As I walked back to wherever we were going with my captors; Suikotsu and Bankotsu, I was trying to think of a plan on how I could escape. I know!
We'd already been walking for quite a bit, and by now, Bankotsu had rested his grip on me a little bit. Suddenly, I saw my chance. With Suikotsu walking beside us, my sword dangling in his hand closest, I could make my move. It was all a matter of time. Suddenly, I yelled something like a battle cry and twirled out of Bankotsu's grip, kicked off the ground and rolled over to Suikotsu yanking my sword out of his hand and rolling further away to a standing position.
Bankotsu chuckled and clapped, while Suikotsu smirked, amused. He pulled out his huge sword to my and pointed it at me. I glanced down at my pathetic little sword and it was inevitable who'd win. UGH, why me?
"Now do you really want to do this the hard way, wench?" He asked, and with that swung a blow that didn't really hit me, but hit in front of me, and I flew over the trees and landed in the rocky ground in front of me, all the while screaming.
Sesshomaru was walking away, ignoring Jaken's constant babbling about the girl, when suddenly, he smelt the familiar scent of blood and heard a familiar scream. Without even thinking, he turned into the ball of light and ran over to the sound of the girl's cries.
Kye was on the ground all sore, but received quite a shock. When she opened her eyes the strange demon, Sesshomaru was standing in front of her, and looked ready to defend her as well.
She gaped at him, but when he whipped his head around to glance at her she played dead, but after two seconds opened on of her eyes. Sesshomaru held back a smirk, as he turned back around though, his expression changed.
"Leave now and I'll let you live." Sesshomaru warned them.
But Bankotsu was too cocky for that.
"HA, you honestly think my fate is up to you?" He snickered. Suikotsu smiled too. "Idiot" he said simply.
That was when the fight seen began. Sesshomaru leaned down in a fighting stance, his hand at his hip where the swords lie. When Bankotsu and Suikotsu began closing in, the sword was drawn, as was Bankotsu's halberd. Bankotsu sent a large amount of lightning at Sesshomaru, whose first thought unwillingly, went to Kye's wellbeing. He deflected the attack with his Tokijin sending back the same amount of power, to make it stop. Suikotsu started closing in on the side of him, so he quickly, sent his green poison whip and hit Suikotsu spot on. He flew to a tree and landed back bloody and unconscious. Bankotsu stood back up unaffected.
"Suikotsu." He whispered, concerned for his brother.
"You want to risk his life?" Sesshomaru asked, glaring at him so deeply to show he was not kidding. Bankotsu sighed, raking a hand through his long black hair, and walked over to Suikotsu, and lifted him over his shoulder.
Kye slowly and awkwardly stood up, not really knowing what to say. Sesshomaru didn't look at her but was aware of every move she made. Just as she was about to leave the forest, Sesshomaru said, "Wait"
Kye turned around and glared at him. "What?!"
"You should stick around with me. Naraku is bound to get to you soon enough, if you're alone." You could tell it was killing Sesshomaru to say that, but he also planned on using her as bait to get Naraku to come out of hiding again. Kye pondered that. Just before she could answer the funny little green imp known as Jaken ran out of the woods. "My Lord, there you are... Oh, it's that girl again!" He babbled on and on like he usually did.
"Uh, I'll think I'mma pass..." Kye awkwardly said, looking at Sesshomaru, who breathed the smallest laugh... or at least that's what she thought he did, up until she collapsed on the ground.
"Kagura." Naraku snarled, from standing in the corner of his castle room, gazing out the blurred door. He was obviously pissed, or frustrated, or BOTH! Kagura stepped in even more slowly prepping herself for what was to come.
"Kagura, that incompetent band of seven has failed at their simple task." He stated, purposely not mentioning how his demon puppet had failed as well.
"Yeah, okay." Kagura sneered, with no ounce of respect in her tone, like all of his other minions.
"It's your turn. Don't you DARE fail me." Naraku ordered, then turned over and smiled, beckoning her to leave.
"SHIT." Kagura cursed as she entered the hall.
When I woke up, I saw Sesshomaru walking away from me. So I wasn't out for very long.
But I still needed protection from these Naraku people... Because he seemed like he had far more people on his side and it didn't seem very smart to be here alone. Sesshomaru had protected me once, however it confused me because it seemed he didn't care.
Maybe he'd protect me again. I walked and followed behind him, keeping my distance and making sure he didn't see me. I felt stupid. And I had no idea why, I just wasn't sure. That was like, three demons attacking me in one day, and I had noticed the attacks had been rapidly increasing lately. l: still.
After a while of just following and looking absentmindedly at the scenery, I hit something. Finally paying attention, it was a big thing of fluff.
"What-" I started, disoriented from my day dreaming.
"Following me, after all?" He asked still not looking at me.
"Puhlease, I am not following you, I was walking this way." I stubbornly lied, crossing my arms.
"It's probably that attitude that makes people want to kill you too, y'know." Sesshomaru stated in a harsh tone.
"I don't need your help." I responded, glaring at him, and walking ahead. "You should know better than to assume Lord Sesshomaru would want to help you!" Jaken squealed, so I picked up a rock and threw it at him, causing him to squeal again and fall on his face.
I walked a few feet in front of Sesshomaru and then turned at the small creak right there. I sat in the shallow water and splashed it on my face. I had no weapons anymore. I'd have to go find a sword smith. But that was hard for me because every village I walked in wanted me to leave because I attracted demons.
Suddenly, the wind picked up increasingly, and the shallow water turned into a wave pool splashing me, and soaking me from head to toe. Angry, I walked across and sat under a single huge tree in the clearing. When the wind didn't die down, I started to get worried, soon it picked up so fast that I couldn't make out anything. Gahk! My heart started to sink, as I waited for something to happen. Suddenly, all at once, it died down and my vision came back to me.
However, some creep of a demon was standing across the water starting at me with eyes full of blood lust. She was a fairly pretty woman, with a long red and white kimono, and long black hair tied up at the top of her head. She held a fan above her head, and it shut. I could already tell she was the cause of the wind.
"Look, go away, dude! I'm done with the weirdness for today!" I called across leaning back on the tree.
"sure I'll go away. But you got to come with me." She smirked. God damn it! I didn't respond, only turned around and franticly climbed the tree behind me. Once I reached the top, I wrapped my arms and legs around the biggest branch.
"Try it!" I called to her.
"Are you kidding? I am Kagura of the wind, but that's not my only power." She smiled again. "Dance of the dragon!" She yelled, and waved her fan. Five big spikes shot out of her fan and were coming right at me. This time, I refused to shut my eyes. Big mistake. I was momentarily blinded by a large flash of white light, and heard this clang, or 'ting' noise. In a moment, the world was back to normal and Sesshomaru was standing at the bottom of the tree, with one of his swords out.
"I said I don't need your help!" I called down to him, but leaned too far and fell of my branch. Kagura momentarily forgot about Sesshomaru and touched her head. I couldn't make out what she was doing until I didn't hit the ground, but hit something soft instead. I closed my eyes thinking it was Sesshomaru's fur. But instead it was a feather. And I was high in the air, with Kagura in front of me! Defenceless! SHIT!
"Idiot" I thought I almost heard Sesshomaru call. I was about to jump off the feather when something really hard hit my head causing automatic dizziness. I fell on the soft feather and shut my eyes fading into darkness.
