Chapter 3: Burn it down

Sesshomaru groaned quietly as he opened his eyes. His eyes struggled to focus as a white ceiling came into his few. He titled his head as his joints, limbs and fingers slowly flexed and came to life. His head pounded in protest as he fluttered his eyes, and rolled his head. He struggled to move his body, and hissed as his muscles protested while he swung his legs across the edge of the bed. He looked around the room, and took in his surroundings slowly. A large mirror hung freely beside a dark coloured dresser littered with Jewelry, paper and miscellaneous items he couldn't make out. His gaze fell upon the laundry basket in the corner, overflowing with clothing and the odd coloured backpack in the wiggled his toes as his feet flexed against the wooden floor; the floor creaked under him as he tested his weight. He sat in his slacks, and white shirt top; he stretched his shoulders and rolled his neck as his ears strained to hear the voices coming from beyond the door.

"He's a demon Kagome" a hushed voice said

"I know Eri"

"He's dangerous"

"You don't know that"

He raised his eyebrow, and rose to his feet before he peered into the mirror. He grimaced at the state of his normally pristine hair; the disheveled and untidy mess irked him. He racked his claws through his hair in an attempt to better himself, black marks of dirt caked his skin married the black ink that wrapped around his body, etched into his skin stood stark against his pale skin. The tattoos began to dance along his skin as his chakra hummed them back to life. He sighed, as his claw cracked as he flexed his fingers; he cautiously moved towards the door as he listened for the voices. A sweet scent accosted him as he stood in front of the door; the smell of ebbed from the other side of the door. It was floral, and with a certain edge; a spice that he couldn't quiet put his finger on.

His claws circled the door knob, as he pulled back his demonic energy and chakra; the tattoos slowly disappeared from his body. He opened the door revealing a small yet tidy living room with two human women arguing; they looked at the intruder and in turn he looked at them stoically. He towered over the two women, and his broad frame stuck out in the small apartment. The short haired women stood in front of him shocked, as she moved to cower behind the curvy raven haired women, he stared into her hypnotic oceanic eyes, her plump pink lips tugged into a soft smile.

Her cheeks dusted, as her face heated; he watched her eyes drag down his broad physically fit body. She pulled her bottom lip between her teeth and tugged at the plush appendage. She wore a simple t-shirt that hugged her frame, her breasts stood high and perky, slightly jiggling as she moved nervously. Her creamy skin peeked through her biker shorts; her curves on display as the fabric hugged her frame

She approached him slowly, as he stood still with his arms crossed in front of his chest.

"Oh you're awake?" the blue eyed woman asked carefully

"Great! Now we have awake demon in our fucking living room Kagome" the other said hushedly, as she moved to stand being the other one.

"Cowardly" he thought

He heard the door open, and the trio turned to look at the large ashed haired man who opened the door

"Great, demon central! I can't take this anymore Kagome!" Eri said before walking towards the other room quickly, and shutting the door.

Kagome bit her lip, and said "I'm sorry about that! She's a drama queen"

Sesshomaru arched an eyebrow and watched her silently, as the large mystery man approached her. The ashen haired man's eyes never leaving his golden ones; "You're awake, you okay?" the man asked

Sesshomaru merely nodded; crossing his arms in front of his chest.

"It's okay, you're safe here" she said softly

Kovu nodded curtly, and merely stood tall beside the small human. Sesshomaru watched the demon intensely, his scent smelled oceanic, and older; the alpha smelled of power and strength.

He nodded, and said matter of fact "You are wolf"

Kovu nodded, and said calmly "Yes"

Sesshomaru asked "You two brought me here"

"Yes, the hunters they attacked and I-"

"We found you knocked out, and brought you back here" Kovu said cautiously

Sesshomaru nodded, as he quietly digested the information. "I owe you a life debt" he said

Kovu shook his head, and said sternly "that isn't necessary"

Sesshomaru raised his eyebrow, "I am bond by the code wolf" Sesshomaru said matter of factly

Kovu's eyes slightly widened, as he stood shocked at the mention of The Code.

Sesshomaru's gaze fell upon the human that stood beside him; icy blue eyes followed his gaze.

Sesshomaru stretched his demonic energy towards the ashen haired demon and felt it clash against the wolds. He felt no ill will from the demon, and noted the aged maturity of the demon's energy. He pulled back before he felt a slight tingle from the human; he titled his head as his energy crackled against her reiki, he raised an eyebrow curiously.

"What is your name?"

