THE SAKURA TREE
By xthextellxtalexmassacrex
Just give me a chance
He sat next to her and watched, as she didn't move the only sign off life was the movement of her chest moving slowly up and down. Being so exhausted she went limb when he picked her up and moved her to the base of the tree.
Her small petite form was lying curled up slightly. She looked as though she had been killed by her own exhaustion. Life for her was in a sort of downward spiral, or so she said.
He did love her, but in her frustration she didn't believe him at all. She thought that he was playing with her so she would go back to his castle and take her kit then let him have his way until she gave up and left to be taken advantage of again.
He was going to take her home right now; she didn't deserve to sleep on the floor of the forest. Though he would have hell to pay when she would wake up, but it was better then seeing her sleep not on satin.
He remembered seeing her sleep on the floor letting her kit sleep on top of her. He remembered wanting to place the kit on the floor and pick her up and place her on the soft material of his kimono. He had held back that time because she would have killed him for even touching Shippo, but right now he wouldn't hold back at all. He would have her his way, and not hold in hoping that she would see his true feelings and not seeing him the way she was right now.
The short skirt that was on her bottom half was slightly scrunched up in the back. He starred at her soft creamy legs lie one on top of the other. Her shoes looked well worn out, the thick rubber was covered in dirt and mud. The laces were coming undone and the fishnets were torn in many places, so they showed her legs more. He approached her to pick her up when she moved.
He moved to his original spot. She sat up and looked at him the glared. Her face had stains of dust and dirt. On her forehead was crusty mud swiped across it. Her eyes looked blood shot. She reached down and untied her boot then unzipped the side and pulled off one then the other and threw them at Sesshoumaru along with her socks. "Leave me alone!" she said as the boot hit him.
He looked at her and he scrunched his eyebrows together. "Why do you want to be left alone? What if something was to happen to you in this state? What if you got hurt?" he asked worried. He looked at her shoe and wondered how she had run in them.
"I will be fine. I don't need your help with retrieving my weapons, so I am going to leave and leave you here while I walk barefoot to the creator of my weapons and leave you here all ALONE! All right? Alright now asta la pasta." she said as she stood up as though nothing had happened, and began to walk down the middle of the forest.
He starred in shock no other demon could use there that amount of strength and then rest for a hour and be up and walking full of snappy remarks and attitude as well. "Why did you leave?" he said, as she was three yards away.
"Why? Well I was upset and now I must go get some weapons 'cause you see I can't fight like this. Hand to hand combat is not as easy as the whole sword-to-sword thing. Obviously you would know I mean you always use tokojin so I thought I might as well use the true sword that belongs to me." she said running off then jumping from tree to tree. Sesshoumaru fell back on the tree and threw his head back, making it hit the tree.
"What is the weapon she wants? How will she get it? From whom?" he thought as he sat up and looked around. What could he do? He was becoming exhausted not half as exhausted as Kagome had been, but that was just around the corner. He stood up and began to walk towards the castle about a mile before he was at the palace he found Jaken half dead. Sesshoumaru kicked him sending him flying two yards into a tree. "Jaken, get up! Now!" he said in his monotone voice. Jaken opened his eyes and he instantly knew that either Sesshoumaru was in a bad mood or a something happened.
"Yes milord." said Jaken with no question as he stood up quickly and stood as though he had been like that the whole time. "I'm sorry if I have disgraced you milord." He said receiving another blow to the gut. Landing back lodged in the tree. Something pissed him off. That told Jaken, usually if he was just in a mood he would ignore Jaken's every whim, but if something pissed him off every little sound would be heard and Jaken turned into a kickball.
Sesshoumaru cringed as he saw Jaken being so useless. He was pathetic, so pathetic.
The rest of the way to the castle was silent. Shippo and Rin ran up to Sesshoumaru both pulling on his pants "Where is Kagome?" they would chant.
The sound of Her name made him cringe "I don't know," was all he said as he walked towards his study. "She had said three days at most." He thought as he slid the door shut. This was not going to fly, he was pissed she just up and left.
