Azya sensed Sesshomaru get onto Ah-Un's back as she hurried over and he took her outstretched hand and pulled her onto the two-headed dragons back behind him as she felt the ground quickly get further away. She grabbed onto Sesshomaru's armor to keep herself up and felt him lean forward for a second before she heard what sounded like hardened leather and metal hit Ah-Un's scales. The wind flew past them and she leaned closer to Sesshomaru so his hair would not continue to whip her before the wind slowed.
She could sense over half a dozen energies close below them on the ground: one full of malice like the youkai that had died days before, several youkai, humans, and one that felt like it was in between which meant that it was probably hanyou. She heard the zapping of electricity and felt Ah-Un's energy build up intensely before it shot towards the energies below. Then she felt Sesshomaru push her hands away before she felt his energy plummet towards the ground as well.
"He really just jumped off?" Azya chuckled as she carefully scooted forward and found the reigns as Ah-Un started to move again and the ground got closer.
"Sesshomaru," a male voice spoke before she heard an older one start yelling.
"Oh, no! Not him!" the old man yelled.
"What the hell are you doing here?" the first male demanded, his energy the one mixed between youkai and human, and she slid off Ah-Un's back some distance away from the group and focused on her senses, knowing that Ah-Un would watch over her.
"Just what I would ask you. I've merely come for this sword," Sesshomaru responded, his voice cold. "It seems the demon you killed was so bitter, it desired revenge even after its remains were forged into a sword."
"What?"
"How does he know that Tokijin was created from Goshinki's fangs?" a woman gasped, her energy similar to Rin's but filled with knowledge and determination.
"It must mean that…" another male spoke and Azya could feel a purity within his aura under lecherous intent.
"I was the one who commissioned Kaijinbo to make this sword," Sesshomaru interrupted and Azya heard several gasps.
"Sesshomaru, you must not touch Tokijin!" the old man croaked, and she could sense youkai from him as his aura was behind the one with a mixed aura. "Even you will be possessed by the sword's evil aura. Heed my warning, I implore you!"
"Hn," Sesshomaru responded and Azya felt his energy fluctuate with anger before he moved closer to the evil energy and she heard the sound of metal scrape against rocks as she felt the energy dissipate slowly. "Pathetic fool. Just who do you take me for?"
"The evil aura!" the man with a mostly pure aura gasped. "It's… dissipating!"
"The evil aura was overtaken by Sesshomaru. I don't care much for him," the old man spoke quietly and Azya laughed quietly.
"Hm. I see the sword has chosen me as its master," Sesshomaru spoke after a minute. "Draw your sword, Inuyasha. There's something I wish to verify."
"Something about me?" the first male growled and Azya was glad to put a name to the aura. This was the half-breed Sesshomaru had mentioned several times when she talked to him.
"Don't do it, Inuyasha!" another woman spoke, her voice making Azya think she was younger than the rest and could sense nothing but a purity in her aura, stronger than the lecherous male's.
"Would you let go of me?" Inuyasha snapped.
"Do you honestly think you can defeat him?" the old man muttered.
"Huh. I can't exactly tell him to come back when I'm finished training," Inuyasha scoffed and Azya had to agree with him. She didn't know Sesshomaru to have much patience for anything.
"Precisely, come at me, little brother," Sesshomaru spoke, his voice taunting, but she was surprised that he had addressed Inuyasha as family if he claimed there was no relation. "I'll make it easy. I shall came for you."
"Huh," Inuyasha scoffed as she felt Sesshomaru run towards his aura. "You're going to regret this, Sesshomaru!"
"Too cocky, don't you think Ah-Un?" Azya asked before hearing a loud clang of metal on metal as the two brother's energies landed right on top of each other before she heard Inuyasha grunting at the impact.
"The best he can do is block the attack," the girl with the pure aura spoke, surprise in her voice.
"His sword is too powerful for him!" a male child chimed in and Azya laughed at how well it seemed that this group of beings seemed to do well at commentary as she focused on the brothers as she sensed sesshoamru still attacking inuyasha and the clanging of metal continued.
"This isn't looking good," the old man spoke.
"Is there no chance that inuyasha can defeat him?" the man with the partial pure aura asked.
"Yeah, he still doesn't know how to handle Tessaiga. Beside's he's up against tokijin," the old man responded. "A dangerous sword in anyone's hands, and now that it's being wielded by Sesshomaru…"
"Aw, damn it to hell," Inuyasha muttered as the clanging stopped and Azya felt the wind pick up around the area.
"What? Have you altered your combat strategy? Usually you charge at me blindly with great haste," Sesshomaru commented.
"Huh. Whatever you say," Inuyasha scoffed before she sensed him running at Sesshomaru as he started to scream. The two swords collided again and she could hear sparks flying at the force.
"Ahh. Tessaiga has become heavier, I see."
"It's a lot heavier, you stupid jackass!"
"He has quite the mouth on him," Azya mused quietly.
"Hmph. The sword is too heavy for you. You're better off without it," Sesshomaru spoke forcefully as she heard him swing before she heard a sword go flying into the air before Inuyasha yelled and a heavy impact vibrated the earth beneath her feet as she felt two different impacts.
"Look at Tessaiga!" the partial pure leech gasped.
"Inuyasha!" the girl screamed at the same time.
"He doesn't stand a chance against his brother!" the child cried out.
"Damn it all," Azya heard Inuyasha sigh before he started to run at Sesshomaru again, the faint energy of his sword unmoving.
"Come back Inuyasha!" the girl screamed again
"He's going to fight him with his bare hands!" the child wailed and Azya almost wished she had stayed with Rin and Jaken with how much this group complained and yelled.
"They don't support the half-breed at all," Azya chuckled before feeling Sesshomaru's aura fluctuate as it seemed to focus into his new sword and she sensed the energy shoot out of the blade's tip before hearing Inuyasha cry out as whatever the attack that Sesshomaru used hit him.
"He's been thrown by the power of the sword!" the woman who seemed to have a minimal pure energy gasped before Azya felt the impact of Inuyasha hitting the ground.
"I've seen all that I needed," Sesshomaru spoke before Azya felt his energy shift completely as he started to run towards where Inuyasha was. "Die!"
"Look out, Inuyasha! He's coming for you!" the human male with some purity yelled out.
"No shit Sherlock," Azya deadpanned before she felt a huge shift in Inuyasha's energy. "Sesshomaru! His energy!"
She felt all of the group's energies move to Inuyasha before feeling a huge burst of heat as if from a fire and ran towards Sesshomaru as Ah-Un followed. As she reached the western lord, she sensed all their energies fleeing from them and frowned. She grabbed Sesshomaru's empty sleeve quietly as the dragon stopped several paces behind him.
"Sesshomaru, what happened to his aura?" Azya asked, confused at the flicker of fear she could feel in his energy as it calmed down. "Is he not just a half-breed?"
"So you could sense the shift of his demon side?"
"Yeah, it was unsettling," she spoke quietly as she let him lead her back the way they came towards the faint energy of Jaken and Rin. "Most of that group's energies were not like those I have met before, but we should get back to the other two…"
"Hn," Sesshomaru spoke before she was picked up and placed on Ah-Un's back and he sat behind her as the dragon flew off into the sky to make the trip quicker.
