A Woman's Wrath

AN: I want to thank every single person that had something to say, words of encouragement for everything that i've been going through with my X and myself. I read them all, every word, and i can only tell you thank you from the bottom of my heart, i feel so special to know so many were out there thinking of me. This story was something i was working on before the break up, and i just got it back from my beta today.

I'm emotionally a lot better, and getting better everyday. We're going to stay friends, but i honestly don't think or know if we'll get back together. While this makes me sad, i'm staying optimistic, and not burning bridges with him. While i havent been able to force myself to write on any of my love stories, this story has had my attention. I feel that at the moment its something i can write without upsetting myself emotionally right now, and further more my muse seems alive on it, while it seems to be snoozing on the idea of love at the moment.

I WILL be back to finish those beautiful fictions as soon as can be. I hate leaving you all hanging like that, and as soon as i can get myself together more, i will be going back to them. As of now though i cant say that i'd expect much from me, but what i'll probably be updating for a little bit, will be more set up chapters for fics, and stories that arent based on love.

Anyway, thank you so much for being there for me, i can only hope that i'm there for you all too when and if the time comes. - r0o

A Woman’s Wrath by r0o

Chapter 1


Sessomaru sat in his office overlooking Tokyo, just staring out of the window, he was contemplating life in general as well as his own. He had been mated for five years to a rather lovely, happy, demure demoness, Kagome. It had been arranged and his beast had taken quiet some time to fall for the little onna, but honestly when it had it had fallen hard, the problem was he hadn’t yet. Yes, he would protect her from anything, but that was more out of pure possession then love, or even passion, and passion was what they lacked.

She was said to have one hell of a fiery side, literally, being that she was an empathic elemental demoness with control over fire mainly and electricity when angered greatly, but he had never seen it. He was neither empathic or elemental and so he had no idea that as youth elementals were sent into heavy training for control over their powers, that it was nearly impossible for one to lose themselves to their inner element, but kami save them all if they did.

He was told she was the strongest, he doubted it, but it was one of the reasons they had been mated, he had the best, even when it came to mates, and she was said to be the best. On many levels he couldn’t argue that, he knew himself a fool to do the things he did but he couldn’t help himself.

She was lovely though, he couldn’t deny that either, long raven locks that flowed with large wave and bounce down to her lower hips. Perfectly shaped pert feeling mounds that were just the right size for his hands, her scent was perfect, her eyes though blue were dark and muddy with flecks of hazel and cinnamon brown, very earthy, which made sense as she was an elemental. Round hips perfect to hold on to while intimate, and wonderful for birthing heirs, that tapered into an impossibly tiny waist, and a flat stomach.

But as perfect as she was, demure, obedient, intelligent, prefect was she in every way, she was boring, there was no spit fire to deal with, hardly any fight at all. If he didn’t like something she corrected it, if he wanted something she got it for him. When he came home from a long day at work, she was ready with dinner, the evening paper, the TV on the news, and a glass of his favorite brandy, slippers too, and not to mention a back message, or a foot rub, she was good at that.

She even catered to his every need in bed, but there was no spark there like there should be, yes it was enjoyable, and he would never deny her, but he didn’t long to ravage her, he didn’t pine for her, but she took care of all his needs there too. He couldn’t honestly ask for more, but he wanted something not so perfect, he was already perfect, he could pay for perfect, he didn’t need a mate that just rolled over for him, that never fought him, that never challenged him. It was probably this reason that led him to his affair.

It had begun a few months back, while working on a deal with another company he had been putting in long hours at work, and hadn’t had a chance to be with his mate in a while. His personal assistant was always ready, willing, and able, but he had never dipped his pen in the office inkwell.

He sometimes wished he never had, but that night months ago was the start of something dangerous, they could get caught, and his reputation could go down the hole, his father worked right up stairs and could at any time catch them as many times as they had sullied his office. And his little mate, he could break her heart if she were to ever find out, but these things, and even the possible angering of his mate’s fearsome grandfather, Toto-Sai, did not stop him from cheating on his mate.

He had long ago learned to block out his own emotions and having an empathic mate, he had learned to block his mating mark as well for both in and out. It had caused a lot of problems at first but his father had straightened his mate out that time, and so now she thought nothing of it.

