Sword Dancer

She would be unstoppable as he would be immovable. She thrived on her own power proving those around her wrong.

Kegan pulled back hard enough to make a small cut on his neck then her sword joined his on the ground as she staggered away from him still glaring.

He was frozen as he stared at her. He was vaguely aware of the two people who jumped the fence beside him and rushed to her aid then of the bear youki he shared the hut with.

"I don't care what they say. That girl's got serious strength in her." He nodded still watching her as she tried to push the two dragon kin away. She wanted to prove she didn't need them but they were having none of it.

Wiping the bit of blood from his neck he hopped onto the other side of the fence and made his way back to the hut. No one noticed as all attention was on the three out in the middle of the circle.

Kegan had dropped to her knees after pinning her opponent and could no longer hear Sesshomaru or anyone else pressuring her to continue and as far as she was concerned she was done.

Before she could fully hit the ground though, she was held up by a spiky haired boy with dark blue scales she recognized.

Pitifully she tried to escape his hold but found his brother on the other side, tending to her arm.

"Let…go…" She spoke weakly. She could hear her heart pounding in her ears. As they spoke quickly to one another.

"Ryo…bandage…blood…" She heard snippets as the red one, dubbed Ryo, put pressure on her arm and rewrapped it carefully as the blue one, she couldn't figure out his name. The darkness was starting to look really good right about now when she felt a small prod or nudge then they let her drift for a while.

The next time she opened her eyes she was laying on a soft mattress and she could hear the soft murmurs of those around her.

She groaned slightly and everything stilled then suddenly two energetic faces looked down at her. Ryo and his brother smiled happily as she came from her drowsiness.

"How long…" She spoke hoarsely making one of them chuckle and give her a cup filled with water.

"Only a few weeks." The blue one piped making her spit out the water.

"What!! You can't be…" Ryo slapped his brother's arm annoyed.

"Don't listen to him. Magus is just trying to freak you out."

Magus smirked happily and grinned at his brother.

"Succeeding too. Nah, you've only been out a few hours." She nodded looking down at her now bandaged arm.

"How did my arm get…?" Her green eyes turned to look at them and both blushed sheepishly.

"We did that. You were gonna die if we didn't." Magus supplied giving her another cup of water. She stared at them in confusion. Why exactly were they helping her? They hadn't ever done it in the past.

Ryo caught her suspicious glance and looked down guiltily.

"A little late we know, but now that you beat, Jericho, though he's not too happy about it, we can talk."

Kegan was speechless for a second then mad.

"Wait a minute!! You would've talked to me if that over inflated dog had ordered it? What the hell!" Throwing back the covers she immediately regretted it as Ryo helped her sit back down.

"We had too. It wasn't really his order though. More like Camen's. He really doesn't like you for some reason." She raised her eyebrow then shook her head.

"Well you can stop being nice now. I know you don't want to be…" She was interrupted as the bear-youki came into the hut.

"So how's our little patient? Eh boys? Well she's awake! Ain't that nice Jericho?" He moved aside to reveal the black hair inu who growled at her. In response Kegan stood and snarled back. She'd had just about enough of him.

"That's it." She narrowed her eyes and stepped right into his path, ignoring the splitting headache, as he went to get onto his bed. He glared at her but didn't speak as she glared back.

"If you've got something to say, dog-boy, I suggest you say it or should I just kick your ass again?" He snarled and stepped closer.

"Beginner's luck, bitch." Kegan too stepped forward but this time she grabbed him first. With strength unknown to her she flipped the larger male over and laid him flat on the ground then pulled the small dagger he'd hidden beneath the mattress the first night and put it to his throat.

"I've had enough of you, Jericho, was it? You're in the same boat I am and I will not tolerate your name calling anymore. You will respect me or I will cut off your reproductive organs, got it?"

He didn't answer but she never gave him time to as she stood then dropped the knife just at the seam of his pants. By this time the wolf had come in and now all her companions were staring at her. She gave them each a hard glare.

"Now listen all of you. I am just as much a part of this house as you. You will not call me bitch, wench, or any other thing you can come up with. My name is fairly easy to say I think and I expect you to use it."

She spun and glared at her captain as he stood up again holding the dagger he thought he'd hidden. His golden eyes were glazed over with amusement as he stared at her holding the knife in his hand.

"And what might your name be, little girl?" She smirked, realizing that he was no longer going to attack her.

"My name, is Kegan, little boy."
