Lord Inu Daiyoukai and the Feral Huntress

A/N: Sorry it took so long for me to update. I have really been busy lately with school and family. Anyway here is the next chapter, enjoy

Chapter 5: Journey Begins

With Adamina fully healed she was given a black kimono jacket with large sleeves because her original shirt was ruined. The edge of the sleeves was encircled with green tear drop shaped leaves. Her inner shirt was shiny medium green. The inner shirt was opened somewhat showing a hit of her chest. The jewel on her breast was covered, hidden from the prying eyes of the enemy. She was also given black pants to match her top, but she chose to wear her combat pants. Placing the two highly advance automatic black pistols in the holsters by her side. Then she put on her bullet proof vest that had been patched up to some extend thank to her small tool kit. She placed her remaining weapon (12 gauge sawed off shot gun with x-ray capabilities) in the large holster on her back.

Before she left the village she met with Sango and her family for a while and played with all the children including Rin and Shippo. All of them were outside near the field. Kagome passed on Adamina story to her family as Adamina kept the children entertained. Sesshoumaru watched her play with the children as a rather disturbing thought entered his mind. Said thought was about her being an excellent mother to his pups and to his Rin. Wondering where the hell that thought came from he crushed it immediately and let his mind wonder to their enemy.

Deep down he loved the thrill of battle and the only beings that ever gave him a challenge was his brother Inuyasha and his father. Though the brothers still got into altercations like siblings do, Sesshoumaru no longer hated his brother. While Inuyasha is very powerful he is no match for his brother in hand to hand combat, Inuyasha always ends up on his ass when they get into it. Even now when they fight Sesshoumaru doesn’t always walk away unscathed he even lost an arm to him once when Inuyasha used the Tessaiga on him. Nevertheless he always plays it of as if Inuyasha has hurt him at all.
Mostly they fist fight, every blue moon they spar with there swords. Sesshoumaru in his begrudging way teaches Inuyasha a few things about handling a sword. He does this because he thinks Inuyasha lacks discipline and finesse when handle his blade.

His father on the other hand always defeated him when the sparred with each other. Now that Sesshoumaru has surpassed his father he will never get a chance beat him. The thought of his deceased father sadden him for a moment before his thoughts shift back to the alien menace. He thought perhaps those alien creatures will give him a challenge before he kills them. A barely notice evil smirk crossed his lips as he though about what he was going to do to the aliens when he got his claws on them.


Inuyasha sat in the tree and watched quietly as the children played with Adamina. He thought about how ironic it would be if him and his brother mated human females from the future. Especially since Sesshoumaru used to be a total human hating bastard. Then his thoughts shifted to the same one his brother had; he was thinking about the invaders. He would love to get his hands on the bastards, but knowing that the whole pack could possibly be in danger, there was no way in hell he would live them alone. And he could not take them out on the road with him to battle; they had small children to look after. Just as his usual scowl increased at the thought of those freaks even thinking about fucking with his pack, the sound of growls and the seen below got his attention. After seeing the monk sprawled on the ground he nearly fell out of the tree with laughter. Barely able to hold back his mirth Inuyasha said:

“That’s what you get you perverted monk, I told your dumbass to leave her alone!!!” He made a mental note to tell the baka monk later not to mess with an Inu youkai Bitch. Inu youkai particularly Akita's tend to be very territorial. And from Sesshoumaru possessive behavior earlier, he knew his brother liked the human. He also made a mental note not to call Adamina a Bitch. For some reason human females from the future didn’t like to be addressed in such a matter. From were he came from it meant the same thing as woman. It was a sign of respect in the Inu youkai culture. He already has been sat painfully in the past by Kagome for calling her that name. He didn’t want a broken jaw from addressing Adamina in that matter.

‘Wonder how long it will take my jackass of a brother to figure out he likes her.’ He thought as he sat in the tree. He thought it would take a while since his brother acted like a stone statue instead of a living being at times.

