Naraku And Sesshomaru Join Forces
[Sunset.]
[A Tribe of Mercenaries ride along a mountain path. Bales of food are tied to the horses that they ride.]
''We got a good haul today, Chief! look at these bales of rice! says Mercenary1
[The Mercenaries chuckle gaily.]
''for a puny village, they sure had a hoard. says Chief.
''let's hurry. Chief. Demons are supposed to appear around here after dark. says Mercenary2
[chiding] can't be a mercenary if you're afraid of demons! says Chief
''Chief Look! says Mercenary3
[The Silhouette of someone is seen across the setting sun in front of the tribe.]
''Huh? that's a mere mortal. says Chief
''interesting armor he's got. says Mercenary3
''Kill'im and strip im! says Chief [raises his sword]
[The guy turns out to be Sesshomaru as he flashes a blue left arm. his eyes glow an eerie red. the tribe hold their horses, frightened. Sesshomaru leaps into the air and slashes the group. the entire tribe is annihilated. Sesshomaru lands on a huge boulder.]
[Appears among the grass, laughing] ''well done! you are the one and only Lord Sesshomaru! slaying that blue demon and taking his arm was a splendid idea! says Jaken
[clenches his blue left fist] ''Open your eyes fool! [detach and throws the arm at Jaken] ''this arm has already been randered useless! says Sesshomaru
[the blue arm lands on the ground, Jaken scrutinizes it.]
''At least...that Fire Demon heal some of your arm...but its still growing back slow...[the arm flexes] ''Arghhh! says Jaken
[The arm grabs Jaken and he struggles, hitting the arm with his staff frantically.]
''find a demon with a more suitable arm. or else...I'll have to kill you.[walks off] says Sesshomaru
'[stops and panics] Arghhh! says Jaken
[Jaken knocks the arm harder and is eventually freed. he glares at the arm and kicks it. the arm rolls aside and disintegrates.]
''[sweating, thinking] ''Hah...I'm so tired of this life. [looks at Sesshomaru] ''and it's all the fault of that Inuyasha for cutting off Lord Sesshomaru's arm. says Jaken
[ Images of the fight with Inuyasha and Sesshomaru flashes in his mind]
''Die! [slashes Sesshomaru left arm off when he was transformed with Tetsusagia]
[Voice-over] No... I don't hate that sword, just that half-demon Inuyasha! says Jaken
[Inuyasha swings his sword at Sesshomaru's chest cutting him deeper. he swings again. and Sesshomaru falls backwards, with light sparks emitting from his chest. Sesshomaru falls downwards. far away from the armor of Inuyasha's father.]
[voice-over] the Tetsusaiga belongs to Lord Sesshomaru! we will take it back from Inuyasha without fail! says Jaken
[Sesshomaru is staring in the sky as he looks at the half growing of his left arm. remembering the girl who healed it...he narrows his eyes as he thinks of her...knowing that they will see each other again...he has made a vow to himself when he gets the Tetsusaiga back...he will find her and make her his. he turns to Jaken]
''even if I find another arm. it'll also be useless after a short period. says Sesshomaru
''[voice behind them] ''you seem to be troubled. says Voice
[A Person in a baboon suit appears among the grass and speaks to Sesshomaru. Jaken panics and hides behind Sesshomaru.]
''pardon me, but are you Inuyasha's elder brother, Sesshomaru? says Baboon
Who are you? says Sesshomaru
''Like you, I despise Inuyasha. it was rude of me. but I overheard you talking. [holds up a human left arm.] ''May I suggest that you use this arm? says Baboon.
[steps forward and shouts] don't jest. that's a human arm! says Jaken
''Precisely. However, it's not just a human arm. it's human arm with a Sacred Jewel Fragment imbedded in it. says Baboon [A Pink Glow emits from the arm.]
