Chapter 6
Your P.O.V you lunged at him and your katana slice into his side faster than he had time to react. To anyone watching you were a blur, moving quickly in circles around him. He swung his blade at you like a barbaric fool. You stepped in front of him and grabbed him blade between your hands. Eyes just slits now, you spoke to this frightened lord in front of you. "Take to the grave with you my triumph of avenging my father and the fact that the one who you have oppressed is the one to be the cause of your death!" you said this through tights lips and almost in a whisper. You then took his blade and crushed the cheap metal between your palms. A look of shock and fear spread across his face as he realized that he was going to die. With a swift movement you sliced at Arbassa's arms with your (now covered with thorns) sword. He screamed in agony. "For all the pain and turmoil you have caused me I will cause an equal amount of physical pain for you. You will not die yet, but my thorns have poisoned you beyond repair, you shall die a slow, painful death my lord." with that you bowed to him with a maniacal laugh. Within moments he fell to the ground screaming in pain, he was turning a myriad of colors. The poison was taking effect and in a couple of agonizing hours he would be dead. You turned away from him, satisfied with your work, and walked towards the table. Rin was not crying like you expected her to, you guessed that her years with Sesshomaru had prepared her for things like this. You picked up a napkin to clean off your sword, and felt a strange sensation down your side, an irritating feeling, like a feather being brought down on your side. You looked down and nearly screamed in rage, so he had gotten at least one effective blow towards you, you just never noticed. It was bleeding pretty badly, the edges on your vision were turning black and you were just conscious long enough to hear Mika scream as Arbassa's lady came to attack you, she wanted revenge. You heard a clashing of blades and your world turned black.
Sesshomaru's P.O.V Alira withdrew her blade from around Arbassa, leaving green colored wounds behind. 'So her notorious Furunu is also poisonous. Impressive.' You watched as Arbassa fell to the ground screaming in agony, his mate watching his defeat with a horrified expression on her face. You heard Alira speak to Arbassa before he began screaming, "For all the pain and turmoil you have caused me I will cause an equal amount of physical pain for you. You will not die yet, but my thorns have poisoned you beyond repair, you shall die a slow, painful death my lord." She bowed and laughed, that's when you took notice of the deep wound on her right side. 'When did Arbassa manage to do that?' you pondered. Alira was walking towards the table now she withdrew her sword and used a napkin to clean it off. She started to become a little unsteady and was now covered in blood from the waste down; she looked down, her eyes blood red in rage. What happened next was a blur; Arbassa's mate growled in rage at her mates' side and withdrew her blade. She lunged for Alira not caring that Alira was nearly unconscious. Mika screamed afraid for her friend's life, too petrified to do anything. Your body went into autopilot as you stepped up to defend Alira's life. "You dare attack someone when their back is turned!? Where is your honor you filthy wench!" With that your blades clashed, within moments the demon was lying on the floor, bleeding to death. "What is your business defending that whore Sesshomaru, she deserves to die, she has given my mate a fate worse than death. She is a worthless filthy slave whose life is worth nothing, Why defend her!?" she snarled at you. You ignored her questioning; she was not someone worth explaining to. You walked away and towards Alira. She was unconscious and covered in blood with Mika at her side. "My lord, she needs medical attention and fast. The last time she did the sacred ritual was a many moons ago; she is weak and nearly powerless. The medics here cannot do much for her. Are you able to take her back with you?" Rin ran up to you, tears streaming down her face, "Please Lord Sesshomaru, she is going to die, please, we need her, oh please Lord Sesshomaru?" You looked at Rin's sad face; you did not wish to be the cause of this face being her permanent emotion if Alira died. "Jakken, grab Alira's things, we are to leave immediately!" Jakken jumped at your command, "But why mi' lord, do we honestly need another person to slow us down?" You turned to Jakken, "Do not question your master!" "Yes, milord!" Jakken hurried off to get their things. You watched as the medics took care of Alira's wound. As they turned her over to wrap the bandage around her, you say the scars from her beatings and whippings. You winced, 'For a demon to scar like that means Arbassa would beat her continually in the same spot. The bastard!' You growled at the thought and were glad that he was lying on the floor in agony. As soon as Jakken came back you ordered him to get Au-un ready, and went to pick up Alira. "Come Rin, we are leaving." You walked out to the waiting Au-Un and began to walk westward, occasionally looking at the beauty in your arms, wondering what was to happen now.
