Chapter 116 - The Certainty *The Day When You And The Sun Perished* (Stella's Soundtrack Challenge)

She could feel the Western Lord approaching. She had no choice but to work faster. If he found her before she finished her little project, she would certainly die. She could only pray that if she were to fail, that the woman Lord Sesshoumaru cared for had softened him somehow. Then, perhaps, her death would be quick. Otherwise, she knew she would suffer as no other had suffered before. Not only had she conspired with that foolish concubine, Tsukiko, to bar the taiyoukai from ever entering his homelands again, but she also hired those idiot dragons to have his woman killed.

How could she have been so stupid? She knew better than to act against Lords, especially the Western Lord, but her greed had gotten the best of her. Tsukiko had paid her handsomely for her work and also promised her a high position in the palace once he became Lord himself. She should have seen the folly of their actions. She should have turned him down flat, but no, she had to fill her coin purse until the seams split under the pressure. She had no need of money, and yet she craved it like most others. Greed would be her downfall if she didn't hurry.

Her plan now was a good one. She knew Lord Sesshoumaru adored the woman he traveled with. That had been abundantly clear by his reaction to her temporary death, and Migotoyami suspected he would do anything to prevent it from happening again. She had peeked in on their traveling party once more, when her energy had regenerated, and she knew all too well that if the girl were to die, the whole world would go with her. Sesshoumaru would burn out the sun itself in his grief. He would agree to her offer. She was certain of it.
