Chapter 2: The Punishment for Sin

 

Hanyou - half demon

 

“Inuyasha I need to go home and do my test,” cried out Kagome for the hundredth time.

 

“We have shards to collect and that's more important than those stupid tests,” Inuyasha growled out, also for the hundredth time. This time though, he made the mistake of grabbing her arm as she went to go past him.

 

She glared at his hand and then back up to his face, he realized his mistake too late as he released her and she sat him into the ground.

 

As soon as the spell wore off and he was able to run off after her he asked “How long are you going to be this time?” He groused sulkily, still upset she had sat him yet again. This had to be the tenth time today and he was getting pretty tired of it.

 

“I'll only be gone for five days and then I'll be able to stay for three months.” She hoped this would pacify him. These were to be her final exams for the year and then she would be free for the summer.

 

He crossed his arms and huffed. “Okay, but only five, no more.”

 

She rolled her eyes and then saying goodbye jumped over the edge and into the blue light.

 

Inuyasha watched her go his heart becoming sad. He really missed having her here with him. Why can't I just tell her that? He asked himself. Because you don't want her to reject you, himself answered. Inuyasha sighed and then trekked back to the village where the rest of the gang was.

 

He was just about to clear the trees of the forest when a familiar scent wafted across his nose. Sesshoumaru, what's he want? He thought, not really in the mood to deal with his jerk of a brother. He continued on his way towards the village when suddenly his brother and a female were in front of him.

 

He drew Tetsusaiga “What the fuck do you want Sesshoumaru, I'm not in the mood for your shit today!”

 

“Quite the temper,” the female said calmly also releasing her very long sword.

 

“Indeed,” Sesshoumaru replied, talking as if he was discussing the weather, holding Toukijin at his side.

 

Inuyasha frowned in mild confusion. “Who's this brother, you're girlfriend?” he asked sarcastically.

 

“I am no ones girlfriend,” replied the angel opening her wings to their full length.

 

Inuyasha started to get worried, what the hell is going on here? Who is she?

 

“I am Mitsukai of the Tenshinoyounashoujo and you are nothing but a cur.” Saying this, she struck out with her sword, only missing lobbing off Inuyasha's head by a mere fraction as he leapt back to avoid her attack. He put his hand to his throat and looked at the blood that seeped from the small cut, anger beginning to boil within him.

 

He didn't have much time to think about it as Sesshoumaru attacked as well, quickly running to him and bringing Toukijin down. Inuyasha blocked with Tetsusaiga, but was knocked off his feet and hit the ground hard on his back. He managed to put his sword in front of him as Sesshoumaru again lunged at him bringing his sword down upon the Tetsusaiga.

 

Inuyasha was able to push his brother off of him and quickly jump to his feet. He was so busy watching Sesshoumaru that the winged woman was able to get behind him, grabbing him by the back of the neck and shaking him like a puppy. She threw him to the ground so he again landed on his back and leapt onto him, holding him down with her legs straddling his middle, her knees on his arms. She reached down and took hold of the Tetsusaiga and didn't let go even as it crackled and burnt her hand, forcefully pulling it from his.

 

Sesshoumaru was impressed, he had had the pleasure of feeling the Tetsusaiga in his hand and he knew that it hurt. This girl was not even flinching at the pain he knew she felt.

 

Inuyasha bucked and twisted beneath her trying to knock her off but she was a lot stronger than she looked and held him to the ground. She put her sword back in its scabbard and then placed her hand on his chest over his heart. She could feel it pounding fast and hard and feel the fear start to wash through the hanyou. She smirked at him and then let loose her power.

 

Sesshoumaru watched as Mitsukai forced a beam of energy into his brother and he listened momentarily to him scream before something inside him told him to stop her. Before he even knew what possessed him to do it, he had grabbed the girls hand and pulled it roughly from his brother, throwing her off him so she landed on her butt about five feet away.

 

“What are you doing?” she asked angrily still holding the crackling Tetsusaiga.

 

“I will be the one to kill him,” replied Sesshoumaru, although he didn't make a move to do so, instead stepping between his brother and the Tenshinoyounashoujo holding his sword towards her.

 

She rose furiously into the air above them, the wind from her wings sending dust and debris at Sesshoumaru. “Keep your brother, what do I care, but give me Tenseiga. I have kept my part of the bargain.”

 

Inuyasha was disoriented and close to unconsciousness. All he knew was that his brother had saved him from that girl and he was mystified as to why. He tried to rise to fight and take back the Tetsusaiga but blackness began to creep into his perceptions forcing him to stay on the ground and watch as Sesshoumaru removed Tenseiga from his side holding it out to Mitsukai.

 

She landed on the ground with a smile of victory on her face and approached Sesshoumaru to give him the Tetsusaiga. When she got close enough he threw the Tenseiga back towards Inuyasha and grabbed the Tetsusaiga from her grasp and struck out at her cutting into her arm. She does bleed, which means she can be defeated.

 

She leapt back, waves of death coming off her, and with her anger fuelling her body moved faster than even Sesshoumaru and wrapped her arms and her wings around him holding him almost in a lovers embrace so he was unable to move.

 

“Demons, none of you have honour,” she spat, as she let loose her energy into Sesshoumaru. “If you want to take your brother's place, so be it,” she hissed into his ear as he tried in vain to break free of her hold. He felt himself weaken and then he felt nothing.

 

Inuyasha watched helplessly as his brother and the Tenshinoyounashoujo were engulfed in a bright white light and then went unconscious.

 

Mitsukai stepped before the prone hanyou and picked up the Tenseiga that was in his grasp. She looked at the Tetsusaiga that was in the hand of the unconscious Sesshoumaru, it was now back to its original tatty form. She smiled. This is punishment for your sin, demon. Do not think to insult one such as me again. With that she rose into the air, ascending upwards with the Tenseiga at her hip.
