The Weird Swords

Chapter 5 - Pretty Girl

Inuyasha landed on the ground. He had just killed another demon having a shikon jewel shard. His claws were tinted with red while he had small wounds on his cheek, right shoulder. “How much more Kagome?” Kagome ran to the neck, taking out the shard, which glowed pink by her touch, and put it in the bottle that was around her neck. “Five more.”

“Damnit.” Inuyasha started walking once again but was met with pain. Cursing at himself, he turned toward Kagome sharply, the simple movement almost causing him to fall down, “Can you sense another one?” With a silent sigh, Kagome scanned the area, picking up a few demons, but not another shard. “No.”

“Could this day get any worse?!”

Thunder sounded up above, a small sheet of rain coming down. Laughing escaped everyone except Inuyasha who looked annoyed. “Damn mother nature.” Turning around he started walking again, the blood dried on him was washed off a little bit. Kagome had her umbrella above her head while Sango and Miroku had pointed, wide hay hats, which could be tied on the side of your head to stay on. Inuyasha didn’t have anything and didn’t care. Thunder purred into the sky while the rain kept coming down calmly onto the Earth below.

-------------------------------------------------

Black, pointed shoes with gray rings walked into a puddle of water that was settled on a patch of grass. The rain drops landed on the head and clothing of the demon lord while he walked through a path with no trees up above. Rin jumped into the puddles, laughing while Jaken was splashed mostly by them. “Rin! Please stop that!”

“Okay Lord Jak-”

Splash!

Jaken was now standing there, like he had water powers, while a bunch of water slipped down his figure. His eyes were half closed in an annoyed way while standing still. Rin giggled at the sight, “Aren’t you supposed to like the water Lord Jaken?” Rin stopped beside him.

Jaken rung out his kimono and hat, water dripping off them like it was half a bucket full of water, “Not forcefully Rin.” Bending down he picked up the Staff of Heads and both of them ran to catch up with Sesshoumaru and Ah-Un.

“Oh, but it’s so much fun to get wet though Lord Jaken.” She looked up while she kept on walking, spreading out her arms and opening her mouth for the water to fall in. “Not when you’re being splashed by excited girls.” Rin just laughed and suddenly ran into Sesshoumaru’s leg, since her eyes were closed. “Ohh?” She blinked her brown eyes and looked up at him. “What is it Lord-”

“Hush Rin.” Sesshoumaru scanned the area, to make sure that powerful presence was real that he just felt. A figure of an old man walked out in a kimono, which looked like Naraku’s, but the shoulders were more pointed. It had golden dragons stitched on it randomly. “Lord Sesshoumaru. I have been expecting you.”

Sesshoumaru narrowed his eyes, “Expecting me?”

The old man nodded, “Surely you remember me Lord Sesshoumaru? I tried to help your father beat that cat demon.”

Sesshoumaru growled, “You, Lord Hekai, left, your followers leaving-”

“Your father ordered us to leave. We fought off many the demons and your father wanted to defeat the cat demon by himself.”

“He got wounded and later-”

“I know what happened to him after Lord Sesshoumaru. Everyone knows.” Hekai looked at Sesshoumaru’s followers, his red eyes catching the young girl’s image, “Ahhh, so......you have a young human with you.”

Sesshoumaru just looked at Hekai like he didn’t hear him. That made Hekai laugh, “Hahahaha, you haven’t changed at all Lord Sesshoumaru. You haven’t changed one bit.”

*Oh yes he has.*

#Majorly, like, totally...................#

~*‘..............................’*~

#................................. #

~*‘..............................’*~

#...........................what the fuck did I say?#

*I don’t know, but-it scared me even more than before.*

~.......likewise.~

“Anyways, Lord Sesshoumaru, there is a reason why I’ve come.” Hekai crossed his arms, the golden dragons now glimmering in the sunlight. “We need your help, and, since we’ve helped your father, you owe us one. There is this dragon, Aridos, who will not help us tell the younger dragons to not eat the innocent humans-”

“Innocent humans?”

“Yes.”

“Why would I participate in-”

“Lucifer told us to do so.”

“Then, that’s the dragon’s duty, not mine.”

“Very well, after all, I was just asking. But, a day has passed and Lucifer is busy. His time is limited to be on Earth. He told me to tell you that you have to help us since you have the swords-”

“Why do you need those swords? You can kill each other with your powers. You don’t need these measly sword’s powers. The fire that you all breathe is hotter than hell itself. The older the dragon is, the hotter it is, while the young ones are nothing but regular fire.”

Hekai smiled, “You seem to know a lot about us.”

“Don’t get your hopes up. My father made sure I knew about all of you.”

“Good, good. But, you still have to come.”

“And why is that?”

“Because, if you don’t, the whole human race will be destroyed in the future. Humans are innocent while some are evil, but, not very much so. We both need the other to survive. Yet......humans are greedy as well.”

“Why would I care to what happens to those who cannot defend themselves? They should be trained the way we are.”

“Yes, but, Sesshoumaru, I am ordering you to help them.”

Hekai’s eyes widened, seeing Lucifer in his humanoid form for the first time in his life. “Si-Sire.” Hekai bowed low on his knees while Sesshoumaru just looked at the demon king.

“Why you ask? Because, you will regret that you never helped to kill Aridos. He may be young, but, his fire is now reaching the point of an experienced dragon. You need to fight in your true form, but, you’ll have to use your poison when you have his neck.”

“And what will we do Lucifer?”

