Sesshoumaru Present

Chapter 2


Two human males were waiting for the youkai to come down to his car. They have been trying for weeks to kill him, but they have been unable to get close to him.

Today was the final day for them to complete this job. If they didn’t their leader will have someone else do it for them. That thought didn’t sit well with them. They have tried everything in their power to kill this youkai but something always got in their way. But today they were confident in succeeding with their task.

The assassins were waiting in a dark corner of the parking garage and one of them had a gun. This gun was special since the bullets were developed especially for this particular youkai. The bullets were hollow and inside each was poison. This poison will prevent the youkai from healing his body, thus ensuring his death.

They heard the elevator engage and waited with bated breaths. They saw the doors opening as a very tall Inu youkai stepped out of it and started walking towards his car. This was the male that they have been waiting for, the one whom they were sent to kill. He was the one who was a threat to their organization; with him out of the way all of their plans would succeed. They needed the youkai to get a little closer, that way they were sure not to miss their target.

They watched to see if the youkai could detect their presence, but the sutras they possessed hid them well from his senses. They were doubtful of the sutras powers since this was a powerful youkai, but now they believed the woman who gave it to them. The youkai had no idea what was going on, as he was about to meet his end.

Then, the youkai stopped half way to his car. Not knowing what caused the youkai to stop in his tracks, Tsutomu decided that he will not risk letting the youkai get away this time. He took aim and fired. He hit his target and saw the large youkai go down. He and his partner grinned at each other, as they walked out of their hiding place and headed toward the fallen male.

His partner Yori was carrying a sword. His job was to take off the youkai’s head and send it to the foul creature’s father. When he was distraught and not paying attention to his surroundings, they will kill him as well. These two youkai posed a great threat to their organization and what they were trying to do.

Their leader determined that in order to rid the earth of youkai, they should start with their leaders. Here, in front of them was one of the youkai leaders. He was also the son of the youkai lord that ruled these lands.

They knew that the lord had a half-breed son and daughter, but they were not a threat to them at this point in time. They needed to get the eldest son and father out of the way first before they dealt with the half-breeds. Soon, their organization would be able to purge the lands of these filthy beasts and they can all live in peace.

They finally reached the youkai and saw the blood that was oozing from the wound. The bullet did its job well as it released the poison into his body, preventing him from healing.

Tsutomu turned to his partner, saying, “You better hurry and get the head. His blood is bound to attract the youkai guards and we need to get out of here as soon as possible.”

Yori understood his partner, as he gripped the sword tighter in his hand, walking closer to his prey. He noticed right away that the youkai’s eyes were red. It was a good thing that the poison was subduing him or Yori would be dead at this moment.

He stopped by the youkai’s head and raised his sword high into the air. Yori brought it down with all of his strength to make sure he severed the head in one blow. But, to his surprise the sword hit something hard. It shoved him back, making him fall on his ass.

Tsutomu observed what his partner was doing. Yori was about to deliver the deathblow when he fell backwards. Rushing to his side, Tsutomu asked with a shaky voice, “What happened, Yori? Why didn’t you kill him?”

Yori was still in shock as he replied, “I hit something very hard. It wouldn’t let me get near him. Do you see anything?”

Tsutomu looked at the youkai but didn’t see anything out of the ordinary. Then, they heard a strong masculine voice say, “I will not allow you to hurt him. You have no right. He has done nothing to you to warrant death by your hands.”

Both men slowly turned around. They were expecting the youkai guards, but to their surprise they saw a small human male standing there in front of them. They were angry that this man would interfere in their important mission. “What in the hell are you doing? You have no right to stop us from our duty.”

---oOo---

The young man dressed in black was awakened by powerful jyaki coming through the area. His own holy power was trying to fight the jyaki as he reined it in. He didn’t want to be found at the moment, while he let the jyaki move over him with ease. He opened his eyes and peaked out the door. There was a powerful youkai walking towards the only car left in the garage. He put up his own barrier to prevent the youkai from detecting him.

He was a very tall youkai with an aura that was very powerful. He was walking with grace and beauty as he was heading for the only care left in the garage. He exuded an air of confidence that told of his status. He was fascinated with this youkai as he continued to watch him, wondering who he was.

