Clouds of pure darkness begin to cover the blue skies, obviously they were not natural, but the manifestation of something more evil... Almost like a horrible omen.
In the dragon valley, over the steeper peaks, things were much, much worse. The rain is pouring down, the wind is blowing hard enough to uproot the small trees, and thunder is crashing to the ground.
All this sinister spectacle is caused by the awakening of a single yokai, not this being easily positioned as a daiyoukai, despite not having human form.
It is the Dragon Spirit, an ancient daiyoukai, a natural disaster with physical form and reasoning.
...Christopher/Asahiko pov...
"Ahh, we're lost! I know, let's seize the moment and run away, Master Inuyasha!"
"If you want to leave, go away you cowardly flea. I had already said I wasn't planning on killing him in his sleep, now this just makes things easier."
Does Inuyasha have enormous confidence or can't he feel the power of that thing? It's just overwhelming the power I can feel, plus every second that passes, it grows more and more.
I want to attack while he is unprotected, I really want to attack right now, but... I can feel the weight of Clouded Fang, how my hairs stand up... It's a beast, a monster... I have to fight it.
"As, Asah, Asahiko!"
"Umm~ What's wrong Inuyasha?"
"Damn, I thought I lost you for a few moments."
As I turned my face towards Inuyasha to answer, I could understand the reason behind his words. It was only the reflection in his retina, but I managed to see how my eyes were now those of a fox, while a fang-filled smile hangs on my lips.
"Hahaha, easy there, Inuyasha~ This time the crazy one is on your side."
"Ahem, yes they've already agreed, can I go?"
"Hey, you're still here old Myoga."
Completely ignoring the two idiots beside me, he looked away from the dragon Spirit increasingly filled with more vitality and looked towards another mountain peak.
There stands Naraku, who noticing the dragon Spirit's recovery of rationality, though not movement, magically raises his voice.
"Dragon spirit, who stands before you is Inuyasha... The son of the one who has kept you sealed, Inu no Taisho. Let him quench your boredom for centuries!"
*crack* *crack* *crack* *crack* *crack* *crack*
"Get ready Inuyasha, this is going to get interesting~"
"I don't need your warning!"
His harsh response was purely by reflex, for upon seeing the mountain where the Dragon Spirit was sealed, Inuyasha stands to my right..
*Roar!*
His mighty roar sent the dust flying out, while the wind and thunderstorm became even wilder, managing to thicken the atmosphere of the place even more.
"What's this... Two kids who don't know their place... Hahaha, they won't be a bad appetizer."
"Ha, let's see if you can pull it off."
"Wow, I agree with you this time, Inuyasha."
Overlooking the discomfort of hearing the Dragon Spirit's voice, almost sounding like two pieces of metal being rubbed together, he pointed the tip of Clouded Fang towards her head.
It was a clear signal of "Come and get me, you filthy beast" Well, the second part was only translated in my mind, but it still works.
"Ignorant children!"
It was fast, abnormally fast, as he lunged towards us after releasing his words. The mountain peak we were standing on was reduced to nothing, only by the shock of his body, forcing us to jump over it.
"Let's go for the head!"
"I like that idea!"
Responding with an equally loud shout, so that we could be heard, we started running down the long body of the Dragon Spirit.
Inuyasha advances with his sword on his shoulder, since due to his weight he can only unleash a heavy and slow attack, making it difficult to attack fast again.
On the other hand, taking advantage of the fact that we are running over the Dragon Spirit's body, he placed Clouded Fang at the level of its scales. I immediately realized Clouded Fang was not able to penetrate, it only left a white stripe on the scales.
"Clouded Fang!"
Squeezing the hilt of the sword hard, I applied even more force and also began to feed it with my energy, causing it to gain a layer of red color on its blade.
"Mere games!"
Twisting its elongated body with incredible flexibility, its dragon-like face stares at us for a few moments, then opens its mouth full of pointed fangs.
*Tzzz* *Tzzz* *Tzzz* *Tzzz* *Tzzz* *Tzzz*
The raindrops evaporated instantly, while the air itself seemed to vibrate in the face of the attack it was preparing. It was a bullet of pure energy, more precisely of the thunder element.
