“Do I have to go?” InuYasha whined.
“There will be some important diplomats there. Yes, you must make an appearance. You are Lord InuYasha and my mate, you have to make an appearance,” Sesshoumaru replied as patiently as he could. His mate frowned at his own reflected image in the mirror.
“But…”
“But?”
“…I don’t like being seen, like this. I’m…I’m fat.”
“You’re not. You’re pregnant and showing, that’s all.” The Hanyou grumbled some complaint about diplomats and fancy dinners, fixing his kimono top. “And you look amazing, by the way,” Sesshoumaru tried to reassure him. InuYasha rolled his eyes.
“Whatever, let’s get this over with, okay?” Sesshoumaru nodded, silently thankful that his mate was going along without too much of a fight. The two of them left and headed down to the dining hall. Atsushi was already there, chatting with some of the other local lords, who were just too intimidated to be offended by his loose manner and sometimes insulting jokes. He stood as the Lords of the West came in, walking over to them. With a grin, he took each of their hands, Sesshoumaru’s then InuYasha’s, and kissed them.
“My Lords, thank you for having us,” he murmured. His eyes flitted up and down the younger’s form. “May I say, InuYasha, you look stunning, tonight…”
“Shut up,” the Hanyou growled. “I don’t need you rubbing it in my face that I’m fat.”
“I was being sincere,” Atsushi assured him with a smile.
“In that case, watch how you’re staring,” Sesshoumaru muttered, his arm slinking possessively around his younger brother’s waist. The Lord of the South chuckled and returned to his seat, grinning.
“Can’t win with a couple of uptight newly-wedded lords, can you?” he muttered in mock sorrow. Sesshoumaru and InuYasha took their seats at the table.
“Welcome. Thank you all for coming,” Sesshoumaru greeted the others present. “Please, enjoy the meal, and we shall conduct business afterwards.”
“Congratulations on your pup,” one man commented, forcing a smile at InuYasha, who blatantly glared back.
“Thank you, Lord Rei,” the older demon replied, his hand coming to rest on his mate’s knee, rubbing soothingly. The Hanyou inched closer to his older brother, wishing he could hide behind the demon lord. He hated feeling like he was on display, especially now that he was pretty obviously showing.
“Sessh…I really don’t feel like eating,” he whispered, squirming uncomfortably. The InuYoukai sighed.
“Try to eat a little at least – you have to keep up your strength for the pup.” Pouting, the half-demon put some food on his plate and began to eat.
“So, Lord InuYasha, how is the pregnancy treating you?” a female demon asked with a smile. “My first pregnancy was just awful.”
“It’s fine,” he replied tersely.
“Do you have morning sickness?”
“Just a little in the beginning. I’m fine, now.”
“That’s lucky. I had horrible morning sickness all through my pregnancy – my poor Daichi was up every morning taking care of me as I heaved out the previous night’s dinner into the chamber pot.”
“That sounds awful.”
“It was. Just terrible.” She shook her head. “I’m Kyoko, by the way. My husband couldn’t make it, unfortunately, so I came in his stead.”
“I envy your husband.” The woman chuckled softly.
“It does take getting used to, doesn’t it? Before I met Daichi, I was a commoner, and orphan…I never attended these sorts of things, but when I mated Daichi, I had to learn how to dress nicely and talk nicely and walk nicely and eat nicely…it took me a little over a year to really start enjoying these things, but now…I don’t know, I think they’re kind of nice. And the talk can be really interesting, if you have an ear for these political undertones.”
“All I hear are a bunch of old guys being nice to people they hate. Seems pretty stupid to me,” InuYasha grumbled. Kyoko laughed and shook her head.
“That’s how I saw it at first. Give it time. Besides, I doubt there’s too much you can enjoy while you’re pregnant, like that.” InuYasha put his hand over his stomach, frowning.
“What do you mean by that?”
“Well, no doubt your back hurts, and your moods are all over the place…it’s not exactly comfortable.”
“I enjoy plenty of things – just not stupid, boring, deceptive things like these. I mean, everyone’s here pretending they like each other when really they want to tear each other’s throats out. It’s so fake.”
“It’s just politics.”
