Tori the Hanyou: Cool! Chappie 5! I know there's gonna b a bunch of other girls who like this one, considering the fact that it involves the certain older brother of a certain hanyou, if you still cant guess then you don't know Inuyasha. You ready everyone? It's . . .drum roll please . . . FLUFFY!

*Girls' screams heard in background

TTH: *Takes hands off of ears* Okay, now that that intro's done, let's get on with the next chapter!

***********VERY IMPORTANT!!! ********

I know I said that Miroku, Sango and Shippo would be coming with them, but I decided against it, since it would be too many people to keep up with, and Kagome can keep Kirara with her! I'll be mentioning Kirara a lot more now; sorry for those of you who got confused!!

DISCLAIMER: No

Fighting Back

Chapter 5: Meeting Sesshomaru

Kagome awoke to the sunlight peeking in from the trees surrounding their campsite. She looked over at her sleeping friends, and saw her bag moving. She opened it to let out the tiny cat demon inside.

"Sleep well?" she asked it. Kirara chirped in answer. Kagome smiled. She looked around the campsite, and saw Botan was up, looking for something. "What's up, Botan?" she asked.

"Oh, it's dreadful! My detector's gone missing! We can't locate those artifacts without it!" She checked in the bushes. "Oh, where could it be?" She suddenly turned and saw Kirara. "Oh! Is that your kitty?? Oh, it's sooo cute! Can I hold it?" she asked, completely forgetting the detector. Kagome sweat dropped.

"Umm, sure."

Tori had been awake for a while now, watching the sunrise. Turning her sharp ears behind her, she'd heard Botan and Kagome's conversation. She, too, knew that the detector was pretty vital to their journey. Kagome's priestess powers could detect the artifacts themselves, sure enough, but the detector had a much larger scanning range, meaning it could sense the artifacts farther away than Kagome's powers.

Suddenly, she saw a black speck heading towards her. Looking closer, she saw it was Hiei. She looked back at his tree branch, which was vacant. Hiei landed on the cliff near her and headed in towards camp. Tori noticed something in his hand, Botan's missing detector. She followed him.

"You know Botan's looking for that, right?" she asked.

"Like I care. I've located the last three artifacts," he answered smugly. Tori glared.

"That fast?" she asked suspiciously. He nodded, a triumphant look in his eyes. They went into camp, and Botan squealed.

"My detector!!" She raced over and took it, turning it on. "Lets see, where are the last . . .wait, this cant be right . . .all three artifacts are in the same place. That's odd . . ."

"That fast, huh?" asked Tori, turning to Hiei. He simply ignored her.

Kagome went and rolled up her sleeping bag, just as Yusuke came strolling into camp. Kurama came down from his branch; Kuwabara was woken up by Yusuke making a dog from the Boomerang (use your imaginations, kids), and after everyone had eaten something, they set out to find the last three artifacts.

After traveling for some time, Kagome began to notice that the forest grew very dark, and the trees seemed to close in around them. Tori was also picking up very strange scents. Kuwabara was getting the 'willies', and Yusuke, Kurama and Hiei were keeping their senses open. Botan was simply following her detector, paying no mind to the forest. Apparently, being the Grim Reaper had the effect that dark, creepy forests didn't get to her. Tori suddenly picked up one particular scent. It smelt familiar, but in a way it was altered. She followed behind Botan, who led the way into a large clearing.

"Hmm, it seems we're getting close," she said, peering down at her detector screen. "Hold on! They're coming closer, really, REALLY fast!"

As soon as the words left her mouth, a flash of white zipped into the clearing, skidding to a stop. Botan screamed, Kuwabara and Yusuke jumped, and Kagome hid behind Kurama. She didn't like Sesshomaru one bit. He stood tall, with his white kimono, and three familiar looking objects in his hands. One was the Weather Staff, and on the hand that held it, Sesshomaru wore the Blaze of Water Ring. In the other hand was the Ocarina of Peace. Tori snarled, suddenly stopping, as she smelt two more scents, one human, one was kind of like a toad; she couldn't quite figure it out.

Sesshomaru glared at them, particularly at Kurama and Hiei.

"Is there a reason why a bunch of humans, a demon, a spirit, and a half-breed are in my territory?" he asked. Tori perked up, so did Kagome. Half-breed? Kagome knew he only called Inuyasha that. But he wasn't here, was he? Kurama chuckled.

"Is that what you call half-demons? Not a very nice comment, I should think," he said. Kagome looked up at him. What was he talking about? Sesshomaru noticed Kagome.

