Chapter 8: The Other Arrival

*- In the Cave Mansion-*

Arcangel and Kagome were heading deeper into the cave. Kagome's hand was nervously rubbing her upper arm, wondering how the news would be received in the evening; especially how InuYasha would take the news. Her mind was racing, wondering if there was another way to have gotten under his skin; to get him to fight with all of his heart instead of sinking as low as she did. 'I guess I can't do anything about it now.' She thought.

"If he loves you, he'll forgive you once you've explained the situation. I don't know how he'll react initially but if the way he fought is any indication of how much he wants to see you then I'm sure he'll come around." Arcangel said without looking at her.

"I hate it when you read my thoughts like that!" Kagome nearly screamed. She continued walking towards her room when she realized Arcangel had stopped. "What now?"

"He's here already." She said, a wide smile crossing her face. "Kagome, you go and get prepared for dinner. I have one more guest to go greet." She turned on her heal and headed back towards the entrance.

"And before you ask, it's Lord Sesshomaru." Arcangel smiled over her shoulder.

Kagome's question died before it even left her mouth. She watched her grandmother walk out of the cave and she turned and sighed. "I knew she couldn't stay away from him."

****In another room****

InuYasha was finally led to his room. It was spacious and looked like the others had. It had its own spring in an attached room for bathing. He figured that it would be best if he got cleaned up from his fight before he saw Kagome. He had noticed traces of her scent ever since he walked into the cave but they went as quickly as they came. He wondered where she was; he really needed to talk to her about this "courtship" thing that was going on. He laid the Tetsusagia on the bed and took off his pants and haori. The tear in the arm had already mended but his undershirt still had blood on it from his cut. He took it off and brought it with him into the bath. He scrubbed the sleeve and laid it to dry while he sank into the water. His mind quickly wandered to what would happen tonight. Would Kagome still want to be with him even if Kouga was here too? There were too many questions running through his head and he didn't like it at all.

*-Outside the Cave-*

Sesshomaru made his way into the clearing. He had received the invitation from Arcangel and decided that he had to meet this woman. The scent attached to the letter was enough to peak his interest. Jaken had been ranting ever since he had learned about where they were going and who they were going to see.

"I can't believe that some crusty old hag thinks that she can order the great lord Sesshomaru around..." That was about as far as he had gotten before he ran into a rather pissed off Arcangel. Her eyes were glinting with furry. She rather considered herself a spring chicken.

"OLD HAG AM I!?" Arcangel said in a very stern tone as she lowered her Naginata to be used as a golf club. "FORE." Arcangel declared as she took a swing at Jaken, successfully managing to send him off in a Team Rocket fashion. Nodding at her handy work and putting on a smile, she greeted her guests.

"Welcome to my humble abode Lord Sesshomaru and..." She looked to the right of Sesshomaru to see a small human girl clinging to his leg. "Who might you be?" She asked as she lowered herself to the girls' level.

"My name is Rin." She said with a smile. "But why was master Jaken calling you an old hag? You don't look old and you are very pretty." Rin declared as she stared at Arcangel's wings.

"What a delightful child." Arcangel said with renewed happiness. "I am not quite sure why the toad called me an old hag, never met him before in my life." Patting the small girl on the head, she asked her a question, "Tell me are you tired or hungry?"

Rin looked up to Sesshomaru, he nodded to her; “Rin is very hungry and very tired."

"Very well I will have my friend So-Crates take you to your room and you can have anything you like brought there...." Arcangel said to Rin as she stood and looked over her shoulder, "So-Crates take this delightful little girl to the pink room."

"Yes Lady Arcangel." Socrates said with a little ambiguity in his tone. "Come along little one." He said to the small girl as he motioned for her to follow him.

"What a sweet child. How ever did you come across her?" She asked with jubilance in her voice. "If you are anything like your father you probably couldn't say `no' to a face like that."

"I am nothing like my father." Sesshomaru answered with slight annoyance in his voice. "I am however interested in what you indicated in your letter. What sort of alliance do you have in mind?"

"My, my, my, it appears you are more like your father that you think." Arcangel replied rather seductively as she strolled up to him and ran her hand down his chest, "Always wanting to get right down to business." Before her hand could do anymore, exploring Sesshomaru caught it with his right hand.

