PROLOGUE

"WHAT! HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN! AFTER THAT BITCH"

Beth has just learned that a servant of her's stole a ring given to her by her lover. The servant, being jealous, stole it in hopes of marrying him instead of Beth, a half demon.

"I want everyone to go after her. She couldn't have gotten far.SESSHOMARU!!" Out of no where, SESSHOMARU appeared in front of his soon-to-be wife, worried about what had happened to her. Without showing any fear on his face he asked, "What's wrong."

some bitch just stole my favorite ring" "you know the one u gave me? Rage filled him up, as that was the ring his mother gave him and the ring he proposed with. "I will send all my servants AFTER it, but I want you to stay here while we go looking for it. Keep some of your guards here just in case she comes back."alight but I doubt she will" " I'll be back as soon as I can. Get some rest, you'll need it." He went off outside. They saw the foot prints of the thief heading east, but Sesshomaru could since something in the north. Splitting the army of servants in half they went looking for her.

In the northern mountains, a weak girl was running. She wore servants clothes that symbolized that she worked for Beth and on her ring finger was the missing ring. She was the thief. "No one will be able to find me here," whispering to herself as she pushed a rock back far enough for her to go down into a hole she made for this very day.

She had been planning this for months, in order to get back at Beth who she so loathed for stealing Sesshomaru from her. She believed that he loved her and not Beth and she decided to steal the ring. "With this ring, I shall save my one and only love from a decision forced upon him by a demon from the very depths of Hell. He will love me for it and together we will rule this world." There were noises coming from up above. Then she remembered that she forgot to close the pathway leading down into her pit made for hiding. She went over to the boulder to push it using the holes she made on it so it would slide against the slimy algae she placed under it, but something grabbed her arm and pulled her out. It was Jaken with Sesshomaru and many servants of Beth's. "Go and tell the others we found her and to head back to the castle. My servants may stay a little longer."

"What are you going to do to me. You won't hurt me because you love me so much."

"Lord Sesshomaru loves Beth not a filthy good for nothing such as yourself."

Seeing the ring on Megan, the thief, Sesshomaru takes it from her, ripping off her finger in the process

"Sesshomaru loves one person only...and it's not you." Taking his sword, he stabs her in the heart and she dies a quick death. He takes the Tensegia and revives her, only to let his servants eat her alive.

When Sesshomaru gets to Beth's room, he lays next to her a ring and a case with the finger.

Beth just wake up to see Sesshomaru leave the room. Her eyes were red from crying in her pillow and lack of sleep. It had been a few hours before Sesshomaru came back and she slept less then ten minutes. She saw next to her , the ring and a case. She first, put on the ring and opened the case to find in it a bloody finger. Jumping out of bed, flinging the door open, and racing down the hallway, she wrapped her arms around Sesshomaru lovingly. "You found it! Oh thank you, thank you! I've been so worried about...the ring while you were gone." She was starting to calm down and let go of Sesshomaru. He turned around and hugged her back.

"What do you think would have happened to me? It was only that pathetic, good for nothing servant of yours. She was the only one who you had no respect for.

"She didn't deserve any. I didn't even what her to be, but she got me into making her a servant. I gave her the hard stuff and that was all for her trying to control my life. She wants to have you for power, I know it." Sesshomaru looked down at her as Beth looked like she would soon cry, thinking about Megan marrying Sesshomaru instead. "You're the only one for me and that's how it's going to stay. You're the only one that I'll ever love." "That finger in the case that you gave me is Megan's?"

"I wanted to show you that she died and we won't have to worry about her any more."

"What would I do without you?"

"Be a beautiful young maiden that is looking for a man to propose for you. You won't be a maiden for much longer.

"I can't wait. Our Wedding is so close and yet so for a way."

"You need to get some sleep. You'll need it" As to tell her good night, he lets his lips touch her's. Beth walks back to her room in a daze and lays down on her bed to sleep While everyone's asleep, the finger in the case moves.

Far off somewhere, someone is healing a beaten up person who's close to death. Megan Beth gets up in the middle of the night feeling something is wrong and walks to lord SESSHOMARU room she knocks on the door tentavly The door opens slowly. Sesshomaru is standing there looking at her in surprise. "What's wrong Beth?"

"I don't know for sure, but I feel something bad is happening right now."

"Do you now where it is?"

I...really can't say where it's coming from."

"You go ahead and sleep in here. I'll go walk around to see if I can feel something."

"No really I can go with you. It's no trouble at all."

Sesshomaru looks at her caringly. "You need your strength. Go on to sleep and I'll look around for it. I'll be back if I don't find anything.

"alright" She walks in and gets in his bed, but to worried to go to sleep.

"I'll be fine, just go to sleep," he tried reassuring her.

"I'll try, but it's hard to when I can feel it."

"It'll be alright."

Sesshomaru walked around the castle grounds, but he couldn't feel anything. He told the servants to be on guard should anything come their way. He went back to his room and found Beth asleep. He slowly got into bed next to her, trying his hardest not to wake her up. As he started going to sleep he could start to feel the disturbance as well. Could it actually be? It was impossibly. He jumped out of bed and headed toward Beth's sleeping chambers. The little black case was still opened with the bloody finger layer inside it. Right behind him was Beth, worried and frightened that something had worried even Sesshomaru. Then they both saw the finger wiggle around. Laughter came from Sesshomaru. "Of course. I should have known that the demons wouldn't like the taste of suck a wretch as she. Megan being alive after being left there in the middle of no where though is very..." He froze as he thought of what could have happened. "Sesshomaru what's's wrong? She couldn't of produced her own magic by herself. She's not a powerful priestess and can't even perform the simplest of spells.""Then there can only be one other thing that has happened. HE has healed her to serve in his army. I don't see how she will be of any help to him though." Sesshomaru thought of an enemy that had tried and failed at taking the west lands from him. It seems that he is ready to try his hand again, but if this is true, he wont show any mercy.

"Then I must have all my priestesses hear with me to help you fight. I don't care what you say this time, I will fight this battle with you. I'm not some sort of useless good for nothing like Megan was and I'm certainly not like that demon poser, John. This battle against him should be simple enough, depending on who has chosen to help him fight." Looking at Beth and knowing there was no way of changing her mind he responds, "Before we go to get the priestesses, I will send for Cameron. He will be a perfect member in helping us to kill off John and Megan once and for all." Cameron was their messenger and a friend of Beth's who Sesshomaru has gotten use to, even though he was a half phoenix demon. Then again, Beth was a half demon and he didn't hate her. quite the opposite in fact. He was in love with her, which when you're Sesshomaru it was a big deal. "All right, but how long will it take for him to get over here so we can get to the priestesses?" "Jaken, get in hear now!" Jaken rushed into the room as quickly as possible. "You called for me Lord Sesshomaru?"

Sesshomaru pointed to the window and Jaken knew what to do. He took his staff and sent long jets of fire out into the sky to resemble a flaming bird. "It should only take him at most by sunrise. Jaken you may return to your post. Shall we go to sleep now Beth?" She stared at the case in a disgust and remarked, "Go ahead, I'll be there in a second." As Sesshomaru went to his chambers, Beth placed the case on a pedestal. She than placed several barriers around it so that no one could get to it. Hoping that her work was done, she went into SESSHOMARU's chambers and laid next to him. He put his arm around her and looked at her in the eyes. "Good night Beth."
