Chapter Two: Something's happened!
Ryukotsusea woke up a little later than she had the day before. She inaled and smelled more things than usuall. She didn't think any thing of it. She went to the mirror. Ryukotsusea gasped. Instead of having black hair it was silver and her eyes were gold. She didn't know what happened. Then she realized that she was s full-demon too.
"What the hell!" she asked herself in surpirse. Ryukotsusea was shocked that she had changed and she didn't even know why. She looked for Sesshoumaru's aura. He was in his quarters. She got dressed and ran to him. She knocked on the door. Before he could say anything she entered.
"Who are you?" he asked. Then he sniffed her she smelled of a waterfall's mist.The only person he knew that smelled like that was Ryukotsusea. "Ryukotsusea? Is that you?" he asked.
"Yes! I don't know what happened! I woke up like this! I was a half-dragon demon and now I am a full-dog demon!" she said. She was worried.
"This is very odd. It has never happened before. There's nothing we can do about it. You will have to learn to deal with it." Sesshoumaru said flatly.
"Easy for you to say! I grew up like InuYasha and you expect me to behave like you now! Or like a full-demon! No way! I can't! I didn't grow up like this!" she sank down to the floor in denial. Ryukotsusea sat there whispering to herself that it wasn't happening. Sesshoumaru walked over to her. He picked her up and carried her back to her room (Bridal Style!). By then she was just staring out to no where.
"You will take the day off and do what you like. You may not leave the grounds." Sesshoumaru set her down on her bed and left. Later on Shouron came to her rooms.
"Hello? Ryukotsusea?" he asked.
"Come in." she said just loud enough for him to hear. He walked into her room. When he looked at her she gasped in amazement.
"What the-! Is it still you!" he asked alarmed. She was a full-blooded dog demon now.
"Yes, I don't know what happened. I woke up this way! I want to go back to being a half-blooded dragon!" she cried. Shouron understood that she didn't want to stay that way but there was nothing she or anyone could do. He sat down on the bed and rubbed her back.
"You don't have to keep your name anymore. People wont beleive you when you say the you are Ryukotsusei's daughter." Shouron said. He wasn't very good at getting people to feel better.
"You're right but it is the only thing I have that was my father's besides his memories!" she said. Ryukotsusea put her head down into her knees. "I'll go get Rin, if you want." Shouron said.
"No! I'm going to go for a walk to clear my head." Ryukotsusea got up and walked to her door. Shouron followed. He wasn't going to stay in her room while she was gone. Ryukotsusea had no idea where she was going but she trusted her feet. Aftr five minutes she walked out into a garden. It was beautiful. She saw a stone rising out of the middle. She walked over to it. The stone read "Here lies our Lords dearly departed mother.' She knew it was talking about Sesshoumaru's mother. When she heard a low growl her head shot up.
"What are you doing here?" he growled.
"I don't know! My feet took me here!" she said.
"Leave. Now." he said.
"No, I have to pay my respects. Oh, I don't have flowers." she said.
"I told you to leave." he tried to say it without letting any anger in his voice it didn't work.
"How am I supposed to respect you if you don't let me respect your mother?" she demanded. "I'll come back later with flowers." she said and turned away. He was satisfied. Ryukotsusea walked back to her room. 'Was it me or was Sesshoumaru-sama a bit mad that I found his mother's grave?' she asked herself. 'What do you mean a bit! He was going to kill you if you didn't leave!' someone said. 'Who are you?' she said. 'This is just plain sad. You have no idea who your contious is.' they said. 'You've never talked to me before! Now go away! I'm trying to think!' she growled inside her head. 'It's kinda hard when I am YOU! I'll try to stay quiet.' the voice faded but didn't leave. 'Oh yeah!I have to get flowers. Where is Shouron?' she decied to try out her new abilities. She sniffed her room. She caught his scent and followed it. It took her a while to find him but she did. He was on the training feild with someone. When she got closer she realized that it was the general who called her a liar. Maratus. Ryukotsusea decided to ignore him. "Shouron!" she called. Just before she got there Shouron had Maratus disarmed and had his sword to Maratus's throat.
"Ryukotsusea, what brings you here?" Shouron asked.
