Anway read, review and enjoy.
Chapter 13 : The Demon Lord vs. The Witch King
Inuyasha did not want this. He did not want a battle between BanMidou and Sesshoumaru... his new found... father? It seemed wrong. He wanted to fight Sesshoumaru himself, but now he knew – he could not. Sesshoumaru was his father.. he had cut off his father's hand.. his own fathers'. Knowingly or not there was a sick sense of guilt that flooded Inuyasha when he saw the missing hand. The maturity business, and everything that was happening – was playing havoc with Inuyasha's emotions, he felt edgy and distracted. He watched the two get ready for battle, none of the others would interfere as it was a declared one on one battle. He wished BanMidou would just Jagan, Sesshoumaru and get it over with, but he knew that his friend would not do that. It was ironic, the two had a strange sense of honor, Sesshoumaru would not lie, and BanMidou would always fight fair in a battle.
Ban stood in a relaxed stance, watching the DaiYoukai, he was not foolish enough to underestimate the Youkai, he was after all Inuyasha's father and the Puppy was no push over. Still he had heard of Sesshoumaru's battles and had a fairly good idea of his fighting style. Knowledge was power, Ban grinned as he sucked on a piece of grass. He was in no hurry, and waited for the Youkai to make the first move.
Sesshoumaru's eyes narrowed at the taunting smile on the dark haired Hanyou's face. This creature dared claim the title of Alpha for his son! As if a Hanyou was strong enough to protect Sesshoumaru's son. Irritation rose in the Youkai, he would dispose of the human. Sesshoumaru's claws grew and poison leaked out, in a flash he drove straight towards Ban's heart. Even before he finished the move, Sesshoumaru realized that he had underestimated the warrior, and spun. To swipe at the warrior who was now behind him. Both strikes missed. Ban danced out of the way, his feet did not seem to touch the ground.
The humans as battle experienced as they were could not track the movements of the two, Inuyasha could just follow the movements, and was candid enough to admit that they were a tad faster then him. If BanMidou choose not to actually engage, Sesshoumaru would never even touch him, the Jagan user was just too damn fast. BanMidou had explained to Inuyasha that speed was a critical factor of battle in his world, 10 even 20 strikes in a second was the norm, among the elite fighters of the GetBackers world. And Ban at top form was able able to make a 200 strikes in a second. (GB Canon end manga fight against Akabane)
But Ban didn't want to avoid the DaiYoukai, he wanted to smash his face in. Sesshoumaru growled in frustration, he finally drew Tokijin, he released a powerful stream of Kenatsu (needles of demonic energy) at Ban. Ban dodged most of it, phasing through the air, but still a few needles caught his shoulder, it was time to pick it up a notch. Ban moved in and Sesshoumaru swung his blade at Ban. To Sesshoumaru's surprise the Hanyou caught the sword in his right hand, the power of the grip was amazing, and before Sesshoumaru could react, Ban's knee smashed into his belly, and his left fist caught him in an upper cut. Sesshoumaru found himself flying back and smashing into a tree. He was so used to taking enemies out fast, he underestimated his opponent, and had left himself open while attacking.
Then Ban moved in to attack. Sesshoumaru found that he could not anticipate the moves of the Jagan user. Glancing painful blows came through as Sesshoumaru was forced into a defensive battle. He managed to inflict damage on the Jagan user but an embarrassing amount of bruises and cuts turned up on the DaiYoukai. His anger rising, Sesshoumaru used an explosion of Youki to throw Ban back, then drawing the Tensaiga, he summoned the Gates to Hell. The doorway opened and the vacuum reached out to suck the Jagan wielder in. Ban's planted his feet, and his eyes flared as he raised his left arm “Verschwinde Geist!” (Return to your place of origin. GO!) and the force of the hell gates were reflected back on Sesshoumaru. (**Spell used by Ban in Canon, underground battles)
The DaiYoukai immediately sheathed the Tensaiga and the Gate collapsed. His eyes narrowed on the slim form before him. He had very badly underestimated the warrior. There was much more to him them met the eye. “What are you, Hanyou? No Youkai has that kind of ability.”
Ban shrugged and he removed his bloody shirt. “In this world I am a Hanyou, but I am also the bearer of Asclepius and the Witch King. To make this fair I will give you this warning, using that sword against me is a big mistake, my blood gives me abilities similar to that sword, and since I can open dimensional gates, I can turn them against you.” Ban said easily. For a Hanyou to so easily use human magic was unheard of in Inuyasha's world, and to claim to be the King of the Witches sent shivers down the spines.