Then he felt it, there were others in the area that were hidden from the youkai senses. He could feel the spell that the sutras had on them and it was powerful. These are the fools that he has been looking for. They have been killing youkai over the years for no reason at all. He has been hunting them, but was unable to find them till today.

The young man stuck his hand inside his jacket and pulled out some ofudas. He started to chant his spell as he slowly walked out of his hiding place. He was careful not to be seen by either the youkai or humans. He kept to the dark recesses of the garage, making his way closer to the intruders.

The man in black noticed when the youkai stopped he seemed to be sensing something. He thought that the youkai had picked up on the other human males in the area. To his surprise the youkai turned his head towards him. There was no way that the youkai could detect him, but by the way this youkai acted, he has definitely found him.

The man in black spotted the other human males as one of them came out of hiding and pointed a gun at the youkai. He threw his ofuda towards the youkai they were trying to kill, as the shot was fired. The bullet made it there before his ofuda by a fraction of a second, as the ofuda landed on the ground. It put a barrier around the wounded youkai to protect him.

The males thought that they have won the battle, but they were sadly mistaken. When the one with the sword tried to kill the youkai, he found that he couldn’t get through the barrier.

He saw the surprise on their faces as he responded to their questions, “Who I am is of no concern to you. What you should be concerned about is what I’m going to do to you for attacking this youkai for no reason.”

Tsutomu smiled as he replied, “I think that you are delusional. There are two of us against one of you. You will not stand a chance against us.”

The male in black was getting frustrated, as he looked the idiots in front of him. He stood his ground and asked, “I want to know who gave you the sutras that you are carrying?”

The men laughed. The one called Yori answered, “Why should we tell you? The person who gave us these sutras is very powerful and she will help us win this war. We will not stop until all of the youkai are dead.”

The man in black sighed as he rubbed his forehead with his left hand, “If you won’t tell me, then give me the sutras that you are carrying. I will not allow you to leave this place with them.”

Tsutomu smiled as he pointed his gun at the young stranger, “There is no way we are going to give you the sutras we are carrying. We need them for the other jobs we have to do. This sutra has proven itself useful in keeping us hidden from youkai senses.”

The man in black grinned wickedly at his adversary, “Very well, if you won’t give them to me then I will have to take them from you.”

The two men laughed at the audacity of the man standing in front of them. He will never be able to get the sutras away from them. “I would like to see you try and take the sutras away from us. You are no match for the both of us.”

The man in black smirked. He held up his hand, palm up, and said, “Come.”

The sutras flew from the men’s pockets and landed gently in the palm of his hand. He looked at the sutras with curiosity until he recognized them, “So, it’s Akira who has made these sutras. I will have to pay her a visit and make sure that she never makes these sutras again. As for you two, I will not permit you to leave this place if you are going to kill more youkai.”

The two men were angered at what happened. Tsutomu attacked first. He fired his gun at the man dressed in black, but the bullet hit a barrier, ricocheted, and hit Yori in the chest.

Yori’s scream was short as he fell, dead, to the ground. The poison in the bullet was deadly to humans and the moment it was released into his body, it killed him instantly.

The outraged Tsutomu picked up Yori’s sword and charged at the man in black.

The young man noticed what the other human was about to do. Taking his remaining ofuda, he threw it at Tsutomu. The moment the ofuda left his hand it burst into flames that went around Tsutomu, engulfing him. The assassin did not even get a chance to scream, he was burned to ashes along with the body of his friend.

The man in black then turned his attention to the wounded youkai. Hurrying to his side, the young took off a bag that was strapped to his side. He unbuttons the youkai’s jacket and rips open his shirt so he can get to his wounds.

The young man’s eyes open wide when he saw the wound. It looked like the bullet broke into pieces when it hit the youkai and did a lot of damage. This was going to take all of his energy and a bit of luck to save the youkai’s life.

He turned his attention to the kitten that had jumped out of his jacket and was standing nearby. “Kirara, I want you to stand guard. I will be too busy with him to pay attention to the immediate area if someone was to show up. Please give me enough of a warning if you detect anyone coming.”

