The Princess of the Southern Lands
Chapter 5: Return
Sesshomaru walked down the hall and stopped in front of the
room assigned to. He knocked on the
door. He could smell death coming from
within the room. Sesshomaru knew that
Sakura had been dying. He had also been
there when Talon talked to his father about letting Rose stay here. He would never allow it to show, but
Sesshomaru was overjoyed that Rose would be staying longer with them. It would give him time to get to know Rose,
to see if she was the one.
He knocked on the door again. Again he got no answer. He opened the door and realized, as the
scents hit him, that all of the occupants had left. He could barely smell Roses scent and didn’t
know what was going on.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Throne Room *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
“Milord!!!
Milord!!! We have a problem!!” Myoga shouted as he jumped onto Lord Inu no
Taishio shoulder.
“Calm down Myoga. Now
what is wrong?” Lord Inu no Taishio said
quietly. Sesshomaru ran into the
room.
“Lord Father.” He said formally, he bowed. “Rose has left, Father. The headed out toward the Southern
Lands. The youkai out there will make
sure that she becomes their dinner if we don’t find her quickly.”
“That’s what I was going to tell you.” Myoga said.
“We must find her Master!!! She
may be brave and strong for a hanyou child, but she is still a child and will
get hurt!!!” Myoga whined.
“Then three of us will go to find her immediately.” Lord Inu no Taishio said as he rose and left
the castle-fortress with his son and his retainer by his side.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Toward the Southern Lands *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Rose ran as two dragons sped after her. These particular dragons hated Inu-youkai,
especially Lord Inu no Taishio. They had
smelled that Rose came from the Great Dog Youkai’s castle-fortress.
“She maybe a hanyou but if we kill her it may hurt the Great
Dog!” One dragon said to the other as he spat out the last two words angrily.
The other dragon laughed as they continued to give
chase. He could see in front of them
that the Inu-Hanyou tripped and fell. “Yes
and now is our chance.”
Rose got up quickly and turned to face her attackers. She prepared herself to fight and most likely
die but she would try to take them down with her. The dragons closed the distance between
themselves and Rose quickly.
Rose braced for the pain, but once again it never came. The three about to engage in combat froze as
an earth quaking roar sounded through the forest around them. The dragons went pale and tried to run away
from the roar. They didn’t make it.
Lord Inu no Taishio came down upon them and using Tetsaiga,
incinerated both dragons in one swoop.
Rose could only stare at Lord Inu no Taishio. She had known he was strong but had never imaged
he could so easily take on two dragons.
Dragons were more often than not, very hard creatures to kill. They didn’t belong to the same category as
regular youkai. They were in one all of
the own.
Rose was even more shocked to see Sesshomaru walking towards
her. She couldn’t understand what was
going on. Why had they come after
her? Didn’t they realize that her
parents were gone and that she would be nothing but a bother to them if she
continued to be in their lands?
“Lady Rose,” Sesshomaru addressed her. She looked at him curiously as he bowed
before her.
“Why would you bow Prince Sesshomaru? I am not a Lady only a Princess.” She spoke softly, having finally gotten over
her shock.
“You are a Lady now.
Your mother and father have passed on.
You and your brother are the Lord and Lady of the Southern Lands. Until your brother mates, you will continue
to be the Lady. Once he has mated
though, you will once again be a Princess.”
Sesshomaru said just as softly.
“Lady Rose, why did you leave the castle? It’s not safe for you to be out here all by
yourself. I would not even allow
Sesshomaru, as powerful as he is, out here unguarded.” Lord Inu no Taishio said, turning Rose’s
attention to him.
“My mother and father are gone. There was no other reason to stay Lord Inu no
Taishio. I do not want to be a burden to
you any longer. I will be on my way, if
you please. I am sorry that I have
caused you such trouble after you were so kind to my family. Thank you and Prince Sesshomaru for saving
me.” Rose said, she then turned but
stopped when she felt a hand on each of her shoulders.
“Lady, come back to the castle. There is much that must be discussed.” Lord Inu no Taishio said as he picked Rose
and Sesshomaru up and became a ball of light, speeding to the castle-fortress.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Throne Room *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Rose was back in the castle and in the throne room before
she could even figure out what was happening.
She now stood before Lord Inu no Taishio and his family.
“Your brother asked me to look after you and to let you stay
here until you were old enough to come aid him, unless he was able to gain the
Southern Lands back. If that were to
happen he would come to get you himself.
I agreed to his favor. You are
welcome in my castle Rose.” Lord Inu no
Taishio said, smiling at the girl who looked so confused and amazed at the same
time.
“But milord,” Rose protested, “I will only cause you more trouble if I stay here. Unless you could find some way for me to
serve you, I could never allow myself to stay.”
She didn’t want to be anymore trouble to the Great Dog Youkai. If he could find something for her to do so
she wouldn’t be a bother than she would stay until her brother came or called her.
Lord Inu no Taishio looked at the girl curiously. He wasn’t sure what he could have her
do. There would be no way that she could
be a servant, she was a Princess and he would not allow her to lower
herself. He felt a tap on his arm and
looked down to see Sesshomaru wanting to speak to him.
“Yes Sesshomaru?”
Lord Inu no Taishio inquired.
Sesshomaru leaned up and whispered so lightly in his ear only Inu no
Taishio was able to here him. His eyes
widened at his son’s words and grinned uncontrollably. “I like your idea son, but will the Lady of
the Southern Lands agree to it.” He
said.
“What would he want me to agree to?” Rose asked a little
scared. She didn’t know what she should
be in for.
“You will be allowed to stay here on two conditions. The first is that you become betrothed to
Sesshomaru to become his mate when you two become of age.” Lord Inu no Taishio smiled as he looked at
the little girl.
Rose’s eyes became as big as saucers. She couldn’t believe that he would allow a
hanyou to mate his son, but here he was offering his son to her. “Wait,”
Rose thought, “didn’t he say that it
was Sesshomaru’s idea!!! Sesshomaru
wants me to be his future mate!” Rose thought that she would burst with joy
when she came to that revelation. “Yes I will agree to it, milord.” Rose
smiled.
“The second condition,” Sesshomaru said as he walked down
the stairs and came to stand in front of her.
“Is that you never put your hair up again. You will always wear it down from this point
on.” With that said Sesshomaru reached
up and using his claw, cut Rose’s scrunchie. Rose’s hair fell in waves down her back and
Sesshomaru seemed mesmerized by the fall of the ruby waves.