"Left!"
"Right!"
We both quickly jumped off the scaly body, Inuyasha went to the right and I went to the left, managing to avoid the sphere of pure energy that was heading towards us.
*Boooommmm!*
The energy sphere goes through the mountain like butter, but that was not the end, as it then begins to expand and ends in a huge explosion.
Only the generated expansive force manages to pull me out of the previously thought course, I'm almost 500 meters away from the explosion, what the heck.
"Merely a puppet, an extremely cowardly act. Now you people... Disappear like the ants you are!"
Without giving time to analyze how he has completely obliterated Naraku, he cranes his neck towards the sky and lets out a deep roar, causing thunder to fall like rain.
I didn't think it was possible to dodge these thunderclaps, there are too many of them together, extremely fast and possibly full of lethality. They had to be intercepted, more accurately detonated in midair.
"Moon Form:Half moon."
Slashing with Clouded Fang forward, a large swath of flames appear there and these quickly take the shape of crescents, flying forward.
*Boom* *Boom* *Boom* *Boom* *Boom* *Boom*.
"Being a bigger ant than the rest, doesn't make you special... You're just a bigger target!"
Shouting proudly, the Dragon Spirit begins to charge another sphere of energy, looking directly at where I am.
"Well let's see if it hurts when you get bitten by ants!"
Suddenly appearing behind the Dragon Spirit, Inuyasha swings Steel Fang just as if it were a blunt weapon, which is good, since this guy's scales are tough... Very tough.
*Boom*
The blow to the head didn't do anything to him, it only served to force the Dragon Spirit's head to the right, preventing it from shooting at me.
Noticing that, he created another large amount of flames with another Clouded Fang move, then using them as a barrage of cover, all for us to meet Inuyasha.
"Hahaha, your hands are shaking Inuyasha."
"Tsk, the bastard's tough... Just like Shippo's head."
Grabbing Steel Fang with one hand, Inuyasha begins to shake the other now free one, as if to make the cramp go away.
"MA, MA, Master Inuyasha, did you just compare the Dragon Spirit's armor to a fox's head?"
"Hush, Myoga, besides what are you still doing here?"
*Booooom!
A huge thunderclap descends from the sky, managing to silence all of us and also leave us mowed down by the brightness. Such a power of nature didn't fall in the surroundings, but hit right into his scaly hand, forming in a few seconds a spear of lightning.
It was less than a second, between the time we saw the spear with our eyes and it was upon us, leaving us only to jump sideways to dodge.
Zero noise, zero exploitation or bright lights, the mountain we were on before was split in half cleanly, leaving a perfect scar.
"Luck, mere luck... How much more will they be able to live off of it!"
Danger, danger, danger, danger, danger! It only manages to pop into my mind, even more so when I see how the dragon spirit extends its second limb towards the storm. The damned thing is thinking of creating yet another spear, as if one wasn't enough.
I had to act, even if it was at the cost of having to listen to the murmurs of Clouded Fang, that is to give it energy... A lot of energy.
"Ahhh! Moon Shape:Gibbous Crescent!"
My flames have never had a definite shape, that's why I use moon shapes, to get a clear picture of what I want to do and it was time for that training to work.
The reddish beam that I normally released with Clouded Fang is nowhere to be found, now it is many times larger and the energy takes the shape of a Crescent Gibbous.
*Boooooom!
The reaction was as expected, the instant the thunder from him contacted my flames, the whole sky was painted in a bright color and a huge shockwave spread around.
"Amazing, truly amazing... But what's the use, I can go back and create more!"
"Hahaha, are you telling him or me, Asahiko?"
"Let him figure it out on his own."
He's missing a finger... The clash between our forces only succeeded in that, getting a damn finger ripped out of his hands.
"What are you talking about, you little ants... A, ah, Ahh! Damn, damn insects I'm going to kill you!"
His fury was clear, just like the weather, as the latter changed from a light storm to quite the typhoon. Literally the winds uprooted vegetation, the thunder was now constant and the rain looked like needles.
