Hey, I hoped you guys like the last chapter. Sorry it was short, but this one is a little longer! Guess what, this is their first fight together! Sweet memories! Sorry to report, but this is the last flashback chapter. Don't worry, it'll just get better and better! By the way, I do not own Inuyasha or any of its products.
Chapter 8: Fighting
"Inuyasha," his claws start to have a yellowish-green glow on them "prepare to die, insolent half-demon." Inuyasha's golden eyes widen at his words. I have a reason to kill him, but the hell does he want to kill me! Wait, is it because I'm a half-demon? I'll make him eat his words!
"Fine with me but just so you know, I ain't that easy to beat." Inuyasha started to have his claws ready for battle. Even though he was already wounded, he is still able to fight. If he could leave the battle without any wounds from Sesshomaru, he would be fine. Although, the way Sesshomaru fights, it is damn near impossible to leave a battle unscathed. Inuyasha charged at him, blindly, and with great haste. He aimed his attack at Sesshomaru's head, but he caught Inuyasha's wrist before it even touched him. Now his claws were turning into a greenish color and the half-demon's skin was burning. Inuyasha cried out in pain and he could take in no longer. His left hand moved to his right arm, where his wound was still bleeding. He dug deep into the wound until his claws were covered with his blood.
"BLADES OF BLOOD!" One nicked Sesshomaru's right arm, but he dodged the rest of them with lightening speed. Even though one of Inuyasha's attacks had managed to hit him, there was no pain and now, he was more than focused to kill the half-breed. So he knows how to protect himself in a battle. But the way he fights, he fights as though he were trying to kill a weak human. He charged at me blindly and was just trying to injure me out of pure luck. Inuyasha… you are even more pathetic than I would have imagined!
Blood trickled to the ground as Inuyasha tried to catch his breath. He looked at the burn mark on his wrist and let out a growl of anger at Sesshomaru. He couldn't believe that he was losing to a demon like him. It was so unlike him because usually, he would have won already. But Inuyasha had forgotten, he was battling Sesshomaru, Lord of the Western Lands. And he probably never even lost a fight to anyone, especially a half-demon such as Inuyasha. "Tired already, Inuyasha? I would have that you would have lasted much longer than this. You have barely even begun to fight and you are wounded. Listen to me, half-breed. Do not brag of power that you do not possess." As Sesshomaru finished his words, his hands glowed and his energy whip came out and aimed for Inuyasha. He put up his arms to protect himself, but that only made his wound worse. As each attack hit his arms, blood continued to cover the ground Inuyasha stood upon.
Jaken watched the battle unfold from not too far away. To put it simple, he had a front row seat of the action. "Why does Lord Sesshomaru want to kill this half-demon so much? Though I can't help but see some resemblance between them. Is it possible that he and the half-demon are somehow related? No! That can't be true!" Jaken laughed for even thinking of such a thing. But he couldn't help but still wonder one thing, why Sesshomaru hadn't killed Inuyasha already!
Now Inuyasha was getting tired of this. Sesshomaru was right, instead of bragging, why not show him what real power he had! Inuyasha moved out of the way of the whip and managed to dodge the rest of his attacks. Then when he got close enough, he took out his claws again and attacked. "IRON REAVER SOUL STEALER!" Sesshomaru hadn't predicted that Inuyasha would actually get close enough to him and his armor crumbled into pieces and fell to the ground in bits. He looked at his broken armor and smirked at him.
"Most amusing. Yet you are a half-demon, Inuyasha." Sesshomaru's eyes began to glow red as though he was hungry for blood, Inuyasha's blood to be more exact. He wanted his blood to cover his claws and to know longer hear his heart beating. Sesshomaru charged at him, for he knew that Inuyasha was weak at this point and he wouldn't be able to move fast enough. His left hand aimed for the small half-demon's stomach. (I almost forgot that Sesshomaru had two arms once upon a time.) As his eyes grew with even more bloodlust, his fangs enlarged at well. "Know your place in the world, Inuyasha. All half-breeds should!" He rammed his left hand through his stomach delivering some poison into his body as well. Inuyasha screamed in pain for he has never experience this kind of painful attack in any of his battles.
"That's it milord! Kill him and show no mercy!" Jaken said, watching from afar. He took his claws out his abdomen and Inuyasha fell to the ground. A pool of blood appeared from under him. (Poor Inuyasha. He's only 12 years old in human years.) Sesshomaru could still hear his heart beating from inside, but just when he thought that Inuyasha was unconscious, he stood up very slowly. As though he were fighting to gather his strength to stand.
"I… don't die… so easily! If you want to kill me… you're gonna have to chop my head off… and burn my body along with the head! I don't care if I'm just a half-breed and you're a full demon. To me, it doesn't matter. And this time… I'm gonna make you pay!" Inuyasha had got up from the ground so swiftly, that Jaken did not see him come up from the ground. As soon as he got up, Inuyasha ran his arm through Sesshomaru's left shoulder. Now Sesshomaru's blood covered Inuyasha's claws and he smirked when he saw the blood. "Now who's pathetic, Sesshomaru?" Good, I managed to injure him. But still, I would love to know why the bastard is so eager to kill me!
