Chapter 13: Incoming
Ame woke to see the sun shining into her room. She yawned and stood up. She then crept outside and ran back into the forest. She finally stopped in a clear spot and grinned. She closed her eyes and the wind began to pick up. Her skin began to turn purple and was soon replace with purple scales. Her eyes grew white, making it seem like she was a ghost. She looked around and spotted movement. She quickly ran towards it but found only a rabbit. She growled. 'I need flesh.....' She looked around and then spotted the village and grinned.
Laura awoke and found that Sesshoumaru had gone back to his room. She sat up and looked round. She stood up and grabbed her bag. 'I should probably get cleaned up.' She walked outside and began to head into the forest, looking for a hot spring.
Ame leaned against a tree, still in her youkai form. She sniffed the air and caught Laura's scent. She grinned and began to quietly follow her.
Laura came upon a hot spring and smiled. She stripped herself of her clothes and grabbed her shower bag. She sank into the hot spring and sighed deeply as the warm water embraced her body. She leaned against a boulder that was behind her and closed her eyes.
Ame caught sight of Laura and grinned. She cautiously began to creep towards her, her grin growing wider with each step.
Laura's eyes flung open and looked around. She spotted Ame and at first smiled at her. As she saw that Ame kept creeping towards her, her smile faded and she felt fear overcome her. She began to move towards another part of the hot spring.
Ame grinned and then threw herself at Laura. Laura quickly moved and got out of the hot spring. She grabbed her towel and began to run, leaving her things at the hot spring.
Ame hissed as the hot water stung her scales but soon got up. She chased after Laura, gaining on her. She was close now, so close......
Kouga jumped down from the trees and kicked Ame. He grinned and then looked at Laura. "Get back to the village." He turned back to Ame, waiting for her to get up.
Laura nodded and broke into a run.
Ame slowly stood and looked at Kouga. "My, my, what do we have here?" She grinned.
Kouga snorted. "Once I get you knocked out, that little demon of yours is gonna be gone." He charged at Ame, throwing a fist at her. Ame quickly dodged and floated into the air. She grinned and acted like she had a bow with an arrow strung in it. The wind soon turned into a bow and arrow. Ame took aim and shot the arrow at Kouga. Kouga quickly jumped to the side and jumped up into the air, kicking Ame to the ground. He landed and stood up. Ame slowly rose from the ground and smirked at Kouga. She then closed her eyes, chanting in an unknown language. Slowly, the wind around her began to turn black and began to take shape. A long spiked tail came followed by a thin body. Two piercing red eyes appeared and looked at Kouga intently. Kouga smirked and got into a fighting stance. Ame opened her eyes and looked at Kouga. "Black Dragon, see your opponent and finish it." The dragon roared and soared towards Kouga. Kouga quickly ducked but before he could counter, the dragon's tail came around and hit Kouga on the side of his face. He flew backwards and hit a tree. He slowly stood and looked at Ame's back. He saw that that back of her arms and legs were not scaled. Slowly, Ame began to change back into her human form. The dragon began to fade until nothing was left. Ame drifted to the ground, eyes closed. Kouga sighed and knelt down by her. He picked her up and began to carry her back to the village.
Laura looked outside to see Kouga with Ame. From the look of things, it looked as though Ame was dead. Laura stepped outside and ran up to Kouga. She was now in spare clothes Kagome had lent to her. She took Ame from Kouga and looked at Kouga. "Is she dead?" She asked, worry in her voice.
Kouga shook his head. "Nah just passed out." He looked around and spotted Sesshoumaru looking through a crack in the door. He ignored Sesshoumaru and looked at Laura. "Let her rest for now. That's all she needs." He then turn and began to walk away.
"Kouga," Laura began. Kouga stopped and looked at her. "Umm, thanks." She smiled at him. He grinned and then took off into the forest.
She carried Ame back into Sango's room and set her down on the bed. She covered her up and walked out, closing the door behind her. She sighed and looked at Sesshoumaru.
Sesshoumaru felt her staring and looked up to meet her eyes. He smiled gently and motioned for her to sit by him. She nodded and sat down beside him. "You're worried, aren't you?" He asked, wrapping his arm around her. She nodded and leaned against his shoulder. He kissed her forehead. "You heard the wolf, she'll be fine." She nodded and sighed lightly. He held her for a while until everyone else started to wake up.
Laura stood up and headed back into the forest to get her things. She finished washing up and then walked back to the inn. When she re-entered the room, she found everyone, except Ame, up and about. She set her things down inside and then stepped back outside. She sat down on the deck, her legs dangling over the edge. She sighed and stared into the forest. A light breeze came by, blowing her hair around gently. She closed her eyes, letting the wind caress her face and hair. When she opened her eyes, she found two purple eyes staring back at her. She jumped back and then sighed.
"Boo!" Ame shouted. She smiled at Laura and then sat down beside her. "Sorry about what happened....." She sighed. "You see, I have this demon inside of me and sometimes, I have to let her or else she'll kill my friends. That's why she went after you." She looked at Laura. "I'm sorry." She smiled weakly.
Laura smiled at her and hugged Ame. "I forgive you. Just, warn me the next time you're going into the forest to change ok?" She then stood up. "Let's get back inside and have some food." She helped Ame up and together they walked in.
End.
