He Shall be Mine, Sister
An Inuyasha Fanfiction written by- RoyalJester
Disclaimer- I do NOT own Inuyasha.
A/N- Howdy!! Lol. I wrote an EXTREMELY happy ending. I read it over and guess what I did?? I highlighted all of it...and pressed the beautiful button 'backspace' I won't let our lovebirds off so quickly!! Muwhahaha!!
Also, prepare yourself for TONS of dialogue!! Oh how I HATE dialogue....grrrrrr.
ALSO!! Wow. Go you Arwen Dark Sorceress Of Fate!! I know Kagome shouldn't wear the shiro-maku because she DID sleep with Sesshomaru and with her walking 'seductively' I hope everyone caught on that she has had experience with others. She doesn't deserve to wear a shiro-maku but she is a lady and should have saved herself for her hubby. Good job!! You get a cookie for catching that!! (hands out a cookie to Arwen Dark Sorceress Of Fate)
Everyone stared up at the fuming priestess whose chocolate eyes flashed dangerously. She began to saunter down the staircases but for some reason, the two figures getting wed didn't look her way. They remained staring at one another as everyone else stared at her and could hear the priestess as she let out a call. Her eyes widened once again as she stepped onto the stage and stood in front of Sesshomaru who didn't seem to notice her.
Kikyou didn't understand. Why is it Sesshomaru could not see her, feel her, hear her?
She placed a hand onto his cheek as her hand passed through him, like she was a ghost. She then turned around as she stared at Kagome who seemed to notice her but tried not to show it. Kikyou stepped off of the stage as she stared at Sesshomaru who had a look of pain in his golden eyes as they began to fill with tears. The time when they said 'I do' finally came. He hesitated as he glanced around the room. He paused as he tried to find her...to tell everyone the wedding ceremony was off.
She shook her head in aggravation. Tsubaki cast a final curse upon her...she was invisible to her love. Sesshomaru lowered his head as he whispered her name and said clearly. "I do" her heart broke as she fell down onto her knees and put her face into her hands as she began to cry. Suddenly, a voice called out.
"Kikyou..." Kikyou shot up as she met golden eyes with hers. He took a step forward as his eyes were glossy. She had appeared out of nowhere. But it was too late...he had just married Kagome. A figure rose as her stern sapphire eyes glared at the figure on the ground.
"Guards! Send Kikyou to the dungeons at once!" Ismae shouted as Kikyou met her love's gaze. They were so close...rough hands grabbed onto her shoulders as she was pulled back and hauled away.
-----
She put her head to her leg as she sat in the bitter dungeon as a torch flickered. She stared up at the window that wasn't within her grasp as it held steel bars. She wanted to cry. She never wanted to move again. Sesshomaru was now Kagome's. And her mother sent her to the dungeons for who knows how long. She breathed in deeply when she suddenly heard a steel door slam against the wall as clicking was heard as tatami's were slammed against the ground.She glanced up at the gate as a figure stood, holding a smile on her face.
"It's so wonderful to see you once again..." a malicious voice said as Kikyou instantly recognized it as her mothers. She wouldn't show weakness to a witch like that. "What's the matter? You don't wish to speak to the woman who gave life to you? A life in which I am allowed to take back?" Kikyou rose her head, meeting her gaze.
"When I am free...I will speak to you in a way that you would wish you were ridden of this world." Kikyou answered as Ismae growled and left in an instant. Kikyou smirked slightly as she stared outside. When she was free...
-----
Sesshomaru paced around his room. He had to free her. He was now higher in position then Kagome now that he married her and could rule the castle. Even if he couldn't have Kikyou, it was only right to let her free. She didn't deserve this. He sighed as he remembered her sadden look as she sat on the ground before him, just when he had said 'I do.' Why is it he couldn't sense her? Was he so feeble from love that he had easily fallen into the curse? He would divorce Kagome in an instant just to see Kikyou, he would give his life to hold her once again.His thoughts were interrupted when a gentle knock echoed through his room. He let out a growl as a figure walked in. It was Kagome as she held a look of desire in her eyes as she smiled seductively.
"Come now lover." She whispered as she walked towards him. Sesshomaru shook his head as he turned his back to her staring outside. He could sense Kikyou. How he sought to be near her. He suddenly felt his spouse coming closer.
