It was starting to snow yet again as Jakotsu walked to InuYasha's village. The snow had risen about two more feet in that area, making a total of about four or five. Since the snow didn't seem to stop, it would probably get much higher later on in the day. This was the most snow Japan had ever seen since, well. since ever, really. The winters weren't normally this cold.
Speaking of cold, a sudden gust of wind blew down on Jakotsu, nearly sending him face first into the snow. "Son of a bitch," he muttered to himself as he tried to regain his balance. "I hate this."
He continued trudging through the cold, powdery white stuff, trying to fight off the urge to collapse because of the wind. He had already done so a few times before hand.
(I don't know why I'm even doing this.)
Another gust of freezing wind came without warning. This time, he completely lost his balance and fell face first into the snow. He got up, brushed the beard of snow from off his face and continued to walk, cursing under his breath.
He could see the village now. Or rather, he could see what wasn't buried under five feet of snow. Just a few more minutes of freezing cold, then he would be in the nice warm house of Kaede. Or so he thought.
Refreshed, wide-awake and ready to head back to La Saia's kingdom, OmegaNihon walked down the cave towards the entrance. However, little did they know, they were going to have a nasty welcome waiting for them. Fuyuka and his wolf tribe, the Kooriookami, were waiting at the mouth of the cave, planning to attack.
Icehaken's nose began to twitch. "I smell something familiar," he muttered. He turned back towards the rest of the pack. "Do you smell that?" he asked. Some of the other wolves began to growl quietly.
"I do," the voice spoke from the pack, "But I don't believe it." it trailed off. The tribe continued to walk into the cave.
Meanwhile, back inside the cave, Nobunaga noticed that Kouga was behaving a little strangely. "What's wrong?" he whispered.
Kouga looked up at him. "Nothing," he muttered. "I guess I'm just homesick."
InuYasha stopped walking, and studied the area in front of him.
"Why have you stopped?" Kagome asked.
"I smell something up ahead," InuYasha answered. "Wolves?" He turned to Kouga, who just shrugged. They continued to walk to the entrance of the cave, ignoring the smell. That is, of course, until they actually saw the wolves for themselves.
Icehaken and the Kooriookami tribe stood right before InuYasha and his friends. "So this is who we've been sent to kill?" Icehaken snarled. "Fine by me." He leapt up and InuYasha, and so did about half of the other ice wolves.
"They must've been sent here by KooriKisaki," Kagome exclaimed.
"What are you," InuYasha snapped, blocking Icehaken's attack, "the narrator?"
Sesshoumaru, Kouga and Nobunaga all drew their swords and prepared to fight the onslaught of ice wolves that were heading toward them. Kagome readied her bow, Sango grabbed her boomerang, and Miroku grasped his staff. A war broke out. A wolf leapt at Sango, but she just knocked it away with her 'rang.
"This isn't so hard," Sango smirked. Suddenly, a wolf jumped up from behind her, bringing her to her knees. Miroku batted it away with his staff.
"You're right," he smirked, almost mocking Sango.
Five wolves cornered Sesshoumaru and Juuroumaru to the wall. The wolves were curious as to why their captives were smiling. They soon found out. Sesshoumaru unleashed a wave of energy from his sword, sending all five wolves flying to the wall. Juuroumaru dashed forwards to finish the job.
The second half of the ice wolves, the half that wasn't fighting, continued to watch.
(Impressive. They are proving to be worthy adversaries after all.)
Icehaken leapt at InuYasha one more time and managed to bite his arm. InuYasha just flung him away as if he was a tiny bug. "You don't think you can beat us, do you?" InuYasha chuckled.
Icehaken snarled. "No," he said, "I KNOW I can beat you!" He leapt up one final time and managed to knock the Tetsusaiga out of InuYasha's hand. His victim fell to the ground, stunned.
"InuYasha!" Kagome called with concern, "Are you okay?" She ran to him, but was jumped by two other wolves. She was down.
Nobunaga and Shippou were trying their hardest to beat the group of wolves that were attacking them, but it was useless. They were both brought down. Eventually, the Kooriookami tribe had beaten everyone. Only Kouga was left standing. Icehaken leapt at him, but was stopped by the voice from the pack. Kouga looked at the group of wolves that didn't fight. He could see a figure in the mist. It stepped forward, and revealed itself to OmegaNihon.
Fuyuka, the Kooriookami tribe's leader, looked almost exactly like Kouga, except for a few details. The fur on his boots, as well as the fur on his shoulder pads, was an icy blue color. His chest plate and his loincloth were a darker blue color. His hair was turquoise and up in a ponytail, his headband was gold and his eyes were a bright green. He also had more mass, muscle wise.
Kouga gasped in surprise when he saw this wolf demon. "No," he muttered under his breath, shaking his head. "No, it can't be."
"You sound surprised to see me," Fuyuka smiled. "When I was told that there was a group of people in one of my caves, I pictured a bunch of stupid mercenaries. I guess I'm not that far off."
"You still have that same annoying wit," Kouga smirked. "Good to know you haven't changed much."
"Oh I've changed," Fuyuka sneered. "For the better, of course."
As the two wolf demons were talking amongst themselves, InuYasha regained consciousness. He noticed that the Tetsusaiga's handle was in reach, so he made a grab for it. One of the Kooriookami noticed this and tried to prevent him from doing so, but InuYasha had already gotten to his feet. The wolf stayed at its spot.
"Would someone mind tellin' me what's goin' on?" InuYasha exclaimed. "Like, for starters, who the hell are you?"
"We have been sent here," Fuyuka answered, "by KooriKisaki. She's asked us to destroy you, and that's what we're gonna do."
InuYasha smiled. "Do you believe this fool?" he said to Kouga.
"I am far from an fool, my friend," Fuyuka snickered. "I have been asked to do something, and now it's time to do it." And with that, the ice wolves leapt to attack their enemies. InuYasha had to act fast, and only one thought came to him.
(The Scar of the Wind.)
With one swoop of the Tetsusaiga, the entire Kooriookami tribe was sent flying. Many of them perished in the blast. Fuyuka put up his left arm to block the attack, but underestimated its power. His arm was ripped to shreds like a damp piece of paper. Icehaken and the remaining wolves carried their fallen leader and fled the cave.
"That wasn't too hard," InuYasha smirked. "C'mon, let's help the others." InuYasha went over to Kagome. He put his arm on her shoulder and she began to stir. She muttered, "I'm okay," as she got to her feet. They continued helping the others, until everyone was on their feet. They were all more or less okay, save for the average bruise or two. Kouga, on the other hand, wasn't all that okay.
"Do you know him or something?" InuYasha asked. Kouga turned to him and whispered something that sounded like "yes," but he would say nothing more.
Meanwhile, La Saia was waiting patiently in her room for news of InuYasha and his friends. Nothing yet. But she knew they were okay. They had proven to her that they could take care of themselves. This was still a concern to her though.
Her thoughts were interrupted by her advisor. He knocked at her door and she allowed him to come in. "My Lady," he said, "I do not think that it is safe for you to stay here, what with all the ice demons around."
La Saia nodded. "What do you suggest?"
"I think that we should move you to a more secure location."
La Saia smiled. "All the arrangements have already been made, your highness," the advisor said. La Saia got up and walked with him to a carriage outside the house she was staying at. Three guards were already at their posts and were waiting to take her to a safer location. As she climbed aboard the carriage, the guards thought it odd that she wasn't wearing anything on her feet.
