CHAPTER 5
Sesshoumaru's forces
******************************
After dinner, Jess carried Shippo up to his room and tucked him in.
"Good night little brother" she said walking out the door and shutting it behind her.
She was just walking down the hall when she heard shout's from down stair's, wondering what was going she ran to the stairs and looked down where Botan looked like she was looking for some one.
"Hey Botan, what's the matter?" she asked looking down at her spirit friend, who looked up at her with relieved shining in her eye's.
"Oh Jess, I been looking you...Mary reported that a bunch Lord Sesshoumaru's men are heading this way!!" Botan said closing her eyes while she was explaining, but when she opened them Jess was not at the top stairs anymore.
"Botan you and the others stay here and make sure that if any of the demons that get by me, Julia, Kat and Mary don't get to the mansion and Shippo!!" Jess demanded running out of the hall with such speed that Botan could barely see her.
When Jess reached the back door she saw Julia and the others waiting for her, each looking ready for battle.
"Okay girls, this is the plan, Botan, Yukina, Sango, Kagome and Keiko are going to stay back and handle all the ones that get by us.
Oh and remember we go by our nicknames in battle... you do all remember your nicknames do you not?" Jess asked as she looked at them.
"Hai, I'm Shinigami", Julia said.
"Me est Chaos", Mary grinned.
"And I'm Bastes", Kat said.
"Good and you all know my name?" Jess said walking out the door.
"Yes, Pyro!" the other's all said following her outside.
Once they were out they looked over the field behind their home and to the thousands of youkais heading their way.
"Hey Pyro, you need to calm down" Shinigami stated looking at her friend from the corner of her eyes.
"Calm down, why do I need to calm down, I'm fine!!" Jess hissed.
"My friend have you forgot that we all can smell the fear coming off you, we know that your worried for Shippo, but you don't have to worry Sango along with the others will
protect him." Kat said soothingly as she too looked at her life long friend.
"Maybe you're right!" Jess sighed closing her eyes but they snapped open the next minute when she felt the enemy youkai pick their speed.
"They're coming fast get ready girls" she growled, the others nodded and prepared their weapons.
"LETS GO!!" they all shouted as the youkai reached them.
(Jess's Pov)
We charged head on to our foe. The first one I came upon I discovered I didn't even have to use my katana on; it was so weak I killed it with my claws. Boy you would think that as the Lord of the western lands of the Makai, Sesshoumaru would have stronger soldiers, wouldn't ya?
"Hey Pyro do you find these youkai a bit weak" Shinigami called over to me.
"Yeah, maybe he ran out of strong ones!" I replied while we laughed, but there was something wrong with this army, why would Sesshoumaru send weak youkai, when he was known to have one of the most strongest army of all taiyoukais in the Makai.
Then I suddenly felt something string in my side, knocking me out of my thoughts. With wide eyes I brought my hand up to my side were I felt blood, narrowing my eyes I looked up at the youkai that dared to attack me.
And without a second thought I whipped out my katana in one swipe and his head was soon disconnected from his body and on the ground.
"Maybe that will teach all of you never to sneak up on me!!" I growled looking at the others that stopped battling and looked over at me.
Then my eyes went wide for second time that night, because up on the hill stood a weird youkai in the shadow's preparing an attack and aiming it for Kat who had her back turned.
Letting my fear and anger take over me, I sheathed my katana and snapped my fingers in a half circle shape with fire coming from my fingers.
It created a bow out of fired and in a fast motion I snapped my fingers once more behind my back and a fire arrow appeared, narrowing my eyes I stringed the arrow and prepared to fired.
When I knew I had a good shot I fired, the fire arrow whipping through the air to the youkai on the hill. But my eyes widen when he just disappear before the arrow hit him.
"Looking for me?" a voice questioned from behind me, right above my ear.
I felt strong arms wrap around my waist and someone's breath upon my neck.
"You do know you are quiet the beautiful youkai, a silver kitsune, your kind are rare to find these days." the man said in a calm voice that was starting to scare me.
My mind was wishing that the others would look my way and see that I need help.
"Keep wishing young one your friends aren't going to help you", the man said and I suddenly felt his lips on my neck, his fangs grazing skin.
*Oh god please, don't let him mark me, I do NOT want to be his mate...oh Kami please let someone help me!!* I begged to the heavens for someone to come and get this man away from me.
"I said this before kitsune, don't wish for someone to save you!" he murmured whipping me around to face him.
What I saw made me gasp, the man in front of me was one of the most handsome youkais I had ever seen, and trust me I've seen a lot, he had long butt length black hair tied back and was wearing an all black cloak.
"Like what you see?" he asked smirking and for once in my three hundred years of life I am speechless.
His smirked widened when he saw I had nothing to say, "Well I take that as a yes. You do know kitsune, that I had my eye on you for quite sometime and it surprised me when you shot that fire arrow at me!!" He said.
"Well I'm quite flattered that you find me beautiful, but you see I don't even know your name" I stated not really knowing it came out of my mouth.
"My name little one is Lethe and you will be mine!!" Lethe stated picking me up bridle style and taking to the sky.
My real self came back to me and before I knew it I could hear my friends calling out my name.
"PYRO!!"
