Chapter 4 Truce

Disclaimer: Trust me if I owned Sesshoumaru he would be my mate and we would be living the good life in Japan instead of daydreaming.

The House of the Cresent Moon servants created a picturesque and lavish dining experience for the Inu-Egyptian royals. The dining area was draped in bright red and white striped curtains. The seating area was slightly raised in the shape of a crescent moon, the western royal crest. Soft green and gold floral seat cushions were place neatly behind each place setting. Down the center of the table were small golden lanterns with the western crest on it in a deep midnight blue. The seats for the female youkai guest had a blue orchid in a red ceramic vase. Below the oddly shaped table was a green floor, five beautiful golden inu females dressed in rainbow color kimono with painted white faces. Each lady had an instrument, which they started to play soft music.
Clearly enjoying the display the regal InuJaja and his queen kneeled comfortably together waiting on the arrival of their daughter and host. InuAkin, however, looked extremely uncomfortable not accustomed to sitting at a royal table. Along with them were local inu-youkai lords and their mates.
A loud gong sound announced the arrival of Lord Sesshoumaru. Jaken, the inu lord’s retainer, cleared his tiny throat before bellowing out. “Now entering the Inu no Taishio, Lord of the Western Lands and Ruler of the House of the Crescent Moon, The Great Sesshoumaru-sama and Princess of Inu-Egypt, the future Lady of the Western Lands and Lady of the House of the Crescent Moon The beautiful and magnificent InuYaa-Sama!”
The lower inu guest all stood and bowed low as the western lord and his lady made their way into the dining room. Sesshoumaru and InuYaa had on matching cream and gold kimono. The oni lord wore his normal loose style hakama however, instead of ballooning over his black armored boots; they grazed over a pair of blue silk zori. InuYaa wore golden floral silk zori which made her conscious of each step. Sesshoumaru assisted InuYaa kneel into her cushion as custom required of him before sitting casually with his legs crossed.
Jaken scurried over to get the servers and entertainment started. Like a choreographed dance, the inu moved silently placing priceless cream bowls of rice, green bowls of soups, large platters of sashimi, various sushi flavors, and piles of soba and udon. The entertainers sang and dance a story about Sesshoumaru’s father and his greatest battles in a kabuki style.

Dinner was uncomfortably quiet. Although the Pharaoh and his queen InuAsantewa were enjoying the pageantry of the evening, they looked visually concerned. They could see the stress and pain in InuYaa's aura. They could also smell her blood healing her body. Being her parents, they wanted to know what had transpired, but now was neither the time nor place.

Silently Sesshoumaru noted the concern and would speak with the royal parents in private about the scuffle InuYaa and he had. He regretted slightly causing harm to her but it was necessary for him to remain dominate and in control. She would learn her place, whether it was willingly or by force was up to her. He looked to his right and saw the princess struggling to remain regal. She forced a smile and continued trying to eat with the chopsticks.

InuYaa was still in pain from being tossed unceremoniously into a wall earlier but was trying to put on a brave face for her parents. She turned and looked at her parents then at Sesshoumaru and smiled gingerly though it was more like a grimace. The table was much too quiet so she began a conversation, “My lord, how pray tell does one eat with these…sticks?”

The western lord reached over and helped her hold the two sticks properly. “First, my lady you hold the first stick between your thumb and forefinger. Second, you place the last stick as if you were going to write.” Placing his clawed hands over hers the oni lord guided her in opening and closing the sticks. He moved closer to her ear. His hot breath tickled her earlobe teasingly. “Then, you use your forefinger and thumb to move the top stick. Take care to keep the bottom stick secure.”

InuYaa's body felt like it was going to explode. Her heart raced at Sesshoumaru's close proximity to her neck. For a dangerous and sensual male to be so close to the most vulnerable spot on her body excited her. She was confused by not only her body but his actions. Earlier she was brazen and he was aggressive now he was arousing her and she wanted to…submit. InuYaa’s inner youkai finally spoke up. Expose our neck to him; he will enjoy our willingness to please him if we do. InuYaa did as her beast guide commanded. Hearing her parents and InuAkin gasp, she coyly blushed but took extra care to continue her private lessons with her soon to be mate.

Sesshoumaru allowed a small smile to grace his perfect mouth at her obedience and the open display of submission. He continued to assist her in picking up a grain of rice. “Then you gently place it in your mouth,” he huskily finished. A small amount of red appeared in his eyes. He felt his loins ignite. He quickly moved away from her and continued eating as if nothing happened.

InuYaa grinned bashfully at her parents and InuAkin and continued eating with ease using the chopsticks. Now that I have his attention maybe… what's next?

After dinner, Lord Sesshoumaru, Pharaoh InuJaja and General InuAkin went into the war room to strategize, while InuYaa and InuAsantewa went into the garden. Mother and daughter walked silently amongst the plush flowers. InuAsantewa figured that if she wanted to ensure her child's safety she needed to find out what happened and if Lord Sesshoumaru caused it. “My little princess InuYaa, will you tell me what happened between you two?”

