Chapter 17
Lord Sesshomaru, taiyoukai of the Western Lands stood on the top of the hill, soaked in blood and sweat. The wind blew his silver hair in front of him. He missed his Mika and his eldest son. He hoped they were doing well. Ever since his first son was born he stopped travelling because he had a reason to stay home and in all honesty, Sesshomaru always felt this way when Thor left; he never showed it but he missed his son dearly.
The night he told his family he was leaving for war, he had expected Thor to leave with him since he seemed eager to leave home, but he wanted to stay. When Mika begged for the pups to stay home he was not at all surprised; he knew she worried about them, but this time he knew something was up. He could feel her emotions through his mating mark and there was as slight tingle that told him she was up to something. Either way he let his son stay because he could feel his Mika pressing the importance of Thor staying through his mark.
The enemy had retreated. For now. They had been at war for only one day and already most of the opposing army was gone. Sesshomaru was part of an army of near three hundred and the humans had about four hundred. Only twenty or less youkai died and as for the humans they lost over eighty of their men.
The opposing army also composed of ten holy men. A smart move, Sesshomaru had to admit, except that they had expected that and so Inuyasha had Kagome make special rosaries for them to deflect any hold spells or attacks.
Sesshomaru had to admit that when she his little brother in battle earlier he was very impressed with how well he had gotten and how well he had trained his children. Inuyasha had really matured over the years and he protected his children with an iron fist, especially his daughters.
Speaking of whom, Inuyasha was heading in Sesshomaru's direction. Soon his hanyou half-brother appeared beside him also covered in blood and sweat.
“We're doing good.” Inuyasha said.
“Yes we are, but if my son was here we would have won this battle already.” Sesshomaru replied.
“I agree. Our pups are very powerful and all eleven of them together can take down an army of thousands of humans and youkai alike on their own. Even holy men and women.” Inuyasha said.
“You sound proud.” Sesshomaru said.
“I am.” Inuyasha replied.
“As am I.” Sesshomaru said.
The scents of Shiaka, Malique and Sakura, Inuyasha's daughter, reached the noses of the proud fathers. The three pups skidded to a stop before their fathers and judging from their appearance it was urgent.
“The enemy is returning.” The three pups said.
Inuyasha and Sesshomaru nodded. The five of them ran back to the battle field.
*oOo*
Sesshomaru was gone, Malique was gone, Shiaka was gone and Thor was gone. Mika, taiyoukai Lady of the Western Lands and heir to the Southern Lands was worried and above all bored. Now she wished she had another pup, at least then she would have someone to spend time with. She sighed and stirred her finger in her sake. Everyone was gone and she wanted company. Yes the servants were there, but still.
The mark on her shoulder went from a dull pain of suspicion to a slight tingle of pride and then to a slow pulsing of urgency; her Sesshomaru was about to fight. She sighed and sipped her sake.
“Good luck my love.” She said.
*oOo*
These humans were very persistent. Sesshomaru cut and sliced through human after human and they still kept on coming. He didn't have enough space to use his sword's attacks, in fact, during a war he rarely got to use them.
His claws turned green and soon he was turning humans into puddles of goo. This helped give him some space, but he needed more. He called forth his whip and spun around, dicing and slicing every human within reach. Blood fell from the sky like rain.
Inuyasha was doing well with Tessaiga, he too had very little room, but soon that would not be and issue. He stabbed and sliced any human who dared attack him. When he got the chance, he pierced his palm with his claws and performed his “Blades of Blood” attack. Out of the corner of his eye he saw his son having some trouble and stepped in to help.
“Kaze no Kizu.” He yelled and cleared the field of one hundred humans.
Shiaka on the other hand was having fun. Her scythes did well with long distance attacks since they were on a chain. She got the idea from her aunt Kagome's friend Sango a long time ago. When she was old enough, they were forged from one of her fangs and one of Sesshomaru's and one of Mika's.
She spun her scythe around her body, cutting anyone it came in contact with. She held her hands at her sides, got up on her toes and started spinning like a top. The screams of all her victims as they were sliced and cut echoed around her. The joy.
She stopped and started extending her scythes and random people and cutting off their heads. She even wrapped a scythe around a human soldiers neck and strangled him. When she pulled back her scythe she stumbled and almost fell. She turned around and saw it was wrapped around the sword of one of her opponents.
The other humans saw this and rushed in to attack her but she had one more trick up her sleeve. She wrapped the chain around her hand and sent a volt of electricity through her scythe and into his sword. The others were also in for a shock, their armor passed the electricity onto them as well. When she was done they dropped to the ground, steaming.
Malique was doing well with his two swords. One made with his fang and his mother's, the other with his fang and his father's. By this time the two hundred and something humans had been reduced to somewhere around one hundred and ten while they had the same two hundred and eighty they brought into battle.
He slit the throat of one human and cut the head off of another. He stabbed on of them in his eye and another in his stomach. This was too easy, he didn't even have to try. He could defect them in hand to hand combat, or hand to sword as the case was. He slashed a human across his chest. This was too easy.
*oOo*
Yosuke had been at his army camp resting from his wounds, but he was worried about his men. He ignored his pain and walked to the battle field. He stopped at a tree and leaned against it, panting. His army and Raine's father's army were not doing well, at this rate they'd all soon be dead. Many of the soldiers had families and he did not want to take them away from their families. They had to admit defeat and surrendered
Chimu was in the ground close by and crawled over to him.
