Yes its been a while. But since I've received no comments on my last post, it's obvious no one is really reading this. So it doesn't really matter when I get these chapters out, does it? Lack of motivation.
Kara Metallium !
Chapter 4 - Fight! Fight! Fight!
How do I get myself into these things?
Cerulean eyes stared into crimson. The blue orbs glittered with amusement and anticipation. The red gaze narrwed in response.
"Wait." Kara held up a finger. "I need to change." The wolf prince gaped at her.
"Here?" he demanded, blushing like a girl.
"Yes," she answered primly. Kara put her hands together and concentrated. It had become readily apparent to her that the attire she wore was not suitable for this world. Now that her body no longer resided on the astral plane, physical attacks would actually hurt. Her current clothing was not the most efficient in free movement and hand-to-hand combat. Kara concentrated on her appearance, and a dark crackling aura surrounded her for but a moment. Then her clothing shifted and changed form. Her white cloak and gloves disappeared. The brown leather boots that had once encased her feet transformed into footwear akin to Sesshoumaru's own, only striped. Gauntlets appeared wrist to elbow, and her hair appeared to be up in a ponytail, with a lock remaining on each side of her face.
A smirk graced her lips and complimented her narrowed red gaze. Kouga's response was to slip on a serious game face and dig his heels into the dirt. Obviously ready to spring at her. A sudden growl from Sesshoumaru's direction startled her. She looked toward the inu-youkai.
"Remember what I said wolf, no teleportation."
Kara groaned inwardly. To protest or not to protest- She heard the sudden compaction of ground under pressure. She swung her head around, only to duck just in time as the wolf prince sailed over her head. Employing a ground roll, she came to rest farther away from the other wolf, facing him. He smirked at her. Suddenly he was gone and Kara was violently kicked across the clearing.
Pain blossomed down her spine as she came in contact with a rough tree trunk. She fell to the ground her right ankle twisting underneath her, causing her to cry out in pain. She laid there whimpering, not daring to touch her ankle, until the wolf prince suddenly hauled her up by her left arm. His left hand pulled up her chin to look at him.
Blue eyes looked into red. He smirked, but his eyes told another story. "Surrender," he spoke gruffly. Kara was sure she heard the slightest inflection of pleading in his tone. Her eyes flicked over his shoulder to stare at Sesshoumaru. His stone cold expression betraying nothing. Then his eyes hardened for a moment and then resumed their empty cold gaze. Disgust? Her eyes flicked back to Kouga's smiling ones. Surrender? Her eyes closed for a moment. When they opened again, they were like a raging fire. The wolf prince's hand on her upper arm tightened. "Surrender," he spoke again, eyes glittering with a sympathetic look in them.
"Never," she growled, for the prince's ears only. "Fireball." The burst of fire hit the wolf prince in the chest and he flew away from her and landed roughly on the ground. Her hands crackled with a black aura. The prince was back on his feet and charged her. "Flare arrow!" The prince dodged her attack and leaped at her. "Ray wing!" She kicked up off the ground and flew to the height of the treetops. Kouga growled and leaped at her. A futile attempt.
Kara laughed at the wolf prince.
"Come down!" he practically howled at her.
"Failure is not an option."
"That's not an answer. Come down here and fight!"
"In a word...no." He growled at her menacingly and jumped through the branches of the trees. Reaching the top of one nearby her, he launched himself in Kara's direction. At the last moment she dodged his attempted tackle. "Ray wing!" she shouted as he sailed by. The prince closed his eyes bracing for an impact with the hard earth. Instead he felt himself floating to the ground. He opened his eyes to see Kara standing across from him...smirking. He attempted to leap at her again. Kara laughed out loud when he fell back on his ass. He glared up at her and looked as if he realized something.
"Let me out!" he yelled at her, pounding on the wall of his prison. Which effectively was a large impervious bubble of sorts.
"Hmm..." Kara tapped her chin with her finger in a thoughtful gesture, "I think not."
"I will not be defeated by a woman! Especially one like you who disgraces the name wolf by serving that baka inu!" he shouted at her. His fury made his entire body tremble, attributing to the pent up energy his anger generated. However, he did not attack his prison again.
"Wolf scum." Kara turned around to face Sesshoumaru, who was rapidly approaching the ookami.
"Hey! What was that for? I just got us safe passage across these lands!" The inu-youkai looked at her coldly.
"I was not addressing you, baka ookami." He sneered and stepped past her. He stopped directly in front of the wolf prince's prison, and consequentlythe wolf prince. "You will lead us across your lands to ensure us safe passage."
"Like hell I will," the wolf prince snapped. "I promised you safe passage, nothing more."
"And if we are attacked?"
"You are more than capable of taking care of yourselves. Or are you one of those pansy youkai nobles that fights like a human woman?" Kouga sneered at Sesshoumaru, folding his arms smugly.
"Miko, release him." Kara snapped her fingers and the wolf prince's prison disappeared in an audible pop. A blur of movement resulted in the inu-youkai lord slamming the wolf prince against the nearest tree, with Sesshoumaru's clawed hand settled around his throat.
"Do not mock this Sesshoumaru, lord of the Western lands." Kouga's eyes widened as the demon lord's grip tightened.
"Ses-Sesshouma-maru?" the wolf prince choked out. Kara rolled her eyes at the pair. Baka, she thought. Kouga's eyes seemed to focus on Sesshoumaru's person for the first time. A look of true terror flashed in his eyes and then schooled it into a snarling response, "I will lead you across my lands, MY lord."
"Good," he said giving a final squeeze on the wolf prince's neck. "And you will not utter another word unless you want me to sink my poison claws into your tongue and let the acid eat through it." He let the wolf prince drop to the ground in a crumpled heap and stepped away with a distasteful look on his face. "Rin." The seemingly forgotten girl's head shot up to face in Sesshoumaru's direction. "Come here." She left her current occupation of prodding Jaken's still unconscious form with a stick and raced over to the demon lord.
"Hai, Sesshoumaru-sama?" she asked breathily eager.
"We are leaving; wake up Jaken."
"Hai!" she exclaimed and raced back to the unconscious demon toad.
Sesshoumaru kicked the wolf prince as he stalked by the figure. "Get up and lead us." The wolf prince groaned slightly as he stood, but it was overshadowed by an obvious screech from the toad youkai's direction. Kara visibly winced when the painfully sharp sound hit her ears. Again she wondered if the toad could get anymore shrieky.
The toad suddenly came racing over to Sesshoumaru with his staff in hand and Rin in tow. Jaken began to kowtow to the demon lord repeatedly. "Please forgive this lowly Jaken-"
Sesshoumaru pretended not to see his short-in-stature retainer as he stepped on Jaken and simultaneously shoved the wolf prince forward.
"Lead," he commanded. And the entourage of the great demon lord Sesshoumaru proceeded to leave the clearing with a newly added member.
