Bachelor's true nightmare by the Dah

It's My Life

A/N: Hehee.. Finally got this started. Thought the beginning is a bit boring and long, keep reading. I'm getting to the point.. after a few hundred words. :D

Chie: Hmm... I see you really got inspired.. o.O wow..

BTW: This fic is a collaboration fic, meaning that I will write some of the chapters and Chiera will do the rest. This first chapter is written by my hand, and I will warn you: This is my first own fanfiction. (not a rewritten short play or something like that. :D ) I'm quite proud of it. ;)

Chie: And I can't wait to steal the pen into my hands for the next chapter.. –mwhahahahaaa-

Summary: Seen the movie "the family man?" Yes? Then, you may find the settlement of this fic familiar. What if sesshoumaru will be cursed? What if he finds himself from an unfamiliar environment, surrounded by unfamiliar people, who now are his family? And he has no idea how to get out.... And his youki gets sealed too!

Disclaimer: I certainly do not own either Inuyasha or the chapter's title. Inuyasha belongs to my God Rumiko Takahashi and the chapter title is from Bon Jovi's song. :D

Chie: And the idea of stealing song titles was originally mine!

The sounds of battle could be heard from the distance. Sword against each others, their beautiful metallic sound graced the pure air of the Japan in Sengoku Jidai period. The nature was so pure that it looked untouched, but in some places one was still able to see the traces of men, even here. But even more clearly one could see the traces of demons, battling one of their petty battles. For demons there were nothing else than war, battles and power. Every demon wanted – no – needed power. They were beings based on their rage, their hate and their will to kill. Most of all demons fought with each other but there were times when they just wanted to kill. And for that purpose humans existed. Humans were nothing but a disgusting and pathetic race, and as such, they were born to be killed. Of course there were some youkais and hanyous who didn't think this way and wanted to protect humans. One of the greatest in this small group of youkais was Inu no Taisho, the infamous long dead Western Taiyoukai and a father to Inuyasha, a hanyou who was a disgrace to the whole Inuyoukai clan. Or so Sesshoumaru, Inu no Taisho's heir and first born thought. It was actually Sesshoumaru who was battling right at this very moment.

Sesshoumaru dodged his opponent's blow gracefully and was becoming bored. He had hoped much from this peculiar opponent, because the demon's cruelty and power were well known. But it was becoming clear that he had hoped too much. The Demon was widely known as "Maiden killer" because he had created a habit to eat only the flesh of pure maidens. Hundreds of young human girls had already met their end in "Maiden killer's" mouth and because Sesshoumaru's ward Rin had been in danger to become one of them, had Sesshoumaru had no other choice than end this pathetic creature's life. The Maiden Killer made its last attempt to catch his superior youkai, but Sesshoumaru was too good to be trapped like that. Even as one armed, Sesshoumaru was still the merciless Ice lord and again proved himself to be worth of his fame. Sesshoumaru send a powerful blast with Toukijin towards the ugly green demon, who finally was sent to hell.

"Nothing less from the great Sesshoumaru-sama", said the little green imp called Jaken, Sesshoumaru's retainer. He came out of his hiding place in the forest soon after the fight had ended.

"Hmmph", Sesshoumaru answered. He had nothing to say to the little imp, but that was all the imp had ever hoped to get.

"Sesshoumaru-sama!" shouted a young human girl as she too came out of the forest.

Sesshoumaru did not answer to the little girl whose life he had just saved.

After cleaning his blade from the Maiden killer's blood, Sesshoumaru sheathed his weapon and started to walk his back turned to his followers.

Of course his ward and his retainer didn't mind this act because they were already used to it. Their lord never said too many words and never did anything out of place. Some could have said that Sesshoumaru had a long long stick stuck up in his ass and that would be a reason good enough to explain the Western lord's iciness, but his followers would say that Sesshoumaru was just that way, and thus, wanted nothing to change, for their lord was already perfect.