"Well, if it isn't Inuyasha's wench," he smirked. Kagome hid back behind Kurama. Before anyone could blink, Sesshomaru was behind Kurama, and he had a grip on Kagome's wrist. She growled, kicking out with her foot, which Sesshomaru dodged. Kurama turned to him, getting out the rose-whip.

"Release her, she's done nothing wrong to you," he said. He particularly didn't like the fact that Sesshomaru had called Kagome 'Inuyasha's wench'. He didn't think Kagome deserved to be treated like property.

"I'll decided what to do here, half-breed," snapped Sesshomaru. Kagome's eyes widened. Kurama, a half-demon? Tori raised an eyebrow. Why didn't she smell it, then? Kurama smirked.

"I still don't think that's very nice language, but I must insist that you release her," he said.

"Or what?"

"Or I'LL do something about it!" said Tori angrily, stepping forward. She was getting slightly ticked off by this demon. He acted like a total primadonna. Yusuke also stepped up, the shock of Sesshomaru's entrance gone. He held up his fingers in the gun position. Sesshomaru snickered.

"Is this your army?" he asked Kurama. Kurama simply glared. "What a pathetic excuse for a fighting team, two overconfident teenagers, a harmless girl, and a mutt." Tori snarled.

"We're not just confident, you snobby hermaphrodite, we can back it up, too!" She drew out her claws, and called on her ligress. They'd have to work together to take this guy on; he looked tough, especially with three demon artifacts to give him a power-boost. Yusuke pointed his gun at Sesshomaru.

"SPIRIT GUN!"

*BAM!

The white beam of light took Sesshomaru by surprise, obviously, and knocked him off of Kagome. She quickly took out her bow and arrows from her bag, aiming one at Sesshomaru. Tori stood next to her, claws and fangs at the ready. Her tail had sprouted, to help her balance and stay on her feet. It was white with tiger stripes. It also helped her perform difficult stunts like flipping. Sesshomaru recovered from the shot, and straightened up. He extended his claws, too, and Tori could smell poison. Kuwabara went behind him to try and kick him from the back, but that proved worthless, since Sesshomaru simply grabbed him by the foot, swinging him into a tree. Botan flew up and hid in the branches to watch the fight.

Yusuke tried another Spirit Gun, but this time Sesshomaru was ready, and he leaped into the air at super-speed, reappearing next to Yusuke, scratching him across the right cheek.

Yusuke staggered backwards, clutching a hand across his injury, which was already starting to rot. Sesshomaru finished up the attack with an extremely hard punch in the stomach, and Yusuke fell.

"What a shame, I don't even have to use these nice weapons I found to beat you," said Sesshomaru. Tori launched a vicious attack at him as he made that comment. She was able to get her claws into what was left of his left arm, and sunk her teeth into his shoulder, avoiding his armor. Sesshomaru threw the Ocarina of Peace into the bushes, and used his free hand to stab Tori's shoulder. She gritted her teeth, making her bite harder. She swung around behind him, leaving his front wide open for one of Kagome's arrows. She shot, but Sesshomaru moved, just in time. The arrow struck him right below his heart, or where it should be. 'Damn,' thought Tori. Sesshomaru ripped her off of him and threw her into the bushes. Kagome shot another arrow, barely missing as Sesshomaru shot into the air, holding up the Weather Staff.

Suddenly, the sky darkened, and thunder clapped overhead. Sesshomaru pointed the staff at Tori's fallen form, and lighting flashed, heading straight towards her.

Hiei knew what he was about to do, and shot over, getting Tori out of the way just as a huge lightning bolt hit the spot where she'd originally been. Tori opened her eyes to see Hiei charge the dog demon, only to get swiped at, and missed. He was soon behind Sesshomaru, and he kicked him in the back of the head. Sesshomaru swung around, pointing the Blaze of Water Ring at him. A burst of fire spewed out, just missing the fire demon. He flew back, pointing his hand at the demon, and his own demonic fire was blasted in Sesshomaru's direction. Sesshomaru tired to use the Weather Staff to protect himself, but the fire simply went around it, and singed Sesshomaru, leaving the Staff in perfect condition. Apparently, it was fireproof.

Tori got up, shaking her head. She'd been thrown down, but she wasn't out. She shot at the dog demon as he attempted to attack Hiei, and went in for the close-range combat. She once more dug her claws into his other arm, reaching for the Weather Staff. Sesshomaru tried to throw her off again, but Hiei charged at him, followed by Kurama, who'd been waiting for the right time to come back in. He snapped the rose whip at Sesshomaru's good arm, digging the thorns into it. Hiei was within three meters of the demon, when Sesshomaru held up the Staff, and a lightning bolt came, striking Hiei down.
