You know...I have never been so frustrated by an anime/manga as much as i am right now before...Because of the hair...
Like...Holy shit every time I go to try and watch/read more of Ushino and Tora i get so fucking irrationally irritated by their GODDAMN HAIR! LIKE HONESTLY WHY DOES HIS HAIR GET SO FUCKING LONG (DURINS BANE NOT EVEN SEPHIROTH'S IS THAT LONG!)?! WHY DOES THE DEMON (Forgot his name) HAVE HAIR THAT MAKES HIM LOOK LIKE A BALL OF FUR OR A PORCUPINE!?
AND I AM APOLOGIZING SO FUCKING MUCH TO THOSE THAT WANTED TO READ THE OMAKE CROSSOVER FOR IT BUTHOLYSHITIJUSTCAN'TSEEMTOGETOVERTHEFUCKINGHAIR?!
Also, can someone tell me what the hell 'My Immortal' is? Like I'm always seeing that title in some reviews in other story's, mentioning it in one way or another, and am Curious as to what it is. Like, is it a Fic someone wrote, or an actual story...? Is it really that bad from what I've read from reviews? Should i read it?
I've also decided to start watching 'The Walking Dead'.
Yes, i know, shocking huh? that i haven't seen it? well, i watched like the first few episode when it first came out, but then i missed some episodes and when i tried to watch it with my mom i had no fucking idea as to what was happening and like next i knew they were on some farm, and then suddenly a prison was involved and a guy with an eyepatch came with a mother fuckin' tank- holy shit wut?- and just-
I had no idea what the hell was happening anymore. So i deiced, "Fuck, I'm going to watch this shit until i am caught up."
...Do you think it's worth it? like, should i watch the walking dead? Hm...
Also, surprisingly a Twilight crossover at the bottom...
Because...Tokijin
"Be careful papa!" Rin said towards Sesshomaru, a serious expression on her face as she stared up at him. "Rin wish's that she could go with you, but mama told Rin to stay, so Rin will stay." she sighed.
"Hmp, it's not like you could!" Jaken stated, "From here on, if a mere human goes in, the noxious air will kill them!"
"Oya? Mere Human?" I purred dangerously as I combed A-Un's main's. "Do you think me so weak that I would allow those poisonous fumes to even get near myself or Rin if we were to go with you?" I questioned with a raised brow. "Be reminded, Jaken, that a mere human such as myself can turn you to dust with a touch of my finger."
He gulped, rapidly shaking his head and Kowtowed. "N-No, t-that is not what I meant at all! Please forgive m-me!" he stuttered.
I raised a brow, watching him squirm for a bit, before dismissing him with a 'Hn'. "I hope you get what you so desire, my lord. We will be awaiting your return right here." I said as Sesshomaru started walking away.
"Papa, you'll be back soon, right?" Rin asked with furrowed brows.
"...Let's go Jaken." was all Sesshomaru said before the two disappeared.
"...Well then, now that is just us what would you like to do Rin?" I questioned. Rin thought for a moment, before an idea came to her and she hurried to her bag and fished out the book of healing remedy's I have given her.
"Mama, can you teach me how to make a burn salve?" she asked excitedly. I smiled, putting away the comb and waved her over. Grinning she scamper over, and sat down with me as we leaned onto A-Un.
"Well, we will have to start on the first degree burn salves and work our way up. I have different ointments for different types of burns and for different locations on the body, along with how they effect different types of demons and different age groups." I explained as I flipped through the handwritten book, Rin was paying careful attention to what I was saying, taking everything I said into her mind. "I also have some for some animal's as well from when I was but a child, but there wasn't many opportunity's where I could treat burnt animal's so there isn't much on this section..." I trailed off, remembering when I use to treat any animal I came across. Mother was so amused when I brought over a different animal back home every week, it was how we had gotten Buyo.
"Oh! Can I learn how to make the Inu ones?" she asked.
Inu's? "Oh?"
she blushed and looked down, "Well, papa is a dog demon...So I thought that if I knew how to make these, then I could help when he gets hurt!" she reasoned. I chuckled, marveling at how pure her soul is, before flipping the pages to the demon section before stopping at the 'canine' page. I never had any opportunity's to heal any actual dog demon's, but I had healed 'wolf' demons before seeing as the twins had been half wolves.
"Hn, well, I have not actually had any experience to make an Inu-youkai salve, but maybe we can tweak the Wolves formula?" I suggested.
"Oh, okay!" she agreed, before pursing her lip's in thought. "Do you think papa will let us test it out on him?"
"...Probably not." I hummed, thinking on how we would test it to see if it worked. ….Well, he does have a half-breed brother that I could use. I mused while staring at the recipe to see what to change and what to keep the same. It's not like it'll be a big deal if he get's any side-effect's from the salve, because Sesshomaru won't care. And I was sure I could handle Kagome fuming at me a bit more. Besides, he won't be able to do anything to Rin if I do corner him, he isn't that stupid...I should hope. "Well, my dearest sister- that is, your aunt Kagome, is traveling with a half-breed Inu-youkai. I'm sure he will let us test it on him, and while we're at it I could introduce you and Kagome. I think she will love to meet you."
Hours passed as we waited for Sesshomaru to come back, and during that time I taught Rin how to make three different slaves and made sure she could make them in her sleep is needed. I caught some game and lead her step by step in cooking stew, then finally I watched her play with her sheep that she named 'Yuki' for his white fur.
Sesshomaru came back once the soup was ready to be served, Rin had immediately ran to him and told him about what she learned today, showing him what she made.
"Alright, alright, Rin. Leave your father be, he just came back and we have some things to discuss. Why don't you go and bother Jaken for a bit?" I suggested while pointing at the toad who seemed very interested in the soup I made.
"Ok!" she agreed before running and throwing herself on top of the imp.
"She has so much energy." I chuckled. "Welcome back, my lord. I take it everything went according to how you wished?" I stated.
