InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Nisshouken ❯ Enter Sesshoumaru ( Chapter 2 )

Ack! Forgot the Disclaimer! Me No Own, You No Sue, I Make NO Money. I do own Watari, Nishi, Chimitsu, and Megumi though.

 

“Sesshoumaru!” Sesshoumaru turned to see who would dare address him dishonorably. His mother's scent hit him before he even looked up and inwardly he sighed. Chimitsu, Lady of the Western Lands, had been staying with him in his castle ever since he stopped traveling the lands, ever since he heard of Rin's death. The grief was surprising. He mourned her deeply, never outwardly of course because such emotions did not befit a lord of his stature, but he allowed himself to miss her whenever the scent of berries or forget-me-nots floated in the breeze.

 

“Are you even listening to me?” His mother's sharp voice snapped his attention back to her. He raised his eyebrow in question and she huffed in annoyance. “I said that the Lady of the Eastern Lands is at the gate and we must go meet her.” Sesshoumaru nodded affirmatively and stood. “Oh, I'm so excited! I'm overjoyed that you finally capitulated into me finding you a mate! She's simply lovely, the pups between you will be exceedingly strong and beautiful.”

 

“Did you contact the nakoudo?” Megumi the nekohanyou nakoudo was gifted with a sight from the Kamis and was much sought after in negotiations of marriage between nobles. She condemned very few marriages, the one between Sesshoumaru's parents being one. The political gain had been overwhelming though so the advice was ignored, but his father had refused to ever formally mate his mother, leaving that honor to his human bride. His mother had never taken that well.

 

“Do we really need her? She's not so important.” Chimitsu was pouting a little, but Sesshoumaru was immune to such looks.

 

“I figured you wouldn't. That is why I had Jaken invite her two moons ago. She said she would arrive today.” Chimitsu looked faintly insulted, but Sesshoumaru really didn't care. He valued the nakoudo's opinion, she had guided him away from bad matches in the past and he was in her debt.

 

“And arrive I did, good morning Sesshoumaru-sama, Chimitsu-sama,” The blue haired woman bowed in a flourish, her purple and gold kimono flowing gracefully behind her. She waltzed up to inuyoukai placing a delicate hand on his cheek, staring deeply into his eyes. “You have lost love once in concern, do not scorn it when she returns to you. She is a gift in many pieces.” Sesshoumaru absorbed this piece of information, secretly wondering what the hell she was talking about.

 

“And to answer your questions Chimitsu-sama, the match would be good, but do not deny what has already been in order to fill what you believe should be.” The hanyou turned away, stepping onto her cloud form. “Remember what I told you Sesshoumaru-sama.” She threw over her shoulder casually before ascending into the clouds. Sesshoumaru pondered on what her cryptic message meant.

 

“Well, she approved.” Chimitsu remarked dryly, staring at her son as he gazed after her. He nodded and turned to walk down the stairs. “Wait, what about invitations? Everyone will want to know.”

 

“Jaken will take care of it when he returns.” With that, Sesshoumaru left his mother standing in the hallway and ventured to meet his bride-to-be.

“...So that's how we got here.” Rin finished in a flourish. Jaken gaped open mouthed at the woman sitting across from him. Nishi and Watari shared secret smiles with each other, happily munching on brunch. Watari stretched and reached for another piece of rabbit, being a strapping young man of about fourteen, he reminded Rin deeply of Kohaku when he was traveling with them.

 

“How do you make your wares?” Jaken asked curiously, looking around in the semi-spacious hut.

It looked good for a home made with no superior male figure bringing in the income. Rin seemed to have done well for herself.

 

“Well, we sell anything extra. Between Watari and Nishi we always have extra food, and I make clothing and jewelery. We do well for ourselves, especially in the winter months.” Rin readily supplied, having forgiven Jaken on the way back to the hut.

 

“Nishi.” Jaken spoke, and the child looked up, a bit weary. “Please..” He paused, this was hard for him. “Please forgive this Jaken for his transgression, if you are Rin's pack then you are... also of mine own.” Nishi tilted her head a little, before smiling and hopping over Watari to engulf Jaken in a hug.

 

“I forgives you Jaken! We can be friends now right?”

 

“Yes, I suppose we are... friends.” Rin and Watari shook their heads, Jaken had no idea what he had just resigned himself to. Nishi let out a whoop of joy, her inner youkai smirking to itself. Fresh game.

 

“Let's go play! As we are official friends, I must teach you rules of the game.”
