Chapter 2: One Fight To Another

Relapse: Liz speaking- Now ladies and gentlemen you might remember where we left our characters. A wounded Dae had just met a stunning silver haired kitsune, Youko, and his companions Hiei, the fire demon, and Munin, the raven demon. When we left them enemies were on the horizon. On with the show!!!

Curtains open

"Toguros!" Dae screamed as large silhouettes began to fill the sky.

"Damn them." Youko growled as Hiei put himself in a defensive position.

"Munin how many are there?" Hiei yelled.

"At least fifty, maybe more." Munin answered as he pulled his twin swords from his hip sheaths.

"You must have caused a lot of trouble for them to send this many slim balls after you." Youko said to Dae as he continued to face forward.

"Well I did kill a good portion of them. Revenge is a bitter thing." Dae answered as the fogginess in her head subsided as adrenaline began to pump through her veins. "Hey Youko, get out of here. They're coming for me after all. I can take them."

"No, not in the condition you're in. Besides my friends and I are bored and this looks interesting." Youko answered as he walked until he was in between his to friends.

Hiei charged forward driving his katana through the chest of the nearest demon, wrenching the heart of the demon out of its body when he withdrew the blade. Raven quickly joined the battle ascending to take on the demons that had not yet landed. Youko removed a rose from his hair and quickly transformed it into a whip. With a snap of his wrist, he swiftly made mince meat of several demons that were attempting to surround him. The battle continued for several minutes until only the three fighters and the injured female remained.

"That was fun." Hiei said as the adrenaline began to fade.

"I guess I should say thanks." Dae said as she pulled her body from the ground and limped toward them.

"Nah that was our fun for the day." Munin answered as he peeled some drying flesh from his arm.

"Why did you kill them anyway?" Youko asked as he put the rose back into his hair.

"The oldest Toguro thought I was.how'd he put it.exotic and wanted me as a "pet". I refused and ran. That's when he sent them after me. I slaughtered them but unfortunately got injured. Then I ended up here and well you know the rest. Who are you two anyway?" Dae said pointing at Hiei and Munin.

"Skunk boy over there is Hiei," Munin said sarcastically. "And I'm Munin."

"Stupid bird boy." Hiei muttered throwing an evil glare in Munin's direction.

"Dae. Pleasure." Dae answered as she collapsed to the ground.

"You sure you're ok?" Munin asked as he examined her wounds from a distance.

"Yeah I'm-" Dae froze as a wave fear swept through her. "Not him."

"Him who?" Hiei's voice trailed off as he too felt the presence of none other than the older Toguro.

The trio of men took a step towards the new intruder.

"Something you need?" Youko asked venomously as Hiei glared.

Older Toguro returned the glare and answered sinisterly, "Nothing of importance to you, I just want that delectable little kitsune behind you."

"I'm not going with you bastard!" Dae yelled as she jumped from the ground.

Older Toguro sneered, "Big words for a wounded female who is hiding behind three weaklings."

"Who you calling weak you pansy!" Hiei yelled as he charged. Older Toguro laughed as he grabbed Hiei's sword seconds before it pierced his flesh.

"Tsk tsk tsk, attacking an enemy that is so much stronger than you. Bad move little man." Older Toguro laughed as he blasted Hiei through several trees before he came to rest.

"Hiei!" Munin yelled as his blood boiled in anger. "Why you little bastard!"

"Munin no! Wait!" Youko yelled but it was futile. Munin jumped into the air, spread his wings, and with swords drawn, dive bombed towards the older Toguro.

"Dumb approach , bird boy. You left yourself open!" Older Toguro yelled as splayed his finger and pushed all of his power into them. Older Toguro's body flexed as his finger jetted into the air, slicing through Munin's wings. With a cry of pain, Munin plunged downward and hit the ground hard.

"Munin! Hiei!" Youko yelled as he looked at his wounded friends. "I'm gonna beat your-"

"Youko! Stop! NO!" Dae yelled but Youko ignored her. He re-converted his rose whip and slashed out vigorously at the smirking demon.

Older Toguro dodged the assault and jumped above the kitsune.

"What a shame. You're just too strong to keep alive. Oh well, now die!"

