The Darkness Within Our Hearts - Chapter 02: A Dog Demon Named Anika

 

Bankotsu stole through the silent village, slipping from house to house like a wraith. The snow was so heavy he didn't have to, but he did it anyway. He located the target's house.

 

"Knock knock." Whispered Bankotsu. He selected an implement from his belt, a grappling gun "borrowed" From the assassins of the Bloodletters' Isles. He fired at the chimney of the small wooded house. The rope wrapped itself around, and Bankotsu climbed his way up the side of the house.

 

Inside the house, the target, a man called Perter Sswass, was relaxing. And why shouldn't he? He was rich.

 

"Ah... life is good. If only those fools in the army had of realised what they were missing... but who cares. Girls!" The deserters' gritty voice carried through the two-room house. Three beautiful women came from the second room, tittering at a private joke. Women! Sswass thought they were a waste of time. "Come sit beside uncle Sswass."

 

Bankotsu tied his rope around the chimney "Here I come."

 

The woman was kneeling in front of Sswass when suddenly the window smashed inwards, showering the man with razor-sharp glass.

 

"What the- who are you?"

 

Bankotsu drew his halberd and advanced, stepping across the shredded body of the woman.

 

"Who the hell are you?" Asked Sswass again. "You're a... Mercenary?"

 

Bankotsu looked deadly, like a predatory bird. Starring down his prey with his blue-gray eyes. Dressed in a white kimono with dark-blue colorings, half his body covered in armor with a red sash around his waist. And a dark purple cross with pointed ends laid center of his forhead framed with his long black-blue braided hair was streaked with melting snow.

 

"...Yes. But that piece of information won't help you where you're going...HELL!"

 

Bankotsu flashed forward, ripping his halberd striking Sswass neck, cutting it off. His head feel from his shoulders and rolled along the smooth floor. Crimson blood spurted over the two remaining women, drawing a chorus of screams.

 

"Oh! I haven't forgotten about you two!" Bankotsu smirked raising his halberd over his head, ready to strike again with his Banryuu.

 

oo.

 

The young girl in red was at the height of 5' 7", creamy white skin, ruby-red eyes, short red hair with a black band that goes along in the front of...her puppy ears! She wore a chinese style red dress, with black unigue designs, the front ended at her thighs and the back part reached down to the back of her knees, under she wore white short-shorts with the edges outlined in black And had red kimono like sleeves on her arms and red material shoes with rich red transparent straps tied around her lower legs.

 

Inuyasha's red kimono caught her eye. And she turned to face, a group humans and a demon. She looked closer and she seemed to reconize who Inuyasha is. "Oh? You must be Inuyasha..."

 

"Did...did you slauther this village!" Inuyasha snapped.

 

She didn't answer with words. She brought her hand to her mouth let out a little giggle from her lips. "Funny boy. Aren't ya'?" She giggled again.

 

"Killing the innocent isn't funny!" Inuyasha growled again, getting annoyed by the girl's childish attitude. "Your denched in human blood!" He stated and pulled his Tetsusaiga out and pointed it at the girl.

 

"My! What a monsterous sword you have there...!" She said in a clam yet childish tone.

 

"Hmph! Say 'hello' to my friend! TETSUSAIGA!" Inuyasha lifted his sword high into the air and smashed it down into the ground making bright golden blasts of energy."KAZI NO KIZU!"

 

Inuyasha's attack made a direct hit and a large explosion was made. Inuyasha smirked, soon the smoke cleared but left no body. "Hm? I must of destroyed her body...oh well..." Inuyasha sighed.

 

"Ha! What was THAT just now?!" A voice laughed from behind.

 

Inuyasha turned around and watched as the girls nails grew 30cm long! Her nails digging into his flesh and came out on the other side. She used her free hand to cut Inuyasha's hand that was holding onto Tetsusaiga.

 

"Ahhhhh!" Inuyasha screeched in pain, as he dropped Tetsusaiga to the ground.

 

"INUYASHA!" Miroku and Sango cried.

 

Anika pulled her attack out of Inuyasha's body and jumped back, her hand covered with fresh blood. "What a weak pathetic youkai...oh, my mistake...your a hanyou. This just dissappoints me even futher..."

 

"HIRAIKOTSU!" Sango yelled and threw her massive boomerang at the girl. The girl stood there and watched as Hiraikutsu came her way.