Taken back by her mother's question InuYaa stopped walking. How do I answer this? If I lie my mother will know but if I tell her the whole truth then my father will insist on fighting Sesshoumaru for my honor’s sake and Egypt…She couldn't finish that thought. She knew that the daiyouki could defeat her parents and InuAkin with ease. “Well, we had a small…ah…disagreement and well now we are fine.” Quickly changing the subject she added “I am starting to feel things for him…things I can't explain,”

“Maybe I can be of assistance.” The queen knew her daughter wasn't being forthcoming with her but allowed it. Taking her daughters hand, the queen pulled her close to her and the two walked hand in hand enjoying the various exotic flowers.
“Well mother he infuriates me. I don't hate him…he confuses me. One minute he is impassive and the next he is tender. At the table his touch made my heart flutter. Then he moved away from me like I burned him. If I am to be his mate I hope that he would open up to me eventually I know all of this is sudden but mother I am nervous about becoming a mate to someone I don’t feel love for,” InuYaa acknowledged. Leaning her head on her mothers shoulder as they cruised through the narrow pathway.

“Ah…well my daughter youkai like Lord Sesshoumaru are difficult to influence psychologically. He has had a hard existence. Once his father died protecting his human mate and his hanyou brother the West revolted. Alone he forced his lands into order by his sheer will and might. As with all revolts there was blood spilled and innocence lost, he must have had to freeze his heart to do that.” The wise Queen InuAsantewa knew all too well what a daunting task InuYaa was in for. Her father was ice cold. He never allowed himself to love his children or mate. She watched her mother wither away from his aloofness. That was a fate she refused to send her daughter through.
InuYaa thought about exactly what she wanted to ask her mother…her queen. “How to I begin to melt the ice around his heart mother?”
“You must become his sheath.” Simple enough, InuAsantewa thought.
InuYaa looked more bewildered than ever. “His…sheath?”
“Yes. Lord Sesshoumaru is like a katana. Its steel is hard and strong. Always yielding to his masters will. Willing to kill mercilessly for honor but without a sheath the katana never rests. Each sheath is connected and made specifically to each katana and the sheath is the katana’s place of comfort,” Queen InuAsantewa explained.
Coming upon the same yin yang pond Sesshoumaru brought her to earlier, InuYaa slides her foot out of her zori and twirls her dainty claw toe in the cool water before asking “How do I become his sheath?”
InuAsantewa moved close to her daughter and touched her soft bronze cheek. She looked deeply into her silver eyes and said “Welcome him into your heart as if it is his home. Welcome him into your lap as if you are his pillow. Welcome him into your world as if he is your sun and moon and stars. Be everything to him and he will soften. When he does, sheath him in your love and passion.”
In the war room the three youkai looked at a map of Inu-Egypt. It was a vase space taking up the entire northern portion of the continent. The lower parts belonged to smaller inu, neko and kitsune tribes. Pharaoh InuJaja explained the entire situation to Lord Sesshoumaru. He estimated how many panthers they would be facing. InuAkin told him the army was decimated. There would be few warriors left. Those who are left may not have the fighting spirit to continue on.

At that moment Sesshoumaru cursed his father for not leaving him the Tetsusaiga. If he wielded that sword the battle would be over before it begun.

“We have not heard from any of our warriors, however, we do know they followed our orders to retreat. It was a cowardly act, but necessary,” InuAkin said to no one in particular.

InuJaja wanted to end this impeding war soon and without a lot of bloodshed. He knew of the Daiyoukai reputation. Lord Sesshoumaru hated the panther youkai more then he hated his hanyou brother. “Lord Sesshoumaru, tell me what you think?”

“This Sesshoumaru will return Egypt to its rightful owner,” he deprecatingly said.

The Pharaoh leaned on the table staring at his lands as if he was weighing if leaving his precious daughter worth ruling again. He needed to rebuild his home, his queen’s home and to give his people hope again. “Then we shall leave after you mate InuYaa. She knows how to act as a ruler. She will look over the Western lands until you return. Is that acceptable?”
“This is acceptable,” Sesshoumaru made note to leave Jaken behind. The little imp knew how to keep the lands in order perfectly while his soon to be mate adjusted to being away from home.
InuJaja motioned for InuAkin to leave. Once alone he turned to the western lord coldly and asked the burning question of the evening, “What has transpired between you and my princess? She seemed very submissive and that's a stance she has never taken.”
Sesshoumaru remained silent for a while. He stared at the map on Egypt and then answered. “Yes she is learning her place.”
Unsatisfied with the answer InuJaja allowed his youki to flare. “This InuJaja needs to know what her place is.”
Sesshoumaru raised his eyebrow in silent warning yet he relented understanding that as a father the Pharaoh was merely concerned. “Princess InuYaa is this Sesshoumaru's mate.”
“Very well, This InuJaja is pleased; however, if any harm befalls to my princess then harm shall befall you,” he warned.
Remembering his father’s words he replies, “This Sesshoumaru protects what belongs to him.”
“Then we are in agreement,” InuJaja said firmly.
A small fluffy white inu entered to serve sake to the royal youkai. Afer scurrying out. The lord nodded his agreement. “Yes we are in agreement.” The two males continued to talk and sip sake by the fireplace in the war room. Before long it was late into the night. Everything was planned and it was time for the Pharaoh to retire. Bowing his head slightly when he felt the presence of InuAsantewa coming to retrieve her mate, Inu Jaja looked the young lord in the eyes. “I trust you will care for my daughter Sesshoumaru.”
“I do not mean to interrupt, however, InuJaja you are needed in our chambers tonight,” the queen said suggestively. InuJaja bowed his head slightly at Sesshoumaru and went off with his mate. They spent the entire day separate and InuAsantewa wanted to make up for lost time.
Sesshoumaru also noticed he had a longing to be with his future mate. He extended his youki senses to find InuYaa. She is in our chambers…hn. He quickly made his way to her.
