Sesshomaru's Red Eyes
Chapter 15:
Kagome and Sango: In the Line of Fire!
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
"What a terrible waste."
"Huh?" Sango said, craning her head downward. When she did, she saw her least favorite person (well, for now at least -tee hee) covered in the rose petals that she threw on top of him. "Oh no." She didn't mean for this to happen. Why couldn't it have been anyone else! This baka youkai had just threatened Kirara, and now he was going to brag about it for sure.
He fished a rose that was still whole out of his silky, silver hair. After that, he looked up at her.
"What are you doing so close to my balcony?" she questioned suspiciously.
"I may go wherever I want and see whomever I want, I am Lord of the Western Lands, and this, my dear Sango, is my castle." He glanced at the roses that surrounded him, "I've never been showered in roses before, I thank you, Sango."
The demon slayer was livid, "You wish, baka inu! I had no intention of EVER doing such a thing! I thought you were smart enough to know that, but once again, you have proved your stupidity ten times over!"(a/n: damn, listen to her chew him out! You can't talk to hot Sesshy like that!)
All Sesshomaru could do was smirk, "Still as feisty as ever I see. You aren't even accepting gifts from your invalid monk anymore? Does this mean you accept your fate of bearing my son?"
Sango was confused. She looked at the paper that said who the flowers were from quizzically, "You mean, they aren't from you?"
He tilted his head a bit and then jumped up onto the balcony railing, "I am not a pathetic fool like the monk." He got off the railing, and landed in front of her. Their noses were no more than an inch apart, "What gave you that impression?" Trying her best to keep her hand from shaking, she held up the piece of paper between their noses. He took it, and began to read it. His eyebrow kept raising higher and higher as he read on. Not wanting to be in his presence any longer, Sango started to walk away. Without ever removing his eyes from the paper, Sesshomaru used demon speed to scoop Sango up around the waist. She was being pressed against him, a very um...awkward position for her indeed. She highly disliked being manhandled. 'Never a dull moment with him,' she thought, 'Wait- no, that's not what I meant!' "I'd rather appreciate it if you let me go," she uttered dully.
"You aren't resisting?"
"I'm used to it by now."
"What exactly are you used to?"
"Your incessant closeness."
"You're used to it, or you enjoy it?"
"I'm used to it!"
"There is that fire that you possess." He handed the paper back to her, and she cautiously took it.
"Now will you let go?" she said with mock cheerfulness.
"Am I a cat demon?"
"Um...yes?" she asked hopefully.
"Absolutely not," he growled. Sango then received a death glare.
"It was worth a try," she muttered. He continued to glare at her. She just sighed heavily. Could she find the courage to ask him?
"Um..." she began awkwardly, "That letter, it isn't... true, is it?" She said it in a very small voice, but the frowing of Sesshomaru's brow told her that her question was heard.
His eyes drilled into hers, "Do you want it to be true?" He was now dangerously close, his hot breath on her face.
"Sesshomaru..." She took hold of either side of his face.
He blinked slowly, "I thought so."
Sango's eyes suddenly burned with fury, and then she headbutted him, causing him to release her. She fell to the floor, the impact of skull on skull causing her eyes to water.
Sesshomaru stared down at her. He looked mildly surprised, "You are very strong-willed, Sango. You are more loyal than anyone I have ever encountered, and a fire burns deeply within you-"
"-Stop! Not another word! Why must you torture me like this!"
"I torture you?"
"Hai! You know you do!"
"How do I torture you?" he asked, coming closer.
"Well...I-" she had to come up with something fast. Yes, that would suffice. "You were trying to make me feel guilty before, about Rin. It's not my fault she doesn't have a mother!"
He shook his head, "That is not what you were referring to, and you know it."
"It is!" she said with clenched fists, "How many times must I ask you to leave me alone! It is not like your other half said, you do not always get what you want because you are not going to get me!"
"So you can honestly say that you are not curious?"
"Why would I be?"
"Because of this."
Before she had time to react, his arms were around her, and his lips touching hers. This one kiss in particular, was very different. He wasn't squeezing the life out of her. He wasn't forceful. He was surprisingly gentle. Sango felt like her whole existence up to this point had been nothing more than a child's game. She felt like she was pretending. And no matter how many times she tried to tell herself that Sesshomaru was a heartless basterd, she could not deny it any longer. She felt the wild thumping of his heart, clearly there, and clearly unnoticed until now. She sympathized with him. He was denied the things that she always had, and it made her appreciate them even more-family, friendship, and above all, love. He wasn't just love deprived, he was life deprived. He could feel it too, Sango now felt all of the things he ever did. 'To think,' he thought, 'a human could do this. She is truly remarkable if she could get me to act so foolishly.' He ran his tongue along her bottom lip, causing her to dig her nails into the back of his neck. His fangs pressed lightly into her lips, and she rubbed her nose against his sweetly. As soon as it began, it was over.
