"Ah." He said as he looked at her. His great voice would bring anyone else to their knees. His voice made the earth tumble with how powerful it was. But it did nothing to Lady Kasumi. She was just disgusted with him.
"I thought I killed all of you. Bakeneko." He said. He waited to see her tumble in fear. She was after all the last of her clan.
She could feel the angry and rage build up inside of her, she also felt an unimaginable amount of disgust towards this demon. She didn't want this demon to know that's how she felt though, because it would be a weakness. She also didn't want these feelings to swallow her up, and let her emotions take control of the situation, because she would find herself dead, quickly.
"If you missed me, I wonder how many others you missed?" Lady Kasumi said. She smirked. Apart of her angry was showing with this comment.
"Oh?" Said the demon. He said nothing after that. He had closed his great eyes just after he said that. He was searching inside of him for something, but what could he be searching for? Lady Kasumi stood there floating in front of him still, she watched this demon. She was curious to see what he was about to do.
Lady Kasumi could have attacked then with an opening. But knowing those great arms of his haven't been subdued and how close she was to him, it wouldn't take much for him to strike and kill her. Lady Kasumi also could sense Inuyasha and the others making there way to her, so she knew her weapons were coming. Which is something she needed.
As she thought about what to tell the others, the demon opened his eyes and his mouth. "I figured out how I missed you." He said. "Foolish me." These words were meant as a taunt to her. "If you want I can tell you what I figured out." he said as his great tongue came out of his mouth. His tongue tried to wrap itself around Lady Kasumi.
Lady Kasumi used her claws. Her nails made contact with his tongue. This time it was poisonous that touched his tongue. The giant demons tongue retracted into his mouth.
"I feel energy from inside of me. It seems to hate you even now. I have allowed it to speak in my head, and this voice has filled me in on who you are, and why you probably lived. This voice hates the fact that you lived. It also hates the fact that even now you try and face me. Tell me Lady Kasumi, Why are you even facing me? Do you long to die?" The demon said. Again with his taunting voice.
Who was consulting with this demon? And if so, why did they hate Lady Kasumi so much, even now. Surely her family wouldn't allow its thoughts to be accessed by this demon. So who was filled with so much hate? It was her family that decided to speak to with the demon, her family was still motivated by hate. They also were leading this energy and knowledge to this demon.
"Oh? What is this? Now I understand them. You're a traitor." He said. This demon enjoyed this game he was playing. He wanted to break down Lady Kasumi before he killed her. He was on a path of destruction and the more people suffered before they were killed the stronger he would become. "They tell me you allied yourself with the enemy. They also told me their plan that would have killed me. If you hadn't ruined it that is. Even more interesting they've told me that you ended up being disowned and they also tortured you. And they tell me now it sickens them to see you. They don't want to be avenge by your hand."
Avenge them? Lady Kasumi thought. This made her scoff. She didn't want to avenge the very people who let this demon go free. She wanted to just get rid of this demon. She had no plans of avenging the ignorance of her family. Knowing even now that they spoke to this demon, and she could still hear the pride.
Lady Kasumi was playing a similar game to this demon. She wanted him to feel like he was in control and he was destroying her. What he didn't know is that she was waiting, and she would spring her trap soon. When she used her claws on his tongue it embedded a venom. The venom would only let him be able to pick up on the smell of her. So in a way he was blinded to smell or sense any other presents coming there way.
"Are you now scared?" He asked. Lady Kasumi just looked into his eyes.
She could now sense Inuyasha and the others extremely close. And she was now ready to attack this demon.
"No" She said, She moved quickly behind him, with a blink. The demon turned around and grimaced at her. He was no longer interested in telling her stories. He was no angry. Foolish. He thought to himself. He lunged his arms two arms forward trying to get a grip on her, But Lady Kasumi was already ahead of him. She jumped out of the way, and chuckled, she was still floating.
