[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]

Sesshoumaru leaned on his hands in frustration at his desk. It had been three months since Kagome had been taken from him. His inner beast had been restless and it aggravated him.

‘We were supposed to be mated by now and she would be pupped,’ he growled.

The faint scent of Naraku and ocean wind wafted by his nose, making him look up. It was Kagura. He had always known her to be impeccably dressed, an old habit as a youkai geisha. He had never called on her services in the past, but he had heard of her talents. He knew that she had wanted him long ago, and probably still, but Sesshoumaru had never been attracted to her physically.

“About time you noticed I was here, Lord Sesshoumaru,” she taunted coolly.

“This Sesshoumaru has much to deal with, especially matters between the former mating of you and Inu Yasha,” Sesshoumaru stated, grinning inside, just knowing his beast would be soon temporarily satisified.

“Whatever do you mean? Hai, your brother and I were mated, but I removed my mark, annulling our mating,” she replied, unfazed.

“But his mark could not be removed, correct?” he pried lazily, though his blood boiled knowing the answer.

“No, he is hanyou,” she answered.

“You agreed to mate the Regent of the West, Lord Inu Yasha and then after some time, being given a generous home and family, took his pups away and removed the mark. You have also without immediate knowledge, placed Inu Yasha, your Lord and mate in dire health. Right now, as we speak, Inu Yasha has aged to that of a fifty year old mortal and suffers consumption. In doing so, Kagura, you have betrayed this Clan and the Western domain. Your actions has sentenced you to death. As Lord of the Western Lands, you will die by beheadment and your body bubbled away to nothing by my dokkasou,” he grinned sadistically and leapt at Kagura, grabbing her throat.

He dragged her out of his office and through his estate as she screamed. Inu Yasha ran down and Sesshoumaru barked, “Do not interfere, half- breed. Her death is inevitable.”

Sesshoumaru unsheathed Toukijin, which has been with him in his office, eagerly awaiting this moment. Kagura’s ruby eyes were wide with fright, her hands trying to pry his claws off of her.

Sesshoumaru grinned again, her fear creating such a scintillating scent that his beast howled.

“You were a geisha once, and now as you die, you will be known as a whore. My brother will no longer suffer from your betrayal and your sons will know their family where they belong. The kamis will not have sympathy on your soul,” he said darkly.

He threw Kagura to the ground and brought Toukijin down across her neck with a ‘swoosh.’

Her head rolled to the ground, her red eyes now seeing and her body spazzing, struggling to maintain life. Sesshoumaru looked up at Inu Yasha and raised his claws, the nail glowing a bright fluorescent green. When satisfied, the taiyoukai turned his claws downward, letting the dokkasou drip on the kaze youkai’s corpse.

The acid eagerly ate away all of Kagura, but by that time, Sesshoumaru had already turned heel, leaving Inu Yasha to watch.

Inu Yasha could not deny that he found some glee in seeing his former mate die, but oddly it left an empty place. He was going to die. There was no real happy ending for him. He had hoped for a long time until Kikyo had pinned him to the Goshinboku that he might have a chance to be happy. When he was revived by Kagome fifty years later, he was angry and seeing the futuristic miko was not something he wanted to see. He wanted to destroy the village and anything that he had ever had problems because he was a hanyou. After a while in Kagome’s company, he had come to have hope again.

Then, Kagome disappeared and for years he was alone again.

‘Always alone.’

He looked at the sky. He wanted to shout and scream that it was not fair. But he lowered his head, shoulders slumping, and ventured back inside. He scented out Sesshoumaru and found him to be in his office, a habit that was forming lately. He knew Sesshoumaru was frustrated. He had seen them carrying an unconscious Kagome out. He had not known why until he had personally put Lord Aya into submission. It was surprisingly that the Eastern taiyoukai had allowed him to have that type of hold as it was rumoured that the black inu youkai was even stronger than Sesshoumaru.

The Youkai throne was the ultimate station coveted by many youkai. The position was only inherited through the blood of the female. Rarely did a male sit on the throne, though there had been until a female was filtered. Their symbol was the golden star. Kagome’s family had been diluted through the Dragon and Phoenix youkai, harnessing the legendary magic. The strength came from the inu. Technically, Kagome was a distant cousin by type of youkai, but her clan had maintained the most potent bloodline on the planet. The Queen would be required to mate the strongest male youkai of all the lands to continue the line.

Although his brother was strong, Inu Yasha knew currently that because of his long time in confinement that he was not totally in full power. It would be a little while longer before Sesshoumaru would be at full power and strong enough to make a challenge to any suitor.

Inu Yasha rounded the corner and came to Sesshoumaru’s office, and then entered without knocking. Sure enough, Sesshoumaru was going through paperwork, trying to pass time.

“You know, sitting here won’t make your fucking pansy ass any stronger. In a couple more months is the ball for Kagome’s introduction to the world court. I’d be training if I were you,” Inu Yasha warned.

“This Sesshoumaru has been training with Lord Aya. This is none of your concern, Inu Yasha,” Sesshoumaru replied coolly, raising his amber eyes from his papers.

“Bullshit. It’s my business too. Kagome’s been my best friend and at one time, bastard, you wanted to share her with me. I’d be there banging down the doors to get her back then stand around you all day. Yeah, sure, thanks for killing Kagura for me, but really, that could’ve waited. I know you want Kagome back so stop playing this act and go get her,” Inu Yasha growled, leaning over the desk.

Sesshoumaru’s eyes tinged with red briefly, and then he blinked as he growled away his frustration.

“This Sesshoumaru will bring her back. Now leave,” the silver haired lord gritted out, his claws embedded in his desk top.

Inu Yasha grinned, satisfied with pissing Sesshoumaru off.

As he closed the office door, he hear Sesshoumaru dialing his phone. Inu Yasha paused and heard Sesshoumaru roar a few moments later, “Lord Aya, get your ass here.”

‘Yep, definitely got him pissed off,’ Inu Yasha grinned to himself and finally walked off.
