This is the 10th chapter for my fanfic!
Read on to find out what happens in this new chapter.
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Inuyasha, this is just my own OC.
A young lord demon arrived at the sacred mountain of the heavenly demons where Naraku stole the sacred holy scepter, and had killed the demons. There were also birds flying around and leaving the mountain as well. The powerful demon lord was tall, slender and athletically built, and fair skinned with long silver hair, and golden amber eyes. He had a Prussian blue crescent moon on his forehead, one red stripe on each eyelid, and two magenta stripes on each cheek. He also wore predominantly white clothing with a white fury cloak over his right shoulder, armor, and carried a sword at his left side. It was no one other than Sesshomaru, whom is the Lord of the Western Lands, and the dog demon tribe.
"Lord Sesshomaru!" a voice cried out from behind. A green imp demon named Jaken in a brown kimono, holding a two-headed staff rushed over to join the demon lord.
"Lord Sesshomaru," Jaken said, "What kind of mountain is this? It's so sacred. It looks like no one is no longer here."
"It looks like it is a sacred mountain of heavenly beings," Sesshomaru said, "The demon tribe of a high priestess from the heavens. Naraku must've passed by here and killed them."
'That filthy half vermin was definitely here.' he thought.
Indeed, Naraku was there as his scent was still present at the sacred mountain. The demon lord started looking around the mountain peaks, an then notices the top of the mountain where he had flown up to, to see what could be found. What he found on the top mountain was an empty gold storage box where a weapon used to be, and dead corpses of demon bones. He saw that a weapon had been stolen, hence why the heavenly demons were killed. The heavenly demons of the demon high priestess were now dead as they had been killed by Naraku for the sacred weapon.
'How is it that such beings were killed by a lowly scum, like him?' Sesshomaru thought casually.
"What is up there, my lord?" Jaken asked, waiting down by the mountain.
"Naraku sure is an audacious crafty character, isn't here." Sesshomaru said calmly, looking away as usual.
"Ah…yeah, I guess." Jaken said a bit puzzled.
"Naraku isn't here anymore," he stated, "Nor is there anyone alive that would know about his whereabouts."
It was absolutely true, though. Naraku was very crafty and audacious. He will stop at nothing to pawn, deceive, and manipulate people in order to get what he wants. The venomous villain was no longer around, and was long gone from the sacred mountain. There was no telling where else Sesshomaru could search for his enemy Naraku to defeat him. An enemy that had deceived him in an attempt to trap and have him killed.
Recently, Naraku attempted to deceive Sesshomaru through manipulation and deception. It was when he began his search for his father's tomb and heirloom Tetsusaiga. Never being pleased or thrilled about the fact that his father bestowed the Tenseiga to him, the young lord demon has been out on a search for the other heirloom. Learning about this, Naraku had resorted to trickery by trying to lure the demon lord to his death, using his hatred for his half demon half-brother Inuyasha and his desire to claim the Tetsusaiga to trap him. Manipulating and deceiving Sesshomaru in this matter, he is now on a search to hunt down the despicable vermin and destroy him. Settling this score with Naraku will be dealt with once and for all as Sesshomaru will not let him get away with what he did. This is what had led him and his retainer Jaken on a search, to find him.
"Let's go, Jaken." Sesshomaru ordered. He flew back down to where Jaken stood.
"Yes, my lord." Jaken replied, following behind his lord.
As they were leaving the sacred mountain, Sesshomaru comes across an unfamiliar scent. It was pure and dark. Someone with both a pure scent and a dark angelic scent is what he was sensing in the vicinity of the sacred mountain. But who was it coming from? Jaken also notices the scent, after the lord demon stops in his tracks briefly, and he lightly bumped into his legs.
"That scent," Sesshomaru wondered, "Where did it come from? Why is it here?"
"You're right," Jaken said, "It is a bit odd that such a scent would be here, my lord."
Sensing the pure and dark smell again, Sesshomaru could tell it was the scent of a mere half demon—a half demon with a pure spiritual scent and a dark angelic scent no less. That's when he wondered if this was a new shapeshifting form Naraku took on to disguise himself again, to increase his demonic power to destroy him. But that was not possible. Naraku can't absorb anything or anyone that exudes such pure spiritual powers. Sesshomaru then feels indifferent about it, and so he and Jaken left and kept on going.