"Kaijinbou has agreed to make me a sword that will take three day's time." he answered as we walked closer towards the center of the camp.
"I am rather curious as to what the sword being made," I said as I watched Rin eating her soup with Jaken. "a sword made from the fangs that broke Tetsusaiga, the sword that could kill a hundred in one swipe, your father's fable fang..." I sighed out, trailing off and glancing up towards Sesshomaru when he seemed offended by what I said. He slightly glared at me, as a bit of anger set in, which was understandable since the sword had belong to his father. The sword that he had spent a good few decades trying to find. He was proud and respected Tetsusaiga even if he didn't inherit it, and the way I was speaking about some demons destroying the sword...well... I literally just unintentionally called his father's fang- thus the man himself- weaker then some low-breed demon that came from Naraku. I concluded, slowly raising my hands up in front of me for him to see then showed him my neck, I had no intention's of getting into a fight with him for something like this. "I meant no disrespect, my lord. It was just an observation on how powerful your future sword will be."
He observed me, seeming to see if I was lying, before relaxing his glare back into his stoic expression. "Hn." he grunted.
That was a close one, almost shot myself in the foot there.
We were silent after that, content in just watching what the other members of the pack were doing and enjoying the peaceful afternoon. I glanced over towards Sesshomaru, looking him over and making sure he was alright. I knew he could take care of himself, he wasn't a daiyoukai for nothing, but I like to make sure he is fine, if only to satisfy my possessiveness. It was then that my eyes landed on his Moko-moko, remembering him telling me that it was apart of him and was- in fact- his tail. I've seen it move on occasion, but I never really...thought about it. I wonder what his true form looks like. I mused. I would like to see it one day, if ever. Maybe I'll see it soon?
"What is it?" he questioned with a slightly raised brow. He seemed to have caught me staring at him.
"Ah, nothing my lord. It is a silly thing, you need not be concerned." I muttered. Hm? He looks very desirable when the light hit's him like that. I thought as the sunlight hit his hair and made it glow, and made his skin look softer and his amber eye's brighten.
His lips also looked fairly inviting as well.
"Kaname." he said, a slight warning in his tone, not liking that I seem to be holding information from him.
So, with a sigh, I decided to tell him. "I was just wondering what you true form looks like is all. I have never seen it, and the size of your tail makes me wonder how big you are, tis' truly nothing to worry about." I assured him. He blinked slowly at me, before humming and nodding his head in acceptance to my answer.
"Mama?" Rin questioned curiously three day's later. She was hovering over my curled up form underneath a tree as we waited for the sword to be finished.
"Nhg...Y-Yes Rin?" I grunted, curling up even more when jolts of pain coursed through me.
"Whats wrong? Did you get hurt?" she asked anxiously.
"J-Just a little pain is all. I didn't get hurt, I just need you to get me the bottle of yellow pills I made for me, alright?" I asked, groaning a bit and burying my head into the earth. I heard her footsteps hurry towards A-Un's, where my bag was hooked to his saddle, before rushing back and holding the bottle to my face. "Thank you." taking the bottle and opening it up, I quickly downed two of the round pill's.
"...Mama?"
"Yes?"
"Why is papa and Jaken sitting far away from you? And why are you in pain?" she questioned, looking at said two who were well away from my current spot and staying there. I saw Jaken staking rocks out of boredom and Sesshomaru standing as he gazed at nothing, lost in his thoughts, but far closer to me then Jaken was. But not as lost as he seems, since it was obvious he had some of his attention onto us.
An amused smiled made its way onto my lips, resisting the urge to snort, I turned to my daughter and told her. "Because, Rin, I am currently on my cycle. You will some day have to go through the same thing, just as every female has to go through once they are old enough. And when we are in such cycles, our pheromones are projected out to snag a possible mate." I explained.
"Eh? Is that why papa is so far away?"
"Yes, because his sense of smell is far superior to that of a humans, thus the smell of pheromones is quite potent to him. So he is staying away form me for a few day's until it pass's."
"Oh..." she said before cocking her head. "But why does it happen? Why does it need to attract a mate?"
"so the two can do...'adult things'...and make a baby." I said slowly, not really wanting to get into this topic with Rin, but emphasizing the adult part. One day, I will explain sex and the like to her, but at the moment she is FAR too young to know about this.
Maybe when she is thirty.
….Sixty also seems reasonable.
She stared at me, her big brown eye's blinking innocently, before slowly nodding her head. I shifted uncomfortably as I sat up right, sensing Sesshomaru's amusement at said discomfort. "Ooooh...ok! So papa can smell it?"
"Yes."
"And if he get's too close then adult things will happen?"
"...in a sense, I suppose so."
She stared at me intensely, seeming to debate about something in her head. She also got this strange gleam in her eye's...
"Can you and papa make Rin a baby brother or sister!?" she asked excitedly.
…
…
…
Did I just feel lust and desire radiate off of Sesshomaru when I choked on nothing? I thought, bewildered at the strange reaction. I glanced towards him, and found his eyes staring at my person, eyebrows shot up in surprise by what he heard. Jaken was practically having a heart attack, clutching his chest and twitching. "Rin!"
"Whats wrong mama?"
"Rin, you cannot just ask such a thing, it is very rude. There is also the fact that your father and I cannot have a...child together." she looked confused, "Rin it is just..." I trailed off, thinking on how to explain to her that that wasn't going to happen. At all. Sesshomaru was a Daiyoukai and must marry a pure-blooded demoness (That I approve of) to continue his line, and seeing how I was a ningen- a miko at that- it was not a good idea to even think about such things with him. "It cannot happen."
She frowned in confusion at me, "Why not? You just said that you were in your cycle thing that attracts a mate, and Papa is just over there, only needing to take a few steps for you two to touch, and then Rin will have a baby brother or sister." she reasoned.
