A Broken Love by kakuya

Deceit

Chapter One

As soon as the sword passed through her mid section she knew he had given up on her. Love was broken and all that was left was the bitter remains. Lies had twisted their love until nothing but hurt and hate remained.

"Sesshomaru..." she gasped out. The silver haired youkai just looked at her with disgust.

"Your pitiful existence doesn't even deserve to even whisper out my name." He spat at her. "You are here by banished from the western domain. If you are found in this area you will be killed on the spot with no remorse. Furthermore you are stripped of you title as the western general and we shall remove the mating mark you bear and you will be nothing. Do have any request or last things to say? " He added coldly. He removed the sword and the woman gasped in pain. Her blood smeared the sword and Sesshomaru looked at it with disgust.

"Sesshomaru. I have done no wrong." Said the woman as she held her midsection. She began to break down into sobs. "You know perfectly well that I would never kill your ward Rin. I would rather kill myself than harm one of your pack members."

"Woman you are lucky that she ran away and told Jaken. Your attempts on her life nearly were successful. You should die for you endeavor on Rin's life." He spat acidly. "She was so scared of you she had to beg for Jaken to tell me."

He grabbed her neck and retrieved a small dark vial from his hakamas and held the woman close and poured the dark contents of the vial on her neck and held her fast as she began to writhe in pain. "This pain will never fade. You will never be a part of this Sesshomaru's perfect life."

The once beautiful crescent marks that displayed the mating mark were now twisted into something horrid. The mark turned into kanji and it spelt out the word whore. But nothing was to compare to the pain that the beautiful woman felt.

Her heart felt as if iron bars were being constricted around her heart and the bars burned painfully. The worst thing that happened was the essence that her and Sesshomaru had created from the joining of their souls were being torn apart and the pain was unbearable. Each pull away from him she began to lose the life she once knew.

When it was all done nothing but the pain remained. She closed her eyes and went back to a place in her head where no one could hurt her. Her body fell limp in his grasp and she stopped breathing. She was not dead but only her soul had left her body. Her soul had gone somewhere inside of Sesshomaru without him knowing. Her aura flickered and then disappeared. Sesshomaru released his grasp and walked away leaving the woman on the cold, harsh and unforgiving forest ground.

"I still love you. Yet she tore us apart as if it was nothing. I love you. My soul will always be yours along with my heart. Always." She whispered. Sesshomaru heard her whisper and he turned around and summoned his whip and slashed it across her chest.

"She would never lie to me unlike you traitor. I want nothing of yours. Your heart was never mine. Your intentions were made clear." He snarled.

...........................................

Sesshomaru returned to his castle beyond livid. He slammed the doors of the castle open and he growled out a warning to his brother Inu-Yasha.

The young pup stood at the pillar waiting to talk to Sesshomaru. And for the first time the look of a young child was gone and pure devastation was on his face.

He had seen Sesshomaru throw Kagome out of the house. He had seen the confusion in Kagome's face along with the utter terror of the anger that her mate Sesshomaru gave off. His eyes had flashed from the normally soft golden eyes to a blood red.

"Sesshomaru..." the pup started but he couldn't say anything. His golden eyes were clouded with pure devastation and a lone tear streaked down the twelve years old face. "Where is Kagome?"

"That traitor shall no longer live at the House of the Moon." Roared Sesshomaru. Inu-Yasha looked in terror at his older brother who looked as if he was going to fall apart. Sesshomaru stormed away and slammed his door shut and Inu-Yasha winced.

Rin came in skipping with a bright smile on her face. The seventeen year old smiled at Inu-Yasha and patted him on the head. She bent down to his level and whispered into his ear and he shuddered.

"No one can have Sesshomaru but me." She whispered softly. Inu-Yasha's eyes widened in surprise and he pushed her away and backed up slowly.

Rin smirked at the obvious confusion in the child's face. She shook her head and made a face at Inu-Yasha.

"Did you lie?" choked out Inu-Yasha. Rin just chuckled and walked away.

Inu-Yasha ran out the door and into the forest and began to try and sniff out Kagome's scent and ran to a clearing to where her scent was the strongest.

He was scared to see Kagome's lovely body soaked with her blood and she was starring vacantly at the sky as if the last thing she wanted to do was stare at the starry sky. Her body was propped up on a tree and it looked as if she had dragged herself to the base of the tree. There was a dark blood smear on the light brown dirt. The kimono was that of a servants and it looked more red than white.

"Kagome-nii-chan?" he whispered in fear. He walked over and knelt by him. Kagome's dull blue eyes flashed and she slowly turned her head to him. Her eyes were full of torture and pure pain.

"Inu... I am so sorry I couldn't be a better sister to you." She managed to say. Her voice broke and tears began to fall. Drops of water fell from the sky as if the gods understood what was happening to the poor woman.

