Unfaithful Seduction

Chapter 10 Final Encounter



Clouds began to build and roar through the sky and it began to darken all they touched as the impending storm closed in. Trees swayed angrily in the wind as the leaves were mercilessly torn from their branches. Darkness began to saturate the ground below; there would be no moon visible tonight to light the way. Animals and demons alike could feel the impending doom at their doorstep as they scurried out of their homes running as far away, from the chosen arena, as they possibly could. Tonight there would be one ending and one beginning. One life would end to allow another to thrive. Whatever the outcome, their lives would be forever changed, for better or worse, fate could only allow the inevitable to unfold for all to see.

Silver hair whipped around his body as he stepped out of the protection of the forest and into the field. Sesshomaru lifted his nose to the air eyes closing as he took in all of the scents around him. Soon… he would be here very soon. His claws flexed with anticipation, amber eyes sliding open and gazing out into the distance ahead.

He lifted his hand and placed it on the hilt of tokijin. Never had he felt so strongly about anything in his life. He had never been forced to fight this hard for anything that he truly desired, and now that he found something to fully fight for he would not lose it now. Sesshomaru briefly wondered if this is how his father felt as he attempted to protect Inuyasha and his human mother.

He had always vowed he would not end up like his father, he would not be weak to his emotions… and yet here he stood resurrected by the one person he claimed to hate the most, to save his human mate. Sesshomaru couldn’t help but to chuckle half heartedly to himself. He now understood his father better than he ever had. Sesshomaru had given up his life once for this woman, and he was willing to do it all over again. The strange part to him was he had no regrets no hesitation about his decisions, and so he would fight… for her… for them.

The distant sound of thunder rolled through the hills as the wind continued to ravage the innocent trees. The air pressure dropped and the heavy scent of rain was thick in the air cooling everything around. Heavy amber eyes slid closed once more for the briefest of moments before opening them once more only to fall on the figure of his enemy. Sesshomaru lowered his head all evidence of emotion vacant from his features as he glared at his opponent standing a good distance across from him.

Koga stood clad in his darkened fur and armor with a smug look on his face. He clenched his fists causing the lines of neon blue tribal markings begin to illuminate on his skin.

“To think that you were the one I believed I should worry about… when it was that half breed mutt I shouldn’t have underestimated.” Kogas voice boomed throughout the field echoing off the surrounding wall of trees behind Sesshomaru.

Sesshomaru glare only seemed to darken as he remained silent. The hand that casually rested on his demonic sword tightened before smoothly drawing out his powerful weapon. The energy from the sword sizzled and crackled as its master summoned its power.

Koga watched the fluid movement of the youkai lord with interest. There was something different about him this time. He had killed him so easily the time before… this time would be no different! And yet in his heart he was not as sure as his mind promised a guaranteed win. He as well drew his own sword. It was nothing compared to the demonic sword Sesshomaru wielded but he would play his little sword play game… for now.

“It was too easy to kill you before… and this time will be no different… try to make it a little interesting this time… I don’t want my woman to be disappointed if I kill you too easily.” With a smug smirk Koga crouched back on his haunches.

A single raindrop landed on the tip of Sesshomarus nose only to be followed with the first intimidating strike of lightning. Sesshomarus feet parted leaning most of his weight on his front foot his attack plan laid out right in front of his eyes.

Using the blinding light of the lightning and the camouflage of the darkness Koga leapt into the air sword raised high above his head. He thrust his sword down through the air. Sesshomaru didn’t even look up at him. Slight disappointment crossed his mind until his sword met nothing but the hard ground. Koga looked up and side to side. The bastard had just been there and he seemed to vanish into thin air. Suddenly Kogas instinct took over as he managed to whip around and deflect Sesshomarus counter attack.

Sesshomarus brows furrowed together as he delivered blow after brutal blow. Koga had been taken completely by surprise by the sheer ferocity of Sesshomarus power as he continued to block his attacks left and right. Koga deflected another murderous blow before leaping backwards putting some distance between them.

Sesshomaru flipped his sword around in his hand holding it backwards as he charged at blinding speeds at his enemy. Koga lunged forward meeting Sesshomarus attack head on. With one swift movement Sesshomaru lifted his sword breaking through Kogas attack as the awkwardly held sword was drawn up straight through his arms. The loud screech of Sesshomarus sword connecting with Kogas armor mirrored the intense strikes of lightning. Kogas sword was flung halfway across the field in the middle of the attack.

Falling back Koga felt the armor crack and split perfectly in two pieces. With a feral snarl he ripped the offending protection from his chest. He flexed his claws and lunged once more.

