The Half Breed's Mistress

Chapter one

Boredom

Kagome watched Sesshomaru stroke the head of his personal slave, Rin. She was far beyond being jealous of her husband's fascination with the little human and at this point she was almost relieved by it. Their marriage was one of convenience and politics. She had been in love with the Inutaisho at some point but now she merely tolerated their union. There was one problem. She was bored out of her mind. It had been her personal choice not to take a lover because beyond her severe distaste for her husband, she loved him and cared deeply about the kingdom they ruled together. A lover could be a spy or an assassin. They risk was too great for the simple pleasures of the flesh and she would not risk it for the sake of entertainment.

Riku, her maid in waiting brought her a goblet of wine and bowed deeply. Riku was a beautiful panther demon with milk chocolate skin, a lithe body and long hair as white as her husband's. Riku was also deeply in love with her mistress, her devotion going beyond that of a servant. Kagome caressed the woman's cheek and raised her chin until their eyes met. Kagome loved Riku as well and though she was no lover of women and she could not return the girl's feelings, she could show her she was treasured. She kissed her lips tenderly; ignoring the glare that she knew was coming from her husband. Sesshomaru paid her little to no attention seeing as Rin was more than happy to attend to his needs, but he was still intensely possessive of her and her attentions.

"I would like some fresh fruit, Riku." She said. The woman, still blushing furiously and eyes slightly glazed with pleasure hurried to complete her task. Sesshomaru grabbed her wrist and yanked hard enough to get her attention. "Careful, wife lest I butcher your pet." He snarled. Kagome watched him with detachment and her face was impassive though he was slowly crushing the bones in her wrist. "You break my toys and I will burn yours to ashes while she lives." She said in a cold monotone. Sesshomaru's eyes narrowed but he released her. She ignored the agony of her crushed bones and merely put her hand in her lap as the bones in her wrist painfully rebuilt.

They were sitting on the balcony observing the trade fair in the castle walls. Kagome watched dispassionately as yet another year of trade proceeded. They were there to oversee the new goods brought into their land and judged whether or not they wanted such product traded over their lands. Some things were banned from commerce within their lands and they governed their lands with an iron fist despite the fact that their lands flourished under their rule. It was bittersweet as Kagome felt like a prisoner. Sesshomaru was possessive, cold and arrogant. On top of this already dismal list of personality traits, he also had a penchant for violence. When they had first married, she'd been an optimistic and cheerful bride being a soul demon, a rare creature and one that has the innate abilities of a miko.

Sesshomaru had been a picture of beauty and elegance, someone she had admired and soon fell in love with even before their union. He'd courted and wooed her wonderfully, taking advantage of her gullible and joyful nature. Yet, after their union, things had changed drastically. Their wedding night had been a horror. He'd ripped through her maidenhead with a savagery that appalled her to this day. She'd realized then that she was a specially acquired brood mare. Sesshomaru had loved the human Rin before he'd even planned to marry but he could not make his father's mistake. He could not marry the girl and he knew that his offspring had to be powerful beyond what his enemies could rival. A soul demon harnessed the power of all demon kind within their blood and could sire any and all elemental demons. He had the most powerful brood mare in all of Japan.

After years of being abused and raped by her husband, years of broken bones and bloody beatings, Kagome was as cold as ice and impervious to his almost unintentional brutality. She no longer hated Rin, but was glad for a buffer between her and his sometimes insatiable sexual appetites. She did not enjoy sex with her husband but long ago she had been desperate for a kind touch and had given in to the enthusiastic adoration of her servant Riku. The girl was gentle and loving, so when Kagome had need of release or tenderness she called on her maid in waiting for pleasure. It was beginning to seem cruel even to her, for she could not return the girl's feelings anymore than she could find that young girl that had once wore joy like a cloak and reveled in it. That girl was dead.

Her attention was snatched by a commotion in the great hall. She looked down to see twenty demons fighting to subdue a slave. Sesshomaru stood and a snarl escaped him. Shocked, Kagome followed his gaze to the slave and was stunned to see that the slave's resemblance to her husband was uncanny. "Who is he?" she asked in a monotone to rival his own. Sesshomaru bared his fangs at her, something she was not impressed by. "That waste is my father's half breed whelp!" He spat. "Inuyasha, you find new ways to endanger your own life. I told you not to be caught dead on my lands again and here you are caught while still breathing!" he said in a powerful voice. Inuyasha raised his head and glowered at his brother with disgust. "Eat shit, Sesshomaru. These lands were my father's as well." He shouted menacingly.

Sesshomaru's brow rose in disbelief and disdain. "I will have you butchered and fed to the dogs." He said coldly. Kagome was fascinated by the emotion pouring from her husband. The only things capable of causing emotional responses from her husband were herself and the human child Rin. Now his brother obviously caused him a measure of distress. Interesting. "Wait. I am in need of a personal slave. Have him cleaned and brought to my room." She said. Sesshomaru grabbed her by the throat and lifted her off the ground with a deadly growl that caused the entire palace to freeze in their movements. He was crushing her throat this time but she simply lifted her hand to release a ball of light that would incinerate Rin where she stood.

