Kyoko sprinted through the field, dragging her pitiful mate behind her. As pathetic as he was, she still loved him and was not about to lose him without a fight. She stopped by the edge of the forest and drew him into a searing kiss.
“Go now,” she whispered, breaking. His eyes met hers uncertainly.
“What are you saying?”
“I’m saying go. Beyond that forest is the boundary to the Eastern Lands. You will be safe there, but we…we can never make it before they catch us.” He grabbed her arms, shaking his head vigorously.
“No! Ever…ever since I met you…you’ve been taking care of me, sacrificing everything for me. I can’t watch as you do this. They will kill you.” She kissed him, again.
“I got us into this. You don’t have to pay the price as well.” Tears welled up in his eyes and he continued to shake his head.
“H-how am I supposed to live without you?”
“Because you’ll never be without me. I already promised you that. But I…I can’t live with myself…if I let you suffer the consequences of my actions. I may be a lying, scheming, heartless scum, but I have some sense of honor – and I still love you.” He choked down a sob and let his arms fall to his sides.
“I love you. I don’t…I don’t want you to die for me. Wh-what kind of life would that be? What kind of mate would I be, if I ran without you? You said we’d be together.” She removed a ring from her finger.
“This was my mother’s,” she began, lifting it up to eye level. She poured a bit of her Youkai into it and slid it onto his finger. “This way, we’ll always be together. Even when they kill me…this tiny part of my Youkai will live on…it will be enough to keep me always with you.” The she-demon gave his hand a squeeze. “Now, go. I am not requesting, anymore. I am telling you…you must. Don’t disappoint me. Be strong and run.”
“It is weakness to run, not strength!”
“Don’t be stupid. It takes strength to live, and that’s what you’re doing – living…by any means necessary.” She gave him a shove, and he ran off. Kyoko turned to face the two demons she knew would be coming for revenge. How stupid I was to think I could pull off something like that, she thought bitterly. How foolish…to actually think I could conquer the Great Dog Demon and the infamous InuYasha. Sesshoumaru was the first to arrive, a white blur, he grabbed her and pinned her to a tree, his lip curling in distaste. She disappeared in a cloud of purple smoke and appeared a ways away. I just have to buy him enough time…Daichi…I’m sorry for putting you through this. She took off running.
“Insolent whelp,” Sesshoumaru snarled under his breath, giving chase as Atsushi caught up to them. Within minutes they had her trapped and were circling her. She was weakening and wouldn’t hold out much longer. She dodged a flick of Sesshoumaru’s Light Whip. “Why fight?” he spat. “You’re going to die, anyways. Your palace has been razed, and it’s only a matter of time before we find that scumbag mate of yours.” Atsushi remained behind Kyoto, cutting off her escape but keeping his distance to give Sesshoumaru all the space he needed.
“You have no right to call him that.”
“He participated in that ridiculous plot to kidnap my mate, I have every right to call him anything I want.” She dodged another lash from the gold light streaming from the demon lord’s fingertips.
“He had nothing to do with it. I deceived him – why else do you think we were keeping InuYasha in such a nice room?”
“You’re lying. I can smell a lie.”
“Leave him alone. Please, I am begging you. I’m the one you want.”
“You have no idea what I want, you disgusting piece of filth.” Sesshoumaru launched forward, and before she could even scream, her throat was torn out, and she had fallen, lifeless, to the floor. The dog demon lifted his nose to find Daichi’s scent. Instead, he caught InuYasha’s. The Hanyou came into view through the trees. “What are you doing here?” Sesshoumaru demanded. “You should be at home-!”
“Don’t tell me what to do,” InuYasha cut in. “I came because you’ve chased them long enough. You’ve had enough blood to sate your revenge. Come home.”
“But-!”
“You promised! You said I’d never be lonely! Hold to that! You promised me, so come home, Sessh!” The demon lord hesitated, his eyes widening slightly. With a defeated sigh, he let his hands fall to his sides, flicking blood from his claws.
“Alright. I’ll come home, now.” InuYasha smiled and hugged him, resting his cheek on his older brother’s chest.
“Thank you, Aniki.”
“Atsushi…find Daichi and bring him to me.”
“Sessh-!”