"Remove yourself from this room. I wedded you and am now in a superior position then you. Do away with yourself this instant or I will take action." He said sternly as Kagome took a step back and blinked. She left in an instant as she closed the door behind her. He still yearned for Kikyou even though they were now married. Even though he could now do anything to her without restraint, and yet...he wanted Kikyou. She growled as she entered her room in fury as she slammed her door shut.
-----
A noise woke her as she sat up and called out into the pure darkness."Whose there?" Kikyou said when a warm voice said for her to stand back. Kikyou did as requested as she sat away from the window when suddenly they were melted. Kikyou stared at it as a hand reached down, Kikyou stared at it in confusion as she heard the door open. She instantly grabbed the hand as she was pulled up. She met black eyes with hers as she smiled gently.
"Aikiri." She whispered as she nodded and beckoned her onward in which they left into the forest where their cave was to be found.
Sesshomaru walked down into the dungeons to set her free. But when he glanced around the space, no one was there. He glanced up at the window, as the bars were no longer there. His head lowered.
So much pain she had caused him. So many aches he had caused her. But still their hearts yearned for one another. He shook his head. What was he to do? What is it she wanted him to do? Why did his heart love someone so complex as this?
He sat down on the steel ground as he glanced along. She slept here, the smell of salt reeked in this small room as water dripped from the ceiling. He closed his eyes as he leaned against the bar, breathing in her scent as he slowly fell asleep.
"Is that so?" Aikiri asked as she listened to Kikyou who spoke her heart out about what Tsubaki had shown her yesterday. Aikiri rose as she crossed her arms and turned away, the children glancing at her. "Ismae...did that?" Kikyou nodded as Aikiri put her head down. She then turned around - she flashed a smile. "Well, we shan't let her get away with this now can we? There is a ball-taking place tonight to honor the new rulers of the land. You and I will be making an appearance." She said as she kneeled near Kikyou who listened carefully.
That night the palace was covered with flora and filled with laughter as music filled their ears and guests covered the dance floor. Kagome and Sesshomaru sat on their thrones as they watched everyone enjoying him or herself when the doors slammed open to reveal a figure in a black robe.
The melody stopped in an instant as everyone turned their gaze to the figure who began to slowly walk down the stairs. Kagome rose in an instant.
"Guards! Send Kikyou back to the dungeons and have her chained!" Kagome shouted as laughter filled the room. The figure in the black cloak removed the hood as everyone began muttering excitedly.
"Now Lady Kagome. Do you honestly wish to disappoint your guests from their entertainment?" Kagome's eyes widened at Aikiri as clapping filled the room; Kagome sat back down as she turned her gaze to Sesshomaru who watched the priestess carefully.
Aikiri stood onto the platform as everyone watched her and gathered around. She smiled at Ismae and Kagome who looked at one another in worry. Aikiri flicked her hand out as green smoke shot out at the crowd who burst into giggles.
"Now, this tale is fresh and bold. You have never heard a fresh legend such as this. In a realm there ruled the lady and the lord of the land. The lady of the land wished to take the crown and rule the kingdom so everyone would know her name. When it reached her daughters 15th birthdays, the lord had decided. The eldest twin would get the land. The lady was angered as she searched out a dark priestess." Aikiri shot her hand out again as smoke filled the room and created pictures of the dark priestess whose voice reached their ears.
"Have the lord drink this...this will make him the target for my curse...in which he will do your every commands."
Aikiri's voice entered their ears again.
"The lady of the land cursed the lord into giving the crown to the weaker of the twins, so she could control her as well. But then, when the eldest twin heard that her father was cursed, the lady of the land killed the lord." She flicked her hand up again as a familiar figure met their gaze and there was Ismae smothering the lord as she smiled. Her voice echoed along the room.
"Good bye my dearest." The figure vanished as the guests looked at one another in confusion, but they were silent as the priestesses voice spoke again.
"The lady sent the true heir away where she was sent to a village. The guards, who were sent to slay her, killed instead, a villager. The lady was angered and wanted the true heir slain so she sent them out again." A figure of guards appeared. "But little did she know that the true heir was in protection. The true heir had escaped where the lady thought she was dead. But she is not. The dark priestess comes once again saying she lives and makes a deal with the lady." More smoke as it shows Tsubaki as her shikigami hissed out into the crowd.
