Chapter two: Shiko seeks revenge
Shiko awoke sweating; her dreams were no place for a sanctuary from memories of her horrible past, she hoped that by killing the man responsible she would be able to rid her self of the heart break of seeing her family dieing in front of her eyes once more.
She got out of her messy bed and walked on to the balcony, nearly tripping on her blade, it had no life, it was metal, and it did not have to deal with emotions, some days she wished that she was like her blade, emotionless, yes it did have a heart, but it was still a peace of metal, alive by her strength.
Shiko opened the screen with ease, she took a step into the cool night, some days she thought about jumping, just ending her existence, who would care? She had no family, some one would probably remember her from some were, but never her name, perhaps that girl, Kagome would remember her, but that was very rare.
She was sitting in a chair that was conveniently already there, if she lived for another year she would have to return to this hotel, it was very nice. Shiko had her knees nudged under her chin, she was looking at the bright lights of this incredible city, she had two silent tears running down her cheeks, only one thought ran through her mind, 'I will get my revenge, no mater what'.
Sesshomaru
Sesshomaru was training under the light of the moon, he was extremely concentrated, all ready he had nearly slaughtered two of his own men, he was furious that his best had not yet even found this woman, but he had found some information on her.
Flashback
Sesshomaru sitting in his desk when his phone rung. "Yes" he asked, "Mr. Taisho, your brother is here to see you" came the voice of his recent secretary, "Send him in" Sesshomaru hung up the phone, only for the door to be swung open.
"Sesshomaru, I have worked my but off to find you this information, so you had better be grateful!" a man around sixteen, long silver hair, amber eyes and two dog ears on his head said. "Nice to see you to Inuyasha" Sesshomaru said, Inuyasha huffed.
Inuyasha through a folder on his desk, it went thump when it landed, Sesshomaru looked at it for a moment like it was going to attack him, then reluctantly picked it up, and opened it.
Sesshomaru looked over the information, then sighed and put the folder down. "This is all the information that you have managed to find?" asked Sesshomaru, the folder contained barely anything; it had a small report, a very blurry picture of a woman with long rich red and black hair and a piece of material with a flame surrounded silver four point star.
Sesshomaru picked up the piece of cloth, and examined it, then put it down; Inuyasha came walking up to the desk. "I know it's not a lot, but it' all I can find on her, she has sealed up all possible leaks and she is like a ghost, were ever she shows up, she hits fast and never fucks up, then leaves, leaving no trace that she was ever there" Inuyasha sighed, and sat down in the chair in front of Sesshomaru's desk.
Sesshomaru looked over the file again, Inuyasha sighed again. "I'll tell you what, since you're my brother and all, I'll look over it again, see what more I can find" Inuyasha stood up. "No, I need you to tell me what this stands for" Sesshomaru handed Inuyasha the material, Inuyasha took it and examined it, then gave it back to Sesshomaru. "I would say it is a crest of some sort, by the looks of it, she must be a demon lord or some one very important" Inuyasha said one last farewell to Sesshomaru then left his office.
End flashback
Sesshomaru put his sword down, and sat cross legged on the grassy ground, he needed to meditate, or his true for would emerge, and all who have seen it would have know he is not very friendly in that form, well he is not very friendly in his normal form ether.
'So a demon lord, of though? She does not own any land that I know of, she has to be some sort of former lord, but why would she come after me?' Sesshomaru rubbed his temples then got up, picked up his sword and left the area.
Shiko
Shiko got out of the shower, her long red and black hair dripping with water, a towel around her waist. She went to her closet and pulled out a pair of black knee high boots a black mini-skirt and a white blouse.
She then went up to her sword and latched it onto her back and grabbed a long black jacket. Shiko headed to the door, she gave the room one last look then walked out, on her way out Shiko bumped into some one, she turned around to see Sango, dressed in a similar suit as before.
"Hello, Ms. Shiko how was your night?" asked the girl, Shiko gave her a warm smile. "It was fine, thank you" Shiko walked past Sango, and down the hall.
The night before Shiko didn't notice the exterminator getups in cases on the walls, she stopped at one, it was made for a young woman, it looked like it would fit Sango perfectly, Shiko wondered how old these truly were, and every one knows that there are still demon exterminators around.
Shiko looked away from the uniform and continued walking, she finally reached the sliding door, she pushed it open and left into the streets of Tokyo.
Shiko walked through the streets, looking at shops, enjoying her time when she saw a horrible sight, a bunch of guys beating on a little boy, and he was so cut, he had orange hair and he was very small.
Shiko walked through the circle of people, she stopped in front to see there were two young boys being beaten by around five teens, Shiko snapped with furry. "Hey, pigs why don't you leave these kid alone and fight some one your own size!" yelled Shiko.
