Chapter 31: Illusions

 

“As you may recall Tashio your betrothed will be arriving any day now. Your relationship with the Dark One must end,” Lord Ken'ichi told his nephew.

 

He could see that the news was tearing him the young one apart, but there was nothing he could do about it. His brother left specific instructions for Toga mating a female inuyoukai worthy of his pedigree.

 

“It is not as simple as that, uncle,” Toga finally replied, golden orbs swirling with mists of crimson.

 

“Oh? Why is that? He cannot sire heirs for you, nephew. You are no bitch and neither is he. Please, now is not the time to be stubborn. Your mating is crucial for the future of newly acquired status as Taiyoukai. Explain the reasons why to him and he will understand.

 

“If he loves you as he say then he will relinquish his claim on you in order for you bond to Kasumi's daughter.”

 

Toga's furred triangle ears flatten instinctively against his head - showing his displeasure. He was to breed with his father's sister-in-law's daughter. He couldn't stand the bitch, and now he was about to be mated to her.

 

But Toga said nothing as he bowed his head in acquiesced. Then turning sharply on his heels, the new Lord of the Western Lands set off to find his soon-to-be ex-lover.

 

oOoOoOo

 

Toga sat-up in bed with a start. His hair clung to his back from sweat as it continued to trickle down his smooth face and bare muscular chest. His breathing sounded loud to his acute hearing.

 

Swinging his legs over the side of the futon, Toga striped out of his sweat drenched sleeping pants. Walking naked into his bathing room, Toga steeped into the warm filled pool of water, maybe another bath would take his mind off the worries of the past couple of weeks.

 

Toga wondered how his uncle was going to react to the twin sons of Sparda. The inu-lord sighed in contentment as the relaxing scents of lavender penetrated his nostrils and leaving him completely relaxed. Amber eyes slowly drifted shut as memories came to the surface from over four hundred years ago.

 

oOoOoOo

 

The palace had been in a flurry of excitement for nearly two weeks. The lord's new mate would be arriving any day now and the servants didn't want their mistress coming to a dirty home. A month prior to the lady's arrival the servants began cleaning the palace from top to bottom.

 

Walls were scrubbed, worn wood floors were replaced, tapestries beaten, new furs were imported from the main land and the old ones were donated to the humans living in the surrounding boundaries of the Western Lands who couldn't afford such luxuries.

 

Everything was to be prefect. However, some of the servants watched their lord with sad eyes and heavy hearts knowing the torment the daiyoukai was going through.

 

They cursed the old ways for the misery it was causing. Toga would be forever bound to his mate. Only in death would he be free to love who his wished.

 

The day came when Lady Izumi assumed her roll as Lord Toga's mate, and the first order of business on her list as the lady was to banish her mate's friend.

 

A timid knock on Sparda's door pulled the devil from his silent musings. He wasn't ready to deal with the circumstances yet. He still felt numb when Toga told him that they had to break relations. The older demon agreed without a fight. And that was three and a half months ago.

 

Sparda glanced at his bed to make sure his lover was still asleep. The curtains were drawn closed to prevent curious eyes from spreading gossip.

 

“Yes, Jak-” Sparda was too preoccupied to sensed who was on the other side of his door.

 

Bright golden eyes met his cold silver closed off stare.

 

“I'm sorry, Lady. May I help you?” Sparda politely asked.

 

The female Inu barged her way in. Sparda silently cursed. The randy scent of sex hung heavily in the air. Even with the windows opens it was still not enough to get rid of the potent smell.

 

“I came for my mate,” Izumi demanded wriggling her nose in distain.

 

“Did you.”

 

“You are the reason why we have not properly mated.”

 

“Am I? And by `properly mated' you mean for Lord Toga to bed you every night.”

 

A blush highlighted Izumi's fair face making her crescent moon stand out even more. Since no answer was forthcoming, Sparda had assumed correctly.

 

“I did what was asked of me, Lady Izumi. I renounced my claim on him.”

 

“Then why do you still lure him to your bed?”

 

“Toga comes of his own free will. You have obtained what you needed from him, why bother him on trivial matters?” Sparda said with a devil may care attitude.

 

“No, I do not!” Izumi growled. Her claw dripped with acid-poison. The green sickly fluid hissed as it corroded away the wood floor.

 

“You have conceived a child of his seed, what more do you want?”

 

“His heart,” she whispered.

 

Sparda turned away from the petite Inu. “Any other time I would rip you to shreds for daring to take a potential mate away from me. But I war with myself over challenging you.”

 

“Damn you, Sparda!”

 

Izumi pounded on his back but the hits were in effective. “I want you gone! Gone from my home and from my mate!”

 

Gentle crying now filled the quietness of the luxuries bedchamber. Toga was now awake standing next to his mate and lover.

 

oOoOoOo

 

Gulping a breath of air, Inu no Taisho coughed as he rid his nose and throat of the water that took him by surprise. For the life of him, Sparda still held his heart captive.

 

/Curse you, Sparda, for ever loving me/ he thought grimly.

 

Tiredly, Toga left the bathing pool. Drying off and slipping into a fresh pair of sleeping pants, he leisurely climbed back into bed where the god of dreams took hold of him again keeping a secure hold on the taiyoukai.

 

oOoOoOo

 

The western territory has been cast into shadow by the heavy rain storms that seemed never ending. Never had humans or demons seen anything like it. Ever since the Dark One's departure, Lord Toga had been in a hostile mood.

 

Sparda had been gone for five months.

 

Not even the Lady could lighten his spirit, but how could she? She was the one to have her rival removed. But now she watched her mate as he stared out over his land with unseeing eyes. Her hand rested on her extended stomach feeling the gentle kicks and movement of their pup from within as she approached Toga from behind.

