"Shut up, Sesshomaru! "Inuyasha growled towards him.
Alyssa blinked a moment, glancing at Inuyasha, then looking back at Sesshomaru with a more eased tone, the name clicking in her mind.
'Oh that's him. The one Kim is so obsessed with. Wait...Kim...Sesshomaru...Oh no.'
Alyssa looked over at Kim, a second too late as the girl commensed with screaming her lungs out.
Sesshomaru held in a little smirk at what he thought were screams of fear. Boy, was he in for a surprise.
The group looked at her with confusion, Alyssa burying her face in her hands as if to hide her presence. Her cousin was just too embarrassing. The whole time Kim screamed, Alyssa's heart dropped more and more. Her cousin had said she could keep it cool as long as they didn't run into Sesshomaru, but of course here he is no more than a hour later. She could only think three words. God. Damn. Animes.
Finally Kim's screaming stopped.
"Kim-chan, are you o-?" Kagome was about to ask with a concerned gesture, but got wide brown eyes when she saw empty space where Kim had been standing. All she saw was Alyssa, now rubbing her forehead while grumbling something unintelligible. The raven haired girl looked confused, her eyes darting around for the missing Kim and gasping when she saw the red head standing in front of Sesshomaru. Kim looked as if she was in the presence of some magnificent god. Her eyes were wide and sparkling blue, her mouth gaped widely open though they could not see that since her hands covered her lips. Her expression could be concluded in one word. Awe.
"Oh... my... god... you're... you're... YOU'RE SESSHOMARU!" She exclaimed while one hand unclasped from around her mouth, pointing at Sesshomaru. The demon just stared down at her with a slight glare. Why did this human think he didn't already know who he was? Bothersome humans.
"Get away from me, baka." Sesshomaru ordered calmly, taking his eyes off the human and looking back towards Inuyasha. He had to glance down though when he could sense the emotions flooding from Kim, her heart pounding quickly as she wrapped her arms around her shoulders to give herself a big hug.
"He called me a baka!" She said in a dreamy tone, her eyes deep and sparkling even more. It was as if that was the best thing anyone had ever called her, though Sesshomaru's voice had ways to make anything seem frickin amazing. Sesshomaru glared more intensely at her. This was becoming an annoyance. He had considered killing her right there, but she didn't seem worth his energy.
"Yes I did, now be gone." Sesshomaru demanded in his ice tone. But Kim didn't listen. She just stood there, staring at her godly god dude. She could barely understand the emotions churning with in her. Even as Sesshomaru just stood there, giving her a look that could freeze her heart. She wasn't phased by it though. He could freeze her heart any day. And Sesshomaru seemed to notice how completely NOT terrified she was.
'It seems shes more excited about me than afraid. Truely must be an idiot.'
"Go away, wench. I have no need to waste my time fighting a weak little human like you." His words were just mumbled like Charlie Brown's school teachers as Kim lost all focus on him. Which was an amazing thing, considering there was only one thing that could distract Kim while Sesshomaru was standing right in front of her. Her eyes were glues to the fluff wrapped around his arm.
And it was indeed, the fluff. The fluff millions of fan girls dreamt about. The fluff that brought so much controversy and brought about the question, tail or no tail? Either way, Kim could nearly feel it wrapped around her. Her skin itched, wanting to feel it's softness against her nerves. Her face lost admiration and got a new sense of need, needing to touch the fluff.
'I can't help it. This might be my only chance. The one chance I get to find out what that thing really is.'
"What the heck does she think she's doing?" Inuyasha asked with confusion in his voice, though at the same time frustration. He never trusted his half brother around humans, especially ones that seemed to like pushing buttons like Kim did. Everyone looked even more shocked and nervous, all except Sesshomaru of course, as Kim's hand reached out and slowly drifted towards the fluff. And though Sesshomaru's face showed now reaction, he had noticed this.
'What is she doing? Damn humans.'
Sesshomaru had enough of this nonsense. Swiftly he lifted his hand and wrapped his long claws around Kim's wrist, stopping it just before her fingers could brush the fluff. Kim blinked for a moment, as if confused, before she felt a tug on her arm. Sesshomaru suddenly hoisted her up, dangling her in the air by her wrist. He glared at her as Kim just stared up at where his hand clenched her wrist, her mouth slowly opening with awe again.
'Oh my god...Sesshomaru is touching my hand...kinda...this is the best ever!'
Sesshomaru had been waiting for her face into turn into something else. Fear, anger, anything else. But instead her eyes sparkled up at where he held her wrist, her face beaming with excitement just at his mere touch.
'It's as if she worships this Sesshomaru...'