The five teens looked up at Shiko; she gave them a good glare. "What did you say bitch?" Shiko moved faster than any one could see and grabbed the boy's throat; she then pulled his head up to her and whispered in his ear. "I'm sure you are not a demon, so I highly suggest that you don't call me a bitch or else I will get mad and have to hurt you" Shiko dropped the trembling boy, him and the other four teens ran away.
Shiko walked up to the two scared boys and kneeled down to there height. "Are you to okay?" she asked, the two boys nodded. "My name is Shiko, what about you?" the smaller one was the first to talk. "My name is Shippo!" said the boys with a lot of enthusiasm; Shiko looked at the other boy. "My name is Kohaku" the boy said timidly.
Shiko stood up, and looked down at the boys. "Well were do you two live?" she asked, the boys pointed in different directions, Shiko sighed. "So you both live on the other sides of town?" she asked, they nodded. "Well then we had better get going.
Sesshomaru
Sesshomaru was asleep, he was tiered and he needed rest, but the only thing that could ever annoy him enough to wake him happened to walk into the room. "MILORD!" Jaken came running into the room, Sesshomaru grabbed onto the toad's throat and through him out the window, then fell back to sleep.
An hour later Sesshomaru woke up again and went to his window, he was happy to see that there was a hole in the grass in the shape of Jaken; unfortunately for him that toad would not die.
Sesshomaru left the room only to be attacked once more by Jaken. "Milord, there is new news about Shiko!" Sesshomaru gave Jaken a look. "Who is Shiko?" asked Sesshomaru, Jaken gave him a file. "Your brother dropped it off this morning, the woman's name is Shiko!" yelled Jaken, Sesshomaru looked at the file and at the picture of a beautiful girl smiling.
Sesshomaru closed the file and looked at Jaken. "So she is a bounty hunter" asked Sesshomaru, Jaken nodded. "Yes milord, that was the reason we could not find very much information, we were searching for an assassin" yelled Jaken, Sesshomaru opened the file again, and picked up the picture. "Shiko, why are you after me?" Sesshomaru asked.
Shiko
Shiko, Shippo and Kohaku walked through the streets of Tokyo; Shiko was starting to wonder if they were leading her into an appending doom or just taking the long way.
"So are you sure this is the way to your houses?" asked Shiko, the boys nodded with two big grins on there faces, Shiko looked at them with curiosity. "Okay, if you are sure?" the boys turned back to look at her and grinned again.
The boys stopped in front of a very familiar shrine, it was the shrine from the other day. "You live here?" asked Shiko, Shippo nodded. "Yep, my adopted mother lives here" said Shippo, Shiko walked up the steps, or more or less floated.
The boys ran up the steps after Shiko. Shiko abruptly stopped, it was the shrine from yesterday, there was the god tree, and the little hidden well. Shiko walked through to the tree and touched it; the last time she was here she didn't notice the strange aura of the place.
The boys noticed the strange aura emitting from Shiko, it was a powerful aura, but it had no evil energy coming from it. "You're a miko" said Kohaku, Shiko turned to the boy. "No I'm not, I have had a friend who was a miko, but that is all" Shiko said, Kohaku shook his head. "You aura is to strong for it just to be left over, you are some thing very strong" said Kohaku, Shippo nodded his head in agreement.
"Well you have been trained very well, young slayer and kitsune" Shiko said, the boy's eyes widened. "How did you know?" Asked Shippo, Shiko walked up to the boys, her arm trailing off the tree.
"I can feel the power coming from your auras" She said, the boys looked a little worried. "Please don't tell any one" said Kohaku, Shiko sighed for what seemed like the tenth time that day. "Well I'll tell you what, I have a little secret for you two to keep, I'm a fire demon" the two boy's eye's widened.
"But how can that be? Your aura is so pure?" asked Shippo, Shiko gave him a questioning look. "You have never met a pure demon before me?" she asked, the two of them nodded. "Well I guess there is a first for every thing" Shiko said.
Sesshomaru
Sesshomaru was walking; no actually he was walking in circles. 'Who and why is she after me? Where does she come from, if she is a bounty hunter than no one could have hired her, and from what I know there is no bounty on my head, so why is she after me?' Sesshomaru didn't notice the figure watching him.
'Some thing is wrong with lord Sesshomaru, but he is not telling Rin? Why?' Rin thought, she headed to his office. When she got to the doors she pushed them open with her little hands, and entered.
Rin walked up to his desk and saw a file; she opened it up and saw the picture of Shiko. Rin picked up the picture and looked it over, 'why does lord Sesshomaru have a picture of a pretty lady?' Rin thought to her self.
Rin put the picture down and started to read the report, yes Rin could read living with Sesshomaru caused your scholastic level to excel. Rin read the file then put it down.
She then put the picture back into it and left the room, one thought going thought her mind, 'Why does lord Sesshomaru have all that information on a bounty hunter?'
