Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha
I have decided to start dedicating my fics. Starting now. I shall dedicate them by the most dedicated reader.
So this fic is dedicated to AnimeFreakSlayer.
Everyone watched with growing anxiousness as the smell got stronger and the noise got louder. Shippo clung to Kagome's arm, Inuyasha had the Tetsaiga drawn ready to use the Wind Scar, and Sesshoumaru had the Tokijin drawn ready to see exactly what he was up against.
I am the only hope. If I fail than the world is doomed, if I succeed than I am doomed. Doomed to live in a world I can barely stand. Doomed to live in a world filled with accusations against me Sesshoumaru thought. This world was not the one he wished to live in. These demons remember the world as it was in the feudal era. That is what they want. I do not blame them. I wish for the feudal era as well but too many creatures need this era to stay this way. Sesshoumaru realized his purpose; I am a guardian of demon legends. I am meant to protect a world that can not accept any sort of demons. He shook off this realization and remained focused on the task at hand. The demons were in sight. Where to begin describing such creatures?
These demons were as red as the fires of hell and more than likely as hot to the touch. Eyes fierce and burning. Such eyes could have the capability to bore into one's soul. Hands half the size of their body. Claws sharper than the Tetsaiga. Not a stitch of clothing did these demons wear. Not a bit could they wear. What would be the point? Demons that have come from the ground need not such a thing as clothes.
"That's them," Shippo fiercely whispered. Sesshoumaru glared at the demons that smirked at him.
"So you are meant to be our destroyer. You the one who's breath can freeze fire," one grinned a terrible grin. Fangs so crooked that Naraku seemed infinitely good. Sesshoumaru remained as emotionless as ever. Eyes glared daggers at the demons that dared harm the world that Rin's family lived on. "Not much of a talker are you?" the demon mistook Sesshoumaru's silent seething as fear.
"You misunderstand the simple emotions that I am capable of," Sesshoumaru answered, voice seeming to freeze in the air as he talked. The demons shuddered for a moment then laughed.
"You can not harm us," they laughed. Sesshoumaru blasted them with the Tokijin while they were laughing. Still they laughed. Not a mark was on them. Useless is the Tokijin he thought as he placed it back at his side and drew the Tensaiga. The life giving sword Sesshoumaru examined the age old blade the one that can not cut. They laughed still.
"We know of that sword. It can not cut. Such a useless weapon to bring along, if you can even call it a weapon," the demons laughed uproariously. The Tensaiga pulsed in Sesshoumaru's hand. It knew it's wieldier, it knew that Sesshoumaru had finally figured it out. The demons stopped laughing when they felt the pulse and stared in horror at the Tensaiga. The corner of Sesshoumaru's mouth quirked up and the demons fell into a cold sweat. Awaiting the attack.
The Tensaiga told Sesshoumaru what to do and of course Sesshoumaru did it. A wave of blue light hit the demons head on. Their cries of pain echoed through the decaying ruins. When the light faded, there was nothing. No demons, no decaying smell, no laughter.
"Are they dead?" Inuyasha asked walked cautiously over. Sesshoumaru sniffed the air.
"They ran. Like cowards. They will be back," Sesshoumaru sheathed the Tensaiga and turned to walk back to the west. All that could be done is wait for the demons to strike again. The rest turned and started to walk away as well. There was no point in staying in a place too dangerous to walk on.
At the west, Sesshoumaru sat in a chair in the Great Hall (I can't even remember where I got that) thinking. No one dared to bother the pondering demon lord. Inuyasha sat in the kitchen eating cake.
"Sure glad I don't have to be lord no more," he managed to get through between bites of cake. Little crumbs flying from his open mouth.
"Swallow before you talk," Suka scolded (Suka is in 'Accidental Love' for those of you who want to know what she looks like. She's not in the first chapter though). Inuyasha swallowed. Over the years he had learned not to argue with Suka. When mad, Suka was much more dangerous than Kagome's sit.
"I wonder what's on his mind," Kagome looked through a window at Sesshoumaru who hadn't even blinked since he sat down.
"That boy's got a lot to think about. He's a lord again and needs to get back into the routine. Not to mention he's got to guess where those demons will come up again," Suka placed the huge Roast in the oven. Today was a demon holiday of sorts and so everyone gathered to eat the feast the cooks prepared.
"Yea that's true. I mean when you think about it, we got Sesshoumaru at the worst possible time," Shippo commented.
"What do you mean?" Kagome asked, looking at Shippo.
"Well Sesshoumaru was in prison, he had learned to look out for only himself and not worry about anything else. Now he's got the entire world's fate resting on his shoulders. This isn't something he's used to and never was," Shippo explained.
"How can one so young be so smart?" Suka asked as she plopped a huge piece of cake in front of Shippo. Shippo gleamed with delight. Inuyasha was jealous because Shippo's piece was bigger than his own. "I reward intelligence Inuyasha, not rudeness," Suka told Inuyasha with her back to him. Inuyasha humphed and finished his piece of cake. Kagome had returned to looking at Sesshoumaru.
He looks to still, like a statue. How can anyone hold such a pose so long? She wondered. Demons to her were always fascinating no matter how long she was around them.
Hey. This is all I can post for now. I ran out words to put down. So bear with me. I have many things going on right now and depending on what the doc says tomorrow that amount will get bigger or smaller.
