Hakumei Chapter 5 Cheer for Higure has updated!!!! -B.D.

I raised an eyebrow at the woman who seemed to think she was in charge. I stood up and walked by her. "Look, I repaid my debt to you for not attacking me the other night. From now on, you're on your own with these children." With that I turned and drew my sword of fire and cracked my neck. "You're a high ranking inu of the west. Figure your own way out." I could see the anger in Ayame's eyes, I knew this wouldn't be the last time I saw her. But this was her battle, not mine and I wasn't about to waste any more time. Walking towards the forest I could feel other demons around me. I swung my sword quickly slicing a large bull demons head off and I looked back at Ayame through the tree.

I shook it off and continued on my way. Various demons ran by me and into the field. I could hear growls and roars behind me, I could even hear shouting. As I turned to leave I heard a large noise building up, I turned around in time to see a blinding light flashing through the forest. I yelled out in pain as I felt myself launched into a tree. "Damn it! My eyes are fucking burning!" I covered my eyes and growled opening them to see a blur of colors. "Damn it! Why can't I see…?" I stood up and winced shaking off, I tried to look around but everything was a blur. "Ok…I have to use my nose to find my way." As I followed my nose I held my hands out feeling around.

Muttering I heard a river a little ways away, my ears flicked forward and I began to follow the sound. I soon felt cold water flowing over my feet I went back a few steps onto the shore and knelt down to wash my eyes, trying to get or fix the blurred vision I had been impaired with. I sighed and leaned against a tree letting my vision come back to me slowly colors became shapes and shapes became tree and the river with bushes and creatures. I sighed once again, why was Ayame so mad about me leaving? I helped her get out of the dungeon, saved her life and those two children that were with her when I woke up.

I didn't owe her and she didn't owe me and that's how it worked. Her whole quest thing was done; the child was safe and would be returned to her family soon. But I wondered why she had gotten kidnapped in the first place. That boy couldn't have done it. He did smell of the demon Naraku that had been killed awhile back, though. I heard something walking up behind me and the feel of it was making my fur stand on end. I swiftly spun around, drawing my sword to point it at the demons throat. I looked closer and growled. "What do you want spider?" My sword stayed firmly in place at the demons throat.

"Nothing dear child, I was just admiring the young demoness out in the woods on her own. Now why would you be on your own? Where is your pack?" She smiled at me softly as I raised an eyebrow and tightened my grip on my sword. "I have no pack, nor will I ever have one. Use your sense of smell and you'll understand, so don't toy with me spider."

She laughed softly using one of her eight legs to move my sword away. I growled quickly moving it back into place. "Being three-fourths demon is something to be proud of! It brings you all the closer to be a full fledged demon; I could make that dream come true if you do something for me dear child. The high ranking inu you travel with, she has taken something that is mine and I wish to have it back." Her voice said coaxingly.

I raised my eyebrow withdrawing my sword and sliding it into its sheath. "I don't travel with her; I wish to have nothing to do with her. Solve your own damn problems yourself!" I growled turning around and walking away. I felt something move and I turned around to see the spider woman swat me with one of her power full legs. She hit me into the river and pinned me down under the water so I couldn't get air. "You mix breeds are all the same, thick skulled and weak…" I couldn't hear what she had said all I could do was hold my breath and try and get free.

As I looked around I struggled against the spiders' leg trying to get free. My swords were no good under water; the water put the fire out and melted the ice into water. I opened my eyes glaring stabbing my claws into the spiders leg then biting into it. I could hear a loud screech as the leg retracted. I moved quickly breaking the surface for air and swimming to the shore quickly coughing and shaking off. I looked back to see the spider was gone as I continued to cough. "Damn it..." I looked down at my stomach seeing it was bleeding. She had pierced my stomach somehow.

I groaned as I leaned against a tree and sighed, demons would be coming quickly at the smell of blood. I turned to my side throwing up beside a tree, the water I had swallowed trying to escape my lungs and stomach. "Damn it…!Fucking spider bitch and her damn claws. Where the hell did she go…?" I looked around trying to see where she had gone, she had to be seven feet high and nine feet wide but she had just vanished…it didn't seem right.

I stood up and growled as I looked around. I had to get away from this spot. I walked deeper into the woods gripping onto trees trying to keep my balance as I felt my body weakening. Why was I so weak? It couldn't be the moon it had passed. I fell to my knees again and threw up once more, as I sat there coughing I realized what was wrong. A large deadly spider…she had poisoned me through her claws when she smacked me and stabbed me in the stomach! I growled as I began coughing again. I looked into the forest and growled again. Damn that spider, I would get my revenge!
