Chapter 14: Ruin

It was like a reflection of the past stood before him. Weak and curled in on herself, Kagome reminded Katsu of that first time. Only there wasn’t any trees or river, there was no rain to saturate them to the bone.

The human woman that he fell in love with was safe.

Still, he was reminded of Izayoi as he stared at Kagome. It was sickening to see what his son had done. He knew the truth though. There was no one to blame for his son’s actions, not even his son.

It was only him that could shoulder that blame. He should have been a better parent to his children.

He should have been there to help and teach Sesshomaru. Instead, he had allowed his mate to have her way. They were both scarred by the loss of their children.

She had suffered more than he ever could. She had carried their hope, their future inside of her…only to feel it die. Each time she had been desperate to replace it, wanting their child to grow and live.

The sight of her covered in her own blood filled his mind. Her beautiful face crushed with the pain of losing another child to death. it twisted his insides as he remembered her pained screams filling the air.

Sesshomaru had been their miracle.

He stared at Kagome as she laid there on the floor and felt his failure keenly. Sesshomaru had been their miracle yet their miracle lacked compassion.

“Stay away from me,” she whispered softly.

He ignored her words and walked slower to her. It only led her  to crawl away from him. He followed her slowly, feeling all the sicker as she tried to flee from him. She had been strong, he knew that, had seen it when she had fought at Inuyasha’s side.

Yet she crawled. Like a bug.

He had seen the compassion in his eldest. A compassion that he thought didn’t exist inside Sesshomaru. He had seen the love his son had for his children and this woman.

He saw her conflicting emotions. She wanted to be happy, to raise his grandchildren. But he saw how she was broken, it was the same as when he had first met Izayoi.

“LEAVE ME ALONE!” She suddenly screamed as she found herself trapped in a corner.

He stopped and stared at her. “There’s nothing to be afraid of, I’m not going to hurt you.”

That was when she looked at him. Tears ran down her cheeks, her expression was distraught. “You understand nothing.”

“I understand more than you think,” he told her.

“..no, you don’t. Not one of you understands it.” She seemed to lose herself as she thought of that. She looked down as one of her hands when to her shoulder. It wasn’t for long though before she was looking at him again. “He never hurt me.”

“What?”

“He never hurt me physically besides when he raked his claws down my back. Beside that he was gentle, gave me every pleasure.”

Katsu said nothing, unsure of what had her talking. There was more to this then the nonsense that she was telling him. So he just listened.

“That was worse than anything ever done to me,” she whispered. “I thought we were friends once…or at the least, comrades against the same enemy. It was all lies though in the end.”

“I’m sure that-”

“SHUT UP!”  She screeched out at him suddenly. “You weren’t there. You weren’t a parent to either of your sons or none of this would have happened.”

The fear in her eyes pained him and it told him a secret that no other knew. She never blamed Sesshomaru for his actions. He knew it was the truth because she looked at him with the same fear that he had seen before.

A fear that he had seen only reflected from his enemies. A fear that he had once seen from his son.

He had known his mate had wanted to keep their son from him. She had blamed him for the death of all the others and she feared losing their son. He had feared the same, still did for both of his Children. He had given his life for them to have a future.

In that moment, it only served to feel like he had ruined those futures that he had wanted to protect.

“What is a parent, Kagome?” He asked her suddenly. “You are a mother so you must know what a parent is, correct?”

“Why are you-”

“That’s not an answer, Kagome,” he cut in. “I’ll tell you what a parent is since you don’t want to answer me.”

“You didn’t give her a chance, Katsu.” It was Enma who growled that. “Let her answer before you decide to give it to her.”

It was then that Kagome’s power only seem to grow even stronger. The walls and floor around them started to catch on fire from the air alone. The blue of her eyes darkened into a deep purple. Though he was dead, the sight of her eyes frightened him.

Everything screamed at him to run, to escape her gaze.

He couldn’t understand why that was. He had seen and experienced countless things from countless lands when he had been alive. He had never felt a moment of fear in all of his life. The only exception had been when he had almost lost Izayoi and Inuyasha.

Even then it had been a fear for them rather than himself. He found himself afraid for his own safety in that moment. It was like Kagome was the greatest foe that he had ever faced.

It didn’t change the fact that she was a part of his family and needed help.

She stood up then, the flames surrounded her, her clothes aflame. Her eyes continued to change in hue. They glared at him with hatred as she answered his question from before.

“A parent is someone that loves, cares for, and guides their children no matter the blood ties between them. You failed at that task,” she hissed the last part.

