Chapter 16: Crystal Heart

"NO!"

Sesshomaru grabbed the Tetsaiga away from Hanon, he dropped the sword as it burned his hand. He fell to his knees in pain, as he stared at the giant burn mark on his right hand. When the pain had vanished he turned his attention to Hanon, who had also fell to her knees in pain. She was completley soaked, her eyes were red from her constant crying and her hair was one big mess. Sesshomaru knew it wasn't just Inuyasha's sudden death that she cried for, but all the other things that happened in her life. Hanon was like a daughter to him, he raised her, taught her to fight and defend herself, and she too taught him to trust others, she taught him a bit of kindness.

"Hanon" he began, "please... don't cry anymore" he said, he watched as Hanon stared at him with sadness.

"Sesshomaru he's dead! How can i not cry! How can you ask me to be strong when the one person who healed my heart is dead!" she yelled, tears pouring out of her eyes. Sesshomaru was almost hurt by her response, what was he to her? After all he did raise her to be who she is now, not that she was a little girl when he found her, but because she has changed over the years. When ever he looked at her, he saw happiness, she had always wore a smile when she was around him. Now looking at her, all he sees is a sad, lonely, depressed little girl. He realized that she had never been happy from the start, the smile she wore was mearly an act. He was blinded by love for her to not realize how sad she truly was. Overwhelmed by sadness he moved over to Hanon and held her close to him. Hanon didn't pull from him, instead she sobbed in his arms. He understood the pain she was feeling, she was crying not only for Inuyasha, but for her friends that passed away, her mother, her sad life, all the terrible things her father did to her. Her heart had been like a diamond, completely unbreakable for so many years, and after the death of someone she knew she would never want to lose, just like that it broke. Peice by painful peice, tearing her apart from the inside. He held her tighter, holding the little girl he knew. The little girl he thought he knew so well. Hanon lifted her head up to look Sesshomaru in the eyes,

"Sesshomaru... please... bring him... back... with Tensaiga" she pleaded slowly, Sesshomaru's eyes widened in shock. His Tensaiga wasn't pulsing. If that were the case, then Tensaiga would not allow him to bring back Inuyasha. Sadness overwhelmed him, he could care less about not bringing Inuyasha back, but he knew the pain it would bring Hanon. he pulled Hanon closer to him, how could he tell her that he couldn't bring him back.

"Hanon I..." he paused, no, he couldn't tell her. He had to try and bring him back, not for him, but for Hanon. He stood up, Hanon still close to his side. He drew forth his might Tensaiga, he waited a few moments, then raised his sword. H was about to swing his sword when a voice echoed through the night.

"I don't think so!" yelled the voice and landed in front of Sesshomaru, seperating them from Inuyasha. It was Sakura,

"You, you wreak of Inuyasha's blood" said Sesshomaru, he drew back his Tensaiga, and brought out his Tokijin.

"You must be Sesshomaru, such a terribly long name, mind if i call you Sessy?" she asked, her voice was kind of kiddish. Sesshomaru didn't answer, this women wreaked of Naraku. Sesshomaru gave the woman a long hard look, her hair was long and black, her kimono was covered in Inuyasha's blood, and she carried no weapon.

"Just who are you?" he asked, preparing for any kind of attack. The woman began laughing, acting like a foolish child.

"I am Sakura, ruler of the five elements, and Inuyasha's destroyer" she laughed, pulling a knife from her kimono, covered in dry blood. A soft growl escaped Sesshomaru's lips, anger taking control over his body, Inuyasha's death not only upset him, but it also made hanon unhappy. Seeing Hanon the way she was, was just unbearable for him. He lifted his sword,

"What business do you share with Naraku?" he asked,

"My, my, you ask alot of questions" she said, playing with him as if he were some kind of fluffy toy. Sesshomaru gripped tighten on his Tokijin as he fought the erge to strike her down, she was becoming a great anousence.

"Naraku created me from his essence, just as he did with Kagura, Kanna, and Hakudoshi" she began, "He sent me to kill Inuyasha, and i did, now all there is left to kill is you and that half-witted girl Hanon" she laughed, Sesshomaru frowned. He would have to fight her. Inuyasha must have been in pain, other wise he wouldn't have died so easily as he did Sesshomaru thought.

