The Student of the Battousai: Sesshomaru Return
Chapter 6
Inuyasha dodged a fast downward strike from his older brother, and attacked with a fast stab. Sesshomaru quickly flipped over him, and kicked him in the back of his head, knocking him to the ground. The younger brother quickly rolled as Sesshomaru came down with a fast strike. Inuyasha jumped to his feet, and quickly jumped back.
"I see, this is what your true strength is," Sesshomaru said. Inuyasha just smirked.
"This is just the beginning I'm just warming up." Sesshomaru scoffed.
"Please. This battle has been going on for quite some time now. And it is little late to warm up. Admit it, you know you're going to die."
"Maybe I will. But I swear I'm gonna take you with me!" Inuyasha shouted and attacked with a horizontal slash. Sesshomaru quickly jumped back, and pushed forward as soon as he felt the dirt under him. Inuyasha back flipped away from his brother as he came closer. As he flipped backwards his leg suddenly sank in mud, and the younger brother lost his balance and fell on his side.
"Amateur," Sesshomaru said, and went for the kill. Inuyasha quickly side kicked his brother, and roundhouse kicked him across his face. As Sesshomaru stumbled, Inuyasha came in with a series of swift attacks, but Sesshomaru dodged them ease. Inuyasha tried a quick slash to his neck, but Sesshomaru held up his sword and blocked it.
'Damn!' Inuyasha growled.
"Didn't Totosai teach you anything?" his older brother asked, and jabbed his face. Inuyasha stumbled for a second, but managed to block a veridical slash.
"Yes he did. He taught me to never be afraid of my opponents. He said to never let my fears hold me back!" Inuyasha shot back, and kneed Sesshomaru in his stomach. The older brother doubled back, and Inuyasha charged in with a fast thrust. Sesshomaru parried, and jabbed his brother's face. Inuyasha growled, and charged in. Sliver flashed all around the forest as the two brothers battled in the rain. Inuyasha did his best to try and keep up with his brother's movements, but he was just too fast to keep up all his attacks. But the harder Inuyasha fought the more this strange feeling inside of him started to grow. Sesshomaru blocked his brother's horizontal attack, and front kicked him into a tree.
"Inuyasha you disappoint me. I still feel that you are holding back," Sesshomaru said. Inuyasha just scoffed.
"Well get ready for a little change. Cause this time I'm not holding an inch of what I can do. Now take this you bastard!!" Inuyasha yelled, and rushed forward. Sesshomaru prepared himself for another round of frontal assaults, but Inuyasha suddenly flipped over him, and slashed him about twelve times in his back. The older brother fell to a knee, and looked at his brother.
"What was that?" he asked. Inuyasha smirked.
"Just a little trick Myouga taught me."
"Myouga that old fool?"
"He might be old, but he was full of speedy tricks."
"It was a nice surprise, but don't think for a second that you can win this fight with that one trick, because I have techniques just like that," Sesshomaru replied with a smirk on his face.
'This can't be good,' Inuyasha thought as Sesshomaru rose.
******
Kenshin meanwhile was finally back on his feet, and struggling to find his apprentice. Sesshomaru's poison was slowly wearing off, but he still felt it with every move he took.
'I must hurry that I must,' Kenshin thought as he slowly made his way to where he heard clanging. 'Inuyasha maybe good, but he cannot last long against Sesshomaru. Who knows what deadly techniques he'll use.' Kenshin tried taking another step, but he could stand for the unimaginable pain that shot through his body. The sword master fell to his knees panting.
"Can't give up, that I can't. I must help Inuyasha," he said to himself, and used his sword to help him up. As he stood he thought he saw something zip through the trees. He saw it again, and one last time before it disappeared.
'What was that?' he thought. Then he heard a loud groan in pain. 'No time. I must get to Inuyasha.'
******
Inuyasha suffered two more slashes at god-like speed from his brother. He stepped back, and removed his gi top.
"If you think two fast slashes are gonna help you win this then you're wrong," Inuyasha growled. Sesshomaru just smirked.
"Then it looks like I'll have to use more than two."
"What do you mean by that?"
"Just watch and learn my brother," Sesshomaru said simply. Inuyasha growled.
'Just what the hell is he planning on doing?'
"Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu: Ryu Son Sen!" Sesshomaru suddenly charged towards Inuyasha. The younger brother prepared for a fast strike, but Sesshomaru jumped over him. When Inuyasha turned around, Sesshomaru started to slash him multiple times. The attacks were swift, and very hard to catch if you were watching, but Inuyasha could feel them so well. Sesshomaru finished his attack with a final slash at his chest. Inuyasha fell flat on his back with blood coming out of most of his upper body. He tried his best to cover up the wounds, but there were too many, and too long. More poison was inserted into Inuyasha now because of all the slashes, but the young swordsman refused to be defeated.
"I'm not giving up Sesshomaru, you bastard," Inuyasha panted, and with all his strength struggled to get up.
"I'm surprised. None have gotten up from that attack, and not only that, but you were able to withstand the poison, impressive brother."
"Save it," Inuyasha growled. He suddenly felt weak, and dizzy. He was barely balanced as he stood; he felt like he was back on the boat, and it was rocking side to side.
