Chap 9. - Keeping promises…
After a few steps, Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha were inside a room through a huge door. Inuyasha was almost sure the door was next to his, but he did not say a word about it. The room was the entrance area for chambers much larger than Inuyasha's. They walked through out some rooms until they reached a winter garden, they walked through it and then they came to an open area, another garden surrounded by a lake which had an astonishing view. It was quite relaxing.
A cool breeze flowed towards his face, causing Inuyasha to feel very cool and pleasant. He was not worried if Sesshoumaru would kill him or anything. He finally, after so many days was again able to feel the wind on his face, and the view of the lake was astonishing and left him in high spirits.
Sesshoumaru had finally let go of Inuyasha's hair and walked in the direction of a gazebo. When he got there he sat on the only chair in the place. “Inuyasha I brought you here, so we could talk without interruptions or that awful scent--” Sesshoumaru's voice and the fact that he had been dropped, took Inuyasha out of his day dreaming moment.
Something was strange, Inuyasha could sense concern in Sesshoumaru's voice and that was quite new; even to him.
“That night, when I went into your chambers in the middle of your heat predicament, my own heat took over and both our discernments and judgments were defeated by the moment. Now you have a mark on your neck and there is only a way to keep you alive and in health for some more years, when I kill you. I will state it to you, but before that I will let you aware of your health at the moment.” Sesshoumaru even from the place he was in, he analyzed all of Inuyasha's reaction and actions'; or the lack of them. That took him some seconds until he returned to his speech.
“I will accept any decision without questioning it, Sesshoumaru-sama.”
“Inuyasha, an Inu-youkai cannot have many partners; male or female an Inu-youkai could not be bedded or bed as many partners as other youkai or ningen do. Normally Inu-youkai would spend their early heats in closed places to avoid any contact; during these periods, they would learn how to deal with it and to be able to recognize their future mate's youki even out of the heat season, Inu-youkai mate for life. The mark is something really important in the whole process and rituals. But you— you're a hanyou, and things are a little bit different— Too make thing worse, you were among other youkai; going to bed with them for many years and now in heat you are in the edge of being ill and you could die at any moment…”
“Gomen nasai, but I must interrupt you Sesshoumaru-sama. This is my second heat, and I have started my sexual life some days after my first heat was over. If I was not kidnapped, I would be with Tsukyomaru-sama and we would be mated by now. And he would be the only one to bed me.”
“Kidnapped?”
“Yes…”
“I want you to tell me everything about it.”
“Hai, Sesshoumaru-sama.” Inuyasha stood up from the place he was since they arrived and he had been dropped by Sesshoumaru, walked till the gazebo Sesshoumaru was in and sat by the first step of it. “After my first time, Tsukyomaru-sama and I were living together near the forests, one day I asked to go swimming in the nearest river, after having a lot of fun in the water; I was hungry so I decided I would have fish for lunch, so when I was fishing two youkai showed up and killed the guard Tsukyomaru-sama sent to escort and protect me. The two took me to a place on the mountains and they abused me for days. Myouga-jiji helped me to run away and I was hiding from view in the woods for a while. Then Kiramaru-sama found me and two days later, you found us. Then I knew Kouga-sama…” Inuyasha in a desperate act decided to add information that nobody else knew.
“I had less than 20 sexual partners on the last 8 months, from all of those I only craved to be in bed with three. All the others were rapist in a way or another. During the period that I was in the woods I did not have a sword that could blow youkai or ningen--” Inuyasha paused for a little while and continued. “At new moon first nights I was even defenseless in my ningen form. It was hard to protect myself, long time ago, when I was a little hanyou boy, could you, Sesshoumaru-sama imagine how it would be as I am now? could Sesshoumaru-sama imagine what youkai or ningen do when they found a weak and in hunger hanyou as I was during that period?”
“Are you telling me this, so I can be sympathetic with you?”
“No, I just-- just want you to know what really happened.”
“But do you understand that whatever had happened is not going to change your present situation?”
