Omega
Date: October 14, 2011 Chapter: Facing the Wrongful Past confrontation: the clashing of forces or ideas altercation: a noisy, heated, angry dispute It had been a month and a half since Inuyasha had returned to Japan and, more importantly, to the Western Lands. The relationship between Inuyasha and his Aniki was developing well as Sesshoumaru spent a good chunk of his time with Inuyasha learning what made his brother tick and how he had survived for so long on his own from such a young age. Sesshoumaru also spent time involving Inuyasha in the politics that their father was tutoring him in since he was the eldest heir to the Western Lands. Not only was the relationship between brothers becoming better, but the relationship between father and his youngest son was starting to gain ground. While they had not had a previous, tangible relationship beyond that of absentee father, they were building a strong foundation for a respectable father-son bond. It warmed Inu no Taisho’s heart every time he thought about how well things were working out between himself and Inuyasha. Sesshoumaru was also pleased with the development of things in the House of Inu. Inuyasha was also benefitting from the progress that was being made between he and his family members, but there was still a large part missing. Kouga. Despite the fact that Inuyasha was still angry at the wolf for what he and his pack had done without care and without approval from his own government, Inuyasha was also afraid of him. While Inuyasha need Kouga, he did not want to need Kouga, but the Alpha was the one to taint his innocence and he would have to be the one to restore Inuyasha’s aura in place of his still semi-destroyed status. Inuyasha was drawn out of his musings when his father appeared at the doorway to his room. “Hai, Otou-sama?” Inuyasha inquired to his father’s presence. “Kouga and his council have arrived, Inuyasha.” Inu no Taisho watched with carefully suppressed anger as Inuyasha’s entire expression blanked and shut down at the mention of the wolves that were at fault for his current status. “Arigato, Otou-sama. I will be down in a moment.” Taisho nodded his acceptance and left Inuyasha to get ready for the confrontation ahead. Inuyasha arrived several moments after his brother to see a silent war waging between the cousin canines in the room. Had the situation not revolved around him, he most likely would have found it amusing as they tried to glare each other to death, but because it did involve him in a most direct manner, he merely found it aggravating. It also made him more nervous than usual which did not improve his temperament either. While Inuyasha had grown up in light of what had happened to him, he was still the same brash, brutish, easily angered Inuyasha. However, he now took the time to think before he spoke and controlled his impulses better than when he had been younger. “Ohayou. I hope everyone is well this morning.” Inuyasha announced his presence politely. Those that occupied the room all turned to look at the soft tenor that originated from Inuyasha’s mouth. Most of the council from the Wolf Tribe could only stare at the vision that was Inuyasha with their jaws hanging halfway to the floor. Inuyasha had always been beautiful, there had been no denying that, but as he stood before them once more, Inuyasha seemed to have gained an unearthly glow about his person. He was pale, as were all demons of his family, but not as pale as his kin, it was more the color of a ripe, succulent peach. Hair that had once fallen from his head in coarse disarray was now tamed, smooth, and pulled into a demure plait that kept it out of the half-demon’s way. Finally, the posture of defiance that he had always shown and the posture of defeat that he had left them with was gone to be replaced with a quiet, yet noticeable confidence within himself. It was truly a sight to behold from the Inuyasha that they remember especially since he was not wearing the fire rat robe that he had become infamous for. “All is well Inuyasha. Come and sit. There is much to talk about after the meal.” It was Sesshoumaru that broke the silence since his father and the current Lord of the Northern Lands were still busy in their non-physical, non-verbal argument. Inuyasha sat down and waited respectfully for his father to begin eating along with the rest of the table. He did not have to wait long as one of Kouga’s council members distracted the still naïve lord. The meal was silent.Inuyasha sat in his brother’s lap in their father’s study, assessing each of the demons present. His father was sitting behind his desk, more as a way to refrain from violent behavior than a show of power, while the wolf pack was sitting closer to the fireplace and door, to better their chances of escape should something go wrong. Inuyasha once again thought of the irony of the situation and how amusing it would be if it did not involve him. It was finally the eldest member of the inu clan that spoke from their position next to Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru.