While the two of them stood there, panting, in each other's arms, Sango had a clear picture in her mind-a picture of Miroku. She was more ashamed then she had ever been in her entire life. Though she could not say what she felt for Sesshomaru, it was quite clear how she felt about Miroku. She loved him. He was going to give up all of his old habits, just for her. Didn't that mean anything? What was she thinking, letting Sesshomaru get to her like this?
"I'm-"she began.
"-Don't you dare say that you are sorry, Sango," he shot back.
Her eyes were welling with tears now, "But I am, I really am. Besides," she said with a trace of a smile, "You don't have to use me, you know. I'm sure many eminent youkais would be delighted to bear your son."
"You think that is the only reason that I'm-"
"-Why else would it be?"
Sesshomaru seemed to be choosing his words very carefully, for it took some time before he answered, "There is something about you, Sango. Something that makes me want to be near you."
"It's just your imagination, maybe it's friendship that you're feeling."
"No, it is not. My notions to be near you were confirmed when I saw our son."
"Perhaps that demon inside of you is playing tricks on you."
"I would have known if he was."
"But that must be it, right, you just want a son."
He shook his head exasperatedly. 'What will it take to get through to her?' Then he answered, "You didn't see him."
"Your son?"
"Our son. Sango, he was... perfect."
"What do you mean?"
Oh, Kami, this was going to be a pain in the ass to say, "He was the perfect blend of...you and I," he finished.
"NO!" she screamed out. This was turning her inside out. Either way, someone was going to be hurt. She turned away from him, the tears were really rolling now. She didn't want him to see it. "I DON'T HAVE FEELING FOR YOU WHAT SO EVER!" she yelled with anguish. It was more to convince herself than to convince him.
He turned her around and put his hand on her cheek, gently rubbing his thumb against it.
"I will always be your friend, Sesshomaru," she said, as she felt her heart split in two.
'She has deep feelings for me,' he thought, 'I can feel it, even now, her heart is racing from my touch.' He paused for a great deal of time, pondering what he should do. Finally, he decided. "Marry the monk."
"Wh-what did you say?"
"You heard what I said."
She held back a sniffle, "Are you sure?"
"Hai," he said, trying to make his voice as cool and even as possible, "When shall it occur?"
Sango pondered for a moment, "Two days."
"I see..."
She smiled up at him, her face drenched in tears, "Thank you so much, Sesshomaru. You have no idea what this means to me."
'So she is happy? She is happy to be rid of me? Damn vexatious wench!' he thought, anger filling him in quickly, "Do not thank me yet, Slayer."
"Sesshomaru?"
"Sesshomaru-sama" He smiled spitefully, "Do not thank me, because I will still keep you cat in my possession."
"What!" she retorted angrily.
"You can forget about leaving the castle."
"Then how am I supposed to get married like you said!"
"Your marriage will take place on the castle grounds. I still need time to inflict my revenge on InuYasha."
"Sesshomaru, don't do this!"
"Do not address me in such a common manner, wench."
"What the hell is wrong with you!"
He grabbed hold of her shoulders, and she looked deep into his amber eyes. As she did, she felt her mind slowly slip away. She felt herself getting closer and closer to his face. She ran her fingers through his hair subconsciously. She was only a breath away from him when she heard a voice inside her head, 'Don't do it, Sango,' it pleaded, 'Don't give in.'
"Miroku?" She stopped, and pulled away like Sesshomaru gave her an electrical shock, "Something...in your hair," was her lame excuse.
Sesshomaru was looking at her puzzlingly, "Very well then. Talk to the servants about anything you may need."
"For the wedding?" she asked quietly.
"Hai. Farewell...Sango."
She had a hand to her forehead, "Yes...goodbye," she said absentmindedly.
With that, Sesshomaru took off into the air with the intention to flying back to his quarters...
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
Sango waited all of two seconds before she entered the sanctuary of her room.
Sango's POV
What happened just now? I almost kissed him...It was like I didn't realize what was happening. It was like I was in a trance or something. And then...I heard Miroku's voice come out of nowhere. But one thing is for certain, Sesshomaru's change in behavior is a fake. He's planning something alright. I shudder to think...It has to be, I mean, he's changed way too much for it to be true. He wants to ruin the wedding and hurt Miroku-well that simply will not do, Sesshomaru. I'm in on what you're up to, and you will NOT get away with it! I have to tell Kagome of what just transpired here. She took a step towards the door- Miroku...I cannot bear lying to you anymore. You must know EVERYTHING that happened. Oh, be strong, Sango!