He paced his study then got the idea to search her bag and see what she had inside that useless thing that she found valuable.
He walked up to her room and saw the black bag. He unzipped the top pouch and pulled out a small object that had a three buttons and a sort of circle type thing. There was a side ways triangle on the middle button and then a slash mark and next to it was a square. There were wires wrapped around it, and he pulled them off and looked at the tip it was a sort of metal object.
He looked at the object and saw the sign that had said 'power' and slipped the button and the screen lit up saying 'Hello' he then pushed the button with the triangle and square.
The wire end began to make a soft sound he could barely hear so he placed it to his ear.
It was music. Not like the music that he had heard, but faster. He understood English, and the lyrics were English and they sung by a male:
"Big ungrateful lies,
She loves the caviar,
With no appetite
Never says hello
But when she needs you she'll let you know
Maybe it's the way she's blind when everybody stares
Or maybe it's the way she never cares
It's something about her!
Something,
Something about her,
Something different something undefined
Its something about that girl."
Sesshoumaru thought this was something to do with Kagome. As he heard the song he thought more and more about how each lyric reminded him of Kagome. "It's true, there is something about that girl." He thought.
After the song finished Sesshoumaru heard another song that sounded like a male and female going threw an intercourse. He scrunched his nose and then a female voice came on the small speaker she seemed to be narrating the whole scene he shook his head and pushed the button next to it.
The small speaker let a much louder female voice sing about "breaking dishes." It seemed this woman hated her 'man' as she put it and was ruining his belongings. Women from where Kagome came must have been very independent.
This music amused him. He wanted to hear more of it. The sound of it was unique compared to the music that was heard around the feudal era of Japan. It was always by women or a man singing different chants before battle this was different. A LOT different from what he was use to.
Sesshoumaru moved the power button the screen said "Good- -Bye," then he went back to her backpack. On top now was small fake leather object. It had prints of skulls, hearts, and faces. He pulled on the button and it opened there was a picture of Kagome and next to it was Her information. He pulled it out; it was a hard plastic. Behind it was playing cards number seven. He pulled it out as well; the card was flimsy and old, it was no longer white, but the background was almost cream.
He looked at what was behind it; behind it was a small card that had a picture of a girl who had very little clothes on. Her outfit was green and she was dressed as a kinky wizard. He was slightly amused why would a girl have this in their wallet. That was something he would ask.
On the other side were three plastic cards. Then there was a zipper pocket. He pulled it open and a whole load of change fell on his lap.
He picked it up and placed it back in its place. On top of the pile of things now there was a pair of pants made of a sturdy blue material. He looked at the pants they would be too tight and she would not look like a proper female should look now in these days.
Next in her bag was a small what seemed to be a top, but very short and seemed to have hooks in the back around where the breast were to go he felt a sort of soft padding there, and squished it between his fingers. Under the foam was wire; it was bent to fit around the breast he guessed. Why would a woman wear this he figured it would be uncomfortable and they would look like a whore?
There were a total of five of those under that one. Next he found a t-shirt that held the Kanji of Death on it, and a skull behind it. Who celebrates death and wears it on their clothes? She had interesting things in her bag. Under that were a few notebooks and a heavy sketchbook. He threw those aside then found what seemed to be an object with a handle.
He pulled it out, over the tip was a piece of plastic, and this covered the piece of the top of the object it clicked when he pulled it off. His slid his fingers across the top only to find a fierce sharp pain on his finger. He looked at it and saw three equal dots of blood on his finger. He licked the blood clean and began to put everything back except the small music player.
He was tired today was busy, he had to chase her and he had not been worked that much in a single hour like she had. He went into his room and lay on the padded bed, and sighed.
All that was on his mind was how Kagome had left him all alone to go get her weapon of choice. He looked at the small object again then forgot about it and fell asleep, with his hands behind his head.
Three Days Later
Sesshoumaru hadn't done much about the fact that Kagome had left; she said she would be back at the most three days. So the past three days went by as slow as days can go. He waited watching Rin and Shippo they were mad at him and even Rin had not spoken to him since the day after she had left, this frustrated him.
