Sesshomaru thought of his next cause of action, his beast had been on high, pressuring him to get a mate and at this pace, he could go on a rampage and take anyone so he decided to leave his palace to clear his mind and hide the fact he was indeed troubled.
Lords don't waste time in taking mates so their beast doesn't go on a rampage during mating season or when they were fed up, it was dishonorable for a Lord to take a mate out of a rampage because that way their line will be sullied and unclean. His father took a mate in his mother because he wanted to keep his bloodline pure but did not love her so he brought himself low to meddle with a human which bred that halfbreed. He wasn't going to be like his father. And he hasn't found a worthy mate yet so he'll just continue ruling his lands until one comes around but until then he'll keep satisfying his beast with concubines.

Kagome sighed as she carried the heavy bag out of the well, she brought more things for this trip, school was on vacation and she could afford to stay longer.
Breathing heavily having finally made it out of the well, she was surprised Inuyasha wasn't waiting for her as usual to help her out. She looked around and saw one Kikyo's soul collectors hovering around the sky of the nearby forest 'he must be there, that's why he can't smell that I'm back' she fought to fight back the tears threatening to fall.
She was just going to storm off to the village but her curiosity got the better of her as she made her way to Kikyo's supposed location.
Getting closer and closer to the spot she'd hoped her ears were playing tricks on her as she heard moaning and sound of wet skin slapping. Her heart was telling her to run from the scene but her brain wanted clarification as she edged on further to behold a sight her fragile heart wasn't ready for.
Underneath the umbrella of a tree was Kikyo back pressed against it as Inuyasha continued to have his way with her. Kikyo noticed Kagome first and smirked, moaning louder just to spite her.
Kagome thought to make her presence known but decided against it as she walked away. She managed to get her bag to the village and told everyone she had more stuff to bring so she'd be going back, Sango wasn't convinced at her act she knew something happened but thought it wise to let her be at the moment, she knew better than to pressure her when she was like that.
Kagome hurried back to the well but before she could jump in a strong grip was around her arm, her first instinct was that it was Inuyasha so she turned around swiftly and struck him in the face but alas it wasn't Inuyasha.
"Oh-Kami… Sesshomaru ..i- I'm sorry I-thought…" she was confused about 2 things why he had this death grip on her arm and why his eyes were blood red then she realized 'his beast was in control...was this because I slapped him just now or he was like this all the while… and why wasn't I able to sense him… even now I still can't sense him'
"Sesshomaru?..." he was tightening his grip on her, she was getting really frightened and was about to scream when he struck her unconscious and leapt into the forest of the west.