“What is the purpose of this meeting, may I ask Lord Inu no Taisho?” The elders knew about Inuyasha and what happened, but they had believed the situation to be resolved since Inuyasha had returned to the Western Lands. Taisho motioned for Inuyasha to speak as it was he that was most directly involved and the most knowledgeable about what was happening. Inuyasha stared at Kouga with cool detachment while he spoke. “You have mated, Lord Kouga? I would have thought that one in your position would know better than to tempt the laws of youkai and instinct.” Inuyasha began cryptically. Kouga just gave a snort of derision. He did not have to follow his instinct and he did want to mate with that half breed, a mutt whose own father did not want to be associated with him, so he ignored his instinct on the matter. It was not like it made a big difference; after all, Kagome had given him two healthy, strong male cubs that would succeed him in leading the pack in the future. Inuyasha merely raised an eyebrow at the laid back response from the Wolf Tribe leader. Surely the ookami was not so foolish. “Then you know that my youkai will latch to yours and feed from you until there is nothing left but a choice. Your youkai will either break your bond with your mate and children or it will begin to eat at you from the inside out until you go mad and revert to an uncontrolled primal state until you self-destruct. What a painful decision that will be seeing as either way will cause your loved ones great suffering. I am surprised that you chose such a disastrous path.” Inuyasha was unfeeling in his words as he revealed to all present just how harsh the consequences were against those that had wronged an innocent with the stigma of Omega. The wolf council and Kouga himself had paled at the reality of the penalties that the Alpha faced. They had known that mating the wronged one was part of the punishment, but they had thought that it was something that was negotiable. Kouga was still hard pressed to say that he would have mated Inuyasha given the information that they had just received in any case. “Surely you jest. The miko was blessed by the Mother into their bond or otherwise it would not have happened. The Mother is guardian over all instinct that rules us and she would not have allowed such a union if what you say is true,” one of the council members refuted. This time, Inu no Taisho spoke up on Inuyasha’s behalf. “That is not the case. The Mother leads instinct, yes, but she does not and cannot demand that the rational counterpart to instinct comply with her guidance. As for the blessing of their union, it is unlikely that they have the Mother’s blessing. You just relayed that Lord Kouga is mated to a miko. Mikos are anomalies in this world and defy the laws of everything that is with their power. Just as we demons do not follow the laws of humans, mikos do not follow the laws of human or demon nature. It is most likely that it is not a natural bond between Lord Kouga and the miko, but one made of her magic.” Kouga just shook his head in denial while the council members from both lands looked between Inuyasha and Kouga. “You cannot hide from yourself anymore Kouga. You can no longer deny that you do not feel the pull of your youkai. You can no longer deny that your youkai has been telling you that the miko was not the one, that your bond was wrong, that something has been missing. If you continue to do so, you know what lies at the end of the path you seek. Otou-sama, I am tired, may I please retire for the day?” Inuyasha politely intoned. Inu no Taisho nodded his agreement and Sesshoumaru rose with his brother to escort and support his younger brother back to his room for a bit of rest. The reaction between the two must have begun because it was barely after noon and Inuyasha looked ready to drop from fatigue.“What the hell do you mean that he’s gone!” a girl with midnight, waist length hair, wearing her characteristically short kimono shouted at the poor she-wolf that had the misfortune of being the one to tell her that her mate had left for the Western Lands a little over half a moon cycle ago.
“Lord Kouga was summoned to the Western Lands by Lord Inu no Taisho and he departed just before the mountain rain began.” With her piece said, the she-wolf scurried off to get out of the miko’s warpath. It was another, human, woman with dark haired pulled back and carrying a large weapon that stepped up to the raging miko. “Kagome! Control yourself. You are no longer a child and this behavior is unacceptable. We will just follow after them to the Western Lands and we can two birds with one stone by pleading the help of not only your mate, but of the Western Lands as well.” The miko took a deep breath, held it, and let it go before responding. “I- You’re right Sango. It’s just that nothing has gone the way it was supposed to since Inuyasha left. I mean, Naraku is still around and has almost completed the jewel shard, Kouga refuses to give his up no matter what misfortune they may bring, and worst of all is that Inuyasha left us high and dry because I hurt his ‘delicate’ feelings. I mean really, was it so hard to just help us look for survivors?” Sango shook her head at the stubborn girl and her husband Miroku mimicked the action. “I know that you feel as if he abandoned us, Kagome, but it was never in his nature to be social or caring for others when he had no one to show him those things when he was younger. When you were trying to change who he was, that did not help any. We love you Kagome, but one day you will have to see that Inuyasha was not always in the wrong when he called you out on something. He had his rough points, but even the strongest of people will only take so much before they give up. Just like you and how you gave into Kouga because you realized that you could not get Inuyasha. Just like now, when you are conceding that Inuyasha was a large part of the power of this group and that without him, we are somewhat useless in saving this world and yours.” The part that it was mostly her fault was left unsaid, but understood by all those present. “I wish you would stop pointing that out,” Kagome replied to the monk. Miroku merely shrugged. “I will stop when you accept your wrongdoings and work to truly correct them.” With those words, Miroku left the den that was Kagome shared with her mate and children when she was actually there (which wasn’t much). Kagome snarled and looked as though she wanted to lunge after the houshi, but she thought better of it and stayed put. It appeared that Inuyasha was also the one that held the unlikely group of people together to the girl from the future. They had not realized until he left, just how spoiled and self-centered that Kagome was. It was quite a shock to say the least. Another blow had come later, when Shippou left the misfit group to live with a den of fox demons that they had found about a year after Inuyasha disappeared. While the kit had not said it to them in direct words, he had left them because of Kagome and her increasingly unstable moods. That mood had improved a bit when Kouga began to actively pursue her again a few years after Inuyasha had left. However, Kagome still remained the selfish, self-centered, and stubborn girl that they loved to hate and hated to love. “Enough you two,” Sango interjected firmly. This was one of the reasons she was glad that they were resting in the mountains for a bit before heading out again. Miroku and Kagome fought, worse that Kagome and Inuyasha did, and it grated her nerves to the point of murder. She really wanted a nice hot bath in the springs and a good, hot meal shared with her husband without the sounds of petty fighting. Miroku kissed her cheek in apology, but said nothing else to the youngest of their group. She could only guess what was in store for them next because right now she was sure that they could not handle anything more. Bright and early on the morning after the full moon, the group headed out toward the Western Lands to hunt down Lord Kouga and hopefully ally the Lord Inu no Taisho in helping them get rid of the menace known as Naraku. None of them had any illusions that their journey into the heart of the Western Lands would be easy or that they had a large chance of success in gaining the cooperation of the Western Lands, but they were desperate enough to try and at that moment that was all that really mattered. However, on time would be able to reveal the secrets of the future and to answer the multitude of questions.While AFF and its agents attempt to remove all illegal works from the site as quickly and thoroughly as possible, there is always the possibility that some submissions may be overlooked or dismissed in error.
