Ch.1: New Life
"Father, you're home!"
Sesshoumaru ran to the tired form of his father, arms outstretched with the intention of receiving a hug. It had been days since he had last seen him.
"I am not in the mood Sesshoumaru. Go elsewhere and play. I don't care where just stay away from me."
"But-"
The cold glare he received from his father told him to do as he was told without any objections. He looked down, dejected at the cold stone floor and bowed before swiftly leaving.
"Yes sir."
Turning to his waiting servant, Inutaisho barked in irritation.
"Jaken, go and prepare the hot springs for use. Start dinner and make sure the wounded soldiers are tended to."
The green toad bowed deeply.
"Yes my Lord."
---------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------
In the hot springs…
Inutaisho took the time to relax in the steaming bath of water. He was not in the best of moods. Today, he had lost many men in battle. The fools ran straight into a trap killing a good percentage of them. Though in the end, they won with the enemy retreating. He rose to exit the hot springs, his delicate nose catching a lovely aroma. Dinner was ready.
It went by rather quickly.
After dinner, everyone went to his or her own separate rooms. InuTaisho decided to have some fun with his mate, after all, he deserved it or at least that is what he thought. When they got to their room, he kissed her rather fiercely and pushed her down on the bed. No words spoken, he quickly disposed them of their clothing. He delved his tongue deep into her mouth, not at all being mindful of his fangs. Without any hint of warning, he surged forward. She could only moan in pain.
“Please. Inutaisho, Stop…”
Her complaining was beginning to spoil his mood. Abruptly, he got up to leave quickly becoming frustrated; he grabbed his garments and headed for the door slamming it behind him forcefully.
He would just have to go elsewhere.
---------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------
Every night for the next few weeks, he would leave the domain of the castle to go and rut with some of the women in the nearby human village. Sesshoumaru, being the curious dog that he was, decided to go and follow him on his nightly escapades.
His journey led him to a village that was close by and smelled distinctly of humans. ‘Why would father be going to a human villa-’ He now saw why and suddenly wished he hadn‘t. Inutaisho was with some human and they were mating! Sesshoumaru gasped as he saw his father look up with an expression full of pleasure and growl. As fast as he could, he ran all the way back heading towards his home.
‘How. Could. He.’
---------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------
She was standing in the courtyard next to the small pond she liked to visit to feed the fish, when Sesshoumaru got there.
“Mother!”
She looked so peaceful in her own world. He hated the fact that he had to be the one to ruin it with what he was about to tell her. Looking up she saw her son running towards her with a look of distress on his face.
“Sesshoumaru what is the matter?”
He had no idea where to start; it would hurt all the same.
---------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------
Deep into the forest, it was pitch black making them be on extreme alert, only relying on smell and sound. She had never been in these parts before, but she didn’t have the time to think. On instinct, she just- ran.
“Sesshoumaru, keep up with me. Don’t fall behind.”
He barely heard the minute sound in the already too quiet forest. He strained his ears as they moved silently and swiftly through the dense forestry. As soon as her son had told her of what he had witnessed, she decided in that instant to leave the castle and take her son with her.
---------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------
InuTaisho's POV
“Thank you Jaken. You are a most loyal servant. Remind me to reward you for your loyalty in the future. That is all, you are dismissed.”
His voice was laced with venom.
“Y- yes my lord"
Stuttered the little green toad; he had never seen his master this angry. Inutaisho was beyond pissed. He was seething with anger, digging his elongated claws into the arms of the wooden chair he currently sat in.
How dare that bitch even think of leaving HIM!
She would pay with her pathetic life!
---------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------
Jaken’s POV
Jaken had overheard the conversation transpiring between mother and son, and was utterly shocked when she proclaimed that she was leaving Inutaisho. His master would be furious! She would surely suffer the consequences if he found out about this.
Jaken really did not care what would happen to her just as long as he got recognition for telling his master. This was his one chance to look good in his master’s eyes and not looked down upon for the true coward he was. However, he couldn’t help the small twinge of guilt that pulled at him.
Suddenly he regretted ever telling Inutaisho, but quickly put that feeling aside. After all, there was nothing he could do now.
---------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------
She stopped running when she didn’t hear any footsteps trailing behind.
“Sesshoumaru… Sessh?”
The young prince had been knocked out cold and was lying unconscious on the ground not too far away.
“Tsk... Tsk... Tsk... Tsk.”
Whirling around, she prepared to strike at the source of the sound. However, she was unprepared to see whom it was coming from.
She failed to suppress a surprised intake of breath.
“INU- I- Inutaisho what are you-”
“SAVE IT!”
She was unaware of her body suddenly trembling in fear.
“I wa- I was just umm…”
“Just what?”
He cocked his head to the side when she didn’t answer.
“Planning on going somewhere?”