“I’m not going to kill him…if you don’t want me to. But there must be some repercussion for what he’s done. Treason is a weighty crime.” Atsushi’s eyes flickered between the brothers, but then he nodded and jogged off. Sesshoumaru tilted InuYasha’s chin up so he could kiss him deeply. “Now I guess I should make up for lost time,” he whispered breathily. He picked up InuYasha and started to carry him away.
“H-hey…” the Hanyou grumbled. “I can walk.”
“Of course you can, but why should you have to walk when I can carry you?” the demon lord replied seriously. He took his mate to a little grove nearby and laid him down. “Now…let’s make sure my little mate isn’t too lonely,” he purred. InuYasha grinned and tugged his mate down for a kiss.
“See? Isn’t this better than tearing out throats and ripping open bellies?” he murmured into the demon lord’s mouth. Sesshoumaru nipped his lower lip playfully.
“A million times better,” he murmured. Grinning mischievously, he slipped his hand inside the half-demon’s kimono and haori.
“W-we’re not going home, first?” the half-demon asked. His older brother smirked and placed his lips against one, soft, furry ear.
“Anywhere with you is home, love, and besides…if it was so desperate you had to come find me, yourself, I’d say this matter needs immediate attention.” He drew his tongue out along the thin, soft, edge of the ear. The younger whimpered softly, his ear twitching under that doting caress. “Now, my beautiful mate, I’m going to make you feel so full and complete and loved…it will bring you to tears,” he hissed softly as he began to slid the red silk from his brother’s body. InuYasha shivered under his touch, his eyes fluttering shut, a soft whimper rising from his throat. And then the demon lord then went and made good on his promise all night long…
InuYasha awoke with his older brother’s scent filling his nose. He smiled lazily and nuzzled his face deeper into Sesshoumaru’s shoulder. Waking up like this was the best way to start the day.
“You awake?” the demon lord asked softly, his voice a soothing rumble in his chest. The younger didn’t reply for a long, long time. “Clearly not fully, at least.”
“I’m awake. I’m just…mmm…lazy. You worse me out, last night…and we only got a few hours of sleep.” Sesshoumaru grinned.
“I remember a time when you would’ve been far too embarrassed to say something like that. Funny, but as long ago as it seems, it actually hasn’t been more than a year, even. I don’t even feel like the same person, though. You’ve changed me so entirely. I’d been told…mating with someone changes your very soul but I didn’t believe it…until now…with you, I can see. You’ve become a part of me, and you’ve changed me at my core. You’ve made me a better man, ruler, lover…everything. You’ve made me stronger, you’ve broadened my mind…you’ve opened my heart. I always thought it was weakness…these types of feelings…I was so, so wrong.” He chuckled. “Sorry, I just…it amazes me…every time I think about it.”
“Hearing you say those types of things…Sessh…” He laughed, shaking his head. “We sound so sappy.” The demon lord was forced to agree. At length, the two of them stood and got dressed. The two of them headed back towards home, a full day’s journey if they walked.
“It’s been a while, since we’ve just been out…meandering, like this,” Sesshoumaru commented after a good few hours of silence. “I’d forgotten how peaceful it is.”
“Reminds me of those days in the beginning, before we killed Naraku. It’s funny, before you came, everyone was arguing and talking and laughing, but with you there, I think they were all too scared to say anything.”
“I have that affect on people.”
“What are you going to do…to Daichi?”
“I haven’t decided yet. Do you want me not to kill him?”
“Well, Kyoko lied to us and hurt us, but…but she gave her life for her mate…I think they really loved each other.”
“…I fail to see how that is relevant.”
“I mean, all she wanted…was for him to live. Her last breath was used to beg for his life…I think…we should honor that. I mean, hasn’t your hunger for vengeance been sated?”
“Then what about justice?”
“It’s not justice to kill them, the way you did. Because they were all demons, you had the right, by our laws, to deal with them however you saw fit, but it wasn’t justice. I don’t talk about politics much, but I know a thing or two about crime and punishment. I’m not mad at you really…for killing those people. I mean…they knew if they failed, that would be your reaction, and you did give the servants the option to flee. You had the right by demon law, but demon law isn’t about justice. The just thing to do, would have been to banish them – take away their titles, their land, everything they wanted to take from you.”
