Chapter 4: The First Battle
Ivy was sitting on the roof of the small hut looking out past the gates. The blizzard had been going on for five days. Rin came out of the hut and looked around. She was looking for Ivy. Now this is amusing, She thought, watching as Jaken came out and pulled Rin back in.
Khon jumped up from the back.
"How many days until they strike?"
"It depends on the blizzard they created?"
"What?"
"sigh That's right, they created this to try to weaken our forces. It's not going to happen. The leader knows about this and the army is ready for anything now"
"Then if that's all, how can you be so doubtful"
"The children, including Rin"
"What about them"
"They're all in danger."
"What if you can get them to battle elsewhere?"
"Why do you think they created the blizzard?"
She looked at him in a thoughtful manner.
"To keep us from leaving. What are they really after?"
"The weakest among us"
"Women and children"
"Yes, now go inform the leader of your findings"
She turned back to the blizzard and saw a shadow move across it. Unlike her brother, she wouldn't dismiss it. She followed it, only to find that it was a bird. She walked back to the hut, but was attacked.
"Well, well, if it isn't the princess. How are you your majesty?"
"Shut up and don't use my title!"
He tried to freeze her, but failed.
"Now you've got me mad! Ice breath!"
He was frozen by just one breath from her. She ran back to the hut to find it in shambles.
"Sesshoumaru, Rin, Jaken, Khon!" She yelled
They came out from behind a tree. Even Sesshoumaru was a bit shaky. They looked at her. She was a bit amused.
"What just happened?" asked Jaken
"They're coming" She said with amusment in her voice.
Sesshoumaru looked at her.
"Why are you amused? We almost died!"
"My sister is always amused when it comes to a battle. It's like a game for her, one that she'll always win."
They looked at her in surprise. She nodded to let them know that it was true. She always thinks that a battle is a game.
"The large battles are the ones that are not games for me. Just the small ones like ones in the forest against one or five demons. Against an army, I'm more serious"
They jumped when she spoke.
"These guys are nothing but kids when it comes to knowing what to do in a battle. They know nothing. The most likely haven't gone outside the city before now."
She turned away and walked off into the unknown. Unknown to them, the enemy was moving faster then expected. They were moving with, not against, but with the wind. It was unusual for any other ice demon to do this, but they did. She reached the castle, the one in which she and her family had lived in. It was still beautiful. Of course it had to be for the new royal family. Her people wouldn't accept her now.
I was thrown out into the snowWith nowhere left to go
I walked across this barren land
To find a desert on the other side
An endless path in the distance
I had no choice so I,
I followed the path to my future,
To my new home,
To my new life.
I spent fifteen long years
On the winding path
And didn't find anything worth while
Finally, my sorrow
Led me back here,
To my true home
I'm just an outcast
A person in an exiled life,
No importance,
At least not yet
Can I finally prove myself
I had no choice so I,
I followed the path to my future,
To my new home,
To my new life.
I spent fifteen long years
On the winding path
And didn't find anything worth while
Finally, my sorrow
Led me back here,
To my true home
Finally, my sorrow
Led me back to my
True home……….
She walked up to the door and entered. The king welcomed her.
"Your brother told me the news. Maybe this day you shall redeem yourself and your family from their mistakes…" He was about to say more, but she cut him off.
"Is it a mistake to fall in love? My mother did and you cast her aside after she had me and Khon!"
"We were following our traditions…."
"The traditions that my grandfather destroyed before my parents even met!"
He was taken aback by this outburst.
"You're not the true ruler, my father is. Right now he is in the hands of the enemy along with my mother. You're the disgrace here, not me."
With that said, she walked out and into the night air. She didn't notice Sesshoumaru following her. He had heard the argument between them. He followed her to the edge of a frozen forest. The trees were still green, but they were cold. (don't ask) There she sat and looked up. The clouds seemed as if they'd never leave, but they would.
"I know you're there Sesshoumaru. You can come out"
He stepped out and strode over to her. She closed her eyes and then opened them a moment later.
"What do you need?" She asked.
"What happened in there and why did he say that you might be able to redeem yourself and your family?"
"You might not know this, but the current rulers of this land are not the true royal family. The true family was thrown out after the to be queen had twins to a human."
"So the children were half-breeds?"
"In a way yes, but they were full-blood. Their father was a mystical human. It was on the day their mother was to become queen when the city went with one of their traditions, one that the children's grandfather had destroyed long before their parents met." She paused, " They were thrown out and made outcasts. They can only redeem themselves by winning a war. Presently, the parents are prisoners for trying to fight our enemy and the children have returned. They don't care if they redeem themselves, they only want to win this war."
"And who are the children?"
She ignored the question as she continued, "The prince was the weaker one of the twins while the princess was the strongest. Ironic huh, it should have been the other way around, they say. No one even tried to train the prince or his sister."
She looked at him and waited. She wanted to see if he had a question.
"What is the name of the princess?"
"Take a guess"
He suddenly looked shocked. He understood what she was saying. She was the princess and Khon was the prince. He left quickly.
Well, scared off another with that tale of my past, she thought.
Sesshoumaru wandered around thinking. She's the true heir to this land, but she doesn't seem like it. Why didn't she tell me, he thought this as he made his way to their new hut. He walked in and found Rin asleep and Jaken with his eyes closed, most likely asleep as well.
Khon entered it and looked at him.
"So, Ivy told you?"
"Yes, she did"
"I can tell by your voice that you are shocked though you don't show it. There's also something else there."
"My feelings are none of your bussiness"
"When it comes to my sister they are. Why don't you just tell her?"
"Why would she, the heir to the ice kingdom, accept the Lord of the Western Lands?"
"She sees through titles and looks. She knows your true personality."
Sesshoumaru said nothing. Ivy soon walked in and looked at him. He graced her with his usual look, but she could tell he was hiding something behind it. She couldn't put her finger on it though. Khon left and the two demons were left alone. Rin had long woken up and dragged Jaken with her as she left to play outside.
"Why did you leave all of a sudden?"
"Why didn't you tell me sooner?"
"sigh I didn't want you to leave me like so many others. I've told that to other people and they left me and never spoke to me again. I didn't want that happening with you."
He simply stared at her.
"Are you going to answer my question?"
"I was shocked and I thought that you wouldn't want me around"
She took a step towards him.
"Well, don't think that ever again."
Soon, she found herself wrapped in his arms. Khon was watching from the door. Ivy knew, but she didn't care. They soon kissed. (A/N: awwwwww, I want a kiss from him…….. Sesshoumaru:…………….) Sesshoumaru pulled back suddenly.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have."
"Sess, it's okay. I don't care what kind of demon you are. Hell, I don't care if you're a cold demon lord. I still love you."
She clapped her hand over her mouth and ran out, casting a dirty look at her brother on the way. I shouldn't have said that, she thought, now he'll probably never want to see me again.
She never noticed the five shadows that were behind her. She stoppped in a field of fresh snow and fell to her knees. Suddenly, the shadows ere surrounding her.
"Well, well, what do we have here. A little princess. She's run away from her friends too."
They all laughed.
"We should punish her for…."
He never got the chance to finish. She had sliced him in half.
"Who else wants some?"
they all charged at her, but only to be blown back by her wind.
"I've had enough of you guys! Piercing Darkness!"
They were kill instantly. Khon heard the attack, but didn't do anything. He knew that she wanted to be alone.
