I do not own the characters of Inuyasha.
Next chapter!
There are worse games to play.
One week later...
"Here you go." Kagome said as she handed a human a newly forged sword and a sheath that she crafted.
She has coal smudges on her face and clothes.
The human bowed his head to her slightly after he handed her the money.
"Thank you miss." The human said as he turned and walked out.
When the human man walked out, Kain walked in.
"Father." Kagome greeted as she crossed her arms in front of her chest.
Kain chuckled. "I see you gave the costumer his sword. While I was away." He said.
"You failed to tell me it was Lord Sesshomaru! I mistakened him for that idiot Inuyasha! I didn't even use honorifics!" Kagome said.
Kain chuckled.
"Well, I'm very lucky you are alive and here to greet me at Lord Sesshomaru's mercy! But I will say between you and I that I favor Lord Sesshomaru over Lord Inuyasha." Kain said the beginning part in a sarcastic tone.
Kagome giggled as she took off her leather gloves.
"I favor him as well." Kagome said as she hugged her father and then stepped back.
"How was your trip?" Kagome asked Kain.
"Your friend misses you dearly. In about half a moon I will send you there for a list once again." Kain said.
"Alright father, I can't wait to go but I believe I need to bathe. I will return." Kagome said as she walked out the shop and towards their hut.
She went into her room and gathered her clothes. Luckily all the siblings have separate rooms. She went to the stream quickly after gathering her clothes.
One hour later...
Kagome walked back to the to hut after bathing and washing her clothes that she had just wore. She planned on hanging them to dry at the hut while she went back to the shop.
She has on black Hakama pants and a black wrap long sleeve shirt. Her waist length black hair is in a low ponytail.
When she made it back in there she was greeted with Kain and Lord Sesshomaru talking.
She stopped at the entrance.
"Ah Kagome! Lord Sesshomaru is in need of another sword. But there is a catch, he doesn't want me to forge it." Kain said giddily.
Kagome seemed confused.
"Then I will go get Souta." She said as she turned to walk out of the shop. Souta is five years younger than her. She is eighteen and Kikyo nineteen.
"Actually, he wants you to forge it. I will leave to let you all discuss what the order will be. Excuse me Milord." Kain said as he bowed and walked out.
Kagome and Sesshomaru were left alone in the shop. She turned to face Sesshomaru.
She looked at Sesshomaru in his eyes.
"Forgive me milord I don't seem to understand. I am a female. Why would you want me to forge you a sword?" She asked.
Sesshomaru looked at the female towards the entrance of the shop. He was trying to determine how to answer.
"The sword you were crafting when I departed last seemed of good quality. Do you forge demonic swords as well as mortal swords?" He asked.
"I do mainly demonic swords. We have very few human costumers. Not many humans associate themselves with demons." Kagome said.
"Hn, forge me a sword then. I would like to see how well you do when I return." Sesshomaru said.
"Forgive me milord, but if you wish to have a sword like how you speak of I will need a fang and a handle style from you." Kagome said. Of course that was aside from pay. Demonic swords costed about twice as much as mortal swords.
"Very well." He said as he gave her one of his fangs. He told her that he wanted a black handle.
Kain walked in soon after.
"Milord! It is a great honor that you have chosen my Kagone to make your sword." Kain said in excitement.
"I find it interesting that a female could be a blacksmith. I merely wished to test her abilities out of curiosity. I also need to have a second choice should I require another weapon if your gone." Sesshomaru said.
Kain nodded.
Souta walked in and bowed to Sesshomaru and looked to his sister and then to Kain.
"Father, I saw mother and Kikyo on their way here." Souta said.
Kain let out a sigh as he looked to Sesshomaru.
"I apologize in advance for my mate and eldest daughter. They are-" Kain was interrupted by Hitomi and Kikyo walking in.
"Ah, Lord Sesshomaru, it's such an honor to see you in my mates shop. I assume my mate is to make you a sword?" Hitomi asked as her and Kikyo has already bowed to him.
Sesshomaru turned to face the two females.
He was not pleased with them. They should not be mikos. He could tell they are both whores. He could smell many others on them. He wondered if Kain knew.
It is very likely.
"Actually, I was discussing with your mate and daughter about how I will require her to forge me a sword." Sesshomaru said.
Both Hitomi and Kikyo noticeably glared at Kagome.
Sesshomaru wanted to glare at the wenches.
Hitomi looked back at Sesshomaru as she smiled.
"Well that is good. It's good we can finally make the girl useful. Now, haven't you heard that your brother and my eldest are courting?" Hitomi said properly.
Sesshomaru already hated the woman. The wench reminded him of his mother. That bitch. The idea of Kain's mate talking as if the female blacksmith was trash also bothered him slightly. Then she called the half breed his brother. That crossed the line.
Sesshomaru held in a growl as he spoke.
"I have never considered that half breed to be my brother." Sesshomaru said bitterly.
Hitomi smiled.
"Forgive me milord. It is exciting that we will be pack soon. Say, do you plan to mate?" Hitomi asked.
Hiromi and Kikyo's arousal was thick in the air. They obviously wanted Lord Sesshomaru. He was sure everyone else smelled it. It made him want to gag.
Kagome in a way wanted his answer but knew it didn't matter. Her heart sunk when she heard it.
"No, I have no need for such a weakness." Sesshomaru said.
Hitomi nodded.
"I don't blame you. The strong do not need the weak." Hitomi said.
Kain had enough. Why did he mate such an unfaithful onna?
"Excuse me. I just remembered something that needs my immediate attention. Thank you Lord Sesshomaru for coming to us for your required sword." Kain said as he turned and walked out of the shop. He did not bow to Sesshomaru.
He didn't mind.
Souta bowed to Sesshomaru and left with his father without a word.
Kagome could tell he was tired of their mother's whorish activities.
Kagome watched her father leave and turned back to her mother with a glare.
"Forgive me mother, but your wrong." Kagome said.
Sesshomaru now watched as Hitomi glared at Kagome. He continued to face Hitomi and Kikyo as Kagome was about to speak.
"How so daughter?" Hitomi asked bitterly.
"The strong do need the weak. Just as the weak need the strong. Lord Sesshomaru knows this. His people look up to him and his father to serve and protect them and the lands. Lord Sesshomaru and his father look to the lands and people to have someone to serve and protect. Without the people Lord Sesshomaru would have none to rule over and without the royals There will be madness." Kagome said.
In a way, Sesshomaru had never thought of it like that. But it is an excellent way to put it.
Hitomi looked at Kagome with a glare.
"You have always been too kind hearted. Saying what you have said has embarrassed us! I will not have you making us look weak because of your weakness!" Hitomi yelled.
Sesshomaru looked at the two mikos in front of him.
"Enough, any further words from you two and you will have ruined my visit. I am here to get a sword. Nothing more." Sesshomaru paused as he turned back to Kagome.
"I expect my sword done by the end of the week." Sesshomaru stated as he turned and walked out.
Kagome was left alone with her angry sister and her angry mother.
"You bitch!"
