A/N- -, I am an idiot just so you all know this. Lol! I posted the wrong chapter to this story...that was one of my 'dumb' first chapters...this is the real first chapter...I apologize to those who were affected and...I love you all and those who are returning reviewers to my story. -
Unlike my other Sess/Kik stories, this will mainly feature Sesshomaru. This chapter will give the history of the coins and such.
Look at bottom of story for information on the main characters. And forget EVERYTHING about the chapter that I posted before this. Thank you.
Summary- The Lands are at war. The West Lord is worried. He calls upon the assistance of a priestess, but discovers that could have been the worst decision he had ever made as he learns, he must share his throne. Pairings- Sesshomaru/Kikyou.
----
In a land where demons ran free slaughtering humans in sight, a powerful priestess came through the land, as she was saddened. She didn't wish for blood to taint this holy land, nor did she wish to hear the screams of victims that she couldn't see. With all her power she had decided to duplicate a coin, generating her power into them. A simple coin that she had found would rank humans and demons, only the most powerful received one of the four coins. They would give the ones who received it the honor of ruling over the land, and it was split evenly, two for demons, and two for humans. Maybe then the rulers will be able to reduce this bloodshed.
Easily, the demons conquered the humans for the royalty spot as the humans were sent to construct villages and be ruled beneath demons. But as time went on, demons were being slain by the thousands as the two weaker rulers lost their realm in an instant. Now the ranks were even once again, waiting for another war to break out to see who would be the ruler of the land until they were overruled. But amidst of all this war, the two demon lords began getting greedy. They wanted more land; they each wanted the control over the four coins giving them all the land.
One year when a ruler of the humans had gained all four of the coins, an effect took place that instantly killed all the demons in that region. A powerful draft had swept the land missing the humans and causing instant diminishing of fiends. How had this occurred? It wasn't long to figure out that these four coins together, would give anyone one wish. Now it was a challenge to see who would get the four coins and wish for the ultimate wish, ruling all the lands, killing their main threats.
The priestess was distraught. She had not thought that the owners of the land would become so gluttonous. But she would allow them to solve this, this wasn't her decision. But then, Inutaishou, a great dog-lord demon was slain for seducing a human, and giving birth to a hanyou. She was instantly disgusted about what she had heard as she learned that the eldest son, Sesshomaru, would now take over the West lands. He had slain his father and slaughtered any human near or in his land. She had the perfect plan to solve this ruling war. To solve his hatred of humans.
She would make sure a human would rule alongside the lord of the west lands. She would need to wait to find the perfect match, but alas, she would find someone would was able to match Lord Sesshomaru's cold temper and challenge him. There was nothing that this new lord could do either; he had to allow the human beside him to rule, because she possessed the second coin of the West lands. The only way for Sesshomaru to lose his royalty title, is for him to die. But she knew this demon, too stubborn and too powerful to fail.
She would make sure that this demon paid for his actions in murdering his father and get over his hatred of ningens.

The great priestess walked through the land with a dark robe covering her body. Mist departed and was pushed away as she walked through the dark forest and came to stand at the entrance of the West Lands castle. She didn't need to knock; she knew the demon realized a human was in the presence of the great lands. She rose her head as she heard the door creak open, she met golden eyes to hers as a silver figure walked down the halls towards her.
"Human." The Lord of the West lands said as he now stood in front of her. "What do you want?"
The priestess smiled.
"Give me the coin you possess Lord Sesshomaru. I wish to see it." She watched as the demon stared at her, almost in humor as she wished for the coin. Did she actually believe he would give it to her? The priestess smiled as she nodded her head and whispered gibberish. Out of no where, a coin had appeared on the palm of her hand as the demon watched in mild interest. The priestess stroked the coin carefully as it suddenly glowed and became into two.
"Priestess, what is the meaning of this?" He asked sternly at his time being wasted by simple magic.
"I am Priestess Atsue and you Lord Sesshomaru, shall pay. You remain ruling this land, but later, you shall receive help. A human, Sesshomaru, shall rule beside you. She will be of royalty and shall be powerful; you will not be able to lay a hand on her. And in the process...you will find that you have desires, just like your father."
Sesshomaru just listened as he found this somewhat humoring.
"You priestess, how should I know that you are the true Atsue? The words you speak are foolish and unwise if you believe I will yearn for humans just like my father." He stopped as he swiftly grabbed his coin. He turned around as the doors suddenly slammed shut.
The priestess Atsue smiled as she pulled down her hood and her blank, white eyes shined in the night. This human will have to be wise just as he, and soon, she will enter this world and Atsue must wait until this person has finally arrived. She turned around and felt the auras of demons spike as she suddenly vanished in the night.

The great lord Sesshomaru held the two coins that were identical. In his palm he stared at the details and designs that matched one another. If that priestess was so wise, why had she told him? Heh. That priestess was just a foolish woman. She could not be the great Atsue. She could not be the human who had created these coins.
Sesshomaru suddenly watched as one of the identical coins seemed to vanish in his hand; he clenched his fist shut not feeling a thing as his head shot up and stared at a portrait of his father. He instantly burned. Ningens disgusted him, the smell, the look, the way they moved. Everything was pathetic in their world and now he would have to share a throne in his kingdom with a human? He smirked. No, that wouldn't happen. He would make sure that never occurred. No matter what he had to do.
But what he had to worry about for now, was him defending his throne. Every fifty years, a war breaks out between demons and humans to see who would rule the land. And those rulers would try to obtain the four, now five, coins to rule the land and would have to search for this other coin that seemed to vanish. They would need the five coins now to have a wish granted. That is what he has to do. But he had an upper hand, no one else knew of this fifth coin, that now belonged to a ningen.