"Rin," Sesshomaru called out. "leave it be. The matter of another pup is to be discussed between your mother and I, it is not for the ears of the young. Understood?" he questioned, raising a brow at her. Rin pouted briefly, but it melted away as acceptance settled in making her nod. "Hn. Go and play Rin." he commanded.
"Alright papa!" Rin chirped, jumping to her feet and running towards Jaken (Who still seemed to be having trouble with his heart).
"...I...Am not sure what to think about at the moment..." I mumbled as Sesshomaru came near me, keeping a good few feet between us, and hummed.
"It was an unexpected topic." he noted as his eyes flickered towards me.
"Ah, it was." I agreed, wincing slightly at a particularly painful cramp. "...Please disregard what you heard, my lord." feeling my face heat up slightly, I peeked up at the demon and cleared my throat when I received a twitch of a smirk. "Hn, well, today is the day that the sword should be finish, yes? Will you be retrieving it yourself, or are you sending Jaken out to fetch it?"
Sesshomaru stared at me, and hopefully he wont try and continue the topic of that conversation, before nodding his head as he looked towards the imp. "Jaken!" he barked, gaining the imp's attention. "Go and retrieve the sword from Kaijinbou." he ordered.
Jaken scrambled up, "Oh- of course my lord! It would be my honor to do so!" he said before scurrying off.
"Awwww..." Rin whined, a bottle of her ointment in her hands. "I wanted to try this one out on him." she pouted. She got over it fairly quickly though, shrugging her shoulder's and deciding to make some flower crowns instead.
She recovers fairly quickly. I mentally noted. I found my eye's drifting towards Sesshomaru, who was keeping an eye on Rin, and observed him for a bit. I seem to be doing that a lot lately, I mused as I drank everything in. He seems to be on my mind constantly as of late, re-runs of our conversations filtering through and making my heart flutter. It was strange, to say the least.
I did not know how to deal with this...Attraction I seem to have for the lord. I've never had any experience when it came to the opposite gender, father would glare at every boy that came within ten feet of me. He had told me the horrors of men, how disgusting they were and how I was to never trust them because they were vile and had no honor. So it makes me wonder if this was normal. I have read some romance novels where the girl fall's for the boy, but that's the problem...
The females always fall's for the boy's. And Sesshomaru was a man, not an immature adolescent like his younger brother, thus I wasn't sure if how to go about this. He looks nothing like a 'boy', I thought as I compared Sesshomaru to those novels and dramas. He actually has muscle on his body, his face lost most of his boy-ish features, he knew what to do and how to lead, he can protect us properly, he provides the food the majority of the time. ...I wonder if he has any scars. I thought, before realizing my mind was starting to go towards...unsavory area's. Shaking my head slightly to get rid of those thoughts- No matter how pleasant the image of a naked Sesshomaru was (I am still female with needs)- I noticed that Sesshomaru was looking at me with a raised brow.
Ah...Was I projecting hormones? Damn cycle.
"I apologize if I am making you uncomfortable." I mumbled, feeling my face heat up.
"Hn, it is nothing to be ashamed of, it is normal for desire to inflame in females in heat when near a male." he explained.
Did he really just compare me to a dog in heat?
Well, okay, I guess technically that is what demons call it. I sighed.
"Oh, is that it?" I questioned. Earlier Sesshomaru had gone to go check up on Jaken, since the imp had not come back and it was already nighttime, and thought something must have happened to the little frog. He was right, of course, because it seemed Kaijinbou had become possessed by the sword he had forged.
Rather that is what I figured out when Jaken told me what happened, it wasn't hard to figure out once he described the state of the demons eye's. Sesshomaru had left Jaken with a sleeping Rin and told me to come with him, just in case he needed to get rid of the sword if it did not submit to him (He did not need a disobedient sword). So I left Rin with Jaken, enforcing the barrier some more, and sat behind Sesshomaru as we decided to take A-Un for once (Poor by needed to be able to stretch and let loose once in a while).
"Nh." Sesshomaru confirmed, his eye's narrowing slightly before seemingly sighing in resignation. I quirked a brow at the expression, wondering what could have possibly brought that up. "It is indeed Kaijinbou, or where he use to be," because the aura we were tracking suddenly disappeared. It seemed the demon has died. "but it seems that he may have perished at the hands of Inuyasha, for his scent and your sisters is exactly where the smith use to be." he answered.
I straightened up in my seat. Kagome was near? It seems I'll be getting my answers from her sooner then I had originally thought. I mused, "My lord, would you like to test your new sword on Inuyasha? Or may I finally eliminate the filth from the earth?" I questioned, because as much as I would take delight in killing Inuyasha, Sesshomaru wanted the new sword in order to be able to best Tetsusaiga and win it from Inuyasha. Even if he couldn't use it, he had admitted that he would rather still have it and not use it then to let it stay in the hands of Inuyasha's- who couldn't use it to save his life- of all people. If he wanted to fight the bastard, then I had no choice but to step aside and make due with watching Sesshomaru kill him. "I could keep the others at bay, should you wish it."
"Stand aside, I will be fighting the half-breed, I do not want you getting involved." he ordered as he unlatched the muzzle of A-Un's fire head as we came into range of the group. "There is also something I must test that I am curious about." he mumbled as A-Un opened fire, striking the sword itself and engulfing it so Inuyasha- who was near the sword- would get away from it.
I took the reins as Sesshomaru dismounted, his eyes sliding over the other group (Including Toutousai), as he strolled up to the sword.
"Wha- Sesshomaru?!" Inuyasha questioned in shock. Getting his thoughts back, he glared at my lord. "What are you doing here?!"
Sesshomaru raised a brow, "That's my line." he said dryly. "I just came after this sword. It seems like, the oni killed by you still wanted revenge, even after it became a sword." he stated.
That makes sense. I thought while sliding off of A-Un. I pat the dragon's neck twice before walking to stand next to Sesshomaru, peering down at the sword that he had commissioned. Hn, it's strangely fitting of my lord. I mused, eying it up and down critically. In both looks and power it seems.
