This is the 21st chapter for my fanfic!
Both Lady Tsukiyame and Sesshomaru travel to the netherworld to go undercover and put a stop to Naraku's evil plan. Read on to find out what happens in this new chapter.
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Inuyasha, this is just my own OC.
In the galaxy-like and dark land called the underworld or the meido stood a beautiful hell empress demoness on a concrete walkway with many more walkways connecting, surrounded by huge dark pits, and one lovely palace in the center. The beloved Empress of the Underworld and Netherworld took her leave to do extra patrols in both territories. Now that she knew of the wicked lowly half demon Naraku that seek to do her and her tribe harm, keeping her lands and empire safe was her only concern.
She had many beautiful palaces throughout the underworld and the netherworld. Each were filled with servants, second in command leaders, and sentinels that were guarding them. Empress Jigo Yuu without a doubt, had ultimate and supreme power. Surely, Naraku was in pursuit of it, along with both Lady Tsukiyame and Sesshomaru's power and rulership. The empress demoness was finally done with patrolling the underworld and was ready to go back to the netherworld to do more patrols. Opening a new portal to return, she traveled through the light and bright vortex, and arrived back in the netherworld.
Now, the bright and foggy land called the netherworld or the nezarawudo was being patrolled for possible danger. There, Empress Jigo Yuu's many other lovely palaces could be seen. Each palace had gorgeous concrete and pea stone walkways and steps. Some were floating on fog. Some were on salad ground. Skeleton birds passed by and flew around. It was bright and the fog slightly hid the lands like a cloud.
While doing her patrol, the empress demoness looked ahead into the bright fogginess delightedly as she thought about the worship service that would be taking place soon at the hell demon tribe's sacred demon temple. A worship service she will be hosting to show love for and give thanks, praise, and honor to the wonderful Devillesses that not only govern the sub-worlds they reside in, but also are the mothers of the hell demon tribe. They govern the unworldly realms, such as the netherworld and the underworld where the hell demon tribe resides, and of course, the depths of hell. The very places both humans and demons can and would spend eternity in after death. They are the beloved rulers that govern the Eternity Time, the Jigoku Hell Fires, and the Inevitable Acceptance of Death—the functions of the sub-worlds. The Devillesses are the equivalent to that of a Goddess, except are wonderfully supreme ruling and lovely hell demonesses. These are the very women that had birthed the hell demon tribe and the time will come soon to have a worship service to worship them. Empress Jigo Yuu could not help but reminisce about this great celebration.
Then she came back to reality as she thought of the potential dangers that await her people, lands, and empire. She and her fellow tribe would be attacked by the evil villain Naraku, who seeks supreme power and would without a doubt attempt to dethrone her and force her people into servitude under him. He also intends to use her fellow tribe members as bait to attack her ally, Lady Tsukiyame.
As she was continuing her patrol for the lands, in the netherworld, one of the empress demoness' second in command sought her out with some horrible news. An elderly hell demon woman dressed in a black and white kimono and armed with a sword approached her.
"Empress Jigo Yuu," the elderly hell demon woman stated, "I'm afraid I have not so great news! It is regarding a potentially dangerous evil demon."
"Please do continue, Yoru." Empress Jigo Yuu told her. She turned and faced the elderly hell demon woman.
"A huge dark cloud of miasma is approaching the homelands right now," she alerted, "It was last seen by our tribe's demon grave burial site where I was keeping watch over. An evil demon appears to have traveled here to the netherworld inside the dark cloud through a portal and will soon be arriving. It seems he is unable to be slain by unworldly weapons or attacks due to him being from the living world. So, I have erected a barrier over the burial site and told the servants that were cleaning to take cover. I didn't know what else to do. But you must go and take care of this demon."
"Yes, of course, thank you," she nodded and ordered, "I will go deal with the disturbance. Both you and Yuki alert all the sentinels and have the servents take cover, until I return."
"Yes, and you're welcome."