"Woman my patience is wearing thin. You may be an old ally of my fathers, but, if you keep on trying to touch this Sesshomaru I may have to cut off the offending appendage." He said while throwing her hand aside. Unfortunately, Arcangel did not take kindly to the rejection, so she pouted slightly and reached for her weapon.

"Well Lord Sesshomaru, I guess that I was wrong about you. I thought that we could have a good time together. Your father and I always did." She said with a wistful smile remembering all the good times. "But, if all you want is an alliance then I must test those skills of yours.... It is going to be a shame to damage such a fine specimen." And with that, she charged at her opponent, who sidestepped the downward slash and immediately jumped back to avoid the follow up cut aimed at his stomach.

'She's fast, but if this woman thinks she can beat me she is out of her mind.' He thought as he dodged another of her attacks. 'Although I can see what my father saw in her, she fights with vigor and passion. Not to mention she's not that hard on the eyes.'

Arcangel smirked while readying herself. "Well thank you for the compliment Lord Sesshomaru, but, I show passion and vigor in more aspects than fighting." She said as she closed the distance and swept his feet from under him. She immediately brought her Naginata over head and followed him down. Sesshomaru had no where to dodge and was forced to draw Toukijin to block the strike. A resounding CLANG rung through the clearing as the two weapons met right above Sesshomaru's chest. `Damn she's strong.'

"Impressive.” He kicked out and hit the staff part of her weapon and flipped to his feet. “How is it that you know what this Sesshomaru is thinking?"

"I am a telepath. I can read peoples or in this case demons minds. It is a very handy ability." Arcangel said as she continued her attack. Sesshomaru quickly blocked and parried all her attacks but every time he moved to strike her she would move away. `Fine' he thought.

Arcangel gave him a curious look as he took a deep breath and closed his eyes. Arcangel stopped getting visions from his mind. `He cleared his mind…but why, it won't help him when I attack.' She decided to test her theory.

She charged again, pulling the Naginata back to thrust it through his midsection. She just lunged at him when, with amazing speed, Sesshomaru brought Toukijin around and nudge the blade to his right. As the blade missed, Sesshomaru spun with it and quickly struck Arcangel in the back with the hilt of his sword. She stumbled forward but quickly regained her balance. She spun and looked at Sesshomaru. He was standing in the same position a before.

“No one has landed an attack on me in some time Lord Sesshomaru; it is now my turn to be impressed.” She said smiling. He opened his eyes to look at her. She was rubbing her back and staring at him. In all honesty, he had not had this much of a challenge in a long while. He was enjoying this. A small smirk played on his lips and did not go unnoticed by Arcangel.

`Ah, so he is enjoying this as much as I am; looks like its time to stop playing around and get down to the business at hand.' Arcangel brought her Naginata up and leveled it at Sesshomaru. The wind picked up in the clearing and a ball of energy appeared at the end of the blade. He eyed this cautiously as he readied his own attack.

“It's over Fluffy-kins; CELESTIAL JUDGEMENT!” With that the ball left her Naginata and sped towards Sesshomaru. He brought Toukijin above his head and swung it downward.

“DRAGON STRIKE!”

Bolts of electricity surrounded him and the wall caught the ball of energy. After a few seconds; the attacks clashed a resounding explosion ripped through the clearing. Dust flew everywhere obscuring the two opponents.

`I'll get her on her right side.' Arcangel's head snapped right and readied herself, `No, the left.' She spun around and saw nothing but dust, her breath quickening.

`Damn, he's smart, projecting false thoughts to me.' Just as she finished her musings, her Naginata was knocked away and a strong clawed hand wrapped around her throat. She quickly shifted her weight and used the force of the grab to fall backwards and twist. She then pulled two feathers from her wings and, after instantly hardening, placed them against his neck as they impacted the ground. The dust started to settle and the scene unfolded.

Arcangel was lying on top of Sesshomaru. Her legs spread around his waist and her chest pushed hard up against his. Their faces were inches apart as they stared into each other's eyes. Sesshomaru loosened his grip as Arcangel pulled her feathers away from his neck.

“I guess you really are worthy” she whispered as she rolled her hips forward. This elicited a small, almost imperceptible growl from the Inu-Youki below her. `I guess he's not as cold as he thinks he is.'

The scent of her being so close was almost intoxicating. There was also something else to her scent; he had smelt that once before; when Kagura came to him, the unmistakable scent of arousal. `Damn' he thought.

“Oh don't worry, we can work this out later” she smiled at him and slowly stood. Reaching down she brought him up to her.