"He knows that Toukijin was made from Goshinji's fangs...?" Sango stated in suspicion. He husband narrowed his eye's, grip tightening on his staff, as he shifted in front of her slightly.
"...Which means that..."
Sesshomaru, seeing where this was leading, decided to confirm what they were all thinking. "I was the one who had Kaijinbou make the sword." he admitted, not at all ashamed of saying it. And why would he be?
"Eh?" Kagome said, probably shocked that he commissioned a sword with such an evil aura.
"Sesshomaru! You mustn't touch Toukijin!" he warned. That received raised brows from both Sesshomaru and myself. "Even for you, if you touch it you'll be exposed to Toukijin's evil and be possessed like Kaijinbou-!"
"And should such a thing come to pass," I interrupted, a little peeved by how weak he thought Sesshomaru to be if he thought the sword could possess him. "Then I will destroy the sword. I will not allow anything to harm my lord, and he has no such use for a sword that will try to be above it's standing. But I am sure I will not be needed, my lord is strong enough to over come such a feeble demon." I informed them with a challenging brow when they gawked at me.
"N-Nee-chan..." Kagome muttered, a bead of sweat going down her temple.
I heard Sesshomaru chuckle, a smirk on his face as he gripped the sword and pulled it out of the ground. "Humph, arsehole, who do you think I am." I admit, I found immense satisfaction as I watched their faces when Sesshomaru's power overthrew Toukijin's.
I swear I heard Toutousai whimper.
"This means this sword has also chosen me as it's master." Sesshomaru commented, seemingly admiring Toukijin, before looking to Inuyasha. "Draw, Inuyasha. I want to verify something about you." he glanced down at me, "Kaname, step back."
I bowed, "Of course, my lord." I mumbled turning and grabbing A-Un's rein's and leading him a good distance away.
"Don't do it, Inuyasha." Kagome warned, a bit of worry in her voice as she regarded that filthy hanyou she wasfuckingtouchingwhyisshetouchingthatthing?!
I ignored everything else as I glared at the sleeve my sister was holding onto. She shouldn't be near that thing. She shouldn't even fucking be here! She should be at home, where it is safe and sound, where she is with mother and Souta who can protect her! Where grandfather could teach her! Taking a deep calming breath, I told A-Un to stay where he was- unlatching my naginata from him- before I made my way towards my sister and ancestors. They noticed me and tensed, Kagome still seemed to be a little miffed at me, their eye's trained on my weapon. I mentally scoffed at them.
"Hello Kagome, it is a surprise to see you here when you should be at home, like the good child you should be." I commented casually.
As I said this, Miroku seemed to relax his stance, his eye's set in determination as he walked up to me. I quirked a brow, wondering what he was going to do, getting even more curious when he grabbed my hand in between his own and leaned in to me. I had to look down slightly, he was three inches shorter then myself. "Oh, fair Lady Kaname, even though we seemed to have our differences in the past I have a request to make of you before I die."
"Oh? Does this request of yours affect my Lord Sesshomaru's fight in any way?"
He shook his head, "Nothing so violent. Nay, my lady, my request is this; will you possibly bear my children?" he asked.
…
…
…
…
What.
…
…
The clearing became deathly silent, even Sesshomaru and Inuyasha stopped their fighting. I could see from the corner of my vision my sister gawking at the monk, while Sango seemed infuriated.
"...You wish...for me to...bear you a child...?" I questioned slowly, wondering if I misheard him.
"Yes." he said without missing a beat.
...Ah.
Blinking slowly, I was about to answer when the murderous aura of Sesshomaru's flooded the area. The air seemed to crackle with his youkai, the birds fled, the squirrels ran and the grass seemed to bow before his anger. I turned towards him and was surprised to see his eye's have gone red as he stared at the monk holding my hand.
Inuyasha seemed to be twitching where he stood, looking at the monk like he had gone insane.
"MIROKU!" Kagome yelled.
"He must really want to die." Toutousai commented.
"IDIOT! WHAT THE HELL ARE YA DOIN' FRATERNIZING WITH THE ENEMY?!" Inuyasha yelled.
"YOU PERVERT!" Sango yelled, making a move to come over and drag the monk away. I understand, after all her husband did just blatantly say he would like to have sex with me. "THIS IS NOT THE TIME FOR THAT!"
"YEAH! HOW DARE YOU TRY AND BED MY NEE-CHAN!"
...Things are straying off course. I thought as I pulled my hand out of his grasp, "The answer is no, monk. I already have a child, and you are not my type." I answered as Sango grabbed Miroku by the ear and dragged him back to her side. "...Right, I came here for answer's." I said as I looked towards Kagome. She straighten up as I went back on topic, trying to make herself look bigger then she is, her eye's gleaming defiance. Ah, how cute. "Now, I am curious as to how you seemed to have gotten past my seal, because I know you are no where near to being able to do anything with such untrained miko powers." she opened her mouth to say something, but I cut her off. "And do not even try and pass off that mother and grandfather suddenly had a change of heart, mother would never approve of you coming back when she has not even started your training yet. Using Inuyasha as an excuse is also a no go, dear sister, for he is not very well liked at the moment by mother and grandfather- yes he knows, I told him about your little adventures when you seemed to have failed to mention anything to him."
She glared at me, the sound's of sword clashing once again picking back up since the little mishap was solved. "...Mama likes Inuyasha." she stated.
I scoffed. "No, she does not, at least not anymore that is." I informed her, smirking at her shocked face. "In fact, I am confident that mother will skin him alive with her sword the next she see's him." I paused, thinking of what else my mother had said when we were discussing that incompetent hanyou. "Well, that and I think she mentioned pouring salt, lemon, and lime into his exposed muscle before jabbing a hot iron poker into his eye's."
"W-What?" Sango stuttered, seeming in disbelief about what my mother could do. I wonder what Kagome has told them about mother for them to look like that? I mused. They probably have no idea about what mother is really capable of.
