Disclaimer: do you guys honestly believe I created and own InuYasha? Ok now that is settled. Chikarako is mine and so is this story plot.
Recap
The Taijiya though then spoke " Then if the Snake lord and his son were killed who did this to Totosai?" " That would be Orochimaru the youngest and last child of the Snake. He probably wants the swords to rid the world of Chikarako. In doing so InuYasha-sama and all who know him most likely will die." Everyone became silent. "Myoga." "Yes! Yes my Lord?" "Where is her body kept? I'd like to see it."
Chapter 3
Other than in the years of his childhood Sesshomaru had never spent so much time at his castle. It was full of beautiful material things but as he would lounge around all day he felt as though he was becoming sluggish. His quick movements had diminished slightly to the point only he could notice. A few weeks back he decided that training was needed in his life. After Naraku no demon showed any threat to him and this bored him greatly.
He gracefully stood from where he was resting and walked to the open door. As he moved his silk kimono flowed as if it were part of his elegant form. (A/N: fan girls swoon now XD) He felt the warm summer breeze play with his sliver locks and the cool touch of the silk on his skin. He smiled internally but kept his ice like face. "To show emotion will make you loose respect which in our world means death son." He lived by his father's thinking and the beating of his heart showed the truth of his words. All who saw his handsome but cold face feared him save for one human girl, Rin. He would never admit it but she brought a ray of light in his world and he loved her deeply for it. She was like his adopted daughter but he longed for his own offspring. He was 80, at the top of his game and had many years to look forward to but he was a loner. It sounds like a fun life but in the time of peace it's dull.
Rin and Jaken had left an hour ago to have "fun" swimming in the near by creek He didn't see what the girl loved about water. It was cold and it wet everything. Other than washing and drinking he saw no other need for the liquid. He let a small sign of disgust as he thought about it.
Has he stood in the doorway the smell of assorted flowers filled his nose but there was a pungent scent mixed in. A smell he hadn't taken in since his childhood. It was far off in the east nothing to worry about. No. Rin was in that direction. He couldn't take chances. She had many times before been kidnapped even if it was nothing he needed to run a bit.
"Jaken-sama! Will you join Rin?" The little imp was ringing out his clothing. He was soaked from head to toe. "I've already joined you against my will!" " Jaken-sama! Rin can not play with herself!" she whined. She had the usual pout face and crossed her arms. "I will play with you little human." She turned to see two deep red male eyes that fear struck at her heart. She knew that if she showed fear it gave them the upper hand. So she remained silent holding back tears. " Ha ha! Little girl your courage is commendable but did your Lord tell you most youkai can sense fear?" he paused taking in her scent "And that scent is allover you my dear." He grinned bearing his fangs. She turned and tried to run as fast as the water would let her but he grabbed her and held her tight to his body. Even still she wriggled in his arms and screaming trying to find a way out and she did. While wringing to and fro she swung her legs hitting him right in the groin. He let her go into the water. She pushed herself up from the sallow creek and began again to run towards her help. Jaken grabbed his staff and held it ready to spit its fire" Rin! Get down!" Jaken felt a hand on his head and on his staff "I think not little imp." Said a female voice from behind. Kiko stripped him of the staff and threw him against a tree causing his world to go black. Rin screamed at the sight of Jaken flying but her cry of help became muffled as her face met the water. " I think not little girl." Orochimaru flipped the young girl over so he could see her face. Not a second later a flash a silver, red and black was all that was seen.
Kiko could not see her master anywhere. " Heh! It would seem the Taiyoukai took the bait." She looked in the water. " But he left the girl. Maybe he doesn't care for her as much as we thought." She picked up the limp girl and carried her off in the direction of her master's scent.
Sesshomaru had railed the Snake against a tree with his only arm and jumped away creating distance. He preferred not to fight close since the hacking of his arm. "Ah! Sesshomaru-sama! How wonderful to see you again! It's been so long and my my what happened to your arm?" Sesshomaru remained quite and drew Tokijin. " A new sword! Is the healing power of Chikarako not good enough for you?" Sesshomaru became confused "What does that dead female have to do with this?" "Everything." Orochimaru lay on the ground. The dog practically broke his ribs. Each breath was painful. " its good to hear your voice! All this time I thought you were mute!" " Enough play Snake. What do you want with the girl?" he kept is cool clam tone. " Well to draw you out of course!" Orochimaru left his usual clam tone and replaced it with a sarcastic one. He kept is vision on the Taiyoukai but saw Kiko with the girl in the corner of his eye. The female walked over to her Lord and stood beside him. "If you want her back, go to the grave of Chikarako. Or did your father not tell you about that either?"
Sesshomaru gripped Tokijin. He couldn't kill them now if he did there would be nothing of Rin to revive. Then before his eyes their forms became hundreds of snakes along with Rin but as soon as they touched the ground they became dust.
"Lord InuYasha it is only a little while up." Myoga had found a spot latch on near the Hanyou's neck. A while back they had given up running for Miroku's sake. Kagome and Sango were left at the hut so they could tend to Totosai. The area around them was full of wolves and stray dogs like the fake grave of the Inu no Taisho.