Sesshomaru got out of the room, he needed some time alone, he walked out of his mansion, and got into his car. He stayed there for a minute just looking at the steering weal, he finally started the car and left.
Shiko
Shiko had left Shippo and was now taking Kohaku home; they walked silently the entire trip. Shiko was shocked to see the boy lived at the hotel she was staying at.
"You live here?" she asked, he nodded his head. "Funny I'm staying here" she said, the boy smiled. "Well I guess I will be seeing more of you" said Shiko and smiled at the boy.
The two entered the entrance only to be attacked by Sango. "Kohaku! Where have you been?" asked/ yelled Sango, Kohaku looked down. "He was with me, some guys were trying to hurt him, but we gave them a good scare" Shiko said, Kohaku gave her a thankful face.
"Oh Ms. Shiko, I'm so sorry for the trouble" said Sango, Shiko waved it off. "It's all right, he was nice company and he showed me around the city" Shiko said and winked at Kohaku.
"Well I must be going" Shiko ran out of the hotel waving. "She is one odd human" said Sango, Kohaku shook his head. "No sister not human, Demon" Sango looked down at her brother.
Shiko was walking all around Tokyo when she found a little park, she stopped there. She sat down on one of the two swings that were there.
Sesshomaru
Sesshomaru was driving to one place that he could think, no one ever came after dark, he liked it there because it was always full of life, and he was almost to the park.
When he got to the small parking lot, he parked his car and got out. He took a deep breath of fresh air, he walked into the park, he saw a figure sitting on the swing, as he got closer the figure got less and less blurry, finally when he could see who it was, he stopped dead in his tracks.
It was the person who caused all his stress lately, the one who killed all his best men and destroyed one of his biggest basses, and there she was, just sitting there swinging lightly, not a care in the world.
Shiko
Shiko felt some one watching her, she new some one was but she didn't want to look up, she new it would pain her to much, but she looked up any way, and there stood the man who killed her family and caused all her pain, just standing there looking at her.
Shiko got off the swing, and to her surprise he took a step forward, she really looked at him, she new he was handsome, every one she met, well every girl she met said that he was to die for, standing in the light of the moon he looked perfect.
Shiko took her eyes off him and looked at the ground, tears stinging her eyes, she looked up and this time to Sesshomaru's surprise she had tears flowing from her eyes. "YOU BASTARD!" that caused Sesshomaru to step back, she was crying and she looked like she was in pain.
Sesshomaru
When she got off the swing Sesshomaru thought she was beautiful, her hair was blowing in the wind that suddenly started, she was perfect to him, and this heavenly creature killed all of those great warriors.
Sesshomaru stayed looking at her, she did some thing a little strange, she looked away, but even more strange was how fast her head shot up again, it startled him, and he looked at her face and saw tears rolling down her cheeks.
"YOU BASTARD" The girl yelled at him, why? She was the one who killed all his people and she thinks she has the right to say that to him, he was going to say some thing but the look on her face was not of anger, it was of sadness, she looked like some one had just shoved a dagger through her heart and she still had life left in her body.
Both
She tried to keep her self from crying, but she couldn't she broke down, she had more and more tears coming, and her shoulders started to move, her mind played what happened over again.
Sesshomaru saw the pain in her eyes, she looked so sad; he had never seen any one with so much pain in her eyes. "Why do you cry?" he asked, she looked at him and started into his eyes with such intensity that it seemed that she was burning a hole in his very soul.
"You should know Bastard!" she said in a cold voice, he was taken back by her voice. "I'm sorry but if I knew I would not be asking you" he said, she glared at him. "Well then let me re-jog your memory, Four hundred and eighty years ago you sent your men to kill a human family! My adoptive family!" she yelled, Sesshomaru stared at her, he had done no such thing.
"I'm sorry but I have done no such thing" he said, she growled, and not just some human trying to growl, she really did growl. "You lie!" she pulled a piece of cloth out of her pocket and threw it at his feet, it was his crest. "Does it look familiar, I took it off of one of the men who killed my family!" she said.
Sesshomaru picked up the cloth, it was his, there was no mistaking it, but the one thing that puzzled him was that he had never in his life ever sent any of his soldiers after a human family.
"I have never sent any one after a human family ever, one of the men must have been a former soldier of mine" he said calmly, red started to seep into her eyes, Sesshomaru knew she was a demon, he wanted to see what put fear in the eyes of his fearless soldiers.
Shiko took off her jacket to reveal a well toned female form, she pulled a sword from off her back, Sesshomaru knew where this was going, and he summoned his sword as well.
Sesshomaru witnessed her eyes transform into pure red and her sword into fire, he now found the reason all his men feared her, she was a hell princess. He set up to attack, as did she, and the battle started.
Okay I've got three thousand words! Yep so happy happy!
