If there was one word he could use to describe the event, he'd choose elegant. Driving one of his vintage cars, Inuyasha handed off the keys with a warning to the vale. He helped Kiki out of her car seat and looked around at the multitude of nobles. He felt overtly insecure about his hanyou status and felt the eyes on him but he refused to let it show, he'd be damned to hell before his eyes met the ground. He held his daughter close as they made their way to the main doors where everyone was entering. Showing the invitation, the usher was shocked and stared at him for a very long time before finally sighing and leading them to a private area where the advisers were seated. He said nothing to them as their stared said enough, and sat Kiki next to him as they watched the nobles bustle about. "Daddy where Saisai?" She asked a bit sad.
"She'll be here soon. I'm sure they have to make a big announcement because she's the princess, kookie." He answered, hoping it was right. He didn't want to give his daughter false information.
A loud horn sounded to his right as the announcer announced the arrival of the King. Inuyasha watched as the elegant youki male stepped into the room. Suit crisp and white, with lilac undertones. He looked regal and well bred. Inuyasha swallowed at the sight of the attractive male. The crowd was silent as he announced his daughter. When the doors opened again, gasps were heard as the little princess was revealed. She looked completely uncomfortable and ready to cry when she saw the crowd. Her dress was white and her hair had grown a bit longer as the unusual curled locks caught everyone's attention. Inuyasha could see the tears welling up in her eyes as she sniffled. She hurried to hide behind her father but she tripped on the lace and just about face planted on the ground. No one besides a certain hanyou noticed the sigh on the lords lips. A servant moved to help the princess up but a puppy eared Inuyoukai child beat them to it. "Is Saisai okay?" She asked with a tilt of her head. Inuyasha had been so wrapped up in the king that he hadn't noticed when his daughter slipped away.
Sairiu's golden eyes widened and she hugged Kiki tightly, "Yay!" With her friend holding her hand, they made their way to the king who raised an eyebrow at the display. The two girls giggled at the stoic man and he suppressed an eye roll.
Sesshomaru finished his announcement with the girls holding hands by his side. He felt a slight tug on his hair and looked down at the tiny beings. "Long hair. Pretty. Like daddy's?" She assessed.
"Daddy there," She pointed at Inuyasha causing him to tense a bit when a large number of people looked in his direction. The two little girls gave Inuyasha wide smiles and enthusiastic waves that he felt compelled to return in a more tame manner. "Daddy funny." The bold child stated causing the king to look over at the well-dressed hanyou. The white and gold suited him well, it was much different than seeing the man in oil covered clothing.
"He cleans up well." Sesshomaru thought to himself. Said hanyou seemed to be watching the young girls as was everyone else. He looked down to the children once more. The child let go of his daughter's hand in favor of holding onto his leg and standing on his foot. She continued to tug on his clothing and babble to him in her broken speech. Inuyasha didn't know what to do. He'd heard of how cold and unforgiving the lord of the lands was and was feeling a bit anxious about his daughter being so casual to the powerful lord. The only thing that helped him relax remotely was when the princess began to do the same. It was pretty amusing to see the stoic lord walking around with two smiling little girls clinging to him and asking him questions that only children could think of. A servant had given each girl a cookie to keep them quiet while the lord spoke and greeted nobles before dinner was served.
Inuyasha stiffened when he noticed the lord heading in his direction, it was then that he noticed he'd been sat to the left of the lord with the girls in between them. The seat on his right remained empty as it was for his nonexistent mate. With the girls seated the meal commenced. Servants put special bibs on the two so they wouldn't ruin their clothing. Many watched in fascination as Kiki cleared her vegetables first before starting on everything else. Sairiu watched as well, then looked at her own vegetables before diving in. Sesshomaru was surprised, no matter what he did, or what punishments he could think of, the girl had refused to touch the green food. Yet here she was, eating quite happily. "Daddy she wan' more broccoli." Kiki stated when she was done.
"I want more broccoli. Politely." Inuyasha stated. He had no idea when she was going to stop speaking in the third person, it was cute but he could only wonder what the people at the school were doing wrong.