"I need flowers. Pretty ones. Where's Rin?" she asked.
"She should be in her room." Shouron said.
Maratus butted in. "Ryukotsusea will you fight me?" he asked.
"Make it quick." she said and drew her sword. Maratus went and got his. After he was ready Ryukotsusea attacked. When she hit him the sword flew out of his hands. She put the sword to his throat. Ryukotsusea was amased at her new strength, though she didn't let it show.
"I win. Don't ask me to fight you again." she said and left. Shouron knew that since Ryukotsusea had becom a full-demon she was much stronger. He would have to challenge her again to evaluate her strength to it's full extent. Hw went easy on her the first time, it was Sesshoumaru's orders. Ryukotsusea set off to find Rin. She tried to track her by scent but since she transformed she didn't have her scent. She went to Rin's room. Luckily Rin was there, she was being taught math. She walked in. "I'm sorry, I need to borrow Rin for a moment." she said politly.
"Yes Ryukotsusea-sama." Rin's toutor said. Ryukotsusea froxe when she heard 'sama'. She had never been called that before.
"What does Ryuko need Rin for?" Rin asked.
"I need you to helo me pick flowers. I need really pretty ones." she said.
"That's what Rin does best! Rin'll take Ryuko to a very pretty garden" Rin grabbed Ryukotsusea and dragged her off to a garden. Rin picked lots of flowers. They were all very pretty. When Rin was done she had a boquet so big had to hold it with both hands.
"Thank you Rin!" she put down the flowes and gave Rin a big hug. She was careful not to squeese to hard, she might squish Rin.
"Ryuko is welcome. Rin better get back to Rin's lesson." Rin said when Ryukotsusea put her down. Rin ran off. Ryukotsusea back tracked to Sesshoumaru's mother's grave. Sesshoumaru was no where to be seen. She went up to the grave and put the flowers down. After she said a prayer. She didn't know but Sesshoumaru was watching her from the shadows. He came out and walked up to her from behind.
"Hello Sesshoumaru-sama." she said. He was surprised when she said it. He had masked his scent and aura. He was sure that he didn't make a sound when he came up behind her. He dismissed it.
"What are you doing here?" he asked.
"Paying my respects. Even though pur fathers were enemies doesn't mean we have to be." she said. Sesshoumaru looked at her with no emotion showing."Why are you so tence? I just came here to put the flowers down and say a prayer for you mother." she said.
"That my be but no one ever somes here. You are the first who dared come here twice." he said.
"Well, um, I can't think of anything to say. Hmmm. Oh well. Since I have nothing better to do I am going to find Shouron to see if he wants to train or something." Ryukotsusea left and went back to the training feild. Shouron and Maratus were still fighting. The whole time Ryukotsusea was there Shouron won. She walked up to Shouron after the 50th time he beat Maratus in front of her. "I'd say you are done here. Stop himuliating Maratus in front of me." she said. Maratus growled. "Down boy." she said.
"Fine, Maratus go find someone else to train with I'm done Shouron said dissmissing Maratus.
"How'd he become a general?" Ryukotsusea asked Shouron.
"I don't know. He's not much of a match. Do you want to train?" he asked. "I went easy on you last time. Lord Sesshoumaru's orders."
"I should've known. Okay don't cry when I beat you." she said. They walked out to the feild, and drew their swords. Shouron attacked first. She easily blocked him. "Is that all the strenght you have?" she asked. Taunting him. She attacked him and didn't back down. Witha flash of kight her sword changed into tsai's. She held his sword with one and attacked him with the other. Sometimes he had to take his hand off the hilt to not get stabbed. She tryed to get both his hands off the hilt so she could get him disarmed. She finally thrust her tsai just right so he had to let go of the hilt completly. Ryukotsusea let go of her tsai and grabbed Shouron's sword. It dug into her hand but she ignored it. She threw it a good 50 yards away. Her tsai's transformed back into a sword. "I won. No crying now." she said.
"Yes you did." Shouron said. "Don't worry I didn't go easy on you." he said.
"Alright. I missed breckfast didn't I?" she aked. Shouron shook his head. "Darn. I should be hungry but I'm not." she said.
