Getting to know you - A "Will You Be Mine?" Side story.
By Miztikal-Dragon
Chapter Six
Morning had come and the ruminating guards were out in the fields retrieving their fallen comrades. The unsuccessful seize had only lasted three hours, but the body count was enormous. Many of the generals perished by the crushing blow of the giant and others slain by Renkostu or Jakostu. The seven humans were the exiled band called the Shinchinintai, the allies to only the higher bidder, the bringers of death. Many of the women and children were found slaughtered, none spared, the queen included.
Sesshomaru was the first to take charge after the lifeless body of the Shinchinintai leader, Bankostu hit the ground, the Inu-Youkai’s father having slain the powerful human. The king himself was found on the roof of the castle, his own sword through his heart, the tracks of dried tears down his cheeks. It had been suicide. Guards found the queen slain on her bedroom floor, her stomach gutted and her body defiled, Sesshomaru had found the culprit easily and death was not swift. The smell of blood and death filled the entire castle and yet the little hanyou prince InuYasha was gone. There was no trace of his blood or scent, somehow he had just vanished.
It would take weeks to clean the smell of blood from the castle and possible even longer to get things back up to par, but Sesshomaru ordered for it t be done in three days or be faced with penalty. Trustworthy youkai were sent looking for any survivors in the castle, along with the dead and once everyone was found Sesshomaru looked down upon them with cold and uncaring amber eyes. The dead were burned and laid to rest and the injured were taken to the infirmary where youkai doctors attended to them.
There was no time for lazing about, things had to be done and there were parts of the castle that needed to be rebuilt. Sesshomaru summoned for the demon Totosai and it would be a few hours still till he arrived. He was the best candidate for architecture because he had been the one who had originally designed and built Sesshomaru’s father’s castle. After that was taken care of there were new jobs to be assigned and more employees to hire and Sesshomaru would pick everyone he felt was qualified.
People scrambled around trying to get things done, there was no doubt that everyone was feeling heavy hearted with the deaths of the king and queen hanging over their heads, but they had to live on. They could not let time pass them by because life goes on and people die, no one could stop it from happening, well maybe except for Sesshomaru that is.
With Tenseiga by his side, he could bring back almost anyone from the dead, but why he didn’t use it to bring back his father and Izayoui was on everyone’s minds. Some claimed that he had something to do with the seize in order to gain complete control, but that train of thought was almost always abandoned. If Sesshomaru wanted to kill his father and human wife in order to become king, he wouldn’t have left the task up to seven humans. He would have slain them himself.
Slots were filled and soon enough the castle was bustling with noise as youkai began commanded tasks. The new Inu-Youkai king was making it a point to make it clear that there would no longer be any humans in the castle. Weakness was something that Sesshomaru refused to be subjected to and he wasn’t going to make any exceptions. Once trashed and wrecked rooms were cleaned, some rebuilt and by sunset everything was in working order.
There were a few of the army soldiers which were sent on secret tasks to roam around the lands filled with forestry. Sesshomaru would take no chances in harboring traitors or conspirators in his kingdom, he would let no one try and take advantage of anything he had, or would have. Sesshomaru’s closest ‘buddy’ Kenichi was one of the men chosen for these missions and the horse youkai was eager to begin his search. It was rumored that Kagura, Sesshomaru’s ex-fiancé was the one who planned the downfall and the Inu-Youkai was thirsty for her blood. The wind sorceress somehow disappeared in the midst of everything and there was no question about the true emotions of the North.
And even though the end result should have led to a war between the two kingdoms, there was one thing that was lacking, something crucial needed in order to start a war and that was concrete evidence. With all of the Shinchinintai dead during the heat of battle, there was no one that could be used to retrieve information from. It was the same for the Lord named Ryouji, who was found slaughtered probably by one of the band of seven. Sure mere humans could create one war, however, Sesshomaru would not go to war over merely hunches, it was about honor and being a powerful leader. He wasn’t a Neanderthal and he wasn’t about to start acting like one either.
Sitting patiently at his newly acquired throne, Sesshomaru listened silently as Myoga, his father’s advisor begged him to reconsider not allowing human workers in the castle. His amber eyes were cold and hard like ice, yet he did not speak, nor did he even move a muscle, but he was in fact paying attention to the flea demon. A part of being king he had to listen to the man under the crown, he didn’t’ have to obey because Sesshomaru obeyed no one but himself. However, if something appealed to him, the Inu-Youkai would take the time to find out more about the intriguing idea. A chiming of bells gave everyone near the castle, the time and by the rings Sesshomaru knew that the day was drawing to a close.
Waiting until Myoga finished his speech, Sesshomaru nodded in consideration before rising to his feet and silently leaving the throne room. There would be no food in the dinning hall for him since he had requested it be brought to his bedchambers earlier (although he very rarely requested anything). Torches had been lit down the hallways and as the sun set in the west, their large fired seduced the air around them, it gave the abandoned halls an eerie dead look.