The elderly hell demon woman had done as she was told and had alerted the sentinels and servants about the potential danger. Empress Jigo Yuu could sense the evil demonic aura as she was calmly and briskly making her way towards the evil presence. Now, she was suspended in the air before the dark miasma cloud that had appeared with her sword drawn, ready to slay the troublesome demon. Everything had turned almost pitch black as the huge dark cloud was now in the vicinity and heading towards her lands and empire. Suddenly, an unfamiliar dark voice could be heard from inside the miasma cloud.
The smell of the deadly miasma was also present and in fact dangerous to even the most great and powerful daiyoukais like the empress demoness herself. Even someone as powerful as her would not be able to withstand those toxic fumes for very long.
"You foolish unworldly beings shall PERISH," the dark voice stated, "And this unworldly realm shall be mine to lay claim over, along with the underworld becoming mine as well."
"You LEAVE my territory, now!" Empress Jigo Yuu commanded coldly.
"Devil Flame Whirls!" she cried out her attack.
She swung her sword and sent white energy and whirling lilac energy at the demon inside the dark miasma cloud. Her attack was hurled towards him with such perfect skill as the huge blast engulfs the evil venomous demon, ready to destroy him. Then the empress demoness' attack dissipates and subsides for her to find that the fool had not be slain. He was completely unaffected, while remaining inside the cloud. A bright pure blue spiritual barrier had been erected and protected him from being struck down.
"A pure bright blue spiritual barrier," Empress Jigo Yuu demanded and said smugly, "You must be the wicked half demon Naraku, are you not?! I expected to be faced with an army, and yet you have come alone. You've got guts facing me on your own, half demon."
"Die!" Naraku hissed darkly, smirking.
Naraku said nothing and simply ignored the empress demoness' demand and her words and kept attacking. He remained hidden inside his black cloud of miasma and proceeded to attack. Some tentacles were then shot out at her. She briskly dodges the tentacles, obliterating them away with her sword, sending white energy and lilac energy towards the lowly half-breed. The half vermin that dared to attempt to invade her lands and attack her tribe would be dealt with accordingly. As more tentacles were sent out, they were obliterated by Empress Jigo Yuu as she briskly glides towards him to strike him down. White energy and whirling lilac energy were hurling towards him to destroy him. A pure bright blue spiritual barrier then surrounds the cloud of miasma with Naraku inside, protecting him once again. The battle would need to come to an end soon.
The venomous villain was ready to strike the empress demoness with his sacred holy scepter weapon and damn her to the eternal hell fires. Before that could happen, Empress Jigo Yuu quickly zooms as she dodges the attack and avoids the pure bright blue spiritual rays of the blast. A pathway to the hell fires briefly opened and began to closeup immediately as there was no sight of the empress demoness or other unworldly beings present to be damned. All the rays dissipated and dissolved into the dark and black miasma filled air. Landing gracefully down atop of a nearby tall and large rock. He was ready to send more pure spirituals rays at the empress demoness again to kill her.
"I shall deliver the final blow," Naraku said darkly and evilly, "And you will be damned to hell forever! This time, I will not miss my empress."
"I think NOT," Empress Jigo Yuu stated coldly, "Half-breed! You just try and come after me again. I will make sure you cease to exist and that you'll never set foot in these lands of mine again."
"Hmph." he said darkly. Naraku swings his weapon and sends out more pure spiritual rays.
"Fiery Auriferous Backlash Twister!" she cried out her attack.
With such perfect skill, Empress Jigo Yuu holds her sword in front of her with the blade facing Naraku's dark miasma cloud, and without any swordman movements, a wave of white energy and gold energy started hurling towards him. The wave formed into a huge horizontal twister as it deflects and shatters the pure blue spiritual rays. Being stunned by what had just happened to his attack, Naraku found himself feeling somewhat baffled as he remained inside his dark miasma cloud before her. He then quickly dodges the shattered pure spiritual rays that were coming at him. The half spider demon was more determined than ever to take her out and lay claim over her lands.
As Naraku attempts to kill her, he found himself not being able to make out where she was headed to. Her sudden movement was a blur. She had disappeared before him rapidly, along with hiding her demonic aura and was now coming towards him from above. When he had tried to attack it was too late. Empress Jigo Yuu had briskly swooped down and charged at the half vermin, swinging her sword. A wave of white energy and gold energy appeared as it formed into a horizontal twister, and was hurled towards Naraku, striking him down and breaking through his miasma cloud. She lands back on another tall and large rock gracefully, behind her new enemy.
