InuYasha parried her blow and stuck back, she easily step sided to the right to avoid the blade, then she kicked InuYasha in the side to get him away. InuYasha glared at her.
"This is going to be simple." Aki said with a smirk.
"Like hell it is!" InuYasha growled and ran at her. Aki watched him like a hawk and knew that he was preparing for a big attack. "Wind Scar!" InuYasha yelled. Aki looked at the attack, there was no way she could dodge it, she'd have to try to block it. She held her sword in front of her and when InuYasha's attack hit her sword she braced herself for the impact on her body. She felt pain in her limbs, her sword had deflected it from her head and torso.
"Not bad, could have been better." Aki said as she looked at InuYasha.
"Wha? She's still alive!" InuYasha asked.
"Of course, did you really think that I'd let a half-demon win?" Aki growled at him.
"Shut up!" InuYasha growled back at her.
"I don't think so." Aki said, her sword turned from a sword to a spear. "Better to keep distance." Aki muttered to herself.
"Coward." InuYasha said. Aki shrugged.
"Well it's not any better then yourself. Using a big attack like that on someone so close, just think, Kagome could have easily walked behind me trying to get the shard from Naraku and you could have killed her." Aki said, no one noticed but a spike of fire was forming behind InuYasha, aiming for his heart.
"Leave Kagome out of this!" InuYasha growled, Aki smirked.
"So long InuYasha." Aki said, the spike flew through the air and imbedded itself in InuYasha's stomach.
"You missed." InuYasha said as he coughed up blood. Aki turned around so quickly that the flower Rin had given her fell out of her pocket, through a hole from InuYasha's attack. "What's that?" InuYasha asked. Aki looked where he was looking.
"Rin." Aki said. Then the evil air about her faded and she looked at what she had done. "NARAKU! WHERE ARE YOU!" Aki growled as flame daggers appeared in her hands. She was looking around, when she knew that he was gone she growled and walked over to InuYasha who was slowly getting himself ready for another attack.
"Stay away!" Kagome yelled as she fired an arrow, Aki grabbed it and threw it back.
"I'm not fighting." Aki said, the arrow landed at Kagome's feet and she picked it up.
"How can we trust you?" Kagome asked.
"If you want to or not that's up to you." Aki said. The spike had long extinguished and there was almost no blood on the ground.
"Why aren't I bleeding?" InuYasha asked.
"You are but the fire closed off the blood veins so that you don't bleed as badly, though you wont stand a chance against anything at the moment." Aki explained. Kagome walked over to InuYasha. "You should get him out of here, unless you have other people who can fight. Your aim isn't so good either, practice." Aki added.
"What do you think I'm trying to do?" Kagome asked hotly. Aki ignored her and walked off. "Where are you going?" Kagome asked again.
"Away or else you'll be in trouble again." Aki answered, not even turning around, as she walked she picked up the flower Rin had given her and put it in an undamaged pocket.
"Hello! I need help! He weighs to much for me to carry!" Kagome yelled after her. Aki turned around and walked back. She put InuYasha's arm over her shoulders and held him up with a hand on his waist while Kagome had the other side. Kagome lead them back to where they were supposed to meet Miroku and Sango. "Thanks." Kagome said. Aki nodded and walked back the way she had come.
"Dammit." Aki muttered. "He got away." She walked through the forest and looked around for any sign of where Naraku had gone.
"You were supposed to kill him." Naraku said from the shadows.
"You should have thought about that before you made me have a heart. Now come out coward!" Aki growled.
"I have no intention of revealing where I am." Naraku said. "Though when the time comes you will serve me and I will have all the shards." Naraku said.
"Have fun getting them from Kouga." Aki said.
"He's on his way here and you're covered in my scent, he's going to attack you and in self defense your other side will come out and you'll kill him Naraku said.
"No I wont." Aki growled in a calm way.
"We'll see, here he is." Naraku added, his voice faded away and soon Kouga burst into the clearing.
"Don't even think of attacking me." Aki warned.
"You're one of Naraku's shades aren't you?" Kouga asked.
"In a way yes." Aki answered. Kouga growled at her.
"What do you mean 'in a way'?" he asked.