Sesshomaru stared at the half-demon across from him. The wound that Inuyasha had inflicted on him did not cause him very much pain, but it did cause him pain nonetheless. But no one ever touches him, especially not a half-demon. He would make him regret the day he was born and Sesshomaru had very much remembered that night. He shook that memory out of his mind, he would rather not think of that now. The only thing he wanted was to cover the ground with Inuyasha's blood and leave his body to the wolves to devour. Inuyasha let out a laugh as though he had proclaimed victory in this battle. "What is it Sesshomaru? Are you surprised that a mere half-breed was able to injure you? I told not to be surprised by my real power! Before I kill you, answer me this one question. Why are you so eager to kill me?" Sesshomaru's eyes had turned from bloodlust red to their original mystifying golden color. He stared at Inuyasha.
"I owe you no explanation Inuyasha." He took out his energy whip once more and sliced across his chest, but not deep enough for the fang to come out. Inuyasha's back had met the ground once more and was starting to lose consciousness. His vision began to blur, but he was using the last of his strength to stay awake at all cost. He turned his head towards the demon that seeks to take his life. Inuyasha had found it more difficult to breathe, for he had too many wounds and could not fight back. Death, at this point, was inevitable. Sesshomaru stared at the body in front of him. He knew that he was losing consciousness, but he wanted him to be aware of how he would die. So instead of killing him, he walked closer to him until he was next to his body.
"Wha… What are you planning on doing to me?" Inuyasha's eyes started to widen in fear of what he would do. Cut off his head? Slice his body in half? Or maybe he would chop him into little pieces and spread them throughout the river.
"Would you really like to know why I want to kill you, Inuyasha? Before you lose consciousness, you should know something about the two of us." Sesshomaru was now a little bit closer to Inuyasha than he was before. "I am you older brother, Inuyasha. My demon father is your father as well. We are half-brothers and because you are a half-breed, you are a disgrace to my clan. That is why you shall die by my claws and no one else's. Do you understand now?" Inuyasha couldn't speak now, so he nodded his head instead. He couldn't believe that Sesshomaru was his older brother. But still, his own brother was trying to kill him over being half-human. So I'm not alone in this world. I have my older brother here with me. But the only problem is that I'm half-demon and he's not. If that is his reason for killing me, then fine. Then I shall kill him and he will regret ever messing with me! Inuyasha had finally lost consciousness after his last thought. Sesshomaru got away from him and started to walk away. Jaken stood there with his mouth wide open, as though he were in shock.
"But… But… But my lord! Why are you letting him live?" Jaken was dumbfounded because he knew Sesshomaru would never let an enemy live after a battle.
"Are you blind, Jaken? He is unconsciousness. It would be a coward's way out to try and kill someone when they are not aware of it. Besides, I want my brother to see his death with his own eyes and say his final words to my face." Jaken now knew not to ask anymore for he knew that if he asked one more question, he would be dead before he could finished talking. The smell of blood filled the air and both a demon's and half-demon's blood could be smelled in that field. Sometime later, Inuyasha had woken up. He stood on his knees and was surprised that Sesshomaru hadn't killed him.
"Brother Sesshomaru, I swear that your blood will cover my claws as well as the ground beneath me. I swear that if you slaughter me and send me to hell, then I'm taking you with me! You hear me, Sesshomaru! I ain't never gonna rest until you're dead! This isn't over yet, not by a long shot!" Inuyasha could feel anger inside him, but this kind of anger was unusual. It was pure hate and he had never felt it within him until after his fight with Sesshomaru. I swear on our father that I'm not gonna go to hell until you do, Sesshomaru!
All right! I hope I did the battle scene pretty good; can you tell me how I did on that? Anyway, I have a little surprise for all my readers. Since you guys have been so good to me with your reviews, I have decided to leave a little preview of the next chapter from now on. So just scroll down and enjoy the little preview I'm giving you!
Chapter 9: A Brother's Bond
"Inuyasha, what's up with you! You've been having these constant mood swings lately!" Kagome screamed at Inuyasha, who was now face first in the ground. When he stood up, he had this confusing look in his eyes.
"I don't know. You're gonna think it's strange, but I might as well tell you." Kagome was now listening to what Inuyasha was saying. "After every battle I have with Sesshomaru, I feel what he is feeling. And he could probably feel what I'm feeling. It's always been like this ever since I first met him. I could never explain it." Inuyasha looked out at the scenery as the wind blew through his hair. Kagome stared at Inuyasha at that moment.
"Maybe it's a bond between you. A bond only brothers know."
Cut and print! That's the preview I'm giving you, so I hope you're happy with that. Plus, I hope your ready for a little surprise in my next chapter. Now remember, review and maybe I'll update early!