Both attacked each other, Sesshoumaru using the Tokijin again, Sesshoumaru called down lighting. Some bolts hit Ban, but his years of association with Ginji had given the Jagan user a great deal of immunity to lighting, so he was able to shrug most of the damage off, ignoring the pain he dove in. His right fist with all the power of the snake bite, slammed into Sesshoumaru's face. There was a satisfying sound of a jaw breaking as Sesshoumaru was slammed back.
Spitting blood, Sesshoumaru powered his Youki and summoned the full form of the Dragon Strike, a silver dragon began to form around him. Ban began chanting, his own energy levels rising as he awakened the cosmic powers of Asclepius in his blood.
The two combatants were focused on each other, and everyone else was focused on the battle. The Youki generated by the two was throwing everyone back, and more then once Miroku had to summon a barrier to protect the humans. Inuyasha irritated by Miroku thinking he needed a barrier had moved away from the group and was shaken by the energy but not damaged.
Ban's hand became dragon claws, the two draconian forces seemed to surge together, that both would survive the clash of energy seemed unimaginable.
A split second before the forced met, blue eyes snapped to the side, and Sesshoumaru's attack met nothing. The Jagan user had flashed away, he was suddenly standing behind Inuyasha as with a scream Ban ripped through the appendage of Magatsuhi that had been aimed at the distracted Inuyasha's back. Sesshoumaru now seeing the sneak attack, directed the force of the dragon strike towards the evil manifestation of the Shikon Jewel. The combined attack disintegrated the borrowed form, and manic laughter was heard as the creature vanished.
Ban stood panting, his eyes scanning the area for further danger, there was none.
Sesshoumaru wiped the blood from his mouth and looked at the warrior quizzically. “In a fight with this Sesshoumaru, just before releasing a powerful strike how did you sense Magatsuhi?”
Ban growled a little in disgust, “Unfortunately I didn't, I only sensed it when Inuyasha was in direct danger.” Then his eyes narrowed on Sesshoumaru, “Meh! Don't get so arrogant Lord Stripy, fighting you or anyone is not so important to me, that I will allow those who are my own to fall, just to win a meaningless fight. So shall we resume?”
“Hmn, this Sesshoumaru does not waste his time on meaningless battles. Magatsuhi is now my prey, battling you no longer amuses me. You have proven yourself as a barely adequate Alpha and protector, Hanyou. You have my leave to continue to guard my son.” Sesshoumaru said as a cloud formed under his feet. “However I warn you, if he comes to any unnecessary harm during his period of maturity, this Sesshoumaru will slice you to little pieces.” Sesshoumaru said his face in Ban's.
Ban returned the impassive look, sure Inuyasha's father had issues, but then so had his own. Ban understood adversarial father-son relationships. “If Inuyasha gets badly hurt, this Ban Midou just may allow you to do that.” Ban said both mocking and serious at the same time.
Sesshoumaru turned to Inuyasha who was looking irritated at the two who suddenly seemed to think he needed protection. “Hoi I am NOT so weak that I need baby sitting!” Inuyasha growled angrily.
“Indeed! You are very strong, Inuyasha.” Sesshoumaru said flatly, “However, the time of maturity is a period of weakness for all Shiro-Inus, it is just for a period of 7 to 10 days, but it is the weakest period of any adult Shiro-Inu's life, including this Sesshoumaru's. Our Youki is focused on pushing our boundaries and developing new abilities, leaving us temporarily weak. It was only after that period did I develop my ability to fly, turn into pure Youki and produce poison. It will be interesting to see what abilities, maturity bring to you Inuyasha. We will speak again.”
The last four words were said like an order, but there was a softening in Sesshoumaru's eyes as he said them.
Inuyasha's own eyes widened as he saw the look. “eerrr.. ya sure, okay whatever. If you provide the food, maybe we'll come visit you.” Inuyasha said tentatively.
“Once Magatsuhi is dust.” was all Sesshoumaru said in reply before he lifted up in the air and disappeared in the direction of the creature's scent.
Immediately, the tension eased, and the Inu-group collapsed onto the soft grass. At that moment sleeping for a week seemed like a jolly good idea.
--tbc--
Ok sorry short chappie, but I didn't want to dilute the battle with soft stuff. As requested the battle is technically a draw... if that is how you choose to interpret it. I know most of you don't know Ban from the end of Manga well – but seriously Sesshoumaru would not have stood a chance with Tokijin, with Bakunsaiga his chances would have been better, and a draw a little more likely. All Ban's abilities including focusing on the safety of his 'partner' in the heat of battle is Canon. Lol.. Ban Midou is the only hero who very powerful opponents, have to say “Look at me!” during a battle because he has just realized that Ginji (his canon partner in GB) is in serious danger.
Anyway hope you enjoyed it, and suggestions for Inu's post maturity abilities?
Anway read, review and enjoy.
