A/N: So despite the fact that I wasn't really expecting much of a response, you guys went and surprised me with some really encouraging reviews. So in order to thank you wonderful peoples I'm gonna give you another chapter...lol actually is kinda short so think of this more as a little incentive to keep you guys interested. Next time I update it will definitely be longer. Anyways still UN-Beta so if you see any mistakes they're purely mine.

Disclaimer: Don't own Inuyasha, wish I did though.

Quick Info: There's some swearing in this chapter because I think that Inuyasha has always been more liberal than all the other stuck up demons in the show.

General Pov:

"You are sure he'll be alright?" Takeshi asked the human healer.

This had to have been the fourth time that he had inquired about his charge's health, as he stood by the large king size bed that now held an inactive hanyou Prince. The raven haired man could not help but feel guilty, he did after all promise to protect his charge and still he now could do nothing but watch.

Luckily the healer did not seemed bothered by his ever inquiring presence, instead the young female would just smile and reassure him time and time again of Inuyasha's very stable condition before continuing to apply salve to the rather large, purple and blue bump protruding from the hanyou's forehead.

Suddenly golden orbs were revealed as eyelids fluttered open, accompanied by a pain filled groan. The healer quickly stepped away from the Prince. At the same time, Takeshi felt an instant relief flood his body and joyful tears fill his eyes at seeing the hanyou wake, then just as instantly he caught himself before allowing anyone to see and placed his stoic mask back on.

Inuyasha's Pov:

My head is bursting with a dull pain as I awaken. My eyelids feel heavy but I forced them open, as I groan in slight discomfort. My eyesight is blurry at first but then they focus and the first thing I see is Takeshi standing by my bed and then I notice the girl next to him she looked to be my age though I highly doubted it since she smells like humans (meaning she probably is one) and herbs, marking her as either a healer or miko. I can't help but think that she's pretty for a human. Her long dark hair tied back by a red bow, fell over her shoulder and her beautiful almond shaped eyes were captivating on her slender face. She'd make a beautiful mate if she were Youkai.

All of the sudden the haze in my mind fades and I'm reminded of my aching head and I groan even louder.

"Ugh-what happened?" I asked as placed my right hand on the spot on my head that seems to hurt the most. I feel a large bump on my forehead and wince, most likely that was the cause of my pain but...what caused the bump?

I see Takeshi signal for the girl to leave out of my peripheral vision, his eyes following her as she does exactly as ordered, closing the doors to my bed chambers behind her. Takeshi stared at the door a little longer and once sure that the girl was gone he turned back to me.

"Inuyasha-sama, you attacked me in blind rage. I, in turn, acted on instinct and retaliated. thus rendering you unconscious after assaulting you with the metal water pitcher. Please forgive me Inuyasha-sama."

I stared at him wide eyed, not believing that I would ever attack Takeshi no matter how angry I may be. Then it hit me, and I remembered the bathing room and our conversation... Takeshi had told me that I was engag-...aww fuck! I sat up from my nest of pillows and groaned in despaired burying my face in my hands, hurting my bump in the process.

"I should be apologizing to you for trying to attack you ," I told Takeshi or more like mumble from behind my hands, then I looked up at him almost begging as I continued, " Just please tell me that you were just trying to punish me for ditching tutoring when you told me about my supposed engagement."

"Inuyasha-sama," his tone was soft and filled with pity, "I would never jest about such a topic."

Again I felt my anger rising and my hands curling into fists. All I could I think about was the unfairness of it all and this time I did nothing to restrained my self from saying exactly what I thought.

"This isn't fucking fair! What kind of fucking bullshit is this!? Why the fuck would I ever be engaged to such a prick? What kind of piss sucker decided this? I certainly didn't!"

My voice was steadily rising getting louder and louder along with my fury. Likewise Takeshi's frown of disapproval (most likely because of my use of "crude" language) became more pronounced.

"Was it that bastard cum sucker Sesshoumaru?! Or maybe it was the poor fucking excuse for Youkai ,that the Council is made up of, that think themselves so powerful?! Well guess what Takeshi, you can just stop right now because there is no fucking way that I would ever follow the will of the obviously idiotic shit for brains person who decided this."

Takeshi now wore a hard look on his face before speaking. And with two words everything changed.

"Your father."