"I would need blood of this Kikyou. Do you know how I can obtain it?" the smoke Tsubaki said.
"Tsubaki cursed Kikyou! She cursed her so Kikyou could not come to the palace and gain her rightful crown and marry her love." More smoke showed as it showed Sesshomaru and Kikyou embracing one another. Aikiri's angered voice echoed through the entire room.
"Kagome married Sesshomaru knowing Kikyou was the true heir! Knowing Sesshomaru and her were in love! Kikyou is the true heir, and she has come to gain her rightful spot!" Aikiri shouted as the doors slam open and in walks Kikyou. Her brown eyes full of hatred and despair as she met her gaze with Ismae, whose face was pale and full of fright.
The guests looked at one another as they glanced at Kikyou and slowly began to bow. Kagome rose in anger as she began to shake.
"What is this? I am the ruler of this land! Not Kikyou!" Kagome shouted as she glanced around the ballroom, everyone bowed for Kikyou as she slowly began to walk down the stairs.
"Okaa-san." She said as her voice echoed. Ismae glanced around her in worry as everyone held a look of confusion on his or her faces. Ismae met her daughter's angry gaze.
"Now...Okaa-san, would you care to explain yourself?" Kikyou said, fury in her voice as Ismae took a step back, everything was silent as her sapphire eye widened in shock.
"Explain myself in what matter my dear?" she said as Kikyou let out a harsh laugh as her eyes flashed once again. She stepped onto the flat surface as she glanced around at the visitors who stared at her.
"Explain why you had Tsubaki, the dark priestess place a curse on father...to get him to give the crown to Kagome..." Ismae shook her head in fear as she took a step back. "Oh? Then tell me why you told the villagers I practiced dark magic.... I know the truth...your alliance with the dark priestess was instantly shattered." Kikyou spoke, everyone shuffled at her stern gaze and harsh words. Ismae closed her eyes as her jaw clenched. Her blue eyes shot open as her ki flared.
"Because you are nothing but a wench! You...you were going to steal the crown from me! I had wedded that fool so I could obtain it! So I could for once be recognized for my beauty. But no...that fool kept me in the shadows. And when I gave birth I would have thought I'd gain his trust. But no. He wanted you to take the crown. You to rule the land. You who couldn't find a husband, you who has no charms or looks. He wanted you! I had tried to kill you...but you escaped! I had a priestess place a curse on you but you broke it! How am I to rid you from this world!" She screamed as Sesshomaru stared at her, then at Kagome who looked shocked.
"Silence!" Kagome shouted as she walked over to Ismae and slapped her hard as the lady grasped her cheek, her anger flared.
"You...all you had to do was get him to fall in love with you! And you didn't even do that! I offered to help, offered to have a curse placed on him. But no...you thought he was in your grasp but he chose that wench!" Ismae shouted pointing at Kikyou who remained emotionless. Kagome slapped Ismae harder as she fell onto the ground, Kagome got onto her knees as she pulled at Kikyou's blood-red hakamas.
"Sister Kikyou. Do not believe a word she speaks! Our mother is ill. I did not try to take him away from you sister. You must understand. I did not realize what was happening." Kagome said, her voice weak as her eyes watered up. Kikyou glanced down at her in disgust as she pushed her off, Kagome growled as she rose.
"I do not wish for filth like yourself to touch me." Kikyou said as Sesshomaru took a step forward. Kikyou glanced at him. Kagome growled as she screamed.
"I am still the ruler of this land! Guards!" She screamed as they stared at one another. What were they to do? Kagome had received the crown because the lord was cursed? Ismae placed it on him and...murdered the lord! The guards growled as they grabbed Ismae who was dragged away screaming and kicking her legs out. Kagome took a step forward.
"Take Kikyou to the dungeons! I want her slain!" She shouted as Kikyou took a step forward, her voice venomous.
"Sister. I take pity upon you and your weak mind. But, father did give me the crown..." Kikyou said as she rose, she stood onto the stage as she stared around the crowd of people who were in shock at what just happened. Her cold brown eyes flashed in anger.
"Guards! Place my...dearest sister in the cell with my mother until I have thought of a proper punishment for the death and assassination attempt upon my father and I." The guards nodded as they quickly grabbed Kagome who fell to the ground, placing her forehead onto the marble ground.