He was lucky on so many levels, elementals didn’t have the scent capabilities that Inu’s did, so she never smelt his conquest, he usually showered as soon as he got home, and dealt with his boring little mate the rest of the night. His beast though was less then pleased by his actions at the office, but his control was rock solid, and even angering his own beast was not his concern. His golden orbs looked out across the land from his tower office window, it would be another ‘late night’ with Kagura again, he smirked at the idea.

The wind youkai, another elemental, he mused was well… passionate, she took what she wanted and fought to keep it, of course he didn’t know that emotional elements only spoke to how truly weak they were it wouldn’t have mattered anyway. She was sultry, dirty in a way that Kagome could never be, she did things to him that he could never see Kagome doing, he could be rough with her and the wind witch loved him for it. In short she was the perfect whore, so long as she didn’t bring up his mate.

It was the only thing he did not like about her really, she was shorter then Kagome was, her legs not nearly as long, her skin far more pale then Kagome‘s was, her eyes were an un-kami like crimson, like blood, her hair wild and unkempt with curls that were wonderful to lock his fingers into as he pounded into her. He sighed, but her attitude was less then wonderful, she did love to annoy him so about leaving his mate, and no matter what happened that would not, he might cheat on Kagome but he was never going to leave her.

Sighing again, which was very unlike him, Sesshomaru heard his office door open, no knock, knowing fully that it was Kagura, he turned his blazing golden eyes towards his mistress. The office was closing, and there was no one left on the floor, he could feel the last being moving towards the elevator now.

Watching like the predator he was, he watched as his personal assistant and secretary begin to undress in a manor meant to seduce, it usually always worked, but today it didn’t seem that his ‘not-so-little’ guy wanted to oblige, he couldn’t lie to himself with Kagome on his mind, his beast did tend to have a bit more control over his body, or at least this part of it, and beyond this his beast wanted to kill Kagura.

He couldn’t really understand his beasts loathing for his mistress, but then he did block most things out when it came to his feelings and his beast, today would have been a good day not to do that though, his beast had tried to warn him, but nothing could change Sesshomaru‘s logical mind. Even if Sesshomaru blocked it out all emotion and feelings, his beast wouldn’t and couldn’t block anything even if he could, the dormant beast with turmoil filled scarlet eyes could feel their mate getting closer to them.

It was panicking, but its master wouldn’t listen, it certainly knew how strong their mate was, and it wanted nothing to do with this weak wind youkai. Sadly it knew they would have to learn the hard way, that it would endure the pain its master caused but it would make him pay dearly for it, it swore that to itself. The beast knew the wrath of their little mate was fearsome, it knew that she would and could kill, it only hoped she wouldn’t go so far, for when she came back to herself such things would kill her.

Kagome was on her way to the city, her little silver car was fast as she made her way against traffic, she hadn’t brought Sesshomaru dinner in a long time and she missed him. Sure he was cold, aloof and sometimes heartless, but she had found that she loved him dearly, it had been such a shock to find that her grandfather and his father had arranged a mating between the two of them years ago, she was so against it, but being the good girl she was, she went with it, and fell in love with the big marble inu. He hadn’t really been all that open, still wasn’t really, but she had learned to read him, to understand his needs and wants, she wanted to please him, because when he was happy she was too.

She was by nature a very independent woman, who asked for little, often putting others before herself as she had been taught to long ago. She often ate her anger, and bottled her rages no matter what the cause, making so many think her just a diminutive obedient mate, how wrong they were.

Her mate didn’t look to far into her being though, he rarely even delved into what she did when he wasn’t home, but she supposed he was a male inuyoukai so some things were not meant for female understanding, specially when your just supposed to stay home and be the good little mate. Being the youngest and the only female in her family, it had fallen upon her to take care of Souta and her jiji, Toto-Sai when her parents were no longer in this world. IT was easy for her to care for all of Sesshomaru’s needs when she had done so for her brother and grandfather for so long, it was an easy transition.