I felt my anger instantly dissipating leaving in its place an uncomfortable numbness and a sea filled with confusing words and questions. But one word stood out above the rest...Father. I realized I'm spacing out when Takeshi calls my name in concern.

Trying hard to unify my thoughts into usable words I speak.

"Fa-Father," I choke on the word a little and then continue with more determination, " Father is dead. How could he ever decide on such a thing?"

" Inuyasha-sama your father is the source of the entire arrangement. You of course know of your father's will correct?"

I nodded slowly still in a daze.

"Well you have only ever heard a few parts of the will,specifically the ones entitle to what you would recieve, but never the entire document. This is because, aside from leaving in your hands the Tetsusaiga and his priceless fire rat robes, as well as a few other items, Lord Inu No Taisho also declared that both you and Lord Sesshoumaru be mated as soon as you were old enough. He believed that both you and Lord Sesshoumaru would become an unbeatable pair, declaring that you'll both complement each other greatly. Thus, the power of the Western Lands and Inu Youkai would strengthen."

I felt my resolve slowly slipping as I listened, I just love my father too much to disobey his will, even in death. But I can't just lay with a demon especially the prick Sesshoumaru, even if only just to say that I still fought, I need to try getting out of this.

"How come nobody told me this before?"

"Lord Inu No Taisho had made it specific that you were not to be told until you were close enough to your adult year, he had not wanted to burden you with such a knowledge until it the last minute, so to speak."

Again I try to persuade both Takeshi and now even myself of an alternative route.

"Takeshi you, more than anyone, know how Sesshoumaru feels about my existence. He made that more than clear the last time we met remember? In other words there is absolutely no way on Earth that, that bastard would ever go through with this!"

I almost shout in triumph, thinking my argument irrefutable. Yet Takeshi has a knowing look on his face, and I can't help the dreaded feeling of realizing, that he has noted how hard I'm trying to come up with the perfect excuse to not go through with this.

"I'm sorry to inform you, Inuyasha-sama," he starts out and I get the feeling that he's apologizing for more than just being the bearer of bad news, " But unlike yourself, Lord Sesshoumaru has been aware of this arrangement since the day you took your first breath of air. He had consented to your engagement eons ago and is there for expecting you at the main castle in exactly one week. This is so as to prepare for the formal announcement to the Youkai and Human Society two weeks after your arrival. Please be aware that this is none negotiable and if any way we fail to comply with time set, the Lord Sesshoumaru himself will come and retrieve in a very unpleasant manner. That being said I must ask you leave to make your dinner, you need nourishment in order to heal."

General Pov:

All Inuyasha could do was stare at the opposite wall as everything sunk in.

He could not move a muscle.

The hanyou's mind was in a world of chaos, while his body was in a complete state of paralysis. It stayed that way even as Takeshi rose to fetch his dinner, an obvious excuse used to leave the young Prince alone with his thoughts, so that he may come to terms with them.

In the end, it wasn't till the door closed behind the caretaker, that Inuyasha was finally able to focus enough to at least try figuring out his thoughts.

Maybe there was still a chance at getting out of this predicament with out dishonoring the memory of his father.

After all the it wasn't the end of the world. It was simply that, in three weeks time, he'd be mated to his older brother without any real given choice in the matter. And in that same day, the power and acknowledgment he had worked so hard to earn, and anything that could ever define him as a person, would be stripped from him in favor of being a perfectly submissive Beta to his unwanted Alpha mate. That and all the time that he had put into trying to escape his breeder status would be for nothing because he could not escape the inevitable...

'Yep definitely not the end the of the world' Inuyasha thought with a smirk spreading out on his features as he mentally shook himself from the numbness that enveloped his mind and body. Laying down to sleep, a bit more calmly than he expected. His last thoughts leaving a smile on his face,as he slipped into oblivion, dreaming of burning fires and screaming victims all looking stangely like his big brother.

Yes, his life would be over as he knew it, there was no denying that, but he was gonna make fucking sure that Sesshoumaru's life was about as pleasant as having your testicles repeatedly sliced with small cuts by a thin razor coated with seas salt, while trying not to focus on the chains that are pulling on all of your appendages, slowly ripping you apart piece by piece as you burn in the hottest pits of hell.

N/A: Whoot! Finished! So tell me what you think and I'll go from there. Thanks again for those that bother to R/R you guys should totally get cookies XD
