Chapter four

The unfortunate incident

More than a little bit shocked, Kagome cast the man in front of her a strange glance and asked, "What?"

"Forget it." Regaining his cold facade, Sesshoumaru began to stalk away.

'What a strange youkai.' Kagome thought as she stood there for a second staring at where the demon had been not a second before. Turning to go and meet some townspeople, Kagome simply forgot all about that incident.

'What was I doing?' the cold youkai thought. 'That had been all too strange; but I have more important things to ponder of at this moment. A banquet where I am to choose a women as my mate. How unbearably terrible.' Sesshoumaru continued to ponder and wonder and his feet was given the title of captain at the moment, going wherever it pleased as the remaining parts of Sesshoumaru followed like a loyal servant.

Before he had gone too far, he found himself coming face to face with a man. Not just any man. It was a hanyou. Sesshoumaru immediately snapped back to reality and looked at the hanyou with an expression-less gaze. He appeared to have shoulder-length of black, wavy hair and he had red eyes that darted back and forth.

"Why do you block my way." Sesshoumaru asked coldly.

"Don't tell me you forgot me already, Sesshoumaru." He smirked as his eyes narrowed.

Thinking back a while, Sesshoumaru prowled through his memory and after long while, found what he was looking for. The distasteful man before him was Naraku, their family's most hated enemy. He was once an advisor of the Lord Inutaisho, that was, until he betrayed the Lord and told the whole Northern lands that Inutaisho was plotting against them, causing the North to start a war against the West. Sesshoumaru growled.

"Remembering me already? I'm ecstatic." He continued to mock Sesshoumaru until Toukijin was held in the angered youkai's hand.

Wasting no more breath for the scum in front of him, Sesshoumaru slid forward and with a flick of his wrist, managed to cut off Naraku's head.

An eyrie silence followed that and while Sesshoumaru was in shock at how easy that had been, the true Naraku appeared from behind and punctured Sesshoumaru's back with one of his tentacles.

Spitting out blood, Sesshoumaru proceeded to attack with Toukijin, block a tentacle, dodge, leap and all this while, he failed to notice that he was soaking in his own blood. The battle went on for at least ten minutes before Sesshoumaru thought of something and went charging for Naraku, slashing him in his back and managing to finally anger Naraku.

Before, Naraku had simply been toying with Sesshoumaru. He found that it was getting dull playing with him and with an extra special tentacle that came out of its back, he allowed it to make its way for Sesshoumaru. Dodging, but barely in time, he felt the tentacle scrape his leg and touch flesh.

Pleased for some particular reason, Naraku chose this moment to dissipate into black smoke.

'He he he. He won't know what hit him till it's too late.' Were Naraku's final thoughts as he disappeared.

As he saw his enemy fly away, he felt weak but he ignored it and continued to head on. That is, until he collapsed onto the ground. The last thing he remembered before losing conscience was someone running over to him.

She felt an ominous feeling not too far away. Deciding to check upon it, she turned to the villager that had kindly offered her food and water.

"I am sorry. I must go and check something out. I'll come back later to repay you for your generosity and delicious food!" Kagome said cheerfully as she headed to where she felt this feeling of terror originate.

Around a quarter way there, Kagome began feeling another presence. It reminded her of something but she was not quite sure.

Now, almost there, she suddenly felt the hair on her arm that had previously been standing on tip-toes, calm down. Whatever that had been, had left and on the clearing, it seemed someone was unconscious.

Moving forward now, her eyes widened to see that it was indeed the expressionless youkai she had spoken to not even an hour ago.

Running forward, she wondered what had happened as she checked his body for all wounds and damages.

Author's note:

Wow! Thanks so much for the reviews. And...I'm sorry that Sessy has been ooc. I promise he will go back to character now. hehe

As to Kikyo...Nothing to say about it. She WILL be evil now cause just check out this poll!

Good Kikyo: l l

From this, I have learned that many people wish Kikyo to be dead. Technically she is...but.. I was sort of hoping for a good kikyo in this one. sigh O well.

I've also planned out most of the story now and I know for one that we are NOWHERE near the plot yet. Maybe I'll start making my chappies longer to make it in 25. Seeya now!
