9 Lives, 6 wives, 1 Heart

by brandypandyxxx

He already had 6 wives, what did he need her? Kikyo blames Kagome for her lack of respect to the mikohood and this is her punishment. For him, it is because he has not bred anyone of his wives. He refuses to consummate their marriage and she is just fine with that. He doesn't really want any of his wives but slowly she finds herself by his side and under his watchful eyes.

4. The First Wife

Sesshomaru stood in a field full of white flowers, but some had been painted red with blood from a kill. The wind blew, and with it, Kaugra. She was free to come and go and do as she pleased. She did his bidding. It kept up with appearances.

"My Lord," She bowed behind him.

"Hn, Kaugra."

"The wind has spoken; tell me, is this why you have bathed Rin's favorite spot in blood?"

Rin, the only human he liked. He made a fist. "What has the wind spoken of?"

"Truly, you wish for me to repeat it?" She took out her fan,

"It is true."

Kagura laughed, "Your father does hate you."

Sesshomaru turned his eyes to her, and she snapped her fan shut., "Now what?"

"I will do nothing; she will age and die lonely."

Kagura's face became serious, and she walked up and in front of him, "Perhaps someone did not study Miko's history enough."

"I know quite enough about her, Kagura."

She sighed and looked at her nails. "You are no fool, Sesshomaru; you are aware Kagome has nine lives," In other words, she was immortal.

"Even Immortals can die."

"True, but you won't be her killer."

He looked away, and the wind blew again,

"I'll break her."

"Is that your goal now?"

He looked at her again. "I need not do anything to break her."

Kagura looked at the blood. "Seems she is getting to you more than you are getting to her."

"My brother."

"Your brother?"

"Hn, do you not feel him coming?"

Kagura closed her eyes and made the wind move. "Hai, he has heard the news."

"I may kill him."

"Hm, yes, I understand," She turned, "If it is all the same to you, I wish to go greet our new wife."

"Do as you please, witch."

She hated being called that, but with a zip and snap of fingers, she was gone, and just like that, Inuyasha arrived. The damn witch knew what she was doing.

"Is it true?" Inuyasha asked.

"You, of all people, should have known this would happen half-breed."

"You could have denied her!"

"I have not touched her."

"You could have bred one of your bitches, Sesshomaru, any of them!."

He looked away, down at the flowers now red. How could he say that he had no desire? No rich need, no fire in his belly to impregnate any of them. He never thought it would happen; he didn't think he would care. In fact, he thought he would happily just impregnate them all. But then he married the first, then the second and the more he married, the less the desire.

None of them called forth his fire. His demon, maybe, but even his demon denied them.

"You know our father," Was all he could say, or at least all he was offering to say.

"You're gonna have to clean up this blood; if Rin sees it, she will freak."

"Then I leave that to you," Sesshomaru turned away from his brother,

"Sesshomaru, what are you going to do with Kagome?"

Sesshomaru stopped, "Nothing, I will do nothing."

Inuyasha watched as his brother walked away; he sighed. Guilt ran through him. This was his fault. Kagome, the one and pure, the one with the biggest heart, would not know love. They had all stolen that from her. Inuyasha knelt down and picked up one bloody flower, and looked at it. "He loves her not."

He closed his eyes, "Forgive me."

When he opened them again, the flowers were white.
