The Sword of Reversal
My first Sesshomaru and Rin Fan fiction
Chapter one: The Assassin and The target
Author's note: I love these, 'Author's notes' I can say whatever I want to say. Just like those panels in Mangas that Mangakas write their opinions in. Anyway, Although this is my first Sess/Rin fic, it is also my first Inuyasha fic. However, It is an alternate Universe. Very Alter I might add. Meet Sesshomaru Nomura, an assassin looking for the ultimate sword that would make his useless Tenseiga, useable. The sword of Reversal. Actually Kochiken (Old Blood Sword). And Rin Ukiya, a clumsily girl with the worse luck possible andis the keeper of Kochiken and also having it's ability of Anti-healing, reopening old wounds or injuries. Yay! It's gonna be a love story of course. You will have your favorite characters from the show making entrances and exits. So enjoy the Sword of Reversal.
"Ukiya-san!!" Rin's friend shrieked as they watched her friend trip yet again. It was the fifteenth time this week and they were sure she was going to fall on her face. Rin watched as her face came really close to the floor but then she stopped all of a suddenly. Rin blinked wide eyed, wondering if time had stopped but when she looked up she noticed someone has grabbed her.
White hair, amber eyes, a cold stare that made you want to cry for mommy, a sour look on his face, piercing claws in her back. It could only be, Mr. Nomura. Rin frowned as she looked at him, she wasn't really on his good side and she was afraid she never would be. Rin got back her balance quickly and bowed to her teacher.
"Domo Arigatou, Nomura-Sensei. You saved me..." Rin said.
There was silence coming from Sesshomaru and Rin's back was hurting her. She stood up and found that Sesshomaru was already down the street turning the corner. Rin sweat dropped and fell over.
"What a jerk! How about Your Welcome? Or are you okay?" Arisa said.
Rin sighed with a smile. "It's better off anyway...I've been pretty much of pest to him. Nomura-sensei always seems to have something on his mind though. I wonder what it is."
"Rin-Chan!" All three of her friend exclaimed. "He hates your guts. I was surprised he didn't let you fall on your face and break you nose."
"He's not that bad..." Rin laughed nervously.
"Not that bad!" Yukiko said. "How about that time you lost your coat last week. He didn't allow you permission to retrieve it from the office until the next day. You went home in the rain without a jacket."
Rin sweat dropped. "Well, I shouldn't have left my jacket..."
"How about the time, you fell down the stairs and he stepped on your injured body and walked on." Satsuki said.
"And that time he gave you that fifty-page assignment on Japan's feudal era because you were late, because your bike was stolen and you had to walk to school. Then once you spent the whole night doing it, he threw it in the garbage. Refusing to grade it because you also came late that day. Because your dad's old bike broke down on your way to school. He had no compassion." Arisa said.
Rin frowned sighing. "Okay, Nomura-Sensei is a bit mean..."
"A bit !!!" They all started up again. Rin sighed listening to them giving her more and more reasons to hate Sesshomaru but she couldn't. He reminded her so much of someone in her childhood. Although he was way older then her, she still imagined him as an old playmate. Even though, Sesshomaru was mean to her, she only withstood it because she kept seeing that little boy with the white hair and amber eyes that made her so happy in her dreams. And that was the sad truth it was only a dream but it was so real.
"You guys are making too much of this. If Sesshomaru truly was horrible, why did he save me?"
Arisa, Yukiko and Satsuki were silent. They didn't know why he saved her either. They weren't sure, Sesshomaru would just walk pass. Yet, he hadn't and that was very strange. Ever since Seshhomaru been their homeroom teacher, he was mean to Rin, but was this a turning point?
"Maybe, Your be like Chinami Yukio and Nobushi-sensei. They fell in love despite their ages and being teacher and student. Maybe Nomura-sensei likes you." Arisa joked.
"Yea, right Sesshomaru cares nothing more then making students' life a living hell. It's like he doesn't give a damn." Yukiko said.
Rin sweatdopped.
