25. Unnatural

"No Mercy. How do you like it?" Trapt, Bring it.

Sesshoumaru frowned.

The girl was still unconscious It had been a few hours and still she had not woken. It was unbelievable. How could she feel safe in the arms of a demon? What kind of priestess was she? His aura should keep her awake not put her to sleep. It was insulting. She was tucked against his chest held by his new arm as she sleep deeply to recover from her injuries. Sesshoumaru walked for hours. He did not know where he was or where he was going.

He conjured his cloud under his feet and flew straight up. This place was strange. The sky was a blood red color. It looked so unnatural. He tried to climb higher but hit a barrier.

The sky must be false.

It seemed as if it was a prison. When he flew high into the sky, the sky had some kind of barrier.

They were trapped in some sort of demon had humans created such a place? When had humans become so clever? He never thought that humans could ever trap him. It was a shame. He would destroy Lord Usui when he escaped from here.

Already they had been attacked multiple times but Sesshoumaru had easily had destroyed them.

Why were they attacking him?

When had he become a loser like Inuyasha? Demons usually thought twice about attacking him. Instead, the demons here attacked him as if he had no power. It was ridiculous.

Another demon jumped down with it's fangs bared. Sesshoumaru's claws shredded through the serpent demon.

Okay- that was just insulting. What a weak demon!

Did he lose all his respect?

Sesshoumaru glared at the sleeping priestess in his arms. It must be all her fault. Why couldn't Inuyasha get a more intimidating mate? Instead of an untrained priestess that didn't even wake up after all the attacks that he protected her from?

He could smell more demons coming.

It was a group.

Great.

Sesshoumaru did not want to fight. He wanted to get out of here. He wanted the priestess to wake up. It was not his day.

Could he get away?

No, they were too close.

He couldn't run away.

He stopped and prepared to fight.

The taller demons surrounded him.

Why were they making it so easy?

He flicked his wrist releasing his whip and spun intent to destroy them all at once. Then one of the demons grabbed his whip, grinned, then yanked it, pulling Sesshoumaru forward to his surprise.

Immediately, Sesshoumaru dissolved the whip.

He took out his sword and gripped Kagome tighter. The other demon laughed at him. Sesshoumaru did not need his arm since he had become used to fighting without it.

"I'm Goro, that's Haru, Taro,Tomo, and Shu," he said. "In this place we have rules. You don't seem to understand. You need to submit to the ones that are stronger than you."

Sesshoumaru's eyes gleamed maliciously, "This Sesshoumaru submits to no one. Leave before I end your lives."

"Sesshoumaru?" the demon asked. "Lord Sesshoumaru? You were caught by humans. That is too funny. You must not be as strong as what your reputation implies. I can't believe that today I will be the one that kills Lord Sesshoumaru."

The demon lord almost laughed at this demon's arrogance. It was wishful thinking.

"Sesshoumaru, Inutashio's daughter?" Goro jeered him. "Your father must be so ashamed that his son looks like a girl and is only half his size. What a shame! But it is good since we don't want another Inutashio walking on this land. Inutashio was a tyrant that stole my family's land. Lord of the West? Please Inutashio was the Tyrant of the West."

Sesshoumarus eyes turned red. Inside he screamed at the disrespect but he refused to show it his face was impassive as ever. You must never show your emotions to your enemy. It will only give away your weaknesses and ensure an early death. He refused to be affected by the useless opinion of this low level it wasn't as if he hadn't heard it before.

Goro launched at him with sword but Sesshoumaru blocked him with his sword.

Yet, Goro pushed him back a few feet until Sesshoumaru was able to stop, then he leaped up and kicked Goro in the face sending the demon to the ground.

But Goro stood up quickly then he attacked Sesshoumaru in a frenzy.

Sesshouaru blocked him blow by blow. Goro almost sliced through Kagome but Sesshoumaru moved away just in time.

Why couldn't the useless girl wake up?

"Look how the lord of puppies is protecting a human. How low that you have fallen. Why don't you kill her her? It was humans that trapped us us in here so you should give her to us so we can torture her. It be fun. Give her to us. Her scent is just drawing every demon to you. You might as well get rid of her. Or is she your master? I heard that every dog must have an owner."

Sesshoumaru just wanted to kill them all so he could find shelter. He rushed forward with his claws drawn. He swiped at Goru but Goru jumped out of the way.

They all attacked him.

He dodged them and hit as many as he could. He relied on his speed to keep him and Kagome from getting hurt.

But these were not humans so they did not die easily.

Yet, he was Lord Sesshoumaru so he did not die easily either.

Still he was surprised that the priestess was sleeping.

Then he saw his opening. He cut through all of them in one swooping motion.

They were dead. Now he could finally leave. He turned his back, but then he heard motion.

To his disgust the demons pieces reanimated until the demons had multiplied.

Now there was more of them.

Great.

Now, what was he supposed to do?

How can you defeat someone that can't be hurt by your sword?

One of the new Goros reformed, "Did you think that it was going to be that easy to kill us?"

Sesshoumaru narrowed his eyes. "I see, I must cut you into smaller pieces."

He rushed forward determined to kill them all.
