CHAPTER 2: DAYS HAD PAST

-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-D.D-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-

Days had past. No one talked about what happened to Kagome. She herself had no idea what happened. She awoke with an unknown coat lying on top of her. A vicious growling dog/wolf had been stitched into it in gold. A crescent moon stitched right behind it. Everyone noticed how she seemed to carry it around everywhere she went.

"Oy! Where'd you get the coat from Kagome?" Inuyasha had asked the second she walked into camp.

Dazed she looked up at Inuyasha and frowned. "I-I don't know." She stated then walked away to make her bed and go to sleep. Dumbstruck that she didn't fight back with him, he left her alone. Inuyasha had grown extremely worried about her. She was way to quiet for his liking. Her scent had changed to. Something was different about her. He realized that she was not lying when she said that she had no clue what happened. Being a half demon he can sense the racing of someone's heart. A racing heart would indicate that the person was lying. He would sometimes also pick up on the occasional scent of body sweat also. But she didn't do either of them.

While traveling he noticed a lot had changed about her. She would go to sleep extremely early and wake up at night, write in her book like she normally would (was it a journal she called it?), then stare at the night sky like she was waiting for something. She also constantly held onto that damn coat like it was her lifeline! Who the hell had given it to her? What in the name of hell happened to her during her bath?

The group wouldn't let her go anywhere by herself after that. She was being protected be everyone just to make sure nothing happened. Taking turns they would each stay up at night and look after the group. As Inuyasha watched at night time, so many questions ran through his mind. He could tell the rest of the group had grown very worried. Sango had followed Kagome to the bath constantly. But Kagome didn't seem to care. In fact, it was like she didn't even know Sango was there.

The second he found out who this mystery person was, he was going to kill them! No one touched his woman. No one.

-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-D.D-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-

His silken silver hair flowed in the wind. His kimono a deep and rich blue, tied elegantly around him. He held two swords at his hip, though it seemed they were never used much. But with good reason. Why use the swords when power came flowing off of you in waves like a tsunami? He was feared. No one dared try to fight for fear of dying a horrible death. Naraku? That foolish half demon had nothing on a full blooded demon like him. When people heard Naraku's name they feared. But not the type of fear that would come if they heard his name. Lord Ryohei. You would think that such a wonderful name would come from a wonderful Lord. But not this Lord.

Many wondered if he was the devil himself.

But like all men, he had a weakness. And for this demon, it was the scent of a woman. The scent so intoxicating that it made him want to crumble to his feet. He would go about his day like nothing. Killing and taking and searching for what he came to this land for. But when he was in the comfort of his own castle, he let loose his desires. He relished in the scent of that aroma. He walked to his balcony that faced the west and no matter how far he was from the scent the merciful wind would occasionally drift it toward him.

He needed it like he needed air! And if he had to kill innocents to get to it he would.

A creek of the floor board was heard from behind him and he turned to see a young maid passing his chambers. Human from the smell. But lovely none the less. She would do to subdue his desires for now. And gods help the poor little human maid because he was losing grip on his evil beast that needed release. The wind caught his nose and he knew that the beautiful scent was too hard for him to find due to it turning on and off and it was too far. The maid would do. He ran for her and once he caught up with the frightened little maid he rid her of her clothing. The beautiful scent drifted through the window and all he could imagine was that the scent was trapped below him. When the maids clothes were gone he had his way.

No servant had ever seen the poor pretty maid ever again.

-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-D.D-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-

His master had been growling and snarling for days on end. Jaken was starting to worry.

"Master Jaken! Stop being so annoying and let me go see Lord Sesshomaru!" yelled a frustrated Rin.

Sighing for the last time Jaken gripped the staff of two heads tightly wishing he could use it on the foul enigma that had made its way to the palace like a plague.

"Absolutely not Rin! Master Sesshomaru has not gained control over his beast yet and a puny human should not go near him! You will die if you go near him and it will be your own fault!" he yelled frowning hard at her.

