Wings of Fury: Signs of the Dammed
The silence of the forest was good for the cloaked figure he could hear if any one was sneaking up behind him.
"Got to concentrate" he thought to him self "can't screw this up not now" a twig snapped and the figure whipped around suddenly with his sword drawn and standing there was a group of bandits standing there swords drawn and arrows strung. He stopped to count nine in all,
"Feh" he scoffed "bandit scum"
"You" gruffly said one "give us your food and what other items you have a value" but before you could blink in a puff of smoke the figure was next to the man, his sword sliced through the mans head so fast that blood didn't even get on it.
"How about no" said the figure, the other bandits just sort of looked frightened before one yelled
"Get him!" and in the quiet forest you could hear the scream of men as they begged for their lives and the splatter of blood on the grass.
Meanwhile in another part of the deep woods Inuyasha and the rest stopped to rest at a small creek,
"It feels good to stop and rest our feet eh Sango," said Kagome as she stuck her feet into the cool water.
"What do you think Inuyasha?" she said looking over to the half-breed. But the young man's thoughts were else were. Miroku also was deep in thought
"I feel something but…"
"Miroku" said Inuyasha "get ready" as he said this a horde of demons appeared in front of them the writhing mass of demons gurgled and spluttered as they approached their quarry.
This horde of creatures did not go unnoticed by the cloaked figure as he to was close to the creek,
"Hmm" he thought and in a puff of smoke he disappears to where our heroes were ready to fight off the monsters.
"As I thought," he said to himself "the jewel seekers perhaps they have…" that is when he noticed the glint of the shikon shard around Kagome's neck
"The shard! This is a good day for me" he said to himself and quickly paffed away. Inuyasha's Tensusaiga easily cut down the demon horde but something was still troubling the half-breed.
"There is an other power in this forest," he said to the group as they sat around a fire,
"What you mean a demon," said Sango.
"No Sango" said Miroku "but just as dangerous I felt it also, when we entered this forest" Inuyasha nodded knowingly, the power was close he could feel it, it was something he encountered before and unlike most things it scared him… Later that night when the fire was dying down the figure quietly appeared on a rock above the sleeping Kagome.
"At last the shard" it said it's eyes glinting in hope as it reached down.
"I don't think so" whispered Inuyasha who had quietly placed the blade of Tensusaiga on the figure neck. But before he could react the figure paffed just above him and dropped down his foot extended and it rammed into Inuyasha's' side.
"Arrgh" he yelled in pain waking everyone in the camp.
"What's going on!" yelled an irritated Kagome
"Get ready…he's here" yelled Inuyasha but before he could do any thing the figure appeared and punched Miroku straight in jaw.
"Miroku" yelled Sango.
"There!" shouted Inuyasha as he swung Tensusaiga at the figure only for it to be blocked by…another sword
"Please half breed" said the figure as swung his own sword pushing Inuyasha back deeper into the forest,
"I'm growing tired of this…SAIGA BEAM" and with that a beam of green energy erupted from the cloaked figures hand and hit Inuyasha squarely in the chest knocking him into the trees,
"I do not wish to fight any longer please relinquish the shard" said the figure extending his hand
"In your dreams" yelled Inuyasha as he slashed the Tensusaiga wildly trying to get up.
"FOOL!" yelled the figure and slashed down almost cutting Inuyasha but he dodged it narrowly,
"DIE!" yelled Inuyasha bringing the sword down but it missed as the figure had teleported to another area by Kagome,
"Girl please I would like that shard around your neck" he said extending his hand.
"STAY AWAY FROM KAGOME!" yelled Inuyasha as he swung the blade crafted from his father's fang, creating a giant crater near the campsite.
"Your fear is the only thing stopping you from killing me" stated the figure "WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF!" he yelled launching himself at the half breed slicing him across the chest
"ANGH" yelled Inuyasha in pain
"Inuyasha" shouted Kagome in worry,
"This has gone on long enough," said the figure "if you will not relinquish the shard" he paused sheathing his sword and walking calmly to his advisary
"Then let me help you find the rest of the shards"
"Why so you can turn against us and steal it" yelled Sango as she helped Miroku to his feet.
"Please I could have killed any of you within a second of our battle" said the figure eyeing Sango with much contempt.
"You think we can trust this guy Inuyasha," asked Kagome
"Rrrh…no but an extra man would help us in this battle against Naraku"
"Naraku…you five are fighting Naraku" the thing said his voice full of surprise
"Yes" stammered a wounded Miroku "he cursed me with this hellhole" the figure examined the hand and said
"Naraku was the main reason my people were hunted down"
"Your people?" asked a confused Kagome
"The Necromancers, we lived peacefully until Naraku convinced the villagers and royals we were a threat and all of were killed except me. But I was almost killed had I not teleported out of the ropes and fought my way out…my parents were killed also"
"Were your parents Necromancers too?" asked Sango
"No they were farmers they came with my brother to the east were we could live peacefully"
"Is your brother alive?" asked Miroku
"No" the silence of the forest was now getting creepy and the travelers were nervous to sleep with this Necromancer around,
"don't worry I won't steal the shard while you are sleeping I will just go over to this area and sleep good night.
Some time later Kagome was woken by something she checked her neck to see if the shard was still there and she sighed in relief, but she was still troubled by something and went to were the necromancer was.
"sneaking around Kagome" said the Necro
"I wasn't sneaking" she sniffed "I was just…"
"Suspicous, or scared perhaps"
"I don't trust lets just get that clear okay why do you want to help us"
"The group is not nessicarily the one who needs help"
"I don't understand" she said
"Of course you don't" he said facing her "I'm speaking in riddles,"
"Listen you…"
"Shh" he said I hear something
