Chapter 5. Crouching Wolf, Hidden Dog Demon

"Your not going anywhere." Sesshoumaru had stepped in her way. He wasn't done with her. HE had questions and wanted answers from her. "Who are you?"

Korui looked at him. "Why should I tell you, I don't even know you." She crossed her arms. She tried to keep her fear from showing through. Sesshoumaru could smell it on her. "Answer me."

"You know, my mommy told me not to talk to strangers…or be pushy it's rood. " She said in a child like voice. She saw he mistake when he grabbed her wrist. "Don't defy me." HE growled getting close to her face. Her eyes widened and she whimpered a bit as he gripped her wrist. "Please let go, your hurting me."

"Do you dare tell this Sesshoumaru what to do." He slapped her across the face. She fell to the ground being pulled out of his grasp by the blow. She held her cheek as she laid on the ground.

The air seemed to give a shutter. Sesshoumaru felt a demonic energy start to grow from the girl. 'What now?'

Korui's aurora pulsated. A burning hot feeling passed through her body. Her nails dug into the hard ground. A growl started deep in her throat, sounding more animal like then human. 'Did that just come from me?' She though but soon pushed it aside as her body started to transform again.

Her claws sharpened and got longer. Her hair faded from black to red starting at the roots. Her tail bristled as she got up. Her body temperature rose to almost a boiling point. Her cloths started to smoke and holes got burned in them. She ripped off the sleeves of her shirt, revealing markings running down her arms starting at her shoulders and stopping her wrists. Her hair was covering her face as her head was bowed. "How dare you strike me…" She growled. Her eyes flashed neon green as she looked up at him her hair moving away from her face. She ran at him, claws bared and snarling. She slashed at him fiercely, her claws glowing red. Sesshoumaru blocked most of her blows except one. Her claws melt four long gashes in his armor.

'Her claws are like my poison claws but they burn like fire.' He fingers ran along the marks.

Rin gasped. "Lord Sesshoumaru are you alright!" she cried out. Korui leapt at Sesshoumaru again. "Look out!"

Sesshoumaru saw her and leapt into the trees. Korui was hot on his heels. Sesshoumaru leapt from tree to tree trying to lose her long enough to think of a plane. He stood on a branch hidden mostly by shadow, looking for her. He heard nothing but the wind in the trees.

Korui crouched on a branch looking for her prey. She decided to toy with him a bit. A smirk tugged at her lips a bit. "1...2...Korui's coming for you." She said in a ringing childish way that held a little evilness to it. Her voice rang through the trees making hard to determine where she was.

"Damn…" Sesshoumaru growled quietly.

"3...4...be on your guard." Korui jumped to a new branch. "5...6...oh what a fix. 7...8...your close to hell's gate." She smiled wickedly as she spotted him and kept out of view. "9...10..." She fell silent the echoing dieing down. She crept behind him on the branch he was on so quietly and gently that he didn't hear her nor did the branch move under her added weight. "Oops too late…" She whispered in his ear. His eyes widened a bit in alarm and turned to face her but she was gone. "Oh come now, you got to be quicker then that." She taunted, her voice seeming to come from very direction.

"Come out now, stop with these petty hide and seek games." He growled looking about the trees for her.

"Oh your no fun." She said in a pouting way. "Ok then." She leapt at him from the tree near by him. He dodged her drawing his sword at the same time. She landed on the ground lightly and jumped at him again. "That's no fair, you get a sword." She swiped at him with her claws and he blocked her it with his sword sending blue and red sparks flying. Hardly noticeable but surely there where claw marks running along the seemingly invincible blade where her claws had hit. Sesshoumaru noticed this and got mad. His eyes flashed red and he ran at her.

Korui stopped in her tracks and started to put up the best defense as he attacked her with his sword. Her already burned cloths had new rips in them and she was bleeding as well. After a bit she saw an opening and took it attacking his side. Her claws ripped through the binding of his armor burning the cloth to ashes and leaving more claw marks as well. He armor fell off , causing him to trip over it slightly but he kept his balance. She smiled at her accomplishment. He turned on her his cool amber eyes now filled with rage.

"How dare you humiliate this Sesshoumaru, now you shall pay." He place his sword horizontally in front of him, the blade starting to glow blue. The air seem to prickle with electricity, Korui's hair frizzing a bit. 'What's going on? The air just changed suddenly.' Korui thought frozen where she was.

"Dragon Strike!" He bellowed turning his sword up to face the sky. Blue lighting started to strike the earth around Korui. She dodged a few but got hit by a rather large bolt. She was sent through the air with a sickening crack as she hit a tree behind her nearly splitting it in half. She slide down to the ground a bit limp. Her hair started to change back to black and red, her claws shrinking. Her left eye turned back to purple, the markings on her arms and cheeks fading away. She slowly got up holding her arm. A bruise had already started to form on her back., her vision blurred.

Sesshoumaru walked up to her and raised his sword ready to finish her off.

"Dance of Blades!" Kagura yelled, sending blades of yellow energy coming between Sesshoumaru and Korui with a wave of her fan. Korui had no idea what was going on. Kagura grabbed Korui and took off on her feather. The last thing she saw was the shrine shrinking and she got farther away from it. She soon passed out.

The little wolf scampered to where Korui's bag was. He transformed into his bigger self and picked it up. He sniffed the air and then took off after Kagura and his new master Korui.
