Chapter 3

This chapter will be Inuyara Saroko vs. Sesshomarai! Hopefully, the demon will explain who he is and how he's connected to Inuyasha. Can our heroes beat this new foe? Read on to find out! Tonyf

Inuyara and Saroko jumped to opposite sides, and Sesshomarai's swipe missed both of them. The force from the swipe was powerful enough to slice through Inuyara's sleeve, though. He looked down at his ripped clothing, amazed at how powerful Sesshomarai was. "What the hell is that sword made out of?" Inuyara asked. ( Sesshomarai is fighting them with a sword, in case you couldn't figure it out. Tonyf ) "Not that it's any of your business, but it is made from the fang of a mighty demon. My father gave it to me, actually." Sesshomarai replied coldly. "Your father? Who might that be?" Saroko asked. "The man who gave me life and the Tolkijn is named Sesshomeru." Sesshomarai replied with an evil grin. After hearing this, Inuyara and Saroko just stood still with shock. "You're... my cousin, then?" Inuyara said, dumbfounded. "I thought that you looked and smelled familiar. You're Inuyasha's boy! Killing you will be my crowning achievement, then. You're girlfriend's death will be frosting on the cake." Sesshomarai said evilly, licking his lips in anticipation. "We'll see!" Inuyara yelled, unsheathing the Tetsuiga (a gift from his father) and rushing at Sesshomarai. "Wait, Inuyara! We have to work together!" Saroko yelled out. "Stay back! I don't want you to get hurt. I'll handle this." Inuyara said with a grin as he swung his sword at Sesshomarai.

(Meanwhile, back in the present...)

"Can you sniff him out yet?" Sango asked, quickly becoming impatient. "You've been asking that for the last 20 minutes! I'll tell you when I find the freshest scent!" Inuyasha yelled out angrily. Finally, Inuyasha found what he was looking for. "Here it is. Follow me." Inuyasha said, taking off towards the scent. "Wait up!" Sango yelled, running after him. After a lot of running, they ended up at the well. "Why the hell does the scent end here? The well is permanently closed!" Inuyasha said, confused. "I have no idea. Can you smell Saroko anywhere around here?" Sango asked. "Yeah, her scent ends at the well, too." Inuyasha replied. "Well, maybe they found a way to get through the well. Maybe it's open again!" Sango exclaimed. "No way. It's impossible." Inuyasha said stubbornly. "Well, why don't you check and see?" Sango said, and she shoved Inuyasha down the well. "Whhaattt ttthee hhheeeellllllll.....ommph." Inuyasha yelled. "Maybe not. Sorry about that!" Sango said sweetly, trying to hold back a laugh. "#$#%&##$&!!!!!!" Inuyasha yelled up. "Language, language. You really should watch your mouth." Sango said with a laugh.

(Back in the Feudal Era...)

Sesshomarai dodged the Tetsuiga, and he knocked Inuyara to the ground. "Foolish, foolish. Do you really think you can beat me?" Sesshomarai said tauntingly. The demon was surprised, though, when a large boomerang came flying at him. Even with his amazing speed, Sesshomarai was almost chopped in half. Almost. He managed to get his sword up in time, and he was able to knock the weapon to the ground. "What do you think you're doing, girl? I'm way out of your league." Sesshomarai rasped. "I don't think so!" Saroko yelled, and she charged at him. Her fighting skills were impressive, but they weren't nearly enough. After dodging a few blows, Sesshomarai threw her aside (right through a tree). She slumped to the ground, unconscious. "Bastard!" Inuyara yelled, jumping up quickly and surprising Sesshomarai. He managed to blast the demon right in the face with his fist, and Sesshomarai went flying through a couple trees. He stood up quickly, though, and he had a smile on his face. "So, you'll die fighting. That at least makes this interesting." Sesshomarai said with a grin, wiping a stream of blood from his mouth.

Inuyara didn't even hear Sesshomarai, though. He immediately ran to Saroko's side. "Saroko! Are you okay? Please be okay!" He said frantically, propping her head up on his knee. She slowly opened her eyes, and she flashed Inuyara a weak smile. "Yeah, I'll be okay. I definitely underestimated him, though. Be careful, Inuyara." Saroko said. "Are you sure you're okay?" Inuyara asked, concern flashing in his eyes. Saroko noticed this, and she couldn't help but smile. "This is a touching moment, but it will be your last." Sesshomarai said, standing directly behind them. He held up the Tolkijn, and he swung it towards Inuyara and Saroko. Saroko closed her eyes, and Inuyara tried to shield her with his body. He prepared for the stabbing pain of a sword slicing through him, but Inuyara felt nothing. He slowly opened his eyes, and he was shocked by what he saw. Sesshomarai's sword was being held back... by Sesshomeru!

Inuyara and Saroko were about to meet their fate, but they were saved by.... Sesshomeru? Huh? Sesshy has some explaining to do, and expect it to come in the next chapter. Chapter 4 will be out soon! Please review! Please? Pretty please? Tonyf
