So you sailed away
Into a grey sky morning...
He needed a wife.
He was one of the richest men alive, he owned a solid company and was at the very top and now, now he needed a wife and love had nothing to do with it. It had taken him some years to gain ownership of his fathers company, and once a son with such a profile does take over, they get a wife. It was just the way things worked. The wives of these men were know as trophy wives, for the mere fact that they were nothing more than that, trophy's, but the normal people didn't know that, and his future wife, didn't know that.
Most men his age and the had power like him took a wife for show, it was kinda like playing house. She would be there when he needed and he would give her money to blow and most women, of high class, were way ok with that. They were not little girls who believed in fairtales and love, they believed in money and diamonds.
But he, he needed a wife and he would not make the same mistake his father did. See his father took a demon women for a wife, or in his demon terms a mate. Sesshomaru's mother was beautiful and had her own money, she had her own reasons for marrying his father. His mistake was that he took a human lover, Sesshomaru would not make that mistake. He would be taking a human wife, but he would take a demon for a lover, any pups he had would be pure. Yes his father did it wrong, and he was going to do it right.
Sesshomaru left his office road the elevator down 30 floors. Once the doors opened he walked out, passes the girls and the front desk without such much as a glance to them.
He reached the front doors and pushed them open. As he stepped out a girl came running past him, she had her arm stretch out as if she were trying to catch something. He watched as the girl pounced at whatever she was after, she nailed it with two feet.
"Ah ha!" The girl bent down and picked it up "Stupid wind" He heard he say, he then watched as she looked at the object.
"Crap" She said with a sigh "Why me?"
He knew that voice, it was the why me that gave her away, he knew her, but could not remember how. The girl turned around and almost ran into him, she noticed him and stepped back "Oh sorry-" when she looked up she gasped "Sesshomaru?"
"Miko"
She gave him a flat look, she hated being called that, and he had always called her that, ever since they were kids. Just because she was from a long line of miko's. "I was just on my way to give you this"
She held up the card, it was wet, he rose a eyebrow,
"Its a wedding invite" She told him,
He looked at her and removed the card from her hand and read it.
"So my brother has chosen the other one over you"
She gave him a flat look "Gee thanks, rub it in why don't you" She spoke under her breath,
"I would have thought he would have chosen you"
"Why do you think he would have chosen me?" Really, everyone had thought he would choose her, Sesshomaru was not the only one.
"You were merely the better choice miko"
Kagome half smile, she knew he had not meant it as a compliment, but she took it as one anyway. Sesshomaru just looked at her, his own words hitting him as she stood their smiling.
She was merely the better choice.
He needed a wife, and he was now looking right at her.
"So, you going to come?" She asked, not liking being under his cold stare. Sesshomaru had not seen his brother in 4 years, heck he had not seen her in 5, yet here they were talking , as if they never missed a beat. She had grown, her hair was long and and black as ever, her eyes still held a shine, she was taller, and her body was now that of a women.
"I shall be there" He told her, she smiled,
"Well I guess I will see you then" She waved and made her way back from the way she came. Sesshomaru stood and watched her go.
"Who is that" Sesshomaru looked to his side, were Naraku now stood, he was another powerful son and even thought they played the same game Sesshomaru did not like him, and he did not trust him. Sesshomaru looked back down the street, "My future mate"
Yes, he needed a wife, and he had his cold demon heart set on her.
