A Little Pain

Chapter XI

Prompt: A Little Pain (Stella’s soundtrack challenge)

          “Heh, I’m disappointed in you Inuyasha…”Kikyou was interrupted by a now angry Sesshomaru.

          “Why you….you’re mistaking me for someone else! I’m not this Inuyasha person!” But Kikyou wasn’t buying it.

          “Go stuff it! No other male smells this disgusting except…” she trailed off as for the first time she caught Sesshomaru’s scent. “You’re not Inuyasha…”

          Sesshomaru huffed. “Get it now! My name is Sesshomaru!”

          Kikyou huffed herself, muttering. “Inuyasha is much braver and more handsome, anyway.”

          Before Sesshomaru could remark, one of the villagers was thrown at his feet. Then he was suddenly grabbed by the centipede woman he had almost forgotten about. “Let go of me!” he yelled, grabbing onto the vines pinning Kikyou to the tree.

          Kaede stood shocked as she watched the interaction between Sesshomaru and Kikyou. “Kaede-sama…Kikyou is…” the stunned villager trailed off as he tow watched the interactions at Kaede’s side.

          Kikyou has awoken; she thought still not believing the sight before her. That seal ought to remain unbroken for eternity…So how?

          Back at the tree, Mistress Centipede was growing tired from the struggles of her prey. “This body…is troublesome. I’ll devour you whole…Shikon no Tama and all.”

          Sesshomaru couldn’t believe his ears, “Wha…”

          Kikyou on the other hand was thinking about what she had said, Shikon no Tama!

          Sesshomaru, having enough of being tugged around, threw out his arm intending to shove her away; but a bright flash of light came instead melting the arms of the demon that held him. “Stop it!” he fell to the ground staring at the now armless demon before him thinking, the same thing…that happened in the well…

          The villagers too were puzzled by what had just happened. It looked like the powers of a priest…

          How is it that…I can do this sort of thing, Sesshomaru thought looking at his hands. He was so distracted that he didn’t see the armless demon sneaking up on him until it was too late.

          “Bastard!” a pissed female voice hissed, right before she sank her teeth into Sesshomaru’s die. Blood sprayed from the wound in his side as a pink crystal like object was thrown into the air.

          “Something came out of him!” one villager yelled.

          “The Shikon no Tama!” Kaede gasped out shocked.
