-Chapter 1-
Raijin, The God of Lightning

The bright full moon light stood an incredibly powerful demon. The son of a god like dog demon, his power was nearly unlimited. Only a few people stood in his way and hatred burned within his soul for these people. Staring into the shining blue water he thought of one of these people, Naraku. Just thinking of this horribly strong demon angered him. The demon's shimmering long silver hair was waving slightly in the strong wind. He was cloaked in light clothing that was glowing a white color under the moonlight. On his cheeks were purple crests showing his demonic culture. This demon's dull amber eyes stared forward but he was not oblivious to the fact that he was being watched. His name was known well throughout the western lands of Japan. The famous name was Sesshomaru.

Grasping the Tokoujin's sheathe with his clawed right hand he was preparing himself for an assault. Considering he was standing on a cliff he was in the worst position for a battle. Whoever was watching him had to be planning an ambush. Sesshomaru felt the aura of Shikon shards in the vicinity and it wasn't just one.The Demon felt the aura of four shards coming from one being and it was human rather than demon. Finally Sesshomaru decided to speak, " I know you're there ," he continued, "You can't keep yourself hidden from me because no matter where you try to hide I will still sense the aura of shards from the shikon jewel."

"You are a smart one Sesshomaru." A voice said , "I actually believed I could get away with that trick."

Sesshomaru heard footsteps coming near him from further down the hill leading up to the cliff. Within a second the Tokoujin was drawn and in his grip. With a smirk on his face the demon looked at his invisible stalker from a few moments before. Sesshomaru's smile faded when he saw the man approaching him. Although the man was human there was something slightly imposing about him. The man's shoulder length brown hair was waving in the wind that blew so calmly now. His bright green eyes were shining in the darkness. Dressed in light protective armor he didn't seem like a regular human. Clenched in his right hand was a jagged blade that also seemed quite imposing.

"Who are you?" Sesshomaru asked calmly.

"I am Raijin ," he said, " The god of lightning."

Sesshomaru's face didn't change, " I always thought the god of lightning would be a demon."

"Strange," Raijin muttered, "I always believed that a demon wasn't fit to be a god."

Sesshomaru's face finally changed for a moment. Almost suddenly after he had the same calm look on his face that he had on before. He hatedhumans and he knew that this man would be no exception but for some reason he didn't want him dead.

"You and I are in the same predicament as of right now," Raijin said, " We both long for power that reaches the end of the earth. Nobody can beat us in our own minds, but in reality we are not the strongest warriors. You hate it, do you not?"

"What I hate is none of your concern." Sesshomaru said slightly angered.

"To tell you the truth it is some of my concern because I happen to be a lot like you." Raijin responded.

This human was confusing Sesshomaru greatly now. He had never tried to become friends with a human before other than Rin. No, he wasn't even friends with Rin. Sesshomaru didn't need any friends, he only needed himself and his blade. Without the aid of humans or anyone he would become the most powerful warrior in the universe. His name would be known throughout the whole world. The name Sesshomaru would even whisper throughout foreign nations. He glared at the human hatefully but then his glare lightened.

"What do you need of me?" Sesshomaru asked him .

"I need your power ." Raijin said, " With the aid of you I can kill someone that I hate most."

"The name of this person is?" Sesshomaru wondered aloud.

"His name is..." the wind picked up loudly but Sesshomaru heard it. Inuyasha .

"You hate my hanyou brother Inuyasha?" the demon asked .

Raijin smirked at the look on Sesshomaru's face. It wasn't a look of surprise . He thought it was a look of sheer happiness. Sesshomaru knew fairly well that many people all over Japan hated his half brother . Inuyasha was an enemy of the state and Sesshomaru just happened to be related to him. It was not his fault however.

"Yes ." Raijin said, " I hate him more than any other man."

Suddenly there was a rustling in the bushes and Sesshomaru looked towards them automatically. Raijin nodded his head as the warrior leapt into the air. Sesshomaru looked up at him in awe, that man had moved quicker than he himself had. Raijin swung his blade while in midair and a giant blast of lightning flew from his sword towards the bushes. A man cloaked in a baboon fur jumped from the bushes and landed in front of Sesshomaru . Raijin landed behind the man dressed in the strange clothing and looked at him oddly.

"Naraku." Sesshomaru said coldly to the man.

"If only I could have been a little more quiet Sesshomaru my old friend." Naraku said sarcastically.

"Who is the jackass in the baboon fur?" Raijin asked .

"My name is Naraku." Naraku said keeping his back to the human.

"You know that is disre-" Raijin began but he was cut off by Sesshomaru.

"What do you want with me?"

"I want you to eliminate your brother for me." Naraku said.

"Close your mouth." Sesshomaru said , "Your breath reeks of death Naraku."

