Inuyasha felt like he’d done something stupid. He’d agreed to come to the event held at the castle as Sesshomaru’s date. He never knew it was so high end. Miroku’s father lent him a car and a driver when he found out the hanyou would be attending as well. Inuyasha was dressed in a matte black tailored suit with a silk button up with a matte black tie. He hated ties, but he needed to look halfway decent. The only accessory that he wore aside from his courting gift was a ribbon. Kagome had tamed his hair a bit and pulled it into a braided bun with a black ribbon braided throughout it. She also added a bit of make up to his face, eyeliner to make his eyes pop and a little eye shadow. Kagome said he looked beautiful, and Sesshomaru would be so excited to see him. She was the only one of his human friends who wouldn’t be in attendance, so he asked her to help him. When the driver pulled to the gates, Inuyasha could see the multitude of photographers and reporters being held back. Inuyasha clutched the clean case in his hands, he knew this was about to be a lot.
When the driver opened the door and he stepped out the crowd lost their minds. They were shouting all types of questions at him, but he kept a straight face and continued on inside. He was the only person who didn’t need an invitation besides the lord himself. When inside, he was guided to the ballroom where tables were set up and people were dining and mingling. He declined the announcement because he didn’t want all of that attention on him. He kept his head held high as he walked around, following his nose to where Sesshomaru was. Surprisingly, he was having a conversation with Miyatsu. That made him feel better, and he hadn’t seen the man in some time. He remembered when he was just a kid. Sesshomaru saw him first and a slight smile graced his lips. He held a hand out for Inuyasha to take. Inuyasha couldn’t help but smile at the gesture. Sesshomaru was such a gentleman in public. “Inuyasha, this is Miyatsu Kaazana. He is the owner of Heiki Industries.”
Miyatsu chuckled, “Thank you for the introduction Lord Sesshomaru, but we are well acquainted. It’s good to see you again Yaya.”
“Come on Mi-chan, aren’t you too old to still be calling me that? How old are you now, 47?” Inuyasha chuckled. The man pulled him into a tight hug and Sesshomaru felt a little peeved.
“Lord Sesshomaru, Inuyasha used to work for my father for a time. He worked as my bodyguard for quite a time when I was a child and we became close.”
“More like a babysitter. Yaya, I wanna play. Yaya, where’d mama go? Yaya, Yaya, Yaya.” Inuyasha and he shared a laugh.
“Ah yes, still teasing me after all these years. I’ll leave you to your partner, I’ll go find Miroku and inform him that you’ve arrived.” With that Miyatsu bowed to the lord and went to find his son.
Inuyasha turned to Sesshomaru, “Hey why the long face?” Sesshomaru shook his head. He couldn’t be upset that the man had known Inuyasha longer than he had, there was no helping that. No one approached them while they were together but when Sesshomaru was pulled away to a conversation with some nobles, others saw their chance.
“Ah so you’re the famed half-demon that has caught the attention of the Lord Sesshomaru.” Inuyasha turned around to see a beautiful kuro inu demoness standing before him. There were people watching their interaction intently. Inuyasha recognized her as Lady Kira, the woman Sesshomaru was going to court before he saw him. “Wonder what he see’s in…” She looked him up and down, “something like you.” He knew exactly what she’d meant by that, so he wasn’t going to be nice to her now.
“I don’t know, you’d have to ask him. Afterall, he’s the one who approached me.” Inuyasha smirked when he noticed Sesshomaru watching, “Although I’d say I’m pretty attractive, funny, and absolutely great in bed.” Only a select few people in the room heard the last bit as he’d whispered it near silently. A wolf who’d heard it choked on her drink. Lady Kira blushed as she hadn’t been ready for such a comment.
Lady Kira began fuming, “The only reason he chose you over me is because you’re shiro-inu.”
Inuyasha rolled his eyes at the childish girl. He wondered how old she was. “Aw you’re cute. Did you get jealous? I mean I don’t blame you, who wouldn’t be. He’s hot.” Inuyasha looked across the room at the man whose cheeks were a light pink from his comments.
“You uncouth retch. How dare you speak of Lord Sesshomaru like that!” She couldn’t believe that her lord was with this…this….animal!
Inuyasha shrugged, he was getting tired of this girl’s attitude. If he were anywhere else, he would’ve flicked her in the forehead for behaving like a little kid when she was supposedly older than he was. He leaned forward and whispered in her ear, “With the same audacity that I use to sneak into his bed at night.” He heard quite a few snorts of laughter from those who could hear him and had a sense of humor. Sesshomaru had turned away from him and everyone to avoid them seeing him hold back a smirk. Inuyasha was truly something else and he shouldn’t be surprised but he was. Only Inuyasha would speak in such a manner to someone who was basically a princess. One of the guards closest to them couldn’t help himself and eventually had to be escorted out.
