This is the 12th chapter for my fanfic!
Lady Tsukiyame and Sesshomaru have met unexpectedly during a search for the same enemy, Naraku. Read on to find out what happens in this new chapter.
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Inuyasha, this is just my own OC.
"Hmph," Sesshomaru said haughtily, "Me, tell you about Naraku's whereabouts?"
Both of them stood facing each other as the morning sun continued shining down on them with the wind blowing through their hair and clothes. Their expressionless eyes met as the young lady half demoness remained firm on insisting and demanding to find Naraku's location. As was usual for Sesshomaru, his arrogance was apparent as he felt no need to tell the young half demon lady warrior where the venomous being could be found. He was just as arrogant as Lady Tsukiyame was.
'So he doesn't want to tell me, huh?' Lady Tsukiyame thought.
"What do you know about Naraku, lord," she firmly demanded and insisted, "Apparently, he has been escaping from you. And in doing so, I have crossed paths with him. Now, where is he? Tell me, now."
"How dare you demand my lord?!" Jaken yelled. Lady Tsukiyame continued looking at Sesshomaru and ignored him.
Looking at the half demon lady coldly, Sesshomaru said, "You are one persistent wench, aren't you half demon?"
"And you are a persistent dog as well." Lady Tsukiyame replied coldly. She kept her tone even with the young lord demon's.
Not liking that reply one bit, Sesshomaru began walking over to where Lady Tsukiyame stood in an attempt to try and intimidate her. After all, she was nothing more than a half demon…at least to him that's what she was despite her great powerful status. So why wouldn't she be as he approached her?
Still, the young lady half demoness wasn't the least bit concerned about the young lord demon's approaching as she was not intimidated by him at all. She had no reason to be. Both were in equal status of power and ruling with Lady Tsukiyame being slightly above Sesshomaru in ranking due to her amazing growth, and the surpassing of her mother to become a great and powerful daihanyou. She's not like all the other half demons Sesshomaru may have come across, including his half-brother InuYasha. The half demon lady warrior was very different.
Sesshomaru, of course, was surprised as he expected the half demon lady to cave in out of fear from him walking up to her and run away. But instead, Lady Tsukiyame stood her ground and did not move or leave. No one could tell he was surprised due to the cold expressionless look in his golden amber eyes. They just briefly stood there in the huge sunny clearing by the destroyed secluded home silently looking at each other coldly and expressionlessly.
"You will cease your insults, half-breed." Sesshomaru warned.
"The gaining-the-upper-hand façade doesn't flatter you at all, dog lord." Lady Tsukiyame stated nonchalantly.
Sesshomaru drew his green poisonous energy whip and began swinging at the young lady half demoness intending to kill her for her words. Lady Tsukiyame's matter less body was visible, but he was not able to strike her as his whip was going through her body like air. It was as if she was never there, even though her body was visibly seen. She stood there in her matter less form, secretly amused on the inside as the young lord demon had no idea who the hell he was dealing with. He did not know at all!
'This fool has no idea who the fuck he's dealing with.' Lady Tsukiyame thought, while smirking.
That is when the young half demon lady warrior had a white spiritual barrier-like light manifest before her via a sacred spiritual chant to shatter Sesshomaru's green energy whip, purifying it instantly to where he could not continue to try and strike her. The poisonous green shatters were like huge shards as they were deflected towards him, and he had dodged the attack. He then stops drawing his poisonous whip, leaving his glowing clawed hand down by his side and landing back on the ground gracefully, looking at her coldly and unamused. The white light disappeared completely afterwards, and Lady Tsukiyame was no longer in matter less form.
The words 'half-demon' and 'half-breed' were simply that…words, which did not seem to bother the young lady half demoness at all. It is a known fact that people will only pick at someone if they really think certain words will bother them. The young lord demon's icy glare met with Lady Tsukiyame's cold narrowed eyes. Naraku and Jaakugou were her only concern right now as unnecessary conflicts were not interesting to her.
