Kouga v. Inuyasha, Final Standoff Part 1
~
The wind howled a chilling howl, as the miasma cloud above the battlefield became thicker. The animals as well as youkai had long sense fled the forest. The stench of hate hung thick in the air. Two figures stood alone on the battlefield. A blur of red and of brown, of silver and of black. Two angry figures. The hanyou Inuyasha, and the wolf youkai Kouga. Floating, someway above them, were two more figures, anger between those two as well. One with the Shikon no tama within his veins, the other pumping full youkai blood, but with a mikos heart. The hanyou/Miko Serenity, and the hanyou Narahiko. And faded to the shadows behind Kouga, were yet two more figures, not involved in either battle, his offspring. Mina and Akirou. Mina, looking on with mild concern. Akirou with his eyes placed on the sky, them sparkling with curiosity, them fixed on Serenity. Inuyashas eyes narrowed dangerously as Kouga took his stance in front of him.
The smell, the look, the attitude, it was all the same as before with Kouga. Inuyasha barley acknowledged the two behind him. It didnt matter. The only person he saw as Kouga, his opponent. Though, a part of him stayed aware of Serenity and Narahiko. But still, thoughts of the past came flooding into his mind. The insults, showing up unexpected, clutching Kagome as thought she was his. Anger filled him, boiled his blood, made red all he could see. But Kagomes words echoed into his mind, how she would always tell him to calm down. Those words he tried to hold on to now. Closing his eyes he took a deep breath. Letting the air fill his lungs before releasing it. He was not the same hanyou as he was back then. He had...grown. Ever sense Kagomes disappearance, he had promised not to be so stubborn, not to be as childish as he was before. But there were times when his old self would shine through, and he would be as he was. That was when it hurt the worse. When he could remember more clearly and his heart would shatter all over again. He thought, when he was betrayed once by love, he would never let another person close to him, never let another person in. He didnt want to get hurt again.
Kouga looked upon Inuyasha in hate, his eyes burning into Inuyashas golden ones. Years of anger, of hate and resentment, were surfacing in Kougas mind. That after the pursuit he had done, that this hanyou had won. That he had gotten Kagome. Kouga didnt care now that Kagome loved him. That she might hate him for killing Inuyasha. All he thought about was the one thing standing before him. Again, standing in his way of Kagome. After years of wondering about Kagome, of what became of the one he loved. After mating with another and her baring his cubs, his heart still belonged to Kagome. Growling Kouga took his fighting stance, his arm outstretched. Sure he was not as fast as he was back then with the shards in his legs, but he was still Kouga, Leader of the Wolf Tribe. He was still strong and confident he could beat this mutt, even without the shards he was faster then Inuyasha. All that concerned Kouga, was the matter of the sword, The Tetsuagia.
"Inuyasha, lets finally end this!"
Kouga said through gritted teeth and a growl of anger. Inuyasha just smiled his old self shinning through.
"You aint got to tell me twice you mangy wolf."
Inuyasha said, him to taking his stance. His right claw outstretched in front of him, not wanting to wield the power of his sword...yet. He wanted to see how much Kouga had grown in the pass thirteen years, more so how much he himself had. All the searching he had done, the searching for Kagome, he had increased his power and strength, now was a good time to try it all out. His new attacks as well as his old.
Before Inuyashas eyes could even see, Kouga had moved from his spot, moving with speed that seemed to surpass anything he had ever seen. Inuyasha was thrown backwards, splitting a tree and hitting another one hard. Kouga smirked.
"Is that ALL you have?! This will be over quick..."
"Dont get to confident..."
Came a low voice from within the tree where Inuyasha had been thrown. The sound of ruffled leaves being walked on angrily met the wolfs ears. Kouga just smiled, knowing that the attack was not enough to defeat one that had helped defeat Naraku. Kouga went to charge at him, claw outstretched, prepared to slice through his flesh and smell the spilling of his blood. But no such attack came, at least not on Inuyasha. What he has sliced thro was a tree. It fell, crashing to the ground. Kouga quickly put his guard up, looking around him. He had lost Inuyasha.
"Iron Revere Soul Stealer!"
Came the loud voice of Inuyasha. Kouga went to dodge the attack, barley being able to miss it, it slicing a few strains of his hair. But he was not skilled enough to dodge the follow up attack, as Inuyashas fist came into contact with Kougas stomach. He doubled over, and Inuyasha landed beside him.
"Come on Kouga, your fighting like an amateur."
Inuyasha said mockingly.
"Father get up!"
Came the sweet voice of Mina. Inuyasha looked pass Kouga for a moment, into the shadows seeing the two figures, his smirk widening.
"Now Kouga, do you want to loose in front of your cubs?"
Inuyasha said, extending his claw once more in stance, as Kouga rose to his feet.
"Shut up you mutt!"
Kouga said running towards him, his fist outstretched. Inuyasha dodged the first few punches, barley missing the last one, to counterattack him with a punch to the face, which he quickly recovered from and came back with ace speed, hitting Inuyasha in the face with his foot, sending him flying backwards. He flipped, scrapping his claws along the ground to stop from hitting the trees behind him. He lifted up, spitting blood from his mouth.
"Not bad..."
Kouga stood up, almost standing toe to toe, face to face, well as close as you can get ten feet apart, with Inuyasha. And in a flash almost unseen they were at it again.
Not far from the battlefield, watching thro parted leafs with a twisted smile on his face, was Sesshoumaru. He had been watching ever sense the beginning. He had watched as Serenity was under Narahikos control, as she fought. As Miroku told Inuyasha of her. Sesshoumaru had already known. He could smell it on her. He watched, as Kagome sacrificed herself to save her daughter. Still not fully understanding a humans compassionate connection with its offspring, tho this was a perfect example for it. And he watched, as Serenity transformed, his eyes widening and a prickle of fear running down his spine, as it did when Inuyasha had transformed. But Serenity was...different. She did not loose herself as Inuyasha did. She stayed in full control. Thought Sesshoumaru could sense the breaking of her body and soul even now. The purity of the youkai blood was to much for her frail form to sustain, as it was and still is for Inuyashas. Sesshoumaru suspected, it was the miko heart that kept Serenity her mind. And he could sense that fading.
~ She could be a great fighter. Should she have the right training...~
Floating above the battlefield, another battle was raging on. Almost fully concealed within the Miasma cloud, making it hard to follow. Thought one pair of eyes seemed to be doing a good job of it, them locked on an attacking Serenity.
"What a wonder..."
He said softly to himself, catching the attention of his younger sister.
"What?" Mina asked.
"Nothing Mina." Akirou muttered not taking his eyes from the wonder that was....Serenity.
