Twilight Nikko-Yasha: Chapter 7

Shattered Happiness

"NO! Miroku!" Nikko-Yasha shouted as she ran over and knelt next to the fallen monk.

"Please no!" she whispered as she grabbed Miroku's shoulder and slowly turned him over.

Miroku's robes were slowly being soaked with blood as the injured monk cringed in pain. Nikko-Yasha started crying when she saw all the blood on his robes.

Miroku slowly opened his eyes at the sound of her voice. He looked up at her worried face as she said something but he couldn't hear her. He could see her face as she tried to talk to him, he could feel her hands as she tried to save him. But it was all clouded out by the intense pain coursing through his abdomen. Slowly the world began to grow darker as the pain intensified. Miroku closed his eyes and was soon unconscious.

"Miroku...NO! Miroku! Please no!" Nikko-Yasha cried as his body fell limp in her arms.

"And now you know how I felt when you took my wife from me." Kamon said in an unemotional tone as he circled around behind Nikko-Yasha.

Nikko-Yasha did not reply. She slowly caressed Miroku's face with her trembling hand as she whispered his name. She began to shake as the anger began to build up. 'How could he!' she thought as she clenched her fist 'Miroku did nothing to deserve this!' Nikko-Yasha gently placed Miroku's body carefully on the ground, and she stood up with her back to Kamon. Then she began to change.

Her hair began to transform from black to solid light purple. Her claws grew longer as dark purple stripes appeared on the sides of her face and across her feet and hands, and her eyes turned a bright red. Kamon looked at his changing opponent with little interest, unmindful of the new danger.

Furious, Nikko-Yasha screamed as she charged at Kamon, who easily dodged her attack and counterattacked with his sword. The long blade pierced her shoulder and she screamed in agony as she fell to the ground. Nikko-Yasha quickly used her feet to throw Kamon off of her and scrambled towards her staff. Removing the blade in her shoulder Nikko-Yasha pulled out her own two katanas and turned to attack Kamon. He easily dodged and slammed his elbow into Nikko-Yasha's back. With a yell she rolled away and painfully stood up to face her enemy. This gave Kamon enough time to grab his own sword.

"Aww! What's wrong? Did I hurt you?" Kamon taunted in a mocking tone as Nikko-Yasha glared at him, hatred glowing in her golden eyes.

"Just fight!" she screamed back as she fiercely pounced at him with her katanas.

Their blades collided in a flash of sparks. They each pushed with all their might in an intense stalemate of strength. Kamon's blade suddenly slipped and Nikko-Yasha sliced his shoulder wide open before he could recover his balance. They were soon in a swordfight so intense that the slightest blunder or misjudgment could determine a victor…and a victim. Nikko-Yasha finally broke free from Kamon's sharp blade, and leapt to the side as he attempted to thrust his sword into her heart.

Nikko-Yasha turns around and with an evil laugh pounces. Kamon brings up his sword just in time to parry the attack. Their swords and anger repeatedly clash as each tries to annihilate the other. Without warning, Kamon's sword shatters leaving him defenseless against Nikko-Yasha's razor sharp blades. Nikko-Yasha took this moment as an opportunity and with a slight sneer thrusts both of her blades deep into his chest. Kamon gasped as he looked down at the two bloody razor sharp blades sticking out of his torso. With a satisfied growl Nikko-Yasha rips her katanas from Kamon's chest and he falls to his hands and knees. But instead of crying out in pain, he begins to laugh. He looks up at the neko youkai with a mischievous smile on his face. Then, with little effort, he stands up and faces his stunned adversary.

"How is that possible?" Nikko-Yasha asks, stunned at his inability to feel pain.

"Its quite simple really." Kamon replies, pleased to see his enemy so confused. "You see. I failed to mention one thing. When you where cursed and transformed into a hanyou, the old miko couldn't just make the other part of you disappear, she had to put half of your demon blood somewhere, and I just happened to be nearby. So, like you, I too became a hanyou" Kamon explained as a black tail appeared behind him. He then smoothed down his hair to reveal two pointy black ears.

"So that's why you where able to survive the last time we met!" Nikko-Yasha realized as she eyed his new features.

"Precisely! And that is why I'm going to win!" Kamon shouted as he charged at Nikko-Yasha.

Nikko-Yasha threw her swords to the side as she countered his attack with her own claws. They collided in the middle and began to claw and scratch each other like, well, a couple of cats. After having to dodge a few well-aimed swipes, Nikko-Yasha jumps away and returns with a new strategy.

"FANGS OF ACIDEARTH!!!!"

She shouts as she lands on Kamon's back and bites him hard on the shoulder. Acid from her fangs instantly begins to eat away at his flesh. With a cry of surprise and then pain Kamon throws her off of him and charges with his own attack.

"CLAWS OF TSUNAMI!!!!"

He roars as his hands turn into lethal blades of ice, aimed for Nikko-Yasha's throat. She counterattacks his claws just in time to save her own neck. Then, with all her might, Nikko-Yasha throws him into the nearby stream, stunning him long enough for her to bring in her finishing move.

"TWILIGHT LIBRA SPIRIT IMPRISONER!!!!!"

She then turns into a blazing ball of energy. With an earsplitting scream Kamon disappears beneath the lethal attack, the only proof of his existence lies in the, now blood red, waters of the swiftly moving stream. Nikko-Yasha lands on the other side, out of breath and back to her old hanyou self again. She slowly turns around and walks towards Miroku's motionless body. She stops next to him and kneels down, her face inches away from his.

"I'm so sorry I got you into this mess," Nikko-Yasha said softly and with that she picks up the monk and runs into the forest following the stream in hopes of finding a village in time.

Nikko-Yasha: grabs Miroku plushie Yay! Nikko won! People say I'm good at the battle scenes…but I'm warning you now! I suck at the whole "characters falling in love" stuff so the next few chappies may be a little crappy…if anyone has any good ideas as to where this story could go…PLEASE tell me! 'cause my brain is fried and I can't think of anything!

Gidgit: the only reason why your brain is fried is because you've had your eyeballs glued to your screen since 2 this morning! Now please play with me! Before your brain goes into "vegetable" mode! Paws at chair please? (Quick! send reviews! I wanna play!)

Nikko-Yasha: pats Gidgit on the head one final note…in case anyone was wondering…Kamon Lestra is actually my bro's nickname…don't ask why…I thought it was cool for an enemy so that's why I used the name…

Gidgit: What?! That's it?! A pat on the head then your back to vegetating yourself?!?! No fair!!