'A Sacred Jewel shard. says Jaken
''this arm will empower you to wield the Tetsusaiga, Inuyasha's fabled sword. the Tetsusaiga is known as the protector of humans. presently a demon like you cannot touch the Tetsusaiga. says Baboon
''[scoffs] Humph...you mentioned that you hate Inuyasha. do you intend to use me to kill Inuyasha? says Sesshomaru
''exactly. says Baboon
[angry] how dare you? says Jaken
'interesting. says Sesshomaru
''eh? says Jaken
''I'll take the arm. says Sesshomaru
[shocked] ''Lord Sesshomaru...please reconsider. says Jaken
one more thing...[holds up a round hive] this hive. I'm sure it'll come in very handy. says Baboon.
[takes the hive and looks at it] tell me your name. says Sesshomaru
''it is Naraku. says Naraku.
''Naraku? what do you plan on doing with this hive? says Sesshomaru
''Not only will it come in handy but there is also a special girl among Inuyasha's friends that I want...I need you to get her for me. says Naraku.
''what would you want with the human girl. says Sesshomaru
''I never said the girl is human she is a very special demon girl that I must Possessess. says Naraku.
[Sesshomaru eyes widens as if he already knew the girl that this Baboon is talking about and he smiles to himself knowing that he will not take her for this Baboon but for himself.]
[Mansion]
[It is nighttime in a Mansion. where Sakura, Kagome, Inuyasha, Shipp and Miroku finally settled for the night for dinner and some rest.]
''I'm so glad we're not sleeping in the forest! we get to eat a hot meal, and sleep under a roof! heaven! says Kagome
''[sulking in a corner of the room] ''well, excuse me for making you sleep in the wild all the time. says Inuyasha
''I don't mind sleeping in the wild...Just as long as I can get a bath a least once in a while. says Sakura
''Humph...says Inuyasha
''Inuyasha, you take offense so easily these days. says Kagome
''hate the fact that it was Miroku who got us shelter here, Huh? [to Kagome] ''Soft, fluffy beddings are sooo nice! says Shippo.
[Kagome and Shippo smile to each other wildly.]
keh. says Inuyasha [looks away]
[Sakura moves to sit outside looking at the stars as she hears Miroku talking to the head Lord]
''that should do it.[putting a sutra on a pillar in the corridor of the mansion] ''now the ominous black clouds that hover over this mansion will disappear for good. says Miroku.
''[bows] thank you so much, Lord Monk! my goodness! when you came suddenly and informed me that there was evil clouds overhead, I was so afraid of what might happen! [heaves a sigh of relief] ''but now that you have exorcised this place. I can put my fears to rest. says Lord
[smiles] ''it's just part of a Monk's duty. says Miroku
[Sakura smiles a little as Miroku comes to sit next to her]
''Finished with the Exorcism? says Sakura
''now then, I can rest. says Miroku
''hey Miroku...something still bothers me. says Inuyasha
''yes? says Miroku
[walks to Miroku and looks him in the face] ''when we're desperately looking for a place to sleep, you suddenly see a black cloud over the finest mansion in the area. how did that happen, I wonder? says Inuyasha
huh? why bring that up now? [waves his hand and smiles] ''you know the saying. a lie is sometimes expedient. says Miroku.
[taken aback] w-what? says Inuyasha
[shocked] Lie? was the black cloud a lie? says Shippo
''[drinks tea calmly] I figured it was a lie. says Sakura
'''what a shyster! says Inuyasha
''Oh yes! [holds up a plate of food and Inuyasha gasps] he gave me a gift of dumplings, too. says Miroku
[grabs the plate and jumps in the air] ''yea! says Shippo
''hey, don't look so happy! says Inuyasha
[waves her hands] ''Calm down...Inuyasha. says Kagome
[Suddenly rumbling noises are heard in the background the group looks around]
''wh-what's that? says Kagome
[the rumbling gets louder and the Ceiling shakes.]