“You and Sesshoumaru will fight Aridos while the others fight the others that he has rounded up. Aridos is fast and that’s why Hekai needs you Sesshoumaru, as well as your poison. I must go, if you need me, contact me by the statue in the throne room.” And with that, Lucifer’s form disappeared. Hekai started walking back to the valley, “Come. Your followers can stay at the temple while you and I will talk to the others when we attack.”

-------------------------------------------------

The rain was still coming down, but, that didn’t stop Inuyasha. “Mmm, oh man, this ramen is better than ever!” Inuyasha gulped down five stands of ramen noodles and took more in the chopsticks to shove more in his mouth. Kagome looked at the flower that was hanging out of the front pocket. ‘I need to go get that tube now.’ She unbuttoned so that the pocket would let her take out the flower in her hand, “Inuyasha?”

“Hmm?” He looked up from putting his head over the bowl while six strands of ramen noodles were tangling from his mouth, his right chopstick helping him by pushing it in his mouth. “I need to go back to my time to get something.”

Inuyasha slurped the ramen noodles and looked at her, “I’m not done yet though....”

“That’s okay. Sango? Can I use Kirara?”

“Sure Kagome.”

“Thank you Sango.” Kagome went toward Sango and bent down and hugged her. “I’ll be back later!” Kirara transformed and waited for Kagome then jumped into the air, flying toward the Bone Eater’s well.

“That idiot, she left her umbrella.”

“Oh, she did.”

“Keh.” Inuyasha went back to his lunch, eating it, even though water was going into it.

The rain had gotten a bit heavier now, but, it wasn’t pouring yet. Kagome looked at the flower in her hand, careful to hold onto it since the wind and rain were whipping against it. ‘Well, at least it’s getting some water now. And, it looks like I forgot my umbrella.’ Kagome shrugged, ‘Oh well.....I like getting wet though.’ She looked up at the sky, just in time to hear the thunder purr loudly in the grey sky.

They flew over trees, and then a village with farm, pickers doing their job whether it was rain, snow, or shine. “We’re getting close.” Kirara meowed, in response and starting going faster. “Whoa!” Kagome had to lean on Kirara’s neck. “You don’t have to go too fast Kirara.” Kirara kept going, not listening to her. ‘I wonder what’s wrong.....’

Kirara landed-roughly. Kagome bumped her head on Kirara’s neck, her hand coming up when she pulled herself upright, “Owww...” She swung off Kirara on her right and petted the cat demon on the head, “Thanks Kirara, wait for me.” Kagome turned to the well, putting her right hand on it and, with a leap, she jumped inside, purple, pink, blue and black power pulled her to her time. Kagome climbed up the ladder, “Ahh, home at last. Now, I wonder where mom is....” Walking toward the door, she pushed it open and ran to the back of her house.

“Ohh! Kagome.”

“Ah? Oh, grandpa.” Kagome went to him and hugged him, “So, you finally decided to come back once for all?”

“Eh-”

“See. I knew it, but did your mother listen? Nooo......and then-”

“Um, grandpa, I’m only here to get something.”

“Eh......ohhh.....your mother is in the kitchen.”

Kagome’s shoes hit the wooden floor while she walked to the kitchen, “Momma?” Her mom turned to her, “Oh! Kagome. How are you dear?”

“I’m good. I-I um-need a tube for this flower.” Kagome brought up her right hand, showing the white flower with golden pollen in the middle.

“Ohhh. That is a very beautiful flower. Hold on just-” Her mom bent down to the bottom of the sink, searching for the very device to hold water for the flower, “-a moment. Oh where is it? I know it’s here some-ah ha!” She walked to the sink, popped open the top and put the tube underneath the water until it reached the top and then walked back to Kagome. “Here you go.”

Kagome took the tube and stuck the stem through the hole, like one of those straw holes. “It fits perfectly.” She smiled and hugged her mom, “Thank you momma.” She was about to leave but, her mom’s voice stopped her, “Now Kagome. I know you more than anyone else. Why did you bring home a flower? You never did when you were in love with Inuyasha.”

“Oh, I still do love Inuyasha.”

“It’s been two years Kagome and you’ve never done that before. Come to think of it-no one does that.”

Kagome blushed, which gave her mom the cue to bend and touch her shoulder and walked in front of her, “Who is it Kagome?” She watched as her daughter looked to the left, a blush going across her nose, “Inuyasha.” Her mom frowned, “Now Kagome, you know I do not like it when you lie.” She took her daughter’s chin in her hand gently and pulled it up, “Who is it?”

Kagome sighed, “His older brother, Sesshoumaru.”

“Oh.”

“That demon lord?! Do you know what his name means?! He is destruction, destruction of-”

“-life. We know grandpa,” Kagome and her mom said together at once. “Now, Kagome.....what is he like?”

“His hair is a bit more silver than Inuyasha’s and very soft. His eyes are amber like Inuyasha but- glassier, like they are blocking something mysterious. He has-oh, I can’t explain everything. May I take the camera with me and take a picture of him for you?”

“Sure, get the old one that develops the picture for you. I simply can’t wait to see the lucky gu-demon.” Her mom winked at her playfully while Kagome and grandpa rolled their eyes. “Alright......” Kagome went to her mom’s room and got the camera not before seeing a picture of her father. “Dad.....” Her sapphire eyes filled with tears while she looked at the picture longer, “.....how I wished I was there to say goodbye.....” Kagome sniffed and wiped the tears away with her right arm. Turning on her heel, she went back to the kitchen to get a bag for the camera sand said goodbye to her mom and grandpa. Running to the well, she opened the right door and jumped into it, the power once again pulling her. Climbing up the vines, she hoisted herself over the lip of the well and was met with Kirara’s growl being directed at the forest. “What is it Kirara?” Kirara crouched into a protective position. Her fangs were bared and her ears were back against her skull while her tail was lifted up to the right. Kagome scanned the area, gasping when she felt a powerful aura and in shock when the owner of that aura walked into the clearing.

