Chapter 12

Six years later

Ever since Saskai became allies with Scar their was a whole lot of massacre. All the lords of all four lands

sent their best warriors out to search for the perpetrators. Unfortunately they had no luck after 6 years their

was no sign of their enemy. It was unbelievable that only two demons could bring so much death to the lands.

Sesshomaru knew that something bad was going to happen and it had been going on for six whole years. He had

thought that who ever was doing all this would have been found by now.

Horai was finally able to go out and search along with his fathers greatest warriors. Had had now grown into a

fine looking young man. He would tie his long silver hair up into a ponytail to keep it out of his way. He wore

a similar outfit his father always use to wear before he was born but his was blue and red.

“Sir we have searched near the northern boarder but we cant detect anything” a soldier ran up to Horai. “This is

really starting to get on my nerves, tell me when was the last attack” he asked the soldier. “It seems that

their was an attack in a near by village” the soldier informed him “very well we will head their” Horai replied.

Horai and his soldiers headed to a village which was only an hours walk from where they where. However it would

take them only about twenty minutes if they ran at full speed.

After a while Horai could definitely smell the scent of blood and a whole lot of it as well. They arrived and

the sight before them was terrible. Their where bodies everywhere and by the looks of it, it was a human village

that was attacked. Men, women and even children where all over the place nothing but dead corpses now.

“They where definitely here and by the smell of how fresh the blood is it seems we only just missed them” Horai

said. “Sir do you think maybe after all this time they are getting a bit sloppy” the same soldier asked him. “No

it seems that their was only one person this time and if that was the case it would take him longer to kill all

these people before we even arrived” he mentioned. “Though we all do respect but how can you be sure it was only

one person” the soldier asked him “it is just a feeling” Horai replied.

He walked through the village the smell was unbearable especially since demons have a good sense of smell. “SIR

SIR” a soldier came running up to him in a hurry “what is it soldier” Horai asked. “I was looking around and I

found this” he held up a piece of fabric which seemed to be a part of a sleeve. The soldier gave the piece to

Horai it had a symbol on it “this might help us figure out who has been doing all this” Horai told his soldiers.

“We will go back to the castle” he told them “but sir”, “that’s an order soldier” Horai told him “yes sir” and

the soldiers followed on.

Not to far away their was a figure up in a tree who was watching the whole thing. “So here you are” Scar jumped

onto the same branch. “I must say you truly terrorized this village I am very proud, of course knowing you, you

could have killed these poor villages rather quickly but instead you decided to take your time on purpose didn’t

you” Scar asked him.

“Hmm” and the figure jumped down from the tree and ran of, Scar stayed up in the tree looking at the once

village which was nothing but a dead graveyard. “Of course I bet seeing your brother was a surprise huh Saskai”

he said to himself. “Who knows probably you will have to fight him but will you be able to kill your own flesh

and blood”.

Saskai now looked a bit different, his long silver hair was down and his brown eyes looked like it didn’t have a

soul in them. He was wearing black pants the same look as Sesshomaru’s and a white top underneath a black and

red cape which went around his entire body and the top part covered his lower half of his face (just above his

lips) and head.

His markings on his face where black not pink and they where zigzag looking not straight. The blue crescent moon

on his forehead wasn’t blue anymore but red instead.

Horai arrived back at the castle, he walked into Sesshomaru’s office and saw him sitting at his desk. “Father I

have returned” he bowed to him, Sesshomaru looked up at his youngest son. “I see you have not found them yet”

Sesshomaru asked him. “No father but we did find this” and he handed the piece of fabric with the pattern on it

to him.

Sesshomaru’s took it and had a close look at the pattern “so its him I thought so” Sesshomaru said to

himself. “Who father who is this person you speak of” Horai asked him “his name is Jiku but he is known as Scar”

Sesshomaru replied. “Scar I have heard about him but father if you thought it was him why didn’t you say

anything” Horai asked. “What difference would that have made Horai even if I was right that it was him, it would

take me quite a while to figure out where his hideout is and knowing him he has probably lowered his demon scent

so no one knows where he is” Sesshomaru told his son.

“Father surely you can you are the great western lord I know you could find him with ease” Horai told

him. “Maybe so but at the moment I am having trouble with the lord of the south” Sesshomaru said. “So what I

want you to do is to keep looking, there is one place that you haven’t looked Horai and that is the Tayca

mountain” Sesshomaru told him.

Meanwhile in the forest Saskai was surrounded by a few soldiers “we finally found you and who would have thought

that it would be lord Sesshomaru’s eldest son” a captain said. They where soldiers which served the lord of the

north, they had seemed to have finally tracked him down. “It seems your getting a bit sloppy” and the captain

laughed, Saskai didn’t even say a word. “Nothing to say huh well I’ll make you scream when I kill you, soldiers

attack”.

All the soldiers ran towards Saskai, he just stood their once they got a bit closer he quickly drew his sword

and with one swoop all the soldiers were disintegrated. “No that’s impossible” their captain said to himself who

was still alive. Saskai walked towards him and the captain stepped back.

He then tripped on a tree root which was sticking out of the ground and fell back. He was shacking and sweating.

Saskai stopped and looked down at the helpless demon before him. “Why, why are you doing this” the captain asked

him “why, I’ve been asking myself that same question” Saskai replied. He then swung his sword and cut the poor

soldiers neck and the body dropped to the side.

Saskai looked at the dead demon, he then smelt a very familiar scent coming his way. He knew full well that it

was his younger brother Horai. Saskai just stood their not even moving, he could tell that Horai and his

soldiers where getting closer.

Horai stopped for a minute “is something wrong sir” a soldier asked him, “it cant be” he said to himself in a

mere whisper. He took of running “SIR” the soldier called out to him but Horai didn’t stop.

He came into the clearing and he couldn’t believe what he saw, their in front of him was his older brother. “S

Saskai” he was about to take a step forward when he saw the dead body in front of Saskai and their was blood on

his sword. By the logo on the dead soldiers uniform was the print of the northern lands symbol.

“Saskai did, did you kill him” Horai asked him, he looked up at Saskai “tell me was it you who killed this

soldier” he asked again. Saskai just looked at Horai “SAY SOMETHING DAMIT” he yelled at him.

Saskai turned around and started to walk away, Horai quickly ran in front of him. Saskai stopped in his

tracks “I’ve finally found you after all these years and your just going to walk away” Horai said. “Move” Saskai

told him in a low tone “Saskai what’s wrong with you” Horai knew that their was something different about his

elder brother.

Why are you acting like this Saskai” he asked him, “move or I will kill you” Saskai told him. Horai’s eyes

widened of shock, his brother just told him that he would kill him if he didn’t move. “Your not the same Saskai

I use to know” Horai said taking a step back “Sir” the soldiers soon arrived. “Master Saskai” the captain of the

soldiers was shocked and so where his soldiers. Saskai looked at them “master Saskai oh are we glad to see you I

bet you have been looking for the ones who are doing this as well haven’t you” the captain said walking up to

him.

He got a bit closer when Saskai brought his sword up and pointed it at his neck making the captain stop in his

tracks. “Saskai what are you doing put your sword down” Horai told him “leave now and I will spare your lives”

Saskai told them. “Saskai what has happened to you why you’ve been gone” Horai was now really confused.

“Go Horai or this man along with the others dies” Saskai said to him, Horai wasn’t sure what to do. He had two

choices, one was to leave and his men will be spared or two, stay but his men will be killed.


Which one do you think Horai will pick well the only way you will know is to find out in my next chapter.
