This is the 16th chapter for my fanfic!
The epic battle between Lady Tsukiyame and Sesshomaru and their arch enemy Naraku's newest resurrected army continues. Read on to find out what happens in this new chapter.
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Inuyasha, this is just my own OC.
"I think NOT!" Lady Tsukiyame said clearly and coldly.
"Angelic Junsuina!" she cried out her attack. A wave of white pure spiritual energy and black magic with a black angelic spirit appeared as she blocked the saimyosho's attack.
Back in the eastern lands and at the evening sunny old battlefield fought Lady Tsukiyame and the fifty resurrected demon samurai warriors of the Axe Tiger. The saimyosho were flying at the wave of pure spiritual energy and black magic, coming from her Kurai ToksusUsagi. The deadly poisonous insects of hell are now mixed in with the blast of the young lady half demoness' attack, showing no signs of dying or becoming purified. Lady Tsukiyame's pure spiritual powers, in that instant, becomes neutralized and the energy and magic quickly dissipates before her eyes.
Lady Tsukiyame was stunned by the neutralizing of her pure spiritual powers. The young lady half demoness' Angelic Junsuina attack is very powerful against unworldly beings, yet the saimyosho were completely unaffected as they were not purified and destroyed. No one could tell she was stunned due to the expressionless look in her eyes.
'What the hell just happened,' Lady Tsukiyame thought, 'My pure spiritual powers have been rendered ineffective against Naraku's deadly insects for some unknown reason.'
"Why is this the case?" she questioned.
"Go after her," the leading warrior commanded, "Saimyosho of hell!"
All the saimyosho of hell began swarming towards Lady Tsukiyame as she swiftly dodges the attack and leapt in the air. With her Kurai ToksusUsagi, the half demon lady warrior hurls white pure spiritual energy and black magic at the deadly poisonous insects to destroy them. They became mixed in with her attack as they continued swarming at her. Her attack has dissipated, and she sees the insects were unaffected by the blast. They were still alive and had not been destroyed and purified. Still, there had to be another way to destroy the saimyosho of hell seeing that they are unworldly beings. The young lady half demoness had no clue on how to go about destroying them.
Her dark magical powers and demonic powers will have no effect on the deadly poisonous insects as they are unworldly beings from hell, nor will her pure spiritual powers work on them as they were neutralized twice. However, she wasn't about to allow the half vermin's army to raid the Lands of the East. They will be dealt with accordingly and she will destroy the demon samurai warriors for good.
Lady Tsukiyame's body remains matter less as she landed back on the ground gracefully with her weapon still drawn. The swarming saimyosho charged and flew through her body like air as if it weren't there, even though it was visibly seen. The deadly poisonous insects of Naraku were unable to poison and kill her, not being able to touch or sting her. Although, the young lady half demoness' pure spiritual powers will have no effect on the saimyosho, they could still be warded off. A white spiritual barrier-like light then manifests, surrounding Lady Tsukiyame's body via a sacred spiritual chant to reflect the deadly insects at a distance. All the insects got pushed back by the powerful spiritual light. It became completely difficult for them to get to her due to struggling with penetrating the white spiritual light.
After going after Lady Tsukiyame a few times without any success, and failing to kill her, all the insects started heading back to the saimyosho hives. Flying back inside the hives that lay on the ground before the demon samurai warriors, the men saw she was still alive and completely unaffected by Naraku's deadly saimyosho. The white spiritual barrier-like light surrounding Lady Tsukiyame's body already dissipated. Not understanding how the young lady half demoness survived and kept Naraku's insects at bay, the leading demon warrior and his men were ready to kill her. That is when the leading demon samurai warrior charged at her without hesitation to take her out.
"You shall perish," the leading warrior stated as their weapons clashed, "Along with your people. Lord Naraku will claim what's rightfully his and these lands shall be under his rulership."
"That will neverhappen," Lady Tsukiyame stated coldly and clearly, "My queendom and lands will NOT be raided and conquered by a lowly venomous scum like Naraku. I will see that you all cease to exist and return to your graves."
