Sesshomaru's Story

Sesshomaru woke the next morning. He whimpered and got to his feet and looked out his window. He stared into the distance and wondered about his past long ago back when he was still free. He shuddered and pushed the memory away he knew that he was collared by magic. He knew that he would never be set free.

Kagome woke that morning feeling terrible. She walked into Sesshomaru’s room after changing clothes. She walked over to him and tapped his shoulder.

Sesshomaru started and dropped to his knees and lowered his head to her feet and licked them. He then whimpered and kept his head bowed.

Kagome sighed and started to speak to him. She looked around and saw that Inuyasha was gone.

“Sesshomaru. I am so sorry. I never should have punished you. I know it was wrong of me. Please forgive me. I won’t do that again. You can come and go as you please. I would free you if I could. I am sorry. I just don’t know how. You can eat whenever you get hungry. I won’t harm you again. Try and trust me. I’m going to go wander around the house. Feel free to leave and wander around the woods.”

Kagome walked out of the bedroom and headed to the library.

Sesshomaru blinked and raised slowly. He shook his head and walked into his closet. He pulled out some clothes. And dressed. He shook his head and wondered why she was lying. He debated over what she had said. He decided to risk it. He left the home and walked into the woods. He looked around as he started to walk. He picked up a scent of someone from long ago. He blinked and walked forward. He reached a stream and sat down and started to catch himself some fish. He then slowly ate savoring the food. He growled as he heard a noise and turned and saw a boar demon. He snarled and bared his fangs. He leaped forward as it rushed. They met in the center and Sesshomaru sliced the demon with his poison claws. He got a large wound in his abdomen in retaliation. He shuddered and started back home. He walked slowly and saw that the sun was high in the sky. He realized that he had lost track of time sitting by the stream. He entered his bedroom after walking through the gates. He sighed and undressed and looked at the hole. He decided that he would tell his mistress. He put on the pants and left his top clear of clothes. Sesshomaru walked into the library where he smelled Kagome’s scent. He saw her and walked over and kneeled at her feet and whimpered.

Kagome blinked and saw him and raised a eyebrow then she saw the wound and paled. She stood and got him to follow her. They walked to his bedroom and Kagome bandaged the wound then turned and asked him.

“What happened?”

“ I am sorry Mistress. I apologize for ruining the shirt you bought for me. I was sitting at a stream when I was attacked by a boar demon. I Accept whatever punishment you deem fit to bestow upon me. I know that I have earned your anger Mistress.”

Kagome sighed and hugged him. She then walked out and down to the kitchen and grabbed a plate of food and walked back up and handed it to him with the command to eat. She then started to talk.

“I know I said before. But you will not be harmed anymore here. I am looking for a way to free you Sesshomaru. Now who was the hanyou? You never told me that. I won’t harm you. You are safe. You can do as you please. I only want your company when we go into town. Only then must you act like a slave.”

“Yes Mistress. I will obey you mistress. I apologize mistress.”

“Call me Kagome. That is my name. You don’t need to call me mistress.”

“Yes Ka..Kagome. I apologize Kagome. This is different for me. I am sorry Mistress. I mean Kagome.”

“Never mind. Call me whichever is easiest for you. I promise to not get angry.”

“Thank you Mistress. For the food and your kindness Mistress.”

Kagome sighed and left the room and walked into the hall and headed down to the stables. She walked into the main area and started to clean up. She was bored and trying to figure out the mind of Sesshomaru. She thought back and remembered her first time learning of slaves and how she hated it. She wondered what was so special that made her want to keep Sesshomaru. She wondered about his past.

Sesshomaru meanwhile yawned. He was healing and he walked into a corner and curled up and drifted into a light slumber. He remembered his past. So long before he became a slave.

Sesshomaru walked along a ridge. He looked over the water and sighed. He started through a dense forest and walked slowly in the direction of home. He heard running and turned to meet his cousin. He smiled at Arrow. He blinked and growled playfully. Arrow ran up and shook out his silver hair he was a hanyou. He growled and jumped onto Sesshomaru and pulled him to the ground. They tossed and turned and played. They were both just pups. Sesshomaru stood and shook out his hair. He started back toward home wondering about is mother and how well she was. He listened to Arrow’s breath and smiled at his cousin. He growled and started to run forward in play.

Meanwhile Inuyasha hunted. He shook his hair and cringed. He had ran all night. He killed a rabbit and sat down to eat. He finished off his meal and started back running. He shuddered as he smelled a human village. His ears twitched in fear and anger. He ran around and continued quickly on his path. He ran throughout the day. As night fell he saw the western castle. He entered and panted. He rushed through the main doors and whimpered at his cousin. He lowered his ears and cowered.

Arrow looked in wonder at Inuyasha. He did not want to be a demon lord but Sesshomaru had vanished and so he had to take the throne. He walked up to his cousin and asked.

“What is the matter Inuyasha? I believed that you had died as well. It has been many years.”

“I know Arrow. I found Sesshomaru. He is a slave. I need him free. Please help me. I was a slave. He granted me freedom at his expense. Please go and free him.”

“I will. I am glad to know that he is alive. But it will be awhile before I can do anything Inuyasha. Maybe you should head into your room and rest. You look more dead than alive.”

“Thank you. I am tired and injured. They helped me. Goodnight Arrow.”

Inuyasha met the black eyes of his cousin and smiled. He then limped toward his bedroom and collapsed onto the bed asleep before he hit the pillow.

Meanwhile Sesshomaru woke as night fell. He heard Kagome’s breath in the other room sleeping. He shook his head. And looked out the window. He blinked and smiled up at the moon. He sighed and thought of his mother.

Sesshomaru walked into his mother’s open arms. She smiled at him and laughed. “What has gotten in to you my son?” “Nothing mother. I was just wondering about the world. Why is father always away?” “ He must protect us and his lands. He is a demon lord after all. Much like yourself. One day you will succeed your father and become a ruler. You are destined for great things my son. I believe that and in you.” “ Mother. I love you.” Sesshomaru sighed and hugged his mother and started to cry. She shushed him and wiped the tears away. She then started to tickle her son and watched as he laughed. They walked outside and into the gardens together. She started to tell him stories about his father.

Sesshomaru sighed and thought over things. He wondered if he could trust this master. He decided to give her a chance. He walked back into his corner and curled up for sleep. He drifted back into slumber.