The chuckle got under the demon's skin. He lunged forward again, his red aura was glowing, and lava escaped its self to the surface.The earth made a sizzling noise as the soil disappeared and all that was seen was lava. The scent of the rot filled up the area. It smelled horrid. He was burning up the earth as he tried to catch Lady Kasumi. Lady Kasumi just kept dodging him. She hadn't attacked him yet. At this point she was just defending herself.
Lady Kasumi decided she was going to attack, and just as she did she saw Inuyasha and the others just getting there. The demon haven't seen them yet. Which is what Lady Kasumi count on. Lady Kasumi smirked again. It was a signal for the others though. Kagome and Miroku quickly got on Kirara, they hadn't even accessed what was going on. They could see the rot on the ground and they decided it was best to be up in the air. Just like Lady Kasumi was. they circled themselves behind the great demon. It was huge. The floating arms where just in sight for them to see. They both stared with there mouths open. This demon was huge and it had two arms, both were different. They suspected both had different powers. They were correct.
"How does she plan on taking this on?" Miroku said to Kagome. Kagome had shook her head, she had no clue. This might even be too big for Inuyasha.
Inuyasha was on the ground, he had his sword out and he was ready. Lady Kasumi was surprised because he didn't make a sound. How unusual for him. Lady Kasumi sprung her body forward with her claws out. She was out for the attack. As she did she created a wave of wind from her claws, they shot forward smashing into the demon. The wind was coated with venom. The wound was inflected on the bone hand. The demon chucked as its body healed.
"Bakeneko. This is just trivial. You should know that these hands can't be damaged by your claws. No matter how many times you tried. My body will heal its self over and over again. Its bone. You can not kill what is already dead." He said.
The marks no longer existed but, the venom took. She smirked. "I know." She said. She was rather pleased with the connection her claws made with the bones. She could see the venom, the demon didn't. Neither did anyone else. With the venom setting in, the demon had already tried to strike her. But again she dodged.
"Quit your dodging. Just die already!" The demon roared.
Lady Kasumi continued dodging.
Lady Kasumi put her hand in her sleeve and pulled out something. There wasn't much time to make out the shape, or what it was. Lady Kasumi had already tossed it forward towards the demon's arm. As this object passed the demons arm, it glowed. It wasn't clear yet what Lady Kasumi was doing. She just tossed a object at him, and it didn't even hit him. Had she lost it? The demon thought so.
"What a pathetic throw." He started to laugh. "You're parents are so angry right now." He stated. As the demon gloated, he didn't notice what was going on, until the light appeared. She was busying changing him. When she used her claws to attack his bone arm, she was using it to mark him. At that point she had him. When the stone she had tossed went by his bone arm, it started to work. She had used her venom to inject the demon with her spell.
One of special skills the bakeneko has is to bring back the dead, this was more meant to create an army of her own, but she had figured out to use her skill in a different way.
"Its working." She thought to herself. She smirked. The hand was becoming re-animated, along with the arm. The arm and hand was being covered in the bodies and skin of those that had became apart of his arm. There was lesser demons, along with the humans. She also had all of these creatures at her disposable.
Just as the arm and hand became "alive" again. She quickly order those that she summoned to do one thing, that one thing was to present itself west. The west was where Inuyasha was standing. She had hope that would be enough of a hit for him to use his sword and attack the arm. As the arm moved and presented itself west the demon turned around too. He saw Inuyasha standing there with his sword, and he also saw the humans floating on kirara.
"You little..." The demon said. And just as he was about to speak, Lady Kasumi cut him off. She spoke in stand. She no longer wanted to hear his words. In fact, she wanted to speak.
"My families plan would have worked, if they hadn't planned to back stab the other side they allied themselves with. They are the traitors. If they are apart of you now, then when I kill you, they will also be destroyed." Lady Kasumi said.. "I however will not make the same mistakes as my family made. I allied myself with the great dog demons son. And I will uphold that agreement." As she said that Inuyasha took that as his cue and he struck the ground with his Dragon scaled Tessiga. The demons aura dissipated from the once bone arm as the blow came charging at him. Inuyasha sword had ripped the great demons arm off. The arm broke up into pieces and they fell into the lava.
