A Royal Pain

`Sesshoumaru was furious that the Lord of the South just thought he could get away with kidnapping his little brother. Inuyasha was his to kill, his to mate, and no man who wanted to live would keep his beautiful little brother from Sesshoumaru.

It took years to realize his true feelings for Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru’s heart had changed towards his brash younger sibling. Inuyasha was full of spit and fire which made him even more desirable to Sesshoumaru since there was no other that could compare to Inuyasha.

The fact that Katsutoshi Kaneko had the nerve to lie to him and then stole his little brother away made Sesshoumaru want to torture that despicable dragon Lord to death slowly melting him with his acidic poison.

Sesshoumaru knew in his heart he was in love with Inuyasha and although he may not say such things out loud to anyone Sesshoumaru knew what this nagging feeling was.

The fact that Inuyasha’s beautiful golden eyes looked like his beautiful Mother’s only added to Inuyasha’s charm. The wild young Inuyasha was everything desirable and as soon as he found his brother he would start to court him until Inuyasha agreed to be his mate.

The Powerful Lord Sesshoumaru would even put up with Kagome and his odd group of friends if it meant he could be with Inuyasha for all of time.

Howling into the night Sesshoumaru called all of his allies to his aid. Inu’s of every kind came out of hiding to fight with their Alpha. Sesshoumaru was going to claim the South for his own once this battle was done. Katsutoshi had no idea that hell was coming for him and once he had that bastard in his clutches he was going to rip him apart.

Demons came from the East and North as even Koga and his tribe heard the call of battle.

“It’s about time something interesting happened around here.”

Koga stated to his men as he sent out messengers to his brother tribes to find out if they wished to fight alongside him. He pretty much already knew the answer they would all come because ever since Naraku disappeared there was nothing to do other than kill a few low demons. Life without battle for a wolf demon was like a river without water utterly useless and empty.

**************************************************************************************

Inuyasha tried to struggle against the demons who were bathing him, but the poison in his system made him feel weak and sluggish not to mention the stupid collar that made him feel as though his will power was slowly draining away. His ears lay flat against his head and he looked like a sullen puppy with the pout he was sporting.

“I told ya bastards to quit touching me!”

Inuyasha growled as he tried a few attempts at clawing the servants only to slip and fall back into the water.

The female dragon demons just giggled at him.

“You are such a cute puppy. Now hold still while we comb that pretty silver hair of yours.”

It took five of the females to pull a struggling Inuyasha out of the water and dry him off. Then Inuyasha was forced to sit while one of the young demon girls placed rose oil into his hair. It was pretty strong and it gave Inuyasha a splitting headache on top of the fact that the girl was trying to pull his hair out by the roots.

“I am sorry my Lord, I know I am pulling but you have many snarls in your hair. I have a lotion that will help, but it will douse the lovely rose scent in your hair.”

Inuyasha pouted not giving a damn anymore. His body hurt from fighting those damn cuffs and here he was naked with chains on his wrists again being held down by a bunch of women every time he tried to pull away.

He felt the lotion being massaged into his scalp. It felt kind of nice and it definitely smelled better than that rose shit. Still he was not happy and there was no point in arguing with these demons anymore. The just laughed at him and treated him like a girl. If Sesshoumaru and his friends could see him right now they would all be laughing at him. This was so damn humiliating.

Soon after his hair was combed thoroughly the young demon braided his long hair putting ribbons of red all through the thick silvery mass. Then another group of demons came in with a rather large female that made Inuyasha want to run if he wasn’t chained down.

“Undo his chains, I will hold the boy if he gives me any trouble.”

The large demon stated as she walked toward Inuyasha who was ready to bolt.

“Don’t touch me!”

Inuyasha growled as the huge woman came towards him. As the dragon demon with the red hair came closer she inspected Inuyasha as Inuyasha tried to pull at his chains which were wrapped in a ring on the floor.

“You are just a pup. Our Lord should not have taken you. You are much too young to be mated.”

The dragon woman stated with sad eyes.

“I ain’t a little kid and I don’t want to be mated to your stupid Lord.”

The dragon demon smiled sadly.

“Well, you do not have a choice in this matter. None of us do so you will have to accept his mark. My name is Akahana and I will be your tailor so unless you wish to go about naked I suggest you make things easy on us both by at least wearing something suitable so that you may try to escape later. I took your old clothing, but did not burn it like I was told. When things settle we will try to help you since none of us wish to see you harmed by our Lord. He is not kind to those he has mated and has killed his other mates for small infractions.”

