Chapter Seven Venom v Will
The spiders lunged out and began their attack, the teenagers linked arms as the brother whirled his sister in the air as she pulled out both her swords and began slicing their legs, as the spiders fell her brother took his double sided ax and cut the heads of the spiders. The duo kept close to each other and kept fighting them. Rin used her sword and daggers to fight them off and Kohaku jumped into the air to throw his sickle to hack some. Miroku used his sutras and staff to fight them off, "Something is not right, why are their underlings so weak? They were a lot stronger the last time we fought them." Then the thought came to him, "Where is their leader? Its carrying the most demonic aura around it."
His daughter, in mid air, hacked another spider scoping the area she shouted, "Father! Their leader! Its on the move to the village!" As she landed she cartwheeled a dodge from another spider, by doing so she kicked its face and her brother threw his ax at the spiders head. Miroku cursed under his breath, "It was expecting us, it had its underlings here as a distraction so it can attack the villagers." Kohaku removed his sickle from another spider and shouted, "Rin and I will go after their leader, Miroku you stay here and watch over those two. They may be underlings but their venom is just as poisonous." Rin nodded in agreement and Miroku shouted,"Alright we'll catch up you shortly." Rin ran and jumped on A-Un, as they slowly took off, Rin let down her hand at Kohaku. He killed another spider, jumped grabbing Rin's arm and swung his body to sit behind her. "Hurry A-Un!" Rin shouted, then she felt Kohaku wrap an arm around Rin's waist, she blushed but shook the thought from her head. In the air Rin and Kohaku can see the leader, it's legs were huge and black and they could see each step it took destroyed another home. A-Un flew and hovered over it, Rin and Kohaku looked at each other and nodded, both jumped off and began aiming for its legs. The spider turned and shot its webs at the two, but dodged. Rin threw her daggers and realized she only had two left, "Mask on!" Kohaku said as the threw a poison powder at the spider. Rin did so and took out her sword to hack at the legs. The spider shot its web again aiming for Rin. A-Un attacked it but realized it was too strong for them so they rushed and blocked the webs from attacking Rin. A-Un fell hard to the ground, Rin stood there in shock, "A-UN!"
She ran over to them but Kohaku blocked her, "You touch it you get stuck in it too Rin." Rin remembered the fact, but her heart ached for A-Un, "MOVE!" Kohaku shouted as he picked her up and moved the spider begun spewing his poison darts at them, luckily none of them hit A-Un. "A-Un will be fine, focus Rin." Kohaku assured her, still holding her close. Rin nodded and Kohaku let her go. Again the spider attacked them and both separated. Kohaku threw his sickle, managing to blind its eyes. This sent the spider on a wild rage, blinded it began to use the hairs on its legs for sight.
Its spewed its poison dart everywhere in the air. Kohaku threw its sickled one more time to cut the hairs on the left side, Rin took the right using her sword. This spider become even more dangerous, the blinder it became the moe the darts and webs came it, this was driving the spider insane with rage. "Almost there!" Rin shouted, Kohaku looked at Rin and jumped over to her, "Lets aim for the neck like old times sake." Rin nodded and pulled out the last of her daggers, "On my count." Kohaku nodded and the spider fell silent, that was their chance. Kohaku and Rin charged after the demon, Kohaku used the chain end and wrapped it around the neck, he flew on the other side and pulled back exposing the neck. Rin threw her dagger into the vital parts of the neck, pulled out her sword and sliced it up; the spider fell to the ground with a huge thud its demonic aura gone.
Kohaku pulled back his weapon and Rin sheathed, the both made eye contact, smiled and laughed. The webs soon discinigrated and A-Un was set free. Miroku and the others ran up to the two,"Great teamwork!" Miroku praised and the two teens hooted in joy. Rin and Kohaku stood by each other and got off the spider. "Lets go home!" Boasted Miroku's son, eager to go home and impress the villagers. They all began their walk and Rin walked in the back of the group. A-Un arose, shook itself and awaited for Rin.
A dark figure jumped threw the group and landed on Rin, another spider underling. They all shouted in fear, Kohaku ran and beheaded the spider, Rin lied there passed out. A-Un rushed over and began to whine, Kohaku sat her up, he started crying. Miroku and the others came to see only to get a horrific conclusion; the spider had bitten it's venom into Rin's neck.