"Please?" She asked with a cute tilt of her head.
"Of course, sweetheart." He said, and a servant hurried to give her more. He'd have to remember to start speaking to her in her mother's tongue only, so she wouldn't lose the ability to speak with her relatives.
"Me too! Me too!" Sairiu chirped.
The girls ate their vegetables happily. Sesshomaru's eyes fell to the hanyou. "She eats well."
Inuyasha paused at being spoken to, "Yeah. I'm happy I don't have to worry about it."
"Sairiu is not the same. She is very selective and refuses to eat vegetables, usually." He stated as he watched his daughter fiddle with some of her food.
"Oh really?" Inuyasha looked at Sairiu picking at different foods on her plate. "Hey princess, you should ask Kiki why she eats so well."
Sairiu looked at Kiki questioningly. "Wanna be strong like Mommy!" She said after she swallowed. "Grandma said mommy a'ways ate vegables an' moved mountain! Daddy strong too. Daddy 'an lift a t'uck! Thhhhiiiiiiiiiiissssssssssssssss biiiiiiiiiiigggg" She stretched her arms out as wide as she could. "'cause it felled on un'c Kouga."
Inuyasha wasn't the only one amused by the little girl's antics. When dinner was over there was more socialization. Kiki hung back as Sesshomaru introduced Sairiu to more nobles and she received gifts. The little princess was bored however and wanted to play with Kiki. Sesshomaru noticed how every few moments his daughter would look at the area where her friend was seated and become a bit more antsy. When it was over he was approached by a noble from the north of his lands. "Hello your majesty. Allow me to introduce my son, Takeru." Sesshomaru looked at the young boy as he stared at his daughter who wasn't paying the two any attention. "Shall we allow the children to run off so we can speak?" The noble suggested. He set his daughter on her feet and she ran off with the boy trailing behind her. They made their way to where Kiki was and the three took off in another direction. Inuyasha had no intent on socializing with the nobles and never intended to. He sat on his phone speaking with his workers about orders, repairs, and general business things. He was here so his daughter could be there for her friend.
Elsewhere, Kiki and Sairiu were having a blast sneaking treats from the buffet table. They hid under the table cloth and laughed together happily. Kiki had given Sairiu her gift and the two looked to be related with their matching white hair, golden eyes, and white dresses. Several other children, aside from Takeru, had joined them. They sat watching the adults do funny and stupid things. A young boy had brought a flower to give to Kiki who merely tilted her head at the gesture. She accepted the flower and continued to play. The boy sat next to her and joined, his carrot orange hair was interesting and Kiki noted he smelled like a canine youki. "Wha'sa name?" She asked.
"What's your name?" Sairiu corrected for her when the boy looked confused.
"Shippo!" He smiled happily.
"Kiki!" Kiki beamed happily.
"Sairiu! Yay!" They all laughed and giggled happily.
Shippo did something and made another flower appear for Sairiu. He'd given them to all of the young girls in the room. He was a few years older than the young girls and said his goodbyes when his parents called for him. Waving happily while holding onto their fathers the best friends decided to continue exploring. They were stopped by a large woman. "Hello little princess. Let me introduce you to my son, Arashimaru."
Sairiu frowned.
"Why don't you children run off and play?" The lady smirked.
The young girls hadn't noticed but their group of children had grown. They all bombarded the young girls and separated them before beginning to pull Sairiu this way and that. Eventually, she fell and teared up. Kiki's face scrunched up in anger, she pushed a few children down and grabbed Sairiu's hand. "Father." Kiki whispered to her. The girls had a new mission, make it to the Lord Sesshomaru so he could scare the children away. They didn't want to play with them anymore and knew the king could help. They began making their way to him but Kiki was yanked back by none other than Takeru. "Le' go!" She was becoming quite annoyed and while the adults found it amusing, Kiki was becoming even more upset. Another kid came and began pulling on her other arm and it was going unnoticed by her own father but not by the other inuyouki.