[Jumps into Kagome's arms] ''Aghh! it's coming this way! says Shippo
[The candle in the room goes off.]
'something big is coming. says Sakura
[takes his staff and says seriously] ''let's run! says Miroku
[looks at Miroku shocked] ''w-why you! can't just eat and run! says Inuyasha
''but it's big! we're no match for it. impossible! stupid! like committing suicide! says Miroku
what a guy! says Sakura
[notices something] ''I sense Sacred Jewel Fragments. it's heading this way with enormous speed! says Kagome
'''A Sacred Jewel fragment coming here? what luck. says Inuyasha
'if it's the Sacred Jewel, I'm willing to make the sacifice! says Miroku
[he runs out]
''Hold it Miroku! says Inuyasha.
[Sakura and Kagome follow after them]
[Outside the Villagers gather looking worried]
''what's that sound? says Villager1
''that trembling! says Villager2
[A Giant hand looms over the sky and crushes part of the village. Jaken's giant demon appears and trudges towards the village. Inuyasha and the gang arrive at the scene]
''w-what...? says Miroku
[The Demon finally shows itself and on it's shoulder sits Sesshomaru who Inuyasha was shocked at seeing]
''That is Sesshomaru! says Inuyasha
[Sakura looks up at him and was stunned as well]
''W-what...is he doing here...[then a thought hit her as she looks at Inuyasha and his sword] ''Oh no...says Sakura
[Sesshomaru flies down and raises his poison claws...Sakura takes Kagome's arm who has Shippo on her shoulder and they run as he hits the ground and releases a Miasma. the group run away swiftly. Inuyasha is the last. he turns around and coughs.]
''As usual you are slow to take action little brother. says Sesshomaru
[coughing] Damn you. Sesshomaru! whaddya want? says Inuyasha
''don't ask me stupid questions. I'm here for the Tetsusaiga! says Sesshomaru
''[puts a hand on Tetsusaiga] you still haven't give up on it? says Inuyasha
[Sakura is standing at a huge boulder where the others are hiding looking on at Inuyasha and Sesshomaru]
''are they acquaintances? says Miroku
''that's Inuyasha's Older brother...Sesshomaru. says Sakura
[Hearing his name...Sesshomaru turns his gaze to Sakura staring at her with the same coldness that he always shows but in his eyes is hunger for her..,]
''Unlike half-demon Inuyasha, this one's a full-fledged one. [thinking.] he's still after the Tetsusaiga. last time he couldn't make the sword work for him. in fact he couldn't even lift it. so why would that have changed. says Kagome
[Sesshomaru looks at Inuyasha then at Sakura]
''Draw your sword Inuyasha. or will you hand it over quietly without a need for a battle. says Sesshomaru
''Shaddup! this time. I'll cut off more than just one arm! says Inuyasha
[Inuyasha unsheathes Tetsusaiga and leaps in the air. he swings Tetsusaiga downwards at Sesshomaru. who merely steps aside. he swings it again and Sesshomaru leaps aside]
''Inuyasha...you still haven't mastered the use of the True Power of Tetsusaiga. says Sesshomaru
''w-what? cut your jokes, damn you! says Inuyasha
[Rush towards Inuyasha, Sesshomaru grabs Inuyasha's wrist with his poison claws] ''such pitful swordsmanship...you can't handle that large sword. [emits poison and burns Inuyasha's wrist] says Sesshomaru
[in pain] ''Arghh! says Inuyasha
''his arm is rotting! says Miroku
''it's his poison nails. says Sakura
''if you don't release the Tetsusaiga, your arm will rot and fall off. says Sesshomaru
''I will not give up my sword. says Inuyasha
[grabs Tetsusaiga with his other hand Inuyasha punches Tetsusaiga at Sesshomaru]
'he's resisting him! says Miroku
''[fighting Sesshomaru] 'I'll slit you in half! says Inuyasha
''you should have surrandered. says Sesshomaru
[Sesshomaru lets go of Inuyasha and leaps in the air. he takes out his poison whipe and lash it at Inuyasha. knocking the Tetsusaiga out of his hands. Tetsusaiga spins in the air and lands near Sakura...she runs towards it only to have Sesshomaru land in front of her. next to the sword]
''Hah...says Sakura
[Sesshomaru picks up Tetsusaiga with his left hand...Sakura shocked leaps out of the way...as he swings it at Inuyasha]
''what? says Inuyasha
''Sesshomaru shouldn't even touch the sword. says Kagome
[Sesshomaru swings Tetsusaiga and sends an energy torrent at Inuyasha. the ground explodes. the smoke clears.]
