Only In My Fantasy: Chapter 1

.............................................................................................

'What is the purpose of I, Lord Sesshoumaru's presence?' With arrogant grace Sesshoumaru jumped closer and closer to his western border. 'This is useless...A waste of this Sesshoumaru's time...' And yet boredom and curiosity pushed him forward. Naraku knew that the great lord's power could easily destroy him; but he had the nerve to summon the lord to his own border? 'Arrogant fool....He will soon know his mistake.'

The battle was not going as planned... Miroku- as skilled at the staff as he was- was being pushed back. Sango-fully armored and powerful as ever- stood on Kilala with unparalleled grace, razor sharp boomerang flung weightlessly through the air with fatal precision. But there were too many demons...clusters and walls all flinging at her frail mortal body. Not that she was thinking of herself... "Miroku!" she cried as she forced her way closer.

Inuyasha was fairing no better...Naraku's tentacles flew at him speedily and slammed into his sword with demonic strength. Growling in frustration the hanyou sliced more tentacles with the power of the wind scar; but he wasn't even making a scratch upon the real target. There were just too many. 'Where is that wench? We need her damn it!'

Kagome hummed softly as she finished her specialty homemade lunches. Small cutely cut sausages... softly fried eggs... tasty fish and other sweet goodies all bundled and arranged into nice tins. It was almost fun to prepare them for her feudal Japan friends. They were always so happy and enchanted by her food. Her brother was always so cynical... 'He should appreciate my food more.... He is just spoiled.' She convinced herself idly. Sure her friends hadn't ever had any other cooked food from her era that she hadn't prepared- unlike her brother- but that didn't matter.

The sun was high in the sky...shining brightly on the industrialized city as the breeze stopped its heat from baking them alive. It was beautiful. She carried the lunches in one hand and held a back pack strap in the other she was totally prepared...

As soon as she passed through the well the demons sprung....her sweet scent and food drawing them away from her surprised comrades. Sesshoumaru watched with mild interest as Inuyasha's group went through their little drama of having their little woman attacked. 'Foolish hanyou can't even protect his weak human bitch...'

"Kagome!!?" Inuyasha cried...he tried to pull away from the battle with Naraku but the barrage of attacks weren't stopping and he couldn't out run them. Going after Kagome would mean his death and consequently everyone else's. 'Damn it Kagome, always the best timing?!' Forgetting his previous thought easily.

Kagome's eyes widened in fear....'What do I do?' She paused briefly before she caught a glimpse of Sango, Miroku and Inuyasha all under attack as well and felt shame send goose bumps down her legs. She was the weakest and a bit squeamish and was going to just jump back down the well... but...'I can't leave them! I am a part of this group too!!'

She was prepared....Her arrow drawn immediately with the speed of a past life of experience. With a single shot she wiped out a good sum of her attackers...leaving the fake appearance of a harmless pink strip. Drawing and releasing as quickly as possible she made her way to Inuyasha... 'If I can get Naraku than Inuyasha can kill these raw numbers easily... I can do it!!' Sure enough her arrows tore through demons with ease and before long she was in range...

"Naraku!!!" She cried with effort as she aimed and fired...Wind blowing her skirt and hair dangerously. He threw his tentacles in the way as if their evil aura would stop it....Purity ripped through the miasma sinews straight to the heart. "Shit!" cried Inuyasha as the demon turned into nothing but a wood doll.

"Naraku! You will die by my hands!" he crushed the doll into dust as he seethed. Turning immediately he tore into the remaining -retreating- demons with his bare hands; blood spurting everywhere. Sango and Miroku paused to watch the hanyou in surprise.

"Uh...Inuyasha....They are retreating..." taunted Miroku timidly. Inuyasha unsheathed his sword angrily...Sending a glowing streak after demons in the distance. "Naraku makes me so ...." He said broke off shakily. Kagome peered at him curiously...'Why is he so angry?'

Sesshoumaru was about to leave...utterly disappointed. There was nothing he hadn't seen. The only thing of interest was the miko's power; the raw strength of her arrows was incredible for a human, but he had seen- experienced it before- she had grown in strength but that wasn't a reason to pull him from his castle. 'Traveling with my irresponsible brother will force her to fend for herself....' His thoughts trailed off as Naraku showed up a good distance away from him, the sweet scent of poison pestering the lord's nose. "Glad you could make it Lord Sesshoumaru. I am guessing you didn't like the show?"

"Why did you call me here Naraku? Do you truly wish to die today?"

"I merely have come to inform you."

Sesshoumaru waited for him to continue...But he didn't. However a feminine scream perked his ears. He turned toward the group very aware that Naraku was still staring at him with sick pleasure of his satanic work. Not that he cared of course.

Sesshoumaru's eyes widened as Tetsaiga was knocked from his unworthy half brother's hands by another puppet of Naraku. All was quiet...Even the wind stilled for a moment before shifting ominously. 'His blood has changed... It smells more like a demon's... A pure demon's.' Inuyasha's body shook as he roared, with a single strike he slit the demon in half... laughing in sick pleasure at the blood. His brother's frequent transformations were now detectable... his power had grown...

Sesshoumaru turned to Naraku arrogantly..."What is it you are showing me? How is this relevant?"

"There is a secret to Inuyasha's new gain of strength... If you want it come back here tomorrow."

"This Sesshoumaru needs no secret. Impetuous fool... Now you will die." Claws lengthened as Sesshoumaru stalked forward.

Naraku smirked and disappeared into a cloud of miasma... "The question is do you want Inuyasha to keep it?"

"Coward." Sneered Sesshoumaru with disgust.
