Conclusions
I don't own the characters or title from InuYasha -I don't make any money from this either
This is a continuation of the Series - part 4 after Theories
Speculation in the demon world was that the great and powerful Lord Sesshomaru had gone soft in taking a human for a mate. It would only be a matter of time before that would be put to the test, either by rivals for his position or Naraku would put an end to him. Sesshomaru had expected there would be opposition to his choice of mate, and when the time came, he would take appropriate action.
The honeymoon period only lasted a few months when the first challenger to Lord Sesshomaru's station as Lord of the Western Lands came forward. His cousin, his father's brother's youngest son was the first to challenge. "You have disgraced our family name; you have insulted the clan and all InuDemons. You are not fit to be Lord." The proverbial gauntlet had been thrown down and Sesshomaru was quick to pick it up.
He had known this cousin as children, trained together at the castle. This upstart had always been jealous of Sesshomaru and now, he wanted Sesshomaru's title. Well, family or not, this was a challenge and all challenges were to the death. There were no formal rules for challenges in the demon world, once a challenge was issued, the fight began. Sesshomaru merely took out Tokijin and cut his cousin down. End of challenge.
It took a dozen similar challengers making the same foolish mistake before everyone realized that Sesshomaru not only hadn't 'gone soft' but was just as powerful and just as ruthless, if not moreso. Taking a human mate was probably the best thing that Lord Sesshomaru had done in maintaining his rank and station. The challenges
stopped and again, proper respect was being given to the InuDemon Lord.
As for his human mate, he wasn't being too well received outside the castle walls by the demon world either. Miroku had used that wind tunnel in his hand to defeat many demons along the way in his quest to find and defeat Naraku. That didn't stop after the mating ceremony and Sesshomaru didn't try to curb his mate's ability to use that cursed thing either. One used what one had in battle, and if the wind tunnel worked, then he used
it
Miroku had his share of run-ins with demons too, but his were a bit more precarious with the InuDemons. He had no qualms about using the wind tunnel on demons, but now he was married to the Lord of the Western Lands, and the head InuDemon in all of Japan. That put a whole different spin on things. Did he use the wind tunnel on InuDemons or not, would Sesshomaru be upset if he did?
That question got put to the test one lazy autumn afternoon when Miroku was out collecting leaves with Rin. Sesshomaru was away on business and the two humans were out alone in the forest. Suddenly a group of three InuDemons attacked them. One tried to grab Rin as the others charged toward Miroku. Rin ran from her attacker toward Ah-Un who was grazing nearby. She stumbled, screamed and fell. Miroku dodged his attackers and just before the third grabbed Rin, Miroku uncovered his wind tunnel and sucked the offender into his hand. The other two tried to grab Miroku's hand to stop him from doing any more harm when a flash of flame burned them from behind. The two-headed dragon, Ah-Un, had heard the screams, stopped grazing and came flying to the rescue.
Miroku ran to Rin, who was just getting up. She was unharmed, just shaken. They both collected the specimens they already had, mounted Ah-Un and returned to the castle. Once home, they reported what happened to Jaken who was most upset, more that Miroku used his wind tunnel on InuDemons than on the attack itself. He just knew that Lord Sesshomaru would be even more upset.
That night, when Sesshomaru returned to the castle, the report was given of the day's events. Of course, Jaken's spin on it made it sound like Miroku just sucked the poor InuDemon in without just cause. Rin's version, naturally, was what really happened. Sesshomaru was duly upset, but not because Miroku used his wind tunnel but because
his mate and his 'ward' were in danger. By now, Sesshomaru knew that any accounts of events would be tainted by Jaken's dislike for the humans, but even this was below that toad. It was time this matter was laid to rest.
"Jaken, for the last time, you will start respecting my mate and my..." He hesitated for a split second. What was he going to call Rin? He always thought of her as his' ward', but she thought of Miroku and him as her fathers and even had started calling them such. He never corrected her. Well, it was time to make the decision. "daughter."
Jaken fainted. Rin clapped and grinned from ear to ear. Sesshomaru just called her his daughter. After almost two years together, he finally thought of her as his daughter. She was so happy.
Jaken finally came to when Sesshomaru poured a pitcher of water over his head. "Now, there will be no more of this. Respect my family or you may leave my employ."
