Compromise: something intermediate between or blending qualities of different things
Consequence: something produced by a cause, necessarily following a set of conditions
Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru were surprised to see the taijiya and her husband, the houshi, without the company of the naïve and selfish miko that went by the name of Kagome. Kouga was a little outraged because that meant that they had left his mate behind somewhere and she could possibly be out there by herself. Did they not know that she could not protect herself in the wild, that she was too naïve to be able to survive on her own. His mate did not know how to get in touch with her own instincts and thus had nothing to fall back on once her first and only line of defense was defeated. She could be killed because of their neglect. Kouga took a step forward in order to address the issue, but he was held back by several of the council members who saw that it would not be wise to bring up the miko in the presence of their hosts. Sesshoumaru was the first to address the intruders/guests that had arrived not too long ago.
“What business do you have at the Palace of the Western Lands?” Sesshoumaru’s tone was one that implied if their answer was unsatisfactory that he would deliver the direst punishments. They were unsure of what they had done that would intone the young heir’s wrath, but they were not brave enough to neither ask nor disobey the silent command to answer his question.
“Naraku is the reason for our visit, Lord Heir Sesshoumaru. His destruction and ravage has become so great that the other lords of the lands are becoming involved and even then, they are unable to stop the force that Naraku has become. We come here to plead that you help in fight against the evil one.” Sesshoumaru looked on at the two that had lowered themselves to the floor and prostrated themselves in order to prove their sincerity and then he looked to his brother who was still shocked silent. Sesshoumaru touched Inuyasha’s shoulder lightly to bring him back from his daze.
“What do you believe is wise, Otouto? After all, the only way to beat this Naraku is through your power.” Miroku nor Sango looked up at Inuyasha even though they desperately wished to do so. They did not feel worthy to look upon Inuyasha’s form after all that they had done, or rather not done, for the hanyou when they had been pack mates.
“I had thought Naraku would have been dealt with at this point. You mean to say that he has had fifteen years to gather the shards and recruit humans and demons alike to his side?!” Inuyasha could not believe that they would have waited so long for help and the like as the evil hanyou gathered and gained more and more strength from the jewel shards. The two on the ground could do nothing but press their shamed noses into the ground at the two royals’ feet. They had allowed Kagome to go unchecked never realizing just how much crap that Inuyasha kept the girl from doing because she lacked any sense of responsibility.
“Inuyasha-san, I sincerely apologize at my behavior towards you before you disappeared. I respect and appreciate, now, the difficulties that you struggled with while traveling with Kagome. I am sorry that I did not take the time to notice such things before.” Miroku said as way of explanation of why things had degenerated so much while he was away. Sango also apologized, but she did not go into as much detail as her husband. It was just not in her personality to do so, but Inuyasha understood and forgave them both. However, Kouga could not just sit idly by with their explanation because they were not revealing anything about why they had left his mate behind in the dangers of the wild.
“Where is Kagome? You didn’t just leave her out there did you?” Kouga demanded to know. Inuyasha merely raised a brow, Sesshoumaru snorted his distaste at the ookami’s lack of tact, and the Tribe Council only shook their heads in exasperation. It was that very girl that had them in a bit of pinch as it was. The more research they did into the entire situation, the more that Kouga’s mating seemed to be a sham for the girl and Kouga refused to see that. It did not mean that they thought that Inuyasha was any better a choice for their Alpha. In fact, they preferred the girl over the half-breed, but Kouga really needed to put his head back on his shoulders before he did or said something to truly offend their ‘generous’ hosts.
“We did not leave her. She believed that she could do better on her own and we did not fight with her on it. You know how stubborn Kagome can be Lord Kouga.” Sango explained to the agitated wolf lord calmly. Kouga opened his mouth to say something, but fortunately seemed to think twice about it and shut his mouth once more before walking away. He was stopped, however, by Inuyasha.
“Time is running short, Lord Kouga. The Mother is lacking patience with your inability to make up your mind.” Inuyasha informed. Kouga snarled and continued out of the room. Inuyasha gave a sad sigh. It was not as if he wanted to mate with the bastard that had done the things to him that Kouga had. If it were up to Inuyasha, he would have stayed in China where he had wanted to give more than one suitor the time of day and he knew they would treat him like royalty given the chance.
“I hate this aniki! I wish there was some other way.” Sesshoumaru dismissed their unwanted to the guests with a wave of his hand before addressing his little brother whom looked so despondent.
“I know, Yasha, but we have already pleaded with the Mother and she has given her final decision. Her mind will not be changed.” Sesshoumaru opened his arms to his little brother and Inuyasha rushed into them for the comfort that he needed every time he thought about having to mate with Kouga.