All of the demons nodded as Inuyasha sat shocked at this news. This Lord Katsutoshi Kaneko was not even liked by his own people.

“Why do you stay with this Lord Kaneko bastard if he is so bad?”

Inuyasha asked still feeling very weak. He would not fight Akahana if she was going to help him escape.

“He has an orb that will devour our souls if we do not follow his rule. That is how he killed our other Lords. Lord Kaneko has an affinity for young men. Some of them were human and we were expecting a new human Lord……….”

“Kuranosuke Takeda, the young Lord we were helping to rid of the demons.”

“Yes. Except the demons he calls upon are not dragons like us. They are multitudes of weaker demons that he controls the feed off the orb. It is how Lord Kaneko commands them.”

Inuyasha now understood.

“Will you not lose your own soul by helping me? I want to fight this Katsutoshi myself. I can’t do much though with this fucking collar around my neck.”

Akahana smiled but it did not go to her large silver eyes.

“I am old and have lived a long life. We all believe that someday someone will come to save all of us. Seeing that you are similar to the demon Lord of the West we are hoping he will come to rescue you so that we can prove our loyalty to him.”

Inuyasha almost laughed at that.

“Sesshoumaru wouldn’t come to save me unless I have a use to him. So far I have had to get myself out of situations like this alone so don’t get your hopes up. However if you can help me get this collar removed I can fight.’
“I had a sword with me, but it was dropped when I was kidnapped. If one of your demons could go to the human village where Kuranosuke lives, my human companions will come for me. They have my sword with them and it can defeat Katsutoshi.”

Akahana smiled sadly.

“We are not allowed out of the castle, but we will help you escape so that you can get your sword if you truly wish to help us.”

Inuyasha shook Akahana’s hand.

“I will do this for you for your generous help. Now I better put some clothing on before Katsutoshi checks in on us. I doubt that I would be able to fight his attentions off with me feeling as weak as I do.”

Akahana clapped her hands and a young dragon female with long lavender hair and violet eyes stepped forward.

“This is Chie our herbalist. Chie will produce a concoction that will give you strength of will and should counteract the collar for a time. Chie you know what to do.”

The girl left and Inuyasha was measured for his new kimono. He was also given a white fundoshi to cover his genitals.

Akahana picked out a red kimono to match Inuyasha’s ribbons with white under clothing. Inuyasha put it on and the Akahana quickly hemmed the hakumas since they were a little bit too long.

He was also given tabi socks and some kind of boots that were similar to Sesshoumaru’s.

A large mirror was brought out for Inuyasha to see himself in.

Inuyasha gawked at his appearance. He looked like a fucking girl wanting to pull out the damn braid. It was just a damn good thing they didn’t put make up on his face or he would have told all the females to go fuck themselves.

Akahana felt her Lord approach.

“Lord Kaneko is coming.”

All of the demon dragon females fell to the floor with Inuyasha standing there trying to figure out a way to avoid the bastard as he hid behind the mirror.

“Where is my Inuyasha?”

The Lord demanded as he looked down at his servants.

One of the girls pointed in the direction of the mirror and then Lord Kaneko saw boot covered feet.

After ordering his servants to take the mirror away Lord Katsutoshi Kaneko stood looking at Inuyasha with a lust filled face. None of his prior mates held such beauty as this creature did. The boy was alluring. Indeed he now had his trophy bride and all would be envious of him.

“You are beautiful.”

Katsutoshi stated as he walked around Inuyasha who was doing his best not to blow up. He hated this demon and if it wasn’t for the cuffs that were attached to his ankles and wrists that Akahana had to reattach he would kill this son of a bitch.

Inuyasha just stood there snarling at Katsutoshi as the dragon Lord pulled Inuyasha forward kissing him again and then slid the kimono out of the way as he once again bit into Inuyasha adding a little more poison since it was obvious that first dose wasn’t strong enough.

Inuyasha wanted to bite back, but if he did he would be fully mated to this asshole and he refused to do such a thing, but he did try to claw the guy up which only seemed to cause Katsutoshi to bite even deeper into his flesh.

As Katsutoshi released his teeth Inuyasha fell forward and passed out into his arms. Katsutoshi chuckled a bit as he uncuffed Inuyasha and carried him like a new bride to his chambers.