Lady Kira was about to explode in anger when a voice stopped her dead in her tracks, “That is enough, noble demonesses aren’t used to such teasing.” Sesshomaru nearly growled when he saw her approaching Inuyasha. The man tried to hurry over but was shocked to a halt. Lady Kira bowed down low, Inuyasha was the only person unaware of who the woman was.
“Tsukihime! It’s been so long; I didn’t know you’d be here too.” He smiled. He often met her in the library while Sesshomaru was working. She’d introduced him to quite a few books and made him rethink attending school when he told her about it. He hoped she considered him a friend at the very least. Many people gasped in shock at how casually he addressed her and that stopped him. “Um…I’m gonna take a guess and say you’re a lot more important than what I know…huh?”
“Straighten up that slouching back child.” She said sternly making him straighten immediately, “You’re shiro inu, you’re noble by blood. Act like it.” She took in what he was wearing, he cleaned up very nicely and handled Lady Kira a bit crudely but well. “You should pay more attention to the people around you and their behaviors Inuyasha. Especially if you plan to be my son in law.”
That blew the hanyou’s eyes wide open. He just thought all shiro-inu had a similar smell to them because of their heritage. He should’ve guessed it initially. They looked alike but he didn’t want to just assume something like that. He didn’t know what to say. He never met her when other people were around. It was always just the two of them in the library. “I feel like I’ve been extremely disrespectful, and I hope you don’t hate me.”
“Oh of course not pup. All the bowing and pomp and circumstance gets boring.” She reached a delicate clawed hand up to his face, “It’s a bit smeared, allow me.” He let her fix his make up while all others in the room stood drop jawed.
“I really should have guessed though, you’re both stunning.” Inuyasha commented as she focused on her task.
“You flatter me Inuyasha, that mouth is going to get you into trouble one day.” She gave a small smile. Only he would complement them so effortlessly. “There, that’s better.” She turned her head towards the still bowing Lady Kira, her gaze became chilled. “Quite improper of the Lady Kira to approach an unmated male is it not? Run along pup.”
Lady Kira bowed a few more times before rushing to get away from the cold eyes of the Lady of the West. She was so scary, but she was so tiny too and Inuyasha couldn’t help but see it as cute. There was no doubt to her power though. “So…do you approve of me?” The thought made him nervous.
“Oh dear, I thought you would’ve already guessed the answer to that. Must I really say it out loud?” She teased him.
“No, but do you wanna dance?” Inuyasha asked with a dopey grin. It felt good to be accepted by her, even before he knew it. It made him happy.
“Oh, heavens it’s been so long since last I graced the floor. Only you would ask the cold Lady of the West to dance Inuyasha.” She chuckled happily, “But I must decline as my son may just faint from displeasure.” She patted his cheek gently, “Come share a drink with me before the night is over pup.”
Inuyasha nodded, “Next time then.” Many of the people who had thought to put the hanyou in his place were quickly discouraged after seeing the exchange between he and the Lady of the West. Sesshomaru approached Inuyasha with a displeased look on his face which Inuyasha couldn’t help but laugh at. He wondered why he seemed so upset and he found out after Sesshomaru pulled him from the room and into another one.
“How did you meet my mother?” Sesshomaru was seething.
Inuyasha tilted his head in question, “In the library…? She’s always in there and I go in there while you’re working.”
Sesshomaru growled angrily, “What does she want?”
Inuyasha was very confused about what he was talking about, “What?”
“Did she ask you to do something? Is she threatening you?” The lord asked intensely.
“No!” Inuyasha had to practically shout, “She just teaches me stuff about shiro inu and shows me neat books that she likes.”
Sesshomaru was becoming very annoyed, he’d wanted Inuyasha to meet her under his supervision so that she couldn’t try anything. Although he did seem very confused right now. “What books? Arcane magic?”
“No, romance books. Food recipes. Fantasy stories…things like that. What’s your problem?” Inuyasha asked, becoming upset at the man’s behavior.
“She is not to be trusted…” Sesshomaru said trying to calm himself. He wanted to check Inuyasha for hexes.
“Why not? Besides you, she’s been the nicest person in this castle. Do you two have that bad of a relationship?” Inuyasha asked.
“More like no relationship at all. She mated my father for a title and left me to be raised by servants. While she rules a Sky palace of shiro-inu.” She had told Inuyasha about the palace. She said it was very quiet as not many shiro-inu came to visit and preferred to live in wide-open country sides away from the cities. The clan gathered there for events and ceremonies but that was the extent of their use of the sky palace.
“Why would she choose to live in such a lonely place…?” Inuyasha questioned, “She seemed really unhappy talking about it…” The hanyou was becoming very confused and worried. Tsukihime hadn’t said she was in charge of it, only that she had to spend a lot of time there.
