Ch.2. Naraku's Deal
As the skies overhead darkened, thunder could be heard in the distance coming from the clouds that hid the setting sun.
"It looks like it should rain tonight me lord." Said Jaken nervously. " Perhaps we should find an appropriate shelter. For Rin, I mean." He added with apprehension in his high voice.
Sesshoumaru said nothing. In fact, he stood in the same position for at least another five minutes.
Jaken never understood why his master got like this when people spoke to him. His lord had been this way for as long as Jaken could remember. Even as a child he wasn't very talkative. He was never inquisitive like other children either. He always pretty much stayed to himself.
Finally, Sesshoumaru began to speak. "Naraku is near." The demon lord said casually.
Jaken looked around frantically. He didn't see, nor smell the oni anywhere, but he didn't dare enrage his master by suggesting that he may be wrong, because no matter the impending circumstances, Sesshoumaru was almost always right.
Jaken was just about to ask his lord where the demon was cowering now, Until he revealed himself.
"I was wondering when you'd notice I was around. Although I'm a bit hurt that you didn't come to search for me, lord Sesshoumaru." Naraku said with a smirk, and a slight laugh.
" I've been aware that you've been following me for quite some time now. what do you want?" Sesshoumaru asked without turning to face Naraku
"well lets get straight to business then. I have a bargain for you. Should you chose to except, I can ensure the exchange of your brother's sword."
Sesshoumaru turned around. "And just what are the conditions for my side of the bargain?"Naraku grinned evilly at him. "There is a girl traveling with Inuyasha. She has only been with the group for about five days now. She carries with her a necklace with a small, clear , blue orb. Though she doesn't realize it, the orb contains a very powerful fire demons spirit.
If you get it from her, and hand it over to me, I can ensure the Tetsusaiga to you." he informed Sesshoumaru, the grin never fading from his face. "The girl is human, so you won't have to put up much of a fight." Naraku stated meticulously, now able to look the demon lord right in the face.
"Naraku." Sesshoumaru called, as he turned his back toward the oni. "should you fail to uphold your end of the bargain, you will die." The lord added casually. Naraku's smile widened. "Of course…" Naraku said calmly, as he watched the demon lord walk away, with Jaken, Rin, and Ah-un following closely behind.
"Sesshoumaru." Naraku called. The lord stopped, but did not face the oni. "Wouldn't you like to know what I plan to use the fire demon for?" Naraku asked inquisitively.
Sesshoumaru cocked his head. "Do with it, or the girl what you will, Naraku. It is not my affair once it is in your hands. Said the lord, and walked away as if Naraku had said nothing
