The Same Quest

Chapter 2. Fight

Sango was still walking through the forest, it was a warm day, and she kept watching her surroundings, mostly oak tress. She was walking slowly, as if she was really enjoying herself. She knew that she would get to the village a lot faster if she fly on Kirara, but, the truth was, she wanted to get away from the little cat also.

She had the soul of a warrior, and warriors tend to think better when they are alone. She just wanted to think about. . . stuff, nothing in particular. She had changed, a lot, since she met them, and she wanted to know if she was really happy with that change.

She had a bad feeling on her chest, but she thought that it was probably just because of what Miroku did. She was really angry at Miroku, how dare he? How dare he play with the heart of a warrior? She was upset. . .

She stop walking and stare to the sky, she kept watching how the light passed through the top of the trees. Quite beautiful, actually.

(It is normal: Houshi-Sama flirts with a woman, and you stop him Sango, that's it) But it was, as if suddenly she realized how stupid she was acting (Houshi-Sama hasn't really showed more interest in me, not more than to any other woman. . . only when we are in danger. . . maybe he's just trying to make me happy, to leave me a happy memory, if we die) She lower her look, and started to walk again, with a smile on her face (yeah, right, Houshi-Sama, the gentleman he is. . .) She started to laugh.

She kept walking with a smile on her face. . . three days ans she would be on her village. . . She was really relaxed, and happy, warriors really were meant to be alone. . .

(I really needed to get away from them. . . well, I hope you enjoy your free time, Houshi-Sama) She laughed again.

----------------------

"Sesshoumaru-Sama, where are we going" Jaken was restless (Sesshoumaru-Sama talks even less than before, I really don't know what he wants to do). They kept walking, Rin was on Aun, and Jaken was pulling the ropes, Sesshoumaru was walking in front of them.

Sesshoumaru kept sniffing the air around him. . . (where are you?. . . are you playing with me?) "You do not need to know, you just have to follow" Sesshoumaru didn't turn as he answered Jaken.

Rin jumped down from Aun, she embraced Jaken from behind with all her strength. "Jaken-Sama, you should not worry, Sesshoumaru-Sama knows what he's doing" She let go of Jaken, "right, Sesshoumaru-Sama?"

Sesshoumaru didn't answered her.

(I found it. . . it is weak. . . but I found it), and Sesshoumaru went after the smell with all of his possible speed. Rin and Jaken just stared at the white sphere of light in the air as it faded away in the distance.

Rin kept watching, thinking, she knew what Sesshoumaru was after, (he is. . . looking for Kohaku. . .). She jumped on Aun's back "Please, Aun, follow Sesshoumaru-Sama" (I don't want Kohaku to get hurt, and I don't want Sesshoumaru-Sama to be the one to hurt him)

Jaken was able to jump, he grabbed Aun's tail as strong as he could. Rin wasn't paying attention to Jaken, he kept pulling Aun's ropes, he didn't wanted to loose Sesshoumaru, but Aun's speed just wasn't enough.

---------------------

Sango kept walking, then she felt that something wasn't quite right. She felt her senses intensified all of a sudden. She stopped moving, stared at her surroundings, and then decided that a fight was starting and that she needed to get ready. She started to change into her fighting outfit, she decided to use the mask also. She walked and stopped at an open field, (enough place to move around, a good place to fight).

She kept waiting, she was ready. Then she saw something on the sky, a light (That, I have never seen, what is it? It's kind of pretty. . ..). She kept watching the light, looking every movement. Then the light stopped (. . . this is not good. . .). She was able to avoid the light when it landed on the floor, which happened in seconds.

She landed on the floor, looking at the light, she was angry. She watched as the light took the form of Sesshoumaru.

Sango was shocked (That's Sesshoumaru. . . but, what could he want from me? I have nothing to do with those swords of theirs. . . but if he wants to fight me, of course he's fighting me. . . I am not weak just because I am a human) Sango was already standing, but she wasn't moving, she had to analyze every movement of Sesshoumaru. She was waiting for him to attack first.

Sesshoumaru was also analyzing Sango, (why is her smell similar to the one of the boy?. . . no. . . there's something that she has, that is giving out his smell, that drove me off). Sesshoumaru was upset, he didn't like the idea of him making a mistake.

