Part 10

*~*~*

“NAOMI!!!” The tigress nearly jumped up in fright as her lord roared in outraged. Amaya just search his chamber and found no sign of the Inu prince, only the dead maimed body of Ume. Yukiko was crying hysterically at the moment and crouching her sister’s body close. He didn’t have time to counsel her, Sesshoumaru was missing damn it!


“What’s the matter my lord?” Naomi was adorn in her best formal kimono make out of the spider youkai waver’s finest silk. It was a gift from Amaya, she had adore it more than anything else in her possession. “Would you wish me to prepare the bath after your recent battle my lord? Or do you wish me to relief your stress first?” Naomi asked hopefully totally oblivious to the Northern Lord’s enraged snarl.


“Don’t you dare Naomi pretending that everything is fine~” Amaya hissed as grab the tiger youkai by the throat and tighten his grip lifting the female youkai a good three feet up the floor. “Where is Sesshoumaru?”


Naomi was choking and tears started to stream down her face. Why? Why was her love still concern for that Inu when he was gone? He had never care if one of his ‘companion’ had mysteriously disappeared…Not with Tsuki… Not with Cho… He had never care if she left without telling him…

He shouldn’t care! He should act like the Amaya she knew when the bitch was gone for good!

“I…*cough*…don’t…*cough* know…” Naomi was turning a nice of purple as the poison from Amaya’s claw made it’s way into her blood and she felt as if her body was slowly burning from the inside out…


“Don’t lie to me Naomi~ Where is *my* wife~” Amaya pour more bluish poison into her neck wound and hissed.


“…*Cough*…*cough*…Raiga…*cough*cough*…Raiga…has…*cough*…*cough*……him…” Naomi felt herself being drop to the floor and after her coughing fit stopped and open her eyes again Amaya was already long gone leaving her alone in her chamber…


She didn’t know why but her tears wouldn’t stop as she buried her face into her kimono… for nearly ten years she had lied to herself….


He never love her…

Never…

She felt so cold….

Why…

*~*~*


Sesshoumaru groaned silently as he regain consciousness… he slowly open his eyes and found himself to be once again tie up on the bed. But this time he was not in Amaya’s bed… Sesshoumaru glance around and examine his surrounding. He seem like to be in some sort of house on top of mountain… if his sense didn’t fail him. He sniff around carefully and recognize an unfamiliar smell lingering on himself!


“It look like my darling is awaken.” Sesshoumaru snapped his head around and face the direction where the voice came from. It was male taiyoukai sitting by the side of the bed and he just notice now that he was NAKED!

Sesshoumaru want to shout at the strange youkai but his voice was still dead and if not for the fact that Amaya’s power suppress restrain bracelets were still on his wrists he really want to rip the hungry smirk off the youkai’s face.

“Don’t like to talk huh? Doesn’t matter I’ll get you scream my name on top of your lungs soon~” Raiga smiled cockily as he took off his half open kimono and creep toward the struggling Inu youkai.

“You’re so beautiful Lord Sesshoumaru~ just like your mother…” Sesshoumaru froze at the spot as Raiga work his hand along his inner thigh. “No wonder Amaya pick you over my stupid sister…”

What!?

The Southern Lord must have notice the puzzled look in the Inu’s eyes he chuckled as he put his elbow on both side of the pale youkai’s head and stared into those glass-like golden orbs.

“Didn’t you know? Your mother was Amaya’s betroth but too bad she ran away with Inutaisho when your father came to the Northern Palace for their engagement party. Oh~ the humiliation Amaya went through~” Raiga said it in a sing-song voice as he ran his tongue along the frozen youkai’s jaw line.


“I wonder why Amaya was so kin to have you? Was it the fact that he couldn’t have your mother he could at least have a look alike?”

But Sesshoumaru didn’t hear those hurtful words. He was blocking him out, he was blocking the whole world out.

//Was it true?//

//Did you really think of me as a replacement for someone that was long dead? //

//Was I, Sesshoumaru being a second best in your eyes too Amaya?.....Just like Father…//



*~*~*


When Inuyasha snuck into the Northern Palace he was greeted with the sight of pure chaos.

What the hell?