Sesshomaru flipped and repositioned his sword correctly in his hand as he dashed to the side as he watched Koga charge at him head on. Koga smirked to himself he should have known that Sesshomaru would be more skilled in battle than Inuyasha was. He was playing the field not taking on every head on confrontation, which is exactly what he wanted. He leapt into the air landing directly in front of Sesshomaru as his claws connected with his right shoulder.

The gaping wound in Sesshomarus shoulder didn’t seem to faze him even as blood began to run down his arm. He only grinned as his blade sizzled through the flesh of Kogas chest. Yes he knew there was a possibility that the mangy wolf would land an attack… but it would be well worth it if he could in return inflict an even greater wound on his enemy.

Koga howled in pain as the blade made contact with the bare flesh of his side. He managed to dodge Sesshomarus next few attacks all the while attempting to counter with a few strikes of his own. It was clear that this was more than just a fight for Sesshomaru… and because of that Koga was steadily being backed into a corner with no way out. With one last attempt Koga put as much distance between him and Sesshomaru as he could.

He gripped his side pathetically as his blood was washed down his body by the down pore of rain. All sound had been drowned out by the consistent roar of thunder and pelting rain. This battle had gone on much longer then he had anticipated. Koga dropped lifted his hands into the air face lifted to the sky. He’s had enough of this silly game. It was time for it to end! Sesshomaru stood poised and ready for another attack despite his own bleeding wounds.

Indeed Koga had become much stronger and agile then before but he was still no match for this Sesshomaru. He watched as Koga fell to the ground and lifted his hands into the air before falling down to his knees head bowed and hands burrowed into the muddy ground. Sesshomaru was about to attack when Kogas body suddenly began to emit that strange blue light, only this time it began to consume his entire body.

He could feel it… the raw power coarse through his veins. The portion of Kagomes soul he kept held the power Sesshomarus descendent had used to save her soul that day. In essence, it was the power that rightfully belonged to Sesshomaru. The power was beginning to fuse with Kogas body, mind, and soul. Once the fusion was completed he would have truly obtained the power he sought.

The light began to completely consume his body and suddenly burst out and even shadowed the lightning in the sky. Slowly standing with his head still bowed to the ground he turned towards Sesshomaru the smug look on his face darkening even further. With a sudden crash of lightning Koga raised his hand to the sky and in another blinding light the bolt of lightning seemed to home in directly on him only it was deflected by what seemed to be a liquid force field around him. The lightning became encapsulated and began to spark and swirl until it formed an orb in his hand.

Lifting his head, neon blue eyes sliced through the darkness and looked straight at Sesshomaru. He brought his hand down holding the sizzling ball of energy in front of him.

Sesshomaru watched the transformation and felt his determination increase tenfold. This battle was not only against Koga, it was a battle against his own true strength. He watched in disdain as Koga harnessed the energy of the lightning and had it aimed straight at him. With a small sigh Sesshomaru dropped his head allowing his eyes to close as he concentrated all of his senses on his situation.

The waves of power rippled through his flesh as he contained the energy of nature itself and suddenly released all he contained in a split second. The attack was wide spread as it bore down on Sesshomaru. At impact an enormous amount of debris was strewn about as it tore into the earth. Waves of electricity raced through the forest setting it ablaze instantly. Even as the rain poured it did nothing to quench the thirst of the newly ignited fire.

Koga scowled triumphantly spotting Sesshomaru in the middle of the blast site. Sesshomaru was crouched down his sword impaled into the earth. Koga walked over to his discarded sword as soon as he touched it the sword seemed to fuse with the new power coursing through his body as it transformed into a magnificent double edged sword etched with ancient blue symbols down the length of the blade.

Only then did Koga see him rise to his feet. Eyes wide and disbelieving became outraged at the sight. Sesshomaru stood turning his head to his foe, his body was covered in scratches and dirt caused by flying debris, but comparatively he was unharmed by the intense blow.

A vicious snarl filled the field as Koga wasted no time in initiating combat. Blow after brutal blow could be heard miles away. Immense power against calculated attacks seemed to make an even match but slowly Sesshomaru could feel himself failing. The gash in his shoulder, amongst all of the other wounds inflicted on his body, were weeping crimson with his life blood.

Koga could feel he was slowly gaining the upper hand in this battle. His normal blue eyes began to shimmer like black onyx. His actions were becoming harsher and more demanding. He wanted this to be over, he would start his new beginning!
Swords locked against one another Koga forced Sesshomaru down and without warning tokijin shattered. Koga planted his foot square in Sesshomarus chest knocking him back into the muddy ground. Sesshomaru lifted himself up his strength wavering. This had been the longest battle he had ever fought with this amount of physical injury.

