Chapter 5
Ryukotsuei crushed a boulder in his talons, soulless red eyes rolling as he lifted his nose to the wind. Clouds obscured the sun as the wind ruffled his shock-white mane. He was bored with the destruction and weak opponents. Far to one side, lay the mangled bodies of the wolf youkai he had ousted. They put up a good fight, but... 'Those idiots. Even dreaming that they could challenge me was sheer stupidity.'
A new scent on the wind caught his attention. It was strong, powerful even. Powerful enough that its owner could give him a real challenge. The scent was reminiscent of wind, pine trees and sea salt. But what really set it apart was the healing the aura seemed to exude, one that influenced the scent he caught. 'An inu youkai? What is he thinking? The wolves didn't stand a chance, so he won't either.'
Suddenly, a howl floated through the air, seeming to chase the clouds away. This howl held an authority over youkai that only a demon lord could possess. There was a silvery-white flash over the horizon, moving swiftly over ash-gray stone. Another howl erupted, a clear challenge to the dragon laying in wait. The inu youkai raced over, then leapt over the boulders that had been crushed by the bored Ryukotsuei. He landed in front of the dragon with a snarl.
Red eyes took in the silvery-white coat, the fluffy tail and enraged snarl. The inu youkai's hackles were raised and his ears were pressed flat against his head. He sank into a lower crouch, ready to spring at a moment's notice. Finally, Ryukotsuei noticed the red waxing crescent moon emblazoned on the dog's forehead.
He laughed. "What can you do to me, dog? You can't harm my body! It is indestructible!"
A warning growl came from the inu youkai as he sank his claws into the earth beneath him. 'I could do more to you than you think. Invading these lands is not done lightly.' His tail lashed from side to side as his lips were pulled even further off of his teeth. Sparks of red began to dance in the gold of his eyes, signaling the anger that brimmed under the surface.
Again, Ryukotsuei laughed. "So, you are Inutaisho, Lord of the Western Lands. I was wondering when you would come." He opened his dragon mouth, energy gathering there. The large sphere was launched.
Inutaisho leapt away from the blast with great speed. It exploded behind him when it struck the mountainside. The taiyoukai lunged, scraping his claws against rock-hard scales. He whirled around and sank his teeth into the dragon's scales just behind his head. The inu youkai grabbed onto the beast's neck with his claws as he held on.
"You mangy mutt!!!" Ryukotsuei shook his head about, trying to dislodge the youkai holding onto him in a fairly vulnerable place. Suddenly, the scales tore; sending the white dog into the mountainside with a crash like thunder. A large talon pinned him to the ground, cracking the rock even more and causing the youkai's ribs to groan in protest. Energy crackled around the dragon's snout. "You're such a bastard!"
A resounding bark came from the dog, driving the dragon back in shock and causing him to snap his mouth shut. The energy dissipated with a sizzle like lightning. Inutaisho twisted his head around and sank his teeth into the leg that pinned him. The dragon pulled back in shock, then there was a sickening crack. Part of the dog's fang had remained in the superficial wound; which would now slow him down because of the pain radiating from it.
Inutaisho shook his head and leapt away from the crater created by his impact. A deadly growl escaped him; for Ryukotsuei had greatly angered him. The youkai landed on an angled slab of rock, sinking into an attack crouch. 'There is too much at stake for me to be beaten by the likes of you.' His sudden leap startled the dragon. Two large bodies collided with a sound like an eruption. The impact forced Ryukotsuei back, crashing into the mountain behind him. Four parallel slashes struck down his nose, weeping blood. 'Looks like you aren't as invulnerable as you would lead us to believe.' Red fury danced in the lord's eyes. He knew he had to finish this quickly, or a great price would be paid.
A taloned foot struck out, catching him deeply along the ribs. Instantly, a pained howl escaped him. The taiyoukai hip checked the dragon, forcing him away. He panted, feeling the extent of the wound he now bore. This was much worse than the snapped tooth and minor abrasions he wore from crashing to the ground multiple times.
"You are much more vulnerable than I." Energy crackled around the dragon's snout again. He was enjoying the battle; finding his skills challenged by one who wasn't the conventional demon lord. "This time I won't miss." 'I can't believe he managed to harm this body. What is giving him such strength?'
Inutaisho barked sharply, leaping away from his position. 'This wound is deep. I can't afford another.' Again, the attack exploded behind him, but nearly knocked him off balance. He landed with a snarl, glaring at the beast he was fighting. This was no friendly match, but a battle to the death of one or both. He dodged another attack, then proceeded to body slam the dragon yet again.
The taiyoukai dodged the bite aimed at him, then lashed out with his claws, catching the dragon's eye. Then he whirled around and bit his throat before leaping back. The scales there were weaker, but still too strong for him to bite through in one try. 'I have too much to loose, should he win. I must keep my family safe.' Again, he attacked, with a fierce bark. His claws scored a direct hit on the scales over the beast's heart.
Ryukotsuei reeled back, startled by the unexpected pain. What had that dog hit to cause such agony? It didn't make any sense. His body was indestructible, yet he felt like something was trying to rip out his very soul. Then he noticed the blood welling from the deep cut over his heart. 'Damn it, the armour is weakest there. How did that dog know? I can't let him do it again.' He released another orb of energy that was dodged with the same grace and ease as the ones before it. 'I don't get it. With that wound, he should be slowed down some. Is he ignoring his body? That will only get him killed! And I will do the killing!!!!!'
