INUYASHA... HIDDEN EMOTIONS / A NIGHT WITH SESSHOUMARU...
By, An Unwanted Soul
(( BOO!! Ha! I told you I'd be back. You cannot get rid of me for to long after all. Sorry about the wait in updating, this has been the first time I have had to really just sit down and right. Luckily, I think today may just be a grand one to write, so I might work on some other fictions to, but for now, I just intend to update the ones I have done so far. Now... Can anyone tell me who I plan to put into this story? Remember, Inuyasha has quite the cast, but I'll give you a hint... The character I am interested in is a lot like Sesshoumaru!! I bet your all gasping... No? Keh... We'll work on it then. Like I said, if you can guess who it is I'll dedicate more time to this story to get us to that part. Now in this chapter we will have a fight. Hopefully I won't disappoint –but as it will be Sesshoumaru fighting it is pretty safe to say it shouldn't take long... I wonder how I can work in a first person view... All right, enough talk. Thank you to everyone who has left a review and to everyone else who may have just come across this story. This chapter will be Sesshoumaru only –I think. After all... This is a story about him. Shall we begin? Oh and one more thing? To my lovely Lady Himura? You do me a great honor. And to ALYI? I do believe the shrine is in Inuyasha's eyes, but then again, explain to me how Sesshoumaru got out. If you remember, on the show he was defeated and thrown down to the left side of their fathers shrine, then Inuyasha and Kagome left, as his eye returned to him. I am just taking a little creative spin on things and saying the portal itself is still in the air near the shrine, where it was opened. Now without further ado...))
Warning... this story is a work in progress so errors will be made and it may be raunchy later on or even in this one. Please be gentle except for those mentioned above. This came from daydreams, ideas, other works from people and my own twisted imagination so tread carefully. Now for the warnings.
flames are accepted but to flame you should really read the whole story. If you don't like it you should stop, and if you don't read the story all the way through you really have no right to flame. And if you do read the whole story you can flame but what kind of moron reads a story they don't like? Yeah I know mind tricks, they are so much fun aren't they my little victims?
Try and be nice with flames? This is my first time so I don't know all the terms to let people know I made it up. I think 'au' means alternate universe and I guess this story is kind of like that even though it isn't that big of a stretch to see it happen in one of the episodes if you think about it...
And the last warning... if I make any mistakes please tell me what mistakes that I made. we may or may not know each other but I want to become really good at this and for that I need support whether it puts me down or strokes my ego. And for all you nc-17 readers- not that kind of a stroke, you sickos! Hahaha. Just kidding.
About the sicko part that is.
Thank you all for reading that... Again.
INUYASHA... HIDDEN EMOTIONS / A NIGHT WITH SESSHOUMARU...
Chapter three: Something observed... Something returned...
::Sesshoumaru sat calmly on the skeletal bone bird demon that was carrying him to his fathers shrine. He could make out the head belonging to his father –in his natural form. He stood as the bird began to veer away and leapt off and up into the air. The sounds of countless bird bone demons could be heard –hoarse scraping sounds, and crow like 'caws'- all around him. He found it a little agitating. Looking down to the coarse land beneath him he pushed off of the currents of air –as if they were as solid as the ground itself- and streamed down through the air. Ghost like trails of himself followed until they dissipated behind him, as he took his footing on the ground, and stood::
The time I spent here before-- he thought.
::His thoughts included memories of being cast down into a pit near his fathers shrine by his brothers sword –along with losing his left arm/leg::
--Proved to be useful after all, as I now know the most direct path to take, and do not require the aid of those foul 'birds'.
::Sesshoumaru could not stand the scent the demon bone birds gave off. Being able to walk suited him just fine. He drew nearer to his goal –the skeleton of his father- and idly wondered how he attained such tremendous stature. Looking to a cliff nearby, he leapt up again, landing on the ragged surface, branches and pebbles near him and under him, his hair cascading down around his shoulders as his eyes narrowed finding the next suitable spot to land upon, as he leapt up again. After a few moments he fell calmly through the air, turning around to face his father shrine –still a good distance from him::
(( Just think about the ending for season two –I think it was, not that this story takes place then, as he has Tokijin. ))
"Father..." his voice, calm and withdrawn.
::He moved forward, surveying the land and the tomb. He would not deny that his father was strong. Remembering when –in his own truest form- his poison ripped through the insides of his fathers body, and yet here, it still stood as if nothing had happened. It was remarkable. He could feel the demon bird bones gathering not to far –or to near- him. No doubt they were there not only to provide passage but also to guard against intruders. Sesshoumaru was however, unconcerned by them. He looked up into his fathers jaw now –from another small cliff closer to the tomb- with interest, towards the broken fang::
"The source of –our- inheritance." He said.
