Chapter Two
(Sesshoumaru)
“The great lord is dead,”
A strangled scream erupted from the room. I turned my head and saw Inu-yasha’s mother fall to the ground. Inu-yasha bent down to her. She began to shake. I heard her mummer to herself over and over. She looked over to Inu-yasha. She stopped talking to herself and touched his face. A small smile graced her face for a moment. Inu-yasha looked relived for a moment. Then her eyes shot open and she screamed again. Inu-yasha tried to hold her, but she pushed out of his way. She began to kick and thrash around. Inu-yasha held her down screaming to her. She finally stopped and slumped into his arms.
“Mother? Mother! Please say something!” He shouted.
He shook the woman. Her head rolled over to the side. I had a clear view of her face. Her face was blank, her skin was a whole shade paler then usual. Her eyes though, her eyes were empty pits. Dark and hallow, like the life was totally gone. I heard her mummer our father’s name over and over.
“Mother…” Inu-yasha’s voiced cracked.
He hugged his mother closer and tried to hold back his tears. The youkai lord came up to me. He bowed slightly.
“It is in you’re father’s will that you, Sesshoumaru, take over for you’re father’s rank,” he said.
Inu-yasha looked at us. “You mean…”
“Yes, the new lord of the western lands is Sesshoumaru,” he said bowing to me.
I stood there not moving. I wasn’t shocked; I already knew I was going to be the next lord. I looked at Inu-yasha holding his mother. He began to shake; I could hear her faintly sob into her shoulder. The youkai lord went to Inu-yasha and touched his shoulder. I growled in the back of my throat.
“May next time young one you can claim some lands for yourself,” he said.
Inu-yasha turned and looked and glared at the lord. I wanted to laugh at him. Inu-yasha didn’t want the land. Inu-yasha was never interested in the lands. He was odd like that. I could never understand why but he never was. Right now he was only interested in his mother.
I could see the tears form on his eyes again but he quickly whipped them away. He got up, picking up his mother, and started to walk away. The lord chuckled and walked up to me.
“You’re brother is quiet…amusing…” he said a chuckled a little more.
I glared at him. And started to walk away. He stood in front of me again. He bowed quickly and looked at me.
“May I stay for a while? I have been in battle with you’re father and I have been wounded. I need time to recover…” he said.
I looked away and waved my arm. A servant came in and began to show him the way to his room. He grinned and followed the servant. I glared at him once more then turned to find Inu-yasha and his mother.
I did not like the lord, but it really didn’t matter if I liked him or not. He was my father’s ally so he shall be mine. In the youkai world allies are the most important thing in the world. Without allies to support you’re kingdom then you are vulnerable to attacks form other lords. The Lord, who delivered the news, Lord Takashi, is a very powerful and dangerous lord. He rules over the lands of the south and is known for his cruelty. His army is huge, and anyone who is on his side can win any battle, or war.
I followed the sound of faint sobbing, his mother’s sobbing. I smoothly walked into the room, and looked at the two. Inu-yasha held his mother’s hand and began to rub it gently. I could hear him offer soothing words to her. She stared at the wall, not blinking or moving. She looked dead from where I looked. I moved closer to the two. I stood next to Inu-yasha and looked down at the woman.
She suddenly turned her head at me and started speaking.
“He loved me, me! Keep away from me you witch! He doesn’t love you! Leave his son alone!!” she screamed.
She began to thrash around; Inu-yasha leaped out and held his mother down. She stopped trashing and held onto her son. She began to sob again into his shoulder and he rubbed her back. She looked at him with those blank eyes.
“She’s gone, thank you. You saved our children…Thank you…We can be together…” she said.
Inu-yasha backed away from his mother. Grabbed his shoulder to get him to stop. She reached out for Inu-yasha.
“Please…my lord…don’t leave me…I need you, I’m so lonely tonight…” she cried out.
