The Concealed Form of the Inu Daiyoukai

\Besides even though she was attrached to men she has been behaving like one for so long, its just apart of her personality so even if they did find out she would dress and act the same. She loved to dominate. Note: Sess was raped by Ryu that’s how he discovered that she was a female. Ryu over powered and kidnapped her father saved her is mortally wounded and runs of to save inuyasha and his mom. Sess ends up pregenant loses the baby. She left Ryu their as a remainder of her shame (getting her father killed) and she wanted the tenssaiga because she lack confidence in herself even though she hid it. She hates rapist with a passion and particularly enjoys torturing them when she has a chance.

Chapter 2 (five years after Naraku’s death)

Lord Sesshoumaru had just arrived from his trip to Northern Africa. A trip he usually made once every 50 years. However he made the trip early this time because the magic of the chameleon stone is starting to fade fast. He thinks it is due to his increase in strength. He wanted to either find a stronger chameleon stone or find a way to make the magic of the stone he possess stronger. As far as she was concerned one person closed to him died because of his true identity, he did not want any others under his protection to suffer the same fate. He knew he was a true daiyoukai now and he felt he could defeat any adversary, but he didn’t want any casualties because of some youkai with closed minds.

Years ago he wouldn’t have cared who was killed as long as he was victorious. Now however things have changed, he has change. He knows what it is like to lose someone important to him. He didn’t want to inflict that pain on any innocent bystanders. He also knew that he worked too damn hard to just hand over his position to anyone else. If he did, the followers of the elders will want to know why. Since the magic of the stone is fading, they would soon find out anyway.

Because of Inu Tashio and his Mothers efforts, all of the other nobles and royal subjects disregard the elder’s rules and no longer killed the first born daughters. Since the elders were trapped in limbo thanks to Inu Tashio no one was afraid to disobey them. The only ones that still stuck to tradition were the four elders and there followers. Most of the followers were killed. The remaining few have gone into hiding. They will be easy to deal with if they ever decide to rise up against him. Although the four elders were very powerful Sesshoumaru did not fear them in the least. He knew the barrier his father placed on the elders would not last forever. The elder’s followers could do nothing to break the barrier, but the elders will figure out how soon. When they do, they will be angry that their traditions have been ignored. If they find out a female is the Lord of the West, they are going to be mad as hell. The artifact that Inu Tashio used to trap them the (Trance Net) was the last of its kind. If was destroyed when the barrier was raised. Since there is no other way to trap them again, Sesshoumaru was determined to find a way to face them head on.

He wasn’t afraid of the elders wrath, it was just that Sesshoumaru had been wearing the mask of a male for so long, he didn’t how else to be. He was comfortable in his male form. If he was to show his true identity he would get less respect and would fear him (her) less. The few that would be stupid enough to challenge him will just have to remind them of their place the hard way. He knew the chameleon stone power would fade soon, but he decided he still will dress and act the same. His personality wasn’t just part of his cover, it was who he really was (even though one of his personality traits is to mask his emotions by acting indifferently, that is apart of his personality).

Even though he and Inuyasha were allies, he couldn’t just step down and give the throne to him. Even though Inuyasha has proven his strength, many youkai will not accept a hanyo as a Lord. He knew Inuyasha could take care of himself, but as an Alpha ‘male’ (female) it is his responsibility to protect his pack. It has always been his responsibility but he denied it until a few years ago. After his father put him through very difficult tests (even after his death) to show him the right path of a true daiyoukai, he finally accepted his responsibilities. Knowing his little brother, the last thing he would want to do was rule any kingdom. His brother loved his village; there is no way he would want to leave his family and friends behind (if he took them with him they would be in danger as well. Not only because they were human, but because he was a hanyo. The elders will use his family against him). He also knew his pack would take care of Rin. He told the old miko Kedae to train Rin to become a village miko. Not only is Rin surrounded by people he knows will protect her, but she will learn to take care of her self as well. He would have preferred to keep Rin at his side, but because his veil will soon be lifted, and he will be persuade by the elders. If Rin is with him she will be caught in the crossfire. He figured she will be better off with people she knew and trusted.

