Amaya got up and snatched the stick from Bankotsu’s hand, prodding the fire briskly. Flames leaped high into the air, sparks spiraling up into the night sky. “I loved Inutaisho. But he’s a prick. That’s what I do. Fall for pricks.” She poked the hot, glowing embers. Stab. Stab. Stab. “I tried to move on. You know his son, Sesshomaru?” Sango nodded. “He’s mated your friend, Kagome now.”
“Kagome is married to Inutaisho’s younger son, Inuyasha, Amaya.”
“Not anymore. I should have seen it coming. You know what they say, ‘Like Father, Like Son.’ All I’ve ever wanted is to come first with SOMEBODY. Is that so much to ask?” She demanded, throwing the stick down in disgust and returning to sit beside Sango on the log.
She turned her attention to Bankotsu. “Why do I always have to come second behind these human women? Am I that repulsive?” A single, crystal tear made its way down the goddess’ cheek.
Bankotsu was horrified. This goddess was beautiful, but she was even more histrionic than Jakotsu. He said the first thing that came to his mind. “Don’t ask me. I don’t do this relationship crap.” That probably shot any chances he had of nailing either woman. Well, he had never claimed to be a quick thinker. That’s what he had kept Renkotsu around for.
Sango put her arm around Amaya’s shoulder. “It’s not you, Amaya. You’ve just been picking the wrong men. I mean, really, Inutaisho and Sesshomaru? What were you thinking?”
Amaya nodded her head, her lower lip trembling. “And Miroku’s seven-times great grandfather. A mere human monk, and he rejected me too!”
“You placed a curse on Miroku’s ancestor.” Amaya nodded. Sango experienced a flash of insight, and decided to see where it would lead. “And Inutaisho?” Another nod. “I’m afraid to ask, but what was the nature of the curse you placed on Inu, Amaya?”
“Itwasjustalittlelovespell!”
&# 8220;You placed a love spell on Inutaisho? What happened?”
“He met Izayoi. He fell in love. Really, it was brilliant. Izayoi was beautiful, but incredibly stupid and lacking in spiritual powers. And Inutaisho couldn’t even look at another woman once he had seen her. All he wanted to do was make pups with her, protect her, and find a way to make her immortal. It would have kept him out of trouble forever!”
Sango realized that, had Amaya’s plan worked, it would actually have been brilliant. An all-consuming, eternal love would have left him little time or energy to pursue absolute power, as well as being a fitting fate for an out-of-control serial philanderer. Amaya seemed to have a gift for administering justice with a poetic twist. “So, what went wrong?”
“The whole human versus demon thing. I didn’t predict the enemies Inu had made amongst the ruling class of demons using the situation as an excuse to try to overthrow the Western Lands.”
“That didn’t end up happening, did it?”
“Ai and Sesshomaru managed to keep control of their holdings here. They lost all of Inu’s holdings on the Continent.”
“So why a human princess. Why not make him fall for you, if you loved him so much?”
“I was his first, and he never loved me. Never showed any signs of being interested in any of the demonesses who came on to him, either. So I set him up with the most beautiful mortal in all the lands. After all, he had already proven he was willing to mate with a human, even have pups with one.”
“What do you mean, Amaya? Wasn’t Sesshomaru’s mother Inutaisho’s first mate?”
“She was. When Inutaisho brought his bride back from the Continent, she appeared as a human priestess. A little, black-haired thing very like your Kagome. Brimming with power. She disappeared for a while, and when he brought her back to his palace, she came back as a white haired dog demoness, carrying Sesshomaru in her arms. That’s when Inutaisho began getting the Western Lands into more and more wars, expanding his territories, even regaining much of his father’s original lands on the Continent. He managed to kill off all of his court that way, within a matter of a hundred years or so. The only courtier left from those days is old Myoga, the flea. And he’s such a coward, and so loyal to Inutaisho, that he would never speak of such things. I don’t even know if Sesshomaru himself knows his mother is not as she appears to be. Though she still does seem to be a very strange demon. She is as reclusive as a woman can be and still live in a huge palace. She has more dealings with the Kami than she does with demons.”
“After all the grief Sesshomaru gave Inuyasha about being a hanyou, he isn’t a pure demon himself?” Sango’s head was spinning. “So, you knew Inutaisho wouldn’t have a hard time with the idea of falling for a human princess. What about Sesshomaru’s mother? Don’t dog demons mate for life?”
“WOLF demons mate for life. Dog demons are not native to Japan, and the only ones I have ever encountered are Inu and his sons. From what I have seen, they are not overly loyal to their mates.”
“And you’re telling me that Kagome is with Sesshomaru now? How the Hell did that happen?” Sango was now certain that Amaya was delusional.