He was two inches shorter than Sesshoumaru, being 5’9”. His hair was black, mixed with red, while his eyes were a dark red. On his head were two red and back dragon horns. They were only nine inches though but, the outfit he wore was like Sango’s outfit, only-manlier and baggier. A black and red sash was tied around his waist, like Sesshoumaru’s, while his claws were black and red. Hell, everything he had, even the clothing, was black and red. Kirara snarled and got in front of Kagome. This earned a smirk appear on his mouth, and his deep voice sounded a lot like Naraku’s, but, lighter. “What a fierce pet you have.”

Kagome blinked and glared at him, “I wonder why? Your aura is tinted with darkness.” A laugh came through the dragon’s mouth, “Oh? You’re a miko?” He walked toward her, Kirara lunging toward him. He dodged the cat demon and jumped in front of Kagome, taking a deep breath. “Mmm.....your scent is very nice.” His dark red gaze went over her face, “And beautiful.” Kagome gripped the bag tighter while she kept glaring at him, “Although.......that clothing is a bit too flashy showing your legs.”

Kirara, who had missed his attack, came back again, only to be knocked away with a barrier. “Pitiful cat demon.....if you knew any better, you wouldn’t try to attack me with the aura that I hold.” Kirara only sneered at him while Kagome tried to get past him, “If you please move so I can-”

“I don’t think so.”

“Why are you all so god damned stubborn?!” Kagome put out both of her hands and sent pure energy at the dragon, which earned a grunt. She ran toward Kirara, “Let’s go Kirara! And hurry!” After Kagome got on, Kirara surged upward, obeying as the wind whipped even harder at their faces, while the rain droplets stung them. The dragon demon only smirked and turned into his true form, the same height as Sesshoumaru, and flew after them.

Kagome and Kirara sensed him coming close, “Kirara, go and try to wind through the trees.” Kirara meowed in response and dove down, the dragon demon following them like a sheep going into slaughter, following the rest. The tree branches swerved over Kagome’s head while Kirara dipped down, up, to the sides. The dragon just flew through the branches like they were punching bags.

Kirara suddenly went upward so sharp that Kagome had to hang on for dear life while she screamed. The dragon’s eyes widened while he watched them, his head hitting branches in result. Growling, he flew upward, fire coming out of his mouth. The element went straight toward them like it was a volcano, grazing against Kirara’s tail and legs. With a sharp meow, Kirara and Kagome started falling down. A laugh could be heard from the dragon while he swerved to catch Kagome, letting Kirara land on the ground below while her back legs were burned a bit.

“Let go of me!” The dragon landed in a clearing, his claws stabbing the ground while he sat on his haunches, his right claw holding the miko. The demons that were around the area before he arrived scurried away from sensing his powerful aura. His wings arched forward, their magnificent length creating a curtain to hide his prize while he opened up his claw like she was fragile. “Is that better?” Kagome stood up on his claw and glared up at him, “No. I want to go back to my group!”

The dragon tilted his head to the left, a smirk appearing on his muzzle, “You belong to me now.” His muzzle went down to her form, only to see that she falls back on his hand in fear. A chuckle rumbled through his throat, “Why fear me? I’m completely harmless.” Black smoke blew out of his snout, swirling toward her only to be wiped away by her small hands. “Harmless? Tell Kirara that! You injured her!”

“Not that much.” He went to nuzzle her only to miss, “Mm, playing games now?” His tail came up and pushed her up, caressing her face. “That’s better....you have such soft skin.” Kagome pushed, or tried to, his tail away. It curled around her like a snake and held her while she was nuzzled by the tip the dragon’s muzzle. “Stop that.”

“You smell very nice. It calms me.”

Kagome scoffed, “Spare me with those words because they get old.”

“Alright........I have something else to do then.” His muzzle was drawn back, hovering over her, “Once we mate, we will make powerful children.” The sentence shot through Kagome like a bullet. ‘W-what?!’ She blinked her sapphire eyes and looked up at him, “What do you mean mate? There’s no way I’m going to mate with you!”

“Once a demon, a powerful one, such as me, mates with a powerful miko, the children will be more powerful than anyone. Even the parents. And.....you are going to mate with me.” His form shimmered down to his humanoid form, holding her to him. “Can’t you just feel me?”

“That’s just raw lust.” Kagome glowed pink, burning him for a bit, but he pulled her close once again, dipping her down to the right like he was finishing a dance. “That’s merely just a prick m’dear.” He ran his left hand through her hair while his right arm pressed her to him. Kagome started to struggle while trying to burn him once again with her energy, this one, bigger.

The dragon hissed in anger while he let go of her. Kagome started to run but was stopped by his hands once again, turning her to him and searing pain coursed through the senses on her cheek. “You will pay for that miko.” The dragon said those six words like she was a slave. “Instead of being gentle-I will make sure you will feel pain!”

-------------------------------------------------

“Verdoc, you go with, Shoujin, Mareece, Jergon and Kirk and kill the demons that follow Aridos.” Verdoc nodded, still in younger form, and couldn’t change to the humanoid form yet, but, was maturing and in a couple of weeks he would be able to. Shoujin, Mareece, Jergon and Kirk were thirteen years older than him and would help him to kill the younger demons, and any other, who dared to follow Aridos. “Sesshoumaru and I will go after Aridos since none of you will be fast enough to try and attack him.”