Sesshoumaru's and his follower's day was nowhere near to an end. Rin was riding her lord's dragon steed for a young human wasn't strong enough to keep in the same pace as the demon lord. Jaken was old but he was youkai, and thus no such finesse was granted for him. Sesshoumaru of course travelled by foot. The group was actually returning to Sesshoumaru's castle because they had been travelling months trying to find that cursed hanyou Naraku, but after realising that it was not possible right now Sesshoumaru had made a decision to return to his keep and after dealing a bit with his mountain's of paperwork, he would be able to return to his "stress relieving vacation" to kill Naraku.

'Can't believe that the bastard was again able to run from this Sesshoumaru' The Ice lord thought.

'Well, you should. Because - HE DID.' His inner demon reminded him.

'You don't need to remind me' Sesshoumaru snarled back to his annoying second persona.

'But I do.. I really don't think that we should head back to our nest running with a tail between our legs.'

'We are not running, we simply retreat and regroup. It's the basics of war strategy.'

'A way of a coward to explain his run home, back to his mother' the Inner demon muttered.

'This Sesshoumaru is no coward. It's just that our land need our attention too.'

'Blaah blaah.. I'm not listening'

'Do as you wish, but remember that the lives of the people of the west are in our hand.'

Sesshoumaru sighed. His inner youkai was useful sometimes but for most of the time it was just an annoying hindrance. It did not care for the civilized life and education, and that was the reason why it was sometimes difficult to explain something to him that Sesshoumaru himself thought to be reasonable. But on the other hand it helped him to return to his true form and it had a great knowledge in his clan's ways, both the ancient and the new ones. And it kept him from becoming lonely. Although Sesshoumaru had his retainer and his ward with him almost all the time, he sometimes craved for someone to speak with, someone who could oppose him and create a new path when the old one finally had ended.

'If you are that lonely, get a mate', His inner demon suggested.

'This Sesshoumaru does not need a mate.'

'But if you need someone to share your ideas with, then a mate would be an ideal solution.'

'Silence! I have no patience today to deal with your crap of mates and loneliness.'

'Oh, now I know why you are this tense with this subject'

'Pray tell me'

'You don't want to obey your fathers wish, and you haven't met anyone good enough to meet your standards.'

Now his Inner demon had got his full attention. It even had the right idea in its thought process.

'Go on'

'And though you are in a desperate need of a good fuck, you want to test your endurance and you have no idea how to woo a woman into your bed with your missing paw...' Sesshoumaru's inner youkai blabbered.

Sesshoumaru sighed. Though his second persona had had the right idea in the beginning, the end was just utter nonsense.

'..and you are waiting for Rin to grow mature enough that you could have your way with her...'

'Oh, shut up already' Sesshoumaru was beginning to grow tired of his inner demon.. if it wasn't bad enough that it had the idea that he, The Sesshoumaru was not able to woo a girl to his bed, it was even thinking that Sesshoumaru would lower himself to be a paedophile and mate his daughter.. For Rin had become an important child to him, and he had been thinking about adopting her for a some time.

'.. or you hate kids and thus do not want a heir..'

'Well, in that one, you certainly have a point.' Sesshoumaru said. Actually Sesshoumaru didn't hate kids but he just liked them as small amounts and in a short period of time at once and as an obedient and silent version. Maybe mute children were not so bad idea after all.

'..And you hate humans, so that is out of question and you have not met a girl beautiful enough to catch your eye..'

'Actually against popular belief I don't hate humans, only despise them.' Sesshoumaru answered.. He was really to start getting pissed right now.

'.. And – '

'Silence!'

'...'

'Are you really sure that you don't want me to continue?' His inner demon asked its hopes up.

Sesshoumaru didn't bother to answer.

"Why Sesshoumaru-sama is so silent all the time?" Rin asked. She had been silent for a while, and now wanted nothing more than to speak with someone, and thus, Jaken was bothered by her innocent question.

"Be silent! Don't bother Sesshoumaru-sama with your needless blabbering!" Jaken answered rudely.

"But Sesshoumaru-sama can't even hear us from the front.. the distance is a way too long.."

"Sesshoumaru-sama's hearing is excellent!"

"Surely it is! After all, He is Sesshoumaru-sama!"

"Yes, he is the great Sesshoumaru-sama."

"... but why is he so silent right now?

"You fool! Sesshoumaru-sama must be thinking something of great importance, for instance a way to kill that annoying hanyou!"

