Sangokirara5: Haha…this fic is weird; I know…anyway, let's begin once more!

Ch2 Ambushed

Ryu woke up, finding herself in heaps of wolves. She also found out that she was in deeper part of the cave, giving her nice cool feeling and warmth at the same time. She then noticed how early she had woken up. She didn't even see the sun. As she stood up, she saw Kouga on the ground, sleeping. She then noticed that he had given his spot to her. The place that was warm and cozy. He gave her that spot. She smiled.

"Thank you." She whispered, and she walked outside. When she got out, she spread her wings as wide as she can, also, her tail swishing back and forth. She then stretched her arms and legs. "Feels sooo nice!" she said merrily. She then noticed Hakkaku and Ginta already asleep, even if they were supposed to be on guard. She giggled.

"I guess nothing can happen, as long as the demons see that this den is Kouga's." she said. She then walked down to the stream she bathed in. As she got near it, she twitched her long ears. "I hear something…coming near…" she said to herself. Before she had time to react, she felt an arm go around her waist, pulling her up. She screamed, but stopped, to see that it was Kouga.

"Shh." He said, as he ran, his pack following him.

"What's going on?" she asked, completely in shock still. "Where are we going?" she asked.

"There are demons around; I think they are looking for me. We are going somewhere they can not reach us." He said.

Ryu then noticed the power of his legs. "Shikon Shard?" she asked. Kouga nodded. "Well…oops, Kouga, I must be heavy, I can fly!" she said, as she pushed herself off of him, and spread her wings. She then floated up.

Kouga smiled. "Good. Now, can you see them? Are they well behind, or are they near?" he asked.

She nodded, and flew higher. Ryu looked down to see no one behind them. "I don't see anyone…" she kept looking at the ground. She then heard noise above. She switched her gaze from the ground to the air, seeing gigantic birds following them. "Never mind! Birds incoming!" she yelled.

"What are you standing there for? Come down here!" Kouga yelled to her, as he saw her just floating there.

"No…" she said. "This is a wonderful time to show you than I am powerful." She said smiling. "I can handle this."

"Well fight down here! If you get caught up there, I won't be able to help you because you are too high up!" he yelled. Hakkaku, Ginta, and the wolves caught up to them then.

"Where's Ryu?" Hakkaku asked panting.

"Up there." Kouga said. "Come here now!" he yelled again.

She waved it off. She stared at the birds. They were gigantic, sizes of cars! They screamed as they saw their prey. She ten brought her right arm up, and pointed at them, with her index and middle finger. She then drew them back, bringing her other hand up, as if pulling strings on a bow.

"Katon! Honouno Ya!" she yelled, and all of a sudden, arrows of fire appeared around her, about 20, all pointing at the enemy. She then let her right hand go, and the arrows shot.

The arrows caught the enemy, burning them. Ryu was already in for another attack. Her arms were to her sides, bent, fist closed. She then yelled "Kezeton! Kaze no Tori!" with that, she pushed her fist up, and wind, shaped like a gigantic bird flew past, and hit the enemy, giving them cuts and wounds.

Everyone on the ground watched with jaw wide open. "Wow…" Ginta said his jaw wide, eyes wide.

"That…is…awesome!" Hakkaku said, also in the same state.

Kouga on the other hand had his eyes wide, just stared at her.

"Finale!" Ryu yelled, as she brought her right arm up, her palm open. "Mizuton! Mizu no Ryu!" She dropped her arm, and a huge water dragon formed, and ran into the enemy. The enemy shrieked, and dropped to the ground.

Ryu looked around to see if there were any other demons near by. She then flew down, making sure that they were safe. When she landed, Hakkaku and Ginta hammered her with questions.

"Where did you learn THAT?" Ginta asked, excited.

Hakkaku also wanted to know stuff. "There was no water, and how did you get all that water up there? And the fire!"

Ryu brought her hands up, in defensive mode. "Wait, one at a time!" she said, sweat dropping. "Okay, I learned it because I am a dragon clan, duh? And…I can summon any type of natural source to me." She said. "Well…actually no. Fire, from heat, water from humid air, and wind, from air." She smiled at them.

Kouga stared at her. "I thought dragon clans are born with only one element?" he asked. "At least, that's what I heard…" he said.

She turned to him, and looked down. "Erm…Well…"

Kouga got the idea of that she didn't want to talk about it, so he waved it off. "Tell me when you feel like it." He said. Also, we are nearing a demon village. Let's get going." He said, with that, he lead the pack.

When they reached the village, they saw no one. "Hmm…I wonder where they all went?" Ginta whispered to Hakkaku.

He shrugged. "No idea…but, it's too quiet…"

Ryu looked around. 'This place reminds me of…' she trailed off, for a net was thrown, and she was caught inside it. She screamed. "Kyaa!"

Kouga turned around, to see cat demons putting the net over her, and trying to pin her down. "Let her go!" he yelled, and tried to give a kick, but more cat demons got in the way.

"I will pay you for her." A cat demon said. "We will give anything, for her." It said.

"What are you talking about?" Ginta asked. "She is not for sale!"

"What do you mean? You bought her, didn't you?" another asked.

Ryu's face dropped. She suddenly got up. "No, let me go!" she started to scream. "Let me go! You stupid cat demons!" she tried to use her powers, but cat demons tied her arms and legs before she could do anything.

"Let her go…" Kouga said calmly. "And no one gets hurt."

"No. How about this? I'll give you money, and you leave her with us?"

Kouga bared his fangs. "You are getting on my nerves." He said.

"She is the last of the dragon clan, don't you get it?" a demon said to him. "Better, she's the one with ALL the elements, and they are only born once every million years." It said. "We had captured her before, I meant, bought her, but she got away."

"You caught her?" Kouga asked. "You BOUGHT her?" Before he could say more, he heard a ripping noise, and turned to its owner. Ryu was standing now, the net and the ropes off. She had tears in her eyes.

"Never…never will you get me again!" she yelled, and she turned, spread her wings, and flew off.

"Get her!" one demon yelled, but before they could even walk one step, Kouga and his pack brought them all down.

"Leave her ALONE! If we catch you trying to buy people off, then that's when your life ends!" Kouga yelled. With that, he turned and followed to where he still smelled Ryu.

He found her all right, for he used his famous legs, and ran after her, leaving the pack behind. He found her next to a stream, hugging her knees.

"Ryu?" he asked.

She turned around, and quickly turned around again. He then saw her rub her eyes. She had been crying. "Ha…this is weird, right? I just showed you how great I am, and here I am, crying…" she said, sobbing.

Kouga walked towards her, and sat next to her. "You know what? Its all right, we all have some kind of fear in us." He said. "I'm surprised you didn't tell s about it."

"I…I thought you might try to sell me." She sobbed.

"Why would I?" he asked.

"Because…you would get lots of money if you sell me to someone." She said, now burying her head in her arms and knees again.

"Don't worry, I will NEVER sell you. I hate how people try to sell things that have feelings. Like animals, too." He said, now standing up. "Just like wolves." He said, and offered her a hand. "We wolves are a family. We stand by each other.

She looked up, and took his hand. He pulled her up. "Thanks…" she murmured, and rubbed her eyes.

Kouga looked over to where he smelled his pack. "Hurry up!" he yelled.

They heard the wolves howling. "We are coming!" they heard Ginta yelling. "Leave us behind, why don't you!" Hakkaku yelled.

Kouga and Ryu looked at each other, and started to laugh.
