The mighty lord of the western lands was sitting at the side of a pond with a highly annoyed look on his features, which were usually stone stiff. His eyes were half closed and locked on the town near by. Unlike most towns, this one was inhabited totally by demons, but mostly kitsune. Sesshomaru's was wounded, after attempting, many times, to get into the Cave of Dimensions, which had been sealed by not one, but three powerful miko years ago. In this cave lay a staff that only Inu-youkai could use, it had been wielded by a Taiyoukai by the name of Kanryyou (Khan-rai-you) and had destroyed hundreds of villages and the miko that protected them. Kanryyou had been killed after three miko sacrificed their lives in order to summon all their life energy into a single attack. The staff had taken the lives of six more miko on its own before it was sealed. Now, Sesshomaru wanted that power, and would go through all hell itself to get that strength. And what was worse was that others had tried so many times already to enter the cave, and failure was not to be tolerated. Many of the demons who had congregated at the town, called Issho, or "together" because of all the demons there of their own free will. What pissed Sesshomaru off so much was the fact that he was sitting there now, considering joining them. ~The great Sesshomaru, reduced to this...~ he growled mentally, a scornful tone towards the very idea. But it was not as if he still wasn't considering.
Sesshomaru took a moment to mentally kick himself. What was he thinking!? If he, the greatest of all demons couldn't get the staff then how would they? It was simple. They wouldn't. it was impossible. And most were kitsune, who couldn't wield the staff if they did somehow get their dirty claws on it. With new heart (not minding the total irony of the expression) Sesshomaru stood up and headed back to the cave...yet again.
Nearly another hour later, Sesshomaru, Lord of the western Lands, was yet again, sitting on his butt in front of the pond with a pissed off expression on his face. Failed "failed failed" seemed to be written across his forehead, which was just as embarrassing as the butt-whoopin' he had gotten from the wards on the cave.
"Ah, the ancient art of Butt-whoop" a clearly feminine voice said from behind him. Sesshomaru said nothing but turned slightly to glance at the offender, even more annoyed that she had somehow snuck up on him without him realizing it.
"You are?" he said simply, his eyes and features back to their stone expression. She just grinned and spun an innocent purple and black leather rod around from a leather tie around her wrist, "I am me, there is no more to say" Sesshomaru was slightly amused, and also, slightly annoyed. No one dared to speak to him like that. No one. Yet this girl had come out of nowhere and-. that's when he noticed it. Her eyes were a vicious amber, with the feral gleam, two inhuman pointed dog ears rose above her hair, only a demon could have those qualities. And her snide comments, amused, yet scornful temperament. Now knowing that what he faced was a demon he knew to use more caution, "So you are youkai" he said, still emotionless, despite his curiosity. She shook her head grinning cockily, "I'm no youkai! I'm a hanyou" she said proudly. Taken slightly aback at the fact that he couldn't smell her human blood, nor notice her sneaking up on him, and now, she was proud of her tainted blood! This was too much, "you like being hanyou?" he asked slowly, still stone cold. And she just smiled and nodded, "Being hanyou gives me free will, yet with the amazing power of a youkai. But unlike you, I still get to have a soul..." Sesshomaru was amazed at the strength in her voice, despite what was considered- among youkai- a touchy subject. She smiled amusedly then looked out over the town, "You heard? Those fools in that village...they're going to go after the Staff of Dimensions..." Sesshomaru nodded, following her gaze to the village, "they will get nowhere. Those fools know nothing of the cave...nor the staff..."he looked over into the girl's violent eyes. You have not given your name, nor business." he stated flatly. She smirked, "people call me Neo, and that's all I'll say..." she smirked. Sesshomaru's, despite it all, couldn't help but become slightly, ever so slightly fond of the hanyou. Somehow, he knew she had information about the staff, "I asked your business. You will answer me, I Sesshomaru, Lord of the Western lands command you" Neo smirked, "well, that saves me the trouble of asking your name" remarked the highly amused hanyou. She shrugged, "I came here to retrieve the Staff of Dimensions, same as everyone else right?" a triumphant gleam came into his eyes, which, for anyone watching, would have shown them that he did actually care about her answer. Neo noticed said gleam and immediately became annoyed at his "win", "FYI I only told you cause I want to know how much you know" she said with a slight air of haughtiness about her. Sesshomaru found her strange attitude and predictable temperament amusing, and slightly aesthetic. He knew she could never get the staff, so what was the use wasting his energy on destroying her? His information would do her no good, but maybe he could get her to think so and then he would get another victory over what he saw as her clever intellect.
After explaining the origin of the staff to his surprisingly patient listener, Sesshomaru had a new feeling of what could be remotely compared to respect. Glancing around he seemed to realize for the first time how late it was. And even the great lord of the western lands had to eat. As if on cue, Neo looked at Sesshomaru and grinned, "Hey, want to go into Issho and get some food?" she seemed completely at ease asking, despite the request's suddenness. Sesshomaru's stood and looked at her for a moment, wondering slightly where she got all that nerve of hers. Moving slowly, yet surely, the youkai and hanyou made their way to Issho.
They stopped at a tavern, Sesshomaru, being well known, hade no need to "pay" with currency or barter in any way shape or form. The food was alright by Neo's standards, but Sesshomaru stated afterwards that it was "mediocre...but it will do" afterwards, Neo insisted on getting Tea, and surprisingly, Sesshomaru found himself not minding staying in her company a few extra moments. When they had received their tea Neo seemed to lose some of her happy-go-lucky nature, she seemed more quiet as she sat there, and Sesshomaru liked the fact that she could be both happy and energetic, but that, if she so chose, she could be quiet and calm.((A/N- I know! I know! I can't write...but cut me some slack...baka...)) Suddenly there was a loud commotion in the main square, a familiar little green toad youkai and a small human girl stood there. Sesshomaru stood slowly, "I hope we shall meet again" he said formally, then without a backward glance at the hanyou, he left, his face once more a stone shell.
Neo watched him go, mentally making a note of his strengths. She began to list them in her mind- 1. He has no emotions, meaning he trusts no one -2. His aura is incredibly strong 3.- his sword emanated power 4.- he knows his enemy... She was beginning to like this whole situation. But, he didn't know enough about the staff, for gods sake it had been right in front of him and he hadn't known it. She twirled the innocent little purple and black leather rod in between her clawed fingers. Lettering began to appear, seeming to burn itself into the leather.-Dimension Dragon- it seemed to know she was thinking of it. Neo smiled to herself, now everyone would recognize her as the true youkai she was. She smirked viciously to herself, ~Who knew...behind all that talk and energy...I'm just a hanyou, who wants to be a youkai~ . She wanted to be a full youkai, that way, she could have no regrets about the death of humans, let alone anything else, and she could access the true potential of The Staff of Dimensions. But, something bothered her. every time she held The staff it would get eerie writing on it... that spelled out "Dimension Dragon"... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------- A/N- I know it is ooc!....R&R Please!