Inuyasha’s ears perk up as he could hear his brother’s name being mention in hush whisper conversion between the servants as they ran among the palace halls.

“…sshoumaru-sama…killed….Lord….screaming….”

“…….Lady Naomi….dead….”

“-killed….Yukiko…Ume…Sesshoumaru-sama…gone…”

“…Lord Raiga…”

Inuyasha couldn’t take as he grab one child servant as he ran beside the bush he was hiding in the palace garden. The hanyou clamped his hand over the boy’s mouth preventing the scream that will alert the palace guards and drag the human deeper into the garden where it was dense with thick bushes.

“Now… you listen boy. I’m not going to kill you if you don’t scream you got me?” The boy nodded fearfully as the hanyou scowled.

“I’m going to ask you a few questions and if you answer me truthfully I’m going to let you go afterward.” The boy nodded as Inuyasha slowly move his hand away. “…Wh…what….do…do…you want?” The boy stuttered.

“First, where the hell is Sesshoumaru? And secondly, what the hell happened here?” The boy look even more fearful than before as his eyes widen at the name of his lord’s ‘wife’ came out of the stranger’s mouth in such disrespecting manner.


“Silence! Don’t you dare say Sesshoumaru-sama’s name in this tone. If the other hear you, you’ll be in big trouble!” The boy covered the shocked hanyou’s mouth and scowled at the lack of manner display by the half demon. Inuyasha snarled as he push the kid’s hand away from him and hiss at the boy. “Answer my question brat!” The boy bowed his head sadly and whisper. But with Inuyasha’s sharp hearing he caught every word came out of the human’s mouth clearly.


“…Lord Raiga kidnapped Sesshoumaru-sama and our Lord lost him even he had beaten the Southern Lord… his highness is preparing for battle right now. The South won’t go unpunished for what their Lord had done.” Inuyasha was stoned. He didn’t even notice the kid slip away from his grip and ran back into the palace.


Sesshoumaru….

Side story~

*~*~*


Sesshoumaru’s 100th birthday party -


“Are you having a good time Lord Amaya?” The North Lord glance behind his shoulder at the approaching Western Lord. He arched an elegant eyebrow at the Tai Inu before resuming to his previous position, staring down at the grand garden on the roof of the Western Palace.

“Leaving all your guests behind Inutaisho?” Amaya gestured the other side of the palace where the party that was being held- without out either of the hosts that were suppose to be there.

Inutaisho followed his glaze and found out what had captured the eyes of the most notorious taiyoukai among their kin.


“He really do look like Kiri…” Inutaisho sighed dreamily. The one down in the garden sleeping under the sakura shade was no other than his son- Sesshoumaru.


“Oh? Why bring that up?” Amaya sip on the priced sake that was among one of the finest from his collection and drunk hungrily upon the sight below him.

He had to agreed with the Inu, the youngster down there was like an exact copy of his mother….


“I’m planning to arrange a marriage for my son…” Amaya glance at the other youkai, frowning slightly at the sly smile reach the other’s muscular face. “Who’s the candidates?” Inutaisho shrugged. “Either one of the offspring of my court or some noble from either East or South.” Amaya knew he deliberately left out the North. Although he hate to admit it but the sly old dog got him there.


“I want him.” Inutaisho smirked. “How much would you willing to pay for him then Amaya?” Amaya suppress the urge to strangle the Inu youkai that had stole his beloved Kiri from him two hundred fifty years ago. “The North will be the West’s ally for as long as I rule.” Inutaisho struck out his hand and the two shook on it for he know Amaya will rule for a long time- “Deal.”


“Hn.” Amaya snorted lightly and return to watch the sleeping child down there ignoring the other youkai as Inutaisho knew he worn out his welcome and silently walked away from where the other taiyoukai was, watching his sleeping child. No one saw the Inu left with a sad smile on his face.


/I’m sorry Sesshoumaru… it look like it’s up to you to fix the damage your poor excuse of a father had done all those years ago… I’m so sorry…/

Unknown to the three of them the fourth member that had been watching flown down from the sky…

…please forgive me…my son… A soft female voice whisper as the soft breeze caress the young Inuyukai’s soft feature… but he slept on without even waking… as the Northern Lord continue to watch him…


/Please forgive me…/
