Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or its characters. The honor goes to Rumiko Takahashi.
Sango suddenly appeared at my side and asked if I was all right. Sesshoumaru waved her away, telling her that he could take care of his own mate. Sango bit her lip from saying something that she would regret later, so she walked away. I was angry at my mate for treating Sango like that. He had no right. She was concerned for me like a friend should be. I don’t care if he has an image to uphold. He will not treat my friends like that or he will find himself without a mate.
Sesshoumaru sensed my anger and growled softly at me to let me know that he was displeased with my behavior towards him. I growled back. I didn’t care if the other lords and their mates heard me. “We will discuss this later in private,” he informed me coldly, as he helped me to my feet and placed his hand at the small of my back, to propel me forward.
I walked stiffly towards the head of the table. My body movements would let my mate know that I was still pissed at him. I refused to make eye contact with the demons sitting at the table. Instead, I focused on the chair I was supposed to sit in next to my mate. I had to admit the chairs are beautiful and made to make the alpha and his female equal. The chairs are silver with purple plush cushions lining the seat and a purple crescent moon on the top.
Right now, I don’t feel like I’m his equal. His ancestors in the past treated their mates with the respect they deserved. It’s just my luck that I found a mate who is focused on gaining more power to destroy his enemies. In front of others, I’m just a mere object to him and if he had his way I would be sitting on cushions at his feet.
When we reached the head of the table, he sat down in his chair first. What an insensitive bastard. At least, he could have helped me to my own chair first. I gasped in surprise when Sesshoumaru grabbed me by my hips and planted me in his lap. I twisted my head around to look at him and he just smirked at me. To pay him back, I started to move my hips slightly and mentally grinned, when I felt him harden underneath me.
“Behave, mate,” he growled into my ear. “Or I will be forced to reprimand you here in front of everyone.”
Lord Bishamon smiled knowingly at us. “Is everything alright with your mate, Lord Sesshoumaru? She looks like she’s pissed at you right now. I would hate to be in your shoes.” He said, winking at me.
Bishamon is a wolf demon. He is distantly related to Kouga. That reminds me. I wonder what Kouga has been up to lately. I am sure that he hasn’t heard about my mating or me being a demon. Boy is he in for the shock of his life. I bet Inuyasha will be the first one to tell him. Inuyasha and Kouga have never gotten along, since the day Kouga declared his love for me. Whoops. I got a little carried away.
Bishamon is very handsome and has waist length pure white hair. He has deep blue colored eyes that remind me of the oceans back home. He is tanned and has fine toned muscles. He puts body builders to shame and he doesn’t wear a shirt. Instead he wears a blue cape around his shoulders, held by a golden chain, to show off his physique. In the middle of his forehead is a black star, announcing to all that he rules the Southern Lands.
Lady Dalila grabbed a fist full of his white hair and yanked on it hard. “Stop flirting with her,” She told him with a pout, staring angrily into his blue eyes. “You’re supposed to be my mate.”
Lady Dalila is Bishamon’s mate and is a half demon, which really surprises me because not many full blooded demons mate with a half demon. She processes his black star in the middle of her forehead and has the prettiest auburn colored hair that I have ever seen. It goes down to her waist and covers the auburn colored ears on top of her head. Her eyes are a shade of bright emerald green and she processes a slim, curvy figure.
Bishamon rubbed her furry ears at the top of her auburn colored hair, earning soft purrs from her. “You know you’re the only one for me. Besides, she’s already mated. Though it’s a pity she mated to that cold stiff.”
Sesshoumaru growled at him in warning. “Quit it, Sesshoumaru. He’s just joking. Stop taking everything so seriously,” I told him, earning a glare from my mate.
“This Sesshoumaru is tried of your mouth, Bishamon. Can we get back to the task at hand? This Sesshoumaru has other things to attend to.”
Bishamon laughed. “Take a chill pill.” He turned towards me. “How can you stand to be with him? He’s so serious all the time.”
