DN Angel crossover Inuyasha

Chpt17: Demon Ball part 2

Kagome POV

Scanning the crowd, I could not find Dark, I could sense his presence. He is either hiding somewhere or not he is just plainly being buried somewhere in the crowd. Just when Sesshy and I were about to step down from the platform, Kamare of the Southern land stepped up to asked for permission from Sesshy to make a little speech of sort.

Sesshy gave him the permission and lead the both of us down. Many of them youkai there look at Kamare with curiosity wandering what he was about to announce. While on the other hand, there was also the problem of the female youkai all looking at Sesshy with both lust and greed in their eyes. And as for the guys, they are behaving somewhat like those girls. It is irritating, they think of us as some kind of object ready to be won over.

"Lord and ladies of all lands, I have a small suggestion to make. Since Lord Sesshoumaru and Lady Kagome are both still not mated, why not find them one tonight. Apart from that, tonight is the perfect opportunity too, it being one of the longest night that would extend for about twice the time as a usual night would. And to all, you know this is a special night. So what do you say to this little proposal of finding them a mate?" Kamare stated while studying the features of everyone.

I could feel the aura of irritation and anger starting to rise in Sesshy, so is mine. Yet thinking about it for a while, my anger start to decrease and turn to amusement. It would proof to be interesting to see what other little tricks Kamare has up his sleeves. Sesshy was also maintaining his anger and soon his mood too turn to that of amusement.

The whispers among the lord and ladies were heard as they all agree to this little proposal that Kamare has came up with. When they gave their answers of agreement, they were all too happy to get to mate to either of us. Much as it is irritating, Kamare then further explain how it is going to be choosing the mate for the both of us.

Like usual they have their tournaments of fight among the girls and the guys. When he mentioned that only the last person still within the ring will win, the honor of mating us, I stepped in.

"Much as this is amusing, the five people chosen for the tournaments will have to defeat us first before even thinking of the mating part." Everyone went silent then for the next few minutes, absorbing what I just said.

Kamare was the first to say that he agree to these conditions. While on the other hand most of the others were protesting against this. Sesshoumaru smirked at me and I returned it.

"Since we all agree to this, I guess we have no choice too if you want to mate to either of them. This will take place later after the dinner." Kamare stated as he went back towards his mate.

The music struck up as each of the youkai there went in search of a dance partner. Most of the male and female population surrounded both Sesshy and I within minutes as they try to ask for a dance. Many were trying to get on our good books so that some of them could escape from fighting us.

Sesshy gave his famous death glare to anyone who stood in his way and remained silent throughout not bothering to hear any of those female youkai hungry to mate with him. I on the other hand was already getting annoyed by the male youkai population flocking towards me every single time. Hearing the familiar sound of Dark asking me whether I would dance with him, I accepted it and did not show that I was relieve or any emotions at all.

Once away the now glaring crowd of male youkai, "You have a lot of admirers Princess," he murmured as he took the lead in the dance.

"So what, it is not like they are going to get their wish. It would be pointless to join in this little game anyway." I stated as he dances me to the more deserted part of the room.

"Actually it feels rather nice being in his arms…What am I thinking!" I silently thought to myself, making sure that I blocked it out so that no one but I would be able to hear that comment.

"…who knows, perhaps I would join in this game if it means some time of fun," was what I caught him saying when I came out of my thoughts.

"You know, you would not stand a chance out there with those demons, and this is far more dangerous than the type of fights you are thinking of." I replied him as the music came to a complete halt.

When I was about to walk away towards another area of the ballroom, I found myself once again the centre of attraction and I could say the same to both Sesshy and Dark. Even though Dark does not have much of a power, land or well-known, he was now surrounded by demons who like him for his looks. Accepting the dance offered by a random demon, I allowed him to lead me through the dance as I ignore him throughout only nodding my head at the appropriate timing.

From one dance partner to another, and I ignored all of them. Only one of them managed to take note that my mind was away. "Lady Kagome, are you alright?" he asked a hint of concern in his voice.

"Yes I am fine. And you are…"

"Lord Kazuo of the Eastern land, would you rather stop all this dancing for now and have a break from the dancing that most of the others have put you through?" nodding my head in his reply, he lead me towards the balcony area overlooking Sesshy's vast land.

Seeing him leaving me for a while, I could feel the presence of my animals that soon start to gather near me on the balcony rail. Each in their smaller forms, as they sat in front of me on the rail, I went pet them. When they suddenly went away, I took note that Kazuo is back and with refreshments in his hands.

