InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Heart Blood and Soul ❯ Sesshomaru; Lord of the Western Lands ( Chapter 11 )

OMG! IT'S SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS NOT SO OFTEN! AN UPDATE BEFORE A MONTH HAS PASSED!
ALright I have long A/N and you all must read the bold part at least to understand something:
Ookami is 3/4 youkai, because Kouga's is youkai while Tama is a hanyou. Secondly hanyou don't have a "true form" but Ookami does because he has enough youkai blood to hold a form. That means he has one, Kouga has one, Shippo has one and Sesshy's family has one. Alright we are all on the same page? Good. Continuing!
Yes I reintroduce Sesshy in this chapter, he plays a role, and you meet his child, Inu-Kana and Inu-Kana's mine so no stealing him you must ask if you need to use him. Also Rin and Sesshomaru may be a bit OOC, actually in one part Sesshomaru is really OOC, but you have to consider that Rin isn't a child anymore and Sesshomaru is now a father so I think that gives him the liberty to act differently.

Thank you Leomae, Jem46, LtlSwimmerGurl and Anonymous Bob for reviewing.

Chapter 11 -Sesshomaru; lord of the Western Lands-
Sesshomaru sat in his office, going over documents about land and the other boring things that rulers must do. After he had taken Rin as his mate and had his heir, he hadn't patrolled as much as he should, leaving must work to documents or his son, who at the present moment was seated opposite himself, looking bored as he usually did.

Inu-Kana was fairly young, only 40 years old <which means he looks 16>, conceived on the night Sesshomaru took Rin as his mate, he wasn't mature enough to take on responsibility of Lord of the Western Lands but he still needed to learn, which is what he was suppose to be doing now.

"Dad, why can't we train? If I'm gonna rule the entire Western Lands I need to be able to wield a sword."

"You're perfectly capable of doing that, it's your diplomatic skills that you need to master, if I didn't know better I'd think you were my brother," Sesshomaru said glancing up over his stack of papers. <I have the oddest urge to give him glasses, you know those square ones that are really thin metal and ahh never mind. I'll muse to myself>

Inu-Kana snorted, "amazing, I act like someone in my family, tell the world."

"Inu, if you must be so disagreeable, then at least do it when you spend time with your mother, or Jaken."

Inu-Kana rolled his eyes, itching to feel his sword on his hip, "mom would just tell you and Jaken's not as fun to torture now," he paused, "he doesn't whine anymore, it's unnerving."

Sesshomaru resisted the urge to roll his eyes, finally looking up from the document he had stopped reading when Inu-Kana had started complaining, "then find your mother, you don't have the patience today to continue this task."

"Why can't we train? I'm stronger than I was last time, and all my wounds are healed," Inu-Kana pleaded.

"Inu-Kana, maybe when I finish going over this document. Why don't you go patrol the land."

Inu-Kana's eyes brightened, "you mean, you'll let me do it alone, without anyone watching me?"

"Yes, haven't I done that before?" Sesshomaru asked setting the document down.

"No, you always send Jaken or Ah-Un after me."

"Then go. Be back by sundown and then tomorrow I want to hear no complaining."

"Yes sir," Inu-Kana said giving a mock salute before rushing out the door.

"And don't forget to bring Hijin Kesso! <Inu-Kana's sword, named after Inuyasha's attack, 'blades of blood' in the dub>" Sesshomaru called, sighing as all he got was a wave, "sometimes I wonder why I even bother."

"Oh, does even Sesshomaru have second thoughts?" a womanly voice teased, the youkai showed herself smiling and taking the seat her son previously held.

"Rin, you know they aren't second thoughts, they are merely, musings," he said picking up the document again.

His mate laughed lightly, moving beside him, taking the document, "you work too hard Sesshomaru-sama. Sometimes I think you're still that arrogant youkai who wouldn't accept my aid, when you needed it mind you," she chided lightly, all her action were light, much as Lady of the Western Lands should have.

"Rin, what have I said about calling me Sesshomaru-sama, you are my mate. You don't need to be so formal with me," he said letting her curl up on his lap.

"I'm sorry, it's habit," she answered, "have you told him yet?"

"About?" Sesshomaru asked, running his hands over his mate's stomach.

Rin rolled her eyes, "you know about what! I guess that means you haven't told him."

"Of course I haven't, he has a nose, let him use it," Sesshomaru exclaimed calmly, nestling Rin closer to his body.

Rin just rolled her eyes, "where did you send him?"

"Just to patrol the lands. He has to be back by sunset so I will train with him tomorrow. Since we have some time," he purred.

She smiled but pulled away from her mates warmth, "I'm going to enjoy the light while I still can. Before you get too overprotective of me."

