CHAPTER 9 AN UNEXPECTED PURCHASE
"Sesshoumaru-sama." Anna said, clearing her throat flamed by the reptile youkai's poison. Sesshoumaru didn't look at her, going on to squeeze Tetsuya's neck with a deadly serious face. "I don't like that anyone would touch what is mine." he said, before send the youkai against the wall with extreme violence, making flying debris everywhere. Tetsuya raised on his feet a little slowly, but with an insolent grin over his face. "My boy, you're really inpatient!- he said, clearing his dresses from the dust- Be sure, this experience will be a blessing for her!" Anna growled and Sesshoumaru's face darkened. "You have insult my hospitality.- Sesshoumaru said, ready to attack with the power of his lethal claws- You have ignored my will, and it is not my habit to pass over such a thing." "Are you sure, Sesshoumaru? Do you want to attack me?- Tetsuya asked, with a laugh- Remember, I was a friend of your father!" "I don't care, sorry.- Sesshoumaru said, with a cynical smile- But you, are you sure about fight me inside this palace?" Tetsuya stood for a moment and Sesshoumaru took advantage attacking him. Tetsuya avoided, but his smile was completely vanished. "Damn!!" he hissed, before jump out the window and run away. Sesshoumaru started to follow him, ignoring Anna's call, who went out in the garden with him. She saw the two youkais chase one the other, jumping from one wall to the other, going to the land outside the Palace's territory. Anna's heart beat at an incredible speed. The youkai girl put an hand over it, trying to calm it down. Sesshoumaru had saved her, he didn't give her to that youkai.ok, he had only saved a property, but the thing didn't offend her much. She asked to herself why Tetsuya had run away in that way, then understood. The barriers! Whoever would attack the Lord of the castle, would be affected by the barrier's power! That two wanted to fight outside the castle! Anna's hands became fists. Sesshoumaru was surely powerful and he didn't ever lost, only his brother was able to defeat him, but that damned was a major youkai more old than him. Sesshoumaru could be in trouble.it was all her fault! Anna bit her lower lip. She known that Sesshoumaru would not like her intrusion in his fight, but she couldn't leave him alone, after he had saved her. Stop with thoughts: she was ready to take the life of Tetsuya. It was time to show her utility to Sesshoumaru. Anna went to Sesshoumaru's rooms, than followed the two, jumping through the walls while the claws grow over her fingers and her pupils take their demonic light. Sesshoumaru was excited by the battle. He had the opportunity to fight another major youkai. This thing galvanized him. He was near to forget the principle cause of the fight; his aims were show his strength and rub out that annoying reptile from Earth's face. Tetsuya look at him with a superior air, putting his hands over his sides. "Guy, think about your actions.- he said, shacking his head- You aren't even armed, and I know that your dad's sword didn't serve to anything." "Your chit-chats don't interest me." Sesshoumaru said, with a cold smile. Tetsuya sighed. "Well.ok. Since you want to die.I'm ready." Becoming serious, the reptile attacked. The two fought terribly, their speed so fast that a normal human could see only two confusing forms. Their abilities were equal, no-one was able to hurt the other. In that instant, Anna jumped from the last wall, landing on the battle area without looking at the astonished sentinels. "Don't touch him!!" she screamed, running to them and drawing her claws. Sesshoumaru felt her presence. He got distracted and turned to her. "Stay out of it! This doesn't concern you!" he exclaimed, looking at her with full demonic eyes. Anna stopped her steps, uncertain, than she cried when Sesshoumaru was hit on his chest by a claw. Three bloody wounds appeared on his chest, but Sesshoumaru attacked with his fluffy tail, clutching Tetsuya and sending him on the ground hardly. Anna reached Sesshoumaru, that seemed not very affected by his wounds. "Sesshoumaru-sama!" she called him, reaching him. "I've said to you don't come, haven't I?" he growled. Anna noticed he was half transformed, but she didn't be intimidated. Instead, she handed to him what she had taken in his rooms. "I've thought it can be an help." she said. Sesshoumaru look at her with surprise, than took Toukijin, the evil sword, from her hands, nodding. Tetsuya raised on his feet, giggling. "I was been tender with you, Sesshoumaru, for respect over your father.