InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Sesshoumaru's Mate ❯ Chapter One ( Chapter 2 )

 

Chapter One

 

 

 

The Beginning

 

 

 

“Stupid human female why does she continue to gain favor in Sesshoumaru's presence and I am constantly booted around,” Jaken grumbled, as he followed the great white dog demon he called master as the Inu lord silently walked through the forest contemplating an unknown subject. Even Rin was unusually quiet and demure today. As much as the toad demon hated to admit it but he was starting to miss the little girl's constant bantering. He looked up at his lord as the made their way through the undergrowth, Sesshoumaru-sama continued; now the toad feared that he had been heard and would get another booting. In his own not to quiet thoughts Jaken forgot to look where he was going and promptly walked into the back or his master's leg.

 

Sesshoumaru walked quietly through the forest deep in thought. His mind aimlessly wondered to a battle over two hundred years ago shortly before Inuyasha was born. Two inu females battled with all they had and seemingly to the death. One of those females had been his mother. He remembered how she fought the intruding young upstart, true to their demoness heritage and with abandon seen by few males they fought a battle the was still talked about. A black eye here, a scratch to the shoulder there, a tug on someone's hair and an unearthly screech, the young female had his mother pined to the ground as he and his father watched the bitches fight. The female was young barely 15 in maturity but old even to take a mate, she was fighting his mother to try to gain his favor and had done what no other demoness could claim, beat his mother. Sesshoumaru's thoughts were interrupted when a sent reached his nose that he had not smelled in many years. He paused a moment in his near ceaseless journey.

 

Jaken looked up to apologize to his lord but saw something he had thought was impossible, Sesshoumaru-sama was smiling. He watched as his lord inhaled deeply, enjoying whatever he had smelt. The dog demon changed the directing he was walking in and continued without a word, still smiling.

 

 

Inuyasha watching as Kagome prepared Ramen for the group. He kept his distance after being sat half a dozen times for being to impatient with her and nearly ripping her ugly yellow pack up. Miroku and Sango shared some private moments together which ended all too early with a resounding slap the hanyou snickered at, Miroku will never learn thought Inuyasha. The hanyou's thoughts turned back to the day's events, they had battled another one of Naraku's puppets, boring, nothing interesting has been happening to them for the past few days.

 

“Kagome when is the ramen going to be done?” he asked for what was probably the hundredth time.

 

“It will be ready when I damn well get it ready, now shut up already or you can hunt for your own food,” Said a very angry Miko.

 

Everyone gasped and took a step back from the red-faced girl from the future. For one she never cursed and she usually had more control then this.

 

“Inuyasha”

 

Ut-Oh he knew that tone, his ears instantly when back.

 

“Um, yes, Kagome” he said deciding to get the inevitable over with.

 

“Find your own dinner,” the furiated Miko said as she calmly walked away taking her bathing supplies with her and Sango and Shippou.

 

“Damn it”

 

`Inuyasha”

 

“What”

 

“SIT”

 

The two girls giggled as they heard the hanyou crash into the thorn bush he had just been passing as he had tried to follow them.

 

“You will never learn will you Inuyasha.” Said a certain perverted monk who didn't heed his own advice.

 

Sesshoumaru soundlessly walked through the forest as the sun started to set. His expression was neutral as usual but he was in deep contemplation over recent events. He had recently given up his claim on Tetsusaiga and in the process gained his right arm back and a new weapon from his own body, Bakusaiga. A giggle from the behind the Great Inu Lord broke his concentration. Sesshoumuro looked behind him and saw the young Rin picking flowers. He sniffed the air, and wrinkled his nose in disgust the scent that he had been following had disappeared; replacing it was the scent of an unwashed Rin.

 

“Are you coming Rin, it is time for you to take a bath.”

 

“Yes, Lord Sesshoumuro.” Rin said with a beaming smile.

 

Sesshoumuro continued to walk through the forest during the waning light, while a certain toad demon retainer grumbled about a smelly girl and why the hell was she braiding flowers in Ah-Un's mane. He never had to worry about knowing what Rin was up to as his sensitive ears could always hear Jaken grumbling somewhere behind him. Sesshoumuro had located water and was now making his way to the nearby hot spring. Jaken started to grumble even more when he realized that his Lord had passed up two cold streams in favor of traveling further to warmer waters of a hot spring. The toad wanted to get this over with as fast as possible and get back to going to wherever his Lord was going.

 

When Sesshoumuro noiselessly walked into the small clearing that contained to hot spring, he realized he had made a huge mistake. In his distracted state he had forgotten to come up to the hot spring from downwind, thus making sure that no one was already using it or laying in ambush of the next user. He stood looking at what he thought was the most beautiful creature he had ever seen.

 

Jaken, as he walked into the clearing with Rin beside him, could not believe what he was seeing. There was his Lord, the stoic Diayoukai, standing there gawking at a young Inu female. The toad looked over the female with a critical eye. She was beautiful, yes. She had a good body, well toned and her skin was a little bit tanned. She had on an unrestricting short skirt and chest armor of female fighters that did little more then cover her ample breasts. The black leather of her out fit complemented her figure well, and the quality was very high. Her black leather boots came up to her knees, but were not heeled, giving the impression this female didn't desire the extra height others females used to try to gain some kind of over control over things around them. This Inu had an air around her that she already control the world around her and needed any aid from apparel. Her boots also had what looked to be metal claws that extended past the toe and then curved downward. Those could do some damage if used right. Her stomach was bare, flat and unscarred. Her hair was that of a well bred Inu's, silver-white and several feet long, though hers was slightly different. The last several inched of her hair was tipped deep blue, and as the toad could not smell any of the crude hair dyes that others females sometimes had the habit of using, so this feature was apparently natural. Her hair shimmered in the waning light; a trait of being usually well taken care of with expensive soaps and oils but this female smelled of none of those. Lying beside her was a beautiful black kimono with a gold dragon design woven into the silk. The silk was exquisite and the detail masterfully done, a kimono of that high of quality could not be afforded be many. Jaken filed this information away for later, incase he would have to identify this female later.

 

“She's pretty,” said the young Rin, instantly breaking everyone's concentration.

 

The Inu female looked down at the little human as she put her kimono on over her fighting outfit. “You are very pretty to, young one” she said with a smile gracing her visage.

 

Rin looked up at her Lord and saw a smile on his face.