Sesshomaru looked indifferent as he picked up the file he had been trying to read, "don't wander too far, Inu-Kana is still out so I'm keeping the shield down. And if you see Jaken, tell him to report here as soon as his little toad legs can carry him."

Rin frowned, "that's not a nice thing to say to the only help you're probably going to ever have." Sesshomaru said nothing in response and she just shut the door, knowing that he would be more attentive after he finished his stupid obsession with work. <He has OCD!>
*~*~*~*~*
Inu-Kana looked around the forest that surrounded his home, the place that he grew up in. He knew this part of the wood better than any part. Sure he had grown up with no one but it didn't matter, he had smelt his mother, she was with child. He didn't know why they, his parents, hadn't told him yet. Did they not think he would be happy? Whatever the reason it didn't matter. He would wait patiently for they to tell him about it, no need to rush them.

He looked up at the sound, his eyes met with the cold brown eyes of a female in a youkai exterminator outfit on. Her boomerang was strapped to her back, while her hand held the handle of it lightly, "Inu-Kana," she addressed him.

He nodded, his hand landing on Hijin Kesso, "who are you?"

"That is none of your concern, I come to speak to you about your mother."

"What about her?"

"She has been kidnapped."

Inu-Kana looked at Sango for a couple of seconds before he tossed his head back and let out a short laugh, "that's impossible exterminator. My mother is in my father's castle, not only that but she is with pup, so dad won't let her out of his sight much less his range of scent."

"I will show her to you if you wish," Sango said raising her hand and snapping her fingers, the illusion that hid the captured "Rin" now gone, "is this not your mother?"

Inu-Kana looked at "Rin" his eyes rooming her form, finding each cut she possessed, trying to find the trickery in what Sango said. He lifted his head, letting his nose pick up all the scents from the river to his father, but he could not smell his mother, "have you mask her scent?"

"You can smell me youkai, I don't have the scent of magic in me do I?"

"Someone made that illusion. And it was someone powerful since I couldn't even smell the magic radiating from the illusion."

Sango rolled her eyes, "give this message to your father, Sesshomaru, Naraku is back. And he has Rin. That is all, relay that message to your father," Sango said turning heal and walking off, a youkai that had appeared, dragged the now unconscious "Rin" after her.

Inu-Kana ran full speed after them only to be blown back by a barrier that was just erected. He stood up, brandishing Hijin Kesso but sighed, finally smelling the magic, "Father must hear of this."
*~*~*~*~*
Naraku stood on the edge of the northern wall to Sesshomaru's castle, watching behind a protected shield Rin walk the gardens. His scent was masked as was all his minions. He grinned sadistically at the plan he had formed, it was going to be very pleasing when it finally came together. He noted that Sango and Rin had landed beside him, as well as his newest creature, his power almost back to what it was at his peak.

"Does the boy suspect anything?"

"Not yet my lord, but you must hide her scent soon," Naraku silenced her with his raised palm.

"It is already done. Her bodily scent is hidden but it still lingers therefore it makes the impression that she is still there."

"When do I get her master?" the abomination named Baka <this means idiot or stupid, sorry but the creativity has left me> questioned.

"Very shortly. Ah here comes your cue now," he said, tilting his head to Inu-Kana who was running quickly to his father's study, not bothering to pay attention to his surroundings, "go get her now Baka."
*~*~*~*~*~*
Inu-Kana rushed into his father's study, leaving the door open, "Father, father!"

Sesshomaru looked up from the papers, "what is it? Is there something in our lands?"

"I saw an exterminator, and she told me that Naraku is back. And that he has mother, I saw her myself, in the clutches of a monstrous youkai."

Sesshomaru sniffed, smelling his mate's scent that was slowly fading. His eyes bleed red before he ran, grabbing tokijin leaving the only impression that he was ever there, the papers that slowly fell to the floor.

Inu-Kana waited a minute before chasing after his father. He didn't have to go far because once outside he saw his father's true form, the giant dog. He watched helpless as his father barked and growled, every mating call that was possible left Sesshomaru's lips, in hopes of hearing a cry or something back.

Sesshomaru dropped to his hind legs, sending out one finally cry that reached all youkai in Japan, and still he got nothing, not a scent, not a cry, not a whimper out of the person he needed the most. Or so he thought.
*~*~*~*~*
Rin screamed and clawed the back of the ugly monster that had her in its possession. She looked to the side of her, her ears twitching as she picked up each cry from her mate, sounds she never wanted ot hear resonate from his throat.

"Hush up!" the youkai holding her bellowed, digging its claws into her legs, making light blood climb to the surface to meet the air.

"Now, now, we don't want to hurt her majesty do we?" the chilling voice said, the voice that made her nightmares.