"Yyyyes, Milord." was all he could say as he bent over as far as he could in supplication.
"Good, now go get Lord Miroku, I need to see him. And take Lady Rin to her room. It's time for bed." He turned to the little dark-haired girl who was still grinning from ear to ear.Thinking that she was smiling from his admonishment of Jaken he told her to "wipe that smile off your face. Now off to bed."
Rin, tried her best to not smile, but it was hard. She ran over, gave her 'father' a hug and trotted off to her bedroom."Come on Master Jaken, it's bedtime. I want you to read me a story."
The little toad demon was not happy, but he sighed and followed the little girl out the door. There was no need to get Miroku because he was coming down the hall as they were leaving the room, but Jaken did state "Milord wants to see you, Sir."
Miroku nodded and went to Sesshomaru's study. Once inside, he closed the door and stood at attention on the opposite side of Sesshomaru's desk. He noticed the wet spot on the floor, unsure how it got there but decided to let it go for now. " You wanted to see me Sesshomaru?" Miroku was visibly shaking and his voice had a sound of panic in it.
The day's events were weighing heavy on his mind now. Would Sesshomar be upset that he used the wind tunnel to kill an InuDemon? What would his reaction be?
Sesshomaru looked up from his paperwork to see Miroku and thought his mate was going to keel over. He got up, walked around the desk and grabbed Miroku firmly, but gently, but the upper arms and led him to a nearby chair to sit him down. He then knelt beside his mate. "Are you injured? Did you not tell Jaken of an injury you sustained today in the fight with those Inu?"
Miroku just stared at Sesshomaru. So Jaken told him of the fight, but did Jaken tell him everything? "No, I wasn't hurt. But... did Jaken tell you that I...I...I.." How could he say that he used his wind tunnel on clan members?
"Tell me what, that you used the wind tunnel to save Rin? Is that what you are afraid to tell me?"
Could Sesshomaru read my mind? Did he know that was what was bothering me about what happened? "Hai. I did use the wind tunnel. Rin had fallen and I was too far from her to do anything else so I... I... just didn't ..." Sesshomaru cut him off.
" When in battle, we use what we have. In your case, you use the wind tunnel. It is part of you." He took Miroku's face in his hand and made sure his mate was staring directing into his eyes. "If you hadn't used that, Rin might be hurt or dead. You might also be hurt or dead. Ah-Un would not have gotten there in time to save both of you.
You did exactly what you needed to do. So calm down. I am not upset. It matters not if the attackers were Inu or not, attackers are attackers."
Miroku let out a breath he didn't know he had been holding and all the tension of the day, and stress of waiting for Sesshomaru to come home to the news of the day floated away like sakura petals in the spring wind.
They had never really talked in detail about his wind tunnel and when Sesshomaru wanted or didn't want him to use it. It never occured to him that it was necessary, but perhaps now it was. "You use the wind tunnel to fight in your battles as necessary. It is part of you, it is your weapon, like my energy whip is part of me." He was very matter of fact about this. Then, in a total turn, and unexpectedly he added, " However, I only have one unbreakable rule that you will never use that wind tunnel to interfere with my battles. I fight my own fights.. If you interfere in that way with my fights, I will kill you."
That started an argument that lasted for hours, Miroku being brought to tears at one point. What if it came down to Naraku vs Sesshomaru and Naraku was winning? What if Sesshomaru was near death and the only way out or to save him was for Miroku to use the wind tunnel to finally suck Naraku into it? The ultimate battle had to be bringing Naraku down, defeating him at all costs. The answer was always the same: "You will never use that wind tunnel to interfere with my battles. If you do I will kill you." Exhausted and on the verge of collapse, Miroku knew he could not sway Sesshomaru's mind and finally, albeit reluctantly, agreed. He would never use his wind tunnel to save Sesshomaru in a fight.
That was the only real argument the two had had in their entire married life, and Sesshomaru won. Then again, was there ever any doubt he would? Of course, to make up for having his mate in tears- terrified that some day he would be put in that particular position and be totally helpless- Sesshomaru had to do the only thing that he knew would
appease Miroku...a long night of terrific makeup sex.
Boy was that night something else. (No, you won't get to know all the glorious details. Just know that Miroku and Sesshomaru slept all the next day into the next evening before getting up to eat dinner).
