Sesshomaru couldn’t be more annoyed as he darted away on his ki cloud nearly throwing Jaken off in the process. The bastard king had tested him for too long. He sped to the southern lands as quick as he could and landed at a monument of a castle. All around him the people of the city looked starved and worse for wear. The closer he got to the castle the better the condition of the people, showing a clear difference between social classes. The street kids watched him closely and in awe as he made his way to the castle quickly. Looking around he knew his father would be disappointed if he allowed this to go on any further. The ruler of these lands was a hanyou, but he was no ordinary hanyou. As a human the creature had given his soul in exchange for power. The south was under a dictatorship at the time and the power hungry hanyou was able to rally the citizens and behead the dictator and his family before taking control. The people looked no better off, in fact, they looked even worse than they did before. Guards approached him, weapons in hand, guns pointed.
“His Lord Sesshomaru, requests an audience with yo-“ Jaken was cut off as Sesshomaru murdered the men before him before continuing.
“Attacking the princess is makings of war. The southern lands will belong to the west.” Sesshomaru growled. Frightening his servant in the process.
Sesshomaru tore the castle down looking for the treacherous hanyou. When the castle no longer stood, he bellowed out a great roar, warning all who were near of the dangerous predator that had entered the lands.
People ran in fear, and armies attacked him mercilessly, but the will of the western lord would be done. He slaughtered everyone who dared to stand in his way. There were several strongholds across the southern lands that Sesshomaru would need to destroy as he was looking for the rogue lord.
After a month, he’d single handedly wiped out every castle, army, and barrier that intended to stop him. The western lord was livid. “How dare that creature think to run? He is truly the spineless swine!” Sesshomaru bellowed making Jaken and the advisors on their knees flinch. He sat in the large throne room of the final stronghold he’d taken over. He wouldn’t destroy this one as it would become the central point to his plans. Currently, before him, there were kneeling servants, advisors, and guards. All had their eyes cast down, fearful of the dog king and rightfully so.
“Where. Is. He?” Sesshomaru bit out.
The advisor trembled under the gaze and averted his eyes in submission, “I do not know my lord…I promise…we…we are surprised…he abandoned us.”
Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes, smelling no lie from the advisor. “Jaken. Find out what you can, and do so quickly.” The imp hurried to do as the lord ordered and the lord merely stared off into space, lost in thought about the time spent away from his family. He sighed before standing and getting to work on redesigning the infrastructure of the damaged country. It was nearly a month before they found what they needed, by that time Sesshomaru had appointed officials to see to the rebuilding of the nation, before he even thought about merging the two countries into one.
Jaken was able to uncover documents about a mansion hidden in the mountains, one that could be moved at will. Sesshomaru growled, hating the trickery the coward had resorted to. He merely wished to return home to the ones he cared about, and curl into bed with his future mate. As the lord walked he lost himself in thoughts of the snowy-haired hanyou. He pictured his amber eyes and the way the sunlight touched his honeyed skin. The lord sighed, planning to be done with this within the week.
The hanyou was good but not good enough. After what felt like weeks of exploring the mountains, he finally came upon the structure. Low and behold who waited for him at the top, the damned hanyou.“Lord Sesshomaru of the West, how nice of you to visit. Welcome.” The hanyou snickered.
“Prepare yourself for your death, hanyou.” Sesshomaru growled.
“Such cold words from the one who chases after a hanyou who isn’t so different from myself.” He sneered.
“My intended holds nothing similar to you, foul creature.” Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes and darted forward. The hanyou was able to dodge quite a few of his attacks but not all of them. “Naraku.” Sesshomaru glowered. The hanyou lord was finally able to put distance between himself and the demon lord.
Naraku smiled and wiped the blood from his mouth. “I’d try to be a bit kinder Lord Sesshomaru, after all, you wouldn’t want any harm to come to your family.” Sesshomaru said nothing and merely readied his sword before charging forward. “That’s not very nice my Lord. You’ll be punished.” Naraku looked behind him, “Kill him.”
From several angles, beasts and youki of all sorts were charging at him, ready to attack. Sesshomaru defended himself as best he could while being bombarded and seething with rage. Using his light whip he cut the numbers in half and then used Tokijin to slowly pick off the rest. When he finished and the smoke cleared, Naraku was nowhere in sight and his scent had disappeared. Raising his head towards the sky he growled before howling to the heavens. Sesshomaru had never before felt such anger towards one being. He’d threatened his family on more than one occasion even going as far as to try to kidnap them. Sesshomaru knew when he found Naraku again, no matter the cost, he’d make the hanyou suffer. Jaken watched with bated breath as he watched how frustrated his lord and king was, wishing he could make it easier for his lord.