Sesshomaru's house
Sesshomaru punched into the shoji door. Placing a hole through the paper-thin slide. Sesshomaru was very angry with himself. He helped her. That wasn't suppose to happen. It wasn't just that he helped but he helped her on incentive. When he saw her falling, he jumped to catch her but he didn't realize what he was doing. He was an assassin posing as a teacher, just to get close enough to the one whom has the sword of Reversal. The person who has it in their possession was Rin Ukiya, one of his students. He gotten to know Rin's routes home, where she lived, who she lived with, who her friends were, what time her aunt goes to work and etc. He probably knew all of Rin's darkest secrets but it wasn't important. What was important was getting that sword.
"Yo! Sesshomaru..." Sesshomaru rolled his eyes as vigor footsteps came his way. When the shoji was pulled back, it revealed Inuyasha.
"What do you want?" Sesshomaru said coldly. "Don't you know that when you enter one's house, you remove your shoes and socks , you address the person in the house by Honorifics and you knock on the door!"
"That's fine and dandy but I don't give a damn...."
Sesshomaru growled. "Then get out of my house..."
"Don't be too hasty! I just came to see what my brother's been up to." Inuyasha said. "How's the great Assassin?"
"I'll say you annoy him." Sesshomaru said.
"And why is that? Cause you can't beat me?" Inuyasha grinned at him.
"Did you just come here to taunt me? Because some of us actually have things to do with their time..." Sesshomaru took out a stack of papers and started grading them.
Inuyasha frowned at Sesshomaru. His taunting never really got to him. Yea, He beat Sesshomaru but it was only by luck and Sesshomaru is always building in power. Being an assassin he probably found so many ways to kill Inuyasha that it placed shivers down his spine but a fearless look on his face. Inuyasha didn't take Sesshomaru lightly but Sesshomaru took Inuyasha lightly and choose to ignore him or pretend he was lesser than he was.
"So...have you heard from Kagura?" Inuyasha dared to ask.
Inuyasha heard something cracking. It was Sesshomaru's pen. Sesshomaru was grading papers, when the pen's ink spilled all over his hand and the unfortunate student's assignment. Sesshomaru's Amber eyes literally turned red, when he looked to Inuyasha. Inuyasha took that cue to run.
"I told you to never speak of her!" Sesshomaru ripped of the shoji and threw it at Inuyasha out of rage.
The shoji hit Inuyasha in the back but Inuyasha turned around and destroyed the shoji in retaliation. "So what?! I have freedom of speech!"
"Not in my house! Your not even welcomed inside! Maybe if I rip your tongue out...you can finally be silent!" Sesshomaru grabbed Inuyasha by the throat and started choking him. Inuyasha didn't take that sitting down. Inuyasha punched Sesshomaru in stomach causing him to let go of Inuyasha. However, Sesshomaru countered with his claws sinking into Inuyasha's arm. Inuyasha screamed and clawed at Sesshomaru but he missed.
Sesshomaru then leapt on top of Inuyasha and rolling him all over the house with his claws sunken into his back. Inuyasha had his claws in Sesshomaru's stomach. They probably were killing each other and they were probably bleeding to death. They didn't care. They've been grudging and competing against each other since the dawn of time. Now they were just getting out their frustration once more or ending it for good.
"Inuyasha..." Kagome said, wondering what was taking Inuyasha so long. She walked into their battlefield, sweat dropping."Sit!"
Inuyasha brought Sesshomaru down into the ground with him. Sesshomaru wasn't happy about that. He climbed up from the hole in his floor and glared at Kagome.
"you're paying for that!" He growled.
"What the floor?" Kagome said nervously.
"Yes...now get your pet and leave..." Sesshomaru said.
"Sorry...no need to be pushy."
"Whose house are you in?" Sesshomaru glared at her with the cold red eyes.
"Oh right..."Kagome said nervously.
Kagome went and got Inuyasha, dragging him on the floor behind her. Still unconscious from her subjugation. Sesshomaru slammed the door behind them and was tempted to get Tokijin and slice them both up but he had neighbors. Good neighbors that thought he was a nice teacher. The kind of neighbors that were noisy and would call the cops and he'll be throw in jail. He'll never get the sword that way. After all, if he finally gets that Sword of Reversal, he has two ways of killing Inuyasha and torturing him.
Rin's Apartment
Rin watched her Aunt leave for work. She was all dressed professional, with a pants suit and everything but she worked the night shift and no one would see how beautiful she was. Rin felt sorry for her.
