Chapter 17: Kaori�s Lie
Naraku quietly kneeled in front of his father after taking Kaori
to the healing wing. He thought that it would be better that she went there
instead of having a healer come to his room. First of all, it just wouldn�t
have looked proper since Kaori was unmated. And secondly, he really wasn�t in
the mood to explain why she was in his room to begin with.
The half-demon gazed into familiar
crimson orbs. They were similar in looks, but Naraku had far more hair and
height. And an evil streak a mile wide.
Gazing at his father, Naraku every so often would wonder about his mother, owing
to the fact the he was a half-demon and an only youngling. His father never
mentioned her or how she died�if she died�or if she�d left him after he was
hatched. Many thoughts of this nature whirled about Naraku�s
head now as he thought of his own upcoming fatherhood.
Not that he would be a terrible
father, no, he just probably wouldn�t be a good one. Naraku
had plans
that didn�t involve children, or mates. He wanted the Shikon
Jewel. He wanted to be a full demon, with great power to be revered.
And the only way to get that type
of respect was to make sure that he got his information from the one who
carefully guarded the jewel�s whereabouts�Toga�s mate, Princess Izayoi. But a secret of that magnitude would not be given
up so lightly.
Sighing, Naraku
did figure that by telling his father that he was the sire of Kaori�s youngling, then
he would be able to get close enough to Izayoi to
learn the location of the jewel.
�I�m glad that you were able to
come here on such short notice, my son,� Muso said,
happy to be reunited with his only offspring.
�I do what I must, Father.�
�I�m going to get to the heart of
the matter, Naraku. Kaori has shamed our lord by
lying about the father of the youngling she carries. Since you are with her for
the majority of the time, can you tell me who she has been keeping company with?� Muso asked his son.
This was going to be harder than
what Naraku thought; but swallowing his pride this
one time would not hurt him. �I must say with a heavy heart, Father, that I am the one
who planted that seed.�
oOoOoOo
Pacing back and forth in the hut,
Inuyasha was at a loss at what to do. He unconsciously chewed on one his claws, not really biting it
off�they were much too thick and tough for him to that�besides which, he still had baby
teeth that were not strong enough to accomplish that task. He had about
another fifty years before he could chew and bite through the toughest of
things, animal hide, and his own claws.
He worried because Sesshoumaru had
been forcibly removed by their father, leaving him alone and unprotected.
Inuyasha hoped that Sesshoumaru would be back by nightfall, or at the very latest the following day. Inuyasha just
knew that his father wanted Sesshoumaru home to spend some time with Kaori; and
it was tearing him apart. Did Sesshoumaru make Kaori feel like she was on top
of the world as he did after they rutted? Did Sesshoumaru cuddle with her in
the same way? Or did Sesshoumaru watch Kaori as
she slept during the night?
Choking on a sob, Inuyasha
wondered if Sesshoumaru placed his hands on Kaori�s expanding stomach; feeling
the movements of their pup.
Miroku and Kagome, along with Kikyo who was nursing
Kouga�s swollen eye and busted lip, were sitting with
Inuyasha; growing concerned with each passing moment. They prayed to their gods
that Sesshoumaru would return swiftly.
Inuyasha was becoming unhinged.
oOoOoOo
At this point and time in Sesshoumaru�s age,
his family knew they should be wary of his temper; as they could see by the acid
that dotted along the majestic inter-court of his father�s palace as he walked
to his appropriate sitting place.
The Western heir-apparent was not
pleased to say the least by being spirited away from his mate. His father had
no right whatsoever to do such a thing�especially with that hentai
monk and foul-smelling wolf lurking about his vulnerable mate. There was no telling
what type of lies they were whispering into Inuyasha�s ear to lure his young mate to either one of
their beds.
A cough called back his attention.
�I take it that there is an
extremely valid reason that you have brought me back home, Otoutsan?�
Sesshoumaru asked irritated. The gold of his eyes flickered with hints of
crimson.
His father said nothing as another
door was opened and Naraku entered.
Immediately, Sesshoumaru was on
his feet with a hand on the hilt of his sword. He growled low in his throat as
a warning for Naraku to keep his distance.