Inuyasha sighed and stretched his legs as he laid in bed. It was quite late into the night and he hadn’t been sleeping well with all of the stress and expectations placed on him. He saw a shadow pass his face and opened his eyes. He nearly threw himself to the other side of the bed he laid on when he saw Kiki standing there and watching him sleep. “Hey hun, what’s the matter? Did I feel faraway again?”
She shook her head and whispered, “The scary lady is watching me…”
Inuyasha’s brow knit together, “Why is she saying some scary movie shit?” He thought to himself. “Do you wanna sleep with daddy tonight?” She nodded as she climbed up. He cradled her in his arms but she was obviously restless. Her eye kept darting around and she continued to squirm uncomfortably. “Honey do you wanna talk about it? What scary lady?”
“The one from grandma’s…” She whispered into his chest.
“The guard?” He asked raising a brow when she nodded. That was odd. He didn’t have any reason to think his daughter would lie about seeing the woman and it put him on edge. Lifting up, he picked her up as well and headed to Sairiu’s room to check on her. On the way Kiki tensed and began to growl causing Inuyasha to stop moving. He decided to trust his daughter’s instincts as his own were demanding, knowing that children were a lot more sensitive to things. “Kiki…do you see her?”
“…Yeah…” She whispered through her low growl.
“Why are you watching my daughter?” He asked aloud, gaining the attention of the guards that were posted, who looked at each other in confusion. “Leave, or else.” Kiki’s growls died down and she snuggled closer to the hanyou. Walking up to a guard he ordered him to find someone who could explain how the woman was getting in unseen. He wanted to know why she was here and hidden. Inuyasha ended up sleeping in Sairiu’s room with the two young pups.
In the morning, he found himself sitting with really stuffy old men, who really were leading him into a circle. He eventually called a few of his friends to the castle, including Kouga, Miroku, and Kagome. They all knew magic and demon magic pretty well. He wanted to know how the woman was getting into the magically protected palace and why his daughter was the only one able to sense the woman. When they arrived and were alone together he let them in on the problem and how the old farts were no help. “Well you know Hishime’s family is really old, so maybe that has something to do with it.” Kagome pondered.
“When you think about it, only women dog demons are capable of magic. Shiro inu tend to be more powerful but she has ancient blood from shiro inu and kuro inu so maybe magic just doesn’t work on Kiki.” Kouga threw into the air, “Females of certain wolf clans have those abilities like from Ayame’s family.”
Inuyasha nodded as he watched his daughter feed the babies youki baby food. Kouga had brought two of his daughters and Miroku had brought his daughter as well. “You know. I don’t think that’s it, because wouldn’t Sairiu be wary of her too?” Miroku asked.
“Yeah…” Everyone murmured, eyes finding the little girl gently handing Miroku’s daughter. Inuyasha explained very carefully that she must watch her claws and be very gentle with the small girl.
“Could…could it be her disorder?” Kouga asked after a moment. “Youki magic is linked to the youki. Kiki has trouble with hers and so the magic wouldn’t effect her because of the disconnect…right?”
Inuyasha’s eyes widened, “Bro…that just might be it, because no one noticed her. I actually called their grandma about it too. She said she was going to deal with the problem. But I just don’t know…”
“Someone’s looking love sick. Sesshomaru still hasn’t come back? You know we saw him on the news right?” Kouga teased.
“On the news? Why?” Inuyasha questioned, no having heard anything.
“He’s on a rampage through the southern lands. He looked so scary on the news…it looked awful!” Kagome lamented.
“Yeah, he looks pissed and has already killed thousands of people…he’s the real deal…a definite taiyoukai…” Kouga added.
Inuyasha rubbed his neck, amazed that he couldn’t see the lord doing such a thing. He’d come to know the lord differently than what others saw and the news was making him anxious. How could a person kill so mercilessly and if Sairiu is next in line, what would happen to the sweet girl? His eyes wandered over to her, she was stuck on her knees as the small baby had taken an interest in her curly hair and wouldn’t let go. She looked like she was going to cry until Miroku freed her with an apology. “Inuyasha…I didn’t say anything before because I was so happy for you but…do you think seeing Sesshomaru…is safe?” Kagome said quietly, “What if he hurts you?”
“Kags, you don’t have to worry about that. Youki are incapable of intentionally hurting their mate.” Kouga explained.
“Yeah?” She asked, a little of the worry easing, “But what if someone else tries to hurt him because of Sesshomaru.”
“Look at who he is though. The Lord Sesshomaru. He has ‘The’ in his name. I think puppy’s pretty safe.” Kouga continued.
“Kagome I can take care of myself anyway. I’m just worried about the kids. Something weird is going on and Sesshomaru didn’t tell me anything before he left.” Inuyasha sighed. “I think I need a break…I’m really stressed out with this whole son of the former lord, dating the current thing.” He sniffled and wiped at a few stray tears that had his friends giving him worried stares.
