The Curse of a Wicked Man

Chapter 1: Cursed

Sesshomaru stared at the woman in front of him. Her hair floated around her as if she was suspended in water. The kimono she bore was far more elegant then the any thing Sesshomaru had seen before. Her presence illuminated the room around them. Looking around, Sesshomaru realize he could not recall how he came to be in the room or even who this woman was.

"Sesshomaru." She greeted him as her voice echoed itself.

He narrowed his eyes at the woman before him. "How is it you know my name?"

"Oh my child." her feet lightly touched down on the ground showing she was around his height. "Your name is the name of fear. All know of you."

He smirked at her.

"Do not take pride in that, Sesshomaru." she told him, like a parent scolding a child.

"And just who are you to talk to me that way?" He glared at her.

"You know who I am, you just refuse to believe in me, my son." She sighed. "But I will humor you. I am the creator. The creator of you and all things. And as your creator, I am completely ashamed of you." she told him. "Long ago, I gave you a heart; but you have turned it into ice, you have hardened it from the world. You have fully destroyed your ability to love with all the blood that your own hands have spilt. You truly disgrace me."

The goddess words were harsh, but to Sesshomaru they were like an annoying drone. "I will not apologize for any of the things I have done."

"I never expected you to." an almost evil grin formed on her beautiful face. "I have only come to warn you. I have connected your soul to that of another's. You will crave her, need her even. From this day on, Sesshomaru, no other woman will be able to satisfy your needs. No matter how she touches you. The only person that will matter is your mate. I made her specifically for you. She will be your punishment."

"Punishment?" one of his eye brows perked up. "that does not sound like very good punishment to me, Goddess." he mocked her.

"Now, now puppy. I wasn't finished." she moved closer to him. "Your heart will yearn for her. In five years time, if you do not find her all the worlds anguish will be delivered upon your own soul. All the hurt that you have caused others will be felt through out your body. You will feel pain to the point that you will beg to die. But you will never experience death.

"If you ignore your calling towards her or she does not accept you for the monster you are, you will suffer the same fate. If you find her and you take her life with own hands or allow another do the same then your punishment will be ten times over. If she accepts and loves you with everything she is and you refuse to love her back, then she can take your punishment from you. However, if she takes it I will strip you of your demon blood, and you will be fully human."

She watched his eyes narrow.

"Oh, but don't worry puppy. There are some good things that go along with this enchantment. If you will full heartedly admit that you love her. I will forgive you of your sins and allow you to live a peaceful life in her arms. If you sacrifice your own self for her life, then that soul of yours will make it to heaven. But she must love you back for either one of those things to happen."

He stared her down, "Hn, this is bullshit. You are wasting my valuable time."

The goddess reached forward and gently touched his cheek with he finger tips. Instantly, his body was consumed with pain. Every square inch of him was in complete and utter agony. His flesh felt as if it was being ripped from his bones and burned at the same time. His sous felt as if was breaking off into tiny pieces.

"This, Sesshomaru, is only a small fraction of the pain you will experience under my punishment." she released her hold on him as he dropped to the ground.

He panted as he felt an eerie chill form around his body. Sesshomaru was no fool, he knew that pain was something he never wanted to experience again. "How do I find her?" he asked, nearly broken.

"Her hair is as black as the malice in your heart. Her lips as red as the blood you have spilt. Her eyes are as beautiful as the children you have orphaned. Her skin is as pale as the death you leave on the trail behind you." the goddess told him. "She is by all means perfect. A perfect punishment for an evil man."

He took in a deep breath, as he listened to every word she said.

"When you see her, you will know it is her. Believe in that." She began to fade away in front of his eyes. "But remember one thing Sesshomaru. I will do everything in my power to make sure you fail. I will make sure that this light that I have brought into your life doesn't melt the ice in your heart."
