Hitokage, The Fire Demon

As evening drew closer, a tall figure made its way into the forest, and stopped in a small glade. With a loud crackling noise, the boy clothed in black appeared from a large mass of fire. "Lord Sesshomaru!" he bellowed. "The one you sent me to kill, Inuyasha, is only a mere half demon like me" he scoffed. "I do not deem him to possess powers that can match my own" "Are you saying that you did not destroy him?" inquired Sesshomaru. "Or, you could not destroy him?" Sesshomaru mocked. "I would have had the chance if he had not drawn the Tetsusaiga!" the boy argued. "How very cleaver of you," said Sesshomaru turning his back to the boy. The boy grasped the handle of his own sword, but before he was able to draw it, Sesshomaru's sword was already at the boy's neck. "Come Hitokage. I have something else I want you to do for now" he commanded. "Yes my lord." Hitokage said, lowering his eyes in defeat.

Meanwhile in the Modern Era, Inuyasha and Kagome are busy in an attempt to try and find another jewel shard. "Do you still feel it?" Inuyasha asked. "No, I can't seem to feel it anymore" Kagome answered. As they continued their search, Inuyasha remembered something.

-Flashback- "So be it" Kikyo spat, as her soul-gatherers began to lift her off the ground. "Inuyasha you will regret it! Not even your precious Kagome can save you!" -End Flashback-

"What does she mean?" he thought. "Not even your precious Kagome can save you... is Kagome in danger? Or am I in danger?" "Argh, I'm thinking too much...I have to concentrate on finding that jewel shard" he muttered, shaking the thoughts from his head.

As Sesshomaru walked further into the forest, it became clear that it was immensely filled with various demons. On the other hand, Hitokage was attacking and killing every demon that came within his sight as Sesshomaru continued to walk calmly. "Master, is this the challenge you wanted me to accomplish?" asked Hitokage, slicing a demon head off, and quickly decapitated another that crept behind him. "Just keep doing it and you'll see" Sesshomaru ordered, not stopping to aid Hitokage. Slowly they continued to walk and the further they walked, Sesshomaru began to feel presence of both Naraku and Kagura. "Show yourself!" snarled Sesshomaru suddenly, clearing the trees around him. "We've been expecting you" Naraku leered. "But not him" Kagura said, motioning to Hitokage who stood a little further from Sesshomaru. "Deal with him" Naraku commanded. 'Gladly" Kagura smirked before yelling "Dance of the Dragons!". With a swift swing from her fan, multiple wind attacks charged towards a rather surprised Hitokage. "Breath of the Dying!" yelled Hitokage, thrusting his staff at the body of a deceased demon he had killed. Suddenly, the corpse sprang to life, jumping in front of Hitokage, taking in the full blow of Kagura's wind attacks. "Very impressive Sesshomaru, I can see why you acquired the young lad, you'll need the help you can muster" Naraku smiled. "We'll be leaving now, Kagura!" Naraku commanded. "I can take them on!" Kagura yelled back, fan clutched tight and ready to attack. "Now!" Naraku yelled once more, but this time, he tightened his hand around Kagura's heart. With that motion, Kagura found herself on the ground, grasping at her chest, panting hard. "Damn you" she muttered. With a swift movement from Naraku, both he and Kagura disappeared within a black cyclone of wind. "Cowards!" Hitokage yelled, scanning the skies in hopes of finding any trace of them. "Let it go Hitokage" Sesshomaru said simply, turning to walk in another direction. "We have other business to attend to"

Hours passed as the two kept treading through the forest, silence setting in between them. "Don't move," Sesshomaru said suddenly, motioning Hitokage to stop moving. Hitokage stopped at once, watching Sesshomaru cut several trees to reveal a woman clad in red and white. The woman and Sesshomaru stood there silently staring at each other until Hitokage broke the silence. "Who is this woman my lord? Should I destroy her?" he asked. "You don't stand a chance" Sesshomaru said narrowing his eyes. "Let me introduce myself" the woman began. "I know who you are!" Sesshomaru snapped. "Kikyo, the priestess who guarded the Shikon Jewel, the lover of Inuyasha" he mocked. "What did you come for?" he inquired. Kikyo laughed and then said, "I've come to gather forces to kill Inuyasha." As Hitokage stood there, remembering the name 'Inuyasha', the one he was ordered to kill but do not. "If Lord Sesshomaru says I don't stand a chance against this woman and this woman is gathering forces to kill Inuyasha, does that mean that Inuyasha is even stronger?" Hitokage pondered. "He looked weak when I first attacked him... and even more so when he kissed the mortal" "In any case, if Inuyasha is really that strong, I will train harder and guarantee his death will come by my very own hands" he smirked as he thought it over.

"I'm not interested," said Sesshomaru, breaking Hitokage's train of thought. "Why, I thought you would applaud such an offer for your brother's death?" Kikyo said. "Or do you cower at the sheer thought of him?" she sneered. "His death will come from my own hands. Others will not interfere" Sesshomaru shot back, retreating into the forest, Hitokage at his heels. "Fools, they won't be able to take Inuyasha on by themselves" Kikyo hissed as soon as the two were out of earshot. "They'll only meet their deaths sooner the day they encounter Inuyasha," she mumbled, walking away in search of Naraku's Castle.
