Imperfection of the Silver Beast
Written by Brandon Degner
Episode IV Black Heart of the Silver Beast
The world was created in one pre-ordained creative instance. Thus those who create are most like god... If you have seen like I have seen into the vastness of open unrestrained infinity, you will be like god, and transcend both demons and mortals...
''Do you even know who I really am?'' Sesshomaru said as his light eyes abruptly opened from within a dream, and he noticed his body completely bound and tied to a steel post. ''I am Lord Sesshomaru, perfect son of the greatest sire; the legend of the Silver Beast himself incarnated before your very stunning eyes.''
''I don't care who you are!'' The brown eyed girl yelled out as she raised her sword again in fear. ''You're nothing but a murderer as far as I see!''
Sesshomaru smiled; she was so scared, yet still, so amazingly beautiful... ''And you are quite deductive. It's not incorrect to call me such a thing. After all, through all my many faults, honesty isn't one of them. I know what I am, and I know what I'm not.'' Suddenly, Sesshomaru easily ripped through the rope and freed himself from his momentary prison.
Her blade was raised to strike again, but this time he was ready. ''Calm yourself... If I wanted you dead, do you think I'd waste my time saying my name to a fool who wouldn't even live long enough to remember?'' Sesshomaru said.
''What do you want from me then!?'' She boldly shouted as she backed away several feet.
''I just want to know your name...'' Sesshomaru continued. ''After all, you're such a lovely girl, an exquisite sight far surpassing the worth of any lustful human eyes.''
''Kirei...'' She whispered quietly, almost hoping he wouldn't hear.
''A beautiful name for a beautiful girl, as is expected.'' Sesshomaru continued. ''Now come Kirei, we must be off, there's no use wasting anymore time here.''
''Why would I go with you!?'' Kirei questioned. ''You murdered my father! I saw my mother bow to you, and taste that very same blade still carrying the murdered blood of my family on it's edge.''
''Do you see any choices here?'' Sesshomaru asked. ''I don't, and the way it seems to me, I killed my previous servant to spare your wretched soul in a moment of weakness... and so as I see it, you owe me your life as long as I let you keep it!''
''Just kill me now... I want to see my father again, and I won't be your slave!'' Kirei shouted as she swung her katana straight towards Sesshomaru's face.
He quickly dodged, almost like a shadow appearing as the deception of the blow landing fooled the girl. ''So rude... did your father not teach you manners?'' Sesshomaru continued. ''Listen human filth, you've been granted the rarest of honors; meeting my blade and walking away with your life. If you don't wanna be called a slave, so be it. But you'll serve me well either way.''
''But why!? Why do you want me of all people? Haven't gotten your balls wet in awhile? Is that it!?'' Kirei questioned as she vulgarly mocked him.
''As I said before, I simply need a servant, but there is another truth if you really seek it...'' Sesshomaru continued. ''My father once told me if I was to ever defeat him, I must understand more than just simple-minded destruction. Albeit, destruction is an essential way, it's not the only way to complete understanding. I need to protect someone he says, and the way it seems, that someone is fated to be you... only you.''
