Fifty-three years after the battle with Naraku, word spread throughout the land that the Lord of the West had taken a mate. The rumor said, that the lord had taken a hanyou as his beloved. Though that wasn't the only rumor about the mated pair. The rumor that followed closely behind was the hanyou's temper and hatred for his mate. He had been forcibly mated and bound to the lord for eternity. Said hanyou was currently sitting in his bed chambers, pissed off once more. Servants were currently going on and on about how much they loved the king and how lucky he was to be mated to him. It'd been a day since he was forcibly brought here and four hours after his last escape attempt. "Piss off!" He growled loudly, sending the servants into a frenzy of fear. "The next time one of you mentions that bastard around me I'll run you through with my fucking Tetsaiga!" He bellowed. "Now get the fuck out!" They ran from his chambers with tears in their eyes and the scent of fear obvious in the air.
"You know they are merely here to help." Was Kotono, one of Sesshomaru's advisors. "No need to be nasty."
"Would you be calm if you were a fucking prisoner? Now get the fuck out before I kill you." The hanyou's youki pulsed dangerously.
"Young hanyou I am not your enemy." The advisor started.
"Everyone in this castle and everyone in these lands is my fucking enemy. Now leave." He growled, losing his patience.
"Trust me my lord, you'll come to love it here." He said as he turned to leave. Kotono had been advisor to the lord of the west for centuries. He was a great and just ruler and he was sure the hanyou would see reason.
Inuyasha began to laugh, "We'll see, now won't we?" The door closed and Inuyasha locked it behind the annoying bastard. Sesshomaru was lucky, lucky that if Inuyasha killed him he'd end up killing himself as well. There had to be a way to remove his cursed mating mark. Inuyasha had no doubt in his heart that there was. He'd been through too much to preserve his life and to have it snatched from him was unacceptable. No matter what it took, Inuyasha was sure he would be able to free himself. Inuyasha sat in his firerat robes, the servants had been setting out a multitude of Kimono, Hakama, and Haori for him to choose from. It was for the ceremony that he would not be going to. According to the annoying servants the lords and ladies from other lands would be coming to congratulate and give gifts to the happy mated pair. Inuyasha threw the clothing to the floor before he began planning his next escape. The last time he'd gotten quite far, his only issue was the bastard king. When word reached Sesshomaru of his escape the lord came quickly, he needed to get so far from the castle before that happened that the shitty lord wouldn't know where he went.
Inuyasha's ears twitched at knocking on the door. "Fuck off." He growled at the unknown entity. The being knocked again. He didn't want to see anyone. The knocking continued and was quite persistent. It was ticking the already angry hanyou off. Grabbing Tetsaiga he transformed it before standing in front of the door. "You have three seconds before Tetsaiga ends your life." The knocking continued with each count. After one he blasted the entire wall, not caring about destroying the castle and everyone within. When the dust cleared, no one was there.
From behind what remained of the wall the bastard showed his ugly mug. "Have you lost your mind? You could've killed someone!"
"Oh wow, I don't know how Tetsaiga works, that wasn't my intention at all." He shot back, his voice dripping in sarcasm. Beside the lord, he noted, stood a servant girl shaking. She was a wolf and she heard his warning. She should've backed off. The lord had told them that while the hanyou had a temper, he was quite charismatic and kind but from what she was looking at that was not the case. Tears welled up in her eyes as she began to cry, the full reality that she'd nearly lost her life hitting her. Guards took her away from the mess and Inuyasha rolled his eyes.
Sesshomaru's emotionless face stared at Inuyasha who glared at him. "If you are to live here you cannot scare off those who are doing their jobs."
"Oh really? I can't? Any servant who so much as opens their mouth around me, I will kill." Inuyasha laughed, "They can test me if they want to. Bastard." Inuyasha taunted. Sesshomaru growled grabbing the hanyou, forcing him to drop the Tetsaiga at the pressure placed on his wrist but Inuyasha merely stared into his cold eyes in challenge, "What are you gonna do bastard? Rape me again? Kill me?" Sesshomaru had had enough, growling he released the hanyou and ordered for the mess to be cleaned up. "Thought so, bastard." Inuyasha smirked triumphantly. He watched the servants use magic to fix the walls and door as they tried desperately to avoid eye contact and keep silent. If he ended up stuck here, this is how he wanted it to be. No contact with anyone, ever. When they were finished, they cleaned up the clothing and left with fire on their backs. Inuyasha examined Tetsaiga, wondering if he should destroy something else to get his point across.