“Well, it’s stupid. I mean, most of these guys hates my guts, and yet, here they are smiling and congratulating me as if they didn’t want to tear my innards out just for getting within ten miles of their precious Lord Sesshoumaru. The rest of them wish Sessh and I would kill each other, so they could take his place. I don’t get where the ‘fun’ in that is.” Kyoto smiled.
“You’re a breath of fresh air, you know that?”
“Well, you don’t get much experience with fresh air, living the life of a noblewoman.”
“Some would say I get as much fresh air as I want. After all, I am entitled to just about anything I want.”
“Except to say what you really mean and roam wherever you want and stop worrying about politics and alliances. You can’t dress as comfortably as you want or speak how you want. You can’t punch the random diplomats that look down their noses at you…there’s a good deal that you might want that is just out of your reach, because of all their rules and standards and whatever.”
“That’s how I felt, at first, but honestly…I love my life, now. I mean, I can eat what I want and I have nice clothes. I never go hungry. I don’t have to worry about getting killed every time I stop wandering – I’m sure you know the feeling even better than I do.”
“Yeah, but still…I wouldn’t mind…living out in the wilderness, again. Honestly, I adopted this lifestyle because Sessh can just walk away from his duties. In an ideal world, we could just be the two of us, living out in the wilderness, fighting for our own, not having to worry about politics or wars or alliances or anything like that.”
“Well, it’s very kind of you to accommodate him, like that.”
“I take what I can get; you know? I’d rather live in this life with him than in that life without him.” InuYasha stopped talking, surprised that he had said that out loud. “Well, something like that, anyways,” he mumbled at last.
“Wow, you two are really lucky to have each other. It must have been nice, growing up with a brother that cared for you so much.” InuYasha almost choked on his next bite of food.
“Well…we had a rough start, you could say. For a long time we weren’t quite on speaking terms, you know?”
“I suppose that makes sense. Lord Sesshoumaru’s hatred for humans has earned him quite a reputation. Then again, he doesn’t seem to like demons, as a whole, much better.” InuYasha tilted his head curiously.
“What do you mean?”
“Well, everyone says he especially hated humans, I personally believe he is disdainful and looks down on everyone. He sees humans as weak and pathetic, but for him, the vast majority of demons fall under that fold as well. I have never seen him hesitate to kill someone – human or demon – that gets in his way, nor does he seem to have an abundance of respect for anyone, regardless of race, power, and position. I suppose he can afford that sort of mentality, because he is the Great Dog Demon, Lord of the West. I mean…there aren’t many who could best him in a fight, and it would seem that for the most part, those who can have allied themselves with him on nearly unconditional terms.” She cast a significant glance at Atsushi.
InuYasha nodded, and they lapsed into silence for the rest of dinner. Afterwards, he stood to wish her goodnight as she went to her room. She offered him a bow.
“Thank you for your hospitality – it was nice talking to you, Lord InuYasha,” she murmured before leaving. He felt an arm slip around his waist from behind and a pair of lips brush against his ear.
“Did you make a friend?” Sesshoumaru asked, his thumb idly rubbing circles into the swell of his mate’s stomach.
“…Not sure. She seemed to think we had a lot in common, but I don’t think so.”
“Lady Kyoko was probably just excited to have met another born and bred commoner. She wasn’t bothering you, was she?”
“No, not really. We just talked a lot. I just think we have a lot less in common than she assumed, you know?”
“Well, my InuYasha doesn’t have too much in common with anyone – that’s one of the things that makes him special.”
“Flattery will get you nowhere.”
“Is that so? Too bad. Anyways, go on to bed without me, if you want. I’ve got some negotiations to take care of, here.”
“I’ll be in the garden – I’m not sleepy, just yet.”
“Alright.” Sesshoumaru turned to leave but InuYasha caught his arm.
“Hey, these guys will be out of this place by the time the new moon rolls around, right?”
“Absolutely. I’ll kick them all out long before then. I don’t think I could stand to have them around for more than a week, anyways.”
“Good. Just checking. Sometimes these things take forever.”
“No need to worry, this one should be fairly quick – no complications…I hope.” Sesshoumaru leaned in and kissed him quickly. “Goodnight.” Flushing slightly, the Hanyou turned and walked off, muttering a “goodnight” under his breath.
