Chapter 13
Two mighty forces clashed within the forest. One could say it was like the 'clash of the tightens' with the amount of power resonating from them. Flashes of light could be seen as two powerful demons faced off. Everything in their path was being destroyed; plants for example since animals had fled long ago.
Era didn't like the destruction going on, but she didn't have a choice, it was either them or her and she wouldn't die until Van-Gareth did, so she bid them silent apologies.
The battle was raging on with neither side showing signs of giving up anytime soon. At the same time, however, both sides had yet to reveal their full potentials.
Era and Van-Gareth ran at each other and jumped in the air some ways apart. Era went to drive her fist into his face but he ducked and in turn drove his fist into her stomach. Era coughed up a bit of blood before she hit the ground rather had on her front.
Era mentally yelled at herself for making such a stupid mistake before picking herself up off the ground. When she had stood she turned around to see an amused shadowy creature, otherwise known as Van-Gareth, looking at her.
"Tus fientra vel Era," (You fight well Era) Van-Gareth said, "Tusen betre thea lastrast tulven" (you're better than last time).
"Teatra vale vetra aguno tus monstre," (That was long ago you monster) Era declared.
"Odalen, burrar neaden turus vetra aguno faria ulse. Turu ulse, illeal vale al fero lekos aguno," (Perhaps, but not too long ago for us. To us, it was a few weeks ago) Van-Gareth stated like he didn't care.
"Zerag," (True) was Era's only response.
"Levandas enduren la charata," (Let's end the chatting) Van-Gareth said.
Era merely nodded her head and got into her fighting position and once again Van-Gareth was the one to make the first move as he disappeared into the shadow. Instead of staying where she was this time Era darted to her left, following Van-Gareth power.
He came out in front of her and she was barely able to doge him. The force behind the attack however carried a harsh wind that cut into her right cheek enough for it to bleed. Era returned his strike by driving her knee up into his stomach, making him gasp as air rushed from his lungs. Before he could hit the ground he disappeared into the shadows once more.
Already the battle was quite intense and they had not really started using their spirit energy. They were using bits of it within their punches and kicks, if they didn't they would not have even scratch each other, and Van- Gareth's ability to disappear into the shadows did not require spirit energy because it was a natural ability that came with being a shadow demon.
Van-Gareth reappeared in mid air several yards from Era, "Tulven faria tis turu enduren!" (Time for this to end) He yelled and out of nowhere a black spiral void came hurtling in Era's direction.
Era was taken off guard at the sudden use of him using his spirit energy but she had more than enough time to doge by jumping strait in the air. Era found it strange that Van-Gareth had shot it when he was far from her, but her confusion ended quickly when she realized what the void had been intended to hit.
From her peripheral vision she saw two figures followed by a group of others some ways back. She turned, while still in mid air, to get a better look at whom the void was heading for. What she saw made her stomach turn upside down; it was going to hit the very path were Jin and Touya were on.
She gasped knowing the power within the void would kill them if it hit and she wanted to scream out to them, but her voice had died. When she landed on the ground she darted towards them but she knew that she would not be able to reach them in time. They were too far off and she had been stuck in surprise for far too long.
She began to panic as this fact sunk in, what was she to do to save her unsuspecting friends. Suddenly she remembered a technique that she had been try to learn before Van-Gareth had destroyed her home. Now she just hoped that it would work this one time.
As the void continued its journey to her unsuspecting friends she stopped hesitantly and closed her eyes in concentration.
At that same moment Yusuke looked up and stopped dead as he saw the black spiraling void heading for the very path Jin and Touya were on, "Jin, Touya, look out!" he hollered.
The two ahead of them stopped and looked up to see the void heading strait for them and they knew that it was too late to try and evade now. Touya blanched and Jin let out a cry.
"Crud!" Yusuke half yelled. He threw his fist out while yelling "Shot gun!" Many pieces of energy that were oval in shape, Yusuke calls them bullets, went flying toward the void. He had hoped that it would have at least sent it to the side, but the void was completely unaffected.
