Disclaimer: See chapter 1
NOTE:I changed Kholdstares name because one of my friends told me that it was also the name of a boss in some old game.(If anyone knows the game Id really like to know just in case he's lying and being an asshole) But I just wanted to get that out of the way. His new name is Frost (Sorry but its the best i could come up with)
Chapter 4- Emotionless battle: Sesshomaru vs. Frost
Sessshomaru was walking along the side of a river with Jaken, his imp assistant and Rin, the only human he didn't despise.They had continued walking until they were stopped by a man in light blue armor. "Who are you? You seem to have a slightly similar aura to Inuyasha." he asked. "I do not see the reason to give my name to a demon that is so far below me." The dog demon said in his usual emtionless voice.
"Now who are you that demands my name?" Sesshomaru ordered. "I am Frost, the ice master, and judging by your energy, you are most likely Inuyashas brother Sesshomaru. Are you not?" Kholdstare said in an emotionless voice much like Sesshomarus.
"Unfortunatley yes, why?" The dog demon asked. "Our brothers killed each other in a battle last night." Frost said still with no emotion. Sesshomaru was surprised to hear that his half brother was killed by someone other than him or Naraku. He then said " So I assume that you have come here to do away with me as well?"
"Not unless you have any jewel shards, but even so, if you desire a fight I'd be happy do grant you one." Frost said. "Jaken, take Rin and leave here." Sesshomaru told his Impish assistant. "Yes master." Jaken then quickly took the human girl and started running. " Be careful lord Sesshomaru!" Rin yelled back as she began waving back to him.
As soon as they had left his sight Sesshomaru lunged at the blue knight. A wall of ice appeared in front of him, blocking his attack. He then felt his shoulder become numb. He looked and saw Frosts hand on his shoulder, freezing his entire arm quickly, leaving only his hand free and dissapearing into an icy mist which quickly covered the entire path they were on.
Sesshomaru then used his whip of light to blow away the mist. But as soon as it was blown away it quickly returned. He then felt numbness overtake his leg. He looked down to see his leg was frozen as well. He then started sniffing the air, but unfortunately it seemed as though the mist was masking the ice demons scent as well."Try as you might, you wont be able to sniff me out. Even with your sensitive nose this mist will cover any scent that I may have." Frost stated as he remained behind the veil of mist.
"You cannot defeat me." Frosts voice seemed to be coming from everywhere. "Once I finish you I will destroy that Imp and then the girl. That was Inuyashas weakness as well, his concern for human lives. " Frost said as he was obviously refering to his concern for Kagome.
But then he had then crossed the line by threatening Rin. "You will not harm them." Said a now angry Sessshomau yet still sounding emotionless. His eyes then turned blood red and his claws extended further, as his arm and legs shattered the ice that held him. He then grew fur all over his body until he was completely tranformed in to his demon state. The now demonic Sesshomaru sniffed the air again but this time he had attempeted to inhale the icy mist. To Frosts dismay this simple yet effective plan worked.
Now with his opponent revealed Sesshomaru brought down his mighty claw on his tiny foe. His giant claw came crashing down on Frost who then was missing a majority of his armor, which quickly froze back. Then a small spear of ice shot out of his hand and peirced Sesshomarus left eye, bursting it on impact.
"ROOOAAARRR!" Sesshomaru roared out in agony and fury as he swiped at Frost again slamming him into the trees that dotted the path. "You are stronger than I thought in your demon form." Frost yelled to the dog demon.
"I hope big brother doesnt mind me transforming but its the only way I can show this fool how weak he truley is. I will have to use only a small amount of power so that our pressence will remain unknown." He then thought to himself.
"AHHHHH!" Frost screamed out with his eyes now becoming as red as Sesshomarus. As his power began to rise, snow began falling and the ground around him began to freeze almost instantly. He then sprouted wings like a giant bird, and talons to match. His mouth covering burst open to reveal a beautiful saphire blue beak to match his other bird-like features. His tail then came next witch unlike most birds was very long and white, like the backs of his wings. He then burst open the rest of his armor revealing a gigantic pheonix-like creature with blue and white coloring.
The beautiful but deadly demon bird flew up into the air and came crashing down on the still stunned Sesshomaru. As Frost made contact with the dog demon, there was a bright blue flash of light. Once the light faded, Sesshomaru had been not only frozen solid, he had also reverted back to his human form. Frost then let out a long melodic cry of victory. It traveled for miles before it dissapated with the demons transformation back to his armored state. "I take the time to transform and risk big brother destroying me for it only to find that Inuyashas brother is even weaker than he himself was. Pathetic, your not even worth killing."