!!After she left!!
Kagome had left not more then a mile further from where they had been before she took off. She went back to a small cave where her parents were buried. Upon her father's grave lies a small sword in its sheath. She picked it up and felt that it was much heavier then expected. Tied around the sheath was a scroll tied by a small piece of silk.
Kagome pulled off the silk and began to read what the small note had said:
Kagome,
You have met your mother and she will appear once she has seen you visited this grave. Before you take this blade you must know the history of the blade so you may use it to it's full potential. You have fought and won against Bankotsu if I am correct. When the fake form of his sword was never revived to the potential that I had been to use it.
I know you want to know something. Is Banryu really Bankotsu's? No infact he had asked if I would be able to lend it to him. I was a very well known demon for this sword for many years, though not every time I did use it for good, infact I used it plenty of times for bad. That's how I met Bankotsu.
I also want you to use this sword well. It is sealed in that sheath for a reason, and once you take it out you will never be able to put it back in. The only way you could do that would be by using a seal and use a monk or preistess to seal it.
Kagome I love you and will help you with everything so you suceed,
You long deseased
Father
Kagome reread this note a number of times. Then once she had gotten it in her head she looked at the handle it looked like Banryu and it would be. As she starred at the sword a light began to shine from her mothers grave.
Infront of her stoold her mother. Kagome looked at the sword in her hands and then to the beautiful women infront of her. ((Ok it's over… jk)) "Kagome, you finnally decided to come to get the wepon of your father." Said her mother with a soft smile.
"Yes, mother. I have and I want to learn how to use it the way I have seen it be used by Bankotsu." Said Kagome bowing her head.
"Well then let's begin your training." Stated her mother leading her to a small field where she would spend all her time for the next few days learning. First she would have to learn using a regular sword with the extra weight so that she would be able to carry Banryu. Once that was done she would learn to balace using such a bulky sword then they would actully ust the sword.
When she was able to take the sword out of the sheath, it began to glow a bright red. u. Once that was done she would learn to balace using such a bulky sword then they would actully ust the sword.
When she was able to take the sword out of the sheath, it began to glow a bright red. "Since Bankotsu had turned it to a demonic sword you won't have to. You will use the powers because you are able to control the demonic powers it wealds. Now when you first pull it out you must be ready to face power." Said her mom as she began to pull the huge sword out of the small sheath.
The sword looked as though it was the same size as the sheath, but when it was all completely out of the sheath it began to glow red and changed in size. It was much larger then she seemed to remember and she felt as though her body was full of adrinalin, she wanted to kill with her new weapon.
Today would be the last day and tomorrow she would return to Sesshoumaru's palace. She would tease him of how small tokojin was as well.
She worked with Banryu and fenced with her mother then practised carrying it around as she flew, in her dragon form she would carry it between her teeth. As she would run in her more human like form she would always carry it over her shoulder like Bankotsu it helped make the weight seem not so much.
She worked her self to sleep and slept until two in the afternoon the next day.
When she remembered she bid her mother farwell and took off to Sesshoumaru's place. Speeding off in the air that way she was there with in twenty minutes. She landed and slipped into her slender female form and looked around as she walked towards the entrance.
The two gaurds sat watching the gate, Kagome looked at them harshly. "Move, or I'll make you move." She pointed Banryu towards each of the gaurds. They had fear in their eyes.
"Please let one of us tell Lord Sesshoumaru of your arrival." Said the guard on the right.
"Fine you go tell him that Kagome has returned." She said in reply to him. "It was your brilliant idea." She finished.
He ran inside the palace to tell his lord of her arrival. When Sesshoumaru heard he littarly ran to go see Kagome sitting at the gate. She grinned "What's crackin' Sesshy?" she asked.
"Where did you get that?" he asked referring to Banryu.
"Long story," she held the handle, "So why do you have my mp3?" she asked, looking at the object in his left hand.
"Long story," he replied just happy to see her.
So how was it? Did you like it? Lots of crazy twists huh?
Sammie!
