Chapter 3, Deadly battle
Ayame couldn't do anything. She was almost crying while watching the battle, which seemed hopeless. They had been fighting a while already.
Kouga was injured, badly. He had many wounds and bruises and his lip was bleeding. The demon had some wounds but it was bigger and stronger than Kouga.
"Stop that!" Ayame yelled. "Please, just stop!"
"I won't stop!" Kouga growled. "Not before I've killed that demon!"
"You'll die!" Ayame yelled, when Kouga attacked again.
He managed to sidestep the demon's blow and hit him onto his face. The demon growled angrily and hit towards Kouga, but he step aside just in time. Then the demon remembered Ayame and watched her with evil smirk on his face.
Ayame noticed too that the demon was staring at her. She realized too late what the demon was thinking and screamed when the demon raised his hand to hit her.
"Don't hurt her!" Kouga yelled and ran to the front of Ayame.
"Kouga don't!" She yelled, but too late.
The demon hit, just at the same time when Kouga jumped towards him. Kouga managed to cut the demon's right hand into two pieces, but the demon's claw hit his left side. Ayame gasped in shock, when the pieces of the demon's hand fell in front of her.
The demon growled in pain, holding his wounded hand. Kouga was on his knees, his hand covering his wound. He stood up and managed to step aside just when the demon turned to hit him again.
Now tears started to run down Ayame's cheeks. She was totally helpless when Kouga was fighting into his death. She knew he wouldn't give up, not before one of them would be dead.
The fight had gotten more serious. Kouga was tired and wounded and the demon was angry and full of rage. Kouga didn't have much time to jink the blows. Just a while of fighting, then they both attacked towards each other.
Kouga managed to avoid demon's hit and jumped onto its arm. Then he jumped onto the demon's shoulder and hit its head with all his strength. The demon yelled in pain and started to fall down, but Ayame noticed something more.
"Kouga! Watch out!" She yelled.
Kouga looked behind him, but too late. The jibe on the demon's tail hit Kouga onto his back. He yelled in pain and the demon swung its tail, making Kouga crush against the rocks.
"No!" Ayame cried.
The demon fell down dead, making the rocks and dust raise around it. Kouga fell onto the ground, staying here unmoved. The ropes around Ayame's wrists disappeared and she jumped down.
"Kouga! Are you okay?" She yelled and ran to him.
In her relief he was still alive. He had bad wounds and there was blood everywhere in his body. He was breathing in fists and starts and seemed to be unconscious.
"Oh no… Kouga please, say something to me!" She yelled, trying to wake him up. "Kouga!"
He moaned in pain and carefully opened his eyes. He smiled when he saw that she was alright, and she felt tears in her eyes.
"You saved me Kouga… I thought you'd never…" Ayame spluttered, tears falling from her eyes.
"Don't cry." He said faintly. "Find Ginta and Hakkaku… tell them to join into your tribe."
"No way!" She cried out. "I'm not leaving you here after what you did for me!"
"Ayame… I won't survive. There was poison in that jibe." He said.
"No…"
"Just go. Go before some other demon appears…"
Kouga couched blood, and Ayame made her decision. She helped him up, giving him backup, and took few steps forwards. It was difficult for him to walk, so their walking was slow.
"Why are you doing this?" He asked faintly.
"You saved me back there. Now I want to save you." She answered, continuing to walk towards sunset.
Poor Kouga… review I'll be updating soon!
