Oh, I re-wrote this as of.. june... something or another...( lol, and yes, I'm not sure what day it is...) /06, for spelling and confusing sentences.
A great Demon leapt out from the crevasse, lunging out its snake like body, barring its fangs. The demon frightened me very much, but Lord Sesshomaru would protect Jaken and me. Lord Sesshomaru quickly unsheathed his sword and jumped up to cut the demon in half. The Demon moved almost as quickly as my Lord, catching his sword in his fangs, CRACK. The sword rang a mournful tune as it sliced through the demons flesh and the remains dropped back into the crevasse. Lord Sesshomaru landed gracefully on his feet and took one look at the sword and put it back in its sheath.
"Lord Sesshomaru, what has happened to your sword?" I asked him as I jumped off of Ah and Un. He didn't even glance at me as he spoke;
"Rin, I shall be gone for a day or so, stay in the forest with Ah-Un. Jaken come with me." and with that my lord walked off into the forest.
" I wonder where Lord Sesshomaru is going?" I said to the two headed dragon, "Oh well, I'll wait for him, Come Ah and Un, Lets go find some food." We walked into the forest that lay behind us in the opposite direction Lord Sesshomaru went.
"Lord Sesshomaru where are we going? To find a sword smith?" I asked my lord as he walked ahead of me gracefully, his silver hair flying in the wind. Milord did not answer me immediately; instead he just kept walking for awhile with me trailing behind in his footsteps.
"I go to find the swords man that lies by a village not far from here, he is supposedly one of the best in the land. Katana, is his name I believe." Milord said expressionlessly as the shadows from the setting sun began to grow. How I liked Lord Sesshomaru, he was very beautiful and wise, and important. So that I suppose is why I followed him, but why was Rin? I had often asked myself why Lord Sesshomaru had let her tag along, I mean, she was human and she was a silly little girl, why did he want to keep her? Hmm, I'll figure it eventually, hopefully. Suddenly Lord Sesshomaru stopped, and I just avoided coming into contact with his heels.
"Jaken, stay behind me. This demon is supposed to have a great temper." Funnily enough however, there was only the slightest trace of a demons scent coming from the, well what could just be called a 'hut', in the clearing. The most it had was human. There was definitely a human in there. I walked into the hut behind Milord as he brushed aside the cloth that covered the doorway. What I saw completely amazed me.
There was a WOMAN sharpening a sword.
But what surprised me the most was that this girl had amazing blue eyes. Not the usual brown, blue, like the moon. To match, she had dark, dark hair that was pulled up into a high ponytail. Trances of hair fell down her face like water, which, by the looks of it, she brushed back in annoyance. The girl was dressed in dark robes that wound around her thin form. The human was looking at the doorway as if expecting us.
"Why, what would a demon of your statue be doing in my home?" The girl asked Lord Sesshomaru with a slight smile and a tone of innocence that did not reach her eyes.
"I am looking for the swordsman by the name of Katana. I am in need of one. Tell me, are you, Katana, the swords man that is supposedly the best in this land?" He asked her with a cool voice and a cold stare. Why he tolerated her impudence? I do not know, but knowing my lord, he must've had some purpose for her.
"I am, and who are you to ask such of question?" She stood up, still holding the sword, her head barely reaching Milord's lower shoulders.
"Such insolence..." I muttered from somewhere behind me, and I took a menacing step towards the human. "Now see here, human, Lord Sesshomaru does not have to answer to you. Why it should be an honor-"
"Silence toad!" The girl hissed with surprising venom, for someone her size. Her eyebrows narrowed and she took a step towards me. "I shall do as I please, you should hold your tongue. That is-" She paused as if this was an after thought, "before I cut it off." and she ran her fingers down the blade, eyeing me in way I did not like. I stopped talking immediately; my eyes bulging form my head as I stepped behind Lord Sesshomaru with a squeak.
The girl regained her calm. "So, Sesshomaru is it? Well Lord Sesshomaru, how may I be of service to you?" The girl walked to a fire crackling in a pit as she said this, right past us, and sat down beside the hut, leaning against it. She closed her eyes. I suppose, I would have to see if this girl was any good. I completely suspected that she was not at all what she seemed. No humans carried that much disrespect towards demons. I had to make a mental note to that, and I suppose she would take no rudeness or disrespect towards her….she would eventually have to be taught a lesson...
"I am in need of a swordsman, my sword is cracked, and it needs to be repaired. Would you be able to fix it, Katana?"
"Depends... where is your sword? I shall see if I can." My Lord drew his sword faster than the eye could see, the shadows dancing on the blade before her eyes.
She however, yawned, and said, "May I examine it then? if you wish to be technical." He placed it on the stone tablet towards the center of the room. How this girl tried my patience! She was indeed a nuisance. The human walked up to the tablet her eyes wide with awe, I guess she could sense power in my lord's sword. Her fingers traced the blade among the dark cracks in it, and suddenly she drew them back as quickly as if it had bit her.
"This is demon make..." I heard her mutter, "This should be a challenge..."
"Can you fix it girl?"
She sighed and shrugged, "I suppose, it may take me about three or so days. Now what is the pay?"
That was it! She would get it now! How could she expect to be paid? Meeting my Lord should be payment enough! He continued, "I have no money to give to you, I could spare your life however. Since you persist on being such a nuisance in lack of respect."
The girl was slightly afraid, I saw it in her eyes. Ha, I thought, that should teach her. "I suppose that is fair enough, please come back on the third day at sundown.", and she turned away from my Lord. Ignoring him! But, he did not care; he had got what he wanted.
"Good." and with that we left her. The breeze pulling at Lord Sesshomaru's silver hair, and tasteful clothes. Our path lit up by the moonlight.
Did anyone ever notice how annoying Jaken's voice is? I mean who would want to hear THAT in the morning? please R&R!
and did anyone notice how LONG the word expressionlessly is?
Ok, tell me what you thought, if anything like constructive criticism, then be nice, and I'm human, I make mistakes, you just got to tell me how to fix them.