"Hn," he said, "You will surrender your rulership and be dethroned, half-breed bitch."
They both fought briefly with their weapons clashing as the young lady half demoness continued blocking the leading demon samurai warrior's attack with her Kurai ToksusUsagi. He lunges at Lady Tsukiyame with his spiked pole weapon to strike her down, unsuccessfully killing her as she swiftly dodges the attack, in her matter less form.
He continues to try and strike her down with his spiked pole weapon, rather than use his sword to fight. The very tall demon samurai warrior swings at the young lady half demoness several times, while obviously becoming agitated with being unable to touch and kill her. He swung away at her petite matter less form, unable to touch her and strike her down. Lady Tsukiyame then severs the warrior's upper body apart from his lower body with her sword from behind, killing him. Shortly afterwards, a lavender light surrounds the warrior's severed body with another shining light coming from the embedded Sacred Shikon Jewel shard in his neck as his severed body fuses back together, bringing him back to life. The Axe Tiger warrior rose and stood to his feet before Lady Tsukiyame, smirking at her non-fatal attempt to destroy him. It was Naraku that brought the warrior back to life.
'What is going on,' Lady Tsukiyame thought, 'Naraku must have done this. He brought the Axe Tiger warrior back to life with the power of the sacred jewel shard.'
"Lady," the leading warrior stated wickedly, still smirking, "So long as we serve under Lord Naraku, we will forever remain invincible. You will never be able to destroy us. Prepare to meet your end and surrender your rulership to our lord."
"Hn," she stated coldly, "Naraku will never claim my queendom or my lands. I will see to it that never happens."
What the leading demon samurai warrior said was, indeed true. Naraku did, in fact grant all the Axe Tiger warriors' permanent lives and rulership under a cross-over throne, while resurrecting them in the netherworld. With the army being under the villain's protection, they shall never perish by the hands of his arch enemies Sesshomaru and Lady Tsukiyame. As they remain in service to her enemy, they can never be destroyed. Still, there must be another way to defeat them and stop Naraku's rule. The young lady half demoness has yet to understand how to do just that. She continues to remain calm, collective, and ice cube cool as usual as she battles with the army.
The other demon samurai warriors began circling around Lady Tsukiyame and the leading warrior as they fought, attempting to make their way to her and overpower her. They had their weapons drawn still, most of whom are only fighting with swords. Sensing and feeling the warriors' attempt to overpower her in numbers, Lady Tsukiyame notices them circling around. The leading demon samurai warrior tries to strike her, and she swiftly dodges the attack, leaping in the air. She then twirls forward and swings her Kurai ToksusUsagi downward with such perfect skill to perform an attack, striking them all down at once.
"Angelic Curse Twister!" Lady Tsukiyame cried out her attack.
White energy, red energy, and a ball of black magic with a black angelic spirit appeared as the attack was hurled towards the warriors from above. All the demon samurai warriors were struck and brutally slain by the huge funnel. The attack dissipates for Lady Tsukiyame to see dead corpses of the slain Axe Tiger warriors lie on the ground as she lands on her feet gracefully, with her weapon still drawn. That is when a shining lavender light surrounds the dead bodies with the embedded sacred jewel shards, glowing brightly. The warriors have been brought back to life by their newest lord and leader, Naraku.
She tirelessly remains in her matter less form and continues battling with the resurrected demon samurai warriors of the Axe Tiger. The fifty men rose to their feet and stood, charging at the young lady half demoness again. The men all performed their own attacks in unison at the command of the leading demon samurai warrior.
Lady Tsukiyame moves and swings her sword with such perfect skill, blocking their attacks with high pressure. White energy and black magic appeared as her attack clashes with the warriors'. She and the demon samurais held their own as the epic battle went on in the old sunny evening battlefield. The warriors were still very determined to follow through with Naraku's plan. The young lady half demoness was determined to put an end to the lowly venomous villain, and his Axe Tiger army accordingly.