"That's because you are a full demon now. We don't need to eat as often." Shouron informed her.
"Now what are we going to do?" she asked.
"I could give you a tour of the castle so you don't get lost." he said.
"Alright lead the way." she said. Souron showed her everything.
----------------------------------------InuYasha and Co.------------------------------------------
"How are we going to use the shard to lure him out?" Sango asked.
"No need to, I am already here." Everyone spun around. Naraku was standing behind them.
"You're saving us the trouble, why?" Kagome asked. Usally nothing went acording to plan. They hoped he was attracked by the shards being so close.
"The shards were so close I came to personally rip them from you grasp." He said. Somehow he read thier minds. "Don't think your plan will work. I have watched you. I know that someone will try to distract me and then someone will come up behind me and try to stab me through the heart. Don't think I wil let it happen. I am not so foolish." Naraku had an evil grin on his face.
"Is that so?" InuYasha asked. He turned id Tetsusaiga red and destroyed Naraku's sheild. "Wind Scar!" InuYasha released the mighty attack. Some how Kanna appeared and sent his attack right back at InuYasha. "I knew you would do something like that. Backlash Wave!" The Wind Scar got new power added to it. It wasn't strong enough to destroy Kanna. Kagome saw this and shot her arrow into the vortex of the power. Kagome's arrow periced the mirror. InuYasha's backlash wave hit Kanna fullforce. "Only on left. Kagura." InuYasha said.
"You remember me InuYasha, I am flattered." she said sarcasticly.
"Shut it Kagura! You're next." He growled.
"Dance of Blades!" Kagurs'a wind blades slashed through the air. InuYasha blocked them and used his Wind Scar. "Dance of the Dragon!" Twister's formed all around. Sango and Miroku got onto Kirara and flew off to be sure they didn't get hit. Kagome and Shippo hoped onto Kagome's bike and took off the same way as Sango and Miroku.
"That wont work Kagura! Backlash Wave! Kagome, shoot your arrow!" Kagome shot her arrow right into the center of InuYasha's Backlash Wave. It plowed though until it hit Kagura.
"Thank you. You have freed me." Kagura died. She had used the last of her strength to say her thanks.
"It's only you left Naraku." InuYasha said.
"So it is. You have no chance of defeating the great Naraku!" Naraklu transformed into his ture form. It was a giant spider with a scar the shape of a spider on his back.
"Hitrikous!" Sango threw her weapon. Something was on it. Kagome realized it was Miroku's staff. The hitikous cut off three of Naraku's legs and then went back to Sango. Kagome shot her arrow into his face. It went right up his nose. A second later it exploded. His face was purified. "InuYasha, kill him!" Sango yelled down to him. InuYasha nodded.
"This ends now Naraku! Wind Scar!" It tore Naraku to shreds. He started regenerating. InuYasha saw that it was gathering around his heart. Before it had a chance to gain form again InuYasha jumped over and plunged his sword into his heart. The flesh stopped moving and decayed into dust. "Finally, he's gone!" InuYasha said.
"I found the shards!" Kagome called out to them. She reached down and picked them up. They got purified instanly. "Now we go find Kohaku." Kagome said.
"Yes, let's hurry we don't want what happened last time to happen again." Sango said. Everyone shook thier heads. The last time they did kill Naraku but he came back trough Kohaku. Sango was furious, she wouldn't let that happen to Kohaku again even if it meant she died. "Do you sence any Shards? We might have missed some."
"No, I must not be close enough. We better get looking." Kagome said. They all got on their modes of transpertaion and rode, ran, and flew off.
"Lady Kagome, do you think Ryukotsusea might have an idea to where Kohaku is?" Miroku asked.
"She might. I'll ask if we can go ask her." Kagome rode up to InuYasha. "Hey InuYasha, can we go see if Ryukotsusea has a lead to where Kohaku is?"
"Good idea. Let's go!" InuYasha turned west and headed off to find Ryukotsusea. It would be about a week before they got there. They could go faster if Kagome put her bike somewhere safe and got onto InuYasha'a back. She wouldn't though. She got cramped when she rode on his back for a long time. They didn't talk much, they didn't need to. The anticapation was to great. The wanted to get to Sesshoumaru's castle as fast as they could.
