-=-=-=-5. A Fight Without Meaning-=-=-=-

"My father would want allies." Hreru contemplating with himself.

"Why does he want to kill you?" Solice asked, her eyes widdening with questions.

"Because I couldn't stand all the killing. Constant killing for a bunch of worthless magical jewels. Such a waste." He sighed, coming out from the shadows and standing before her with an all serious gaze in his eyes. "With me alive, no one can take over the Wolf Clan. Well, they could but it would only be a false royalty. And father does not want that."

It was quiet for a while until Solice broke the silence. "I was promised protection if I killed you, you know." She wandered away from the subject of their conversation. "The Black Wolves promised to defend our village."

"It's foolish to believe Ephrine."

"It may be, for believing you as well." She quickly unsheathed her daggers, the silver steel glistening.

"Then you are a fool." Said Hreru. Solice leaped towards him again, meeting a face full of twisted black cloak. "You can't catch me."

Solice furiously yanked the cloak away from her face letting it fall empty beside her, Hreru was behind her everywhere laughing at her futile attempts to find him.

"Stay still!" Solice screamed, her voice bursting with rage. Hreru appeared and grabbed her wrists, slightly cutting into them with his claws to punish her. He then pushed her to the ground where she landed roughly with a cry. The weapons were out of her reach and Solice was on her back, desperately trying to crawl away in the dirt.

"Do you still wish to fight?" Hreru walked towards her smirking. Each of his steps replied by a whimper of panic from Solice.

"I won't give up until I see you dead!" She cried, tears streaming down her face.

Hreru frowned and blinked at her. "Now that's not very nice."

"Get away from me!" Solice grabbed the nearest thing she could get her hands on which happened to be a rock the size of her hand. She launched it right at him.

Hreru caught it, smashing the rock in his hand with such ease. He was scaring her alright. He absolutely loved it.

Solice's mouth opened and a squeal of fright escaped, suddenly forming into a choked scream. "SOMEBODY HELP ME!!!"

He went towards her. Just then, a flare of pain shot up his arm and prickling warmth took over. Hreru turned to face his enemy.

"Get away from her!" A young woman demanded aiming a bow. Hreru growled, looking at his shoulder pierced with an arrow. The woman strung another, daring him to come for her.

"Who in the hell are you!?" Hreru roared.

(A/N: Not gonna bother explaining what the Inuyasha group looks like. You should already know)

"KAGOME!" A figure emerged from the bushes. "Kagome! What are you-" Inuyasha stopped, blinking at Hreru. "Who?"

"He was attacking this woman." Kagome glared at Hreru.

"Alright!" Inuyasha smirked and hunched over, his claws ready at his sides. "Why don't you pick on someone who can fight back?" He mocked.

"I wasn't picking on her. She was trying to kill me." Hreru stood, gripped the end of Kagome's arrow and wrenched it free. No blood. The wound quickly closed.

"Trying to kill you, huh?" Inuyasha glanced at Solice. "Yeah, uh-huh."

"Right then. If you agree to settle this with a fight then let's go." Hreru grinned and the arrow snapped in his hand. This was the bell for Round 1.

Inuyasha nodded, grinning back.

Hreru flexed his claws and bolted forward. Inuyasha followed.
