Chapter 3: A Surprising Savior

Suriki had been running all night. She knew she couldn't stop. It had almost caught her when she had landed on the main island of Japan but she had gotten away. Suriki knew it was close behind her but she couldn't do anything about it, she was too tired to fight back. As she crashed trough the forest she hoped that she could remember where Sesshomaru's castle was. He would be able to help. She came into a clearing and ran forward. She realized too late that there was someone in front of her as she crashed into him. They fell to the ground together and Suriki had the wind knocked out of her. As she struggled to get up she noticed that the person she had run into had silver hair. 'It couldn't be, Sesshomaru?' Suriki got up and began mumbling apologies. As she got a good look at him she could tell that it wasn't Sesshomaru.

Inuyasha was quite stunned to find a female demon on top of him, even more surprised when she began to apologize. He stood up quickly to get a good look at her. She had startling green eyes and blue hair, a strange color to find on even demons. Her birthmarks were a blue strip on each cheek. "Are you okay?" Inuyasha asked.

"W-what?" said the demon.

"You don't look so good, are you okay?" repeated Inuyasha.

"W-who are you?" she asked.

"I'm Inuyasha; you look like you have been running awhile. What happened?" he replied.

"Maybe you should sit down," said Kagome.

The demon looked over at her and shook her head. "I - I can't," she said," If I stop it will find me, I can't fight it off alone."

"What is chasing you? Tell us, we can help," said Mirokou.

"No, I can't," she said looking fearfully over her shoulder, "It is coming. I have to go."

Just then a demon came out of the forest and headed right for her, she screamed and started to run. Inuyasha quickly took out Tetsusaiga and charged at it. The demon took no heed of Inuyasha and raced after the girl. Inuyasha slashed at it but his sword did nothing. The demon seemed to not even notice him. It grabbed the girl and pulled her closer. She was sobbing and trying to get away. Quickly Kagome drew back an arrow on her bow and prepared to fire. Before she could get off a shot something raced in front of her and snatched the girl away.

-------------------

Sesshomaru was getting closer to the invader. He could now tell that it was not Naraku. Yet it still seemed familiar. As he tried to figure out who it could be he heard a scream. 'That is Suriki's scream! What is she doing here?' he thought as he picked up his pace. Sesshomaru came to a clearing and finally saw something that he had hoped to never see again. The demon was back, as he had thought, and it had Suriki in its claws again. Anger rose up in him as he transformed back to his humane form and rushed forward. He grabbed Suriki just before the demon could begin feeding. Getting to the other side of the clearing, Sesshomaru carefully put her down.

"Sesshomaru?" she whispered.

"Hello, Suriki," he said, "and this time I will protect you."

She smiled up at him and then passed out.

Slowly Sesshomaru stood and turned to face the demon. Quickly he looked around at his surroundings to size up the situation. His brother was there along with those annoying humans he traveled with. That didn't matter that much, though, he would just have to make sure that Inuyasha didn't interfere. Quickly he looked back to make sure Suriki would be okay. She was exhausted, but otherwise fine. Turning back he could see that the demon was quite mad.

"Stay out of this Inuyasha. This is my fight," Sesshomaru growled.

Never hearing Sesshomaru so angry, Inuyasha nodded and stepped back. Now that he thought about it he had never seen Sesshomaru with so much emotion. It was a little scary.

Sesshomaru himself was confused at his show of emotion. He had never before felt this angry. Sesshomaru also felt like he had to protect Suriki no matter the danger to himself. It was a strange combination but Sesshomaru had no time to sort out his emotions, the demon was attacking. Remembering that Tensaiga had been effective in the first battle, Sesshomaru drew it and prepared himself. The demon was quick and gave him little time to defend but he managed to get his sword up in time. The force of the blow was surprising but Sesshomaru took it in stride and struck back at the thing. Though his sword did not cut it, the demon screamed in pain and tried to cleave Sesshomaru in half. He narrowly avoided being killed by the demon's attack but got clipped on the shoulder. Sesshomaru was driven to one knee by the force of the strike. Unfortunately for the demon, this was a perfect position for Sesshomaru. He struck out and sank his sword into the demons stomach. However Tensaiga did not cut the skin but passed through it. The demon roared in pain and leapt away, running from the clearing. Looking to make sure that Suriki was okay, Sesshomaru tried to get up and get her out of here. However, the demons attack had done more damage then he had thought and collapsed. Inuyasha, Kagome, Mirokou, Sango, and Shippo just stared at the two unconscious demons wondering what had happened.