Naraku maintained a fairly good space away from the inuyoukai as was
proper to do so. He was in the presence of his
lord�s brother, son and heir. As much as Naraku
hated to do so, he bowed to show his respect.
Then Kaori was practically dragged
into the chamber by her father. Gorai made her kneel
next to Sesshoumaru, who sneered before scrunching his nose up. With each passing
day as the time of birth of the pup drew near, Kaori�s scent was
becoming
more and more offensive to him. The others might not be bothered by
the unpleasant smell, but his stomach twisted in agony by the stench.
Toga watched his son become defensive
and repulsed at the same time when Naraku and Kaori
joined them.
�I think we all know why are
here,� Toga said out loud for his family and the members of his counsel to
hear. �It had been brought to my attention that, from this recent mating season my niece, Kaori, has been pupped.�
Applause sounded in the court
as whispers roared through the chamber.
�However, I would like it to be
documented that my oldest son and heir, Sesshoumaru, is not the sire.�
�My lord, for the past three
seasons, Lord Sesshoumaru has rutted with Lady Kaori. How he could not be
the sire?� one of the members asked curiously.
�My son has rutted with plenty of bitches
over these pass three seasons and five decades, with no result of any of them being pupped.
However, because Kaori was still in her heat and gave off the scent of an
unmated female, she knowingly and willingly lured another male to rut with her. And to ensure a
conception,
she was given a fertility potion.�
The counsel members murmured among
each other, some
negatively shaking their heads, others with tight thinned lips at being led to
believe that their future lord had sired a pup.
Standing to walk around the
chamber, Toga paced with his hands behind his back. �My fellow clan members, it
had been foretold after Sesshoumaru was born, that he would mate and bear his own pups by one that was
not a female.�
�My lord, are you saying�
suggesting that Lord Sesshoumaru�s mate is a male?� another advisor sputtered.
Another round of murmuring fanned about over this revelation�..none of the counsel had been informed of
this!
�Hai. Two moons ago,
Sesshoumaru had successfully rutted and claimed his mate,� Toga announced
proudly. But
there was sadness to his kind and gentle amber eyes.
�Then where is he, my lord?� the
eldest of the members asked, eager to meet Lord Sesshoumaru�s consort. �He must be
brought forth immediately in order to hold a bonding ceremony.�
�Due to some unfortunate events,
my son�s mate is recovering from a miscarriage and will return once he has gained
enough strength to travel,� Toga explained, going to sit back in his chair.
�My lord, with all due respect,
may we inquire as to the name of this male?�
Smiling for all he was worth, Toga
said in a loud and clear voice, �Inuyasha.�
oOoOoOo
For whatever higher beings
there were in charge of Fate, Naraku was thanking
them. He,
by their grace, did not have to mate to Kaori, yet, and his name was not
mentioned as
being the sire of her child. But he knew that it was only a matter of time
before people starting piecing together the origins of the child, once it was born.
Kaori was fortunate also. She didn�t get banished from the Southern
Lands, but was told by her father that she would have to mate the one who pupped her. He was absolutely
furious with her for holding onto the lie of Sesshoumaru being the sire.
Nor did Naraku
care; he would mate Kaori when the time came, but until then, he would act accordingly and keep to his
original plans of finding the Shikon jewel.
oOoOoOo
Days had gone by in slow motion
for Inuyasha,
as he rarely left his hut and was constantly sleeping for the majority of the waking
hours, when he was normally productive and highly active. Kouga
and Miroku were a bit concerned as well when they had
asked for Inuyasha to join them and the twins for a day from chores and every
day living.
But the young hanyou
declined,
stating that he wasn�t feeling all that well and to come back later.
�I�m telling you, that this has
something to with Sesshoumaru not being here,� Miroku
admitted out loud to the group of friends as they sat by the edge of the
crystal clear blue pool of water.
They were supposed to be swimming and
having fun, splashing about in the sun warmed liquid, but their minds wouldn�t
allow them the luxury for a day of play as it was centered on Inuyasha. They
cared very deeply for the inu-mixed youkai, even though Inuyasha was
a half century older than them; he was still around their age in human terms.
