Hi! I'm kinda sick today so I had time to post. Oh geez! Mr. Atherton is
gonna kill me for not being at cross-country! Oh well, I need a break.
Y'know how when you run for a while the bones in your lower leg start to
hurt from impact? That is what's happening to me, other than a cold anyway.
But that's enough with my blabbering about my problems. On with the story!
Chapter Three
"Demoness!" the pesky little voice came from the base of the cliff, and Satsuki drifted a little faster than she would have liked out of dreamland. She slid out of bed and conjured a knee length kimono of a dirty orange color not unlike Rin wore when Sesshoumaru fist found her. Her hair shortened to just past her shoulders and lost its silver streaks as her eyes became a rusty brown.
She ran out to the balcony and leaned over the edge. A toad demon stood at the bottom of the cliff, kicking at the stone impatiently. Jaken looked up and saw what seemed to be nothing more than a village girl.
"What are you doing girl? I called for the demoness of this castle!" the toad glared at Satsuki.
"What is your business with the demoness Satsuki?" she changed her voice to one of innocence.
"Ask me no questions wench!" Satsuki jumped over the edge of the balcony and slid expertly down the cliff face.
"Tell me of your business or feel the wrath of the Lady of the Eastern Lands." A swirl of blue smoke traveled its way up her body, replacing her grubby features with her normal, graceful appearance. She plucked Jaken up by the collar and held him an inch from her face with an incredibly fearsome look that reminded Jaken of when Sesshoumaru really got angry. Satsuki could hardly bear the little demon's stink. The toad demon eeped and Satsuki smirked.
"Put him down Satsuki-san." Sesshoumaru appeared through the underbrush.
"Gladly." Satsuki threw the toad demon a few meters away.
"You should really take better care of your lands. They are littered with demons." Sesshoumaru gestured at the forest behind him.
"Let's see you manage that when you've been banished to the future."
"In regards to your request." Satsuki looked at the demon lord. "I will not relinquish my claims upon your former servants." Satsuki's gaze turned to a glare and Jaken cringed away from her.
"Really? I am not afraid to fight you y'know." Satsuki looked casually at her claws.
"Oh?" Sesshoumaru gave her no warning before leaping at her. Satsuki was completely ready. She easily evaded his attack and took a piece of the fluff off his tail ((my story, it's a tail!)) with a deft swipe of her claws.
Sesshoumaru spun to see Satsuki playing carelessly with the bit of fur. He would not be ignored, Sesshoumaru growled and lashed out with his claws. Satsuki lazily blocked his blows still toying with the fur with one hand.
"You have gotten slow while I was gone. Last time I saw you, you might have defeated me. I don't have to even pay attention to the, so called, fight now." Satsuki tossed the bit of fluff into the air and shot a small bit of poison at it, disintegrating it within a matter of moments.
Sesshoumaru felt anger rise in his blood lifting the youkai with it. He focused himself on speed and lunged back at Satsuki. She looked at him and saw that he had somewhat regained his old speed, then dodged swiftly out of the way.
"Better. But really Sesshoumaru-san, when I last fought your half-brother, he was fighting better than you are now. The comparison made Sesshoumaru's blood burn. "It is a good thing that I hold no desire for the Western Lands, or you would really have a problem."
The speed and cunning of when he had to fight off all the other demon lords to keep the western lands returned. He staged himself directly infront of Satsuki, causing her to look. He lashed at her with swipe after swipe of claws loaded with deadly poison.
Satsuki smiled and fought back. 'I knew that I could bring the old Sesshoumaru back.' She slipped in a feign strike and caught him in the shoulder with her claws, and a mild poison seeped into his body through the gash. Satsuki quickly pulled her hand away to close the opening that her strike would cause. She flipped away into a tree to let Sesshoumaru distinguish just whether or not she had hit him.
"You forget, cat's eyes slow time. We see more, and are plain faster than you canines." She taunted him to take the battle to the cliff face. Sesshoumaru obliged to her invitation and they sped up the cliff, Satsuki teasing him with playful swipes almost daring him to take on his true form.
Sesshoumaru wisely, did not take the dare. He knew well of her ways with magic. So long as she had a large target, she could rip any being to shreds within a matter of seconds using a single spell. He growled and followed her to the cliff face. Satsuki gripped the stone with delicate soundless claws, gingerly swinging her way up the stone face.
"You men are insufferable. Such antics could easily be avoided if you merely gave me my servants back." Satsuki hung lazily from the cliff.
"Particularly Koran?" Sesshoumaru recalled the name of the servant that Satsuki had once seemed to favor.
"Shut it about Koran!" Satsuki momentarily let her spicy temper get the better of her. "His aura has ceased. Do you think me fool enough not to notice it?" she trembled for a quick instant then the fight almost vanished from her slender form. "I will not fight over my previous subjects. More are easy enough to find. Leave."
Sesshoumaru surprised at her sudden withdrawal from the fight, grabbed her by the neck throat, poison absent from his grip. Satsuki glared at him as he turned her head to look her in the eye. Her hand snapped to his wrist.
"I will not fight you. But if need be, I shall banish you from my cliff." Her voice held annoyance and quickly fading sadness. "Go." Sesshoumaru let her go and Satsuki vanished up to a balcony.
"I'll feel better after ridding my lands of those weaklings." She muttered to herself and Sesshoumaru saw a blue-black figure fly from the balcony and into the trees as he turned to leave.
