Starting Out Fresh
Chapter 21:The War will Begin
'Kagome, I have received news that Ungoshimou is the demon declaring war with Inuyasha, and that the war will begin when the sun is at the highest in the Land of Blood. This land is located where all four lands intersect, but this land is owned by no one.'
Sesshomaru explained to her. They were in the garden, where the plants were all full of life.
Why is Inuyasha doing this? He doesn't seem to understand that I don't love him anymore. Why can't he accept this and just move on? He's probably doing it every night with his clay pot! Kagome thought. Sesshomaru went on speaking interrupting her thought.
'This is the place where my father meet his second love.' He said harshly. Kagome nodded and knew this was a place of sad memories for Sesshomaru.
'You have contacted Koga about this haven't you?' Kagome asked.
'Yes I was informed by one of his soliders about the news, and he said he would bring 10,000 warriors while I will bring the same amount. We are sure our opponents will not defeat us in this battle.' Kagome nodded.
'When will you leave for battle?'
'Tomorrow morning.' He said camly. Why is he taking this so calmly? Tomorrow is so close ! And what if—Kagome couldn't make herself think about that, unless she wanted to cry for hours instead of having her last few hours with him. She looked up at the cloudless sky. And to think that tomorrow there will be nothing but corpses and blood everywhere once the battle is over………… Kagome had seen plenty of corpses in the feudal era, but she still couldn't ignore it.
'I guess we should spend time together, because ………' Kagome couldn't stop the tears from coming down in her eyes. Sesshomaru held her close. He didn't want to see her face if she heard the news of him dying. He couldn't leave her to such sorrow.
'I don't want to see your tears. I know that I would rather die with you then before you.' He said to her. She smiled.
'I love you so much.'

'Jaken, I must leave now. If I don't, I will bring shame to my lands and my army.' Sesshomaru said, putting on his mask. Jaken nodded and scurried off to get Ah-Un ready for their journey. The army had already left, it would take them longer to get to their destination than it would take Sesshomaru alone. The sun was not up yet, but the castle was very far from the battleground. Sesshomaru went into Sesshomaru's and Kagome's room and found that she was tangled up in the sheets from their romantic night. She was sleeping soundly and Sesshomaru went to the bed and kissed her lightly on her forehead and left to see if Jaken had fulfilled his duties.
'Lord Sesshomaru, they are here.' Jaken pointed to the large dragon barely awake at the time. Sesshomaru jumped up on the dragon and set off to somewhere he knew would become a terrible place.
----------------------------0---------------------------0--------------------------------0----------------
'Glad that you are here, little brother.' Sesshomaru said , smirking. Ungoshimou, Inuyasha, Koga and Sesshomaru were all on the battle field with their armies. Sure enough, Koga brought his promised 10,000 soliders like Sesshomaru did. Sesshomaru's and Koga's army brought their land's flag waving in the air. Inuyasha growled.
'It's nice to see you too, and it will be even nicer to see you dead!' Inuyasha said, ordering his soliders to charge. Sesshomaru andKoga followed and the battle began.
------------------0------------------------------0----------------------------0------------------------
'It isn't over Sesshomaru!' Sesshomaru had that line playing over and over again ever since Inuyasha and Ungoshimou left with only a handful of an army still alive. The group of about 5,000 soliders Inuyasha brought was brought down to a pitiful 500. Sesshomaru looked and saw blood everywhere. Dying men were moaning and yelling about their friends next to them that were already dead.
'I think we should celebrate this battle victory. We shall have a feast at my castle.' Sesshomaru said. Koga smirked.
'I agree. We should celebrate.' Koga said. Sesshomaru hadn't thought about Koga trying to win Kagome because he knew that if he touched her, he wouldn't see the sun the next day. He also didn't know what a crazy dinner they were going to have.