"Sister forgive me! I only wanted love. I grew jealous of you as I saw Sesshomaru yearn for you and not I! Sister, please. Forgive your pitiful sister!" Kagome screamed as tears rolled down her cheeks. Kikyou stared at her as she shook her head and beckoned the guards onward as they dragged the crying ex-ruler out. Everyone stared at Kikyou, the true lady of the land. Aikiri smiled as she walked up onto the stage, everyone bowed once again.
----
Aikiri smiled at Kikyou as she stood next to her. The true heir kneeled down as Aikiri grabbed a pebble and threw it up in the air as it froze. Suddenly a crown was created as Aikiri smiled and grabbed it gently as she placed it on Kikyou's head."The true heir has returned." She said as the villagers and guests rose and cheered. Kikyou smiled as she rose and hugged Aikiri.
A figure coughed behind her as she turned around to meet golden eyes with hers as her heart began to beat quicker, she turned her gaze elsewhere as Sesshomaru put his hand under her chin as she lifted up her head. Her eyes were full of pain and hurt as she closed them.
"You get this land Sesshomaru. You are higher then I in rank since you are the lord. I give you this kingdom, for I will go elsewhere to rule the other half." She said as Aikiri stared at her in shock. Sesshomaru stared at her in hurt as he got onto one knee and held onto her hand.
"Marry me Kikyou." He asked as everyone watched in hope. Kikyou closed her eyes as she shook her head and pulled away. His eyes filled with pain.
"Take care of my land...Sesshomaru-sama." Kikyou bowed in the slightest as she hurriedly took off. Sesshomaru wanted to yell at her, tell her they were meant to be together. But she had to clear her thoughts before she announced her love. He rose as he once again sat on the throne and beckoned everyone to leave, which they did.
Aikiri began to slowly walk down the stage as she gave one final performance. She threw the smoke into the air as it slowly showed Kikyou who sat onto the ground and her raven hair spilled over her shoulders.
"Watashi ka hare ni koishiteru." (I love him deeply) she whispered. Aikiri smiled at Sesshomaru who stared at the smoke.
"She will return to you Lord Sesshomaru. Give her time." She said as she left the castle. Sesshomaru nodded as he stared at his new home. A residence Kikyou didn't live in at the moment.
It had been two days Kikyou had been missing. Two days in which Sesshomaru had ruled on his own. Two days in which Aikiri had been searching. Now it was dark as rain began to pound against the ground. All of a sudden, a figure appeared into the cave as the children slept soundly. Aikiri rose in anger as Kikyou leaned against the wall, opposite of Aikiri.
"You are a fool." Aikiri whispered as that caused Kikyou's eyes to widen in the slightest. "Why did you not accept his proposal? You love him my dear." She said as Kikyou turned her head away. She wanted to scream yes, she wanted to be with him forever, but could she allow herself to be with him without regrets? Not thinking that he deserves better?
"He is married to my sister, and I am divorced. I had already committed an unspoken rule by ending the marriage. I cannot break another." Aikiri sighed as she put her hand onto her apprentice's shoulders.
"He divorced her and you have never followed the book, so why start now?" Kikyou glanced at her as their eyes met. Hai, she had never followed rules, she had never acted like a proper lady, so why was she hurting the man that she loved? She had seen the worst pictures, she had seen the death of her father, and she had faced betrayal and heartache. So why live in the past? Why not move onward and be with the man that she loved?
She was now able to live in peace - everything was settled. Ismae and Kagome were now gone from the throne. Now she was able to rule...but instead gave it to Sesshomaru. She turned her head as she watched the rainfall. A tear streaked down her face as she nodded at Aikiri who hugged her strongly.
"I shall see you when your first child is born." Kikyou smiled at her as she left in a sprint towards the palace as the rain stung her delicate skin, but that didn't matter...she was going to see her love.
Sesshomaru stood on the balcony as he watched the rain strike the land. He could sense her she was coming this way. On instincts he jumped off the balcony as he landed elegantly onto the ground as he began walking towards her blazing aura as the rain soaked him.
He would wait for an entire lifetime for her. She had seen so much pain and torture, been through family betrayal, it would even take him some time to get over this, even if his heart was yelling for him to go to her. But maybe they could go through this together.