When dinner rolled around Inuyasha sat quietly in his room. He didn't want to eat anything, he didn't want to see anyone. He was currently moping about the turn his life had taken. One minute he's sleeping peacefully in a tree, the next he's being raped by his own brother. Not only was his body still in pain, but his pride was hurt. He was staring off into a panicked daze as the events replayed in his head causing his body to tremble slightly. His door then opened and the fugly green toad walked in with servants pushing a cart. "His majesty has assumed you aren't coming to dinner and so he has had food brought to you hanyou!" The green thing started mumbling about vile hanyou and said hanyou approached slowly. The servants began to shake in fear, having heard what almost happened to a servant earlier in the day. Inuyasha balled his fist tightly and hit the toad with all his might before kicking the cart over. "Why you!"
"Tell that bastard to fuck off." A servant nearly opened his mouth to speak against Inuyasha's insult but remained quiet when Inuyasha's glare landed on him. "Clean the shit up and get out." The servant hurried to do as said before grabbing the toad and making their escape. Inuyasha sighed and sat in front of the balcony. He could admit that the view was beautiful but he was still a caged bird looking out. Not sleeping, sometime before dawn he left his rooms for the first time since Sesshomaru put him there after capturing him. He'd seen fruit trees from his balcony and decided that's what he wanted. Hoping into one of the trees he noticed several barrels, he assumed they collected the fruit for the castle. Shrugging he began eating, he nearly ate the tree bare before he was satisfied. Looking down he could see the servants bustling around, the dumb ass ceremony was in a week or something like that. They were all fooling themselves if they thought he was actually going to go. Making himself comfortable he ended up dozing off.
When he woke, servants were picking from the other trees. Taking a few more fruit before jumping down, he stretched and began to wander. He felt the mark on his shoulder throb and wondered what the hell it meant. He scratched it and continued on his way. The castle seemed to go on for forever, he wasn't lost, just wanted to know the layout. Taking note of all the exits as well as seemingly hidden windows he felt quite satisfied. He finally made it to the garden that his balcony overlooked. He jumped on the wall and looked out at his freedom being taunted in front of him. Lost in thought, he simply stood and stared at the endless expansion of sea. From where his rooms were. If he looked down there was ocean and sharp rocks that could kill even the most powerful youki.
A guard had seen Inuyasha standing with a blank stare and sent a servant to alert Sesshomaru of his possible escape attempt. Inuyasha didn't even move when the lord arrived his angry youki flaring. "Inuyasha." The lord growled.
"Asshole." Inuyasha replied bored.
"What are you doing?" Sesshomaru watched the hanyou closely. Surely, he was not foolish enough to believe he could escape, especially with the lord standing with him.
"Reminiscing about when I used to be happy." Inuyasha whispered sarcastically before jumping down then jumping into the balcony of his room and shutting the doors. Sesshomaru merely came in after him and stood in front of the hanyou, who sat on the floor with his knees pulled to his chest. Inuyasha said nothing as he stared off into space. Sesshomaru squinted his eyes at the hanyou as he tried to sort through the emotions he was receiving, his behavior needed to stop. He'd hoped that using female servants would have kept him from being too rough with the staff. Servants were too afraid to come near him after hearing about how he nearly killed one of them. Saying nothing he exited the room, nothing would come from an argument. He would talk to the hanyou at a later time, it was quite early and he seemed to have cooled off for now.
