Chapter 1

In Feudal era Japan, rivalries between demons raged. The rivalry of the great dog demon and the thunder dragon, Ryukotsusei, is one that has raged for centuries. The thunder dragon grew tired of the dog demon's presence and began one final battle against the dog demon. Ryukotsusei gave his only son a sword of power, similar to the dog demon's tetsaiga. As well as the rivalry among the dog demon and thunder dragon, conflicts grew between the sons.

"Sesshoumaru, I wish to meet no other on the battlefield." The young dragon called out to a man standing on the edge of a cliff.

The man turns his head at the sound of his name. His yellow eyes gazed down on the dragon. Red slash-like marking rest upon his cheeks, end a mark of the moon rest on his forehead. With the breeze that blows in the night are, his long silvery hair sways to the movement of the air around him; same as the fur worn with his light armor and white kimono. A half filled moon filled the soon to be battlefield with light.

"I can say the same; but I assure you, I shall be the one to slay you and your father." The man said to the dragon.

Sesshoumaru raised his hand and flexed his claws. The son of the thunder dragon drew his sword from its sheath on his back. The sword grew to over twice its size the moment it was unsheathed.

"Try me," he said.

At the sound to those words, Sesshoumaru attacked using his energy whip. The son of the thunder dragon raised his sword to block. He threw off the attack and, at the same time, swung his sword and released a blast of electrical energy aimed at Sesshoumaru. Sesshoumaru leaped into the air avoiding it and thrust forward at the son of Ryukotsusei, attacking with his claw. The son raised his sword to black again. The force of the attack knocked the two apart.

As they fought so did their fathers. The sky over Japan grew dark as the battle raged. The dog demon managed to seal the thunder dragon in a sleeping state with one of his claws, but escaped the battle mortally wounded.

Sesshoumaru attacked. The force of the blow knocked the thunder dragon's son off the cliff. His sword falls from his hand and transforms back to its original form before landing somewhere in the village below. He hits the ground hard and merely lays there. After a moment, he struggled to his feet, only to see a high priest and a group of monks surrounding him.

"Reokomaru," said the priest. "You have caused enough suffering. Be vanquished demon!"

The priest and all the monks put their hands together and chanted a spell. A strong light and energy bounded Reokomaru from moving. He tries to get free but his efforts were in vain. The priest and monks finish their spell and a sphere of light drag Reokomaru away to a cave in the mountains. Sesshoumaru watches from the top of the cliff. "Damn…" he mumbled under his breathe; unpleased he wasn't the one to finish him, then turned and walked into the forest.