Stopping mid thought, he thought about what he said.

Maybe if she died because of her own stupid mistakes Lord Sesshomaru won't kill me! And the castle will once again be silent! Delight ran through him for a split second. Oh but Lord Sesshomaru would always find some way to blame her stupid mistakes on me. (sigh!) I guess I can always dream.

Just as she was about to fight back, the growling in his lords room stopped completely. All the guards around his room seemed to relax slightly as they now understood that his beast had been tamed.

"Oh thank Heavens." Said Jaken as a happy Rin walked away from him and got ready to see her Lord.

-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-D.D-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-

A few moments passed as he finally, after days of battle with his beast, got a hold over his own body. His beast had gone mad! What in the hell had got him so worked up! The night his beast took over all he remembered was the sweet scent. But nothing after that. Slowly he got up and looked around at his surroundings. A mess was left for the maids to clean. The walls were scratched and torn. The whole room was surrounded by a barrier. He lifted his hand to brush the hair from his face when he noticed something was missing. His inner coat. The sign of his family lineage. The coat in which had the sign of his entire race. The coat in which his father passed to him as a gift. It was gone.

A coat in which was supposed to be given only to his future mate. A rumbling in his chest started. He wasn't supposed to lose that coat.

Rage built inside of him. How could his beast have been so stupid!

'Master is stupid! He did not take a mate. So I found a suitable female. Beautiful. Strong. One who WILL bare strong pups!' growled his beast.

At this Sesshomaru growled and mentally made the locks on his beast's cage tighter.

'Who is the female!' he yelled at his beast in the native tongue. His beast made no sound.

In demon tradition, once the coat was handed to a female, it was a symbol for the Mating Games to begin. Every female would fight each other until a dominate female was left standing. The fools would fight to the death just so they can have the title of "Lady of the Western Lands". And no matter what, he couldn't do anything to stop it.

Once his family lineage coat was handed down, the council would not allow him to stop the Mating Game. He was going to have to do something about his beast. For now he would have to find this demoness and get his coat back. He did not want to deal with protecting a mate. He refused to have her! No matter who it was, he would get rid of her no matter what.

'You insolent beast! Who is the female!' his beast ignored him and sat in his cage quietly. If his master did not know who the female was then he would not tell him. 'Fine. Stay silent. I shall find her on my own. And unfortunately for her, when I do, I shall kill her and be rid of her once and for all.'

This caught the attention of his beast and he went wild. No!

'Master NO! You know not what you do! The female is-'

'This is your own fault! You dare drag a female into this deadly game then you want to hide who the female is and not listen to this Sesshomaru!' he growled in a low voice at his beast. The beast did nothing but whimper. 'And for that she shall be the one to pay the price due to your stupid actions! So I will hear no more talk! I shall find her on my own since you will not tell me and kill her!'

'Master please! Do not kill her she-' But before he could finish, Sesshomaru cut off all connection, for the time being, with his beast.

What a fool his beast had been! Look at the mess he had left for him!

Still growling he walked to the door lifted the barrier and opened it. The guards on duty stayed at their posts as instructed.

Walking in front of them he said, "My Mating coat is gone. I want every western solider out looking for the demoness that has it. Once she is found bring her here immediately."

The guards nodded and went off to spread the word. They had better find that coat or they would pay with their life.

-MATING COATS ARE GIVEN TO A FEMALE (BY LORDS AND ANY OTHER DEMONS OF HIGH STATUS) OF THE MALE DEMONS CHOICE TO BECOME THEIR "LADY". IF OTHER FEMALES WANT TO FIGHT FOR THEIR RIGHT AS LADY, THE FEMALE HOLDER OF THE COAT MUST FIGHT OR SHE WILL BE KILLED. THE BATTLES WILL GO ON UNTIL THE SEASON OF MATING IS OVER AND WHO EVER THE STRONGEST FEMALE IS, HOLDING THE COAT AT THE END OF THE MATING GAMES, THAT IS WHOM THE LORD MUST MATE. -
