[Inuyasha－Shawei]Love from the West

"Evil view, where did your master go?" A Li asked the evil view who was sitting on the sidelines yawning and looking bored while drinking the medicinal soup prepared for her by the maids.Her mouth and nose were filled with the smell of herbs, which wrinkled A Li's nose, who didn't like the smell of medicine.

"You didn't get up until the sun was shining on your buttocks. Of course, His Royal Highness Sesshomaru has already gone to work! Also, that is the precious medicinal soup that His Highness Sesshomaru specially asked the maid to prepare. If you don't finish it, I will die." Beheaded!"

"Aren't I drinking?" Ali replied impatiently.

On the day she bid farewell to Inuyasha, she cried like a child in front of Sesshomaru, her nose was red from crying.She kept weeping, and cold air entered her mouth and nose in large quantities, so she caught a bad cold as no surprise, and she had a high fever a few days ago.Want to feel ashamed, let Sesshomaru see the ugly crying again, and cry until he catches a cold, and his nose is dangling for the past few days, what kind of vision is Sesshoumaru looking at his favorite woman? ?

Her eyes drifted to the bed beside her. In order not to infect Xiaoling with a bad cold, she chose to live in Sesshomaru's bedroom. She couldn't help but blush when she remembered that day she had shared the bed with Sesshomaru so naturally.That day was just like the time Sesshomaru brought her back to Xiguo forcibly, she fell asleep crying in his arms, woke up in his bed, and had fluffy and soft fur leaning on her back, the difference was this time After opening her eyes and waking up, she no longer screamed in terror, but quietly closed her eyes again, nestled in a piece of silver.

Sesshomaru has always come back late to deal with state affairs recently, monsters don’t need to sleep every day like humans, even if they come back, they still stay in the study room of the bedroom and continue to light up the lights at night to fight official documents, Ah Li just looks at his back in a daze go to sleep.Half-dream and half-awake, I could feel him coming to the bed and sitting down, stroking her forehead with his hand to see if her fever had subsided, and then wrapped the fur around her thin body to give her warmth, and he left quietly until dawn.

Ah Li took another sip of the medicinal soup, and looked at the beautiful cherry blossoms in the imperial garden outside the window. The cherry blossoms in this imperial garden are in full bloom all seasons and never wither. The white snow falling on the pink looks ethereal.Thinking about a few days ago, I was still like a lifeless doll, I would just stay in the room and cry all day, but this heartache healed quickly, maybe it was already done since I realized that Inuyasha had Kikyo in his heart The psychological preparation for falling out of love, or maybe the concern for Inuyasha has quietly transferred to another person.

The door knocked twice, A Li and Xie Jian looked in the direction of the sound, a maid stood at the door and saluted A Li respectfully, saying: "Miss Rimu, Princess Gongqin wants to see you, please move over .”

"Princess Gongqin... Menger?" Ah Li still didn't know how to face her. After all, the quarrel between her and Sesshomaru started because of Menger.I heard that Sesshomaru still refuses to meet her, and every time she returns angrily, everyone in the palace discusses this matter as gossip.

"You don't have to go." Evil View said, "You are the person next to His Highness Sesshomaru."

Is it okay to meet Menger?What's more, Meng'er is a princess after all, it seems a bit rude not to go.A Li drank the last sip of the medicinal soup in the bowl, stuck out her tongue, but she still couldn't accept the bitter taste.

×××

Meng'er was wearing a gorgeous fox fur, and the long armor on her fingertips kept tapping the earrings on the demon's ears to make jingling sounds. Feeling the human breath behind her, she stopped, put away her cold and proud expression and put on a smile, and turned her head Looking at the source of the breath, "Are you here? I heard that you have caught cold recently, are you okay?"

"Much better, thank you Menger for your concern!"

"I'm sorry, Ari, I called you out even though I knew you were in poor health."

