Kindred Spirits

Flames

Hisuri sidestepped a sudden pair of claws which ruthlessly swiped at her face. The intent to kill evident in the Dragoness's gaze. Through her roars erupted a flurry of crimson flames, which lashed at the unsuspecting Hisuri. The young woman flinched, her eyes retaining their luminescent glow. Her powerful blood pumping through her veins, giving Hisuri a rush she had never felt before. Almost euphoric. With a single swipe of her katana, the raging crimson flames parted ways. Leading a trail to the now glowing body of Hisuri. Her divine blood now raging within her, seeking a release. The urge to show how powerful she really was egging Hisuri on. And yet she chose to contain it. Knowing she did not have complete control over her divinity. Even so, Hisuri however did have control over half of her blood. The portion gifted to her by her Daiyokai father, Sesshomaru. Pure demon blood. One that Hisuri could easily tap into, after all she was so much like her father. Their urge to slay those before them opening the floodgates to the demonic power.

Easy to tap into Hisuri knew using her demon blood would also put her at a huge disadvantage. Dodging another breathe of fire, Hisuri quickly slid across the ground. Creating a great distance from the snow haired Dragoness whom was more enraged than before. " You dare to come back, after what you did!" " I don't know what your talking about!" Hisuri compared, only angering the Dragoness even more as the woman began to run towards Hisuri. Her movements nearly blurs as the sudden force of a kick sent Hisuri flying a great distance away. Her body skidding to a stop near the edge of the mountain.

Through gritted teeth Hisuri slowly rose to her feet. The once divine aura and flames which lapped at her flesh now nothing but a mere memory. And in its place was then replaced by a now rippling crimson aura, with slivers of blue lightning which crackled around her body. The Dragoness slowly approached now in utter awe at the sudden rush of power. The intensity of Hisuri's demon blood so overwhelming it caused the young Dragoness to stagger. Slumping to her knees as slowly Hisuri approached.

Her once luminescent gaze now that of a bloody crimson. Exactly like her father's when he was angered. Now standing a few feet from the distraught Dragoness, Hisuri held her katana out. The tip of the glowing blade pressed firmly against her throat. "I'd hope not to get too serious on this errand. But you've really pushed me." Hisuri began her voice a few octaves lower. A more mature and almost dark feel to her usual chirper self. Pressing the steel even closer to the Dragoness until she bled. " Making me go into my yokai phase was unexpected. Death comes to those who see me like this." Hisuri commented her words seeming to pierce the Dragoness deeper than any blade.

As her very body trembled at her words. Realizing that she was infact out classed and out matched. This woman. This intruder was no ordinary warrior. She was something else, something otherworldly. Able to bend a Dragon to her will was something she had only heard of. For as a child growing up with her father, the Dragoness was always told of a being higher than even they. And this being would be the true power. That it was the duty of the Dragons to protect this being. As they would Shepard the world into anew.

A being able to wield the divine flames of the heavens. And also able to wield the power of a yokai. Able to cause their foes to tremble under their gaze. And this being, was who the Dragoness believed Hisuri was. The light in this dark world of theirs. It was then that the Dragoness bowed before Hisuri, catching the woman off guard abit. Lowering her katana from the woman. "Forgive me. My kind only respects raw strength. But now..." The Dragoness began her voice filled with resolve.

"I see you for who you are. Great Messiah." The Dragoness stated now utterly confusing Hisuri whom opened her mouth to question the Dragoness but was interrupted by the sudden intrusion of another's demonic aura. One dripping with ill intent, and coming at them fast. " Be on-!" Hisuri began as a sudden burst of black flames came rushing their way. The Dragoness then stepped before Hisuri in one swift moment. Her skin suddenly becoming that of dragon scales. She then released a loud bellow sending her own flames towards the enemies. Which twisted and turned around one another before canceling out. Dissipating completely to reveal the image of a woman.