“Hai, Sesshoumaru-sama.”
“And what will you do?”
“As I told you before: I will accept any decision of yours and I will never question any of them.”
“Inuyasha, will you keep up what you promised me?”
“Hai, Sesshoumaru-sama, I am going to do whatever you want me to do and I am going to follow you and be by your side serving you as long as you want me to.”
“Good, because from now on you are going to be my concubine, the necessary rituals and protocols will be done in two or three days. You must know that you are not going to have any power, you will not be allowed to have any word about anything; your only duty will serve me in these chambers, in yours, or wherever it pleases me. If you provide evidence that I can trust in you, I will let you have some privileges; as in going outside, practicing with a sword or any other physical activity, before that you will be always locked at your chambers. Is that clear?”
“Hai Sesshoumaru-sama.”
“Do you know that a concubine is nothing more than a cute slave who was chosen by the master as a sex-slave and bedmate;a mere private slut?”
“Hai, Sesshoumaru-sama.”
“Doesn't that bother you?” Sesshoumaru eyes were fixed at Inuyasha, he need to know what the hanyou thought about it and how he would react.
“I was trained to be one, I was ashamed at first, and I tried to escape countless times, but never managed to do it. During the last years I just let it be, and after all the bad things that happened to me in the last months. Finally I realized I could not change what I have become.” Silent tears were running down Inuyasha's face; Sesshoumaru could not see his eyes, due the silver bangs of his hair.
“So you do regret to be here with me and you will regret if you became my concubine, won't you?”
“Nooo---” Inuyasha looked up and made eye contact with Sesshoumaru. “I could never regret to be with you, I would never do that--- Please Sesshoumaru-sama, don't misunderstand my words. I can not live without you---” Inuyasha laid downward on the steps of the gazebo and with a shy hand touched Sesshoumaru's boots. “And I am not saying that because you are this close — I— I am saying this because from the day we have left Kiramaru-sama's place, my body, youki, soul and heat, all of them together, beg to be near you, to be touched by you, no matter how — you complete me, Sesshoumaru-sama,” Whispering Inuyasha added, “and after you marked me this feeling has only been multiplied…”
“If what you say is really true, why have you run away with that ookami?” Sesshoumaru stated more than asked.
“I haven't run away with Kouga-sama, he took me from the tree I was sleeping on. I have just been with him because you were not there, and he helped me a lot with my heat. It was an equivalent trade--” Inuyasha was stretching his body so much that he was almost touching Sesshoumaru boots with his face. He was trying to get some physical contact and also show Sesshoumaru how submissive he could be. Whispering he added “Gomen nasai, Sesshoumaru-sama, I am completely and unquestionably devoted to you, Sesshoumar-sama, but I could never forget what Kouga-sama had done to me and that Tsukyomaru-sama was the first to bed me and the wonderful days we spent together, as I will never forget all the rapes.”
“I think we have a problem. I will not accept a companion or concubine with another man in mind. This is the most unacceptable way of treachery.” Sesshoumaru stood up; his heat fever was returning and he was losing control by the seconds.
Inuyasha now on his all fours crawled till Sesshoumaru and holding his arms around one of the powerful youkai legs, whispered. “Sesshoumaru-sama, they are not in my mind or heart. These are the spaces you have conquered completely, but I want you to know that those youkai were part of my history. I want you to know everything about my life; I will not keep any secret from you, ever.” Inuyasha already dizzy by the increasing fever crises grabbed both Sesshoumaru's legs and said almost in a cry. “Gomen nasai, Sesshoumaru-sama, just let me be yours. I will be your slut, I am your slave do as you please with me and my body, but please don't leave me.”
Sesshoumaru's eyes were red as Inuyasha's; the heat was once again in control of both brothers.