What a fool she was. People should not worship Sesshomaru, they should fear him. So where the hell were all these tag along worshipers coming from? And this one didn't even have an excuse. She was human, she should of been sickened by the things he'd done to her race. He was positive he hadn't met her before either. There was nothing familiar about her unique lemon scent.
He decided he didn't want to kill this human. It would just get Inuyasha and the others blabbering, which would untimately be a pain in Sesshomaru's ears. Besides, she didn't seem against him. He couldn't punish her for having amazing taste in people. Though he still wondered what he had done to earn this kind of reaction from her. But at the same time, he didn't care.
'I will most likely find out later. For now, there is no more use to this.'
Kim's eyes went a little alarmed as Sesshomaru let go of her wrist, looking back to Inuyasha as she fell to the ground with an 'oof'. She had landed on her back, sitting up and rubbing her butt while pouting. Sesshomaru didn't even give her another thought before walking around her, not wanting to waste any more of his precious time. His golden eyes were now on Inuyasha, watching as the hanyou growled. Though he could feel the relief coming from Inuyasha when he glanced at Kim, seeing she was unharmed despite the disappointment of Sesshomaru now ignoring her.
"Well, Inuyasha, are you ready to hand over the Tensagia? Or will you give up your life for nothing?" Sesshomaru cold voice asked through the air, making Inuyasha glare. He opened his mouth, about to say something witty when the intense moment was interrupted. Interrupted by giggles. All eyes looked over to Alyssa as she covered her mouth, looking like she was trying to push back the laughs but unable to.
"What are you laughing at, baka?" Inuyasha snapped at her while Sesshomaru simply glared. How Inuyasha had such a talent for finding the most annoying humans, the demon lord would never know. Alyssa lowered her hand, biting her lips while giggles still bubbled out. Kim looked at her cousin with confusion, still sitting on the ground.
"Oh nothing it's just you...you...hahaha! " Alyssa couldn't help but laugh while looking towards Sesshomaru. You could tell she was trying hard to not laugh, but it just wasn't working. It was too funny! Sesshomaru glared at her, Kim standing up a few feet behind where he stood. She stared at her cousin blankly, trying to get what was so funny.
'What is she?...oh no...'
Kim's eyes suddenly widened with horror as she remembered what Alyssa had done the first time Kim showed her a picture of the demon lord. Something quite similar to this...
'..if shes laughing at what I think she laughing at then shes sooooo dead.'
She knew she had to be quick. She looked over at Sesshomaru to make sure his back was still facing her, then looked back towards her cousin with determination in her eyes.
'I can still warn her!'
Kim threw her arms into the air, waving them back and forth while shaking her head at Alyssa. Inuyasha and his gang all looked away from Sesshomaru, distracted by Kim who seemed to be trying to tell someone something... most likely Alyssa since that was whom the red head stared at she desperately. Alyssa noticed Kim, laughing even more. Sesshomaru couldn't ignore that everyone's eyes were set on behind him. He slightly turned his head, glaring back at Kim to see the girl waving her arms around like an idiot.
"What are you doing? "He said, his voice sounding a mixture of bored and annoying. Kim's arms froze, along with the rest of her body, as Sesshomaru's eyes pierced right through her. But she knew she had to keep calm, for Alyssa's sake! She lowered her arms, looking a little flustered. She wasn't sure what kind of excuse she could come up with.
"Well you see ummm I was just...Hey look at that!" She exclaimed while holding her arm out, pointing her finger in the direction behind him. Sesshomaru just frowned at her while the group behind him got '-.-' looks, accompanied by nice sweat drops. All but Alyssa who laughed even louder.
"Damn I thought you would fall for that." Kim mumbled, lowering her hand and looking a little nervous. Now what? But luckily for her, Alyssa's loud laughs had once again claimed Sesshomaru's interest. He turned this head away from Kim, leaving her alive and in one piece. The red head let out a little relieved sigh.
'Few. That was close.'
"What are you laughing at?" Sesshomaru repeated his question, louder and holding a hint of anger now. It took Alyssa a few moments, not showing any fear though she faced this angry and powerful demon. She wipped away a tear of joy, her laughs slowing till finally she was able to take in a deep breath. Though even after that, she still giggled. But it was small enough for her to speak between the peaks of the laughs.
"You...you..look like a..." Alyssa began, her giggles making dramatic suspense with how slow she actually spoke her words. Kim got wide eyes then darted forward, waving her arms in the air again and planning to tackle her cousin when she got close enough.
"Alyssa! NO!" She yelled for her cousins dear life, freaking out as she ran towards her. Sesshomaru glanced to the side, noticing Kim. Then again, how could you not notice Kim? She was like a lit torch with arms and legs, running all frantic while screaming 'No!'. His eyes narrowed slightly.