"InuYasha, don't you think we should stop? It's getting dark and Shippo is hungry." Kagome said.
"Fine." he said. He didn't show it but he was really glad to be rid of Naraku. InuYasha inhaled and caught Kikyo's scent. "I'll be back when the food is done." he said and walked to where Kikyo was. Kikyo same into veiw. "Kikyo what are you doing here?" he asked.
"You have gotten rid of Naraku haven't you?" she asked.
"Yes, that doesn't answer my question." he said.
"We can be together now. Come InuYasha, come with me to hell." she said. She grabbed his arm and tryed to pull him away.
"No, I wont go." he said. "I belong here. I don't love you any more Kikyo." he said. Kikyo dropped his arm. She glared daggers at him. If looks could kill InuYasha would be dead.
"InuYasha I have waited 50 years for this moment, you are comming." she said.
"No, I am staying here with Kagome." he said. He started to turn. Kikyo's soul colectors grabbed him and tied him to a tree.
"As I said you are comming. Even if I have to do this the dirty way." she said.
"I don't want to hurt you Kikyo, but I will if I have to." he grolwed. He killed the soul colectors and grabbed Kikyo. "Kikyo got back to where you belong." he said. InuYasha cut off her head. The fake body blew away into the wind as dust. "Rest in peace." InuYasha went back to camp. The ramen was ready.
"InuYasha! What took you so long?" Kagome asked. "Your ramen is getting cold."
"It is! I better hurry up and eat it then. He jumped over to his bowl and gulped it down. "That was good. Got anymore?" Kagome poured more into InuYasha's bowl. Sango and Miroku finshed eating. Then they remembered something.
"Miroku! Is your wind tunnel gone!" Sango asked. He shook his head.
"Yes, It disappeared when InuYasha killed Naraku, but it doesn't mean anything, He could still be alive." he said. They all knew what he meant. "Well, we better get some sleep, we have a long jorney ahead of us." Miroku said. Kagome got out her sleeping bag and crawled in. Shippo cralwed in after her. Everyone fell asleep. InuYasha was the first one up. He sniffed for danger. It was quiet. He got put of his tree and walked around stretching his mucsles. Shippo snored like a buzz saw.
"Shippo! Shippo!" InuYasha yelled. The little fox jumped up.
"What! I was sleeping! Go away!" he said. After he was done talking he fell asleep again.
"Let him sleep. We all need to go back to bed." Sango said. InuYasha yelling had woke her up. She closed her eyes and went back to sleep. InuYasha took a walk to keep himslef occupied. After about an hour InuYasha had went back to his tree. Kaome started to stur. He jumped down from the tree and went over to her.
"Good morning.InuYasha. I suppose you want food." she said.
"You're good!" InuYasha joked. "No I've been waiting for everyone to get up. I never knew how boring life could be with out Naraku." he said.
"I know I haven't slept this good since I was last at home" Kagome said. "I'll make some ramen. That way when every one else gets up they wont have to wait." Kagome said. She went over to her bag and pulled out six packets of ramen. They were all the same flavor. Soon after Kagome started cooking Shippo woke up and came running over. He was waiting for the food. It took about ten minutes for everything to be done cooking. It was hard to imagine but Shippo loved ramen as much and InuYasha. He didn't eat it all though, he saved some for everyone else. When the food was done Sango and Miroku woke up. They smelled it. You couldn't fool thier noses.
"After the billionth time this had no flavor." Sango said. She wasn't keeping trak of how many times she ate it, if she did she would only be in the 50's.
"Yeah, but at least it's food." Kagome said. By now Kagome didn't even have to think about how to make ramen she just knew. All she had to do was think ramen and then she would cook it.
"When are we leaving?" Miroku asked.
"Where every one is done eatin' " InuYasha said. Usually they didn't leave anywhere so early but because Naraku was involed they would go any where. After about five bites Sango was done. InuYasha had been done Shippo was blowing on his. It was still way to hot for him to eat. Miroku was just finishing up and Kagome was pouring herself a bowl. She was still eating when everyone was done. They stared at her whle she was eating.
"What?" she asked. She didn't like to be stared at. They turned away.
