Sesshoumaru's Christmas Carol
Characters based of Inuyasha, story concept by Charles Dickens
Chapter One, How it all Began
Sesshoumaru Scrooge, was (and still is) a cold blooded killer.
Why, he isn't sitting in prison and twiddling his thumbs while he waits to be executed is because he's simply way too clever to be caught by the simple mortal man. Although his murders never leave behind any evidence to convict him with, everyone knows for a fact that it is he the cold blooded killer. Because anyone who ends up annoying him ends up dead.
Because of many murders, his horribly cold exterior, and his strong demonic aura, he has no one he considers his friend or equal.
However, about seven years ago before this story takes place, Marley his only friend (if you could call him that) died.
Marley was as cold and cruel as Scrooge was. Together they had built up an empire, and had successfully made tons of money.
But Marley, we need not discuss him because he is dead and is not important to the story.
As of yet.
Now that we are speaking of the story we shall begin it.
It was a very cold and dark Christmas Eve, a time when most people are home tucking their precious little children into bed, and getting all ready for Christmas the next morning.
Sesshoumaru didn't believe in wasting such time. And even if he did want too, he couldn't tuck his children into bed, because he didn't even have a wife.
Instead Sesshoumaru was very busily working on counting all of the revenue he had just obtained, in his office.
As he was working away the door burst open, and singing filled the room.
"God rest ye merry gentlemen,
May nothing you dismay.
For Sesshoumaru is here to save the day."
Sesshoumaru inwardly groaned. It was that stupid little orphan girl, she was always bugging him. She thought he Sesshoumaru liked her, because he had given her a little piece of candy that he found stuck to his shoe.
"Rin stop that ridiculous singing" glared Sesshoumaru, "The last line of the chorus doesn't match anything"
"Too true" said Miroku Cratchit from the tank like room in the back of the office.
"I hardly doubt Sesshoumaru would save anyone's day"
"Silence you stupid clerk, unless of course you wish to die by my poison claws" replied Sesshoumaru.
Miroku sighed, tried in vain to warm his frosty hands up by the candle light then returned to work.
"Lord Sesshoumaru" said the little human.
"Oh your still here huh? Little girl" said Sesshoumaru as he turned his cold eyes towards her.
Undaunted she continued on "Sesshoumaru can you come to my Christmas party?"
"You're having a Christmas party, human" scoffed Sesshoumaru.
"Uh huh" smiled the little girl. "It's in the alley between the bakers shop and the fruit stand."
"I bet their will be lots of bread and fruit there, huh." said Sesshoumaru very sarcastically.
The stupid little girl didn't get it.
"Uh Huh! I got lots of fruit and bread! M'lord this is going to be such a lovely Christmas party!" said the girl happily as she ran out the door, into the cold snow. The door slamming behind her.
"That stupid human" muttered Sesshoumaru. As if he Sesshoumaru, the GREAT demon lord, would go to a Christmas party with a stupid little girl, in a cold freezing alley, and eat stolen goods. The mere thought was ridiculous.
He was about to turn to his work when to his great annoyance, someone else began banging on the door.
"Stop that banging you insolent fool" said Sesshoumaru from his desk.
The unknown misinterpreted this for 'come on in and have a seat'
For that is exactly what he, Naraku, did.
"So Naraku, you came here to die?" asked Sesshoumaru his flexing his poison claws.
"No, Lord Sesshoumaru I did not" said Naraku "I came here to ask for something"
"Are you so conceited that you think this Sesshoumaru would give you anything"
"I was under the impression that you may be a little kinder near Christmas day'
"Explain yourself"
"Well, you see Sesshoumaru" said Naraku leaning his scary looking hands on the desk, " I came here in behalf of the poor"
"Huh?"
"You see, many poor, poor people most unlike yourself Sesshoumaru, they don't have any demonic power. Thus making Christmas very hard to celebrate" said Naraku
"Sense when did you care about the welfare of the poor?"
Naraku ignored the question in went on "I was wondering if you would spare your demonic powers so the poor could celebrate Christmas."
"First of Naraku, I highly doubt that the poor need demonic powers to celebrate Christmas, and even if they did they wouldn't get any of mine" Sesshoumaru replied coolly.
"But don't you care about the poor?" asked, Naraku acting stunned.
"I care about the poor just as much as you do" said Sesshoumaru.
Naraku
dramatically stood up "Well then, I guess theirs no sense in me
staying in here much longer."
He walked to the door and
before leaving added "You will regret it, Sesshoumaru, not giving
your powers to the poor."
If Sesshoumaru was worried about such a remark he didn't show it. Instead he ordered Miroku to blockade the door to prevent anyone else from coming in. Although this scared Miroku to be locked in a room with Sesshoumaru he did it anyway.
