Chapter: 12- Bringing down the fort.

"Shut UP!" Rain said angrily punching the low class demon. "What? Shut up about the truth that Yoko Kurama is a weakling?" (I can't beleive I could write somthing like that TTTT) She punched him again, this time in the stomic, this time so hard that the demon spit up blood and fell uncontous. She just hn'ed like Hiei and dropped him. She looked over to her friends, they where fairing pretty much the same, the perverted fish demon that was wispering in Lor's ear a moment ago was now in a battered and brused heep on the ground. Yusuke's girl was another wolf demon like Rain's had been, was uncontous and Yusuke's eye was twitching. Kuwabara had refused to take on his preveous challenger, the girl wolf demon, so now he was being strangled by a half snake, half dragon demon with one of his two tales. Shippo rolled his eye's cutting the demon in half with his contanna, his apponent already dead. Sesshomaru leaned agenst a tree in a bord like fashon with a look that clearly read 'pathetic' all over it. Yugi-chan sat smileing next to a uncontous butterfly demon (girl of course I wouldn't do that to a guy), Her ink covered face held a black eye. Jue and Shikko had both finished theirs and where standing there quietly near Yugi.

"Well, shall we press on?" Lor asked smileing. Everyone noded.

Lor's P.O.V.

We had been taviling a little over an hour and a half, the closer we got to the lake where the fish demon had described, the less demons they saw, she figgered it was because most of the tribs had been either captured or killed by the floating castal. It bugged the crap out of her but there was nothing she could do.

"You guys notice anything weird?" I asked.

"You mean like it's waaaaaayyyyyyy to quiet?" Rain asked.

"Yeah, somthin like that." I replied.

Normal P.O.V.

"hn, we are in the eastern lands." Sesshmaru said to him self.

"Yes, your point?" Shippo asked annoyed.

"The leader of the eastern lands asked me for his help because there where rumers of a trib planning to over throw him." Sesshomaru replied still looking ahead.

"Did you agree?" Jue asked.

"No, I told him that it was his own fult if he was over thrown because of his weak heart, keh, having pity for humans." Sesshomaru spat.

"You had pity enough on that girl you traviled with." Shippo muttered. Sesshomaru's eye's begain teetering red as his head snapped at Shippo. Lor noticed this wouldn't be a mer threat this time.

"No! Sesshomaru! Don't!" Lor exclaimed and without thinking she grabbed his arm hugging it with her eye's shut tight. Sesshomaru's eye instantly turned back to their normal state as he looked down at her in puzzlement.

Rain and Yugi smiled silently, unnoticed by anyone.

"Onna." Sesshomaru stated in an emotionless tone. Lor looked up him questioningly.

"Off, pl-, now." Sesshomaru said.

'What is happening, she is a mer motal, even if she wasn't lieing about being a wolf demon she is only a half breed, I am not like my father, I am not soft.' Sesshomaru thought smugly as the onna slowly clibed off of his arm blushing.

Rain hit Shippo hard on the head.

"Ouch! What the hell was that for!" Shippo yelled holding his now lumped head.

"Because! That was a stupid thing to say!" Rain replied with an anime vain popping out of her head.

"Shiko, you have any idea why she's yelling at me?" Shippo asked looking over at her.

"Your on your own on this one Master Shippo." Shiko replied.

"WHAT!" He yelled.

"Damn it! Shut up, that was really cold and you know it kit!" Kuwabara yelled. (Kuwabara swore at someone whos name isn't Yusuke Oh boy.) Shippo frowned and then relised what he said and remained quiet the remander of the walk. (1)

Rain sniffed the air frowning.

"I smell smoke." Rain said slowly.

"You too? yea, I've been smelling it for a while now.

"I smell blood." Shippo said narrowing his eye's.

"hn, If you wish to go, so be it, but I'll have no part of it." Sesshomaru said gruffly.

"C'mon lets go." Yusuke said running, ignoreing Sesshomaru's comment. The rest followed Yusuke, Rain looked back to see Lor hesitate and look back at Sesshomaru. Rain turned her head back to see Yugi smileing. Rain smiled back and followed.

"Sesshomaru, I...have been meaning to ask you somthing." Lor said standing still, a small breeze was their only sorce of movment or sound. Sesshomaru stood waiting, unmoving. Knowing that was as much of a response as she was going to reseave she countiued,

"Why-" A huge explosion went off where the village was.

"Holy Shit!" Lor said and begain running toward the village, her long black hair flowing behind her. Sesshomaru's eye's narrowed.

"Onna." Sesshomaru called. Lor stopped as a shirken narrowly missed her faced.

"W.T.F?" Lor yelled angrily looking at the tree it had come from.

"Go." Sesshomaru said shortly.

"Wah?" Lor looked at him. He noded to her standing up tall to his full 7 ft self walking from the tree he had been leaning on.

She nodded to him showing she understood and ran toward the village.

"Now, show you self petty underling." Sesshomaru said emotionlessly glareing slightly at the tree.