"You need not know her name" the wolf said gruffly

Sesshomaru looked over at him, and asked "Should I not know the name of the woman who saved my life?"

Kagome blushed "It's Kagome, and honestly you probably would've been fine if I didn't blow up the place"

Kovu kissed his teeth, and shook his head, silently cursing the small human's naivety.

"Blew up?" Sesshomaru said curiously

Kagome rubbed her neck nervously "I'm a miko, well I was."

He raised an eyebrow "You were?"

She nodded her head, and said "it's a long story! Sorry I blabber when I'm nervous"

"Indeed" he said as he chuckled dryly, enjoying the light dust of blush on her cheeks.

"You seem fine! I think you can be on your way" Kovu said harshly; eager to have the silver haired alpha leave the space.

"Kovu, come on! He just woke up, he must be hungry! I just ordered pizza" Kagome said optimistically.

Sesshomaru nodded "As nice as that sounds, I should be on my way! May I use your phone?" he asked, his deep voice vibrating in his chest. The smooth sound causing Kagome to bit her lip; the dog demon simply cocked his head as she quickly handed him her cell phone.

Sesshomaru turned his back, and dialed the memorized number.

"Hello?" the womans voice said

"Good morning Mother" he said

"Oh thank the gods, are you alright?'

"Yes mother, I'm well. I went for coffee" he said, eyeing the pair in front of him

"Did you complete your mission?" Kimi asked, understanding the code.

"Yes, and I ordered a cappuccino with extra foam"

Kimi nodded, and said "You found a body? Come home and debrief me"

"Yes Mother, I'm leaving now"

"Understood, I'll be here waiting"

He hung up, and handed Kagome back her phone. His fingers lightly touching hers, her blushed deepend.

"Thank you little one for your kindness, and hospitality" he said as he bowed, and turned on his heel as he walked towards the door. "It will not be forgotten" he said before he opened the door and disappeared into the hallway.

"Wow, what a gentleman," Kagome said softly, in awe of the demon's vigor.

"Kagome, you need to be more careful about telling people about what you can do!" Kovu added

Kagome sighed "Kovu, we don't even know what I can do! We've been working together for four year and I still have zero clue on how to control it or where it comes from"

"Even more reason not to talk about it with strange demons!" he said sternly

"Ok ok, I'm sorry! I got excited! His demonic energy is incredible! He feels incredible"she said as she admired her visitor.

"You felt his aura?" Kovu asked

Kagome shrugged "Yeah briefly! It was intense like winter storm"

"Did he say his name?"

Kagome turned, and cursed "No, shit!"

Kovu shook his head at the young woman, as he rolled his eyes and chuckled at her naivety and warmth. She was stubborn which he loved about her but she was also incredibly naive and he worried for her safety. Dog demons were known trackers, and remembering a scent for a dog demon of that alpha's caliber would be effortless. There would be nothing stopping him from coming back here, and killing the two young women; they lived in dangerous times and although he understood the precautions his kind had to take to survive, he didn't want to see Kagome hurt.

"Kid, no more reckless shit okay! No more coming to the Row" he said as he sat at the counter, Kagome whipped her head around and began to argue before Kovu growled deeply in his chest, halting her onslaught.

"You could have gotten killed! You insisted on bringing a strange Alpha home, and you used your powers in front of hundreds of people. You're getting reckless and you need to lay low" Kovu said sternly, his voice leaving no room for argument.

Kagome sighed as her fight faulter, and leaned against the counter top. She bit her lip, and said "I know but I couldn't just leave him. Something in me snapped!"

Kovu nodded slowly "I get it, it was a highly emotional-"

"No! It's like I looked into his eyes and something in me snapped! I had to save him" she muttered, her blue eyes glassed over.

He hummed "Alright, tell you what! We can look into it but I mean it! No more Row"

She nodded, and said "Okay and I'll lay low for a bit"

She turned toward the cabinets and opened it, and grabbed two mugs. She opened the coffee pot and began brewing some coffee; she bit her lip before she said "Are you going to tell me what happened to Ari?"

He sighed, and said "You sure you want to know?" weary of the humans reaction.

She nodded, and remained quiet as she waited for the demon to continue

"Ari had been trying to gain safe passage out of Japan to New Zealand. There's a colony of Phoenix demons out there, she had bartered with a human man. One night of pleasure and he'd take them but he wanted more and she said no, so he killed her" he said sadly

Tears welled in her eyes, before she shook her head "Her kids are still waiting for her" she said quietly

"We will figure something out for them! I'm sorry about your friend Kagome"

Kagome simply nodded, as tears streamed down her face. She was incredibly angry, hate filled her heart as she struggled to remain calm. The windows shook, as she took in a deep breath, her reiki pulsing at her fingertips. She had lost so many friends to hate crimes, and she felt lost; no one was looking for them or out for them, she felt sick as she struggled with coming to terms with burying another friend this week.

