Chapter 1: The battle of the black lake
"Talking"
(Thinking)
(It's quiet…too quiet) The young emperor thought to himself, suddenly his mind was interrupted by a loud croaking voice. "Lord Sesshomaru –sama!!!" a small green imp shouted while running towards the lord.
"What is it Jaken?" the young emperor turned quickly to see what was wrong with the imp.
The imp stopped for a while to catch his breath, when he was done he screamed to the top of his lungs "The enemies are behind us, WHAT DO WE DO NOW!!!" tugging his masters collar he could not stop rocking it back and forth.
The young emperor started to look at the imp with disgust. When the imp saw the masters golden eyes glaring at him he stopped tugging and asked for his forgiveness.
"Forgive me master…I-" Before he could even finish his sentence the emperor spoke.
"You think I would not be prepared for something like this?" he questioned the imp.
With a bit of hesitation the imp answered "N-no". The young emperor thought to himself (Why would father leave me this cowardly imp?) When he realized of what he said he turned silent.
After a few minutes of silence they heard rumbling sound quickly heading their way.
The emperor gave a small grin thinking (finally, they have arrived) then he faced his soldiers and said, "Men I want you to remember this day, the day when you killed another to save your family, future and your country. This man we are about to face does not deserve to live for what he has done." Remembering what this man has done to his family and his country made the emperors eyes flare.
Jaken, looking at his masters eyes made him shiver. "Lord Sesshomaru --sama?" The imp questioned his master to calm him down
When Sesshomaru realized this, he calms down. Then wielding his sword, Tokujin, he pointed to the black lake and screamed "Charge!!"
The history of the black lake was something no one wanted to remember. A lake filled with the bodies of fallen soldiers. And because of this the mixture of their blood and minerals of the water, it made the river darken. It was also believed to be cursed because the gods were outraged of what they have seen they made sure that the original color of the lake will not be restored. And each time a war will be held on the lake it was a sign that both parties of this war shall suffer dearly.
As both parties approached each other in the lake the battle began. The battle was not only long but gruesome. Most of Sesshomaru's soldiers had more than one injury, and his party was deteriorated to an eighth from what he started with.
"Jaken!" he growled while slicing an enemy in half.
"Y-yes m-m-my Lord?" The imp peeked while hiding behind a rock.
"How many soldiers do we have left?" he angrily answered.
Taking out his small abacus the imp started tampering with it and answered. "Uhh.. my Lord we are down to fifteen hundred men."
(Damn it, we lost that much! There is nothing left to do but retreat, the enemy is strong this time) He angrily thought.
Lost in his thoughts Sesshomaru did not notice the enemy soldier scratched his cheek with its spear.
The enemy was about to fuse his spear into Sesshomarus' waist when he felt a strong pain on his chest. Screaming in pain he noticed Seshomarus' clawed hand in between his chest.
Dropping his spear the enemy pleaded for mercy, but Sesshomaru did not heed to his suffering and ripped out his heart with his bare hand.
Looking at his hand he saw the heart of the enemy, still beating, spewing blood from its veins. With disgust he threw the heart to the lake and wiped his hand vigorously.
"This is not worth my time" he said under his nose.
He turned around searching for his servant. When he finally saw the imp he growled "Jaken signal the flare, we are retreating" Even though it pains him to say such words he knew he knew couldn't win this battle.
"Yes sir!" the imp saluted him and in a quick second he took out a small gun from his pocket and fired a red light to the sky signaling the troops to fall back.
