Disclaimer: I do not own InuYasha or Bleach.
A/N: Here it is a normal full length SessYoru fan fiction. Some of you are probably like it's about time. I know I've been saying I was going to write one for the longest, but I keep my word and here it is well at least the start of it. This fan fic is rated M for course language, violence, and adult themes. Oh yeah this one was made for cable, ok not HBO or Showtime, but late at night regular cable . I made a cover for this one. I am trying to decide which cover I should use. I have a day and a night version both are on my DA account (Dark-Khaos) if you want to see the day version. I hope you enjoy this story. I look forward to hearing what you think about story and if you think I should go with the day cover instead, just leave a comment, review, or send a PM.
Prologue
Rin took Kohaku by the hand. "Don't look like that Kohaku, it's only going to be for a week."
"I know, it's just that there have been several demons in the area, and'"
She kissed him softly quieting his protest. "You're worried, but you shouldn't. Demons fear the Kamno Shrine, and you three are going to take care of the one that's been terrorizing the travelers on the road to Shinto."
"I know, I know," he kissed Rin on the forehead, " I am going to miss you. This will be the longest we've been apart in over a decade."
"I know, but I promised I would teach these young priestesses about medical herbs. You and I will be back on Mount Kurai playing with grandchildren in no time." She wrapped her arms around his muscled frame. Kohaku ran his fingers through her long salt and pepper hair, and stared into her eyes until they heard InuYasha clear his throat. He turned and frowned at InuYasha. Neji, Sango and Miroku's oldest grandson, shook his head and grabbed InuYasha's red sleeve and started pulling InuYasha away. Rin giggled bringing Kohaku's attention back to her. Kohaku hugged Rin tightly before saying their last good-byes. He reluctantly turned and started walking down the 100 steps. After reaching bottom Kohaku, InuYasha, and Neji waved good-bye to Rin, Aki, Kirara, and the other priestesses. Then they headed for Shinto.
"Don't look so gloomy Uncle Kohaku we'll be back in a few days." Neji patted Kohaku on the shoulder.
"Yeah, Kohaku plus Kirara is there," added InuYasha.
"I know I just have a bad feeling about this."
"I know it's hard being without the one you love. " Neji held his head down, "I still miss my Chidori." He stopped walking and held up his Shakujou staff and looked to the sky. "Why did she have go?"
"Humph," InuYasha frowned, "because you kept flirting with other women."
"InuYasha, I don't flirt, I'm just charming and out outgoing."
"Did you two feel it?'
"Yeah, Kohaku,"
"I sensed it too, Uncle Kohaku, do you think it's our demon?"
"I don't know we're still almost an hour from Shinto, but it's coming from that direction."
"There's one way to find out." InuYasha started running towards the demonic presence.
Neji and Kohaku followed. InuYasha was already battling a green and black centipede like demon when they arrived. "Wind scar" The power of the Tessaiga ripped through the demon in three simultaneous lines of energy. The Wind Scar destroyed the midsection of the demon.
"Curse you half demon", yelled the centipede. He sprayed acid at InuYasha through his huge triangle shaped nostrils. InuYasha jumped out of the way. The centipede continued to spray and InuYasha continued to dodge.
"Look out Neji. " Kohaku pushed Neji out of the way just as the bottom half of the demon rushed towards him.
Neji tossed a sacred sutra on to the demon's back. The bottom half the centipede demon stood up on half its legs and revealed the face of what looked like the face of a very old man. The face screamed like a baby and tried to attack Neji once more. Kohaku pulled out his demon -slaying weapon. The tri-blade weapon ripped the demon's tough exoskeleton, as if was paper. Kohaku was in his late 50s, but he was still the best of the demon slayers.
"Thanks Uncle."
The two men turned and saw InuYasha in the distance still batting with the top half of the centipede demon. "Dammit, this guy won't let up. I can't setup for an attack. He fires before I can move the Tessaiga. All I need is an opening."
