Yea I’m still here and still writing. No I am not dead just tryna figure out how to write what is in my head lol.

Chapter Twelve: A trick revealed

Inuyasha gazed at the hooded figure in impatience as the figure paused gathering his thoughts
“You want her My lord don’t you? You want the pups that you know she will bear and the power she will grant you. Yo-”, the hooded figure was interrupted from his rants as Inuyasha lifted him into the air holding him by the throat.
“Enough of this”, Inuyasha snarled his eyes slowly bleeding red, “Either tell me what you know, or lose your life.”
Putting emphasis on his statement by tightening his hold on the hooded figure’s throat

The hooded figure smile only widened showing even more of his jagged teeth. “Very well my lord”, he rasped
Inuyasha uncaringly dropped him onto the ground and returned to his seat “Well….” Inuyasha said, “I’m waiting”
Returning to his place between the two other seated figures he spoke, “My lord the woman you desire, the queen of shadows is not an ordinary demon. She is a rare breed of great strength and power” the figure paused lifting his head from the bowed position to gaze at Inuyasha. Who was staring intently at him waiting for him to continue.
“She my lord is what one would call a demon-miko; she is neither a demon, a miko, nor a hanyou. She is a demon with miko blood flowing through her veins” he rasped
Inuyasha and Sesshomaru eyes both widened at the hooded figure’s statement, both of them in astonishment. Pulling the hood off his head the figure finally revealed his face, which consisted of a mainly bald head with wisps of gray white hair, eerily gray eyes, and pale scaly skin.
“That breed was said to die out hundreds of years” Inuyasha said leaning forward in his chair, “How was she able to survive all this time undetected, uncaptured, unused?”
The confusion in Inuyasha voice was evident, how could it not be due to tales of this race. During the age of demon-priest and demon-priestess flourish their powers were so great that some could not control their own powers which led to their death, others were captured and used by lords and kings for their armies, the few left after that remained undetected and in hiding.
The hooded figure smirked. “No one knows, my lord how she survived this long, especially undetected, we only know her limitless powers, and origins of her kind”.
Both dog demons looked at him in confusion
“Surely you know the tale of how demon-priest/priestess came to be?”
The continued look of confusion on their faces answered his question
“” There are many tales of the origins of demon-monk/mikos, some say they were created by heaven and hell in order to form the line of ying and yang, others say that the god over demons mated with priestess over the land in order to created another being more powerful than demons and holy beings alike, though neither is true. Long ago, my lord, over hundreds of years ago there was a Great War between our holy beings and powerful demons across the land. Bloodshed occurred, and the lives of the innocent were lost in the midst of hate and bloodlust. Over 200 years passed in this war until one day a malicious being more powerful than either side could ever compare emerged from the depths of hell. Taking advantage of the war between the demons and holy beings, he created more chaos and death that neither being could stop. For over 50 years he ruled over lands slowly killing those who opposed him until the demons, humans, priestess, monks, and hanyous started to decline drastically in numbers. A kind witch with the vision of future came to both the demons and holy beings and warned them of the future of the world that was to come if the malicious being was not stopped. He rule would create death of happiness, death of love, death of life. The holy beings and demons horrified of her vision asked the witch if there was a way to prevent the outcome of this tragedy. She did not disappoint them and said in a hushed voice ‘ To destroy the being that represents hell itself, the most powerful demons and priestess/priest must combine in body mind in soul to become one being indestructible to beings army of hell’ . The witch wish it seems was to combine demons and miko/monks of the same sex to create something the malicious had never encountered. These demons, monks, mikos once combined with a demon counterpart were never to be able to part from them. They would never exist solely on their own again, but would be part of a more powerful being until the end of time. Once these rituals were done 50 demon-monks and 50 demon-mikos were created with different names and personalities. These beings give up not only their individuality, and families, but their lives also. The demon-monk/mikos fought the being from hell for 20 days and nights relentlessly until the malicious being was driven back to the depths of hell. Once the threat was over the demon-mikos/monks went their separate ways taking mates with humans, demons, hanyous, demon-monks/mikos alike’
After finishing his tale he looked at Inuyasha and Sesshomaru, who both held looks of disbelief and awe on their faces
“So she is not just a combination of beings, she is also two separate being,” Sesshomaru whispered
“Correct young prince,” Akura stated, “In order, my lord, for you to mate with one such as the queen of shadows, you need complete and utter submission of both sides”
Reaching into his robe he pulled out a leather black collar “I Akura, my lord, have a solution to your problem”
“If this collar is placed on the neck of the queen of shadows it will drain her power to that of a weakened hanyou, making her resistance weaken to submission”
Sesshomaru eyes darken in distrust ‘Inuyasha as badly as he wants the queen of shadows would never stoop so low as too weaken her’
Though Inuyasha surprised him, his desire for the queen of shadows had past the point of moral codes, and honesty. The want he felt for her was frighten and arousing all at once, which left him unreasonable and illogical.
“So the only thing that I must do is place the collar on her neck?”
Sesshomaru stared at his brother in incredulity ‘Inuyasha no’
“Not, quite my lord,” Akura said, “Once the collar is placed on her neck, my brothers Seji, Muro, and I. Will placed the spell of driange on her weakening her to your advancements”
“When can this been done?” Inuyasha inquired his gaze unwavering on Akura’s form
“As soon, as you wish my lord” Akura stated a smirk planted on his features
Inuyasha smirked, “Good, then at the end of this week I want you to be prepared, because by the end of this week she will be wearing this collar”.
Inuyasha then excused Akura and his brothers after he was given the collar. He sat quietly contemplating on how to get the collar around her neck.
‘Maybe I should give it to her as a gift, or better yet demand she wear it’ Inuyasha smiled at his thoughts only to frown in annoyance at the gaze his brother gave him
“Brother,” Sesshomaru began “You must realized somewhere that the plan, you are concocting is unjust towards the mating of dog demons. To weaken your intended in order for you to mate with her is distrustful and disloyal” He whispered harshly
Inuyash
a’s eyes narrowed
“Brother, you forget your place,” Inuyasha growled “ By now even you should realize the deep obsession I have for her and the lengths I will go to have her. I can’t eat, I can’t sleep, I can only think of her and even you will not stop me from claiming what is mine!”
Sesshomaru shocked at his brother’s confession, could only stare at the seat that was once occupied by Inuyasha as he left the throne room.