Inuyasha fell asleep on the floor but woke in the uncomfortable bed later that night. Sesshomaru's gross scent was on him and he filled the bath to wash it away. Jumping in completely clothed he scrubbed at his hair where the scent was the heaviest. Jumping out, he made his way to the balcony and jumped down. Soaked he walked through the halls on his way back to the orchard to eat more fruit. It was still early and he assumed dinner was taking place. Shaking dry in the middle of the hall, and possibly ruining an expensive painting of the bastard king, he made his way to the dining room as he continued to drip from leftover water. As he thought, dinner was being served but Sesshomaru wasn't the only one at the table. Several important looking youki were also there, and all eyes were on him. "Lord Inuyasha, we didn't think you'd be joining us." Were the words from a bear youki.
"Piss. Off." Was his quick response as he headed to the kitchen's.
"Inuyasha, Lord Yoghi is one of our most trusted allies, and has been ally to us since the time of Lord Touga."
"Oh, so I'm supposed to care? Fuck off, you ass." Entering the kitchen and rudely telling the cook to make him food he sighed. He was going to ask politely but the bastard had soured his mood by existing.
In the dining room, Sesshomaru apologized for Inuyasha's rudeness. "The boy sure has a lot of fight in him! Reminds me of you when you were young!" Lord Yoghi laughed loudly.
"According to our people he's saved a great many of them. Could he just be having a hard time adjusting?" An elemental youki, Lady Kaisha asked. Everyone became silent once more when Inuyasha reentered with a large plate of food. Eating as he made his way from the room he was stopped by Lady Kaisha. "My name is Lady Kaisha, I must thank the hanyou that saved a great deal of my people in the southern lands."
Inuyasha glared at her. "Why are you talking to me?" Taken aback the queen began again only to be stopped, "You know what. Nevermind." Dropping the plate of food in front of her, which broke loudly, he walked passed her, "You ruined my appetite."
Sesshomaru growled loudly, "Inuyasha."
"What bastard?" Inuyasha growled back. Sesshomaru grabbed him by his hair and pulled him from the room. Inuyasha tried his best to claw at the firm grip but no matter how much blood he drew the lord wouldn't release him.
When they entered his chambers Sesshomaru knocked him down, "Are you trying to start a war?"
"I don't fucking care about these goddamn lands, let them fucking burn bastard!" Inuyasha shouted.
"You will cease this behavior. You will apologize to those you've offended and you will not call me out of my name in front of others, do you hear me?" Sesshomaru's eyes flashed red with the need to discipline his mate. Inuyasha glared menacingly at the lord. "Do you hear me, Inuyasha?" Sesshomaru repeated, expecting an answer.
"Fuck you. Bastard." Inuyasha snarled. Sesshomaru growled and pinned the hanyou to the floor. Using one strong hand he held his hands above his head and began to strip him with the other. "What the fuck!? Let me go!" He shouted, desperately trying to free himself. Sesshomaru shredded the robes of the fire-rat with his claws, and Inuyasha's undergarments were also shredded. The lord then freed his cock and positioned himself. As he began to press in Inuyasha began panicking and hyperventilating as he shouted, "Let me go you fucking rapist!" Sesshomaru paused, his grip tightened and his eyes became red. Pushing in to the hilt, Inuyasha screamed bloody murder. Servants in the hall heard the scream and tensed in fear, wondering what would cause the young lord to scream as such.
Without Tetsaiga touching his body his youkai took over and snapped at the lord with his fangs. "Even his youkai is opposed," Sesshomaru thought angrily. Grabbing the hanyou's face he wrenched his head to the side and bit into the mating mark, forcing the hanyou to submit. His cock became hard instantly as his passage finally began to lubricate. Sesshomaru began a harsh pace using his demon speed and strength. Inuyasha's youkai form wouldn't stop struggling as it desperately tried to free itself. Biting down harder, but this time at the exposed throat, the hanyou went limp in submission fearful of having its throat ripped out. Without it fighting Sesshomaru was able to focus on his task. Soon, Inuyasha was forced to cum and he followed closely after. Pulling his cock from Inuyasha's abused hole, it was covered in blood and semen. Sesshomaru grimaced and looked up into the fearful red eyes of Inuyasha's youkai. Standing and righting his clothing, "You will apologize." Sesshomaru growled before leaving.