"Oh.. You mean Lord Sesshoumaru's brother? Inuyasha?"

"No, you idiot! Naraku! The one with the baboon skin!"

"Oh.. that one. Sesshoumaru-sama has so many annoying hanyous to kill.."

So their journey back home continued. Not long after the nightfall Rin had fallen asleep on Ah Uhn's back and even Jaken was reaching his limits. Sesshoumaru had noticed his group's condition, and was beginning to look for a place to spend a night. Soon they came to a nice little field where Forget-me-not's were blooming. The forest was near and Sesshoumaru was able to sense some hot springs nearby.

'An ideal temporal nest to us' His inner demon said.

'Yes, it is.' Sesshoumaru answered.

"Jaken."

"Yes, my lord?"

"We will rest here."

"Yes, my lord."

After this, Sesshoumaru made his way to the hot springs, leaving Jaken to tend Rin's needs. The imp was perfectly able to do that task and after putting Rin to sleep next to Ah Uhn, Jaken too fell asleep. The day had been long after all.

While his group rested, Sesshoumaru relaxed in the hot springs. His missing left arm had again phantom pains, or so they were called. Sesshoumaru himself could have sworn that he still had his arm, so real that pain felt. His healers had said that those pains were just normal to those who had lost some limbs, but still it didn't change the fact that it hurt like a bitch.

'Maybe if you hadn't been so careless and arrogant to underestimate your half-brother, you wouldn't have to suffer the pain.' His inner demon muttered.

'Don't you think that I have suffered enough for that one mistake?' Sesshoumaru asked from his second persona. His missing arm was a clear evidence of his mistake and as such it also was a clean hit to his pride.

'Why wouldn't it just grow back already?' Sesshoumaru growled.

'You impatient pup! Your mistake, your suffering. And besides, you have grown over your injury.' The inner youkai reminded.

Of course it was right. Sesshoumaru had trained hard to overcome his loss, and had learned to do everything without help. True, he had his difficulties for instance washing his long hair had proved to be a true dilemma with only one arm, but he had thought a wonderful way to do it. Actually, it was so simple that it hurt.

'Yeah, and if someone would see you, he would laugh his ass of' The inner youkai commented.

'Shut up already, or do you have any better ideas?' Sesshoumaru shot back.

'Yeah. Get a M-A-T-E! She would do it for you..'

'.. not this again.' Sesshoumaru muttered silently as he got up from the spring. He stretched his muscles and rolled his stiff shoulders. After losing his limb, he had become a bit right sided, and thus his back was aching almost all the time. He dressed, and after this he began to gather his youki to transform himself to his true form. His youki began to glow and suddenly a bright, a bit red tinted light surrounded him. And then there was no ethereal looking demon but a huge white dog. Its white fur was very fluffy and he had big red eyes. The dog began to clean it's fur, and after the task was complete, Sesshoumaru returned to his humanoid form. He made his way back to his group silently. While staying outside, he never slept. Demons had no need to sleep as often as humans and thus Sesshoumaru stayed awake night after night to guard his group.

'Thought it's a beautiful idea to guard ones pack, you need to sleep sometimes too.'

'I'm aware of that fact. It's one of the reasons why we are heading back to the keep.'

'You still refuse to sleep anywhere except your own nest?'

'...'

'And you are still afraid of dark?'

'This Sesshoumaru has never been afraid of dark.'

'Yeah right. Then why you never sleep while being outside of home?'

'Sometimes I wonder if you really are my second persona.'

'Why? Whose else inner demon would I be?'

'That was not the point. I'm just wondering why you never guess right when it's of me'

'...You are beating around the bush' The inner youkai noted.

'I'm not'

'Then why don't you answer a simple question?'

'I don't trust myself enough to sleep outside of the castle', Sesshoumaru finally told.

'Well, you certainly sleep like a dead. No one has been able to wake you up unless you wake up yourself.'

'Well, understand my point? Besides, if I slept here, who would protect Rin and Jaken?' Sesshoumaru asked and rubbed his brow. He was starting to get a migraine and he was really tired.

'How long has it been since you last slept?' The inner youkai asked.

'About two moon cycles.'