Kirara meowed her understanding and stood guard. She noticed something in the young man’s eyes as they soften just a bit when he was talking about the youkai lord that was lying on the ground. Kirara was wondering if her master was developing feelings for the youkai lord. Only time will tell what the fates have in store for him. She purred, as she turned and listened to see if anyone was coming.

The young man set to work as he pulled out a white cloth and laid it on the ground. Then, he started to take out his herbs as he laid them out in the order that he wanted. He pulled a stone bowl out of his bag along with a grinding stone.

Sesshoumaru watched to see what this human was going to do. He has seen this human battle the other humans to save his life and he didn’t understand why. His beast stirred as he looked at the boy. Then he growled gently, saying, “It is the female we are seeking. She has blue eyes.”

Sesshoumaru was confused as he said, ‘This is a male not a female and his eyes are brown. So what are you talking about?’

His great Inu huffed as he said, “She wears a powerful concealment spell, she is hiding from something or someone. Which I do not know, but this is a female. She has blue eyes and pale white skin. Her cheeks are flushed and her heartbeat is increasing by the minute.”

Sesshoumaru tried to follow what his beast was saying as he turned his eyes towards the male. He looked at him for a few minutes when his beast showed him what he really looked like. His beast was right it was a female with beautiful blue eyes. They were a pale blue like the sky with a hint of gold lining the outside rim. They were beautiful in his opinion and he wondered who she was.

Sesshoumaru gathered his strength and whispered, “Who are you?”

The young man heard the youkai’s question. He replied in a low voice, “Who I am is not important, just know that I’m a friend and a healer. I will help you.”

Sesshoumaru was surprised that her voice was nice and soft. It had a soothing affect on him as he relaxed in her presence. He will have to find out who she is, this female interested him and he was not about to let her out of his sight.

Sesshoumaru grunted, trying to keep his breathing even and paid attention to what the female was doing. He was curious about her and he wanted as much information as he could get.

The young man was concentrating on what he was doing. He took the herbs and put some of them into the stone bowl and started to grind them up. He worked quickly to get it done as he added some water to make it into a paste. Once he was done he took the concoction and put it on the youkai wounds. This paste worked as an antibiotic and pain killer all in one.

He put his hand over the wound as he held the other one out in front of him. He concentrated on his powers as a small blue ball of light formed in his palm. It contained a small piece of his soul that will allow him to heal the youkai from within.

He concentrated on the orb as it moved over the youkais chest and slowly lowered itself into his body. Once inside, it started to seek out the damage that the bullet did. He worked quickly to get his wounds repaired as he shoved the pieces of shrapnel out of the hole in the youkai’s chest.

His other hand was resting on the youkais chest, glowing in a soft white. It was busy pulling the poison from his body while it was being absorbed into his hand.

The man in black was growing weaker by the minute as he hurried to get everything done. If he didn’t spend the day healing all those that were sick, he would have no problem healing the youkai’s wounds. But, he was already weak to being with and this putting a tremendous strain on him.

Sesshoumaru was very much aware of what the girl was doing to him. He could feel her inside his body and his beast went looking for her. He turned his mind inward as he searched for the girl and his beast.

The great Inu was fascinated with the little female. She was the most powerful female he has ever met and if he took her as his mate they will be an unstoppable pair. She will bare him very powerful heirs, but he had to see what she really looked like.

He searched the area where he was hurt and found the piece of her soul there working to mend the damage done by the bullet. Even if she was wearing a concealment spell, her soul was in its true form.

He approached the little female with care. He did not want her to flee before he could see her. He stopped behind her and gazed at her beauty. She was gorgeous in his eyes. She has long black hair that comes down past her waist. You could see the blue streaks that were going through her long strands of ebony.

Her skin looked soft and silky. Long elegant fingers were out in front of her as she meticulously mended broken blood vessels, repaired muscles, and removed the foreign objects out of the wounded area and out of his body.

She was a slip of a female but was very shapely. She had curves in all the right places as she moved about his chest area. She was about to leave when he made his presence known to her.

The soul of the boy turned as it encountered the inner beast of the youkai he was helping. This was not good if he attacked he will be vulnerable to the youkai. He was weak and didn’t have the strength to fight him. He looked up at the beast as it came closer to him.

The great Inu moved closer to the little female as he asked, “Who are you?”

