The Time Machine by feistykittykat

Asking for Help

It's me again. I'm back with a new fic. I know, I haven't finished my first fic. But I can't wait!! The idea has been in my head almost as long as "My Last Duchess" has been. This one might be a bit little weird. But, I'm working towards it to make it not weird. Hope you guys like it.

Disclaimer: Well, my kindergarten teacher said I am worth one million dollars... if I sold my name to you, would that be ok? *innocent puppy eyes*

*lawyers shake heads*

....FINE! Keep the damn hanyou! ...how about Sesshoumaru?

* ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ *

Sesshoumaru flew through the part of his land that was named after his idiotic brother, Inuyasha's Forest. His usually snow white haori was now covered with his own blood, and his impregnable armor was now adorned with cracks and dime-sized holes. His clean right hand clutched at an old, worn out parchment, while his bloodied left hand pressed against his stomach wound. Drumbeats that sounded vaguely like his heart working overtime echoed in his head. With his superior youkai senses, he knew he was surrounded by low level youkai; high level enough to have attained a humanoid form and developed speech patterns yet low level enough to be no concern of. That is, unless they have banded together. And in this case, they have.

Sesshoumaru mentally scolded himself for his carelessness. By being too occupied in keeping Rin [and Jaken] safe, Sesshoumaru hadn't noticed the surrounding youkai closing in on his person's position. Before he can react, Sesshoumaru found himself with a new opening to his stomach. Sesshoumaru let out a soft growl at the memory of this rather embarrassing incident. The Great Inuyoukai Lord of the West, injured by a mere low level youkai that he could kill with a twitch of his finger.

The further Sesshoumaru flew, the closer he got to this particularly offending smell that seemed to have permeated the air. Sesshoumaru could not believe his luck, yet he was cursing for all he's worth. His half brother's rag tag group lies about half a mile ahead, resting and rejuvenating from their long journey, or at least the humans are. Maybe this Sesshoumaru should crash into my idiot half brother and his group so they can fend off these imbeciles that keeps following me while this Sesshoumaru regenerate, then I can... no! I won't! I'm the Lord of the Western Lands! This Sesshoumaru did not get to where I am today from running! I was a fool to think like that! Sesshoumaru quickly changed his course before his half brother Inuyasha could detect him. But what Sesshoumaru didn't know was that his blood scent has already alerted the hateful hanyou.

The sun was shining through the treetops and sunray columns could be seen shining through the leaves. The lush green forest swayed happily to the warm breeze. The evergreen grass sparkled and was glittered with little white daisies. In the middle of the forest, an unlikely group was traveling together. The group consisted of a hanyou, two human females, a human male, a nekoyoukai and a kitsune youkai child. Currently they were resting in a clearing in the forest, or rather, the humans were resting and the kitsune and the neko were chasing each other around while the hanyou leaned on a branch in a tall tree.

The hanyou lifted his head higher to sniff at the breeze. His silver-gray hair floating gently to the wind, his blood red haori wrapped around him like a protective cocoon. He took another sniff to confirm his suspicion before addressing the rest of the group.

"What's wrong, Inuyasha? Is there a demon coming this way?" asked the raven haired human female. Her honey brown eyes sparkled with concern and worry, while her indecent green outfit showed off her long, lean, and pale legs. On her shoulder perched the young kitsune demon, no more than three human years old in appearance, with a bushy light orange tail.

"Yes, Inuyasha. Is there something wrong?" asked the young youkai child.

"I'm surprised that you haven't smelled it yet, Shippo. That blood scent in the air, I think I know who it belongs to."

"Who does it belong to, Inuyasha?" asked the monk dressed in a purple robe with a staff while his lecherous right hand make its way silently towards the taijiya sitting next to him. The taijiya quickly glared at the perverted monk. Caught in the act red handed, the monk Miroku sweat dropped and then addressed the taijiya. "Sango, my dear, you look positively amazing today. Did you get a good night's sleep?"

The taijiya quickly turned back to the hanyou and repeated what the perverted monk had asked before attempting to grope her. "Inuyasha, whose blood is it?" The youkai child Shippo and the raven haired maiden Kagome waited the answer with anticipation.

Inuyasha let out a quick warning growl before answering. "Sesshoumaru."

Sesshoumaru leaped into another tree branch, but a youkai blocked his only means of escape. By now, the demon lord's hair sparkled brilliantly with his own bright red blood, tainting his long silver hair. Gashes and gaping wounds covered his muscular body, bleeding profusely all over his usually snow white haori. The inutaiyoukai struggled to stay awake and alert from the blood lost. Haunts and jeers were shouted at him from all over the forest, taunting him and his self defense ability. Sesshoumaru let his hand glow green for a moment before synthesizing enough poison to have conjured up his poison whip. However, due to his lack of blood and energy, the effort of producing the poison whip caused to be too great and earned him another wound to his back. Sesshoumaru whipped out his poison all around him before he could lose his concentration, thus killing some of the low level youkai. But as soon as the youkai died, more youkai stood up from the forest to take the dead ones' places.

There are too many of them! And I can't think with the blood lost... it's getting harder to breathe..., Sesshoumaru thought. It seems that I'll be seeing you real soon father.

Sesshoumaru uttered one more word before he was lost to the darkness that would slowly consume him. Help.

Oh...emm...gee...what's going to happen to Sesshoumaru?! Is he going to be ok? Why is he so stubborn?!

Yes, this chapter is kind of short. Sorry. I am studying for biology right now. Final is tomorrow. Yay for me! =] I know my stuff enough to write this chapter, but now I have to get back to tutoring my friend.

Review and rate and next chapter will come soon. Same with My Last Duchess. Rate and review!!
