~ Take it slow ~
Kagome blocked a back swing of Ferlias's blade, and then thrust her own directly at his face. He flinched barely avoiding the tip that was heading for his eye. Kagome pressed forward bringing her up to slash him across the chest. She shifted to the right and threw her elbow into his unguarded side. A small glow of her miko energy at the point of impact told her she had to put more of her power into each contact. Ferlias stumbled, a hand going to the site that she had injured his face drawn with pain.
~ Keep yourself focused ~
Ferlias stepped up, his sword already moving in for a slash across her chest. She twisted to the left, her sword slipping up and off of his blade, deflecting it neatly. She turned into him, her free hand sought and found his stomach, and the intense force that flowed through the contact thrust Ferlias backwards. She followed through with the movement ending up facing him her eyes locked on him waiting for his next move.
~ Do not become overconfident ~
Ferlias paused only long enough to catch his breath then rushed her. She braced herself. He feinted to the left and she thinking too far ahead followed to block, as she did he spun and sent his fist into her cheek knocking her to the ground in an instant. Before she could recover he was on top of her, his clawed hand clenched around her throat, which began to burn instantly from lack of oxygen. His claws were digging into the back of her neck and she could feel her blood as it dripped down his claws to fall to the ground. His breath was hot and putrid as he moved slightly forward and inhaled deeply a sound of revolting pleasure coming from deep in his chest.
"What an intoxicating scent. I will drink your blood miko; this will be the most satisfying death I have ever caused. I owe you...oh how I owe you. For all those decades I spent in the emptiness of the void waiting for your death, dreaming of it until all I could smell was the scent of your blood and all I could think of was the feel of your death by my hands. I have waited an eternity in darkness for these precious moment of your pain." He whispered to her, his eyes wild.
She stared angrily up into his triumphant face, dropped her sword, and wrapped her fingers around his wrist. Her hands blazed with her power and the smell of burning flesh filled her nose. With a strangled cry he released her. She grabbed her sword and took the opportunity to use her power to propel her self through his legs, rolling as she did so. She quickly pushed herself up and in an instant she moved forward, ripping the serrated edge deeply across his back. Blood instantly soaked the back of his robe around the edge of the serious wound but Ferlias only turned to her, not reacting to what should have been a painful experience. She backed up a few steps, confused.
"You will have to do better then that" Ferlias chuckled darkly.
"Trust me...I am only just beginning to do damage to you Ferlias. I owe YOU." She hissed back at him.
He laughed.
~ Do not allow yourself to be drawn into his game ~
Kagome circled to the right and Ferlias followed suit the opposite way. She could feel her blood running down her back from the wounds on her neck, she hadn't thought the injury serious enough to cause such bleeding but she ignored it in favor of keeping herself alive as Ferlias jumped at her, producing an additional blade in his free hand, one only slightly smaller then his giant curved blade. With both he struck at her, she parried with her weapon, blocking both attacks. Ferlias then changed tactics and swung his larger sword downward at her as the other came at her from the right. She raised her sword to block the one coming down and put out her other hand, which flamed a bright white. The extra blade skated along the light as if blocked by a shield, and then she spun under his arm setting him off balance. As he bent over she placed her blazing hand over the wound she had caused earlier and grit her teeth against the pain caused by and intense pulse of energies that flowed eagerly as she made contact with his blood. Ferlias howled in agony and moved from her in a flash. When he turned back to her his face was a mask of unadulterated wrath.
~ Gain the upper hand slowly...keep him off balance ~
Ferlias's breath was heavy with the agony she had just inflicted.
~ That is how we will win. His body itself is strong but his inner being is not impervious to our power. Use this to our advantage ~
Kagome scanned over Ferlias's body, her mind active with ways to cause him more damage. His disadvantage was that he was so large in this form and her petite size made it difficult for him to react fast enough. He was clumsy in his fury and left opening for her to slip under his defenses. As she looked at him his expression grew calmer and a very disconcerting smile crossed his face. She eyed him warily.
"You love the half breed don't you little miko" Ferlias asked his voice smooth and quiet.
She blinked at him in surprise, "What?"
He nodded as if something had just occurred to him, "Yes you do...disgusting as it is. Would it surprise you to know that you have ALWAYS loved him?"