Her mother and father had been killed when she was young in some war she didn’t remember, but she had taken care of them both since then, learned that some things were just too male to deal with, and that it was wise to just let them sort things out for themselves. She had become submissive but it was because it was her duty as wife and mate to be so, she never let him see her anger, or her training, ‘if he did maybe he wouldn’t cheat on her so with work all the time‘, she thought with a rueful smile.

But even this thinking she blocked out, he was the provider, the alpha and so what if he took these things to extremes, that was what he felt he needed to do. It was her job to take care of him, even if he didn’t need to eat, or need her doing it, she could be a spoiled bitch and sit at home but it wasn’t who she was, and it wasn’t why she was bringing him something to eat, she hadn’t seen him at home more then a few hours in almost two weeks.

‘He’ll be so surprised‘, she mused happily as she pulled into the garage to his work place, smiling to herself as they let her pass, sometimes it was nice to be a Mrs. Taishou.. “Hey Shippo, don’t call up I want it to be a surprise. He hasn’t left has he?” the guard with stocky rust color hair shook his head ‘no.‘ and was rewarded when she gave the kitsune a winning smile, the poor guy still had to call someone though, not wanting to ruin the little ladies day he called the big boss, her mates father instead.

Waiting until she was in the elevator he called up, he knew that Lord Tiashou hadn’t left the office yet either, his car was still here, and he hadn’t seen anyone come to get him yet. Old Toga was just as bad a work-a-holic as his eldest son, mused the kitsune as he called up.

“Mr. Taishou’s office.” answered the bosses wife and assistant.

“Yes ma`am, this is Shippo in the garage, I wanted to call up and let you know Mrs. Taishou, Kagome is on her way up to see her mate, she wanted it to be a surprise but I have to inform someone that she’s on her way.”

“Oh thank you, I’ll be sure to tell Mr. Taishou.” answered Izayoi.

“Thanks ma`am.” answered Shippo releasing the button.

Izayoi smiled to herself, she was Toga’s second wife, well first wife really but his second ‘mate’ if you could call her that, though she wasn’t mate either. She buzzed her lovers office, a deep rich baritone answering.

“Yes?” Izayoi couldn’t help but swoon at the sound of her husbands voice, twenty plus years and he still had the power to make her knees weak. She could nearly hear his smile at her amorous scent even though he said nothing really she still felt the rush of warmth flood her lower abs, clearing her flushed nerves and face, she spoke.

“Kagome’s on her way up to see Sesshomaru, she wanted it to be a surprise but the guard in the garage called to let us know.” finished his lovely wife. Toga had already gotten up and was behind her before she finished talking haven scented her arousal in the air.

“Maybe Sesshomaru wont be the only Mr. Taishou to get a little play time with his wife at the office.” he wiggled his brow like the pervert the old dog really was and had her in his arms, the door shut, and barrier up before she could even squeal properly. He laughed to himself he really loved working late.

The ride to the near top always took a moment or so, she didn’t waste the time though, making sure she looked perfect in the reflection of the walls, unknown to her that she was being watched by security. Though honestly Kagome had nothing to fear from being watched, everyone was in this building was, the only offices that didn’t have someone watching was Toga, Sesshomaru and Inuyasha when he felt the need to come into work.

Running her hands through her raven hair for the last time, the door opened and Kagome walked out, the lobby was empty but this was nothing new considering the time of day, hell the sun was going down, everyone had already left but the work junkies like her mate.

Without much thought she went towards his office, but paused when she heard grunts from both male and females, blushing as her mind raced, her thoughts didn’t even give way to the idea that it was her mate using the office like this, rather then someone in the office getting it on in the bosses office. It was scandalous to do such things at work, let alone in the bosses office, he would smell it, and he’d come home in a fit, she giggled to herself thinking about it. Her curiosity got the better of her, and she opened the door silently, just enough to peak in, her heart nearly stopped at what she saw.

Before her was her Adonis, his pale body moving in ways it should only move for her. Bent over in front of him, on his desk was his assistant, a woman that had been in their home before, who she had consoled over man problems before, whom she had befriended. The shock registered first. The world had stopped moving, but her heart began to beat hammering harder and more deafening then anything she had ever felt in her being before was the blood rushing through her ears.

