Sesshoumaru-sama's Family

The strange mirror like creation burst into a wide variety of colors and shapes, than scenery could be seen as trees and villages whizzed by with alarming speed before slowing down as they seemed to enter a cave. It was then that Ferio in all his ugliness came into view. He'd chosen to hole up in a cave with an underground water source and everyone looked at the dwelling he'd made for himself while he paced around in the small area, cursing under his breath. Things were not going as he'd planned at all.

"You expect us to believe that that thing defeated my warriors?" Manta demanded to know, looking like he was about to explode as he glared at them all. He had never gotten along well with Sesshoumaru and had no respect for the dog demon. To take on that human child was truly disgusting and a blemish on the greatness of the title of demon. The fact that Sesshoumaru was so dangerous and more deadly then himself was the only reason Manta had never tried to rid the world of the pathetic demon though he'd never admit his fear of the demon lord. This was more then a sore spot for him and secretly he wouldn't have been overly upset if this Ferio creature did rid the world of the Lord of the West if not for the fact that to be able to destroy Sesshoumaru this Ferio would have to be more powerful and dangerous then the lord. The very thought was mind numbingly scary.

"And people say that I'm stupid." Kyou muttered under his breath to Andrea who had to agree with that assessment on both ends. "I've seen goldfish with more intelligence and those things can't hold a thought for more then five seconds. You'd think that he might have started out with some intelligence but obviously his past is a lot like his present. Dumb as a doornail...on second thought, that insults door nails."

"Quiet." Sesshoumaru said just loud enough for his nephew to hear and knowing better then to disagree Kyou shut up. The other demons were arguing about the possibility that this monstrosity was what Sesshoumaru said he was and speculation about where he was at the moment.

"Stupid little bitch, always ruining my plans! That whole family, this is all their fault, curse their hides." Ferio suddenly yelled out causing the demons in the hall of Treize to fall silent as they listened to the thing's rant. "Why won't he die? He was weak enough to join his blood with a human, he should be easy to kill! All those bloody children of his, it's their fault that I haven't won yet." Ferio yelled to the walls of the cavern, unaware that far away he was being watched and observed. "And that half breed brother of his, sticking his nose in where it doesn't concern him. But that doesn't matter, that doesn't matter because they're defeated." Ferio muttered and a truly hideous smile came across his features. "My minions would have attacked them in the future like I'd planned before I came to this Hell hole. Yes, the ground will be littered with their carcasses right this minute. I bet the hall is bathed with the blood of their women and children." Ferio crowed in delight as he nodded his head rapidly. "I'll look into the future, see their destruction, find that Sora bitch and make her see, show her how her brothers and her stupid bitch mother died. And the great Sesshoumaru, ha, he's likely dead or weeping over his children and bitch, should've joined forced with me, nobody turns me down, no one!" Ferio ranted with a growl before turning his attention back to the matter at hand. Leaning over he picked up a rock and lifted it to his right hand sliced the sharp rock across the palm of that hand then pressed the bleeding hand to the walls, sliding the bleeding hand in a straight line, the blood dripping down and as he stepped back and said several phrases in a language no one in the room recognized. The blood grew thicker and thicker until the cave's wall looked bathed in it. At more commands the bloody walls shimmered strangely and made the sight that much more disgusting and stomach turning.

"With this blood of mine I give my command, show me the latest battle against the demon lord Sesshoumaru and his family." Ferio demanded in glee as his hand continued to bleed all over the place unnoticed. Instantly the wall came ablaze with light and then a village under attack appeared. People screaming for their lives as they ran screaming while others remained to fight off the beasts under Ferio's command.

"NO!" Sora yelled as she yanked away from Tomoyo who none the less kept the visions on the screen as they all watched what Ferio was watching. She knew that village as well, as she knew her own home. Had walked those streets and talked to these people who were being hunted down like they were no more then animals. His blood would cover the earth when she was done for this alone Sora vowed to herself. "The village!"

"Those f#kin bastards." Kyou roared as he moved away to stand beside his cousin as he stared up at the screen. "They're humans for God sakes, they don't stand a bloody chance. They're not in the way." Kyou yelled as he vibrated with anger as he watched the needless death and destruction of those who had done nothing to deserve what they were being dealt. Where was his family, why weren't they there to stop this?

