The Life of Sesshomaru and Rykotsu (a.k.a Rin)

Chapter 3
RIN POV
I tied my hair up into a high pony, before adding my black armour to my attires. I had previously worn a black kimono with a gold obi underneath to match my new armour. My pony tail was held with a white ribbon which contrasted with my thick black locks of silky long hair. Perfect. I had thought before placing my twin swords, Akuta and Yukata, at my side. It is truly going to be a long day. I stood in front the mirror and saw what everyone saw...a powerful dog demon. As I sat in front of this mirror, my servant, slide on my golden rings onto my slender, but rough fingers. The gold in my attire was a much darker shade to which my eyes were. I think I'm ready.

So...I'm really going to meet Sesshomaru! Yay! I've waited all my life to see him again. He has always been my inspiration. Someone I have looked up to since I was little. Like expected I've read every book and scroll about him, heard many rumours about him roaming the lands. I have even researched a lot about him from his sister...my best companion. However, no book nor scroll contained a single image of him. Just an outline of a man wearing a spiky armour with long flowing hair. This outline itself was filled with black ink. Why does he have to be such a mystery? Oh, I can not wait to see what the greatest, most powerful demon of all time looks like!

I was drawn away from my thoughts when someone knocked on the door.

"Enter." I declared.

"Master Ryokotsu. Please get ready to walk down this corridor to where the meeting shall take place," informed my loyal guard, Toki.

"I shall," I said before arising from my seat and walking towards the corridor.

Once the door was closed, a loud yell went across the whole building. Then, huge clash symbols were played, filling the wide area.

"GREAT LORD INU NO TAISHO OF THE WEST! THE LAND OF THE SETTING SUN!"

This music was made of a range of metallic instruments, with a clear emphasis on strings and drums. (A/N: Terminator 2 Theme Song)

Another announcement.

"GREAT LORD KUMO OF THE NORTH! THE LAND OF THE NORTHERN STAR!"

Kumo's theme was mainly hollow wind instruments. Sounding somewhat evil. It always gave the humans goosebumps. (A/N: Hakudoshi's Theme from Inuyasha)

"GREAT LORD RANKOTSU OF THE SOUTH! THE LAND OF THE SOUTHERN STAR AND NOW RULER OF THE EASTERN LANDS OF THE RISING SUN!"

My father's theme sounded slightly evil, but it also had the sense of power in it. (A/N: Bankotsu's theme from Inuyasha)

"NOW FOR THE MOST POWERFUL DEMON, MASTER SESSHOMARU OF THE WEST!"

Loud music blasted. Giving the sense of power, superiority and evil. It was the most powerful thing I had heard. (A/N: Sesshomaru's theme from Inuyasha)

"MASTER NARAKU OF THE NORTHERN LANDS!"

His music was as evil as his fathers. You could simply hear the venom in it. (A/N: Naraku's theme from Inuyasha)

"THE NEW MEMBER GREAT MASTER RYOKOTSU OF THE SOUTH! CONQUEROR OF THE EAST!"

My music started playing. It was similar to Sesshomaru's but different. More like my father's maybe. Well, I made it myself and I'm proud of it. (A/N: Band of Seven theme from Inuyasha)

I walked down the long corridor; then the light blinded my eyes. I stepped into my balcony and gave a manly smile to the others on my floor and the ones above mine. Hm...so which one is Sesshomaru? I looked in front of me to see a man with black lock till him shoulders. His smile was genuine but his eyes had a glint of evil in them. I don't think it's him. I look over to my left. The sight before me made my youkai jump out of place. He had long silver locks like Taisho-sama and Tamae-chan; his face was stern and emotionless like his sister had said. He wore a white kimono, with a yellow obi, under his silver metal armour. His moko-moko on his shoulder was as white and fluffy as the clouds. I slowly looked up, only to realize he was looking at me with wide golden eyes that pierced into your soul.

Sesshomaru POV

How awfully long this meeting would be...I looked straight ahead and realised the positions of the East were empty again. So the South has conquered it, huh?

"THE NEW MEMBER GREAT MASTER RYOKOTSU OF THE SOUTH! CONQUEROR OF THE EAST!" announced the speaker. Did he just say Ryokotsu? All the members of the Clan of Seven confuse me, ending in "-kotsu" and all. Rankotsu, Kyokotsu, Keikotsu, Mukotsu, Jakotsu, Ryokotsu, Sumikotsu and so much more.

I continued staring at the Eastern position wondering how this Ryokotsu has conquered it. It had a powerful Lord with powerful children, how is it even possible? I have heard this Ryokotsu is one of high class and famous between the women. He is also considered ultimately powerful, I wonder...would he be a worthy opponent?

All of a sudden a puff of a sweet familiar scent entered my nose and my yokai roared.

FLASHBACK:
My father entered the room, where Lord Rankotsu's wife had given birth to a pair of beautiful demon twins.

"CONGRATULATIONS, TAMAYOKI!" shouted my father, happily.

"Thank you, Lord Taisho," said Lady Tamayoki in a small voice.

"Have you announced it yet my cousin?" asked Izayoi.

"Not yet. We were waiting for you," she replied softly.

Father walked over to Lord Rankotsu and started to discuss the announcement.

One with long ginger hair and green eyes, in a small dark blue robe, who was held by his father's strong arms.

I turned to my left and saw the other lay on its mother's lap. It had long silky black hair and gold eyes, which stared back at me. In that second, I breathed in quickly and my yokai pulsed.

'MAAAATTTTTEE!' It roared. Mate? What is a mate?

I pulled my father's kimono sleeve and he bends down to my level.

"What is it, Sesshomaru?" he asked.

"What is a mate, father?" I asked him.

"Mate? What makes you ask this now?" he whispered.

"My yokai just roared mate, when I looked at the pup in Lady Tamayoki's arms," I whispered back.

My father's eyes widened. He quickly looked away.

He then smiled at Lord Rankotsu,"Let us announce the birth of your pups."

Lord Rankotsu nodded and carried he pup to the door. My father followed with the other one. Everyone else followed behind them.

Standing on the balcony of the Southern Palace, Lord Rankotsu announces: "DEAR CITIZENS OF AKUMAHITOSHI! I HEREBY ANNOUNCE THE BIRTH OF MY TWO SONS! MASTER RYOKOTSU AND MASTER JAKOTSU! FUTURE WARRIOR OF THE LAND!"

Oh! They are both boys.

After the celebration, we returned home and father took me into his chamber. He stood by his large window staring into the mountain, where the sun was now setting.

"Sesshomaru." My father said softly.

"Yes, father?"

"You will not be going back to the South for a few demon years," he commanded.

"Why?" I asked shocked.

"Because your yokai is telling you that the SON of Lord Rankotsu is your mate." He replied.

"But what is wrong with that? What is a mate?" I asked, feeling very confused.

"A mate is what Izayoi is to me. A mate is what Lady Tamayoki is to Lord Rankotsu. Do you understand?"

WHAT? A MAN CAN'T BE THE MATE OF A MAN THAN. They can't have babies. "Oh," I replied.

END OF FLASHBACK

So is this Ryokotsu? My mate?

Impossible.

A/N: Hey guys! I'm really sorry for these yearly chapter updates. I've been very busy with work, school and anime. To make up for this I'd be updating my profile recommending some new anime. This chapter took me a while to write, picking the ideas of character introduction and everything. Moreover, guys I've been working on the SEQUEL to this story already so I'll be working very hard on this story whenever I have time.

Love you loads,
Rin xxxx

P.S. Please leave reviews and help me improve. The general plot has been already decided but your ideas may be considered for future chapters.
