I'M SO SORRY! FORGIVE ME!
I'm sorry for not updating but it's not my fault my parents kept on sending me away! FAR AWAY! To places with no computers! Oh it was so very scary!
But now that I've recuperated! I have a new chap!
Disclaimer: I'm lazy so I don't own any thing other than Sesshy, Bob, Bobby, Shiko and the world... and the hair on my back
Chapter three: the truth
Shiko jumped up and gave a little twist around and swung her blade, she aimed for his ribs, and he dogged it. "I'm telling you I did not such thing" Sesshomaru seethed, he had to admit she was strong, he was having trouble blocking. "Liar! You sent those men after my family, I don't know why but I know it was you!" She swung her mighty blade once more he deflected it.
Sesshomaru swung Tokijin, she jumped over the attack with ease. Sesshomaru was getting fed up; he needed to get that sword out of her grasp, he sent a blast of demonic energy at her, She placed her sword in front of her body and put up a barrier, it blocked the attack and sent it flying back at him; only instead of his energy it was hers.
Sesshomaru ran to the side and just missed getting blasted by his own attack, he didn't expect what happened next. She swung around and kicked him, he went flying ten feet and into a tree; he got up and went after her again, she couldn't move in time and he sent more demonic energy at her. She got hit full on; her body went limp in the air.
The dust cleared to reveal a bloody body lying in the middle of a miniature crater. Shiko started to get, it looked like her leg was broken and she had numerous cuts all over her body. She stood to her full height and lifted her sword, she looked about ready to collapse yet she was still going to fight, Sesshomaru looked at her with cold unfazed eyes.
"Interesting, still standing?" he asked, furry was burning in her eyes. "I will live as long as you breathe" she stated, her voice as cold as winter in the artic. Sesshomaru lifted Tokijin and sent another attack at her, Shiko saw this; a huge burst of energy surrounded her bloody form. Sesshomaru watched as the energy disappeared; there stood Shiko, her true form revealed, she was an angle of fire.
Her wings were stained red, her hair was out of the pony she had put it in and she was wearing a long red dress, her eyes opend to reveal red pupils. "So this is your true form" Sesshomaru said, few fire demons could turn into an angelic form. She sneered, "One of them" she replied, she took a step forward and readied her sword.
"I highly doubt you will be able to fight for much longer" Sesshomaru said, Shiko growled; she sent a blast of what seemed to be fire. Sesshomaru dogged it and sent a huge blast of energy. Shiko's eyes widened, she couldn't block or doge it, she flung her wings in front of her body. The attack came, Sesshomaru watched as a figure fell from the sky.
She got up again one of her wings were broken and her hair was sticking to her face. Sesshomaru sighed, he wasn't going to fight her in this condition, he put Tokijin through his belt and turned around and started to walk towards his car. "Why are you leaving, we aren't finished" Shiko said while standing up.
"I will not fight you in such a state" was all he said before leaving, Shiko cried, she was so close, why did she let her anger get to her? She started to limp back to the hotel; her wings disappeared. She was walking all alone, her body was aching, from what she could tell, her leg was broken, two of her ribs were broken, her arm was broken and she had gashes all over her body.
She finally got to the hotel, she pushed open the doors, a gust of dizziness hit her and she collapsed, the last thing she heard was Sango calling her name, then she passed out.
Sesshomaru got out of his car; he had to admit she was strong, stronger than any one he had ever fought. 'So Shiko, you are a fire angel, interesting, that would be the reason for your strength' Sesshomaru though to himself, he walked up to his front door. When he opened it he was attacked by a ball of pink lace; Rin.
"Lord Sesshomaru! Where have you been?" asked the little girl, she had tears in her eyes. "I was out" he said while getting up, Rin crawled off his body then looked at her hands; there was blood on them. "Milord! You are bleeding" said Rin, Sesshomaru looked down at his stomach it was true he was bleeding; he didn't even notice.
"I'm fine" He said as he walked away, Rin staired at her lord; some thing was wrong. Sesshomaru walked to his room; he needed to sleep, he had underestimated Shiko, she had given him a wound and he didn't even notice. When he got in to his room he fell directly on his bed, one thought going through his head, was she still alive?