"But it will get the family away from our holdings." Sora said quietly as they watched the carnage in horror, watched the people go running towards a large hill with Ferio's men at their heels, blood being shed everywhere as the men attempted to give their women and children time to get away.

"Yes run you filthy humans, run to your Lord." Ferio crowed in delight, the sounds of battle and death exciting him. "And there they are now." Ferio said practically jumping up and down for joy as he caught sight of the figures on the hill. It was them, now they saw how powerful he was, now they'd realize their mistake in thinking that they were better then he was. Now they would die and he'd never have to deal with them again.

"Thank the Gods it's Lord Sesshoumaru!" One of the women yelled at and everyone from the past time period felt their jaws drop as the humans cried out thanks and ran towards the lord known everywhere for his hatred of all humans and yet these people were running towards him like he was their savior from the hell that chased them.

"By the Gods." Sesshoumaru muttered under his breath as he stared in shock at the people who were running to the hill looking and sounding much like they were seeking his protection . They were running to him, they expected him to protect them? What madness was this?

"Focus on him, The great Lord Sesshoumaru." Ferio demanded as if hearing Sesshoumaru's thoughts and suddenly the screen was filled with the images of himself in the future along with what had to be his sons as well as others. Sesshoumaru stared and stared some more. It was him all right and he stood straight and tall with barely leashed anger as he looked down at the scene that was playing out before them.

In the future

On top of the hill Sesshoumaru watched the scene play out with barely leashed anger as he saw what Ferio had dared to do. A demon still in his prime his silver hair blew faintly in the breeze as he turned his head slightly to look at the mirror image of himself though younger and with slightly darker golden eyes. His eldest son Kohaku stared down at the carnage with eyes that lit with flames though he restrained himself from blind action, as he had learned well. Turning his head in the other direction Sesshoumaru looked at his youngest son, Dare. So much like his mother Dare's hair was the same silver as his own though there were hints of blue streaks here and there, the eyes were his mother's, a dark brown usually filled with humor and good will though not so today. These were his sons, he could not be prouder of either of them. "Kohaku, Dare, are you ready?"

"Yes, Father." Kohaku said coolly with his hand tight on the large blade strapped to his thigh. None of them wore any armor and were facing this in their robes (similar to what Sesshoumaru always wears) and their swords, nothing more. Some would have said this was suicide, Sesshoumaru's children would have said that it was child's play. They were very much like their parents, hunters to the bone.

"Let's show those bastards a thing or two." Dare growled as he nodded at his father and brother as he watched his intended prey with the piercing glare of a well learned predator. Those bastards were in the way of getting to his sister and the others, he would eliminate every one of them and show that bastard Ferio what happened to those who would harm any member of his family.

"Sango?" Sesshoumaru demanded and from Kohaku's side she appeared on her cat, in her demon slayer uniform with her weapon as always strapped to her back. She had aged little as well thanks to her water demon blood and her dark hair showed no gray though there were strands of dark blue to show off the water demon blood flowing through her veins.

"Hurt my babies will they, when I get done there will be nothing left but mush." Sango snarled and Sesshoumaru had to smile slightly at her expression. She was quite a sight when she was like this. There was nothing more dangerous then a mother protecting her pups. Sesshoumaru had learned that long ago and he had no doubt that she would litter the grounds below them with Ferio's dead in no time at all. "Let's show them an example of our idea of hospitality around here."

"Of course." Sesshoumaru agreed with a nod before looking past his other son to where another cat demon, the cub of Sango's stood with his sister in law Kagome and his niece Hotaru on its back at the ready. The villagers would be their responsibility once the fighting broke out. "And you two?"

"Let's go." Kagome said with a nod of her head which her daughter echoed. She wore black slacks and a gray top with her dark black in a bun at the back of her head with her slight blue highlights showing to demonstrate the water demon blood in her veins as well. Sitting behind her was her mirror image though Hotaru's eyes were slightly lighter then her mother's and she was dressed in blue jeans and a pink T-shirt, wearing a quiver of arrows like her mother and a bow at the ready in her hand.