Kagome couldn’t process what was happening, the basket fell from her grasp toppling over spilling its contents as it hit the ground, but not disturbing either sexual partners grace or rhythm. Tears welled up in her eyes but they did not spill, though their scent mixed in the air with her distress, without thought or provocation, Kagome backed away slowly as if she could will it away from being real, will away the sight of their coupling, or the ache in her heart.

She made it to the elevator and nearly stumbled, a mantra of “This isn’t happening.” repeating over and over in her mind, while her inner inferno played the scene, scent, and moment over again, ‘it was happening.’ it said sounding positively livid, and that’s when her iron control began to slip hard and fast.

Her tears began to stream down her face as the elevator brought her downwards, fury cold and deadly began to bubble from within the depths of her being, her inferno doing nothing to quell the roaring flame of betrayal she felt. Eyes behind cameras watched as the little demoness began to heat up, a slight flame burning around her body, looking as though she had literally just spontaneously combusted. To the security guards horror it was just the beginning, the flame had started orange like any flame, but had begin to get hotter, deadlier, the sprinklers had come on, and yet the fire never died down they only grew.

By the time they were calling Lord Taishou’s office the camera in the elevator was gone, just fuzz on the screen. In the garage the elevator doors pinged, alerting Shippo that someone was coming down, he was not however prepared for the doors to come flying off, fire so hot it burned even through his protection of fox fire. Nor was he or any prepared for the building to rumble and quake from the aftermath that was one very livid Kagome. He looked up to see the happy demoness that he had let in a mere ten minutes before looking like a vision of the most deadly war goddess of hell he had ever seen, if it had not been for his mounting fear he would have fallen in love with the sight of her in all her glorious fury.

The whole of the building shook but Kagome paid no mind, nor did it register that she was nearly burning the building apart. She made her way over to Sesshomaru’s car, ‘being a horribly strong demoness that could fly with flames was not always a bad thing‘, she thought as she let herself and her inner inferno become one, ‘and cars were never that heavy‘. Above her, many floors above, Toga was getting his phone and calling his security desk to find out what the hell was happening, within moment he had a email, and saw that his little pup, Kagome, was the cause, that she was livid, he saw everything.

Hanging up quickly, he emailed his son, and called at the same time. Sesshomaru had just finished looking around to see if anything was damaged from the ‘earthquake’ when he picked up his phone, before pulling it away from his ear. “WHAT THE FUCK HAVE YOU DONE!?!?!?” roared his father. Sesshomaru could feel his father's rising youki the few floors above him, not really know what was going on he lost a bit of his control on his emotions having not been yelled at like that since he was a young pup, his beast suddenly felt very panicky, looking around he saw his office door open and the spilled meal on the floor.

“What are you talking about father?” asked Sesshomaru showing a calm he did not feel as his matting mark began to burn like nothing he had ever felt before with pure unbridled rage, rage that was not his own, he could hear his beast whimpering in pain.

“Look at your email Jackass!” bellowed his father. Sesshomaru checked his email, and saw his mate in the elevator, then the flames, then the door being thrown off, the connection was made rather quickly but he was brought out of his musings by Kagura’s scream. Turning to see what was going on, he jumped and pulled Kagura to the side just in time as his car came flying through the glass windows of his office, the air lock and spray of glass made a roar, before him looking like a flaming goddess of death was his tiny mate floating encased in black flames.

He watched in muted shocked awe, even his nakedness didn’t seem to register as his mate stepped into his office through the window, her flames going down just enough to keep from setting everything on fire, but still burning her footprint into solid marble floors. She didn’t spare him a glance as she ripped Kagura from his arms by the hair and flung her out the fortieth floor office window.

Her ire so beyond any words capable of description, the locks of his mating mark so set on fire with her infuriated rage that he could hardly breath. He was suffocating in his mates fury, the hurt feeling his betrayal had caused, his lungs felt as though they count take in air, and never in his life had he felt his heart so painfully squeezed.

His mind and feelings were in absolute turmoil, he wanted to comfort his mate but he was the cause of this, he didn’t even know what he could do to make this better, if there was anything that could be done, she would forever doubt him, never trust him again, and he felt painfully aware that she may want to leave him now.

