Chapter 7: Let the battle begin!
Sesshomaru was irritated this man only called him in to get to know him better for the sake of his mother. Bullshit Sesshomaru just sat back in his chair while Ikazuchi talked and talked all about himself. About how he fought against a thousand demons at once, about meeting his mother one faithful night. Apparently he was taking a stroll through the forest and there she was in a clearing looking at the moon. He thought she looked like an angel to him; Sesshomaru tried not to gag; not that he should talk he did just make-out with Rin not to long ago. He zoned out like always replying during appropriate time with "Hms". He instead thought of Rin and how she looked under the moonlight. After awhile Ikazuchi noticed he lost Sesshomaru to his thoughts; 'this bastard isn't even listening to me...hm no matter its almost time.' Ikazuchi thought as Sesshomaru absent-mindedly drinks his tea that Ikazuchi had the maids prepare for them. 'Checkmate' he thought as he himself drinks; Sesshomaru puts his glass down and feels something is wrong.
~Rin's Room~
Tsuki sighs for like the millionth time she hated babysitting duty but she also hated that Rin was growing on her. She might actually like the little brat, then again she was her love rival hm...Tsuki was gonna have to think hard on this problem. Little did she know that behind her a snake like phantom was rising from her shadow from the moonlight. Jaken was nodding off like always next to Tuski a snake-like phantom rising from his shadow as well. Before Tsuki or Jaken saw what happened or sensed them the phantoms coil around Tuski and Jaken covering their mouths to prevent them from screaming for help. Tsuki tried to fight back but the shadows held her arms and legs tight together making it impossible to move. Jaken was tied up as well as tears gushing out of his eyes from fright. Tsuki tried to bite her way out but all she got was nothing. The snakes then slither slowly over to Rin Tuski watch in horror as they coil around Rin carefully trying not to wake her. Tuski tried and tried to get out to help Rin from these things but all she seems to be doing is wearing herself out. Rin is lifted out of bed by the shadow snakes; they slither by Tuski and Jaken who try everything to wake the oblivious Rin up. 'Why does she have to be such a heavy sleeper!?' Tsuki and Jaken both thought angrily towards Rin. 'Where is Lord Sesshomaru?!' they both thought as they watched helplessly as Rin was taken by the snakes.
~Study~
Sesshomaru sensed something wrong but before he could stand the world started to tilt back and forth. Sesshomaru grabbed his head from the sudden headache, "What's the matter pup feeling a bit under the weather?" Ikuzuchi calmly drank his tea as he watched Sesshomaru. "What have you done to This Sesshomaru?" he demanded Ikazuchi smirked. "You know poison is not an easy thing to make for some like you, but ask the right people and there you go." Sesshomaru watched him through red eyes 'What is this bastard after?' Sesshomaru thought as he found it hard to keep his eyes open. "Don't worry 'Lord' Sesshomaru I'll take VERY good care of Rin..." he smirked at Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru growled, "You hurt Rin and I'll rip your fucking throat and intestines out!" Ikzuchi chuckles. "In a few minutes you'll be dead...So this is goodbye forever and don't worry I won't shank her...maybe...probably...hm depends how she looks..."Ikazuchi said smiling watching the great Lord Sesshomaru's eyes fill with anger and blood lust. Then Sesshomaru sees nothing but black as Ikazuchi walks out the back door laughing.
~Few hours later~
Sesshomaru woke to the sound of someone balling very loudly; "MI LORD! PLEASE WAKE UP!" he should have known it was Jaken. He grabs the imp by the throat and squeezes tightly to silence him. Sesshomaru slowly sits up still holding the imp he notices hes in his room instead of the study where he was knocked out. "You were out when I found you..." he looked over at his mother who was sitting on a cushion with Tsuki in a corner with her arms around her legs and her head down. "Mother. Explain now." Sesshomaru looked at his mother still holding Jaken's neck; he was whimpering in his Lord's grasp. "Ikazuchi poisoned you. He dumped me through a letter and he kidnapped that human girl." his mother said in a matter of fact tone as she fanned herself. Sesshomaru lifted Jaken and slightly squeezed; "Jaken explain yourself." Jaken shook from fear. "We were...attackkkkkkk..." he squealed out as Sesshomaru squeezed tighter. "We were attacked by snake-like phantoms I tried to get lose to help Rin but no matter how much I moved I couldn't move...I couldn't save her...I couldn't..." Tsuki said tightening her grip around her legs Sesshomaru smelt blood and knew Tuski had accidentally penetrated her skin with her claws. He released a purple Jaken who gasped for air. "Tsuki come here." Sesshomaru said to her blandly; she jumped slightly but complied she sat next to him her head bowed in shame he could smell the tears she had shed and he could even smell her emotions. Fear, sadness, and shame rolled off her like waves Sesshomaru looked at the young demoness and did something that shocked everyone he placed his hand on her head. "Raise you head Tsuki you tried to save Rin that's all that matters to this Sesshomaru." Tsuki looked at her Lord shocked but he was looking at the door that leads to Rin's room. "Mother I need your help." Sesshomaru stood as he spoke everyone looked at him he the great Sesshomaru was asking for help. "With what son?" She asked behind her fan she smiled knowing what it was but she wanted him to say it. "Ripping that bastard apart for taking MY Rin..." Sesshomaru growled out his demon aura surrounding him his eyes turning red. Jaken and Tsuki backed away from fear his mother stood her own demon aura surrounds her clashing with Sesshomaru's lightning flash when they hit their aura choking Tsuki and Jaken both. 