All of the sudden, a puff of black smoke appeared as Naraku started fleeing. Empress Jigo Yuu moves away to avoid inhaling the poisonous and toxic fumes that were coming towards her from the puff of smoke. He began vanishing in the air, heading back towards the way he came. He needed to leave now and avoid being struck down by the powerful empress demoness. He still had wicked and evil plans for her and her fellow tribe members after all, along with Lady Tsukiyame and Sesshomaru. The lowly scum remained hidden inside his dark miasma cloud as he was leaving the unworldly realms for now.
"We will continue this at the Sorufuruna Hogane no Hana Temple, Empress Jigo Yuu," Naraku said darkly and taunted, "Or should I say soon to be 'Ex-Empress Jigo Yuu! You and your fellow tribe must prepare to meet your maker and perish."
"Ha ha ha ha ha!" he laughed evilly. The dark miasma cloud had disappeared and was now gone.
The short battle between Naraku and Empress Jigo Yuu was over for right now. He would return to try and raid her territories in both unworldly realms soon enough. Everything returned to normal. It was no longer dark in the netherworld. The unworldly realm was bright and foggy once again. She stood silently and looked ahead as some winds blew by through her hair and clothes. The netherworld and the underworld would be safe for right now.
"So, he escaped, did he?" Empress Jigo Yuu said.
…..
Back in the world of the living, morning had already come. The sun shined down on the Kurai Angelic Homelands, the eastern lands, and throughout feudal Japan beautifully, in the partially clear blue skies. Some thin white clouds were passing by. Sentinels could be seen guarding the borders and observing their beloved lady and leader, Lady Tsukiyame's lands for any possible danger.
A demon was nearby the young lady half demoness' palace as he flew high enough in the sky to not be detected by the kurai angel sentinels that were fiercely guarding the homelands. He was now circling the palace, in the sky. His demonic aura was also guarded, hidden to keep from being sensed by them. That is when a grey weaved basket with a nicely black wrapped garment was dropped down inside the gate, landing on the blood red pearl walkway. A hidden note could be found inside the basket with the gift-wrapped item. Both Usagi and Yami were walking towards the gate. Yami had her Gin Kuro-Yoru weapon away in a black crossbody sheath behind her with the huge silver blade sticking out. They were on their way to Master Gaara's forge and home to begin her training with her new weapon. She would use it when she was ready to participate in tribal battles. As they approached the gate and the sentinels were about to open the gate, after bowing their heads in respect. Yami noticed the grey weaved basket with the nicely black wrapped garment inside. Stopping and her mother walking ahead, she picks up the basket and began inspecting it.
The sentinels that were at the gate also noticed the strangely wrapped item inside the basket that was suddenly on the ground. They wondered where it came from, who it was for, and why Yami was now touching it.
"Ah, Yami dear," Usagi said, looking behind at her youngest daughter, "We must leave now, or you'll be late for your training with Master Gaara. What are you doing? What is that basket you're holding?"
"I'm sorry, mother," Yami said, "It looks like a package for Tsukiyame. There is a hidden note inside that is addressed to her. I will give it to her, so that she can also inspect it."
"Where did that package come from? It looks like something that came from the Kurai Angelic Demon Marketplace." one of the man sentinels pointed out.
"Yeah, it did." she replied, turning to walk back inside the palace.
"Hurry up and give it to your sister, dear," she told her daughter, "We need to get going."
"Yes, mother, I am going."
Yami walked inside the palace as the guards bowed in respect and slid the door open for her. She began going up the blood red pearl steps and headed towards her older sister's bedroom, holding the basket with the black gift-wrapped item side. Lady Tsukiyame's bedroom door was left open. She was not there. Her younger sister walked inside her bedroom and sat the grey weaved basket with the nicely black wrapped item on her bed. Then Yami had left to head outside and leave with their mother for her training.