“Loneliness, there’s not even room in her cold heart for that.” Sesshomaru spat out bitterly. Inuyasha was so stunned. The woman seemed very lighthearted, while she used the cold façade in a manner similar to how Sesshomaru did.
Inuyasha thought about her laughing face, and how she poured over numerous books in the library. He wouldn’t be surprised if she’d already read every book several times. He thought about her nibbling on her cookies and sipping her tea without taking her eyes off the page and that just didn’t scream cold heartless mother to him. “Sess…I hear you but…are you sure?”
“What do you mean, am I sure?” Sesshomaru growled.
Inuyasha felt awkward about this but it’d come up sooner or later. “Sitting on your throne…are you sure she’s like that?” Referencing his throne had become an indicator of sorts. One that told Sesshomaru that Inuyasha needed him to step away from his position and really think about something. “Did she ever act like that towards you…or do something to make you think she was like that? I mean…you said she only wanted the title…why is she here then?”
“Because my father forbade her from the castle so…”
“So…she was forced to stay away?” Inuyasha continued where he stopped. Sesshomaru paused, staring at Inuyasha after he’d said that. “If she’d done nothing wrong and only wanted the title…why keep her away?” Sesshomaru was trying to make it make sense in his head. He couldn’t understand why, it made no sense. If she only wanted the title…staying in the sky palace or any other place would have been what she wanted. “Sess, I know it’s probably hard to believe since I guess you know her better…but even pulling away from that I find it hard to believe an inu demoness wouldn’t want to be with her child. Demons in general never reject a child and pack demons even more so…so why is she the exception…?” Sesshomaru felt a headache coming on as he thought through all his memories. Inuyasha didn’t want to cause problems for Sesshomaru but if they were to mate, he would want Tsukihime around. She’d probably be elated to have grandchildren because of how she seemed to adore babies if her reactions to her books were to be believed. He was really happy to know she approved of him but there was always the chance he was wrong. “Thinking about how courting was set up back then…are you sure she even wanted to be the Lady of the West?” It was so hard for Inuyasha to picture her in the light Sesshomaru saw her in. “Didn’t you want to get to know her when you were a kid?”
“There had been a time…yes.” Sesshomaru took a seat and placed his head in his hands and sighed. “When I manifested my poison in my claws. It is a trait from her. My nanny let it slip that I would probably be able to create a whip as my mother did.” Sesshomaru seemed to be in a trance as he thought back all those centuries ago. Time was very strange for youkai. “I snuck out of the palace…and made it to the sky palace because I wanted to meet her…she looked so shocked to see me.” Inuyasha said nothing and took a seat next to Sesshomaru as he spoke. “I told her about my claws and…I think…she smiled…and she hugged me…and told me when I created a whip to always follow through.” Sesshomaru sighed and leaned on Inuyasha. “But my father found me and yelled at her…I think he thought she took me from the castle…they argued, and my father picked me up, she looked so angry like she’d strike at any moment.” Sesshomaru realized he’d never spoken about this to anyone. “He yelled at me in the castle, asking me why I allowed her to take me, and wouldn’t believe that I’d sought her out myself. And when I’d learned how to manifest a whip, I really couldn’t do anything aside from hurting myself until I listened to what she’d said. Then I wanted to see her even more. But the same thing would happen whenever I sought her out then, I don’t know why but, I just stopped.” Sesshomaru then thought about his father and the state he was in. His mother had adamantly refused to assist him, who was her mate, and so his father remained as he was and Sesshomaru was forced to ascend the throne. She looked delighted when she’d heard about what had happened. Sesshomaru had been so angry with her.
“Heh…I guess we all have our childhood traumas.” Inuyasha commented, rubbing his cheek.
“So, if my mother isn’t as terrible as I’d assumed, what about your mother?” Sesshomaru wasn’t sure if he should ask this question.
Inuyasha sighed, “It’s only fair right? My mom was a human. Your mom reminds me of her so much sometimes that it hurts. I even accidently called her mom once to. How awkward is that?” He chuckled, “Apparently she fell in love with a youkai, then I was born, and he disappeared. She’s how I learned about what old age meant. Y’know I age like a youkai… so I was still tiny when she died. Then I was chased out by her family. She was so kind, and she loved to read. She would sing me songs and tuck me in every night. She would always tell me how much she loved me. Her last words were about just how much she loved me, and how she wanted me to be happy.” Inuyasha felt himself getting choked up. It’d been a long time since he talked about his mother. He needed to remind himself to go visit her grave. He hadn’t been in so long. “Y’know it really hurts to watch the only person that would truly love you no matter what die. So…it’s really hard for me to imagine that Tsukihime doesn’t love you as much as my mom loved me. I think you’re really lucky that your mom is still around, and she wants to be here.”
