Chapter 3: First Fight
By Crimsondrop7
The two were on a head-on collision! The demon stopped a few feet before her, trying not to collide, but Rhena didn't stop. She just kept charging.
She threw a right hook at his chest then an uppercut with the left hand, but he avoided both. Not wasting anytime, she swung her right leg at the side of his head; it connected. The momentum from the kick made her turn in a full circle. She landed on the ground and jumped up again, kicking at him with her left leg. She turned around to face him, punching down with her right fist. He dodged the kicks and nearly avoided the punch at the end. He wasn't expecting that.
Ginta and Hakkaku were speechless. The two northern wolf demons' jaws were slack, drool starting to slowly slide down the side of their mouths. Koga's eyes were as big as saucer plates.
That girl can move...
"Amazing! I've never seen anything like it!" One of the wolf demons yelled. Agreements came from the pack as they continued to watch the fight intently.
She's stronger than I thought! If I don't do something quick a worthless, human female'll shame me! The demon jumped back to place a few feet between them.
In that little amount of time, Rhena had already started to sweat and tire.
Dammit! How can I beat him?
A movement from the demon jerked Rhena from her thought. He'd brought his hands to the front, a black glow covering his entire being and collecting in his palms.
"Now! It's time to finish you!" He yelled, releasing all of his power in one big blast. It was a ball of black swirling energy a course set straight for Rhena.
Shit! Too late! Must think of something! Like... a counter attack, or… a ball of energy like his. Yeah!
Rhena mimicked the demon's previous actions. She closed her eyes and focused on her core. Searching inside side herself, she found a warm glow. Following the glow, she found a white ball of energy. She squeezed the ball, letting all of its contents free. The energy washed over her like a warm breeze; it felt so good!
Every demon watched with wide eyes as they saw energy waves pour out of her like a fountain. Her whipped around her form in wind created by the power. A few wolf demons took a few steps back while others were cowering or whimpering.
Rhena's eyes pierced the demon that dare anger her. She pulled all her power into her hands, producing an enormous white ball crackling with energy.
Ever since Rhena was a little child, she believed in fairytales and legends. But most of all, she believed in powers and the fact that everyone had one. When she grew older, people told her they were nothing but lies made to keep children entertained. Rhena had run to her room, crying. She refused to stop believing, and hid her dreams and desires.
"Let's see who really ends this!" She yelled.
Rhena let loose her energy ball towards the black one. The force of release sent her skidding back a few feet, breathless. The two balls of energy flew at each other with great speed. As they collided, the white ball of energy shot through the black energy, dissipating it to nothing. She saw the male demon's eyes widen as he saw his ball of energy dissipate into nothing.
"DAMMIT!" He cursed. The demon tried to dodge her energy ball, but no such luck.
By now, all wolves' jaws were slack, including Koga, who tried to retain his appearance suitable at all times. He was surprised and simply shocked to no ends. The girl was full of surprises.
The ball of light finally struck its target. It slammed into his front side, sending him flying several yards. Rhena's eyes were wide.
"Did I just do that? COOL!" She struck a haughty pose as she kept ranting, "HA! WHO BEATCHA? I DID! WHO'S GOING TO KICK YOUR BUTT IF YOU TRY THAT AGAIN? I WILL!"
She was ecstatic. Rhena had never fought anyone before, even so much as a little scramble, but it rocked winning!
Koga's eye twitch in annoyance, listening to her ramble. The two northern demons gaped like a fish out of water. Ginta and Hakkaku turned to each other, question in their eyes.
Who is this female? She wasn't demon; that was for sure. And talk about mood swings! One minute, she's mad, the next, she's happy? They didn't know what to think!
"Oh yeah, you have something that's mine!" She talked to the charcoal-colored demon, frowning.
Rhena trudged over to the fried, unconscious demon. She turned him on his back and grabbed an item very dear to her. Her backpack! It'd fallen off when he'd punched her. He must of picked it up and kept it for himself.
She steamed. The nerve of him! Taking something that isn't his and trying to kill her!
Rhena glared hard at the unconscious demon, willing him to spontaneously combust. Seeing nothing happen, she sighed and walked over to the bank. Laying the backpack beside her, she dunked her hands, rings and watch in all.
Koga had seen enough. He was going to give her a piece of his mind. She dared to come into their territory and fight like they weren't there?
Koga was one who really didn't like to be ignored. At least she killed, or knocked out the demon that had so blantly crossed their territory without permission.
Koga jumped of the cliff he was sitting on earlier, his actions questioned by the duo.
"Koga, where are you going?" Ginta and Hakkaku asked at in unison.
"Checking for any damage!" he replied. Koga abruptly cut off any of conversation, running the short distance.
Humming a little tune, Rhena wondered how in the world she was to return home. She was out in some wilderness, probably millions and billions of miles away from home. Heck, she didn't even have a clue as to where she is!
She tensed and went rigid footsteps sounded behind her.
Did that demon wake up already?
Slowly, Rhena stood up and turned around to come face to face with the most brilliant eyes she'd ever seen. She blinked once. Twice. Thrice.
Where did that thought come from?
