Chapter 4
Attack
Yells, cries and shrieks flitted through the morning air, cutting off as suddenly as they sounded. Tsume was the first to wake from the nerve-wracking cries that tore through the air. The ookami was immediately followed into wakefulness by Inu Yasha. Both were highly disturbed by the screams carried by the morning breeze. Both quickly went to rouse the others. Tsume went and woke up Sango by shaking her awake.
Inu Yasha used simpler methods by just kicking Miroku and saying harshly, “Oi! Wake up bozou!” Miroku just rolled over.
Rolling his eyes, Inu Yasha used the last method, “Miroku! Look! There are naked girls outside that want to bare you child!” Miroku woke up instantly and sprang to his feet.
“Where?” he asked oh so intelligently ((KY: note the sarcasm there ^_~)).
Inu Yasha yelled at him, “Bozou! Hurry up! The village is being attacked!” Miroku’s eyes went wide and he quickly got ready. Kagome had been waken up by Inu Yasha’s yelling, and had gotten up herself, waking up the kitsune child in the process.
“Oi! Hurry up bitch!” Inu Yasha growled harshly, “The village is being attacked! We need to be there NOW!”
Kagome’s eyes went wide and she moved as fast as she could to get ready.
As soon as they got ready, they ran as fast as they could towards the village. Inu Yasha carried Kagome, Miroku and Tsume ran alongside him, and Sango and Shippou rode on Kirara.
Arriving on the scene quickly, the group found the villagers doing their best to defend themselves. Their attackers were about thirteen or fourteen black dog-like looking things. The only thing was, they were all larger than a horse, right about the size of Kirara, if not bigger.
Three of the demons lay dead on the ground already, sticky-red blood spouting form their open-wounded bodies.
The first had been decapitated, the raggedness of the wound showed that it was not a clean cut, and had definitely caused quite a bit of pain.
The second one had various sharp items severed into its body, like picks and pitchforks ((again, like chapter one, were they invented yet????? O_O)), javelins and katanas. . Making it look like a pincushion ((okay, a big, black, dog-like, furry, BLOODY, pincushion; but a pincushion none the less O.o)).
The last one wasn’t nearly as bad. It was just ripped into hundreds of tiny pieces, and lay in a puddle of red, sticky, blood, and decapitated (( O_O...... riiiiiiiiiight, not nearly as bad *again, note the sarcasm*)).
The demons’ loss wasn’t nearly as bad as the villagers though. Perhaps thirty or so men, women and children had been killed, out of the two hundred or so people that lived in the village. Most of the dead were women and children, their corpses cover by the men that had tried and failed to protect them.
One of the demons paused in the onslaught. This one was bigger than the rest, bulkier, and Tsume took him for the leader. He looked over at her warily. “Ywh omce erhe, canis lupis?” he asked her in the demonic tongue. Tsume mentally translated in her head, ‘why did you come here, wolf?’. Tsume’s eyes were tinting pink by now, but she restrained herself.
“Nals emni shete!!! Sate Yald Tsume ma em!” She told him, snarling all the while. ‘These lands are mine!!! I am the Eastern Lady Tsume!’
The oversized dog made a strange sound, somewhere between a snort and a laugh.”Yald yohuna on, gilyn oyu,” he told her, still chuckling in a deep, rumble-y way. ‘There is no Lady that is hanyou, you are lying.’
“I am not!!” Tsume snarled, forgetting to speak in the demonic tongue again. That was a direct blow to her honor, who was he to call her a liar, the insult bit into her deeply. Tsume’s eyes had turned even more red, and now they were a strong ruby-red ((Ok ya’ll, think what Inu Yasha looks like when he transforms into a full demon, or when Sesshomaru goes into his original form or gets pissed off very bad)).
The fighting had ceased, and both parties were eying the other wearily.
Suddenly, the black dog-demon swept a paw through the crowd, and picked someone at random.
Makato thrashed helplessly in the demon’s grasp.
“Chawt worep emni!” ‘Watch my power!’
The dog’s eyes glowed green, and Makato cried out in helpless terror and pain. He released his paw from the boy, and Makato floated in mid-air, a green translucent light surrounded him. Tsume charged at him, blind with fury.
