Anika

Chapter 22

The next day Anika had her daily sparring session with her brother and was now on her break and was currently watching Saber face off Sesshomaru in his demon form. Saber was not going to go easy on the pup just because he was royalty and she didn't require for him to go easy on her either. Snarling guttural Saber tried to instill fear in the pup and she watched his careful footwork as they circled one another. Sesshomaru was then momentarily distracted by her barbed tail as it flicked from side to side. Saber leaped at Sesshomaru with her wings battering him in a fury of a whirlwind as she quickly over took him and had his furry throat between her deadly jaws. Snarling in annoyance Sesshomaru kicked Saber off of him as he tried to pin her down but was unsuccessful. Yelping in pain Sesshomaru stumbled back as his front paw was smashed from Saber's tail. Snarling in anger Sesshomaru still tried to leap at Saber but was unable to do so from his injured paw and instead was pinned to the ground himself.

"It seems I have found a weak spot pup." Saber told Sesshomaru as she let him up.

"Sesshomaru go to the healers and get that hand fixed I will face Saber for now." Touga who had been secretly monitoring the sparring session now stepped in between the two snarling beasts. Saber quickly attacked as soon as Touga drew his sword. Snarling up at his face Saber tried to dodge around the oversized sword that looked like a giant fang. Touga however was not about to be bested and made sure that he was facing Saber the whole time. What Touga failed to oversee was Saber's barbed tail and Saber took her time before she revealed her secret move. Touga was shocked by the quickness of the attack and was soon slashed in several places on his back. Grimacing in pain Touga turned to fend off what ever attacked him but was toppled by Saber as she leaped up at him. Saber let Touga up as she shook herself off and repositioned herself to face Touga again but he sheathed his sword and transformed into his true form and soon towered over Saber. Saber however was not to be scared off and soon took to the air and was flying around Touga's massive body slashing him in different places all at once. Touga soon bounded out of the dojo and took to the skies as well and soon the sparring session turned out to be a game of tag. Both Touga and Saber enjoyed the game very much and came back panting for breath and in high spirits.