Kiki frowned and crawled into his lap, hugging him. “Daddy don’t cry.”
“I’m sorry kiddo, I’m okay, I promise.” Inuyasha assured his empathetic pup.
“Maybe we can take the kids out to do something. They’re on break right now, right?” Miroku suggested, holding onto his daughter who was adamant about going back to bother Sairiu.
“Yeah!” Kouga exclaimed, “My girls haven’t really had a chance to enjoy the season.” Kouga and Ayame had already created their traditional holiday cards as well as a few depicting more mainstream holidays. Inuyasha couldn’t get over how cute the triplets were, and was very proud of his friends. They decided to take a holiday away from the city but he warned his friends that there was apparently a lot of things that he needed to do in order to get away from the castle for something like that as he was just the interim leader.

Sesshomaru, having lost all traces of Naraku, left the lands in frustration, leaving Jaken to work on repairing the scarred lands. As he flew on his ki cloud, his mind wandered back to his family, specifically to his heir this time. He doubted she would be able to handle this type of work, and her training would probably have to start late because of her trauma. Naraku. Naraku had to have been the cause. There was no reason for anyone to have attacked her mother. She had been kind in life, much kinder than what is typical of a youki of her stature. Similar to Lady Kyoge and her brood. When he arrived at the castle he could see how snow covered everything was. Landing in the court yard he went in search of his family but found no trace of them. He was informed that they’d left for the week in order to relax. His advisers informed him of how overworked and upset his sibling had been with all of the rules of the court. Sesshomaru made his way to his office and sat down before beginning to go through paperwork, using his demonic prowess. He was done within half a day before retiring to his bedroom. It smelled of Inuyasha, especially the bedsheets. Climbing in he relaxed and slept for the first time in months. He woke up a few days later when he sensed someone standing in front of him. The presence wasn’t hostile so he opened his eyes slowly. His daughter was standing there in a furred coat with a cute hat atop her head that complimented her long curls. “Father.”
He sat up and looked down at her, “Hello Sairiu.”
He hadn’t expected her to tear up and begin crying. “I missed you so much!” He pulled her into his lap and held her close as she cried. Inuyasha came in urgently at her cries and was obviously shocked to see him in bed. Inuyasha’s eyes roamed the half-naked youki’s body as he held his daughter, his white hair a curtain down his back as he held Inuyasha’s gaze.
“…You’re back…” Inuyasha stated the obvious.
“That I am.” Sesshomaru replied.
Kiki then entered the room, followed by Monshi. “Father!” She squealed before jumping into bed and nipping at him, wanting to play. Sesshomaru pet the young girls head and ears gently, as Inuyasha came to sit on the bed.
“You were gone for a long time…” Inuyasha commented.
“I apologize. That was not my intention…a month at most is what I expected.” Sesshomaru explained.
“Did you…find who tried to hurt her.” Inuyasha asked, unsure if he wanted to know the answer to that question.
“I did…but he still lives. He has fled, and left his lands to be conquered.” Sesshomaru growled lowly. “He is a vile creature that will be wiped from the Earth when I am able.”
Inuyasha sighed petting his daughters head and then wiping Sairiu’s tears. “That makes me anxious.” Sesshomaru’s youkai bristled as it demanded he ease his intendeds mind.
“It is late, let us put the children to bed.” Sesshomaru stated. They decided to tuck the children in together in Sairiu’s room. When they were back in the confines of the lord’s room he pulled the hanyou close and connected their lips.
“Sesshomaru…” Inuyasha whispered.
“Inuyasha ease your mind. As you said before, there is no one on this side of the planet capable of killing me. You have nothing to fear, I will see to your safety as is my pleasure to do so.” Sesshomaru rumbled into his ear. Inuyasha blushed having forgotten how embarrassed the lord could make him feel. The lord maneuvered them to the bed and slowly began undressing the hanyou. Inuyasha could feel his youkai vibrating in his head at the return of the youki and it was making him dizzy. He felt Sesshomaru’s rough hand glide up his body before traveling down and cupping his ass. The lord slowly caressed a nipple with his tongue as a hand rolled over coiled muscles of the engineer. Inuyasha’s body was clearly made for what he did. He stopped abruptly and sat up, looking behind him he saw Kiki standing with a frown. “What is it child?” He asked, in his usual tone, while Inuyasha turned a new shade of dark red.
“The scary lady is back…” She whispered.
Sesshomaru knit his brows together and Inuyasha stood up and picked his daughter up. “The female guard from your mother’s palace…something’s not right.” Inuyasha explained.
The taiyoukai said nothing and watched his intended comfort his child. “Father…make her go away…” the pup whined. They went out into the hall and began walking. Similar to last time Kiki tensed and began to growl when she saw the woman.