Sesshoumaru took hold of Inuyasha by the shoulders standing up the hanyou and started to smell the hanyou's neck, the alluring scent, the warmth coming from the hanyou's body was fantastic, and smelling it was not enough. Sesshoumaru started to lick the hanyou's neck; the scar made by his fangs; his biting mark from some nights ago; the hanyou's smooth and almost flat and muscles-less chest.
Their clothes were again in the way. They were torn apart so they were skin to skin.
Sesshoumaru in less than two strikes let Inuyasha naked, and leaning the hanyou in one of the posts of the gazebo. He took his time licking the undersized hanyou's body. Small bites would be added in the process, slowly tiny blood drops wound maculate Inuyasha's pale body and they also would be licked and drank by a hungry Sesshoumaru.
*
Hours later:
Sesshoumaru woke up sensing a different scent. It was not the scent of his mate. It was the scent of the castle councilor. “What are you doing here?” Sesshoumaru asked without open his eyes. He realized that there was something on his chest, it was warm and smooth.
“We need to discuss the ceremony and your mat-- I mean, the little hanyou need a bath and be prepared to the ceremony,” the elder said sternly.
“Ceremony? What are you talking about?” Sesshoumaru open his eyes and he realized where he was.
They were in the gazebo, yet, and they were naked.
Inuyasha was completely cover in blood and semen and there was another fang mark on his neck, this time it was on the opposite side, but it was as big as the first and there were other fang marks all over the hanyou's body.
“What happened?” Sesshoumaru was annoyed, he just remembered that he was kissing and licking the hanyou, but nothing after that. “Can you tell me what is going on, why can't I remember what happened here or that night?”
“Sesshoumaru-sama, it is better you bath and let the servants take care of the hanyou. We all need to start the ceremony arrangements.”
“No, I demand an explanation and I demand that now!” Sesshoumaru stood up, holding the unconscious Inuyasha. “It's the second time-- I can not let this keep going like that. I need to understand why this hanyou make me lose so much control over myself and forget all the things we do when we are--- together.” Sesshoumaru looked at Inuyasha and dropped him to the floor, seconds later he grabbed Inuyasha by the neck with one of his hands. “It is not fair. I'll kill this bastard and I will kill him now!” Sesshoumaru was so stressed that he started to change to his Inu true form while the hand squeezing Inuyasha's neck started to glow the green light of his deadly poison. He now was deciding to kill Inuyasha.
“Sesshoumaru, calm down,” he said calmly and nonchalantly. “It is not the hanyou's fault, I can assure you.” The elder touched Sesshoumaru's face and the hand that was almost killing Inuyasha; soothingly.
Sesshoumaru then retreat his transformation and let go of Inuyasha.
“I will make myself presentable and we are going to talk about all this at the library. Meet me there in a few minutes, and please take this hanyou out of my site.” Sesshoumaru left the garden without looking back.
*
***In the next day at night***
“Are you ready little one?” asked a youkai dressed in priestess clothes.
Inuyasha was wearing only a silk red kimono with Sesshoumaru's family clan crest - red honeycomb and flowers at the collar, sleeves and shoulder, red socks and sandals. His white-silver long hair was almost touching his knees; his hair was acting like a veil; combed straight down his shoulders and body. “Hai.”
“It is time then, let start this part of the ritual.”
It was late; the sky was dark with only some stars due the new moon. There was no light coming from the moon and everything was really dark and in a way scary, even for Inuyasha.
“Hai.”
They were leaving his chamber and walking through a different path.
So many different things were happening on the last two days. He was happy, though.
Sesshoumaru had mate with him in that wonderful garden and marked him for the second time. The people on the castle were taking him to different places and they were performing many different ceremonies he did not understand about them. However since he had promised to Sesshoumaru that he would accept anything without questions, he accomplished everything they ordered him to do.
*Flash back*
In pre previous night he woke up while he was being bathed by the small youkai in his chambers, the second mate session with Sesshoumaru was amazing and also excessively violent. Inuyasha was completely aware of it and he loved the feeling and all the pain he was now and during the whole thing. He also knew that, without the youkai help he would not be able to clean himself. After the bathe, the youkai brought him some tea; she explained that the tea would help in his healing process and also prepare him for one of the ceremonies he would face during the next day. Inuyasha drunk the tea and soon he was sleeping naked on his bed.