‘Crazy Bastard.’ He thought.

The Scene Below:

The entire pack accept for Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru gathered around Adamina and the children. The pack was close by as they continued to talk and joke with each other. The Inu brothers seemed to be relaxed when all of the sudden the monk said some thing that nearly signed his death certificate. After the hentai, comment and a couple growls courtesy of Sesshoumaru and Sango, the poor monk took a right hook to the jaw. Surprisingly it was Adamina who was the cause of the monk swollen Jaw. She might be friendly, but she refused to be disrespected. The nerve of the monk, commenting on how nice her ass looked. Then he had the gall to say that Sesshoumaru had good taste in women. He acted like they were married/mated. It was not appropriate for children to hear such things. Although the children only looked at the monk and shook there heads. It seemed like it was a normal everyday occurrence for the monk to get beat up by women.
Good thing for the monk Adamina held back her regained strength when she pummeled him. After getting to know Sango she knew that the monk was in for enough trouble as it was, she didn’t need to beat him within an inch of his life, that’s was his wife job. Adamina thought that Sango suffered more disrespect then she did, therefore Sango should be the one to beat the hell out of him. She ignored her own humiliation as she left the monk in the slayer hands. Sesshoumaru wanted to beat the hell out of the monk as well, but after taking a deep breath and coming to the conclusion Adamina did he didn’t lay a hand on the pervert. But he did make sure to tell the slayer not to go easy on the monk. She nodded her head as she proceeded to kick the monk ass.

The monk took of running as he yelled:

“I meant no disrespect to any of you Sango; I only meant it as a complement to Lord Sesshoumau and Lady Adamina!!!”

“Hentai Monk!!!” Sango yelled as she tackled him to the ground and punched him in his other Jaw.” Kagome shouted at him about his lack of respect for woman. Inuyasha shook his head almost feeling sorry for him. Miroku was just lucky he was getting the shit beaten out of him and not getting eviscerated by Sesshoumaru. Satisfied that the monk was being disciplined Sesshoumaru went about his business. Adamina stayed behind with the others while he went to the miko’s hut. As he walked toward Kaede hut to speak with Jaken, he wondered if the monk enjoyed it when woman punished him. Come to think of it Inuyasha always said something to anger Kagome. It was almost as if he wanted to get plowed into the ground by the subjugation beads. After all they were always doing something to provoke them…

Jaken during the incident was at the miko Kaede house assisting her at Sesshoumaru command. After he got done, he prepared himself to leave only to have Sesshoumaru tell him to stay in the village with Ah-Un. Even though Jaken was as weak as they come, his staff of two heads should come in handy if the village is attacked. Ah-Un lighting strikes are also useful in battle. Jaken squawked in protest when he was told to stay in the village with the rest of the pack. After several lumps to the head thanks to Sesshoumaru fist and flying rocks, he decided that it was best to keep his beak shut this time and do as he was told.

After saying their goodbyes to everyone they set of to hunt the aliens down. When they left the village, Sesshoumaru sniffed her ripped shirt carefully to see if he could pick up the aliens scent. It was an unseal smell and hard to describe. They smell similar to wet grass, human blood and something else he couldn’t name. Once he picked up their trail, it was easy for them to follow.

Adamina thoughts were all over the place she was trying to focus on anything that would keep her mind of her brother and her companions. She couldn’t afford to break down now; she had a mission to complete. She told her self that if she survives she would cry after those bastards were dead. Her thoughts drifted to the youkai walking by her side:

‘He’s a paradox; he looks like an arc angel (warrior angel). His eyes show that he his far from being an angel, he has seen many battle and spilt plenty of blood. His eyes seem cold yet I have seen a tiny flicker of warmth when he addressed the little girl. In fact he seems to be fond of children in general. If he wasn’t so proud I bet he would have played with them just like I did. But I saw that same warmth when he stared at me when I was recuperating from my injuries. He is centuries old he probably thinks of all of us as children, even the elderly miko Kaede. But for an old man he certainly aged well, he’s a looker… who am I kidding, his absolutely gorgeous. He’s brave, loyal and strong in body, mind and spirit and he has a confident way about him. But sometimes I noticed he can be arrogant and domineering, but I’m not surprised all Inu youkai are like that anyway. Granted I am use to taking ordering being a solider and all, but that will probably get on my nerves. He’s also has a quiet nonchalant attitude. It will be fun pushing his buttons and getting a reaction out of him.’ She thought as she fell behind a bit. She looked his form up and down deciding that she liked what she saw very much. She started to feel hotter then usual and she found herself wondering:

‘I wonder what he would look like without all of those clothes on. Maybe he has more stripes on him like a tiger. He will probably get pissed if I called him that though. Mental note call him that later when the time is right.’ Staring at his rear longer then she intended she thought:

‘I bet he has a nicely sculptured as-‘ Her thoughts stop when she noticed he had stop walking. She was inches away from crashing into his back when she looked up at him. He titled his head and his silver arched eyebrow rose as if he knew what she was thinking. Or perhaps he saw her looking.

‘Shit his nose, what if he smelled that I was…hot and bothered? How could I have forgotten about his senses? Stupid, stupid, stupid…okay girl get it together focus. Just hope that he ignores it if he did.’

Feeling completely awkward, she decided to change her thought pattern again and start a conversation. She felt like a hypocrite for punching the perverted monk:

‘I am just as bad as freaky monk is… Alright think of something to say quick.’ Since she was thinking about said monk and Sesshoumaru pack in general she decided that it was a good enough subject to start a conversation. And maybe it would get Sesshoumaru’s mind off of whatever he was thinking which was probably something not good…

After staring at her for a while longer he turned his head and continued to walk as she walked beside him again. A small smirk crossed his features and left just as quickly before she noticed. Then she spoke.

“Your fam- um pack are very kind people…though that Miroku guy needs to find other things to occupy his mind.” She said in a joking matter. The monk did a She never did hold grudges too long unless someone hurt the people she loved. If that happens she becomes a force to be reckoned with.
‘Hypocrite, hypocrite, hypocrite…’ Her mind chanted over and over again. Even though she didn’t voice her perverted thoughts, the change in her scent probably told Sesshoumaru everything.

Sesshoumaru was different from her in that aspect, he could carry a grudge for centuries. Though he wasn’t planning on ripping the monks head off because of his comments; he was going to give him a good sound beating. He may have mellowed out some since he first met the monk, but not all the way. He decided not to when Adamina took care of him. He didn’t understand it, but in the short time he known her he became very possessive over the Feral Huntress. It was the same thing with Rin only it took him longer to realize it.

He told himself that it was only because of the debt he owed her. Although she needed his help for this mission, Adamina and her comrades were willing to risk there lives to warn a stranger, himself, about a new enemy. She even felt guilty for asking him for his help. He sees her as an honorable human. But another part of him knew there was more to it then just a debt. He was more aware of the other part of it when her smelled change as she stared at his ass. Being a bit conceited, he likes the attention she was giving him. She liked what she saw and the same thing went for him when he looked at her. But he is not going to admit it at least not now, maybe later…

“Indeed.” Sesshoumaru said in agreement, frowning a little as he remembered what the monk said earlier. Then he smirked again as he remembered the monks humiliation. Part of him wished that he had stayed in the village a little longer just so he could watch the slayer beat the shit out of him even more then she already has. Sesshoumaru did have a sense of humor; it’s just that it was deadpan and sometimes sadistic.

“All of the children are so lovable and well mannered. Oh and Rin is a total sweet heart, her sunny disposition has a positive affect on everyone around her. No wonder she got to you.” She said smiling her own sweet smile as she remembered Rins beaming chocolate eyes and happy go lucky attitude.