'So this is what happens when they are truly pissed...scary...' Tsuki thought as she watched both dog demons stare at each other their eyes a glowing red from anger. Their markings cracking, the aura lifting and whipping their hair around. "Jaken ready the army we are going to war...Tuski you shall join the ranks..." Sesshomaru ordered Tsuki seemed to start getting excited her own demon started join the other 2 demons aura adding a second lightning clash as her own clashed with Sesshomaru's mother and Sesshomaru's aura's Jaken jumped suddenly fearing for his life when he was surrounded by the 3 strong demons. Tsuki kneeled on one knee she bows smiling, "It will be my honor to help rip those demons apart my Lord." Sesshomaru smiled which scared Jaken even more that he ran out to do his Lord's bidding before he was killed. "Tsuki go get fitted for your armor." Tsuki did as she was told which left Sesshomaru and his mother alone, Sesshomaru walked into Rin's room and walked right into the garden. His mother followed him. He ignored his mother and went right to the tree and knocked to wake the dragons. The tree opened and they came out cooing and looked around for Rin. They looked at Sesshomaru for answers. "Rin has been taken will you join our battle to get her back or are you going to stay in your baby forms...Yin Yang..." Hearing what happened to Rin they huffed up and growled slowly their aura surrounded them. Light surrounds them as they jump into the air and at the next moment the sky darkness blocking the rising sun the earth and sky rumble as 2 full grown dragons drop into the gardens roaring battle cries loudly letting their wings extend out. Sesshomaru's mother gasped silently at the sight of the 2 dragons not knowing her son had 2 earth dragons in his possession. Sesshomaru smiles, "Good answer..." he walks to his mother, "Tell me where the bastard took MY mate..." His mother stares at him. "The Mountains of Darkness..." She replied as if it should be obvious.
~Shadow Manse~
Rin stirred she felt cold and she felt like she was laying on a regular futon; she slowly opened her eyes and noticed she was laying on a cot in a stone room. She bolted up and looked around she noticed she was in a dungeon but how did she get here. Last thing she remembered Sesshomaru confessed to her in the garden then kissed her. Then she remembered that he had carried her but she fell asleep on the way inside in her Lord's arms. But why would she be in the dungeon did she do something to her Lord to upset him? She heard someone coming down the hall. She looked at the door which was nothing but bars and a man she didn't know stood in front of her. "Ah you finally awoken my beauty..." he said his voice sounded cold just like his black eyes, Rin looked at him she knew he was a demon thanks to her training. "Where am I? Who are you? Why am I here? Where's Lord Sesshomaru?" Rin asked trying to ignore her fear and the pain in her back. "You are in my manse; "Shadow Manse"; in the Mountains of Darkness. I am the master of this Manse, Lord Ikazuchi I am the head of the Shadow clan. Your here because I wanted you because I collect beautiful and strong humans for my experiments. As for that idiot of a demon he is long dead I killed him with a special type of poison." Ikazuchi said calmly with a smile on his face. A shiver ran down Rin's spine her Lord was...no he wasn't...he couldn't...Tears formed in her eyes. "Oh don't cry I promised to take very good care of you my dear which I will you are possibly my best addition." He told her still smiling. She shaked, "No your lying..." Ikazuchi sighed "Sorry but its true...now be a good girl because I have big plans for you..." He snapped shadows coiled around Rin she looked around scared. "NO LET ME GO! SESSHOMARU!" Rin cried out as tears run down her face and the coils completely cover her. "He can't save you but what I'm about to do to you will be very exciting he opened the door and walked down the hall to the room at the end with the coils following him. Glowing eyes watch him from cells some full of hatred, others fear, and others broken. "You all should be grateful I made you stronger!" he laughed out as he opened the door letting the coils that held Rin go in first. "Your sister shall be joining us soon..." he said as he closed the door. After awhile Rin's screams filled the halls. In the cells howls, caws, and whimpers were heard as Rin screamed for Sesshomaru.