When he woke up he realized that it was late afternoon and that there were others in the bedroom, he sat on the bed and he was saluted by female some youkai, he only replied them with a shy smile, “I am naked and there are strange miko-youkai around my bed looking at me, what should I do?” They seem to be miko, but they were priestess-youkai. They informed him that they were there to help him in the purification ritual and when they were done, they would guide him to the next ritual, the bond ritual with the lord of the castle.
Inuyasha agreed and the process started with one of the priestess-youkai in a mono-chanting tone.
“It is time to start this cleanse ritual, tonight as many other new moon nights is a perfect time to purify our bodies, and we are going to start this ritual to purify the body of this young one. Let us start with a ritual bath.” They held Inuyasha by the hand and lead him till the bath area in his chamber, as soon they were inside. Inuyasha realized that there were much more candle lights in the place. They help him get inside the spring. The water was hotter than usual, and using a kind of soap and a cloth they started to scrub all his body. They also washed his hair. After rinsing him completely, they add some soothing oil to the water. Then they scrubbed Inuyasha with salt. Due the scrubbing and the hot water, Inuyasha's pale skin was red and he was tensing, his ears flattened, but from time to time they twitched and swiveled in fear of what the priestess-youkai could do to them. They realized Inuyasha's apprehension and asked him to relax. “Don't think about what you are about to do. Just relax.”
After the bath, in the main room another ritual took place.
A circle was cast on the floor, an altar was arranged, there were incense and more candles, and there were many other things in the room. Inuyasha only watched while some of the priestess-youkai continued in the preparation of the room and other were getting him completely dry, they combed his hair up and guide him till the circle, he was fully naked and waited till they ordered him to lie down on his back in the middle of the circle. Again the priestess-youkai spoke. “Now feel all of your energy draining out of you, into the floor, into this land, the Western lands, into the Earth. Feel yourself losing control of your body, let it go numb. Let your body become a distant object. Release yourself from it. Do not let your body be a part of you. Sink out of your body as best you can.”
After a few moments, Inuyasha felt the energy from the Western lands from the Earth. All its vibrations entering his body. He could feel his body tingling, burning, itching, and tickling. Then he could feel it becoming alive again, knowing that it is being charged with good energy, the energy from the Western lands, from the Earth.
“Come little one, sit up and hold this candle and repeat this with us,” one of the priestess-youkai said minutes later while she handed a silver candle to him. “Let us all repeat this,” and then they all started the new chant.
“I light this candle as an object of my purified soul, as a dedication to My goddess and My/ (his) Goshujin-sama. Let this candle burn and charge me/ (him) with their blessing and power.” - A.N.: the text in brackets is the mikos praying with Inuyasha, while he is repeating the chant with them.
Then, they passed the incense over Inuyasha's body. He felt the smoke all over him as it washes his body clean, lastly, they passed the candles each one were holding over Inuyasha's body, the wax burned him and was all over his body. Once that was done, they all thanked the goddess and helped Inuyasha out of the circle. “This part of the ceremony is done little one, let us get you ready to meet your Goshujin-sama.”
*End of flash back*
*
Sesshoumaru went inside the ceremony room and greet the priest and the castle counselor. He was wearing only a silk white kimono with the family clan crest, sashinuki hakama and boots. No armor or swords. His silverish long hair flowing straight down his back.
He sat in silence waiting the beginning of the ceremony and also in thought about the conversation he had had the day before with the castle counselor.
**Flashback**
When Sesshoumaru entered the library the elder was already there waiting him. “You said it is not the hanyou's fault, so who is the fault then? Mine?” Sesshomaru said, the red in Sesshoumaru's eyes only showing the amount of anger. “I want answers and I want now.”