The day slowly wore on and finally the work day was over. Miroku Cratchit grabbed his staff and was about to leave, when Sesshoumaru stopped him.
"I
suppose you would like Christmas day off"
"Naturally"
"Hm, is that so?"
"Yes it is."
"Well, if you don't want to find yourself with my poison claws in your belly, I suggest you come early tomorrow"
With that Sesshoumaru wrapped his huge fluffy fur like thing, around his shoulders and shoved past Miroku and went out into the cold and dark night.
Sesshoumaru quickly walked home. As he was turning the doorknob, he noticed the door hanger.
It was as if it had turned green in grown a beak. It must have been his imagination because the next mille second later and it was the same old tarnished silver that had been there for generations..
Sesshoumaru didn't give much thought to it as he walked up the dark stairs, that were in desperate need of repair. For, fixing stairs was not a high priority on Sesshoumaru's to do list. Sesshoumaru entered his bed chambers which happened to be directly in front of the stairs.
He pulled off the mysterious fluff, his overcoat, and the other coat. Pulled a pen form his shirt pocket, and an ink bottle form his shoe. He never believed in wasting time.
He sat down and began to add names to the "Killing List" of all the people who annoyed him that day. He was thirty minutes into this when he heard a horrible groaning from the bottom of the stairs.
"So heavy" came a familiar voice.
There was a sound of chains and something very heavy being dragged. As well as an odd light coming from under the door frame.
Sesshoumaru's ears prickled, who was that? He knew he had heard the voice before. However he couldn't exactly place it….
More groaning came from behind the door and down the stairs.
Sesshoumaru flexed his poison claws, no one would dare rob he Sesshoumaru. Quietly, Sesshoumaru crossed the room and even more quietly did he open the door, without so much as a creak.
A very odd sight meet his eyes. It was a huge, enormous absolutely mammoth black oni. Two large goat like horns stood out from its long and circular head, where ugly and matted grayish whitish hair was attached.
But the oddest thing about it was, it was dead. This greatly confused Sesshoumaru, how did something so big and unable to move on its own, even manage to get through his door?
"So heavy," came the familiar voice. Sesshoumaru looked around quite collectible for someone for whom a giant oni had appeared.
The voice repeated what it had said.
The owner of the voice was a little tiny green imp. The little imp was covered chains which linked itself to the giant creature. The poor little imp took a step closer and his heavy burden was slowly dragged along.
"Oh, Sesshoumaru-sama," said the imp as he cast his eyes on him.
Sesshoumaru's eyes widened "Jaken Marley?!?"
"Yes, Lord Sesshoumaru it is I Jaken Marley your old friend and business partner!" cried the imp "I came to warn you, of what is to befall you!"
"Jaken what is that thing you carry behind you?"
"That is the thing I could have saved, while I was yet alive, and did not, for once we die we all are forced to carry the bodies of those we could have saved for all eternality" whined Jaken, as tears began to gush form his eyes.
"If only I had saved this Oni before it's death I could have been saved form such miserable chains.."
"Silence Jaken, I have no interest in hearing your sob story" interrupted Sesshoumaru quite rudely.
"Auh Sessh-o-u-maru, why must you treat me so?!" Cried Jaken all the louder, " I came all the way here, dragging this huge giant beast! You could of at least..'
BAM a large brass candle holder passed through Jaken's head hitting the floor.
"Get on with your business and leave Jaken you're wasting my time" said Sesshoumaru as he began to pry another candle holder from the wall.
"Sesshoumaru! What is the point in throwing objects at me?" Cried Jaken "I'm a spirit it will only pass straight through!"
"Old habits die hard Marley, now what is your business here?"
"I have some horrible news the evil demon Naraku" (the ghost of Jaken shuddered to his name) ""is attempting to steal your demonic powers!"
"What else is new? Huh?" asked Sesshoumaru very undisturbed. "if that is all you came to tell you wasted your time"
"No! Sesshoumaru! Naraku, has three spirits, two of which he possessed, working for him!"
"Explain more fully Jaken"
"The three spirits will attempt to take your demonic powers during your times of weakness!"
"Then I have nothing to fear as you know Jaken, I Sesshoumaru have no weaknesses. This is unimportant to me, leave."
"No, my Lord you don't understand! This three spirits will absorb your powers! They will show you things which will bring out compassionate feelings from you! It is when you show your feelings that they will find the weakness, and steal your demonic powers!"
"As I said before Jaken I have nothing to fear, now leave" Said Sesshoumaru
"but" protested Jaken weakly.
BAM, another candle stick holder passed through Jaken
"I leaving m'lord" said Jaken depressingly .
"Good, I want you and that big giant oni gone by the time I wake in the morning." said Sesshoumaru coldly as he reentered his rest chambers.
