"Little brother, I believe we should go to a clearing where we can't destroy everything in our path. Agreed?"
"Very well, then."
They formed into their orb-like forms and quickly found a huge patch of land that nothing, but grass was growing there. Indeed, a perfect place to start their sibling supremacy duel.
"Inuki*, I wish to know something before we commence this duel."
"What do you wish to know, little brother?"
"I wish to know...what do you meant by 'who's the alpha between us'? I don't understand this."
Inuhime was shocked and confused, "What?! You mean to tell me that you don't remember us dueling for sibling supremacy."
Sesshomaru nodded. She continued, "Well, I can't say that I am surprised, but I would at least expected you to remember our last duel." She seen his expression on his face telling her that he surely and sincerely doesn't remember their last sibling alpha duel.
She continued, "Well, like I said before; I will enlighten you, my little brother. As we fight, we will be seeing our past sibling duels in our minds' eye of course. It only takes one strike that our fangs will clash to begin the remembrance. Is that acceptable to you, brother?"
"Acceptable. Wait a moment! Where's your youkai sword?"
"Watch and observe, little brother!"
She grab the item that Totosai and Myoga had brought her earlier. Everyone was shocked beyond belief when they realized what they item was. It was a fan...similar to what Kagura had, but this was different. Whenever she opened the fan. It was beautiful. The one side of the fan had a dragon on it. The color of it's scales were metallic green, its eyes were black. The other side of the fan had a phoenix that had metallic rainbow colors for its feathers and the eyes were white. Everyone was confused. How can a fan be made out of the her fangs? Little did they know though that it was under a concealment spell.
"Inuhime, you can't expect to defeat me with a fan, could you?"
"No, but you haven't seen nothing, yet, my dear brother."
She smirked and said, "Seitoshi no tenga*." The fan transformed into a youkai sword to show its glory. The sword almost looked like the Tetsusaiga, but the hilt was made of silver with its name on one side while the other has a dragon and phoenix like a yin-yang symbol; where the guard is has some fluff, but it was black and white. It also not as huge as the Tetsusaiga, but it looked like a regular katana. The blade was starkling like a diamond sparkled in the light. The fangs themselves were combined as one, but it could be seperated into two different fangs if the wielder desires it so. It was beautiful. The most beautiful of all youkai swords. Inuhime was proud that fact.
Kagome said, "Seitoshi no what?"
Totosai said, "Seitoshi no tenga: The Heavenly Fangs of Life and Death. The phoenix represents life as the dragon represents death. Notice the color of her fangs, one half of the blade is black as the other side was white. This youkai sword is very complicated, but easy to wield after mastering it. Unfortunately for our lady had never master her own fangs because of the simple fact that she was in her caverous prison. Until now she was able to use her weapon for the first time in two hundred years since our Great Lord, Inu no Taisho had passed on. Now that was an interesting duel between father and daughter."
Inuhime said, "Are you impressed, brother?"
"I can't say that I wasn't, but maybe if we can stop this foolishness, then we could talk about your tale on how you achieve such a sword."
Inuhime smirked, "Sorry brother, not this time, we will finished this duel even if it kills us in the end, is that clear?"
"Perfectly."
"Then I suggest you unsheath your Bakusaiga. That way, we could get this started and over with."
He smirked.
Kagome said, "Oh Kami, they are really going to go through with this duel."
Myoga said, "Lady Kagome, this was unfinished business between them, two. It's for the best if they could settle this once and for all. Better now than later."
Kagome exhale a breathe that she was unaware that she had held back. She remembered the fights that Inuyasha and Sesshomaru had gotten into before, during, and even after Naraku. She hoped that this duel will be the last between them. She hated to see people that she loved and/or cared about getting hurt. It emotionally drained her. For the sakes of Shippo and Rin, she would put up a strong front.
Inuhime and Sesshomaru started to run with their swords unsheathed until they clashed into each other. As soon as they first hear their swords clashing, they immediately went into a mediative state...
The First Sibling Supremacy Duel...
In the birthing chamber of the Palace of the Moon, the Lady of the House, Inukimi, was giving birth to Sesshomaru and Inuhime. The midwife was having trouble with the twin's delivery. The Lord knew that this pregnancy was extraordinary so he invited a powerful miko, Midoriko, to help along with the midwife and the healer. Inukimi was being stubborn because she will not allow a miko or more less a human to touch her children despite the miko's warnings of death. At one point, Inukimi was looking pale as a ghost. Despite the lady's refusals, the healer brought the miko inside the chamber because they didn't understand what was happening inside the lady's womb.
Midoriko said to the lady because she was snarling and growling at her, "Lady Inukimi, I understand that you mistrust me, but please for the sake of the twin's life and your own, please let me touch you. I promise I won't hurt you or your pups."