�Kagome, are you, Kaede, or Kikyo
aware of why Inuyasha is here in the village to begin with?� Miroku asked cryptically. He didn�t want to betray
Inuyasha�s trust in him, but they at least should know a little about what had been going on with him.
Taking a deep breath of air and
slowly releasing it, Kagome stared at her twin. Kikyo
was older but Kagome was more out spoken than her older sister. Kikyo wouldn�t talk unless it was of great importance.
�We discussed many possibilities
of why Inuyasha is here, but with each answer it was sounding more ridiculous the
more we talked. Then we decided to wait for Inuyasha to come speak with us, but he�s
yet to do so,� Kagome concluded.
�Yeah, what�s with, �I am
Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha�s Alpha. And you, wolf, have
challenged me for him�� What the hell was
that all about?� Kouga asked.
�Well, Prince Kouga, you managed
to insult not only Inuyasha by touching him inappropriately, but you also angered Inuyasha�s Alpha,� Miroku explained as best as he could, but he knew he was failing miserably.
�What? Are you saying that Mutt-face and that overgrown
pompous ass brother of his are mated?� Kouga stated,
shocked at the revelation.
�No, that�s impossible. I mean, how could they? They�re
brothers,� Kagome gasped out. She�d held a
crush on the hanyou for so long.
�There are a lot of things you don�t know about youkai, one
being that we can inter-mate. By doing that,
we preserve our blood-line, and keep it
strong. Canine youkai, tend to mate with siblings. Did you know that Inu no Taisho is mated to his sister?� Kouga
calmly explained. �Even my parents are brother and sister.�
Kagome looked about ready to faint. And Kikyo
held a pensive pose as her nose slight scrunched up in repulsion.
�Not to be the bearer of bad news but, Inuyasha�s father would have never allowed anyone outside of
their family to mate with him,� Kouga said.
�And why is that?� Kagome inquired.
�Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru are treasures of the West�royal Shiroi inu heirs�especially
Sesshoumaru for the simple reason he�s a pure-blood.
That fact alone is enough for other inus to want
to mate their daughters off to him. Just think� he�s the future lord of the
Western Lands, and probably would be in
possession of the Swords of the Honorable ruler, his father, Inu no Taisho. Sesshoumaru will command a good sized portion of this
continent once Lord Toga passes,� Kouga further
detailed.
�And what about Inuyasha? How does
he fit into all this, and what does he have
to do with him mating his own brother?� Kagome asked. It was clear to all of
them that this small piece of information troubled her greatly.
�Ah, Inuyasha�� Kouga smiled a bit. �Although he is not a pure-blood, he is
just as valuable as Sesshoumaru because he�s one of the few hanyous,
a male I might add, that can conceive.�
Gasps of shock echoed throughout
the group, but the only one who wasn�t surprised was Miroku.
The twin priestesses turned to him.
�You knew?� Kikyo
asked.
�In a manner of speaking,� Miroku vaguely answered.
But Kouga
interrupted. �Oh, I get it!�
�Get what?� Kagome questioned, still not liking the
sound of Inuyasha being intimately involved with his brother.
�Sesshoumaru�s possessive streak� He pupped Inuyasha,� Kouga said, congratulating himself. �So,
when�s the pup due?� All eyes were on the monk, waiting to hear the future date of the blessed event.
Again Miroku
was saved from opening his mouth.
�There isn�t going to be a pup.�
The gathered friends peered up
into sad golden orbs.
�How long have you been there,
Inuyasha?� Kagome inquired, biting her bottom lip in guilt.
�Long enough; and Kouga�s right, my old man would not have allowed me to mate
to any one other than a family member. My father is the Lord of the West, the
wielder of the Sou�nga, Tenseiga,
and Tetsaiga. Those three reasons only are enough for
my father to have me mated off to Sesshoumaru,� Inuyasha explained flopping
down next to Miroku.
�But that still doesn�t explain
why you said that there�s not going to be a pup, Inuyasha,� Kouga
said this
time.
�I came here to my village to
heal� I lost the pup,� Inuyasha said with tears welling up in his tired golden
orbs.