Kagome felt a sharp pain in her chest, as she remembered the beautiful Phoenix demon's light and airy personality. The demoness had been her only friend when Kagome had decided to distance herself from the temple, and her miko practices. When she began to build a life for herself away from the shrine, she had lost the support of her parents; and with Kikyo fooling around with Inuyasha, she had also lost her sister. It had been lonely but Ari got her through it, the demoness introduced her to a life of vibrancy, and passion; pushing the once sheltered woman past her comfort zone.

Kagome closed her eyes, as a sob shuddered through her body; the wolf demon rose from her seat to comfort her, pulling the small human into his chest, he rested his chin atop her head as they mourned their dear friend silently.

Their Victorian home stood against a lush forest; the sleek driveway traveled a few miles upward towards the home before halting, allowing for a small rocky path to continue its way towards the home. Their home was on the western side of Japan, the large forest that ran for acres on their land led towards the shores; it allotted them privacy to enjoy the greenery and space to govern themselves as they saw fit. Sesshomaru sighed when the front door came into view; he walked up the steps and strolled into the mansion barefoot, tired and hungry. He nodded at Stolas, a raven demon that saw to the management of their home. His feet touched cherry wood, and his shoulders slightly sagged; his ears twitched as he heard the sound of heels clanging against the wooden floor. He looked up, and watched as his mother jogged down the stairs, a soft smile tugged at his lips before she leaped towards him and pull him into her warm embrace. His large body encompassed her smaller frame, he felt her hand cradle his hand as he placed his forehead against he shoulder. They stood in silence, relishing the scent of family that wafted through their senses.

As a dog demon, he had an instinctual need for a pack and with the dwindling of his species and the divide between his family; his mother was all he had.

"Thank the gods, I was worried pup" she said warmly

He nodded, and said "I'm alright Mother! I wish to clean up, but I will debrief you. I have made a discovery"

Kimi raised her eyebrow, and nodded "Alright dearest, I will make you something to eat" as she let him remove himself from her arms. She watched as he walked up the stairs, and walked towards his bedroom, a sigh left her body in relief. Her eyes drifted to the raven demon stationed at the front door, their eyes met as they both smiled; she nodded softly and turned towards the kitchen.

She entered the kitchen and opened the fridge searching for bread, she gently pulled out a loaf of bread when her ears picked up the sound of the side door opening. The scent of dragon attacked her senses, and she held back a sigh.

"Is that Sesshomaru I sense?" Kirinmaru appeared, as he asked; watching her delicate form intensely.

She nodded, and placed the bread and condiments on the table, shielding her displeasure of his sudden appearance.

"Yes he arrived home safely a moment ago" she said frankly and began making her pup a sandwich.

Kirinmauru nodded "I am glad" the dragon said genuinely

"What did you think of my performance the other evening at the council meeting? I must say, I believe it to be my best" Kirinmaru chuckled, as he examined his claws.

"Is there something you want Kirinmaru?" she asked boldly.

He hummed, as he approached her back. He stood behind her, his body framing hers as she stiffened when she felt his chest against her back. He pressed his nose into her hair before moving his lips onto her ear.

"Do I need to want something to see you,pet?" he said lowly, his breath wisping against her cheek.

She stood frigid, suppressing a shudder. "May I remind you that my son is upstairs?" she said, her voice shaking as she felt him press into her firmly.

He sighed as he dragged a clawed finger up her bare arm, leaving goosebumps in his wake "I'm aware, however I don't believe our agreement stipulated your sons ignorance of this arrangement" he said quietly, his tone slightly rough as his voice deepened as his lust begun to bubble at the surface.

Kimi froze, as his hands moved towards her waist, and danced along the hem of her shirt. She closed her eyes, as she felt his fingers begin to dip under her shirt

"My lord, please" her voice betrays her, cracking slightly as she felt the blood rush to her head.

Kirinmaru hummed as his hands pushed upwards under her shirt searching for the plump flesh that laid on her chest; he ignored her plea and sighed as he gripped her breast softly. His claws gently grazed her nipple. He pressed a soft kiss onto her neck, and said softly "Have I not been kind to you pet?"

