To all those who think that Maria is too good for Sesshomaru, this may or may not be the chapter for you to read.
Chapter 14: Sesshomaru Joins With Maria
Maria, Shippo, and Kirara continued their journey after their run-in with Sesshomaru. Shippo asked, "So where are we going?"
"We are going to find a campsite with an army," said Maria. "It is the Edenian/Outworld alliance army. It is made up of all of the people in Edenia and in Outworld that oppose the Dragon King and are willing to fight for freedom. Kirara, keep an eye out for a very large group of humans."
Kirara nodded and kept on flying. After a few minutes, Shippo saw Sesshomaru flying towards them again. Shippo shouted, "Hey! You want your butt to be kicked again!"
Maria then saw Sesshomaru. She said to Kirara, "Just keep on flying." Then she said to Sesshomaru, "What do you want now?"
Sesshomaru stared into Maria's eyes and said, "I request if…I can travel with you on your journey."
"Yeah right!" shouted Shippo. "If you can't beat Maria in a fair fight--!"
"Shippo!" said Maria. "Let me handle this." Then she flew towards Sesshomaru. She said, "Why should I let you join us?"
"If you are thinking that I am weak," said Sesshomaru, "you are mistaken. I am powerful, but your goddess powers are much more superior to mine. I want to defeat the demon that allied himself to the Dragon King."
"You must be serious about this. Is this demon powerful and goes by the name Naraku?"
"Yes, I have a score to settle with him."
Maria thought about this long and hard. Even Sesshomaru remembered when he joined with Maria during the reign of the Deadly Alliance.
Flashback
This girl…Sesshomaru thought to himself, is not afraid of me...Very well, I'll test her. I'll travel with her…for now. Then he said, "Before you go, I request if I can travel with you on your journey."
Maria showed a shocked face and said, "Are you sure about this? This journey I'm going on is very dangerous and deadly."
Sesshomaru smiled and said, "Humph…a few demons and humans won't hurt me. I'll live."
Could he see the danger of this, or is he reckless? Maria thought to herself. Then she said, "You may come, at your own risk."
End of Flashback
"We are looking for an army that we will be joining," said Maria. "If you want to join us, you will be stuck with immortal humans."
"I don't care," said Sesshomaru. "I…I…All I want is to defeat Naraku…" Then he thought, I can't express my feelings to her when she doesn't remember me…
"You may come," said Maria, "if you want."
"What!" yelled Shippo. "You're letting him join us! He's an enemy of ours!"
"If we want to stop all that is evil, rivals that oppose evil must join forces to eliminate that evil."
Sesshomaru smiled and followed Kirara all the way to their destination.
