The New Eastern Lord P.3

Kikia was siting against a tree, while Kouga was washing his face in the river near by. Kikia sighed as she thought she heard something. 'Hmm...probably just a demon bird or something...' She thought as she stood up and unsheathed her sword. Kouga heard the noise of her unsheathing her sword, and walked back up to her.

"What is it Kikia?" He said watching her and looking around. Kikia stood there sword touching the ground.

"He's-s-s-s coming-g-g-g...." She said in a rather hypnotic trance.

"Who's coming?" He said looking around.

"Inu-Ya-a-sha..." She said, snapping out of the trance, just as Inu-Yasha came into the clearing.

"What do you want mutt-face?" Said Kouga about to attack, when Kikia held him back.

"What gives Kikia?" said Kouga confused..

"Just wait Kouga..." She said, Pointing her sharp, skinny sword at InuYasha.

"Whats with you, Kikia?" Said InuYasha, walking towards her. She slashed her sword at him, leting a exhausted sigh out.

"heh heh" InuYasha said, under his breath. ' Nows my chance!' He thought.

"Iron-reaver-soul-stealer!!!" Said InuYasha, attacking Kikia, as she got hit and blown away, leaving a deep hole in the ground. Kikia groaned as she got up, fuming at InuYasha.

"What the hell was that for Dog-crap?!" She said, walking back over to him, eyes glowing red from anger.

"heh heh, You should know, Kikia." Inuyasha said, charging at her once more, when Kouga blocks him.

"What'd she ever do to you mutt-face?!?!" Said Kouga, trying to block Inuyasha from reaching Kikia.

"Feh. Fine." Inuyasha said, and leaving. Kouga quickly turned around to Kikia. The many cuts from Inuyasha attack were bleeding freely.

Kouga was worried, very worried. "Maybe I should go back to the cave..." He said, while picking Kikia up, and running back to his cave.

"Hey Kouga! Got us some dinner I see!" Said one of his pack members. Kouga give him the worst death-stare he had gave anyone. He took Kikia back to his room and sat her on his "bed". Kouga left and told Ginta to watch over Kikia while he found someone to heal Kikia. "TanTaki! C'mon, It''s Kikia again!" Said Kouga rushing back to his room, while TanTaki followed. TanTaki bandaged up Kikia, and then left. "Ginta, you can leave and go to bed now." Said Kouga, Laying down next to Kikia. He wraped his arm around her waist, and soon fell asleep.

Soon it was morning and Kikia woke up, and when't outside for some fresh air. She was feeling much better. She sat outside on a rock, and waited for Kouga to wake up. Kouga woke up, and wondered where Kikia was. He walked outside to find her siting on a rock.

"Morning Kikia!" He said siting down next to her.

"Hey, Kouga. I was wondering if we could leave soon, my Journey isn't getting anywhere..." She said getting up from the rock and pulling the sling off her arm, and moving it around.

"Ah, much better." She said while walking down the path out of Kouga's cave.

"Hey, wait up Kikia!" He said following her.

They walked quietly for a few hours when Kikia droped to the ground, sniffing it.

"Don't turn into mutt-face on me, Kikia." Kouga said with a teasing eye.

"I'm not." She said before she paused.

"Kouga, quick!" She said, as she pulled him behind a tree. A huge hord of demons came flying through the path they were on. Kikia's eyes narrowed, as she looked around the tree's truck.

"Naraku's demons..." She said, her eyes tearing up. She slid down the truck of the tree and sat down, holding her head.

"Whats wrong, Kikia?" Kouga said, never seeing her eyes so sad, so, brimming with anger. She removed her hand from her head, and sighed.

"Naraku...Killed my friends 20 years ago...In a long-lasting battle of strenghth, Witts, and skill, We fought for three days almost non-stop. But, Naraku was stronger than he had ever been. He absorded Kagura and Kanna... While controling the wind around us, he also reflected most of our strongest attacks, even our TiChani didn't phase him, On the third day... Kashi, Ryouga, and Sutefu all died..." She said, eyes filled with tears and memories of her friends, and that final fight.

"Except for me, I managed to attack him from behind, enough to make him leave.". Soon her tears became heart-wrenching sobs. Kouga sat down next to her, and held her, trying to make her feel better.

"It's okay Kikia." He whispered in her ear, as she cryed into his shoulder. He stoked her her long, silver hair, claming her down. Soon the sadness turned to anger and hatred. Soon she realized something becoming a bit happier.

"Wait a minute....If Naraku's demons are out....That means its a new moon tonight!" She said, perking up. Kouga was confused.

"How will that help anything...?" He asked.

"Naraku's a half-demon! He loses his powers on a new moon, just like mutt-face!" She remined him. "He'll be weak and human tonight, and tonight ONLY!" "We have to strike!" She said, walking behind the demons.

"Yo, demons!" She said, unsheathing her sword, and holding it above her head.

"Fire-Demon-Wind-Dancers!" She shouted, and a spinning around in a flaming whirlwind, destroying the demon hord.

"Holy crap......." Kouga said, amazed at her attack.

"Whats up Kouga? C'mon! We don't have all day!!" She shouted, starting to run as fast as her legs could take her.

"Whoa, I'm coming!!" He shouted, and catching up with Kikia.

After walking through a dead forest, a purple gas barrier stoped them.

"Oh crap, why his miasma, why..." She said to her self, thowing her arms in the air. "Wait a minute..." Kikia walked through the barrier without a scratch or poisoning.

Kouga walked through also. She soon saw a sight of Naraku's castle. Kikia gasped as she realized it was the same castle she fought at 20 years ago with her friends.

"It's... the same castle..."She said, when poisonous vine shot up from the ground, grabing Kikias arms and legs holding her in the air.

"Oh, just perfect." she said, struggling around.Kouga tryed to strike the vines, but they knocked him back everytime. A giant hole in the ground opened up and the vines pull Kikia down into it, when she grabed the edge of the wall, with the vines tuging endlessly on her legs.

"H-he-hel-help...m-me..." She managed to get out, while Kouga held onto her arms. Her eyes flashed red, she let one arm go and slashing the vines away and climbing back up.

"K-Kikia, you okay?" Kouga asked.

"Y-Yeah... Lets keep going..." She said getting up and continuing to the castle. They soon reached his castle and when't inside.

"Whoa..this place is weird..." She said looking around, when she found a door to a old rotting cellar, under the basement.

Then, they found Naraku.