She nodded harshly, as he continued "Out of the kindness of my heart, I alone provided you and the pup with shelter after Toga exiled you both from the Western Palace. Have I not elevated your station from disgraced Queen to Ruling Council member? Do I not deserve a little gratitude?" he said, his tone dripping with acid, as his finger roughly plucked her nipple caused her to shriek in pain.

A shuddered breath left her body,as she tried to focus on her surroundings; she said carefully "Of course, My lord! I have not forgotten your kindness, I merely suggest keeping Sesshomaru in the dark regarding our arrangement as his focus should be on the task at hand"

Kirinmaru hummed, and loosened his grip on her sour breast; he gently palmed the delectable bosom, placed a kiss on her shoulder before pulling away. Kimi summoned all her strength to keep herself from shuddering in disgust.

Kirinmaru sighed and said "I see your reasoning pet, and you are correct! He's an invaluable asset and his attention should be on the cause. However your attention should be divided; on both our cause and servicing your lord. Will you grace my bed this evening?"

His words hung in the air, and she felt her chest tighten. She felt like a bird in a cage; she knew better than to think his request was merely an ask and not an order.

"Of course My Lord, it would be my pleasure" she said quietly, softly bowing to the Alpha in front of her. He nodded, and leaned against the kitchen counter; his green eyes watched her closely.

"Toga's spiraling! He took me out for quiet the fancy dinner the other night to apologize for his callousness towards my sister and the women going missing" he said, examining his claws nonchalantly.

She nodded, and listened carefully as he continued "I told him that we would only accept him back into the fold if he accepted that he longer has a controlling vote. That our trust he must earn"

"And what did he say? she asked, as her placed mayonnaise on the slice of bread

"He agreed, although I sense that he merely would like to regain access and continue is pitiful plan"

She nodded, and said "I agree with you, what should we do?"

"We will continue as planned pet! We want him under our thumb, keep your enemy close and all that" the dragon demon said waving his hand.

She nodded, and said "Of course my Lord, I've already begun wooing some of our potential benefactors. We have the attention of the Van Houtten house, and Covenant! They were his biggest supporters when we voted previously"

"Good, next is Koga! I heard he relapsed and his mate is currently working on The Row! Use that to gain his support. Shouldn't be difficult given his loss of limb. The other members will follow as we continue to cast doubt" Kirinmaru said callously

"And Tskuyamaru?" she asked

Kirinmaru arched his eyebrow "He may be a problem, we will need to cautious of our approach"

She nodded, as she hear her sons distinct foot steps begin to descend down the steps "I will discuss this with Sesshomaru, and provide you with some options"

Kirinmaru smirked, and said "I look forward to discussing it tonight" before disappearing out of the back door. She watched him disappear before she released the breath she was holding in; she roughly placed a piece of cheese onto the bred before closing it. She silently cursed that red haired devil; she would do anything to be rid of him and his disgusting advances. She heard her son begin to descend the stairs, and she quickly composed herself.

"Dearest, how was your shower?" she asked, as he emerged clad in a tank top and sweatpants; his hair dripping.

He nodded, and climbed onto the stool "Fine,Mother" as he reached for the sandwich.

She grimaced at his choice of clothes, and said "Must you wear those odd shirts, they are clearly to small"

Sesshomaru cocked his eyebrow, and said "I am indoors Mother"

She waved him off, and said " Kirinmaru has some news, but we can discuss that later! What have you discovered?"

Sesshomaru nodded "I discovered a powerful Miko, with a soft spot for demons"

Kimi arched an eyebrow, curious to hear more "Explain"

"Hunters attacked the row! They cornered me and as I was about to dispatch them when she appeared, and wiped them out. The initial blast knocked me unconscious, she and her wolf accomplice took me to her residence, nursed me and that is where I awoke. She is green, but I believe her to be useful"

Kimi crossed her arms, nodding slowly as she digested the knowledge "You think she will work for us?"

"I can replicate how I turned Mirkou" he said matter of fact

"Mirkou was a child when you found him, we are the only family he has and he is also a horny zealot" She huffed, rolling her eyes at the mere mention of the frustrating boy.

"Yes, but she is naive. She brought me to her residence, an unknown Alpha demon"

"She sounds stupid" Kimi scoffed

Sesshomaru chuckled "Her face reddened whenever my eyes drifted to her person" he said arching an eyebrow

She nodded slowly, as she begun to understand his plan "You wish to gain her affections, and utilize them"

"Yes, I believe it would be simple! I intend to gain her love, and with that she would bend to my every wim"

Kimi sighed as she pinched the bridge of her nose before her gaze lifted, she looked over at her son noting the determined look on his face. She was hesitant to grant her son leave to pursue the human, as she knew of his ruthlessness.

