Sakura by Inuyasha vs. Sesshomaru
(Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha and Co.)
Chapter One: Two Quests
The air stood still in the Western Lands. A breeze now and then would come through and soothe the animals around from the heat that surrounded them.
The moon shone bright, lighting up almost all the land, showing the dark, navy blue sky. The stars were bright; not a cloud in sight covered it. The Big Dipper was easily spotted.
Rin ran around playfully as Sesshomaru leaned against a rock with his huge, fluffy white Boa beneath him. Rin would every once in a while run over to him and offer some flowers. Sesshomaru would kindly take them without a word and set them on the ground beside him. He did not care to take the flowers, but he did not want to see Rin's happy, lit-up face to turn into a sad, shadowy one.
Rin retreated back to her spot on the grass where the flowers were.
Sesshomaru stood up minutes later and looked at his human companion, Rin. And his retainer, Jaken. Rin still ran around playfully in the grass as Jaken sat on the ground leaning on his staff of two heads not too far away from the ebony-haired little girl.
Without any delay, Sesshomaru started to walk off. Rin immediately noticed when her adopted father left rest for more travel, and Sesshomaru always knew that she did.
Rin ran over to Jaken and started to shake him out of his mild doze. "Jaken, Jaken! Sesshomaru-san is leaving. Come, come!" she said. With that said, she left the toad demon to take care of himself and caught up with the demon lord.
Jaken eventually made his way beside the young girl and the lord. "Why are we leaving so soon, Master Sesshomaru?" Jaken asked, completely forgetting that no one but Sesshomaru asks questions.
"I do not have to answer you questions." Sesshomaru said, still looking straight ahead.
"Please forgive my milord." He said while looking down at his feet. He always felt like he was being squished into the ground whenever Sesshomaru said something, except when he gave commands.
"But if you must know. Seeing as you two walk with me this very day, we are going to find a demon girl. Her name is Sakura. You require to ask me no more questions. I granted you this one luxury." Sesshomaru answered, this time just looking back slightly through the corner of his eye.
"I understand milord. And thank you so much, I will not ask anymore." Jaken said, groveling so much you'd think he was going to kiss his feet any moment now.
Sesshomaru gave a low grunt and then turned his attention back to the path straight ahead.
"Sakura," Rin started saying, like most little kids do once their parental/guardian mentions something or someone. "She must be special to someone if Sesshomaru-san his looking for her," she said to the toad demon.
"Yes, she is special to someone," Sesshomaru said to Rin, even though what she said wasn't addressed to him. "Special to Naraku," he finished in whisper, making it so Jaken nor Rin could hear.
Back with Inuyasha and the gang
"Sango!" Miroku yelled over to the demon exterminator. He threw is staff over to her. She caught it knew exactly what he meant. She stuck each end of it under the red ropes that were around the end of her Hiraikotsu. Once she was done, she lifted it in the air and threw it.
In front of them was a huge legion of demons, each different color and each different face upon them.
The huge boomerang flew through the air and hit over 20 of them. Each fell the ground, dead. It came right back to her and she, as always, caught it so perfectly. She quickly ripped the staff away and threw it back to the houshi.
Miroku, knowing that Inuyasha would take care of them, stood out of the way with Sango, who also knew Inuyasha would.
"Argh!" Inuyasha yelled while slashing demons after demons.
Kagome stood right beside him with her bow and arrows. Taking arrows out of her pack on her back one by one, shooting them with her magic powers. Each arrow went with a pink glow. Sometimes she would even move to a spot where demons were lined up together, allowing her to get more than one at once.
"That's it," Inuyasha yelled. "Time for you pains in the neck to die!"
Kagome stopped what she was doing and ran right beside Inuyasha, not wanting to die with them.
"WIND SCAR!" he yelled, then in no time, there was a bright light. Once the smoke vanished, they could see that there was no demons left, including the ground beneath them had four 'scars' in it.
Kagome smiled. Sango and Miroku came running over. "Finally," Miroku said, "We were waiting for you to do that."
Inuyasha gave him a glare then put his Tetsusaiga back into its holster. With a sigh he wiped off the blood from the demons off his flaming red hoari.
