Chapter 10: Decision of the Council

 

Naitsuusha - betrayer

Eimai - wise

 

Arriving at the castle they received curious looks from the heavenly beings of the court, especially Kagome, Sango, Miroku and Sesshoumaru. Many of the angels had not ever seen humans before - most interested in the tall, handsome Sesshoumaru.

 

“He was a demon?” one asked another; the gossip going around quicker than a rabbit being chased by a fox.

 

“Apparently, I heard that the Lady Mitsukai bested him in battle and turned him mortal. He seems too lovely though to be either,” answered the second, casting lustful eyes over Sesshoumaru as he passed.

 

Lady Joshin ushered them into her main hall calling to her servants, “Make our guests comfortable, have rooms and food prepared.” She then turned to the group, “The servants will show you to your rooms and the bath, if you're so inclined. I will send word when you are to come to council. Now if you will excuse me and my daughter…”

 

“Of course Lady,” replied Sesshoumaru, bowing respectfully as she left with Mitsukai and the Idaten, the others of his group bowing as well.

 

They were escorted to the back of the castle passing many lovely rooms. They each had their own room but Kagome and Sango preferred to stay together so they decided to share Sango's as it had the nicer view and its own private bath. Shippo cried to join them and they allowed it.

 

All of the rooms were not as opulent as one would expect, but they were large and full of elegant furniture. Raised futons covered with fine linins and cushions, low tables for eating and each had large windows that let in copious amounts of light and air.

 

Miroku took the first room beside where the girls would be sleeping. Inuyasha's was across from theirs and Sesshoumaru took the room furthest down the hall, leaving two empty rooms between himself and Inuyasha's.

 

The large bath area had a huge pool of water, large enough for at least twenty people. The steam rose in the air making it slightly foggy with many interesting smelling bottles lined up around the pool for cleaning hair and skin. The whole pool was surrounded by tall potted trees providing a closed in, secretive atmosphere. Tinted skylights in the ceiling only allowed a small amount of light to come through the hazy air, giving the room a surreal quality.

 

Sesshoumaru decided that some time in the pool would do wonders for his tired aching muscles, so after everyone was settled, he left his room to go and sink into the hot water, sighing contentedly. He wasn't in there long when he heard the door open.

 

“Inuyasha.” he greeted his brother, not bothering to move.

 

“Hey,” Inuyasha replied shyly. He stood looking at his brother through the murky air. Kami, he's so…so…beautiful. Inuyasha began to get aroused but was unsure if he should go to Sesshoumaru or not. Maybe he won't want to after I bit him, he worried.

 

His thoughts were disturbed as he heard, “Inuyasha are you just going to stand there staring at me or are you going to bathe.”

 

“I'm coming,” he replied a bit gruffly, blushing hotly at being caught looking. He undressed, his manhood slightly erect and slipped into the water beside Sesshoumaru, sitting on the ledge inside the gigantic tub. He grabbed a bottle from the rim of the pool and gave it a quick sniff. He poured the contents out onto his hands and began to rub it into his head vigorously, closing his eyes so the soap wouldn't get in them. He soon felt another hand in his hair.

 

“Let me do it, you're making a mess of your hair,” Sesshoumaru said, moving behind him to gently massage his scalp and tease the tangles out with his fingers. Inuyasha couldn't stop the moan that came to his lips at the sensations or the hardening of his organ. He soon was moaning louder as he felt lips on his neck and shoulder kissing gently.

 

Sesshoumaru ran his tongue across Inuyasha's shoulder and then nibbled his way back towards his collar bone. He was not sure why he had instigated this, when Inuyasha had first came in it was not something that had been in his mind. He assumed it had something to do with being claimed. The feelings of wanting to please his brother were very strong.

 

“Lean back into the water, you need to get the soap out,” he whispered gently into Inuyasha's ear, causing it to twitch at the sensation of warm breath blowing across it.

 

Inuyasha dunked down into the water, his head between his brother's legs, face up in the pool, as Sesshoumaru used his hand to swirl his hair under the water removing all the soap. He had his eyes closed enjoying the attention when he felt soft lips cover his own and a warm tongue pressing against his mouth.

 

He reached his hands up and put them behind Sesshoumaru's neck, pulling him into a deeper, hungrier kiss using his own tongue in response. He could feel his brother's erection pressing into the back of his neck under the water so he rolled over, standing with his feet on the bottom of the pool. He lifted Sesshoumaru's hips out of the water and put his mouth over the hard organ, beginning to suck gently, moving his head down slowly, getting Sesshoumaru to gasp out and grip the back of his head.