"What would her purpose be?" she asked seeking clarity

"A weapon against the hunters and any who would oppose us!" he said, rising from his chair. He walked around the counter, and rested his hand on her shoulder. Hardened gold peering into hesitant ones, he towered over her.

The very picture of dominance, and strength.

"Think of it, mother! We would be unstoppable. With Miroku placed in the senate as the Prime Minister, Rin in the Department of Defence. No one would dare oppose us" he said with a smirk on his face

"And what of Kirinmaru? He would not approve of this" she said, a worried look on her face.

Sesshomaru shook his head "Mirkou and Rin are loyal to us; as are the men under our employ. As we continue to garnish support within the community and with the Miko as our weapon, we would have no need for him." He said matter of fact

She arched an eyebrow, and asked cautiously "Would you betray him?"

Sesshomaru clenched his jaw, and said "He is not pack, Mother! The goal was to never build an empire with him at the helm"

She nodded slowly, as a soft smile tugged at her lips "You're forgetting Sango, she was selected as a new recruit as a Hunter this morning"

Sesshomaru smiled darkly "We will destroy them from the inside"

She simply nodded, as Sesshomaru said "We will have the power and prestige we are owed"

"All we need are the benefactors and the remaining council. With it, we will have a ruling demonic government with full control of the humans from within their government" she said understanding the depth of her son's plans; she looked up at her son. Her own desire to dispose of the dragon clouding her judgment, and her hunger for revenge bubbling at the surface.

She nodded, and said "I'm very proud of you my son, you've done well. Continue with this plan"

He nodded, and said "Yes Mother," his chest swelled with reached for the sandwich, and lifted it to his mouth earning a glare from his mother. He sighed, and picked up the plate before sitting down properly to eat his sandwich.

"Careful how you approach this, Kirinmaru should be none the wiser" she said sternly

He nodded, as he looked at his mother closely; he could see the furlow of her brow, and the stress in her eyes.

"Mother, is there something you wish to discuss?" he asked as he watched intensely; his mother was not one to normally fidget. She was royal born, thus meaning she held herself regally and reserved; her outward appearance to the naked eye was well put together and pristine, without a single hair out of place. Her silver mane was pulled back into a slicked back bun, she wore a high neckline black sleeveless turtleneck, and a simple gray high waisted skirt. His mother was known for her sense of style, she oozed prestige and status.

"No, dearest" she lied as she flexed her jaw

He sighed, and leaned back into his chair, his golden eyes peering into "Is there a reason why you are lying to me mother?" he asked

She scoffed, and said "Why would I lie?"

"Mother, it has always been just you and I for centuries! Even when we sought refuge in the East under Kirinmaru! I know you better than anyone" he said matter of fact

She smiled softly; he watched the flicker of sadness in her eyes and he sighed before rising from the table once again and walked over his mother. His large frame towering over her small dainty one, he wrapped his finger around her pinky and said "You have been thinking of Toga" his question hung like a statement.

She hummed, and focused her gaze on the floor "Sadly yes, he always finds his way back into my mind"

"I understand Mother, but those memories only bring you try not to dwell on the past" he said softly. Sesshomaru wasn't known for his caring demeanor, having been bred and raised as a skilled assassin; however it was in these moments when they were alone that he would soften his words, and heart towards her only. After everything they had weathered together; he loved her deeply.

"I know son, I am wondering when his memory will cease haunting me" she said frustratedly, as she looked up at her son.

"When his heart ceases to beat" he said coldly, a frightening glint shorn in his eyes.

Kimi tisked, and placed her hand on his cheek gently, he leaned into her touch seeking his mothers comfort.

"And what of you? How are the sessions going with Doctor Prichard?" she asked

His body felt ridged, as he froze "I've told you mother, I do not require a therapist"

She raised her eyebrow and combated " And I have told you that you will attend every session otherwise I will drag you there myself"

"I am not weak" he said, pulling himself from her embrace, and turned his back to her. He racked his hands through his mane, and huffed in frustration.

"I never said you were! You have been through so much-"

"We both have" he insisted, as he turned his head to the side.

