The Third Brother
Sesshomaru tested the wind, that scent still lingered. He felt his demonic blood start boiling; what did Myloca think to prove by coming to his territory. The youkai prince glided into the sky, and landed softly in front of Myloca. Both demons looked each other in the eyes, the air around them crackled and gave off sparks of lightning as their demonic auras clashed. "What do you want?" Sesshomaru hissed his eyes glowing blood red. "You know what I want Fluffy." Myloca said his voice just as threatening as his brother's. Sesshomaru knew what his brother was referring to. But he wasn't willing to give it to him. The atmosphere around Sesshomaru suddenly grew thick, as the prince threatened to transform.
That was exactly what Myloca wanted him to do. He knew if Sesshomaru reverted to his true from it would be easier to slaughter him. Sesshomaru didn't transform however, instead he just walked away. He saw no reason to do battle with his brother; after all he was no threat. Not yet anyway. He walked back to his palace. Sesshomaru stopped at the lake that his home over looked. The full moon reflected in the calm still water. Overhead a falling star streaked across the sky. It was times like this that Sesshomaru felt most at peace with the world. A scent drifted to his nose, it was her. Sesshomaru turned towards the west and stared at the nearby forest.
Though he couldn't see her, he knew she was there. For sometime a young hanyou female had been haunting his lands. Sesshomaru had tried to track her down, but it seemed whenever he came upon where she was, she had disappeared. He smiled, the hanyou was lucky he had never caught her, for if he had, well he needn't think about what he would do to her. "I'll let you live for now." Sesshomaru said softly. He turned and proceeded to the palace.
Lurna watched as the demon prince left, she'd heard what he had said. Letting out a breath of relief she cautiously made her way down towards the water's edge. She paused several times, sniffing the air for Sesshomaru's scent. However, it was apparent the demon prince was not coming back. She knelt down, cupped her hands, dipped them into the water and bought them back up to her lips and began to drink. Her thirst was great, all day she'd been hiding trying to keep away from Sesshomaru while he'd been checking out his territory. The wind rustled the trees over head, Lurna lifted her head up into the wind and let it blow through her hair. She got to her feet, and started back towards the forest. She felt someone watching her, someone was close. Lurna whipped around and faced the castle. To her horror there he stood watching her from the balcony.
Sesshomaru's golden eyes clashed with her blue ones, he smiled. He watched in amusement as she quickly ran back into the forest. He noted she was half wolf demon, which was interesting. He'd never heard of a wolf hanyou before. He resolved to catch her tomorrow, and punish her for being in his lands.
Inuyasha sat in a tree up over the gang. The campfire roared and he was the only one awake. He yawned, and settled into a more comfortable position in the tree. There was the faint scent of a youkai in the area, but the demon was not close enough for him to be worried with. The person Inuyasha was worried about was Sesshomaru. For sometime his brother had been following him and the others, but now he had vanished. Inuyasha shot straight up when he was assaulted with the scent of a strong youkai.
Below him Kilila also began to growl. Dropping to the ground, Inuyasha quickly roused the others. The last thing he needed was having a demon sneak up on his friends and slaughter them in their sleep. "Come on wake up!" he shouted loud enough to wake the dead. Sango blinked her eyes sleepily, and looked around bewildered. Kagome, Miroku, and Shippo were all the same way. Only Inuyasha and Kilila were fully awake. The demon's scent was heavy in the air now, and it was sickening. Suddenly there was a loud thunderous roar; a flash of lightning blinded everybody.
When Inuyasha's eyes finally refocused, he was astounded at who he saw. There stood Sesshomaru, dressed all in black. Wait, no! Inuyasha shook his head, this wasn't his brother. Sesshomaru had silver hair not black and he never, never, wore such a disgraceful color. Inuyasha's hand went towards his sword. "Who are you? And what do you want?" he demanded to know. "I am Myloca and I have come for the Sacred Jewel." Was the reply. "Now hand it over." A growl came from Inuyasha's throat, faster then the human eye could detect he whipped out Tetsusaiga. Myloca frowned and narrowed his eyes. "Why should we hand the Sacred Jewel over to you?" he roared.
Myloca sighed and raised his hand, his claws gleaming. "I'll give you until I count to five to hand it over, then I'm going to slaughter you all." He said casually, his voice soft and menacing. One thing Inuyasha couldn't tolerate was when people threatened him. He stared at Myloca long and hard, trying to intimidate the much more powerful demon. Myloca attacked, he was so fast that Inuyasha didn't see him until he was right in his face. Inuyasha was sent flying backwards as Myloca slashed him with his claws.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome yelled as the hanyou hit the dirt. She ran up to him, kneeling beside him she was horrified to see that he was cut all over. "Boomerang Bone!" Sango called out hurtling her weapon at their attacker. Myloca lazily swiped his claws in the air, golden blades came flying out of his
