Chapter 6: New Enemies

She sighed blowing a section of hair from her eyes as she watched the crowd of students and teachers head back into the school. The tall male she followed with her eyes. She could sense the determination to defeat her and make her submit in him. No one had managed such a thing before. She thought it highly unlikely that he would manage it.


The bitch had left as soon as the battle had finished. 'No one defeats this Sessho-Maru,' he thought bitterly to himself. It had never been done before. Then this female hiding her demonic traits from everyone comes and manages what his father has a hard time doing. He paused under a tree on the school grounds as he pulled out his ringing cell phone. 'Inuyasha of course,' he thought as he answered the annoying contraption.

"Hello," he grated out to the hanyou on the other side.

"You might want to get home soon."

"And why is that?"

"It's already all over the school and I've got the feeling that our wonderful father has already found out," the half-breed answered with his usual sarcasm concerning their father. Sessho-Maru hung up without saying anything and silently started heading home. The hanyou was right. Their father would already know.


She watched as her newest enemy made his way off campus. Something didn't seem completely right with that but she couldn't follow as someone stood at the entrance to the roof watching her.

"So, you're a youkai, huh?" She recognized the voice immediately as that annoying hanyou from the other day.

"And your point is?" she asked calmly as she turned to face him.

"You're not in danger because of it. Not here anyway. Most of us go to this school because of what we are."

"You have no idea why I hide my identity."

"No I don't but you just defeated my older brother, the second strongest demon anyone at this school knows. My father's the strongest and even he has problems defeating him. I would like to know who you are to defeat my brother so easily?"

She just stood there staring at him. Without answering she walked right past him to disappear through the door behind him leaving him to stand there, gaping like a fish.


Sessho-Maru stood facing his father waiting for the inevitable. No one had ever beaten him so quickly without even breaking a sweat. The fact that it was a female did not help. It made it even more unbearable. His father sat at his desk watching his son and heir.

"Why have we not heard of this woman before?" his father asked with a strong anger added to his voice.

"She masked herself to appear in every way human until quite near the end of our battle this afternoon."

"How?" He didn't answer. This did not bode well for the Western lord and heir. It was a threat to their territories. He did not mean to let his discomfort show but his defeat by the inu demoness had broken through his shields that held his emotions. This did not go unnoticed by his father. "She made you submit?"

"She wanted him to," Inuyasha answered for his elder brother as he entered the room. The lord looked towards his younger son wanting him to elaborate. "He refused. She then stated that they would fight every day until he either submitted or defeated her. She doesn't kill unless she plans to eat."

As the words sunk in the Lord of the Western Lands let out a roar of challenge to all demons in the land. All that lived peacefully would back down. This challenge was meant only for the youkai bitch who had disgraced his son. And it was answered.


She heard the challenge and immediately answered. Her father had always said never to back down.


A male demon disguised as a human sat at a desk trying to finish his work for the day. He was interrupted as a shiver ran down his spine as he heard a very feminine roar answer the challenge given by the known Lord of the Western Lands. He knew the female. This did not bode well for his family. It was then that he sensed his daughters unleashed aura encompassing the lands. Muttering a strong curse under his breath he quickly left heading for the shrine his family now called home.


She did not stray from the course she had chosen to take her home. She landed to sit in the Goshinboku on her family's shrine. Her father would return soon, she was sure. He would be able to explain this to her mother.


Sessho-Maru had heard the females answering roar. He was certain the whole city had. The strength was unknown to him but he did know it was strong. He kept his head down as he was still in his fathers' presence and recently disgraced. The feminine roar was the only one that sounded in response to his fathers challenge. He watched his father through his bangs that hid his shamed face. A flash of red in his fathers' eyes told him all he needed to know. This girl had become an enemy of his family. Most importantly though, she was enemy of the Taiyoukai of the Western Lands.
