Chapter Eighteen
The Ancients
"Lord Sesshomaru," screamed a small little green creature. Disgusting toad! His smell is so putrid I have to use all of my control no to gag on contract with that awful smell.
"What do you want?" I asked trying to keep my path straight preparing for the squawking sound the toad usually emitted every time he spoke.
"Where are you going now mi' lord?" Insolence! Growling I did not bother to turn back to see the disaster that was known as Jaken.
"And what concern would that be to you?" I snapped my eyes narrowed when I could almost see him quivering as he mumbled his apologies. That stupid senile old toad always had to push his luck. Ignoring him I continued striding down the corridors. It seemed that I would be paying a visit to Kagome Higurashi.
Walking down the halls I could hear the servants scuffling around in the servant's quarters. Some demons were quite pathetic. They were almost as loud as humans. Yet, I suppose it is better then having human servants they smell horrible. Almost everyone is filled with hatred, greed, and mostly jealousy.
Reaching the entrance doors with a slight movement of my hand they swung open for me. The large doors groaned, and screeched sending birds in every direction.
Walking down the stone steps I concentrated some of my energy into my feet, and before I ever touched the last step I was up in the air. The wind swirled around me, and a sigh escaped my lips. Pure Freedom!
This was the only thing that could truly make me happy. Knowing that I have no responsibilities up here. I would stay if I could, but that would be impossible. Those old fools would be after me after a year or two.
Yes the mighty lord of the western lands must be bossed around by some senile demons. It was degrading! I could make almost every thing I encounter run away pleading for there lives by just a simple look, but I was treated just like a baby having a constant watch on me.
They tell me everything I have to do. How I should act...or at least how I should act. What she be worn at all times. Hell they even tell me how to stand! Now they have taken it upon themselves to find me a mate. It was certainly frustrating. Yet, what can I do it would be exile if I disobeyed the ancients. I know I could easily defeat them, but they are the ancients they know every attack in the book. They are the only ones powerful enough to rule me as disgraceful as that may be.
Kagome Higurashi had gained my respect I must admit she wasn't exactly a bad choice as a mate. Anyone who could be in that hanyous presence for more then a day is frankly a miracle. She also did adopt that annoying kitsune. Yet, the most amazing thing is that she had defeated Naraku. She never proved to be quite so violent. It seemed that I had greatly underestimated her. Now it was time to undue that, and see what she really was.
Looking down at the village I smirked. It seemed it was time to test my new property. The cloud began to vaporize beneath my feet as I lowered the cloud to the ground. Stepping off from the cloud it vanished instantly. The wind blew against my back. Hopefully that mutts scent was good enough to detect my presence. Yet again, it wouldn't be surprising if it wasn't.
A red streak filled my vision, and I moved quickly dodging the claw aimed at my neck. Appearing next to the hanyou I looked down to him as he turned around.
"What are you doing here?" InuYasha asked glaring at me as though I would cower.
"You are not the one I have come here to see today. Where is that wench?" I asked calmly as I noted the confused look on his face.
"What do you want with Sango?" Ignorant fool! I held my temper easily a feat that InuYasha had yet to accomplish. I shook my head as I watched his eyes go wide.
"Kagome?" Hm I seems he is not so stupid after all. I nodded taking pleasure in InuYasha face as it glowed red.
"What the hell do you want with her you bastard?" He yelled his ears pinned to his head as he snarled.
"I think that is none of you concern hanyou," I snapped my voice filled with venom.
"The hell it aint!" Typical his vocabulary is just as repulsive as he is.
"This Sesshomaru will not repeat himself!" I replied annoyance already egging me to rip out his throat. Yet, there will be time for that later. I sniffed the air. Detaching her smell from the others was a simple task no one had ever smelt of Sakura blossoms, and spring rain mixed with power. It was enticing, and almost addictive. It seems she had long since left the area. Gathering all the information that I needed I turned back to InuYasha.
"It seems that I have all that I need I will be back for what is mine later," I stated as I disappeared. I will have to lure her towards me, and with something that is essential to her. This would be quite easy she will be furious when she finds out. Perfect!
((Oh-Uh what is he going to take? I shall leave you guessing so cruelly. I know I have taken a bit longer....sorry. Well I am getting to work with the author page its taking long, but I shall finish it soon. Well till next chapter!))