"Naraku! It's you! What are you doing alive?!" Rin demanded, not expecting an answer. She had only truly come face to face with Naraku as a young child once or possible twice: Sesshomaru had broken ties with him before she had even come to him, but still his voice rang in her ears loud and clear.

"You will know soon enough dear Rin, you will know all to well," he answered. Rin was about question but then all she saw was darkness, her reflection staring at her with pity.
*~*~*~*~*~*
Inuyasha looked up as did everybody, "Sesshomaru!"

Ryu looked to his father, "why would Sesshomaru call that? Has he lost his mate?"

Inuyasha shook his head, "I'm not sure, we better hurry, whatever makes him cry out like that must be something big. Kaida, get a ride, Kagome hold on!"

Kaida tightened her hold on Ookami's neck and waist, as his hands held the back of her thighs, adjusting her to be comfortable after quickly getting her on his back. She rode him and not her brother, no real reason behind it, he had pulled her onto his back first, and she just wanted to be closer to him. She turned her head, watching the world fly by as she felt Ookami's power through each stride he produced.

She caught sight of red and saw Shippo dashing through the trees, slowly taking on his true form he had acquired some time ago. He changed into a beautiful red fox, with two tails much like Kirara and about the size of her too.

Kouga had changed into his form as well, leaving Tama to run by herself, since she was only a hanyou and didn't want to ride on Kouga's back in that form. Kaida felt Ookami's muscles start to tighten under her grip and she braced herself for his change, which would be smaller than Kouga's but larger than the other wolves in his pack, being 3/4 youkai meant he still had a form unlike her family.

Ryu watched his friend change while his sister rode him, laying on his now wolf back. This was no time to be jealous or over protective, he quickened his pace, chasing after the scream that erupted from his uncle's throat.
*~*~*~*~*
Inu-Kana handed his father tokijin, not wanting to meet his eyes in fear that they would be as sad as he felt his father. Sesshomaru strapped tokijin on his hip, lifting his head at the smell of his half brother and his family.

"My brother approaches. We will wait here from them, they will be of assistance," Sesshomaru said shortly, trying not to pace the worry out of him.

Inu-Kana had only heard stories of his uncle and his cousins so he was intrigued at the fact that he would meet them. He sniffed the air, smelling three inu-hanyou, three wolves, one kitsune and one human. He didn't know who the human was but he never disliked them, his mother was a former human of course.

Two wolves came into view, as did a red fox and three inu-hanyou. Inu-Kana also noticed that another hanyou was standing by one of the wolves legs, her head just short of the wolves shoulder, while the human he had smelt laid on top of the other wolves back, that one about the size of a horse.

The eldest hanyou stepped forward, letting the woman riding his back land on her own two feet, as he unstrapped his sword, sticking it into the ground in a sign of peace. Inu-Kana watched his father do the same and then nod for him to follow as the younger hanyou dressed in black followed suit.

"Sesshomaru," he acknowledged.

"Inuyasha," Sesshomaru replied looking at each person his brother traveled with, "your pack is nearly as motley as it use to be. But you only have one human with you."

Inuyasha set his eyes to a glare, "we aren't here to discuss my traveling company. What did you howl about?"

Sesshomaru glanced at Kouga and Ookami, then Shippo, "tell your son and the two wolves to get in human form, then we shall talk."

Kouga slipped back into his human shell, as did Ookami and Shippo. Kaida slipped down off of Ookami's back but she still held onto his shoulder before he moved her in front of him, his arms resting protectively around her.

Sesshomaru sighed and leaned against a tree, "Naraku has returned."

"We know."

"No, it's not that that worries me, he has taken, my mate."
*~*~*~*~*
Rin awoke to a cool cloth on her forehead. She raised her hand to touch her hurt forehead but it was pushed aside, "you mustn't touch it, it hold miasma. If you do it'll spread," a voice scolded her.

She looked at the source and saw the eyes of Sango, a friend of Inuyasha, her brother in law, "Sango, where are we?"

"Naraku's castle," was her short reply as she stood and left without another word, almost as if her actions were mechanical. Rin was about to chase her friend, but when her hand touched the ground to push herself up, it landed on dirt and ash.

"Do you know what that is my lady?" a voice mocked, "that's you, that's the you I'm going to replace."

Rin was about to question before she felt a prick and then nothing at all, as plans and memories she didn't live entered her mind. Yet they were all hers.

Naraku looked at the slumped inu-youkai and smirked, "so much better than the reborn bodies. Sleep well my Rin, you will need that strength to kill your beloved family," he looked over to his mate, "what?"

"She is with child, mate. Sesshomaru will be," Naraku hushed her with a chaste kiss.

"I know and Sesshomaru will not do anything. The child will dead before morning. The miasma will do it's job, killing the life inside her."