"It's okay!" A Li smiled and waved her hands. As a princess, Menger cared about her and apologized to her, which made Ali think that Menger is really a gentle and good girl. "You mean, you have something to do with me?"

"I came here today to see you, and talk to you about what happened that day. It's embarrassing to say it, but you saw how intimate you were with His Highness that day."

Ah Li smiled awkwardly, yes, she fell in the rock area as soon as she fell, and she could see it very clearly. "Don't worry! I'll pretend nothing happened! I'm the one who shouldn't be eavesdropping at the door..."

"I made you fall on purpose."

Ah Li's smile froze, unable to react, "What?"

"It was I who deliberately let you see me and His Highness Sesshoumaru being intimate."

Meng'er put away her smile and remained expressionless.Seeing her frosty eyes, Ah Li was a little afraid. In the past, Meng'er always smiled and her eyes were charming and gentle like a flower, but now her appearance made Ah Li feel strange.

"Why……?"

"Why?" Menger squinted her eyes, approached Ari and raised her chin vigorously, and carefully examined the appearance of the girl in front of her. What kind of beauty does this human have? Sesshomaru doesn't even look at her, the most beautiful woman in the Western Realm One glance! "I just wanted to ask you why you stayed in the West Country this time? What kind of status did you stay in His Highness's bedroom?"

The hand holding Ah Li's chin became stronger again, "To make His Highness like you, what exactly do you want? Back position?"

"Enough!" Ah Li, whose jaw was hurting, patted Meng'er's hand away, with a displeased tone, "I don't even want to get any back position! I don't want to decide who Sesshomaru wants to fall in love with! ... You say you You deliberately let me see you two intimately, to make me misunderstand Sesshomaru? Why did you do that!"

"Because of jealousy!" Meng'er clenched her fists, her proud eyes stained with sadness, "I'm jealous that you are so close to the man I like! Can you... understand this feeling? I have looked up to him for so long, Can you understand the pain of walking towards others in front of my eyes?"

"Jealous...?" Of course Ah Li understood, how could she not understand.She can understand Menger's feelings, but no one can control feelings. She can't control Sesshomaru's liking for her, and she can't control the feeling that she wants to stay by Sesshomaru's side. Sesshomaru is the fiance of the girl in front of her.Is this her a third party?

"Do you like him? Ari."

Ah Li clenched her lips, she couldn't answer her, and she couldn't answer herself either.The last time Menger asked her if she had someone she liked, she could answer no.But this time she couldn't answer, she was afraid to face it.

Seeing that A Li didn't answer, Meng'er understood, "Forget it, it's useless to ask. Let me tell you one more thing. Empress Xue Ji has already started to arrange the wedding date. I hope you can bless us."

"..." Heart, very bored.

"May you recover soon, Li." Meng'er turned to leave, but suddenly remembered the conversation just now, she stopped and did not look back at Li. "I did intend to create a rift between you guys on purpose, but if you don't care about him, where's the misunderstanding?"

×××

"I said, if you don't marry, you don't marry."

Sesshomaru looked at Xue Ji who was sitting elegantly on the empress dowager's seat and didn't seem to care about everything, but asked him to marry Meng'er with a very strong attitude. If he really went back to the Western Kingdom, there would be a lot of trouble, so he could just let go and continue. Going outside for a leisurely trip, but he has already started to get in touch with state affairs, and he simply can't let go of the country he and his father built.

"Meng'er is the most beautiful woman in the Western Realm, and she is also the princess of the Northern Kingdom. Mother, I helped you choose a lady from a famous family that everyone is rushing to want. How can you not marry?"

"Hmph, boring." Sesshomaru snorted.

"The Western Realm has been quiet for too long, and there are always some people who can't sit still and want to rebel. In recent years, the Eastern Kingdom and the Southern Kingdom have tried to unite against our Western Kingdom. If we marry the Northern Kingdom, the second largest country in the Western Territory, we can directly eliminate those two countries. The idea of ​​union, I just spread the news that you two are going to get married a while ago, and they are much more peaceful. Getting married can prevent a war, so save effort! Isn’t this the benefit of political marriage?”

