Unraveling Witch

Disorder

We were just about to get to the castle by air when a large white dog flew at us. Immediately I dropped out of the sky. Dog fights, I had enough of them. I grabbed Jaken before I did. I guess him and Sesshomaru decided to bring the fight down.

"Lord Sesshomaru, in your absence I and the others have decided that you aren't fit to lead. Step down from your title and I'll let you live....maybe." His second in command and general declared becoming a man again.

"As if you take on the great and powerful Lord Sesshomaru! You should start begging for mercy!" Jaken yelled out. He was ignored and the two dogs did battle. To the other demons defense he was standing to Sesshomaru quite well.

That was all that could be said because in a matter of fifteen minutes he was down. He was crippled and was at Lord Sesshomaru's mercy. I was expecting an instant execution.

"Do you pledge loyalty to me once more or shall I end you now?" He asked surprising me.

"Y... Yes my Lord." He said bowing his head.

"You're not going to make an example of him? That's it?" I asked in surprise.

"He will be given his punishment." Sesshomaru said walking off. I shrugged getting onto my stick. I  flew towards the general and grabbed him by the back of his clothes. I dragged him along as we approached the castle grounds. 'What punishment will you assign him?'

'Public lashings, his position lowered and dishonor.' Sesshomaru said casually.

'Can I do something a little more.....brutish? I want to do something that will aid me. Unfortunately I couldn't do it to anyone without you permission and them being wrong.' I asked.

'What would you do?' He asked.

'Rip the skin off his back. I need it unopened so if you want to whip him it'll have to be afterwards.' I said gaining devilish smirk on my face. He looked back at me with mild surprise. I was usually apposed to such barbaric acts.

'I approve.' He said as we walking through the gates. I had to stop myself from squealing in delight! One dog demon skin coming right up! This was going to be amazing! We walked into the public grounds where everyone trained.

"Hatsu has challenged me and lost. I have spared his life in exchange for his loyalty but he must still be punished." Sesshomaru called out to the masses of people looking on. They all crowded around as two demons came and grabbed the general from me. They tied him to a post kneeling.

"May I?" I asked. Sesshomaru nodded and I dropped from my stick grabbing my knife. I walked over to the demon tied down kneeling. I cut open his shirt exposing his back to me. I heard everyone murmuring in wonder of what I was doing. "This might hurt a lot. Try not to squirm around. Your Lord has allowed me to add this to your punishment." I told him.

"What are you going to do?" He asked a little nervous when the tip of my blade touched his back.

"I'm going to take some skin. Your a demon, it'll grow back without a scar." I informed him. He tensed up and I started cutting into his skin. He growled softly which I was thankful for. I might not go through it if he was screaming. I cut a long rectangle into his skin from the shoulder blades to just above his pants. I then grabbed the top digging my fingers into the cut.

Once I had a firm hold I ripped back taking the rectangle of skin with me. He roared out in pain. I turned around with the bloody skin in my hands and walked off. I wasn't going to watch the lashings. I had work to do.

I skipped up to my room feeling a little bad I hurt the general but excited for his skin. I immediately requested water and a huge bowl of salt. I washed the skin of it's blood and cut it into four, one inch thick strips. Then I layered it with salt on my floor.

"I can't believe you did that. What are you going to do with the skin?" Koishe asked having helped me.

"Use it to become less human. Not much less but enough for a better advantage. My knife was supper sharp so it didn't hurt to cut him too much. Though the ripping part must've sucked. Hey, he was looking to kill or over through Lord Sesshomaru. What just happened was a new thing, now they'll think twice about challenging him." I justified.

"That's true but you've got blood on your reputation now." She sighed.

"Hey, I also have a very long spout of weakness. Now there is a little balance. It would've happened eventually." I huffed.

The next day came and I died the skin black. I then took it to a jeweler to make a belt, a choker and two arm bands from it she was slightly disturbed by the material but accepted either way after taking a few measurements from me. In two days I would have the things needed! I was going to become a shifter witch! YYAAAYYYYY!
