Sorry for the really LATE update. I kinda lost interest in this fiction only cause it was really just supposed to be a bunch of quick one shots but it kinda changed like 2 chapters ago. Hehehe. But that is Okay. Well the Con I went to was fun, met a Madoriko cosplayer and got a shikon jewel from her, while I was dressed as mama Sesshoumaru... I see a flaw in her judgment... Oh well. Other then that nothing has been going on. Getting ready for my next con. Cosplays are done all my application for events are in just doing the waiting game now.
Sesshoumaru laid in his bed for nearly a weak before he finally came back to his own mind. He looked around the room slowly confused and tired. He slowly sat up and glanced around before finally gathering his thoughts and realizing he was in his own room. He slowly got up from his bed before staggering to his door and pushing it open. He glanced around and sniffed slightly.
It was around mid day and both his mother and father were in the palace. He stepped from his room and stumbled down the hall before he was stopped by a smaller demon. He was informed that his father wished him to stay in bed till better and that his father would go to him when he woke. With a snort Sesshoumaru pushed the smaller demon off the walk way and continued down the hall till he reached his father's war room. He reached to open the door but it flew open before his hand could even touch it. The Taisho stood on the other side looking down to his son.
"You are awake." His father smiled and placed a hand on Sesshoumaru's shoulder guiding him in to the room to sit "The doctor we called said you should rest for the next month to make sure you are well."
"I am fine father." Sesshoumaru spoke with a dead pan voice.
"You are not. The poison in your van's from that cat will last a while longer from what I have been told. I wish you some place safe till we are sure it won't harm you any more." His father spoke firmly before narrowing his eyes slightly. "Besides your mother misses you and if you don't see her, it will be my head that is removed."
"I will go visit her and then rest as you wish Father." Sesshoumaru sighed knowing how to pick his battles with his father.
"Good, Now care to explain why you were with that cat and how she got you?" His father crossed his arm's as he sat waiting the answer.
"She... her people were attacking out lands. I went to speak with her to make then stop before an unneeded war broke out," Sesshoumaru was trying to recall everything that had happened he took his head in his hand. "Everything is blurry after that.. Something was off and I didn't leave like I should have..."
"Hm that woman was a nuisance to the demon community. None had a reason to remove her with out causing a bigger issue. That was till she attacked you. Shame it came to her hurting you before something could be done with her. Her younger sister is now in charge of those lands once more." His father sighed heavily. "She wished a pact between us but she has nothing to offer in peace other then her own hand to marriage."
"Father... I refuse to marry a random woman, demon or otherwise." Sesshoumaru was going to stop any idea before it sprouted.
"I wasn't going to ask you to. I wanted to know what you would do in my place." His father asked firmly. It was clear he had his own idea of what to do but wanted to test his son.
"Birth another child and pray its Male, or make an arranged marriage between her or her child with one of our family." Sesshoumaru thought a moment. "But if that is the case it would be my child that would be used to seal the peace."
"Yes you are smart my son." He stood up and looked down to his son." Go to your mother I have some things to speak about with the lady feline."
"Yes Father." Sesshoumaru stood and left slowly taking his time He really didn't wish to see his mother.
He walked through the castle and came to the garden where he saw Jakin watching over a Playing Ah-un. He only smiled slightly as he found his way to his mother's room and looked in the open door to find her sitting and looking over a small scroll. She hummed softly and raised her hand calling him in with out even looking up to see who it was. Sesshoumaru walked in and sat quietly across from his mother waiting for her to finish and to speak.
"Are you done brooding?" She questioned as she started to roll up the scroll.
"I am not brooding." He spoke firmly.
"Last time I check storming out and refusing to come home cause of the death of a pathetic human child is brooding." She looked to him with a cold gaze.
"I left because I could not stand knowing my mother enjoys killing defenseless children cause she has a pointless reason to disliking them" Sesshoumaru barked as he got back up to his feet. "I am done talking to you if that is what you wish to speak of. I have better things to do."
"You will sit back down and you will listen to what I have to say." His mother hummed with a bit of venom in her voice.
"Fine but father wants me back in my room to rest. And soon." Sesshoumaru narrowed his eyes.
"You will stop with your little fling with that human lord's daughter. And you will offer yourself to your father peace with that feline. You will take her hand in marriage. Doing so will double our land, and when your father and I pass of, you will be the most power demon alive." She watched him with cold eyes.
"I will not marry a feline, and my Fling with that woman is of no concern to you, mother." he hissed getting back up. "Speak again on what I am and am not allowed to do, I will relinquish my title and leave this land with no heir, now good bye mother."
Sesshoumaru left her room and went back to his own room. He was greeted by a two headed dragon laying just outside on the grass its heads on the walk way. Sesshoumaru knelt down and placed his hands on their head rubbing them affectionately. He was also greeted by Jakin, whom he ignored and even stepped on when he turned to go to his room. He left his door open and too a seat on his futon before laying back feeling very tired again he closed his eyes letting his body rest again.
