Mari and Maru
Chapter 4
Predator vs. Predator
Mari awoke in her brothers arms. Swallowing she leaned against her brothers chest, inhaling his scent. She felt his hand pet her hair, as she looked up to see Sesshomaru awake.
"Morin Maru." Mari whispered her voice weak.
"Sleep well Mari?" Sesshomaru asked
"It was alright…." Mari replied
Sesshomaru kissed his sisters forehead softly. Mari looked down at the ground sadly, the rain and dew dripping from her hair onto the sodden ground. She and Sesshomaru locked eyes for a second then looked away.
"I'M SORRY!" the twins said
"I'll let you go Mari…" Sesshomaru said
"Fine….I'm sorry I tried to kill you but…this voice told me to let it take over…and well I did and I really don't remember what happened, all I can muster from my memory is the scent of your blood, and the scent of cat yokai." Mari said looking at her hands.
"I wanted to say I'm sorry for thinking you knew about the jewel shard….the jewel shards are useless to us Mari, we don't need them. I thought maybe you…" Sesshomaru trailed off
Mari sat staring at her brother, fresh tears springing into her eyes. They ran down her cheeks but she dared not wipe them away. Sesshomaru saw her tears and lifted her chin and wiped her cheeks. (A/N: Don't you wish they were not twins, then they could kiss and it would be all nice! But then I would Inuyasha wake up and see his brother kissing her!!LAUGHS)
"I love you so much Maru…." Mari whispered
"As do I Mari….as do I." Sesshomaru wrapped his sister into his arms, her arms wrapped around him.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Everyone awoke and the camp was bustling in only a few minutes. Inuyasha jumped up to meet his siblings but they looked asleep, all except them mumbling to each other.
"Maru….do you remember when Inuyasha was born?" Mari whispered
"Yes…that was the day I asked father about Tentsuaiga….and-"Sesshomaru looked down and opened his eyes seeing Inuyasha there.
"Yes Inuyasha?" Sesshomaru asked
Mari snapped open her eyes and fell backwards out of the tree, landing on her back. Miroku ran up to help Mari up with a smile.
"Domo Houshi-sa-"Mari stopped as she felt a hand on her ass. Golden eyes narrowed as she leaped up next to her brother screaming at the monk.
"BAKA HENTAI!!!!!!!!!!!!"Mari screamed
Sango glared at the lecherous monk, and dragged him, angrily. Kagome giggled as Mari crossed her arms angrily. Sesshomaru put a hand on her head soothingly. Mari looked at her brother her face still sour.
"If he sets another hand on you, I will kill him." Sesshomaru whispered to Mari
"Fine…." Mari mumbled
Mari looked up the sourness from her face gone. He eyes widened as she swallowed hard. This scent….I know it. It's…that cat!!! Mari jumped down from the branches and lifted her head. Inuyasha and Sesshomaru stared at their sister strangely before she ran off.
"MARI!!!????" Sesshomaru asked and followed her.
"Damn it…." Inuyasha said and followed his half-siblings.
Mari skidded to a stop, her silver hair whipping in the wind. Mari inhaled deeply, but any trace of what she had smelled had disappeared. Damn it! Mari punched the ground angrily, closing her eyes.
"Mari…go to sleep…let me take over." A voice whispered to her
"NO!!! I WILL NOT!!! YOU'RE THE ONE WHO ALL MOST KILLED MARU!" Mari screamed into the wind
"Sesshomari…listen to me now go to sleep, I will not harm your brothers." The voice cooed
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" Mari howled
Sesshomaru heard his sisters' cries and ran faster. He reached the rise where Mari sat clutching her head. Her silver hair whipped around her, then sparkled and flashed gold. She stood up calmly and turned towards Sesshomaru. Her golden eyes now a cool violet.
"Hello there Sesshomaru." Furi said coolly to the elder inu yokai.
"Give me my sister back you witch!" Sesshomaru growled
"I see the little half-brother tagged along also, more fun for me." Furi said looking past Sesshomaru seeing Inuyasha.
"Is that Mari?!" Inuyasha asked stepping next to his brother
"Yeah…but she is being controlled by a neko witch named Furi." Sesshomaru told his younger half-breed brother.
"Enough chatting. I will kill you both at the same time, and then I rid myself of Sesshomari's useless body and get my jewel shard back." Furi said with a twisted smile.
Sesshomari?! So they are twins…but who is Furi and why does she want to kill us? Inuyasha thought
"Give me your full power or this will be no fun for me!" Furi cried and disappeared into the wind.