“I have only lived with him for a few weeks,” I told Bishamon truthfully. “He treats me well. I can’t ask more than that.”
The red headed female that fought with Reina earlier began to speak. “Father, stop trying to get Lord Sesshoumaru riled. Do you remember what happened last time?”
“Yeah, I do.” He admitted sheepishly. “He challenged me to a duel and kicked my ass. I was sore for weeks afterwards. We must do it again sometime, Lord Stuffy.” I laughed. That does sound like something Sesshoumaru would do.
The black haired man next to the red headed clamped his hand over her mouth. I was about to say something to him but Sesshoumaru shook his head. He gripped my arm to make sure that I wouldn’t say anything.
“I told you not to speak,” he told her. “Do you think I like to punish you, mate? I am sick and tired of having a mate that doesn’t know her place.”
The red haired girl bit his hand and smiled when she heard her mate yelp. “I am my
father’s heir and you will not talk to me like that again before you find yourself disgraced and sent back home, Aki. I won’t stand for it.”
Aki is like Sesshoumaru and cares about what others think of him. I believe that he is not a bad guy, he just cares for his mate. Aki is also a wolf demon and has black hair that reaches his shoulders and violet colored eyes. He’s not muscular but he does process a tall, slim build. He doesn’t process the families black star but when Lord Bishamon dies, it will appear and announce him as the new Lord. But his mate will be the one in charge.
“Calm down, Sayori. Stop making a scene,” Dalila told her daughter. “You can discuss things with your mate later in private.”
Sayori looks just like her mother. She has the same colored hair and the same color eyes. The only difference is that Sayori has pointed ears, making her a full blooded demon. It is not unheard of for full blooded demons and half demons to produce a full blooded demon. It’s just uncommon. Sayori is about my height and has a busy, curvy figure. Like her parents, she also processes the black star in the middle of her forehead.
“This isn’t over, yet,” Sayori hissed at her mate.
Sesshoumaru turned his gaze at Sayori and Reina. “This Sesshoumaru will not give you a punishment you both deserve. You both have been humiliated and reprimanded by this Sesshoumaru’s mate already.” He paused to glare at them before continuing, making sure they got his meaning. “In the future, this Sesshoumaru suggests that you learn to control your tempers. This Sesshoumaru will not be so lenient next time.”
“You would only lock them up in their guest rooms for a week anyway,” I snorted softly.
Jaken chose at the moment to make his presence known. “Your families will give Lord Sesshoumaru the monetary means to fix the damage you both have caused to his castle.”
That toad is a pain in my ass. I think he has a crush on my matei the way he defends him.
“Make yourself useful and fetch me something to eat, Jaken. I’m starving.” I said to him. I smirked when he left to do my binding. I failed to notice the knowing smile Lady Dalila sent my way but Sesshoumaru didn’t.
“I see that congratulations are in order, Lord Sesshoumaru.” Dalila spoke, nodding her head towards us. The other lords and their mates looked at us with confusion. They wanted to know what was going on.
“What do you mean?” I asked Dalila.
She continued to smile. “I believe in less than five months the Western Lands shall have its heir.”
“Really?” Lord Bishamon spoke. “I always thought he was gay.” His mate groaned next to him. “How do you explain the way he dresses? He’s always so neat and clean. Plus, have you ever seen him with a woman. I don’t think so.”
I slammed my hand down on the table, surprising everyone. “I know for a fact that my mate is not gay. He spends every night making love to me in our bed and he is the father of my pup. Explain that,” I said coldly to Bishamon, issuing the challenge.
“Fine,” he said, raising his hands in the air in defeat. “He’s Bi then.”
I could have sworn that I felt stream blow out of my ears. I wanted to reach across the table and strangle Lord Bishamon but his mate slapped him across the face instead.
“Damn it, Bishamon. You should know better than to aggravate a pregnant woman when she is having a mood swing. You got slapped plenty of times for it.”
