Mate
"If someone like you could keep him company he would not be sad any longer." A tall demon woman with long white hair stared away from her. The demon's face did not turn in Kagome's direction.
"Why is he sad?" Kagome fallowed the female as she moved gracefully down a long hallway.
"He has lost his ward and retainer. They died and ever sense 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 female stopped only to observe an open room. Then, the woman closed the door.
Kagome watched as the woman closed the door. She wondered what was in the room but it could have just been a room. Maybe, the doors where suppose to be locked. "Love. How can I help?"
A male dog demon walked up behind her. "We wish for you to mate with him."
Kagome jumped. That demon came from somewhere unknown. "That is extreme. Can't you find someone to mate with him?"
"He has rejected everyone else." The female refused to turn around. The lord had not only refused the others ... he had killed them.
They had been having problems with other lords wanting to go to war over the deaths. However, the weather kept everyone away. Now, every demon near the western land wanted to not freeze to death. They would do anything to stop the cold from making their families into a block of ice.
"Lord Sesshomaru is not getting better. You have to help us." The other demons knew of what was wrong with the lord.
"I know him. How am I to mate with him?" She was concerned but hoped they would find a way to help everyone in the castle. If mating with the lord would help everyone not freeze to death, she would at least try to help.
"Does he hate you?" The female whispered. Her voice was low but Kagome could make out the sentence.
Kagome had no idea what went on in Inuyasha's brother's head. "No. I travel with his brother."
"Then, we will teach you how to be a lady. Come with us."
Kagome fallowed them. It was beyond cold outside. There had been no hope in saving her friends. She needed to save them. This could be the only way to help.