"Long story but let's just say that he gave me something I didn't have. So there's no reason for you to kill me, I didn't kill you friends and clan or whatever it is, Kagura did, take it up with her…damn…you can't." Aki said.
"Why can't I?" Kouga asked.
"I…uh…kinda…killed her…" Aki answered.
"YOU WHAT!" Kouga yelled. By now the remains of his pack had caught up.
"I killed her! There! I said it! She's dead!" Aki yelled back. "And I'm guessing you're going to kill me for killing her?" Aki asked.
"Duh!" the two other wolf demons said. (I don't know their names). Aki rolled her eyes. Kouga lunged at her, and grazed her arm.
"You know if you don't get out of here, and soon, Naraku's going to send someone to kill you and take your shards!" Aki growled.
"I don't believe you." Kouga said.
"Fine! Die! See if I care!" Aki growled. Kouga attacked her again and this time she blocked with fire.
"Oww! That's hot!" Kouga yelled as he looked at his steaming fingers.
"Get out of here you idiot!" Aki growled. Kouga glared at her. "I'll fry you like the chicken you are!" Aki warned, coming up with the best sounding this she could think of. "Oh Kagome's over there and InuYasha's wounded." Aki said pointing the way she had helped take InuYasha." Kouga looked that way and sniffed.
"Kagome!" He yelled and ran off.
"Hey! Kouga! Wait for us!" one of the demons yelled as the pack started running again.
"Yes! I didn't have to kill him!" Aki said jumping up and down. "I supposed I better get back to Rin and Sesshoumaru." Aki said thinking of the flower that had saved InuYasha. She sighed and walked to a stream. "I'll go in the morning." Aki muttered. She took a drink of the water and watched a fish swim by. "Dinner!" Aki grabbed the fish and found some twigs so she could make a fire to roast it over. Before she fell asleep she ate the fish and looked around to make sure that it was a closed area and that no one would find her.
When she woke she realized that she wasn't in the same place she had been last night.
"Uh…where am I?" Aki asked as she looked around.
"You're coming with us, demon." A man's voice said.
"Thanks for the offer but no thanks. I have some where I need to be." Aki said, she tried to move and found that she was bound from head to tow in chains. "These look like good strong chains…too bad they're going to be melted into hot metal." Aki said with a sigh, she touched the chain on her hand and it started melting, after that hand and arm where free she melted all the other chains and jumped off the platform they had been carrying her on.
"She's getting away! Come back here demon! A small boy that looked 16 yelled.
"I told you I have some where I need to be!" Aki growled at them. She ran off in the direction she thought was west. "Alright…now where am I?" she asked as she looked around, she didn't remember any of this. "Damn! I got myself lost!" she growled.
"Are you lost dearie?" an old woman asked. Aki turned and looked at her. She didn't know that Aki was a demon and Aki didn't like her, there was a strange feeling about this old woman.
"Uh…Yeah. I didn't know that people lived way out here." Aki said.
"Where are you trying to go?" the old woman asked, some drool started coming out of her mouth.
"For one that none of your business, and for two you're not human you're a demon and you want to eat me." Aki said.
"You're a smart one." The demon said, now shedding the old lady's skin. Aki shrugged.
"I try, now might you tell me what way is west, then I might not have to kill you." Aki said as her fire sword appeared in her hand, she didn't want to use it because using all this energy was making her weak, so she quickly changed it from her fire sword to the one that she had gotten from the Lord of the North. Before the demon could attack Aki put her sword to the demons neck and pushed it in just enough to draw blood. "What way is west?" she asked.
"It's that way." The demon pointed and Aki nodded, she had gone in the completely opposite direction than she wanted to.
"Good choice." Aki walked off, seeing as she didn't feel like getting to a fight with the demon, then she felt a stabbing pain in her shoulder. "Do you mind?" Aki growled.
"No I don't." the demon answered, Aki turned around so fast that the demon didn't see her move, then it's head flew off its shoulders.
"Well you should have thought about it before you picked a fight with me." Aki growled at the now decapitated demon. She walked away off to Sesshoumaru's castle to see what was going and to tell Rin that her flower saved someone.
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