"Ja ne..." Rin said seeing her out the door.
"Do your homework, Rin..." Her Aunt said already walking towards the elevator.
"I will..."She called after her, shutting the door.
Rin walked over to the stereo and placed music on. It helped her get through her homework with slight interruptions, of singing some of the songs she knew. Rin began her homework and in no time, she was done with her tedious work that every teenager dreads. Rin sat on the couch continuing listening to music, when she had an idea.
"I bet Kochiken would love to hear music too." Rin said running to the closet. She pulled out a huge trunk, where the sword was held. Rin wasn't suppose to take it out but Rin couldn't help herself. The sword draws her to it and Rin draws the sword to her. Rin took it out of the trunk and took it out still sheathed.
"Would you like to listen to music, Kochiken?" Rin asked it.
The sword began to pulsate, like a beating heart. Rin actually could understand it too. Its answer was yes and Rin smiled, dancing with it towards the living room. Whenever Rin had the sword in her possession, no bad luck befallen her and she was graceful and poised.
Rin held the hilt of the sword and pulled it out of its sheath as a song from a popular Japanese artist came on. She watched the blade shine with a crimson red glow, as Rin danced on her tiptoes with it. Then it didn't become dancing. It became swordplay, as if she was practicing to use it on someone. Rin was in trance and she didn't want to break it. The sword made her feel like a samurai. Full of pride and fearlessness. It made her think she could conquer anything. Do anything she wished.
She finished with a bow as the song finished. "Wasn't that fun?" Rin asked the sword. It pulsated another yes.
"Sadly, I have to put you away now. I don't want Aunt Fubiki to hide you from me again. I am your keeper but a lot of people have been searching for you. And if they find out that I have you, they can kill me. I don't want to die or lose you." Rin said placing it back in its sheath and walking to place it back in its trunk. "This is for the best..."
Rin shut the trunk and place it back, where it was. However, someone had saw her with it. Dancing like a child with the sword and then becoming a warrior. Sesshomaru watched from a building afar. Just wondering what was the best time to attack her.
Outside of Rin's Apartment
"Peeping Tom!" Sesshomaru heard from out of nowhere and was nearly knocked off the ledge of the roof by a book.
"Maybe I should get this over with...but why I keep hesitating. I have killed women before, why is this one so difficult?" Sesshomaru looked back over.
"Need help?"Someone said.
Sesshomaru looked on the roof and found a familiar character. He stood up looking kind of dumb, crouching on the floor. Sesshomaru frowned at Naraku.
"I don't need help from you." He said.
"But it seems like your having a little trouble. I would think you would have finished her off already. Unless you've gotten too close. After all, Killing her main teacher and becoming her new one was a good way to keep taps on her. But maybe you watched too closely..."
"I doubt that..."
"You say that but I refuse to believe you. After all, You don't have Kochiken in your possession." Naraku smiled.
"I'll get it..." Sesshomaru growled. "I don't need to prove myself to you..."
Sesshomaru walked past him getting really annoyed by him. Then Naraku started laughing, that caught him off guard and it was creepy too. Sesshomaru looked over his shoulder at him, glaring.
"You may not have to prove yourself to me but maybe to them..." Naraku said,pointing outward. All Sesshomaru needed to know, that it was very close to Rin's apartment building.
"Nani?!" Sesshomaru walking back up to Naraku and grabbing his collar. "What do you mean by 'them'?"
Naraku broke Sesshomaru's gripped and began walking off. "Good Night, Sesshomaru."
Sesshomaru was about to chase after him, when he sawa horde of demons coming towards Rin . Sesshomaru remained calm but his angry was rising. Rin was his kill not anyone else's. Sesshomaru pulled out his Tokijin and leapt off the building into the horde of demons.
"She's mine!" Sesshomaru yelled.
Meanwhile...
Rin was getting ready to go to bed. All that dancing made her tired. She walked past the window, revealing the demons coming after her. She didn't even see them, she dragged herself towards her room and flopped on her bed. Rin was unaware of what was going on outside of the apartment building and for now it was a good thing.
"Goodnight..."She said to no one.