Meanwhile, Lady Tsukiyame was enjoying a nice relaxing bath in the private outdoor hot spring. There are two private hot springs downstairs at the palace. One being an indoor spring down the hall to the left, opposite from where the ballroom and chamber are, and one being an outdoor spring that is gated with a lovely rocky stone wall that provides privacy. After getting a professional body massage, she needed the rest of the day to relax, before the big undercover to track down and stop her enemy Naraku. The sun shined down on her, in the partially clear blue sky with some lukewarm breezes blowing by. The temperatures had been slightly cooler than they had been before. Summer would be coming soon. Sitting in the warm water, Lady Tsukiyame could sense, hear, and feel Sesshomaru's presence as he was passing by and over her palace, in the sky. Though, he could not be seen by her or smelt by her sentinels and other tribe members for some unknown reason. He was clearly staying out of sight.
"Maybe he is hiding his demonic aura." Lady Tsukiyame said.
She started soaping herself up to wash her body thoroughly, now standing under the warm water falls with her hair wrapped up in a black towel. After washing off all the soap, she then cleansed her face with a face cleanser. Washing and wiping her face with a soaked black face cloth, the bath was now over.
Lady Tsukiyame sat on the edge of the hot spring with just her legs in the water, allowing for more relaxing breezes to come by. Her body was still dripping wet and was air drying. Water dripped down her stomach. Her gorgeous sterling silver, silver real diamond navel ring in her belly button sparkled from afar as the sunlight hit it. After sitting there for a while longer, she was ready to leave and head back inside to get ready. The young lady half demoness got out of the water, drying her legs and feet off, and getting dressed back in her black house kimono. Grabbing all her things and closing the gate behind her, she headed towards her palace.
Being back in her bedroom, now and sliding the door closed, she finds a grey weaved basket with a nicely black gift-wrapped item inside, sitting on her bed. It looked to have come from the Kurai Angelic Demon Marketplace, in her homelands.
"Where did this come from?" Lady Tsukiyame wondered.
'There is a note hidden inside.' she thought.
Lady Tsukiyame took the note from the package and read what it said. It was addressed to her. It was written by Sesshomaru, stating the kimono was for her to wear for their travel to the netherworld. She then knew the kimono had been bought for her to wear for the undercover that would take place, later in the evening.
She put the note down and removed the black wrapped package from the grey weaved basket and opened it up. Unfolding the lovely silk garment, the young lady half demoness was secretly in awe as she took in the sight of a very beautiful and sexy style kimono. Her facial expression never changed. Not being able to fathom why the young lord demon would buy her such a present as it was unlike him. It was, indeed a very lovely gift he had gotten her.
The beautiful black silk kimono was a formal style that had long sleeves and a sexy asymmetrical hemline, going up to the right upper thigh. Short on the right side and longer on the left side. It was a lovely black silk that had a white Sakura floral print with an exotic true red angel woman on the back, and ivory flying swans on the sleeves. The silk obi belt was black and true red. The angel woman on the back of the kimono was very feminine. She had a true red coloring to her with huge angel wings, looking behind her. The ivory flying swans also looked regal. The kimono had some slits in the back for Lady Tsukiyame's huge black angel wings to go through if she needed to transform into her demon form to fight.
Though, the style of the kimono was not the typical kurai angelic style that her fellow tribe members are known for wearing. It did represent the young lady half demoness' kurai angelic status and heritage very well. The young lord demon did a great job picking it out for her.
"How did he know my size," Lady Tsukiyame asked herself, "How did he know about my personal taste in style of dress?"
Laying her gorgeous new kimono down on her bed, she starts getting ready. She got undressed and began moisturizing her skin and her face very well. Her hair was now unwrapped and down as she started combing it out. She had put on some black cotton panties and a white short asymmetrical long sleeve robe, wrapping it around her body with a belt. Then, Lady Tsukiyame began slipping into the silk asymmetrical kimono and wrapped it around her body with the silk black and red obi, tying it in a huge and short bow, in the back. She grabs a nice pair of black strappy wedge heel sandals and a lovely black silk and lace thigh garter holster from her walk-in-closet and drawer to wear with her kimono.