*Kagome is in trouble Sesshoumaru.*

Before he could think, or any of the swords said anything else, he sped out of the temple in a blur, ‘Where is she?’

*To the right. A very long way, so, hurry!*

Sesshoumaru did just that, once again in semi-demon mode, his form now going fast as before.

-------------------------------------------------

“Ahhh!”

The dragon dug his left nails in her right arm to get keep her down. “What is it with you demons who do that?!”

“It’s to make sure you women do not escape.” A smirk once again appeared on his mouth while he watched Kagome’s glare get more intense. “You know miko, that pretty glare of yours is making me excited.” Kagome shivered in disgust and tried to create another source of pure energy but failed since the pain shot at her wrist through her in great heights, which made it hard to focus. “Get.....get off of me!” Kagome struggled once again while the dragon just took off her skirt. That one action brought back the memory of Inuyasha doing the same, her eyes opened while she looked to the right while the images played. A flash of green had knocked the half-breed off of her. ‘Sess......Sesshoumaru....’ Kagome’s eyes pricked with tears while she closed them, letting them fall down her face.

“Crying now? Is the pain too much for you?”

‘Ten......Tenseiga.......please help.......’ A soft hum went through her mind, which seemed to comfort her. “I asked you a question miko.....” The claw flew and slapped her cheek again, “Answer me!” Pain once again coursed through the senses which made her shout out. “Sesshoumaru!!!!”

The dragon’s dark red eyes widened in shock. ‘She knows that demon lord....?’ His eyes narrowed while his mouth put on his sly smirk, “You stupid miko. That demon lord will not come for you.”

-------------------------------------------------

*The demon is now undressing her Sesshoumaru....*

‘Damnit! All of these damned trees are in the way-’ A thought going through his mind, he let the demon that has been chained for two years into control. His limbs and form shifted into a taller demon dog now, only three feet higher than what Inuyasha and Kagome saw at his and Inuyasha’s fathers’ tomb. His paws landed on the trees below like they were twigs while his form ran through the forest.

One small village on the way saw the demon lord pass by, their mouths hanging in shock. “Did-Did you just see that?!”

“Yes!”

“The demon lord is going somewhere very urgent!”

“I wonder what it is!”

The village soon buzzed with talking, everyone turning to the one beside them while the ones who didn’t see it before were bombarded by the explanations of those who did. It was the first time they ever saw the demon lord in that form. Being at that form was dangerous to be met with since that was the demon that coursed through the body of their humanoid form. Both sharing the same heart and soul.

-------------------------------------------------

“You will soon be shouting my name.” The dragon demon had taken off her sailor shirt and the skirt so far. His dark red eyes were puzzled with the contraption that held her breasts out of his eyesight, but, did see that the nipples puckered a bit. He lifted his right hand to brush his fingers against her left breast’s nipple, feeling the hardness of it. A chuckle came from him while he went to the other, “You’re being quiet. Why?”

Kagome didn’t answer, and didn’t want to. This only made him mad. His hand went up to hit her cheek again but was stopped by a powerful aura coming. ‘What the-?’ Realization came to him when he recognized that the aura belonged to the demon lord. Growling, he stood up, his claw jerking away from Kagome’s wrist, which made the blood flow more. He turned into his true form just in time to fly upward to dodge the demon’s poisonous fangs. Sesshoumaru growled while going over Kagome’s form protectively, barking at the dragon. The dragon sneered at him and let out his fire. Sesshoumaru growled and pushed Kagome gently away just enough for her to get out of the fire’s way when he dodged the fire itself.

Her shirt and skirt weren’t so lucky though. Just then, her blood registered in his snout, his anger building up. Snarling, his fangs dripped with venom while his claws scraped against the ground when he moved them, his tail going to the right while the tip curled downward to the left. The dragon landed on the ground, his wings arched while his body was in position in an attacking stance. Black smoke escaped from his snout which meant that his fire was hotter than hell. “Sesshoumaru, why are you protecting a human? And a miko one at that? Is it the reason you want her so your children will be powerful?”

Sesshoumaru growled, and barked a few times back. “Oh? So, you’re protecting her because she’s your brother’s companion?” Another bark. “You’re still protecting her though.....” A snarl came from the demon lord while he barked more at the dragon. “Y-your lands? I don’t sense-” Sesshoumaru had had enough of this and ran toward the dragon and landed on the dragon’s back. He let his claws dig through the skin, which earned a curling roar from the dragon. Sesshoumaru was about to clamp his mouth on it but the scent of blood went through his nose. Not the dragons, but, Kagome’s. A snarl came from his mouth while he wrenched the skin away with his claw, another roar of agony coming from the dragon. Letting the piece of skin fly into the forest, he barked out a series of words that if he dared to come into his lands again, he would surely kill him.

The dragon obeyed and flew off. Sesshoumaru walked toward Kagome, bending his muzzle down he licked Kagome’s wound, the poison only damaging the blood coming out from her wrist while some of it seem to close up the flesh. Kagome moaned and cried out when she felt the poison merge her flesh back together. “Sess......hou......ah...maru.” She hugged the bridge of his nose, enjoying the soft fur against her bare skin. The demon lord stood there while the miko hugged his muzzle. To anyone walking in any moment would think that the miko had tamed him. Without thinking, Kagome kissed the bridge of his nose and layed her right cheek back on it again.

‘She-what is she-’ Wincing, his red eyes closed and pulled away from her. Shimmering down to his humanoid form he untied his obi and took off his armor. The outer haori was in his hands now and he walked over to Kagome giving it to her. “Wear this.”

“A-are you sure?”

“Would you rather walk around like that?”

Kagome blushed, “No.”

