chapter 7:Wolf-human
::telepathy:: "speech" //thoughts// /lyrics/
Maru sighed as the crimson glowing faded.. Then she stood, looking herself over to make sure that she'd done everything right.. No tails, no ears, small fangs, no claws, and her usual outfit which she promptly change to her more 'normal' clothes. This included a red happi coat with gold trim, a pair of black chinese styled pants, red leather sandals, a white sash, and of course a new short sword across her back, and her two daggers. She let her hair down, brushed it, then it went up again into the usual ponytail and she walked back to camp... Her right shoulder being held by her left hand every time she moved to fast or jerked it...
"There you are." Klai said hovering beside the guardian's head.
"Yeah here I am." Maru responded.. Then she finally made it to where the four guys were sitting... Though Hiei was in a tree just above them...
Yusuke glanced at her, then did a double take.. "How.. where did those come from?"
Maru blinked then answered with a cocked eyebrow, "Dempa."
Klai smiled, showing her cat-like fangs at the three confused faces and one glance.
"What's a 'dempa'.." Kuwabara asked.. Looking at Maru like he had just noticed her..
"Demensional pack."
Klai giggled then explained, "Maru can form demensional tears and uses them to teleport from one place to another and as storage."
"So the gold sparks before.."
"Were me using the teleportation." Maru said simply, sitting down and crossing her legs and arms.. But it wasn't till a few minutes later that Yusuke noticed something.. "Che, Maru what's up you haven't said a word for.." Then he saw her eyes were closed and her head was tilted forward slightly.. And Klai was curled beside her.. both asleep.. ```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` ``````
Maru opened her eyes.. Senses suddenly jolted awake by a faint relization.. Someone was near.. not one ofthese four nor Klai.. She tightened her grip on reality and reached slowly to her right dagger with her left hand.. Still pretending to be in a deep slumber..
Klai moved a little as the sheath just above her purple head moved as metle was removed from it.. But she didn't awake..
Maru shifted the blade so that it was ready for anything, at attack or an attacker.. But it took serveral moments before Maru scented something... A drug.. Probably a plant that's scent made you drowzy.. Small wonder why it didn't work on her.. The keeper had gone out of her way to make Maru well pretected from such things..
The guardian waited for serveral more heart beats.. Testing the air for where the intruder was... Then she located it.. twenty or more yards away.. Bushes.. To her right..
Then it was barely a blink before Maru was three yards away from the being.. Her whole form a blur of gold sparks as she struck out with her left hand.. But what-ever this being was.. It had remarkably good reflexes..
Her blade was dodged then the thing snarled... TheNext Maru saw claws flash and another shriek escaped her mouth as more pain shot through her right shoulder.. New claws now pulsing in the wound..
"Haha, little half-breed!!! I found you and your friends!!" The same raspy, earaching voice... The same red orbs, the same snarling fangs... The same human/wolf-like form..
Maru grasped onto this as a deep and overwhelming wrath suddenly exploded from her body... Red energy now sweeping over her as she yelled, "YOU?! WHAT DO YOU WANT?! Why are you following me?!"
Slash, a shriek, another slash, an unearthly scream.. The wolf fell at Maru's feet.. The girl panted.. Blood oozing from her shoulder and from a new cut that ran down her face... But she wasn't done, with a hearty kick the wolf fell on it's back.. Jaws open and blood coming from it's slit throat.. But suddenly it came back to life as Maru plunged her dagger into it's chest.. right where the heart was..
After a few seconds it stopped moving and Maru focused her energy.. Burning it until hardly ashes were left of it and the plant it had been using.. But the damage was done.. She stood, walked back to where she had been and fell down to the ground.. Red-gold eyes glowing with an inner flame that slowly began to fade as she dozed off... ``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` ````````
Hiei opened his eyes.. His head spun a little and that told him all her needed to know, he began searching for anything.. And his eyes found two things, 1) A burned spot with the unmistakable stench of charred flesh.. And 2) Maru..
He blinked, red orbs trying to see what was wrong with her but he noted the blood and flickered out of sight and reappeared on the ground, already opening his mouth to wake up Kurama. ```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` ``````
"How did she fair?" It was deep voice, cracked with age but a somewhat youthful face with grey eyes and unruly black hair asked a dark form before him..
"She is injured my lord.. She won't be able to travel until her wounds heal." The wolf/human answered.. Claws glinting in the small amount of light in the room...
"I though she would be dead, that is what you promised Juro."
"Sire, we had no idea she would be so immune to the plant.. Everyone else in the group failed to wake until it was removed.." The wolf seemed to shudder as the armored being before him drew a long sword...
"I don't want exuses.. I want this 'Maru' dead!" ```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` ```````````
Maru bolted upward.. Suddenly aware of something.. What had that been? Hadn't that wolf been the very person she had just killed? And who was that 'lord' who wanted her dead?
Then she looked around, eyes meeting red ones... But she fell back, overwhelmed with the sudden waves of pain.. "You're awake."
"Yeah..." She said with a low growl.. Showing him she wasn't in the mood for an argument nor for company..
Hiei smirked. "What happened?"
Maru was silent, trying to think if she should tell him.. But it was either that, or explain it to someone else... She rolled her eyes, "Remember that wolf you guys found me with.. The dead one."
He was silent so she took it as a yes.. "He burned the temple... And He was here last night.. Both times I killed him..."
Hiei eyes widened somewhat.. "You're sure?"
Maru lifted herself up, looking to her left at him.. "You think that after killing for 15 years I don't know when somethin's dead?"
He shook his head, barely but he did... "Last night I slit the damn thing's throat, then stabbed it where it should have a heart.. Then burned it.. But I bet it won't be enough..." Maru said laying back.. She was weak.. But then she noted that he was the only one here...
Hiei seemed to read her actions, "Kurama went to go get something to heal you, Yusuke and the oaf went to see the toddler along with Klai, and I.."
"Stayed here to 'protect' me. I swear.." Maru muttered, but didn't even finish her sentence.. Instead she seemed to float in the limbo between sleep and reality.. But lost and fell back.. Thinking, //I didn't tell him about the vision...// But even this seemed to be swept away as she fell into darkness.... ```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` ``````````` Awww.. Not really but I just wanted to say that.. So.. Any ideas on who the 'grey eyed lord with unruly black hair' is? If you get it right.. I'll do something.. Hmmm.........