Inu-yasha looked to me, fear filling his eyes. “What’s going on with Mother? Why is she acting like this?!” he asked grabbing my shoulders.
I looked to the whimpering woman to my brother, and back again. Of course. I pulled Inu-yasha off my shoulders.
“She’s gone mad. The grief from losing her mate has driven her mad,” I said slowly.
“H-How…”
“The bond between mates is so strong that each mate can feel each other’s feelings. What ever the one mate feels the other one feels it. But when a mate dies the other one looses the connection and goes insane. You see with the connection both mates live off each other. It’s kind of like cutting off air to a person. Once they lose their air they can’t go on.” I said.
Inu-yasha turned to his mother. She was mumbling and rolling on the floor. Calling out ‘my lord’ every so often. He bit his lip and looked to the ground. He looked at me again.
“Why is she calling me ‘my lord’?” he asked.
I reached out and touched his face. “You gain our father’s looks. She’s gone so mad that she thinks that you’re our father,” I said.
His eyes narrowed again. “You look like your mother…that’s why she called you a witch…”
I nodded. He stepped away from me and bent down to his mother. She smiled and touched his face.
“My lord…” she mumbled.
His face fell. I could see he became visibly depressed. His own mother didn’t even recognize him. I looked at his arms and watched them shake a little. He then looked at his mother and gave her a sad smile. He touched her head and left her. He came by me but said nothing. I watched him slowly leave his mothers room. I looked back the sad pathetic woman. She was smiling stupidly and touching her head. I shook my head and left the room.
I sat outside the house. I didn’t want to go into the house again. Not with my own mother who doesn’t recognize me. I thought to my father’s death. I was sad he was dead, really. But I never saw him enough to be upset about his death. He was always off on some kind of business or something like that. He was never there for me growing up. Now that he’s dead we can never make up on lost time.
Then something dawned on me. Sesshoumaru was the new lord of the western lands. He was going to be away for all the same mission and wars as father was. My body went into shock. No…If he becomes the new lord then I’ll never see him again. I can’t bare that…
I got up and started to run inside to look for Sesshoumaru. But then I ran into something instead. It caught me and laughed in a deep voice.
“Watch where you going ok?” the voice said jokingly.
I looked up. There in front of me was the lord who came with the news of my father’s death. He gave me a cocky grin and winked. I looked to his hand holding my shoulders.
“Let go of me please…” I said to him.
He laughed and dropped me. I landed on my feet and started to walk away. He started to follow me. I turned to face him.
“Why are you following me?” I asked.
He laughed. “Why not!” he said.
“I’m sorry lord…”
“Takashi,”
“…Takashi but I am off to visit my brother, alone.” I said.
“Trying to in on some of his land?” he said mockingly.
I turned around and glared at him. “I have no interest in the lands,” I said.
He laughed. In fact he laughed so hard that he nearly fell over. I glared at him and clutched my fists together. He stopped laughing and looked at me seriously. He walked over to me and draped his arm over my shoulders; he leaned in close to my ear.
“You’re so much like him you know that…?” he whispered.
I pushed him back and backed away. I glared at him and he chuckled. I stormed away listening to the sounds of his laughter. I walked down the halls some more until I hit something else. I fell to the ground and started shouting.
“I thought I told you-“
“Told me what?” a cold voice said.
I looked up. It was Sesshoumaru. I breathed a sigh of relief and stood up.
“Nothing, I thought you were Takashi-sama…” I said.
He glared at that name. I felt his hand trace my face, fingers brushing my cheeks. He leaned in close and licked my ear.
“What did he say to you?” he whispered.
I whimpered. “N-Nothing…”
His hand reached behind my back and began to rub is slowly. His hand reached down and began to pick at the top my pants.
“Tell me…” he whispered.
I began to tremble under his touch. His hand reached inside my pants and began to feel inside, his hand touching my hips and my ass. My back arched and I moaned out loud. I could feel my arousal touch his stomach. He growled in the back of his throat and pushed me against a wall. I gasped out form the contact form hitting the wall. I felt him grind his hips into me. His arousal bumped into me and I moaned out loud. He bent down to meet my face.