~Sesshomaru's mansion mid-day~
Sesshomaru looked at his army that had gathered to fight the shadows Yin and Yang stood proudly in the front with armor protecting them Yin had a sun symbol on her chest her armor were a gleaming silver while; Yang had a moon on his chest his armor was a gleaming black. Tsuki stood next to Sesshomaru's mother both clad in armor for high ranking Demons. His mother traded her usual kimono for a short kimono armor plates on her legs, arms, chest, and back. She held her fan which doubled as a weapon with the help of her demon powers; Tuski on the other hand had an identical outfit as his mother but the weapon was twin kitannas. Sesshomaru was wearing his usual kimono and armor but he was also holding Shi which gleamed under Sesshomaru's orders Shi was updated. At first it was a plain scythe just the structure; Sesshomaru had sent it to Totosi with Jaken to ask him to fix it up for Rin he was going to surprise her with her new and improved Shi that day. Totosai had agreed cause he liked Rin Sesshomaru looked over at the blacksmith that for once joined Sesshomaru to help rescue the human. He nodded when Totosai looked at him then looked at Shi from the corner of his eye. He had used Shi as a base; Shi's handle had silver twines racing up it like it would a katanna. The blade itself has an intricate design running along the blade to the handle. Sesshomaru noticed that at the beginning of the blade where it met the handle was a purple crescent moon that looked like his mark on his forehead. He sighs when he heard a very loud "SESSHOMARU YOU BASTARD!" and side stepped to miss Inuyasha's Tetsiga from slicing him. "SESSHOMARU YOU HAVE SOME EXPLAINING TO DO!" He heard his half brother's wife yell at him he looked to see Kagome, Kirara, a full grown Shippo, Miroku and Kohaku standing behind Inuyasha staring at him with dagger like glares. "Myoga explain." Sesshomaru calmly asked the flea demon that was on Kirara's back. "Well I heard from Totosai about your war and thought you might like some assistance." He replied shaking from fear. Sesshomaru look at his half brother then sighed knowing he would need all the help he could use to save Rin. Then Kagome noticing Shi in his hands gasped "What did you do to Shi!?" Totosai spoke up on this part, "HEY IT TOOK ME THREE DAYS TO FIX THAT SCYTHE UP FOR HER!". Kagome looked at him apologetically "Sorry Totosai I was just shocked to see it looking better than before." Totosai just huffed up a bit; "WHY ARE WE STILL STANDING AROUND HERE LETS GO SAVE RIN ALREADY!?" Kohaku yelled out pissed that his Rin was taken by Sesshomaru and know she was kidnapped. Sesshomaru glared at the young demon slayer, "We were just leaving till a certain idiot tried to slice me." He calmly replied his patients running low on all these idiots. Then Inuyasha and Kohaku started to yell at him over each other. Finally he snapped he wanted to go rescue his Rin from Ikazuchi. "ENOUGH YOU BUMBLING IDIOTS!" He snapped his eyes turning bright red making Kagome flinch. "IF YOUR GOING TO HELP RESCUE MY WOMAN THEN STOP ARGUING WITH THIS SESSHOMARU!" He yelled making everyone stare at him shocked that he claimed Rin. "What did you just..." Kohaku was about to try and kill Sesshomaru till Miroku stopped him. "You mated with her?" he asked Sesshomaru; "Not yet I was planing on giving her a proper courting." Kagome smiled "Ok everyone lets go Sesshomaru needs to get Rin back!" she anounceed happy that finally Rin will got her wish. The men stared at her like she grew a second head; "BUT HON!" Inuyasha started but Kagome flicked his forehead. "Stop making everyone wait we need to save Rin!" She said before joining the ranks Inuyasha grumbled but joined his wife followed by Kirara, Miroku and a grumbling Kohaku. Tsuki's eyes met Kohaku's eyes for a minute for some reason felt her heart thump loudly in her chest. Kohaku saw the demoness and felt his heart skip a beat, he turned his attention back to his group trying to ignore it. Kagome saw this exchange and smiled and giggled; Inuyasha side stepped away from his wife sensing her matchmaking need and knowing she gets scary during her moods. Finally Sesshomaru signaled for his army to move out. He jumped into the air with his mother and Tsuki flying next to him then Yin and Yang behind them followed by those who could fly; Kirara carried Miroku and Kohaku while Inuyasha carried Kagome as they followed right behind Yin and Yang. 'What for me my Rin I'm coming for you!' Sesshomaru thought as he rushed towards the Mountains of Darkness.
~Shadow Manse~
"Oh Rin your looking lovely so far and what with all my trials and errors before you are a success! Finally I did it..."Ikazuchi said happily looking at Rin who was panting from pain she winced she looked at him. "Wha...what did you do to me..." she asked weakly at him. He smiled at his creation. "I made you beautiful and strong and I must say I cant believe I finally succeed..." He gently caressed Rin's face she flinched away from him. "I decided you shall be my woman..." She looked at him in horror as the coils cover her again. "I REFUSE TO BE ANYONE BUT SESSHOMARUS!" She yelled at him; he smiled happily when he saw her eyes turn red. "Yes my dear you are my best creation..." The coils took Rin back to her cell she lay in her cot in too much pain to move. Tears ran down her face, "Sesshomaru please still love me after what this monster did to me..." she whispered to the darkness. She fell asleep thinking of her Lord praying he was still alive and well and on his way to save her.
Author's note: Whew this one took me ALL day to write but I enjoyed every minute! I hope you all like it I wonder what Ikazuchi did to Rin?
