Chapter 2
The flight was slow and boring according to Akako. She woke at sunrise and was just watching the world below, searching for the other element dragons. A demon with white hair surrounded by other demons caught her eye. As he jumped around it was apparent his arm was missing and he looked wounded in other places. He looked like a strong demon, so it confused Akako why he didn't just fight back. She squinted to get a better look and gasped. In his arm was a little girl. She didn't look all that old, probably around nine years old maybe. The demon was growling as several other demons followed him. Akako sighed and jumped off of Enlil, landing on the ground gracefully.
"Enlil, if you wouldn't mind, I require your power," Akako said calmly as several demons turned their heads to her and began to charge at her instead of the other demon. Enlil nodded and returned to sword form, landing in Akako's hand. She spun the sword in the air and shouted, "Bladed Twister!" The sword turned into a twister as the blade split apart, keeping the handle in the eye of it. Demons left and right were being sucked in and sliced apart. Soon all but the white haired demon was destroyed. The sword returned to its original form and Akako picked it up.
"If you wish gratitude, you will get none," the demon said walking towards Akako. "But I wish to know who you are and why you can't mind your own business." Akako looked at him shocked as well as enraged.
"My name is Akako. I never expected any gratitude, but the rudeness was very much uncalled for," Akako snapped. "If I hadn't stepped in you would have died along with the child in your arm. Did you lose your other arm for such stupidity?" The demon growled and his eyes began to glow red. Akako stood her ground, her sword at the ready. The small child in the demon's arms began to stir and his eyes went normal.
"I'm sorry Lord Sesshoumaru, that demon snuck up on me," the little girl said looking at the demon apologetically. Akako rolled her eyes and began to walk away.
"Where are you going?" the demon known as Sesshoumaru asked. Akako stopped and turned around glaring at him.
"I doubt the human child would want to see me, I am much too frightening to be looked upon," Akako replied. "Enlil, lord of the wind, I call upon you. Wake from your slumber and serve me." Just like before, the sword became a dragon. Akako hopped on his back and waved off Sesshoumaru and the girl. "I wish you well. Enlil, get us out of here." Enlil nodded and began to rise into the air, but a green strip of light wrapped around his leg. Enlil roared in pain and fell back down to the ground. "What have you done?!"
"Don't worry Akako, he will be fine, but I can not just let you go," Sesshoumaru stated simply. Akako got off of Enlil's back and looked at him. He seemed fine, just a burn around one of his legs. She then turned to Sesshoumaru, growling. A red aura surrounded her body, but Sesshoumaru didn't move. She was about to attack him, but a human male stepped into view baring a sword with a gold dragon as the hilt.
"You, human, hand me the sword and you shall be spared," Akako growled. The male trembled and charged forward. Akako sighed and grabbed the man's face before he could bring his sword down and squeezed it until it burst. She licked some of the blood off her hand and picked up the sword. "Vulcan, lord of the fire, I make claim over you. Rise from your slumber and obey only me." A golden dragon with red eyes appeared in front of Akako, snarling at her.
"I refuse to obey you. You are not but a girl!" Vulcan yelled. He took a deep breath and breathed our fire, consuming Akako.
