Chapter 1: Part 1
Demon Princess
I know it has been such a long time since I updated! I'm so sorry! Well, here is the next update to Elemental Power! Take note that this has literally nothing to do with the prologue. The prologue was just to let you have an idea about the evil creatures, some background about Sesshomaru, and how the Elemental Scriptures shattered. Yup! That's it. So this Chapter starts a whole different scene that takes place a month after the Scriptures are shattered! Also, this Akira is different from the Akira that just died. I like using the name Akira! Okay! Enjoy!

The air was raw with the scent of burning flesh. Akira dashed through the flaming walls of fire with Miroku, Reaver, and Kitsu following close behind. Finally they reached the little spring with pure clean water. Panting, Akira came to a halt. "Let's take a break," he breathed as he tried to catch his breath. "We'll go on in a second." His siblings nodded. After a short while Akira stood and scanned the premises. Then he silently took off through the dark forest.
"Where are we going?" Reaver panted. Miroku glanced at her but said nothing. Only Akira knew where they were headed. Akira had told them that they had to journey to a faraway plain where there was supposedly a battle going on. They had already traveled for a week nonstop and Reaver was just at the peak of fainting. So far on their journey, they had bumped into many small skirmishes which they thankfully avoided. However, it was said that there were many demons prowling about at night in the forest.
A long steady growl echoed through the trees. Akira halted and stared at where the growl had come from. Another growl shook the trees. "It sounds like a demon," whimpered Kitsu. Akira looked at Kitsu with eyes that said, "Be quiet or I'll kill you." Akira quietly stalked towards the growling sound with his small steal knife. Miroku also unsheathed his dagger. Suddenly, a large murky orange tiger demon landed in front of Akira. It growled so ferociously a normal person would probably faint from hearing, but Akira stood his ground without showing a hint of fear.
"Akira," the demon growls while smirking, "The gods have alerted me of your arrival. It is my good will that you have walked onto my land. For now I will devour you." Without hesitation the tiger demon swiped his paw at Akira. Akira dodged it a second before the giant paw struck the land. But the tiger was quick and in the next second, it leaped over Akira and menacingly glared at Reaver. Reaver was caught by surprise as the demon roared and swung his paw at Reaver with his claws unsheathed. Blood spilled onto the muddy ground.
Akira gripped his bloodstained arm as blood ran down his fingers. Reaver stood in shock behind Akira. When the tiger had attempted to kill Reaver, Akira had dashed in front of Reaver and acted as her shield. "Akira," Reaver stuttered. Akira smirked.
"I guess you were pretty lucky," Akira said, turning to Reaver. A deep growl resonated in the tiger demon's throat. He opened his mouth wide and prepared to strike the final blow on Akira.
"You'll never win," he growled, "Never." Akira flinched in pain, a hint of fear flashed in his eyes.
A sudden blast of thunder blue light sparkled as it hit the tiger demon with a huge blast. Akira glanced up. A beautiful demon princess lithely landed in front of Akira, her shining silver hair glimmered with the rising sun.