“Doesn’t Sesshoumaru keep Asuka as his mistress?” Megumi asked. “You demons are confusing the hell out of me.”
Megumi is a dragoness. She has bluish, green hair that goes to her ankles in waves and gray colored eyes. In the middle of her forehead is a red lightning bolt, announcing her as the Lady of the Northern Lands. She is petite and processes a slim, curvy figure.
Her mate chuckled. “My dear, Bishamon is just making an ass of himself.” He paused and turned to look at Sesshoumaru. “Although, I am surprised you didn’t make Asuka your mate. She is from a high noble family, you know.”
Ryuu is lord of the Northern Lands. In the middle of his forehead is the red lightning bolt. The hair on top of his head is white but then it changes red and travels down to his waist. He processes a tall, muscular body. But his muscles are not as great as Bishamon’s.
“Sesshoumaru chose me and I would appreciate it if you’ll respect that. Damn it!” I shouted angrily, lifting myself from my mate’s lap, standing before them. “Where in the hell is that little green toad? It’s taking him forever to get my food.”
Jaken ran in a few seconds later with three servants carrying plates of food. “About time toad,” I said to him, picking a piece of raw meat from one of the plates and shoving it into my mouth. “I was just about to castrate you.” Jaken gulped nervously and ran out of the room. I laughed and shoved more pieces of raw meat into my mouth.
“Let’s get down to business,” I said excitedly, sitting back down in Sesshoumaru’s lap. “Since Jaken ran off, I will write down any ideas we come up with and we’ll vote on the best one.”
Lord Ryuu stared at me strangely. “All she had to do was to get some food in her and she’s happy all of a sudden. I just don’t get females.”
“That’s because she’s pregnant,” Lady Dalila whispered across the table. “Females that are pregnant sometimes act like that.”
Inuyasha chuckled. “I don’t mean to get into your conversation but Kagome is like that all the time.” He suddenly shuddered remembering my temper. “And when she gets angry, you better stay clear. That girl is violent as a volcano.”
“Stop flattering me and pay attention, Inuyasha,” I reprimanded him. “I don’t want to have to repeat anything that you miss because you’re too busy talking.”
“I see what you mean,” Ryuu spoke back.
I cleared my throat loudly, making the two pay attention to me. I stacked the white parchment papers in front of me and wrote ‘Possible Ideas’ onto it, underlining the heading. “One demon or person will give me an idea. I can’t keep up if everyone is shouting at the same time. This way, things will run more smoothly.”
“I believe we should attack Naraku and his army head on without forming a plan. We can make it up as we go along,” Inuyasha spoke first.
Sesshoumaru smirked. “This Sesshoumaru knew that you would mention such a brainless idea. Plans are guidelines so everyone performs a certain task that meets their qualifications.”
“But we do not follow each plan exactly. The battle plan is just an outline. It can change at any moment. That is why we chose a leader to make decisions for the whole army,” Seiji added.
Seiji is the newly appointed Lord of the Eastern Lands but he doesn’t have the golden sun in the middle of his forehead because Raiden is still alive. He is the mate to Sesshoumaru’s cousin, Kukiko, and is a tiger demon like his mate. He has sandy blonde hair and light blue eyes. Since he is a tiger demon, he processes strong muscular arms and legs from running in his true form.
“We know that we must attack Naraku and his army away from the castle and the villages nearby,” Reina spoke, looking directly at Sesshoumaru. “I don’t want anyone to get hurt or killed and I don’t want to hear you bitching because your castle was destroyed or damaged.”
Sesshoumaru gave a slight nod of his head. “Agreed.”
Inuyasha snorted. “You already damaged the castle. A little more won’t hurt it. Besides, Sesshoumaru has lots of money to fix it.”
“Behave, Inuyasha,” I told him, shaking my head. “You can always piss him off later.”