Inuyasha's youkai laid on the floor for quite a while before it began to howl its sorrows and cry out for help. The howls were loud and shook the castle, many canine youki that worked as servants couldn't believe what they were hearing. Canine guards rushed to the room of the lord, anxious and instinctively worried, but Sesshomaru sent them away. None had known it to be possible for a youkai to reject a mate as powerful as Sesshomaru. The lord was quite literally the epitome of what any youki could want for breeding and status in the world, but it was obvious to the canine youki that the hanyou wanted no part in that. Eventually, the howling stopped and Inuyasha's youkai faded leaving the hanyou sniffling and picking himself up. He kicked the fire-rat into a pile and made his way to the bathroom. Filling the bath, he sat in near boiling water, feeling beyond filthy. For the first time since Kagome had passed away, he cried. His sobbing was heard only by the lord, who stood in front of his chamber doors his youkai wouldn't allow him to leave, and the servant he'd nearly murdered the day before. Being a dog and a wolf, the two could hear him clearly, though others couldn't. Sesshomaru's youkai was at war with himself, it demanded he removed the threats surrounding his mate but he was the only thing threatening Inuyasha.
"He's so unhappy." The wolf servant noted, feeling horrid for the young man, wondering if things would be different had they met outside of the castle. She looked at her lord who wore an unreadable mask. It must be hard to be the cause of your mate's strife.
Inuyasha eventually calmed down to hiccups before spotting a pair of scissors and hair products by the edge of the bath. Taking the scissors, he examined them before he began cutting. He'd never allow the bastard to drag him away by his hair ever again. Inuyasha cut it so much he didn't even recognize himself in the reflection of the water. When he exited the bath, he entered his bedroom while whipping off the clumps of hair that stuck to his body, he locked both his door and the door to the balcony and drew the curtains. The fire-rat had repaired itself and he pulled it on with an apology. Grabbing Tetsaiga he piled all of the blankets and pillows on the floor before curling up in them. He stayed in the dark like that for eight days, ignoring all the knocks, ignoring the speaking servants, and even ignoring his own needs. Inuyasha cried to himself, he was a prisoner and he didn't know how he could free himself. His stomach growled loudly as the pang of hunger burned him. It'd been a long time since he'd felt that age old sting.
The lock was broken on his door and forced open. Sesshomaru walked in with the servant pushing a cart. "You need to eat." Inuyasha rolled to his other side saying nothing. "Inuyasha, I will not tell you again." Inuyasha said nothing under the mountain of pillows and blankets he'd gathered. That's when Sesshomaru noticed all of the hair around the room. There were chunks of it everywhere. He narrowed his eyes at the bundle, he removed the blankets and Inuyasha struck out at him. Pinning the hanyou's arms to himself he couldn't believe what he was seeing. "What possessed you to do something this inane?"
"Let me go! Let me go! You fucking rapist!" Inuyasha shouted as he struggled for freedom. The scent of his fear hitting the lord, driving his youkai mad with the desire to rid the room of whatever was causing such a reaction.
Sesshomaru pushed his youkai away and glared at the hanyou. Taken aback at being called a rapist yet again the lord paused and growled, "Never. Ever. Belittle my person with that title again, Inuyasha."
"Or what? You'll rape me again! That's what you are! A rapist!" Inuyasha sneered.
Sesshomaru released him with a growl. It hadn't been a month and he'd been insulted more than he'd ever been insulted in his life. Releasing the hanyou he took his leave, "Eat."
Inuyasha sat up breathing heavily. "I fucking hate you." Sesshomaru could feel the hate and animosity Inuyasha felt for him through the mating mark. His youkai whined in his head, upset that he'd upset their mate. It whined and growled, begging him to make the hanyou see reason. He'd let the hanyou cool down before they spoke about the ceremony. Inuyasha glared at the servant, "I don't want that crap. Leave."
"I-I'm sorry Lord Inuyasha…b-but…Lord Sesshomaru s-said…" She stuttered.
"What's your name?" He asked.
"Maiyu mi'lord." She answered.
