Oh, and here is a sneak peak at “his majesty”, if you guys know what I mean ;)

See, if you guys can recognize him.

CHAPTER 7

Ujio knew he should be thankful he hadn't gotten a rise off of her. Still, he was hoping that his submission, as his lord had ordered him to do, would soften her and change her mind.

“Stubborn girl! You have no idea what you're doing. You're only sentencing your precious humans to a slow and painful death.” His anger only made him go faster. At this speed, he would be there by the end of the day.

Slamming his fist into the wall of his study, he growled at the reply he got from the miko. Ujio, seeing this, had run off when he saw the red tinge in his father's eyes.

“Damn girl. Her pride will only make things worse. I don't know whether to admire her inability to sway or to laugh at her stupidity!” The Inu no Taishou never lost it. He was known for his coolness even when the pressure was at its highest. So much was his anger that he did not notice his heir standing at the door with an eyebrow raised.

“Is this miko really THAT necessary for our victory chichi-ue (father)? Quite frankly, I see no use for her.” The young inu youkai walked up to his father but kept his distance. He knew better than to stand in the way of the fury of the great Daiyoukai.

“Hai, she is. You know as well as I do that Otoya has allied himself with kuro miko (dark priestess). I am strong, but, even I know that the priestesses are powerful enough to eradicate half our armies before I get to them. There's also the little fact that Otoya is thinking of going after that cursed jewel she guards.” He unknowingly ran a clawed hand through his beautiful silver hair.

“Perhaps another priestess?” his son offered.

“No. I will not ally myself with just any miko. It has to be Midoriko's heir. She's the only one I want at my side. She is the only one powerful enough to withstand such a war.”

“Chichi-ue, maybe if we threaten her village and -“

No sooner had the words escaped his lips, that his father had his claws around his neck, careful not to seep any poison out. He was his only heir after all.

::NO:: His use of the inu language and his growl forced the demon prince to submit, immediately exposing his neck as a show of submission.

“She will help us. Sooner or later, she will come to us out of her own free will. I will not sink as low as to threaten a mere ningen.” His words were calm but held and icy tone to them.

He let go of his son, who started rubbing his neck as soon as he was let go, and went back to what was left of his desk.

1203 A.D. ~ NOVEMBER

He had to think of another way to get her to come. Obviously, requesting and begging weren't an option. Nothing seemed to bend this girl. He sat down on his chair to ponder a bit more. However, his thoughts were interrupted by the noise of one of the guards who almost broke down the door to his study.

“My lord, it has begun!”

“Damn it all!” He clenched his fists. He had not expected an attack this soon. He turned his gaze to the guard. “Doko (where)?”

“The mountains. They have burned down the youkai villages.”

“Sai (my son), go and ready the rest of the warriors. Nao, tell Ujio that I need him to come.” The silver-haired inu prince was gone in the blink of an eye. Nao, the guard, though, stood there as if waiting for something else. The Inu no Taishou was pacing back and forth when he noticed that he was still there.

“What are you waiting for? I gave you your orders!” he barked at the youkai.

“My lord, I don't know if this is relevant, but...” he averted his lord's eyes.

“But WHAT?”

“The monastery...the one at the foot of the mountain? It's completely destroyed!”

Yeah, I know. It was a really short chapter. I'm not uploading for some days. Hopefully within that time span I can get more reviews. So, continue sending them!
