Chapter Thirteen: Shaken
A/N: Edited on 8/30/15
Sesshomaru stood over InuYasha. InuYasha's furious red eyes suddenly changed into something more ominous. A small sneer came across the half-demon's face. Sesshomaru knew he was no longer looking at his brother.
InuYasha's strength nearly doubled as Sesshomaru felt his entire body shoved away. He still landed gracefully on his feet, but he felt a small trickle of blood run down his arm.
"InuYasha stop!" The priestess ran over to InuYasha's rising figure.
"No Kagome! Stay away from mutt! Something is wrong!" The wolf demon shouted. He ran with great speed and snatched the preistess in his arms and moved away from InuYasha. Even the wolf could smell the altered scent that now filled the air.
The monk and the demon exterminator ran over, and the wolf's pack ducked behind the trees. Sesshomaru didn't much care about InuYasha's companions, but InuYasha was no longer himself and Sesshomaru needed to deal with their interference anyway.
Sesshomaru glided over quickly and grabbed the exterminator first who in return swung her weapon at him thinking she had been attacked.
"Sesshomaru what are you doing!?" She yelled. The cat cat on her shoulder suddenly transformed and pulled the exterminator out of his hand. The monk stopped running and turned in their direction.
"Are you okay Sango?" He shouted.
"I'm fine!"
Sesshomaru landed right in front of InuYasha ready for his challenge. He was slightly taken back of how tall InuYasha had become. Sesshomaru did not have to look down at his brother's eyes; he was looking at him at level.
"You're Sesshomaru aren't you? His first son."
Sesshomaru nearly jumped back. That was not InuYasha who was not speaking. Sesshomaru deepened his brow and stepped back and unsheathed his Tokijin. The priestess in the wolf's arms gasped in horror.
"No don't!"
The monk stood next to Sesshomaru and stared at InuYasha.
"Who are you and what have you done to InuYasha?" The monk snarled. He had his staff raised. "I know InuYasha knows his own brother, don't play fool with me demon."
"Whoever you are, we'll fight for InuYasha!" The exterminator snapped from behind InuYasha. She was on her demon cat, her massive weapon ready.
The preistess screamed. "Don't hurt him Miroku and Sango! It's still InuYasha!" The preistess wrenched herself out of the wolf's arms and rushed towards InuYasha, dumbfounded of the danger that stood before her.
Suddenly Sesshomaru felt a presence of a strong poison aimed in his direction. Blocking it with Tokijin, he moved quickly to avoid all of InuYasha's attack. They all looked like his blades of blood attack, yet it came out without the use of his blood.
"Who are you?" Sesshomaru sneered. His brother just smiled.
"Someone your filthy father knew."
Sesshomaru felt blind anger take him. "How dare you insult our father, you disgusting half-demon!" He charged at InuYasha, Tokijin raised. Sesshomaru swung aiming for InuYasha's bare chest, but to his surprise InuYasha's hand just caught the blade.
"Fool, do you think a pathetic half-demon incarnation fang can harm me?"
InuYasha's hand twisted bending Tokijin with just his brute strength. Sesshomaru growled and jerked Tokijin away, but instead the sword came out of his hand and InuYasha threw it behind him. The exterminator ducked just as the blade went flying over her head and embedded itself into a tree branch.
"InuYasha STOP!" The priestess ran and slammed her body into InuYasha's. "Please stop!"
To Sesshomaru's surprise, the priestess leaned up and kissed his brother on the mouth. InuYasha stood there dumbfounded. Suddenly a tight sneer came across his face. The priestess was going to regret that decision.
"InuYasha, Sit Boy!" The priestess fell down next to InuYasha just as his brother's face slammed into the dirt. She got up and looked down, tears coming down from her face. The priestess turned to him.
"Please Sesshomaru, stop." InuYasha stirred and slowly sat up. He made no quick movements meaning whatever was controlling him seemed to have relinquished his body back to InuYasha. "InuYasha?" The priestess asked.
"GET AWAY FROM ME!"
InuYasha ran and jumped into a nearby tree and sat on a sturdy branch near the top and curled into a ball. Sesshomaru turned and looked at Tokijin. Sesshomaru took the hilt and pulled it out; Tokijin was no longer of any use. It was bent nearly in half and made more of a sickle shape which would interfere with its ability to attack with it's demonic power.
The exterminator looked at him, and sighed. "I'm sorry about Tokijin, Sesshomaru." She walked over to where the others stood, under the tree InuYasha had planted himself in.
"InuYasha?" The monk called.
"GO AWAY!"
The monk jumped back. The exterminator walked up and put her hand the monk's shoulder.
"We're trying to help InuYasha." She called up to him.
InuYasha made no reply. The wolf sneered in Sesshomaru's direction. "Weren't you about to kill mutt or something? You were transforming when you two charged at one another."
The wolf's pack member, Ginta and Hakkaku, hid behind Kouga. "Kouga, I would think twice before fighting him." Hakkaku said. They both had been watching the whole fight behind the trees, hiding like cowards. Sesshomaru knew that the wolf had no true power himself. All he had were those Shikon Jewel shards in his legs giving him a boost in speed.
"My affairs are none of your concern wolf." Sesshomaru walked over to were everyone was standing and glared up into the tree.
"InuYasha I'm begging you please come down. I know it's you, you didn't hurt anyone." The priestess begged the half-demon. Small tears fell down her cheeks.
"Get the hell away from me."
Sesshomaru looked up to InuYasha, his red eyes glaring at them from his perch.
InuYasha hissed and turned his back towards them. His back had a large patch on it that looked much darker then most of his skin. The priestess burst into tears and fell into the wolf's armor. Kouga snarled and looked up at InuYasha.
"Mutt what the hell! Your're making Kagome cry!" Kouga looked back at his pack, who shook their heads in fear. The monk moved his beads on his cursed hand and looked down at the ground. The fox demon had dug himself into the exterminator's armor, only his tail was visible sticking out behind her head.
Sesshomaru glared back at InuYasha. "You cannot escape by climbing up a tree half-demon."
"Go away."
It was the only response any of them were getting from InuYasha. The cat demon in her smaller form, jumped on to the closest branch, her red eyes pleading with InuYasha.
Sesshomaru turned to the priestess. "Tell him down here." The priestess looked at him, her hair mattered and wet from all the tears she had shed.
"No, Sesshomaru I will not." The preistedss shook her head. Sesshomaru growled, humans were of the up most annoying creatures. He could just slice the tree down with his claws but it wouldn't solve much. InuYasha would just hop to another tree.
Sesshomaru's eyes fell upon Tessaiga. Tokijin was of no use any more, so he would take Tessaiga when he got the chance. Sesshomaru felt Tensegia shake next to him.
"Silence."
The monk stared at him and then back at InuYasha. "InuYasha there is something I have to tell you. I had a dream a few nights ago and it may be connected to your transformation."