The dog barely spared her a glance, the green in his eyes flickered, and the light swept around her, along with the rest of the villagers and the fighter group.
“Chawt!” he commanded. ‘Watch!’
Tsume struggled against the strange light, but to no avail. She watched helplessly as the dog strangled Makato with the same light that held her.
Then there was loud snap, and Makato went limp.
Makato’s head lolled on his shoulders, and Tsume could hear no heartbeat.
His neck had been broken.
The demon gave a satisfied grunt and dropped his magic, the green light fading into darkness, and Makato fell to the ground in a crumpled heap.
Tsume fell to her knees, and bitter tears of hatred caused rivulets on her dirty cheeks. Everyone else looked at the dog in horror. A deep rumbling noise came from the dog, and Inu Yasha’s brows furrowed together, then shock appeared on his face, then turned into sheer rage. “It’s laughing!” he snarled ferociously.
Tsume didn’t seem to hear him, she just sat on her knees staring into space, a lost look in her eyes.
“Tsume, get up! Get up you worthless wolf!” Inu Yasha shouted. The insult didn’t even send a spark through her, as he had hoped it would. “Fine wench, all the use you are,” Inu Yasha scowled as he pulled out his sword, Tetsusaiga, the steel-cleaving fang. With a bellow, he hurled himself at the demons, almost recklessly swinging his sword.
Tsume sat there motionless, emptied and void of all thoughts and actions. Nothing happened, she sat there, and didn’t even cry. Screams and cries rang around her, but they were in vain, for the shouts and pleas fell upon deaf ears.
A little girl, no older than three lay huddling against the wall of a burning shed. “Okaa-san.....” the child whispered, “Okaa-san, please come back.” A brown ear flicked back to the heart-broken whisper. A flame sparked in her eyes, then another one came to life, followed by another, and another, and another, until her eyes glowed crimson, the color of her demon blood. Feeling her youki surging, trying to rid herself of her human blood, she cried out in desperation:
“Doblo otou, doblo okaa, doblo nee dan ink! Vige em werpo nimodec terhegi, vige em werpo hiniwt!”
Yelling the last part probably as loud as she could, it’s power filled every being. But as quickly as it came, it expelled, leaving in a mass of purple energy that surrounded Tsume.
It was a low growl. A growl that no mortal human could make, one that could only escape from the mouth of an animal. And it was coming from Tsume.
Her nose and mouth lengthened, while her arms and legs grew to equal lengths. Her hair fell into a mane, falling over her right shoulder, and her tail grew to match her body. Dark brown hair sprung up from her skin, covering her body, and her eyes glowed red. Crimson red. The color of the blood that spread over the battlefield like a cloud spreads shadows on a sunny day.
A huge wolf stood towering over them, roughly the size of a three story house. Growling venomously, she bared her razor sharp fangs, each one roughly the size of a person’s leg, curling out over her jaws. Curling her lips into a fearsome snarl, Tsume, now a blood-lusting monstrous wolf, reigned havoc on the lesser black dog demons.
She tore five apart with one sweep of a paw, her claws shedding the youkai into ribbons.
Snapping her teeth in the air, she tore another seven up in less than a second. Her speed was equal to, or even greater than, Sesshomaru at the moment. Growling nastily, she turned to the demon that she had spoken with earlier.
Snatching him up in her paw, she snarled at him, “Derermu! DERERMU!” ‘Murderer! MURDERER!’ She squeezed him until his bones cracked and he could no longer breathe, and she strangled him until he was nothing more than a pile of flesh, crumbled bone, and blood in a crumpled heap on the bloodstained ground.
The huge wolf looked down at the remains of the demon, and then to everyone standing around, looking on at her in awe and fear. They flinched back when she spared them a glance. Her eyes lost their glow, and she slowly returned to her humanoid hanyou form.
Holding herself, she cried until there were no more tears. She cried herself into exhaustion, and finally into sleep, not even noticing that the villagers were too afraid of her to approach, and silently retreated to try and rebuild their homes.
She didn’t even notice that the only people that had stayed were the ones she had helped only the day before. And they went by the names of Inu Yasha, Kagome, Miroku, Sango, Shippou, and Kirara.