“Turn around.” She did so while Sesshoumaru helped her put it on. Since he was taller than her, it wrapped around her like a robe. Picking up the obi, he got close to Kagome’s back, wrapping it around her waist, to keep the haori on, his arms brushing against her left side. Kagome’s blush deepened while her heart picked up it’s pace. Sesshoumaru backed up a bit so he could tie the obi behind her. “I have spares.”

“Inuyasha is not going to be happy at all.”

Sesshoumaru just let out a, “Heh,” while he watched her pick up the bag that held her camera and flower safe. A meow was sounded while Kirara walked from the trees, seeing that Sesshoumaru had given his haori to her so she wouldn’t be semi-naked. Limping, she went to Kagome, meowing. “Kirara.......are you alright? Can you fly to the others?” Kirara looked at her leg, which were almost done healing and looked back at Kagome, nodding. “Okay.” Turning her head back to Sesshoumaru, “Thank you....for saving me once again.”

A nod was given to her by the demon lord while he transformed once again, since that state was easier to get back to the temple. Without further adou, he leaped to the left, running back to the Valley of Dragons. Kagome got onto Kirara and they flew off to their friends.

Boy, were miko and demon lord in for it....

-------------------------------------------------

“Where’s my food?!” The silhouette of a dragon came upon the lower demons, sneering down at them while black smoke flowed from his nostrils like a fireplace with fire.

“We-we couldn’t find any!”

“Yeah! There’s no more!”

“No.....more?” He circled around them, his dark red eyes studying them. “I see two right....” With a leap, his fangs bared while his claws were ready for the kill, “In front of me!” The two demons shouted in alarm and tried to run but were too late. The other demons watched as their leader ate the two demons without hesitation. Tearing the skin away from the fallen demons, the dragon chewed onto the raw meat below and looked at his followers. Black smoke blew from his nostrils while he swallowed it down, “This will be you if you don’t find any food for me.” Fangs sparkled from the sunset while he went down for another bite in his meal while the others mumbled and went to catch more meat for their leader.

-------------------------------------------------

Sesshoumaru finally arrived at the temple, his form shimmering down to humanoid while walking through the small door to the room where he once was. Upon entering, the others looked at him like he had grown another head. “Sorry......it was urgent.”

Hekai nodded his head, understanding, “Your mate was in trouble?”

“No. I do not have one.”

“Oh......very well then. You haven’t missed anything since we were talking about what the others would do when you and I take on Aridos. So.....I guess you can go now.” With a nod, Sesshoumaru walked out, flying toward his lands to patrol. ‘Waste of my time going back.......’

*True.......now, let’s go find that miko of yours, nehehe.*

‘No.’

*No this, no that. Wah, wah, wah! You’re so fucking stubborn!*

#Oh my! She like, cussed, like-#

~*‘Shut up!’*~

#Uh, finnne! Talk to the, like, hilt! Like, jeeeez...............#

~*‘..............................’*~

#................................. #

~*‘..............................’*~

#...........................that’s it. I quit! She’s making me-#

-------------------------------------------------

#Agh! You da-#

-------------------------------------------------!!!!!!!

Kirara swerved down to land where their friends were, landing a bit badly but, didn’t hurt herself or Kagome in the process. “Kagome!-oh my.....” Everyone looked at Kagome’s attire, all of their eyes widened. Arms were behind her while she looked down, while on the bridge of her nose was a line of red, and getting darker than the red on the haori, that Sesshoumaru always wore, that she was now wearing.

Inuyasha went up to her slowly, “What happened to your clothes Kagome? And why is that on you?”

“I um, I almost got raped by a powerful dragon demon and Sesshoumaru came to save me again. And, when they fought, the dragon blew its fire at Sesshoumaru, and I was behind him, so, he pushed me away while he dodged. My long sleeve shirt and skirt weren’t so lucky though.”

“Ah. For a moment, I thought you two had been busy.” Inuyasha shuddered at that thought while Kagome only blushed, but turned away before anyone could see, “Well......I need to get clothes tomorrow. I can’t wear this all the time.”

“Sure you can.” Inuyasha put on a playful smile, “All the demons wouldn’t go after you since everyone knows that that is my brother’s haori.” The others laughed while Kagome put her hands on her hips, pretending to be mad and then laughing with the others.

-------------------------------------------------

The night soon came. The stars lit up the dark sky while their lord, the moon, shown brightly even when it has been battered. A tall dragon, his colors being dark blue and black while his horns were golden and eyes were light blue, lead the group of dragons. Aridos and his followers haven’t sensed their presence yet. Sesshoumaru walked carefully over toward them, walking alongside Hekai, who was leading the group, going straight to where the enemy was.

Hekai let out his fire from his mouth, the burning element rolling forward to attack the forest that Aridos had claimed. They heard shouting and screaming from the fire eating up the bodies, trees and grass. The leader flew from behind the flames, his form glistening into the moonlight while he flew over the fire. Dark red eyes glistened in the cold night while snout pushed out black smoke. “How dare you!”

Hekai chuckled, the black smoke coming from his snout coming out in big puffs like a train, “How dare I? You, along with the other demons, deserved it.” A growl came from Aridos while he surveyed the dragons and then-his dark red eyes widening-at the demon lord. ‘What?! The one that-’ Skinned eyebrows furrowed in anger while his fangs showed into the moonlight, “You!”