'Two? Are you nuts? Even one is a way too much!'

'I haven't got any time to return the keep'

His inner youkai didn't say anything after that.

Sesshoumaru didn't ponder over it too much because his inner youkai could be silent for months straight. Now, being left alone with his growing migraine and sleepiness, he yawned and started his war against sleep. He spent the rest of his night watching stars, but his senses still alert for possible danger. He wouldn't sleep until he had the chance.

The next day came and went and Sesshoumaru's growing need to sleep became obvious. He even yawned once while travelling, an act completely unheard of him. Jaken didn't notice this, he was too busy to tell something not so important to Rin, but the little human girl's young hawk eyes caught it. She didn't mention it, because even she was young, she understood that her Sesshoumaru-sama couldn't afford to rest while travelling, for he was the one who protected them.

"Sesshoumaru-sama, how long it is before we are back home?" Rin asked.

"Not long anymore, we should be back before the night fall."

"Jay!" Rin squealed from Ah Uhn's back. She was happy to hear the news for she was beginning to grow tired of sitting on the great dragon steed's wide back. That and the growing worry of her Sesshoumaru-sama.

Finally, after a few days of vicious travelling they were at Sesshoumaru's keep. They had arrived before the sunset as their lord had predicted. Every time Rin gazed the Western lord's castle it made a huge impression to her. The castle was located near the human city called Kyoto and it was hidden deep in the mountains, making it almost impossible to conquer. The castle was built to look like a typical Japanese castle, but its elegance melted the hearts of everyone who had the privilege to see it. The castle of snow, as it was called, was a beautiful building, and its huge gates told everybody of its power and prosperity. It was also known as a home to whole inu youkai clan, and as an heir of deceased Inu no Taisho, Sesshoumaru had inherited it all. The castle was also known of its many gardens and many beautiful paintings. It was rumoured that the lord himself had painted a few of them himself.

When Rin had for the first time come to the keep many youkais working in there had been very upset and some of them had thought that the current lord had fallen for humans as his father. Inu no Taisho's mate had been a top topic for rumours an year after an year, and now some of the servants thought that Rin was Sesshoumaru-sama's mate to be. What made the fuss even grow was that no one in the castle knew Rin's exact position in the castle's hierarchy, well, anyone but Sesshoumaru of course.

"I'm home", Rin shouted happily when they passed the castle gates to the front yard.

"Welcome home my Lord", The head servant said as she bowed. Sesshoumaru didn't bother to answer, but he said his commands.

"Take care of my steed, and prepare a bath to Rin. I'm not to be disturbed."

"Yes, my lord", The Head servant, otherwise known as Kazuki, answered, still deep in the bow.

When he had left the front yard, Sesshoumaru headed straight back to his quarters in the west wing. The West wing had the best view, and therefore it was known as royal quarters. He had inherited his father's rooms, as well as everything besides Soun'ga and Tessaiga. He climbed all the way to the third floor, where his rooms were located. He pushed carefully the shoji screen, which led to his chamber, open. His room was a huge open space, and there was white and very elegant furniture in his room. He had never liked too striking colours so he had taken a liking to white. It was the colour of death after all. He let his stoic façade to drop, because he was finally alone. He changed his kimono to a very comfortable yukata and made his way to his study. As expected, he wasn't able to see his desk as it was surrounded by mountains of paper work. He stared coldly at those papers, hoping them to disappear, but after a while he noticed that it wasn't much of a help.

'Sometimes I hope that I wouldn't be a lord. Then I wouldn't have to deal with land treaties and such' Sesshoumaru thought to himself.

'But then you wouldn't even live in this comfortable nest' His inner demon reminded him.

'Oh, you came back.'

'Where would I go? You and I can't be separated'

Sesshoumaru didn't bother to answer that.

'Are you going to work now, or are going to sleep? You really need some, you know?' Sesshoumaru's inner youkai said.

'Actually sleep sounds very good when I'm looking to that mountain of papers'

'I bet. Good night'

After this, Sesshoumaru turned his back to his study and left to his bedroom leaving the monster also known as paperwork alone in there.