End Sango's POV
There was a loud knock on the door that interrupted Sango's thoughts.
"Sango-chan, are you alright?"
"Coming, Kagome!" She opened the door, "The hot springs? Sure, Kagome, I'd be glad to go!" she uttered quickly before Kagome even opened her mouth.
"What are you-Sango!" Kagome yelped as Sango took hold of her wrist and began pulling her along.
"Something of importance has just occurred. I'll explain better at the hot springs."
"Sesshomaru-" Kagome started.
"-Please, Kagome," Sango intervened, "Wait for just a moment."
"Okay, just try not to pull my arm out of the socket, Sango."
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
Sesshomaru was on his way back to his quarters when he suddenly stopped in mid-air. "What?"
"Hello, Sesshomaru."
The icy cold voice was coming from inside his head, "You..." Sesshomaru trailed off, completely aware of who was talking to him.
"Hai, me," returned the voice.
"I tire of your nonsense, leave, or I shall become cross."
"Tsk, tsk, remember, Sesshomaru, I am a part of you, and you of me. Do you really think you can get rid of me that easily? You are not as aware of my powers as you thought, now were you? Tell me, do you enjoy floating up here, completely immobile?"
"You cannot contain the Lord of the Western Lands."
"You always were such a smug fool. Fine then, just try to free yourself. I fear all you will accomplish is my amusement."
So Sesshomaru tried. He attempted to move his arms, head, and legs. They just wouldn't budge. "You think you're so clever, do you. Well, answer me this, demon, how have you become so powerful?"
The demon chuckled. He was very proud of himself, no doubt. "The only reason I have gained so much power is the credit of no one but you, Sesshomaru. All those years of bottling up your emotions inside of you. I lied dormant inside your body, feeding off your raw, and need I say, most dominant emotions. Hate, spite, anger, vengence, desperation, and," he added, " the recently added lust."
Disgusted, Sesshomaru said coldly, "I do not lust."
"Oh yes you do," the demon mocked. He knew this comment would touch a nerve, "Your precious, little Sango," he said as Sesshomaru scowled. "Only you would be incompetent enough to harbor feelings for a human, and a taijiya no less." His voice dripped with amusement.
"Enough, you pathetic wretch."
"Ah, I have known this about you before even you yourself discovered it, she is your greatest vulnerability. To think that just now you attempted to tap into my hypnotizing powers just so you could get closer to her."
"How did you know?"
"How could I not know is the real question. In case you were wondering, it was I who was responsible for stopping it."
"You are not nearly as strong as me-"
"-Need I remind you, oh great Lord of the Western Lands, that you are stationary now because of me?" the demon interrupted, "You see, it was I that made Sango hear that idiot monk's voice in her head, begging her to stop."
"How dare you interfere in my affairs, they are of no concern of yours."
"It was a fine attempt on your part, however, you cannot fool the man slayer in the end. Your plan of action is surprisingly...ingenious, really. It just needs my touch."
"What do you plan to do, demon?"
"You shall see all in good time. By the way, do not address me as 'demon,' it is far too common for a demon such as I."
"You do not possess a proper name."
"Oh, but I do, though you will not be the first to learn it. Tell me, Sesshomaru, what do you smell in the air?"
The taiyoukai took in a whiff of air, "...Sango...and InuYasha's wench, Kagome as well."
"Ah, yes," said the youkai with a hiss, "It is time that all of us are formally introduced. Oh no," he continued threateningly, "I do hope I do not get too carried away."
"You do, and I swear to kami that I will-"
"-So you're going to try to kill me. I see," he said sarcastically. "How do you plan on doing that? You cannot kill something that lives inside of you, Sesshomaru. But, there is something you can do to...delay me, at the very least."
"How do you propose I do that?" Sesshomaru smirked, "Let me guess, you want my body to be in your complete control?"
"Oh no," replied the youkai, "I wish to start anew. I WANT A BODY OF MY OWN!"
"How-"
"-There is a book in the library that has the whole ritual in vivid detail."
"Damn, if I would've known that my eyes changing to red would have let him out..." Sesshomaru murmured.
"Spare me the ignorance. You know you would have done it again in an instant. It is utterly pathetic, your feelings towards that stupid bitch."
That was the only time that Sesshomaru wished he could wring his own neck. "You dare to say that?" The demon let out a laugh that sounded like a growl. Sesshomaru continued, "I shall truly enjoy killing you, slowly and painfully. Very well, you shall have your body."
