Wow, I gots four fast. Good too cuz I probably couldn't have waited very long anyway. I can't stand waiting when I already got the story. I had this written before I even put the last one out. So, read away
Sesshomaru trudged though an ugly swamp in the black of night. Dead trees with vines curled around the branches took away the light of the moon from this already dreary place.
He walked through the cold, shallow water until he came to a large tree with a giant hole in it and a sigh reading "weapon smith" nailed to the top.
And old crocodile like creature lay inside, watching the lord with golden eyes. "What do you want here?" he asked in a creaky voice, his fangs gleaming in the small light that came through a hole in the canopy right were his shop happened to be.
"Are you Kyouryuu?" Sesshomaru asked back, staying in the darkness
The creature nodded "and who might you be?"
"Then I have some questions for you." He said disregarding the last thing Kyouryuu said and continuing with his investigation "You once made a sword for a man named Naraku. Correct."
"I believe so." He answered "The sword of the red sky. The man even asked for me to put a curse on it. Twas hard but the big pay day was well worth the effort."
"That curse!" he said stepping into the light, reveling the anger in his eyes "tell me. Is there any way you know of to end it. A cure? Is there a cure?"
"infact there is." He answered "but in order for me to tell you that, first you must tell me why you need the information in the first place."
Sesshomaru balled his hand into a fist, annoyed by the old crock's resilience. "Just tell me! You do not need to know my reasons!"
"then it looks like you aren't gonna get my information." He said laying back into a wooden chair inside the tree.
"grrr…" Sesshomaru fought to control his temper "urraahh. Killing him will do no good, I suppose, simply telling him won't jeopardize my quest." He smoothed his hand back to normal "You see, my younger brother is even now under the horrible influence of that curse and in order to help him I need to find a way to stop it."
"ohhh…. A brother… how nice of you…" the crock said leaning forward and smiling "you see, the only cure is…"
(you don't get to find out just yet. Sorry.)
"Arigoto." Sesshomaru did a slight bow to show respect before racing off to inform his brother of the only way to stop the curse of the red sky.
OOOOOOOOOOO00000ooooooback with inu-kunoooooo00000000OOOOOOOOOOO
Sango had just been grabbed by the throat by the insane Inuyasha. "No!" Miroku cryed, hitting Inuyasha in the stomach with his staff.
The demon keeled over in pain but quickly recovered and sent his blades of blood at the monk, now at his beloved Sango's side.
Sango held up her boomerang and let it absorb the blow. Little Kirara grew huge in a sudden fire and leaped out to protect her master.
"RRRRREEEEOOOWWWW!" the cat creature roared angrily
"BLADES OF BOLLD!" the demented Inuyasha said sending his attack to the cat demon now.
Kirara yipped in pain and returned to her normal form as the attack made contact. "NOO!" Sango yelled out reaching towards the wounded kitten.
Inuyasha slowly stepped forward, kicking poor Kirara into a wall. He reached down, grabbing the cat demon. Kirara let out a yipe as Inu sank his bloody claws into her flesh.
"leave her alone!" a young voice said bravely
The hanyou turned around to see Shippo standing shakily. "c-come on! Give me y-y-your b-best shot!"
He loosened his hand, letting innocent Kirara drop to the slightly snow covered ground. Inuyasha slowly walked towards the fox, an evil grin on his bloody face.
"Inuyasha!" Miroku yelled "you don't want to hurt him!"
Inuyasha ignored his words and continued his slow procession to the frightened child.
"NNOOOOOOOO!"
suddenly Inuyasha stopped. He wobbled back and forth as if losing his balance until he finally fell to his knees landing in a small pile of snow that melted with his bloody touch.
"What!" the evil him said "I… I don't have control anymore!"
"I won't let you hurt them" Inuyasha said out loud, talking the evil him inside that was trying to regain control over his body "I will not hurt them."
"ha! Like you have a choice."
"I do!"
"You know you want them dead! No matter how you try to convince yourself otherwise, you know inside you want them to suffer."
"Your right… I do want them to suffer…"
Sango, Miroku and Shippo all stayed perfectly still, not understanding that they were hearing half of a conversation.
"but… it doesn't mean I'll let that happen."
"there's no hope! Naraku said it himself! There is no cure no way to destroy the great lust for blood you have even now!"
"I guess, but just because there's no way to destroy you, doesn't mean I still can't fight you!"
"There is a cure!" Sesshomaru said suddenly appearing on a roof top "there is!"
Inuyasha yanked his head up to see his brother, his eyes where wide, hope returning with those last words he had said. "There's a way to end all this. A cure… but…" Sesshomaru hesitated "you might no like it."
But the twinkle in Inuyasha's eye didn't leave, he wanted to know, he NEEDED to know. Sesshomaru let out a small sigh, not sure what would happen after this.
"to end the curse of the red sky the one you love must willing lose blood to you." Sesshomaru said "your love must let you hurt her. Kagome must…"
we are slowly reaching an end. And the one thing I didn't want to say, but just can't help it is… I mights make a sequel.