"Hmm... killing Inuyasha was so much fun, i bet it will be even more exciting to kill you" she giggled,

"Thats enough, you talk to much!" yelled Sesshomaru,

"Oh Sessy, you sound so cute when your upset" she said, continuing to laugh. Sesshomaru could feel his demonic power swirling through his body, dying to be let loose.

"Do you want to know what my favorite part of killing Inuyasha was?" she asked, her face suddenly getting serious, "when i took my knife and cut slowly, one time after another, hearing his screams" she laughed, her kiddish face returning.

"Shut-up! Stop! Please!" cried Hanon, holding tight onto Inuyasha's cold dead body. Her face covered in blood where Inuyasha had touched her before he passed on.

"Thats enough!" shouted Sesshomaru, he ran towards her, swinging his mighty Tokijin. She dodged him easily, Sesshomaru would't give her time to continue to dodge his attacks so he attacked without thinking. Still she managed to escape, frustration began to comsume him.

"You fight like Inuyasha, my turn" she said, she moved her hands in circlar motions created a ball of fire in her palms. Sesshomaru's eyes widened, what was she? Some kind of socercess? She gave him a flirty smile and threw the ball of fire towards Sesshomaru, it came at him fast, so fast he almost got hit.

"Pity, i thought you would actually put up a better figth then Inuyasha" she said, pouting like a little girl. "No matter, i'll still be able to kill you" she smiled and continued to move her arms and hands in motions that seemed to be more like dances. each time she flinged her hands a different element would attack him, and every time he got hit. Even though he felt great pain, he refused to fall to such a worthless demon that was created from the likes of Naraku.

"Sesshomaru!" shouted Hanon through a loud clash of lighting. Sakura came behind him and attacked him as he wasn't looking, slashing him in the back. Once agian she moved her hands in the same motion, only this time rocks came from beneath the ground, holding Sesshomaru down. He was caught, his arms and legs were held down by heavy rocks, and he could feel his sword slowly slipping from his hand. Dame he thought to himself.

"I knew it, Oh sessy, i have to admit you put up a better fight then Inuyasha, now don't worry this will all be over soon" she said smiling, gripping the blood stained knife. Sesshomaru struggled to get free, never before had this ever happened to him. Sakura used her fingers to trace his face, he suddered at her touch.

"Don't be scared" she whispered into his ear, sliping the knife into his cheek, spilling his blood. He barley felt the knife,

"Is that all you capable of doing? I couldn't possible die from a mear knife wound" he said,

"This is not just a knife, my knife lets out a poison, when i cut you the posion sinked in, the posion will reduce your demonic powers, making you vanerable to my knife" she laughed, Already Sesshomaru could feel his body weaken. She was right, the posion was giving him the strengh of a mortal,meaning the more she cut him, the bigger the chance of him dying. Sakura's laugh got louder as she slashed at him agian with her knife, cutting through his amor and kimono. Blood covered his chest, pain ceasing through him, again and again she slashed at him. She dug deep into his chest, drawing more blood. she moved her face towards his,

"Your going to die here, just like your brother" she whispered, Sesshomaru let out a furious growl, she laughed. she moved her knife to her face, slowly she began to lick the knife. Sesshomaru stared in digust,

"Your blood is not like any other, you are a full demon," she smiled "and a handsome one at that, too bad i have to kill you, other wise i would have kept you all to myself" she said,

"woman like you don't intrest me, love is a waste of time, all it ever does is slow you down and hurt you, which is why i have no such thing" he said, Sakura frowned

"Is that so, then this girl means nothing to you?" she asked as Kagura emarged from a bush carring Rin.

"Lord Sesshomaru!" she cried,

"Tell me, lord Sesshomaru" she said mocking Rin "does she mean anything to you?" Sesshomaru stared in horror, her small body was covered in water, she had bruses all over her face. The same bruses she had gotten from her old village so long ago,

"Let her go!" he demanded, Sakura's face was no longer kiddish, she looked more like an adult. She took Rin from Kagura and held her knife to her.

"Rin!" cried Hanon, trying to break loosed from Hakudoshi's grip, who had suddenly appearred out of nowhere.

"Tell me Sesshomaru! Does this little girl mean somthing to you!"