“Tell. Me. Now,” He said.
“H-He thought I-I wanted your L-Land…” I stuttered.
He looked me in the eye fro a moment then began to lick my neck. His tongue made its way to my ear and began to lick the lobe. He began to blow on it gently, and nibble it. I reached my hands around his neck and began to twirl my fingers around his hair. He pulled me away from the wall and turned me so he backed up against the wall.
I moved my hands so they touched his chest. I reached inside and felt his chest. I got to his nipples and began to flick them a little. His hands reached over and grabbed my shoulders. I could hear him hiss a little. I pulled my head down and licked them a little. I began to lick and tease the one. I listened to him breath and groan every so often. He looked down and me and pushed me to the ground. He got on top of me and licked my cheek.
“My turn now,”
(HA! You thought you were getting a lemon huh? Not yet mi amigos. It will be soon though! It’s not over yet! Keep reading!)
I arched my back and pulled my kimono closed. The air started to get cold as the sun was starting to set. I looked at Sesshoumaru. He was staring out at the fields. Almost as if he was looking for something. I walked up to him and leaned into his ear.
“What are you looking for,” I asked.
He looked at me. “Nothing…and everything,” he said.
I crossed my arms and looked at him. “That doesn’t make sense,”
“You’ll understand it when you’re older,” he said.
I frowned. “So am I a child now?”
He paused and looked at me. “Yes…” a smirk forming. “You are,”
I glared at him. “I am not a child!”
He grabbed my ankle and knocked me down. I fell but then was caught by strong arms. I blushed as he cradled me close to him. His face brushed against mine.
“Mine…” I heard him whisper.
I closed my eyes and leaned into him. I brushed my face against his, and put my arms around his neck. We sat there like that for I don’t know how long. But it was wonderful. Being in the arms of my brother. Then I felt something near by. My eyes snapped open and I looked over Sesshoumaru’s shoulder.
It was him, Takashi-sama. He was only a hundred feet away but he was looking right at us. I blinked. His eyes moved around until they met mine. I closed my eyes and looked back at Sesshoumaru. He looked at me with hard eyes. He saw that I looked over his shoulder.
“Sesshoumaru he sa-“
He grabbed my face and kissed the top of my head. I blushed but then he pushed me off. I watched him get up and walk off. I looked at the ground and cursed. Damn him, why did he have to be standing there. Why did he make me look at him…
My head snapped up. Shit I forgot to talk to Sesshoumaru about him becoming the lord. I got up and started to chase after him. The light all around me dimmed and it was nightfall. I looked around. I sniffed for his sent. Why didn’t I smell it? I should have found…
My eyes went wide. I looked at my hands. The claws were gone. I grabbed some of my hair and pulled it in front of me so I could see it. Black, pure black. Shit, shit, shit! I’m human again. I can’t let him see me like this! I began to run to my room. I can’t let anyone see me.
I ran into my room and slammed the door shut. I breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed on my futon. Out of no where a rough hand grabbed my shoulder and pulled me close to it. I yelped and struggled but the hands were too strong.
“Heh heh, you’re human form. I have to say for a human you look beautiful.”
I froze. I recognized that voice. I turned my head around to be face to face with Takashi-sama. My eyes went wide and I attempted to run. He grabbed me and threw me to the ground. I felt him get on top of me and straddle my waist. I struggled to get away from him, he laughed at me.
“I wouldn’t try Inu-yasha. You human form is no match for me.” He said and leaned into my face.
I could feel his breath on me. I turned my face. “ You look so much like your father you know that?” he said. “Even you’re mother thinks you’re him…then again she went mad!” he laughed again.
I growled and spit at him. He glared at me and wiped it away. He leaned in close to my face again, only this time licking my cheek.
