Incandescent Pyre ,This Way Rise
Chapter Two
Smolder
By Inuyashas Youkai
Inuyasha brought her back to their campsite , laying Kagome down upon the unfolded sleeping bag, as a small tinge of blood made it way to his nose. Slicing away her top , and noticed that their miko had gotten injured during the last battle , but due to not allowed to heal completely the wound broke open . The trails of crimson running down led to a fairly decent laceration down her side, and it was found to be not lethal , but pretty deep, then started on cleaning it , as he tore away the old bandage , replacing it with a new one. Afterwards , the hanyou tucked his haori around her to see to it that she was covered , and warm.
During her forced slumber he merely watched over her , even though it was known that the new addition to the battle scar upon her flesh wasn't the first , as it would definately wouldn't be the last , but Inuyasha always worried , and he often times than not blame himself whenever the girl had gotten hurt. It was for a reason unknown to him , although it wasn't something that he naturally cared for because it was yet foreign to him , as to why she had like his friends obtained such a soft spot for each of them , but for some reason it was slightly more for Kagome. Not that the hanyou wanted to change the additions made in his life , but sometimes it tore him apart literally for how much over time that Inuyasha found he actually cared for each one that he had gained over time, especially her.
A tremoring pulse somewhere in the near vacinity slowly stolen the hanyou from his musings as he waited for the rest of his companions to return . It started off seemingly from farther away , as if something large was coming , and Inuyasha readily tightened his grip upon his sword , as he lowered himself in a crouch , scanning his surroundings leeringly , yet still keeping a eye on the wench laying obliviously next to him. As the sounds of approach came nearer , Inuyasha's body flexed tightly in anticipation for battle, but when it came to where his eye's indicated by the distraction's place of where it seemed to have originated , strangely enough there were nothing visible to explain the reasons why the heavily obtrusive sounding footfalls were even existing.
For a time then everything took hold frozen , with a standstill , numbing quiet in its wake, and just when the opportunity for a fight to blow off steam was given up on , the rumbling thudding upon the earths soil became louder , and faster , apparently judging by its tone rushing straight at them. Aiming to pick the girl up within his arms before leaping out of the anomalies path , but just as the hanyou quickly reached his clawed fingertips within close proximity of almost touching her to grasp , a force violently thrown him backwards into a now decimated tree. Raising himself from the ruble perturbedly , growling with a evil sneer matching his deadly intent in his orbs drenched in blood , with flames eagerly devouring it whole.
Strikingly walking towards where it was that the thing whatever it was thought it would be a smart thing to toss him to kingdom come, or at least try in its attempts in keeping him from the one now being trapped within some kind of fluctuating half circle surrounding the person left inside. The sword tossed in its place piercing the hardened soil , with its hilt pointed towards the dusking canvas above abandoned long ago without any lingering thought the moment his body meet in its forceful greeting with the tree, and was now offhandedly noticed within the oddly shaped phenomenon , unknown to the demon presently taking its reign within Inuyasha. Finally leaping the rest of the way towards the damn thing preventing the luring scent from his nose , hens causing it to fade into nothing as if whatever it was causing it was sucking all the natural essence out leaving a stale suffocating resemblance in its wake. Then , as his body gracefully fell in its decent to land upon the forests floor , the beast clawed hands begun to swing upon the the atrocity that made its presence known.
" Haha thought you could outsmart me , eh? Now I don't know what your playing at but I demand you to show yourself , and fight you heathen !"
Upon the battle between the transformed hanyou , and the sneaky opponent that now rather than fight him, it was now hiding after starting to taunt him into battle, but as this was occurring one by one the occupants within their group the hanyou traveled with had appeared, and because of what it had looked like each one had drawn their weapons , then used then to intervene. To them , something made Inuyasha transform, and with the trees ripped from their roots from the ground, the grounds uprooted of their natural composure, being all signs of a heavy altercation, but now somehow the beast was somehow centered upon the girl, possibly injured, secured within that of a barrier.