“Outousan, we must surrender,” He said hoarse.
Chimu coughed. “No,” he coughed again .” The battle-is-not-over.” He said between breaths.
“Yes it is, “ Yosuke took a deep breath “We've already lost”
Chimu sighed, his son was right. It was time to end this war. There was no way they could win. They were clearly out numbered. I made no difference them continuing to fight anymore. They had already lost too many lives as well as the war.
*oOo*
“Retreat!” came the call of the fallen soldier leaning against a tree.
The human soldiers stopped their attacks and ran over to their fallen leader. All the youkai sighed. They were very tired and needed to rest. They were all glad for this. The soldiers helped up their badly injured leader and a heavily bandaged soldier.
Yosuke took of a bandage and waved it in the air like a flag; they had surrendered.
Kouga, youkai prince of the Eastern Lands raised his sword in the air and roared his victory. The rest of the army joined in. They raised their swords in the air and roared.
The war was finally over.
*oOo*
Mika had been in the hot springs bathing when she felt the tingle in her shoulder. Her Sesshomaru was happy which meant they had won. She couldn't help smiling, knowing that her family was safe.
*oOo*
Raine squeezed the warm water out of the cloth she was using to bathe Thor. After yesterday he got extremely tired and fell right to sleep. He hadn't awaken as yet. Not only was his skin filthy, but he had developed a smell that the people in her home hated. The local miko said once a youkai was in heat, they gave off a scent to tell other youkai that they were ready to mate and that if they were already mated the smell was only appealing to their mate, but completely repulsive to other youkai and humans.
What she said was true, the smell was only appealing to Raine and since she was the one taking care of Thor, Romy sent her to bathe him. She rubbed the dirt off his back and around his wound. Then she moved down to his arm. When she reached his hands she had to stop for a while and clean his claws which was quite hard with her blunt, human finger nails.
Despite the fact that Thor was giving off a smell, lately Raine could smell everything. It was as if her sense of smell had gotten better all of a sudden and this was not until she discovered Thor's name burnt into her back.
Maybe that was it. Maybe he had passed on some of his youkai abilities to her or something. She hoped she wasn't sick, she hated being sick. When she was sick she was grumpy and miserable, which she hated. She sighed and continued bathing Thor.
*oOo*
The youkai army had returned to their camp where Kouga lived. Everywhere there were tents for the soldiers to sleep in. Most of the soldiers were in their camps being treated by Sakura, with her being part miko she was able to heal them.
To celebrate their victory, Kouga arranged a feast. Kouga had also provided them with youkai harlots for any willing participants. Any and all youkai that could move attended the feast and left with a harlot or two.
At the feast, Kouga made his victory speech.
“My friends, tonight we celebrate our victory; the humans have been defeated and the Eastern Lands are safe. Tonight I have for you a reward,” he pointed to the group of female youkai, “harlots ready for you at any time. Now my friends, eat and be merry.” Kouga said as he raised his cup of sake.
Sesshomaru and his pups were sitting around the fire in front of their tent. Sesshomaru noticed the his daughter was fidgeting and he could feel anxiety on her aura. For about three weeks now she had been acting quite strange, leaving her room in the middle of the night. She thought he hadn't noticed, but he did.
“Shiaka, is something wrong?” He asked.
“Nothing outousan, I am fine.” She answered.
The moment she finished her sentenced he noticed she looked up for a quick second and then looked away. Something was up, he knew it. First Thor and now Shiaka. Either his two pups were in some sort of scheme or trouble together or something else was going on.
He too looked up to try and see what she was looking at but all he saw was tents filled with his soldiers. What was so special about tents?
He blew out the fire and turned to his pups.
“Come my pups we leave at dawn tomorrow. You must sleep.” He said.
Malique got up to enter the tent but Shiaka stayed put. Sesshomaru told Malique to go inside so that he could speak to his daughter.
“Are you sure you are okay?” He asked.
“I'm not tired, I'm going for a walk.” Shiaka said.
Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes in suspicion. “Do not go too far, there are many single male youkai out there and I do not want you to get hurt.” He said.
Shiaka chuckled. “I'll be fine, you're the one who taught me how to defend myself.” She said.
“I have trained them as well.” Sesshomaru said.
“Don't worry about me. I'm a big girl.” Shiaka said.
Sesshomaru sighed. “Just don't go too far.”
He returned to his tent where he took off his armour and haori before lying down to sleep.
“I'm surprised you haven't seen it yet.” Malique said.
Sesshomaru sat up. “Seen what?” He asked.
Malique turned over on his side and faced his father. “She's being courted.” He said.
Sesshomaru shot up and went outside and sure enough he saw Shiaka go into the tent of one of his soldiers. This wasn't just any soldier, he was two hundred and sixty years old, making him twice Shiaka's age in human years and eight years her senior in youkai years.
How dare he court his daughter without asking him first? He was the one that chose who was best for Shiaka. Sesshomaru would not have his daughter's heart broken by some playboy that jumped from female to female every five seconds.
Sesshomaru was about to run over to the tent and castrate the bastard when Malique came out of the tent and grabbed his arm.
“Don't ruin this for her. From when she told me, he treats her well. You need not worry.” Malique said.
Sesshomaru growled in warning. If Mokuba hurt his daughter it would be the day he was stripped of his manhood.

Sesshomaru growled in warning. If Mokuba hurt his daughter it would be the day he was stripped of his manhood.