His eyes narrowed on her but he released her. "You play a dangerous game, wife." He said coldly. She was unable to speak but then again she had no desire to. She nodded to the guards that held Inuyasha and they had no trouble moving him as his horror at his brother's actions towards his wife had left him speechless and dumbfounded. By the time she reached her rooms, with Riku following closely behind her, she was able to speak again. "Prepare a bath for him. He is filthy." She said awaiting his arrival. Riku hesitated. "My Lady, are you okay?" she asked timidly. Kagome smiled at the girl. Riku's tenderness allowed her to retain her sanity and avoid becoming the monster her husband was. "I will be fine. Now go." She said softly. Riku bowed to her and went on her way to complete her task.

The guards brought Inuyasha in; the ragged pair of trousers he wore was even more vulgarly tattered than she thought and his tanned flesh healing rapidly from a whipping he'd recently received. His waist length snow white locks and amber eyes were similar to his brother with subtle differences. His hair was lightly wavy and fuller than his brother and his beautiful amber gaze was a richer bolder gold. He was lean like his brother but with the definition of muscle more prone to humans than demon kind. He stared at her with an intensity that caught her off guard. "What is it?" she asked as she circled him, taking in his form with an interest she had not thought to feel. "Why would you let that rat bastard treat you like that?" he asked.

Kagome was so taken off guard she hesitated before answering. "I am a slave to my husband. You are demon enough to know I am merely high ranked and powerful property. He under our law can do as he wishes." She answered. Inuyasha grabbed her wrist, unfortunately it was taking longer to heal and he felt the crushed bones beneath his palm. His eyes shot to hers and she watched him impassively as he examined her as well. "Did you want me just to piss him off?" he asked perceptively. She smiled slightly and bowed her head to him, giving him a light mocking curtsy. "I would rather not have to fight with you as it seems the Inutaisho blood runs thickly in your blood. It took more guards than is plausible for a half breed to contain you. Congratulations. I'm impressed." She said pressing her palm against his chest over his heart. "This is strong." She observed softly.

Inuyasha watched the Mistress of the House of the Moon as a wistful smile touched her lips. She was a stunningly beautiful creature. Her full wavy sable locks were long to her waist, her body was voluptuous and her curves mouth watering. Beneath her kimono was a full set of breasts, a tiny waist and rounded hips and a plump rear. Her face was so hauntingly beautiful and sad he just wanted to hold her until he could get her to smile. Her blue eyes were large and luminous like huge glittering sapphires. She had a beauty mark on the right side of her face right above a full set of kissable lips. Her skin was porcelain and clear with golden undertones.

He could not fathom why his brother would be as cruel to a demoness as powerful and gorgeous as her. Over Rin? He knew about the human girl he'd taken as a foster. He'd raised her and then his sick bastard ass had started fucking her. He could smell the power under the flesh of this demoness and the scent was intoxicating. "What kind of demon are you?" he asked as she dismissed the guards. She flicked him a glance that looked almost uncertain. "I am a soul demoness. Now follow me." She said. He was stunned speechless yet again. Was his brother senile? He could beget an army of powerful demons of all types from her. He would be able to avoid the weakness that was their father's undoing. And he was jeopardizing that for the sake of Rin? The weakness he sought to escape?

Kagome led him to a bath chamber that was lit up with candles. The water was hot enough to sooth tension but not enough to scald. Perfect. She tried to take his pants off but Riku hurried over and stopped her. "Please let me, My Lady." She asked anxiously. Kagome looked at her and the girl backed down. "As you wish, My Lady." She said humbly. Kagome took off his pants and he watched her every move intently. She was quick, graceful but efficient with her every move concentrating on her task. She led him into the bath and he sat back to soak away the bad memories of the day. "Undress me Riku." She said watching him.

His breath caught as Riku reluctantly unraveled the folds of her kimono to reveal more rich and creamy flesh. He stared at the perfection of her full breasts right down to the nest of sable curls between her thighs. "I will wash you." She said simply. He looked to the distressed panther demon on his right. "You could let your maid do it. I'm dirty and you're a lot better than this." He said. Kagome ignored him completely. She took the sponge and soap from her maid and began washing his shoulders. She was thorough despite his protest and the protests of her made. "Stand." She commanded. He stood and she washed his back, chest and arms. He blushed crimson when she stopped and he noticed she was staring at his manhood.

She looked up at him and he was about to ask what her stare was about when he felt her grip him in her hand. His eyes were hooded as she explored his length with an almost clinical curiosity. "Tell me, Inuyasha. Do you like to use this to inflict pain?" she asked in her strange monotone. It was almost if her monotone was hiding a plethora of emotion carefully concealed. "What the fuck do you take me for, lady?" he snarled at her. Her brow rose, reminding him of his brother. "Answer the question." She said calmly. He bristled at her condescending tone. "Of course not bitch! If I stick this in that pretty puss of yours you'll be begging me to keep it there." He said in a heated whisper as he inched close enough that their lips almost touched. Her eyes dropped to his mouth and lingered before they raised to meet his eyes again. "Then you will do nicely." She said.

Inuyasha watched her exit the water, droplets making erotic trails down her glistening body. "Riku, finish bathing him I must attend the fair. When I return I want him ready and in my chambers. Do you understand?" she asked as she grabbed a robe. Riku hurried over to her. "I must help you dress, My Lady." Riku said. Kagome waved her off and glanced at Inuyasha before looking back at her maid. "Do as I say." She said nd without another word she left. Inuyasha looked at the door then at the maid who was glowering at him.

"What the fuck did I just get myself into?"