Sesshoumaru frowned he didn’t like were her thought pattern was heading. But since he was bored and didn’t want to bring up their attraction just yet, he decided to indulge her. He was interested in her opinion for some odd reason. Being the inquisitive youkai he was he decided to not change the subject:

“What do you mean by that?” He said in a calmly. She thought about how to answer him for a few moments before she said:

“Remember when I told you that I learned a lot of information about you in my time?” He merely nodded and kept walking.

“Well I learned that you had a rather…questionable reputation.” As they continued to walk he looked at her out the cornor of his eye. When she seemed to hesitate he said:

“Go on.”

“Well I learned that you were cold, ruthless, indifferent even cruel at times. I know that Rin was one of the main people who affected you in a positive matter.”

“Humph, you make it sound as if a little human pup could turn this Sesshoumaru into a virtuous youkai.” He scoffed. He hated the idea of anyone thinking he had anything ‘good’ inside him. He had the reputation of being a total evil, heartless, cold blooded daiyoukai and he wanted to keep it that way. That’s why when he did a moral deed; he tried to cover it up. The only person that could see right through his façade was his Rin. And perhaps his father, this is one of the reasons he left the Tensaiga to him after all.

“She did. You are risking your life to save a world full of being you use to hate. Which was well…everyone. You saved me when you could have let me to die, and you openly agreed to help me. Not to mention you seem to be protective over me.” She said with a smile.

“Tch, This Sesshoumaru merely helped you out of curiosity. The statement you made about Tensaiga and this Sesshoumaru merely increased my interest.” She smiled at him again; this conversation was a welcome distraction from her depressing thought about her fallen brother and comrades. It was also a welcome distraction from her embarrassment a few minutes ago. She also smiled because she figured out what he was doing, which is something she is familiar with.

Sesshoumaru looked at her and thought:

“Why is this human grinning like a baka.” Then he frowned and said:

“What is so amusing, Huntress?”

“You.”

“Oh, why is that.” He said as he raised his arched silver eyebrow as he tilted his head to look at her as they continued to walk. She looked back at him and said:

“You remind me of my brother. Quiet, sometimes a bit mean, tough and always trying to hide his good side, by coming up with selfish reasons for his actions.”

“You are a delusional human, there is no such thing as a youkai with a ‘good side.’” He said as he narrowed his eyes.

“I disagree; children can see things in people that others may not see. They can tell when someone is pure evil and someone who just chose the wrong path. Isn’t that why you are able to wield the Tensaiga because of your compassion? Rin being the innocent soul she is saw some warmth in your heart. She helped bring it out. Deep down you’re just a big cuddle puppy dog.” She teased trying to see how he would react. She used to play with her aloof brother Avon in the same matter. She knew it wasn’t him but she figured what the hell.

‘He hasn’t tried to kill me yet maybe he will let me get away with it.’

She looked at him and grinned showing her single dimple on her cheek. She always smiled to keep herself from crying, he reminded her of her brother and taking about it made her emotions flare up.

He stopped walking and turned to face her. If looks could kill, she would have dropped dead the very second he glared her. She didn’t flinch or back down she just craned her neck to look up at the tall youkai. She gave him the ‘now what do you have to say look’. He narrowed his eyes as he said.

“Do not mock me human, this Sesshoumaru will not tolerate any of your impudence.” She looked him right in his molten golden orbs with a serious expression as she said:

“I would never mock you to be disrespectful. You are the person who will save the plant, the person who saved my life. It’s just that you remind me so much of him, I could help but tease you.”

“Surely you know that I am not your brother.” He said still frowning, but his features soften a bit. When she said ‘him’ he knew exactly who she was taking about.

“I know, it’s just that you have…well had so much in common. When I made the comment about you being a cuddling puppy, I was just saying that you have a lot more decency and kindness then you give yourself credit for.” She said.

He stared into her hazel brown eyes for a few moments and sniffed the air lightly. Determining that she meant every where she said he thought:

‘Another human that thinks this Sesshoumaru is good…ridiculous.’ Then he spoke.