::He turned his back on his fathers skeleton, looking around. He stood upon the area where he did battle with his brother. He walked for long moments looking over the ground, where they fought. Memories –mostly bittersweet- as he remembered how his brother unlocked the secret to revealing the swords true form. He looked over his shoulder, to his father's broken fang. He was curious as to whether it was his father, or the sword alone who could use the wind scar –and the more powerful technique, the backlash wave. He concluded that the sword alone must have had such powers less the demon mask dragon Ryoukoutsuei, would have never injured the great 'King of Dogs' that had been his living father. He turned around again, still walking. In the distance he could see where it had happened. The very spot –still red- from where he had lost his left arm::
I have had enough looking around.
::He turned to face his fathers shrine again. His hair streaming around behind him, his tail's fur rippling in the wind::
Now we shall if my inheritance has any worth. Though, it would appear there is something else I must first tend to...
::He could smell the foul scent of demon bird bones reforming in the air above them. Several had gathered and flew over him in a steady circle, while others slammed into each other, breaking apart in the air, but never falling, as they connected to each other like pieces of a puzzle. He laid his hand on the Tokijin, removing it from his waistband and readying it for the fight at hand::
Maybe they are not as useless as I thought them to be.
::Bones snapped into place. And soon, two huge pits –no bigger than the size of Sesshoumaru's paws- glared down at the Inu TaiYoukai. The foul bone demon's empty eye sockets were only a prelude to its size, as countless demons streamed into each other near its growing skull. Sesshoumaru watched calmly as a sharp three part beak began to form. Soon the body itself began to take shape –reminiscent perhaps of a four winged dove, whose tail was made of –five- long snakelike bones. The rib cage curled into itself –making it much flatter than what looked to be natural. The wings looked more like awkward claws while the demon's tail seemed to curl down as if to rake through the wind. At last the beast let loose a sound akin to shattering tree's and crumbling mountains, as more of the smaller bird bone demon's flew into its rib cage, as if imprisoned. The empty eyes turned on Sesshoumaru, who watched curiously. With another shrieking call the bird sped down towards Sesshoumaru::
(( Now is a time when I wish I could draw. All right the rest of –or rather- the –actual- fight will be done in Italics. I hope that is not a problem? If it is, then in your reviews let me know and I will edit it for you. I think I understand what I want to do, but still, I want to be sure all of you like it. ))
Sesshoumaru leapt up into the air as the wicked beast of bones came down, Tokijin drawn, his eyes devoid of any emotion, cold and calm –as they usually were when he was in a fight. The demon's three part mouth opened as several bird demon beaks –all cawing- ripped out towards Sesshoumaru's body. His eyes narrowed, as it now made sense as to why they had flown into the beasts ribs.
They not only make this creatures body, but are its weapons. Most interesting father. Are these perhaps the guardians of your tomb?
Sesshoumaru's tail fluffed up slightly as he caught the wind to slow himself, then pushed off of a current of the air. His body was hurled to the side as the bone bird beaks crashed into the ground where he had been standing before he had leapt up to engage the foul creature. Its scent was sickening –it reeked of bleached bones and decay. Sesshoumaru was intent on ending this fight as soon as possible –if for nothing else than to spare himself the scent of this creature. He caught the blade in his right hand –having flipped it around so he could use the swords blade as a brace –where the blade was now guarding his arm, while his wrist was bent- as well as to launch a wave of its power. He pulled the blade forth –as he had done when he fought Inuyasha in his transformed state- and watched as a large blue arc ripped through the air, manipulating the currents of the wind and creating a tremendous pressure. The wave caught the demon beasts left lower wing. The claw like appendage fell as its three part beak opened allowing it to let out a shriek of pain. Sesshoumaru pushed off another current of the wind and fell gracefully to the ground, flipping the blade around again, and extending his arm –pointing to blade towards the demon beast.
"You, are in my way." His voice was cold.
The bird demon beats flew up in an awkward fashion –now lacking one of its four wings- and crashed into the jaw of Sesshoumaru's father. A tip of one of his fangs now lay within the demon beasts wings. It shrieked again as –after it turned around- it noticed blue edges launched towards it from the tip of Sesshoumaru's blade. Its beak opened as countless beaked skulls flew into and against the blue edged beams of energy. Sesshoumaru watched as the edges ripped through the skulls, even so they were to weak to do much more than scratch the demon beasts bone body, while the shards of the shredded beak skulls now flew through the air towards him –threatening to rip him to shreds. He pushed up off the ground lightly, as the ground was laid to a tattered ruin before him. As he rose into the air, he noticed –first by scent then by sight- as more of the demon bird bones flew through the air toward the demon beasts rib cage.
I see they are nearly limitless. As long as it has a way to regain its current form it will not be easily defeated. I'll end it now.