"M-Mama c-couldn't have s-said that..." Kagome said nervously.
"Hn, you're right," I shrugged, hearing Kagome and my ancestors breath a sigh in relief. "I was the one who suggested the lime and lemon, I may have also suggested ramming rusted nail's between his finger nails." (A/N: Durins ass, even I cringed and got phantom pains from that. And I was the one who wrote it! D: ) I sighed out. "Sadly she did not take to it, said something about the kitchen getting messy." I cracked a smirk at the paling of their skin's and the sweat sliding down their temples.
"...That...Is terrifying..." Toutousai mumbled from behind the group.
"Hmp, you are just weak-willed, now then, I believe you owe me an explanation." I said, directing my gaze towards Kagome.
"..." she stayed silent, staring at me.
"Oya, oya, oya?" I hummed, a smirk growing on my face. "Tight lipped are we? Well, you know I will never hurt you, Kagome. You are my dear little sister who I will protect with my life, I would see this world burn to the ground if you asked it of me, this you know." I said, meaning every word I spoke to her. If killing every last human outside our family made her smile, made her happy, then I would do this for her. The same went for my dearest daughter and lord. Anything for them. I thought as I shifted my eye's towards the forest just beyond Sesshomaru's fighting. "And I will not harm our ancestor's either, the fox kit seems to be your child, thus family so he will not be harm either...But..." I trailed off, flicking some sutra's out from my sleeve and fanning them out. Startling them while my sister looked apprehensive. "I need to know how it is you got past my seal so I can make sure it can never happen again. Yet, as I have said, I will not harm your group," I threw the sutra's into the forest, feeling them attach to some fairly strong demons that had gotten curious about my lords fighting. With a flare of power I was able to activate them and embed my will into the demons minds. I had found a way to control demons for a bit before my reiki purified them from existence during one of my experiments, it was a pleasant surprise and it took me quite some time for me to figure out my limit's. They could last a good while if I concentrate enough, but they probably won't last longer then twenty-four hours. With a twitch of my finger, the demons that I took control of stumbled out of the forest, startling the group. "However, I never said anything about anyone else. If I remember correctly, there is a village not far from here, is there?" I questioned innocently, tilting my head to the side as Kagome's eye's widened along with the monks in understanding.
"you wouldn't dare!" Miroku challenged, the grip on his staff tightening as he widened his stance.
"You're a miko, aren't you? There's no way you'll actually do anything to a bunch of innocent villager's." Sango said as she also seemed to get into a stance. She didn't seem so sure of what she just said, which was understandable because she hardly knew me.
"Oh? Is that so?" I mused, "You are right of course, I will not do anything to innocent villager's. It will be the demons doing what comes naturally to them, I am merely pointing them in a direction that a village happens to be located in."
Kagome gasped, "Kaname-nee!"
"What?" I asked, blinking owlishly at her. I lifted my hand, chuckling as the group watched it, before waving the demons in the general direction of the village. They roared and cackled with glee, passing behind me to get to their next meal. "I would not to that Miroku, some of those demons have very poisonous blood in them that could widen the hole in your cursed hand." I warned as he jerked in surprise. "Oh come now, I know a curse when I see one, and I saw it fairly well when you grabbed my hand."
"Don't do it!" Sango pleaded.
"Maybe those demons will be dealt with if Kagome answers my question?" I suggested, watching the demons getting farther and farther away from the group.
"THERE WAS NO SEAL WHEN I GOT THERE!" she screamed. I halted the demons, narrowing my eyes at her.
"...What do you mean 'no seal'? I put it there myself before I left, and neither mother nor grandfather could physically remove it." I said, tapping my fingers against my naginata.
"It's just as I said! When I went to see if I could remove it, it wasn't there anymore! Instead there was a burn mark from where I think you may have put it, as if someone had literally set fire to you sutra." she explained, her eye's flickering from the demons to me. She was clearly distressed that I was still going to send them towards the village. "I went back into the house and packed up before going back and jumping down the well."
"And how did you manage to pack with grandfather and mother in the house." I asked suspiciously.
She shrugged, "Mama was suddenly called away, there was an emergency city council meeting, and grandfather was hired to bless a house."
I narrowed my eyes at her, was she lying to me? "What about Souta, he should have been there, he is more then capable to stop you."
"His club was running late, something about his teacher's old student dropping by unexpectedly to show them some advanced techniques."
…
…
That's fucking suspicious. I thought. How could everyone at the house suddenly have something to do away form the house, leaving Kagome unsupervised, on the same day that my seal suddenly get's burned off? Which is ridiculous! My seals can't be damaged by the element's, there's a barrier around them for a reason! It's almost as ridiculous as Inuyasha's sudden holy shield around his vitals that was certainly not there before, it only lasted a few moment's, and...he was lucky...that...Rin...
...Rin...
How did Rin know that we had come back through the well? I thought in shock. She doesn't know how to sense yet, and as much as Jaken loves my lord he doesn't have the ability to sense a demon or anything at all. A-Un can, but we were out of his range, so how could she have possibly known we had come back? ...She arrived just as I was about to kill Inuyasha. I mused, remembering as she burst out of the bush's at a bothersome time, right when that aura had completely disappeared.
"...Kagome...did you sense anything...odd in the well house?" I questioned. She blinked at me, thinking about it before shrugging. Clicking my tongue, I decided I would have to go back and investigate this matter later.
"Ah...Uhm...N-Nee-chan?" Kagome asked, "Can you..." she trailed off, pointing towards the demons. I got her message, nodding my head as I engulfed the demons with reiki, watching them scream as they dissolved into dust. Kagome relaxed once they were gone, letting out a breath, "T-thank you." she mumbled. I hummed, deciding to pay attention to the fighting when a particular loud clash sounded out.
