The Princess of the Southern Lands
Chapter 1: The Princess of the Southern Lands
The Lady of the Western Lands looked in disgust at the
family before her own. It was that of
another Inu-youkai. Lord Shin of the
Southern Lands had come to the Western Lands to seek sanctum of Lord Inu no
Taishio.
“Why can you not live within the Southern Lands as you
always have Son of the House of the Black Moon?
Why have you been forced to seek refuge at my house, the House of the
Silver Moon?” Lord Inu no Taishio asked. He was curious to know what had driven a
Taiyoukai close in power to his own out of said youkai’s land.
“Forgive me Lord Inu no Taishio. My family and I have been forced out by a
group of Bobcat and Blood Youkai. My son
has been missing and without his help I did not have anyone to protect my
family. We shall be in your service if
you will allow us to stay until we can regain our lands.” Lord Shin hoped that Lord Inu no Taishio
would help him. All others had scorned
him and his family, especially his wife and daughter, and he could not forsake
them for he loved them more than his life.
“If I may speak milord,” the Lady of the Western Lands asked
as she touched Inu no Taishio’s hand.
“You may,” Inu no Taishio said as he gave her a look that
said she had better behave herself.
“You have only yourself to blame for this problem. Had you not mated this pathetic human and
fathered an even more pathetic half breed daughter then you would not have been
punished as you have. And they you have
the audacity to come here and ask us to take in such rubbish. These filthy creatures will not be…”
“ENOUGH!!!” The Lady
of the Western Lands clamped her mouth shut tightly as she glared at her
mate. His eyes were filled with
rage. “I have to be careful or there will be more problems to deal with, on
top of these filthy beings running about in my home. I cannot allow such a thing. Hmmm.” The Lady of the West thought as she looked at
her son, Sesshomaru. There was still
hope.
“Well if I no longer able to speak as such may I make a
proposition milord?” She asked sweetly purring to Inu no Taishio.
“I will hear it,” Inu no Taishio said giving her a look that
make the bravest of youkai cower, but not his lady.
“Why not see if they are worthy of being within our powerful
castle?” The Lady went on even with the dangerous look she received from her mate. “Let their half-breed daughter spar against
our pure-blooded son. If she wins
against our son then you may stay with us however long you need. If she loses then you must find elsewhere to
stay and leave our lands. Do you agree
girl?”
For the first time Lord Inu no Taishio noticed the little
child huddled close to her human mother.
She had long curly hair the color of rubies that was pulled back into a
hasty bun so as to keep it out of her face.
She looked up and he saw that her eyes were the color of emeralds. She had an oval face and perfectly shaped
lips even for a child. He knew that when
she was older that male youkai and male humans alike would clamor for her
affections. He looked into her eyes and saw a determination so strong in there
that he knew she would accept his Lady’s demands.
“I will accept.” Inu
no Taishio shook his head. Surely this
girl knew that she didn’t stand a chance against his son and that she would be
beaten senseless, but he could do nothing to help her for she had acquiesced
before he could intervene. This would be
interesting to say the least.
“Sesshomaru, show this half-breed her place.” The Lady said to the small boy who could have
only been 9 or 10 years old, about the same age as the little girl. The young boy walked down the stair case that
led to the thrones of his mother and father.
He stepped into a sparring circle that was used when someone tried to
challenge the power of another. These
battles were usually to the death but this would not be.
The little girl rose from her position and walked into the
circle. “What is your name girl?” Lord Inu no Taishio asked.
“Rose,” was all the girl said as she bowed and stood to
fight Sesshomaru.
“BEGIN.” The Lady shouted.
Sesshomaru allowed his poison to come into his claws. He had just learned from his mother on how to
use the poison as well as the poison whip he could now call at will. He didn’t want to kill the girl but instead
knock her out. He lunged at her and she
side stepped him delivering a blow to his abdomen. He rolled and landed on his knee. He looked at the girl and saw the same
ferocious determination his father had seen.
This girl was going to do whatever she had to, to help her family.
Sesshomaru was in awe of such determination from a hanyou. He got up and circled the girl calmly. She never let her back to him and him never
to her. They had already been well
trained to battle. He made for another
lunge at her. His claws found purchase
into her upper right arm but he failed to notice that she had grabbed him. He felt himself being thrown but did not
register it quick enough to react. He
was thrown from the circle and had lost to a hanyou.
The little girl held her arm and grimaced as she felt the
poison spread through her veins. She
huffed heavily as she heard the wails of the Lady of the West. “You cheated.
You have not won. You didn’t
defeat him.”
The little girl named Rose looked at the Lady and said
emotionlessly, “You never specified how I had to win just that I had to.” The
little girl jerked in surprise as she heard the roaring laughter of the Lord of
the Western Lands.
“Marvelous. You
certainly are quick-witted Princess Rose.
You and your family are welcome to stay here within my home as specified
by my Lady. Marianne,” a vixen youkai
appeared and bowed.
“Yes milord.” She
said quickly.
“Show them to their rooms and give them whatever they
ask.” Inu no Taishio said as he
suppressed another round of laughter. He
knew that if the girl had not thrown his son, Sesshomaru would have won. He would not punish his son for being bested
by the hanyou girl. The loss would be
punishment enough and Sesshomaru would learn to become quicker in thought of
all the possible attacks his opponent could use.
Inu no Taishio smiled as the very relieved family left to
tend to Rose’s wound and get settled into their new home.
