The demon hated to admit it, but he missed Kagura sorely. Her fierceness, her strength, he missed all that and more.

He had often heard the saying, 'you don't know what you have until its gone,' but he never understood it, but now he does.

At first he had tried to deny it. Say it was only sadness he felt and nothing else, but that is a lie. There was more to it, then saddness. He had been arguing with himself for months, until he finally realized that he wanted her back, one way or another and by any means necessary.

As soon as he came to that conclusion and got it into his head, he thought out a plan and began working. It would require a lot of time, energy, and people, but he would do it and happily reap the rewards when Kagura was in his arms again.

The first thing he did was sent Rin to live in the village. She would grow up there, have friends and live a regular human life, as she should. He took Jaken back to his castle with him where he set his plan in motion.

The first thing Sesshomaru did when he got back to his castle was send out letters requesting strong demon females, high born or low born, noble or peasant. It didn't matter, as long as they were strong.

Every female demon in Japan came to the West, with the hopes of becoming the new lady and Sesshomaru's wife.

He examined each one as if he was looking at a rare diamond. He looked closely at their features, their hair lengths, their bodies, and most importantly, their strength. He found their flaws and their perfections. If he was going to bring Kagura back, he would bring her back stronger and better than before.

Out of the thousands who gathered in the West, Sesshomaru choose four. These four were the prettiest of the prettiest and they were strong.

One female had red hair and curves that would drive a man wild. She had the power of fire. Her fire could reduce you to ash in a matter of half seconds. She proclaimed she could make the hottest fire in the world.

Another had skin so glowing and beautiful, you would think the gods themselves molded her. She possessed the power of Earth. She could cause mountains to collapse or send boulders the sizes of castles raining down upon her enemies.

The third demon had the whitest teeth he had ever seen, and the same ruby red eyes as Kagura. She possessed the power to control all water, ranging from lakes to oceans.

The last demon had thick black hair and a face of what one would consider an angel. She had high cheek bones and plump lips, begging to be kissed. She possessed the power of wind. She could make wind as sharp as blades, the same way his Kagura could.

Sesshomaru dismissed all four of the demons from his castle, without even a glance. They were heartbroken, they thought that at least one of them would be picked as his bride.

Later on that night, Sesshomaru went out into the forests, catching each of their scents. He found each and every single one of them and took them back to a hidden location inside a cave, far from his castle. He told each girl, that he had been a fool and wasn't thinking straight when he dismissed them.

The demons then became happy that they was the ones chosen and wouldn't stop talking about their wedding day and their future children. Sesshomaru barely paid any attention to them, only nodding his head if they asked a question.

Once they reached the inside of the cave, they would walk deeper and deeper into their doom. At the deepest part of the cave, there was a room. It was a special room he had created to bring Kagura back to life. It was equipped with all of the necessary tools needed.

He had chains, ropes, knives of all shapes and sizes, and lastly a bed. The bed was made of the softest feathers he could find and was neatly decorated to his taste.

The women would go into the room first so they wouldn't be able to escape, then realize that something was terribly wrong here. Once they figured that out, he would knock them unconscious and shackle them to the walls.

He led each girl to his chamber individually, so while one slept, he could be working on the other.

The first person he began with was the red headed demon. When Kagura was alive, she had such beautiful womanly curves, so it was only right that she had those same curves when she came back to life.

She had awaken first since she was the first person he kidnapped. He placed her on the soft bed, chaining her down, and stared into her eyes. He had to gag her, lest she scream for help and give it away to the other women he had yet to lure here.

Even though she couldn't speak, her eyes were begging. They were wide with fear and tears were prickling in her eyes. He rubbed a pale finger softly on the side of her face. "Don't worry, it will be all over soon." He said soothingly, as if he was comforting a crying baby. That only made her cry and shake harder.

He took a ragged edged knife and began slicing into her neck. He didn't really care about how it looks because all he needed was her body. Once she was beheaded, he tossed her head into the corner, next to a chest.

He placed her body on the ground, gently, and grabbed the next demon.

