Here is chapter 14! Thank you to all that have put me one their alerts! I'm sorry it takes me so long to upload these. School is almost over so i should be able to add more soon!
Jordan sat at a loss for words against a tree. She couldn't believe it. No, she didn't want to believe it. She had become awed and disgusted with her sword in a few moments time. 'How is that even possible?' she thought to herself. 'But more importantly how would I manage to pull off something like that? And to get away from Sesshomaru long enough, I don't think that's possible.'
FLASHBACK
"What I will tell you I was taught from an ancient text. It was written about 12 swords that were made centuries ago, before these lands were split up into north, south, east and west." Jillian said in a monotone voice. "There were 12 sword smiths, whom crafted a sword from the bones of the dead, and the metal of the heart. They would find the corpse of the most corrupt battle leaders and use their bones and blood to forge a sword of death and despair. It is said that the sword smiths used the darkest magic from the gates of hell to turn the bones and blood to metal. Because of the way the swords were made they became cursed. They held the power of hell within them, and the only ones who could wield them were their creators. If someone, like yourself, where to try to use the sword, it would slowly consume your soul. So, if you continue to use it, it will become harder and harder to wield. The souls and spirits within will not recognize you as their true master. "
"What? Wait, then is there a way to master the sword?" Jordan asked. Her face had become paler. Jillian snickered inside, 'What I have to tell her next will scare her silly.' He thought.
"Yes, there is a way to master it. But, it will be very dangerous, and possibly futile. The way to do this is simple in theory. You must kill the swords current master with Jigokumon. Do not worry thought, the souls used to forge the blade loathe the person who made them, they were denied eternal peace, and made into a weapon. No soul, no matter how cruel, wants that. So you will not have to worry about the sword turning on you in the battle. The tricky part will be the swords smith. The masters of Jigokumon are given immortality. The only way they can be killed is if they are run though with Jigokumon. The only known surviving member of the creators once lived on the other side of the continent, but lucky for you he now lives about a 2 day walk from here, just outside a large village.
"Does that mean if I kill the owner, I receive immortality too?" Jordan asked slightly curious.
"No, that is reserved for the creators only, but you will obtain a longer life time, like one of a demon, you will age and mature much slower than humans." He replied. Jordan smiled.
"Good cause I don't want immortality, it would be a pain, to never die." She said. Jillian eyed her curiously. 'She doesn't want immortality, what an odd child.' He thought.
"This will be easy, god you had me going for a while there. So all I have to do is kill the guy, using Jigokumon, and I'm saved." She said with a triumphant smile.
"If it were that easy then they would be a massive war over the swords." Jillian said darkly. Jordan gulped. "While you fight the owners, your soul will be eaten away. Every second your soul will be devoured at a huge rate by the owner. If you fail to defeat him in 5 minutes, your chances of survival are gone...." Jordan paled. "And…"
'Of course there's more,' she thought with dread.
"This is a battle that you must undertake on your own. If you have any outside help, you will die."
End Flashback
"This is great… just my luck," she thought miserably. "How am I going to get away from Sesshomaru long enough to kill this owner? And how am I going to defeat this guy, without losing my soul?" They had begun walking few hours earlier, going in the direction of the village Jillian had spoken about. "It's like he knows what I have to do!"
After ages of thinking Jordan finally decided to ask Sesshomaru for advice, in the most discrete way she could think of.
"Hey, Sesshomaru!" She shouted at when they had stopped for the night. He showed no signs of hearing her. He had sat himself down on a low lying branch of a tree, a good 15 feet up, much to her annoyance. "Fine then, you bastard, make me climb all the way up there…"She grumbled to herself, trying to make it to the branches that staggered up the tree. When she finally got a hold of it she lifted herself up and continued on till she was on the same limb Sesshomaru was. He still hadn't recognized her being there so she slowly crept up till she was sitting a foot away. When he STILL did acknowledge she was there she leaned forward a bit and brought her fist back to try to swing at him. Of course he caught her fist before she could punch his jaw, but she was close!
"What is it human, can you not see that I do not wish to be disturbed?" He growled, while glaring at her, but not letting go of her wrist.
"Oh I could tell, but I had a question for you!" She chirped, smirking evilly at him. And not failing to notice that he hadn't let go.
"Why can't you ask your friend Jillian, he seems to be the one you talk to now?" His voice lased with a hint of venom.
"Because it's something I want you to answer." She said, losing her cheerful tone.
"Then ask quickly, and make sure it is not a waste of my time."
"Jealous much? Though I have no idea why, he's way hotter than Jillian, WHOA you did not just think that!!!!" she thought.
"Have you ever come across a enemy that you could not defeat?" She asked quietly.
"This Sesshomaru has never-",
"I don't care about your high and mighty bull crap! Have you or haven't you?"
"Silence! I have fought an enemy that I didn't have a chance of beating, and as you can see this Sesshomaru is fine!" he growled.
"What did you do? How do you fight someone who you know is stronger?"
"…Never give up, really want what to win, and never believe you will lose." He answered after a while.
"That is so Cliché." Jordan said deadpanned. But she was shocked he even answered her question. "I guess he's not that bad after all." She thought. "Thank…"
Sesshomaru had silenced her before she could finish, someone had just walked into the clearing.
"What is a priestess doing here," he growled. Jordan looked to where the women had entered.
"Yuri!" She cried. "She should know what to do! She can help me get away from them for a while!" Jordan pushed herself down a couple feet to a branch below, then hopped down to meet her friend.
"Ah! Miss Jordan! I have been looking for you! I need to speak to you!" She said while smiling happily.
"How did you know where to find me?" Jordan asked.
"I followed a rainbow, just joking you, no; you have a very distinct aura, very light, but very dark too. It's pretty hard to miss." Yuri answered laughing. "But I really need to speak with you! But now's not the time," She said while glancing at Sesshomaru who was glaring at her. "Can you come to the village tomorrow around mid day?" She asked, with an oddly serious look on her face.
"Yeah, and I actually need to ask you something too."
"Tomorrow then."