He was worried, because seeing her like this, knowing that he caused this, made him worried for them, worried for her. He wasn’t worried about Kagura though, she was a wind youkai, she should have been able to slow her decent down, and in all honestly Kagome could kill her and there would be no wrong doing on her part. He stood there, and attempted to move towards Kagome, but he was sent flying back by her flames.

“I have nothing to say to you.” she hissed out low and venomously, before leaving the way she came, jumping from the window her body was encased once more in black flames, she was heading west towards what he could only hope was home. He had never in his life felt so much pain as he could feel right this moment his mating mark was beyond burning he could literally feel the flesh around her mark charring from her anger, fury, and sorrow, she had seen them.

He had wanted her passion, he had wanted her not to be so perfect and this was what he got, her passionate hatred of him. But this was not what he wanted not like this, he didn’t want her like this, he wanted anything but this. Falling to his knees for a moment, Sesshomaru caught himself, pulling himself out of this self doubt and began to get dressed he needed to talk to her, but before he could even find his shoes he was pent to a wall like he had been many times before in his life by his father, his father more specifically with scarlet crimson eyes.

“What have you done pup?” he growled out so angry he was speaking inu. Taking tentative sniffs he didn’t even need his son to answer to know. “Please tell me you didn’t!” he asked still in inu. Sesshomaru looked away unable to answer his sire. The shame that came off Toga’s son was palpable, the old dog pushed him harder into the wall breaking the drywall that held the thing up, Toga growled out to him.

“You have no idea why you were paired with her do you?” still growling in inu. “There are none stronger then she, your mate is the strongest, the best at everything youkai. There are no other females that can take her, not even your dam was as powerful as she.” he paused willing himself to stop squeezing the life from his eldest, and watching in aggravated glee as his son realized what he was saying.

“Her anger rivals that of both mine and her grandfather’s rolled into one, and the only being that has a chance at calming her down now is the one person who pissed her off. You son are a fucking moron! When I see Hatsumomo again, I‘m going to beat her into telling me who your real father is, because there is no possible way that MY SON did something so FUCKING STUPID!“ He roared while pausing to see if his son had understanding of what had happened, and needing to calm down because he was still nearly strangling his son.

“You do know that if you can’t calm her down, the government will try to kill her, as per the out of control youkai laws passed and if they do you die with her. Kami boy how could you be so fucking stupid? Inuyasha does things like this, NOT YOU!”roared his father, Sesshomaru still too ashamed to look at his father. Sesshomaru heard his father give and aggravated sigh, the old man sounded defeated, he knew the old dog loved Kagome like a daughter, like his own pup. “I’ve never said this in my whole life, but I’m honestly ashamed of you and what you’ve done. Go and try to calm your mate, pup.”

Toga watched as his son’s jaws clenched in tight pressure, sure that his fangs were possibly cracking. This was bad on so many levels, a scorned mate was, dangerous, not just to herself and her mate, especially to the one that wronged her, but the general population as well. Anything, and everything that got in her way would be expendable depending on how far gone the female was, and considering there was a car in his son’s fortieth floor office, he figured Kagome was pretty out of it.

Toga had a lot of things to do, he needed to call Toto-Sai, he hoped that his son would find Kagome. Okay, and safe, he needed to beat said son until he was black and blue, he also wondered where the female was that Sesshomaru had been seeing, he sighed, he had honestly thought he was done with taking care of Sesshomaru’s messes a long time ago, it seemed thought that he was wrong.

Kagome’s body moved like a phoenix, fire forming the mythical bird around her being as she soared towards her home, she didn’t really know what she was doing, she just felt like breaking everything that was precious to her mate. Hurt him as much as she could, making him feel pain that she felt, she wanted to cry until she died, and yet that same thought brought back such a tight hot wave of angry fury that she shook visibly. Her mind was going leaps and bounds faster then her body playing out just what she could do, it was in her nature, to burn or be burned, and she had been burned badly, her reaction to scorch was to be expected, but her anger, however brazen and warranted was just on the cusp of losing herself to her inner flame.

Losing herself was not something she wanted to do, that would be highly dangerous to everything, from people, to animals, property, and the environment, lightening would be involved, though she couldn’t lie she did really want to smite her mate right now. He had blocked her out for too long, and it had hurt more then anything but she had just worn a demure smile on her face, And look what it got her.

