chapter 4. The Fight
A tall and slender figure ran through a forest. It's red eyes watching as it's prey walked slowly. The creatures face and body hidden by it's long black hooded cloak.
"Kouga." it muttered in a hushed voice. As it spoke, it's breath appeared in the frozen air around it. It's voice ruff and strong in an evil sort of way. It's red eyes lay half open as they watch Kouga walk along.
Kouga stopped suddenly. He felt the presence of another nearby. He growled inwardly as he readied his claws. He turned around and into a fighting stance. He blinked a few times. Before him stood, Ayame. He regained his composure instantly.
'Oh shit! I'm gonna get it now.' he thought. She could have been watching him while he was with Sora. He turned his back to her, trying to avoid her gaze. That's when he felt claws hitting his flesh and cool blood seeping down his back.
He fell forward, onto the cold ground. The pain he felt was horrible. He turned himself over so he could look at his attacker. Ayame stood with her claws, covered in blood. A smirk had crossed onto her face. An evil glint in her eyes as she stood still as a tree.
"Ayame, why?" Kouga muttered painfully. She moved her head downward, so her eyes could meet Kouga's. Something was off. Her eyes were blank like endless pits of darkness. He forced himself up into a sitting position.
"Why? I'll tell you why!" she yelled at him. "First, you loved Kagome and now, you like her daughter! It was supposed to be you and me together, no one else!" she yelled. Her facial expression turned to anger and hatred as she lungded at him once more.
Kouga winced in pain as her claws dug into his flesh, bringing more blood and pain. She stood up straight again and pulled out her blade. She slashed at him several times, until he laid in his own blood.
"Your pitiful." she muttered under her breath. Kouga's blood dripped from her fangs, claws, and blade. She smirked evily at him as he winced with pain. "Now die." she said while raising her blade above his heart.
Kouga watched with fear as her hateful face glared down at him and the end of the blade, just barely touched his flesh. He shut his eyes, in hopes it would make this a less painful death.
Sora ran out of her home. She heard people yelling and screaming. She had brought no weapons with her and stopped at the sight of Ayame ready to kill Kouga.
"Don't!" she yelled as she rushed forward and tackled Ayame from behind. She dropped her blade as the two hit the ground not far from Kouga.
Ayame pushed off Sora and shoved her to the ground. Sora was about to get up when Ayame's claw came to her throat. Sora practicaly held her breath as Ayame grew ever closer to killing her. Her eyes grew large as a black figure emerged from behind Ayame.
She didn't have time to react before, he grabbed her by the neck and flung her into a nearby tree. Ayame looked to be down for the count from a large hit to the head. The figure turned it's red glowing eyes to Sora now. Sora backed up trying to get away from this creature.
It advanced towards her until she was trapped. Her back hit a tree trunk as the figure knelt down. Sora closed her eyes in fear that it would kill her. After a moment, she reopened her eyes. The figure had a clawed hand outstretched to her.
After a moment of just looking at it's hand, she finally put her hand in it's and it helped her up. Once she was up, it pointed towards the horizon where, the sun was just rising. She smiled as a pulse came from her. Then her demonic outlook and powers came back. She looked up at the figure. She gasp in surprise.
It was smiling too. She could see it's pearly fangs, as the morning sunlight glistened off them.
"A pleasure." it said softly as he took a sweeping bow to her. She just looked up at his shadowed face and nodded as a response. And for one small moment, she completely forgot about Kouga. Then she heard him moan in pain.
She instantly left, the figure and ran to Kouga's side. She looked back, and the figure was gone. She was overcome with confusion and bewilderment at what had just happened, and who that person was.