The little female looked up at the beast and was surprised that she could understand him. “I’m a no body that likes to help those in need. If you will please excuse me I will be leaving now.”

She made to leave when a giant paw stopped her in her tracks. She looked up as she took hurried steps backwards, trying to get away from him. She fell on her butt as she looked up at the beast that had her trapped in his body. “Please you must let me go. I’m growing weak and I can’t stay here for much longer, it could kill me.”

The beast knew that she spoke the truth, but he was not willing to let her go until she told him her name. “I will let you go once you have told me your name. You can not lie to me because I can tell when you are not being truthful.”

The little female was in a state of panic, she didn’t know what to do. She didn’t want to tell him her name, but if she didn’t she could die from being away from her body for so long. She didn’t have a choice, she still had things to do and she couldn’t afford to die right now. She looked up at the giant Inu and stated, “My name is Kagome.”

The great Inu growled gently, as he lay down in front of her. He put his muzzle close to her, growling, “Thank you for telling me your name, you are very beautiful. My name is Sesshoumaru. We will meet again soon, of that you can be assured of.”

The great Inu moved away from her as he allowed her to leave. He hurried back so he could observe what she was going to do.

Kagome was finally free to leave. She took one more look around the area to make sure she didn’t forget anything that needed healing. When she was satisfied that she got everything, she left his body in a hurry. She was growing weaker by the minute and the poison was now out of his body. She was containing it in her other arm as the orb formed once more and she left.

The blue orb came out of Sesshoumaru’s body as it hovered above his chest for a few seconds. It then turned, and went straight for Kagome’s chest, entering her body. Kagome opened her eyes as she looked at her other hand and noticed how black it was. She moved her hand away from his chest, pulling up the sleeve of her jacket up, she put her other hand just above where the black of her skin stopped.

She flared her Reiyouku as she got rid of the poison from her body. By taking in the poison into her body she was able to analyze what was in it. Now all she will have to do is develop an antidote for the poison and no more youkai will die.

She sat back on her butt, breathing hard. She was tired and needed to leave this area as soon as possible. She needed to rest so she could recover her strength but first she had to see to Sesshoumaru. She couldn’t leave him here in the garage, she will have to find somewhere to take him and then go home.

She looked at Sesshoumaru and noticed that his eyes were partially opened. She moved closer to him as she asked, “Where can I take you that will allow you to rest until the morning. It’s going to take that long for you to completely heal and I don’t want to leave you on this cold hard ground.”

But, before Sesshoumaru could answer her question his cell phone went off. He had no doubt that his father was looking for him again.

Kagome heard a ringing, it was a cell phone, and she was sure that someone was looking for Sesshoumaru. Maybe they could come down here and take him to a safe place and she could be on her way.

Kagome looked for the phone as she found it in a side pocket of his jacket. She took it out, looking at the caller id to see who was calling. The only thing she noticed was that the name said father, as she opened the phone, but before she could say anything she heard, “Sesshoumaru! Where the hell are you! You are late for dinner and everyone is waiting for you.”

Kagome cringed at the angry voice, she didn’t know who he was, she couldn’t be sure if the male on the other end of the line was truly Sesshoumaru’s father. But, she hoped that he was someone who was close to Sesshoumaru. She cleared her throat as the masculine voice of her concealment spell said, “Ah, hello?”

---oOo---

This is the end of another chapter. A great big shout out to WalkingFingers. She guessed who the man in black was. Well he wasn’t a man but a female. Yes I know it way different but it works. Sorry for the delay in posting but work has been the worst ever and it’s hard to update when your mind is wondering.

A big thanks to Advi, she has been editing my chapters for me. Thanks Advi, miss you mi imoto.

Ok, now that Kagome has healed Sesshoumaru she needs to find a place for him to rest. Hearing that angry voice on the phone makes her doubtful that it could be anyone that might be looking for Sesshoumaru.

In the next chapter Kagome tries hard to get Sesshoumaru’s father to understand what she wants. His son’s are anything but helpful to Kagome as they attack her for various reasons. Join me in the next chapter as Kagome meets Sesshoumaru’s father and all hell breaks loose.

Until the next chapter!

Ja ne!