"Nothing." InuYasha said. Kagome huuried up and ate the last of her food.
"InuYasha there's still some left do you want it?" she asked InuYasha took the pot and ate the rest straight from it. "I'll take that as a yes." Kagome packed every thing up and got on her bike. InuYasha oicked her up off her bike and put her on his back. "Hey!" she protested but he ignored her. Sango his Kagome's bike and then got onto Kirara's back.
-----------------------------------------------Ryukotsusea-----------------------------------------
Ryukotsusea felt a demonic aura vanish. 'InuYasha.' she thought. She scanned for Naraku's evil aura but couldn't find it. She rushed off to find Sesshoumaru. He was in his study. Ryukotsusea burst in.
"Excuse me Sesshoumaru-sama but Naraku is no longer. InuYasha must have killed him." she said.
"Yes, I am aware of it. I am going to pay InuYasha a visit." Sesshoumaru stood up and went into his room. She assumed that this meant she was dismissed. She left his study and went back to where she had been before. She had found a good hiding spot to hid from Rin, it had been about on hour and Rin still didn't give up.
"Rin do you give up yet!" she called.
"Rin gives up!" Ryukotsusea came out of her spot and walked over to Rin.
"You did a good job. Now what do you want to do?" she asked.
"How about Rin goes and finds Jaken-sama." Rin said.
"Alright we'll go find him." Ryukotsusea had an evil smirk on her face. Jaken was outside of Rin's room.
"Jaken-sama!" Rin called.
"Rin Sesshoumaru-sama is looking for you and Ryukotsusea. He wants to see you in his quarters." Jaken said.
"Come here Jaken." Ryukotsusea said. He gulped. Ryukotsusea grabbed Jaken and carried him to a pound. "Okay, who'g going to throw him in?" she asked.
"Rin will! Rin will!" Ryukotsusea handed Jakn to Rin. Rin threw him in. Jaken struggled to stay above the water. Ryukotsusea and Rin had made a game out of this. They would thorw him in and count how many times he went underthe water before he finally mangaged to get to the edge. Sometimes the pound wasn't very deep. It would be a foot and a half and Jaken would still have trouble staying above the water. Ryukotsusea and Rin had a blast with this game. Sesshoumaru saw them watching Jaken. He walked over and saw what they were doing.
"Help! Get me out! Lord Sesshoumaru! Please! Help!" Jaken called out to him. He reached over and pulled Jaken out.
"Oh no fair!" Rin pouted. "We still have to dry Jaken-sama off." Rin said. He handed Rin Jaken. "Thank you Sesshoumaru-sama! Is Ryuko ready?" she asked.
"Yes hand him to me." Rin gave Ryukotsusea Jaken. She threw him up into the air to dry him off. When he came down he was dry. "There ya go Jaken. Have fun!" Ryukotsusea laughed. Jaken tryed to walk away but couldn't he was to sick to him stomach. Ryukotsusea was laughing so hard that tears had come to her eyes. Rin had stopped laughing but she still smiled braodly. To Rin it had gottne old but to Ryukotsusea it was still funny. She didn't do fun things when she was Rin's age. She made up for that now when she was with Rin. When she wasn't with Rin she would always be a bit jokeful but most of the time she was serious in her own way. Witch wasn't a so serious way.
"Ryuko, Do it again!" Rin cried.
"No, Rin we should go. I don't think Sesshoumaru-sama is happy with us." she said as she let out a nervuos chuckle. She grabbed Rin and ran away. "SHHH! Rin! We don't want to get in trouble." she said when she saw Sesshoumaru was right behind her. She hid behind things and tried to loose him. It was safe to say it didn't work. He grabbed Ryukotsusea and lifted her off the ground. She laughed and waved. "Hi." she said meekly. He arched a brow at her actions.
"Leave Jaken alone, if I catch you again, you'll be punished." he said. She nodded and he put her down. She stood there and put Rin down. Rin looked up at Sesshoumaru.
"Rin will not get caught next time" she said grinning widely. 'I have rubbed off on her way too much!' Ryukotsusea said to herself.
"Rin we wont do it again. We don't want to disobey Lord Sesshoumaru." Ryukotsusea said. She would later go to Rin's room and tell Rin they woudn't get caught the next time they did that. Ryukotsusea was to evil for her own good.
