I guess I like doing oneshots today, so I just wrote this. Again, there's no plot really, but there is a contest: if three people can guess the mystery girl, I'll post my next chapter of UhBakmatsu within the week. I've already got it written but I have to type it up, and that might (will) motivate me. So read and review and tell me a guess, ok?

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha, Sesshomaru, the Inuyasha show, or the mystery girl, who is NOT an OC.
--------------------
In the darkness of the forest a pair of golden eyes stared a humanoid form hunched on the ground. Pointed ears made out labored breathing, and the figure's twitching nose smelled blood on the injured female. Walking forward enveloped in a deadly grace, the figure saw a gash in her side, starting at her high waist just under her chest, ripping through her kimono to her thigh. Most likely it came from claws. Sesshomaru's icy expression changed to murderous in an incant and he set his hand itching toward the hilt of the Tensaiga as he searched for the cause.
Just then a boy stepped from the shadows on the other side of the clearing. His body glowed with power, the sacred power of the Shikon no Tama, which had been absorbed into his body. The pupils and irises of his murderous eyes were an icy blue, but where they were normally white a blood red had invaded, filling them completely. Purple demon markings drifted upon his cheeks in angry spikes and his claws dripped with the female's blood. The same blood spattered his body as well, although it was hidden from sight by his red outfit. The same was not applicable with his waist-length, beautiful silver hair, which had red splotches staining it from the moon's caress. But most demoralizing in Sesshomaru's view was that he was related, if obscurely, to the smirking Hanyou. His hatred intensified as he realized that the smirk was caused completely by the girl's pain. Rushing forward in hatred, his power intensified tenfold by his anger, Sesshomaru's energy whip slashed down on his half brother.
"You're dead, half-brother," he growled. Inuyasha blocked the energy whip with his Tetsuiga, but dropped it in horror, walking back a few stunned steps, staring at his newly scorched hand. The Tetsuiga had abandoned him because of his loss of loyalty to the ningen race. On an impulse, the lord of the Western Lands picked up the fang, and to his light shock, the barrier accepted him. His care for the girl crumpled on the ground behind him had given him admittance to the fang. Raising it, he waited as his now fully demonic brother shot a blast of Reikai energy at him, probably a new power, compliments of the Shikon Jewel. As the blast engulfed him, Sesshomaru unleashed his new sword's most feared attack: The Backlash Wave.
Inuyasha was surrounded by his own attack. He fell to the ground, unmoving, blood pouring from his wounds. Not stopping to check if he was dead or not, Sesshomaru scooped the girl up in his arms and carried her toward the old woman's cottage, where he knew the girl would get fair, free treatment. His long strides carried him away from the boy on the ground, and didn't worry about the female's blood staining his immaculate ivory outfit, or the hand lightly clutching his…what do you call that thing? The fluffy thing.

Ok so review and tell me who the girl was. I'll message you back if you have an account or if you tell me your email, if you decide to review anonymously. Remember, I need three people to get it right to do my UhBakmatsu chapter sooner!
Sayonara!
Kage.
P.S. It's not Kagome or a Kagome-clone (see my profile, at the bottom).
