Chapter 4

My father sat in his golden throne. He wore an all black kimono making his white skin standout. His long silky black hair is cleanly tied up in a high knot. His eyes were closed, seemingly sleeping if you do not know him that is… he’s probably thinking.

“You wish for my presence Father?”

He opened his eyes revealing the same hue as mine, his face not contorting to any emotion. “Ah… Sesshomaru…” his deep manly voice echoing throughout the room “I will go straight to the point my son. You have reached a certain age where you will join the elders, being my eldest; you’ll be replacing me as the head of the council.”

“And…?”

“Tell me Sesshomaru… do you have an intended?” his face looking slightly interested with his inquiry.

*Silence

Hearing no reply from me, he continued talking “You see I notice you leaving every now and then… and I was thinking that maybe someone, at last, had given you interest.”

“No father… I was just… hunting.”

“Hunting?” his voice with a slight hint of malice. “Ah yes… you don’t favor human blood but instead you like animal blood. Tell me Sesshomaru, my son… does it taste the same? Does it give you the same power that human blood gives us?”

“No father… it doesn’t taste the same but it gives the same amount of replenishment for some time… so I need to hunt more.”

“Ah... I see now… how about youkai blood…? They say its ambrosia.” He closed his eyes trying to remember some of his past memories. He opened his eyes “One of the reasons why we don’t often drink their blood is that they are also powerful beings and that they can also kill us.”

“…”

“What about a certain youkai… a royal inu yaokai named…”

My head shot straight up from what my father was saying. He couldn’t mean-

“Inuyasha?”

It took every last bit of control in me to stop myself from expressing any emotion from the last word he said. To show that I’m affected is to show weakness but the most beautiful name sounded vile when it came from his mouth.

“Tell me Sesshomaru… are you wooing to taste his blood? May be that’s why you keep on coming back to see him?” his voice full of false innocence. “To have his blood spread throughout your mouth, his blood so sweet that you revel on it-“

I can feel everything... from the feel of Inuyasha's pulse on my lips... my fangs puncturing his velvet soft and warm skin... to the smell of his blood... to the exquisite taste of it as it floods in my mouth... He's using his powers over me! He's trying to awaken my demon! “Stop it.” my fangs elongate together with my claws. I hid my claws by making a fist but my arm would not stop shaking from anger.

“Stop what? Isn’t that what he is to you? A mere source of nourishment?”

“NO!”

“He will be if you don’t stop this foolishness!” his voice booming, together with a burst of energy, spreading out the throne room. If I have not surrounded myself with my aura I would have been flying towards the wall.

“If you hurt him, hell won’t be enough to be your hiding place.” I said with my voice full of poison.

“Are you threatening me!” he said and stood from his throne, his fangs and claws showing, and his aura pulsing out sporadically.

“No. it is not a mere threat, father, I intend to do it.” I said and readied myself for an attack.

My father blurred from where he is and stood in arms length away from me. “INSOLENT FOOL!” my father charged his fist but struck the floor instead as I easily evaded his attack.

When everything settled, a large crater was left on the floor he sat on his throne again with position depicting nonchalance.

“This Inuyasha will be served in our table… his blood will flowing in our goblets.”

“If this ever happens it will be the end for all vampires. I will kill every vampire I see and I will have your life last! I assure you that!”

“You will turn your back on you kind? from your very own FAMILY!”

“What can’t you understand? I love him father… why can’t you just let him be?”

“For you would rather leave your kind and be with this worm!”

“Father… I do not intend to leave.”

“That is not what I saw Sesshomaru. I saw you turning your back on the council and having your life with this maggot!”

“That is not true father-“

“YOU DO NOT KNOW ANYTHING!” he bellowed again. “You can not see the future Sesshomaru, but I do. And I assure you… life with this demon is being with death himself. Gaurds!”

With one call vampires with black metal armor appeared from the shadows. “Take hold of him and bring him to the dungeons.”

“I’m sorry father but I cannot let that happen.” Everyone inside the throne room was held by my power. I turned and walked away.

