Chapter 5: You want me to do what?


A dog demon with a mane full of flowing white hair approached her. The female seemed to glide along the room until she came to a stop only feet away from Kagome. "If someone like you could keep him company he would not be sad."

Kagome watched as the demon smile sweetly at her. "Why is he sad?"

"He has lost his ward and retainer. They died and ever since he will not leave the castle to protect the lands. A witch came to curse him shortly after. If he does not find love his castle will become ice." The woman did not change her tone of voice, it was barely above a whisper. That voice reminded her of how harsh the wind could be when she was stuck out in it. The wind had whispered to her for days. She grew weary of that sound. Kagome longed for the woman to speak up.

"How can I help?" Kagome didn't know if she would be next to die. She still could be chased out of the castle to spend the rest of her life in the snow.

The female demon pointed to a picture of Sesshomaru. "We wish for you to mate with him."

With those words, Kagome fainted.

As she lay still on the ground, a servant of the castle let her sleep on a long couch until she awoke with a start. Her body jumped up on it's own. "Where am I?"

The guard that had been watching over her told her to please be quite in the castle. If she were to make too much noise it would upset the Lord of the Castle: The Lord of the West.

"I am sorry what did that lady say I am to do here?" Kagome thought all of this was a dream. She must be out on the snow dying.

"To mate with our Lord, of course." The guard said, matter-of-factually.

Kagome only nodded than proceeded to faint, again.
