Best thing I never knew I needed (Disclaimer Neyo) by Gomez

Chapter 1

Disclaimer: I do not own InuYasha and it’s characters!!! LOL I own some of the plot! Mind you kind of a mix between the last air bender and InuYasha. All of them can bend something.

ENJOY

The blood dripped off the tips of my claws as I stared down into the lifeless eyes of another worthless demon. I did a quick flick to discard the disgusting blood from my hand. Examining the body once more I let poison drip from my hand on to the body. The poison worked fast ridding the world of another useless stench. I surveyed the area for anything else I could take my stress out on. Stretching my yokai across my lands, I sadly found nothing.

I slowly made my way back towards the castle where a little brown haired girl was waiting for me.

“Lord Sesshomaru,” she cried before attaching herself to my leg.

I looked down at her, never letting the stoic look that I carried around slip. In my heart I knew she yearns to see emotion, but not in front of my guards.

Jaken ran up to us and started pulling on Rin, “Rin let go of Lord Sesshomaru.”

“Stop it Jaken,” she cried as she gripped on to my leg for dear life.

The constant going back and forth started to not only get old, but also annoying. To end the fight I quickly picked Rin up and carried her away from the toad. Once inside I placed her down and patted her head before continuing to my study. She looked up at me with a gap-toothed grin before running back out the front doors to harass Jaken some more.

Sitting behind my desk I read through different letters from the different villages across my lands. There were letters addressing weddings to executions. I took my time reading then signing before sealing it with the royal seal. I then found a letter that caught my interest.

“Dear Sesshomaru-sama,

I wish I was writing you on better conditions, but unfortunately that is not the case old friend. The lords are growing restless with your resistance to mate. You will need to produce a heir that will continue on your legacy. In the next 5 months the lords will be expecting you to mate. And not long after that give birth to a son. I am warning you now before the lords start to push their daughters on you. Old friend you are doing an amazing job, but your people and your lords need a queen from you. We will see each other at the Northern Winter Castle for our annual Winter Ball next week. Be prepared to meet many ladies.

Best regards,

HIDEKI

I stared long and hard at the letter. I couldnt believe that they would force me to mate. I had no desire to mate. Maybe I could find someone to just have my heir and then do away with her. That would be suitable. I placed the letter in one of the many compartments of my desk before heading to my chambers. It would take a total of 5 days to reach the winter castle so I had my maids start to pack.

I soon found Rin and took her to the local seamstress.

“Good afternoon Emi,” I said to the woman who had her back to me.

She turned and graced me with a crocked smile.

“Lord Sesshomaru to what do I owe this honor,” she said with a slight laugh.

I sat down in front of the small table with Rin in my lap.

“We need new attire for the winter festivities in the Northern Kingdom,” I said watching her intently, “Both of us.”

“I see,” she said softly looking from me to the child, “Well I will do the little one first. Come child.”

She then stood holding her hand out to the small 5 year old. For her age Rin was very short. But it could be because of the blood bond I shared with her. From the looks of it she was growing like a demon child.

Emi stood Rin up on a platform before taking all of her measurments. She quickly wrote them down before directing me to also stand on the platform. She made quick work of taking my measurements.

Emi had been our family seamstress for the last 2-thousand years. She was very trustworthy and her work was always beautiful. She was the only one who I allowed to make my clothes and even go as far as to touch my person. Of course Rin was always an exception.

Once she was done Rin and I sat before her again.

“When will you be departing for the Northern Kingdom?” she asked never looking up from her notepad.

“In two days time,” I replied with a kind of playful tone in my voice.

She slowly looked up at me from her pad, “Sesshomaru Inu Tashio!”

“You have known that you would need clothes for the ball and you give me two days to create an entire wardrobe!” she yelled at me.

I gave her a smirk that only she could ever see. I stood and she stood. She glared at me before walking over and resting her hand on my arm.

“You remind me so much of your father. He was my best friend,” she said giving me a weak smile.

I bent down and placed a kiss on her forehead and then departed. The entire castle was in a hustle to prepare for our departure so I left Rin to help prepare as I went to the dojo for some peace and quiet.

Some where inside the EASTERN CASTLE

“Kagome you will chose a mate!” the king of the Eastern Lands yelled.

“No I will not! It is not required nor needed,” I said turning my back to the man I called father.

“Your sister married that fine young wolf, Kouga. Why will you not give love a chance?” he said with a sad face.

“I am a warrior we have no need for love,” I said walking towards the doors of his room.

“Kagome you will mate and that is final,” he said once more.

I went to open the door, but was stopped by his voice.

“Good night Kagome, my dear,” he said kindly.

I turned to him pulling my royal robe closer to me.

“Good night Father,” I said before storming out of the room.

Once reaching my room I slammed the door and jumped onto my bed. I screamed into the covers knowing that no one could hear me.

Being a water bender and a wolf demon was great, but I never got to really use my powers. I laid in bed for the rest of the night praying to the Kami’s that my father wouldnt push this mating thing.

NEXT MORNING

“Kagome tomorrow we travel to the Northern Kingdom for the annuel Winter Ball. Please go to the Sango and get some gowns made,” father said while reading a scroll as we ate breakfast.

“Okay father,” I said sourly, before standing and leaving without another word.

I walked into my room where my best friend waited for me. The all white wolf with silver percing eyes sat and stared as if he wanted something.

“Come on Miracle you are coming with me to see Sango,” I said smiling down at him.

He growled softly before we left the castle.

“Sango!” I yelled walking into the medium sized cot.

“Is that Kagome, aka best friend in the whole world, I hear,” she yelled coming from the back.

She ran up to me and embraced me like its been forever. When it truly was just this morning.

(Sango lived in the castle with me, because she is my fathers 'adopted' daughter.)

“Hey Miracle,” she said scratching the wolf’s ear, “Anyway what would you like today?”

I walked around and looked through some of the gowns on display, “Well I have to go to the boring winter ball like always so I need a 4 weeks worth’s of gowns. We leave tomorrow.”

“Well in case of you doing something so last minuet I made 14 gowns for you already. I will make another 14 and we will be good,” she said bring out 2 big bags that held the gowns.

“One more thing,” I said smiling at her,” YOUR COMING WITH ME.”

Her eyes got wide with surprise.

“Really?” she said with a big smile on her face.

“I asked daddy and he said yes,” I answered back before hugging her, “So you need to make yourself 4 weeks of clothing also.”

She then lost the twinkle in her eyes.

“I can’t afford nice material for myself,” she said rubbing her arm, “Thanks for the offer but I wouldnt fit in.”

I then busted out laughing.

“Here,” I said pulling out a purse.

I handed it to her and she unzipped it slowly. Her eyes twinkled at the amount of gold in the bag.

“I cant take this Kagome,”she whined.

“Nope father insisted, buy all the silk and satin you need to make youself 28 wonderful dresses. We will pick you up in the morning,” I said before running with Miracle home.
