1To Pull Through The Darkness

Chapter 2

(Sesshomaru's POV)

Yes,I joined my half brotheraftermuch argument against.

(Flashback)

I had been looking for Naraku for quite some time. Unable to locate the cowardly hanyou I decided to pay a visit to my near and dear half brother. Knowing that Naraku attack InuYasha on a regularly basis it would be beneficial for me to follow so he could exact my revenge.

Immediately in response to my presence InuYasha had Tetsusiagia drawn, and was in a battle stance. The taijiya had her weapon of choice out and in the ready position for a quick launch. The houshi had drawn several ofudas if needed. The miko had her bow knocked, drawn, and was aiming. The neko had transformed and stood protectively in front of the miko and kit.

"Stand down. I am not here to battle you. I am here to propose an alliance of sorts," I stated.

Only the miko responded to what I had said, and lowered her bow. The arrow was still in place, but it was no longer aimed at me.

"What did you have in mind Sesshomaru?" The odd miko questioned curiously.

"No! Hell no! He is not I repeat is not joining us in any way! What the hell are you thinking onna? Do you want him to kill you?"InuYasha shouted at the miko.

"We have no idea why he's here, but if it's against Naraku we can use all the help we can get! You know that InuYasha! Which is more important to you killing Sesshomaru, or killing Naraku? The miko shot back.

"Naraku of course baka onna!" InuYasha shouted.

"Then let him talk, and depending on what he has to say and his terms do we turn him down, negotiate, or accept! InuYasha if I can understand that much for a baka onna what does that make you?" The miko replied indignant.

She surprised me. I thought she would stand by InuYasha no matter the circumstances, and be as stupid if not more stupid especially when it came to politics. My thoughts were shattered by InuYasha's now indignant reply.

"Hey! Watch what you say! I knew that, but I don't trust any farther than you can throw him!"

The miko only sighed, and turned to me. "What are the terms and reasons for this alliance?"

(End Flashback)

At this we began to lay down the foundation for a temporary alliance. Of course the miko made it abundantly clear that InuYasha and I could not physically fight, or with anyone else for that matter, though the fights between the two of us as more danger prone. Though she seemed to understand that we would still argue. Her only reponse to that was that someone would step in if the argument began to get out of hand. She agreed in allowing me to travel with them, but didn't expect me to step in on anything that was not related to Naraku.

As we traveled I found that the miko herself was clever, and witty when she deemed important, but more surprisingly educated. Few youkai women were educated. A human who was educate was even rarer, but a female human that was educated was unheard of. She seemed to have completely forgotten any and all past attemps on her life by me, and she tried to treat me with the respect I would normally demand. She often forgot titles and to bow at certain times, but it was obvious that she was putting forth an effort.She also wore the strangest of outfits. No longer wearing the indecent green kimono in exchange for what she called jeans and t-shirts made from odd materials that I had never seen before. The most unusual thing was when I first saw the well. Her comrades were not shocked by any of these things and upon her return I extracted the information about all of these oddities. After that I took it upon myself to train the girl so noone could take the jewel in her own time.

It is with great regret that all of my effots were to be wasted due to the resistance of my own sword.