Leaving the sacred mountain, they took the same route back into the forest, passing by a flowing stream as they continued down the pathway. It was a nice night with clear starry skies and a half-moon shining down beautifully on them from the sky. The sounds of the flowing stream were peaceful, and there were warm gentle breezes coming by, blowing through Sesshomaru's hair and clothes. Yes! It was still hot and humid outside, even though night-time had graced the forests. Crickets, fireflies, and the sound of flying vultures could be seen and heard. Sesshomaru and Jaken walked in silence as the demon lord preferred it to be that way.
There was something on his mind, but Jaken couldn't quite figure out what his lord was thinking about. But he had an idea of what it could be. He didn't dare question or say anything to Sesshomaru.
'Naraku,' Sesshomaru thought, 'Where could he have gone? I will find that half demon and kill him.'
Sesshomaru and Jaken had a long silent walk in the forest with the young lord demon walking ahead, and looking straight ahead as usual. They finally arrived at a clearing where a flowing river was found opposite from where they were. More warm gentle breezes came as the two of them walked, making their way alongside the flowing river to continue the search for Naraku. Sesshomaru was still ahead with his faithful retainer Jaken following behind as the walk continued beside the peaceful flowing river. That's when he notices a water fall hot spring up ahead where the flowing river ended.
The young lord demon could use a nice hot bath. It's been a while since he had seen a hot spring during his travels. Both of them continued on in the direction of the water fall hot spring. The walk was pretty quick due to them being near the end of the flowing river. It was becoming noisier and noisier as well as slightly foggy as the two of them arrived at the hot spring with water falls.
"Jaken, you stay here." Sesshomaru told him looking away, while stripping himself of his armor, fury cloak and Tenseiga.
"Yes, my lord." Jaken said.
The young lord demon headed over to the hot spring, after leaving his fury cloak, armor and sword up against the tall stone wall that provided privacy for bathing, where Jaken sat to wait. He removed his boots, socks and haori. A reflection suddenly appeared, when he was about to remove his kimono pants and undergarments. The reflection was faint and unclear due to the ripples, but the demon lord was still able to see what it actually was. It was a reflection of an unknown young woman, whom appeared to be a kurai angelic demon lady…at least that's what it had looked like to Sesshomaru. Noticing it and looking up close, he could tell that the woman was not fully demon, but instead half demon due to her not having huge black angel wings. The young lady half demoness had long gorgeous very dark silver hair that was up in two ponytails with bangs, and hair hanging down by each side of her face and neck. She was also tan skinned with lilac eyes, dressed in predominantly black clothing with black armor, and carried two swords at her right side.
'Why am I seeing an unknown reflection in the water,' Sesshomaru thought questioningly, 'Is there a reason that this is happening?'
"Very odd." Sesshomaru added casually.
He felt a bit uncomfortable, after seeing that reflection, even though no one would be able to tell due to the expressionless look in his eyes and his stoic nature. Sesshomaru didn't know who it was or why this reflection appeared in the hot flowing water briefly, before disappearing. There wasn't anyone else there, except him and Jaken.
Finally, removing the rest of his clothing, the young lord demon goes into the hot spring. His slender, muscular athletically built body was revealed, along with the same two magenta stripes being revealed on his wrists, hips and ankles. His long gorgeous silver hair flowed down nicely to his knees. Sesshomaru looked at the hot water falls as he sat in the shallow water to soak, allowing his body to be thoroughly cleansed. Sitting in the shallow water a while longer as the water was allowed to rush back and forth towards his wet body, his silver hair strands and wet body were sparkly. After he got done soaking, the young lord demon went over to the hot water falls to start cleansing himself even more thoroughly, so that he could get back to searching for his enemy Naraku.
Sesshomaru's wet body and silver hair glistened as he continued to wash. The falling hot spring water ran down his back and through his hair. He remained in the water falls as he was about to be finished bathing.
…..
Meanwhile, Lady Tsukiyame was enduring a nice bath under the water falls at a hot spring where there were some trees and an open pathway of hot flowing shallow water behind her. There were also more water falls before her. The young lady half demoness' wet body and beautiful very dark silver hair glistened with her sterling silver, silver real diamond naval jewelry gleaming with bright sparkle from afar.
She remained at the water fall hot spring for a while, until her body was thoroughly cleansed. Then it was time to get out of the water, and allow her body and hair to air dry. Before doing so, she put her cleansers, soaps, floss, toothbrush, and toothpaste away inside a tiny string bag. The tiny string bag was then put away inside her shawl.
