Kaida Okami – The Beginning
Chapter Seventeen
Final Fight
Kaida launched herself at Ryu, viciously. His eyes widened as he tried to fight her
off.
Where is her strength coming from?
He asked himself, struggling to block her attacks, even with the dagger. Kaida kicked out
suddenly, kicking the dagger out of his hand. It spun around in the air a few times before
plummeting back to earth......and into Kaida's outstretched waiting hand. Kaida took
advantage of Ryus surprise. She grabbed him by the shirt collar and slammed him against
a tree. Kaida positioned the dagger at eye level with Ryu. In the exact same position it
had been when facing her moments ago. Kaida could smell the fear radiating off of Ryu
in waves. Ryu faced his vengeful sister, expecting a sardonic smirk and blood thirsty
smile. Kaida stared back, eyes sad, even regretful. Kaida pulled the dagger back and Ryu
closed his eyes, expecting to feel the dagger pierce his skull. A loud thud sounded next to
his ear and he opened one eye to see the dagger impeded to the hilt in the tree. He looked
questioningly to Kaida.
"I am responsible for the death of your mother, your father, your friend." He said.
"I tore your would apart and ruined your life for ever. Yet you hesitate to kill me. Why?"
he cried, his calm demeanor long gone.
Kaida bowed her head, searching for an answer she didn't have. Suddenly, her head shot
up and she turned to look at the bushes Hiei had emerged from, not long ago. Kurama
and Yusuke stood, emerging from the shrubs, followed by the rest of the group. Girls
included.
Kurama spoke for her.
"Dragon demons of all kinds are the cruelest of the demons. They have no friends,
only expendable allies used to gain power. Family means nothing to them, just another
jeopardy to their power. You and Kaida however, are not pure Dragon." Kuramas eyes
met Kaidas. "You are also part wolf. Although you are siblings, you could not be more
different. In Kaida's blood runs the compassion of her mother, a wolf demon." Kurama
turned his hardened gaze to Ryu. "You how ever, have the brutality and bloodlust of your
father. In your blood runs only one desire, to have power and control."
Kaida nodded, understanding and turned to Ryu.
"The only reason I don't kill you now, is my bloodline is at war. The Dragon half
of me, witch is normally suppressed, screams for your death. My wolf half, however,
screams and fights against killing a family member."
Ryus eyes showed his relief.
She cant kill me. Im going to live.
He thought.
Kaida lashed out viciously, striking him hard in the side of the head.
"But your still a dead man."
He heard her whisper, before blacking out.
"Hiei-kun!!" Yukina's cry brought Kaida out of her inner war. Kaida spun around
and ran to Hiei. He was covered in sweat, his eyes dilated and breath rasping and shallow. Kaida swore.
"The poisons spread through his entire body." She told the others. "I can stop it."
Yukina looked at her, then back at Hiei.
"You can try." She said softly.
Kaida closed her eyes and nodded, placing one hand above Hiei's heart, and one directly
covering the cut where the poison had entered. Kaida summoned all the energy she had \,
allowing it to flow gently to her hands and into Hiei's body. She started working, using
her spirit energy to burn away all traces of the poison in his blood. Her hands began to
shake and she struggled to keep them still, a small sweat breaking out on her forehead.
I don't have enough energy.
She thought desperately.
I cant do it.
Suddenly, she felt a hand on hers. She opened her eyes and looked up to see Yukina, eyes
determined, channeling her energy to Kaida. Botan came up behind her, to do the same.
Then Kurama, then Yusuke, then Kuwabara. Kaida smiled gratefully at them and closed
her eyes to concentrate. Carefully, she used their combined spirit energy and burned
away the remaining poison. Then she healed his initial wound. Kaida opened her eyes
briefly and sank to the ground. Her eyes closed again. Slowly blacking out, Kaida heard
with some amusement, Kuwabara, saying that he was most defiantly not going to carry
her or Hiei home.
a/n Sorry for the long update period umm thingy. Yeah, anyway, I've got the next chapter in progress so just be a little patient and I'll get it up eventually. Ja ne.