Thanking him, I took the offered drink from him while returning to view the land. I could feel him looking at me sideways as he gave the impression of looking out towards the land too. He is a nice person, and he is not like the rest of those males inside there. There was a silent barrier between the two of us that neither of us showed any emotions to nor says anything. It was rather uncomfortable, however if he was about to speak to me, it was already too late as the dinner gong rang out loudly.

Seeing that he extended his arm towards me in a bow, I accepted it as he led us to the dinning area. Seated at the right side of the table next to Sesshy, many of the women were eyeing and glaring at me. Not bothering with them, dinner was served. A full course dinner, befitting of the occasion, even though it was going to be a rather dreading type of occasion for both Sesshy and I. Dinner was served and along with it came those glares and dark auras of jealousy and lust from both the female and male parties. Seated at somewhere in the middle of the long table, is Dark surrounded by the female demons who had taken a fancy towards him when the ball started.

Sometimes during the interval of breaks during the meal, some of the female demons would walked up towards Sesshy and tried to use their body assets in gaining Sesshy's attention and they were a big fat failure at it. And for the male demon population who wants to be my mate, were as usual trying to kiss up to either Sesshy or I. Much as it was amusing and annoying at the same time, at least they did not do any other things stupid enough like certain female demons.

When dinner was finally over and done with, we all had time to ourselves, going to the various places allowed to the guests to do as they please or simply just to indulge themselves before their entertainment and fun for the evening truly begins. Making my way up to my own room, I could hear Sesshy also did the same. Waiting for him at the stairs leading up to our private wings, we walked up together in a comfortable silence. Just enough time, we both went into our separate rooms to get ourselves ready for the 'battle' ahead. Though it might really turn out to be more that what Lord Kamare had asked for, but nonetheless, it would at least get the thoughts of mating to some demon for either the both of us out of his mind and the others who are considering it.

Now resting myself on the incline sofa like bed, I watched my surroundings in the dim light of blue glowing softly as though in a cave, reflected by some unknown light of sort onto the 'snow'. I could sense my animals just beyond the doors leading to my balcony. It is comforting to be away from those demons. It is such a miracle that neither of them all could smell the lust and arousals of many demons both male and female alike. It is either they are trying to ignore the fact of that smell being in the whole room, or it is that they are too engrossed in watching their 'prize'.

Thinking that it was about time to go down to the ballroom again, she heard a tapping sound on the door leading towards her balcony, knowing that it did not belong to any of my animals, I went out to it and open the door. The person standing in front of me is none other than Dark himself.

"Well Princess, guess it is about time for this little party to kick start with a real eye opener show, though wanted to wish you the best of luck." He said as he placed a gentle yet firm kiss on my lips, rendering me speechless and not being able to say anything.

When he finally broke apart from the kiss in a rather reluctant manner, I saw him gave me a smirk, yet having his sincere smile mixed into it as he took flight to go back to the ballroom. Placing my fingers lightly on where my lips was kissed by Dark not long, I swiftly came to my senses as the sound of someone knocking on my door came to my ears. Using my miko abilities, I purified the scents off me, leaving only my own personal scent.

Seeing that it was just Sesshy, I followed him out to the ballroom. I know that he knew Dark has been to my room. Sometimes things are hard to keep away from Sesshy whether or not I like it. When upon arriving in the room once more, the gong rang out loudly, just in time too. Everyone was to proceed to one of those courts for battles and entertainments to be held at.

Just as usual, Kamare once again took up the position of being the host of this game. The female and male demons, who want to be mated to either of us both, were separated. And as usual, the bunch of female demons who wants Sesshy as mate were high and in fact I think about 95 of them were out here on the court while about the same percentage of male demons were there in the court, hoping to win either of us. It is pure stupidity, but at least we can vent our anger on them even though it is rather a waste to do so.

And for the other 5 of the female population, they were either mated or they were sitting themselves comfortably around Dark and some other male demons of low status. And for the other remaining percentage of the male demon population, who has decided not to take part, were because they either mated or they did not want to suffer much from me seeing that they have seen me battle before.

The participants of this little game were going to fight among themselves first. Death in this game is a risk if they are going to join, and everyone knows that. The battle started off with them battling against one another. That is till about like 20 of them were left in this battle. I really do not care as to how many am I fighting against with, but I am dead sure that none of them are going to win me like some little toy. It is just so degrading especially to a demon lord such as Sesshy and I. Yet, the fun of watching them battle is interesting enough.

The fight started and yes the female side, they resorted to using cheap and dirty tricks to get their opponent eliminated, deeply injured or till they surrendered. It was amusing as they sort of remind me the female humans and their cat fights, using like "Look, it's…" the other is the pulling of hair and shouting insults to one another as they fight it out. It is really amusing at one point of time, yet it was low down and disgusting enough to make me want to kill them off in a blow.