''[stares at Sesshomaru. thinking] ''w-why is Sesshomaru able to hold the Tetsusaiga? says Inuyasha
[Sakura is looking all over Sesshomaru shocked to see he has a new arm and it's a Human arm with a Sacred Jewel embedded in it...she was surprised]
''you...you have a Human arm...but how.? says Sakura
''so that I can take the Possessesion of two of the things I want...says Sesshomaru
[he then flashes towards her she backs away as he tries to catch her...he narrows his eyes at her]
''You will come to me. says Sesshomaru
''no...I will not...you can not make me do anything against my will. says Sakura
I shall show you all the power of Tetsusaiga...witness as I dimastrate it's power. says Sesshomaru
[He is anger and full of hunger as he steps away from Sakura to swing the sword right at Inuyasha]
'Jaken! says Sesshomaru
yes, my lord. I shall summon all the mountain demons! says Jaken
[Jaken stands on the giant demon's shoulder and points it to a forest. the demon turns towards it.]
''come forth! says Jaken
[the Giant demon swings his fist on a mountain. the ground rumbles and everyone on in terror. a glow appears where the demon hit. suddenly hundreds of demons fly out and cover the sky with their sheer numbers]
''watch me well, Inuyasha. in one stroke...I shall slaughter one hundred demons. says Sesshomaru
[Sesshomaru swings Tetsusaiga which emits three waves. the waves rush towards the demons and disintegrates the demons completely. the glow of the waves envelopes the entire area.]
''w-what? says Inuyasha
[the ground which Sesshomaru sent the waves is smoldering. everyone looks on in shock]
''The Mountain...says Shippo
''not only the demons...he destroyed the mountain! says Miroku
''now that Is the true power of the Tetsusaiga. the Supreme sword forged from our father's fang! unfortunately. it does not have the power to choose his owner! do you realize now that a Half-demon like you can never master it. says Sesshomaru
[Sakura looks at Inuyasha and then at Sesshomaru shaking her head at this...]
''You are using that arm as a Cheat...that arm...it's a lie...now that you have the sword what now...says Sakura
Now...that Is my business...not yours... says Sesshomaru [he walks towards her again...he raises his hand at her as it glows green...Sakura alarmed takes her Staff and blocks the whip that would have whipped her face...she was stunned]
''Ah...Ah. says Sakura
[She leaps out of the way as he plunges his fist into the ground as she runs away from him she was confused and scared at why he is after her now...he begins to fight her as she blocks his every move...she then swings her staff at him hitting him in the chin with the Orb part of it...she freezes as he touches his face with a hand he looks down at his hand that has a little blood on it and then he glares at her]
''I told you not to fight me...you will not defy me...you will come to me because there is someone that is interested in you...and I will not let him have you. says Sesshomaru
''stay away from me...you have no say in my life..says Sakura
''Nobody will have you...but me. says Sesshomaru
[Sakura shocked stares at him and realized that was her mistake as she stopped and he grabs her waist and pulls her against him hard...knocking the breath out of her]
''No...stop...get your hands off me.. says Sakura
''Submit to me...[he bends his head to her neck. she gasps glaring at him in anger as she raises her hand to strike him...he takes her wrist in his hand and burns her wrist with the green poison]
''Noooo...Ah..says Sakura
[Inuyasha seeing the danger Sakura is in...rushes towards Sesshomaru and scratches his face and Sesshomaru zips away from Sakura as he and Inuyasha fight.]