“You’re not seriously considering that I can be stopped by your telekinesis?” my father’s voice that was very near said to me. I tuned to strike but he easily evaded. I saw him standing just meters away but another “him” sat on the throne with a livid facial expression. A power he never showed us.

The one standing just meters away from me spoke again “Sleep Sesshomaru.”

With that I felt an electric shock inside my head that rendered me unconscious.


It was all black. I feel like I’m floating on the vast nothingness.

“Sesshomaru!”

“Come on! Sesshomaru!”

“Miroku? Where are you? Where am I?” My brother suddenly appeared in front of me.

“We are inside you head… metaphorically speaking of course. Father had rendered your mind paralyzed because of his psychic shock.”

“Psychic shock?”

“Yes… psychic shock… another of his untold abilities. It’s sort of an electric shock but it targets the mind. I’m immune to this… and I can wake you… I think.”

“I think? You’re not sure?”

“I’m immune to this so maybe I can heal you and wake you up…”

“Then do what you can.”

“Okay. Oh… you’re locked up in the dungeons. I’m blocking father’s visions, so he can’t see you escaping and can’t see me helping you, but only to some extent. He’s probably finding a way to get out of the labyrinth of visions he’s in .When you wake up teleport yourself out the outer gates.”

Miroku’s face faded and the vast nothingness shifted to a dark damp dungeon. I was inside a cell lying on the floor. The iron bars of my cell emitted an eerie light “a special cell.” No amount of energy can break me out of this cell. It would only suck my energy away from me. I held on to the door and it opened. “Miroku.” I smirked. I got out of the cell and sank deep into the shadows appearing outside the outer walls.

The immaculate light of the moon once again touched my pale skin. I turned to the wall to see a hooded man. I instantly used my powers to stop him from moving.

“It’s me Sesshomaru! Is this how you thank me for what I did for you?!”

“Why do you have to sneak up?” I said in slight humor as I released him.

“Ha ha! Very funny.” He said as he uncloaked.

“What are you doing here? Go back! I don’t want you to be involved in this”

“Seriously Sesshomaru… do you think I’m not already involved in this? Do you think father would not lash out on me after I release his eldest son that took him so much effort just to stop him from leaving? I would not subject myself in that torture! I’m coming with you! Besides… I have a plan to keep you and your love puppy Inuyasha close to each other.” Miroku said, his eyes gleaming with mischievousness.

“I do not know if I can trust your plan Miroku.”

“You don’t have much of a choice. Now come one! Let’s go find ourselves a suitable land to where we can build our new home, why don’t we try the Western empire?” Miroku ranted as he pulled me deeper in to the shadows.


So while my brother. Miroku, does his plan… I decided to guard Inuyasha… but being near him is torture. His smell! He smells absolutely delicious- NO! No…oh Inuyasha you are the bane of my existence! But.. still… I want you… I was brought out of my mental musing with the sound of Inuyasha’s door closing. *good… he’s inside.* and by someone approaching me.

*he’s going to his private bath.*

*Miroku.* I turned to see him appearing from the bushes, smirking.

*do you want me to give you a mental image of what he’s going to do inside the bath?*

*leave him alone Miroku. If you don’t you’re the one who’s going to leave… the realm of the living.* I said narrowing my eyes.

He brought up his arms playfully and waving it *hahaha! You don’t have to be violent about it! Anyway… I’m here to tell you that I found the most wonderful place for my plan, Lord Lancelot von Christ.*

*What did you call me?*

*that’s my plan Sessho- I mean Lancelot. I’ll tell you everything when we get there.* he said and winked at me.

*Why, When and How I gave my trust to this man, I do not know.*

*I heard that! Just follow me will you?*

*As you’ve said… do I have any choice?*

*None* Miroku said grinning. *Now let’s go!* He said and Blurred out of vision.

I held on to the bridge of my forehead from an impending headache.

*What are you waiting for? A new moon?* Miroku said irritatingly. I blurred away and followed his lead.
