Inu leaped out of the cave and off of the cliff in one great bound. Gracefully, he fell through the air and landed with both feet on the shoulders of one of his attackers, plowing him into the ground. But Inu didn't have time to savor his victory, as another man rushed at him with a sword. Inu dodged the sword and sank his claws into the man's tender belly as his momentum drove him passed.

Blood slicked his hands as he dodged another attack, this one from a club. It managed to tap both on Inu's ears as he barely managed to duck his head and avoid the blow. The man wielding the club was at least six times as tall as Inu and towered above the pup, however he was slow and clumsy. The man raised the club over his head and swing down at Inu, missing by a long shot this time. In the moments before the man could get the club off the ground, Inu ran up the club and climbed up the mans arm, then punched him in the face using his claws to inflict as much damage as possible.

He leapt through the air and away as the man fell to the ground, only to have a searing pain shoot through his arm. Inu looked down to see a small cut and realized that he had just barely missed being hit with a dagger. Another dagger whizzed by Inu's face, putting a tiny cut in his cheek, followed by another that imbedded itself deep within his shoulder. Without the use of his now injured right arm, Inu managed to jump into a nearby tree and spot the dagger-thrower hiding behind a rock. Inu pounced on him and used his claws to slice away part of the man's shoulder, but two more men crept up behind him and used heavy swords to try and take off Inu's head. Inu managed to dodge most of the blows, but one o the knives caught him on the collarbone, slicing it open.

Inu wasn't sure how much longer he could keep up this pace as a slow drizzle began, the rain impaired the men's views, but Inu could still see perfectly. He managed to come up behind the two with swords and lay his claws into their unprotected backs. One of the men screamed as they went down and there was suddenly a rain of arrows coming at Inu from four different directions.

Blindly, Inu rain forward and jumped into a tree disposing of one of the archers hiding there. Just as the archer fell, inu felt an excruciating pain as an arrow tore it's way through his stomach. The wound was low and to the right, but the pain caused Inu to waver as it surged through his body. All Inu could do to keep from falling out of the tree was clutch desperately to the trunk. But Inu was high in the tree and his position made him visible to the men below.

Inu heard a whizzing sound, but with his wounds he was not quick enough to move. A spear drove itself through his back and out the other side of his chest. Inu had no choice but to fall out of the tree and into a circle of men. The impact from landing on his side from twenty feet in the air instantly broke Inu's arm with a loud crack. Blows began to rain on Inu and he tried to curl into a protective ball, but the spear in his chest wouldn't allow that. Inu suddenly felt very warm and realized with horror it was because his own blood was pooling around his body.

The falling of blows abruptly stopped and the circle of men parted to reveal a large man carrying an even larger sword. Inu lie helpless on the ground, twisted to the side because of the spear in his back and helpless from pain and loss of blood, staring up at the big man. The man raised his sword in executioner style above Inu's head. Inu stared up at the way the rain glistened as it ran down the blade, then fainted.