The demon lord growled, his tail swishing behind him ready to attack. Aridos looked at Hekai and the demon lord, “You two are mine!” Looking back at the remaining demons, he roared out in command, “What are you all of you waiting for? Hell to open up?! Attack you damned scoundrels!” The demons obeyed, heading straight to the dragons who charged. Aridos sneered at Hekai and Sesshoumaru. His claws gripped the Earth and leaped into the air. Hekai leaped as well, while Sesshoumaru bit the neck of a lesser demon that dared to interfere with them.

“I’m surprised Hekai, that you could still fight.” A chuckle came from the old dragon while he flew after Hekai, “And you still need to learn the basics young one.” Aridos snarled and dove toward the older dragon. Big mistake. Hekai dodged, only to dig his left claw into the younger dragon’s right shoulder blade, “Lesson number one: Never dive at your opponent.” Black smoke escaped from his snout while his light blue eyes glowed into the night. Aridos flew down only to meet with a lunging demon lord. A couple of series of furious barks came toward the dragon, which made him even scared.

Hekai swooped down to scrape the younger dragon’s back while Sesshoumaru took that chance to pounce on the dragon again. Snarling, he bit into the dragon’s neck, but, when his poison saliva was about to go into the dragon’s body, he was thrown off by the force of the younger one. Sesshoumaru skidded across the ground with his four claws, and leaped forward, charging at the younger demon. His eyes seemed to glow brighter, his voice in a rash octave now sounding, “I’ll make sure you will pay for touching Kagome!” It was the first time he had talked in his true form. Mouth ajar while haunches pushed off the ground, his white and silver form went toward the younger dragon.

Everyone watched, frozen in their actions, while they saw in slow motion the demon lord reaching the younger dragon closer and closer. Blood oozed from the contact of the claws while jaws clamped down on the dragon’s neck. Back legs pushed on the ground while his right leg went to the other side of the dragon to help him push it down to dig his fangs more and more into the jugular vein of the dragon. Aridos struggled frantically, fire coming from his mouth while his left wing started flapping. Poison happily flowed into the dragon, coursing its way through the bloodstream, melting everything in its path.

Hekai watched for a bit and then turned to Aridos’s followers, “For those who wish to continue to kill the innocent, will surely pay, but, in a different manner.” To appear more menacing then Aridos, but still kind, he walked up to them, his light blue eyes piercing through the night, black smoke coming from his nostrils, “Am I clear?”

The followers nodded. They surely didn’t want to die. “Good. Off you all go.” They obeyed, quickly to get away. The demon lord spat out the skin and blood from the dragon from his mouth, “I’ll be off.” Hekai nodded at him in agreement while turning to the other dragons, “Let’s make our leave.” They obeyed while leaping into the air, one by one while Hekai was left behind. “Sesshoumaru.” The demon lord stopped and turned his huge form toward him in question. “You care for that miko.......don’t you?”

The bright red eyes of the demon lord looked at the old dragon. After what seemed like forever ticked by, he finally replied, “I do not know Lord Hekai.........I do not know.....” Turning away, he walked back to his lands in silence while the old dragon looked on, a smirk appearing on his muzzle. A huge form of a dragon shimmered to his right, Lucifer, who looked after the demon lord, “He is arguing with himself.” Lucifer looked at Hekai and then at the walking figure of the demon lord. “Aye.......he is. His inner demon probably can’t take it much anymore.” A sigh came from the taller dragon, “He also ignores his feelings.” Hekai nodded, “That he does....how many days has it been?”

Lucifer looked down at the dragon with his head, and, his bright red eyes looked at the walking figure of the demon lord once again, “Four to five days now.”

“That long already?”

“Mmhm. Bokusenou said to give him a week and he may be right. But, someone who had a past like Sesshoumaru isn’t one to change too quickly. They need a chance to heal.”

“I remember that night when his mother died. He was late.....very late. His father looked down at him in sadness as well as anger, but mostly sadness. He was crushed. When he mated with Inuyasha’s mother, the dog leader was happy again. And different.” A chuckle came from Hekai, “Oh yes, very different. He had changed so much. That human of his had changed him like a tamed demon, ready to give her any attention and care.”

Lucifer nodded, “I remember. So fully remember that. Sesshoumaru spent hours of training with his father to become faster. Although, that training really did pay off. I saw the other day that he high tailed his ass to that miko. I almost couldn’t see him in my seeing cloud.”

“Hahahahaha! No wonder he disappeared out of the temple so quickly. It seemed like Aridos put his hands on her and Sesshoumaru could tell when she needed help.”

“The sword. Tenseiga. She has made a connection with Tenseiga. The swords talk to him.” Hekai gaped his muzzle open and looked at Lucifer, “W-what?”

“You heard me Hekai and you know when a thing happens like that.”

“I know fully well! He is-no doubt about it-the true master of those two swords.”

“It seems his father was very smart-or, Fate decided it.” He heard a sigh from Hekai with the words, “as always,” mumbled from his muzzle. “Well, I must go. Mina is waiting.” Hekai rolled his eyes, “You haven’t changed once bit you sex addict.” Lucifer only smirked and disappeared. Hekai shook his head and flew off to the Valley of Dragons.

-------------------------------------------------

Kagome couldn’t sleep. So, she went through her backpack and found her portable C.D. player. Going through her CD’s, she picked one and put it inside. Getting up, she started walking into the forest in the night, making sure no would wake up. She hadn’t realized that she walked right into Sesshoumaru’s lands. She walked through an area that were behind two big bushes, almost the size of regular trees, and saw a beautiful sight! It had a waterfall, flowers, trees and sakura trees placed randomly while fireflies flew in the area, making it enchanted. Smiling, thinking this was the best place, she put the headphones on her ears and pressed the play button, the C.D. now being played and sang with it.