 

He pulled back, sucking on the tip as if he was drinking from a straw before again going down. He kept up a steady rhythm using his tongue to drag along the shaft as his head came up, enjoying the way Sesshoumaru moaned and twitched from what he was doing.

 

He was totally in control of his youkai this time and did not have any urges to take what he wanted quickly or by force. He realized that this was probably because his brother had initiated their lovemaking before his own baser instincts could have kicked in. Would he have done this if I hadn't marked him, he wondered momentarily before his mind went blank as Sesshoumaru rubbed and flicked his ear causing that creeping sensation he loved to travel down his back.

 

Inuyasha began to suck harder and faster, growling gently around his brother's cock.

 

Sesshoumaru leaned his head back as he felt his orgasm rising in his groin from the vibrations that were surrounding him, trying not to push his lover's head down too hard. Panting and groaning he came into Inuyasha's mouth who promptly sucked and licked him dry. Releasing his hips he allowed Sesshoumaru to relax back into the water, grinning at the look of total bliss on his brother's face.

 

Inuyasha slid in behind Sesshoumaru so he was sitting on the ledge, his own erection grumbling at being ignored. He lifted his brother up and sat him down on his lap positioning himself at the small opening. Sesshoumaru began to gently sit down on the waiting organ, going slowly and gently, Inuyasha allowing him to take his time so as not to hurt his brother's human body.

 

Inuyasha was moaning at the slow entrance of his cock, “Ahhh, that feels fucking great,” he groaned out as his brother finally made it all the way down his shaft.

 

Sesshoumaru began to move up and down gripping his brother's shaft with his internal muscles as he came up, relaxing as he went down. Inuyasha grabbed his hips, helping him to move faster, leaning forward and running his tongue and teeth against Sesshoumaru's back.

 

Sesshoumaru was again hard and used his own hand to stroke himself as he fucked his brother. Inuyasha was receiving just enough sensations to make him feel crazy, but not quite enough to allow him the release he wanted. He stood up, turning with his brother still impaled upon him, so Sesshoumaru was leaning with his chest over the rim of the pool and he was standing in the water behind him. He used his feet to spread Sesshoumaru's legs further apart as he began to increase the depth of the stokes and the tempo of his thrusts reaching around in front of Sesshoumaru and taking him in his hand, pumping in rhythm with his heaving body .

 

Both were gasping and moaning, panting hard. Inuyasha pressed into his brother further striking his most sensitive spot and licked his tongue over the marks on his neck causing Sesshoumaru to orgasm for a second time. The feel of those tight, hot muscles clamping down on him as he came, caused Inuyasha to go over the edge as well, and he shot his seed deep into his brother growling with pleasure.

 

Finished, they both relaxed back onto the shelf, Inuyasha putting his arm around his brother turned lover and holding him close. He gave him a quick peck on the neck “You should let me do your hair.”

 

“You will just tangle it,” Sesshoumaru replied, grinning slightly, the loving contact he was receiving was making him feel cherished and needed and he really didn't want to move.

 

“Keh, I know how to wash hair,” Inuyasha grumped back at him with no real force, pushing him off the shelf so Sesshoumaru was in front of him. He grabbed the bottle he had used earlier and gently massaged in the soap, using his claws to scratch gently into his brother's scalp and hair getting it clean. After rinsing, he again used his claws to coax any snarls out, amazed at how soft his brother's hair was. I wonder if it's this soft in his demon form. He began to braid the long, dark hair not wanting to end their time together, thinking.

 

“Would it be so bad to stay a human?” he asked his brother.

 

“For me, yes. I need to return to my own self,” he replied, wondering where Inuyasha was heading with this question.

 

“If you return to your demon form, will you go back to the western lands?” He finished the braid with a tie that was in one of the baskets by the pool.

 

“Yes, that is my duty and I have Rin to care for.”

 

“What if I don't want you to go?” Inuyasha asked, not caring for the idea of everything going back to the status quo.

 

Sesshoumaru turned so he was facing his brother. “I cannot stay with you,” he replied gently, looking into his eyes. “Neither can you come with me.”

 

“So we just go back to fighting?” he asked, getting a bit angry. He was more hurt than mad thinking that his brother didn't want to be with him.

