Inuyasha: Existence!

Chapter 33: Ambush!

A/N: Everyone, I'm sorry to say... But, during the process of revising all of the chapters, I lost one. I had only noticed this just now and I can't go back to get it since it was made on Quotev... Sadly, like I said, my quotev account was deactivated due to some...personal reasons and I had to copy+paste all of the chapters into a word document.

It appears I missed one...and it was an important one I believe. So, in the beginning, i'll give you a brief happening from what I could remember. No promises and I hope you'll continue to read this, I tried making the flow as smooth as I could make it; sorry for any confusion in advance.

Opening! (Play: Dream of netherlands by Nano! :D)

After a day of leisure and training hard yesterday. Though, during her training, her and Sesshomaru kept ending up in flirtatious situations and on occasion would even give small flirty teases. However, after the training they ended up having a meeting with all of Kagome's friends later that day and they disgused the Time Corpse to them and what there was to come, thus they all agreed upon warning the Queen of the events soon to come.

After everyone's weapons were made and ready for the battle that's to come, night came. Y/N convinced the others, even her new boyfriend caugh Sesshi caugh, to visit Queen Suji. She wanted to ask for their assistance in the upcoming war and in order to do so, they would have to explain to her about the Time Corpse and the events that were soon to arrive; so there they all were, standing before the Queen's throne with Onyx and Shishi on either side of their mother. Nearly transparent drapes were casting over the throne and the Suji family excluding Obi of course...sat behind it, the gang could barely see their faces.

Sesshomaru kept a tight grip on Y/N's waist and glared daggers at Obsidian from his peripherals. Now that he had his woman, he wouldn't dare allow her any space due to Obi constantly taking the opportunities to confront her while she's alone. Obi kept scowling, he was furious! The shade had veiled over his closed, blind eyes and a dangerous frown was evident. Of course, the batman never once peeked at the lordship for he knew...that with even a glance towards her, would render him wounded.

His clawed hands clenched into fists behind his folded, wrapped-around wings. Kagome, Y/N, Rin, and Jaken all stared at the dark redhead with devastated features; they were scared out of their minds of the dark aura that radiated off his frame. Sesshomaru's dangerous glare held fury and the intent to kill, so he chose to wait until his inner seethe went away before even taking a glance at Y/N. "My son... What brings you and your friends here?~" Kurochi asked as her silhouette shifted slightly behind the drapes.

"Queen Suji, we wanted to inform you of something very serious," Y/N spoke up and clenched Sesshi's robes lightly out of nervousness. Her face were ten shades of red, for many...MANY reasons. Her alien eyes darted from her feet to Suji countless times because of how embarrassed she felt.

"Inform me, hm? What kind of news do you bring me?" Suji's voice became serious this time and her silhouette rose from the throne and took a step forward.

"Kurochi..." Asashi decided to step in, referring to her by her first name considering they were good friends. This caught the Queen's attention, she knew just by her first name being spoken, that it was her friend and that the situation was dire. She waved her hand and made her servants part the drapes, exposing her and her two other children. Her expression held a strict look as she made her way down the few steps of the platform.

Onyx and Shishi both gazed at each other confusedly, then stared back at their mother. Asashi walked towards her and his orange eyes were glued to red ones. "You need to get your people to safety... A war is coming soon, we don't know where it will be taking place, but the threat is unimaginably powerful. Y/N here is the only being alive, that can vanquish the threat... However, being outnumbered will defeat us. We need more soldiers to fight in this war, I was hoping you could provide safety to civilians; man, demon, elf, saint, everyone... Mamono City's large enough to house a considerable amount of people," Onyx and Shishi overheard Asashi's explanation and walked over to them.

Kurochi's expression remained the same, she stood there with her hands clasped in front of her and a contemplative look in her red eyes. A thick silence ensued as she gazed into an orange pair, searching for any ounce of lies he might have. As a Queen, despite their friendship, it was her job to make sure no lies came out of a person's mouth. "Very well... I know you well enough to understand, that you would never lie about this sort of situation. As many times as I've searched in your orange eyes for false information in the past, you've never lied to me once. Alright, I'll order my guards throughout the city and in my palace to escort every citizen into the underground waterways. It's the safest place in Mamono City, because no one can get through its thick stoned tunnels. What and how did you discover the incoming war?" she questioned before taking quick glances at everyone else behind him. Some people she's never encountered before, were there. So, how could she not take his word for it...?

Telling her about the Time Corpse and what she informed him of, from bringing Y/N from a different time to kill off the threat, up to now. Even the parts about the betrayal of Kurimi, her sister n' law. He explained everything in detail so she'd understand what was going on. With her eyes closed, she nodded her head in understanding and looked over at Y/N.