Shiko awoke to find her self in a room, and not just any room her room, she sat up and felt a shock of pain shoot up her body and laid back down. "H-how did I end up here?" she asked, mainly to her self, well and answer came. "You collapsed from severe blood loss" Sango said while steeping out of the bathroom, Shiko calmed down a bit.
"So, if you would be so kind as to tell me how you got these" Sango said, pointing to a nearly healed gash. "Sigh' long story short, I got into a fight with the fuck I've been hunting" Shiko said, Sango nodded. "You should be healed in less than a day, if I'm correct" Sango looked to Shiko, who gave her a questioning look. "You don't have to hid the truth, Kohaku told me what you are" said Sango, Shiko glared at her closet. "Well if the cats out of the bag, you can come out now traitor" said Shiko, the closet door opened and Kohaku walked out.
"Uh hehehe, I guess I'm busted" Kohaku said while scratching his head, Shiko glared at him again. "So Shiko who were you fighting?" asked Kohaku with a 'oh my god I've finally gotten to meet my hero' face. "I don't think you want to know" she replied with a sighed. "Why, is he that bad?" asked Sango who took off some of Shiko's bandages.
"I just really don't want to talk about it" Sango and Kohaku nodded there heads in understanding. " Well all the bandages are off, you should be able to get up, but I don't leave the room okay, I'll come back later" Sango said, her and Kohaku left Shiko alone. "What to do what to do?" she thought to her self.
Sesshomaru awoke to the sun in his face and his brothers face. "What are you doing here" Sesshomaru asked in and earitated way. " My niece called this morning, saying that Sesshomaru-sama was hurt. So will you tell me what happened or do I have to anoy you to death to get it out?" asked Inuyasha, holding up a cup of coffee in front of Sesshomaru's face; it was black.
"What time is it?" asked Sesshomaru, he took the cup of coffee from Inuyasha's grasp. Inuyasha looked at his watch, "Eleven" he said, Inuyasha walked over to the blinds and opened them, Sesshomaru squinted; the sun was a little to bright for his liking. "What day is it again?" asked Sesshomaru, Inuyasha sighed and shook his head.
"It's Saturday, and your changing the subject" Inuyasha stated, Sesshomaru gave him a look that would send hell hounds running. "Wow, your giving me the 'I'm all big and mighty and I'm about to kick your ass' look" Inuyasha all but laughed, Sesshomaru glared. "Okay touchy, all I wanted to know is what hurt you?" Inuyasha said.
Sesshomaru took another sip of coffee, "I was attacked by thugs" Sesshomaru replied, Inuyasha leaned down to Sesshomaru's eye level. "Liar, no thug could do that to you. It was her wasn't it?" Inuyasha asked, Sesshomaru sighed. "She is stronger than I thought, first off all the rumors are true, and second she inflicted a wound I didn't even see" Sesshomaru motioned to a gash across his stomach.
"Ouch, she cut you and you didn't even notice? She must have poisoned you, this would be highly deadly if you didn't have your own poison running through your veins" said Inuyasha smartly, Sesshomaru looked up at his little brother and put a hand on his forehead; he put down the coffee . "Are you alright" asked Sesshomaru, "Of course I am, why are you asking?" asked Inuyasha, "Because you just sounded smart" Sesshomaru said with a grin, it took Inuyasha a few moments to realize, he got burned. "Oh shut up!" Inuyasha said while throwing a pillow at his now laughing older brother.
"So Sesshomaru, where is this infamous Shiko now?" asked Inuyasha, Sesshomaru shrugged. "I don't know" said Sesshomaru, Inuyasha look astonished. "You mean you let her go?" asked Inuyasha, Sesshomaru nodded. "Why?" Inuyasha asked, "Because, never in all my life have I ever seen any one with so much anger directed at me, I was fairly afraid at what she might do, you know what she said, she said that as long as I breath she will live, and I believe that is true" Sesshomaru said.
"Why would you be afraid? I highly doubt that she survived, even if she did survived a blast of pure energy from Tokijin full on, no one could live through it two times in less than ten second" said Inuyasha, Sesshomaru sighed. "Inuyasha, she is of royal blood, she could turn into an angel of fire, and I don't think that was her last form, her sword I remember reading on it once, it is one of the four elemental blades" Sesshomaru said.
