Anti-Venom
Prologue
Sesshomaru had been walking at a steady pace ahead of Rin and Jaken. Naraku's scent was over powering in this area and currently, Lord Sesshomaru was very fixated on finding out where Naraku was located.
And, but of course, Sesshomaru wasn't interested in conversation. Hell would have already frozen over if he had decided that he was going to converse for more than a few moments at a time.
"Jaken," Sesshomaru began.
Jaken scampered over to Sesshomaru's side hurriedly. "Yes! Lord Sesshomaru what can I do for you?" He asked obediently.
"You and Rin stay behind, I am going to go check something out." He said stoically, as usual. Jaken contemplated begging for him to accompany his lord but Sesshomaru had already begun his search.
"So looks like it's just you and me again master Jaken!" Rin announced cheerfully. Jaken sighed.
"So it seems, Rin." Jaken stated sounding glum.
"Master Jaken," Rin began.
"Yes, Rin?" He sounded more grumpy.
"Has Lord Sesshomaru always been this way?" Rin asked.
"What way?" Jaken retorted.
"You know…quiet, stern, that sort of thing." Rin elaborated. Jaken sighed.
"Would you believe me if I told you, yes?" Jaken replied.
"No, not really." Rin answered. "There's a good reason everyone is the way they are."
"I was going to avoid the question but because I know you are just going to insist on asking me then fine. I will tell you why Lord Sesshomaru is the strong but silent leader he is today!" Jaken announced attempting a more epic pose with his foot propped up on a fallen tree. "Come Rin sit! For it might be a tad bit longer than what you are accustomed to. This tale takes place, centuries ago, when our Lord Sesshomaru was still very young and his father ruled the land. Believe it or not the story I'm about to tell you has many, many attributes that you would never imagine would be in Lord Sesshomaru's life!" Jaken was becoming a little over zealous now. "Love! Betrayal! Duels to the death!"
"Master Jaken Lord Sesshomaru already fights quite a bit now." Rin corrected.
"Do you want me to tell you or not?" Jaken retorted.
"Yes master Jaken! I'm ready to hear the story!" Rin cheered happily.
Jaken cleared his throat, rather dramatically, and sat down cross-legged.
"Believe it or not, it all began with a girl." Jaken stated. "A Hanyou girl, at that."
YES very short introduction and I apologize usually I have longer ideas than this, but a second chapter will be on the way up shortly (give or take a few days). This is the first time I've ever written anything for Sesshomaru, I've always had stories with either Inuyasha or Koga (not just on here but between friends) and so I wanted to give it a shot. I would also like to state that this will be taking place before the series start, and way earlier than Kikyou and Inuyasha's back story as well. I feel like Sesshomaru's character will be a challenge for me to keep in character so please if I seem like I put something out of line for him, please suggest I change it (xD). Anyways I hope you look forward to the next few chapters!
