InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Deception ❯ Chapter One ( Chapter 1 )

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha but am very thankful right now for the auto-save feature Microsoft Word has right now.

 

The inugroup had been fighting a powerful old demon that had been accidentally awakened. “Shikon Jewel!” the demon would bellow but the group was determined to keep the shards away from him. They were having trouble nevertheless; the demon had an excellent strategy; he was tiring out the group while he kept his stamina high.

“This is no good,” Inuyasha fumed as he slid backwards.

“This is a demon your father's time! He knows how to fight in a way that is dead to the other demons of today!” Myoga jumped up and down from a safe place, “he will continue like this until his opponent is too tired to fight back!”

“How do we defeat him then? We can not play by him own game,” Miroku asked.

Myoga was silent before at last answering, “give him the shards.”

“That's not an option and you know it!” Inuyasha yelled. The demon simply chuckled.

“The only way we could survive is if a demon who knows the tactic came along and took over,” Myoga sighed, “but the only demon still alive that knows is-“

“Sesshoumaru!” Inuyasha seethed. He was not finishing Myoga's statement but glaring at his older brother who had come onto the scene.

Sesshoumaru didn't even glance at Inuyasha as he faced the demon, “so someone has disturbed your slumber.”

“Sesshoumaru, still just as foolish as ever,” the demon attacked Sesshoumaru like he had with Inuyasha. The demon lord simply shifted and the attack whizzed by him. “So you still have nerves of steel,” the demon chuckled again, “well, you can show them off in the netherworld!” Again an attack and again Sesshoumaru barely moved. The group was in awe, Sesshoumaru was the one who knew! The battle lasted several hours and neither showed signs of fatigue. Inuyasha had tried several times to rejoin the fight but the only thing he had accomplished was getting his elder brother injured. The demon had one last move and used it to get the shards from Kagome.

“This isn't the Shikon Jewel! This is a fake!” the demon turned to try and get an explanation but Sesshoumaru was too fast. The demon lay on the ground with the dog demon standing over him, “where-“

“Silence your drivel,” Sesshoumaru ordered but did it for him.

He was walking away when he was stopped by the group, “what did he mean by fake?” Sango asked.

“Nothing of importance,” was the reply before he disappeared into the trees. The group watched him leave knowing he was hiding something but they also knew that trying to get information out of him was like trying to get blood from a stone.

Inuyasha turned and squeezed Myoga, “what did ugly there man by `fake'?”

“I-I don't know!” Myoga stuttered.

“You stink at lying. So why don't you just tell us,” Kagome offered.
