5. The Deal
He stared at her for a moment, 'This woman dares to challenge my wishes?' if he wanted he could have easily slit her throat for disobeying or questioning him for that matter. For it was his land, and his word was law. But she interested him for some reason.
"What is your business here?" he asked the demon again.
"Hmm...fine." his pinkish purplish eyes scanned Sango's body once more before he continued, "My name is Sakai, and I am looking for challenges, great challenges. I happend to have heard that there lives a lord with great power, by the name of Sesshomaru."
"So you have come to challenge this Sesshomaru," he said with a snarl and placed his hand on his sword, "then come, I shall show you no mercy!"
"Wait," that made Sesshomaru want to kill him right that very second. How dare he demand the lords patients, "I wish to be refined before I challenge you. Do you not wish for a well attained battle?"
"I do." he looked at Sango who had been silent through the whole conflict, as did the demon Sakai.
"I suppose I shall take the woman off your hands now and be on my way-"
"She stays with me," Sango jerked her head up to make sure she heard him correctly, "and as a prize, if you do happen to win, you may take her and do what you will with her."
"What! Who the-"
"Deal!" the demon shouted happily interupting Sango.
"You son of a-"
"Until then," he said cutting her off, while tossing her over his shoulder, "leave my lands!" he yelled tightening his grip on Sango's thighs and took to the sky.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
"InuYasha?"
"What now Kagome?"
"Well, do you even know how close we are to her yet?"
"Grrrr!" he paused to take in a quick breath, "Dammit Kagome! You just asked me that same damn question 2 minutes ago!"
"No I didn't! Did I?" she looked down at Shippo who nodded in reply. She placed her hands on her hips, "Well 2 minutes is a long time, if you ask me!"
"We must not worry lady Kagome," Miroku soothed, "I know shes fine..."
Kagome looked at the floor. Part of her wanted to slap him across the face or kick him into tomorrow,for even trying to make her feel better, especially when he was the one to cause the problem. She sighed, 'Oh Sango, I hope you're alright' she turned her attention to InuYasha who had stopped.
"Whats the matter InuYasha?" Shippo asked in a worried voice.
"Her...her scent," he paused unsure how to respond, "it goes straight into Sesshomaru's territory..."
"So!" Kagome shouted, "Your not gonna let that stop you from helping her!"
------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Put me down!" she yelled as she pounded into his back and tryed to wriggle out of his hands, "Damn you!"
"Shut, up." he simply said without changing the volume of his ice cold voice.
"Don't you dare tell me what to do!" she said thrashing herself against his body. He landed before losing his grasp. She pushed off him and tryed to run, but of course the TaiYoukai caught her, and pinned her against a tree. His hands pinning her wrists down on the sides of her face.
"Do you wish to die woman?"
She stared into his beautiful amber eyes, "We have to go back..."
"Why is that?" he asked in a "not really interested" type of attitude.
"Because, you left my Hiraikotsu, at the spring!" she said angerilly thinking about how long it took her to form it and how she would dread to have to make another one.
"Forget it." was all he said.
"What?" she thought of all her hard work, "Fuck you!" she said trying out the new profanity. Sesshomaru was surprised that such profound words could come from such angelic lips. He breathed in deep trying to calm his self, only making it worse when he took in her scent. She smelt so sweet,and he enjoyed it. It didn't help that the silk imono Rin had brought her was low cut. She was arousing him and...she could feel it.
She was surprised, that the great demon lord would find her "arousing". She was curious to see how far his actions would go, him being a powerful demon and hera demon slayer,so with all her strength she pressed up againsthis erectionroughly. He growled and stepped away from her. 'What the hell is she doing to me?'
She couldn't deny it...she enjoyed it and she held back a smile, "Then take me back."
"Fine." he picked her up, bridle style, and took to the air again.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
InuYasha sniffed the air once more before looking back at Kagome, "Yep, shes here, and shes still alive." at that Kagome grabbed her chest in relief. They continued on her trail until they came across a Sangos giant boomerang.
"Sango's weapon?"Miroku asked, wondering why she wasn't armed with it. But he was soon distracted by Kagomes sudden gasp.
"Oh no! A demon must have kidnapped her!"
"Dammit, relax! A demon did not take her and she is still alive so why the hell are you..." he stopped and sniffed the air again, "Sesshomaru..."
"Sesshomaru!" squeaked Shippo as Kilala hissed, "He's here?"
"Grrr," InuYasha growled as he pulled out his Tetsaigua, "don't worry I'm ready for him..." but when the demon lord landed, all of thier mouths dropped open. Thier eyes went from Sesshomaru to Sango and back again.
"Umm, Sango?" Kagome looked at her friend wide eyed as the TaiYoukai put her down. Sango brushed herself off and tryed to find words to explain what happend to her.
"Well, I...its nothing bad or anything..."
"Well then what the hell is going on?" InuYasha asked.
"Nothing! I got hurt...and I guess Sesshomaru helped me." Sesshomarusnarled at this. He could not have his reputation ruined by a stupid human who "claimed" that he had helped her.
"I did no such thing." he began, "She was on my territory and this Sesshomaru is tired of her presence here, so all of you, leave my lands or suffer!"
Sango stared at him, 'tired of my hadpresence?' she questioned herself. She just met him and he already wanted her to leave. Sango didn't want to leave,at least not yet anyway, she wanted to find out more about him.
Sesshomaru turned his back away from them, "I am in no mood to fight, so le-"
"Wait!" Sango interupted earning an irratated growl from the demon lord, "What about that deal?" every eye (except Sesshomaru's) was on her, along with puzzled faces.
"Deal?" Miroku asked. Sango glared at him.
"That would be none of your concern now, monk!" she yelled out of rage.
InuYasha looked around impatiently, "Are we done? He obviously doesn't care about whatever it is your talking about! So can we go now!"
"No." everyones attention was now on Sesshomaru, "This woman will be in my hands, until my fight is complete."
----------------------------------------------------------------
"But Sango-"
"Dont worry about me..." she said looking over at Miroku. "I need a break anyway." For some reason she felt like she wasn't telling the whole truth.
"But he could hurt you, he could kill you! You dont belong to him so you dont have to stay here and be the prize of his battles-"
"KAGOME!" she shouted trying to get her friend to catch her breath, "I'll be fine, don't worry."
"But I cant help it, I'm worried-"
"But, but, but!" she repeated in a joking manner, "I told you not to worry."
She faked a smile, "All right..." and gave Sango a tighthug, "Come back as soon as you can...or want." Sango smiled at her.
--------------------------------------------------
"Mew."
Kilala came to her side and Sango picked her up,as she stood there and watched her friends walk away. Sesshomaru was already on his way back to his keep, andwhen Sango noticed this, she grabbed her boomerang while crddling Kilala and followed after the TaiYoukai.
