Chapter 5: Steel Mission
Naraku stood before a pool of silvery water. Staring back at him were two narrow, blue eyes with red specks in the center. "Ah, Mizu, so you decided to show up after all" Naraku said fondly. The eyes bobbed, nodding. "I have a favor to ask you. I'm looking for two idiots, they are particularly hard to miss, one is a human with black hair, and he travels with an ugly frog. Give them this message: 'If you want to see your human brat alive again, find me the Tetsusaiga and the shards of the Shikon no Tama.' Now, go"
With that, the eerie yet beautiful eyes disappeared from the water.

"Jaken! Stay still damn you!" Sesshomaru shouted as he attempted to pull out the large, triangular stinger from Jaken's back.
"OW! OW! OW!" he squirmed as the stinger was ripped from his back. He whimpered pitifully as Sesshomaru ripped a piece off of the yellow ribbon and handed it to Jaken. The frog tried to tie it around his back, but his arms weren't long enough. He hopped over sideways, hoping he could get it on now, but he hit his foot on a rock and fell at Sesshomaru's feet. Sesshomaru didn't laugh. He didn't even smile. Jaken stood up and slunk off before Sesshomaru grabbed him and tied the ribbon around his back.
"I think yellow's my color, don't you?" Jaken asked. Sesshomaru pulled the ends of the ribbon tight so Jaken couldn't breath, then dropped him.
"Come Jaken" he commanded the demon, who was now squirming to loosen the ribbon. Sesshomaru walked off, and Jaken followed after him. Sesshomaru stopped at a tree and broke off two branches, one small and one longer. He threw one to Jaken, who caught it and looked at it.
"Are we going to play baseball?" he asked stupidly. Sesshomaru ignored him and tied some string to the end of his stick. "I guess not" Jaken said. Sesshomaru would have clobbered him by now, but he was too hungry to. He never knew humans ate so much. Three meals a day. Three! He had known this already, because he always had to find this much food for Rin, but he had never actually been so hungry himself. It was no wonder there wasn't enough food to go around. How can any one expect their to be enough food if ever human in the world wanted to eat so much? He wondered why all humans weren't as fat as an elephant. Jaken watched as Sesshomaru walked over to as small pool of water. Very small. It must have only been about a foot deep. He picked up a rock and tied it to the string.
"Ah! I get it m'lord, we're FISHING!" Jaken said as if it were a giant discovery. Sesshomaru just stared at him. He threw the end of his "pole" into the water. "Lord Sesshomaru…should we be fishing in a puddle…?" he asked. Sesshomaru glared at him. "What I mean is…well…what about the giant demon fish…?" Jaken asked, backing away from the pool. Sesshomaru didn't know what to do.
"Jaken, I don't know if you are very smart, or very stupid. Probably the latter one."
Jaken plopped his makeshift pole into the water and sat down. "I think I like you better as a human." He said as he bobbed his pole in the water. Sesshomaru took his eyes off the water.
"Why should that be?"
"Well, you talk to me more, and you have a bunny rabbit t- right… and well… you look much less gay-"
Sesshomaru grabbed Jaken by the throat. "WHAT-DID-YOU-JUST-SAY??!!" he said through clenched teeth.
"S-sorry m'lord" he choked "I didn't know you wanted to be gay-" Sesshomaru squeezed Jaken harder. "-Looking"
Jaken grabbed Sesshomaru's hand around his throat and tried to loosen it. "L-lord Sesshomaru- Can you let go of my throat-I cant breath!"
Sesshomaru shoved him into the water and held him there, dunking him up and down furiously.
"I-AM-NOT-GAY!" he snarled as he held him out of the water. Jaken flinched.
"O-of course not…" Jaken was choking back a laugh now. Sesshomaru was ready to clobber him, when one of the fishing poles began to steadily bob in the water. Jaken looked over and gasped.
"DEMON FISH!!!!" He jumped out of Sesshomaru's grasp and hid behind him. Sesshomaru glared at him.
"There are no demon fish living in a PUDDLE, Jaken!" He glowered at Jaken as he still hid behind him. Sesshomaru kicked him, more for the gay joke then for hiding behind him like an idiot, and walked over to the pool of water. "See? There is no demon f-" he stopped as he looked into the water and saw two eyes staring back at him. They were a beautiful shade of blue with red specks in the center. As he stared into the eyes, he began to grow lightheaded. The world phased out of focus, and it wasn't until a huge, webbed clawed paw shot out of the water and snatched him up that he realized he had been hypnotized. He grimaced as the creature squeezed him hard around the middle, suffocating him. From the hand, an arm appeared from the water, and an impossibly large creature rose from the small pool of water.
"Lord Sesshomaru!" Jaken squealed. The creature before them was huge, too huge. There was no way some thing that big could come from a puddle. It was a giant demon, with silvery scales covering it's entire body, yet it looked as though it were made entirely from water. It's monstrous head made for an intimidating sight. It had webbed spikes protruding from either side of its head, and a glittering purple jewel in the center of its forehead. Jaken grabbed the staff of heads, and held it, trembling, as he prepared to shoot the demon with a blast of fire. As he did so, his eyes locked with the demon's, and he found himself unable to move. As the creature spoke, it's voice sounded like silvery water ripples. the creature's grip on Sesshomaru loosened.
"I have a message from The Ruler Off all Demons. The Greatest who ever lived" She said Softly, her long, shark like tail swishing behind her. "If you ever want to see the human child they call 'Rin' again, you will find the Steel Cleaving Fang, Tetsusaiga, and return to Naraku with it, as well as the large shard of the Jewel of four souls, which is currently being held by the human woman Kagome. If you fail to produce these items in one week, the human child will be done away with. Permanently. And you will be killed."
"Well, give this message to that bastard" he reached into the ribbon aroung his waist and pulled out the venom wasp's stinger. "Tell him that he is going to die. JUST LIKE YOU!"
He raised the stinger and slammed it into the Demon. She let out a cry of pain and threw it's head back, dropping Sesshomaru. He landed on the ground and tried to get up, still weak from every thing that had happened. Jaken felt himself able to move as the stinger had come in contact, and he ran over to Sesshomaru.
"Lord Sesshomaru! Are you alright?!" The water demon's eyes narrowed, and Jaken looked up to see her glaring right at them.
"Erp! GET UP LORD SESSHOMARU! GET UP!" he shouted.
'Like I'm not trying to?' Sesshomaru thought. He stood and turned to face the giant demon. He could see the poison from the stinger as it ran through her transparent body, running in thick, green lines up the inside of her arm. He was ready to send this demon to the next realm, before he remembered with horror the he was human. He could do nothing but watch as the demon reared back and slammed right into him. No, not into him, right through him. The watery demon went right into his body, giving him another full dose of the venom from the stinger he had hit her with before it rushed through his back and out of his body, sending him flying into a nearby tree. The demon smiled as she looked on at Sesshomaru, rendered completely helpless. She turned her gaze to Jaken.
"You're not even worth killing properly, worm" she snarled. Her voice had changed from a ripple to a wave crashing on the shore of a rocky coast. Jaken backed away as she ripped into him with her surprisingly sharp tail, sending him slamming into Sesshomaru.
"The Tetsusaiga. And the Shikon Jewel. Bring it. Or your little precious human will have a similar fate."
With that, she wafted over to a small raindrop perched on a leaf, and flowed gracefully into it.