'The samurai's attacks show no sign of subsiding or dissipating,' Lady Tsukiyame thought to herself, 'I wonder why this is the case?'
"Why is this happening?" she wondered.
Suddenly, the warriors' unison attacks were hurling towards Lady Tsukiyame as her attack quickly subsides and dissipates before her eyes. The young lady half demoness rarely avoids the blows as she swiftly dodges them, in her matter less form. She will not be able to remain in matter less form for very long as her body will eventually return to its matter form.
A huge beam of white energy came down from above in the almost night time starry sunless sky, striking many warriors. As already expected, the slain demon samurai warriors were brought back to life by their newest leader and lord. That is when Lady Tsukiyame finds Ah Un still suspended in the air as she looks up at him, realizing he was the one that saved her. As usual for her, she didn't verbally thank him, but simply nodded in response to what he did.
She already landed back on her feet gracefully to continue battling it out with the resurrected demon samurai warriors of the Axe Tiger. It may take a lot more to destroy the half vermin's army. Lady Tsukiyame and Sesshomaru might have a tough battle to overcome.
…..
"Ugh," Jaken said bleakly, "Where on earth is this tomb?"
"Hmph." Sesshomaru said irritated.
Sesshomaru and Jaken are continuing to unsuccessfully search for his father's tomb. They have yet to be led in the direction of the correct grave where the great dog demon's remains remain hidden inside his tomb. It was almost as if the young lord demon's father didn't want him to find his grave, fearing he would desecrate it to successfully wield his heirloom, the Tetsusaiga. This, of course, is what Sesshomaru intends to do, believing the heirloom fang is rightfully his. Jaken's moving two-headed staff led them deep into the almost night time forests with the sun barely shining in the evening starry sky.
Back in the western lands, the evening sun was now gone, and the forests were graced with the night time darkness. No other sounds were heard, except the sounds of Jaken's moving two-headed staff before them, flying vultures, and some crickets and fireflies flying around. As they continue to walk silently, the young lord demon and his faithful retainer began heading back towards the clearing near the mountains where they have patrolled and searched earlier. This is the same place Jaken's staff had led them to an incorrect tomb, opposite from the clearing. They couldn't understand as to why they were heading back in the same direction. But nonetheless, Sesshomaru and Jaken kept following behind the two-headed staff.
The moon rose up in the night time starry sky and shined down on them through the trees as they both were walking deep in the forests. Finally, they arrive in the clearing near the mountains. That is when Jaken's two-headed staff stopped moving and fell to the ground before them, suddenly.
"H-huh," Jaken said confused, "What is going on? Why did the staff fall to the ground?"
"Jaken," Sesshomaru commanded, "Pick up the staff and let's go."
"Yes, my lord." he obeyed. Jaken got hold of his two-headed staff.
Sesshomaru began walking ahead again with Jaken following behind, this time as their travel and search continues. They were both leaving the clearing to head back towards the opposite side of the mountains and search further. That is when the young lord demon suddenly stopped in his tracks, after sensing a demonic aura. Jaken immediately stopped to avoid bumping into Sesshomaru's legs unnecessarily.
The demon warriors hid in the forests as they awaited the great and powerful demon lord's arrival. Emerging from behind the trees and into the clearing, the army of fifty demon samurai warriors began circling Sesshomaru and Jaken. All the fifty demon samurai warriors were now surrounding them both with their weapons drawn, ready to take out Sesshomaru. It was his newest enemy Naraku's resurrected army, the demon samurai warriors of the Axe Tiger.
"W-what's going on?!" Jaken said frantically. The little green imp demon stood beside his lord, looking around frantically as they were both being circled.
"Lord Sesshomaru," the leading warrior said, "Lord of the West, are you not?"
"What do you want," Sesshomaru demanded coldly, "What business do you have with me?"
"Lord," he stated wickedly, "We have come to take what rightfully belongs to our lord. Lord Naraku shall reign over the western lands and you shall perish and relinquish your rulership to him!"