InuYasha noticed Kohaku and Neji approaching out the corner of his eye. "Neji a sutra." Neji tossed sutras on the demon causing the demon to close his eyes and scream in pain. "That's all I needed. Wind Scar" screamed InuYasha from above the centipede demon. This time not even bits of demon flesh were left.
"That's another one down" Neji held up what was left the demon's bottom half, "we'll take it with us to make sure this is the demon that's been terrorizing travelers near Shinto."
"No we won't", said InuYasha solemnly.
"What's wrong InuYasha?" Kohaku's eyes grew wide, "Demons and lots of them."
"Yeah, I smell blood and it's Kirara's." InuYasha started running back to the shrine. He saw Aki and wounded Kirara when he emerged from the forest.
"Daddy demons are attacking the shrine, " yelled Aki as Kirara landed. She leaped off of Kirara's back and ran to InuYasha.
InuYasha cupped his young daughter's cheek. "Are you all right?"
"I am fine but Rin and the others need our help."
"Rin, what happened to Rin, Aki?"
"Kohaku, about 20 minutes after you left we were attacked. We have to save Rin and the other priestesses."
Kohaku looked at the wound on Kirara's shoulder. "Kirara, I know you're hurt", but we have to save Rin and the others" Kirara nudged Kohaku with her head, "That's my girl". He rubbed her head. Then he and Neji mount the cat demon.
Aki jumped on InuYasha's back and they headed back to the shrine. She started telling them what happen. "An old man collapsed near the top of the stairs at the shrine. Two of the priestesses went to see about him. They helped him up the stairs. He kept asking for the priestess Sayu. Rin told him that Sayu died thirty years ago. He went crazy and started yelling and screaming. He pushed aside the priestesses and ran into the shrine. He died on the altar and his body dried up and turned to dust. Then a dark cloud appeared over the shrine completely masking the sun. Four red demons with thin creepy bat wings flew out of the cloud. They looked like big bats without ears. Rin told us the man's body defiled the shrine. Another demon showed up out of nowhere he was a lot bigger then the other demons and his aqua eyes the glowed. He has a short pointed horn coming from his face. He's strong he knocked Kirara so hard she transformed back into her kitten form. Then the demon was shot with three arrows and he laughed. He said that we were lucky he needed us alive. That's when Rin shot him with an arrow hitting his horn. It's his weak point. The pain distracted him and that's when Kirara and me escaped to get you. One of the winged demon cut Kirara but we managed to get away."
Neji pointed his staff to the sky and said, "Look at all those demons". Kohaku, Aki, and InuYasha looked up a floating mass of at least a hundred demons.
"InuYasha they're heading past the shrine towards Mount Kufume."
"Yeah, Rin's in the direction as well."
The group continued on to Mt. Kufume, a dormant volcano, a few miles west of the Kamno Shrine. InuYasha and company stopped at the edge of the forest near Mt. Kufume. They saw a larger mass of over a hundred demons circling the base of the volcano and the mass they saw earlier had joined the hundred demons at the top of Mt. Kufume.
"I'll be right back", InuYasha left the group after catching on to a familiar scent. "Shippo" said InuYasha, as he grabbed the fox demon's tail.
Shippo had transformed himself into a worm like demon with an eyeball for his face. He transformed as soon as InuYasha caught him. "InuYasha, what are you doing here?"
"I was about to ask you the same."
"I was on my way back from the fox exams when I saw a winged demon flying carrying a screaming girl. Then I saw the mass of demons. I was going to blend in rescue her. Why are you here?"
"Those guys also have Rin. Let's go" InuYasha and Shippo rushed back to the others. "
"InuYasha, Shippo, we need to think of a plan."
"I have one Kohaku, but first Kirara take Aki home."
"But, daddy I am not a little girl" argued the pint sized Aki. Despite being over 30 years old in human years she appeared to be around 11 or 12 years old due to her demon blood. "I wanna help."
