Chapter 1: Night

Sesshoumaru stared into the nights brisk sky. No birds were flying. No sounds were herd. Things seemed to be perfect for sleeping. Winter was approacheing quickly, the air was cold. Not a scary cold, a clam, cool, mint cold. That made you want to snuggel up with a friend.
A faint song came about and woke Sesshoumaru's sences. It was most likely not a thret. A breeze ruseled his hair. He wented back to gazeing into the sky. The moon was bright and full. It almost looked as if it were what was makeing the music.
Suddenly a beam of light ziped past him. He slowly pulled out Tokagin, his sword. He saw nothing.
"No! Lady Saoukai! Lady Saoukai!" Voices cried from above. Sesshoumaru glanced up but saw nothing."Lady Saoukai!!! NO!!!" The voices continued. It was strange, he herd the cries for this 'Lady Saoukai' but only one voice. If she was imporntent enough to hold a title infront of her name, surely if something was going rong many people would be tenceand worried.

The night crept deeper and Sesshoumaru found himself getting sleepy. "I have not felt this tired in more than fifty yeasrs..." He said, yawning. He dozed off under a sakura tree that had no flowers on it. The night was so peacefull.Prehaps the only part of day that you could let your mind be set free and wonder.

Suddenly a young maiden fell from the hevens down. Sesshoumaru woke up right befor she hit the ground. not a bruse was on her plae skin. She jumped up and baled her fists. "Who are you...?!" He demanded. "Dont address ME that way skum!" She hollered. Sesshoumaru grew angry. He stood up and drew his sword. She charged at him with all of her might and barely missed. He turned around and held Tokagin infront of him. "Dragon..." He whispered. A sharp blue light appered in the fourm of a dragon. It ingulfed the woman. Smoke flew in all directions. When it cleared she was still standinging there. "Is that your best...Pathetic!" She yelled. She clasped her hands together and Sesshoumaru suddenly fell to his knees. A strong force held him still. "Thats better..." She whispered. She tugged out a sword of her own and flung her jet black hair out of her face. She dashed foward and stabed him in his shoulder. "Enough of this foolishness...!" He comanded and broke free of the force. "You are a very stubborn woman. Give in. I will kill you otherwise." Sesshoumaru looked down apon her in his words. She droped her wepon. "Hn..You give up..?" He asked. She spoke no words but held her hands out infront of her. "No...I never give up. I simply wish not to fight. It's late. Rest is needed for the both of us. We shall continue tomorow." She proposed. Sesshoumaru hough about hat. Rest would help him have more energey. He relucently nodded. He walked away. When he turned around to see if she was there, she was gone. He walked over to a tree and sat down beneth it.
Right as he started to doze off a light snow begaun to fall.
Above the tree he was under was that woman. She was resting in the branches.

Tomorow would be an unforgetable day. Two youkai, as strong as could be, would battle.
