Chapter 9: Taming the Flames

 

“Where did she go?” Kagome called.
“Not far…I can still smell the burning scent…” Inu-yasha began. The group narrowly dodged the fireball that came whizzing towards them. The flame creature roared at them preparing to attack a second time. Inu-yasha unsheathed the Tetsusaiga.
“WIND SCAR!!”
The force of the wind pushed it back, forcing it to the ground.
“Careful Inu-yasha!!” Kagome cried.
“Yeah I know!” He growled as the group followed the creature’s descent. They landed on a barren plain overlooking a cliff. The flame monster snarled at them.
“Everyone, stay behind me!” Inu-yasha advised.
“Fawks-chan! If that’s you please wake up!!!!” Kagome cried. The monster roar, flames shooting out at them. Inu-yasha blocked with the Tetsusaiga.
“Fawks-chan! Snap out of it! We’re not your enemies!!” He yelled. Fawks roared again, preparing to attack.
“As tactful as ever, little brother…”
Inu-yasha snarled, turning to glare at Sessho-maru as he invaded the scene. He paused gazing idly at the being of fire.
“Beautiful…” he purred.
“What the hell do you mean by that?! What did you do to her, Sessho-maru?!” Inu-yasha demanded. Sessho-maru said nothing, approaching the creature audaciously.
“What’s he doing? In the state she’s in now, Fawks-chan could roast him alive…” Miroku whispered.
“That is where you are wrong, monk” Sessho-maru said nonchalantly. “For I am the only one she will obey”
The creature gave a warning growl, holding her ground.
“Undo your transformation” he stated simply. Fawks snarled baring her fangs.
“I am your alpha, you will obey me” Sessho-maru said, his tone deadly. Fawks froze in place, the flames vanished as if sucked away by some invisible force leaving her naked and barely standing. Sessho-maru caught her as she fell, cradling her against his fur.
“Is she…?” Kagome began as the group advanced.
“She is alright now” Sessho-maru replied retrieving a firerat robe from inside his armor and proceeding to drape it around Fawks’ nude form.
“What did you do to her, Sessho-maru?” Inu-yasha commanded. “She spends one night with you and she comes back all crazy!”
“You flatter me” Sessho-maru smirked, lifting the unconscious girl into his arms.
“You know what we mean!” Kagome spoke up.
“I have merely brought out her true nature is all…”
“…You can’t mean…” Sango gasped.
“Fawks-chan is a demon”
A shocked silence fell over the group.
“Whaddya mean ‘demon’? She wasn’t a demon before” Inu-yasha began.
“I’m sure the demon slayer can explain it to you” Sessho-maru replied.
“Sango?”
“…it is said that there are some demons who only realize their power after mating. They can go through their entire lives as no more then human. I’ve heard of newlyweds being killed on their wedding night by their recently turned demon spouses” Sango explained. The group stood in shocked silence, Sessho-maru turned his back to them, beginning to leave.
“Where the hell are you taking her?!” Inu-yasha barked.
“Back to the castle, she is under my protection now”
“Like hell she is!” Inu-yasha snarled drawing Tetsusaiga, “There is no way in hell I’m letting you take Fawks-chan!!”
“And what will you do the next time she goes on a rampage?” Sessho-maru shot back. Inu-yasha faltered.
“I grow tired of pointing out the stupidity in your reasoning, little brother. For the time being, it is not safe to expose Fawks-chan to the mortal public. I am the only one who can tame her”
Inu-yasha snorted, knowing his brother was right.
“…Then…Please, take good care of her!” Kagome began stepping forward. Tears began to well within her eyes. “She’s my best friend…more like a sister, really. I just want her to be happy…”
Sessho-maru nodded, “Very well, Miko”
With that, he leapt into the sky, disappearing towards the west.
