Chapter
4:
The
Demon Lord and The God of Destruction
"Hey X long time no see. It's been days." Zero grinned.
"Days? I guess that means Sigma and Gate have been here long before us."
Zero just nodded then looked to Sesshomaru. "So Inuyasha is the one in red right... Lord Sesshomaru?" All he gets back is a nod.
"Ummm Z why did you call that dude lord?" X was now looking at Inuyasha. Sure, they had only just met, but with the stories Kagome told him he understood Inuyasha didn't always think before he leapt.
At that time Zero jumped down and attacked X with his saber. X managed to get away in time. "Zero what the hell are you doing?" At the same time Sesshomaru and Inuyasha began their fight. Jaken was up on the hill with Rin both where routing their lord on.
Kagome just watched. How she hated it when this happened but right now she was more worried about X. He had just finished telling her about how close he and Zero where. Two best friends fighting over what?
"Master Jaken didn't Master Zero say that this Mr. X and him were good friends, so why are they fighting?"
Jaken looked at Rin then back to the fights. "Why should I know? It's not like I can read his mind."
Rin frowned. "There's no need to be mean Master Jaken. So how many days has master Zero been with us?"
Jaken rolled his eyes he couldn't believe how stupid the girl was but then he thought that maybe all humans where like that. "Two weeks Rin I still have the bump on my head."
((Flashback!))
Jaken was running trying to catch up with Rin and Sesshomaru. "Wait for me m'lord." As Jaken ran he slipped and fell face first. Just as he started to get up Zero dropped out of the sky and landed on the toad.
"Well lucky me, I landed on something soft." Zero got up and looked at Jaken. "Well that's the ugliest toad I've ever seen."
"I'm no toad mortal! I am the servant to the great Sesshomaru the ruler of the western lands."
"Wow a talking toad...maybe I hit my head when I landed."
By now Sesshomaru and Rin came over to see what the noise was about.
"Are you okay Master Jaken."
"Of course I am wench!" The last part earned him a kick from Sesshomaru. "Owww."
"Okay..." Zero pulled out his saber but didn't turn it on.
Jaken got up and brushed himself off. "This mortal dares to fight you with a sword handle." As he finished the green blade came out and Zero readied himself making Jaken and Rin jump.
"Jaken. This creature is not demon, human or a half." Sesshomaru took out his Tokijin
"What do you mean m'lord?"
"So what are you? I can tell you aren't human and your toad well he looks like a toad but he can't be one." When Zero didn't get and answer he put his saber away. "I'm guessing that's not what's important."
Sesshomaru nods and puts his sword away. "You aren't from this world are you?"
Zero looked around then hit a button on his arm white nose come from in and he sighs. "I guess your right. I'm not sure where I am." He hits the same button and the nose stops.
They both turned when Rin screamed. A huge Crow demon had the girl in it's claws and was flying away. "Lord Sesshomaru!"
At that time both Sesshomaru and Zero started running after the girl neither one noticing the other. At that time both took out their weapons, jumped, and killed the demon, only this time Zero caught Rin. When the two warriors landed Zero put Rin down and she ran to her lord.
"Ummm thank you." Called the girl from behind her lord, Zero looked at the girl and grinned.
"Think nothing of it."
Sesshomaru just looks at Zero. "What is your name?"
"You can call me Zero." Sesshomaru nods then before he can take his leave Rin runs back over to Zero.
"Thank you again Master Zero. Lord Sesshomaru can Master Zero join us."
Sesshomaru turned his back so no could see his face. "Do as you please."
((End of flashback))
"Ohhh Master Zero and Lord Sesshomaru do seem to be getting along well." She smiled and looked back at her lord who just knocked his half brother to the ground.
"Be quite girl I'm trying to watch. Ohhh I can't wait to see lord Sesshomaru finish off his weak half brother."
Zero and X where zigzagging between trees. "Zero why are we fighting?"
All X got was a punch in the face. "You're too soft X!"
X stops and fires a few weak shots at Zero but Zero just dodged them. "Fight me like you mean it!" Zero rammed X in the chest and sent his old friend flying into a tree. The tall tree was knocked down due to the force.
Over with the two brothers. "Half-breed I despise the fact that my fathers blood flows though you!" Their swords clashed.
"Grrrrr shut up Sesshomaru!" Again their swords met and sparks flew. "I'll be the one to kill Naraku so butt out."
Sesshomaru jumps back and pointed his sword at the sky. "Behold. Dragon Strike!" Out of the Tokijin came bright blue lighting that struck Inuyasha. The half-breed swung his sword.
"Grrrrr Backlash Wave!" A small twister flew at Sesshomaru, but he easily jumped out of the way. As he did his lighting disappeared and Inuyasha had fallen to his knees.
Sesshomaru pointed the Tokijin at Inuyasha's neck. "I win now it's your time to die."
Just as he swings his sword a bright pink light knocks it out of his hand. Kagome stands their holding her bow. The light was from one of her arrows. "Bah. Jaken, Rin, Zero we're going." As Sesshomaru walked back up the hill graping his Tokijin he then returned his sword to its place on his left side. All three nodded and followed.
X stood there and watched his best friend leave with the small party. "Zero..."
