Sesshomaru's Story

Sesshomaru woke early the next morning. He yawned showing fangs and whimpered. He looked at his stomach and sighed as the wound was healed. He stood and stretched. He walked out of the bedroom and sniffed around till he found the kitchen. He grabbed a piece of meat and started to eat. He remembered her reassurance and smiled as he felt that he may not be beaten. He ate then sniffed Kagome out and entered her bedroom and kneeled beside the bed to wait. He wondered what would happen.

Kagome woke and blinked she met gold eyes and yawned. She shook her head and sat up and smiled at Sesshomaru. She slowly stood and walked into her closet and changed clothes. She walked out and headed down the hall and into the dinning room to eat.

Sesshomaru followed and kneeled at her feet. He wondered what had happened to Arrow’s father. His elder brother. Then he shook off the feeling he had vanished long ago before Sesshomaru became a slave. He just missed his family.

Kagome finished her food and commanded Sesshomaru to follow her. She walked to the stables and got on a horse and started to trot out of the home area. She looked back and saw Sesshomaru right behind and beside her horse. She smiled and continued on to the north into a new town that they had never been in before. She rode up to the inn and dismounted. She then clipped a leash onto Sesshomaru’s collar and led him down the way.

Sesshomaru picked up the scent from long ago again only it was stronger. He snapped his head up and whined. He turned and tried to go away toward the scent then he felt a tighten and lowered his head and followed Kagome. He was distracted he knew that it was his elder brother and the first son to Inutashio. He wondered where he was and what he was thinking.

Kagome shook her head and looked at Sesshomaru and told him to lead. She followed him into the main square. There she saw a cart. She followed him to a cage that held a demon boy. She gasped as she met dead eyes. She released Sesshomaru’s leash and walked to the trader.

“How much for the demon in that cage?”

“100,000 thousand yen. He is one of a kind. The son to Inutashio and Midoriko. He is the king of demons. He is most likely worth more than that. But I’ll sell him for that amount.”

“No. You will sell him for less. I’ll give you half of that. It looks like he needs help and food. Now what do you say? He is obviously damaged badly.”

“Fine lady. He’s yours now. Your right that price is fine. Good luck oh. His word is “Control” It will subjugate him. Though I doubt you will need it.”

Kagome nodded and walked to Sesshomaru. She had paid the man. She walked inside the cage and attached Sesshomaru’s leash to the demon’s collar. She led him out and had Sesshomaru pick him up. She then led Sesshomaru back to her horse and mounted and they rode home. They arrived at nightfall. Kagome sighed and led Sesshomaru into the hot spring. She smiled at the demon he was holding and told Sesshomaru to lay him down.

The demon was named Silver. He cowered and backed away. He whimpered and lowered his head. His black hair was matted with his blood. His pale body was bleeding and caked with dirt. He lowered his body as close to the ground as he could and waited.

Sesshomaru watched as Kagome walked out. He then stripped and stepped into the water and pulled Silver in after him. He met startled golden eyes just like his. He knew that though his brother appeared a full demon and was by blood that he was born a hanyou. He wondered how his brother was enslaved. Sesshomaru started to wash Silver. He always wondered why his brother was named that. Sesshomaru finished and stepped out of the water and dried off. He smiled as he saw Silver get out and walk to him. He dried Silver and then dressed him in a robe that was always there. He then put on his pants and walked out. He saw Kagome waiting and kneeled.

Silver whimpered and kneeled beside Sesshomaru. He shuddered as he realized he may have displeased his mistress.

Kagome told them both to stand and walked them into Sesshomaru’s room. She looked at Silver and grabbed his collar then saw that it was stronger magic than what locked Sesshomaru. She sighed and looked to Sesshomaru having a feeling that her other slave would not answer.

“What is his name? And how do you know him Sesshomaru?”

“He is my brother. His name is silver. He vanished long before I was a slave. I never knew his fate until now. I am concerned about him.”

“I see. Well Silver I will give you the same speech almost that I gave Sesshomaru. You will never be harmed here. You are safe. You can feel free to come and go or eat whenever you desire. I most likely will not bring both of you into town together. But you should make yourself content here. Now you have nothing to fear. My name is Kagome. You can call me that or Mistress whichever you prefer. Also you are allowed to speak. I will not hurt you for saying something.”

Kagome turned and walked out of the bedroom and into her own room. She sighed and tossed herself onto the bed. She then slowly stood and walked down the hall and into the dinning room. She sat down beside her brother as servants came and laid out food. She started to eat while briefing Sota about her newest slave and how pricey he was. Though she knew that it was no really a concern as she was the protector of the sacred Jewel.

Silver looked at Sesshomaru then at the floor. He whimpered then walked out of the room and down the hall following his nose. He entered the dinning room and rushed to Kagome’s side and kneeled at her feet. He whined and begged for food. He was trained to only eat from his master’s hand.

Sesshomaru followed Silver and wondered what his brother was doing. He sat down on a chair near Kagome and helped himself to the food. He ate.

Kagome sighed and slowly figured out what silver wanted. She broke off a piece of food and fed him. Then she continued until he turned his head away. She smiled knowing that he was full. She then continued to eat for herself.

Silver whined and stood. He walked back into the bedroom and over to a corner. He lay down and drifted into a uneasy slumber remembering the day he broke.

“You worthless mutt. I will break you. You think you are so special just because you are the king of Demons. You are nothing runt. You are a pest that should die. I would kill you myself if I was able. But No… You can’t die. You are beyond immortal.” A whip flashed and hit Silver’s back with force. He yelped as growled as it continued to beat him down. He shook his head and finally whined. He lowered his eyes and said. “Please no more Master. Forgive me master. I apologize master.” Silver whimpered as he was dropped to the floor. He cowered and kept his head bowed. He started to cry in silence. The years of pain and starvation had finally destroyed the king of demons.

Sesshomaru shook his head and walked into the bedroom and lay down. He went into a light and dim sleep.

Kagome finished her food and walked into their bedroom and smiled. She left and went to her own room and to bed. She wondered what was coming in her life. She was hoping that she could get through to Silver.