Sango was loosing it (He is also waiting for me to make the first move. . . very well then, we'll do what the great Sesshoumaru-Sama wishes. . . he's not going to intimidate me. . . he's just a youkai anyway). Sango attacked.

"Hiraikotsu!!" Sango threw it directly at Sesshoumaru.

Sesshoumaru didn't even move (stupid woman). . . He used his hand to stop the hiraikotsu, annoyed.

Sango was scared (he stopped it, with one hand. . . he just. . . stopped it. . . is that even possible? The hiraikotsu is my strongest weapon, and he stopped it while moving. . . what else can I use?. . . I should have waited for him to attack first. . .) She didn't move, she was in panic, but was still trying to think what else she could do.

Sesshoumaru stared at the horaikotsu on his hand, now: he could throw the thing at her in return and kill her, or he could dissolve the thing with his acid and then kill the woman with Toukijin, or he could break it and then kill the woman.

But he was curious, he wanted to know why the woman was carrying that boy's scent. Besides he could smell that Aun was getting near, and he was not going to kill a woman in front of Rin.

He threw the Hiraikotsu on the ground.

Sango was a little surprised, (now what? Is he going to attack me using his hands?) Sano was still alert, she was preparing the sword underneath her sleeve.

Sesshoumaru walked to her. "You don't have any more weapons now, do you?" He was using a defiant tone, but there seemed to be no wish to fight on his voice.

"I have many weapons, and they are ready to be used" (I am not afraid of a damn youkai)

"Show me your belongings. . ." (something there, has the smell of that kid, and I want to know why is this woman carrying it)

Sango was surprised, again (and what does that mean?. . . why is he asking that in the middle of the fight?). . . "why do you want to see my things?"

"My fight is not with you, woman, but if you do not obey, I will kill you to see your belongings" Sesshoumaru was at least 20cm away from Sango.

(He has a point, he could kill me if he wanted to. . . why doesn't he? Isn't he suppose to be this heartless youkai. . . since when is 'not killing' one of his worries?. . . maybe the guys were just exaggerating about him) "You will return them, right?"

"I need to see something"

"Fine, but if you dare to do something, I swear that I will. . ."

Sesshoumaru turned to where the Hiraikotsu was lying on the ground.. Sango understood (That's right, he can stop my weapons. . . what is it? What does he want to see?) Sango was starting to feel curious about it.

Sango took out the bag where she carried her things. She was holding it in her hands, Sesshoumaru just stared at the things on her hands, carefully. . . he kept trying to find the thing that had that boy's scent. He found it, after a few seconds.

"Woman, what is this?" he said while holding Kohaku's mask

"Don't touch that!!" Sango took Kohaku's mask from Sesshoumaru, everything else that was on her hands fell on the floor.

(So, she does know the boy, she has to know where he is, maybe this encounter wasn't a total waste of time) Sesshoumaru turned to the sky.

"Sesshoumaru-Sama!!!" Rin's voice echoed on his ear.

20cm would be about a ruler… just to make that clear…

CHiBi FeLiX ". It's just a way of speaking… don't take so literal, it's just like saying "he was too close"… Don't be mad at me, keep reading! XD

Rikou Suiyou¬¬. Thank dude, you just gave a mayor spoiler for those who didn't knew. Yeah, I know, I mentioned it on chapter one. "sango went to the lake… it made her remember…" And I obviously know that Sango and Sesshoumaru are not ending up together… but let me dream

Morelen. Well, Sesshoumaru is searching for Kohaku in the anime, on episode 144 he is looking for him, I'm just using that to my advantage, why is he looking for him? I really don't know ", I'm guessing because he wanted to kill Rin, of because Kohaku can lead him to Naraku. (those are only my guesses). And well, Chapter 3 was very long, about 4 pages. I really don't like long chapters because when I'm translating I get frustated when I see all the pages I'm missing. But hey, shorter chapters, more often updates . Thanks for your review!!!

dd-inuyasha71643 Thanks! (again)… I just realized you reviewed first for chapter two and then for chapter one… XD

Sesshomaru is mine. Ahhh… hugs SiM Sorry because it took me so long to update. Blame my school… still, I hope you keep reading and liking my little story . Thanks!!!
