The Moon and Stars Chapter 4 Thou Step-est Out of the Rain
"Rin!" Mizuki called as she walked into the castle. "Who is it? Oh my goodness, who are you?" Rin asked in fear and shock. "Don't tell me you don't recognize me!" Gasped a surprised Mizuki. "L-Lord Sesshoumaru!" Jaken screamed. "Run Rin! I'll handle it!" Rin nodded and started to run. "No you don't," Mizuki said, she raised up one hand and Rin froze in place. "What kind of sorcery is this?" Rin asked, not able to budge. "Oh no, Lord Sesshoumaru is going to have my head!" Jaken thought out loud. "Who's the ugly green thing?" Ami asked, raising her eyebrow, while pointing a finger at Jaken. Jaken opened his mouth to say something, when Osamu came in, making Jaken freeze.
"Its all right Jaken." Sesshoumaru said, following in behind them, with Shouhei. "S-Shouhei! Lord Sesshoumaru, tell me what's going on here, if you don't mind," Jaken asked sincerely. Mizuki then explained everything. "Ken—I mean, Mizuki, its really you?" Jaken asked surprised. "Of course!" She shouted. Rin then ran up to Mizuki and hugged her. "Fine then, ignore me," Ami said, crossing her arms.
"I'm sorry! I love you Ami," Mizuki said sweetly. "Ah to hell with it, you get me every time," Ami said, with a cheeky grin on her face. "Mother, are we staying here for the night?" Shouhei asked her. Mizuki ran back outside and noticed the sun starting to set, then she looked at Sesshoumaru. "Yes, you are all staying here tonight."
Everything seemed to go by smoothly the rest of the night. Rin and Mizuki got caught up with each other again. "She's beautiful," Shouhei sighed, while peeking in at Rin and his mother through the door that was ajar. "I see we have a peeping Tom," Ami glared down at Shouhei. "Come with me," she grabbed Shouhei by his collar of his haori before he could run. "Taken a little liking in Rin, have we?" She said with a smirk. "Shut up!" Shouhei blushed.
"Your father wouldn't be pleased, plus she's too old for you," Ami sighed. "Age sucks, huh?" She asked him. "Yeah," he said slowly and sadly. "Cheer up kid, there's plenty of other girls in the sea, trust me," Ami said, wrapping her arm around him. "T-Thanks," Shouhei stuttered. "Something wrong?" Ami asked. "I've never had a girl so close to me before, that's all." He admitted. "Its okay, I won't bite ya know," she laughed. "Sure," then Shouhei got up and walked back into the castle, Ami following close behind.
"Bye kid," she called while waving, then she went into her room and went to bed. Rin was already in her bed sleeping. Considering that Shouhei had nothing else to do, he sighed and decided to go to sleep as well.
Mizuki was in Sesshoumaru's room with Sesshoumaru, but she wasn't asleep, she had other thoughts swarming around in her head like little insects. She had an uneasy feeling to her, unexplainable feeling. Sesshoumaru was long asleep, but she cautiously went to through the shoji doors and closed them shut. She walked out in the garden, foreseeing what lay ahead.
Daisuke, the most powerful demon out there, awaited her. "So, you've come after all," he smirked. "Now tell me what you want from me," she said bitterly. "To settle our old quarrel once and for all, but this time I will defeat you," his tone then grew icy and his face livid. "Was it really our quarrel young one, or was it another whose footsteps you wish to follow in. . .Or even surpass?" Mizuki said calmly. "Do not call me young wench! I will have my revenge! And I'll show you how much more superior I am than he was!" With that he turned, but before he left, he stated, "You have one hour, meet me at the Sacred Shrine or that son of yours will have a very cruel awakening." Then he vanished.
Mizuki gritted her teeth and narrowed her eyes, then she tied up her hair. "If its a battle you wish, then its a battle you will receive," she stated while taking off the heavy ceremonial kimono which was her attire at the moment. Underneath she was wearing an all black haori meant for women, the ones that fought. The sleeves were cut off and a red obi held it together, the only type of footing she wore were bandages.
As promised in silent agreement, Mizuki was there within an hour. She didn't even have time to act or think or even speak before Daisuke struck her in the shoulder with his blade, her blood splattering on his face as well as the sword. He licked the edge of the blade with satisfaction as she howled in pain.
So he decides not to play fair in this match, Mizuki winced.
He came in for another attack but she fended off the attack with one of her spells and turned around to face him head on while drawing her sword from its sheath. Again, he attacked, she held her sword out and the sound of metal clashing together rang in the air, Daisuke and Mizuki in an all out battle to overcome each other with Daisuke attacking and Mizuki attempting to do a defensive. Mizuki finally won their struggling attempt and slashed him in the side, leaving raw meat exposed, oxygen hitting against Daisuke's side as he yelped in pain.
"It isn't over," He panted through swift breaths. Their battling seemed to last for hours on end, and it continued even in the early hours of the morning. It was then 3 AM, but no one could have predicted what would happen next. "I've got you!" Mizuki screamed, her sword glowing a deep purple as Daisuke lied there helplessly awaiting the feel of the blade against him, waiting for the blade to disintegrate his being.
He he, its over! But I wonder what will happen next? Hm, let's see!
