Night had come as it always does. All the creatures of the forest were sound asleep. Swiftly and silently a girl ran through the thicket. She dodged every tree and low branch that came in her way; such as she had learned to do. Suddenly she came to halt at a base of a tree. "Hmm...the smells of human, blood, and demon" she said softly to herself. With one nimble leap she landed neatly on the branch. 'Mm...the scent of a burning village and demons in the air...' she thought to herself. "So what do we have here?" The Hakisuma woke up startled. "Heh...a girl?"
Hakisuma watched the other girl's face or more like the top of her head, "W-what d-do you want?! Y-you DEMON!"
The other girl looked confused, "Pardon me, but demon who?"
"YOU!" she replied pointing a shaking finger at the 'demon' girl's ears and tail. "You got a wolf's tail and ears!" she reached for her Kanata. "Lemme guess a wolf demon?"
The wolf girl glared at her. "Don't you EVER compare me to those bunch of mongrels!! They don't what it means to be wolf!!" Her growl grew to a snarl, "The name's HIKARI not DEMON!! And I ain't no demon I'm a WEREWOLF!! You're the one who is part demon I can smell it!!!" Hikari pulled back her ears and revealed her long canine teeth. Her gold purple were fixed on Hakisuma.
Hakisuma sweat-dropped, "Uh, gomen...?" she was taken aback by Hikari's sudden mood swing. "I didn't mean to judge you so quickly. I seriously thought you wanted to kill Kii and me..."
"Kii, eh? She's a fire cat demon?" Hikari smirked as Hakisuma pulled the little creature out of her pocket and handed it to her. Kii woke up surprised to be staring into another person's eyes other then her owner.
"MREWW!!" Kii yowled out and chomped down on Hikari gauntlet covered hand. Hikari smirked and Kii, despite her small injuries began to play with Hikari. Hikari watched Hakisuma out of the corner of her eye.
Hakisuma had long black hair tied up high in the back with a dark blue piece of cloth. She wore a short kimono. The patterns on her kimono were arrowheads pointing north and south, with a dot in the middle. The symbols were dark blue and covered her entire pale blue kimono. The cuffs of the neck, sleeves, and edge of skirt had a dark blue material that matched her hairpiece. She wore long, thin, pale blue stockings that were up to the middle of her thigh. She wore no shoes. Hakisuma's eyes were silver, but Hikari sensed that when Hakisuma's blood turned demon, her eye color would change. She shifted her eyes back to concentrate on playing with Kii.
As the two played Hakisuma took it as an advantage to study Hikari some more. Hikari was shorter then her. She wore blue loose fitting pants and a purple kimono with long sleeves which are gold at the tips. Two gauntlets on each hand each hand. Right having a sun. Left having a moon. Hikari had long dark brown hair tied back in a ponytail. She also had two long white bangs that stuck up. Hakisuma sighed; all in all Hikari looked like tomboy.
Hikari has trying grab Kii when suddenly she stopped. She took a whiff of the air, "Something is headed this way. And it's a demon, a big one." She drew out a black sword handle. Hakisuma blinked at the handle. What good would a handle be for? "Come forward divine blade!"
Light burst forward from the end of the handle as the light died out a HUGE blade was in its place.
Hakisuma eyes widen (O-O), "OhMyGod! That's gargantuan!!! "She watched as Hikari slung the massive blade on her back. Hakisuma drew her Kanata. "Might as well help." Hakisuma said. She looked over to Hikari. "Huh...?" Hikari was beginning to transform. Her back became ridged, ears and tail grew longer, and she grew a snout. Silvery white fur spread over her clothes and body. "Her werewolf form..." she mused.
Kii sauntered over to Hakisuma, "Meerooww..?" she curiously looked over at the fully transformed Hikari.
Hakisuma eyes wandered down to Kii, "No Kii, stay back I don't think you should fight ye-"She was interrupted by a loud bellow. "T-that sounds familiar...It's that demon that killed my parents!" Hakisuma gasped as the trees parted and from the shadows caused by the moonlight came a hideous foul smelling demon.
Four long snakes as hair and five blood red bulging eyes with a circle of fangs that served as its mouth was the appearance of the hideous demon. "Is that youuu...little girl demonnn....? I have been looking forrr HERE!!"
Hikari sneered at the demon, "So big old spider legs here ate your parents?" Hakisuma nodded. "Ha! Then this is gonna be SO much fun!" Hikari using her powerful wolf legs leap up off the branch. She came down with her large blade three of snake heads were chopped off. Thick black blood gushed out. "Wah!?" a large glob of demon blood hit Hikari in the face. "Ow! WHAT IN THE NINE HELLS IS THIS? DAMN STUFF BURNS!!" Hikari shook off some of the blood.
Hakisuma leaped up, "Hey demon look over here!" The demon turned its head in her direction. "HAA!!" Hakisuma released the Kanata from her hand like a throwing knife.
It embedded itself into the demons fifth eye, "WRRRRRRAAAAGH!!! You foolish insolent mix-breed!! I will eat you alive!!!"
Hakisuma backed away, "Just try, ugly!!"
"NO WAY! YOU'RE ALL MINE!!" Hikari cut off two of its arms moving quickly as to not get hit with the blood. "Betcha felt that huh?" Hikari smile faded, 'What the hell?' the demon grew back FOUR arms. 'Now that ain't supposed to happen...'
"You honestly think you can defeat me? I posses two shards of the sacred Shikon jewel....." the fiend grinned. "DIE!!!"
WHAT!?! THE SACRED JEWEL OF FOUR SOULS!?!? Hakisuma and Hikari shouted in unison. They stared in disbelief.
Hikari howled angrily, "Shut up and die YOURSELF!!! She had lost her temper. Her eyes burned with fiery hatred. She began slashing wildly, "DIE DIE DIE DIEE!!!!"
Hakisuma sighed, "How are we going to get anywhere this way? Hikari find the Shikon jewel!!!"
"HAI!!" Hikari slashed at the forehead. "They have got to be here!!!" Bright light shot out of its forehead.
"NO! I failed Naraku!!!" with that the demon exploded. One shard of the jewel landed in Hakisuma's hand and the other in Hikari.
"That's nice...," Hakisuma remarked as she wiped the blood off it on her short kimono. She glanced over to Hikari. She had changed back to her human form." Umm...Hikari watch where your go-::BLAM!::-ing..."
"Ahh! Damn it I can't see from my friggin left eye!!" Hikari shook her head wildly. She gave up and leaped into the tree. "Guess I'll stay with you.." She curled up on the thick branch.
"Hey!" Hakisuma frowned, 'Great, now I am stuck with this mangy mutt. Wonder what else is going to happen to me.." She jumped up into the tree as well and settled down. "Might as well get some rest. It's been a long night."
Else where in the forest Inu-yasha and the others were walking. Inu-yasha stopped, "Blood..."
"Huh? It must be from a demon! And I sense two Shikon jewel shards!" Kagome gasped.
"Really...? Well? What are we waiting for? Let's go!" Inu-yasha and the others rushed to the area of the forest where Hakisuma and Hikari rested.
