Why are we doing this again?" Inuyasha whined. "Because if we don't Naraku will get the jewel shards." Kagome stated for what felt like the millionth time that day, Inuyasha stared at her blankly "As if Naraku would be able to get them off of Sesshomaru, mean like it's not like he's going to just hand them over to him." Miroku sighed it had been a long and tiring day and could not wait for it to end, Kagome and Inuyasha had been bickering all day and it was driving the group crazy. Not to mention that it been pouring with rain since early this morning hopefully they would reach a village soon and find shelter from this abysmal weather.
As if to answer their prayers a village slowly came into view, thoe no one was outside due to the weather "I do believe that I sense a dark ominous cloud about this village." Miroku said a slight gleam in his eye "Don't you all ways" Sango said in an irritated tone, Kagome looked round and sighed "well it's not like we have much choice since no of us have any money." She said sadly. With that said Miroku swiftly approached the largest house in the village, he knocked on the door and took on a serious expression, a young servant girl opened the door "May I be of service Houshi samma?" She asked "Why yes please tell your master that I sense an evil in his house that I wish to exercise." Her eyes widened considerably "Right away Houshi samma please follow me." She lead them to a large dining room with a withed old man at the head of the table, the servant instantly went and bowed before him and said "My lord I am terribly sorry for interrupting your evening meal, but a monk is here to see you about an evil presence." The man looked up at them in an assessing manner, starting on Miroku and ending on Inuyasha "What of this evil?" he said.
By the end of the hour Miroku had "exercised" the evil and secured a place for them to stay the night.
Later that night
I have never been so scared in my life, well at least not since I was a small pup, thought Sesshomaru as he barrelled his way through the forest, desperately searching for anything that could save him from that foul creature that was hell bent on making him it's next meal.
After what could have been years in Sesshomaru's opinion, the sun had finally risen allowing him to see a village not too far ahead of him, maybe just maybe if he were able to reach the village the demon would leave him be, after all where's there is a village there is a Miko, he should be perfectly safe........that is "if," he managers to get there before he gets caught a negative voice at the back of his mind reminded him, after all the only reason he had survived this long was because he was able to outwit the demon but, to get to the village he would have to leave the cover of the trees and run across a large clearing, if he was not fast enough then his life was forfeit.
Taking what could be his last breath Sesshomaru ran with all his might to the village hoping to hell that he would make it, only to have his legs swept from under him.
Inuyasha was aroused from his light sleep by the sounds of an agonised screech, he was on his feet in an instance and pelting towards the source of the screech, apon arriving he was greeted with the site of a dark haired temptress being straddled by a low ranking heat crazed demon, Inuyasha disgusted with this creature's horrendous behaviour, slayed the bastard before he could do anything else.
Slowly he approached so as not to alarm the wench, on closer inspection he realised.1. It smelt awfully familiar.2. It was wearing a similar kimono top to his bastard of a brother and.3. It was not luxurious dark haired temptress but a man. A slim but well defined man with long luxurious silky black hair that complemented his porcelain skin, alluring lips and a pair of icy blue eyes of which the like he had never seen before, staring up at him with a look akin to horror before he promptly fainted.