"I do hope you're prepared... From what Asashi told me, you haven't even grasped the technique of controlling the solar flares...which, is used to defeat the threat. The weapons you made won't be enough to take down the threat alone, it'd only be enough to take its soldiers down. At least, that is what I'm concluding here. During the war, I will stay within the waterways in case those creatures manage to invade it somehow. Onyx, Shishi, you both defend the palace while I remain in the waterways with the citizens..." she ordered her kids and looked over her shoulder at them. Back over at Y/N, who was sweating profusely out of nervousness and fear of her own life, she requested one thing from the young woman. "My weapon... Is originally a scythe. Craft me a Ketix Scythe and grant me the recipe needed to make Ketix weapons, preferably swords. I'll order Torgadi to craft them during the war and hide away within the waterways so my soldiers can pass out blades to each other who are heading into battle," she demanded.

The strict stare in her red eyes, that were once teasing and mischievous, made her gulp in response. "S-Sure... You have something I can write it all down on?" She asked, just to see her nod and lift a hand. Kurochi snapped her fingers, not once breaking her gaze from Y/N and heard shuffling feet nearby. Quickly, a servant handed Y/N a quill and a scroll in which she hesitantly took. "Thanks..." She said nervously and felt her hands shaking a bit. I hope she's not gonna steal the ideas that were passed down through my family... That'd suck! I mean, nobles do tend to steal if the product has a chance to make a lot of money...! I have every right to worry here! she mentally exclaimed in panic and looked around.

There sat a small table near the wall and she hastily walked over to it. Sesshomaru was right on her tail, making sure not even leave a gap big enough lest she be exposed to Obsidian. When she bent over to write, she felt the fluffy tail of his brush over her shoulder and her ear. Comical tears streamed down her face as she held a shaky grip on the quill. His backside was to her and his arms were folded, yet never did he stare at the others. He kept his eyes closed the entire time. WHY DOES HE HAVE TO BE SO HOOOT?! Damn it brain, stop thinking dirty! He's turned around! GAAAH! she mentally screamed and started banging her head on the table. That caught Sesshi's attention, making him peek down at her over his shoulder with a risen brow. He watched her hysterically bang her forehead on the surface, until Kagome grew concerned.

"You okay, Y/N?!" Kagome exclaimed with worry, just to have the alien half breed turn her head to her with closed eyes.

"I'm just fine, thanks for worrying!~" Y/N sarcastically reassured with a dramatically bleeding forehead, tears, and a twitching closed smiled.

You're not fine at all! The gang shouted in their heads in unison, except Sesshomaru and Obsidian. They all had round blank, twitching eyes and dropped jaws.

"S-Sesshomaru...?" Y/N began, stood up straight and faced him. He turned halfway and saw her flustered, bleeding state then used his hand to wipe the blood off her forehead. "T-Thanks... Anyway, um...you think you could... Oh, I don't know...stand beside me?" she asked, then cupped her one hand to the side of her mouth and whispered her reason why. When she told him, thankfully Inuyasha couldn't hear, Sesshi's cheeks formed pink tints. Albeit, still stoic as a statue, he did his best not to show his red cheeks. With a simple nod, he walked over and stood to her side, keeping his arms folded.

With a beet-red face, Y/N quickly turned around after sighing from relief. Now she got to work, although she still felt her heart race ninety miles an hour due to explaining why she wanted him to move... As she wrote things down in her bent over position, Sesshi's golden eyes slowly looked up and down at her posture. He was secretly checking her out, taking in her curves and kept in mind what she told him about that dirty thought she had.

He didn't realize his own mind went off to wonderland at that point and growled lowly, not from annoyance but from something else...~ She didn't hear it though, nor did she see him staring at her, she was too busy jotting the instructions down on how to craft a normal Ketix sword.

Asashi rolled his eyes at seeing Sesshomaru's behavior, the others were just confused as to why he was growling like that. "Kurochi, could you please contact Inukimi and ask for some assistance in this war? We'll need all the armed soldiers we can get... I'm sure she would have no issues with locating other yokai that can fight, to help us," he asked before stating the last sentence.

"Certainly..." Queen Suji answered and saw Y/N walk over to her with the recipe and instructions written down. Gladly taking it and giving a nod of appreciation, she viewed Asashi once more and smirked. "You know...once this is all over, would you ever consider settling down with a Ketix woman? You're always by yourself... Just seeing you surrounded by friends right now just lifts my spirit. It's a sign of a possibility, that you'll find a Ketix woman,~" she teased, chuckled to herself and began to walk away.

"Someday... When I feel I'm ready..." Asashi, who had pink tints dusting his cheeks, closed his eyes and sighed. All he heard was light giggling from Kurochi, which made him shake his head at knowing she was teasing him.

"Thank you for the instructions, Y/N," Kurochi began, turned to look over her shoulder at her and gave a serious expression. "I'd recommend that you train harder than ever before... If you wish to grasp the technique of manipulating the solar flares... Time waits for no one..." she added, continued onward and passed up a worried Onyx who gave a short nod their way before following after her.