"Okay, Rin still thinks it was funny to see the look on Jaken-sama's face." Rin said. Ryukotsusea nodded it was funny. But it got old really fast, they would have to find a new way to torture Jaken. Even if it meant leaving traps for him in the hall ways. They were going to have a blast. Sesshoumaru looked at Ryukotsusea who so engrossed in her thoughts that he knew she was thinking of ways to get around not being caught. He used to think of things like that himself when he was a child. That was so long ago he only remembered bits and pieces of his childhood.
"Ryukotsusea it is time for your training with me, come. Rin you will go to a garden away from the training feilds." he said knowing that the last time hadn't turned out so good. Rin sighed and reluctantly went to a garden. Sesshoumaru turned back to her. Ryukotsusea was trying to sneak away. It wasn't working. He growled to signify that he saw her trying to get away. She swore under her breath and walked behind him to the training feilds.
"Do I have to train? I mean I'm good enough already aren't I?" she asked. She really didn't want to train. "Whoa!" She blocked Sesshoumaru just in time. "What the hell!" she growled. She forced him back so she could move away. Her sword transformed into daggers. 'She has a wide variety of weapons. I will have to teach her more.' Sesshoumaru thought. He would teach her with a sword with to blades, one at each end. (A/N:anyone know what they are called?If you do please E mail it to me! Or put it in your reveiw!)
"You have to be on your gaurd all the time. Don't let it down." Sesshoumaru said plainly. Ryukotsusea nodded and got ready for an attack. She willed her sword to transform back into a sword. She took the stance of Seigan. Sesshoumaru didn't think she knew the stance, but she did. He was impressed. He attacked. She blocked him with her sword. She took this opertunity to kick him. He pulled his leg up and smashed it down it would land on her foot. She saw it comming and drew back.'I guess I better keep my attacks un predictable.' Ryukotsusea thought. 'She is going to try something.' Sesshoumaru was watching her like a hawk even though it didn't look like it.
"You are good." she said simply. She fake everything in her eyes. Ryukotsusea faked right and attacked left. Sesshoumaru thought she would try something like that. She realized she would have to fake more things in a row in order to land a hit on him. Ryukotsusea thought it better and attacked straight foreward. They were at a stand still in the middle of the feild. While they were fighting a crowd had gathered. Suddenly they both jumped back. Ryukotsusea glared at Sesshoumaru and Sesshoumaru glared at Ryukotsusea. They slowly circled each other. Shouron was in the crowd. 'She didn't show me these skills! She is amazing!' Shouron thought. As he watched Ryukotsusea she disappeared. She and Sesshouamru were back in the middle of the feild. Fending each others blows off. Out of no where came Sesshoumaru's whip. Ryukotsusea used her sword to block. It wraped around it. With a mighty jerk Sesshoumaru ripped it out of her hands. Ryukotsusea's claws extended. 'She is going to fight Sesshoumaru with her hands! She doesn't stand a chance with his Tokijin!' Shouron was about to stop her but she had already attacked. Sesshoumaru's sword started to melt. "You stand no chance against my acid claws!" she growled. He forced her back and put his sword away. "You will fight me hand to hand?" she asked raising a brow.
"Yes. I have no use for my sword here. Our fists will do our talking for us." Sesshoumaru said. She nodded and took a stance. Sesshoumaru just stood there. He was waiting for her to attack. She wasn't going to/ "If you do not attack-" Ryukotsusea took this chance to attack. Think ing he might be off gaurd. She only grazed him. She cut the leg of his kimono. It didn't reach the skin. She growled in frustration. When he moved she could see his mucsles ripple. She didn't care. She just wanted to hurt him a little. "Hmm. You are getting faster." This time Sesshoumaru attacked. She grabbed his fist. Then he kicked her. She went flying. Ryukotsusea flipped in the air and landed on her feet. Suddenly pain shot up through Sesshoumaru's arm. He looked down not showing an emotion. He was bleeding. "You cut me with your acid claws." Sesshoumaru couldn't use his arm any more.
