The couple ran through the woods, past the village where they were given weird faces, and past the front door of Sango's house. The house was empty and for some reason Sango found it eerie even with the sun shining brightly throughout the house. They stopped at the stairway.
"I just have to get a few things. Wait down here and I'll be right back." Sango said before she hurried up the stairs. Inuyasha nodded and watched her run up the stairs. How he couldn't wait to make her his wife. He sat down on the ground, his legs crossed Indian style as he placed his hands inside his sleeves.
A few minutes later Sango came down holding a small wooden chest with flower decorations. Inuyasha stood up and eyed the chest.
"What's in it?" He asked.
"A few things my mother gave me.."
"Oh.." Inuyasha pulled out a small case shaped like a scallop shell. He handed it to Sango. She opened it to find red lipstick. "It was my mother's. She..died a long time ago." Sango stared at the shell.
"I'm sorry to hear that.."
"It's alright. But come on, we better get going." He grabbed her hand and turned toward the door, only to have a look of shock on his face. Standing at the door with a sword in hand was Sesshomaru.
"Hello..Little brother." Sesshomaru said with a smirk on his face.
"Sesshomaru! How'd you find this house?" Inuyasha scowled.
"It's not too hard to find your scent. I see you've released my fiancee…How kind of you. But now I want her back."
"Stop with the small talk Sesshomaru, why are you trying so hard to hide Sango. What we do is none of your concern!"
"Really? Have you even stopped to think about our father's business? If word gets out that you've married..a peasant..then we'd be outcast. Surely you wouldn't want your family to be outcasts?"
"You know Sesshomaru, you're so hooked on our dad's business, but why would anyone give a damn about our personal lives?"
"You talk too much. Let's dance." Sesshomaru charged at Inuyasha, thrusting his sword at Inuyasha's chest. Inuyasha jumped out of the way, barely. His haori being torn, so close to cutting his own flesh. Sango watched in horror as she watched the two brothers fight. Without thought she quickly ran upstairs.
Sesshomaru smirked as he watched Inuyasha dodge his attacks. He kept dodging slower and slower, getting more and more wounds on his body.
"INUYASHA!" He glanced up at the top of the stairs. He saw a sword flying his way. He quickly grabbed it and unsheathed it. Along the blade, the word 'Tetsusaiga' was inscribed.
"Now this fight will be much more interesting." Sesshomaru said as he lunged at Inuyasha. Inuyasha easily blocked the attack. It may have been his first time holding a sword but Inuyasha knew he was gifted at wielding the sword. The sounds of swords clashing filled the air, echoing off of the walls. Sango was desperate to stop the fight but she knew better than to get between two swords..
After 20 minutes of fighting, Sesshomaru had managed to knock Inuyasha's sword out of his hands. Inuyasha was in trouble. Sesshomaru took another slice towards Inuyasha. He fell down on his butt as he looked up at Sesshomaru. "Prepare to die." Sesshomaru said as he lunged his sword at Inuyasha's chest. Inuyasha squeezed his eyes shut.
There was a faint sound of flesh tearing and blooding splattering on the wooden floors followed by a soft thud sound. Inuyasha opened his eyes to find that Sango had sliced Sesshomaru's arm off. His sword fell out of his hand. He could barely move, all he could do was watch Sango kneel besides Inuyasha as she examined his wounds.
"Inuyasha! Are you alright?" Sango asked, a bit of sadness hinted in her voice.
"I'm fine Sango. Just give me the sword so I can finish Sesshomaru off." Inuyasha said. He struggled to stand up. When he finally did stand up, he noticed Sesshomaru was gone. Instead, there laid a strange man on the floor passed out. He had black hair and he was wearing a purplish outfit consisting of a robe and pants. Sango noticed his arm was cut off, right where she had cut off Sesshomaru's arm. Now everything was making sense.
"We should probably go to the mayor about this.." Sango suggested.
"And tell them what? Some shape shifter disguised himself as my brother and tried to kill me?" Inuyasha huffed.
"Well what should we do?"
"We should find Sesshomaru. For now, let's tie this guy up…and his arm." As if on cue, Inuyasha and Sango noticed the guy's arm regenerated. Inuyasha looked at Sango and nodded. She dashed up the stairs to look for some rope. A few minutes later they had the guy tied up and thrown over Inuyasha's shoulder.
"We need to find out where Sesshomaru is." Inuyasha said as he stepped out of Sango's house. "Are you going to bring your things?"
"Not right now..we should straighten this situation out. I left a note explaining the arm and..mess."
Inuyasha nodded. "Alright, let's hurry back to my house. My dad might be able to help."
"Wait..what about us getting married?"
"Don't worry, we'll get married. But I think my father should know about this first."
Sango and Inuyasha smiled at each other before they headed off to Inuyasha's house.
