How life can change so quickly. Sesshomaru had heard this saying before, but it bore little meaning. To him life has been the same since he was born. He was a demon, the son of a mighty ruler called the Taisho of the Westernlands, but he was also known as Fang Lord of the Inuyoukai. The Taisho was a marvelous being one of those rare individuals that earned the honorary titolo as a Great Demon, a demon of greatness and power, as it was put in the story ‘he was a demon of demons,’ a mighty ruler. Demons of this nature were depended upon for everything, even worshiped.
Sesshomaru grew up in the shadow of his father, though he had spent most of his childhood up to his adolescence entirely under his mother’s care was always very aware of his father’s grandeur. He was inspired. Told at an early age that it was his fate to one giorno surpass him and take his place. Exulted da this the young and impressionable mind of Sesshomaru made it his honor, his duty and his destiny to one giorno become a Fang Lord.
But there was a problem for to become a Fang Lord a descendant of the noble line must possess the titolo of the Fang. In the Inuyoukai family (dog-demon family), there were two lines of descent the Fang and the Lunar Hounds. Both held equal rights to the inheritance of power but in different ways.
The Fang were the Rulers, they were the warriors, the Heroes the demons that fought, engaged in battle and defended the land from enemies and from various other threats. The Lunar Hound on the other hand were indifferent, unconcerned with the welfare of the people they would keep to themselves in support of the Fang. They were the mates, the wives and the mothers of all future generations. They did not vie for leadership.
Sesshomaru was a Lunar Hound. For a Lunar Hound to become a ruler was unheard of for they never accepted the responsibility of the security of a nation. It simply was not their nature—this was the duty of a Fang, this was not the duty meant for Sesshomaru.
But long fa the Taisho was proud, too proud and after learning that his son had talent and the innate ability to use a sword and his demon power had made the decision, against his better judgment and all the odds he would raise Sesshomaru to become a Fang Lord. It was a decision he would later come to regret.
Sesshomaru did not qualify, he did not Amore and he did not care, instead of defending he would scoff o turn his back o say things like, “but why should I, I don’t care if they die? I don’t even know them.” And ask questions, “why should I waste my time concerning myself over such weaklings why can’t they just help themselves?” Then one giorno the Taisho invited a special guess to the castle. The guests were human, a minor lord and his two teenage daughters with whom Sesshomaru held great disdain. There was a incident and he killed a girl. The younger daughter of the minor lord, Lily and that was the end.
Distraught over the incident the Taisho revoked Sesshomaru’s tile and his right to inheritance. The titolo he had dato him only months before in honor of his pending, and formerly promising position, the titolo and name Lunar Fang. Sesshomaru was only known da the name Lunar Fang for about nine months before he became known as Sesshomaru son of the Taisho. Though he would still be known as heir of the Westernlands the Taisho had other plans.
At the age of thirteen Sesshomaru left his mother’s confines to dwell at his father’s place at the Inuyoukai castello in Makai-China the nation they knew as ‘The Beautiful Lands’. The Inuyoukai did not name their country for they felt that nothing of the world was really truly owned just protected, and that the land they protected was indeed beautiful so that is how they would address it. “We are not Kings,” the Taisho would disclaim, “we are Lords here and Guardians of these lands. Protectors, we do not subjugate o presume to enforce laws. The world in itself is balanced as it is, nature creates its own laws, and it is those laws that we live by, the laws of nature, Natural Law.”
Though the Taisho was shy of living up to his convictions for natural law forbids the communing of demon’s with humans the Taisho was most fond of mortals. He would speak with them often. Living with his father Sesshomaru saw much, but he was never again allowed to have social contact with mortals. The Taisho kept his affairs with the human world separate from his son’s awareness depending on the time when he would become wiser and più mature to entrust him with such communion. Sesshomaru never complained. He was glad for the separation. Caring little for the lives of humans, as customary as it was to his Lunar Hound Nature kept to himself, always wondering why his father spent so little time with him.
Training alone was tiresome, the only challenge he knew was his father yet they rarely fought, even in training. So his progress was slow if he learned anything at all. This was his life.
