Chapter 6
Ryukotsuei roared angrily. 'This dog is more trouble than he's worth. I must kill him now.' He lashed out with his tail. Gray scales, harder than steel over top of iron hard flesh flew through the air with an intent to kill.
Inutaisho leapt away, feeling something deep within the wound tear. A sickening sound came from the wound along with a sudden wash of searing pain. He muffled a pained yelp then snarled. The dragon was wearing his patience thin. Inutaisho lunged with a snarl. His claws scored the flesh over the dragon's heart yet again.
Suddenly an energy blast hit his side, hotter than the hottest flame he had ever felt, yet freezing cold. The taiyoukai went tumbling; struggling to control his motion. The dragon panted as the inu youkai stumbled back to his paws. 'I can't let him get to my heart. That could be the end of me. He's far too clever a fighter to not have noticed.'
A strangled cough cleared the blood from Inutaisho's throat. It fell to the ground in crimson splashes, staining silver-white fur and dazzling white teeth the red of blood. 'You were so calm when I had you in a strangle hold, but now you seem panicked. I guess you have something to hide.' He sank into a crouch, preparing to leap into motion once again. The images of who he needed to protect swam through his mind; thus strengthening his resolve.
"Damn you, dog!" Ryukotsuei roared. With intense effort, he brought the rage that made him see red under control. 'I can't fly into a blind rage. Blood rages on my part may be beneficial to that dog. It will be far more deadly to me than to him.'
The taiyoukai felt a slight pinch behind his ear. 'What is it, Myoga?' He dodged another blow, then bit the dragon's leg. Ryukotsuei pulled back, yanking a fang out of his mouth. Inutaisho ignored the pain he felt, the exhaustion threatening to overwhelm him. There was so much he had to do, and he wouldn't let a dragon stop him.
"My lord, you can't possibly beat him without the Tetsusaiga!" the flea squeaked. Panic was rolling off of him in waves; he was scared so badly that he could pass out right there.
Inutaisho body slammed the dragon, back-kicking him into another mountain. 'I've noticed.' He dodged another wind whistling tail lash, slicing deeply into the flesh with his claws. He was relieved that the little amount of venom he had could cause such harm to the dragon. 'I have to wear him down more before I can perform a sealing. Get off, Myoga. The barest flick of jyaki from him could kill you.' He felt his retainer leap off, then turned to face the dragon again. 'My friend, look after Inuyasha.'
Ryukotsuei roared and bit the taiyoukai. Fortunately, for his opponent, he misjudged the distance and his jaws snapped together with a sound like a volcanic eruption. His fangs barely grazed the silvery fur on the dog's back.
Inutaisho turned with a snarl, lunging at the dragon. They struck the mountainside with the sound of thunder, sending boulders and other debris flying into the air. Such a sound nearly drowned out the roars and growls of the combatants.
As the boulders fell from the air, the two continued to bite, slash and shove. Wounds wept a rain of blood onto the ground below, sending up a steam from what was held within. Finally, the dragon threw off the taiyoukai. He moved to kill him when he felt a searing pain in his chest. There was a claw through his heart! He was pinned to the mountain! What was that dog trying to do?
Inutaisho coughed harshly, bringing up blood from his lungs. Silvery-white ears, splattered with crimson blood, turned to the dragon. 'He's confused. I wish I could have been able to do more, or at least come out of this battle without fatal wounds.'
"What have you done to me, you mutt?!" Ryukotsuei demanded. Rage flickered in his dark red eyes as he strained against the claw pinning him. His roars were causing the clouds to gather once more, lightning striking the ground around them.
Still, the dog stood proud, unmoving as the beast continued to threaten and thrash. Molten gold eyes turned to the dragon and a voice sounded in his mind. 'By my claw through your chest, bind the power of your beast. Darkness claims the waking mind to hide you from all life's time. Never again will your eyes see a land alive.'
Ryukotsuei froze in mid-struggle. As the spell took hold, slate gray eyelids closed over fiery eyes. "Damn you, dog!" he cried once more. The eyes on the mask slid shut and, with one final shudder, the spell sealed him. A desolate wind blew through the valley, stirring dust into the air again. Sunlight broke through the clouds, illuminating the scene. Inutaisho stood triumphant over his foe, but at what cost?
His body was battered, covered in lacerations, punctures and blood. He was missing two of his fangs. One claw pinned the evil creature, and his paw pads were covered in blisters. The red flecks of anger slowly faded from his eyes, leaving them his normal molten gold color. He sniffed the air, to see if the spell was strong enough to hold him. Inutaisho nodded in satisfaction. That dragon wouldn't bother anyone for many years.
At last, his family was safe. Inutaisho felt pain flood through him, sudden and fierce. It was like he was being burned alive through each wound he had been dealt. He fell to the ground with a resounding crash. Blood pooled around him, each beat of his heart giving more of the living liquid to the ground. His energy nearly spent, he reverted to his humanoid form. A soft moan escaped him as blackness swam through his vision.
Before darkness obliterated rational thought, he noticed something green in the blue of the sky. Ah-Un was approaching, rapidly. On the beast's back was his firstborn, Sesshomaru. They continued to get closer, urgency oozing from their very being. This wasn't something that either wanted to see, but had to know.
A soft thud reached his ears before his hearing grew muddy. "Tousan!" Sesshomaru cried, his voice sounding distant. "Kami-sama, she was right. Hang on!" The young lord tightly bound his father's wounds before hoisting him onto the dragon-like youkai. They took to the sky, flying deep into the Western Lands. One dying, the other hoping for a miracle.