"I will see to it that never happens," Sesshomaru states coldly and clearly, "My lands and kingdom will NEVER be under that half vermin's control."
All the fifty demon samurai warriors began charging at the young lord demon. Sesshomaru swiftly leaps in the air and draws his green poison energy whip, ruthlessly killing many of the demon samurai warriors, and a few dodging his attack. He lands back on the ground gracefully with his poison claws still out. That is when he notices a lavender light surrounding the severed bodies of the demon samurai warriors. Another light then begins to shine from the embedded Sacred Shikon Jewel shards, fusing the bodies back together, and bringing the demon warriors back to life. Sesshomaru began to wonder why they were brought back to life.
'This must be Naraku's doing,' Sesshomaru thought to himself, 'Did he bring the demon samurai warriors of the Axe Tiger back to life with the power of the sacred jewel shards?'
"What is the meaning of this." Sesshomaru wondered.
The men rose to their feet and performed their own attacks in unison at the command of the leading demon samurai warrior. The unison attacks were hurled towards Sesshomaru and have subsided and dissipated to reveal that the powerful demon lord was still alive and completely unaffected. The young lord demon had swiftly dodged the blows from the unison attacks and leapt in the air. He draws his green poison energy whip and strikes down all the demon samurai warriors. A lavender light then surrounds the demon warriors' severed bodies as they were fused back together and being brought back to life again. All the men rose back to their feet again, after being brought back to life, ready to take the powerful demon lord out. Sesshomaru stands before them, ready to put an end to them for good.
The leading demon samurai warrior charges at the young lord demon as their weapons clashed. As they both fought each other, the other demon samurai warriors began circling them to make their way to Sesshomaru and overpower him.
Suddenly, the young lord demon's Tenseiga starts pulsating. This is the first time this has happened to the young lord demon. It was weird and strange. Not understanding why this was happening with his heirloom sword, he ignores it and continues fighting with the demon samurai warrior.
He then notices the other demon samurai warriors circling them. They were attempting to try and overpower him and take him out. Of course, Sesshomaru will never allow himself to be slain and dethrone by his arch enemy's resurrected Axe Tiger army. That is when the young lord demon strikes all the demon warriors down and kills them, with his green poison energy whip.
Sesshomaru stood before the dead corpses of the slain demon samurai warriors. Their severed bodies were now surrounded by a lavender light with the sacred jewel shards shining, fusing their bodies back together, and bringing them back to life. He still could not fathom why the warriors kept being brought back to life. It seemed like Naraku was protecting the warriors from being slain by him and Lady Tsukiyame. The venomous villain is, indeed protecting his army from being slain by them with the power of the sacred jewel shards. Thus, it may be difficult for the Axe Tiger demon warriors to be defeated, even though they are technically already dead.
'These demon samurais,' Sesshomaru thought, 'Are unable to be slain for some unknown reason. Is Naraku protecting them with the sacred jewel shards? Or perhaps they are-'
"Why is this happening," Sesshomaru said calmly, looking down at his heirloom, "Why is the Tenseiga pulsating?"
"Lord Sesshomaru," the leading warrior said darkly, ready to charge at him, "You and your people shall perish and never raid these lands again!"
"Leave," he commanded, "LEAVE and get the hell out of my lands!"
The young lord demon's heirloom Tenseiga then starts pulsating again. He ignores the pulses and continues to battle the demon samurai warriors. The leading demon warrior charges at him and their weapons clash again.
Sesshomaru's heirloom Tenseiga continues to pulsate, while he battles with the demon samurai warriors of the Axe Tiger. It was almost as if the heirloom sword were trying to communicate with him. Perhaps this is what will allow the young lord demon to discover how to successfully defeat the demon samurai warriors.
