A/N: Just to worn you, this next chapter(the Sesshomaru parts), gets freaky and
weird. Some people who have read my last chapter, may have been thrown off, by
Sesshomaru's sudden change in demeanor. It all plays out, to get Sesshomaru to
appear more human than demon, which has more to do with later chapters.
Ch. 11: The Demon of Claws, and the Demon within
"Just who the hell are you?" InuYasha asked again, a little more impatient now.
"My, my!" the Demon hissed, "aren't we a little bag of roses, today! I don't think I like you very
much!"
"Like I give a damn!" InuYasha snapped back, his sword, twitching in his hands.
"I am Seimaru!" the Demon cackled, "but I see no need to introduce myself to someone, that
I'm about to kill!"
"I'd like to see you try!" InuYasha barked, gripping Tetsaiga, and rushing forward.
"InuYasha, wait!" Miroku tried to warn him, but he was too late. InuYasha charged forward, and
jumped high into the air. Seimaru just smiled, as he raised both his hands above his head.
Chiiiink
"What the...?" InuYasha gasped, as he found that his sword was halted by Seimaru's claws, that
appeared out of nowhere.
"Hahaha!" Seimaru laughed, "oops! Did I forget to mention that I can make my nails longer
anytime I wish?"
"You bastard!" InuYasha growled, retreating a few steps.
"I guess my name isn't enough!" he told everyone, "so I'll start at the beginning! I am Seimaru!
One of the Elite Five!"
"Elite Five?" Miroku wondered, looking at Seimaru with interest, "I think I have heard of a group
of Demons that resembled that name once!"
"We were an Elite group of Demons, that fought like immortals! We were able to do as we
pleased! Then, we were unfortunate to come across a Demon that was stronger then we were!
He finished us off in no time! He was a full Dog Demon that cared for a human woman!"
"Fa...Father?" InuYasha choked out.
"Your father?" Seimaru laughed, "well I guess I should have seen it in you, sooner! You do look a
lot bit like him!"
"If my dad could defeat you, then so can I!" InuYasha called out, as he lunged forward again.
"Like father, like son...to the death!" Seimaru yelled, as he jumped in the air, as well. He then,
pushed out his claws and showed them off. They were almost a foot long, each.
"Nail Blade!" Seimaru yelled out. Seimaru took a big cut, with his many nails, and about 10 blades
of light, came charging at InuYasha.
"Shit!" InuYasha yelled, trying to cut through them. InuYasha took a couple of swipes at the air.
He was able to deflect some of the blades, but the others were moving too quickly, for him to
dodge the rest.
"Aghhh!" InuYasha yelled, as he got shot back, and hit the ground, hard.
"Such a pitiful Demon!" Seimaru laughed, "I can't possibly continue playing, if this is the best that
you can do!"
"Shut up!...ugh," Inuyasha snapped back, as he slowly got to his feet, "I'm not even close to
being done!"
"Ten show me what you got!" Seimaru snickered, getting ready for more.
"Gladly!" InuYasha yelled, as he charged Seimaru, "Yahhhh!"
Sesshomaru continued his walk through the giant house, in search of Sesshomaru. He tried not
to think of why he freaked out, at the thought of his mother being absent at that point in his
life. He didn't even know why he cared. He never had a close relationship with his mother. He
knew that the house was some sort of trick, put together by the woman who kidnapped Rin.
He focused on that, and kept moving.
He turned a corner, and into the kitchen. Nobody was there, so he left for another room. He
turned another corner, and found a long hallway, with no end in sight. He guessed that they
were bedrooms. He made his way down, and skipped the first few. The fourth door on his left,
called out to him. He doubted that Rin was in there, but he tried, anyways. He turned the knob,
and walked in. When he saw what was inside, he almost felt fear in his stomach.
InuYasha got knocked down again, and hit the wall of the temple house.
"I have to say...," Seimaru began, licking the little splatter of blood, off his nails, "...my master had
you in such high regards...I expected more from the famous, InuYasha!"
"I'm a lot more then you think!" InuYasha grunted, "don't under-estimate me!"
"We'll see about that!"
Seimaru went for InuYasha, blades at the ready.
"Let's see if you like my blade...," InuYasha taunted, rearing back his Tetsaiga, "...WIND SCAR!!!"
InuYasha cut the air, and blasted a huge gash into the ground. The attack, flew along the
ground and at Seimaru.
"Huh?" Seimaru gasped, "...what is this?!...I wasn't told about this!...Ugh!"
The Wind Scar, tore up Seimaru, while he was daydreaming. He had a small second to block the
attack with his nails, but it wasn't enough. The Wind Scar, chipped and shattered the nails,
causing Seimaru, to be shot back. He hit the ground, yelled the whole way.
"Ha!" InuYasha gloated, once he came back to the ground, "like that?"
Seimaru picked himself up and wiped off his face. He looked at his nails. At least half of the nails,
on each hand, were broken or had some sort of critical damage, to them. He scowled at
InuYasha, as he got to his feet.
"You...damaged my nails...," Seimaru hissed, "you will pay, dearly for that!"
Sesshomaru looked in the room, and almost could feel the rush of fear in his gut. In the room,
near the middle, was Sesshomaru, as a teenager, holding his dead mother in his arms, crying.
Sesshomaru, quickly dismissed it as another illusion. He stepped into the room, now without fear,
and walked up to the child version of himself, and stared down at it. His younger self, had his
head buried in his mother's chest, crying.
Sesshomaru looked at them, and scowled. he took his hand, and slashed them with his poisonous
nails. The image of him, waved through the air, all cut up. It looked like it might have
disappeared, like the last illusion, but this one, molded back together. The boy, still crying in his
mother's chest. Sesshomaru looked ticked off, by the illusion, still there. He pulled his arm back,
again, ready to strike, once more...but stopped. The boy, now turned his head, and looked up at
Sesshomaru, once seeing the boy's face, regained the feeling of ear, in his gut. The boy, actually
had no face. It was just a blank, white dummy head. Even with no face, or features, the
dummy boy, had tears, rolling down it's head, from where it's eyes would be. The two, just
stood, silently, staring at each other. Sesshomaru, tried hard, not to show fear on his face. He still
had his hand behind his head, ready to strike, but was frozen. He didn't know if it was fear or
not, but either way, he couldn't bring himself to hit the dummy child, no matter how much he
struggled. After a few minutes of looking at each other, the dummy, stopped crying, and moved
slowly towards Sesshomaru. Without warning, the dummy boy, opened a mouth on it's face,
looking to engulf Sesshomaru.
"Gahhh!" it hissed, baring fangs.
This time, Sesshomaru found enough strength to pull away, and take a hack at the boy. His nails
cut through the head of the dummy, cutting the head in two. The top half fell off, and rolled
along the ground. It came to a stop, at Sesshomaru's feet. Sesshomaru looked at it, with a
scowl. He picked up his foot, and stomped the head. It exploded into a cloud of dust, and
disappeared into the air. Sesshomaru looked at the dead, other half of the boy puppet. It
slumped on the ground, on it's left side, the bottom half of it's head, pointed at Sesshomaru.
Tears, still fell down it's face, almost coming from nowhere, at the top of it's decapitated head.
Sesshomaru turned around, and left the room.
"I knew you were strong, Sesshomaru...," the woman laughed, hidden in the walls, "...but how
long can you keep your human feelings, from coming through!"
Sesshomaru walked down the hall and opened another door.
"This time, Sesshomaru...," the woman cackled, "you won't survive the next room! I guarantee
it!"
A/N: Ok..so creepy?! I thought it was weird, myself, and I was the one that made it
up. Hope you like the next one...it gets weirder.
