Chapter 28
Amber drew Kurama back. "I'll take care of her." The vixen's reiki rose with her anger as she faced off with the wolf. "Davona, you'll regret crossing me."
The wolf demoness leapt forward, then found her punch skillfully blocked. Amber locked the demoness' arm then kicked her in the ribs. She released her enemy's arm then followed through with punch to the face. An upper cut hit the vixen's gut, who then retaliated with a sharp knee raise.
Both pulled away from eachother, glaring angrily under the flickering torch light.
"Amber!" Albinia cried, trying to run forward.
"No!" Kurama exclaimed, catching the young vixen in mid-stride. "She knows what she's doing, young one."
She cast a quick, grateful glance to him, mechanically blocking a kick in the same motion. Amber then ducked a punch before kicking Davona's feet out from under her. Then, her fist met the demoness' face with considerable force.
Davona brought her feet up and kicked the vixen away. She slid slightly on the marble floor as she regained her footing. Amber flipped in midair, regaining her footing easily without a single slip on the floor. Almond shaped eyes narrowed angrily, and her golden tail lashed about stiffly.
Hiei started. Only a fool wouldn't realize that she is furious. They backed away to give the combatants room. Also, they kept their spirit energy high so that they could dodge any stray attacks without being harmed themselves.
Amber leapt into motion, her punches and kicks more forceful than they'd ever been before; to the wolf's experience that is. Davona attempted to fight back, but compared to the vixen she was as slow as a snail attempting to best a Thoroughbred in a race.
With a snarl, she fired her youki into an attack. Her satisfied smirk showed that she was sure of victory. That expression shifted to one of horror when it was reflected back at her by the reiki of the fox. Davona dodged, and the attack exploded in the distance. "You're more skilled than I thought."
Her eyes became completely blood red as she became as a werewolf in form; a danger legends spoke of. "This is my true form. I am very dangerous and out of your league, spirit fox."
Amber rolled her eyes as the torches about them sputtered. "Please." she sighed. "You are full of yourself. What an ego trip." A green aura became visible as she began to build up her own attack.
Davona sent a punch, filled with the force of her rage. The vixen ducked, her golden hair flowing in the motion and glinting with fire light. She whirled behind the wolf then kicked the back of her knees on their outside.
Davona fell, the ligaments in her knees painfully torn. But even when she was in that much agony, she leapt back to her feet and punched the vixen's face. There was a slight hiss, almost as if she were descended of a priestess of old. But that couldn't be. None would even think about associating with spirit animals. They were too much like demons.
Kurama growled, his anger racing towards rage. He thrust Albinia into Yusuke's grasp as his energy continued to spiral out of control. The young vixen gasped as a mournful howl heralded the transformation that had been triggered. Molten golden eyes glared at the wolf, frightening her long enough for Amber to recover.
The vixen leapt to her feet, the torn fabric of her dress showing the soot and dirt from the floor of the hallway. Her skin was smudged with the same soot that fell from the torches, but still, she ignored it. She leapt over Davona's head, then landed in front of her friends. She turned around, cloth and hair billowing with her motion. "Stand back." She warned her friend's over her shoulder. Her reiki soared into the upper register as a green globe grew between her hands.
Not recognizing her stance, the wolf demoness laughed and prepared to lunge. Her muscles bunched as she crouched then released as she leapt into the air.
"REIKI WAVE!!!" Amber released the attack with the same ease that she would've released a physical one. When it struck, Davona let out an agonized shriek. The smell of burning fur and incinerated flesh was sickening, but a fair price to pay as the shriek was abruptly cut off. Her attack dissipated, allowing them to see again.
Amber turned, noticing her sister's fright at both her attack and Kurama's transformation. "Relax, Allie." She pulled her twelve-year-old sister into a hug. "Kurama is a spirit fox."
"Demo..."
"Allie, enough. He's merged." She released her sister and turned to her soul mate. "I see you found the trigger."
"Obviously. However, this will take a while to master." Kurama replied. "I apologize for frightening you, Albinia."
Yusuke glanced about uneasily. "We should get going. By now, that bastard probably knows that we're together."
Kurama lifted Allie onto his back as they raced through the halls to the doorway that had been destroyed so long before.
