Chapter 1: The Beginning of the End
The beginning of the final battle. Sesshomaru was standing there with his father, watching the opposing army gather as they get ready for the end of the war.
Where is Sai? Thought Sesshomaru as he get impatient. She said she would be here to help us take down the humans.
"What is on your mind, Sesshomaru," asked his father. "Are you waiting for someone?"
"Yes."
"Who?"
"Sai"
"What do you see in her that I don't," his father asked again just as he turned to face his son.
"You are asking too much question, father," said Sesshomaru turning to his father.
"Well! Sesshomaru is in love with a human. I thought you hate humans because they don't last very long."
"Sai is a half-demon. She is a lot stronger than normal humans"
"Is that why you love her?"
Sesshomaru paused for a minute trying to find a response.
(Flashback)
He then remembered how he met Sai. She was weak and was being attacked by demons. For some reason Sesshomaru couldn't help but go to her side, even though he had never met her before. A demon was going to attack her from behind as Sesshomaru ran up behind it and stabbed his hand through the demon's chest. Sai turned and saw what Sesshomaru did and she realized he saved her life. The two stood and fought until the last demon fell.
"Thank you, kind stranger. I am in your debt, whatever can I do to repay you," said Sai as she bowed to Sesshomaru.
"Be careful next time I won't be there to help you again. What are you doing out here in the woods," asked Sesshomaru.
"I was paying my respect for the people who died here. Their souls were restless so I came to give them peace. I am a priestess traveling to help those in need."
"I can sense a demonic aura around you."
"I am a half-demon. My father was a demon and my mother a priestess. I'm sorry I must run along because I have business to attend to," said Sai as she ran away into the woods.
Strange one, normally half-demons would have weak aura around them but this one is different, thought Sesshomaru.
(Back to the present)
"She somehow caught my eyes, I've been interested in her for quite some time," said Sesshomaru.
"You will get your heart broken if she dies in human years," said Sesshomaru's father.
Before Sesshomaru could speak, they were interrupted by a small demon child.
"The humans are coming, Lord," he said as he bow.
"Thank you, Taku," said Sesshomaru's father as he ruffed up the child's hair.
Sesshomaru remembered what Sai said before they part for the final battle. Sai was in his arms while Sesshomaru tried to hold on tight.
"Sesshomaru, we must part to see our families," said Sai as she pushed herself out of Sesshomaru's arms.
"I don't want to see my father. He is not serious all the time."
"You need to learn how to lighten up like your father. He shows his soft side to you even when he trains you to fight."
"Sai, I will only show my soft side to you because I love you," said Sesshomaru as he walked to Sai.
Sesshomaru tried to kiss Sai but she stopped him with tow fingers pushed gently on his lips.
"We have to part now but I promise you, if we survive this battle and peace is brought on, we can be together to do what we wish."
Sai slowly began to walk away but Sesshomaru grabbed her hand and pulled her face to face. He leaned down and kissed her. Sai didn't try to fight him off until a few minutes later.
"I will see you on the field," Said Sai, then she ran off.
Sesshomaru was standing there watching until he could see her no more. He could go catch up with her if he wanted to but chose not to. He turned and walked away.
(Back to the present)
Sesshomaru saw the humans were getting ready. A hand was pressed on his shoulders. Sesshomaru turned to face his father.
"Sesshomaru, it is time."
