Chapter 2

Sesshomaru's Demise

Sesshomaru was walking, seeking out Inuyasha, with the intention of finally killing him. Rin and Jaken were following closely behind.

Sesshomaru turned around to speak with Rin. Rin noticed Sesshomaru's left eye. His eyelid was scarred badly; and there was no left eye, just an empty socket, covered up with a slate of skin.

"Oh! What happened Lord Sesshomaru?" Jaken asked. "Were you hurt in battle?"

Sesshomaru turned to Rin.

"Rin, I want you to stay here with Jaken," Sesshomaru told her.

"Oh, but why my lord?" Rin asked.

Sesshomaru didn't answer.

"He said to stay, so stay here!" Jaken said.

"Okay," she gave up.

"I don't want you to come. Stay here," Sesshomaru said.

Sesshomaru began walking again, leaving the two off in the distance.

Suddenly, there was a quick flash of light that passed over Sesshomaru's eyes.

"Hm?"

Makoto had appeared, running at full speed. He stopped and stood before Sesshomaru.

"Sesshomaru, brother."

"Brother?" Sesshomaru said. "You aren't my brother. I told you, you are an abomination. You are the result of an accident with my eye."

Sesshomaru experienced a flashback.

It was a silent, dark night. Sesshomaru had a horrific nightmare of his father killing him, and awoke with a start. His left eye seethed with pain, and he noticed blood was seeping out profusely. He held it, but it only began to bleed more. It leaked, and eventually, bled enough to cause him to be temporarily blind. The pools of blood began to materialize and take shape. Sesshomaru's left eye was now completely drained, the eye itself melting and dripping along with the blood. His eye's remains mixed together with the abundant blood on the ground. The transformation was commencing.

The blood and eye swirled and mixed, shifting and contorting its shape. The liquids were thickening, eventually becoming solid, and a demon was born. The demon's name was Makoto.

"Those nightmares," Sesshomaru thought. "Perhaps they were conjured by father, and he cursed me, removed my left eye, and created a monstrosity of a demon."

"I am not a misfortune of you, dear brother," Makoto said. "I am Makoto, I have existence. You however, do not."

Abruptly, Makoto leapt into the air, and tried to attack Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru predicted it, however, and moved out of the way easily.

"You are blind, Makoto," Sesshomaru said. "Let me end your suffering."

Sesshomaru drew his strength, and slashed Makoto directly across the face with his poison claw. Makoto seemed unaffected.

"I don't need to die, brother," Makoto said.

Makoto leapt away. He stood, staring with his translucent eyes, as though he could actually see and discern Sesshomaru.

"Please let me end this, brother."

Makoto's clear eyes began to create light from them. Sparks flashed, and Makoto's eyes glowed green.

With that, Makoto took a deep breath, inhaling greatly. His green eyes seemed impassive now, however, determined. He finally exhaled, unleashing a powerful gale of pungent stench. The poison air lingered, seeming to hover heavily in the dark atmosphere.

Sesshomaru stared impassively, puzzled by Makoto's actions. His nose eventually, however, took in too much of the noxious air. He began to cough greatly, while trying to cover his mouth with his sleeve.

"This is revenge now, brother," Makoto said.

Sesshomaru could hardly breath. The tainted air filled his lungs and engulfed his body entirely. Soon, Sesshomaru could no longer stand, and fell to the ground. He was near death.

"What is wrong, brother? Are you okay? I feel fine," Makoto said.

Sesshomaru couldn't even hear Makoto's words.

"Let me end this now," Makoto said.

Makoto poised himself, showing his claws, and attacked. He grabbed Sesshomaru by the neck, and slashed him with his claw. The claw tore the flesh easily, as it seemed weak already. Sesshomaru's neck bled copiously, the blood rushing out of the wound. Sesshomaru was on the brink of death.

"I will have revenge," Makoto said.

With that, Makoto powerfully slashed Sesshomaru's chest. Blood spilled out, a deep crimson creek, and Sesshomaru's heart was ejected from his body. Sesshomaru's body fell to the earth, and entrails and bowels were strewn about the ground.

Makoto's green eyes of envy returned to their translucent, colorless state.

"I've had my revenge, brother," he said. "Now that you're dead."
