SPOILER ALERT! MAJOR SPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERT!
sorcerousfang: there's your warning. some of the things mentioned in here actually do, and have, happened. don't say I didn't warn you.
sesshomaru: if you humiliate me...
sorcerousfang: yep, I know. You come after me, I blast a hole through your abdomen.
sesshomaru: ...grrr.
sorceress-of-faith: oh, she got you.
Inuyasha pumped a clenched fist into the air.
"Naraku! Today is the day we defeat you!"
Everyone stood behind him with determination written on their faces. They all nodded in agreement. They were tired of him, and today would be the day he disappeared forever from the earth.
Sesshomaru drew his new(ish) sword from its sheath and flexed the muscle of his left hand. The movement was still foreign, and the blood flowing through the returned limb continuously felt awkward, but it was his limb. He was determined to get used to the feel of muscle and flesh at his side once more.
"Aren't you forgetting someone?"
They all turned quickly to meet the owner of the voice. What meet their eyes was a beautiful and seemingly young woman, clad in purple and white with a large pelt over her back. If it hadn't been for the markings and exceeding aura, she might have been human.
Sesshomaru took a step forward.
"Mother."
Inuyasha, not to mention everyone else, was in shock.
"M-mother?"
"That's his mom?"
"Such a beauty- ow."
Sango, withholding her own remark, hit him in the head with her hiraikotsu.
"I thank you for the compliment, Monk, although considering I am a demon, I'm not sure how to react otherwise."
He was dragged back by Sango, who flared at him. Naraku might not be the only one who died that night.
"You must be Inuyasha: your scent is somewhat alike. Come."
Inuyasha glanced between her and Sesshomaru. If they were anything alike…
He took a cautious step forward…
And she took his ears.
"Oh, I was right; they are so soft! Almost like Sesshomaru's when he was a whelp, all transformed and such! Cute!"
Sesshomaru hesitated. "M-mother!"
"Oh, come on, Sesshomaru, that can't embarrass you that much. It was centuries ago."
"Hey, paws of the ears!"
Inuyasha swatted her away, annoyed by the sudden intrusion. Sesshomaru's mother or not; she had no right.
"Well, she's defiantly not as scary as Sesshomaru," Shippo commented.
"Of course not. I don't have that kind of demeanor. Arrogant, maybe, but cold? No. Besides, Sesshomaru's a softie on the inside, isn't that right?"
"What are you saying?"
"Well you certainly glared like a homicidal maniac when I asked if you intended to eat Rin, and you should have seen your face when you found out you couldn't save her again. Oh and you just melted right down when I brought her back for you. Looked so much like your father then."
The news took everyone by surprise.
Except it wasn't as surprising as Sesshomaru, blushing and frantically trying to cover it up with a glare, which resulted in him looking…well…cute.
"I-I-I did no such thing."
"Oh, except the little demon could vouch for me."
"I am called Jaken."
"Ummm, excuse me, but aren't we supposed to be fighting to the death now?"
Naraku, suddenly wanting the fight to get underway, gawked when he saw what distracted them.
"That's Sesshomaru's mom? Wow. Now I see why he looks so much like a girl."
Sesshomaru twitched.
"A girl…?"
"Oh no."
"Ummm… Lord Sesshomaru?"
The dog's aura grew and his eyes bled red as he began to transform.
"5…4…3…2…1"
"A GIRL?"
Everyone jumped back at least a foot as he growled. Naraku screamed, quite like a woman everyone noted, and Sesshomaru's mother sighed.
"56. He won't need any help here, trust me."
"What do you mean 56?"
"I mean 56 people dead for calling him that."
Everyone stiffened. Note to selves; never tell Sesshomaru the truth.
Jaken cleared his throat.
"You might want to add another hundred to that."
sorcerousfang: there you have it -holds sesshomaru off with a sheild-
sesshomaru: I'm going to rip down this shield and then tear you to shreads!"
sorceress-of-faith: man you got him mad.
sorcerousfang: of course. It's my job.
sesshomaru: I will kill you!
sorcerousfang: -smirks- have fun with that.