“Hopefully everything will work out. If not, I could always leave the Northern Lands short a leader.” Inuyasha gave a watery smile, not caring that he was acting like a total woman.
“Thank you, aniki.” A quirk of the lips gave away his brother’s teasing intentions.

Kagome stumbled once more through the thick underbrush behind the healer that had agreed to lead the miko within a day’s journey of the Western Palace. She was human and had no death wish to actually approach the demon dwelling and told the girl so, however, the woman was wondering what had ever possessed her to be kind to the whining, complaining child that had been lagging their progress for almost six days. It was no wonder that she had been abandoned with her constant complaints, nagging, and overall bossy behavior. That was not to mention that she dressed completely inappropriately and lacked the ability to carry her own weight or share responsibility for their continued survival in the dangerous wilderness that they were navigating.
“I’m tired! Please stop.” Kagome was so tired that she was begging the woman, something that she absolutely hated to do. The woman could not be human because they had been going for hours and they had yet to stop.
“Hush silly child! We have only traveled an hour or so and yet you are already giving into tiredness. You must have been sickly as a child to have such a hard time keeping up with this slow pace. How do you take care of your household if you cannot travel to sell goods or trade with other villages or complete your task in the daylight hours? It is women like you that give the rest of us a bad reputation and are making it harder for us to get respectable husbands. They all believe that we are useless wretches like you. Aye! If I was not a woman of my word, I would leave you here to figure out your way on your own.” The woman continued to rant at the bratty miko following behind her as her pace inadvertently sped up in her agitation.
Kagome felt frustrated tears well up in her eyes as she desperately tried to keep up with the woman that going way too fast for her. The tears were not only about her inability to keep up with the woman’s pace, but at the fact that she was saying some of the exact same things that she and Inuyasha used to argue about. Sango and Miroku had said some of those things too, but she had thought that was because they were frustrated with Naraku’s evil plans and they were taking it out on her by using the ‘non-faults’ that Inuyasha had always been screaming at her. She was beginning to see that she really was useless, whiny, and childish just like Inuyasha had always claimed her to be. It somehow hurt more, though, to hear it come from the mouth of a stranger who had not yet spent a week in her presence.
“Hurry up child! I am two days behind because of you and I refuse to lose any more time. You either keep up or fall behind and I will leave you here on your own. The safest way to navigate these wilds is to get through them as quickly as possible. I will not endanger my own safety anymore for your selfish whims.” The woman once again began to step up her pace until Kagome felt like her legs were going to fall off because of the brutal pace.
She was lightly jogging to keep up with the woman in front of her despite the fact that the woman was a good two or three inches shorter than her. It was a sad considering the woman was also many years ahead of her in chronological age. She could no longer fall back on the belief that she was the only one to fall behind because Shippou, the demon child, was always hitching a ride on someone. In reality, the only person he ever hitched a ride on was Kagome when she brought her metal monstrosity known as a bicycle. She no longer had her back due to inability to care for it properly after the chain broke, nor was she able to maintain it very well with how often they were from civilization when trying to track down Naraku. Kagome was beginning to realize that there was no easy way out for her to take anymore. She was stuck with lead weight legs and that was it.
Two days later, the healer pointed Kagome toward the northwest position from themselves and said that the Western Palace was a day walk in that direction before leaving the miko on her own. Kagome was tired beyond belief, but thankful that she was now on her own so that she could control the pace of journey. She figured that she would take a day to rest and regain her strength before moving on to the Western Palace. Kagome found a small creek nearby and used the area surrounding it as her camp for the night. She ate some of the nuts and berries that she knew to be safe and settled down for the night in a nook of one of the trees. Surprisingly, the miko survived the night unscathed and proceeded to move onward to the Western Palace at a more sedate pace than that of the healer woman that she had spent over a week’s journey with. She stopped frequently for short rests as her legs were still sore and so was her back from sleeping in the nook of the tree, but she would get up and continue on after she had caught her breath. It was after nightfall when she finally saw the fires and lanterns of the Western Palace before her. She had finally made it to her destination. Kagome gave a smug smile to herself. They most likely thought that she would not have been able to do it, but oh boy, were they in for a surprise.

The Mother paced angrily about her dwelling deep within the Lands that were under her guidance. The stubborn wolf lord above was giving her pause about forcing him and Inuyasha together, but as much as she favored the hated hanyou, she could not make exceptions for one if she did not for others. Not only that, the wolf as of yet had not given her a concrete reason to truly tie him to that wretched human priestess and free Inuyasha to choose his own love. It was regretful, but even she was bound by the rules and edicts which were passed down and given by her own hand. Hopefully, Inuyasha’s situation would turn around before things go too far or it becomes near impossible to give Inuyasha his freedom to choose.
