Chapter 2: Prevent Forest Fires

The cry of the Soul-Eater was so loud, I fell off of its back, clutching my ears in pain.When it finally stopped its squeal, it bite down into the ground to gain revenge for its lost ear, but I had already regained my senses and leapt out of the way. The monster had gotten smarter, however, it was a step ahead of me and it crushed me with its massive paw. The tip of it was on my stomach, causing me to spit, since I hadn't eaten anything in a while so I couldn't puke. However, my arms were free and I drew my scythe/flute to my lips and played a soft tune. The Soul-Eater swayed a bit, and then fell to the ground in a pool of its own blood, sleeping.

I stood up, breathing awkwardly, surprised that I wasn't two dimensional. Once I regained a normal breathing rate, the ground beneath me shook. I turned my gaze to the right to find terror in my wake. There were three other Soul-Eaters, and they were flattening my forest.

Now Sesshoumaru new something unprofitable to him was going on. The ground was shaking and he could hear many trees crashing following that blood-curdling scream from the monster.

"M-my lord!" Jaken screamed, hiding behind his legs. "A terrible battle has begun! I know these wolf-like giants! They are Soul-Eaters! And true to their name they feast upon wandering souls, and if they can't find those, they kill people to then extract their soul! This must be the jackpot for them!"

"Yes. It's a wonder this forest wasn't devoured long ago if these 'Soul-Eaters' roam in this many numbers."

"No, my lord! This is an unusual event! Soul-Eaters are scarce, and usually don't come in packs like normal wolves. They tend to stick to themselves."

Sesshoumaru frowned. "Someone must have gathered them. Curse this forest. It clouds my senses! I'm seeing things for mys-"

He stopped when the image of the Soul gaurdian flashed across the sky. She didn't appear injured, but she looked truly frightened and extremely pissed.

"Jaken. Call Rin. We need the dragons."

"Y-yes my lord!"

Jaken left to send the signal with his staff into the sky that signaled to Rin, who Lord Sesshoumaru had not allowed into the Forest, for he feared for her life, she was only a human girl. Soon after, a young girl, raggedy looking, but smiling brightly arrived upon a two-headed emerald dragon no larger than a horse. Sesshoumaru leapt ontop of the dragon, and Jaken was lucky enough to have grabbed onto his boa on time to catch the ride.

They flew into the night sky. Jaken and Rin gasped in horror as three monstrous creatures blotted the horizon. The rising sun gave little light to veiw these creatures, but the trio had no problem in seeing the terror. It seemed as though a beam of light was coming out of their mouths, or rather, coming in their mouths. A closer look revealed many little orbs of light being sucked into the giant beasts.

"Those are Soul-Eaters all right! With each Soul they devour, the greater their power becomes."

The other two were silent as the sun rose higher in the sky, and all becoming more visible. Sesshoumaru's eyes widened slightly at what he saw.

"AAAAAAAAH!" Was my cry as I flew at these evil bastards who were smashing my home and eating my friends. As I jumped through the air, I went into my true form. My eyes inverted colors, my iris becoming a fierce white, while the rest of my eyes were black. My hair grew longer and my bangs spiked out. I grew two new pairs of ears, and fangs protruded from my mouth. My limbs grew longer, sharper, my nails transformed into claws, and I sprouted silver webbed wings from my back. (For a pic of her true form click here: http/i20. claws drove straight into the neck of one of the monsters, but that most of only felt like a scratch to it. To make it worst I twisted my hand in the wound and white lightening burst through the entire creatures body, electrifying it. The Soul-Eater fell to the ground, dead. I turned my blood-thirsty eyes to the nearest one which growled at me defensively. Another second, and I disappeared, only to reappear right in front of the giant wolf, and a shockwave blast that through trees through the air and created a canyon in the ground.

"RAAAAAAGGGHHHHH!"

My unworldly roar resonated through the morning air and I began to slice the throat of the Soul-Eater like crazy, slowly shredding it until I had thoroughly decapitated it. A lake of blood had formed beneath me, and I was covered in the crimson liquid, yet I didn't mind. I gave another cry to the sky, my sorrow profound and great. The other Soul-Eater was stupidly trying to eat as much as it could before it ran away. "DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEE!"

I held my hands above my head, pooring all my anger and sorrow into the energy ball of white lightening. It swelled to the size of a wagon befor I hurled it at the subject of all my pain. It burst the Soul-Eater open, its gore spilling across the torn landscape. I cried into the air, my heart hurting so badly. Even though all the creatures were dead, I was still pissed. I created another lightening ball (Chidori!) and threw it at the ground, causing a crater.

"AAAAAAAARRRRGGGHHH!"

I threw another one, and another, hating that spot of ground so much, until I was bombarding it with continuous blasts of energy. I cried into the air once again, and this lasted until I slowly transformed back into my former self, with nothing inhuman about me exept my eyes and ears, and hair, I guess, although white hair wasn't so uncommon. Losing my wings caused me to fall to the ground.

The three, human and demon alike, were awed by the magnificent performance of destruction they had just seen. Whoever would've guessed that such a quiet girl held so much power. And that girl was falling. "Catch her!" Sesshoumaru ordered and the dragons obliged. The young woman was three meters away from the ground when she was finally saved from certain injury. Physical anyway.

The dragon landed on the ground and Karmina slooped to the ground. Her knees buckled as her heart gavce way to despair. The forest was gone. Trees had been flung away from the Soul-Eaters, and her impressive fury. Only thing that remained was a flat plain of dirt.

"WAAAAAAAAHHHH!" Karmina cried desperatly, not holding back her sobs as she lifted her head to the sky. "My...friends..." she gasped between sobs. "They were...my friends...this...was...my home...I'm alone...again."

The sorrow was too much for her. She flung her head to the ground, in her arms and cried uncontrollably. The three were silent, and uncomfortable. They had just met this girl and had no way of comforting her. Then, the human, Rin, walked towards her and put a sympathetic hand on her shoulder. Karmina flung around and grabbed onto the startled girl desperately, wetting her kimono with tears. The startled girl's face softened and she turned to Sesshoumaru with such a look of pity.
