The Name of a Lord

I do not own Inuyasha and Co. Enjoy and thanks if you take the time to review! :)

His name is Sesshomaru.

He finds himself forgetting this simple fact sometimes. In his never ending roles and responsibilities its ‘Sesshomaru-sama’ this and ‘Lord Sesshomaru’ that. He had no qualms with the act of being paid homage, for he is a being whose very existence demanded such. Yet, he found himself tiring of the senseless and perpetual drivel of his duty.

His lips lifted in a silent sneer revealing gleaming fangs. His duty.

Golden eyes as hard as flint raised slowly, surveying the vastness before him with a casual detached indifference. Sweeping dark lashes blinked lazily against aristocratic heritage. He stood looking out upon all of Japan, the mists of the surrounding mountains eddying languidly in swirls of delicate white. He stood alone amongst an outcropping perched precariously on the edge, unconcerned of the danger. His booted feet made no noise as he deftly shifted tightly corded muscles and... allowed himself to release the minute of sighs.  

Here, in the solitude of nature and all its terrible beauty, with the wind tossing his moonlight spun air, the mighty Daiyoukai, Sesshomaru, Lord of West, closed his eyes in reverence.

For it was here that the being known just as Sesshomaru could exist, even if only for a moment in time. In the span of a breath the line between demon and man faded. His existence was uncomplicated. He was allowed to belong only to himself.

Simply Sesshomaru.