At the same moment that the 'bullets' hit the void Era appeared out of thin air and brought her arms to chest level, palms facing the ground and a few inches apart. The void looked as if it had crashed right into her but they were really about a foot and a half apart.
She had put up an energy shield just in time.
Both Touya and Jin sighed in relief and color returned to their faces. They soon realized that Era was struggling to hold the void back. She had not been able to form a proper shield in the little time that she had.
"Run... away," she told them between gritting teeth as she tried to concentrate on holding her weak excuse of a shield up; she could do better and she knew it.
They did not have much of a choice, so they ran from harms way and just in time too, for the very second they were out of danger Era's shield broke. She used her spirit energy to bounce back most of the void, sending it hurtling four times as fast back to the unsuspecting Van-Gareth.
He let out a cry as the void, his own attack, crashed into him sending him flying. Era had the same problem, even though she had bounced back most of the attack there was still enough force in the remaining piece to send her flying strait into a broken branch. As the branch penetrated the back of her left shoulder she screamed in pain.
The group looked on in horror as they saw their friend badly injured; she had been hurt more by the tree than the attack itself. They all ran to her as she pulled herself off the tree and fell to her knees.
"Era, are you alright?" Botan asked worriedly, even though she already knew the answer.
Era cringed and pulled herself off her knees so that she stood on her feet, holding the top of her wounded shoulder as she did so. Her white cloths were slowly becoming blood stained with each passing moment as her blood rushed from her wound like a raging river.
When she found her balance she slowly walked passed her concerned friends. She was heading towards Van-Gareth, who was picking himself up off the ground. He looked to be in no better shape than she.
The surprise of the attack had not helped either of them but the force behind the attack had not helped either. However if they had not been caught off guard they could have deflected or destroyed the attack.
"This is what I wanted to avoid," Touya said remorsefully as he looked at his wounded friend, "I ended up hurting her by coming."
Yusuke put a hand on the smaller demon's shoulder, "It was all of us Touya, not just you."
"Vellen utules tis latara," (We'll finish this later) Van-Gareth growled before disappearing into the shadows. His plan had backfired because he had once again underestimated the might of the child named Era, and for that he had paid for it.
He had hoped to kill some of her like he had done in the past by killing her family and friends. But she proved to be smarter and more powerful than before; part of it being that he didn't know she could teleport at will.
"Um, what'd he say?" Kuwabara said.
"How are we supposed to know Kuwabara, none of us understand the ancient language," Koenma reminded him.
"It was probably some mean kind of farewell since I don't sense him anywhere," Shishiwakamaru said.
"Then why don't you go look and make sure you don't see anything," Suzuka said, "That would be more reassuring."
"Fine," Shishiwakamaru said with a sigh before changing into his true form; a little creature about one and a half times the size of Suzuka's fully extended hand. He wore a purple robe, which hid his tiny hands in its long sleeves, he had little feet with three toes, two tiny horns on both sides of his forehead, small pointed ears and his hair was the same as in his human form except that his bangs did not defy gravity.
Shishiwakamaru flew up into the sky, he doesn't need wings or anything he just uses his spirit energy, and looked about.
It was true that Van-Gareth's power had vanished when he went into the shadows, but that didn't mean he was long gone. He could be lurking in the shadows near them, waiting to attack at any given moment.
The wind picked up so that a light breeze blew when Shishiwakamaru returned and perched on Suzuka's shoulder. The wind blew through Era's hair sending lightly to her right; she had not moved an inch since Van-Gareth had left.
Suzuka looked down at his small demon friend, "See anything Shishi?" The little demon just shook his head.
"He's gone guys," Suzuka informed the rest of his friends.
Touya nodded his head and looked to Era who still had not moved an inch. He walked over her to find her with her eyes closed and head bowed. "Era," he said her name lightly but he got no response, "Come on, let's get you healed," still no response came. "Era?" He asked worriedly
She neither moved nor spoke, she just stood as if she wasn't really there, as if she were... dead.

Uh oh.... What's going to happen to Era? Is Van-Gareth really gone?
I don't want to discontinue the story so PLEASE REVIEW!!