"I foolishly thought it hadn't scarred you! I thought I had shielded you from the pain but I clearly have failed as you mother. In the past few decades, your demeanor has become cold and you have become cruel! That is not how I raised you. Especially considering what happened last year-"

"It wasn't me mother" he said coolly, avoiding her gaze

She glared and said "You have never lied to me before, do not begin so now"

He bit his lip, and faced her; his breath shuddered as she looked at him.

"I hadn't meant too" he said quietly as a storm brewed beneath his skin. He was talented at many things, including burrowing his pain but as time passed the past seemed to find it's way back to him and caused him to snap, unleashing his wrath on anyone within the proximity. His last "episode" had scared his mother, thus forcing him to see the ridiculous Doctor Prichard.

She nodded, and sighed "I know, but this is why I insisted on seeing Doctor Prichard. You've been dark as of late"

Sesshomaru scoffed, his face set like stone as he faced her; he raised his eyebrow and said "Are we not monsters, Mother? Isn't that what Father dearest had said! That humanity is the pinnacle of goodness" he said sarcastically as he clenched his jaw tightly, his golden eyes hardened at the thought of his father.

Kimi crossed her arms,and said, her voice raising slightly, "To hell with what your Father believes! That is not what I raised you to believe! I raised you to follow The Code!"

Sesshomaru looked away from her, "You believe me to be crazy then?, a monster" he said quietly asking.

She shook her head "Never! You are my son but that incident cannot be ignored and your panic attacks have worsened and are more frequently! I will not lose you" She shouted; her voice cracking at the weight of the situation.

Guilt crept into his mind, as he noted the tears welling in his mother's eyes. His shoulders sagged slightly, as he approached her; he has always hated when his mother cried. He reached her, and wiped her tears "You will not lose me"

"You will continue to see the doctor" she said as she sniffled

He nodded and pulled her into his chest "Aren't we quite the pair? I'm clinically manic and you're always crying"

Sesshomaru had struggled with his mental health since the traumatic night when Toga had ripped his mother from their bed, and tossed her down the steps. As a young child, a mere six years old, he had cried as he watched his Father assault his mother, he had thrown his body onto his Mother thinking that it would halt his father's anger but it simply worsened. His Father had beaten him repeatedly that night; whenever he closed his eyes he could see the sight of his Fathers hands, and his face twisted in anger. Some days when it was silent, he could still feel the lingering touches of his Fathers fists on his back; the pain radiating through his body.

He had spent many restless nights, awaking with a start as his nightmares were filled with his fathers violence. He became prone to anxiety, his breath leaving his body in some odd instances and the smallest thing triggered this strange phenomena. As he grew with age; his anxiety attacks would end with fits of rage, uncontrollable rage; where he'd blackout and awake with blood dripping down his claws; never his own.

Dr Prichard had diagnosed him with Mania brought on by trauma; he had scoffed at the simple diagnosis. Although last year's "episode" was one of the worst, he wouldn't admit out loud that the sessions had been helping.

She sighed, and said bitterly "The discards of Lord Toga"

He tsked, shoved her gently; she looked up at him as she wiped her eyes; black mascara marred her perfect face.

"You mention the girl had a wolf companion? Will he be an obstacle?" she asked changing the subject, as she was weary of bringing them down the black hole of their past.

"He is powerful, I felt his aura and he would be an adversary if he deems me a threat" he said matter of fact.

She nodded slowly "He is Koga's kin?" she asked curiously

He shook his head "I do not believe so, his features were Eurocentric" he responded remembering the ashen haired demon.

"Leave it with me! Your approach must be sound and if we can acquire them both, it will help our cause"

He shook his head agreeing with her before he said "We should discuss the Row"

She nodded, and said as she sniffled "What were your findings?"

"A body" he said simply remembering the carnage he came across, and the scent of dried blood.

She frowned "a body?" She asked, perroting him as she folded her arms

He nodded, "a demoness, she was missing her reproductive organs. She was butchered brutally; her body was rolled into a carpet and stored in a sewage drain near the port"

She sighed "Someone is targeting female demons, and many are turning up butchered. Reports have been ignored under Toga's leadership. Did you find anything that could alert us to who is doing this?" she asked

He nodded "I smelt a human man" he said, his voice laced with disgust

She frowned, and motioned for him to continue

"There was semen inside of her vaginal canal, it was dried between her thighs as well"

Kimi clenched her jaw "I will alert Kirimaru"

He nodded, and said "I will retire for the afternoon! There is much to plan" he placed a kiss on her cheek before disappearing into the living room.