'I'm feeling curious now.'
He looked back towards Alyssa who was having another fit while watching Kim run. When the red head was right next to him, he subtly yet effectively stuck out his foot in front of her. Kim's yells were cut off by screams as she bluntly fell forward, face first into the ground between Sesshomaru and the others.
"Kim-chan, are you okay?" Kagome yelled with concern as she looked towards Kim in the ground.
"Oww." Kim mumbled, though it hurt a little knowing that it was Sesshomaru's foot that had tripped her. Note to self, never wash ankle again.
"Now she knows how it feels." Inuyasha smirked, glad someone now understood his cruel slammed to the ground fate.
"Sit boy!"
Thump
"Damn Kagome! "
Sesshomaru looked towards his brother in the ground and frowned. Despite how enjoyed seeing Inuyasha embarrassed by a mere mortal woman, he was also an embarrassment to their family and entire race. Therefore it wasn't THAT enjoyable.
"Pathetic.." He mumbled before looking back at Alyssa, who looked like she was about to burst with giggles as her eyes darted between the fallen Kim and Inuyasha. He decided to bring her attention back to his question. It was, after all, the only one that mattered.
"Now, what does this Sesshomaru look like?" His icy voice asked, sounding calmer than his previous anger. Alyssa looked back at Sesshomaru, biting her lip with more giggles while Kim stood up. So far it had been a pretty... attack-less battle. And Kim wanted to keep it that way. She had to stop this!
"No, don't Alyssa! Don't you say it! "She yelled while waving her arms again, even jumping to get the point through too her cousin. But by now, Sesshomaru had plenty of the red head's annoyances. His head turned to face her, throwing daggers in his eyes.
"Would you shut up? "He snapped, finally getting that scared reaction from her. He resisted a smirk as Kim defensively put her hands up and backed away from the demon, her eyes wide and bitty with fear.
"My bad." She mumbled while looking at the demon. Sesshomaru collected his face, staring at her for no more than a second before turning to face Alyssa again. Kim bit her head while also looking towards the blonde, hoping she was in too much of another laughing fit to speak again. But sadly, Alyssa had calmed down. She had her arms crossed with a big smile, having a left over high from all the laughing.
"I said.."Alyssa continued. Kim shook her head again towards Alyssa, trying not to move so much so Sesshomaru wouldn't notice. But Alyssa blew her cover, rolling her eyes as she noticed Kim.
"Oh come on, Kim. It's not that bad. He probably meant to dress like that." Alyssa said as Kim froze, her eyes darting to Sesshomaru to make sure he wasn't going to kill her for trying to stop Alyssa again. But instead his emotionless eyes stayed on Alyssa, ignoring Kim once again.
"Like what? "He asked Alyssa, his voice not sounding curious at all. He had to wonder why he was interacting with humans... pft.
"Like a girl." Alyssa finally said, still smiling. Kim felt something shoot up her spine. Fear. She grew a little pale, slowly taking more steps away from the demon lord. She did not want to be caught up in this mess. She watched as Sesshomaru's fingers slowly curled, clenching into a fist. He didn't seem too angry, but Kim knew he wouldn't since he never seemed anything. But she knew.. inside.. he was not about to take this insult.
"What did you say?" Sesshomaru asked Alyssa, his voice a little darker and more chilly. Kim looked at Alyssa with a desperate expression.
'She can't be stupid enough to actually say that again. She's not that dumb.'
"I said you look like a girl." Alyssa repeated casually, Kim's head dropping as she let out a little sigh.
'Or maybe she is.'
Kim slowly lifted her head, looking at Sesshomaru who was glaring at Alyssa intensely. Even Alyssa could feel the trouble she had just gotten herself in, getting a little wide eyed as she saw Sesshomaru's hand slowly lifting up and glowing a light shade of green.
"I mean come on! Your hair, your eye shadow, that boa thing. It screams GIRL!" Alyssa tried to defend her point, slowly back up to be far away from the demon. Maybe she should of listened to Kim... okay, that was kinda obvious.
"This is not good. "Kim whispered, looking at Sesshomaru and getting wide eyes when she saw his claws. "Really not good. ALYSSA! YOU IDIOT!" Kim yelled while running again, Sesshomaru not bothering to stop her this time. The closer the two humans were to each other, the easier he could slay them both. But Kim stopped a few feet in front of him, glaring towards Alyssa and scolding her with a loud grumble.
