CHAPTER 10:
At Lord Sesshomaru and Lady Rin's Castle:
A servant entered and announced, "Milord, Milady, Lord Koga and his mate Lady Leiko have come to see you."
Sesshomaru answered, "Very well. Show them into us at once." The servant bowed and did as bid.
A moment later, Koga and Leiko entered. Sesshomaru and Rin greeted them warmly, "Lord Koga, Lady Leiko. To what do we owe the honor?"
Koga grinned and said, "We wanted to thank you for your hospitality and the use of the cabin."
Waving it off, Sesshomaru said, "Think nothing of it. You are always welcome here."
Rin smiled warmly and added, "We insist that you must join us for dinner tonight."
Koga replied, "We would be honored." and bowed respectfully. Sesshomaru nodded.
Feeling a bit playful, Leiko grinned and mentioned sweetly, "Sesshomaru, I do believe that you still owe me a rematch."
Sesshomaru nodded amused and said, "Whenever you are ready, my dear."
Leiko smiled and suggested, "Then perhaps before dinner tonight?"
Sesshomaru replied, "As you wish."
He looked at Leiko and asked, "Shall we?" She nodded her head and the four of them went out into the training grounds.
Leiko walked over to Koga, kissing him. Noticing the slight apprehension in his eyes, she said, "Fear not my love, tis only a sparring match."
Sesshomaru walked up and added, "Worry not Koga No harm shall befall your bride, I give you my word." Koga nodded and then Sesshomaru motioned for Leiko to draw her sword, which she never went anywhere without.
She drew her sword, and bowed respectfully to the Inu Taiyoukai, before saying, "On guard!" They circled each other like birds of prey, sizing each other up. Suddenly they both kneeled down, with their backs facing each other, observing a few minutes of silence.
At the same time, they lashed out at each other; beginning to dance a complex choreography of deadly proportions. Their swords clashed repeatedly, as they parried and slashed at each other, dodging swings, smiling.
Eventually Leiko added a few flips to the patterns, making her attacks less predictable. When she flipped over him, and smacked him upside the head, Sesshomaru's eyebrow twitched.
Both were oblivious to the audience they were acquiring. They clashed blades again, neither seeming to gain the upper hand. Sesshomaru was focusing on straight power. Leiko’s tactic was more focused on her fluid movements, graceful, and accurate.
Her furs swirled with her movements, putting on a little show for the people. More and more people stopped to watch the duel. They continued to attack each other in a blazing flurry, until both were panting rapidly and sword less. They flipped away from each other.
He spun around and attacked from the back but she blocked it. She swept his legs and knocked him onto his back. Diving for her sword, she brought it up just in time to block his, and swept his legs out from under him again.
He jumped back up and they clashed blades again. Leiko managed to barely knick his cheek.
Sesshomaru smirked nodding, and they both disarmed one another again, at the same time Sesshomaru swept Leiko’s legs out from under her, grabbed up his sword, and held it to her throat, saying seriously, "You evenly match me in speed and skill for hand to hand, but I am still the better swordsman."
He removed his sword and helped her up; they collected their things after bowing to the crowd. The crowd clapped and cheered.
"That was actually fun, good suggestion." Sesshomaru stated, sheathing his sword back at his waist.
Leiko sheathed her sword as well. "Well, it was worth it. And the crowd seems to like you... Or at least your body." she joked, walking with Sesshomaru towards their mates.
He shrugged, holding his armor. "Maybe." Smiling at his mate, Sesshomaru declared proudly, "But Rin is my mate." as he hugged her tightly.
“True. Speaking of which," Leiko walked over and hugged her husband smiling.
Koga was in awe of the easy banter that passed between Sesshomaru and Leiko as well as the mock battle they had just put on.
He regained his composure, returned her hug, and grinned at his mate announcing, "That was amazing Lei!"
She beamed at him and said, "Thanks." She stood in front of and bowed gracefully to her friend and mentor, adding "Thanks to your teachings of course."
Sesshomaru replied proudly, "You have always been my best student."
Leiko smiled proudly and said, "You flatter me, my friend."
Sesshomaru stated seriously, "Simply stating the facts."
Everyone smiled. A servant walked up and announced, "Dinner is served."
Sesshomaru nodded in acknowledgement and the four went inside to eat, while the crowd dispersed.
At dinner:
Koga questioned, "So, just how did you and Sesshomaru meet, I wonder Lei?"
Sesshomaru answered, "She walked right up to me when I was traveling the lands one day, and she was quite young too. I was quite surprised and duly impressed when she showed no fear in confronting me." and nodded to Leiko, who continued explaining.
FLASHBACK four and a half years ago:
A young girl about fourteen years old, was walking about, and saw a fire. She carefully snuck around and worked her way over to see who it was.
"I wonder if that’s Inuyasha and his friends again?” she thought to herself.