“This Sesshoumaru name speaks for itself; do not let your lack of judgment be your downfall. The words Kindness and Sesshoumaru are a contradiction.” He said as he continued to walk. His name had many means killing perfection, Destruction man, Perfect Destruction; none of the meanings were good.

She stood there for a moment when he walked off and said:

“Your name may have defined some of your actions, but it doesn’t defiey who you really are.” She said quietly. Sesshoumaru growled a bit to himself at the stubborn female and chose to ignore her. She followed soon after.

Hours passed as they tracked through the forest silently. Adamina sense of smell was in enhanced but not nearly as strong as Sesshoumaru. And it only becomes enhanced when she changed forms. Sesshoumaru sniffed the air lightly and detected something in the wind.

“How fast can you travel?” He asked suddenly.

“Um... if I transformed I could run up to 75 miles per hour, why do you ask?”

“My prey is ahead of us. Your speed is adequate, but not fast enough, come.”

“What do you mean not fast enough!? I can keep up with youuuuuuu!!!” She screeched the last word when he scooped her up and took flight.

She clenched his fur and armor tightly between the spikes as she tried not to scream.

‘Damn. I knew he was fast but this is unbelievable. Those stories about him didn’t give him justice.’ She thought as she clenched tighter causing his armor to creak under the pressure of her small hand.

As they got closer to the target her anger built up again. She will soon be confronting one of the monsters responsible for her family and friends deaths. She tried to calm her anger to no avail as she squeezed Sesshoumaru tail again. He withheld a wince as her grip tightens. He felt rage coming of off her in waves, she was able to hold it somewhat, but he knew she would explode soon. He thought her emotions would cause her to make a mistake. He will not let her get herself killed while under his protection not if he could help it.

He landed a little distance away from the creature, hidden in the bushes. He concealed his aura as he did so. He didn’t want the creature to know he was there just yet. And from what Adamina told him, they have machines that can detect his energy signature.

He set her down and looked her dead in the eyes as he said:

“Stay here.”

“What!? we are suppose to work together remember, I can take care of myself. I have a right to have a shot at him!” She said with anger, a frown taking form on her features. He scowled back at her as he said:

“These vile creatures killed your companions; your emotions and need for vengeance will blinds your prudence.”

“But-" She started to argue, but he cut her off.

“But naught. This Sesshoumaru is their intended target, these are my lands they have invaded. This Sesshoumaru will make them pay for there insolence.” He said sternly.

She gave him a glare that rivaled his own, but figuring he had a point she reluctantly agreed.

“Fine, but be careful, we discovered some of their weapons but I bet they had something hidden up there sleeve.”

“It matter not what deception it has planned, he will die.” He said in a matter of fact tone.

“What about the Tensaiga? Shouldn’t we hide it?”

“No, the Tensaiga will stay with me.” He said. Those bastards can look at it all they want but they can’t touch it.

“Good Luck.” She said and let out an exasperated sigh. She wanted a piece of the action to.

“This Sesshoumaru does not rely on luck.” He said arrogantly as he turned and flew off.

“Stubborn Inu.” She mumbled right before he took of. She heard him growl lightly as he left.

Adamina rolled her eyes and waited in the bushes as she thought:

“I’ll stay out of the fight for now, but if anything else jumps, I am getting involved whether he likes it or not.’

She kneeled in the bushes her eyes glowed neon green as she transformed to her cheetah form and quickly but quietly worked her way towards Sesshoumaru. She only had enhance sense of smell in animal form and she was able to follow the aliens scent as well as Sesshoumaru who smelled of musk, clear fresh rain and a hint of lavender. A scent she found surprising gentle coming from such a powerful creature.

When she got close enough, she hid in the bushes. She saw Sesshoumaru and the plyobio take a fighting stance, while they traded insults. She stayed in her cheetah form waiting to pounce if she is needed…