As was expected of Sesshomaru, he reluctantly draws the Tenseiga, believing the powerful fang was useless as it could not kill his enemies. The Tenseiga pulsates a couple times, after being drawn. He then leaps and swings his heirloom with such perfect skill. White healing energy surrounds all the Axe Tiger demon samurai warriors, about to kill them. The attack dissipates and the young lord demon finds a bright pure blue spiritual barrier around the demon warriors, before him. They were all unaffected by his attack as the spiritual barrier had protected them. This happened to be the same pure spiritual barrier Naraku had used to protect his temporary pawn in battle with Lady Tsukiyame and Sesshomaru ten years ago.
'That half vermin,' Sesshomaru thought, 'He's protecting them with a spiritual barrier. Just like he protected that temporary pawn of his Lady Tsukiyame and I fought. Is this why the Tenseiga was pulsating?'
"Now, I understand, "he concluded, "You are nothing more than the living dead. You are unable to be defeated by regular means of battling. Naraku resurrected you all with the power of the sacred jewel shards and sustains your lives under his control. This was purposely done to try and stop me from touching him and defeating you, his newest army."
"Lord," the leading demon warrior stated wickedly, while smirking, "You shall perish and relinquish your power and rulership to Lord Naraku!"
"Hn."
Naraku's spiritual barrier had already dissipated around the demon samurai warriors of the Axe Tiger army. At the command of the leading demon samurai warrior, the fifty men all performed their own attacks in unison to take out Sesshomaru. The unison attacks were hurled towards the young lord demon and blasted into the mountains. He had managed to dodge their attacks swiftly and ready to put an end to the half vermin's army for good.
Noticing Sesshomaru was still alive, the demon samurai warriors were surrounded by an erected pure bright blue spiritual barrier again, protecting them from being struck down. The young lord demon leaps in the air, swings his sword, and white healing energy appears and is hurled towards them. He lands back on the ground gracefully to find that the demon warriors are still alive and had not been slain. The spiritual barrier then dissipates around them as the leading demon samurai warriors stands before the powerful demon Lord of the West, smirking.
"You will never destroy us!" the leading demon warrior stated clearly.
"PERISH!" Sesshomaru states coldly.
They both charged at each other with their weapons clashing. Sesshomaru's Tenseiga is still drawn. The leading demon samurai warrior moves in to try and strike him down, failing to do so as the powerful demon lord dodges the blows. Ready to kill him, he moves in to strike the leading demon samurai warrior. White healing energy appears and is hurled toward him. That is when another pure bright blue spiritual barrier surrounds the warrior's body and protects him from being struck down.
"Men," the leading demon warrior commanded, "Release the Saimyosho of Hell and neutralize that demon lord's healing powers!"
"Tenseiga!" Sesshomaru reluctantly cried out. White healing energy appears as it is hurled towards the saimyosho insects.
All the fifty demon samurai warriors obeyed and threw the saimyosho hives in the air to release the saimyosho. The hives fall on the ground before the men as more saimyosho are released to attack Sesshomaru. The saimyosho insects began flying at the white healing energy, now becoming mixed in with the blast of the young lord demon's attack. Seeing that the saimyosho insects of hell are unworldly beings, they should have been killed. Yet, they show no signs of dying and being destroyed. Sesshomaru's attack instantly becomes neutralized and dissipates before his eyes.
Sesshomaru was stunned and a bit confused as to why this happened. Though, no one would be able to tell due to the expressionless look in his eyes. He then notices more saimyosho coming and draws his green poison energy whip. His Tenseiga is now sheathed. Twirling around with excellent speed with his whip drawn, the deadly insects all fly at him to with most of them getting brutally struck and the rest getting deflected back away from him.
"Saimyosho of Hell," the leading demon warrior commanded, "Attack, now!"
'It is only a matter of time, Lord Sesshomaru,' he thought wickedly, smirking, 'Lord Naraku will reign over these lands and your people, whether you like it or not.'
Unbeknownst to Sesshomaru, the Tenseiga is a legendary sword that not only heals but can also kill beings that are not of the living world. But the Axe Tiger army is still unable to be defeated with his powerful heirloom. Remaining calm and collective, the young lord demon would deal with the demon samurai warriors of the Axe Tiger accordingly and put an end to them, along with his arch enemy Naraku.