Yes, Sesshomaru was, indeed trying to gain the upper hand through intimidation. She could see right through that façade due to sensing, feeling, and hearing his feelings and thoughts. Nothing could get passed her, when it came to the ability to read people in this way. They both began to feel indifferent towards one another. However, Lady Tsukiyame was not going anywhere, until he tells her what he knows about Naraku.
"You lowly half-demon wench," Jaken demanded, swinging his staff, "Why don't you just leave, now!"
As usual for Lady Tsukiyame, she did not look at the little green imp demon, but simply said "Lowly, huh? I assume you're talking about yourself, huh little toad?"
"I'm NOT a toad!" he shrieked, feeling really insulted.
Lady Tsukiyame's eyes hadn't left Sesshomaru as she firmly demanded, "Now, where is Naraku headed to? What do you know about him?"
"Your conflict with that vermin is of no concern to me," Sesshomaru simply stated, "You are on your own with finding him. I am in no obligation to give you any information."
"As a matter of fact, you ARE," she said firmly and insisted, "Unless you have no interest in discovering the newest secret weapon to defeating him and settling the score with him."
Sesshomaru then looks and eyes the dark half demon lady warrior with suspicion as it was uncertain if she was being honest. He briefly wondered whether the young lady half demoness could be trusted? Is there in fact a secret to destroying Naraku for good that he did not know about, yet that Lady Tsukiyame knew? He didn't yet know that it would also take pure spiritual power and knowledge to defeat the half spider demon, along with demonic powers to destroy him. She possesses this knowledge as someone that has both pure spiritual powers and dark angelic demonic powers.
'A secret weapon to defeat Naraku,' Sesshomaru thought curiously, 'What is she talking about? She must know something about Naraku that I don't.'
"Exactly what are you talking about?" he questioned.
"Naraku now possesses a sacred weapon," Lady Tsukiyame continued, "It once belonged to a heavenly demon priestess as you probably already know. It is the holy sacred scepter weapon—a staff that sends unworldly beings to the hell fires. The strongest most powerful demons and half demons can even become instantly purified via being destroyed by the staff's sacred pure spiritual powers. Even you won't stand a chance against him if you're not aware of what it will take to destroy him."
Both stood silently briefly in the grassy sunny clearing. Naraku, possessing a holy sacred weapon? Now it all makes since. Sesshomaru knew the venomous being attacked the heavenly demons at the sacred mountain and killed them as he was searching, and came across his scent at the mountain. Naraku slew the holy demons for the sacred weapon. Not to mention that Naraku's temporary pawn had a pure bright blue spiritual barrier protecting it.
'That bright pure spiritual barrier that manifested around that vermin's pawn,' Sesshomaru thought, 'It must be true that he'd gained possession of a new sacred weapon.'
"I see," he said, "So he has gained possession of a sacred spiritual weapon in an attempt to keep me from touching him. Not to mention that he seems to be buying time for escaping. He such an audacious character."
"He is, yes," Lady Tsukiyame added, "And a cowardly one at that."
Jaken walked beside Sesshomaru as he said and wondered warily, "Lord Sesshomaru, can we really trust her? Is what she is saying true?"
"Look lord," Lady Tsukiyame stated and insisted, "Whether you like it or not, you are not the only one that is pursuing the defeating of Naraku. Now, tell me his whereabouts and what you know about him."
"Half-demon," he simply stated, "You can insist and demand all you want. I am in no obligation to disclose any information with you. You are on you own with searching for his whereabouts. Though, I warn you, I shall be the one to destroy Naraku."
"I don't think so, dog lord." she said firmly.
Standing before each other briefly without saying another word, Sesshomaru leaves the grassy clearing ordering Jaken to come. They both leave as Lady Tsukiyame eyed the young demon lord as she was determined to discover what he knew about her new enemy's whereabouts, even if it meant the young half demon lady getting the information from him through telepathic mind control.
Still, she knew it would be her that will put an end to Naraku, not Sesshomaru. The young lady half demoness began leaving the grassy clearing where she headed back into the forests to move forward with her search for Naraku and Jaakugou.
