Ryter: OMG. OMG. OMG!

Harpie: What is it?

Ryter: We've finally made it to one of the big plot points that everyone's been waiting for!

Harpie: Which one?

Ryter: You know. The one where Maxi and then You and Shessy, and then well, you know.

Harpie: yeah, but everyone else will have to read to find out.

Sesshomaru sat in a huge throne that stood at least twenty feet above the podium where the execution was to take place. Maxi and his entourage stood down by the stand. To Sesshomaru's amusement they all looked frightened.

'As well they should be.'

He smiled wickedly as he thought of the glory of having fresh blood upon his claws. There was a large assemblage of demons that had come from all around to witness what Sesshomaru would do to anyone who was stupid enough to insult him. The crowd practically vibrated with savage blood lust. Sesshomaru stood and swept his arms over them, and instantely they were quieted.

"You are all aware of the reason you have gathered. There has been a grave offense made against this Sesshomaru, and thus I shall take the life that is forfeited to me."

Even in the overly crowded stadium his voice carried. Every living creature could hear the authority and malice laced in that voice. Then without a word he jumped from his exaulted spot and landed with all the grace of a dancer where Maxi and his men stood. Maxi had to fight the urge to cringe back. His men moved forward and surrounded him on all sides, but quickly stepped away when Sesshomaru walked towards their master. Sesshomaru stopped only inches from him and leaned in close to his ear, almost like he had with Harpie only moments ago.

"You will follow me alone."

Maxi made a slight nodded and followed Sesshomaru up the steps to the alter. Sesshomaru whirled around and faced the crowd.

"The prisoners who's life has been placed in my hands because of their own stupidity has repeatedly shown a lack of respect for this Sesshomaru, and have severely underestimated my powers. As such their blood will be given as repentince as will everything that was once theirs."

There came an outraged cry from Maxi at this, but it was drowned out by the sound of the crowd madly cheering. Sesshomaru smirked when he saw the shock on Maxi's face and then turned his head away. He made a quick motion with his claws, and within seconds Maxi's men lay dead at Sesshomaru's guards (A/N: had to get this out. guard dogs) feet. Maxi's mouth hang wide as he saw the dismembered bodies of the birds, he turned back towards Sesshomaru only to find him once more only inches away. Maxi dropped to his knees, unable to run. He began to beg him for his life. Sesshomaru's eyes tinged over red, and he radiated hatred. He lifted Maxi from the ground until they were face to face. Sesshomaru was basically snarling at him.

"You dare to ask me for forgiveness? You have not only disrespected me, but have threatened MY mate. For these crimes I will make sure your death is slow."

Then abruptly Sesshomaru turned Maxi back towards the throne where he had once sat. Standing beside it, in a beautiful whit kimono was Harpie. She gave him a vicious smile showing her fangs. Maxi saw this, and felt anger rise with in him. He struggled to get away from Sesshomaru's grasps, but failed miserably. Without so much as a word, Sesshomaru slowly ripped off both of Maxi's wings. Maxi let out a shriek that sounded like a dying animal. He clawed at Sesshomaru's armor as warm blood ran down his back. Sesshomaru growled inside of his throat, and slowly broke off each and everyone of his fingers. Maxi's eyes remained wide, and his mouth was open in a soundless scream. Sesshomaru brought his claws up marking Maxi's face, with three matching claw marks on each cheek. Then he pushed them into Maxi's side. It caused him extreme pain, but he did not die or black out.

'No, that would be to easy. Scum such as you will not be allowed the glory of dying by my hand.'

Sesshomaru dropped Maxi into the mud that his own blood had helped to make. He turned towards the crowd who where eagerly awaiting his command. They knew what would happen next.

"Take him."

With that Sesshomaru walked away. From behind him, he could hear Maxi screaming as thousands of demons slowly devoured him alive. Before he could be totally muffled by the horde that was going to destroy him, Maxi was able to send one more message to Sesshomaru.

"Hear me now dog! I may die, but I curse you and your abomination. I curse you, I curse you with the very blood you spilt! The two of you shall not no peace in this life! I swear by the blood that is pulled from my veins! I swear!"

With that Maxi's voice was lost as he was submerged into the depths of the writhing hungry mass, and Sesshomaru walked away.

Harpie watched this, and had heard what Maxi had said. She felt very uncomfortable. She knew the power that a vow made on bird blood was. She herself had made one that was now almost fulfilled. She dropped all thoughts of Maxi and his curse as she thought about her vow to Sesshomaru. She had returned to him in the end, and now?

'Now, I shall be his and he shall be mine.'

She smiled. She was already longing for his fiery kisses and gentle touches. She sighed softly and allowed herself to think of her love. She didn't sense the presence behind her until it was too late. The cold edge of a blade went through her back and into her heart. Harpie let out a low inaudible gasp and then slumped back into the figure behind her. Her vision went white, but she could still hear. She could hear the voice of the one who had murdered her father, and was now finishing what had been started years before. The voice of her sister.

"Your lover has taken away my chance for a throne, and so I shall take away his little bed toy."

Sie pulled the blade from Harpie's back. There was no coming back from this, the dagger she had used would not only kill Harpie, but would destroy any trace of the waste of existence's soul. Sie smiled bitterly. She had gotten rid of the one that had caused all of her problems. The one who had taken away her throne, had taken away her wing, and had even taken away her prince.

'But this time, I've taken something away from you.'

Ryter: (looking nervously to Harpie) Do you think there will be any angry readers.

Harpie: (foaming at the mouth) YOU KILLED ME! WHAT THE HELL RYTER!

Ryter: (wide eyed) uh...well, um...Please review! (runs for her life)

Harpie: (pulling out katana) Oh, NO YOU DON'T!