Inuyasha was sitting quietly until he noticed the king staring at him from a distance. The youki's eyes flashed in a different direction until they returned to him and repeated the action. Inuyasha followed his eyes a noticed what was being ignored. A dark haired boy had his daughters hand and wouldn't let her go. The princess was trying to help Kiki but another kid came and pulled on her other arm. He could tell Kiki would explode at any moment because of how red she was becoming. Just like her mother when she was angry. The adults around noticed at laughed, calling it the antics of children.
Inuyasha made it just a tad too late, Kiki hit a child as hard as she could and pushed another to the ground on top of the one she hit. She broke into tears when she saw him. Hoisting her up she bawled loudly gaining the attention of all the nobles in the room. Hearing her friend crying caused tears to well up in Sairiu's eyes and she began crying just as loudly. Inuyasha sighed and picked her up as well causing shouts of outrage to be heard. Slurs about his hanyou status were thrown about but Inuyasha let them roll off of his shoulders. He wasn't going to sit and let the little girl cry. Guards were approaching quickly as the girls cried. They were holding on to him tightly and his heart began to race when there were guns and spears point at him. Inuyasha growled, "I am holding two crying little girls. The heck is wrong with you morons?" He was ready to lose it and the two cried louder because they were becoming frightened. He tried to calm his youkai so they would calm down as well but had no such luck until the king spoke.
"Stand down." The guards moved away quickly. Inuyasha sighed and bounced the girls lightly as the crowd watched. He hated being the center of attention and felt the hairs on the back of his neck raise when he felt the king come closer. They had never spoken much and he was still having a hard time processing the idea that his daughter was friends with the princess. "Continue your business." Sesshomaru said to the crowd with a glare. Inuyasha tried to hand the girl off to the king but she refused to let go. This is what led Inuyasha to the position he was in now. Standing and speaking one on one with the lord once more. The lord noticed the hanyou looked even better up close, his hair was taken care of and was no longer in that god awful pony tail that looked 2 weeks old and his face was clean, revealing honeyed skin that resulted from his human mother as inuyouki of the region tended to have pale skin. There was no doubt the hanyou was attractive but his hanyou status overshadowed his beauty, at least in the eyes of many. "It is unusual for her to be so comfortable with those she barely knows, and yet she clings to you for comfort." Sesshomaru said watching his daughter snuggle closer to the male.
"Kids just sort of come to me. I honestly think it's my ears though." Inuyasha tried to lighten the mood. The girls had stopped crying but it didn't change their mind about being held. They just started to play in his hair and make faces at one another. A servant gave the girls strawberries to make them feel better which gave Inuyasha leeway to set them down.
"Daddy here!" Kiki exclaimed, wanting him to crouch down. She planted a sticky, strawberry juice filled kiss on his cheek and skipped away with the princess.
Inuyasha laughed and stood. He made eye contact with the lord who was much closer than before. He flinched when the lord brought his hand up and whipped the strawberry juice that was beginning to threaten his white suit. "Oh um...thanks." The hanyou smiled awkwardly, heart racing a bit. When the lord moved away he let out a sigh and watched the lords retreating. "What the hell was that?" He muttered to himself before facepalming.
The night went on as everyone watched the antics of the girls in the matching lockets. They twirled each other around happily as the musicians played, and danced with their respective fathers, who stole fleeting glances of one another unconsciously. By midnight the two girls were out of sight and Inuyasha found them asleep under a table. Heaving both of the girls into his arms, who locked on tightly, a "I believe it is time for bed." Was heard behind him, making him jump as he hadn't sensed the youki's approach. Nodding, Inuyasha silently followed the lord with the girls shifting and making themselves more comfortable.
He was a bit surprised at the home of the lord and doubted very many people had seen it. The girls had woken up and Sairiu happily pulled Kiki to what Inuyasha assumed to be her room. Inuyasha wanted to vomit at how pink everything was. He had walked in to Sairiu forcing a nightgown like thing on his daughter. "Hey princess, I'm sorry but Kiki can't stay the night."
"Please?" He'd never seen another child's eyes get as big and hopeful as Kiki's usually did. What made it worse was when Kiki began to do the same. Inuyasha's eyebrows knit together at the onslaught, his youkai begging him to give in to the children.