"When you say his brother ..." Raijin said, " Do you mean the hanyou?"

" Have you met Inuyasha?" Naraku asked.

Raijin laughed as he recollected his memories from the last time he had met Inuyasha. The bastard hanyou had come after him in order to steal his shikon shards. He wasn't alone either . Raijin remembered the girl who could sense the shards, the perverted and fake monk , the kitsune, and of course the hanyou. Their blades had crossed and Inuyasha and his partners had to retreat or face death. Back then Inuyasha was weaker than he but now he was not so sure.

"I have crossed paths with him before." Raijin said .

Sesshomaru was disgusted by the demon standing before him. He rose Tokoujin into the air and suddenly he felt the presence of another Shikon Shard. His blade was knocked to the ground and he looked to the side. Standing beside him in black and green armor that looked just like the Taijiya Sango's was a young boy. His eyes were like empty shells and he seemed possesed. This was undoubtfully the work of Naraku. Using children was something that only an evil person like Naraku would do. Sesshomaru looked calmly at the warrior with the Kusari-gami (Chain scythe) and then looked away.

"You use children for your work now Naraku?" Sesshomaru asked.

"It's pathetic and slightly disgusting." Raijin said.

Raijin looked at Sesshomaru who nodded his head at him. Raijin hoping his plan worked leapt over Naraku's head and landed a few feet in front of the child named Kohaku. Kohaku stared up at Raijin for a second and then realized he had an enemy. Raijin swung his blade rapidly at the Taijiya who dodged each slice with his swift footwork. While Kohaku was distracted Sesshomaru jumped for his blade and grabbed it . Naraku seeing Sesshomaru go for his blade had seen through his plan. A giant plant like root flew from the baboon fur and flew into Sesshomaru's hand knocking the Tokoujin off of the cliff. Sesshomaru hesitated for a minute and then looked at the sash on his waistband . The only blade he had now was the Tensaiga and he couldn't possibly use that. Sesshomaru was now in a very bad situation. He had to fight or die. He smirked. He wasn't planning on dying anytime soon.

"I still have a weapon." Sesshomaru said .

Sesshomaru ran towards Naraku and the demon had no time to react. Sesshomaru had sent his claws into Naraku's arm and the skin started to melt away. Naraku glared up at him and then Sesshomaru was sent flying into the dirt by a plant like root. He looked over towards the two humans fighting and saw Kohaku struggling to fight Raijin. Naraku walked over to Sesshomaru and leaned over him. Kohaku turned his head for a moment to see Naraku and then Raijin seized this oppurtunity . Kohaku was smashed into a tree by the hilt of Raijin's blade. He used the hilt so he didn't draw blood. Raijin set Kohaku down lightly.

"Sorry little buddy." Raijin said looking at the young warrior.

Raijin turned his head towards Naraku and then he sped towards him on foot. Raijin's face was a few inches away from Naraku's face now. Naraku stumbled backwards a little bit. Naraku's demonic smirk disappeared from his face as the human looked ready to kill him. Sesshomaru stood up behind Raijin and then looked at Kohaku.

"Naraku." Raijin said, " I will agree to your pact if you leave me in control of the child that you have been using for your evil."

"All control of the child shall be given to you Raijin ." Naraku said, " I also warn you about that child's older sister. Her name is Sango and she travels with the hanyou that you are going to kill. She is a formidable foe but if she sees Kohaku she will not be able to fight . I will also give him back his memories . As soon as he wakes up he will remember everything he has done."

"Understood." Raijin said.

"I also want you to understand he killed his father and his companions." Naraku said, " He will hate himself and most likely wish for death."

"You bastard.." Raijin whispered underneath his breath, " I will not use this child against his own sister. I am human and I have a heart."

"His name is Kohaku." Naraku said, " I trust that you will treat him well."

Naraku jumped off of the cliff and in a matter of seconds the Tokoujin flew upwards and landed beside Sesshomaru. Raijin came to the conclusion that Naraku was rather fast for a demon. Sesshomaru looked at Raijin with confusion in his eyes.

"Why did you protect me?" Sesshomaru asked.

"You are going to be my partner." Raijin said.

Sesshomaru nodded lightly at Raijin . Raijin walked over to Kohaku and shook him for a moment and suddenly the human child came to. Kohaku looked into the eyes of Raijin and then suddenly he started to shake. Tears began to flow from the child's eyes as the memories of what he had done came back to him. He killed his own father and companions. Raijin looked away from him for a moment and then sat beside the child.

"What have I done!" Kohaku screamed out.

"You have done nothing at all." Raijin said .

In awe Kohaku looked at his new human companion. Sesshomaru stared at the full moon intently. Something horrible was going to happen before this job was over, he swore it.