"Well, Maiyu, you can take the food and what Sesshomaru said, and shove it up your ass. Get the fuck out or die." Maiyu ran off in tears, leaving the cart much to Inuyasha's displeasure.
"Making a young girl cry, mi'lord how distasteful." Was Kotono once more. Inuyasha unsheathed Tetsaiga, he was tired of the games the people in the castle played with him. "Oh, my lord you won't use…" The youki's body dropped to the ground, officially becoming the first person in the castle to die by his hand. Sliding to the floor, he stared at the body as blood poured from it. A servant walked past and screamed loudly, guards rushed to the scene pausing at the sight of the deceased man.
"Anyone else wanna try fucking with me?" Inuyasha threatened. Sitting on the balcony he waited for the guards to take the youki's body and the servants to clean the blood from the room. He looked down at the garden below, then at the walls of his prison. He thought about when Sesshomaru first attacked him, it had to be around two weeks ago or something by now. He jumped down and made his way to the orchard, he wanted more fruit.
()()()()()()()()()()
When he finally arrived, he jumped into a tree and began eating again. The fruit reminded him of home, of Kagome, and his other friends. Blood still stained his haori and hakama but he didn't really care. If he had to start chopping heads off to make his point, then that's what he'd do. Later in the day he made his way back to his rooms. "I-I don't know what happened mi'lord…I thought he was all talk that he wouldn't…"
"Inuyasha is volatile. It's best if you didn't bother him. Stay away from him Kotono…I won't revive you again." Were Sesshomaru's words. "Inuyasha. Please do not kill my advisors and servants. They have done nothing to deserve it."
Inuyasha glared at the lord when he rounded the corner the advisor flinched and backed away from him, "Anyone sick enough to follow you needs to be put out of their misery." He bit out before continuing on his way. Sesshomaru watched his retreating back, lost on what to do with the hanyou before a lightbulb went off in his head. "You may have everyone in this godforsaken place fooled but I know who you really are." Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes and Kotono looked between the two, the tension in the room so thick he felt like he was choking on it.
Inuyasha was pleased to see that everything had been cleaned. He felt a little sick but assumed that was from starving then overeating. Pulling the blankets from the bed and piling them on the floor once more he curled up with Tetsaiga. "There is a bed." Were the words from a woman. Sitting up, he was ready to kill whomever it was. "My name is Masane, I am the head castle healer. Lord Sesshomaru wished for me to examine you."
"Get out." Inuyasha said quietly, his ire increasing with every moment the woman stood before him.
"Don't worry, all I have to do is look at you. Well, through you." She eyed him up and down. "Interesting. Are you feeling unwell?" Inuyasha merely growled in response. "I understand why you're upset with the King. I don't agree with what he's done to you but it's been done. He's the only person you can be with now, you should try to make the most of it." Sesshomaru stood outside of the door, certain that he'd made the right choice in sending Masane.
At that Inuyasha laughed, "You expect me to roll over and accept that that bastard raped me and is keeping me imprisoned here? You think the fact that I'm stuck with him will change my mind? Sesshomaru put me through hell for almost my entire life, so he'd better be fucking ready for a show if he thinks this is over. Get. Out. I won't tell you again."
"Well, my lord, the ceremony is in six days. Think about attending. After all, eternity is a long time." Masane looked him over once more to confirm what she saw before meeting her lord in the hall and walking with him to her office. "He is quite the card my lord." Sesshomaru said nothing in return. "He is also pregnant."
Sesshomaru's eyes widened a fraction, "How long?"
"He is maybe two weeks along. Seven more weeks and the pup or pups will be here." She concluded. "But he needs to be examined and only eating fruit will not help the growing pup or pups. In all honestly, with the levels of distress coursing through his unfed body the pups aren't going to survive. He'll lose this pregnancy and any other after this if it continues." She concluded, thinking about what she'd seen. The aura of the pups was still too faint for Inuyasha to feel but it wouldn't be long until he realized it.
"I can't do much of anything about his behavior without him snapping out every time he sees me." Sesshomaru contemplated.
