A/N: A little something I got inspired to write after an episode of Avenger's Assemble. =3
"I'll admit... I know little of these Avenger's. What I do know is that they're hero's, supposedly in service of Earth. I've yet to see them come to Japan though." Sesshoumaru spoke, as he idly glazed over the various images strewn out upon his desk.
A curious man, face deformed and his skin bright red, stood before him. His sister stood off to the side, clutching a small picture frame.
"They call themselves heroes. But in truth they are little more than the children playing with powers they don't understand." The red man stated.
Sesshoumaru's ears twitched as he could hear the man's breath through the holes where his nose should be.
"If they are supposedly upstanding human beings, why is it they have taken my youngest brother?"
The man in red turned and casually stared out the window. "I'm not sure... they must have saw something in your little brother that was special... something they could use."
"If that is so, why did you come after Souta as well?" Sesshoumaru's brow ticked, this Johann Shmidt, made his skin crawl.
"I had been attempting to preemptively secure the boy, to keep him from being used by the Avengers. I had no intention of using whatever powers he possessed, only to keep him safe and away from them."
"Do you know what they plan to do with him? With Souta?" Both men turned to look at Kagome, her voice soft and stricken with grief.
"Probably train him and make him into an Avenger... though he'll be little more than a tool for them to unleash on their enemies." Johann gave her a look of pity, as her hands tightened on the picture frame.
Kagome stood from her seat suddenly, dropping the picture on Sesshoumaru's desk. "Sesshoumaru.. we have to go get him. Now." she commanded, her voice dripping with anger.
Sesshoumaru regarded her for a moment, inwardly surprised that she would dare to command him, but times had changed him. Instead of wanting to flog her, he sought only to please his adopted sister. His amber gaze shifted to the red skull. "I thank you for this information and insight, but as you can see we have business to attend to."
Johann smiled at Sesshoumaru, offering him and his sister a small bow. "I'm glad I could be of assistance."
And with that the red skinned man left.
"Sesshoumaru..."
"We will leave shortly... dear sister."