 

“No,” answered Sesshoumaru sadly, he did not want to leave Inuyasha either but knew they could not continue as they were now. “Inuyasha, would you stop your quest for the shikon shards for me? He was met with silence. “Would you give up your miko wench?”

 

When Inuyasha again didn't reply he said, “That is why we cannot stay together, we both have different destinies.” He reached up and gently caressed his brother's cheek. Inuyasha leaned his face into the touch not knowing what to say.

 

“Let us just enjoy what we have for now, tomorrow will take care of itself,” Sesshoumaru stated, giving his brother a small smile. They kissed gently and got out of the pool wrapping the large fluffy towels that had been provided for them and heading back to their rooms, clothes in hand.

 

Inuyasha hesitated at the door to his brother's room as Sesshoumaru went to enter.

 

Sesshoumaru raised an eyebrow looking at him quizzically. “Do you wish to stay the night?” he asked, realizing what Inuyasha must want.

 

Inuyasha just nodded, his face turning crimson. Sesshoumaru gave his blushing brother a smirk. “Just can't get enough of me, eh?”

 

“Don't be so full of yourself,” he returned, stepping though the door just as Miroku came out of his room. Neither brother noticed the odd look that crossed the monks face as they closed the door behind them.

Naitsuusha saw a chance to advance his plans to take over as lord of these lands. He had been very patient, bedding both Mitsukai and Joshin, hoping to woo one or the other and become lord by marriage. He had been playing a dangerous game by becoming consort to both Tenshinoyounashoujo. If either found out he would be put to death or worse. Now with Mitsukai's impetuousness, he saw an opportunity to rid himself of one of the women.

 

Being the eldest of the Idaten he was of course on the council and he now had a legal way to get rid of the younger angel. He was unsure if her attempt to kill the former demon lord would constitute a death penalty, as he was not a natural born mortal, but there certainly would be some kind of punishment and he would get to help decide what that punishment would be. He was hoping the council would take what he was going to propose into consideration. He smirked slightly at the thought of it and then left his rooms to head to the council chambers.

 

<><><><><><><><>& lt;><><><><><><><><>< ><><><><><><><><><> ;<><><><><><><><><>&l t;><><><>

 

Sesshoumaru and the rest of the group were called to chambers early in the afternoon. They followed one of the servants down the hall listening to his instructions. “You will not speak unless you are spoken to and you will show utmost respect at all times,” he commanded to Miroku, Sango and Kagome. “You are here only as a courtesy because you are companions of Lord Sesshoumaru, and being mortal, you really have no say in the proceedings.”

 

Kagome was getting irritated at the angels `better than thou' tone and was going to give him a piece of her mind when she caught the look Sesshoumaru tossed her and grudgingly kept her mouth shut.

 

The servant then turned to Shippo and Inuyasha, “The young demon must sit with the others, he may watch the proceedings but he must not interrupt. You may stand with your brother but do not overstep your bounds.”

 

“Feh,” Inuyasha huffed, with a frown. Fucking idiotic little…, his obnoxious thoughts were interrupted when they stopped before a set of heavy double doors which opened into a large circular room. Raised benches went around the room in a horseshoe shape leaving the marbled floor open for debaters. The council members were already seated and Mitsukai was standing in the center of the room awaiting them.

 

The servant ushered Kagome, Shippo, Sango and Miroku off to an area that had some small benches for them to sit and watch. Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru stepped to the middle of the floor beside Mitsukai waiting for the proceedings to start. Sesshoumaru elegantly swept the braid that his brother had put back into his hair this morning behind him, not bothering to acknowledge the Tenshinoyounashoujo at his side. She gave him a foul look and then turned her head towards the seated council members.

 

“Lady Mitsukai,” called out the oldest of the council members. His hair was very grey and wrinkles lined his serious face. “You have been accused of trying to kill a mortal, how do you plead?”

 

“Not guilty, he is not a natural born. I turned him mortal for his sin of theft of the sword of heaven.”

 

“I am no thief, nor is my father. The sword Tenseiga was given to Inu no Tashio by the lord Tenjin for his aid in defeating an enemy of your lands,” Sesshoumaru stated, keeping the anger he was feeling inside from entering his voice. Inuyasha was beginning to growl beside him and Sesshoumaru gave him a quick nudge with his elbow.

