Disclaimer: Aw crap! Again! (Lawyers nod heads). Oh all right! I do not own the Inu Crew. Okay! But I will! When I take over the world! Atoo! POWER TO LIBERALISTS! . . . Sorry. Candy rush. Can’t help it. Moop.   A/N: Anyway thank you all who reviewed! Atoo, Atoo, Moop. Also, I must warn you. Although the story seems dark and full of angst, it doesn’t always stay that way throughout the story. Some chapters are . . . crack head-ish. I can’t help it! I can’t be morbid all the time! Hell, I’m barely sober 80 percent of the time! (From candy people. CANDY.) So read and enjoy!   Chapter 3: Black Wings   On the ground was a woman. A beautiful woman. Long black hair, skin that glowed like the light of the moon, and delicate features graced her face. Tears brimmed from her wide, luminous violet eyes. She was surrounded by laughing and mocking bear demons.            & nbsp;“Look at this one,” they said amongst themselves, “We're gonna have fun with her.”One pompous bear pulled her up by her midnight hair. “I hope you taste as sweet as you look.” The bear's laughs rang through the night as they began to tear the maiden's kimono. She tried to fight them off, but her attempts in vain. Sesshomaru growled and stepped out the shadows. The lustful bears turned to him.            &nbs p;“Unhand her.” He stated flatly. The bears turned to each other and stared. Then out of nowhere, they began to laugh. Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow. “I fail to see what seems to be so funny.” “You, little man!” Answered the bear holding the maiden, “Coming here and dare to challenge us, The Earth Bear Clan, the most powerful Bear Clan of all!” Sesshomaru almost rolled his eyes. Oh great, he's one of those characters. Just what I need, an arrogant jackass. If I wanted a headache, I would go visit InuYasha! “Listen to me bear. This Sesshomaru is irritated and sleep-deprived. Do not upset me.” The bear demon scoffed and spat at the feet of the Taiyoukai. Sesshomaru growled ferally as his eyes began to bleed red. The ignorant bear took no notice in his rage-filled aura and began to chuckle. “Please! Do not make me laugh any harder! My sides already hurt enough!” The Earth Bear stopped chuckling and muttered, “A little puppy trying to play with the big dogs. Huh, kids these days . . . ”            & nbsp;Sesshomaru's rage shot through the roof. He could handle being called little man (the bears were 14 feet tall, at least twice his height), he could even take being spat at (InuYasha did that a lot), but being called a puppy irked him to insanity. No one, no one, called him a puppy and lived to talk about it. He'd burn in the deepest pits of Hell before he, Lord Sesshomaru, Taiyoukai of the Western Lands, let some filthy bear belittle him in public . . . even if the audience at most was seven (A/N: A proud dog isn't he). Sesshomaru allowed his noxious acid drip freely from his claws. The bear paid no mind as he continued to mutter about “arrogant puppies” and their “obnoxious mannerisms.” Sesshomaru, knowing an opportunity when he sees one, slashed the bear in the face with his claws. He smirked when the bear screamed in pain and terror as the poison ate away his flesh and promptly dropped the maiden. Sesshomaru caught her and set her safely on the ground. The maiden took a good look at him, and realized who she was looking at. It was him.   “Th. . . . th. . . . thank you,” said the awe-struck maiden.            & nbsp;“Hn,” was her reply. The maiden's eye twitched. This is the guy they sent me down here for! Heavens above! I've been gypped! I knew those Fates had a vendetta! It's not like I meant to set their hair on fire . . . I was just testing my new fireworks . . . not my fault their window was right there! It was an accident . . . mostly . . .            &nb sp;Suddenly, her thoughts were interrupted when the injured bear tried to slice her and Sesshomaru in half.            ;  “Son of a bitch! Look at what you've done!” The bear yelled. The pair looked up. The toxins from Sesshomaru destroyed all his flesh and left only bone on the side of his face. “Wow, no wonder you're pissed,” muttered the maiden. The bear growled.          &n bsp;  “Everyone attack!” The rest of the bears charged the two. The maiden screeched prepared for impact. Sesshomaru only grimaced.             ; “This is getting quite tedious. I shall end this now.” Sesshomaru unleashed his Poison Whip and obliterated them all. Then, he simply got up, brushing the invisible dust off his backside. The maiden opened her closed eyes and looked around. All that was left of the Earth Bears was ashes. “Daaaaaaaanm,” whispered the maiden. She looked up to Sesshomaru and smiled.            & nbsp;“You can do some serious damage can't you?” Sesshomaru walked away. The maiden furrowed her brow in confusion.           &nbs p; “Where are you going?” She asked. Still, she got no response. “Hey I'm talking to you! Can't you hear me?! Come back here you arrogant, egotistical, snobby puppy!”           & nbsp;  Sesshomaru stopped walking. Hehe that got his attention, the maiden thought smugly. Suddenly, she found herself three feet off the ground, by the neck, looking into a pair of very angry and very cold, amber eyes.            &nb sp;“Listen to me wench,” hissed a very nettled Inu Taiyoukai, “Don't, now or ever, call me a puppy. Is that understood?” The maiden nodded her head in agreement. “Good.” He promptly dropped her and began to walk away. The maiden rubbed her sore neck and glared at Sesshomaru, hoping under her rage-filled gaze, he would spontaneously combust.              “You know, you can't set me on fire just by staring at me,” the guilty party said over his Mokomoko-sama. The woman continued to glare.”You wanna bet?”           &nb sp; Sesshomaru smirked and turned around. Usually he would kill anyone who would be so bold, but he found her defiance refreshing. “You are injured. You will accompany me to my palace and get help.” The maiden scoffed.              “You actually think that after being almost killed by freaking bears and almost being strangled to death, that I would follow a complete stranger to their home?”           &n bsp; “Actually, I do.”           &nbs p; “Well you thought right!” The maiden stood up, causing Sesshomaru's eyes to widen slightly in surprise. Besides the fact her kimono was torn beyond decency, she had large, shimmery black wings sprouting out her back.            &nb sp;“Well, what are we waiting for? Are we going to your palace or not?”           &nb sp; “Hn.”              Sesshomaru resumed walking and she followed. He looked back at her, her pale skin glowing in the soft moonlight. She was a gorgeous woman, he'd give her that much.            &nb sp;Would he ever tell anyone that?            &nb sp;Hell no!              ;Sesshomaru mentally sighed. As he gazed at the great pearl called the Moon, there was only one question on his usually sure and doubt-free mind:            &nb sp;                         &nb sp;      Why did I save this woman?   A/N: Yes I'm back! Happy! Happy! Joy! Joy! Hope you like! Oh yeah! I found Sesshomaru. . .in Hawaii. I was going to kill him, but then he gave me clothes, so I'm happy. Anyways, you cannot tell anyone I found him. He's still wanted and now he's got the Feds after him. Huh, dogs. Whatever, just review. Live. Love. Kick ass. You should know who it is. Seriously you should. You're reading my story after all.