"So you use your son's marriage as a political tool?"

"Anyway, you never cared about it, did you? Why do you suddenly care about marriage?" Xue Ji thought of Ari who had been close to Sesshomaru recently, and smiled knowingly, "Ah...is it because of that human girl?"

"Don't do her business." Sesshomaru shook his sleeves and turned to leave the apse.

Xue Ji smiled and picked up the Hades stone hanging around her neck, rolled it in her hands and played with it, "The Hades stone is in my hand, no matter who's soul I want to enter the Hades is easy, even if you have natural teeth It also cannot revive the human beings who have entered the underworld, at most it can only purify the souls of the dead.”

"Hmph, just speak up if you have something to say, don't beat around the bush." ​​Sesshomaru turned sideways and frowned, and said to Xue Ji in an unhappy tone.

"If you don't marry Menger, then that girl named Ali may die."

"...Are you threatening me?" Sesshomaru furrowed his brows deeper, he didn't understand why his mother insisted on forcing him to this point.

"This is not a threat! This is another way of discipline." Xue Ji closed her eyes and sighed, "Who told your son to be so rebellious and stubborn not to listen to his mother? It's not cute at all, bad boy. "

Sesshomaru threw a whip towards the rear, almost hitting the defenseless Xue Ji, but fortunately she escaped without any danger.The other hairpins on her bun also broke into two pieces in an instant, and seeing her beloved hair accessories break made her feel a little distressed, "Oh, mother, I like this hairpin very much. You are too much, and you won't fight Tell me, do you want to murder your own mother?"

Sesshomaru turned around and looked at Xue Ji, "This is not murder, this is another way of playing."

Xue Ji was suffocating in her heart, but she still acted calmly. She really didn't understand how a submissive child in the past would suddenly resist everything like this. "Tsk tsk tsk, when will my son mock his mother? Although he looks so handsome now, he has become so cruel! Sigh! I really miss the good baby I took care of before."

"..." Why doesn't he remember that Xue Ji took good care of him before?Since he was sensible, Sesshomaru has been constantly receiving combat training and learning knowledge. He has never felt the care of his parents at all. It has always been like this, walking alone.

"Are you really in love with that human girl, right? A word of advice, monsters and humans will never end up together, and the end will be sad. Let's look at your father's example!" Xue Ji sighed softly, Continued: "I see you, it's just a temporary fascination, now you can play with humans if you want to, anyway, we monsters don't have any feelings at all, if you want to use that human as a concubine, I won't stop it, but── "

Before he could finish speaking, another whip came over. Xue Ji didn't dodge well this time, and suffered a small injury on her left cheek. "you!"

"Don't take me, Sesshomaru, so superficially."

"Heh!" Xue Ji hadn't felt such an emotional Sesshomaru for a long time, but she felt a little funny in her heart, "Anyway, don't forget, the Hades Stone is here with me!"

Sesshomaru looked at the Mingdao Stone hanging on Xue Ji's neck, and recalled the memory when Xiaoling almost left him forever, his clear golden eyes were stained with imperceptible depression.It was he who put the life of the person he cherished in danger. If he hadn't brought Xiaoling by his side and left her in a human village, she wouldn't have almost died in Mingdao; Ah Li's life will not be used as a tool to threaten him.

He clenched his fists tightly, staring at Xue Ji like an eagle's eyes, he was not afraid that he would not be able to protect A Li, but he was so afraid that A Li would encounter danger in a place he could not see, but he was powerless.

"...In exchange, I promise you to marry Gongqinmeng, but the condition is that you will never hurt Ah Li. If you dare to touch her, I will immediately tear Gongqinmeng to pieces. If it is because of this, I will also fight Beiguo Very happy!"

