I do not own Inuyasha, all rights and credit goes to Rumiko Takahashi!
"My lord the west is under attack," one of the western guard’s informed Sesshomaru as he gazed out the window into his private gardens.
His eyes slid towards the nervous sentry quickly. "Gather the troops and protect the palace until I am able to join you and the others,” he said, his face hard and his voice heated with anger. “Where is Jaken?" He asked momentarily."
“I passed him on my way here along the corridors my lord," the guard responded quickly.
Sesshomaru nodded and then proceeded to walk out the room. However, the guard stood rooted to his spot just inside the door. Sesshomaru gave him a quick glance as he passed him. “Leave now and prepare for battle,” he ordered gruffly.
“Yes my lord," was the tense reply.
As Sesshomaru walked down the corridors he came upon Jaken and halted. He looked at him briefly and sighed. "Jaken gather Rin and take her to Inuyasha’s village now."
Jaken sputtered. "But my lord why do you want…?"
"Silence!” he roared out at him, Jaken cringed with fear. The lord was more irritable today than his usual self, he thought. “You will do as I say without question, the palace is under attack," Sesshomaru finished off calmly.
Jaken trembled. "I'm sorry my lord please forgive me," he said, while groveling at his master’s feet.
Suddenly there were screams and explosions coming from outside. Alarmed, Sesshomaru turned on his heels and hurried outside to help his fellow troops. As he reached outside he saw carnage everywhere, and clearly they were outnumbered.
A frown creased his brows as he perused a troubling thought within himself. Why were holy people attacking his home?
Distracted by his thoughts; a human foolishly tried to sneak up on him. Abruptly he whirled on his attacker and growled. “Do you think me a weak demon to not know that you were there?"
The human stopped in his tracks and spat out angrily. "You demons must die; your kind is a disgrace to our world and to our leader Mizuki."
Mmmph, so their leader was a woman named Mizuki, he thought.
Sesshomaru faced the human fully now as he charged at him with his holy staff. As the man brought his staff down, Sesshomaru dodged to the right and plunged his hand into the right side of the human’s chest and held him.
“Where is your leader,” Sesshomaru demanded.
Coughing up blood the human responded with a laugh. “I will never betray my master.”
Sesshomaru’s eyes narrowed dangerously at him. “Speak or you die.”
"I will not repeat myself," the human answered bravely. “Do you really think that I will tell you…you dog! Haha haha,” he laughed, “we will win...right now" he said, while spitting up blood.
Then all of a sudden the man grabbed the arm embedded in his chest, holding onto it tightly. Sesshomaru did not resist the feeble hold on his arm; and then to his surprise, an explosive blinding light flashed across the area.

"Rin you stupid girl behave!" Jaken screamed.
“But master Jaken it's such a nice day out and we're going to see lady Kagome!" Rin said sweetly while prancing around.
Lord Sesshomaru is it that you hate me your most loyal servant to torture me with this stupid human? Jaken considered with watery eyes.
"Look master Jaken I see the village, and isn’t that lady Kagome picking herbs?" Rin exclaimed cheerfully, and darted towards Kagome.
"Rin stop, sto..?" Jaken began and started after Rin, but before he could finish he fell clumsily into the ground eating dirt.
As Rin continued to run towards her friend she began to wave and call out to her. "Lady Kagome, lady Kagome."
Kagome stopped what she was doing and looked up, she saw an excited young girl charging her way.