"Damn it…Inuyasha, don't you kill Mari's body, just weaken her enough to make Furi let go of her." Sesshomaru told him.
"You don't say? Well I already knew that." Inuyasha remarked
"JUMP!" Sesshomaru told his brother as they both leaped into the air.
Furi was below them, her claws making a large crater in the spot the brother had been standing in just a second before.
"Awwww, you two are so smart. This will be interesting then." Furi pouted and leaped up at the brothers.
Furi smiled her fangs glinted over her lips as she slashed at Sesshomaru. Inuyasha growled and unsheathed Tentsuaiga aiming a blow for the witch. Furi hissed as the sword jabbed her in the back throwing her to the ground. The brothers fell and landed next to Mari's body.
"She's not changed…."Sesshomaru said hand on Tojikin.
Inuyasha looked at their sister's controlled form. She still had golden hair and violet eyes. Inuyasha barely blinked before he felt claws around his neck.
"Tsk tsk Inuyasha, you really should keep those eyes and ears open more." Furi's voice hissed at him.
Inuyasha gagged as he closed his eyes trying to breathe. Furi was crushing his throat; no air was coming from his lungs. Furi roared and let him go.
"Hmph! Your no fun Sesshomaru, I thought you hated your half-breed half-brother as much as I hate your family. ENOUGH TO KILL HIM!" Furi spat holding her side and jumping away.
"Well, when you start using my sister's body to kill me, family comes in handy." Sesshomaru said pointing the tip of Tojikin's blade at Furi.
"Ho Ho ho…trying to be the hero now. Just remember I'm using Mari's body. You would not want to kill your sister would you?"
"I don't think that will be a problem." Sesshomaru said as Inuyasha stood up.
The brothers smirked at each other and Furi just grinned from ear to ear. Sesshomaru and Inuyasha leaped at the girl, slashing at her with their swords. Furi blocked them effortlessly with hr claws.
"HAHAHA! You think just slashes will hurt me?! TRY HARDER YOU DAMNED DOGS!!!" Furi told the two.
One of Furi's clawed hands reached out grabbing the blade of Tojikin, then other glowed sickly poison green and slashed at Inuyasha. Inuyasha leaped out of the way just as Furi's poison claws almost hit him.
"Damn…." Inuyasha growled
Sesshomaru struggled keeping his sword in her grasp. Eventually Furi wrenched it from his claws holding the hilt in her hands smiling wickedly.
"Hmph….the swords powers should not be wasted on such weaklings." Furi said inspecting the blade in her hands.
Damn…She can wield Tojikin and use Mari's poison claws. What sort of power does she really hold?! Sesshomaru thought angrily.
Furi stopped smiling and looked at Inuyasha. She turned to the hanyou and ran towards him, Tojikin raised. Inuyasha swung Tentsuaiga at the girl. She blocked with Sesshomaru's sword, sparks flew between them.
"Great….now I must leave! I will be back for you, and next time I wont leave and even if you don't want to, YOU WILL HAVE TO KILL YOUR DAMNED SISTERS BODY!" Furi told the brothers leaping into the air.
A flash of silver light shot out Mari's body. When the light cleared Mari's hair was back to misty silver, and her golden eyes closed as she fell through the air aimed towards the ground.
"NE-CHAN!!" Inuyasha screamed dropping Tentsuaiga.
Inuyasha caught his elder sister lightly in his arms. Sesshomaru walked up to his hanyou half-brother and looked at his sister sadly. Inuyasha looked at his brother and managed a small smile.
"Let's talk to everyone about what we will do about Mari. Don't worry bro, it won't come down to killing our sister." Inuyasha told Sesshomaru
Sesshomaru nodded meekly and turned around walking back towards camp with Inuyasha behind, an unconscious Mari is his arms.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Garg….I know I should have made this battle longer but ever since I started datingdances my mind has turned to mush! ANYWAY!! This chappy I HAVE YOUR SNEAK PEEK!!
Furi sighed and twirled Souunga in her paws giggling happily. Her golden ears twitched as her violet eyes glinted with happiness.
"Oooo tis so much fun to toy with those Taisho's! They don't even know I have the last heirloom to their family…the heirloom that will be the end of those pesky little inu's" Furi said lying back on her bed.
She twirled Souunga in her paws once more then set it into its sheath on the wall. Her fangs glinted over her lips as her tail twitched happily, her mind plotting on how to kill the last of the Tasiho family.
DUM DUM DUM!!!!! Well we get to see Furi…for the first time. I hope you liked this chapter. I'm going to be working on my Guilty Gear Fan Fiction called Fight or Flight for a little bit, so just hand tight with me!
