DISCLAIMER: Hello, Mr.Anderdson. I disclaim. Er... from both Inuyasha AND the Matrix. Heh.
((A/N: I'm dividing it into two chapters. The next half probably isn't going to be up until the day after tomorrow, I got to get my schedule from school. Sorry! But I might finish it up tomorrow if you REVIEW! n.n thankies!))
"Hey, look at this, Lord Sesshoumaru! If I turn my staff upside down, it looks like a bat with a black hat! Hey, that rhymes!" Jaken chimed in his annoying squeaky voice, attempting to keep himself amused. They had been riding Ah and Un the entire afternoon, and Jaken was quite bored. It was already long past nightfall, but still Sesshoumaru refused to land. Unlike Jaken, Sesshoumaru didn't need very much sleep at all.
Jaken waited for a reply in utter silence. He waited. And waited. "Can we land now, please!?"
"No, Jaken, and if you ask me again it will be your life." Sesshoumaru scowled in annoyance. "Well, can you tell me where we're going then?" Jaken whimpered, not wanting to die just yet.
The Lord of the Western Lands remained silent. Honestly, he wasn't sure exactly where he was going either. Sesshoumaru knew he just wanted to catch up with Inuyasha. The Tetsusaiga is meant to be his birthright, and the second he got a chance, Sesshoumaru would steal it back from Inuyasha.
They flew in silence for a while. Then something in the distance caught Sesshoumaru's sharp golden eyes. A purple light emitted from a small mountain directly in front of them in the distance. The lavender glow illuminated the sky, making the clouds look like purple waves swishing and streaking across a pool of stars. The light's glow intensified at a very fast rate, then it disappeared within an instant, as quickly as it had came.
Sesshoumaru's eyes strained to adjust at the fast change of moon light to bright then returning to dim. "That was an odd sight..." Jaken mumbled as he stared up at the now black sky. Black excluding the intense array of stars, of coarse.
"Follow that light." Sesshoumaru whispered to Ah and Un. They obediently quickened their pace.
When landing on the mellow-mountain's ledge, they where face to face with the mouth of a somewhat large cave.
Sesshoumaru dismounted and took a few steps towards the entrance, but stopped at the mouth, his instincts telling him there was magic nearby. Jaken pranced up beside him to see why he had stopped walking.
"What is it, me Lord?" Jaken questioned. Sesshoumaru shook off the uneasy feeling and slowly stepped into the cave. Seeing a purple Youki ((A demon's energy aura)) surround him as he walked through, Sesshoumaru turned around to see if the same aura was surrounding Jaken.
"Coming?" The Youkai ((demon)) taunted. Jaken staggered slightly than ran towards to entrance, only to run face-first into the purple barrier which guarded the cave. Sesshoumaru couldn't help but smirk at Jaken's failure. "Curious.." He thought as he turned around and continued to walk down the tunnel.
"Lord Sesshoumaru, you're leaving without me!?" Jaken called after him. "Waaaiittt! Don't leave me out here! Humf... you always leave me behind.." Jaken mumbled and sat himself down beside Ah and Un.