 

“I know of this,” replied the elder. He had been around when the two lords had been friends, and in fact, had been part of the army that had fought the demon that day. “I saw the sword passed to the dog lord.”

 

“Why wasn't I told?” Mitsukai asked angrily, looking directly at her mother who was seated in the middle of the council members.

 

“It was not deemed to be of importance, if you had come to me I would have told you,” her mother replied scathingly. “You have always been too impulsive for your own good.”

 

“The charge is still pending,” announced the old man. “We must decide if Lord Sesshoumaru is due the privileges of a mortal.”

 

Sesshoumaru spoke up, “I was unfairly changed, and even though I was demon, I am now human. I state to you that she did break your law.”

 

Inuyasha smirked at the female angel as a look of worry crossed her face. Ha, she's in for it now.

 

“Perhaps we should take a short recess to discuss what we have heard,” spoke up Naitsuusha. Now was the time for him to put forth his idea.

 

“Very well, we will reconvene in one hour.” The elder stood and rose; Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha and Mitsukai bowed low as the council left.

 

“I will never believe that my father willingly gave up the Tenseiga,” she stated venomously, her silver eyes flashing.

 

“Believe it or not, it makes no difference, it is the truth,” returned Sesshoumaru as he turned his back to her and walked away, leaving a steaming, mad angel staring daggers at him.

 

<><><><><><><><>& lt;><><><><><><><><>< ><><><><><><><><><> ;<><><><><><><><><>&l t;><><><>

 

The angels retired to their private chambers and sat around a large table which held a large glass orb. “Eimai, you saw the sword change hands?” questioned the leader of the Shugotenshi.

 

The eldest of the council answered, “Yes, with my own eyes, the sword was definitely given to the Inu no Tashio.”

 

“So do we allow it to go back to the earth realm with a demon?” asked Naitsuusha unbelievably.

 

“That is what we are here to decide,” declared Joshin. “Has he misused the sword?” she asked as she tapped the orb. The council all leaned forward to get a better view in the swirling mist of the ball.

 

“It seems he has used the powers of the sword twice on his two companions.”

 

“Yes,” stated Joshin, “once for the child and once for the toad. I do not see that as being abusive of its powers.”

 

“Yes, but, with that sword he has the powers of life and death, is that something we wish to leave into those of the realm of earth? What if he loses the sword to another, someone who would abuse those powers?”

 

The others thought over what Naitsuusha had just said. “I believe that the sword is in rightful hands,” Joshin stated after a pause. “He has managed to keep it safe these many years and it is rightfully his.”

 

Others in the council did not agree, they thought the Tenseiga too valuable and dangerous to be taken out of the heavenly realm, whether Tenjin gave it or not.

 

“And what of Mitsukai?” asked the Shugotenshi. “Is she to be unpunished in this? She is the one who took it into her own hands to retrieve the sword without all the facts and changed a demon into a mortal, whom she then tried to kill.”

 

Naitsuusha spoke up, “It was a spell that changed him and he can be returned to his former self.”

 

“There must be some punishment, she can not be allowed to do as she pleases without direction from us,” stated Eimai.

 

“What if we allowed battle?” asked Naitsuusha slyly. Now was the time to spring his plan.

 

“What do you propose?” asked Joshin.

 

“I propose that Lady Mitsukai and Lord Sesshoumaru battle for the right to carry the Tenseiga, the stronger will be the right one to safeguard the sword.”

 

“We can not allow that, he is still mortal. If we change him into his demon form while he is here, he may seek vengeance upon us. He would be too strong as his demon self and we would not be able to defend ourselves from his mortal companions.”

 

“I think there is another way to level the playing field and to give Lady Mitsukai a just punishment.” Naitsuusha had to hide a grin; this was working out better than he thought. “Let us turn the Lady mortal.” He waited as the other members looked at him with surprise and waited for their reaction.

 

“What if one or the other is killed in this battle?” asked Joshin.

 

“That is not our concern, as they would both be mortals. The stronger would deserve the sword and the right to return to their normal self.”

 

“I agree, I think that this is a fair and just way to settle the matter,” stated Eimai. The others nodded their assent.

 

“So be it,” Joshin said firmly, standing. “Let us inform them of our decision.”

 

Naitsuusha was sure that the female angel would not be able to defeat the human Sesshoumaru. He has had more time to become used to this form; she would have to battle soon after becoming mortal. There is no way she can defeat him and I can concentrate on just one woman.
