A/N Well! It's certainly been a long time hasn't it? I've been very busy with school and work so I haven't updated in a while. This fic is only going to be 2 chapters, but with some persuasion, I will change it to a series. Also I have made a character, Ezekiel to make this a bit different. See ya soon! - wockysrule9000
"Father, Why must we work in the fields everyday? Why can't Pharaoh Naraku help us?" Ezekiel asked his father, Torkun."Ezekiel that could be considered treason! What are you thinking! Tend to your vegetables and do not say things like that again!" Ouch... thought Ezekiel as he watered his cabbages with an old pottery basin. Why do the pharaohs get to be so high and mighty by doing no work? How is that fair to the poor people of Egypt like his own family? They got along, barely. The most they could afford was the taxes and enough food for them and there sole cow, Mahutaeue. Once the older Pharaoh died, Naraku took over the royal throne of Egypt. Since that day five years ago, he has done nothing but enforce cruel laws upon the fair and noble people of Egypt. Making them look like mules instead of the happy, well-joined city that Shinato had so lovingly created for his nation. Night after night, week after week, month after month, Ezekiel left home at moon rise to go to the shallow oasis near his lower Egyptian home.
At the oasis he met up with a group of people who were also distressed about Naraku's treatment of them. There was Inuaysha, the leader of the group and the one who found Ezekiel. He was also from a lower class part of Egypt, but as a prison guard captain. He was invited to the palace frequently and was always disgusted at the way Naraku lived compared to the rest of the populous. So Inuaysha knew the passages around the palace. Miroku was a petty thief that wanted to stand up for his brethren that were thrown into prison and executed for minor crimes. And then there was Sesshomaru, he was ... Sesshomaru. Thats all Ezekiel really knew about him. He just kinda showed up at one of the earlier meeting and the only words he has spoken over the last three months have been when I asked his name. He replied 'My name?...Sesshomaru.' Ezekiel had not heard him say two words since. Tonight when Ezekiel arrived there was a heavy cloud of tension that hung in the air around the makeshift meeting place. "Whats going on?" inquired Ezekiel curiously as he walked over to join the group. "Miroku is dead." was the blunt response from Inuaysha. This news sent a chill up Ezekiel's spine. And the news delivered a heavy blow to his confidence about there operation. "But what about the op-" Ezekiel was cut off by a sudden rushing movement from the shadows. A black gloved hand gripped his head and arm while a dagger blade was held against his exposed throat. A light female voice came from behind him. "Move and the boy dies." she whispered as her grip tightened on the obsidian handle of the dagger. Ezekiel's heart pounded as he realized with horror that Sesshomaru was gone, only Inuayasha remained in front of him.
"Easy now lady, we don't want any trouble. Just let Ezekiel go and we'll leave." He said slowly and calmly while raising his hands in the air. Wait, Ezekiel had seen that before, that was the signal! When he had first found his way to the oasis Inuayhsa had done the same thing and Sesshomaru had jumped him, thats were he went. After a few seconds they both realized Sesshomaru wasn't coming to there aid. As if... "Your sneaky friend has already been subdued, in case you didn't notice." the woman whispered through her mask. Ezekiel was forcefully turned around and to his horror saw something that he would remember for the rest of his life. Laying on the ground was Sesshomaru's body, blood pooling in an oval formation around him from a wound to the skull. Ezekiel turned his eyes toward Inuyahsa and saw a similar look of horror and fear reflected back at him. Suddenly Inuyahsa's eyes changed. First it was a flash and Ezekiel thought he imagined it. Then a wave of dread poured over him as he realized what Inuyahsa was about to do. "You Monster! I'll kill you!" he screamed while lunging at the women, dagger in hand. "No! Inuyasha, it's not wor-" Those were the last words Inuyahsa ever heard as the woman released one on Ezekiel's arms and drew a scimitar, blade still stained reddish black from Sesshomaru's blood. In one fluid movement the scimitar whirled through the air and sliced Inuaysha's throat. He was dead before he felt the pain.
"Now then boy, let's have a little chat shall we?"