"...that piece of trash seems to have gotten slower since last I saw him." I noted as he sluggishly lifted the Tetsusaiga, his arms seemed to strain as he swung his sword. "he also seems to have become more barbaric when fighting." blood flew as the sword connected, cuts appearing on Inuyasha.
"Oho...Tetsusaiga's become a little heavier, has it?" Sesshomaru noted blandly.
Inuyasha bristled, "It's-It's not just a little bit, you damn jerk!" he retorted.
"'Jerk'? That is a new one." I mumbled as Sesshomaru raised a brow at him.
"Hmph. For a sword that's too much for you..." Sesshomaru started, before he suddenly twisted Tokijin and sent Tetsusaiga from Inuyasha's grasp. "You're better off without it!"
"Tetsusaiga was knocked flying!" Miroku gasped.
"Inuyasha!"
"Yes, well, that is what happens when you can't properly grip a sword." I shrugged, looking at Kagome who stood next to me now that I had gotten my answers. "Take note of this Kagome, this is what happens when you don't have the proper training for a specific weapon." I told her as the fox kit perched onto her shoulder. This is a great opportunity to have her learn some things. I thought.
"Nee-chan this is not the time for your damn lessons!" she argued in disbelief.
"Oh no, it'll be like an adult fighting a child!" the kit- what is his name?- yelled out. I snorted, agreeing with him.
"Da-Dammit..." Inuyasha huffed. Something jumped onto his shoulder, and I had to squint to see what it was.
"Inuyasha-sama! Qu-quickly pick up Tetsusaiga!"
...was that a flea?
"...Is that a flea talking to him?" I questioned my sister.
"Ah, thats Myouga, a flea demon. He use to serve Inuyasha's and Sesshomaru's father." Kagome explained, neither of us taking our eye's off of it. The two started talking in lower voices, thus not allowing me to hear them. Inuyasha said something, looked at the sword, then foolishly got up and ran at Sesshomaru without it.
"DON'T NEED IT!"
"..." the look my lord was sending the half-breed spoke volumes on how idiotic that decision was.
"Kagome, how does it feel to know that your protector is an idiot." I deadpanned. She seemed embarrassed by what I said.
"D-DON'T INUYASHA! THAT'S SEVERELY STUPID OF YOU TO DO!" she yelled out to him.
"You intend to fight Sesshomaru unarmed?!" the kit yelled incredulously.
"DUMBASS!" Kagome yelled, ignoring my 'language!' remark.
"SHUT UP! HOW ABOUT HAVIN' A LITTLE FAITH IN ME!" Inuyasha yelled back, stopping in his run to look at her.
"I'D HAVE MORE FAITH IF YOU PICKED UP THE DAMN SWORD!"
"JEEZ, THANKS FOR THE BOOST OF CONFIDENCE IN MY ABILITY'S! I REALLY FUCKIN' APPRECIATE IT!"
"FUCK YOUR CONFIDENCE IN YOUR ABILITY'S! JUST PICK UP TETSUSAIGA AND FIGHT!"
"You are being fairly stupid in this." Miroku added in. where did that red hand mark come from?
"Your survival would be lifted if you used it." Sango agreed.
"Don't encourage him. Let him fight against my lord unarmed, it would be doing the world a favor once he is gone." I said. I cupped my mouth, "GO FOR HIS FACE FIRST, MY LORD!" I saw a flicker of a smile directed towards me, making my body warm up. "Ah...such a handsome smile." I mumbled.
"YOU UNGRATEFUL LITTLE SHIT! WHAT WAS THE POINT OF ME FIXING THE SWORD IF YOU AREN'T GOING TO USE IT?!" Toutousai yelled, waving his hammer at Inuyasha threateningly.
"WOULD YOU ALL SHUT THE HELL UP?!" Inuyasha yelled, offended that none of his friends seem to be against him right now. He then resumed to run at Sesshomaru, who seemed very bored by now, as he waited. "SUCH A HEAVY SWORD WON'T HELP ME WIN THIS FIGHT AT ALL!"
"No, but it would give you a better chance." I mumbled. I saw my sister hide her face in her hands. I rubbed her back in comfort.
"...Nee-chan? Do you think Inuyasha has a chance at winning?" she asked, her voice muffled by her hands.
"No." I stated bluntly.
Sesshomaru swung his sword down, stopping it so it pointed at Inuyasha. "you don't know your own limits." he stated before a pulse of power came out of the sword, knocking and slicing up Inuyasha back.
"UWA!" he yelped.
"He was blown back by the Kenatsu?!" Sango observed in surprise. Sesshomaru studied Inuyasha, he didn't seem to find what he was looking for.
"So, the hanyou is just a hanyou, huh..." he noted, making me wonder what he meant by that. He shrugged his shoulders slightly, before readying his sword and ran towards Inuyasha, intending to finish him off. "Enough of this, die Inuyasha."
"Nh, well it was nice seeing you Kagome, maybe you can find a more suitable protector after this. One that will not abandon you for a dead priestess." I said as I started walking back towards A-Un, knowing we would leave after this. I decided to let Kagome stay with her group a bit longer, I had to investigate what got rid of my seal first before dragging her back home. I only paused in my step's when Inuyasha's youkai...changed.
Spinning on my heal, I looked towards the hanyou and seeing the same red eye's that Sesshomaru usually has when angered. What in the world...? I thought in wonder, before my view of him was cut off by Toutousai. He spewed out a wall of flames, making Sesshomaru stop and jump back so he wouldn't get burned.
"Toutousai...!" Sesshomaru snarled.
I quickly ran next to him, to see what was happening on the other side as I heard my sister's group yelling about restraining Inuyasha. Kagome yelled out 'SIT!' before a thud was heard along with Inuyasha's pained cry's.
By the time the fire was gone, so were Inuyasha and his pack.
