Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha!
Thanks to all of you who took the time to review. I really do enjoy reviews!
"The worlds in danger Kagome. I don't know any other way to put it," Inuyasha answered, "demons worse than any from the feudal era have woken up from being dormant beneath the ground."
"So demons that were asleep under the ground are now awake?" Kagome asked not quite believing what she was hearing.
"Yes and if something isn't done the world we know now won't be here," Shippo nodded he looked worried.
"Why haven't you two stopped the demons?" Kagome asked wondering why they needed her help.
"We have tried but neither of us is strong enough. We were only strong in feudal era because we had Sango and Miroku," Shippo answered, "We aren't strong divided we're only strong united."
"Well we're united now so let's go defeat those demons," Inuyasha didn't like where this conversation was heading.
"Inuyasha I don't think it works that way. We need Sango and Miroku and I know they aren't alive," Kagome looked down knowing they couldn't defeat the demons. Inuyasha and Shippo were silent.
"We need someone who was powerful without anyone else. We need someone who shows no mercy when it comes to a battle," Shippo thought out loud.
"Sounds like we need someone like Sesshoumaru," Inuyasha joked.
"You know Sesshoumaru might be able to do it," Kagome commented, nodding her head.
"I was kidding around. I didn't mean it," Inuyasha knew he didn't like where this conversation had headed.
"I know but still Sesshoumaru never needed anyone," Kagome smiled.
"Sesshoumaru has also disappeared completely. No one can find him. Inuyasha has had to watch Sesshoumaru's lands because no one can find him," Shippo commented.
Kagome remained silent, "why don't we just walk around and try to think of some place Sesshoumaru might be," Kagome suggested. Inuyasha fehed and Shippo nodded.
Now what was left of the Inu group was walking through the streets of Tokyo thinking of where someone like Sesshoumaru could disappear to. Shippo looked at a newspaper on the ground and saw Sesshoumaru's picture.
"I think I know where Sesshoumaru is," Shippo commented as he picked up the newspaper.
"Where is he then?" Inuyasha asked.
"In jail for the rest of his life," Shippo answered as he read the article on Sesshoumaru.
"Why is he in jail?" Kagome asked.
"'Sesshoumaru Takashiro was recently recaptured after escaping from his cell and killing ten guards. Sesshoumaru Takashiro now faces possible execution for his crimes.
One of his many crimes is murdering ten people each who he claims had tried to scam him. '" Shippo read from the article. Kagome and Inuyasha went pale.
"So the only person who can save us is the one person who won't want to?" Kagome asked.
"I guess so," Inuyasha knew his brother hated humans but to kill them in this era? His hatred had to be rooted very deep.
"What prison is he in?" Kaogme asked.
"The one outside of Tokyo," Shippo read.
"I guess then to the prison we go," Kagome sighed. Shippo and Inuyasha nodded and started making their way to the prison Sesshoumaru was in. By bus and then by taxi they made it.
"We're here to see Sesshoumaru Takashiro," Inuyasha told the prison guard at the door. The guard nodded and they walked in.
"You're serious? You want to see Sesshoumaru?" the guard inside was just shocked.
"Yes. You see I knew him before he got jailed and just recently found out he was in prison," Inuyasha answered. The guard simply nodded he was still stunned. He told other guards to get Sesshoumaru ready for visitors.
The Inu group walked into the visitor's area and on the other side of the mesh walked over someone they could hardly recognize. Sesshoumaru was dirty from head to toe and had many scars. His hair was its usual length but it was tangled and of course dirty. So dirty that was almost impossible to tell it was silver. Sesshoumaru's hands were on strong clasps in front of him. He had his usual stoic expression on. It scared everyone when he looked at them. He sat down in the chair opposite of Inuyasha and Kagome and Shippo.
The guards stayed very close to him, "you mind?" Sesshoumaru snapped at them. They pointed guns at him. "Oh yes. You and your guns. When will you pathetic creatures realize you can't shoot to kill me," Sesshoumaru growled. He never once looked at them.
"It's alright I doubt he'll be going far," Kagome assured the guards. The guards then ran to a safe distance.
"Well, you've done well for yourself Sesshoumaru," Inuyasha commented.
"Haven't I? In about two weeks these pathetic excuses for humans will have me walking down a hall to my execution. Or so they think," Sesshoumaru smirked.
"We sure we've gotten the right Sesshoumaru?" Shippo whispered to Kagome.
"I heard that. And you have every right to ask that. I've been here for a while. I doubt I have enough sanity left to be the way you remember me," Sesshoumaru leaned back in the chair.
"You defiantly look the part of the insane criminal," Inuyasha muttered.
"They won't let me bathe in privacy so I refuse to. I know I stink but I'm not bathing with a whole bunch of people watching me," Sesshoumaru moved his bangs from his face. The clasps on him were obviously hurting him and cutting his wrists up. "So mind telling me why you're here?" Sesshoumaru asked.
"Okay so here's the problem. Demons that have been dormant beneath the ground for thousands of years now have woken up and will destroy everything," Inuyasha answered.
"I should care why?" Sesshoumaru glanced over at a guard that had a gun pointed at him.
"It gets you out of jail and you get to save all humanity," Kagome answered.
"You see the part where I get out jail I like it's the part where I have to save all of humanity that bothers me," Sesshoumaru leaned forward and rested his the lower part of his arms on the small counter.
"You saw correctly on what Sesshoumaru would say to him being the only one who can save us," Shippo sighed.
"I doubt you would be ready to jump at the opportunity to save the same creatures that are going to try to kill me and have already imprisoned me here," Sesshoumaru put calmly to Shippo.
'No one can really blame him for not wanting to save the human race.' Kagome thought. "Sesshoumaru, if those demons win then the west and everyone dies. And I know Rin has descendants. Her descendants will die," Kagome stared right into Sesshoumaru's eyes. His once hard eyes softened but the only way to see it was if you looked closely.
"Very well. Get me out of here and I'll save humanity," he growled making it seem like he was doing them a big favor. Kagome smiled.
"How do we go about getting you out?" Inuyasha asked.
"Bail money," Sesshoumaru answered.
"Times up Sesshoumaru!" a guard yelled.
"You don't need to yell," Sesshoumaru commented. He stood up, "I don't know how much the bail is but the only way I'm any good is where I'm free." Sesshoumaru walked away. Inuyasha, Kagome, and Shippo got up and walked to the front desk and got how much it would cost to bail Sesshoumaru out of jail.
Inuyasha got the money from the western provinces many treasuries's and bailed Sesshoumaru out. Everyone was staring at the dirty and now slightly insane demon lord. Sesshoumaru breathed in the scent. He had smelt it before but not as a legally free person.
Back at Kagome's apartment
All waited for Sesshoumaru in the living room. He was in Kagome's bathroom showering, brushing out his hair and putting on the clean clothes they had bought for him. He walked out looking once more like the demon lord he was.
"Better?" Kagome asked.
"Much," he sat down in a chair. Using his own demon powers he had hid his crescent, stripes, claws, and pointed ears. His eyes he could do nothing about. "Now I do believe I should now what I am up against before heading off to destroy an ancient evil," Sesshoumaru commented.
That's it everyone! I hope you liked it. I am sorry for the way I spoke in the first chapter I was mad that everyone was just reading my fics and no one was reviewing. I will be nicer this time. I don't demand reviews but they would be nice. I'll post when I get an idea for the third chapter.