(A/N: It will be a bit difficult for a while, but be aware that what will happen next is Sesshoumaru's DREAM! Parts written in bold are Sesshoumaru's inner demons sarcastic side comments...)

He was travelling with his group near Inuyasha's forest, looking for Naraku. Rin was happily bouncing around and chatting with Jaken. The old imp was silently pleading help from his lord. Sesshoumaru ignored his retainers pleas, his ears fixed in the noises of the forest, his sensitive nose following his prey's track. Suddenly Sesshoumaru noticed his annoying half-brothers scent close by.

'So the whelp just sits there, wanting to die. Fine.' He thought.

'Let's kill it' His inner demon agreed.

"Like I would do that!" The inner demon shouted outside of Sesshoumaru's dream.

'Yes, the whelp will surely lose his life today' Sesshoumaru answered as his eyes begun to bleed red. He took out Toukijin leaving his followers to tend themselves, knowing that no one would dare to approach them wile he was gone.

"Yeah.. Remember the last time you idiot? Naraku? Does the name ring some bells?" The inner demon commented

Sesshoumaru ran as fast as the lightning, Toukijin ready in his hand.

"Ready for what?"

And then, in no time, he was facing his hated half-brother. Inuyasha seemed to be surprised as well as his group. Sesshoumaru glared at his brother's followers, the look in his eyes telling them not to interfere. Then he said his favourite quote: Shine Inuyasha! What made them shiver a fear in their eyes

"like that ever worked with the human miko"

Inuyasha tried to answer something stupid and arrogant, but he was never given enough time for it as Sesshoumaru already had attacked him. The fight didn't last long, because the half-breed was so weak and unskilled that Inuyasha's defeat was sure.

"Last time I checked, the hanyou has won half of your matches.. So are you as weak and unskilled as he?" Muahahahaa..

One time during that short fight hanyou's companions had tried to save the hanyou's miserable life, causing them to die quickly by Sesshoumaru's Toukijin. Somehow Sesshoumaru had enjoyed killing them, especially his hanyou brother's wench who had opposed Sesshoumaru so many times. Inuyasha fell to his knees, begging for his life but unfortunately for him Sesshoumaru was not in his merciful mood.

"Yeah right.. Like that bastard of a hanyou would never do such a thing. Hehehee.. but Sesshoumaru surely is an amusing person" His inner youkai said while laughing his ass of.

Finally, after waiting so long, Sesshoumaru had managed to kill his hated half-brother and the disgrace to the entire Inu youkai clan. After cleaning his own weapon from the impure blood, he bent down and picked up Tessaiga with his left hand, still holding his Toukijin in his right hand.

"Huh?! How the heck he got that arm? It surely wasn't there before.. and Tessaiga? Shouldn't the barrier be protecting it from demons touch?" The inner demon wondered.

Now the two powerful swords in his hands he was invincible. It wouldn't be too long before the entire Japan would bow down before him.

"Is it just me, or does this guy have a HUGE imagination?" Sesshoumaru's inner demon asked from itself, with a denying voice.

At the same time in somewhere else. There was a conversation held between three persons. A man with a long white hair, held up with a ponytail and two women, one with raven black hair, other with a hair pure white as snow. In everything, these women seemed to be exact opposites, like ying and yang. Thought they were both beautiful, the white haired one held such an elegance that was only seen amongst a royal youkai blood, and even there it was rare. Raven haired woman held no such a grace and elegance but you could feel her strong and kind presence. A warrior princess, and a princess who could heal everything from the old stories. That was what the looked like. They were deep in the conversation, and it was obvious, that though their voices were loud while they disagreed in something, they knew each other very well. They never crossed the unspoken line between the respectful and disrespectful talk.

"Now your selfish good for nothing son killed my beloved puppy-chan! It told you, he has not a bit of kindness in him." The raven haired woman said angrily.

"Huh? He only defended his clan's honour." The snow haired lady countered.

"Honour? What honour you have in killing your own flesh and blood?!" the raven haired woman nearly shouted.

"Silence! My son never killed his brother. He only dreamt of it." The man said with a frown.

"But the fact that he even dreamt about it proves that he longs to do it!"