“It is not your fault either. It is a youki issue. Sesshoumaru be honest with yourself, how many times have you faced another Inu-youkai or hanyou in heat while you were in heat? And how many times have you bedded any youkai?”
“…”
For the first time in centuries, the elder could see Sesshoumaru's face turn red.
“That is the reason you have been holding back your youki for centuries, you have never mated before. So now centuries old, your youki finally is in contact with a similar one, and your inner beast is punishing you. When you are with the little hanyou, who is also in heat, the exchange of power among both youki is so massive that your coherent self is the one that is held back while the beast is in charge--”
“So, I will never be able to remember what happen?” Sesshoumaru sat on a chair and had his hands cupping his head.
“No, I think you will be able to recall what will happen during the ceremony tonight. You have mated and create a bond with the hanyou already; your youki must be in control again.”
“But he was bleeding much more than he was on the last time and he was in a worst shape too. Does he—can he —I mean, does he know what is happening?” Sesshoumaru said looking at his boots; his hands still cupping his head.
“Yes he does, and he loves that.”
“How do you know?”
“He was smiling, even unconscious when I found you too in the gazebo.”
“I hate him.”
“No, you don't. Sesshoumaru, you need time to understand the changes. They are in great number and in a very short period of time. And too make things worse, both of you in heat. They are all blurring the path, but soon you both will understand everything, as soon as the rituals are over and you both fully mates and sharing the chambers mysteries, you will realize.
***End of flashback***
Sesshoumaru could hear the priestess-youkai and Inuyasha arriving, he and the other youkai in the room stood up. When the door was opened, Inuyasha entered the room, alone. A youkai lead him to the center of the room and helped him to sit on a short but large stone table.
The room was enormous, as everything in the castle. There were some youkai in the room, but due the light, Inuyasha could not see them clearly. All he could see was another stone table; like an altar and many things on it. Next to the table there was a slim youkai, he was wearing only a black hakama, his furless upper body was naked, and it was all covered with tattoos.
“Good evening, you must drink this, so we can start.” The youkai's voice was warm and it made Inuyasha relax. Inuyasha then took the glass the youkai was offering him and drank all the liquid.
Moments later, with blurred eyes, Inuyasha could see Sesshoumaru move toward the table and with butterfly touches and kisses Sesshoumaru took the red kimono off, letting Inuyasha undressed. Inuyasha could see the kimono being placed on the other table and he could feel Sesshoumaru's fangs producing many piercing bite marks on his body.
Inuyasha's sense were different, he could feel pain, sharp pain as if they were cutting his body, but at the same time he could feel pleasure, and in an amount he had never felt before. Sesshoumaru was there and touching him, there were the other youkai in the room; they were all watching, he could sense their arousal and also their repugnance. Again, he could feel the burning. It was like before, but now only his limbs were tingling, burning, itching and tickling. Then Inuyasha was unconscious again for a while.
When he opened his eyes, he was at the same place, but now Sesshoumaru with his white kimono covered in blood and opened, was riding him furiously. Sesshoumaru's eyes were on a bright red color, the youkai marks on his body widen, his face in the middle of the transformation process in a mouth-muzzle shape clearly showing all the deadly fangs and teeth. Growling deeply, he threatened the other youkai in the room that this was his claim; his mate. In every thrust, Inuysha could feel Sesshoumaru's snarls and growls all over this body. Sesshoumaru growled again and without letting go of Inuyasha, he flipped Inuyasha on all fours on the stone table. Without warning, Sesshoumaru restarted the violent thrusting and Inuyasha realized in a mix of ecstasy and fear that Sesshoumaru's cock was swelling in every thrust.