Suddenly, he saw a figure approach as she screamed out his name, he jumped closer as he now stood a few feet away, her face dripping as she slowly walked over to him.
"I love you Sesshomaru. I love you with all my heart and soul but I cannot be with you. I do not deserve that...I have caused you such treachery." Sesshomaru lifted her head up as he gazed into her deep brown eyes as tears streamed down her face.
"Stop acting this way and accept it." He said sternly. "You deserve everything in this world. You have gone through so much, how could you even think of me before yourself? I will wait forever for you to come to me..." Kikyou shook her head. She needed him...
She wrapped her arms around him tightly as he ran his hand through her raven hair.
"I need you, I love you Sesshomaru..." She whispered as he smiled and kissed the top of her head as he whispered sweetly into her ear.
She pulled back as she smiled weakly and nodded her head. He smiled as he took the ring from his pocket as he slipped it onto her finger as he tugged at her hair soothingly and kissed her compassionately. She wrapped her arms around him, never wanting to leave.
"Anata wo aishiteru." (I am deeply in love with you.) Sesshomaru whispered as he held her in the rain that fell over them both. The rain being a reminder of their love blooming.
The sun rose as Sesshomaru sat on his new throne as he beckoned the guards to bring in Ismae and Kagome for their punishments. The guards immediately followed orders as they dragged in the two women who sat onto the floor before the lord. He glared at them both as his voice caused them to flinch.
"Your punishments will be severe. But I do not have a right to punish you for this matter." He said as they looked up at him in hope. "Instead, I will allow, my fiancée to make sure you are punished according to the crimes." He said richly and full of care as Kagome and Ismae looked at one another. His fiancée?
The doors opened as in walked Kikyou; her raven hair now shined as it was in its usual tarashigami as she wore her usual miko's outfit. She had a smile on her face as she met Sesshomaru's loving gaze. Kagome glared at her cruelly. Kikyou had won. And now Kikyou held a crown on her head as a crimson jewel hung from the crown and laid on her forehead.
Kikyou walked up onto the stage as she looked down upon Kagome and Ismae as Sesshomaru stood next to her.
"For the murder of father and your husband, Ismae, I give you the harshest punishment I could give you. After all, you did give birth to me so I will repay you with life. But I never wish to see your face again, never speak to others saying you are my mother because I have none. I rip you from your royalty title Ismae, and I send you to the east lands where you will be lower then a servant but treated fairly. You will work everyday from dusk till dawn and if I receive word from the lord that you have not been, I will send you away from this land." Ismae nodded as she lowered her head to the ground as she held onto a filthy kimono. Kikyou's gaze then turned to Kagome.
"As for you my dearest sister. I rip you from the royalty title and because I have pity upon you and your wishing for love...I send you to Inuyasha's castle where you will be a personal slave and maid to his mate, Usui. Sesshomaru still rules that lands meaning we are able to come at any time to see to it you are working. And because of your betrayal because of love...you are not allowed to marry." Kikyou said sternly as Kagome nodded. Kikyou beckoned them off when a figure caught her eye. "Etsuko...I have heard that you were in this as well? Then, you will go with Kagome, I have no use of you." Etsuko's eyes widened as she was taken away as well.
Kikyou sat onto her thrown as Sesshomaru sat as well; he put his hand on top of hers as she smiled at him gently.
"Are you certain you were wise to not give them a harsher punishment?" Kikyou sighed.
"I couldn't, they are after all, my blood, and blood runs thicker then what I thought." She answered as Sesshomaru nodded and brought her hand up as he kissed it gently she smiled at him, as her eyes were bright and full of love as he played with the ring placed on her finger. She smiled as she closed her eyes and rested her head gently on his shoulder, the shoulder of the lord who stole her heart and showed her to love just as she had done for him.
---
Aikiri smiled as she felt her apprentices aura spark with glee, she was finally happy and would be able to spend the rest of her life in that demons arms, the demon she loved with all her heart. Aikiri smiled at the children as they followed her.
"What about mommy?" Rika asked, as her eyes were wide and inquisitive. Aikiri smiled at her.
"We will see her one day. Now come, we have some wandering to do." She said as she placed Rika onto the steed as she pulled the rings and they walked out of the forest, out of this land.