He smirked as the sign of recognition registered on her face. Still she remained silently frozen to the spot.
“But why? I’m OH SO CURIOUS as to why you could even THINK that you could ESCAPE ME!”
The ground shook at the intensity of his voice.
She was terrified beyond words but stood proudly facing him.
“I can‘t do this anymore! I’m sick of the abuse and I found out you’ve been fucking some human village WHORE-”
A hard backhanded slap across the mouth muffled her last words. The sound it made echoed through the night.
“Watch your tongue Wench!”
Holding her bruised mouth, she managed to mumble out,
“Who is she? I will kill her! I’ll-”
“What's that? I don’t think I clearly heard you.”
She dropped to her knees wide-eyed trying to say something but all that came out was a gurgle and then a fountain of blood. He had slit her throat mercilessly, killing her, a smile of satisfaction on his face.
He took a sidelong glance at his handy work before saying to himself,
“I guess I’ll have to get some of the servants to clean that up.”
---------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------
Heavy silver lashes struggled to flutter open.
“Ungh”
With a groan, the inuyoukai attempted to sit up but only succeeded in making his throbbing head ache worse.
‘What happened? ...Where-’
All of the events from the night before came flooding back simultaneously. The last thing he remembered was being hit hard on the back of his skull by and someone else calling out his name...
“Mother!”
He sprang out of bed, getting up in a hurry, ignoring the dull ache in his head. He set off to her room only to find her not there. Instead, there sat his father pretending to look distraught.
“Father, Where’s okaasan?”
Inutaisho turned towards his son and put on his best act.
“Sesshoumaru- I’m sorry, but she was found lifeless in the forest. It appears that she bled to death from a wound to her neck.”
Sesshoumaru began rambling, hesitantly shaking his head.
“What? No. There, there must be some kind of a mistake. She was with me just last night. It’s not true! You’re LYING-”
Inutaisho slapped his son across the face firmly. There was silence.
“I’ll give you time to gather yourself."
He said before walking out of the room like nothing ever happened leaving his weeping son to curl up into a ball.
---------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------
For two weeks straight, in the confinement of his room, Sesshoumaru mourned the death of his mother. He barely ate and had not bathed nor looked at his reflection in a couple of days. Ever so slowly, he was rotting away. Inutaisho was disgusted at the state of his son, weakened in this way and decided that it was time enough for sulking. A week passed by, and he told Sesshoumaru to wait for him in the garden; he had a surprise for him. After being forcefully cleansed, clothed, and fed by unwilling servants, he went into the garden upon his father‘s request. Immediately upon arriving in the one place that held his mother’s memory, he snarled at the intruding figure.
‘What the hell was she doing here, on these lands?… That’s the woman I saw father with.’
InuTaisho appeared from behind her, placing his hand around hers.
“Sesshoumaru, I want you to meet my new mate. This is Izayoi.”
Sesshoumaru stared in shock,
“But father how can this be? This human is a disgrace! Could you not find a suitable demoness? You will be looked down upon. What about your reputation?”
The remark earned him a stern look from his father.
“That, Sesshoumaru, is none of your concern. She is with child and will be very restless. Therefore, I suggest that you make as little trouble for her as possible. Oh, and Sesshoumaru, you WILL learn to respect her!”
Sesshoumaru ran off feeling betrayed once again.
---------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------
Many months passed and finally Inuyasha was born. At first Sesshoumaru loathed him. He couldn’t stand to be around a half-breed and stain his royal blood. But as time passed, the demon came to accept his younger brother for what he was. He never grew to truly like Izayoi but he had to respect her.
Eventually, the two brothers grew to be very fond of each other. Only when others were around did Sesshoumaru treat him as if he were the dirt that soiled his boots. Nevertheless, if he saw that Inuyasha was being treated unfairly by anyone, would he protect his younger sibling.
Sesshoumaru would tease Inuyasha about his ears sometimes; he said they reminded him of a feline type youkai rather than a canine. From then on, Inuyasha would respond to the name kitten when said by his brother and only his brother. Inuyasha knew that in those times he was loved.

"Hey bro, whatcha starin' at?"
Kouga jumped in the air, startled.
"GAH! You scared the crap outta me Ryouga. How about making some noise to let people know you're coming or something! I almost had a heart attack!"
Kouga nearly screamed at his brother as his twin looked off to the side, apparently ignoring him.
"Yea, yeah. Well, maybe if you'd pay attention and stop staring off into space you would notice things. Exactly what were you looking at anyways? You’re drooling.”
Kouga fidgeted under his brothers scrutinizing gaze.
"Uh no-nobody!"
He blurted out. Ryouga gave his brother a questioning look before deciding to drop it.
"Ohhh-kay... Wedgie!"
"Yelp! You bully I'm telling dad!"
Kouga whimpered.
"Tattle-tell!"
"I'll get you Ryouga!"