"No arguing Aki," he patted Aki on the head, "you've already been a big help. Now I need you to go home. Take Kirara to Kagome so she can work Kirara's wound."
"Yes, daddy", Aki mounted Kirara and headed back to the village.
After Aki was out of sight Kohaku asked, "What's your plan, InuYasha?"
"This" InuYasha charged at the demon, "Wind Scar". The Wind Scar destroyed over half the demons opening a path InuYasha and the others.
The guys ran into the entrance to Mt. Kufume. The first group of demons they met inside the volcano was smaller in number and weaker then demons on the outside. Shippo was able to take care of the few demons with his fox fire.
"This is easy." Shippo smiled.
Kohaku and InuYasha thought it was too easy. Everyone stopped as they reach three corridors.
Kohaku turned to InuYasha "Do you smell Rin?"
"No."
"Then we'll just have to separate. There is no time to wait. We have to save Rin." Kohaku rushed past the others into first corridor. Kohaku sensed a demonic presence coming from that corridor he'd hope it was the one had taken Rin. Aki's description of demon's strength did not worry him because he was Rin's husband, and nothing was going to stop him from saving her.
"Wow, I didn't know Uncle Kohaku could move that fast."
"Its amazing what someone can do to save someone they love," quietly said InuYasha. "Shippo, you and Neji, take the middle corridor, and I'll take the last."
When Kohaku made it to the middle of the corridor he was stopped by a demon. The demon was so tall the top of his head reached the celling. "Where do you think you're going old man? " Kohaku looked as if he was possessed by demon as his angry and frustration showed on his face. "You mad?" The demon pounded a wooden club against his furry hand as he tossed back his head and laughed. Kohaku didn't hesitate and took the demon down with one strike from his demon slaying weapon decapitating the demon. Kohaku destroyed the demon's head and continued on his way.
It was as if InuYasha had picked the perfect path not one demon blocked his path. The path was long and twisting but easy. The demon scent he'd picked up on earlier continued to move further away. InuYasha swiftly moved toward the heart of the volcano. He could smell Rin's scent he knew she was near.
Shippo and Neji encountered one demon near the end of the corridor. It was one of the red bat demons. The demon was a lot more powerful then the other demons they encountered before reaching the corridor. He used his wings to shield himself from Shippo's fox fire. It would take a combo attack from Shippo and Neji to win. Neji covered the demon's wings in sutras. The sutras burnt holes into the wings creating an opening for Shippo's fox fire. The duo had to run the combo twice, but they were finally able to take demon down. Unfortunately, the tunnel they chose was a dead end.
Kohaku was getting closer, but he had to battle yet another demon and the closer he got to the heart of the volcano the stronger the demons got. The lizard demon he was fighting was the size of a human and very fast. The demon bit his razor sharp teeth into Kohaku's arm tearing the flesh and striking bone. Kohaku ignored the pain and continued to hit the demon. He continued moving back and hitting the demon until he was finally able to reach demon-slaying weapon. Kohaku bashed the lizard demon in the eye with the blunt end of his demon slayer weapon. He struck the demon so hard he destroyed the demon's eyeball. The one-eyed lizard demon screamed and ran away. Kohaku tied a piece of torn cloth around his arm to lessen the bleeding. Then continued towards the heart of the volcano. Almost losing his arm was not going to prevent him from saving Rin.

Meanwhile
'Uncle Sesshomaru, I am glad I saw you." Aki dismounted Kirara and ran to Sesshomaru, "Rin and the priestesses of the Kamno Shrine have been kidnapped. Daddy, Shippo, Neji, and Kohaku have gone to rescue them from Mt. Kufume, but thousands of demons are gathering please help them Uncle Sesshomaru."
"Aki, go home." Sesshomaru did not hesitate and took flight."
"Lord Sesshomaru, wait for me," yelled Jaken as he grabbed on to end of Sesshomaru's fur.