Sesshoumaru was again possessed by his inner beast; lead by his youki, and as an irrational beast he would fuck his bitch until they once again were locked together. Inuyasha's own inner beast was extremely happy, however there were other youkai watching them this time. Inuyasha soon had realized that they were being watched and they were making others being aroused by the scene they were in. However, the whole thing delighted Inuyasha's sick nature. In sensual movements he helped Sesshoumaru as he rocked his hips in rhythm with every thrust bringing them both to the edge and soon they were viciously coming. Sesshoumaru then leaned forward, and with his still shaped mouth-muzzle Sesshoumaru for the third time, would bite down on the hanyou's neck leaving a huge mark of his power and dominance on the hanyou's body. Inuyasha cried in pain and Sesshoumaru with a grin and blood dripping from his mouth, reached one of Inuyasha's ears and bite it letting more blood flow as if in a punishing act, but soon he licked not only the bleeding appendance, but all of the hanyou's body till both fall asleep curled in each other bodies.
*
It was warm when Inuyasha opened his eyes, there was something hot and smooth near him and when he turned his body he could see Sesshoumaru's chest. They were together. For the first time Inuyasha was able to wake up holding Sesshoumaru. Words could not describe how happy he was.
“May I touch your chest Goshujin-sama?” Inuyasha asked, knowing Sesshoumaru was awake.
“Yes.”
“Thank you, Goshujin-sama.” Inuyasha slowly raised his hand and started to touch Seshoumaru's chest, then his arm and the youkai marks on it, them looking up again Inuyasha touched the marks on Sesshoumaru's face.
“I am so happy… If you kill me now, I will die happy.”
“But I will not kill you, not now. First you have to — no — you MUST teach me all the little secrets you know. After that, I will be able to kill you, kill you with pleasure,” Sesshoumaru said that holding Inuyasha in a powerful hug.
“Hai, Goshujin-sama. May I start now?” Inuyasha said trying to escape from Sesshoumaru's arms to be able to kiss him. But Sesshoumaru had other plans in mind.
“No, we are going to bath and eat. You were three days unconscious, and now it is better to you to put something in this stomach of yours.”
“Days?” Inuyasha could not believe he was that weak.
“It is normal after the rituals and in heat, our bodies asked for that. I woke up yesterday.”
Inuyasha was dragged by Sesshoumaru to the bath area, when they left the bath, the small youkai was there waiting them with their meal and clothes. They dressed themselves in silence and ate in silence. They were almost finishing the meal when Jaken asked to enter the room.
“What you want Jaken?”
Jaken entered the room and greeted both, looking in a mix of horror and delight to the marks on Inuyasha's neck.
“Sesshoumaru-sama, the workers are already waiting, the elders wanted it to be ready by the sunset, and today is the last night.”
Sesshoumaru after a light sigh asked Inuyasha if he had finished his meal.
“Hai, Goshujin-sama”
“Perfect, today they are going to finish the tattoos and you must try your new garments.”
*
Hours later Inuyasha was in the middle of the main patio in the castle, naked, being tattooed with Sesshoumaru's family clan crest on the arms (from the top of his shoulders till the elbows), bottom (both external sides till the middle of the thighs), and lower legs (on the calves and ankles). His long silver-white hair from that moment on would be done up in `ox horns' adorned with brocades and ribbons, like the Chinese girls. His puppy dog-ears would be free in front of the `ox horns' and some bangs would fall on his forehead.
At first, he was happy, but after some hours, he was ashamed of his new situation. He was being marked as a possession, an animal. And every one in the castle or in the whole Western Lands would know that. He belonged to Sesshoumaru as a family slave. If he shared or not Sesshoumaru's bed it was merely a consequence.
To make things worse, the fact that he was naked and everyone could see not only the tattoos over his body, and all the marks left by an insane Daiyoukai, also the marks left by the others. They whispered awful and fabled things about Inuyasha's past, about his ningen mother and other things related to his childhood and even later.
Inuyasha cried quietly, he did his best to keep his word to Sesshoumaru and accepted everything in silence.
For the first time, since the tea services or after the spankings at Kiramaru's place, Inuyasha was exposed to others opinion, but even there, he was never naked.
Sesshoumaru was with them just for a few minutes, he had left as soon as he explained were the rest of the tattoos should be placed,—they had started the arms and legs, at the night of the rituals.