“So that’s what you want me to do to Daichi?”
“Yes.”
“But he’s…he’s already doing that to himself by running.”
“I know that, but if you do it, it’s justice. If he does it, it’s just running away. If you do it, you’re disgracing him, thus fulfilling the need for justice, in a political sense. If he runs away, he’s humiliating himself, but there’s no justice to it except the poetical justice of the universe.”
“When did you get to be such a deep thinker?” Sesshoumaru asked teasingly.
“Well, I have a lot of time to think when we’re in council meetings. It’s not like I understand what all of you guys are talking about, anyways.”
“You know…those kinds of ideas though…I mean, these kinds of ideas…they should be voiced. The fact is they’re far more insightful than you seem to think.”
“Slow down, now. I have no interest in getting involved in politics.”
“I didn’t mean that, but…you know, you can say these things…at the council meetings, if they occur to you. Or you can just tell me and I can say them, but they help…gain perspective. Honestly, you’re probably the only one in those meetings that doesn’t equate legality and justice. You don’t think the same way we do.”
“Well, go figure.” They lapsed into silence for the rest of the walk home. By the time they got back to the palace, Atsushi was waiting with Daichi. He grinned at them as they came in through the gates.
“What took you guys so long. I mean, I managed to chase this guy down, catch him, and drag him back here before you guys made it back.”
“We were enjoying ourselves,” Sesshoumaru explained.
“I trusted you’d want a council meeting for whatever punishment you have planned for Daichi. They’re waiting for you,” the war demon informed them. “What do you intend to do to him?” he asked.
“InuYasha and I decided to banish him and strip him of his titles and lands.” Atsushi lifted a brow but made no comment. “My mate thought it was more just to take from him what he wanted to take from us, rather than to kill him.”
“Bravo, Yasha, making these kinds of decisions. I applaud you.” The three of them made their way to the council room where everyone was waiting. Daichi was knelt on the floor, his hands chained behind him. His arm around InuYasha’s waist, Sesshoumaru made his way around to the front of the room, facing his unfortunate captive.
“Lord Daichi are you aware why you are here?” the InuYoukai asked loftily, gazing haughtily down at the other demon.
“I am,” Daichi whispered.
“Have you any words to say before your sentence is passed?”
“I have none.” He bowed his head. “Finish this.”
“You are banished, from this point forward, from the West. You shall have no land, no titles. You shall be allowed a day to make it beyond this border. Starting twenty-four hours from now, if you set one foot in this land, your life will be forfeit. Am I understood?” A murmur of shock ran around the council and Daichi’s eyes snapped up to his face.
“W-what? You-you’re not killing me?” the disgraced demon asked.
“Your mate spent her dying breath begging for you life. I have decided to honor her last wishes. Apologize to my mate and leave.” Daichi bowed his head to InuYasha.
“Thank you, My Lords, for sparing my life.” The Hanyou walked over to him and unchained him.
“You are lucky to have a mate who loved you so well. Try not to be too miserable in your new life.” Daichi stood.
“Th-thank you, Lord InuYasha. I apologize most humbly.” He bowed and disappeared in a cloud of red smoke.
“May I ask, Lord Sesshoumaru, why you let him live?” one of the councilmembers asked after a long moment of silence. Sesshoumaru’s gaze flitted over to him.
“I left the decision to InuYasha,” he replied. “He thought it was most fitting to let him live, and as he was the one affected by this act of treason, it was only proper for him to decide the punishment. His choice was a just one. Do you take issue with it?”
“Not at all, My Lord, I was merely…intrigued. It was not a typical decision, for you. Your show of mercy attests to your noble heart.” Sesshoumaru frowned slightly as he and InuYasha walked away.
“Keep an eye on him,” Sesshoumaru murmured. “He took more issue with the punishment than he was letting on.”
“How can you tell?”
“He praised it too much. He wouldn’t have brought it up in the first place, if he didn’t have some problem with it. He was…disdainful of it. I believe he saw it as a sign of weakness.”
“Was it?”
“No, it was a sign of strength. Come on to dinner, my love.” InuYasha leaned up to kiss his mate’s forehead, and the two of them walked off together.