"So what? If your good for nothing son is so weak that can't defend himself then he deserves to die." the white lady said arrogantly, clearly happy of her wonderful counter attack.

"Yes, Sesshoumaru has long longed to kill his brother. He had that urge even in his childhood" The man said sadly. It was clear that he was disappointed.

"Why? What has my poor Inuyasha-chan ever done to him?"

"Cut of his arm, always dirtied his fluffy, and hided his hairbrush in the gardens..." The white lady started to list.

"Oh, come on.. None of those are enough good reasons to kill somebody! And you know it!" The black haired lady shot back.

"Even cutting of my son's beautiful arm?"

"Well.. maybe that, but my Inuyasha-chan did that only for self-defence!"

"..."

"Your son is a cold blooded killer!"

"Oh, don't start that again Izayoi! And, Sayuri, don't you even think about grimacing to her behind my back" The man, also known as Sesshoumaru's and Inuyasha's honoured father Inu no Taisho, said quietly.

Suddenly both women stopped their quarrel and shut their open mouths. Then they nodded their heads to show respect for him. Inu no Taisho rarely intervened in his wives quarrels, but this time he had too much to ponder over. He had to know for sure what kind of a man his first born had grown to be. As a young youkai Sesshoumaru had been cruel and would have done anything to get more power, but he had hoped that time and responsibility would have got his son out of it. Now it seemed that his son needed some help to grow into a man what he was meant to be.

"Hmm.. maybe we should bring Sesshoumaru here, and question him over his deeds." Inu no Taisho said a little bit later.

"Oh, it would be wonderful! I could talk to him again after such a long time!" Sayuri said happily and started to bounce around.

"Yes, it's a good idea." Izayoi said.

"Then that we will do, my darlings." Inu no Taisho said and started to cast a spell over his first born.

Sesshoumaru's dream had continued the way it had been. Currently the whole Japan was bowing before him.

"How that is even possible? Well, everything is possible in dreams but this.. "

Suddenly that pleasant dream changed drastically. Where were before huge masses of youkai and humans bowing, was now only white fog. The details had disappeared from everywhere. Sesshoumaru could see three figures not so far away from him.

"Who are you?" Sesshoumaru asked rudely, his eyes locked into those figures.

"I wasn't aware that I raised my son to be this disrespectful to his elders" Inu no Taisho said as he walked to his son, his wives right by his sides.

Sesshoumaru's eyes went wide and his jaw dropped. He knew these persons, but it couldn't be.. It simply wasn't possible. Then the fog cleared and he could see clearly. It was his parents and that whore Izayoi! How could they be alive? How was this possible? He asked from himself, but now there was no sarcastic and annoying inner demon to answer his questions. He dropped onto his knees and bowed deeply, his voice saying:

"Chichiue-sama, Hahaue-sama"

"Raise yourself from the ground my son. You don't need anymore to crawl in the ground, you know?" Inu no Taisho said a smile sparkling in his eyes.

Sesshoumaru did as he was told, his mind still numb from the shock.

"My darling! How have you been?" Sayuri asked as she hugged her son.

"I have been fine.." Sesshoumaru said in a low voice, suddenly feeling nostalgic.

"Oh, that's great you know that I have had this.. and that..." His mother said as she started to chatter some utter nonsense. '

Sayuri had always been the passionate one, and she had loved to talk. Sesshoumaru had grown to be silent pup, because there simply wasn't enough room for him to say anything as his mother had talked all the time. Izayoi on the other hand had been a very silent and thoughtful woman who had loved reading. Of course Sesshoumaru didn't see her like that. To Sesshoumaru, Izayoi had been a human wench who had seduced his father and stolen his mother's memory.

".. anyhow my Sess-chan-darling, do you have any idea why we invited you here?" Sayuri asked as her smile faded from her face and she became serious.

"No" Sesshoumaru answered simply, hating already his newest nickname.

"We wanted to know about your plans for future.. you know, I really would love to see my grandchildren already." Sayuri said.

"Unfortunately I have no plans taking a mate." Sesshoumaru said, but in his mind he shouted: Not they too! Why everybody would want me to take a mate? Why?

"You can no longer avoid it. You need an heir. It's one of your responsibilities as a lord of the western lands." His father said in his deep voice.