"First of all, there's nothing wrong with his hair! It's just great hair. Second, that's not eye shadow. It's FACIAL MARKINGS! Just like the moon and the stripes! How many freakin times do I have to explain that to you? And as for the boa, It's not a boa it's a...a...hmmm" She blinked for a moment then turned around to face Sesshomaru, giving him a confused expression.
"Actually what is it? I mean,.. is it a boa?" She asked while looking at him, tilting her head to the side with confusion. Sesshomaru looked at her, finding this strange. She obviously knew he was a threat right now. Why was she just standing there and questioning him so casually?
'Who is this girl and how does she know so much about this Sesshomaru? Whatever, I'll find out later. First to deal with that damn idiot wench.'
"I, Sesshomaru, do not look like a girl." He said while looking away from Kim, putting her back on the ignoring list. Alyssa gulped when she met Sesshomaru's glare, backing up more as Miroku and Sango took steps in front of her to form a protective shield from the demon.
"Well you must be blind or something." Alyssa mumbled, unable to resist the comment. Kim let out a sigh of frustration as she slapped her forehead. Alyssa just didn't know when to quit. At this point, she was just digging her grave deeper and deeper.
"Actually, Sesshomaru, she is right. You do resemble a female! Ha!" Inuyasha taunted his half brother, stepping forward with a cocky smirk. He knew he had to take Sesshomaru's focus off the two humans. If they died, Kagome would never let him get over it.
Kim looked over at Inuyasha, blinking slightly and letting out a relieved sigh when she didn't hear Alyssa screaming in horror. She could only assume that the hanyou had perfectly distracted Sesshomaru and now the two would battle. And then-
"KIM!" She heard Kagome yell. Kim was a little startled, looking back and forth with wide eyes. It was true, Inuyasha's distraction had worked perfectly. In fact, Sesshomaru was charging right for Inuyasha now. There was only a minor problem. Kim stood right between the two. And from the look on Sesshomaru's face, it didn't seem he would mind running over the little human.
"Oh crap!" Kim stood there like a deer caught in headlights. Any normal fan girl would of loved to of been trapped between the two hot brothers, but under such circumstances, Kim wasn't exactly happy. Though maybe being in an inu sandwich wouldn't be the most horrible way to die...
"Kim, grab my hand!" Sango snapped Kim out of her thoughts, there being barely any time. Kim looked up and saw Kirara flying towards her with Sango on it's back, diving towards Kim. The red head quickly collected herself and reached her hand out, Sango taking it and pulling her out of the way just milliseconds before Sesshomaru stampeded over where she had just been standing. He didn't seem to notice though, which could be expected from the demon lord.
Kirara did a quick turn, rushing over to the group and landing in front of Alyssa while Inuyasha stood in front of them all, the tetsiga drawn and held in front of him with a smirk as Sesshomaru drew the Tokijin and the swords met. Alyssa looked pass Kirara a moment, wondering where the hell Inuyasha had gotten that giant sword from. Last time she checked, he had only the small dinky sword. Maybe this one was hidden in his giant, obnoxiously red pants?
Sango glared at her, Kim turning herself on Kirara and trying to get a good look at the right.
"Get on!" Sango finally yelled at Alyssa, snapping the girl into attention. Alyssa blinked while looking at her for a few moments then nodded, running over and climbing up onto the demon's back. She knew that staying here would mean game over, for sure. Plus Sesshomaru was looking mighty scary now that he was swinging that sword around.
"Kirara, take them some where safe!" Sango yelled, surprising Kim as Kirara started to lift into the air and Sango was jumping off the demon's back. Most likely to be there if she was needed. Which Kim didn't get. She aways found Sango pretty.. pointless.
"Wait! "Kim yelled as Kirara flew off. She looked over the demons back, watching as the figures on the ground just blurred into little fast moving dots. Alyssa looked over her cousins shoulder, letting out relieved sigh.
"Barely made it out of that one." She mumbled.
"Nooooo!" Kim whined, throwing her head against Kirara's soft fur. Alyssa raised her brow at the red head.
"What?" She asked, wondering how the girl could be any less than grateful for still being alive right now. Kim looked at her with a pout and puppy dog eyes. She looked down, as if measuring how far of a fall it could be. She figured she could jump down and probably survive, if she landed on a tree or something.
"I want to see the fight!" Kim said, looking as if she was about to jump off Kirara. Alyssa got wide eyes and instantly grabbed her cousin, holding her back by the arm and scolding her with her eyes.
"No way! You'll be killed! Even if the fall doesn't kill you, that Sesshomaru guy is pissed! "She yelled. Kim stared at her cousin a moment, frowning before she turned her head to look back at the ground, frowning as the fight scene was too far away for her eyes. She knew her cousin was right but... man. She just wanted to watch, was that really so much to ask?
