Behind Amber Eyes

Chapter Four: Swords Of An Honorable Ruler

Summary: When the gang discovers a sphinx and save a village that's being haunted by its riddle, they see Sesshomaru and another young demon girl… but she isn't his lover. She's his sister… so what does Inuyasha know about her! But then, suddenly, something threatens to kill ALL… and so Sesshomaru and Inuyasha team up to destroy that thing… but everything has a price. Supposed to be the third movie.

Disclaimer: Hikari Daeron doesn't own Inuyasha or any of its movies. The title of this chapter is the title of the third movie. Sounga is also in that movie. She does own Koseina, though.


They silently walked along, Sesshomaru not giving Inuyasha a glance. Rin and Jaken silently wondered why Lord Sesshomaru was with Inuyasha and his friends. Kagome and Shippo looked at each other uneasily, and Sango slapped Miroku for his groping hands.

Finally, Koseina stopped and pointed. Her brothers followed her gaze and Inuyasha's moth dropped. There, in the middle of the valley, was a tree, and, around it, was a huge pink bubble with something in the middle. The bubble kept pulsing, and as the three approached, it pulsed faster.

"It is Sounga," said Koseina simply. "The wrath-filled sword. You each inherited a sword from our father – the last one was entrusted to me to protect. It's too dangerous, too powerful."

Inuyasha glanced over at Sesshomaru, who was staring at the sword with a hungry desire in his eyes. He made a mental note to get to it before his brother did.

Spinning, Inuyasha called to his friends. They walked over tentatively, but Kagome immediately snapped to attention when she saw Inuyasha's hand sneak over to the bubble. "SIT!"

He crashed down. "What was that for?" he said irritably, as Sesshomaru shook his head ever so slightly.

"You know very well what for," she snapped.

Koseina smiled. "It doesn't matter. Only a mortal human can go touch it while it is in this bubble." She laid a hand on the bubble, which fizzed and enveloped her hand. She looked once more at her brothers. "I will go back into my stupor briefly. But, I fear, that you will clash again, over the sword. When you do, I shall come back again." And she walked into the bubble. She was cross-legged, eyes closed, and in a trance.

The brothers turned to each other once more. "You won't be able to get the sword," sneered Inuyasha.

"Fool. I have my ways," said Sesshomaru. "Come, Rin, Jaken. Let's leave the half-breed and his foolish friends."

Inuyasha drew the Tetsusaiga and threw it down in Sesshomaru's path. He paused, and Inuyasha walked up and retrieved his sword. Holding it in front of him, he said, "You're not going anywhere."

Sesshomaru calmly drew Tokjin. "A fight, then?"

The sky grew dark and gray clouds rolled in. A harsh wind started up.

Inuyasha smirked. Sesshomaru stood, unmoving, and said, "Come at me, then."

Inuyasha paused, and then charged…
