Chapter 9 - Rise of The Demon pup
Little Sesshomaru walked around the forest, he was not afraid but he was saddened by how his mother had treated him. Then he heard soft meows from his fur tail, he looked down and smiled, the kittens looked like they were trying to cheer him up.
"Demons...do all demons need to kill?" Sesshomaru questioned. He watched the adorable kittens played in his fur tail. "How could I harm such innocence..." Sesshomaru played around the quiet forest, but his peaceful momment did not last. A human monk spotted him, along with his apprentice.
"Master, That demon doesnt look harmful, why not just leave it alone?" The Apprentice studied Sesshomaru who was playing with the animals around him.
"Don't be deceived, demons are demons and they shall be eliminated." The monk told his apprentice as he approached Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru looked up at him, the monk took out his staff and pointed it towards Sesshomaru, The little pup backed away, he knew very well what the monk was going to do, but he doesnt want to kill. Sesshomaru turned around wanted to run but the monk immobilized him.
"Begone Demon!" The monk threw some Amulet scrolls at Sesshomaru and waved his staff. His apprentice took out some jade beads and started chanting.
Sesshomaru felt the purification ritual entering his body, pain shot through every part of his body. Sesshomaru screamed, the next thing he saw was bright lights and then blood splattered around. When the lights faded and the dust settled. Sesshomaru stared down at the dead monk, blood oozing out from him, he looked at the apprentice who gaped at him in fear. Sesshomaru then looked down at his hand, his claws, his furtail, his whole body was covered in the monk's blood. His eyes had turned red, he looked over at the appretice again with his face expression emotionless. The blood scent from the apprentice enticed him, with one quick dashed, he was standing infront of the apprentice. Little Sesshomaru trust his claws into the human's chest.
"That's my boy." A voice said. Sesshomaru turned around and was face to face with his mother. His eyes slowly turned back to normal, he looked around at the dead bodies then his eyes caught the dead bodies of the kittens. Sesshomaru was horrified then he looked down at his bloody claws.
"Come on lets go home..."Kiyoshimaru told Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru carried the kitten's dead body and followed his mother back to the castle.
The whole night, Sesshomaru sat infront of where he had buried the kittens. His mind thinking back, how he had killed and how he actually enjoyed it. He tooked a sniff at his hand, the scent of the bloods are still there.
"More...." Sesshomaru whispered to himself "I need more...."
Sesshomaru walked around the castle, he spotted some servants fooling around. He dashed towards them, eventhough he looked small, the servants were still afraid of him.
"Sesshomaru-sama!" One of the servant called out, startled. The servants quickly apologize for fooling around
Little Sesshomaru looked up at them, his face emotionless. Raising his hand, he swung it, a green whip formed from his claws and sliced the servants infront of him. the bloods splattered on his face, as he killed, he felt stronger. He wanted the power, he wanted to be stronger now. A small smirked form on the pup's face.
"Oh no...I gotta report this to Oyakata-sama..." Myoga said to himself as he hid in the nearby bushes watching Sesshomaru.
"Sesshomaru!" Inu no Taisho stomped into Sesshomaru's room, but found the pup wasnt in there. He sniffed around and was shocked. Quickly he dashed to the scent.
Sesshomaru was fighting with guards in the castle, more like a death battle and Sesshomaru's the one killing.
"Weak...WEAK!" Sesshomaru shouted as he clawed a guard to death.
"Sesshomaru!" Inu no Taisho grabbed his son's hand that was about to kill another guard. "Enough! What have gotten into you?"
"Isn't this how you want me?" Sesshomaru turned to face his father. "When you took me out to the hunt, didnt you want me to kill?"
Inu no Taisho looked at his pup, having a hard time trying to read his son's expression.
"Well, in a way, but killing your own people?" Inu no Taisho bent down to Sesshomaru's level. Sesshomaru avoided his father's eye, the pup's expression is a mixed of sadness, confusion and desires at the same time.
"I...I..." Sesshomaru stuttered "But...mother said...demons kill..."
"We do, but we dont kill everything." Inu no Taisho explained. "If others dont harm us, you dont need to kill them, that's how we maintain peace in the land. We're demons but you don't want a life thats all about killing now do you?"
Sesshomaru looked into his father's eyes, he doesnt know how to answer. He was so confused.
"Come one my little one, that's enough for today." Inu no Taisho carried Sesshomaru back to his room.
The Present day adult Sesshomaru watched the whole scene, he remembered those days clearly. But something was not right, why was he seeing these events, was it because of his guilt for hurting Inuyasha? He followed his past self back to his room and his eyes widened. The room was dark lighted up by a few candles and his nose caught a familiar stenched that was no suppose to be here, as he stepped in deeper into the room, he could smell blood. The candle lights flickered eeriely as Sesshomaru walked into the room deeper. He stopped suddenly, eventhough he tried to maintain his emotionless expression but he was shocked at the scene infront of him.
