She looked into the Distant mountains of the Western Lands and let out a sigh, how has it been since I looked that way?
'your lady the orders have been carried out, we may proceed back to the Castle if you like to' a youkai with a scar on this right eye said
'Yes Ashira, lets go back its been a long day, it was great idea to come here and help rebuild, the typhoon it sure did a lot of damage' She replied, the truth is that this was the only place could she see the mountain of the western lands, the ones she used to travel with Him...
It was a lovely Spring the flowers had bloom very nice this year, this being her 4th on the throne, she had horde of suitors, both humans and youkai alike, but to her the only person she would consider, was soon to be married..
after all the day she left that place was the day she decided that he was never gonna see her that way and staying would have broke her heart even more, all she left was with a crystal lotus pendant that he gave her for her 16th birthday.
It wasn't something made of diamonds, just a small trinket she had express interest when he look her out to the city to buy some more kimono materials, she like it very much, and how much she wanted to forget about him this was the one thing she couldn't leave behind or throw it away.
She stared at the scabbard of her sword and sighed, she wasn't a fighter, she more diplomatic kind of person. And the recent hint of war that the north was planning with the south was disturbing her. Being the east, like the entire country, we have youkai as well the humans living in our lands, but unlike ¾ of the country, the east had one golden rule 'One should treat others according to how one would like others to treat them ' youkais and human were told to live in harmony.
Of course we all have differences but with a comprise on both both parties peace was eventually sorted out. In these eastern lands there was always one royal line, and 2 camps, one being the human and the other being the youkais, the royal line being the oldest line since the lands were formed.
The royal line commanded the Eastern Dragons, they were a wise old group that really amused themselves by becoming the folklore parents would use to scare their kids into bed. It was rumored that the Eastern Dragons were actually part of the royal line, but no one dared to find out, fearing that they could be eaten alive.
The truth was that in the beginning there was 2 lines of family that were fighting for possession of these lands, one was the line of magic, and the other the line of warriors, because the warrior clan disgraced the line of magic's clan youngest daughter by taking her by force, the line of Magic elders curse them so that they shall always be dragoon and maybe once every new moon they should turn human just for the night.
But just like all families there'll be a time when they would once cross paths, after many generations on one moonless night, they met, he looked a bit confused and she was just defying her mother's nagging
she found him along a riverside, he had never seen such a pretty maiden, he wanted to make her his, but then knowing that after tonight he shall return to be the dragon, he told her the truth, she wasn't scared at all, she had read about their story, and felt that magic was indeed a dangerous thing, for the next 5 years or so, every single night she would spend it with him, in his dragon/human form, and on his hand he tried to be as gentle as he can be
her parents were worried, they tried to get her married off, as she was growing older by the day, but each suitor ran away frightfully after every evening date she had with them, fearing for their lives.
Her parents didn't understand, they tried to follow her, but each evening she would dissapear with out a trace. They eventually found out by accident, you see dragons love raw meat, one evening her mum saw her entering the kitchen and coming out with a bloodied raw meat, her mother worried decided to call her husband to follow, they followed her to the meadows.
And then they saw something black and rather big, her mother then fainted in shock. Her father then proceeded to where they were, she was shocked to see him there, he on he other hand wanted o ask him for her hand in marriage, but the earliest new moon was tomorrow, her father being the village senior knew the spell to turn him human
he proceeded to do so, she was shocked, he was grateful, he then said 'I would love to ask your daughter hand in marriage', the father could only nod, and was grateful that maybe once day this curse of the warrior clan may be broken
'Ashira, could you get me General Kono and General Eguchi' she call out to Ashira who was always outside of her door. Time to have some preventive measures. For the next 3 hours they decide to not interfere in the war, and to strength the border cities so any break out of war would deal them minimal damage.
It wasn't that the south was weak, and if the southern prince asked she would grant him the manpower, but the south were a prideful people, even thou help would help them win they would rather win with the own power, which wasn't small either.. they had a pretty good chance, she felt...
It was getting dark, she decided to have her dinner in the garden, while having her dinner she looked out at the moon, its a crescent moon, she sighed.. so beautiful but if I touched it I'll only cause hurt for myself she thought on..
It was late at night, Sesshomaru was walking along the halls of the western castle, walking aimlessly he ended at the doors of the room, what was behind these doors, was a distant memory, a memory of the time that this castle was actually filled with the vicious laughter of a certain human girl.
The distant period he recalled, a time that he actually felt alive, her pouty lips, her ravishing black hair flowing in the wind, how long has it been, where she went, what happened to her, despite the initial anger he had, he wanted to know, but all the resources he sent out bore no news of her, is as if she suddenly went with the wind
It wasn't that he didn't knew her love for him, but after all he was a youkai and she was a mere human girl, he choose not to let it go on any further, he choose to bring the Lady of the Northern Lands to his castle and to his bed...
When she left, he was angry, angry that she left him with just a note that said 'Arigatou Gonzaimashita', and nothing else, she left all the clothes and the riches, even his guard didn't know how she had went away, all they knew was, one fine winter morning she wasn't found in her bed.
He remembered, all he felt at that time was rage, he felt betrayed, was this Sesshomaru so unimportant that she thinks a note would suffice? The servants not wishing to anger him, or remind him, stop speaking of her, now only Jaken would say her name ever she softly in his own room when reminiscing about the old times when they used to travel round the western lands.
Ok I wanted to write this, I know the history is abit shaky elaborate once another Character come on, other then that please R&R
just to clarify, the he and she in the history section was the first in the Royal line, and no they didn;t do it before marriage, even thou it does sound abit wrong the way I wrote it... when I said gentle I mean in the way he treats her, not in bed, *cough cough*
as for Sesshomaru, in his bed mean in his bed and nothing else, he;s not that h*rny, just wanted to brush off Rin, he;s such an asshole... LOL