He sighed, "If your father says it's okay." Inuyasha usually wouldn't ever allow his daughter to stay the night anywhere, unless it was with Kagome or Sango and Miroku, but he knew that because she was the princesses friend, she'd be protected very well from any harm." The little girls darted pass him and he followed them into an office where the lord sat behind his desk, staring at the two little girls.
"If Inuyasha allows it. I care not." Was the stoic statement.
"Yay!" Was the scream from the two. The girls once again ran past him with Kiki nearly falling because of her enclosed feet.
"Did they get you with the eyes too?" Inuyasha asked casually.
"Sairiu does well with her. She is a good influence." Sesshomaru answered as he went over paperwork.
"Yeah, Kiki talks about Sairiu nonstop. Not even taking a breath to do it." Inuyasha smiled in remembrance of when his daughter initially started rambling about the older girl.
"She is your only child?" Sesshomaru asked as he studied the face of the hanyou.
"Yes, it's hard enough raising one child as a single parent, I definitely would be passed out somewhere if she wasn't." Inuyasha snorted.
"Is that so?" Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow before heading over to the small dry bar for wine. "Would you like a glass?"
"Ah, sure." Inuyasha accepted. He was feeling a bit odd standing with the demon lord. Most people never received the opportunity to speak with the demon lord, let alone have a drink with him and who could reject a drink from the demon lord. They then became quite engaged in a conversation about their respective businesses. The lord had never had an opportunity to talk in detail about his own businesses as his kingly duties were much more interesting to most people. Sesshomaru began and held several pharmacies and hospitals across the country. He was a strong business man and a ruthless leader to his people. Since the former lord had been killed, he didn't have as much time as he would like to dedicate to the legacy he started on his own.
Eventually, the two rose and found their daughters asleep in the princesses bed with a few books scattered about. "This room looks terrible but she was comfortable enough to fall asleep. I might have to do this to her room to be honest."
"It was my assistant. I hate it." The lord stated, the youki wine relaxing him.
"Kiki's terrified of the dark. She can't sleep without her nightlight." Inuyasha explained as he examined his daughters sleeping face under the glow of the glow in the dark everything.
"There is a guestroom available for you for the night. It is late, you've been drinking, and I insist." Sesshomaru said in his deep even voice.
No one refused the king's hospitality. He nodded and was led by the lord to a guest room. The air became a bit tense as Inuyasha noticed the lord staring at him with calculating eyes. He opened his mouth to speak but shut it when the lord began once more. "I hadn't known there to be any other living shiro inu. From where do you hail?"
"Oh, um. I'm from here." Inuyasha stammered a bit, the wine hitting him a bit harder than the lord.
The lord approached with piercing eyes. "And your scent is so very familiar." The lord's lips were a hair's width from his own. He could feel his face flush dark with the force of his blush and his youki flare a bit at the proximity. The lord narrowed his eyes at the shorter hanyou male before retreating with a goodnight. When the lord arrived in his own bedroom he closed his eyes and sighed a breath he had not realized he'd been holding. The hanyou was far below his standards but his InuYouki blood called to him. He was an unmated beta male, a complicated status to have. They went into heat twice a year, once to be mated and again to mate others. The hanyou was close to one of them, he could scent it in his blood. He felt his blood begin to boil and his youkai hovering at the surface of his mind, given a little freedom with the wine. The scent of an unmated beta approaching heat would drive any alpha mad, but his scent was more intoxicating than that. Shaking it away he began to ready himself for bed.
Inuyasha had been frozen by the closeness as well. To have such a powerful youki so close to him was unreal. He didn't know whether he should fight, flee, or lay down in submission. He splashed water on his face before removing his suit and crawling under the blankets of the comfortable bed.
The lord woke the next morning and wandered to his daughter's room to check on the girls. The youngest pup was missing and he felt a small spark of panic enter his chest. He focused and followed her scent to the guestroom her father had been given. Opening the door, he couldn't help the small amused smile that laced his lips. The hanyou lay on his side with the young girl cradling his head. The small pup looked tinier as she curled into a ball as she cuddled as close to him as possible. The lord assumed she must've been anxious without the man near. The hanyou's eyes shot open a second later and he eyed the lord with caution. Sesshomaru could feel the rise of his youki and instincts and restrained his own from challenge.