"Wonderful."
Without a word of warning, a sound equivalent to a sonic boom began ringing in Sesshomaru's head. It kept on getting louder and louder. Sesshomaru winced at the pain in his sensitive ears.
"Have a nice fall," the demon warned. He let go of the power he used to keep Sesshomaru stationary in the air. The taiyoukai, powerful as he was, still did not have complete control of his body. He plummeted down to the earth, 100 feet below. If he were not a youkai, he would have surely perished. He fell with a great deal of force. Upon impact, Sesshomaru lost consciousness and his mind drew a temporary blank. In its place, the evil demon's mind resided. The body immediately mended itself in a matter of seconds.
"That was simple enough. The fool went to so much trouble to become powerful physically that his mind was neglected. He really should have thought of that. Too late now." The wind blew softly against the imposter's cheek, mingled with the scent of two human girls. His crimson eyes narrowed, "Ah yes, back to business. Those ningen girls are in for a great rude awakening, indeed."
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
"Sango, I can't believe Sesshomaru just gave up like that! It's got to be a fluke."
"Hai, Kagome-chan, that is my belief as well." They had been in the hot springs for a half hour.
"But who knows? Maybe Sesshomaru just wants you to be happy. But..." Kagome began skeptically.
"...If he is up to something, which I'm almost certain he is, I must admit, I really don't know how to counteract it." Sango dipped her head into the water with frustration.
Kagome just smiled, "Whatever happens, Sango, we're all here to help, even InuYasha." She blushed slightly, "I know he's a bit rough around the edges, but all in all, he really isn't that bad. Really he's...sort of sweet."
Sango grinned at the sight of Kagome's blush, "You are going to be very happy, Kagome, that much is sure."
"Oh, Sango, this is going to be so great- we'll get married, and soon we'll all start to have children, and they'll grow up to be life long friends, just like all of us."
Sango nodded, "Hai, I wouldn't have it any other way."
"But," began Kagome, "I do think we should get out now, after all, we don't want to be shriveled up."
Sango emitted a chuckle, "No, I suppose not." Kagome began to get out first-
"Good evening." (A/N: that can't be good!)
Kagome shrieked and jumped back into the hot springs, "Sesshomaru, you jerk, I wish I could 'sit' you!"
"Sesshomaru I am not."
The girls saw a pair of crimson eyes glowing in the darkness. He stepped out of the shadows.
Sango gasped softly, "You..."
The demon smirked, "Everyone seems to say that. Sesshomaru himself did, right before I took control of his body."
Kagome looked on with wide eyes, "You took control of-" She felt faint.
He turned his eyes on Kagome, "I must say, Kagome, I am quite impressed."
Kagome flushed with embarrassment, "Why are you here? And, why are you peeping in on us!" 'I can't believe he saw me naked,' she thought.
"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO SESSHOMARU, DEMON?" Sango yelled.
"Silence, wenches, do not question me."
Kagome knew the demon was evil, but there was something about him. His voice was different than Sesshomaru's, and it chilled her to the bone. There was something about those crimson eyes that made her feel weak. She gulped. 'He's terribly cold, though,' she thought. She found herself absentmindedly staring into his eyes...
"...There is one thing that I wish to verify, demon," Sango said.
'Huh? Sango was talking? About what? Oh no! don't tell me I'm spacing out!'
"What might that be, huntress?"
"Who exactly are you?"
(a/n: here comes your favorite quote, LadyRedEyes) The demon's eyes narrowed. He chuckled softly, 'Just the question I hoped they would ask.' He stood before them, towering over them, "Who am I? I am the man slayer, I am the dark prince of the Western Lands, I am BATTOUSI."
Both girls recoiled slightly, for the name Battousi means 'man slayer.' 'I bet he's exactly what he says, too,' Kagome thought fearfully.
"You did something I told you not to do, huntress. You questioned me when I specifically told you to stop. You deserve to be punished." In one swift movement, Battousi grabbed hold of Sango by the neck, and sunk his teeth into it, tasting a warm gush of her blood.
'NO!' Sango thought desperately, 'HE MARKED ME!'
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
UH-OH! I guess Sango got herself into another PICKLE-hehe. PLEASE, I BEG YOU, REVIEW, I WANT TO SEE HOW YOU ALL LIKE THE CHAPTER!

Preview of chapter 16:
"NO!" Kagome sobbed, shaking in unsuppressed rage, "IT'S GONE!"
InuYasha put his arms around the miko, "I'm sorry, Kagome."
"Don't be, InuYasha, it's not your fault-IT'S HERS!" she roared, pointing at the culprit.