After they left, Y/N let out a breath of air that she didn't know she held. Suddenly, out of nowhere, Sesshomaru picked her up into his arms and walked towards the exit, shocking her all the while. "S-Sesshomaru, what the hell?!" she thrashed about with her feet but calmed down soon after, when she realized it was stupid to try and get free from a strong guy like him.

Feeling his muscles encase her, his scent close to her nose, she almost had a nose bleed... The others tailed them while some of them snickered from behind. A swirling animation appeared in her eyes as she laid the side of her head on his chest, she wanted to know why he decided to scoop her up like that...

Not even a split second of a chance...Obsidian... Sessho mentally noted with furious golden eyes and a low, angry growl resonating from his throat.

After they all reached Torgadi's shop, they stood inside the building and saw him sleeping against the wall. With the occasional snort from his snores, the last snort woke him up and his eyes adjusted to the sight before him. "Hm...?" he hummed in question, then yawned. "Ah, you're back again? What is it this time...?" he asked, stretched and stood up away from the wall.

Sesshomaru walked over to him and put Y/N down, who was still in a flustered mess... "Queen Suji will need your assistance soon... For now, allow Y/N to craft a Ketix Scythe, she was ordered to do so," Sesshomaru explained and stayed as close as possible to the young woman. She took wobbly steps towards the forge and smacked her cheeks to snap herself out of her stupor.

"Alright, do you have the materials...?" Torgadi questioned, saw Sesshomaru shake his head and glance over at Asashi.

"Go buy some materials for Y/N," His demanding tone met Asashi's pointed ears and saw him nod in response. With his hand, he pulled out a coin pouch and chucked it over at the Ketix, in which the teacher easily caught. Asashi exited the building without another word, it was pretty late at night right now so everyone was a bit tired. Rin, who got carried by Kagome, slept soundly in her arms. Sesshi trusted her enough to hold Rin and keep her with them while he made sure Y/N wasn't going to be attacked by Obi again.

As time passed, Y/N got the materials, crafted the scythe, and exhaled from exhaustion. She almost fell backward and passed out if Sesshi hadn't of caught her by the shoulders.

"It's done..." she whispered, closed her eyes and felt the need to sleep. It was a huge scythe... A long pole that was slightly curved at the top and a Plexiglas scythe-blade that had the solar devices connected to it. The Scythe was beautiful despite it looking black, they could only imagine the glowing features it would have when it'd get turned on under the sun. "I'm... So tired.." she whispered then let her head droop down and allowed her mind to fall into dreamland. Sesshomaru looked down at her and carefully bent over to pick her up.

"Asashi, deliver the Scythe to the Queen... Kagome, Inuyasha, everyone, return to Obsidian's home..." he ordered and walked out of the shop after Asashi picked the heavy Scythe up.

As tired as they were now, they didn't really reply back they just did as they were told. Koga however, rubbed the back of his neck as he made his way out of the shop from behind the whole group. Something caught his blue eyes though, a shift in the darkness among the several houses around them. He paused in his step and stared in the said direction, frozen in his position. Something didn't feel right... He was getting an ominous vibe from that one spot he stared at. "Guys," he began, slowly sauntered over to the group to catch up and turned his Ketix weapon on.

They were foot blades, in between his toes were blades that popped out and started to glow a golden hue. "We have company...!" he lifted his voice. The whole gang twirled around and looked in the said direction Koga stared at after he caught up.

Kagome jumped behind Inuyasha since her hands were full; everyone pulled out their Ketix weapons, Miroku's weapon was his staff but with solar devices attached. On the very tip of his staff, Plexiglas covered the tip of it and it glowed after he clicked a button near where he grasped it. Sesshomaru just turned halfway and stared in the area they all faced, still holding a sleeping Y/N in his arms. "Who's there?" Miroku questioned, trying not to waken the two sleeping girls.

Slowly, a shadowed figure came walking out of the darkness and what surprised them...was when Obsidian spoke up. "One of those blackened creatures that Y/N destroyed a while back, has appeared. Allow me to-" before he got to finish, a quick blur of black tackled him from the side and they both flew across the street. Two... Two of them appeared, not just one of them.

The gang gasped, took stances and saw more emerge from the shadows. Quietly, like ninjas or stealth masters, kept showing up out of the darkness. "Kagome... Take Rin back to the palace!" Sesshi demanded and saw her nod then run off with Inuyasha behind her, for safety reasons.

"What about YN?!" Kagome hollered out as she ran and made little Rin squirm slightly in her hold. She dared to question Y/N's safety when he had her protected in his arms? She received a warning glare from her brother n' law and took that as a hint to not worry about her. Hesitation was evident in her steps, but she continued on back to the palace regardless.

"Such timing they have..." Sesshi mumbled and shot his strict eyes back at those black creatures that gradually walked towards them. One of them popped their neck, another cracked their knuckles and a few others were stretching their biceps.