The young lady half demoness was now fully dressed, armed, and prepared to leave and meet Sesshomaru to make their trip to the netherworld and go undercover to stop Naraku. Her two swords the Gin JunUsagi and Kurai ToksusUsagi were placed at her left side, in her obi belt. She also wore the black silk and lace thigh garter holster on her right lower thigh filled with her pentagram symbols and Kami-angelic symbols for fighting. Lady Tsukiyame walked down the blood red pearl steps, passing by her throne, and had walked over to the sliding door where her guards stood to leave her palace.
…..
In the evening sunny meadow stood the young lord demon. He was ready to travel to the netherworld to stop Naraku's wicked plan. Sesshomaru's new taupe and black formal silk kimono and white fury cloak that was wrapped gracefully around his shoulders bounced back and forth as some lukewarm gentle breezes came by. The tail from his fury cloak went down to his knees, in the back and his Tenseiga was at his left side, in his belt. The taupe and black printed silk robe that was worn over his kimono had a gorgeous white gold huge dragon on the back. His long silver hair was worn in a messily braid that was going over his right shoulder with his short bangs. Having his hair in a messily braid showed his chiseled features. The dog demon lord looked very handsome and had a more masculine charm.
He had sensed the young lady half demoness walking in the meadow. Lady Tsukiyame had arrived and Sesshomaru looked behind him, before turning to face her. The two hadn't taken their eyes off each other. The half kurai angel demon lady looked absolutely stunning and was very beautiful and sexy.
Sesshomaru could see the silk kimono he had gotten for Lady Tsukiyame looked even better on her, than he thought. It flattered her slim petite figure and showed her curves and legs beautifully. Her long gorgeous straight very dark silver hair was worn all down and flowed so gracefully with her short bangs, and some hair was slicked to the right with a true red and black kurai angelic floral hair comb. Her long chandelier sterling silver, true red crystal, and black dainty rhinestone swan earrings looked regal and feminine. Her black strappy wedge heel sandals matched well with the kimono. She wore a neutral and white color eye makeup look that brought out her lilac eyes. The soft mauvy red color on her cheeks looked stunning. Her lips were colored a beautiful red. Her claws were nicely polished a shiny clear.
The young lord demon stood silently as he was secretly in awe as the alluring beauty of the young lady half demoness was taken in. His reaction had been concealed. He remained stoic and held no expression in his golden amber eyes as they met with Lady Tsukiyame's expressionless lilac eyes. They finally stopped staring at each other. Returning to the present, they both were ready to go to the unworldly realm to track down and stop Naraku.
"What exactly is this demon temple we are going to," Sesshomaru inquired, "And what could Naraku want to come to a place like that? It sounds like it could be on sacred grounds. I would assume someone like him would be forbidden from entering such a place."
"I presume it is because the temple is nearby the gateway to the underworld. Once opened, all unworldly beings would be sent to the hell fires forever. Empress Jigo Yuu had informed me about this. Most likely, Naraku will intend to use his spiritual weapon to open a pathway to hell, after he, of course, uses the hell demon tribe as bait to dethrone us both and gain control over our lands. This is probably what he will resort to." Lady Tsukiyame stated clearly.
"I see," he said coldly, "So, this is what the fool may have planned."
"Correct, yes." she said coldly.
This is definitely true. There is a gateway that opens to the underworld, which would put unworldly beings like the young lady half demoness, her people, and the hell demon tribe at risk of ending up trapped in the depths of hell forever with no way to return back to the world of the living, or to even the netherworld and the underworld. Naraku without a doubt, intends to commit this atrocious act, after his plan to gain a crossover throne has been achieved at the expense of Lady Tsukiyame and her people, Sesshomaru and his people, and Empress Jigo Yuu and her people. He definitely needs to be defeated and destroyed, along with his army right now.
She walked ahead of Sesshomaru to open a portal to the netherworld. She began putting her hands in a prayer position and started chanting. An opened portal appeared before the two and they had gone inside to travel to the netherworld. The portal had already closed at the command of the young lady half demoness. No one was there to guard the portal. So, it made no sense for it to remain open and unprotected. Anyone could follow them inside. A new portal, of course, will be opened, when it is time for them to travel back to the world of the living. Finally, they had arrived at the sacred demon temple of the hell demon tribe. The Sorufuruna Kogane no Hana Temple, where the empress demoness' worship service would be taking place, and where Naraku will be showing up to attack. It was bright and foggy in the unworldly realm with skeleton birds flying all over as expected.