''I can't stay quiet any longer. says Miroku
[Inuyasha tilts his head out and stares at Miroku. Sakura is behind him and Inuyasha blocking Sesshomaru from getting her.]
''Enough of this silly silbing rivalry. says Miroku
'hey! says Inuyasha
[thinking] ''Hmmm? that monk? says Sesshomaru
[steps forward and shoves Miroku] stay back Miroku! says Inuyasha
''[steps forward and shoves Inuyasha] ''you can't handle this alone! says Miroku
[clenches his fist and shouts] ''Shaddup! get behind me! says Inuyasha
''don't be so stubborn! says Miroku
'w-what? you...! says Inuyasha
[looks at Miroku] ''is that the Monk that Naraku mentioned.? [looks at Sakura] ''and the Fire Demoness she is the one Naraku is after...I can't begin to imagine what he wants with her. says Jaken
[Earlier on, when Jaken and Sesshomaru encountered Naraku]
''there should be a young monk with Inuyasha. he may prove to be more troublesome then Inuyasha. and the Demoness...I need her get her for me. says Naraku
Hah. he looks like a mere mortal. [thumps the giant with his staff] ''Lord Sesshomaru, leave the monk to me! no sense in wasting your time with him. [to Sakura] ''and I will soon capture the Lady Demoness. says Jaken
[Sakura looks at Jaken surprised and then looks at Sesshomaru a little scared]
''all right I will watch. says Sesshomaru
''onward! smash them! says Jaken
[The giant demon growls and raises it's fist at the group]
everyone, get back! [he opens his wind Tunnel] Wind Tunnel! says Miroku
[Miroku's Wind tunnel sucks at Sesshomaru who thrusts Tetsusaiga into the ground to gain a foothold. the giant demon's fist is sucked in while the rest of him struggles]
''No-stop! says Jaken
heavenly power. it's the Wind Tunnel. says Shippo
Miroku you look great! [turns to Inuyasha] ''Inuyasha you too. says Kagome
''[deadpan] ''don't say it like an after thought. says Inuyasha
[Sesshomaru takes out the Hive that Naraku gave him and he throws it in the air. A Horde of bee like insects with red eyes fly out of the hive. the head of the giant Demon is almost sucked in when the insects fly towards Miroku]
''Miroku...watch out...says Sakura
what? says Miroku
''those bugs...they're not being sucked in. they're flying at him. says Kagome
[Miroku winces in pain and freezes. he closes the wind tunnel and falls backwards]
'Inuyasha...take over! says Miroku
''Miroku! says Kagome
''what's wrong, Miroku says Inuyasha
[The poison insects fly towards Inuyasha.]
[claws at the Insects] ''Iron Reaver Soul stealer! says Inuyasha [he destroys some insects]
''[holds up Miroku] 'are you all right, Miroku? says Kagome
''I've been Poisoned by those Insects...says Miroku
''Poison..On no. says Sakura
[she pulls at Miroku's left hand and uses her white light to heal him...Miroku sighs a little at the relief and that it worked...she looks at him]
''You can't use that thing as long as those insects are around. says Sakura
[Sesshomaru is walking towards them with his sword raised]
''This is it. [a fiery glow surrounds Tetsusaiga] ''Die! says Sesshomaru
[Sesshomaru swings Tetsusaiga which slashes and disintegrates the giant demon. a Loud explosion ensues and pieces of the demon falls to the ground. Sakura has planted the Staff Of Light in the ground and when the swords power hit them...a Red Barrier that has flames all over it. protects them...Sesshomaru glares at this. as he then flashes towards the barrier slamming his sword in it]
''you dare go against me...you will pay dearly for it. says Sesshomaru
''will you shut up? getting a hold of one sword sure loosened up your mouth. [laughs] well, lemme tell you something, when you kill someone, make sure you do it right! otherwise you may just end up...[leaps and yells] eating your words! says Inuyasha
[Inuyasha claws at Sesshomaru going through the barrier as Sesshomaru blocks him. Inuyasha claws again and Sesshomaru leaps into the air.]
