Lord of the Lands

A/N: After months, I'm back to writing again!

This was originally 100 word drabbles for various prompts, but I discovered Sunset Miko's Once a Week Challenges and that set everything on its ear. The prompts seem to fit well with what I'm rocking here, so I'll have somewhat more recent updates as the muse bites :)

This chapter was written for the prompt Kingdom. Enjoy! Please let me know what you think!

----------

Sesshoumaru ran through the forests of what used to be his lands, his full demon form crying for joy after being locked away for so many years. He was happy to be unleashed, to run wild again like he had in days gone by. 

So why did he do it? Why did he spend his hours away from work immersed in a Feudal Era role play chat room where he had his own underlings that worshipped the ground that his character walked on?  

At first, it was because he missed the Feudal Era, the adventure and the magic. Day after day, being the CEO of a top financial group grew to be boring to him. It was the same thing day in and day out. He craved the freedom, the power, the adventure. One day he decided to search the internet for something that would fill that craving, a game as one of his employees suggested.  

He tried a few PC games, quite a few. He even purchased several game consoles and tried role playing games. None of them seemed to fill the void, though he did find that he could easily lose himself in Dragon Quest for hours on end. 

Finally, when he was at his wits end, he had discovered a chat room, something designed for Feudal Era enthusiasts, and it was love at first sight. He had his kingdom again. He was once again Sesshoumaru, Lord of the Western Lands. He was back in his element. 

Until he met her. 

He couldn’t believe it was really her. How had she managed to survive? The last he knew, she had stayed with Inuyasha after the jewel shards had been finally gathered. There was no possible way she could have survived the five hundred years as he had. She was a mere human, not the majestic creature he was. 

He came to the conclusion that he would just ignore her. There was a block button in the chat room, and he would remove her from his messenger service. He had his kingdom back, and he would not let her destroy his world once again. She would be out of the way and he would be able to rule his kingdom with an iron fist as he had in the past.