We stayed silent as we stare at where the group had been. I had to wonder at Inuyasha's sudden change in youkai. Half-breed's do not feel like that. I thought, glimpsing at Sesshomaru. He was staring off into space, lost in his thoughts as Toukijin was loosely grasped in his hand. Is that what he meant when he said he wanted to verify something of Inuyasha? I pondered.
"...My lord?" I questioned softly, laying my hand onto his arm to get his attention. He took a few seconds before looking at me. "do you not want to pursue them?"
"...No." he muttered distractedly. His youkai was fluctuating, from confusion, anger, and disappointment.
"Sesshomaru, is something the matter?" I mumbled, noticing that he wasn't putting Toukijin away. "Is there anything I can do?" I asked worriedly, wondering why he seemed so distracted. The anger was simmering inside of him, and that was not good, the last time he got angry he threw caution to the wind and was almost taken from me by that filthy half-breed. I turned my body fully towards him, and lifted my hand to cu his cheek, slowly rubbing my thumb across one of his stripes on his left cheek. His unfocused eye's cleared, meeting my own. I know I shouldn't be touching him without permission, but I couldn't really help it, the urge to try and do something for him was surprisingly strong. "What is it that you wish to do, Sesshomaru?"
He gave a small sigh, his shoulders relaxing the slightest of bit's as I felt his head tilt into my palm. His amber eye's went half-lidded as he observed me, "It is nothing you need concern yourself with at the moment, Kaname." he mumbled. We stayed like that for a moment more, before he lifted his head from my hand and went back to his usual self. "Come, we must return back to the pup before we set off again. I must speak to someone."
Smiling and relieved that he was alright, I nodded in understanding. "Of course, my lord." I said as we mounted A-Un and made the journey back to where we left Rin and Jaken.
"Kaname," he said as we flew. I hummed in acknowledgment, "Do not let vermin touch you so familiarly again." he ordered.
Surprised I thought on his order, before remembering back to Miroku asking me to bear him children. I felt his annoyance when he said that, and I couldn't stop the mile that made itself known as my heart skipped a beat and body warmed at the possessive tone in his voice. Sesshomaru... I thought fondly before leaning my head against his back. "If that is your wish...Sesshomaru."
Omake:
Twilight crossover – Don't really have a pairing, but I know it's not gonna be Edward or Jacob, probably Jasper or Garrett (Maybe even Carlisle?). : Acacia Swan.
...and what are they doing here, I wonder? She thought, eying the group of perfect being's that masqueraded as human's from her seat at the lunch table her younger sister, Isabelle 'Just Bella' Swan sat with her new friends. She saw that the group of 'adopted siblings' (honestly, they all have the same eye and skin color, why would they say that when the chances of adopted siblings having any resemblance to one another was very low?) was given a wide area around them, not seeming to try and repress their predatory aura. They are not doing a very good job at blending in. she snorted. Didn't they know they were just making themselves light up like a beacon of in the dark? She went unconcerned when the group of vampires suddenly looked at her, probably hearing Isabella's question about the group, thus letting them see her intense and knowing gaze upon them.
After all, why should she be concerned? She had lived far longer then anyone on this earth had. She had lived and witnessed civilizations rise and fall, the world's destruction and rebirth, great leader's and history worthy people live and die. Each world was never the same, each were different yet the same.
How?
Well, it seemed at her original world, her earth, the curse seemed to have taken a turn for the worst. Somehow it went from killing her early, to letting her live as long as she could, die, then get reincarnated with all her memories and powers from her original life (and a very select few other lives) intact. She would be reincarnated from one life to another in the current world, living to old age or dying young (Depending if she was bored with that life), from one culture to another, until that world died and all life was wiped out, or the gods decided that she had enough fun in that world and booted her out.
And then it restarted, in a different world from her last, with some people and event's the same with different being's added in (i.e. Vampires, werewolves, demons, angel's, ghouls, etc.).
Or a completely different world, with different races and different continent's, lore, people, god's. Some worlds were books she has read, or Tv shows she's seen, others games and just plain fiction.
The last world she was in also had vampires and werewolves, but they did not sparkle in the sun light, they actually burned like they should have. Granted it all went to hell at one point when some creature tried to take over the world, or- in a different time line of that world- the Nazi's had come back and started decimating England with vampires.
Oh, how she fondly remembered how much fun Alucard had, he was able to undo his full restriction for the first time in ages. She, being a very ancient werewolf, also had her fill of fun and was finally able to secure a mate after so long. One of the last one's in existence if she remembered correctly. A captain Hans Gunsche that would have died if she had not interfered when Siera was about to shove a pure silver tooth into his chest.
Those were some fun night's the two engaged in, as it seemed Hans was very enthusiastic in expanding the pack and making a claim when he had found out she and Alucard had slept together over the years (More out of boredom with nothing to do then actual desire).
They smell sweet. She mused, raising a brow at the frustrated look the brown haired male was sending her and her sister. She wondered if they could smell her lycan genes? And wasn't that a pleasant surprise to find out? Her lycan genes seemed to have been the thing that came with her from that world, just as her ghoul DNA did from her life in Tokyo a few worlds back. Which, sadly, she had to seal away at the end in her last life so it would not be awakened in this life and freak her new parent's out. Along with the fact that no mortal body could last very long if she allowed the different power and mutations to be active at the same time, doesn't matter if she wasn't using it and only using the one gene, it would have to be sealed away (She was fairly put out when her magic didn't transfer over from when she was Garrett Lukas Potter). Ah, I miss Uta, he always had something interesting going on. And he made such great masks. She thought fondly, longing for her tattooed ghoul.
She also missed Arima and Kaneki, they always had such amusing reactions when she walked around naked. Nh? She thought as she noticed the intense look the blonde male was giving her, and when eye's met she felt a jolt go through her. She blinked in confusion as the males eye's widened in shock. What was that? She mused. Could it be...? No, it couldn't be, it wasn't strong enough to be one. She decided. That and it had also felt incomplete.