Close to them were some low level youkai were sitting sewing Inuyasha's new wardrobe. Inuyasha, different from any slave or servant would wear silk kimonos or Qipao — a traditional Chinese dress — but Inuyasha was forbidden to wear any kind of underwear or shoes. It was a demand from the elders, since Inuyasha was supposed to never be at the same level as the lords.
Another ritual bathe took place at the patio, afterward, Inuyasha naked and barefoot had to greet all the youkai in the castle in a higher position than his, and in other words, Inuyasha had to greet everybody. During this protocol ceremony, a welcoming and acknowledge ceremony, Inuyasha was again alone. So he was fully exposed to any comment and since he was not allowed to look anyone on the face or eyes, some mean comments were heard, without him knowing who actually did it.
It was late at night when he finally was allowed to be alone, but he soon learn that, that night he would sleep there in the patio; suspended in chains due the tattoos, he forbidden to bathe for two days.
`Why did they have to do such a big thing? Fucking tattoos, fucking mating rituals! Where is that fucking Goshujin-sama when I need him?' Inuyasha was angry, he had realized that now, nothing really could be done, except curse everyone in his mind and wait.
*
In the second night, he was set free from the chains and allowed to bathe. In the next morning on the third day in the afternoon, Sesshoumaru returned and they spent that night together.
Sesshoumaru first studied all the tattoos, the mating and bonding marks, and then he wanted Inuyasha to teach him how to pleasure each other. The heat was not that stronger any longer, so they were able to control their youki and both enjoyed each and every moment.
***
Six months later
The life in the castle was not that different from the first days to Inuyasha he would be as Sesshoumaru had told him almost all the time in his chambers, sometimes he would be send or dragged by Sesshoumaru himself to Sesshoumaru's chambers. However, Inuyasha would spend a great part of his days and nights, alone. The same small youkai would bring him food and clean clothes. During the new moon first nights, Inuyasha would be send to a place in the castle were his ningen scent could not reach Sesshoumaru's nostrils. Regardless of that, Sesshoumaru was a wonderful lover; he would demonstrate all his passion to the hanyou. Sesshoumaru had learnt that Inuyasha loved the mix of pain and pleasure and would blend it in their chambers games.
Inuyasha would think that his life was perfect; he was living with Sesshoumaru, his oniisan, his Goshujin-sama, the only one with whom he with pleasure shared a bed. He had food, a stead place to be, he was protected in his ningen nights. `What else a hanyou would aim for a life?' He would ask in his lonely winter nights. And in a night like that, Sesshoumaru visited him and holding him by the waist, guided the hanyou till a door close to their chambers and when he opened the door. Inuyasha at first was presented to a room like his, when they got to the main area, Inuyasha was in a dojo. It was not as vast and equipped as the one Sesshoumaru trains everyday, but it was big. Or at least biggest of all the ones he had seen in his life.
“Have you ever been in a dojo, Inuyasha?”
“Hai, Goshujin-sama. When I lived with okaasan in the village there was one, and in Kiramaru-sama there was another. And in some villages I visited while I was running away, I could see some, though I have never practice in any. I was not allowed to.”
“I know, do not mind about that, this is your dojo. It has two entrances; you normally will be getting in here by the garden, there is a way from your garden to the one in here, a shomen with the area for a shrine and other artifacts. I personally choose some of them and there are some displayed throughout the place, there is also one of Chichi-ue's armors. On the back wall, you will find some weapons and other training gear. You can also add and use Tetsuseiga here.”
Sesshoumaru was explaining how Inuyasha would practice and other things, when suddenly Inuyasha fell on his knees and started to cry. “What is going on Inuyasha?”
“Why—why are you being so good to me? You gave me a new life, you mated with me, you gave me a house, you feed me, and now a dojo with all these wonderful things? Are you sure I deserve all of these?” Inuyasha's ears as well as his face were red and flexed to his skull.