"She can't be that strong" said Inuyasha, Sesshomaru shook his head. "She is stronger that you could ever imagine, the power that she has hidden in her heart could destroy the world, in legend fire is the strongest element, it can burn the earth, it can contaminate the air, and if hot enough it can vaporize water, I don't even think she knows her own power" said Sesshomaru. "Well then we have to find her" said Inuyasha, "It won't be that easy, she has put a spell on her blood, we won't be able to smell it" said Sesshomaru.
"Ah dear brother you have yet to discover the wonders of technology" Inuyasha said while puling out a small device. "What is it?" asked Sesshomaru, Inuyasha shrugged. "Oh it's a D.N.A tracker, I made it, it should be able to find out the exacted location of the person through there blood" said Inuyasha proudly, Sesshomaru blinked; he was a little astonished his brother could do that. " So I need some of her blood, where is Tokijin?" Asked Inuyasha, Sesshomaru pointed to a corner.
Inuyasha walked over to the sword, there was dried blood on it , he pulled out of his pocket a q-tip and wiped some of the blood off, he put the q-tip in a little slot on the side of the screen and waited, all of a sudden a map appeared on the screen and a little light was blinking at a place. "She seems to be staying at the exterminator hotel" said Inuyasha.
Sesshomaru and Inuyasha left the mansion and got into Sesshomaru's car and took off. "This machine of yours better of work" said Sesshomaru, keeping his eyes on the road. "Of course it will, I've used it before" Inuyasha said and crossed his arms, Sesshomaru glanced to his little brother, he hadn't changed at all, still the little stubborn brat, good, if he had changed Sesshomaru would have killed him.
Shiko was walking in circles in her room, she was so bored, this is why she hated to get hurt, she wanted to run through the wind, she wanted to leave the small room she was in; well for her it was small or course it was one of the biggest rooms in the entire hotel. " There is nothing on the TV, and I can't leave the room!" she fell on the bed. "Well I might as well make some thing to eat" she got up and walked to the kitchen.
"Let's see what Sango left for me?" she started to rummage through the cupboards, she found some crackers and ate those. She sat down with the crackers, she was sitting peacefully until her door burst open, she froze, and turned around, half a cracker sticking out of her mouth. She quickly ate the cracker and screamed.
Sesshomaru and Inuyasha had finally made it to the hotel, they walked through the doors and over to the front desk. "Hello" Said Sango, "Welcome to the exterminator, how may I help you?" asked Sango. "We were wondering if there is a Shiko staying here?" asked Inuyasha, Sango pretended to type on her computer. "No I'm sorry no one is staying here by that name" she said.
"Are you sure? Asked Inuyasha, Sango nodded. "Sigh' I guess we were wrong" said Inuyasha, Sesshomaru lifted one of his eye brows. "We?" he asked to Inuyasha, he glared at Sesshomaru. The two brothers were leaving the hotel when they heard a loud scream, Sesshomaru recodnized that, it was Shiko.
He ran in the direction of the scream, Inuyasha and Sango followed.
When he got there Shiko was being choked by a woman with long blue hair, Shiko shifted her eyes to the door and saw Sesshomaru. 'D-don't' she whispered, Sesshomaru understood, but why would she want to protect him? Inuyasha and Sango came bursting into the room, Sesshomaru stopped them from going any further.
"She said to stay put" Sesshomaru said, Sango looked at Shiko, her eyes widened and she started to shake, Sesshomaru noticed the Change in Sango and look to Shiko, her eyes were glowing red and her fangs were seeping out of her mouth, her hair was moving like fire. Shiko lifted her hand and sent the woman flying across the room, she got up and walked over to her, "How dare you! First you blame Sesshomaru for my parents death then you attack me over and over, and now you come after me and risk the chance of hurting my friends!" Shiko yelled.
Shiko bent down and picked up the woman by her neck, the woman clawed at her hand. "Leave Usiga, and don't return" she dropped her, Usiga disappeared in a hurricane of water. Shiko turned to the others, her features turned normal again. "I, I" she couldn't say any thing, she just dropped to the floor and cried.
Sango took a step forward to go to Shiko, but Sesshomaru beat her. He walked up to her shaking form and kneeled down, he pulled her into a hug. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you, I'm sorry, I didn't want to hurt any one" she mumbled, Sesshomaru just held her as she cried.
Yah so that's all for now, please review!