How many times had they laughed at her behind her back, how many times did they talk of her, of how she knew nothing of their affair. One thing was certain, once she put her mate back in check, she was going to kill Kagura, Naraku be damned. She felt bad that the one she felt and loved like a brother she would wrong so, but she felt confident that he wouldn’t stop her motives.

Naraku was a mix breed, a wind spider demon, a very odd guy if you didn’t know him, but once you made it past his barriers, well, he was absolutely wonderful. That was how Kagura had gotten her job, She was Naraku’s half sister, and as a favor Kagome had gotten her a job as Sesshomaru’s secretary.

She decided then that she didn’t want to hurt her friend, Kagura didn’t deserve death, that was far too nice, and well there were many things worse then death, Kagome smiled wickedly at the thought. Such a stupid female, Kagome thought, it was very apparent the wind youkai hadn’t ever thought to check out her power level, or perhaps she thought Kagome too weak minded to do anything, she was in for one hell of a shock, “Later.” she mused to herself as she neared her mansion.

Walking inside the whole house was on alarm, it seemed that they were called before hand she honestly didn’t care who called to warn them. The ancient inu demoness that was here as the head maid and someday would be nanny if she ever reproduced with her mate, Kaede came up to her.

Kagome was still livid, and the voice that came out reflected as such, the low, near sultry monotone angry voice stated calmly to the old maid, “You have ten minutes to clear this house out of anything that cannot be replaced. Get everyone out, and far away, I will not be responsible for anything after that time.” Kaede was reliable, the orders were given and the house was a blazed with workers doing their mistresses order, they could all feel how utterly cold the air was in the house, the frigid crackling of power that their usually happy mistress was emitting.

Not all of the house knew what was going on, but most did. She didn’t have the nose that most of the inus did, and none of them had the right to tell her what their master and lord were up to, that he often came home smelling of another.. She was so sweet, and they all knew she would blow one day. They had a betting pool on it and even practiced drills when neither of their lord or lady were home on possibilities of exit route and strategies, so Kagome though slightly shocked at their efficiencies said nothing as she slowly walked up to their bedroom.

She walked to her vanity, sitting there was a picture of them in their wedding garb, he had never liked to have pictures around but it had been one she was allowed. The rest of the house didn’t even seem to be bothered when they heard the master’s bedroom window shatter, nor did those outside at the moment bat as lash as they dodged the flaming 9”x12” silver framed picture that came flying out at high rates of flaming speed.

Kagome sat there for a moment, looking at her self, her delicate fingers tracing her pert soft pink lips, before running over her straight nose, her fingers arching over her delicate brow, before looking deeply into her own eyes. The hurt and sorrow she saw there was like nothing she’d ever seen, not even her best gal pal Sango and her ever cheating mate to be Miroku. Sango’s eyes never looked so sad and hollow. She didn’t want to, but she couldn’t help it, she let herself cry, a silent sob racked her body, rocked her soul to the core with the pain he’d caused her.

She looked at her hair while allowing the tears to flow, bringing the locks to her watery eyes, seeing if she could figure out, why she wasn’t good enough for him. And then that thought hit her, Why wasn’t she good enough? What had she done wrong? Or what hadn’t she done that he had wanted of her.

It didn’t matter now, if she could get the council to assist her, she’d have them dissolve the mating bond, and if they wouldn’t, she would make him pay for this for a long time to come. She didn’t know how long it had been as she sat and cried thinking or the life they had and the life she wanted but never got, but she figured now was as good a time as any to take what she wanted, and to hell with the rest.

Kagome got up and walked to the closet, starting there, she looked around the immaculately built, tailored room. The closet was something that many females would die for, Armani suits, Versace and Vera Wang dresses lined the walls, apparel folded neatly and orderly. Armoni dress shoes, Jimmy Choo’s, Minolo Blahnic’s and many more sat at attention, in flats, and 3” - 4” heels. Jewels sat in open cases, she pulled out a box of heirloom pieces, filled hair combs, pins, necklaces, and earrings, she walked out the main door, there stood Kaede as patient as ever a knowing frown on her face.