"Then we go." Sesshoumaru said with a nod of his silver head, knowing that he had nothing to worry about. There were no warriors that could match his children in battle save possibly his niece Mika. They would win this battle easily and then return to more important matters. Getting his daughter, Andrea and his nephew back. "Kohaku, Dare. This is for your sister and you're cousins. I expect nothing less then perfection."

"Of course, Father. They will beg for death by the time we're finished with them." Kohaku said with a cool nod and was joined by his brother who added his opinion that they would bath the ground with the blood and bodies of their enemies. They were not happy big brothers and they were very eager to avenge their missing family members.

Sure of success Sesshoumaru walked quickly towards the hill's crest with his sons at his heels. Hurling themselves off the crest they fell downward with the wind whipping their hair out behind them like banners. Quickly their eyes went red and they were engulfed by a pinkish fog as they changed into their true forms.

Past

"By the Gods." Sesshoumaru said in pride and amazement as he and his sons landed on the ground, his son Kohaku his mirror image while his son Dare was as black as night as they hurled forward, intent on their prey. His sons were magnificent, he thought as he watched them move with amazing speed at the enemy without a hint of fear or worry. These were warriors, sons to be proud of without question.

Sango watched herself hurl off the cliff after them, her eyes on fire as her older self landed and raced after Sesshoumaru and his sons. How could it be that she didn't look all that much older then she was now, it was as if she hadn't aged and yet Sora was eighteen which meant that she should look like a woman in her thirties at the very least but she looked like she could pass for someone Sora's age. How could that be possible?

"She looks just like you." Inu yasha said softly as they watched the other cat demon follow the others, staring at his mate and the daughter he didn't know. She looked so much like Kagome that except for the slight difference in eye color he'd never have been able to tell them apart simply by looking at them. "You haven't aged." Inu yasha added in confusion as he stared at his future wife. She looked much as she did now except for slight blue highlights which his daughter had as well. So did Sango, Inu yasha realized with a start. "Neither has Sango."

"But why haven't we?" Kagome asked to no one in particular as everyone's eyes were currently glued to the action that was taking place. Her eyes going wide she watched as Sesshoumaru, his sons and Sango literally jumped over the village people and hurled headlong into the fray. Before her eyes she watched a massacre as Sesshoumaru and his sons tore Ferio's men to pieces without mercy as they desecrated them, going from one minion to the next as though they were chew toys to be clamped between powerful jaws and claws then torn apart. Ouch.

Future

"Allow me to clear the path a little better." Sango said as she released her weapon from behind her and standing up hurled the weapon through the stream of Ferio's foot soldiers who were sliced to bits by her blade before it came zooming back to her to be caught easily. "This ends here." She growled as she hopped off her cat's back and landed into the fry, slashing out with her weapon and generally killing everything that got in her way. These things had threatened her family, they had to die and not well.

"Follow us!" Kagome called out to the villagers, having hung back to herd the villagers away from the fray. Leading them away from the fighting they hollered at the people where to go then got in between the villagers and the battle, shooting off arrows at the those minions who were thinking to follow their intended prey, becoming prey without warning as they fell victim to the arrows.

"Sorry." Hotaru called out to every monster her arrow killed though she continued to fire rapidly and with deadly accuracy. She never missed. As a doctor and surgeon it was against her vows to kill and so she apologized every time she killed one of them and hoped that it had been a quick death. "So sorry about this. Please die quickly so you don't suffer, okay?"

"Hotaru." Her father said with a shake of his head as he suddenly appeared by their side after literally coming through a demon who'd been trying to prevent him from getting to his family. He'd been out scouting the area when word had reached him about the village being under attack and he'd gotten there as quickly as he could. "Where are Mika, Wufei and Ronin?" Inu yasha added as he stood at the ready for any moron that was actually able to escape the arrows flying through the air. He'd had to borrow a blade and it didn't feel as right as his own. It would do the job though.

"They're coming at the monsters from behind." Kagome said with a cool smile at her husband after decapitating a demon that was getting a little too close for comfort. "I expect to hear the screams of our daughter's victims shortly. Mika was very eager to dish out some of her personal brand of payback."