He had come so far, and now was history bound to repeat itself? Was it never truly destined for them to survive and be together?

Sesshomaru looked up into the eyes of his attacker with the sword raised high above his head.

“This is your perfect ending Sesshomaru… in the mud like an abandoned mutt!”

“Get the hell off your ass Sesshomaru!” That voice boomed across the clearing at that moment.

Koga brought his sword down only to meet nothing once more. A clawed hand dug into the already existing wound in Kogas side. Howling out in pain he leapt back feeling the remnants of Sesshomarus poison claws burn into his flesh.
Sesshomaru crouched down using his one knee as support as he looked around the clearing. Inuyasha stood tetsusaiga in hand only a few meters away. The look on Kogas face was priceless. This was the second time Inuyasha had ended up saving his life. Sesshomaru watched as Inuyasha stepped in front of him facing Koga himself.

“Alright wolf boy now that you’re actually worth fighting it’s my turn!” Inuyasha pointed the tip of his sword toward the wolf only to be rewarded with a sadistic grin.

“This fight doesn’t concern you! You should be thrilled that I’m taking care of him for you!” Koga brought his sword back in front of him mirroring Inuyashas movements.

“The only one who has the right to beat that bastard is me!!” Inuyasha charged headstrong into battle just like he always does.

Sesshomaru watched as Inuyasha clashed against their adversary time and time again only he was over taken and thrown across the field struggling to get up. Even though this was not Inuyashas fight he couldn’t just sit back and watch. Like hell did he want Koga to surpass what Naraku had already done to this world. He hoped that he had given Sesshomaru enough of a break to finish this fight once and for all.

Sesshomaru winced slightly as he forced himself to stand feeling the last of his adrenalin coursing through his system. With one last moment of rest he leapt high into the air.

Koga had enough of the hanyous interruptions. He was only delaying the inevitable. One battle and he would have gotten rid of both Inu brothers and that was good enough for him. Even the momentary lapse in attention to Sesshomaru had left him vulnerable to attack.

Sesshomaru fell from the sky and landed a direct hit on his target. Koga was sent flying backwards away from Inuyasha crashing harshly into the ground. Left without a sword to fight with he would have to use his other abilities to win this war.

“Take it Sesshomaru…” Sesshomaru only glanced back for a split second watching as Inuyasha extended the hilt of tetsusaiga towards him.

Koga was back on his feet and immediately rushed at Sesshomaru. Without even thinking of the repercussions Sesshomaru unsheathed their fathers fang watching it transform as it collided with that of Kogas. Only this time it did not reject its wielder.

With new found confidence Sesshomaru met each and every attack aimed at him. Koga was becoming increasingly frustrated. He should have been dead countless times by now. Even though he had been inflicted with injuries he couldn’t feel the pain or fatigue that should have been associated with his wounds any longer.

That’s when he heard it. A breathless gasp and a tear filled cry.

“Sesshomaru!!!!” Kagome had just barely made it to the clearing.

Her feet moved on their own accord until she arrived here. She could hear battle in the distance and she could only imagine Koga was in the middle of battle… but she didn’t expect what she saw.

Inuyasha lay severely injured on the edges of the battle field, Koga who had seemed to be a mythical creature battling a silver haired angel. Her heart leapt and she could feel all of her emotions flood through her all at one time. Sesshomaru was in horrifying shape, and yet he still continued to fight a battle that seemed hopeless. Unable to contain herself she called out to him.

Sesshomarus heart leapt into his throat as her voice filled his mind. She was safe. He forcefully pushed Koga back.

“Get out of here Kagome!” His voice was urgent and demanding.

Before Sesshomaru knew it Koga had evaded his attack countering with one of his own knocking him to the ground and was making his way towards Kagome.

Kagome looked up at Koga fury clear on his face. He grabbed her wrist in a vice grip lifting her off the ground face inches from hers.

“How dare you defy me!?” Koga snarled and then smirked as he looked over his shoulder.

“You have come to witness his final defeat… and after this you will belong to ME!”

Sesshomaru tackled Koga forcing him to release his hold on Kagome as they tumbled to the ground like two wolves fighting for dominance.

Kagome gripped her bruised wrist as he eyes widened in horror as she watched them begin to tear each other apart. With shaky hands Kagome reached for her bow. This is why she had to be here… this was the only way to set them free.

Koga pinned Sesshomaru to the ground claws raised for his final strike.

“Everything you own, everything you love will be MINE!”