The Lady of the West just nodded. She was in so much pain that she wouldn't even care if the miko would purified her right then and there. Midoriko put both hands on her stomach. She closed her eyes to concentrate on the pups. She saw in her mind's eye that the twins fighting. She could telepathically heard their conflict. She chuckled and heard that they were arguing on who would be the first born. Suddenly she felt a surge of power coming from the female pup.
The lady was screaming at the miko, "What the fuck are you doing you filthy miko bitch?!
Midoriko rose up and said calmly, "Try to stay calm, your pups can sense your stress, please calm down."
She went out and brought the Dog General, himself, inside. The powerful miko said calmly, "Your pups are arguing among themselves. Since children tend to obey their father's first before the mother. You must tell them to stop hurting their mother and have the one with the miko power come out first because she is the one who's causing more discomfort to your lady and the male will quickly follow. General, I will need to speak with you afterwards, it's urgent. I'll be in your study." She bowed and went out of the chamber.
Inu no Taisho said in an authoritative voice, "My pups stop your nonsense. You are hurting your mother. The pup with the miko powers come forth first."
Just like Midoriko promised, the female pup came out and soon followed the twin brother. The lady was so relieved, but she overheard what Midoriko said about the female pup. She immediately tried to kill her, but the pups' father grabbed her throat in the nick of time.
"What the hell are you doing, Inukimi? Have you gone mad?"
"That little bitch almost kill me and the male pup, Inu no Taisho!"
"That little bitch is also our daughter! She's strong and healthy! There was no need to kill the pup! She can't help what she is, Inukimi!"
"If you desire that little bitch's life then get her away from me and my son, Sesshomaru. SHE WILL NOT RECEIVE ANY MILK FROM ME!"
He growled at his wife, let go of her thoat, and then he left the birthing chamber with his little dog princess in his strong, yet gentle arms. He then named her, Inuhime.
The Second Sibling Supremacy Duel...
Sesshomaru and Inuhime were teenagers in inuyoukai years, their father had just announced that they would soon have a pup sister or brother. Inuhime was responible for both of themselves in terms of their studies and their freetime. Sesshomaru was laid back never really caring what his mother had said about his twin. He had always heard nothing, but trash talk coming from their mother. Inuhime may had been strong physically, but not emotionally. The words that their mother had called her was humiliating and hurtful. They both knew why. Sesshomaru had always comforted his twin whenever he found her crying her beautiful eyes out. Their father had confronted Inukimi several times about her verbally abusing their daughter, but Inukimi didn't care. She had always stirred up rumors that she had dishonor their family and so on. One day Inuhime got fed up with anything, her beast wants revenge. She desire to devour her mother as she would had done if her father wasn't there in time. She wouldn't had ever been alive.
Her beast said hungrily, "Let's devour all those who had harm us, Inuhime. Especially that cunt of a mother."
"Yes, but what if Sesshomaru gets in the way. I don't desire to kill him because he was helping to protect mother."
"If he gets in the way, then, we will make him submit to us. We are the alpha between us twins. He knows his place. He will not interfere."
"And if he doesn't submit and interfere with our vengence of the heart."
"Then, that will mean that he's challenging us for being alpha between us."
Not another second passed by, when her beast took control of her mind. Her beast destroy everything that was held dear to her bitchy ass mother. I mean everything all her mother's favorites, slaves, clothes, and etc... It didn't matter to Inuhime. Whenever she was going after her mother, somebody suddenly dropped in between herself and her mother. It was the handsome, young inuyoukai, himself, Sesshomaru.
Inuhime snarled and growled at him, "GET OUT OF MY WAY, SESSHOMARU!"
"I can't do that Inuhime. You are too emotionally unstable to be alpha between us. It will only get worse, sister, please, surrender yourself."
"FUCK NO, SESSHOMARU! THAT CUNT NEEDS TO DIE. SHE COULD HAD KILL ME WHEN I WAS A PUP, BUT FATHER STOPPED HER. SHE WILL PAY FOR ALSO SLANDERING MY NAME ACROSS THESE LANDS!"
"Inuhime, please, calm down. I don't wish to fight you!"
"IF YOU WISH NOT TO FIGHT ME, SESSHOMARU. THEN I RECOMMEND YOU MOVE ASIDE!
"No, I can't let you do this! This Sesshomaru has no choice but the fight you, then."
He motioned his right arm up and create his green whip. He had hit her many times as she jumped around and attacking with her own youkai powers, but failed miseribly until she returned to her humanoid form.
"Are you submitting, then."
He waited patiently, She was so fatigue. She managed to say something to anyone or everyone who may be listening to her. "I wish to apologized to you. I am sorry for everything. I hope you and father will forgive me." She collapsed on the ground. Sesshomaru took his sister to his room. He's now alpha between them. Thank Kami he was able to have her to submit. That duel nearly killed the both of them.