"Good morning. I had wondered where she'd run off to." He stated averting his eyes.
Inuyasha blinked a few times and understood when he felt Kiki shift in her spot. Carefully maneuvering her to rest beside him he sat up. "We should get going."
The lord turned away from the hanyou, "Stay for breakfast. Allow Sairiu to say her goodbyes."
Inuyasha redressed, woke his daughter, and washed her face. She was a bit upset this morning and wouldn't allow him to set her down without having a fit. "Are you hungry?" He asked as he joined the lord and princess in the dining room. Kiki nodded her head on his shoulder.
He sat her in a booster seat in a chair next to the princess, "No!" She reached out to him and began to cry in her first language. "Daddy no!" Her face became a bit red as she cried.
"Kiki it's time to eat. Don't you think you're being rude to the lord and princess?" He asked from his own seat in her native tongue. She looked at Sairiu then and the King who merely met her stare but didn't calm down. She babbled at him in her mother's language. "Kiki…" She sniffled and hiccupped.
"Papa come back!" The tears really began to flow then. "Papa!" Her cries reached new octaves.
"Sorry about this." He apologized to the lord who continued to watch his daughter cry in his arms. Kiki calmed down after Inuyasha rocked her in his arms for a bit. She ate her breakfast quietly and not with the usually giddiness.
"Kiki okay?" Sairiu asked her friend. Kiki nodded and smiled at Sairiu from the comfort of her father's lap.
"What was that about?" The demon lord questioned.
"Kiki…" Inuyasha sighed, "She's not a hanyou like I am obviously. Her mom was full InuYouki, but she didn't get enough youki when she was first born. So her youki has a bit of trouble connecting with people sometimes. It scares her but the doctors said the problem will correct itself as she gets older and her youki grows. That's why she didn't want to be set down, she couldn't feel my youki and I felt far away."
"I've never heard of something like that happening to a child." The lord spoke softly.
Inuyasha stiffened a moment…the sorrow on his face evident. "It…only happens when there are problems when the child is being born…"
"Problems?" Sesshomaru inquired.
"Ah, sorry Lord Sesshomaru…I'm not really up to talking about it right now. It's…just, really personal."
"I understand. I did not mean to pry." Sesshomaru stated with a sip of tea. After breakfast Inuyasha packed Kiki's things as they prepared to depart. "Perhaps it would be beneficial to set up dates for them to see each other during the break after the parade."
"Play dates? I think they'd like that a lot. Do you want my number?" Inuyasha asked. The lord causally handed the hanyou his personal cell so that he could add his number to his phone. "Alright, we'll see you then."
The two were left the home of the lord leaving the lord and princess watching their backs. Sesshomaru looked down at the small pup who was holding on to his pants leg. "They are interesting, pup." Sairiu looked up at her father then back to the door and gave one curt nod.
When going in to work the following morning, the last thing Inuyasha expected to see was his face plastered all over the news. "So, how's the future lady of the west?" Kouga teased as the news made it seem like he and the lord were dating. They then showed the shop and began knocking. Inuyasha couldn't believe how quickly the situation deteriorated. He and his workers were hiding inside from all of the news vans and camera crews with the news still on. "Many have speculations that this hanyou is the birth parent of the young princess Sairiu. The princess has been seen seeking comfort from him before her own sire. Who is this hanyou male? Has our beloved lord Sesshomaru been hiding his hanyou lover from the public in embarrassment? We have Tom Filan with the story."
"Thank you Akira, I'm standing here outside of the mechanics shop with several other news crews, hoping to get a glance at the supposed lover and secret mate of our king. No one is answering the door and we haven't been able to get a word from anyone. We hope to follow up at the home of the hanyou and get to the bottom of this. Back to you Akira."
Inuyasha growled, luckily his daughter was with Miroku and Sango for the day. "I can't believe this is happening to me."
