Familiar Faces and Newer Enemies
Inuyasha stood at one end of the clearing while Tosuko stood at the other end. They gazed at each other and bowed respectfully, not taking their eyes off each other. But it seemed that Tosuko wasn't the first to make a move. It was his father who lunged at him blindly like Koga did so many times. But Tosuko, being the smart Hanyou that he was, waited until Inuyasha was close. At the perfect time, he stepped off at an angle and brought a roundhouse kick up into Inuyasha's gut. Inuyasha stopped in mid lunge, stunned by the kick and was driven back by a punch to the face. His son was much more powerful than he had anticipated.
A small stream of blood leaked down the corner of Inuyashas mouth, down his chin. It was degrading doing what he was doing, but it was tactical. And cheap. Tosuko walked over to his supposed unconcious father. "Looks like I--" he started but was thrown back by a foot to his chest. He was knocked back, winded, but still able to fight. His father shot up and beared his claws, "IRON REAVER SOUL STEALER!" But as he did this Tosuko countered by jumping above him in the air and landing behind him with the same attack down his fathers back, cutting through the robe and his fathers skin, causing Inuyasha to collapse. Knowing his father was going to be down for the count because he had hit a nerve, he stood up straight and walked over to his dad to help him up.
As Tosuko reached down to help up his father a hissing sound pierce the air and a sharp pain emitted from his right shoulder. "Get away from him" warned a voice from back behind the shelter of the trees. Tosuko reached for the burning arrow in his shoulder and grasped it tightly, tugging hard so that it was ripped from his shoulder. There was another hissing sound but this time he had time to turn around and face his opponent. Everything seemed to be moving in slow motion, as he watched the arrows speedily make their way towards him. The tips gleemed just before they hit their target, all three making their way into his burning chest. His body fell back next to his fathers, all thought except for how he would never see his mother came to him. A terrible feeling. The owner of the voice moved into the clearing and above Tosuko. She was wearing wearing an all black fabric on his body, no skin showing except for a bit of cleavage. Her eyes shown bright yellow though. The woman kneeled down next to him and brushed a lock of hair to the side planting a small kiss on his forehead.Tosuko gazed up at her familiar face and let the words drift from his mind, "wh-who ar-re... you?" Her voice was sweet and gentle just like her touch but nothing could change the cold meaning of her words.
"I'm a Gaurdian"