"Giving up?" Ryukotsusea asked. "I can stop the acid from spreading and then extract it. I will stop it but not extract it. I will after the fight." she said. Sesshoumaru vanished. She looked up and then followed him behind her. When he landed he launched himself at her. Ryukotsusea didn't have time to stop the attack so he hit her square in the chest. She went flying. Unfortunatly for her a tree had grown in her path. She hit the tree full force. The trunk had an indent of her back in it. Ryukotsusea slowly slid to the ground. She sat there a second and then opened her eyes. Blood trickled out of her mouth. She had an evil grin on her face. Instead of her eyes being blue they were red. "Not a good idea." she said. Her voice was low and plain. It was deviod of everything. Most people who were watching shivered. Her voice sent shivers up their spines. A few of them fled from the secene. 'They are wise.' Shouron thought. 'This is going to get ugly' He was tempted to go out onto the feild and call it a draw. Though he knew if he did he would end up dead.
"I have beaten you before this way. I shall do it again. We will fight with our swords." He drew Tokijin. There was no evidence of Ryukotsusea's acid claws. She looked some what surprised. Then her face showed nothing.
"Interesting." she held put her hand to her sword. It flew to her. Shouron was surprised. "This could get messy." she said with an evil grin on her face. She turned towards the crowd. "Leave, If you want to live." she said. Everyone but Shouron fled. She didn't even exknowledge him, she simply went back to facing Sesshoumaru. They both attacked at them same time. When their swords clashed there was sparks. They payed no attention to anything, except for each other. Each time they moved the other one attacked with no mercy. It was training not war. Finally Shouron got tired of watching something that was going no where.
"Enough! It is a draw." as he said it Sesshoumaru attacked Ryukotsusea and cut open her leg. He moved out of the bloods path. She fell to the ground and clutched her leg. When she felt numb she ripped a long strip of cloth from her kimono and tried it tightly around her leg. It covered the wound and stopped the bleeding. She got up and walked up to Sesshoumaru.
"Was that training or something else?" she asked.
"Training, nothing more. You will heal then we will continue. If you are healed by tomarrow we will continue." He stopped talking. Ryukotsusea opened her mouth to say something. "No, you will not be with Rin tomarrow. She is going to be with Jaken all day."
"What! Leaving her with that...that..." she trailed off looking for a word to describe Jaken. "That toad is not going to happen!" she growled. Rin needed to have fun, not boredom.
"It has and it will continue. You are dismissed." he walked off.
"Hey! I wasn't done talking here!" she yelled after him.
"It doesn't matter. If Sesshoumaru-sama id done talking and has dismissed you, you are done talking." Shouron said.
"I have the same status rank as him! He can't order me around! Come back here Sesshoumaru!": she yelled. Shouron clutched his ears.
"OW! Stop yelling!" he yelled at her. She gave him a sheepish grin.
"Sorry. Now what are we going to do about my leg?" she asked. It had bleed through the cloth and started dripping down her leg. Most people would have looked away in disgust. To Ryukotsusea it was cool. "Can I just sit here and watch it?"
"No, we have to get it treated." Shouron let her lean on him and they made thier way to the imfrimary, slowly, but they made their way there. When they got there Ryukotsusea started putting up a fight.
"Nooo! I want to watch it! Nooo! They wont touch me!" she growled. Shouron was surprised by how much she could act like a child. She could easily over power him if she wanted to. Finaly she gave in and let them clean and bandage her wound. When she came out she was mumbling things under her breath. Shouron was sure he didn't want to know what she was saying. Since he knew her well enough, he knew that she was not saying nice things. "All I wanted to do was watch it! But could I? NO! I had to get it treated! Stupid rules!" she growled so Shouron could hear it. He rolled his eyes. A servent came running down the hall.
"Ryukotsusea-sama! Ryukotsusea-sama! There are some someones asking for you. They are at the front gate." The servent said. Ryukotsusea brightened.
"Really! Show me! I still don't know my way around here. Come on Shouron!" she grabbed Shouron but the back of his collar and dragged him down the hall. Soon they got to the front gate. She saw InuYasha, Kagome, Miroku, Sango, Shippo, and Kirara standing around looking bored. "Oh! Hey! What brings you guys here?" she asked.