The foul smelling demon bird bones flew around him, as he began to fall through the air. As he did so, he returned the Tokijin to his waist band, extending his right arm, and catching the single leg of one of the demon bone birds. It carried him towards the demon beasts inner rib cage. Pulling his body forward, the bone bird he had used to get so close was thrown through the air away from him (( Think Frisbee )) as he held up both his index and middle finger, a green mist coating the air around him. Kicking off the currents of the air again, he spun his body around as a thick green ribbon of poison spiraled around his body. Closing his eyes and ignoring his nose, he used the momentum to allow his body to be carried inside the beasts rib cage. The ribbon spiraled as the demon beast shrieked once again. His poisoned claws eating away at the demon beasts insides –as they had done to his fathers. However, the demon beast was in no way as strong or sturdy as the body of his father and so it began to cave in on itself –as Sesshoumaru ripped out of it from the other side. He looked over his shoulder as the demon beast began to fall apart. He had no intention of allowing it time to restore its body, and so removing the Tokijin from the waistband –as he fell- once more he slashed it in the direction of the falling demon. Arcs of blue energy ripped through the air smashing into the falling remnants of the beast, which let out one more –feeble- screech as its body was reduced to bone fragments and dust. Sesshoumaru's blade ceased its pulsing as he began to fall gracefully though the air. He placed the Tokijin once again, within his waist band –completely- as he touched the ground.
::Sesshoumaru stood straight as walked calmly towards –and passed- the remnants of the demon beast. He had been delayed from his goal, but not distracted. His gaze fell upon a soft white bone, as he removed his sword –the tenseiga- from his waistband. Unsheathing it his cold gaze caught sight of the messengers from the underworld, still struggling with removing the last vestiges of life from the bone. Time seemed to freeze as they turned around and looked up at Sesshoumaru, who brought the sword down upon them. His eyes narrowed gently as he watched them fall to ash::
"Hm." He said quietly to himself.
At the shrine with Janken and Rin
That girl is not much more than a statue when Lord Sesshoumaru is not present. It is most unnerving, how she sits there, completely oblivious to anything. Humans... Thought Janken as he looked over at Rin, once again to make sure she was there.
::Janken, Rin, and Ah-Un, had all been waiting for quite a while now. Sesshoumaru had left Janken to keep the passageway open, and surely enough Janken had succeeded. Ah-Un ate what was given to him from the satchel on his right side –after Rin had gotten it for them. Rin had been sitting quietly, doing her best not blink. Janken had been walking in circles wondering about what his Lord Sesshoumaru could be doing, walking back to the portal periodically to ensure it had stayed open::
Perhaps the Lord is going to use the Tenseiga to revive one of his father fangs, and thus have the material he needs to make that old fool Totosai make him a new sword! I suppose that must be it. Janken thought proudly, congratulating himself on figuring it out.
::Rin jumped up, startling Janken as Sesshoumaru stepped out from the portal. Janken rushed over to his lord, completely ignoring the gasping Rin::
"Me Lord! I am so glad to see you are all right!!" Cried out Janken, before noticing the scent of bones on his Master.
"Did all go as planned?" He asked curiously.
::Sesshoumaru regarded Janken with a cold stare before looking to Rin, who seemed completely startled::
"Yes, Janken. Everything went as planned. Rin? You have faired well I trust?" He said as he usually did when he had returned from leaving her in Janken's care.
"Oh! Yes my Lord! However I... That is to say—"she stuttered until she was cut off
"Yes Rin?" Asked Sesshoumaru.
"Your arm!!" She exclaimed.
::A soft breeze blew as only those close to him would be able to notice the small smile on his face. Janken blinked not understanding until he looked over his Master, and noticed he had two arms once again::
"m-m-m-MASTER?!" He cried out in shock –finally- noticing.
::Sesshoumaru regarded them both for a moment before looking up to the sky a little, glad to see something other than the foul smelling bird bones. He spoke quietly though they heard every word::
"As I said; everything went as I had planned for it to go. Now..." He said quietly as Ah-Un made its way over.
"There is something else we must tend to." He finished
::Rin laughed a little as she made haste to get onto Ah-Un's back –who knelt down to help her. Janken stammered as he made his way up to the dragons head and the reigns, while Sesshoumaru –after raising his left arm once more to ensure it had taken its proper place correctly- took his own seat on the dragons back::
"Where to me Lord?" Asked Janken.
What is mine has been returned to me.
::Sesshoumaru looked down to Rin who smiled brightly, still shocked at her Masters new arm::
To think, I have a human to thank.
::With that thought he petted her lightly on the head with his left hand and she smiled even more brightly as he looked up to the sky calmly as always, letting both of his arms rest in his lap. A new journey about to begin::