She figured the old inu knew just what had happened and so neither said a word as Kagome turned away after handing her the box and going back to the closet. Jewels were nothing to her, cloths, shoes, shopping, cars, all nothing to her, she didn’t even bat a lash as she set the room on fire and didn’t look back. Keade was in front of Kagome, the old inu kept an eye on her mistress, but didn’t interfere with anything.

The ancient inu watched with sorrow filled eyes the hurt that their lord had inflicted upon their lady. She made note that when the Lady was done putting her mate in check Keade was going to give the pup and ear full! She had been there for the birth of his grandsire, his sire and himself, there was no way she would allow the pup to act as such.

Keade watched as Kagome destroyed everything around her without mercy, with pain lacing her anger, there was no emotion as she picked things up and burned them, windows shattered, mirrors broke, books and vases were exploded. They seemingly made their way to the kitchen, were she watched the lady of the house destroy the expensive china, set the place aflame before she watched her lady do into the large living room to retrieve the fire poker. By now all the servants were outside listening to the massacre of material wealth at the hands of the very pissed off Lady Kagome.

They watched as Jaken, the eldest servant walked out of the house shaking his head followed by a distraught Old Keade, it seemed like their lady was in over drive as all they heard was her mournful cries, and things breaking. Old Jaken and Old Keade made it to the rest of them, when the house literally quieted, an eerie silence found its way on the grounds of this Taishou estate, but just as it seemed someone was about to ask what was happening the house went up in raging black flames.

They all gasped, it was tragically beautiful honestly, some cowered in fear at the fury that was behind the flames, others watching in muted awe as their mistresses anger and fury grew, the flames billowing upwards to the heavens.. That’s how Sesshomaru found his home.

He was forced to gather his energy and form a ki cloud, loathe as he was to admit it, his mate was far faster in her mode of travel, he had kept up with her for only a moment before she was nearly out of sight. The whole way he could only feel what she felt and could only guess what he would come home to, what he would have to deal with when he got there. He could feel her sad curiousness, and could only guess that she was wondering what she had done to deserve this, in truth it had been nothing really, she had been too good for him.

He sighed feeling her sorrow, her anger, her fury, he was uncertain of himself for the first time in hundreds of years, his mate was livid, and crashing through emotions at record rates. His father was pissed too, he didn’t even want to think of what would happen with Old Toto-Sai, Old Keade, or Souta found out and found him.

Toto-Sai was going to be bad enough and Old Keade, well she still puts his own sire in place which is frightening to think about at all, and then there was her brother, his near match in masculine power when Kagome and him had mated five years ago. Unlike his own siblings, Kagome and Souta were very close, and having two male fire elemental on his case was not what he wanted to deal with.

He had just arrived at his home, his mating mark having been going in spikes of fury for the last few minutes when he saw Jaken and Kaede coming out, they didn’t seem to notice him, which was odd. Sesshomaru was moving forward when Keade’s ancient eyes caught him, the look of cold fury she sent him made him feel ashamed of himself, that he might just tuck his tail and whine, and then the house exploded in black flames.

He heard his house staff gasps, his home had just exploded but taking a look it seemed as though they had gotten a lot of the precious items out of the home before Kagome went insane. “Where is she?” his dark foreboding voice asked them all, they were all looking at him, hate clearly written on their faces and in their eyes, he had never experiences this before. But it was Keade’s old voice that cut back at him in greeting.

“Ye should know pup. Ye deserve everything she puts ye through.” hissed Keade making him flinch again, “Good for nothing pup.” the old inu grumbled. “Wait until your dam finds out what you’ve put her through.” and instantly Sesshomaru cringed, if he feared his father's wrath, then he was terrified of his mother, and the subject matter was extremely difficult when it came to Hatsumomo.

Hatsumomo who was Lady of the Western lands to this day, who had been for nearly one thousand years, who had in the last quarter century had been replaced by a human. Cheating mates were not something that anyone could talk about with her, and he suddenly thanked kami that he hadn’t reproduced yet, grand-pups were probably the only thing that would allow him to keep his genitals safe from his mothers wrath, that is if he still had them after facing Kagome.