Reina and Kukiko are different as night and day. Reina is strong and has a quick temper that often lands her in trouble. Kukiko is quiet and reserved. She listens to what someone has to say before adding her input. Reina has light pink hair, golden colored eyes, and a tall, curvy figure. Kukiko has white hair that travels down to her claves, golden colored eyes, and short, curvy figure. Both process the golden suns in the middle of their foreheads.
Kukiko took over the Eastern Lands when their brother joined up with Naraku. When Raiden is caught, he will be executed for his crimes. I know the family is upset at his betrayal and feel responsible. That is the main reason why they are here. They want to make amends for all the trouble Raiden has caused but it’s not their faults. No one could have predicted it.
“Naraku and Raiden will probably divide the army in half, attacking at two different points. We need to be able to attack them at four different angles, since there are four lords here with their armies. That way, Naraku and Raiden have no means to escape.”
Everyone nodded in agreement. “Good idea, Lord Bishamon,” I said, writing his idea down, alongside the others.
Lord Ryuu focused his glaze upon me. “We have something that Naraku doesn’t.”
“What?” I asked him confused.
He pointed his finger at me. “You are our secret weapon. With the power you have displayed before us, I believe you can take out half of his army by yourself.”
Inuyasha stood up to protest but Sesshoumaru beat him to it. “Absolutely not,” he stated coldly. “This Sesshoumaru will not put his mate in danger. She is pregnant with this lord’s pup and heir.”
“That’s not fair, Sesshoumaru,” I turned my body around to look at him. “Naraku tried to kill me and I want to fight. The other females are joining their mates in battle.”
Sesshoumaru frowned. He was displeased with me contradicting his decision on the subject. “The other females are not pregnant with pups either,” he argued back.
“I can protect the pup,” I insisted.
“How?” he asked me. “You’ll be too busy fighting and not paying enough attention. An enemy could put a sword through your stomach and end up killing the pup. You will stay here in the castle and safe out of harms way.”
I fumed with anger. “I won’t be safe here in the castle, either,” I shouted loud enough to hurt his ears. “That whore of yours doesn’t like me and will no doubt take the opportunity to get rid of me.”
Sesshoumaru cocked his eyebrow up at me. “Are you trying to place the blame on Asuka? She has nothing to do with you fighting in the battle.”
I threw my hands up in frustration. “I can’t win against you, can I? I am sick and tired of you defending that whore! It’s either her or me! You can’t have us both!”
“Stop being unreasonable, mate,” Sesshoumaru spoke coldly to me and I swear the temperature in the room dropped a few degrees. “We will discuss your behavior after the meeting, so don’t plan on going anywhere.”
I turned around and picked up the paper and quill. I got off my mate’s lap and went to sit by Inuyasha and the others. I am pissed that he isn’t taking my feelings about Asuka very seriously. The other females at the table were giving me looks of pity. He would tell me later that I have embarrassed him in front of the other lords and mates but he was the one who embarrassed me by not getting rid of his whore.
To be continued…
Sango suddenly appeared at my side and asked if I was all right. Sesshoumaru waved her away, telling her that he could take care of his own mate. Sango bit her lip from saying something that she would regret later, so she walked away. I was angry at my mate for treating Sango like that. He had no right.

I threw my hands up in frustration. “I can’t win against you, can I? I am sick and tired of you defending that whore! It’s either her or me! You can’t have us both!”
“Stop being unreasonable, mate,” Sesshoumaru spoke coldly to me and I swear the temperature in the room dropped a few degrees. “We will discuss your behavior after the meeting, so don’t plan on going anywhere.”
I turned around and picked up the paper and quill. I got off my mate’s lap and went to sit by Inuyasha and the others. I am pissed that he isn’t taking my feelings about Asuka very seriously. The other females at the table were giving me looks of pity. He would tell me later that I have embarrassed him in front of the other lords and mates but he was the one who embarrassed me by not getting rid of his whore.
To be continued…
