bowed his head in acquiesced. Then turning sharply on his heels, the new Lord
of the Western Lands set off to find his soon-to-be ex-lover.
Toga
sat-up in bed with a start. His hair clung to his back from sweat as it
continued to trickle down his smooth face and bare muscular chest. His
breathing sounded loud to his acute hearing.
Swinging
his legs over the side of the futon, Toga striped out of his sweat drenched
sleeping pants. Walking naked into his bathing room, Toga steeped into the warm
filled pool of water, maybe another bath would take his mind off the worries of
the past couple of weeks.
Toga
wondered how his uncle was going to react to the twin sons of Sparda. The
inu-lord sighed in contentment as the relaxing scents of lavender penetrated
his nostrils and leaving him completely relaxed. Amber eyes slowly drifted shut
as memories came to the surface from over four hundred years ago.

heart captive.

Toga left the bathing pool. Drying off and slipping into a fresh pair of
sleeping pants, he leisurely climbed back into bed where the god of dreams took

removed. But now she watched her mate as he stared out over his land with
unseeing eyes. Her hand rested on her extended stomach feeling the gentle kicks
and movement of their pup from within as she approached Toga from behind.
You should start thinking of a name for him. He will be here in three months

release her went unanswered as Toga was lost in a haze of frustrated anger. He
was too far gone to listen to reason. The taiyoukai unleashed his merciless
rage on his mate – taking her against her will.
Dawn
was greeted with Toga empting his stomach on the floor of last night’s dinner
next to his bed. He sobbed silently to himself not wanting his sons to hear.
So
long ago did his transgression against Izumi happen and Toga was ashamed – he
had caused her to loose their first pup. Again, he cursed Sparda for leaving
but knew the silver eyes devil made the right decision to go.
For
had Sparda stayed, Toga would never had fallen in love with Izumi.
She
had proven to Toga that she was strong willed. Even after he had brutally
ravaged her, Izumi did everything in her power to show Toga he was not going to
break her.
He
smiled in memory.
Izumi
finally accomplished the one goal she initially set out to do – to capture his
heart.
From
that point on, Toga straightened himself out and properly courted Izumi. He
even went as far as to cleanse her body of his foul deed and heal her spirit.
A
quarter of a century later, Toga opened his heart and professed his love to
Izumi. Since then, the Western Lands flourished with warmth and life. And short
thereafter, Izumi gifted Toga with another son. Although Sesshoumaru possessed
his strength and ruthlessness, his son favored Izumi’s grace and elegance.
Sesshoumaru’s
feminine like qualities reminded Toga so much of his beloved first mate right
down to her poisoned whip and blue crescent moon. He wondered if maybe
Sesshoumaru should have been a female instead of a male.
He
shook his head no. Sesshoumaru was unemotional except when dealing with his
mate. Inuyasha brought the worse out of Sesshoumaru just to prove that he
could, which all was entertaining to him.
Servants
entered to bring Toga his morning tea and reports on the demon dragon, Ryuu –
another bane. Toga indicated to the mess he made. His personal attendant glared
at her lord with a questioning brow. Toga simply shrugged his shoulders going
back to reading the scroll.
The
rest of his morning was spent on how to inform his sons that he would be
leaving soon.
Quicksilver
eyes clenched tightly to ward off the invading sunlight that was seeping
through the cracks of the closed shutters.
Vergil
groaned as he attempted to shield his sensitive eyes from the accursed
brightness, but only one hand was able to move. He glanced down his body to
figure out what was impeding his right arm when he encountered a patch of stark
white hair.
/Dante/
he mused.
But
to his dismay, he blanched. Vergil remembered what happened to his lover.
Fearing the worse he struggled until a craggily voice caused him to cease all
movement.
“Will…you…(yawn)…stop
squirming,” the younger twin said using Vergil’s famous line.
Swallowing
thickly, Vergil replied, “Dante?”
Another
pair of quicksilver orbs greeted the early morning sun.
Dante
blinked a few times to get his bearings before looking up at his twin with
tears in his eyes.
“Oh,
thank god, Verge – you’re awake,” Dante exclaimed, hugging his brother.
Confusion
was clearly etched on his ageless face. Dante shrugged it off not wanting to
work up Vergil upon his awakening.
Dante
would tell his brother later about Trish. Right now more rest was required to
replenish their devil triggers.
When
Vergil woke again he was by himself. A quick check of his internal clock told
him that it was a little bit past

fight back the wave of dizziness and vertigo.
Once
the spell passed, Vergil slowly set about cleaning himself starting with a
bath.
After
feeling thoroughly refreshed from his bath, the older twin spotted his familiar
blue with Yamato and Force Edge on top of his clothes. He smiled. Dante must
have came in and lain out his clothes for him. As Vergil pasted a full length
mirror an image other than his reflection was staring at him.
“YOU!”
A/N:
Guess who Vergil was looking at? Gosh, didn’t think Toga was a bastard, huh?
Well, blame it on Sparda. No, don’t do that. Actually, more of Toga’s past will
come out. Well, want to learn more? Then stay tuned for the next chapter.

“I
must caution you to be extra careful around my other guests.”
“Why
is that, niisan?” Saburo inquired.
“They
are devil twins.”
“Devil
twins? There’s no such thing, Toga. You must be mistaken.”
“Ah,
but it is true, Saburo, and I’m telling you this for your own safety. They are
territorial and dangerous when riled, so if you value any vital body parts you
best stay away from them until they’ve become accustomed to you,” Toga replied
letting them know what would happened should they do not heed the warning.