"That is it my lord. Chikarako's grave." Myoga squeaked in a fearful tone. Before them was an old forgotten cave over run by vines. The entrance was tall enough for a man to walk through and about 15' wide. At the mouth of the cave was a 30' clearing.
InuYasha walked forward to the mouth of the cave and then stopped. He stretched out his hand to the opening but before his had could pass over the opening he felt a jolt like electricity and a force stopping him. He pulled his hand back with a snap. "I thought the old man might do something like this." While saying this he unsheathed Tetsusiga. Myoga jumped up and down on his Lord's shoulder in attempts to stop him." Wait! No! That barrier is not your father's but Chikarako's." " So I'll take it down." "But my lord you don't understand only the Lord of the western lands may enter! She will not attack her own barrier!" The sound of barking dogs and wailing wolves was heard behind them. " Which is why your brother was invited to this little party." Miroku let his head hang low "Oh great!" InuYasha didn't hear the monk and began yelling he kept staring at the figure that had contacted Sesshomaru to come. " You did what?" To their right they heard a female voice. "Well we have his little girl. He has to come if he doesn't want her to die." They turned to see a slender female hold a young girl who was moaning. Her head was bleeding from what seemed to be a hit on her head.
The rustling of leaves signaled that the rest of the party arrived. Upon hearing the signature cold voice it was evident it was Sesshomaru "and you will pay with your life for what you have done to her." Orochimaru strode, mocking Sesshomaru's elegant ways, to Kiko and took the girl. He grabbed Rin by the head and injected a hot fluid in her neck. Her body twisted in pain and louder groans could be heard from her. When he was done he slowly pulled out his fangs keeping his eyes on Sesshomaru daring him to attack. Sesshomaru kept his face like steel but his eyes were becoming red with fury. "You bastard." Orochimaru laughed at him. " Please Sesshomaru just let all your emotions go." Sesshomaru stopped and realized what he was doing and quickly clamed himself. With his one arm he reached and grasped Tensegia. As he held it in is grasp he felt a quickening heart beat. He looked at it inquisitively and then to Rin, who was wriggling in pain on the ground. He made his decision and threw it to the snake.
" No! Sesshomaru you fool!" InuYasha yelled. Sesshomaru turned to his younger brother. "Little Brother. You are here. I didn't notice." "You Jerk!" Orochimaru grinned. " Now now boys no fighting." He said in the tone a father would have " Here sesshomaru take your pathetic girl back." Once he finished his sentence Rin stopped moving and got to her feet as though she was healed and run to her Lord. " Sesshomaru-sama!" she nuzzled her face in his robes. He placed his hand on her head and turned to the direction of home.
Orochimaru walked up to the neglected blade. "Ha foolish dog. Did you really think I would let it happen the easily?" Sesshomaru paused and turn his head slightly to his shoulder. "Look at the girl." He looked down to see Rin's eyes had rolled in the back of her head but she stood in one place. " Come here human." Her body turned to Orochimaru and began to walk to him. A low growl could be heard from Sesshomaru chest. "You will die before the sun sets this day Snake!"
InuYasha and Miroku decided that it was wise not to get involved. So they crept over to the entrance again to find a way in. " Boys what do you think you are doing?" A female snake was behind them. They paused but Miroku felt a sharp pain in his chest. InuYasha turned to see that the woman had put her hand through his back. He lunged at her. She gracefully pulled her arm from his chest and got out of the away. Miroku fell to the ground clutching his chest. His eyes became wide with fear of death. InuYasha dove to his friend's aid. Kiko stood tall licking the blood from her arm and each finger in total pleasure. " Such delicious blood." She said sadistically. " My lord" she turned to other feud going on. "The monk is taken care of."
He responded with a very rare praise. Sesshomaru stood in terror but still showed no emotion. "How. Why?" Was all he could say. " Easy. It's a new technique. A venom that runs through the body and allows me to control it. Oh and also to see your face as you watch her die but you are showing no emotion what so ever. You're beginning to bore me." Up from the ground sprang snakes of all kinds wrapping themselves to his legs and the near by trees. Sesshomaru's body was engulfed entirely. He showed no struggle. The sternness on his face said try your best it will not work. Orochimaru sprang to what was now the covered Sesshomaru. "Die." All the snakes at that word bit the Lord and injected venom. Orochimaru stood there with a pleased look "That should take care of him."
The snake directed his attention to Kiko and InuYasha. The Hanyou was crouching over his friend trying to help him in anyway he could. There was a pool of blood under the human man's body. He walked over to the dying man. "You know Hanyou I have tenseiga in my hand it could heal your friend. He doesn't look like he last much longer." Miroku began to cough blood as though on cue. Give tetsusiga to the human and I promise I will heal him." Myoga was giving his advice not to. "Myoga shut up!" in blind mourning he took tetsesiga and handed it to the controlled Rin. "Take it! Now heal him!" Orochimaru let the scabbard of tenseiga fall to the ground " I will be a man to my word this time." He took the sword and sliced down. A bright light and Miroku slowly getting up showed he did in fact keep to his word. "InuYasha-sama what have you done!"
