Chapter 7

A Meeting with Lord Sesshomaru

Serena continued walking until she came to an open meadow. A small stream ran through it so Serena sat down next to it and watched the water flow by. It was quiet and peaceful out in the meadow. She thought back to what Myoga said and then looked at the jewel.

The blood of two strong dog demons are in this jewel. She thought as the purple stone sparkled in the sun light. But why am I destined to have it?

The wind blew softly and played with the bangs of her hair. But as the wind blew, her new senses picked up on an unfamiliar scent. It was like InuYasha's scent but it wasn't Inuyasha. The scent smelled older then Inuyasha and there was the faint hint of human blood. She then heard footsteps crushing the grass somewhere behind her. She slowly turned around while carefully placing her hand on the Tetsusaiga.

From the corner of her eye she saw a man with very long silver hair, glowing yellow eyes, and odd markings on his face. He also had a long fluffy thing coming from his belt and over his shoulder, dressed in a white kimono outfit, and the belt was a yellow and blue sash. She knew this man to be Lord Sesshomaru because she recognized the red patterns on the sleeves.

He stopped walking when he saw her. She slowly stood up, her hand now grasping the handle of the sword, ready for anything in case he attacked her. They just stood there in the field until he asked, "Who are you? You look like my worthless half demon of a brother Inuyasha yet you don't smell like him."

Still holding herself steady, she said, "I am Serena Higurashi. Since you know Inuyasha, Lord Sesshomaru, you must know of my younger sister, Kagome?"

"Yes I know of her. She's a powerful priestess." He wasn't making a single move. He wasn't even twitching. It was scaring her how completely still he was.

Even though she didn't break her eye contact on Sesshomaru, she could see Inuyasha and the others running toward them from the village far away. Serena just had to distract this man until they got over to her.

"What do you want with Inuyasha anyway?" she could somehow heard the Tetsusaiga to use it against him but the problem was she didn't now how. Inuyasha told her that the Tetsusaiga will transform into a large fang if she was protecting a human. The only human she could think of to protect was her sister.

"I want Tetsusaiga." He said without emotion. "A worthless half demon like him doesn't deserve a sword of such power."

She focused all her heart and soul on protecting Kagome while saying, "You mean this sword." She withdrew the sword from its sheath and for a moment she thought it didn't work. A second later, in a bright flash of light, the thin blade transformed into a giant fang. Wow! She thought as she held the sword in her hands. It looked real heavy but was light as a feather.

"How did someone like you come to have the Tetsusaiga?" Sesshomaru said drawing his sword. Somehow Serena could feel an evil ora coming from it.

"It's a long story. I bet you wouldn't be interested so I'm not going to tell you." She held the sword in front of her and saw the others getting closer. Come on guys hurry up. I can't distract him forever!

"So you are able to transform the sword." He said, holding his sword in an attack position. She took a few years of sword fighting so she knew he was preparing for battle. "But I doubt you know who to attack with it."

He moved so fast that she almost got hit by his sword. With a split second decision, Serena jumped hard off the ground before his sword came down on her. She fell back to earth, jumped of his back, flipped a couple times and landed where he was standing only a moment ago. They never talked about this back in the sword fighting academy she thought as she turned around to face him. Course they never talked about fighting demons like Sesshomaru anyway.

"Serena!" She heard Kagome's voice calling her. She wanted to run and keep her away but that would show her as a coward to her opponent. So she stayed where she was and tried to summon the Wind Scar.

Inuyasha told her that when the two demonic oras collided, she should attack that spot between the oras. She focused on finding the oras he was talking about while Sesshomaru attacked her mercilessly. She had to use Tetsusaiga as a shield to block his attacks.

When Inuyasha was only a few feet away from her, she finally saw it. She used all her strength to push Sesshomaru away and focused on the oras even more. "I may not now why you're attacking me, but you can never have my sword! I found it in my own backyard and there's no way in hell that you're taking it away from."

A swirling cloud formed around the Tetsusaiga as she focused even more on the spot between her ora and Sesshomaru's. There! It looked like lightning and she believed that's what Inuyasha was talking about. She raised the Tetsusaiga over her shoulder and ran full speed a Sesshomaru. He did the same but Serena was quicker. She slashed at the lightning spot and cried "WIND SCAR!"

A bright wave of powerful energy erupted from the Tetsusaiga and went straight for Sesshomaru. It hit him straight on, and his screams of pain filled the air.

"Serena!" Inuyasha came up behind her as the energy slowly faded. "How did you do that!"

"Like you said how to do it." She said, still looking at the spot where Sesshomaru was. "I looked for the spot between the demonic oras and attack it."

The light had faded completely and Sesshomaru was on the ground. He wasn't moving at all. The ground around him looked like it had been scratched by extremely large claws.

"I did I kill him?" She put Tetsusaiga away and went slowly over to him. His wasn't moving and his eyes were closed. Even though he looked unconscious, she thought that he looked handsome.

"Who cares!" said Inuyasha happily. "The bustard is finally dead!"

"Serena! Are you okay?" Said Kagome when she finally caught up with Inuyasha. "What happened to him?"

"I'm fine." she said looking at her. "But I think Sesshomaru was knocked out by the power of my wind scar."

Miroku came up behind Kagome and said, "That attack looked stronger and brighter then Inuyasha's!"

"What!" Inuyasha went from happy to pissed off the moment Miroku spoke.

Sango, who was now dressed in a black and pink battle outfit, carefully went over to inspect Sesshomaru's body. "He looks unconscious but he's bleeding severely from his left shoulder."

"We should at least help him." Miroku went over to help Sango lift Sesshomaru's body onto a larger sized cat demon that Serena heard was Kilala's other form. "He did find Serena for us."

"ARE YOU INSANE?" Inuyasha yelled.

"INUYASHA!" Kagome yelled back at him "RIN TRAVELS WITH HIM ALL THE TIME! HOW'D YOU THINK SHE'D FEEL IF SESSHOMARU WAS DEAD?"

"WHY SHOULD I CARE ABOUT….uh oh!" Inuyasha could tell she was going to say those two dreadful words.

"INUYASHA!" Right when she said his name he ran as fast as he could out of the meadow. But he was to late, "SIT BOY!"

Inuyasha disappeared into the tall grass as the necklace slammed him to the ground. Serena stared at where Inuyasha head been only a moment ago then said, "Kagome?"

"What is it Serena?" They all walked back to the village with Sesshomaru on Kilala's back.

Serena looked at Kagome and asked, "Do you have another one of those enchanted necklaces?"