 

“What did the healers say?”

 

“Our pup is strong and healthy. You should start thinking of a name for him. He will be here in three months time, my mate.”

 

Izumi fell silent unsure of how to brooch the delicate subject with Toga. She reached out to him - touching him tenderly on the arm. However, he stiffened underneath her caress.

 

Conceiving their pup had been the only time Toga had bed Izumi. Another reason for the inuyoukai to hate Sparda.

 

“Toga, about Spar-”

 

“Don't, Izumi,” he said cutting her off. “I will not speak of him and neither will you.”

 

She forced him to face her. “I will not - NO - I refuse to be treated as your mistress, your bed whore. I am your mate!”

 

Unfortunately, Izumi didn't get the desired affect she wanted.

 

He turned on her.

 

A snarl ripped from his lips, eyes dark with fury. “My father arranged our mating for one purpose and that is for me to fill your belly with pups, heirs to my land. If you think for a single moment that by sending my lover away behind my back will make me love you then you have another damn thing coming!”

 

The tall inu advanced on his trembling mate seizing Izumi roughly by the arms.

 

“Let go of me, Toga!”

 

But her plea for him to release her went unanswered as Toga was lost in a haze of frustrated anger. He was too far gone to listen to reason. The taiyoukai unleashed his merciless rage on his mate - taking her against her will.

 

oOoOoOo

 

Dawn was greeted with Toga empting his stomach on the floor of last night's dinner next to his bed. He sobbed silently to himself not wanting his sons to hear.

 

So long ago did his transgression against Izumi happen and Toga was ashamed - he had caused her to loose their first pup. Again, he cursed Sparda for leaving but knew the silver eyes devil made the right decision to go.

 

For had Sparda stayed, Toga would never had fallen in love with Izumi.

 

She had proven to Toga that she was strong willed. Even after he had brutally ravaged her, Izumi did everything in her power to show Toga he was not going to break her.

 

He smiled in memory.

 

Izumi finally accomplished the one goal she initially set out to do - to capture his heart.

 

From that point on, Toga straightened himself out and properly courted Izumi. He even went as far as to cleanse her body of his foul deed and heal her spirit.

 

A quarter of a century later, Toga opened his heart and professed his love to Izumi. Since then, the Western Lands flourished with warmth and life. And short thereafter, Izumi gifted Toga with another son. Although Sesshoumaru possessed his strength and ruthlessness, his son favored Izumi's grace and elegance.

 

Sesshoumaru's feminine like qualities reminded Toga so much of his beloved first mate right down to her poisoned whip and blue crescent moon. He wondered if maybe Sesshoumaru should have been a female instead of a male.

 

He shook his head no. Sesshoumaru was unemotional except when dealing with his mate. Inuyasha brought the worse out of Sesshoumaru just to prove that he could, which all was entertaining to him.

 

Servants entered to bring Toga his morning tea and reports on the demon dragon, Ryuu - another bane. Toga indicated to the mess he made. His personal attendant glared at her lord with a questioning brow. Toga simply shrugged his shoulders going back to reading the scroll.

 

The rest of his morning was spent on how to inform his sons that he would be leaving soon.

 

oOoOoOo

 

Quicksilver eyes clenched tightly to ward off the invading sunlight that was seeping through the cracks of the closed shutters.

 

Vergil groaned as he attempted to shield his sensitive eyes from the accursed brightness, but only one hand was able to move. He glanced down his body to figure out what was impeding his right arm when he encountered a patch of stark white hair.

 

/Dante/ he mused.

 

But to his dismay, he blanched. Vergil remembered what happened to his lover. Fearing the worse he struggled until a craggily voice caused him to cease all movement.

 

“Will…you…(yawn)…stop squirming,” the younger twin said using Vergil's famous line.

 

Swallowing thickly, Vergil replied, “Dante?”

 

Another pair of quicksilver orbs greeted the early morning sun.

 

Dante blinked a few times to get his bearings before looking up at his twin with tears in his eyes.

 

“Oh, thank god, Verge - you're awake,” Dante exclaimed, hugging his brother.

 

Confusion was clearly etched on his ageless face. Dante shrugged it off not wanting to work up Vergil upon his awakening.

 

Dante would tell his brother later about Trish. Right now more rest was required to replenish their devil triggers.

 

oOoOoOo

 

When Vergil woke again he was by himself. A quick check of his internal clock told him that it was a little bit past noon, way too late for him to be in bed, but as soon as he stood the world tilted. He closed his eyes to fight back the wave of dizziness and vertigo.

 

Once the spell passed, Vergil slowly set about cleaning himself starting with a bath.

 

After feeling thoroughly refreshed from his bath, the older twin spotted his familiar blue with Yamato and Force Edge on top of his clothes. He smiled. Dante must have came in and lain out his clothes for him. As Vergil pasted a full length mirror an image other than his reflection was staring at him.

 

“YOU!”

 

oOo TBC oOo

 

A/N: Guess who Vergil was looking at? Gosh, didn't think Toga was a bastard, huh? Well, blame it on Sparda. No, don't do that. Actually, more of Toga's past will come out. Well, want to learn more? Then stay tuned for the next chapter.

“I must caution you to be extra careful around my other guests.”

 

“Why is that, niisan?” Saburo inquired.

 

“They are devil twins.”

 

“Devil twins? There's no such thing, Toga. You must be mistaken.”

 

“Ah, but it is true, Saburo, and I'm telling you this for your own safety. They are territorial and dangerous when riled, so if you value any vital body parts you best stay away from them until they've become accustomed to you,” Toga replied letting them know what would happened should they do not heed the warning.