‘She already died once because of me, I will not allow it to happen again. Even if those bastards are fortunate enough to destroy me, they will not harm her. Nor will they harm my pack’ He frowned as he just admitted in his thoughts what his heart has known for years. He doesn’t just consider them his responsibility; he cares about all of their well being, and not just Rin’s.
Then he scoffed and thought: ‘Tch, as if those fools could defeat me.’ Even though he came close to death more then once he was confident that he would be around a long time (still arrogant, proud and stubborn, but will not let his pride endanger others). He also refused to let anyone else get their hands on his fathers’ lands, especially the elders. If they defeated him and took over, the land will become hell on earth. No one would be safe. He would have killed the elders long ago excepted they can only be killed in their whole form. The only form they have ever shown is their astro plane forms (Some people believe that when a person goes to sleep their astro plane form leaves their body and travels to the dream world.) These forms cannot be destroyed because every weapon passes through them. Even the Tensaiga can’t destroy them because they are not dead.

‘I will find away to kill them if need be. They are alive somewhere, I will just locate there bodies and rip them to shreds.’

As he walked to Inuyasha village to pay a visit to Rin and the pack, he thought about the last battle his father was involved in. The battle that took his life.

‘

His mother and father told him his true identity and why they kept it hidden. He was also told to never remove the chain from his neck (once he hit puberty the chameleon stone had to touch his body in order for the spell to continue.) He was also told how his identity was kept hidden and the ritual performed to do so.

His parents’ mating was arranged for political reasons. So his parents didn’t love each other as mates should, but they respected each other. They both had unconditional love for there child. They worked together to change the ridiculous laws of the court (the destruction of the first female as well as many other laws that mostly everyone was against). Even took a lot of effort, his parents were able to make it so no other female child will have to face this danger. The elders refused to change their ways. Although the elders were against it the traditions were changed, but not without a huge price. As Inu Tashio wished, a civil war did not occur however an epic battle took place between him and his former alley. A battle that took his eventually took his life.

His so called friend found out Sesshoumaru true identity. Instead of helping him change the elders’ laws, he black mailed him. He wanted Inu Tashio Land for centuries. In fact he knew Sesshoumaru’s identity for a long time. He was just waiting until he gained enough power and the right opportunity to strike. Inu Tashio was unable to detect his former friend true intentions until he betrayed him. His enemy was able to hide his agenda because of a one of a kind mask he possessed. One of the mask abilities was to control his body physical reactions. In other words it could control his heart rate when he lied as well as the pheromones his body gave off. Another of the mask abilities allowed him to see through veils. That’s how he was able to see though Sesshoumaru spell a long time ago (it also was able to conceal its magical aura so it could not be seen or detected unless the owner was in his true form). However the mask powers were hard to master and it took him a long time to gain complete control of the mask before he decided it was time to take over the Western Lands (which is when the hidden deceit begun.)
Because of the mask Inu Tashio could neither hear nor sense the lies he told him nor did he know of the mask in the first place.

Since Inu Tashio and his Queen had an open relationship, Inu Tashio mated with another (much to Sesshoumaru disapproval). His mother didn’t agree with the mating either since she considered his new mate beneath them. (She didn’t mind him getting another mate but she did mind him mating with someone she considered to be an insect.) She didn’t hate humans, she just thought youkai were better. Sesshoumaru’s mother even heard that he had the old sword smith Totosai make a sword designed to protect his new mate. He also had a sword made to bring beings back from the dead. She figured he must really love the human and his unborn pup to do that.

Sesshoumaru had the same sentiments as his mother. He also believed mating humans made his father weak. He believed his weakness, his emotions would be his down fall (it was, but not in the exact way Sesshoumaru thought). His enemy attached his castle while Inu Tashio was dealing with the elders by using the trance net he found (Inu Tashio certainly did his research) Mean while his new mate was waiting for him in her village. She was about due to give birth to their child; shortly her and her child life would be in danger because of a certain human samurai named Takemaru. While Inu Tashio was dealing with the elders, Sesshoumaru and his mother were back at the castle. Even though the castle was well guarded (by many of his best warriors) and Sesshoumaru was more then capable of taking care of the castle, they were no match for the enemy. Another ability of the mask was to send an enemy in a hypnotic state for a short period of time (it took the mask a long time to charge up for this attack). So he hypnotized everyone in the castle. Then he kidnapped Sesshoumaru and held him for Ransom. The Western Lands and Inu Tashio’s life for Sesshoumaru’s. Inu Tashio went to confront his enemy at the mountains, which was his strong hold. He got their only to see his daughter, his true daughter for the first time badly injured with her clothes torn off. From her scent Inu Tashio knew what the bastard had done to her. His enemy had the chameleon stone preparing to black mail Inu Tashio and taunt him for not being able to protect his pack. While this was going on his human mate was going into labor. So not only did he have to save Sesshoumaru life after days of dealing with the elders; but he had to save his human mate and his unborn child (way too much pressure). The great Daiyoukai went into a rage and attached his worst enemy… Ryukotsusei.
