Chapter 16
I'm finally back! It's been quite awhile since I've updated (sorry!!), but I'm here now. Last chapter, we left off with Sesshomeru at Inuyasha's door...Wait a sec, why in the hell is Sesshomeru at Inuyasha's door? You'll have to read to find out.... Tonyf
"Hello, Inuyasha." Sesshomeru said calmly, same expressionless look as always on his face. Inuyasha and co. were too shocked to respond at first, but Inuyasha was the first to snap out of it. "You look different, Sesshomeru. Almost....softer? More warm-hearted?" Inuyasha said, unable to hide the grin on his face. "If you mean that I have begun to resemble how you've been for almost 20 years, than yes, I guess I have changed." Sesshomeru replied, causing Inuyasha to turn red and look away. "How in the world did you get here, Sesshomeru? I thought you were in the Feudal Era?" Kagome asked, curiousity overcoming the 'evil eye' that Inuyasha was giving her. "I came here with the assistance of this jewel shard." Sesshomeru answered, holding up the purple shard for all to see. "How did you get that? Did you steal it from Inuyara and Saroko?" Inuyasha asked. "No, I killed one of Kiaku's henchmen to get the shard." Sesshomeru replied. "What the hell are you talking about? Kiaku has been gone for years....Kagome and I defeated him a long time ago." Inuyasha yelled. "Kiaku is very much alive, and he only wants one thing...revenge." Sesshomeru said, causing Kagome to gasp. "He wants revenge? Does that mean....he'll try to kill Inuyara and Saroko?" Kagome asked, fear washing over her. "Kiaku has already attempted to take their lives. He has half of the jewel, and he has broken it into small shards. Kiaku is making an army of powerful demons, and he plans on sending them after Inuyara and Saroko." Sesshomeru replied. "We need to go help them!!" Inuyasha said, getting ready to fly out the door. "No, Inuyasha." Sesshomeru said, grabbing his sleeve. "What do you mean, "no"? Kiaku is trying to kill Inuyara and Saroko! They need help!" Inuyasha yelled. "My son has joined them. The three of them are working together, and hopefully that'll be enough to stop that monster." Sesshomeru said, glaring at his impatient brother.
(Meanwhile, back in the Feudal Era....)
"Come on, Inuyara!!! We've been training for HOURS!!! Why don't we just take a break?" Saroko whined, her entire body aching from all of the exertion. "Stop your incessant whining, wench. I saved your life earlier, and the least you could do is spare me from having to hear your whining." Sesshomarai said as he sparred with Inuyara. "I'm not whining!!! I'm sorry I'm not a half-demon like the two of you, and I don't have as much endurance." Saroko said, finding new energy as she stalked towards Sesshomarai. The half-demon's eyes widened as the girl approached him; Inuyara, meanwhile, couldn't hold back a grin as he stepped back towards a nearby tree. Saroko got right in Sesshomarai's face, and she held up her boomerang menacingly. Sesshomarai cowered at this, holding his arms over his head as he awaited her oncoming attack. (Sesshomarai isn't normally the 'cowering' type, but he (as well as Inuyara) is a bit scared of Saroko) Instead of feeling a sharp pain on his head, though, Sesshomarai felt something slip around his neck. "What the hell???" He said, looking at the strange necklace Saroko had slipped over his neck. Inuyara burst into laughter, holding his stomach as he fell to the ground. "What is so funny, idiot? Your girlfriend gave me a necklace; maybe that means she has a crush on me instead of you." Sesshomarai said, trying to figure out why in the world the girl had put this thing on him. "Nope, that's not it...." Inuyara managed to blurt out between chuckles. "Well, what then?" Sesshomarai said, becoming annoyed. He ran over towards Inuyara, determined to make him stop laughing. "SIT, BOY!!!!" Saroko yelled out. Sesshomarai was shocked as gravity suddenly turned against him and he slammed into the ground, face first. "What the was that, wench???" Sesshomarai yelled, managing to pull his head out of the grass. "It's your new collar. Now when you act up, you'll be punished accordingly." Saroko said with a grin that Inuyara SWORE was evil (and sexy). "Thanks for the necklace, Kagome. You said it might come in handy some day!" Saroko thought to herself as she watched the embarassed and pissed Sesshomarai slowly pull himself off the ground.
(Back in Modern Times....)
"Did you come here just to tell us about Kiaku?" Kagome asked Sesshomeru. "No, actually I came here for another reason. I came here because all of you are in grave danger." Sesshomeru replied. "HUH????" Everyone said in unison. "What do you mean that WE are in danger? What's going to happen to us?" Inuyasha asked. "Kiaku wants revenge against all who have wronged him. He is concentrating the majority of his energy on destroying Inuyara and Saroko, because he sees them as the biggest challenges to him. He wants you and everyone close to you dead too, though, Inuyasha." Sesshomeru said. "Kiaku is in the Feudal Era, right? How could he be a threat to us, then?" Miroku asked, finally deciding to speak up. "He is a threat to all of you because he is sending a large amount of demons with jewel shards through the well, with their only purposes wreaking havoc and destroying the four of you." Sesshomeru replied. "Well, that's great!! It's been a long time since I've had a good fight. Kicking some demon ass will feel great!!" Inuyasha said with a grin, cracking his knuckles. "Idiot brother. Honestly, don't you ever think? He's sending an army of demons to this era!!! It won't be an easy battle; in fact, I'm not sure if the four of you have any chance of winning, with your age and how long it's been since you've battled." Sesshomeru said, rolling his eyes at his over-confident brother. "Thanks for the vote of confidence, Sesshomeru." Inuyasha growled, giving Sesshomeru a death-glare. "Well, that's why I came here, is to help the four of you defeat those demons. Surely you could use my help if you want any chance of winning." Sesshomeru said, shrugging off the icy glare his brother was casting his way. Kagome could sense that Inuyasha was about to protest, so she quickly clamped her hand over his mouth. "Yes, we'd appreciate it very much if you could help us out. Thank you very much, Sesshomeru." Kagome said, still holding Inuyasha's mouth. "You're welcome, Kagome. How did you manage to get such a polite and kind woman, Inuyasha? She must have vision problems..." Sesshomeru said with a grin, causing Inuyasha to turn red with anger. "Is that steam coming out of his ears??" Miroku whispered to Sango, who stared at the scene with wide eyes.
Oh, man.....Will Inuyasha and Sesshomeru be able to work together without Inuyasha blowing his top???.....And how about Sesshomarai's new "fashion accessory"? Oh, man....The necklace that Kagome once used to keep Inuyasha in check now has a new home - on the neck of Sesshomeru's son.....Well, it should be very interesting to see how the characters in both eras are able to co-exist.....I'll try to get another chapter up sooner, this time....I promise!!!! Please review!!!! Tonyf