* * *
Sesshomaru was moving closer to the area where Lady Kasumi was fighting with the demon already. He could sense them fighting. He also could sense Inuyasha. But he didn't care, he kept moving forward.
It wasn't to hard for Sesshomaru to find his way to them, he just followed the path the big headed demon created.
"Kasumi?" He thought to himself as he kept moving. Why does this name even linger in his mind? He wondered. He fought against her, and she was strong. But she also was stubborn. He never really exchanged words with her either. The only real time that he heard her spoke was the day that she arranged to see his father. Sesshomaru had shown up with his father.
When the meeting was over, Sesshomaru's father told him he was in the debt of this young Bakeneko. But that never made much sense. After she had left the meeting that she had with the great dog demon, they heard news that she was locked away as a traitor. Which Sesshomaru wasn't surprised to hear. One of the most surprising things he heard was when his father asked him to accompany him for a mission. The Mission had turned into they were going to intersect the great demon that was making its way to the village. They were to go there and take her away. Sesshomaru sighed with disbeilf with his father, and he asked why.
"Honor my son. Honor." his father said. With that His father walked away and Sesshomaru followed. They did end up going to were Kasumi was being held. But that was shortly after the great demon had already gotten into the fortress and was going after the other bakeneko's. Sesshomaru and his father had spilt up, and Sesshomaru had found her. She was shaking in the corner of a cell. The roof had been broken away, and there was some damage to the inside that showed that the great demon had already broken into there. But the great demon also left her alive.
Lady Kasumi was in the corner and her eyes were huge, she was shaking furiously. This was a look on her face he never saw before. She was also very tiny, and looked like she hadn't been feed, her body was marked up from the torture her family caused her. And she had a fresh wound on her. On the very spot her present day tattoo was. She also barely had clothes on.
Sesshomaru picked her up and held her really closely to him. This place, the fortress, her kin, made him sick to his stomach. It also angered him. With that he left the fortress quickly. When he got out of the fortress. He didn't stop until he found a spot that he felt was safe enough. He couldn't sense the demon as close anymore. He then placed her on the ground. She was already a sleep.
Sesshomaru then hung out waiting for his father, he kept a close eye on her. This was a mission he was doing with his dad, and he wanted to know what he was to do next.
Sesshomaru's father showed up, he looked tired. He let out a sigh and then felt relief that Sesshomaru had found her. Sesshomaru's father went up to her and knelt down. He looked at her wounds. They were really bad. He also could tell she was dehydrated and she hadn't eaten in awhile.
"Shes weak" Sesshomaru said. He wasn't looked at his father or her.
"I know she is." Sesshomaru's father responded. He pulled out a sack of belongs he grabbed for her. "But she will live." he added.
Sesshomaru's father looked down at her. He had fetched her some belongs that will help her recover. They started to dress her wounds. Once her wounds were dress, he pulled out a kimono from his sleeve. It wasn't from the fortress he picked up somewhere's else. He laid it over her.
He also had gotten Kasumi some fish too. Sesshomaru's dad then sat on the ground beside her.
"I'm going to stay by her side tonight." His father said. "You can leave if you wish my son."
Sesshomaru stayed, but he stood up in a tree. He watched her recovery slowly, and when Kasumi was ready to be on here own, the both of them stopped visiting her.
Since then Sesshomaru hadn’t thought about her. Until now, with Rin appearing in front of her, and the scent of Kasumi. As he searched for Kasumi and he picked up the scent from that demon, and the blatant path that was set out for him. He felt like this was an invitation. His father wouldn’t allow him to fight this demon before, and now that Sesshomaru is older and wiser and stronger he felt like this fight would be even more interesting. Maybe he could also slay this demon single handed.