"Well my lord, this is what happens when you take a mate by force. I wouldn't be surprised if even after birthing a child he rejected it and was content with letting it die." She sighed.
"He wouldn't do something like that. He wouldn't harm an innocent child." Sesshomaru was certain of that.
She had been working for the shiroinu clan for many generations and had seen this more than once. "And Lord Touga thought the same about your mother. Did you really think he'd be okay with this?"
"What would your advice be?"
"Leave him alone. Let him hole himself in his room. Let him be alone and think about things. Stay away from him." She stated as if it were obvious. "He needs a better bed as well. It's uncomfortable and he refuses to use it. Restlessness will not help his condition."
"That can be done but my youkai won't allow that." Sesshomaru bit out.
"Then your youkai should know it will be responsible for the deaths of your unborn pups." She stated coolly. Sesshomaru felt the fire in his youkai die down at the thought of the deaths of his unborn pups. Leaving the room, he ordered that all servants never set foot in the hall that housed the hanyou's chambers and guards were to stay away as well. If this is what he must do then so be it. During dinner with the many lords and ladies that arrived to congratulate him he informed them that they were to have no contact with his mate, who was quite upset. They nodded in respect to his wishes. Sesshomaru sighed, this was turning out to be more work than what he was ready for.
()()()()()()()()()()
Inuyasha lay in his mountain of blankets, he'd went and gotten more to add to the fluffle. He was surprised that no one had bothered him in four days. No knocking, no annoying servants, not even feet scurrying past his door. Something was off. Inuyasha sighed and tried to go back to sleep. At least in his dreams he was free. The following morning his stomach growled fiercely but he ignored it. He didn't want anything Sesshomaru deemed food and slept soundly in his mountain. He woke up every now and then wondering why no one had been bothering him, he was becoming quite suspicious but maybe they'd finally taken a hint after he killed that guy. He thought to himself.
In Sesshomaru's office, however, Inuyasha's hunger was driving the youki mad. His youkai was screeching in his head to provide for their pregnant mate, and to keep their mate safe. The only true way for him to do such was to stay away from him. He stood and went to join the visiting lords and ladies for breakfast, his youkai pissed about him eating while their mate went hungry. He pushed it down as he sat before the lords and ladies. They conversed about different topics relating to their respective lands when Inuyasha walked through the door. Lady Kaisha opened her mouth to speak and apologize to the hanyou but Sesshomaru stopped her. He would make sure others left the hanyou alone as well. Sesshomaru and the others said nothing as he went into the kitchen for food. When he reentered the room, the royals had already jumped back into their conversations and the only one watching him was Sesshomaru. His youkai buzzed happily in his head seeing the hanyou with a large plate of food.
Inuyasha walked through the halls eating what he'd grabbed from the kitchen, his stomach whining out it's thanks. He felt a lot better and clear headed. Going back to his room he'd decided when he was going to escape. During the ceremony, the priestess would announce them both to come in. He'd be able to dart away whilst they introduced and talked about how great the lord was. Inuyasha smiled, Sesshomaru would be so caught up in all of the lords and ladies that he wouldn't be able to move from them quick enough. Finishing off the food as he walked he set the plate aside and curled back into his nest. The next day there was a knock at his door for the first time in what seemed like quite a while. Inuyasha could smell the lord strongly on the other side and growled, preparing Tetsaiga. "I am not here to harm you Inuyasha."
"Yeah well since my birth you've been the largest threat to my life so forgive me if I'm not warm and welcoming." Inuyasha growled, youkai agitated.
Sesshomaru examined the levels of stress coming off the hanyou and decided to make it quick. "You must come to the ceremony tonight. There is no room for argument."
"Fine. Get out." Inuyasha gritted.
"The servants will come in a bit past noon to help you prepare. Do not harm them, they are paid to do what they do. Goodbye." The lord turned on his heel and left Inuyasha's room. His youkai felt like it had won a small victory but he had something to ensure that the hanyou would show up.
Inuyasha smiled to himself, Sesshomaru was a fool for believing he was going to go. He'd play along though, he'd play along well. As the lord said, a few hours past noon a servant timidly knocked on his door. "Come in."