Sesshomaru soon picked up on InuYasha and Rin's scent. He was not going to leave things up to InuYasha. Sesshomaru's eyes widen, as he smelt Kohaku's blood. He moved so quickly Jaken almost fell. When Sesshomaru arrived at Mt. Kufume he destroyed all the demons guarding the mountain with blow from the Bakusaiga. He descended into the mouth of the dormant volcano.
Sesshomaru quickly assessed the environment. There were four large mirrors floating in the volcano. Lava flowed between several islands of rock. On the largest rock island, he saw a white carriage being carried by two men made out of stone. He also saw a large horned demon guarding Rin and the other priestesses imprisoned in a dome shaped barrier. He could not hear what she was saying, but he read her lips saying his name. She appeared to be fine. Kohaku on the other hand was not. Sesshomaru saw the injured Kohaku on a cliff battling a bat winged demon using one arm. Sesshomaru frowned his brother who was fighting a fire-breathing dragon. InuYasha, why haven't you defeated these vermin?
"Sesshomaru, what are you doing here?" InuYasha cut the dragon, which only made the dragon mad. InuYasha jumped to another rock dodging fire being sprayed by the dragon.
Sesshomaru landed near the imprisoned Rin. The guard laughed when he saw Sesshomaru. He looked down on Sesshomaru. "And are you little dog demon?"
Jaken stood between Sesshomaru and the horned demon. "How dare you speak to Lord Sesshomaru like that?"
"Jaken move."
"Yes my lord"
"So you are Lord Sesshomaru," an extremely thin woman with gray leathery skin stepped out of the carriage. Her face and hands were partially bandaged. Her auburn eyes glowed. The hood of her cloak covered most of her silver hair. She opened her cloak and exposed her barely there outfit as she placed her hand on her bony hips. "Goro, be careful he's powerful and dangerous. I hear that sword of his kills a 1000 demons at once. '
"Mistress Helba, he don't look so tough to me. I'll destroy him with one blow." The demon came down with his fists, but Sesshomaru easily dodged him. Jaken scurried away to find a safe place to observe the battle.
InuYasha yelled just as Sesshomaru was about to draw his Bakusaiga, "Don't Sesshomaru, the mirrors".
Sesshomaru noticed that three of the mirrors had move. One was near Kohaku who was moving along the narrow ledge towards Rin, another followed InuYasha as he continued to battle the dragon, and the other was now inside the barrier with Rin.
"Lord Sesshomaru, fire at us if you dare, your love ones will be the ones to pay the price." She tossed back her head and laughed.
Sesshomaru took his hand of his sword. Goro attacked. Sesshomaru was too fast for him. Every time Goro would try to attack Sesshomaru would dodge and counter attack striking Goro with is poisoned claws. Goro became furious and started spitting out fireballs, but Sesshomaru moved faster than Goro could fire.
Goro was so busy fighting Sesshomaru he did not notice Kohaku behind him and Helba, but Sesshomaru saw Kohaku. Sesshomaru also noticed that InuYasha had taking his battle to the opposite side of the Volcano behind him. Helba was too busy watching Sesshomaru and Goro to see Neji riding Shippo who was in his balloon-like form from up above. Neji tossed four sutras onto Khohaku's demon slaying weapon.
Goro took in a deep breath and fired a large fireball at Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru dodged the fireball, and the fireball hit the dragon instead. The fireball burned the scales off the dragon's neck. InuYasha threw the red Tessiaga, which cut through where the dragon had been burnt. The sword continued after cutting the dragon and struck the barrier destroying it. As soon as the barrier was destroyed Kohaku broke the mirror, behind Rin and the priestesses, with is demon-slaying weapon.
"MY MIRROR" screamed Helba.
Rin ran and hugged Kohaku. Neji and Shippo landed and stepped between Helba and the other priestesses.
"It's over", said Neji.