"I will not take a mate."

"But you must, my Sesshie-chan" His mother scolded him.

"This Sesshoumaru has to do nothing!" Sesshoumaru said, his patience wearing thin.

"You insolent pup! You will get yourself a mate, or bare the consequences." Now angered Inu no Taisho said.

"Do what you want, but I do not do anything that doesn't please me." Sesshoumaru countered arrogantly, holding his head high and glaring his honoured father.

"Then I will teach you to do what I say! To do what any other respectful son would do!" The dog leader roared.

"This Sesshoumaru doesn't fear you, the old lord of the West!" Sesshoumaru said now in full anger. Even his usually calm voice had risen.

"Then I must do this. I had hoped that this wouldn't be necessary." Inu no Taisho said now in a very quiet voice.

He was that kind of a person who spoke in a very low tune when he was angry. If Sesshoumaru would have remembered this, then he maybe would have been able to avoid what was soon about to happen to him. His father attacked him and with an easiness that should not have been possible, defeated the new Western lord and locked his first born son to the ground.

"Now Sayuri. Place the curse!" Inu no Taisho commanded his first wife.

Sayuri did as she was commanded tears in her eyes. Never had she liked to punish his son, and teaching him like this felt too cruel. But at the same time Sayuri knew that this had to be done. They had before esshoumaru's arrival agreed to place a curse upon him that would make Sesshoumaru learn to love and learn to care, if he wouldn't hear a reason.

Sesshoumaru struggled in the ground, trying to throw his father off, when he heard his mother's voice to start casting an ancient curse. As he had never had any interest in the subject he had no idea what kind of curse it was. Then he felt some dark light to surround him, and felt his youki to be sealed away. 'Noooo!' He screamed in his mind, anything else he could have endured but to seal his youki away. It was the most horrible thing to do to a youkai, and the most difficult thing too. The seal was impossible to break without carrying out the conditions of the curse. He felt his power to fade away and then there was only darkness.

Inu to Taisho felt his son's youki disappear when the curse was almost ready. He eased the pressure he had been causing to his first born's body, knowing that he was not anymore in the condition to fight. And then Sesshoumaru became slack, and his father knew that the curse was complete.

"Good job, my dear" He praised his wife.

"I truly hope that this works." Sayuri answered to her husband.

"If it doesn't, I truly have no idea what will work" Izayoi, the one who had suggested this plan of action, said meekly.

"What you made to be the conditions?" Inu no Taisho asked from Sayuri as his curiosity peeked.

"He must learn to care and love his own family and his mate." Sayuri answered

"I wonder if he will never able to fulfil those conditions." Izayoi said a bit sadly. True, she and Sesshoumaru had never gotten along, but she still cared of him in her own way.

"If he doesn't, then he isn't my son." Inu no Taisho said in a determined voice.

A tiny dictionary to The Dah's language (as in fangirl Japanese.. I try to keep it at minimum):

Youkai= Demon

Hanyou= half demon

Inu no Taisho= Dog general, leader of the dog's, but also used of Sesshoumaru's and Inuyasha's father, because we DO NOT know his real name.

-sama= ending suffix, means Lord

-chan= ending suffix, means little, cute, young

Chichiue= very very polite way to say father.

Hahaue= very very polite way to say mother

Toukijin= Sesshoumaru's evil sword, forged from Gosihinki's fang by Gaijinbou

Tessaiga= Inuyasha's sword, forged from Inu no Taisho's fang by Toutousai

Youki= a term which has many meanings, I personally use it of demon aura/power. The bigger youki, the stronger demon

Taiyoukai= great demon, big demon. Used of the stronger demons.

If I forgot some, feel free to mail me and ask. :D

A/N: Did you like it? I would really love to hear your opinion. :P So, please, review. It takes about 1 minute from your life, and it will make my day a lot better. One review is a way better than a chocolate bar. And it won't add too many kilos to my waist. :D

Chie: True, so true.... :P And prepare mentally dearies, next chapter will be written by MY hand... xD

Oh.. And I have to say, that I love Sayuri! –glomps Sayuri and bounces around- She's just like me.. Save that she talks much. XD