Pretty girl is suffering, while he confesses everything
Pretty soon she'll figure out what his intentions were about.
And, that's what you get for falling again,
You can never get 'em out of your head.
And, that's what you get for falling again,
You can never get 'em out of your head.

Oh, that was definitely happening to her with one certain demon lord in her mind coming up again and again. Sesshoumaru, who just so happened to be patrolling his lands, sensed her nearby. Without even thinking, his feet lead him to her to that enchanted looking place. His ears had picked up her singing voice, as well as words, his inner demon calming, as well as himself, at the sound of it.

It's the way!
That he makes you feel.
It's the way!
That he kisses you.
It's the way!
That he makes you fall in love.

Sesshoumaru hitched his breath, ‘What is she singing about?’ His curiosity made him speed to one of the trees closer to her. She walked to the water’s edge and bent down toward it, the fish swimming toward her, listening to her.

She's beautiful as usual with bruises on her ego and
Her killer instinct tells her to beware of evil men.
And that's what you get for falling again,
You can never get 'em out of your head.
And that's what you get for falling again
You can never get 'em out of your head

‘Why do I have this feeling that she is singing about.....’

*I think she is....*

‘But.....why?”

*We females sometimes have ways to let stuff come out. It makes us feel more relaxed and feel much better afterwards....*

It's the way!
That he makes you feel.
It's the way!
That he kisses you.
It's the way!
That he makes you fall in love.

It's the way!
That he makes you feel.
It's the way!
That he kisses you.
It's the way!
That he makes you fall in love.
Love.

She started walking around the water’s edge her hands going with the words while she sang out, not caring who watched. Sesshoumaru leaped into the air and went to the group of trees that were to her left. Landing behind the trunk of the tree, he listened to it while he had his back to the trunk of the tree.

Pretty girl, pretty girl

Pretty girl is suffering, while he confesses everything.
Pretty soon she'll figure out,
You can never get 'em out of your head.

It's the way!
That he makes you cry.
It's the way!
That he’s in your mind.
It's the way!
That he makes you fall in love.

It's the way!
That he makes you feel.
It's the way!
That he kisses you.
It's the way!
That he makes you fall in love.
Love.

Kagome stopped at the water’s edge, tears running down her cheeks, dripping onto the grass below while bending down to look at her reflection. Sobbing, she closed her sapphire eyes, letting the silent tears continue to slide down the slope of her cheeks. Sesshoumaru smelled the salty tears, wanting to go toward her and give her comfort. ‘It’s me.....’

*Of course......go...go to her.*

‘No.....’ Sesshoumaru was about to leave, but, was stopped by Tenseiga’s angry voice.

*You want her to cry her heart out for you?! She just sang about you! And you want to leave her alone? I thought you were higher than that......*

No answer....

*Fine.......go and walk away. You fucking coward.*

#Tenseiga!#

*Fuck off!*

#You can’t push people!#

*I am not pushing him. He needs to face the fact! If you love her-if you truly love her Sesshoumaru, then you would walk right over to her and comfort her. And, do not tell me he can’t! He’s been denying this ever sense she pulled you out! So, do not tell me he can’t. Bullshit. He’s too stubborn. Too damn stubborn for his-*

Sesshoumaru had had enough and jabbed Tenseiga in the tree, ‘That’s.......enough.’

*Hit a nerve did I? Good. You needed it.*

Sesshoumaru growled softly and left Tenseiga there.

*Hey! Do not leave me! Get your sorry ass over here!*

The demon lord kept walking away, away from his sword and the miko.

*Urg! I just want to strangle someone!* Without realizing it, Tenseiga sparked a dangerous red and attacked the tree, making it explode a bit. Kagome, hearing it, got up quickly to look at whoever gave off the small explosion. Sesshoumaru, hearing it as well, turned around and went back.

Pushing her headphones down to her neck, pulling her hair over it, Kagome walked cautiously up to the tree, seeing Tenseiga embedded in the tree’s trunk made her gasp. “Tenseiga? Did he-” She stopped, feeling her heart speed up, ‘He was here? He-did he hear me sing?’ Taking the hilt of Tenseiga, she pulled it out and started walking ahead, almost running into the demon lord.

“Sesshoumaru?”

Sesshoumaru didn’t look at her, which made her confused, “What’s wrong Sesshoumaru? Why won’t you look at me?” Tenseiga pulsed in her hand, ‘Eh? What?’

*Just wait.*

‘Ah.’ Bringing her left hand up, she waved it in front of his face, “Earth to Sesshoumaru? Come on, tell me what’s-” Sesshoumaru caught her hand and pushed her against a tree nearby-hard. “Stop talking.” Kagome winced when her back connected with the bark of the tree hard. Anger flared in her aura, as well as sadness, “I was only trying to get your attention!” Sesshoumaru glared down at her with his icy glare, one that made a chill go up her spine. ‘I.....I thought I would never receive that look again.’ In that moment, she felt her heart break once again. ‘I can’t believe him!’

“Well, now you have my attention miko. Fully.” Kagome glared back at him, new tears pricking her eyes, “What happened to you? You were so nice! Now-now you’re back to your old self!”

“Nice?” Sesshoumaru’s eyes widened a bit while his grip on her left hand loosened.

“You were! Not right now though.......” Tears kept falling down her face while she looked down, not wanting to see his face. Her right hand on the CD player seemed heavy now. “Why did you go back to your old self?” Without thinking, Sesshoumaru growled, “Why do you always have to cry? I hate it when you cry.” His grip tightened on her left hand and pulled her to him, his right arm wrapping around her. Kagome’s eyes widened while she fell into his grasp, her right hand landing on his collarbone. The CD player dropped to the ground, hitting him in the process but he didn’t seem to care. The headphone wire connecting to it popped out when it went down. Kagome was sure lucky of that.