This demon was the one with the pretty skin, skin that would soon be Kagura's. Unfortunately for her, she won't receive a quick death. He had nothing against her nor did he wish to see her in agony, but he needed her skin. He couldn't kill her quickly like he did the first one, because he could accidentally cut her and get blood on her skin.

He had to be patient and slow with her. He grabbed a small curved knife, used for flaying and set to work. Silently and calmly, he stuck the knife under her skin removing pieces of her flesh, while she thrashed. The thrashing got so bad that he had to get more chains to hold her down.

Fortunately, he didn't mess up or ruin her skin. By the time he was finished skinning her, she looked like a piece of raw meat. She was still alive though, so he slit her throat, ending her suffering. He placed her skin next to the demon's curves and got to work on the third one.

The third one had the pretty teeth and ruby eyes. He used a par of pliers and one by one pulled out each of her teeth while she screamed in pain. Once all of her teeth were removed, his next objective was her red eyes. He killed her so she wouldn't move and he accidentally rip or cut her eye open.

Sesshomaru simply used a pair of tweezers and pulled out both pair of red eyes, then placed them next to the teeth, skin, and curves.

The last demon was the wind demon. She looked slightly similar to Kaguara, so he gently and gracefully began cutting her neck from her body. Unlike the first one who he was careless with, this one he placed all the care in the world on. His knife was long and sharp and he slowly rocked his hand back and forth cutting veins, arteries, and vocal cords while the woman died slowly.

After he removed her head, he was finally finished. He had a head, beautiful skin, white teeth, a curvy body, and a pair of red eyes, his Kagura would be with him very soon.

He began by placing the curvy body on the blood soaked bed and removing her skin before sewing on the skin of the beautiful demon. He then grabbed the head and took out all of her teeth, replacing them with the pretty white teeth. Once that was done, he plucked out the eyes and replaced them with the red ruby eyes. He then sewed the head onto the body and Kagura was almost complete.

Almost

There was one last thing he needed that none of the female demons could give him. He walked over to the chest on the floor and unlocked it. What was inside the chest was extremely special and he kept it guarded. He opened the chest and gently grabbed the small piece of flesh that was inside. The flesh belonged to no other than, the deceased half demon Naraku.

While inside of his body spider body, he had taken some of Naraku's flesh to restore Kagura with. He cut open the body of his now Kagura, before dropping the flesh into it and sewing it back up. Almost instantly, a spider mark appeared on her back.

Sesshomaru smiled. He then took the heart of the wind demon and held it into the air.

"I call upon the soul of the wind sorceress Kagura." He repeated those words, five times until the heart in his hand disappeared and a white circle appeared, which was Kagura's soul. He guided the soul into the body on the bed and waited.

Suddenly, the mouth opened and a scream was emitted. The voice sounded just like Kagura's. She sat up on the bed and looked at her new body, before looking at Sesshomaru and fainting.

He took her from the cave and back to his castle where he sat her down in a hot bath tub full of water. He himself needed a bath. With all of the blood and gore on him, one would think he just left a battlefield. He washed away any blood that was on her and marveled at her soft skin and ran his fingers through her black hair.

Sesshomaru hadn't felt this happy in a long time. Not only was he able to bring Kagura back, but he was also able to bring her back on his first try. Not to many can say that, but not to many have Sesshomaru's power either.

Once she was clean, he placed her onto the bed in his room and let her sleep. He knew the earlier reaction was probably because she was scared and didn't know what happened to her.

She woke up sometime later and looked at him with fear in her eyes. He took her hand in his. "Do not be afraid, you are here and I will protect you now." He promised, and he would keep that promise.

"What happened to me, I thought I died?" She looked at her body and rubbed all over herself to make sure she was real.

"You did die, but I brought you back."

"How?" she asked.

"I went through a lot of trouble, but it was worth seeing you again." He didn't want to go into detail about how he cut and skinned women alive so she could live, but he didn't want to lie either.

"Thank you." She finally said and hugged him. He hugged her back before taking her face into his large hands. He stared into her eyes then looked at her body, congratulating himself on his achievement.

"Be my wife, be mine." He said, in all seriousness.

She kissed him once again and let her tongue play inside of his mouth. "Always and forever." She answered. "Not even death can keep us apart."

"Not even death." He repeated.