"It's not over until I say it's over priest." She raised her bony hand and pointed her finger. The remaining mirrors gathered and hovered over the largest pool of lava. She began to chant, "Burning ashes, burning bone, burning flesh arise and burn their souls."
The dragon emerged from the lava. Helba laughed as dragon blew fire at Kohaku and the others. Luckily Neji was able to put a barrier.
"Enough of this, Bakusaiga", Sesshomaru struck down Goro. Then he went after the dragon. Bakusaiga had no effect on the dragon because the dragon was already dead. The dragon turned his attention to Sesshomaru giving InuYasha a chance to retrieve the Tessaiga. The Tessaiga transformed into the black Tessaiga as soon as InuYasha picked it up. "Kohaku get everyone out of here" yelled InuYasha as he fired the black Tessiaga sending the dragon to the netherworld in pieces.
"I want allow you to escape," yelled Helba. In one hand she held up a small round mirror that she wore on a necklace and in the other hand she created a red sphere of light.
Sesshomaru moved between Helba and the others "Bakusaiga" he yelled as he fired.
The mirror absorbed the blast and shattered. The shards glass hit Sesshomaru.
"You bastard" Helba fired the sphere.
Sesshomaru back away to where Jaken was hiding to dodge the sphere but it didn't work. Light was attracted to the glass from the mirror and struck him. The blast was big enough to hit Jaken.
"Lord Sesshomaru" yelled Rin.
When light from the blast dissipated Sesshomaru and Jaken were gone.
"Sesshomaru", InuYasha hurried to where Sesshomaru was standing.
"Lord Sesshomaru" yelled Kohaku as he headed back to where Jaken had been hiding.
InuYasha arrived first. Sesshomaru and Jaken were gone. InuYasha did not see or smell Sesshomaru or Jaken. Helba started to laugh.
InuYasha started moving towards Helba. "What did you do to them?"
"I am not telling." Suddenly, the volcano started to rumble. "You should concern yourself the ones you can save instead of a lost brother, half demon."
The lava started to rise higher. Helba got into her carriage. The volcano would erupt any moment. Helba was right if InuYasha did not act quickly everyone would die. InuYasha fired the black Tessiaga over and over until the lava was gone. Helba had already escaped by the time he finished.
When he was finished he left the volcano. Neji and Shippo had left taking the priestesses to safety. The demons had left as well. Only Rin and Kohaku remained. Rin was still working on Kohaku's wounds.
"Thank you, InuYasha for saving us," said Rin.
InuYasha could hear the sadness in her voice. He and Sesshomaru weren't best friends even after all these years, but InuYasha was upset he could not save him. He didn't want such a pitiful death for his brother. Plus, Aki adored Sesshomaru she was going to be heartbroken.
"InuYasha, I found this," Kohaku pulled out a solid gold plate with the likeness of Sesshomaru and Jaken etched in it, "I think this is Lord Sesshomaru and Jaken."
InuYasha looked at the plate. Sesshomaru was in a posed that looked as he was blocking something with his sword and Jaken looked terrified. "It has to be them."
"She must have used a spell to trapped Lord Sesshomaru and Jaken" Rin rubbed her fingers lightly against the gold plate.
Velveteen: Rin and Kohaku are cute together even they get old. Oh no, Lord Sesshomaru is trapped in a plate.
Miko: And it begins poor Sesshomaru, even InuYasha was sad about it.
Peace in Chaos: And Jaken, why does everyone leave out poor Jaken?
Miko: Because fan girls only care about Sesshomaru and all his fluffiness.
Velveteen: That's true. Is Yoruichi gonna get him out the plate?
Peace in Chaos: I am not saying. You'll just have to continue reading to find out what happens next.
Miko: Yeah, well just don't take a year to post the next chapter.
Peace in Chaos: I'm not, I'm not, I'll have it up by Christmas.
Miko & Velveteen: WHAT?
Peace in Chaos: I am kidding. That's all for now gotta finish up the next chapter before Miko starts stalking me. Until next time, peace.