“Are you questioning me, Inuyasha?” Sesshoumaru asked seriously. Inuyasha almost panicked as fast as he could reply that he was not. Sesshoumaru looking at the hanyou on the floor added, “You promised me that you would never question me. You should know already that I do what pleases me. Once you told me that you used to practice some physical exercises, so nothing better than a dojo, so you can practice whatever you want when I am not with you. I told you, if you demonstrate that you could be trustful you would have a reward. So there you are. A dojo and the right to practice whatever you like. Whenever I want, I will train with you and teach you.” Sesshoumaru said with a small smile on his face. A rare, but a display of affection he use when alone with the hanyou.
Inuyasha remained on the floor bowed even more and kissed Sesshoumaru's boots.
“I'd rather have you kissing other places, come Inuyasha, I want to see your performance here…”
They were undressing each other when Jaken knocked on the door asking if he could talk with Sesshoumaru.
“Jaken go away I am busy, now.”
“Please, Sesshoumaru-sama it is an important message from the elders.”
“You may enter Jaken, be fast.”
“Sesshoumaru-sama, the elders have sent you this message: `The Sakura Blossom Celebrations will be held in the castle, due the last bond ritual and the spring mating season to all youkai from the Western Lands and its surroundings.' ”
“I do hate when they decide things for me, I am the Western Lands Lord. Jaken. I will agree with this nonsense this time due the bond, however I will not accept any other celebration. I do not have time to lose with these foolish things.” Sesshoumaru sighed and without looking at Jaken asked to the toad youkai. “Jaken when is it going to take place?”
“In two weeks, Sesshoumaru-sama.”
“Two weeks, perfect. Now leave us alone, we have to return to our lesson.” A grin formed in Sesshoumaru's face and Jaken as soon as he could, left the room.
“Poor hanyou, Sesshoumaru-sama in a dojo with him after receiving such good news; that is not good.”

Finally, The Sakura Blossom Celebrations started and everything was running accordingly. There were royalty and commoners and all youkai were there for the celebrations. Though the majority was there just for one reason and that was to have a look at the one that even as a concubine, have finally mated or partially mated, with the untouchable icy-Lord of the Western Lands.
Among the guests, engrossed in see the concubine, there were some in higher anxiety; they were all lords, almost at Sesshoumaru's rank in power and influence.
Inuyasha would only attend to a dinner on the fourth night of the celebrations along with the other lords' second wives, `harem ladies' and concubines.
This dinner party as the other dinners at the celebrations was supposed to be calm. However, from the moment Inuyasha had gone inside the dinner room the atmosphere changed among with the mood with many youkai in there. Inuyasha entered the room in a line, according to his position even belonging to the host; he was the last on the line.
Inuyasha was barefoot, wearing only a plain silk black and red Qipao that had golden broad laces trimmed at the collar and edges that were without sleeves. There were also two big slits at either side of the hem and the slits exposed Inuyasha's legs indistinctly when he walked. As the lack of the sleeves, both conveniently displayed the tattoos and mating marks.
Comments about his beauty could be overheard through out the room as the fact that he was a filthy hanyou and other nice and not so nice complements.
Inuyasha walked till Sesshoumaru greeted him and took his position. On the floor and on his knees behind Sesshoumaru's left shoulder, Inuyasha would remain there during the whole night, and if Sesshoumaru wanted or order; Inuyasha would serve him.
Inuyasha has entered the room, without looking higher than the chest line of the guests, now that he was calmer and safer behind Sesshoumaru; he dared quickly look at the guests. When he looked up, his eyes meet with two other pairs of eyes he thought he would never see again in his life… He tensed, and the atmosphere in the room got even worse.
Sesshoumaru looked back at Inuyasha. He could sense the hanyou's fear and apprehension. `What is going on in here?' When Sesshoumaru look at the direction Inuyasha was looking at he saw, two young youkai lords standing up and ready to start a fight right there in the dinner party.
