Wishing by Ai

I wish for her.

I do not own InuYasha.

My name is Sesshomaru and I am one of the four Cardinal rulers of Nippon. My territory is the West. I inherited this land and all that dwells within it the moment my father, the great General, perished defending a human hime and her newborn son. A hanyou, who, unfortunately, is my half brother. But that is neither here nor there.

For many years this Sesshomaru walked to path of Supreme Conquest. A desolate and bloody road that I now realize is but a dream. The world cannot be ruled by one being. I gave up this path for one reason. Her name is Kagome.

I first encountered this strange girl when I took the black pearl from my half-brothers eye. She was clad in strange garments, and for some unfathomable reason, at my brothers side. Didn't she recognize a fool when she saw one?

In that first encounter with her, I lost my arm, and the Tessaiga. We would have other encounters, and some she didn't know of.

Over time she consumed my thoughts more and more. At first I hated her for it-loathed her and reveled in the thought of her destruction. Then came Rin.

Rin. My daughter Rin. Her presence reminded me of the miko and I found the thoughts of her blood on my claws began to sicken me. Kagome was all laughter and innocence, much like my Rin. How could I hurt her?

My pack never went to far from my female. Yes, that is what she, Kagome, has become to mean to me. Me female, my mate, bitch of my heart. Her place is by my side, alpha female of the pack. And yet. And yet...

The sight of me repulses her. She hates me-no that is not right, she doesn't have it in her to hate-being fed lies by my loathesome half-brother, her view of my is slightly askew. And so, I wait for her to see. Her eyes are still shut. 

And that brings me to now. I sit here in the treetops watching over her. She sleeps soundly in her strange bedding, her kit curled by her. She moonlight shines down on her, silver and gibbous. The moon, the bewitcher of beasts, the mother of the darkest devils. The moon nears her peak and my blood sings in a primitave joy.

Of few things I am certain. Naraku will die, I will surpass my father in greatness, and Kagome will stand by my side for as long as I live.

For the moon is my mistress and Kagome is my mate.
