Hey guys. So, I've decided to post a new story. I started writing a few chapters for this and since I am having trouble with Utsukushiki Omoide, hopefully, you guys don't mind reading something new until I am able to finish that story.

Anyway, here is chapter 1!

Chase: The Awakening of Maru-sama

Chapter 1 - Happy Hunting!

"No."

"I beg your pardon?"

The stoic daiyoukai stared at his stoic mother who sat across from him with his rich golden eyes boring an imaginary hole through the middle of her forehead. "The answer is no mother. I am not going to waste my time taking a mate and end up dead like my late father."

He really hated the bitch. For someone who brought him into this world, he'd wonder why she was always pulling a stunt on him to better his life. It's as if he was her personal trophy, showing him off as a prize that was made with the former Inu no Taisho's flesh and blood.

He was Lord Sesshomaru of the Western Lands. The eldest son of Touga, the Inu no Taishou.

Killing Perfection!

He was already perfect, why give him the name in the first place if meddling his life was to be needed?

"Sesshomaru," started the Lady Mother as she began to pick at her painted claws, "when was the last time you had bedded with a female?"

The daiyoukai growled at her as his brows knitted as one, "It is none of your concern."

"It is my concern," said the Lady Mother slowly getting up, "My dear son, you need an heir and with me stepping down as Lady of The Western Lands, you need a mate and she needs to be pupped momentarily. Our blood needs to be multiplied and the only way to do so is through reproduction. After reigning for this long, a woman needs her independence when the time is right and that time is now. I do not wish to bring another heir as I want to reign on my own, so it is up to your seed to keep our bloodline going."

He narrowed his eyes and snarled at her. He hated it when she had made a point and was right. 'Kami, I really hate her, but mother is right. I do need an heir. I've come of age to have a mate... with mother stepping down, I need a powerful mate by my side, but who? Every female mother has suggested, I've declined... They're all just whores who want a piece of youkai status and wealth... I cannot think of one demoness who is not after my wealth. Who could she possibly have in mind this time?'

"And who do you suppose this one should take as a mate this time, mother?" grumbled Sesshomaru as he leaned back in his seat. "All these demonesses want status and to have the opportunity of bedding with me. There is no sense of me mating with a dimwit. There is no thrive in a conversation of admiration of a piece of material or flattery of my person."

"Tsk! Since every female youkai I have suggested and politically advised you to take as a mate, you have rejected without even considering the reasonings. I have no other choice but to use sorcery," she sat back down staring at him then a small smile rose upon her purple lips.

"No you will not!" barked the daiyoukai as he shot up from his seat. He bared his fangs at her as his eyes bled crimson, "I refuse to take a mate from your use of sorcery just to produce an heir!"

"Aw, you have no choice right now. You can't seem to make up your mind. Therefore, I must make a decision for you," said the Lady Mother as her smile got wider.

"Bitch, you will not use sorcery!" growled Sesshomaru as he grabbed hold of Bakusaiga unsheathing it and pointed it at her throat threatening to unleash its power. "Submit mother or I'll have your head!"

The Lady of The Western Lands stared at him as her smile turned into a wicked one. She began to laugh her head off. Flaring her youki at her son, she had raised her hand pointing the palm of her hand to his face. Releasing a wave of power at him, the daiyoukai tried to deflect her but ended up into the wall of his study dropping his Bakusaiga. Her power restraint him from moving causing him to snarl at her.

"It's already too late, my dear son! I already enchanted a love spell! It cannot be reversed! Your beast knows who he wants and when your beast finds her, he will lust for her in ways that you will never know... and eventually, Sesshomaru, you will mate her because she is the future... the future of our bloodline!"

"You bitch!" grunted Sesshomaru as he tried to break free. He gave her a deadly leer, "You will pay, mother!"

"No, I won't, but you will thank me when you have your mate," she laughed as she rose from her seat and walked toward the door. Sesshomaru managed to use his dokkaso on her and she deflected every single attack. She snapped her finger and a portal opened. She gave him one last glance before going through it, "To make things easier for yourself Sesshomaru, just accept it. The spell will activate when your beast takes over completely, which should be soon. Accept, find your mate and the spell deactivates. It's very easy! Anyway, happy hunting, my sweet son!"

The portal closed with the binding spell releasing the daiyoukai. He stood there growling loudly as his eyes continued to bleed red. His youkai markings along his cheekbones enlarged, then his fangs and claws. He felt his beast beginning to stir within him, tapping at him to let him take over. Sesshomaru fought back as he shook his head fiercely. He needed to be in control, not his beast! 'Where is she? Why have you left our mate with that mongrel? Answer me!'

"Get back in your cage! I will never mate with that wench!" growled Sesshomaru as he dropped to his knees growling loudly. Claws gripped the wooden floorboard as he continued to resist. His silver bangs covered his eyes then soon he stopped growling.

A small snicker escaped his mouth as a devilish smile curled on his face.

His beast was finally in control. "Hn, now to find the half-breed."

Let me know what you guys think so far!