 

"Are you aiming for ME?" A powerful aura bagan to emit from the red-headed youkai and she punched Hiraikutsu, stopping it in it's tracks. "Cool toy...but...DON'T UNDERESTIMATE ME!" She yelled and picked up Sango's boomerang. "Here! Have it back, mortal!" She threw the weapon back at Sango.

 

The boomerang was going much faster, maybe it's because a youkai threw it...?

 

Kirara came in the way of the boomerangs attack and knocked it up, Sango took the oppertunity and jumped on Kirara and caught her boomerang.

 

"Oh! That's impressive." She smiled and watched as Sango flew over her with Kirara.

 

"What are YOU starring at!" Inuyasha yelled. " SANKONTESSOU!" Inuyasha brought his claws down upon the girl's back.

 

Anika threw her head back and screamed in pain.

 

oo.

 

"Inuyasha you stuck up bastard..." Kagome mumbled and continued to ride her bike. "Maybe I should head back..."

 

Kagome stopped her bike and turned around. "But I'm not planning to apoligize to him!" She spoke to herself again. As Kagome rode her bike sensed the precence of a shikon shard.

 

"A shikon shard! And it's aura has been corputed!" Kagome sped up her pace and headed towards the Shikon shards precense.

 

oo.

 

The female samurai stared up at the walls of Zamorra. "Let's get to work..." She spoke to herself.

 

As she approached the gate, the Zamorrian guards hailed her. "Who goes there?"

 

"Rei, samurai of the Xiamen Empire." Rei replied. The guards looked slightly taken aback.

 

"A samurai? It's been a while since a samurai entered Zamorra. Rales, go and open the gate." The second soldier went obediently, and within minutes Rei stood within Zamorra.

 

"Hey, I was wondering if I can have a word with the lord here? I'd like to discuss some important business with him..." She asked the guards.

 

The guard nodded. "His mansion is just up ahead...but I hear his been very busy lately...so make sure you make an appointment with him first..."

 

"Arigatou." Rei began to advance forward. "Too easy..." She whispered to herself.

 

oo.

 

The female dog demon touched the wound on her back, which was given by Inuyasha. "No man has ever struck me before...let alone touch me..."

 

"Heh! Well, you must of been toying around with weak opponents!" Inuyasha smirked as he cracked his knuckles ready for another attack.

 

"The name is Anika..." Anika smirked. "I think I'm finished playing around...it's time I finish you!"

 

"My words exactly!" Inuyasha jump over to his Tetsusaiga and pick it up, Tetsusaiga transformed into a bigger sword.

 

Anika dashed forward, and then seemed to...vanish?

 

"What the!" Inuyasha blinked. "Where did she?"

 

Anika came up behind Inuyasha again and rapidly bagan to dig her nails in and out of the Hanyou's body, earning a loud painful scream from him.

 

Anika's ears flicked and jumped away from Inuyasha dodging an arrow. Everyone turn and saw Kagome upon a hill top, having another arrow ready for fire.

 

"Kagome!" Miroku called.

 

"That youkai has two shikon shards in her arms!" Kagome announced.

 

"Oh? A girl with strange clothes firering arrows at me?" Anika smiled, as if excited. "Ok then...I'll fight you too." Kagome shot her arrow, her arrow glowed with a purple light.

 

"A-A purifing arrow!" Anika managed to jump out of the way in time. "Shit!" The red-headed youkai turned to Inuyasha. "Inuyasha! We're done for now! Ja ne! Byebye!" And then she dashed off with incredible speed.

 

oo.

 

"Hey! Bankotsu Oo-Aniki!" A young man called out, followed by three other men.

 

"Yo! Jakotsu!" Bankotsu waved to his commrade.

 

"Agh. You killed the whole village and didn't save any for us!" Jakotsu whined.

 

The leader laughed. "Well your just too slow! And don't worry...we're heading down to Zamorra. I hear the people there love to fight!"

 

"Should be fun..." A man named Suikotsu and sharped his claws along a large rock.

 

"Zamorra! Here we come!" Jakotsu announced throwing a fist into the air.

 

End of Chapter 02.

 

Jakotsu: Yes! Finally! I'm in the scene!

 

Bankotsu: Only for a little bit.

 

Jakotsu: So? I'm a STAR!

 

Inuyasha: No your not! I am!

 

Jakotsu: Oh, Inuyasha. Your just jealous, but don't worry...I still love you.

 

Inuyasha: Ew! Get away from me you little turd!

 

Jakotsu: Now, that's mean!

 

Anika: -Touches her back- Owie. Still hurts.