''I've had just about...[swings Tetsusaiga down] ''enough! says Sesshomaru
[Inuyasha takes Tetsusaiga's sheath and blocks Tetsusaiga. sparks emit.]
''[pushing Tetsusaiga at Inuyasha thinking] ''He's resisting the Tetsusaiga! that's the Sheath of the Tetsusaiga. says Sesshomaru
[Inuyasha struggles and laughs.]
'[crawls out of the hole made by Sesshomaru] ''I was just about to be killed by Lord Sesshomaru. [he holds his head worried] ''even more than the monk's heavenly power. Lord Sesshomaru's disregard for ally or foe when he kills is a hundred fold more frighting. [looks down] ''Oh dear...I fear for the future. says Jaken
[Miroku takes Jaken and grabs his head. Sakura is looking down at them as Shippo crawls over to Miroku]
''You...says Jaken
''something really bothers me. we have never met. yet it's as though you had those insects just to trap me. what's going on? says Miroku
''and why is Lord Sesshomaru keep attacking Lady Sakura? says Shippo
''that is for my Lords business...says Jaken
[He reaches behind him and grabs the Staff of two heads]
''[Notices] Miroku...says Sakura
[Jaken raises his staff which spews a torrent of fire. Miroku falls backwards into the hold. Shippo chases.]
[chuckles] ''a weak monk and a Puny fox child. I, Jaken can handly you alone! says Jaken
[Sakura sighs as she slowly walks in front of Jaken and blocks Miroku and Shippo from getting burned]
''Don't forget about me...Little Jaken...as you forget I am a Fire Demon I can't be harmed by it's flames. says Sakura
[Jaken was in awe of her Beauty see how she glowed with the Power of Fire and he stops his flames in fear as she walks towards him]
''Don't...don't hurt me...says Jaken
''As long as you don't attack my friends...then no harm will come to you. says Sakura
[Back to Sesshomaru and Inuyasha]
''The Sheath, you think you can defeat me with Tetsusaiga's sheath. says Sesshomaru
[Sesshomaru raise Tetsusaiga suddenly and Inuyasha falls forward. Sesshomaru swings Tetsusaiga and Inuyasha somersaults backwards. Sesshomaru chases and attacks Inuyasha's sheath continuously and violently. Inuyasha runs backwards while struggling to block Sesshomaru's blows. Sesshomaru finally knocks Tetsusaiga's sheath out of Inuyasha's hands. Inuyasha kneels and looks at Sesshomaru]
''[raises Tetsusaiga] ''One Swing...just one more swing. says Sesshomaru
[Inuyasha growls Sesshomaru swings Tetsusaiga down. suddenly an arrow appears and hits Tetsusaiga. everyone looks on in shock. Tetsusaiga reverts to it's rusty state.]
''[Thinking] ''The Tetsusaiga's transformation has been cancelled! says Inuyasha
[The arrow lands and strikes the ground. Kagome appears from afar with a bow and arrow in her hands. her haversack lies next to her feet.]
''Sesshomaru! the next one is aimed at your heart. says Kagome
''Kagome...says Sakura
[draws an arrow] 'Inuyasha...make your escape! hurry! says Kagome
[glares at Kagome thinking] ''that young woman's arrow reverses the Tetsusaiga's transformation. says Sesshomaru
[thinking] ''could Kagome really be the Reincarnation of the Priestess? says Miroku
[Everyone looks at Kagome while she pulls at her bow determinedly]
