Summary Sesshoumaru takes care of the political opposition
The generals had him where they wanted him. He did not have his father to fall back on anymore.
His mother had agreed to stay out of Sesshoumaru's affairs in exchange for allowing her claim to the Castle in the Air. The army had agreed to stay neutral. They would follow whoever was still standing at the end of the peace conference.
Sesshoumaru was an unknown commodity. His father had never let him fight in the wars. Never permitted him into the Council chambers. He had no allies other than the imp he inherited from his father. Most of all the only sword he carried was the sword that did not cut Tenseiga.
The Generals had lived in fear of the Father. He carried Tessaiga, Tensaiga and So'unga. Sesshoumaru only inherited Tenseiga Where the others were, no one knew. What they did know that the time for seizing power was now while Sesshoumaru was at his weakest. They dare not wait till he found the swords.
The invitation to the peace conference had been a ruse. The way to lure Sesshoumaru out of hiding and into their trap. Once they had him in the Western Shiro, they would finish him off. Then they would be able to divide up the kingdom between them. No need for an Inu no Taisho They would share the power that had formerly been his.
Sesshoumaru entered the conference room and stared at the generals. Fat and worthless. Fools. No wonder his father had preferred to fight his own battles. He scanned the walls. Archers everywhere. It would not have surprised him if they had brought in some dragons to finish him off.
He would not wait for them for to attack. Spotting the generals, he changed form without warning. Before they knew what happened he had one in his jaws and another was already a pile of dokkasou. The others tried to flee but he was too fast for them. They were dead before they hit the ground. When it t was over the Western Shiro was a tomb barren of life
The mighty dog stood in the central square and howled. His father was the last Inu no Taishou. He did not need the dogs. They had proved unfaithful to his father and now to him. Only if they stayed out of his way would they remain alive.
Until he found Tessaiga, he would be unable to complete his Path of Supreme Conquest. He sighed. That meant using the staff of two heads to locate the tomb. Which meant Jaken would continue to plague his footsteps
"Come Jaken"
"I trust everything when well my Lord" Jaken ducked and only received one lump on his head. It must be his lucky day.