'Damn.'
The distance was not too far for Sesshomaru's golden orbs though. He was distracted by the sight of the two annoying humans flying off, looking right pass the Tokijin and Tesagia as the two swords clashed in battle. His eyes narrowed slightly.
'I'll have to deal with them later.'
And he was brought back to the fight by Inuyasha's battle cry as he pushed forward on the Tensagia, almost breaking the blade's lock.
-(&)-
"Hey Kirara? I think we've gone far enough." Alyssa leaned on the demon's neck, pouting towards it. They had been flying for a good half a hour now and Alyssa was starting to feel air sickness. She knew the demon could understand them, which is why glared at it while it ignored her, flying forward without showing any signs of lowering. Kim sighed, looking down at the ground blankly as they flew over trees, trees, and more trees. Oh and hey look, another tree. How lovely.
"I wonder if they made it out okay.." She thought out loud, propping her chin on her palm as she stared to the ground. She had to wonder... she hoped Sesshomaru would make it out alright. Even though he had been a complete jerk, he was still her favorite. Alyssa moved her eyes to look over at her cousin.
"Probably. From what I know about animes, nobody ever dies until the big battle at the end. Except for minor characters. And with all you've told me, I don't think any of them are minor characters." Alyssa sighed, looking back forward. Kim kept staring down, frowning slightly. Great. A damn battle that was probably going to be amazing yet no one dies, so no danger really. She was missing it for no reason! Suddenly, Alyssa's eyes went a little wide. She sat up from her spot leaning against the demons neck, looking at Kim with urgency.
"Kim, do you think we're minor characters?" She asked her, sounding a little panicked. Kim looked over at her, a slight bit of surprise showing through from the question. Her mouth was slightly opened, blinking at her cousin as she thought about it.
'I've never thought of that. And in this anime lots of people die.'
Honestly, what did the show need with them? They could easily end up being the random two deaths, sacraficed for a more intense plot. She gulped, about to answer Alyssa when her cousin interrupted her.
"Hey, Kim look!" Alyssa was facing forward again, having looked when she heard Kirara begin to growl. She pointed in front of them, Kim looking over and following Alyssa's finger to what appeared to be a big black cloud in the distance. But she knew it couldn't of been a cloud. It was fuzzy, like a bad signal on a television. And she could hear a slight hum as they came. Her eyes widened when they came faster, getting close enough for Kim to see it was a swarm of Naraku's poisonous insects.
"Oh no! This is not good!" Kim yelled as Kirara growled louder.
"What are they? "Alyssa asked, backing up a bit as the swarm was knocking on their front door, metaphorically speaking.
"They are evil little bug things that have poison. They've probably been sent by Naraku. They might have something to do with the fight." Kim replied, her voice low and her eyes glaring.
Kim and Alyssa ducked their heads close to Kirara as the swarm came over them, the demon doing it's best to dodge the bugs that flew at it. Kim lifted her head slightly and opened one eye to peak at the chaos, letting out a shriek when she saw one of the bug's ugly faces right in front of her. The shriek startled Alyssa, and especially Kirara. It was a dire mistake, the demon looking back and then forward again, seeing a cluster that it was about to run into. Kirara turned to avoide them, but the turn was too sharp and tilted it's back just enough for Kim and Alyssa to come sliding off.
"Shit!" Kim screamed when she felt nothing but air around her, hearing Alyssa's plummeting scream not too far from her. Kim's eyes were wide as she stared up at the dark cloud of bugs and Kirara, who didn't seem to notice they had slid off her back some how. And even she had, there was no way the demon could catch up with how much they had already fallen.
'No... no... Maybe we are just minor characters. Oh crap! Just my freakin luck! I get sent into the best anime ever and they kill me off! Damn you Takahashi!'
"Kim! "Alyssa yelled, as if waiting for Kim to pull some sort of safe landing out of her pocket. Kim looked over at her cousin blankly, showing she had no escape plans for this one with her eyes. She turned her head, her hair flying back as she looked towards the upcoming ground. They were almost there. Almost at the finish line.
Suddenly she was confused along with horrified. What was that little blob one the ground? Oh well. That didn't matter other than the fact it was one of the last things she'd ever see. Kim closed her eyes and prepared for impact, Alyssa's screams not making this any better.
The next thing she knew her head hit the ground hard and every thing went black. The last conscious thing she heard was a scream that didn't belong to her or Alyssa.
ha! You have faced the Almighty cliff hanger! muahahahahaha! Will they survive? Well duh I mean if they didn't this would be a very short story! Well I'll update soon!