“I did,” He agreed. He had failed both his sons with his death. That would no longer be the case. “You would fail your children as well.”

“Yes,” she agreed with him. Her eyes suddenly becoming lighter. “I have been failing them since the moment they were born. It would be better if I had stayed dead.”

“You’re no good to them dead!” He growled at her.

“I’M NO GOOD FOR THEM AT ALL!!!” she screamed at the top of her lungs. Her hair seemed to catch on fire yet it didn’t burn. “I’M CORRUPTED AND TAINTED. I’M NOT EVEN SURE THAT I’M HUMAN ANYMORE! I DON’T FEEL HUMAN ANYMORE!!!”

He didn’t think as he saw her crumble. He just acted on his need to hold her, to which she only seemed to react negatively to. She tried desperately to escape his hold on her. Her body burning him as he continued to hold her against her will.

She cursed him, her words foul filth that he had never heard from her before. There was also such hatred for him in that moment.

Then she was gone.

The power, the flames, everything that she had created including herself was suddenly gone. His arms were empty and the chamber looked untouched. Katsu looked around, completely confused by it.

“What happened?”

“She left obviously…Emma, please tell Saburo that he can have that new palace.”

Katsu turned to the couple, confused as to what Enma said. “What?”

Though burned and in pain, the ruler of hell gave him a rather annoyed look. “Are you a child? Do I need to explain everything to you about what just happened? Because I would really rather not if it’s all the same to you.”

“I realize that she is gone but she’s human,” Katsu growled as his frustration over everything began to overflow. He had kept his calm for Kagome despite being out of his element.

He had just wanted to help her. It only felt like he had made it worse in the long run.

“She’s more than human…that much I’m certain of at least,” Enma told him.

“More than human? That tells me nothing about her, it tells me nothing in how to help her. Do you enjoy being useless, boy?” Katsu scolded.

Enma growled in return and moved to sit up, only his mate kept him from doing so. The concern in her eyes reminded him of both his beloveds. Nori had once showed him such concern before life had scarred her.

It only served to fill him with pain for all that he had lost. He had gained so much yet it felt more and more like he was losing things of late.

He looked away from them, still feeling Enma’s glare upon him. “We both know that some humans have more in them…after all, you made such a child.”

OoOo

The music filled the air with a sweet sound that accompanied the moans and gasps of pleasure. It had always been his favorite thing, the only thing that could soothe him. Gasps and moans were the only lullaby he had ever known. It was the only one that he wanted.

It would be the only lullaby his own children would have.

His children would listen as he fucked their mother and his concubines. Everything else was a lie. Pleasure and power were the only real things that one could have.

They would learn that lesson as soon as possible or they would never last.

He watched as one of his favorites as she rode. Her purple eyes glowed in the weak light of the candles. Her long black hair was a curtain that hid the lord’s face from his view.  Her eyes watched him as she took the lord’s dick deep inside her. Her eyes plead with him for something.

He simply gave her a smile.

She could fuck as many men as she desired; they both knew that she would never conceive. It was an impossibility for all his concubines, for all of his toys. He had made sure to cut those organs out of them himself.

They knew that he would never gift them with a child. No man, demon or god could because of him. So many of them despaired over his actions.

She only smiled at him for the gift that she knew it was. Even if it was fake, she would still smile at him. It was like a dog that had been beaten begging to be pet by it’s owner.

It amused him to know end for that alone. They both knew that he could restore what he had taken from her.

It was a tool he used to keep her obedient. He knew that she hated him. Everyone did and always would. An only son born to a weak concubine was always meant to be hated.

Sakura had been the only one to be loved.

It brought him such joy that the bitch was dead.

“Come,” he ordered when the lord seem like he was just about to reach his climax. She obeyed without question, getting off the wet dick just as it released it’s seed.

She crawled to him just as he liked his women to. She crawled into his lap, her face rubbed lovingly against his loins. He patted her head like one did to their pet and he saw a flash of anger in her eyes for a moment.

It made him jump under the cloth. “Are you angry?”

“A little,” she told him honestly. “I wanted to enjoy that seed of his. I’m hungry.”

“You’re more a pig than a spider, my sweet…I have a task for you.”

“Oh? Then I’ll get a reward if I do well, right?” her eyes shone like jewels and fangs ripped free of the human facade she presented. “Let me have my fill of human lives and seed again.”

He smiled, liking the thought of seeing her surrounded by human men. All of them too absorbed in fucking his concubine. So much so that they won’t notice that each time they came, she would kill one of them.

He wondered if it would be one of his broken little girls or if it would be Kagome that he would shove his dick into her mouth.