She peered over and saw a young child. She muttered to herself, “That’s not Inuyasha's friends, but I wonder why the child is alone? Hm I shall go find out myself." She sauntered over and approached the girl.
"Hello" she said.
The startled girl said, "Oh, Hello."
Leiko asked curiously, "Tell me young one, why are you here alone in the woods?"
The child grinned and proclaimed happily, "I am not alone. Lord Sesshomaru will return soon."
Leiko looked at the child and said, "Very well, I shall stay by you until this Lord Sesshomaru comes to get you. It is not safe for one so young to be unguarded." She settled down by the child and they ate the cooked fish.
After awhile Sesshomaru stepped up and saw the strange child, not much older than Rin and demanded, "Who are you? Why are you here?"
The child smiled and replied seriously, "Ah, I see, you must be this Lord Sesshomaru the child spoke of. I was walking by when I noticed that she was alone. So I stayed here to protect the child until you returned."
Sesshomaru blinked, shocked and said, "How can you a mere child protect anything?"
Slightly affronted, the older child looked upset and yelled, "I can take care of anyone necessary!”
She stalked right up to him and said, "You should not have left her alone! It is very careless." admonishing the adult.
Sesshomaru raised his hand to slap the child for her insolence, but she quickly dodged, drawing her sword and said, "I have no wish to fight you- I only wanted to make sure that the child was safe."
Sesshomaru looked confused and asked, "Why would you care? Are you not a demon?" staring at her befuddled.
The child replied, "Yes I am a wolf demon, however I care about all children, be they human or demon.” Huffing, “A child shouldn't be made to suffer because of an adult’s negligence."
Sesshomaru approached the child with his sword drawn and said, "Tell me insolent pup, do you not realize that I can kill you on the spot, if I so choose?"
She replied, "I can sense that you are very powerful and would likely kill me on the spot. However, someone who takes in a child that is not his blood can't possibly be all that cruel."
Tilting his head a bit, Sesshomaru looked at the child and queried, "Why are you here alone in the woods?"
The child looked at him and replied, "I am alone because there is no one for me. My parents died when I was but a pup, and recently I have left my caregiver's side.” Eyes hardening she added, “I travel alone, because I must."
Sesshomaru nodded and demanded, "Why do you not fear me?" gazing into the youngster’s eyes.
The child answered truthfully, "Because you are only trying to protect what is yours."
Sesshomaru looked at the child for a long time. They stared at one another sizing each other up. After a while, he sheathed his sword and so did the child. Sesshomaru announced, "Very well, you may go now."
Slightly shocked, the child bowed and said, "Thank you." turning to leave.
Sesshomaru nodded and turned to walk off, when Rin ran up and asked, "Um, Lord Sesshomaru?"
He replied calmly, "What is it Rin?"
She asked, "May my new friend come with us for a little while?" pointing toward the older child, who had started walking away.
Sesshomaru thought it over and announced, "Very well."
He looked at the older child and said, "You may come with us for a while if you so choose, but, do not mistake this as kindness. You will watch over and protect Rin while I am away, if you choose to follow, understood?"
The child bowed again and said, "I understand and will follow you, for a while at least." Sesshomaru nodded and placed both girls onto Ahun’s back and they set off.
END FLASHBACK!
Present day:
"And so, I followed for awhile. Eventually Sesshomaru saw me battling a couple smaller demons to protect Rin, on several different occasions, and was impressed with my skills for one so young. He offered to train me personally. I accepted, and the rest is history." Leiko finished happily.
Koga stared at his mate in awe. She had always been a good fighter. They had been through the same training as kids, thanks to the way she’d had her grandfather persuade the instructor, and he knew very well that even young she was able to hold her own in most situations.
Sesshomaru added, "She was brave, is a fast learner, and was still respectful to me, despite her cautious manners towards adults.”
Koga chuckled agreeing, “She’s always been a bit touchy and even overly cautious around adults, except for her grandfather.”
Sesshomaru nodded and continued, “After awhile she and Rin became as close as sisters, and eventually Leiko and I became close as well. I began to look upon her as a younger sister. We have been close ever since.”
Sipping his wine, Sesshomaru added, “One day when we journeyed by Kaede's village, Leiko announced that she was going to the village to live and thanked me for everything. I made her promise to visit every now and then and allowed her to leave."
Smiling Leiko added, "Shortly after that, I began training with Kaede. But I still visited Rin and Sesshomaru almost monthly and continued my training. Then a couple years later, I met Inuyasha and Kagome and their friends."
Koga nodded his head and said, "I see." Muttering, “Still don’t care for the mutt much myself.” Everyone laughed and finished eating.
Leiko announced that she was tired and Sesshomaru said, "Very well, Jaken will show you two to your room for the evening."
Koga and Leiko thanked their host and followed Jaken to their room.
Jaken said, “If you need anything, give a holler.” before taking his leave.
Leiko yawned and climbed into bed. Koga curled up around her, and they drifted into a peaceful slumber.
