Chapter 5: Roaming and Encounters
An: italics meaning thoughts
Ugh. What happened? Oh yeah, I was attacked by that double crossing bitch Kikyou. Stupid bitch.
Slowly I came around. Even sleep could not dull the pain that I felt right then. But the positive side if there was one, was that I was healing and fast. Yet, I had lost so much blood. The ground beneath me seemed to soak it up as if it was its elixir. My veins were burning with the heat of the sun itself.
I got up slowly in which I nearly passed out at the loss of blood. Slowly dragging myself amongst the trees was all I could do to keep my balance. Not knowing where I was going, since I was lost in thought of killing Naraku and Kikyou. I nearly hit the side of a house when I realized I had reached a small village. In this house in front of me was an old woman and her family. Slowly I found my way to the old woman's mind, after weaving myself out of the other's minds. No one would miss her. She was old and senile anyways. Judging also from what I had read, they were tired of taking care of her. They'd mourn for her death like everyone else around them, but deep down in side they would be thrilled of finally being rid of her. Since by some odd irony she was ranting about vampires. Idiots, they might never know how right she was in her old rantings.
The old woman hobbled out slowly after I had given her the command to do so. She was startled when she saw me and had all right to do since I was her executioner.
"Wh.Who are you?" She managed to choke out.
"I'm the one that'll lead you into heaven," I said quietly at a whisper. Slowly I drew her to me and bit within that soft skin that all mortals hold. Soon I was lost within the warm rush of live human blood and its sweet taste.
After what seemed like ages, I felt the old hags' body go stiff and limp. So I just dropped her. After having fed I took my leave of this village and headed west away from Naraku's castle.
I don't know how long I traveled, but it must have been a few miles. But I soon caught scent of a demon, yet.there was what seemed to be the scent of a human as well. I didn't have time to think about it since if felt the wind of an arrow pass before me. Another one soon followed that one and this time it hit its mark, me. I spun around quickly with a feline growl only to see Kikyou. She seemed surprised. I didn't know why nor did I care, since the very sight of her made my blood boil. I quickly pounced upon her, faster than she could react and slammed her against the ground.
"What do you think you're doing Kikyou? We had an agreement or did you forget." I hissed. She seemed scared at the fact of seeing me like this and she had good reason to be so. But answered none the less.
"We did, but you betrayed me. Why did my arrow have no effect on you?" Kikyou choked out. I could sense the other demon had picked up on what was going on, but I didn't care. I put my hand over Kikyou's throat cutting off her air.
"Betrayed you how? Your demon's attacked me and nearly drained me of my power. Yet you have the nerve to say I betrayed you. Don't LIE!!! You're the traitor." I hissed my fangs showing and my eyes becoming cold.
"You THREW the Shards away. Why haven't you answered my second question?"
"I don't know why your pathetic arrow did no harm to me whatsoever, nor do I give a damn. As for the shards they're still with me." I was thrown against the trees bye her Soul-Snatching youkai. I hissed in pain as I saw them gather up Kikyou and take her away. Next thing I knew she sent a bolt of power which threw me against a tree and I found myself looking up at a demon. A demon with silver hair, ice blue eyes and a crescent moon upon his forehead.
"You're not a good being trying to help me out are you?" I asked suspiciously still not willing to trust anyone since Naraku.
"No." He replied flatly.
"Good cause the last fuck that tried to help me turned out to be emotionally and mentally unbalanced."
"Where you fighting a priestess just a while ago, by the name of Kikyou," he asked, showing no emotion as to my present situation.
I got up dusting myself of the dirt that had somehow found its way upon during my fight with Kikyou.
"It depends, are you Inuyasha?" I asked at this moment not feeling the need to acquire another loose end to tie up. The first two were Naraku and Kikyou, the last was that half breed Inuyasha.
"Don't compare me with that lowly half breed Inuyasha. I am Sesshoumaru Lord of The Western Lands." Sesshoumaru replied with vehemence.
