Nymphetamine

Sesshomaru stayed quietly against the side of the castle concealed into the shadows. He heard Inuyasha grunting and howling back and forth with Naraku as the two fought to gain control of the Sacred Jewel. Kagura and Kanna had been kept busy by Sango, Miroku and Kagome. The dog demon smiled somewhat to himself.

This task was easier than expected. Grasping the hilt of his Tokijin (sp?), he sprinted quickly across the courtyard, following the strange scent he had first noticed at the gates of the castle. Something or someone else was in the castle. Probably waiting for the exact moment to attack, but Sesshomaru would not let that happen.

The back door slid easily open as he stepped in, keeping his sword down to his side. Abruptly, the wall opposite him crashed in, sliding Naraku to his feet. Sesshomaru growled, stabbing the sword through Naraku’s arm, before flipping over to pin him to the ground.

Naraku hissed, breaking flesh and bone as he tore his arm from the sword’s grasp. His other hand thrusted harshly to Sesshomaru’s chest sending him backward.

Inuyasha quickly jumped in, attacking Naraku with overbearing confidence. Naraku’s arm flung the hanyou off, before he turned, charging at Sesshomaru. The dog demon scrambled to find his stance, only to be knocked off balance as Naraku pounced him violently to the floor. The wooden boards beneath them cracking as they gave weigh to the immense force flung upon them.

Inuyasha, Sesshomaru, and Naraku fell through to the underground chambers floor. Each landing gracefully as they stood facing each other. Sesshomaru shook out his hair a moment, gripping his Tokijin. “Give up, you bastard. Your end is with me.”

Naraku growled some, his arm reforming quickly as he looked to Inuyasha, toying with his mind. “You’re going to let your older brother settle your fight for you?”

The hanyou gritted his teeth, knowing to shout back a harsh response would only damper the advantage him and Sesshomaru had upon the spider hanyou. Naraku dashed forward, his arms spreading outward before he leapt towards Sesshomaru, howling loudly.

Sesshomaru leapt himself, drawing his sword above his head in defense to Naraku’s stature. The two met in mid-air, metal clashing and growls sounding before Sesshomaru seemed to be taken out by the blow. Falling backwards to the ground, a large gash sheared across his abdomen, blood painting his white outfit as he sat up some, looking to the wound with a bit of surprise.

Suddenly, a crack was heard. But not like any bone crack or punch of sword crashing. The dog demon looked to the floor, to the blood filling the grooves of an ancient carving in the stone. His gaze looked up to Inuyasha, then to Naraku. Both had a puzzled expression upon their faces. Naraku’s expression held a little bit more fear to his than Inuyasha’s.
Another crack sounded out, the walls beginning to rumble as Sesshomaru moved to look at the rock behind the two fighting demons began to turn in a circle. The pie shaped segments spinning about before they slowly began to part from the center, revealing another spinning layer of brick.

Naraku ceased all movement, turning slowly to look at the opening prison chamber. He growled some before his fists clenched, screaming aloud. “GUARDS!!!!!”