A little over month had gone by and Sesshoumaru slept through most of it. What ever that damnable woman did to him really knocked him off his feet. He finally felt better and was actually enjoying the day he spent away from everyone in the castle. He got up and got dressed quickly as he came up with the Idea of visiting the lord's daughter Izayoi. He finished dressing and flipped his tail around and over his shoulder. It was getting longer as it now reached up over his shoulder and back to the base.
Stepping out and whistled calling Ah-un over to him. The dragon was there faster then any horse known. He stepped over and with with a gentle hop up Sesshoumaru to a seat on the back of the dragon. He took the reins snapping them and took flight. He yawned lazily he felt better but he still felt his energy was low. He hoped this trip out would help him get some back.
Soon they were near her village and he has Ah-un land so he could walk in with out scaring everyone. He dismounted and gave another gentle pat before leaving the Dragon to do as it pleased. He walked till he reach the outside of the village and looked about quietly. It was just past mid day and it was sunny. This had to be a good omen for him. He walked down in to the village and people fled and hid giving him his space as he walked to the lord's house.
Once at the house he was blocked from entering by two guard who looked ready to piss them selves. He blinked and hummed slightly before he heard a small cough behind him. He looked back and saw the woman he was coming to visit. He turned and smiled to her before stepping closer to her.
"Greetings, Lady Izayoi." Sesshoumaru bowed his head to her.
"Same to you, Lord, Sesshoumaru." She bowed back. "You look like you are well. I was worried when you did not return."
"I am sorry for worrying you. I should have sent word the moment I was able." Sesshoumaru looked down as he did honestly feel bad. "Would you care to join my company for a while?"
"I wish I could but I have prior engagements I cannot escape at this moment." She bowed her head to him. "I am actually running a little late, truth be told. If you will please excuse me."
"Yes My lady." he bowed deeply. "And I hope you forgive me soon."
Izayoi nodded lightly and left him there alone as she went in to the building to do what she needed to do. Sesshoumaru was mad for her blowing him off but he could not blame her, he did disappear for over three months with out a word. For him three months was a nap for her it was a full harvest season. He would have to think and woo her again. He left the village to find a place to sit and think about what to do. He sat under a tree and he was greeted by is dragon who sat next to him a head in his lap while the other draped over the others neck. The rested like that till after sun down as he felt a slightly flux in the demon aura of the forest.
He sat up quickly and masked his own aura before getting up and walking to wear he felt the spike came from. He was silent as he approached. He was circling around the back of the lord's mansion as he saw a woman dressed in fine silks standing outside a white yukata draped over her head as she stood her hands together. That when he saw his father step from the woods slowly. He watched his father as he approached the woman standing alone. She let her hand drop and she stepped closer to her father.
What he saw next surprised him more then anything. He father leaned down kissing the woman making Sesshoumaru smirk as he remember many of his father's flings. It was when his father pushed the yukate off the girls head did he step back seeing nothing but red. The woman was Izayoi. The woman he was going to ask to wed was kissing his father. He felt like someone stabbed him in the chest. He was feeling a pain he never knew existed. He didn't know what to do he just stood and watched till his father left the woman.
Were human heart that easy flipped? Were humans able to easily change their hearts desire with out much time? He growled deeply and stepped from the woods when she turned around. His eyes were red, as he glared at her. She watched him scared, to scared to move. She looked back to were the Taisho went hoping he would return.
"So was he your prior Engagement?" Sesshoumaru spat out at her. "You easily forgot about me in only three short months?"
"...I … I … It … You..." She stammered not sure what to say as he stepped closer to her.
"I? It? You? What?" Sesshoumaru barked. "You thought you could play both us? I was not supposed to see? What about our night together? Was I not your first? Cause it sure felt like it!"
"You Left! I was left alone! Your father offered me comfort!" She yelled back. "Honestly I thought I was just a fling to you. You were unwed, you don't have a lords work yet!"
"I Left on orders from my father, the man you are now bedding as it seems." Sesshoumaru hissed. "You are nothing but a common whore to think so little of my affections! And to think before I left that day I was planning on returning with victory and a proposal to your father. I am glad I didn't"
"Sesshoumaru, Please. I am Sorry.. Had I known..." She tried to explain.
"Save your apologies and Excuses. Your nothing but a filthy human... Just like my mother said. Vermin who waste life and multiply worse the rabbits" He turned his back, "You are nothing to me. You are but an insect that will be crushed." Sesshoumaru took off in to the wood with a single bound only to emerge back out over the tree line in his full demon self howling to the moon he was soon joined by his dragon as he traveled back home. He could not challenge his father for the woman for two reasons; One like hell he'd win and two he already told her she was worthless to him.
Sesshoumaru needed to be alone and needed to vent. Unfortunately for the few demons hunting they were his target. He ripped them to pieces in a blood rage and moved to the next he even moved to the next demon unfortunate enough to be out this night. The rage he felt burned till he finally passed out from spending all of his energy on the mindless fighting.