Frost began to walk away but he was quickly halted when he heard the sound of shattering ice behind him. He turned around and quickly drew his saber when he saw Sesshomarus Toukijin heading straight for him. He blocked the attack and jumped back, only to have the sword plundge through him from behind.
"I wont be defeated by such a weak attack." Sesshomaru told him as he pulled his sword out of the ice masters back. "Well then. I suppose that I'll have to defeat you by other means." Frost then released the ice mist once again. "You fool. I wont even need to transform again." Sesshomaru then raised his Toukijin in front of him. "I'll just destroy everything around me. DRAGON STRIKE!" The sword exploded with blue energy which quickly spread to his entire body. Sesshomaru then slashed the Toukijin through the air which casued the waves of energy that were surrounding him to blast out in every direction.
The mist was cleared and Sesshomaru looked around for his opponent. He quickly jumped to the side when he saw Frost, coming down from above with his saber over his head. "You're no match for me. As of now i've only been using a fraction of my true power. Even my transfomation wasn't at full." Frost informed him. "But I see now that the only way to show you how insignificant you are compared to us is to show you my true power."
He then pointed his finger in the dierction that Rin and Jaken had run. Sesshomarus eyes widened slightly once he realized what he was doing. "Tundra cannon." Frost said calmly, his voice seeming to echo for a moment.
A massive explosion of white and blue energy followed these words as Sesshomaru jumped in front of the attack. After the smoke cleared, Sesshomaru and a large portion of the path they had been fighting on were frozen solid.
"You are a fool. I will not even grace you with the honor of perishing by my blade. You must live with the shame of your defeat." Frost then began to walk away until a man with purple armor appeared in a flash of lighting and disapeared with Frost in an instant.
---------------------------------------
"Its still hard to beileve that you get to come here all the time." Yusuke said to Kagome with a bit of jealousy in his voice. " Its also hard to believe that there were so many demons in this time." Kuwabara said as he looked around nervously. "Are you jealous Yusuke? You must really like fighting demons then." Kagome said as they continued to walk to Kaedes village. (Kagome had to go get them once everyone was back in their bodies since they didnt know the way.)
"If I wasnt on Koenmas leash I would stay here where I could let my demon side loose." Hiei said. "Nah you'd miss us too much and come crawling back." Yusuke said laughing a little. Hiei then gave him his pattented death glare. "So Kagome, how strong would you say Inuyasha is?" He asked, changing the subject.
"Well he's definitely not someone you want to be enemies with, and he has the Tetsuaiga. So with that I'd say he's by far the strongest person I ever met! But even though he puts on a tough guy act he really is a complete softy underneath!" She told him as they got closer to Kaedes village.
When they got there the rest of the group was waiting. Inuyasha jumped down from a tree and said "Its about time you guys got here!" "Your acting like we were gone for hours, its only been about fifteen minutes." Kagome said. "Its already getting dark we should rest tonight so both our teams will be at full strength tommorow." Miroku said.
But just as they were going to head in a crowd of people had gathered around to see the new strangers. "Lady Kagome are they from your time?" One man asked. "Will they be going with you on your travels?" Another woman questioned. They had to push their way through the crowd of people before they saw an old woman with an eyepatch gesture them to come into her home. When they got inside Kagome explained everything to Kaede in great detail.
By the time she was done with her story Shippo and Kirara were asleep and everyone else was starting to fall asleep too. Except of course Inuyasha and Hiei, being the night owls they were didnt even show signs of fatigue. By the time Kagome was done Kaede was overwhelmed from everything Kagome told her. When she finally did speak she said " I suppose that ye shall be looking for these knights for a long while. But remember ye and your friends will always be welcome to rest here. Everyone has gone to sleep ye need sleep too child. We can discuss things in the morning." " Good night Kaede." Kagome then laid down and reached into her pack for the sacred jewel shards to look at them before she went to sleep as she often did.
"MY JEWEL SHARDS ARE GONE!" she accidentally yelled out, waking up everyone except Yusuke. Then Inuyasha ran in "Whats wrong Kagome?" He asked. "My jewel shards are missing!" she told him while frantically looking through her bag for the tiny bottle containing her five jewel shards. "Those bastards must have taken them after I died!" Inuyasha said. With everyone crowding the room Inuyasha said "Right before I died I saw two of those knights. Wait! Now I remember! That wind guy said that they were looking for the jewel! That must be the reason that they chose this time as their new home!"
Miroku sighed and said "Well there isnt anything we can do about it right now. We'll have to wait until tomorrow to go searching for them,but for now everyone needs rest. "He walked behind Sango and started to move his hand but got a smack in the face that left a big red handprint before he could even reach his target. Everybody let out a tired chuckle before going back to bed.