Older Toguro prepared to deliver the fatal blow when several shots of lightening struck him in the chest in face, knocking his into an adjacent tree.

"What the-" Youko said as he followed the path of the lightening see a panting Dae. "Dae that was you?"

"Umm yeah. I only stunned him. Take your friends and get away." Dae said as she continued to pant.

"No! I never leave a fight!" Youko said angrily.

"Youko.look out!" Dae screamed but it was too late. Older Toguro had regained his senses from her attack and was seconds from shoving his hand through Youko's stomach. Time seemed to freeze as something deep within Dae cracked then shattered. Older Toguro stopped his attack as Dae's body began to glow deep green. Pulsations thudded to and fro as deep green incantations imprinted themselves on her body; starting at her forehead and extending down her face, to her neck and shoulders, as they stopped at her breast, but continued to her fingertips. Dae's eyes, in their deep flaming radiance, turned towards the pair. Youko suddenly felt the hair on the back of his neck stand on end as the pressure near him took a sudden heavier change. Moments later, the feeling passed and he turned to see the older Toguro no longer by him, but a very pissed kitsune. He turned all the way around to see the landscape behind him bare: trees and grass turned into piles along side of a deep trench.

"What was that?" Hiei yelled as he pulled himself from the rubble.

"Yeah." Munin agreed as he surveyed the mess.

"You're ok?" Dae asked without turning around.

"Huh ya?" Youko answered. "We're all fine."

"Good."

At these words, Dae collapsed into Youko's chest; her green aura fading into nothing taking the incantations with them. Youko caught her and brought her to his chest, supporting her with both arms.

"Well that was a more interesting turn of events." Munin said as he ran his hand through his hair.

Caught up in the relief of the moment the trio had failed to detect the auras of two, very, mad demonesses.

"What are you doing with our sister?" A voice said darkly.

Munin and Hiei turned around just in time to be pinned to a tree by the cloaked pair. Hiei, refusing to be bested by a woman, slashed madly at the demoness shredding her cloak.

"You little." The demoness cried as she grabbed the shredded cloth and tore it from her body reveling a stunning dog demon. Her long silver hair resembled Youko, but was a bit lighter. Her angry, molten, gold eyes burned with malice as she charged the fire demon once again. Hiei dodged the next attack and tried to slice her back open only to be knocked out of the air by a barrage of fire balls. Hiei, taken back, quickly sprang to his feet only to stand dumbfounded at the sight before him. The demoness's hands were engulfed in a steadily burning flame. The tips of her hair were also ignited but didn't burn up; instead the flames grew and subsided as her hair flipped in the breeze.

Munin was in about a bad a predicament. The clocked fighter continued to send razor sharp ice shards in his directions. He managed to dodge most of them and throw one of his swords in her direction, pinning her to a tree. The cloaked figure's shoulder remained pinned as she used her power the freeze the tree and the ground around it. She quickly raised her elbow and shattered the tree, freeing herself. As the ground began to freeze beneath his feet, Munin decided it was best the take flight even if he still was injured. Unfortunately, he didn't get far because the ice demoness froze his sword and chunked it in his direction. Defenseless, it quickly impaled Munin's right wing. Seconds before Munin hit the ground he felt a cold breeze shove him to the tree which iced over, freezing him to it. The cloaked figure, walked to him and remover her hood. Her aquamarine eyes bore deep into Munin's as she turned to face her still fighting companion.

"Faen, This one's taken care of. I'm going after their leader." She yelled at the fire demoness.

"Sure Amani. Go ahead!" Faen answered as she pounced toward Hiei once again.

Amani twisted to look at Munin again.

"You look secure." She said as she began to walk away.

"Wait!" Munin shouted. "What are you doing?"

"As I said, I'm attacking your leader." Amani answered.

"He's not our leader. We don't have a leader."

"Well, then I'm going to kill your friend. Is that better?"

"No you're not woman!"

Amani's light blue hair seemed to shimmer as in the moonlight as it shifted around her pale skin. Her eyes glowed a deep blue as she grabbed his crouch. Munin screamed in pain as a frost began to grow on the outside of his pants and then traveled inside.

"Humph. Try and stop me." Amani said as she turned away from the suffering raven-demon.