Kimi stood in front of her floor length mirror, as she tucked a silver lock of hair behind her ear. An eerily feeling of dread and nausea began to stir in her stomach; she always felt sick whenever Kirinmaru would call upon her, as per their arrangement centuries ago. She shivered as she remembered the day they struck their bargain; she remembered everything about that day. The rain that pounded against the cobblestone, the lightning that brightened the sky and illuminated the flame haired demon. She shut her eyes, as the memories began drifting into her consciousness; Kirinmaur's face twisted in pleasure as tears streamed down her face, the pain and the scent of blood. She took in a deep breath as images of Toga's smile flickered between Kirimaru's twisted smirk; she remembered the joy that filled the Western Palace, and their marriage before it all came crashing down. Sequestering her to a life as nothing more than a common whore; Even in the days after, she sat quietly with herself racking her brain for a moment or a gesture that would have suggested his infidelity or the cruelty that lurked under his mask.

She took in a deep breath as the river of memories and pain flowed through her. She remembered the day she met Toga; they'd met at her fathers spring ball. She had met his gaze across the room, and her eyebrow raised at the sound of the Lord's boisterous laughter. They had been young and full of hope; she had fallen in love so quickly. The beginning of their marriage had been filled with nights of passion and days filled with laughter and love; she never wanted it to end but it had simply been the prelude to the pain that was promised.

She remembered that fateful night when Toga had sequestered his wife and child to the wilds; She remembered the feeling of Toga's claws in her hair as he ripped her from their bed, and dragged her through the palace halls; the night he had jetsoned her and Sesshomaru. She remembered the cold wet ground, and how he threw her down the steps as their son wailed while tugging on his fathers leg. She remembered the cold angered look in his eyes, before throwing them both out of the only home they'd ever known, with only the clothes on their back.

That is how it all began; she had fled to the East with her pup and had bartered her body for shelter and protection a few months later.

Her breath shuddered, as she took in a deep breath. She pushed the memories of her and Toga to the back of her mind; nothing good would come from dredging up the past before her fateful meeting with the man who practically owned her. She tied her jacket tightly and adjusted the black thigh high boots before she walked out of her bedroom. Her ruby painted lips trembled, as she walked through the quiet estate; her eyes fell onto Sesshomaru's bedroom door. She swallowed her pride, as her lips pulled into a tight smile before she turned and walked down the winding steps. She found Stolas at the base of the steps, and nodded at the raven demon.

"Will you be returning this evening My lady?" her loyal servant asked bowing slightly

She shook her head, and said "No, Stolas! You and I both know that Kirinmaru requests my company until the morning"

He nodded, and said "I understand My lady, do be careful"

She smiled at the raven demon, and placed her hand on his chest "I always am, and Stolas-"

"I will not breathe a word to the young lord" he said bowing his head, as she nodded and walked towards the door. She opened the large door, and climbed down the steps as a black sleek limo sedan pulled up; she watched as the driver climbed out the car and opened the backdoor. She reached the final step, and climbed into the limo, the breath left her lungs as she made eye contact with the alpha demon nestled into the corner. The limo was dimly lit, with two bottles of champagne in the centre island.

She watched the demon pat the seat beside him, she bit the inside of her cheek and climbed over towards the dragon demon.

"Pet, you certainly look ravishing this evening" Kirinmaru said seductively

Kimi smiled, as she caught her appearance in the window behind him. Her golden eyes were accented against her blackened smoked eyeshadow, and her shiny red lips add a certain appeal to the porcelain beauty.

"You flatter me My Lord" she said quietly as she crossed her legs

"I simply couldn't wait until I saw you, so I thought we could meet a little sooner" he said

She smiled, and turned her head as the limo began to move and disappear into the night.

Kirinmau tsked, and placed his clawed hand on her thigh "Did I not say you were to wear nothing?" he said as he toyed with the trench coat.

She turned, and looked at him "I thought you might like a surprise My Lord, think of it as a gift for you continued kindness" she lied

He arched his brow, and said "How is a trench coat supposed to be my surprise koi?"

She cleared her throat, and pressed the silver button on the door; prompting the partition to slide upwards blocking the driver's view of the back. She undid the tan belt tied around her waist, and open her coat revealing a red garter belt the snuggly wrapped around her shapely thighs, a lace thong that matched her lacey ruby coloured bra.

Kirinmaru's mouth dried at the sight of the ruby red lingerie that wrapped around her body, and contrasted against her skin and complimented the black thigh high boots.