- he said- But now I have not impediment! Die with your little witch!" "Don't breath." Sesshoumaru whispered to Anna, understanding the youkai's intentions. In fact, from Tetsuya's body went out a enormous toxic cloud, that spread itself over a big area. Anna was pushed behind by the unexpected violence and immediately the acid assaulted her skin and her eyes, that the youkai girl closed. She couldn't see anything through that green fog, anyway. She heard the muffled screams of the sentinels, while she tried to cover her nose with a sleeve of her dress. She noticed in that moment that Sesshoumaru was no more near her. "Sesshoumaru-sama!" she cried, despairingly. The acid attacked her throat, making her cough, but Anna didn't care. Where was he? Whit her heart beating madly in her chest, Anna advanced blindly in the fog. Tetsuya laughed, inside his acid fog, but only him could hear his voice thanks to the muffling power of his cloud. "Poor dear, five minutes here inside and he'll be dried up dead." he giggled. "But in five minutes I can kill you easily, Tetsuya." said a cold voice in front of him. Sesshoumaru appeared at few centimeters from his nose and a terrible pain exploded in his abdomen. "How.have you find me." he gurgled, looking with empty eyes the sword run through his body while the blood went out from his mouth. "In contrary of you,- Sesshoumaru murmured to his ear- I've a refined sense of smell. I can't be distracted by a simply acid cloud." Said this, Sesshoumaru cut off his head from the neck. Tetsuya's body fell at his feet. "I win.- Sesshoumaru thought, wringing Toukijin's hilt in his hand- I've win a youkai just a bit less powerful than my father." In that moment, the effects of the breathed acid started to make affect. His breath stopped in his throat. He felt something hot run away from his nose. "Blood?" he asked to himself, barely seeing the red over his fingers. He fell on his knees. "Crap, it takes effect on me." he hissed. He was in the middle of the cloud, he couldn't go out.His sight was blind. But.who was? Anna? It was Anna that was approaching him? He had said to that stupid wench to stay out of this! She lifted him from the ground. "I'll take you away from here." He heard her words. Yeah, she was surely that fool. Sesshoumaru felt that Anna was attacked by the acid, too. Her movements were slow. "The important thing is that we can escape from this." he thought. He asked to himself why he had used the plural form, when he fell in the oblivion. When he woke up, it was night. He opened his eyes, understanding he was in his bed. The room smelled of acid and medicine. He made a face, trying to raise up, but failing. It was clear that someone had given an antidote to him, and it had partially paralyze his body. In fact, he couldn't sense his legs. He smiled, satisfied. He had killed a powerful youkai. No-one could put in discussion his position as Lord of Western Lands. His deep breath remembered to him another smell in the room. He turned. At his right, curled in a not very comfortable position, Anna slept. Sesshoumaru corrugated his forehead. Why was the youkai girl there? He thought to call Jaken to order to carry her away, but he had an afterthought. His decision to take her with him had started to give fruits. Anna had taken his sword for him. She had enough intelligence and guts. More of all, she had saved him at the cost of her life. It was always a good thing to have someone ready to give his life for his master's one. He smiled. In the girl's hands was been the bowl where she had poured the antidote. She had taken it also for herself, she was surely been attacked by the acid. She had taken care of her master. Good, their agreement worked perfectly. He went on to look at her, he couldn't move, anyway. Of all Tetsuya's long rigmarole done in his home, only one thing was right, and it was about Anna's beauty. Sesshoumaru noticed it only in that instant. Anna was beautiful. He darkened, looking away. It seemed very strange to him that he hadn't ever notice it. He was able to recognize beauty, but he had ever thought only about the functionality of that girl. "And now that you know it?" he asked to himself, murmuring. "Sesshoumaru." Sesshoumaru turned suddenly, hearing the call. Anna slept still. "Sesshoumaru." she called another time, whispering in her sleep. Sesshoumaru corrugated his forehead. Nobody, in all his life, had called him only by his name, apart his parents and that bastard brother. Everybody revered him as prince of the powerful inu-youkai family, and called him whit the 'sama' after his name. Who didn't do that, died quickly. Sesshoumaru noticed in that moment that his name, simply and clean over Anna's lips, was beautiful. He liked to hear it, he liked to know that she called him in that way when she didn't argue with him with her heard-head. "Why I like it?" asked to the ceiling, that, naturally, didn't reply. He looked at Anna for one moment more. Suddenly, her smell flamed his blood in a strange way. He extended an hand to touch her face.and he noticed that he was near to touch her with his left hand. The hand he hadn't from the time Inuyasha had cut his arm with Tetsusaiga. "What." he said. A full arm was attached from his shoulder. The skin was pale green, but all functioned perfectly. He had a new arm, taken from Tetsuya's body by the inu-youkai's girl who slept near him. Speechless, Sesshoumaru stood, watching Anna's sleep for much time with a satisfied smile over his face.