"Acacia, c'mon, the bell rang." Isabella said, snapping the now named Acacia from her thought's. Giving one last glance towards the table of beautiful beings, before walking out of the cafeteria with her sister.
"...I don't see why I'm even here, I've already graduated High School and Collage with two master's in the medical field and engineering." Acacia grumbled as they walked. Isabella had to agree with her, she didn't really understand their parent's when they enrolled Acacia into school again. Her sister was a prodigy, a genius (Not really, she just had a lot of time to learn practically everything there was to teach), and had opened up her own marital art's studio ("'Storm Arcobaleno Martial Art's Studio'?" " 's in memory of a 'friend' of mine." "You had friends?" "You've never met him of course-" "Him?!" "but I think you may have liked Fon." ) along with writing some best seller books (Under a pen name) and had invented some pretty nifty stuff (Even if she was concerned about some of the things she saw). But their parent's were worried that Acacia needed to mingle with people her own age (to which she had snorted at and mumbled under her breath about no one could ever be her age). So the solution was charlie pulling some favors and enrolling Acacia into school again for the sole purpose of socializing.
"I know, I know, but it was the condition set for you to be able to come with me, instead of with mom and Phil." Isabella pointed out.
Acacia sighed, "As if I would let you out of my sight. It's my job as you elder sister to always watch over you." and with that, they split up to go to different part's of the building for class.
Over the course of a few week's things changed for the two swans, and the elder swan was not at all happy with a vampire seeming a little obsessed with her sister. She didn't say a word about the blonde male, Jasper he had introduced himself, seemingly interested in her. That was mostly due to knowing she could kill these being's and defend herself, but her sister had no training, no power's she could use at the moment (she just didn't know what it was). So, in light of that, she didn't pay much attention towards him. Oh yes, she would talk to him on occasion, her mother- Because Higurashi Emiko will always be her mother- had taught her manner's, thus she didn't out right ignore his existence. His 'twin sister' (That was no fucking twin, not even fraternal. She would know, she has had twin's in a few of her lives) had sneered at her and her sister a couple of times, and on each occasion was met with Acacia showing Rosalie her middle finger.
She warded her home with repellent's against 'vampires' and the supernatural – sans herself- so nothing could get inside without her explicate permission. It was a good thing to, as one night she felt something collide with the barrier where my sister's room was located.
It was Edward Cullen.
I had gone out the front door and looked at him, despite him hiding in the tree line of the forest, and glared.
"Unless you want your pathetic life to end right here, right now, then I suggest you leave my family be vampire." she announced, feeling could his shock from her position, and smirked darkly at him. "Oh yes, I know what you and your coven are, anyone with resistance to your 'dazzle'-" she snorted in amusement and disgust with what they called their natural allure. Oh, Alucard would have eradicated them all just for sparkling. "can see that you lot are no human being. Stay away from Isabella, or I will find you and hunt you down. And don't think I can't hurt you, there are way's for a human to kill you, just ask Carlisle. After all, if memory serves correctly, he and his father were vampire hunter's when he was still human." she chuckled there as she turned around and headed inside. "And isn't that ironic? From the hunter who sought my hand in marriage, to becoming the monster he hunted and swore under the apple tree in the meadow to protect me from."
Needless to say, after that the Cullens were staring at her every time Acacia passed by or was in the same room as them, seeming to debate on what to do. Because the girl didn't seem to care that a coven of vampires were among them, evident when all she did was show them the bird as she flipped her copper hair over her shoulder. When they had tried to talk to her, to get her to come to their home so they could discuss her apparent knowledge of vampires and still be human, she told them 'No' and walked away.
When Alice tried to stop her by grabbing her arm, Acacia retaliated sending a burst of reiki at her, burning her arm and causing her to let Acacia go.
It wasn't until Isabella almost got crushed by a car in the parking lot, sent to the hospital, and was examined by Carlisle himself that they had a chance to talk to her.
"You haven't changed since the day I last saw you." she commented casually, leaning against the wall in the hallway with her arms crossed. Her blue eye's lazily taking in the Cullen 'Children' that stood behind their father. She saw his eye's staring at her, he was rigged and had the question in his eye's.
"I...Do not believe we have met before." he stated slowly, his eyes narrowing in suspicion.
Acacia smiled crookedly at him, "Well, not in this life, no. but I did know you when you were still human, Carlisle." Acacia stated with a cocked eyebrow, rolling her eye's at the look of disbelief and skepticism aimed at her.
"What?" Rosalie scoffed with a sneer. "You're fucking insane!"
"Oh?" she challenged her before looking at the doctor. "The first time I met you was when you were a boy of ten years old, you had been running from your father because he had started to push the subject of vampire hunting onto you again. You ran out your home the first chance you got, you ended up going out of the village and into a meadow located in the middle of the forest. You dropped to your knees in relief and all but hugged the ground, a big stupid grin on your face, and started to snuggle into it. I saw you from my point in the apple tree that was in the middle of it, grabbed an apple and chucked it at you before I said-"
"'I have never seen someone who loved the ground so much as you do, right now.'" Carlisle finished, wide topaz eye's staring in shock. "E-Evergreen?!"
She chuckled, "Nice to see you still remember me. Also nice to find you alive and well, Carly." she stated, before pursing her lips and cocking her head to the side. "Well, not 'Alive' per say, but you should get what I'm saying."
Next she knew, she was engulfed into a comforting hug from an old friend.
"I can't believe you still remember that stupid nickname you gave me." he mumbled.
"Hn, well, it did get you flustered when I said it, so of course I would remember it." she shrugged, before detaching him from herself. "Now if you'll excuse me for a moment, I need to deal with a nosy sister." she chuckled, "I'll come over later this week to answer your questions." she whispered before turning on her heal and facing down the hallway. "ISABELLA MARIE SWAN, WHAT HAVE I SAID ABOUT EAVESDROPPING?!" she bellowed, earning a squeak from around the corner.
She would have to have some words with her about that bad habit.