His hand rubbed against her thigh, and slowly inched upwards towards the crease between her pelvis and her thighs. He bent his head, and placed a soft kiss on his thigh before his tongue darted and licked her creamy skin, a grumble rumpled in his chest as he tasted her soft skin. He looked up at her, and said "It never ceases to amaze me, your endless beauty Kimi! Since the day we met, I have always been in awe of you" He pulled her into his lap, and helped her shrug off her coat; she straddled his hips as he kissed her neck softly.

"Before we begin My Lord, should I not update you?" she said as she stuttered wanting to prolong the wait

He hummed, waving his hand aimlessly , and said "Later, I have not tasted you in months. I want nothing more than nestle my face in between your legs''

She blushed, and said "I thought you would simply like to take me My Lord"

He gripped her chin roughly, and said "I am aware that you would like for this to be over sooner than later but I'd rather take my time this evening"

She swallowed,as her mouth dried as she struggled to find her words.

He leaned in, his lips brushing her ear "It would do you well to remember your place Koi" he whispered as his tongue lightly dragged against the shell of her ear.

She looked out the window of the limo; the darkened night and pitter of the rain greeted her. The lights of her home long gone, as she fought against her body's need to run. He hummed as his hand snaked between her thighs causing tears to well in her eyes.

"If you simply gave in, and allowed yourself to be mine. We could bypass all this nonsense" he said slightly agitated, as his fingers pulled her panties to the side, and began to dance along her clit. She clenched her jaw, and turned to look at him; a slight fire burning in her golden eyes.

"I am merely your whore" she said with her teeth clenched

His jaw tighten "You have always fought me and I'll admit in the past it only angered me causing me to act brutish but I will have patience tonight however-" he said as he quickly gripped her face harshly, cause her to gasp loud.

"But do not test me! We both know how I get when you anger me" he hissed

She nodded hesitantly and said fiercely "Then take what you want and leave me"

He snarled, gripped her throat "Well if I cannot have your submission perhaps Sesshomaru would be more pliable. He's always been quiet pretty" he said haughty

Her eyes widened as fear ripped through her body,

"Do you yield?" he said tilting her head, allowing himself better access to her neck, forcing her submission.

Tears sprang from her eyes, and rolled down her face as she nodded; his grip on her neck released. She coughed, and lied "I'm happy to serve you"

He smiled wickedly, and said "Good, now show me what I want"

She numbly parted her thighs, and closed her eyes; seeking refuge in her mind.

He reached between her legs, and continued to play with her clit; she felt his fingers plunge into her roughly. She forced mewing sounds past her lips. He continued to pump his fingers out of her, as she forced her body to respond.

The heat in the limo caused condensation on the window; as tears continued to roll down her cheek as he hid his face in her neck.

He sighed as he felt the heat from her sweet cavern, he longed for these moments with his sweet koi's legs wide for him as he explored his pet's body. He had thought after many centuries she would willingly submit to him, and allow him to mate her but she had fought him continuously, angering the red haired demon. He dreamed of having her as his wife, and mate; watching her grow plump with his seed. However the demoness had proven stubborn and continued to deny him his right!

In the old days, when she had been Toga's wife he had longed for just a glimpse of her, and for a few words in his direction. It had taken him years of plotting to figure out how he would take her from him and yet without him lifting a finger, Toga had destroyed his marriage and delivered Kimi and Sesshomaru to his doorstep. Overnight he gained his heart's desire, and child to mold into his vision; Kirimaru sat contently as he felt Kimi's pussy quiver as he continued to pleasure her. Her scent filled the limo, and he salivated as his fangs elongated and his once green eyes dripped red.

He quickly spun,and roughly placed her on her back; earning a shriek from the curvy woman. He motioned for her to sit up as he moved to his knees, and he watched as she slowly sat against the backrest and parted her leg. He roughly ripped the fabric that barred his access, he gripped her thighs and hurriedly placed his face against her cunt, and plunged his tongue inside of her, he moaned loudly as the taste of her caused his pants to tighten.

She bit her lip, as she looked up at the roof of the limo before tears began pooling in her eyes and one slid down her cheek. She closed her eyes, and tried to remove herself from her body as she had done whenever they had their "meetings". The feel on his tongue inside of her, and the weight of his hands on her thighs made her skin crawl; her mind drifted to her earlier conversation with her son. Silently praying that his plan would finally rid them of Kirinmaru's strings.

She took a deep breath, and allowed memories to fly past her eyes, desperately trying to ignore the dragon demon between her thighs.

It was going to be a long night.

Oooop many things are as they seem!

Okay so don't hate me, i've been adjusting to married life! The wedding was AMAZING!
