The two people in question were actually a pair of demons named Inuyasha and Sesshomaru. They were brothers, okay they were half-brothers, and if you called them anything else around Sesshomaru, then you’d probably end up with your organs on the outside of your body.
Now, if your wondering exactly how they got into this mess, well it all started a day earlier…
-Yesterday 2006-
The streets of Tokyo were crowded as some school named Kagome Higurashi walked down the street while listening to the sound of an ipod playing in her ear so loudly she could barely hear the bumper to bumper traffic. She was on her way to her friend Yuka’s house when…
Ahem!
It all started a day earlier, IN THE EDO PERIOD
-Yesterday (if we were living in the Edo period that is)-
Fuu tried to stop the feeling of absolute disgust from taking her over as she looked at the group of losers sitting in their usual spot across the room. Why the hell did they have to come in here? There were tons of better places to eat and get drunk at in the town. The moron that was the leader of the group, and the son of the corrupt governor no less, probably thought hanging out in a dank hole like this and terrorizing the usual customers made them look cool or something.
Yeah, that was probably it.
As the petite waitress finished collecting the empty glasses on the table she was cleaning up, another man walking into the place erased all of her concerns about the rowdy bunch of punks, and replaced them with some real worries.
He was a demon, the fact he had long white hair all the way down his back and the dog-ears on top of his head were a dead giveaway. Maybe he was a half-demon, at least that what Fuu was hoping for. Demons didn’t go to human restaurants that much, and they usually ate the help more often than the actual food.
Well, better get this over with, Fuu told herself before walking up to the dog demon as he sat at a bench. “What would you like to order sir?”
Inuyasha looked up from his seat and placed his Tetsaiga next to him. He didn’t much like having to come into a human run place like this, but there wasn’t a river or lake around for a few miles, and he was hungry. The dog demon just leaned back in his seat before finally addressing the girl. “Gimmie some water.”
Fuu flinched at the order and looked over to the owners of their little rest stop. When she saw them give a shake of their heads, the girl backed away from the demon in front of her for what she hoped would be a head start if he got angry. “I-I’m sorry sir, but we only serve paying customers. You’ll have to order some food if you want something to drink.”
Seeing that the guy didn’t quite like that little bit of information, Fuu quickly closed her eyes and tried to hide her face behind the glasses she was holding for some protection.
-Meanwhile across town-
“Get out of the way peasant,” a green skinned demon in samurai armor shouted as he kicked a poor farmer to the ground. Behind him, another two demons in armor stood in front of a large and extravagant rickshaw with a fat human sitting inside.
On the other side of the street a small crowed of spectators watched as the farmer was man handled by the other two demons and whispered among themselves in quiet tones. All except one of them that is. He stood at the back of the crowd with two swords hanging at his side and a scowl hidden under his white hair.
Sesshomaru resisted the urge to growl in irritation at the crowd of people in his path. He couldn’t simply kill them. A few days ago he had picked up the scent of his worthless half-brother, and having nothing better to do at the moment, Sesshomaru thought that he should finally get around to chopping that worthless branch off his family tree.
As another minute passed by, the demon’s patience for lesser beings finally ran out and he pushed his way through the crowd to see what the hold-up was. The Sesshomaru’s nose and ears had told him that some weaker demons were doing something to some idiot human than got in their way, but slaughtering one of those creatures shouldn’t be taking that long.
When the dog demon finally made his way through the crowd, he discovered what the holdup was. The demons he had smelled earlier were a trio of minor creatures that usually lived in the hills to the North. They were a green skinned tribe of demons that had lipless mouths that took up more than half their disfigured faces and six inch yellow teeth.
Sesshomaru frowned at the demons. Demons serving humans was probably one of the only things that actually got under his skin more than Inuyasha. It went against all the laws of nature! Demons killed humans, they ate humans, terrorized humans, ruled over humans, and maybe… occasionally, kept one around that happened to sing a lot of nonsensical songs and played with flowers… but that was it!
Well, I suppose I could take a moment before heading on, he rationalized. Inuyasha had probably picked up his scent by now anyway, and Sesshomaru could always just chase his brother down if he ran.