"Who are you?" InuYasha asked. Then she remembered that she looked different.
"Oh that's right you saw me before I changed. Well, I changed into a full-demon over night for some strange reason. Anyways What are you doing here?" she asked again.
"How do we know it's you?" Kagome asked.
"InuYasha transforms--" than she mouthed spelled the rest. Just in case someone was listening. Kagome knew right away it was Ryukotsusea when she got when InuYasha tansformed right. Shippo ran over and jumped onto Ryukotsusea's head. "Hello, Shippo!" Kirara jumped up onto her shoulder. "Nice to see ya too Kirara." Miroku was inching closer to her. "Don't Miroku. The result wont be pretty." she said.
"What happened to your leg?" Sango asked.
"Oh I was training with Sesshoumaru and he caught me off gaurd." she said with ease. InuYasha didn't think training here went that far. "So, what are you guys here for? I mean it's not like I get visitors every day." Ryukotsusea said brightly.
"We were wondering if you knew where Kohaku was. Sesshoumaru has been looking for him." Miroku said.
"Do we have to leave? I want to stey here with Ryukotsusea." Shippo said. Mostly he wanted to play with Rin so he wouldn't have to deal with InuYasha.
"Well, you could ask Sesshoumaru. I have to go get my leg bandaged up. You can come with me and Shouron will show you to Sessoumaru." she said pointing to the tall man behind her. "Wont you Shouron?" she asked sweetly.
"I can't say no to you." he said sarcaticly.
"I know, you seriously can't. After all, I out rank you." she said. She turned to him and started hopping to the door. "Hmm. Whitch way to the infirmary?" she asked herself. She went ridged and took of like lightning Shippo was still on her head.
"Damn, she's fast for some one who is injured." the a scent cought InuYasha's attention. "NO! Damn!" InuYasha cried and then took off after Ryukotsusea. Miroku collasped in pain.
"Miroku, it's Naraku isn't it?" Sango asked. It was happening again. Naraku hadn't really died, just faked it. "I knew it was to easy!" Sango growled.
"Hmmmm. This should be interesting. Are you going to join the battle?" Shouron asked. He was exceedingly calm.
"Well yeah! Take us to it!" Kagome yelled. InuYasha would need her there or else everything would go wrong.
"Follow me. You might want to get on yor fire neko. It will be faster." he said. Kirara transformed and all three of them got onto her back. Shouron walked all the way out of the castle and the he took off to the back garden. He was fast but not as fast as Sesshoumaru or Ryukotsusea. Kirara was right on his heels all the way.
"Naraku! Why did you fake your death again!" Kagome heard InuYasha yell.
"I didn't have a choice I had to come back. This shard revieves me after a certian ammount of time. If you had removed it a second earlier I wouldn't be here now." Naraku said mockingly. It sounded like he didn't want to come back. Knowing him he had a plan to attack from the afterlife. Most likly through Kikyo.
"Hmm. This could get interesting." Ryukotsusea said. Suddenly to leg pulsed with pain. "What! What is this trickery!" she asked.
"My poison vapors are effecting you." Naraku said. She growled. 'Damn! I still have to fight! I will kill him if it the last thing I do!' she growled to herself. She heard Shouron comming with Kagome, Sango, and Miroku, She looked up to her head Shippo was still there.
"Shippo, Kagome is comming and when she gets here I wasnt you to stay with her. Got it?" she asked. Shippo nodded and headed off to where they were going to land. Kagome got off and Shippo jumped up on her shoulder. "Kagome watch Shippo." Ryukotsusea said.Kagome didn't like the idea of not fighting but she couldn't argue with Ryukotsusea.
"Ryukotsusea where is Lord Sesshoumaru? He should have been the first one here." Shouron asked.
"He's out. He said he would be back tonight. If someone sends him a mesage by magic then he would get here in no time flat." Ryukotsusea said. Even in batte she still made dumb remarks.
"How are we going to do that? We don't teach or get taought nagic here. The only one who knows how to use magic is Lord Sesshoumaru" Ryukotsusea rolled her eyes.
"Okay are you done talking! Naraku is sitting right here in front of us and he's going to do something!" InuYasha shouted.
