Here's the much awaited chapter 2! Disclaimer: Obviously I do not own Kekkaishi! And I forgot to mention that the ayakashi's former shape I took from Kiara from Inuyasha. Love that cat! Here's the much awaited chapter 2!
The ayakashi bared it's teeth at them and sent a teeth rattling growl their way. Yoshimori cursed under his breath as they got a good look at the monster's new body
It's three tails had turned into six but they were all now serpents. The ground it stood on smoldered under the fire coming from it's feet. It had rows of teeth as long as their bodies and it towered over the Karakura building. It's breath blew from its mouth as poison gas and the saliva hit the ground, burning through dirt and rock.
"Dang it!" Yoshimori shouted as the ayakashi reared it's head back and let loose some of it's poison breath at them. He covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve as did Tokine. As the air cleared he glanced over at her.
"Tokine stay back! Let me deal with this."
"Yoshimori!" Tokine yelled as he raced off, jumping from kekkai to kekkai to come to the same height as the ayakashi. The fool ignored her as he came eye level with the demon.
The ayakashi chuckled and said, "You're a fool, little kekkaishi, to refuse the assistance of your friend over there."
"Leave her out of this!" Yoshimori yelled as he stood defiantly in the breeze of the night air.
The ayakashi nodded slightly, "You're a fool, but I will leave the girl alone until I'm done with you, in honor of your pigheaded stubbornness."
With that last statement the ayakashi stomped his foot, sending columns of fire at Yoshimori. He ducked and dived off the kekkai he had been standing on to create another where he landed. "Hoi! Johso, Ketsu!" the kekkai appeared around the huge ayakashi and Yoshimori held on tight, gritting his teeth.
"Yoshi!" Tokine yelled taking a step towards him. "Don't move, Tokine!" He yelled, his body tense.
"But-"
"No! Don't interfere! He said he'll leave you alone if you don't interfere!"
Beads of sweat rolled down his face as he continued to hold the ayakashi. The kekkai wavered slightly and the ayakashi roared in laughter, the sound shaking the ground.
"Little kekkaishi, do you really think this weak kekkai can hold me?" He shouted and stepped out of the spirit box.
Yoshimori cursed. "Hoi! Johso, Ketsu!" A kekkai appeared at the beast's huge back leg. "Metsu!" he shouted and dust blew everywhere.
"That didn't even scratch me." A voice appeared by Yoshimori's ear and suddenly he felt a searing pain from his left shoulder all the way across his back.
He jumped into the air creating a kekkai under him. The dust cleared and he saw the ayakashi standing casually where he had.
The pain flared anew and Yoshimori clamped his hand on his shoulder, wincing. The ayakashi chuckled.
"That shoulder is going to just get worse, little one. My saliva has mixed in that bite and as you noticed before, it's acidic. As we speak, my acid is eating away muscle and skin!"
He cursed and straightened up from his hunched position. He had to end this quickly.