The Sorufuruna Kogane no Hana Temple was a very beautiful all white built temple with a unique landscaping and detailed construct that represented the hell demon tribe and their beloved Devillesses wonderfully. The sacred demon temple floated on a cloud of white fog and it was bright and foggy down below with skeleton birds flying around. The building also had a lovely white floor statue on each side of the main entrance sliding door that represented the sacredness and sensuousness of the temple as a place of worship. It was a white sacred demon temple with a dark aesthetic that represented Empress Jigo Yuu's beloved hell demon tribe and the Devillesses they worshipped beautifully. Lovely wall erotic art of the most supreme and beloved Devillesses as sexual beings could also be seen inside, being displayed on each wall, in the hallways. Some had full and partial nudity while others had fully clothed hell demonesses. Some were overtly sexual and seductive while others while very intimate and romantic. Some depicted hell demonesses representing the Devillesses' fertility with their legs open, either giving birth to a baby, or bloody fluids coming out, or nothing coming out at all. All the erotic art honored and celebrated their sexuality and fertility, as well as their greatness as powerful hell demonesses and supreme rulers.
Lady Tsukiyame uncomfortably held onto Sesshomaru as he wrapped his right arm around her waist, landing down gracefully in front of the main entrance to the sacred demon temple. She had never been that close to the powerful demon lord before. She walked ahead as the two started heading inside, following everyone else that had come to attend the worship service. As they had entered the huge gorgeous sacred temple of the hell demon tribe, Empress Jigo Yuu could be seen standing nearby handing out flyers to the guests. Her daughter Jigo Kiki, of course, was nowhere to be seen as she was getting ready to perform soon. The beautiful empress demoness greeted the two, when they had approached.
"Lady Tsukiyame," Empress Jigo Yuu acknowledged, "Oh, you must be Lord Sesshomaru. Thank you both for coming. Here is a flyer for tonight's worship service."
"Thank you." Lady Tsukiyame said and nodded, taking the flyer from her. It was still unusual for the young lady half demoness to thank anyone, even when being greeted.
"Hm." Sesshomaru said and nodded, taking a flyer from her.
Both Lady Tsukiyame and Sesshomaru had gone inside, passing by the two sentinels that were guarding the entrance to the zaisu gallery. A young hell demon man host showed up and started taking them to their reserved table where the two would be seated. She had already made a reservation, prior to the worship service event. They ignored the looks and stares from some of the empress demoness' fellow tribe members and kept following the host. A wonderfully set and lit small table with two zaisu chairs was near the main entrance and right under the huge ceiling window, facing the stage with a window behind it. That was where the young lady half demoness and the young lord demon would be seated for the evening, and while going undercover.
As the two were seated and getting situated, Lady Tsukiyame immediately took in the sight of the sacred temple. She sat and looked around and remained alert about Naraku's arrival to commit his assault and bait the hell demon tribe against her. Sesshomaru was also on alert about the half vermin's arrival. His expressionless golden amber eyes were now looking at her as she sat across from him. Lady Tsukiyame could feel the young lord demon looking at her and not away like he usually would. She was still looking away from him.
"Lady Tsukiyame," Empress Jigo Yuu called and told them, walking over to their table, "There is something you two must know about Naraku."
"Any news on his whereabouts?" Sesshomaru asked.
"What do we need to know?" Lady Tsukiyame asked seriously.
Empress Jigo Yuu then motions for the two to follow her to a rehearsal room towards the back exit where they could discuss the issue privately. All three entered the room and were now out of earshot as the room was further away. Both Lady Tsukiyame and Sesshomaru stood beside each other and before the empress demoness as she spoke.
This was the twenty-first chapter!
Lady Tsukiyame and Sesshomaru have traveled to the netherworld and are now attending a worship service at the sacred demon temple to track down Naraku and stop his wicked plan against them. They are now going undercover to catch Naraku and defeat him and his army. Look forward to the next chapter to see what happens.
Until then, bye for now!
