Chapter Nine: Makai and Sesshoumaru

 

 

Sesshoumaru regarded the human female in front of him. She had sable colored hair that fell in gentle waves to the middle of her back. Her honey colored eyes regarded him with equal parts curiosity and respect. But he could detect no traces of fear. She wore blue pants that hugged her slim legs and gently rounded hips. A red top with no sleeves, just thick straps, molded to her ample breasts and slim waist. He wondered how a human as frail looking as she could look upon him without fear.

 

A slow smile crept across Makai's face. It would appear she had surprised the demon lord. He hadn't expected a human to get in his way, especially one who showed no fear toward him. She was curious to see what he would do next. Would he say something or just attack?

 

“Human, where is my half-breed brother?”

 

“That, I'm afraid, I can't tell you, Sesshoumaru. Inuyasha is occupied at the moment, and I can't allow you to pass and interfere.”

 

“And just what do you think you, a weak human, can do about it? I have no time for this idiotic conversation. Move.”

 

“No.”

 

Makai quickly dodged to the side as Sesshoumaru attacked. A sword appeared in her hand and she dropped into a fighting stance, waiting for the demon lord's next attack. She didn't have to wait long, as Sesshoumaru turned and drew Tokijin. He swung the sword with lightening quickness, only to meet with the human wench's blade. How had she blocked his attack? Most humans wouldn't have even been able to see him swing, let along block it.

 

“I'm stronger than I look, Sesshoumaru.”

 

The girl flipped away from him, landing several feet away and slowly began circling him. Sesshoumaru watched her, waiting for the opportunity to strike. He would have to pay closer attention to this human. It would seem she had a few tricks up her sleeve. Seeing an opening, he charged again. The girl dodged at the last second, lightly touching the spot where Sesshoumaru's arm had been chopped off so long ago. A white light shot from the girl's fingers, shooting through his stub. It felt like he'd been shocked. Sesshoumaru flexed his arm and hand, trying to work out the strange feeling, when he realized he had his arm back. He looked up with mild surprise at the human.

 

“I don't believe in having an unfair advantage over my opponent, Sesshoumaru. Your missing arm was a point in my favor.”

 

“Worthless human, this Sesshoumaru could have beaten you even without this arm.”

 

The girl simply smirked. This enraged Sesshoumaru, and he moved to attack again. Suddenly the girl's hand shot up, immobilizing Sesshoumaru in mid air. She cocked her head and her vision clouded as if she were seeing and hearing something he could not. Suddenly, her vision cleared and she met Sesshoumaru's eyes.

 

“I believe our little chat will have to be concluded another time. Good bye Sesshoumaru.”

A white light engulfed the youkai lord. When it faded, he found himself back at his campsite many miles away, a surprised Rin and Jaken staring at him. Suddenly, Rin launched herself at Sesshoumaru, wrapping his leg in a hug.

 

“Lord Sesshoumaru, you're back,” Rin exclaimed.

 

“Rin, go play,” Sesshoumaru said as he gently patted her head. Excitedly, Rin did what her lord said and ran off to play. Sesshoumaru had much to think about concerning the strange human female he'd encountered. Apparently, she was much more powerful than he'd first perceived.

 

Back at the camp, Makai held a small, wistful smile. She was sorry that she'd had to cut her fight with Sesshoumaru short, but Kagome was in trouble. Ayame, meet me where Kagome, Inuyasha, and Kikyo are. Hurry, she silently sent out. Quickly, she headed toward her friend, a grim expression on her face. Her vision hadn't shown her everything that would happen this day and she was worried. What she came upon didn't help alleviate her worry in the least.