"Trusted sources say the hanyou retreated with the lord into his private quarters after the presentation of the princess, which brings up another question. Who is the hanyou child she was with all night? Witnesses say the girl smelled of no human blood and was wearing a matching locket with the princess Is the young girl our other princess? Children of the royal family are not required to be presented until their fifth year, she was obviously younger than the princess, who might she be? Many have seen her being quite casual with Lord Sesshomaru, going as far as tugging on his hair for attention, only the child of the lord might be able to get away with such a thing. Who is our mystery princess?"
Inuyasha turned the tv off. "I hope all you fuck-head's know that's bullshit right? I told you Kiki's her friend."
"Sure man, whatever helps you sleep at night." Bankotsu shrugged.
"Man this fucking sucks." Inuyasha pulled a hand through his stressed hair.
"If you and Kiki need a place to stay until this dies down, Ayame and I don't mind." Kouga offered.
"Thanks man, they're literally hunting for me." He paused, hoping his daughter was okay with his friends. The two had been continuously babysitting her at different stages to prepare for their own children. They'd been talking about having another child when their baby was 4 years old and wanted to see how stressful it would be. Kiki was their worst case scenario, she was highly energetic and overly curious about the world around her and tended to wander off and find trouble in the most unexpected of places. He wasn't too worried about them losing her because she knew how to track them down herself but it pissed him off a bit at the thought.
Sitting at the desk of his sparsely used office the knocking finally died down but the noise from the people became much louder. Peeking out of the window he could see several guards from the castle, forcibly removing the news crews. "This is by order of the king. Should you continue harassing citizens you will all be tried for criminal offenses including stalking, trespassing, harassment, defacement, and emotional harm and damages. All punishable by death." The head guard stated. That really got the people moving. Inuyasha had never seen people disburse so quickly. A moment later his phone began ringing.
"Ah, hello?" He answered cautiously.
"Are you alright." A deep voice asked coolly.
"Y-yeah, that was a bit overwhelming." Inuyasha sighed.
"Is Kiki? Wanna talk! Wanna talk! Wanna taaalk!" Inuyasha heard Sairiu whine in the background.
"Sairiu would like to speak to Kiki, if that is alright." Sesshomaru asked for her.
"Oh sorry, she's not here right now, she's with my friends but she'll be back later." Inuyasha apologized and Sesshomaru relayed the message to his daughter who became much sadder.
"You will see her tomorrow at school." Sesshomaru told her but Inuyasha heard a thump and her begin to cry.
This caused him to chuckle a bit, "Can I talk to her for a sec?"
Sesshomaru said nothing and gave his daughter his phone, she brightened right up, "Kiki?"
"Oh I'm sorry princess, but Kiki isn't here right now. She had to go help my friends. Do you understand?" Inuyasha began explaining.
"Yeas…" He could hear the tearful frown on the little girls face.
"But tomorrow, after school, we can all get ice cream and go to the fair. If your father says it's okay."
Sairiu perked up at the mention of a fair, "Okay daddy!" Inuyasha paused, he felt really odd that the girl had called him daddy but realized she probably only knew him as daddy because of Kiki. He remembered Kiki crying when she was around 2, when she learned he had a name other than daddy and her real name wasn't Kiki.
Inuyasha sighed, "Alright be a tough little princess. Can you give the phone back?"
"Interesting choice." Sesshomaru commented quietly, watching his daughter bounce. "It is fine if you take her however her security detail will be increased and the perimeter of the 'fair' will be under lockdown until you leave."
"I expected as much with her being the princess and all. Feel free to join us if you have the time, though maybe that's not possible with you being the king and all…" Sesshomaru listened as Inuyasha continued to ramble awkwardly about why he couldn't join the three at the fair. "…Also, thank you. I appreciate the help."
"You're welcome."
"Alright, I have to go." Inuyasha said nervously.
"Goodbye." Was the cool response. Inuyasha hung up his phone and sighed a bit, lost in his thoughts he ended up blushing alone in his office. "Ugh, I'm such a loser…"
There is is. There you have it. Annnnnnnddd join us next time for more. :D