"We should continue on with our quest," Inuyasha said. He looked at Kagome then started to walk around the huge holes in the ground from his sword. Totally forgetting that the others do not have the strength like he does and requires more rest. But they just ignored it and were on their way.
"Naraku, will you ever give us a break?" he asked himself, addressing it Naraku, but seeing as he wasn't there, he might as well be talking to himself.
Kagome and the others followed. "Kagome!" Shippo yelled from behind.
"Oh, sorry, Shippo." Kagome said with an apologetic chuckle. The kitsun kit jumped up into her arms.
Kagura and Kanna floated above them in the huge, white feather. Kagura looked down at them, as did Kanna while holding her glass ball. It was a large field with beautiful green grass, surrounded by woods, where Inuyasha and the others fought was on a hill.
"Why can he not smell me?" Kagura asked quietly. "Hmph, well that saves me one battle with him." She folded her arms and smiled. But soon that smile turned into a frown. "I wanted to use my wind powers." She said while looking down at her fan. "Oh well, next time."
Kagura took one last look at the group then turned to Kanna. "Let's go, Kanna. Takes us back to Naraku. We shall inform him on Inuyasha's victory over his demons."
With that said, the feather lifted higher into the air then shot off into the distance.
The 6 walked through the woods. Just waiting for more demons to come parading after them. But lucky for them, none were coming, nor did Inuyasha smell any.
But Kagome sensed something of her own. "Inuyasha," she said flatly. He turned his attention to her while still walking. "Jewel Shard. Over there," she said while pointing to her left. "More then one, but two." She said.
"Great," Inuyasha scoffed. Pretty much one hundred percent sure of who possessed them.
He stood there and waited for the arrival of the one her suspected.
And with no doubt, it was whom he suspected. It was Kouga, the wolf demon. A torpedo came speeding their way, Inuyasha rolled his eyes. In a few seconds, it came to a halt. And out came Kouga.
"We need those shards," Inuyasha blurted with no delay.
"I bet you do," Kouga said with a grin. But all eyes were set on Kagome.
"Hello, Kagome, my love." He said once he got up to her. "Have you thought about my question?" he said.
Kagome blushed. "Uh... ehh... Well you see.." she stuttered.
Kouga took her hands. "I would be most happy if you would accept my invitation to be my mate."
Inuyasha's blood started boiling.
Kagome blushed harder, looking like she was going to explode. "I'll think about it," she said.
"Very well then." Kouga took her answer for what it was.
'Why always me?' Kagome thought. 'At least he's nice. Unlike Inuyasha.'
"Kouga," Inuyasha said. "We need those shards now!"
"Who's gonna make me?" the wold demon asked with a cocky grin. He walked towards the hanyou. "It's not like you will. You're just a half-demon who turns into a mere mortal every new moon.
Inuyasha's blood boiled more.
Kagome, knowing that Inuyasha would kill him no problem interfered. "Do you have to argue all the time?" she asked the two. "You outta be ashamed of yourselves. Inuyasha, maybe politeness would work now and then, and Kouga, can we please just have them?" she asked.
Kagome saw this was hard for Kouga. He could never resist her. But he did. "I'm sorry, my love. But I must return home to my den. Until next time." He said. With a kiss on her hand, he was gone like a breeze. Literally.
"Well that worked," Inuyasha said with a smirk.
"Oh shut up would ya?" Kagome yelled. She went crashing through the woods ahead of them, raging mad. "I try and a try and what do I get? Nothing! Zelge, notta!" she rambled on, having one of her rare temper tantrums
The 5 behind watched as the steaming Kagome nearly knocked down trees with her rage.
Back with Sesshomaru
Sesshomaru came upon a spot where he could smell the blood of demons. He walked up the hill that kept him from seeing ahead. When he got up, he saw 4 'scars' in the ground.
He immediately knew what it was. 'Inuyasha.' He thought. Just then, a scent came to his nose. He lifted it up into the air and then brought it down.
"Sakura," he said softly. "She is near." With that, he grabbed his two followers and leaped into the air.
(A/N: This is my first fan fiction, so please have mercy, please! If you found this chapter boring, then that's okay, but I'm hoping it'll get better. Please review. I'd really like that.)