"It's easy, I promise you." Xue Ji sat back on the back seat, picked up the cypress comb in her sleeve, and combed her hair. "Ah, I forgot one more thing, Menger will move into your bedroom tonight, remember to ask that little monster to prepare, of course, the human girl has to move out."

Sesshomaru didn't respond and left the apse directly.

Xue Ji rubbed the Ming Dao Stone, looked at Sesshomaru's leaving back, closed her eyes, as if recalling the past, her expression was happy but also a little helpless, she slightly curled her lips and said softly: "The child's father Hey, why do you like making me play bad face so much?"

×××

Walking on the garden-style corridor leading to the bedroom, Sesshomaru had no intention of admiring the flowers and trees beside him, his heart was full of confusion and boredom.He knew that it was wrong for a human being, A Li, to appear in this big demon country. There were many monsters who were eyeing her spiritual power. Now that Xue Ji threatened him with A Li's life, it meant that A Li was exposed to danger at any time.

The way to save A Li's life, besides guarding her side, is to ask Xue Ji to temporarily withdraw the threat of harming A Li. Xue Ji holds the Hades Stone in her hand, and if she really sends A Li into the Hades, she will be killed. Even his natural teeth couldn't save her.In the past, he really didn't think too much about marriage. If Xue Ji wanted to arrange it, she would arrange it, but it was just a formality. A wife was just placed there as a decoration, and he would never ask about it.But now I have a loved one, and the customs of the place where the loved one lives is monogamy. I don't understand if he marries a wife, will the other party still accept her as a concubine?

──It is impossible to even think about it.

No, he didn't even know what Ah Li thought about him, maybe it's too far away to think about it now.Or should he just give up his feelings for Ali?If you let go and send Ali back to Fengzhi Village, maybe Ali will be safer?But how could he be willing to let go of Ah Li?Sesshomaru frowned, and read a sentence in modern times, "People who are immersed in love will become fools." 』Sure enough, it is true, when it comes to love, it is really difficult to get the answers to many questions, and these things never bothered him so much before.

As he walked, he looked forward and saw Ah Li squatting, feeding the carp in the pond outside the corridor with feed.The carp in the palace are plump and huge, colorful and glamorous, and the color is clear and shining.He looked at A Li's petite figure, and thought of Xue Ji's words. In the end, everything about him was still controlled by Xue Ji, and the freedom he pursued seemed to be quite far away from him, but did he indirectly restrain A Li?

He walked quietly to Ah Li, and followed her to watch the carp swimming in the pond.Ah Li saw another tall figure reflected in the water, and quickly raised his head to look up at the man beside him. "Are you coming down?"

"Um."

"It seems that it's rare to meet you when I'm awake recently."

"How's your body?"

"Thanks to your medicinal soup, your body is now as strong as a cow."

"But your complexion is very bad."

"Really?" Ah Li touched his cheek, wondering if the dark circles under his eyes were caused by a cold?The hand that was touching his face paused, the poor complexion may not be due to his body, but the loneliness in his heart after talking with Meng'er just now.

Sesshomaru lowered his eyes slightly, a gust of wind blew past his silver bangs, he looked at the carp in the pond and didn't say much.Ah Li saw the melancholy in his clear eyes, but the brows were deeply wrinkled on that pretty face. She stood up, put the index fingers of both hands on Sesshomaru's eyebrows playfully, and blinked. Blinking, "Wow! My finger is going up the corner, it's so slanted!"

Sesshomaru was a little stunned by Ari's sudden action, "What are you doing?"

"You're the one with the bad face, right? Frowning like this...I'd rather have a blank face than see you bored."

"..." Sesshomaru clasped Ari's wrists with one hand, took the hand that was on his eyebrows, and slowly moved his face closer to Ari, so close that Ari couldn't help but think of him kissing her again , her face turned red, and she quickly bent her waist back. The closer he got, the more she bent her waist.