Hisuri released a gasp, believing her eyes were deceiving her as she gazed upon the intruder. Who's appearance mirrored that of her own, although this woman's eyes were that of a raven's wing. And yet Hisuri couldn't help herself. "M-Mother?" She questioned the woman who released an evident smirk before cackling evily. " Oh sweetheart, I am not that pitiful husk you call a mother." The woman spat her words themselves soaked in bile as she spit Shizuka's name.

Causing Hisuri's demon blood to boil. There was something about this woman that just angered her to no end. Made her very skin to crawl. Who was this woman? And why did she look like her mother? Peering back towards Hisuri,the Dragoness stood her ground. Asking if sge infact knew this woman. And to that Hisuri answered no, causing the raven haired woman to cackle maniacally. " Surely you remember the sensation. The fear of death upon you. As I ripped your mother's very life with my own hands." The woman answered with a smirk as Hisuri clutched her chest tightly. As the feeling of dread was heavy within her. This woman stirred something within her, and it scared her. "I-I don't understand." "Then let me clarify it for you." The evil woman stated as she extended her right hand before her.

A single finger held out as a flurry of black flames erupted from her fingertip. The flames crashing against the back of The Dragoness. Who had turned her back to the dangerous woman. Wrapping her kimono around Hisuri's form,as the Dragoness's robes took the shape of her snow white scaled wings. Which shielded Hisuri and herself from the dangerous black flames. Gathering herself, Hisuri took a low rooted stance. Her right hand gripping onto one of her many blades on her person. Realizing now it was only kill or be killed with this woman. Laughing once more the vile woman increased the intensity of her flames, bidding the rolling flames to lick at the wings which protected her prey. The Dragoness winced, her wings actually burning due to the unnatural fire.

"You can call me your Aunt!" She laughed sending even more flames towards the two. The Dragoness hissing as she was told to open her wings. And to this she did, her wings spreading out creating a brief break in the flames. Big enough for Hisuri to take off at an inhuman speed. Her demon blood coarsing through her veins so much infact she could hear it in her ears. Gripping onto her blade she drew it, the blade soon clashing upon a dark purple barrier the woman has erected. A smirk on her lips at Hisuri's actions. "My you are quite the abomination aren't you?" She commented before sending a wave of electricity through her barrier. Which wracked Hisuri's body with pain, she released a loud cry into the air. Separating herself from the barrier, Hisuri slumped to her knees. Volts of electricity continuously rushing through her being, debilitating her.

Seeing this the Dragoness rushed to Hisuri's side, helping the young woman to stand. All the while trying her best to move them away from the flames and the evil woman. " Now where are you going?!" The woman spat as she slowly raised her hands in the air. The act creating a wall of black flames which entrapped Hisuri and the Dragoness unable to escape. Gritting her teeth, the Dragoness gently layer Hisuri on the ground beside her. Careful not to warm the deblitaed Hisuri, whos body trembled in pain. " I will hold her off Messiah. When you are able please escape thhs place." The Dragoness ordered, her words angering Hisuri who would normally speak out in a rage. But was unable. With a sorrowful smile the Dragoness turned her gaze towards her opponent.

Stepping forward the Dragoness smirked, her divine aura beginning to ripple around her body in a crimson glow. Cracking her knuckles the Dragoness bound into the air. The crimson aura pulsating through her entire body. Her body feeling as it too were on fire, as her muscles and bones began to grow rapidly. Cracking and roaring loudly the Dragoness hissed, her humankind appearance melting away into that of an all white serpant like dragon. Bearing crimson and black tendrils, the dragon roared loudly before speaking. Its voice a mixture oc beast and woman "I'm your opponent now." And to this The woman smirked commenting "Good, I've heard its good luck killing your second dragon." A comment causing great rage in the Dragoness whos roar sent a wall of crimson flames which rained down heavily upon the woman.

Yet even then, the woman was able to crack a smile. Effortlessly swatting the flames away with a single motion, causing great concern to settle within the Dragoness. Who was this woman?