“Inuyasha, do not run away.” Sesshomaru stated before flaring his powerful youki across the radius of the palace, putting guards on high alert. Inuyasha’s instincts demanded that his run or submit. He’d never felt anything close to what the lord had let out. His puppy was whining in submission and baring her neck. Guards closest to their position dropped to their backs, he could hear Sairiu crying a ways off in fear. Sesshomaru looked around and finally spotted the woman. Quickly, as she was trying to recover from the way he disrupted her youki, the lord grabbed her by the neck and the air was scented with his poison. She squirmed and began to scream in pain as his poison ate away at her. “What are you doing in my home? And using magic of the clan in this way?” She didn’t say anything and merely growled at the lord. He broke her arm and she screamed some more. “You know I detest repeating myself, dear cousin.” He broke her other arm, and hand, effectively preventing her from using magic until they healed. She still refused to talk so he broke her leg and gave her a larger dose of his poison. “I hold no care for you and if I learn that you are connected to Naraku, your family will suffer.” Sesshomaru growled when her eyes widened at the mention of Naraku. “How are you connected to that foul beast girl!?” He growled angrily, by now several guards including Hiroki, Nagoya, and Mizuki. “Lock her up and do not treat her wounds. She is a traitor to her people and her own kind.” He announced. When his eyes met Inuyasha and Kiki he could tell they were put off by his behavior. “Her arms are to be broken every hour, to prevent the use of magic. If she dies before morning then so be it.”
He turned on his heel and went back to his room with all eyes on him. When Inuyasha returned, he came alone tucking Kiki in again and having Nagoya and Mizuki guard her as she slept, knowing she was most comfortable with the two inu. Sesshomaru was sitting up in bed and staring off into space. “Are you okay…Sesshomaru?” He asked as he approached the still lord. Inuyasha couldn’t even tell if he was breathing by how still he was.
“Do you fear me Inuyasha?” Sesshomaru asked before turning to stare at the hanyou. His piercing gaze made him uncomfortable and yes the lord scared him but he wouldn’t admit it fully.
“…sometimes…” Inuyasha whispered but he could tell by the barely visible twitch of the lord’s eyes that his words had hurt the lord. Sesshomaru’s eyes found the hanyou and watched him stand awkwardly. Inuyasha sighed, “You’re really powerful…just how strong are you…?”
Sesshomaru considered this, there had never been a time where he had to use more than half of his strength. “You are a half-demon and yet because of our father you are more powerful than most demons on this planet.”
“What..?” Inuyasha questioned.
“I can destroy the world and no one can stop me.” Sesshomaru stated simply. Eyes holding Inuyasha’s gaze with no emotion at his statement. Inuyasha felt a small spark of fear grow in his chest. The lord wasn’t normal, and it was so painfully obvious after the last few months.
“Is Sairiu going to be…” Inuyasha trailed off. It was hard to imagine the little girl as powerful as Sesshomaru.
“Yes.” His daughter may not be showing signs of her abilities but it was obvious she would be powerful as she aged.
The hanyou rubbed his arm. He’d known the lord was powerful, he joked about it and while his youkai was elated that such a powerful creature desired them, the other half was having serious doubts. He knew the lord wouldn’t be able to harm him but his stomach was in knots when he thought about all of the people the lord had killed. After all, he’d even tortured the girl in front of him and though he wouldn’t admit it aloud, he was really terrified of the lord currently. Sesshomaru was silent as he watched emotions flit across the hanyou’s face before settling on uncertainty. It was one of the things he liked the most about the engineer, he was very open and easy to read and he didn’t lie like others. Another youki would have thrown themselves at his feet and begged the lord to mate them after feeling some of his strength but the hanyou stood strong. “I’m…gonna go to my room…I’ll see you later.” Sesshomaru watched as the hanyou left, saying nothing and doing nothing. His mind was racing with a million thoughts before he relaxed in the bed and let sleep take him once more.
Inuyasha walked to his room slowly. He was confused and unsure about the current relationship he and the lord had. While the former lady clearly didn’t have a problem killing people and he doubted his father did as well, he just didn’t have that in him. He never wanted to be placed in a position where he had to murder someone and he didn’t know how he felt about Sesshomaru anymore. Sitting on his bed he laid back and sighed. A low humming began and he looked over to Tetsaiga, which had been mounted on a stand, it was calling to him. Inuyasha picked it up and examined it. The hum was low and comforting. He gave it a small smile, “Thanks.”
I am back for ze time being. I was really depressed because a lot of chapters from this story, TYAD, and my other stories that I was almost done with and ready to start uploading. Even chapters from my orginal stories were erased and my entire outlook on life plummeted. I was really lost, but I feel better now.
As I said before, I’ll finish ALL of my stories. ALL of them, no mater what, just had to get it together.
