To Fulfill One's Destiny
Chapter 12- Confusion and the Entrance of the Baboon
'Shouldn't have let him fill your thoughts.
Shut up
Might've noticed that you were being watched.
Shut UP.
HE CAN'T PROTECT YOU EVERYWHERE YOU GO.
SHUT UP!'
Thus Maria silently battled with herself from her position-several stories above the ground- in the arms of a gigantic demon that looked like it was released from the deepest dungeons of hell.
His head cleared the tree tops, he could easily be seen for miles after he shed his disguise as a old tree...if it were not for the barrier erected around their section of the forest.
Which Maria had just noticed.
Dammit. Figures.
Her main concern was now Rin, who was cradled in the demon's left hand for the time being. Well, her main concern right AFTER she got out of this creature's clutches.
Another demon, smaller than the first and yet taller than a human male emerged into the new clearing.
"Don't forget Kurokan, we cannot kill them ... yet."
Sesshomaru stood now in front of what used to be an open path into the forest.
Used to be, because if you extended one finger forward...
ZIZIZIT
you pulled back a severely burned finger.
In one motion he drew Toukijin from its sheath by his side.
Whoever did this was going to pay.
"Woman, answer me"
"Mmmpf"
Sigh "Relax your grip on her MOUTH KUROKAN."
"Now, answer my question."
"Depends on the question."
"Do not toy with me wench."
"Would you just ask the stupid question already?"
"Fine. Are you not the woman known as Mareya?"
"It's MA-REE-YA, and if that's what you meant to say, then yes."
"And this small creature is your daughter."
She delicately raised one eyebrow. "Hai."
"I see. Very good. Kurokan, let's remove this barrier and let the high and mighty Lord of the Western Lands see the predicament his mate and their pup are in right now."
"EXCUSE ME?!?"
Sesshomaru lifted Toukijin to strike the barrier...
... when it disappeared.
Sheathing his sword, he raced into the woods in search of the two people he cared for above all else, though he didn't know it himself.
Meanwhile...
"Ok, lemme get this straight. You think that I am his MATE?"
"Lover, concubine, slave, whichever applies."
"And that Rin is HIS daughter."
"I thought that he said you would be smart."
"Did it ever occur to you that A) if I ( a human) was Sesshomaru's mate and B) if he (a demon) is Rin's father then C) wouldn't Rin be a hanyou? And who is this HE person you keep referring to?"
"Strange. The child is human, without a doubt."
"No kidding, I thought you would never notice. And this third entity you keep referring to.."
"Don't worry. You'll meet him soon enough."
"Jurokan, interrogation wasn't part of the pact, now was it?"
All four turned to face a person who appeared behind the smaller demon, dressed in a baboon pelt.
"So sorry, forgive me Lord Naraku."