Now, Lady Tsukiyame was sitting at the edge of the water falls hot spring as there were some warm gentle breezes coming by, starting to dry her. It was such a beautiful peaceful night. She looked up at the starry night time sky with shooting stars occurring, and a lovely half-moon being present. Then she lied back against the stone wall and lightly closed her eyes, falling asleep unintendedly.
…..
…It was now late in the evening and the setting sun was barely seen in the sky, meaning the night time was now gracing the beautiful beach. The sky was starry with a beautiful red full moon and the once peaceful ocean was becoming wild, and rough with huge waves rising high towards the sky as if joining with the red moon. The higher and closer the waves got, the redder the moon was turning. The water was also hitting the beautiful brown sandy shore and huge rocks with the mountains being in the background.
Two shadowy figures were suspended in the air. Their hair and clothes glistened red from the red full moon shining down on them in the night-time starry sky. One of the shadowy figures was Lady Tsukiyame, whom is a great and powerful daihanyou. She was in her demon form and suspended in the air, facing an unknown great and powerful daiyoukai. The young lady half demoness transformed into her demon form, and now has stunning huge black angel wings and her eye irises were a beautiful blood red. Before her was an unknown demon lord. He also had a shadowy figure and he is tall with long silver hair, wearing predominantly white clothing with armor, a fury cloak over his right shoulder, and looked to carry a sword at his left side. Both of them were facing each other as they held expressionless looks in their eyes. The young lady half demoness' expressionless blood red eyes were looking back into the unknown demon lord's eyes, and the lord demon's expressionless golden amber eyes were looking back into hers. It looked as if there was a sign of love as Lady Tsukiyame was an archetype of the dark demonic feminine warrior with the demon lord being the archetype of the dark demonic masculine warrior.
The lord demon, however; wasn't a kurai angel and looked to have come from a completely different demon tribe. Still, they were both perfect archetypes of the tsuki and the umi. He compliments Lady Tsukiyame's femininity as a woman, and she compliments his masculinity as a man. The powerful daihanyou began gliding over to the demon lord in her demon form, and the powerful daiyoukai began gliding towards her. They were about to join together in love and romance. As they joined, the ocean becomes wilder and rough, while going up towards the red full moon as it continuously turned redder…
…..
That's when Lady Tsukiyame woke up to find the sunrise now coming, realizing she had slept all night at the water fall hot spring against the stone wall, and that her body was now fully dry. She had also awoken from yet another unexpected dream—a dream about the red moon. She wasn't sure why she had dreamt that dream, nor did she know what it was about or what it is supposed to mean as far as she was concerned. But it was, in fact a dream about the red moon and its deep meaning about love, romance, and intimacy. It is a sacred meaning of her kurai angelic demon tribal heritage as the tsuki and umi is.
"What the hell was that about," Lady Tsukiyame said to herself, "Why do I keep having such dreams? About the red moon of all things."
'I never expected to have these dreams,' she thought, 'But it is really odd that this is continuing to happen. It is unexplainable.'
The young lady half demoness had no answer as to why this was happening. Internally, she felt uncomfortable after having that unexpected dream, and was not fond of the feelings that came from it at all, remaining stoic and expressionless on the outside. Wishing that these dreams would stop, they just keep coming for some unknown reason.
Nonetheless, it was time for the long journey to continue as the search for her enemies is far from over. She began getting dressed as she puts her socks and panties back on. She was now putting her black armguards, short black hakama skirt, black shiny low-cut bombshell broken wood pattern armor with silver and lilac full moon print shoulder straps, and black boots back on. Next, she fixed her hair back into the two ponytails with her white hair bands. The right one being very high and the left one being lower with bangs and some hair hanging down by each side of her face and neck. Then she puts her sterling silver, blood red real diamond long earrings and necklace back on, along with putting on her makeup. Her top eyelids were now colored lilac, and her lips were colored red. Now, the young lady half demoness was ready to put her two swords back in her two skinny silver and lilac full moon print sashes, at her left side. Then she puts her black shawl with the silver and lilac full moon print back on, tying it low in the front to hang long, and reveal her armor.
Lady Tsukiyame is ready and prepared to take her leave of the water fall hot spring to continue the search for Jaakugou and Naraku. And so she starts heading west to see what can be found, regarding the whereabouts of her enemies.
"They must be found soon." Lady Tsukiyame stated firmly.
This was the tenth chapter. Lady Tsukiyame's search for her enemies Naraku and Jaakugou will continue. Stay tuned to see what happens with the young lady half demoness' search for her enemies.
I will be back next week with the next chapter!
Until then, bye for now!