He was bored as they dolled him up, one girl whined about him cutting his hair as she trimmed into a style. Another servant hushed her and continued to work. When they finished, they showed him a mirror and he rolled his eyes. "Does something displease you?"
"This is pointless. Why get dressed up to be gawked at? This is stupid." He grumbled.
"Ah, well, my lord the ceremony is when the elders come to find balance within the new mating and for strengthening bonds with treaty holders. Everyone should look their best, though Keira was correct in bemoaning the loss of your hair. It was quite beautiful." The servant explained.
They had dressed him in red, the hakama and haori was covered in stylized jewels and other nonsense. He sighed then looked at the jeweled cuffs. Leading him to the door they left him standing there, as he heard them begin to announce Sesshomaru, he turned to leave but was met with a barrier. He didn't have Tetsaiga by his side, leaving it in his room with his fire-rat robes. He began to panic, he couldn't sit in a room full of youki without the blade. "Why is there a fucking barrier?" He growled angrily. His anxiety levels increased when he heard them call his name and begin to introduce him. He'd much rather die than enter without his sword. He felt the cuffs tug at him. "What the fuck!?" He shouted angrily. He was being pulled into the hall where the event was taking place. With a scowl, he walked in as people 'oh'd and ah'd', glaring daggers at his rapist, who patted the seat next to him, he turned his head up and stood near the exit with his arms crossed looking as unfriendly as possible.
"Lord Inuyasha if you would please join your mate before us?" An elder stated.
"No fucking way in hell." Inuyasha growled.
"It is important for us to finish the ceremony my lord." The elder continued, wondering about the nature of their mating.
"Do you think I care?" Inuyasha laughed becoming more cynical and anxious. There wasn't one youki in the room he could trust, and it was putting him on edge.
"Inuyasha." Sesshomaru growled becoming quite furious with his mate's words against him.
"What!? You ruined my fucking life and are keeping me imprisoned here! Who in their right mind would want to be your mate! You're the last person anyone would choose!" Inuyasha shouted for all to hear. "You twisted bastard! I hate you and always will. Fuck you, fuck everyone in this goddamned room." Inuyasha tried once more to get pass the barrier but found it shrank to the door. "I want my life back." His whispered, thinking about his many adventures and the lifelong friends he'd made on his journeys. "I was happy…and you took that way from me…just like everything else good in my life. You're just like Naraku."
The lord bristled at the comparison to one who'd caused so much misery throughout the lands. "You are not allowed to leave until the ceremony is over. Finish it and the barrier will dissipate." Sesshomaru explained, keeping calm.
"Then I guess we're going to be here for a while. I said I'd come, I never said I'd participate." Inuyasha sneered.
"Inuyasha…" Sesshomaru stated hearing the whispers about how damaged their mating was. He could hear every spoken word and it was draining.
"Tell them what you did." Inuyasha stated after a moment, looking at the lord with a chilled expression that rivaled his own. His eyes showing no emotion and Sesshomaru receiving feelings of apathy at most, through the mark. "Tell them what you did, or let me out of here." The lords and ladies in the room watched and felt the tension grow. They looked between the two Inu with curiosity and bewilderment. "Tell them what you did and I'll participant." Sesshomaru remained silent as he met Inuyasha's dead gaze and the barrier dissipated, "Thought so, you fucking rapist." Many eyes in the crowd widened in disbelief. One man stood to defend the lords honor, accusing Inuyasha of lying but the damage had already been done as all eyes stared at the Lord, who watched his mate. The elder preforming the ceremony sighed before sharing a look with the other elders. Inuyasha took his leave as the elders surrounded the Lord to question him. Inuyasha was relieved to have finally escaped the oppressive environment. He tore off the fancy clothing, shredding it with his claws, before pulling on his fire-rat and standing in the room that seemed even smaller than before. His initial plans had been ruined. He assumed many would stop and talk to Sesshomaru for quite a while and the security detail was focused on the event. Jumping from his balcony he stood on the wall that faced a sheer drop to the ocean and jumped.