None asked how, and it was silently
agreed that they didn�t want to know. Instead they gathered about their
half-demon friend and carried on as if nothing out of the ordinary had
happened. And for that, Inuyasha was grateful.
oOoOoOo
The white painted ceiling slowly
came into focus as yellow eyes rapidly blinked to adjust to the early morning
sunlight filling the bedchamber.
Kaori winced as she made an effort
to turn over,
but her expanding belly would only allow her to move so much. The harsh words
of her father came rushing back into her mind�
�How dare you shame our family but rutting with your
personal guard!�
�Father, please, I-I can explain,� Kaori cried.
��There is nothing
for you to explain. Naraku is a spider demon with no
defense mechanism against a bitch in heat! You trapped him and then you tried to
pass his spawn off as Sesshoumaru�s! I should kill you for this treachery,� Gorai yelled, highly upset with his daughter.
Sobbing uncontrollably, Kaori hugged her growing stomach to shield her pup from
her father�s anger.
�Kaori, why didn�t you just tell us from the very beginning
that after you rutted with Sesshoumaru, you rutted with Naraku?�
her mother asked as gently as she could. Emi knew that yelling like her mate
would not get
them anywhere.
�I-I didn�t realize that� I was still aroused and-and
Sesshoumaru left me. I didn�t know by-by being intimate with Naraku, it would leave me pupped.�
Sighing in exasperation, Gorai ran
a large claw hand over his face. �Well, there�s no changing the chain of events
that you have set into motion, Kaori. Toga will announce the day after tomorrow
your bethrothment to Naraku.�
�Nani?�
�You are going to mate your guard before you give birth. Be fortunate that I
don�t cast you into exile for this embarrassment. Furthermore, you are to stay
away from Sesshoumaru. He more than likely will kill you if he sees you,� Gorai said.
�Why? I don�t understand,� Kaori whined as a new fresh
batch of tears cascaded down her plump face.
�We may not be able to scent Naraku
on you, but
he can. And to him, it�s the scent of
dishonor. To Sesshoumaru, your death would restore that honor once again. He�s laid with you, and that makes him dangerous to you and your pup. And in
order for Sesshoumaru not to kill either one of you, you will mate with Naraku. But heed my warning, Kaori� do not go any where
near Sesshoumaru,� Gorai said, hoping his stupid daughter
would not
underestimate
the future lord of the West.
With
that piece of daunting news playing over and over in her mind Kaori had continued to weep into her
pillows, long into the night. And now, resigned
to her fate, she wept again because, in just a few days, hence, she would be mated to Naraku, and not Sesshoumaru.
oOoOoOo
Standing silently in the young
lord�s study, Ryura watched his charge with some slight amusement.
Sesshoumaru was literally wearing a hole in the floor as he paced back and
forth, fretting
over what would be the appropriate gift for his mate.
To Ryura,
it seemed that Sesshoumaru was about ready to pull his hair out. Maybe it was
time for him to help his young master.
�My lord?�
�Whatever it is, Ryura,
please leave it until later,� Sesshoumaru answered, not really paying
attention as he turned his focus on viewing the materials the tailor had left.
�I�m sorry, Sesshoumaru, but this
is important.�
The younger youkai glanced up at
the sound of his name. Ryura rarely used his name.
�Sire, I believe you are going
about this the wrong way.�
�What do you mean?� Sesshoumaru inquired, not really sure what
his guard was talking about.
�Your mate, sire. Inuyasha is not
one for extravagant luxuries. His tastes are simple. The kimonos will be fine,
but not there. Think of what he would need there, not here, my lord,� Ryura offered.
�What his needs are, there��
Sesshoumaru whispered to himself. Then,
ignoring the materials, he set off in search
of Izayoi. He needed a favor from her.
oOo TBC oOo
A/N: How was that? I know it took
a while getting this together, but my muses were hounding me about working on �Worlds Apart�.
So, does anyone have an idea about
how Sesshoumaru is going to woo his mate? And what about
Kaori? Think she�s going to interfere? Don�t know? Well, stay turned for
the next chapter.