Nearing his room a faint scent hit his nose that caused him to stop in his tracks and frown. There was nobody around and he knew this for a fact, but he could smell the scent of blood almost as clearly as he could see his clawed fingertips. It didn’t unnerved him or anything, but it did irritate him to no end. Sesshomaru had specifically told a maid with a good nose to search top to bottom for any bodies and the Inu-Youkai could tell that someone had been either over looked or ignored. Standing outside his door the scent grew stronger, tickling his senses, seemingly trying to pull him closer, drawing him to something like the sirens did boats to rocky cliffs.
The door was opened and the scent was lost almost instantly and he could tell that his younger brother had been in his room during a time of distress, it probably hung thickly in the air surrounding him. Braiding his hair quickly to keep it from going everywhere, Sesshomaru opened his balcony doors to remove the foul scent, it was beginning to give him a headache. His breast plate was easily removed and placed on its rack before he pulled off his silk white haori and undershirt and throwing them onto a nearby chair, leaving his bare chest open to any appreciative admirers.
The clinking of dishes let the Inu-Youkai know that his food for supper was a minute or two away and glancing over his shoulder, his amber eyes spotted something that he hadn’t’ noticed before. The secret passage way door off towards the left of his large bed was slightly ajar and claw marks adorned the sides and his eyebrow raised almost curiously. His half brother hadn’t come through the front door like he had assumed InuYasha did and from the depth of the claw marks it was apparent to Sesshomaru that the hanyou had been either carrying something or running from someone. Both answers were perfectly good explanations and at first Sesshomaru almost let the thoughts drop from his mind, but then again he wasn’t one to do such a thing.
There was no motive to why InuYasha entered Sesshomaru’s room in the first place and the Inu-Youkai knew that there was something else that he wasn’t quite catching. Pinching the bridge of his nose with displeasure, he leaned against his wardrobe and took a few deep breaths before his amber eyes went wide and his heart skipped a beat. The scent, it was Rin’s! Berating himself on such idiocy, he jerked opened the doors, breaking the lock with such force that pieces of metal and wood went flying, one of the door hinges giving away and breaking in half.
All he saw was his clothing, but he knew that she was in there, he could now smell her and hear the barely rising and falling of her chest as she breathed. Less than calmly, Sesshomaru pulled out his silk clothes and a pale hand and wrist fell out into the open, hanging in slightly out of the broken wardrobe. A cry of surprise was heard from the door of his chambers as well as a crash as plates of food collided to the ground. He wasted no time pulling Rin’s unconscious body from the wooden box and he felt a silent wave of relief flow throughout his body.
There had been more than a simple chance that the human now in his arms had died, and Sesshomaru had been positive that she hadn’t survived. Few youkai voiced their opinions of InuYasha taking the older human girl and vanishing with her, others saying the poor girl burned to ashes by Renkostu’s flames (her room had been found torched and trashed as if it had been completely ransacked in search of something or someone). And secretly he was happy that she was alive, that she was still with him. These feelings were new and some what unwanted, he was supposed to be a strong demon, a powerful one and having his mind easily swayed by a mere human made him angry. He needed to find a way to get rid of these emotions he felt because it would only lead to trouble. “Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.” Sesshomaru could not allow himself to become blind again, if even only a little, it was unacceptable.
Days had gone by since Sesshomaru had found Rin and the human girl had been asleep for most of them. The poison was found in her blood, yet none of them had to worry (like they would), because it hadn’t been a fatal amount. Sesshomaru ordered that Rin’s room be prepared and moved next to his, he had gone against his words about no humans living in the castle and at first there were a few completely outraged demons. However, Sesshomaru did not bat even an eyelash as he gave a speech about the honor of his father, and made them believe that Rin’s staying was his duty to the memory of his father and his untimely death.
Once Rin regained consciousness, the castle went back to normal save for a few things. Meager search parties went off in order to look for Kagura and one of two to find InuYasha, but in the end they all came up in vain. There was absolutely nothing to be found and it would have made anyone else go almost insane. While Sesshomaru sat in meetings after meetings, Rin was forced to either stay in her room and read the books the Inu-Youkai supplied her with or learning the traditional dance of the Western Lands. Both of which were demanded of her so either way Rin would be kept extremely busy.
Things continued this way for what seemed like forever until Sesshomaru’s meetings suddenly stopped and Rin found herself at a loss of what to do. She wandered on occasions, never going passed where instructed and in a way she found that she was becoming a slave in the castle she once called home. Things were changing and Rin didn’t know whether or not they were changing for the better or the worst. And for her sake, she prayed that it was something positive.
E/N: Hey long time no see right? Well work has been really hard on me and this week is "Senior crunch weeK" before spring break! I've already finished chapter seven but it's a small chapter. I'm hping that it will be out on Thursday pending on repsonses and hwo I'm feeling and what not.
I still wanna thank everyone who is taking the time to review my stories, including the ones that do not pertain to Fan Fiction. On further note, "Lyrics of Lust" is completed and even I was surprised with the way that it came out. Most descriptive I've done yet! Naturally, I warn you it contains sexually dark contents, but evil goodness that leaves you wondering what kind of sadistic fool I am...
My next days off from work are Thursday and Friday so I'm going to try and write new chapters to everything, though I'm not promising anything at this day and time. Please continue leaving reviews for me! I love you! oooo and I want to let you know that I do not know who that quote came from but ITS SOMEBODY'S! (I'm just not good with names)