Sesshomaru smelled the tears before he saw them. He never imagined he’d see the hanyou cry. Pulling him into his lap Sesshomaru hugged him tightly before kissing him. “I did not mean to make you bring up such terrible memories.”
“Yeah, me either.” Inuyasha hugged him back. “Should we go back to the party? Before Miroku assumes we’re fucking?”
Sesshomaru sighed and nodded. Inuyasha fixed his makeup where it was smudged, and they went back to the ballroom even though that was the last thing Sesshomaru wanted to do. Inuyasha joined Miroku and Sango where they sat and just spoke to them while Sesshomaru continued to make the rounds. As the evening continued Inuyasha made his way to Tsukihime with a glass of wine. He felt bad for her, knowing she’d potentially been kept away from Sesshomaru his whole life. “You have my gratitude pup.” Tsukihime smelled the wine with a smile. “This is one of my favorites actually.” She commented before taking a graceful sip.
“Are you enjoying the festivities?” Inuyasha asked looking around.
“It is alright, though I do prefer a nice book.” They began talking about her latest book and what she loved about the story.
“Why not write your own books?” Inuyasha asked. “I think you’d be a good storyteller.”
This caused her to laugh it was light and airy, she sounded like a fairy when she laughed. “Do you now? I’ve thought about it quite a bit but there’s no guarantee. Besides who would be honest with the Lady of the West, but a certain half-demon?”
“You could always use a penname.” Inuyasha suggested. What he didn’t realize was that she was truly considering his suggestion. She enjoyed writing a fair bit when she was a child after all.
“I’ll take that into consideration, and you’ll be the first to read my stories if I do.” She smiled gently, Sesshomaru picked well.
“May I take him?” Sesshomaru asked politely. Tsukihime nodded kindly. “Would you like to dance Inuyasha?” Inuyasha nodded for the man’s peace of mind and was guided to the floor, where live music was playing. Inuyasha, as Sesshomaru had said, had gotten better with practice though he still made mistakes. Although he enjoyed dancing with Sesshomaru quite a bit. He could see Sango and Miroku dancing on the floor as well. He smiled up as Sesshomaru who returned it with a slight smile of his own. He felt closer to Sesshomaru, he wanted to learn more about him. Genuinely.
At the end of the night, Inuyasha stood with Sesshomaru as people gave him their parting words. Lady Kira was polite but clearly glared at Inuyasha, the last person to say her goodbye was Tsukihime. She was going back to the sky palace for a bit. “Inuyasha, you left this with me when you went off to dance.” Inuyasha thanked her for keeping it safe. “I’ll see you both in 5 days’ time, have a nice evening.”
“Thank you, mother, you as well.”
“Thanks, Lady Tsukihime!” With the long-winded goodbyes finished Inuyasha slouched a bit.
“Up straight!” He heard Tsukihime call as she flew through the sky before her ringing laughter was heard when he stiffened in shock. Inuyasha couldn’t help laughing himself. The woman was hilarious when she wasn’t holding up her icy front. He looked at Sesshomaru as he watched her fly through the sky. He didn’t think he’d ever heard her laugh before tonight.
Inuyasha then handed the case to Sesshomaru. “Second courting gift…and happy birthday. I’m happy you were born. 459, 41 more years and we’ll throw a huge party.” Inuyasha chuckled.
Sesshomaru’s eyes widened…was it his birthday? He didn’t remember Inuyasha ever asking his birthday or his age. He felt his chest tighten a bit…he understood why they celebrated birthdays now. This felt good. He felt…good. “Thank you…” He didn’t know if there was anything he needed to say or do, that’s when Inuyasha started singing to him. A repetition of happy birthday and Sesshomaru didn’t know why it made him feel so awkward, but he wanted Inuyasha to stop.
“Well come on, open it. It was really hard to get that made.” Sesshomaru opened the case to find a dagger. It was impeccably made. “Careful, it’s poisonous.” Inuyasha warned so he would be careful. Sesshomaru picked it up and read the engraving, For the most poisonous beauty I know. Such a cheesy phrase. Inuyasha was grinning stupidly as the lord read it. “Do you like it?” Sesshomaru smiled and nodded.
“Are you going home?” Sesshomaru asked as he closed the case.
“Hmm you could always come along.” Inuyasha smirked. Sesshomaru did just that. They hopped in the car Miyatsu had organized and went back to his apartment. When behind his apartment door, he smirked at the lord. “Hey Sess, ever heard the term birthday sex?” Sesshomaru’s eyes widened, it was very obvious what it meant. Inuyasha grinned, his hair was already tied up, so he hoped Sesshomaru was ready to have the life sucked out of him. They’d be trying a lot of new things tonight.