"Feeling the blood loss?" Sesshomaru asked. Inuyasha found the strength to reply.
"What do you mean?"
"Those who receive an attack from Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu, slowly die of blood loss. My guess is you only have a few short minutes to live before you die of blood loss." Inuyasha surprisingly started to laugh.
"A few minutes. That's all I need to defeat you Sesshomaru."
'I can feel his ki raising. But how can this be? Totosai never teaches his students how to raise ki. How can he know?' Sesshomaru thought. Inuyasha suddenly charged with speed his brother had never seen before. The younger brother attacked with a swift downward strike, but his brother jumped back just barely missing the attack. Inuyasha charged in again, only this time with extremely fast strikes. Sesshomaru could barely block all of them. Inuyasha managed to land ten out the twenty swings he attacked with. The two brothers jumped back.
'This'll be over in no time,' Inuyasha thought with a smirk. Suddenly though, he felt dizzy again. This time his vision wasn't just blurry, the whole forest seemed like it was spinning. He couldn't even stay focused on Sesshomaru anymore. He was slowly losing his grip on his sword, and he fell to a knee panting, and trying to shake it off. Sesshomaru meanwhile had problems of his own.
'How did he get so fast?' he thought as he looked over his wounds. The assassin took off his top robes, and threw them aside. Sesshomaru was starting to feel dizzy as well. Both brothers were weak, and tired. The older one fell to a knee also, looking at his struggling brother.
'I must end this now, while he's weakened.' Sesshomaru slowly rose. Inuyasha tried to look at him, but all he saw was spinning green with some white heading straight for him.
'I can't lose. I won't lose,' he thought. 'All those people, those kids. He killed them. He killed them all without a single thought. And I'll make sure he pays. He'll pay for everyone he's killed!!!" Inuyasha yelled as loud as he could and felt a sudden surge of power shoot through his body. He used it to jump to his feet, and charged. The brothers planed on putting all their power into one last thrust. As they charged they pulled their swords back ready for one last attack. Their sword shot forward at each other, and soon all was silent. The only true sound that could be heard was the rain. The brothers looked at each other both with shock in their eyes. They had stabbed each other in their stomachs. Blood mixed with the mud, and puddles as they stepped back. Inuyasha dropped his sword, and fell on his stomach with blood coming out from his sides. Sesshomaru fell to his knees.
"Inuyasha!" Kenshin called when got there. His pupil was down with blood coming out so fast he would die soon of blood loss.
'I must finish this,' Sesshomaru thought, and forced himself to get up. Kenshin looked at Sesshomaru.
"Sesshomaru stop, this fight is over. Inuyasha cannot defend himself, that he can't."
"I don't care. I will finish this now," Sesshomaru replied. Kenshin got up, and drew his sword.
"If you refuse to stop, then I must do it, that I must." Sesshomaru smirked.
"Brave of you master, but do expect to win against me with poison running through you?"
"And do you expect to fight with all those wounds you have?"
"These are minor wounds. The little whelp got lucky."
"I give you one last chance. End this Sesshomaru."
"I will not."
"Then I will have to stop myself then, that I will."
"Come." Kenshin grunted, and got in a stance, and waited for an attack. "Well if you aren't going to attack, I will." Sesshomaru charged with speed only Kenshin could keep up with. The former Battousai flipped over his former pupil, and counter attacked with a strike to one of his wounds. Sesshomaru growled like an injured wolf, and back kicked his master.
"Maybe you are weaker than you think," Kenshin said calmly.
"Maybe I am, but let's see if even you can stand up to this." Kenshin got in a defensive stance and waited for whatever it was he was planning. "Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu: Dou Rou Sen!" The wave of pure energy shot towards him.
"Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu: Dou Rou Sen!" Kenshin shot the wave as well, and they collided with each other. But unfortunately Kenshin was still weak from the poison, so his blast was defeated, and Sesshomaru's collided with him. Kenshin was blasted through three trees, and landed with blood coming down the back of his head, his right arm, and his chest. Sesshomaru chuckled as he walked towards him.
"Hmm, my employer will be pleased. Not only did I defeat you, but I also defeated my own brother. I will be proud of these kills." Kenshin grunted, but he was just too injured. He looked at Inuyasha who was still out. This was it; they were both going to die.
(I was going to end it here, but I'm in a good mood today. So I won't make you guys wait two months for the next part. I hope you're happy.)
Kenshin suddenly heard a swish, then a groan. When he looked at Sesshomaru he had what looked like a throwing star in his back. The assassin growled, and looked around. Suddenly something came up from behind him, and slashed him to the ground. Kenshin saw an extremely little man behind him. He was about as high as his ankle. The little man also had a ninja costume. Sesshomaru growled.
"Who is that guy?" Kenshin wondered.
AN: Good question. Who is that guy? Is he friend or a foe? Why is he so short? Is he some kind of ninja? Is Inuyasha going to survive? Will Sesshomaru surrender? Or will he keep on fighting despite his injures? The answer to these questions, and other questions in the next chapter of Student of the Battousai: Sesshomaru's Return. SEE YA!!!!