"Kagome-nii-chan. Rin was planning-"

"Don't worry about it. She was planning this for a long time. She hated me because I had gotten the chance to love Sesshomaru. To have a chance a true love." She said sadly. She suddenly had a coughing attack and blood began to seep out of her mouth. Inu-Yasha cried and laid his down on her chest and cried fresh tears. "Do not cry for me. I deserve this."

"Iie!"

"No Inu. I did. If Sesshomaru did not trust me and would believe such a blatant lie than I could only imagine why."

"Kagome-nii-chan! Please I want you to be my sister and I want you to be there for me when I grow up and be stronger! I want you to love me as a brother and a protector!" Inu-Yasha cried. He clutched at her once white kimono now getting her hands dirtied with her blood.

"Take this." She slowly went to the necklace that hung around her neck and tugged at it weakly. The chain snapped and Kagome presented it shakily to the silver Inu. "I want you to have it. Wear it proudly. It is the relic of the dark inu's."

The silver chain held a beautiful crystallized crescent moon. The rock was a startling blue color and it reflected off a beautiful blue light that was the color of her eyes.

"Remember this, always love and take chances. Because before you know it, it could be ripped away from you. Always trust your intended or mate. Tell Sesshomaru he will always be on my mind; he will always be my heart and my soul."

"Tell him I love him more than any one person could. And that I took a chance and I was happy with the love that I was given. I could never wish for more. Even though my ending was not good I was happy with the life with him."

He felt her hand embrace him and he leaned into the touch. He suddenly felt her heart rate slow down and he began to panic. He howled and howled. He prayed to god that someone would hear him and come and help.

He looked around and saw the trees rustle. An ookami youkai looked at the small inu youkai that covered the body of a female inu. The ookami had sea blue eyes and brown hair that was in a high ponytail. He was very muscular.

The ookami looked in pity and he recognized the body as the former Western Lady. The younger Inu looked pleadingly at the ookami. The ookami sighed and motioned for the pup to move. The inu fell down to his knees.

"Please take her and heal her! I'll do anything! Just please help her! Please!" begged Inu-Yasha. The ookami nodded and picked up the female and winced at the cuts and the laceration on her chest she had. He looked at her shoulder and his eyes at the marred mating mark. This female had to have been strong to survive that.

"I will take her to the Eastern lands. There she shall remain and you may visit her. If any guards stop you, just tell them that Kouga is letting you see the female. What is her name?" asked Kouga.

"Her name is Kagome, Kouga-sama." Inu-yasha said quietly. "Thank you." The ookami began to walk away and the last thing Inu-Yasha saw was Kagome's slender hand hanging lifelessly.

"Do not let Sesshomaru near her. He will only hurt her more. Please. When he learns the truth he will try and make it up to her."

"What did he do to her pup?" Kouga questioned.

"He was tricked by his ward Rin into thinking Kagome tried to kill her." stated Inu-Yasha.

"I will honor your wishes pup. She will be taken care of. She will become part of my pack."

.........................................

Sesshomaru was tearing everything in his room up. He was tearing everything up that reminded him of the traitor. Bitter tears trailed down his face and he growled loudly. It seemed like she was inside of him.

He ripped open the doors of the wardrobe and ripped up all of Kagome's clothes. The expensive silk was nothing but ribbons. Her scent was driving him insane. It sticked to him like water to cloth.

There was a knock on the door and Sesshomaru smelled the air and couldn't smell anything. He went to the door and wrenched it open. It was Rin.

"Why couldn't I smell you?" he asked. He tried to control his still lasting anger. He rubbed his temples and tried to calm his beast.

"Because I wanted to make sure Kagome wasn't here." She said quietly. Sesshomaru's eyes narrowed. "She scares me. I thought I was being the perfect daughter her."

"Release your scent. She no longer remains in this house." He ordered. His saw Rin's eyes shift nervously. Then he heard his younger brother run to his room.

"You are a real bastard Sesshomaru." The younger inu yelled. The scent of Kagome and her blood hung heavily to Inu-Yasha. "Kagome gave you her life, her love and her soul. And what do you do?! You throw it back in her face for you bitch of a ward."

He pointed towards Rin with a shaking finger Kagome's blood was all over his hand. "She tricked you and yet she still stands in front of you. She hides her scent so you don't smell the scent of pure deceit or the malice towards Kagome. Her hands are stained with Kagome's blood. Kagome loved you more than you can ever know."

"Inu-Yasha! I suggest you shut up! Your brother won't believe a word you say to him. If anything your hands are stained with her disgusting blood." Yelled Rin. She raised her hand to hit Inu-Yasha but it was grabbed by none other than Sesshomaru.

"Do not raise your hand to the next heir to the throne. Now I order you as lord of the Western lands, release your scent!" Sesshomaru barked out.

Rin shivered and did so reluctantly.