Seeing Ah Li's extremely funny posture, he couldn't help but feel funny in his heart, and his depressed mood also improved.He raised his eyebrows and looked at her with an expression of not knowing what to say, Ah Li could only smile awkwardly, "Ha, haha, I am exercising my waist strength, yes! That's right! I am exercising my waist strength!"

"..." What's the reason?He had to admire this spooky little girl.He brought Ah Li back to the normal position, and let go of her wrist, "You smell like a kiss."

It turned out that he just wanted to smell her body clearly, not kiss her, A Li felt shy and embarrassed about his overthinking.It seemed that she couldn't hide the fact that she met Menger, so she could only admit, "...I just met Menger."

"What did you say?"

"..." Ali was silent for a while, "I didn't say anything, I just came to care about my body."

"Really?" Sesshomaru thought it was impossible to be so innocent, but Ari didn't want to say, so he didn't ask. "Let's go back."

Sesshomaru raised his foot to leave, and Ah Li followed behind. The road was the route to return to Sesshomaru's palace. She remembered Menger's question, what kind of status did she stay in Sesshomaru's palace?Sesshomaru and Menger are about to get married... She lowered her head, stopped and did not follow.

Sesshomaru heard the footsteps behind him stop and looked back, "What's wrong?"

"I...seem to understand Menger's mood." She clutched the hem of the kimono with both hands, and the skirt was wrinkled ugly. The person she likes is so close to other people, no matter who it is, it will be uncomfortable.

"...Looks like you know all about it."

Ah Li nodded, "I promised you that you won't influence who you like, but you and Menger are getting married... This is a fact that cannot be changed. It is not good for me to stay by your side like this after all, so- ─”

"Do you care?"

"What?" Ari was taken aback, and looked up at him in front of him.

"I ask you, do you care?"

Sesshomaru's voice was still flat and steady, but it contained a domineering aura that the other party could not escape.A Li just stared at him in a daze, her pink lips hesitated to speak, but in the end she was still defeated by her own calmness.

"I'm very concerned." A mist appeared in Ari's brown eyes, "I'm very concerned...Sesshomaru..."

Ah Li was surprised when he saw the man's intoxicating golden eyes. They imprinted each other's appearance deeply in their eyes.Then, I saw Sesshomaru striding towards Ari, holding the back of Ari's head with a big palm, and brought her body towards him──

A domineering kiss was printed on A Li's lips just like that.

Ari's eyes widened, she tried to dodge Sesshomaru's kiss full of strong possessive desires, so Sesshomaru simply held Ari's face with both hands, making her completely restrained and unable to move.

Finally Sesshomaru left Ah Li's lips, her lips were kissed so red that she could bleed, she tried to adjust the disordered breath, but the strong heartbeat couldn't be slowed down.

"Since you care, don't run away from me anymore."

"Sesshomaru..."

After breaking up with Inuyasha, Sesshomaru was still impetuous because of Kagumi's uncertainty, but just now hearing that Kaku cared about him, no matter what kind of emotional care it was based on, made his heart very happy. Let him kiss her uncontrollably again.

As long as Ah Li no longer runs away from him and is willing to walk side by side with him, then no matter how many thorns there are in front of him, he will cut them off for her.

The two were relatively silent, Ari looked at Sesshomaru's deep and firm eyes, as if she could stabilize her disturbed heart if she kept looking like this, and could forget all her sorrows and pains if she kept looking like this.

──What should I do, Ari?what to do?She clearly knew that she should not continue to approach him, she clearly knew that he had a marriage contract, and she clearly knew that he was a big monster that humans should not get closer to, but perhaps from the moment Sesshomaru saved her from Naraku and held her hand tightly, she would I can no longer escape the dominance of Sesshomaru.Can she tell him... I seem to like you?

The author has something to say: flirting with girls is like Sesshomaru, thank Sesshomaru, praise Sesshomaru! (strikethrough)
