Time of Heaven and Hell
Chapter Eleven
Sesshomaru's P.O.V
I can smell Naraku's castle now, and also the strange smell of another demon heading in the same direction as I am heading. I can smell that he is a full fledged demon, and that human's surround it. They must be leading it to Naraku's castle, but why? And who sent the demon? I begin to run now to the castle, I jump up the walls not bothering with the front entrance. I can smell the demon coming closer as I land in the courtyard.
I do not smell Naraku for some reason and it seems like the castle has been abandoned. I hear a loud roaring from another direction, where the front gate is. A loud explosion sounds through out the night, as the demon bust the large gate open.
I curse and run inside, slamming into every room, hoping that my sense of smell is wrong and that Naraku is somewhere in the castle.
Naraku and Kagura
"My Lord, why did we leave the castle wide open for someone to come in?" Kagura asks but gets no reply. They are flying in the air now over the large expanse of the forest.
Fifteen minutes later Naraku talks, "Kagura you will go to that pathetic winches kingdom and kill her. I know that she has sent a demon to try and kill me. It is a pathetic attempt so make sure she is dead."
"Yes my Lord, may I inquire as to where you are going?"
"Sesshomaru had resided in a Demon Slayer village, his brother must be there, I am going to destroy this village."
"Very well my Lord, I will report to you once I have completed my task." Kagura says and flies in another direction.
Demon Slayer Village
"My Lady, our scouts say that a dark force is coming this way. What do we do?" A man of the village asks Sango.
"Get the Slayers ready."
The man bows and runs out, making his exit.
"What's going on Sango?" Inuyasha asks.
"A demon is coming this way. I want you to go back to your room and stay there Inuyasha."
"But I can help."
"I don't want you hurt when your brother comes back, you know it is the full moon tonight, and you in human form can get hurt easily."
Inuyasha sighs before leaving.
Naraku's Castle
Sesshomaru jumps up in the air dodging the large hand that comes down on him. He lands back on his feet as the demon attacks him again.
"Poison claw." Sesshomaru calls as he runs toward the demon hitting its arm. The demon jumps back, taking his arm with him; he connects it back to the separated limb, letting it heal together.
A green whip comes out from Sesshomaru's fingers, which he uses to hit the demon. The demon raises his arms to block the blows and ends up screaming in pain as the whip lashes through its skin.
While the demon is on its knees Sesshomaru lunges to him, retracting his whip. He hits the demon from the side of the neck with his poison claw, slicing the demons head completely off.
Sesshomaru jumps back and sighs. He turns and is prepared to leave the castle when the demon gets up again, head-less though. A dark blood is spewing out of the head-less neck.
It runs toward Sesshomaru slamming his hand into his chest. Sesshomaru flies backward landing on his back. He is up again in a flash. The demon charges toward him again, swinging his arms wildly.
Sesshomaru grabs the demons arm and swings him over his head with his demon strength. Sesshomaru jumps back just as arrows are sent flying toward him. He looks to see the men that had led the demon here are attacking. He swiftly runs toward them, picking some up by the neck and throwing them to the side. He brings out his whip again lashing at the frail human flesh.
After finishing the humans off he turns back to the demon. The demon is on its hands and knees, blood still pouring out of the neck. Sesshomaru runs toward it, bringing his poison claw to slice cleanly straight through the demon, slicing him in half.
Where could Naraku be? Sesshomaru asks himself mentally.
Sesshomaru jumps down from the castle walls and begins to run back to the Slayer Village.