And for the male side of the population, they were all roughing it out, fighting one another ruthlessly and not bothering who it was that got in their way of being the remaining 20 people fighting over for me. It sort of shock me when I saw Lord Kazuo there fighting too. He would most definitely make it to be the top 20 finalist, and not to mention that his fighting techniques seemed held back, not entirely using much of his skills in fighting them. However if I were him, I would also not waste any of my skills on the likes of the others who are of a lower status demon than I.

The fight finally came to an end, leaving only 20 female and male demons from each side. Lord Kamare, he then took over to addressing everyone once more, inviting both Sesshy and I to come down to the court there to kick start the fight, and see who would end up being the victor of this little game he called exciting. And much to my 'excitement', it would only be too soon that he would do something more foolish than this to get the both of us mated in the near future.

Following Sesshy, he stood facing the female lot, of the top 20 will I did the same, facing the males. They are a sight of red smeared with red on either their clothes or on their face and body. Both Sesshy and I were rather far apart so as not to collide into one another's group when in this little fiasco. When the sound of the gong ringing was heard, the demons both started to attack us. Dodging one attack after the other, I could see that Sesshy was already irritated with the female lot in such short timing, and just hit those who got in his way unconscious. Seeing that he was taking them out much more quickly instead of toying with them, I too did the same, knocking most of those who got near me unconscious before standing there waiting for the others to come attack me.

Noticing that Kazuo was one of those few who would stay back and watch me fight rather then taking the advantage of me being attacked by others and cut in the injured me somehow, they waited patiently and knowing them, are observing my every movements and the way I fight.

Now the only person left for me to take care of is Lord Kazuo of the Eastern land, since he already took out the other minor demon lord before I even had the chance to do so. Giving a side way glance at Sesshy, I saw him there defeating the last of his female opponent, and is already starting to walk back to his original seat. The little fight for him was over and now he sat there watching me, as I was about to engage in the fight with Kazuo. Lucky for her, Kazuo was not one of those low down demons that would attack their opponent when not paying much attention to. Even if he did attack me, I would be ready to dodge his attacks.

Once more, focusing me thoughts to the little fight that I am going to be engaged with Kazuo and true enough he was the first to attack me. Dodging it as his blade swung near my face, missing it by a few inches, the blade suddenly change in direction, and moved the same way as I did. Holding my hand up to block his blades' attack, my hand glow a misty blue purple white, as my weapon appeared in my hand blocking his attack. Most of the time throughout the battle with the other demons, I just knock them unconscious with a swing of my hand at the back of their neck hard enough for them to slip into unconsciousness. However, judging by the way Kazuo fought just now, it would require more than the amount of strength and concentration she put into fight this particular opponent.

The fight continued, as we both dodge and attacked one another, yet not fully utilizing our full potential. When we were both about as exhausted as the other is, I started to use my miko abilities to help me in this fight, while he used his demon abilities. Kazuo to put it fair, is a good opponent apart from Sesshy, and if I am not careful, I might end up being his mate. The thought of it was encouraging enough for me to pull myself together and start to focus onto the fight once more. Just when the both of us were about to spent the last drop of our energy spiritually and mentally, I gather all that I had, focusing them into a ball of pure spiritual energy, and thrown it in the direction of Kazuo, most of the time she did not want to use this ability, as it would usually cause her to be weak for a short period of time. Since it is one of her most vulnerable time, she did not really like the notion of being attacked by surprising characters.

No matter, it now seemed to be the right choice that I made, as the dust of clouds cleared from the vision of everyone, Kazuo stood there looking worn and weary, yet at the same time defeated. With the last of his strength, he made a bow of defeat towards me before collapsing onto the ground. When I was about to go check on his condition, I felt lighter when I walked, unknown to me that I was swaying rather drastically, then my vision started to blur, the noises around me all seemed to be like a buzzing sound. Holding a hand onto my forehead to calm myself down, my face remained stoic. Just when my vision turned pitch black and the buzzing sound around me seemed to shut off totally, I could hear to sound of someone asking if I was alright. Even then, my sensitive nose seemed to be useless, as I could not seem to smell anything. Everything now became a faded memory to me. Just when I slipped into the darkness fully, I could feel someone brushing some of my hair away.

My face, softened without myself knowing, showing many beauty traits that I had usually kept hidden beneath a mask of indifference. Even Dark who was looking at me, felt a wave hitting him hard in his head, at the sight of me looking so vulnerable and fragile, like a fragile piece of glass bell, perfectly shaped to give off heavenly sound, yet could break with only a tiny hint of sound of ugliness.