Sesshoumaru went to her eyes and licked the tears. The movements made Kagome close her eyes while another blush bloomed upon the bridge of her nose while she felt the soft tongue of the demon lord lick her tears away. When he accidentally licked the skin below her eyebrow, she gasped and shuddered. Pulling her head down fast while Sesshoumaru’s right released her left hand, letting it reach forward underneath her chin and pushed her face up. Glassy sapphire eyes locked with soft amber ones.

“Sesshoumaru....” Kagome breathed out his name while he let go of her chin, going to her bangs running his fingers through her hair. His left arm pulled her closer to him, his tall and slim form now against her soft and petite. Kagome’s sapphire eyes widened while her breath hitched when she saw the emotions in the demon lord’s amber eyes. Before she knew it, he put his forehead on hers, his silver bangs merging with her black ones. “Kagome.......” He pulled her closer to him, feeling her fit perfectly with his body. His right hand went to the base of her neck, above her headphones, “What......have you done to me?”

Amber eyes closed themselves in contentment while sapphire looked up at the demon lord in awe of his beauty. “Done.....to you?” She shifted against him, now wishing she hadn’t since she enjoyed the feeling down below her hips. Closing her eyes, she bit back a moan surfacing her. While doing so, she bent down and her body moved against him again. ‘Ah! Stop that!’ A growl, a soft one, made her look up at the demon lord, who still had his eyes closed and looked like he was enjoying it. “What......” A breath came out from the demon lord while he felt his fangs lengthen and looked down at her, “....are you trying to do?” The words slipped through his teeth, almost like a hiss and a whisper combined. Kagome blushed, “I-I’m sorry. I didn’t-what I mean is-” Making a frustrated groan she let her head fall, “I mean-I do not know...” Her forehead rested itself on cloth. White cloth, which was worn by the demon lord. ‘Oops......’ Kagome immediately pulled her head up, the blush reappearing and getting darker. “Sorry. I didn’t mean to-”

A finger landed on her lips, silencing her. “I know.” Sesshoumaru moved the tip of his nail over lips, which earned a squirm, and an amusing noise, from Kagome. “Don’t do that! That tickles!” Sesshoumaru let out a deep chuckle and did it again. Kagome groaned and batted his hand away, “Stop that!” The hand, the right, came back to her, only to trail the nail across her cheek, underneath her jaw, and then back up across her chin to her lips. “And.....what if I don’t want to? What are you going to do about it Kagome?” A sly smirk appeared on the demon lord’s face, which earned a glare from the miko. “I’ll-” She kept her face scrunched up in anger while she though to herself, ‘What will I do?’ Before she even thought about it, she leaned up and kissed the lips of the demon lord.

Big mistake.

Sesshoumaru was a taken back at her very bold action. But, the moment only lasted until she broke the kiss. The blush was now the color of ketchup, “I’m-sorry that-that wasn’t supposed to happen-” Kagome tried to pull away and run, but, Sesshoumaru kept her there. “Why are you running?”

“I just kissed you!” Kagome tried to get out of his grip once again, wanting to go and be on her own to think about why these things were happening. Sesshoumaru lifted up his right eyebrow, “Is that a bad thing?” He watched as she stopped struggling and looked up at him. Sesshoumaru brought down his head again to her left eye and licked the skin below her eye, chuckling when she shuddered. A moan came from her while he continued, “Please.....stop.....” Sesshoumaru did so and let go of her, watching her as she picked up that strange round device in her right hand. Before she went, she turned toward him and smiled, “I’ll see you later Sesshoumaru.” And with that, she ran off back to her friends.

#Wow........#

*You had to ruin the moment, didn’t you?*

~Idiot......~

#Blah, blah, blah! It was hard enough for me to shut up all through that time....#

~*Heh.*~

Sesshoumaru started walking to the left, his mind filled with the miko and his lips still tingling from her kiss.

-------------------------------------------------

Kagome walked into camp and hurriedly put up her CD player along with her headphones. Looking at the flower poking out of the pocket made her smile when she was reminded of the demon lord. Unbuttoning it, she took out the flower and rubbed her left fingers on the petals. ‘So soft.........’ Her smile deepened. Carefully, she got into her sleeping bag and put her hand underneath the pillow and put the other hand, which had the flower in its grasp, close to her face. The smell of the flower helped lure her to sleep with a smile on her face.

-------------------------------------------------

“Ahh! Sister, did you see that?!”

“Yes Destiny, I did.”

“I didn’t know that it would be so soon, but it was very romantic.”

“Yes, yes it was. See, I told you it would be better.”

“Of course sister. You always have the best of plans. What next?”

Lady Fate just smiled slyly at her sister, as well as taunting, “Well now, where would the fun be in that?” She watched as Destiny pouted and chuckled, “You just can’t wait for the good stuff to come, can you?”

“Well, since you know me well enough, and I’m your sister, I think you know the answer.” Both of them looked at each other and then laughed, “My, my Destiny, did you happen to pick that way of talking from me?”

“I don’t know, did I?” While both of them giggled, their father was only shaking his head. “When will they grow up?”

“Never dear. Now, stop complaining. The world needs this and since it’s their job, let them do it.”

“I’m not afraid of Fate, I’m afraid of Destiny.”

“Do not worry dear. Fate has her in control, which is good. She never listens to any of us but her sister.”

“True......still have more of that wine?”

“Yes.”

“Good. Give me three glasses please?” His wife chuckled, “But of course dear.”
