This is my first go at writting on something like this. I've written other storys with pen and paper, but I've only ever shared them with poeple close to me. I want an honist a respectable opinion on my story and wrting.

So I hope you enjoy.

Nain akebono (translation, no beginning)

He gripped the sword tighter in his hand and felt the soft cloth of the hilt rub underneath his palm. Befor him, his so called enemy shifted her spear to her arm.

"You ready for round two?" she said, her voice echoing though the loud hall way they were in.

With out a word he nodded and readyed his doragon uyoko. He cought a glance of himself in the steel of his katana. His face was ruffer then it had been it the morrior the last time he was at home. His left eye was blood shot, and the scar going down his right eye made his vison worse.

He quickly looked back to the ciniomon skin women and front of him, and with out a second thought, charged.

He came down hard with doragon uyoko, but the women blocked it with the pole of her spear. She pushed him back and and struck at him with the tip of her spear. He fliped back, failing on the landing and falling to the ground on his butt.

The women gave out a delictit but tauting laugh.

"Is that the best you have?" she said losing her smile and gaining a more serious composure.

He got to his feet, using doragon uyoko like a cane to get himself to his feet.

"Not by a long shot." he said running up to her.

This time she made the first strick, trying to hit him with the butt of her spear. But this time "he" side steped vanishing from her vison for a second before reapearing behind her. He came down hard once again but was met with the same success as the first attack. The cinommen colored skin women wirld around and blocked the attack with the pole of her spear like last time.

They stud there for a momet. Eyes locked, weapons looked, waiting to see who moved first.

They both did, pulling away and coming back at each other. They attacked, slashing at each other, but their weapons only met each other and emitted a long ringing sound.

They pulled away from each other and came at each other again, attacking, their weapons empacted and created another ringing nosie that could be heard all through out the halls.

They charged each other again but this time "He" blocked her strike with doragon uyoko. The cinimon colored skin women's spear empacted his kantans blade. The shear force of their weapons coliding caused a cuncussion bettwen the two causing them both to shudder in pain. But this pain was familiar to to him.

He faught through the pain.

He pushed her off, siding her falling back and her spear sliding away.

"So you aren't" he shuddered in pain "just a pretty face, hum? Hard for me to believe someone like you still exist's in this day and age."

She got to her feet, extended a hand to where her spear lay on the stone floor.

It rattled for a moment before flying into her hand.

"I have to salute you on your actions for coming this far, but" she tossed the spear into the air, it went up and created a full cricle before coming down, where the women caught it perfectly out of the air with little effort, and twrled it around and pointing the tip at "He". "This ends here!"

"He" understood was about to happen next, but that still didn't keep his heart from beating any faster.

The women thrusted the spear into the ground.

"Come forth" she said camly " Come forth from the grey woods. Come forth and defaet all those who would harm you. Come forth and howl at the moon! Come forth, "ookami iki"

With that the sharp howl of a wolf was heard and white smoke began to come forth from every part of the women's body until she was surronded in it.

Things where silent and "He" watched the smoke.

All of a sudden a white fured claw came out form the smoke and came down at "He", but he jumed back in time to see the large white wolf materialize from out of the smoke.

So this is her spears true form. "He" thought

The wolf was large, almost a story high, and it stared down at "He" with piercing yellow eyes.

If things weren't already hard enough.

NOT GETTING SCARED I HOPE?? The voice of the cinomen skined women came from the large wolf.

"He" didn't think, only attacked.

He ran at the wolf. It swotted at him with its paw, but "He" jumped onto the paw and launched himself up at the wolfs face.

It was time to even the playing feld.

He was over the wolf's head when he began to utter his own incantation.

"Descend from the topless mountains. Descend, and destroy all those who oppose you. Descend, and take flight. Descend, "doragon uyoko"

Then they sproted from his his back. Two red wings of a draon keeping him suspeded in the air.

Laughing came from the wolf who now looked up at "He"

SO THIS IS THE FAMED, DORAGON UYOKO, HUM. I MUST SAY I'M NOT IMMPRESSED.

"He" grinned

"Doragon uyoko, isn't here to immpress you" he pointed his sword at the wolf "it's here to defeat you."

He flew down at the wolf. The wolf jumped up and tried to swott him but he stopped, just out of the wolfs rang and began to fly down again. He readied his sword and cut down into the face of the wolf.

The wolf howled as red blood staned its snow-white fur.

The wolf shook its head, geting the blood from out of its eyes and spraying the blood on everything eles.

"He" took this opportunity to try and get at the beast's throat.

He flew low to the ground, but the wolf saw his move and jumped back with one heavy leap, swatting at "He" as it did.

"He" flew lower to the ground, inches from the floor, dogeing the swat.

He flew back up to the wolfs throat and with lighting speed spead past it, cutting into it has he did.

The wolf howled in pain again.

The wolf wirld around and jumped up into the air.

She's trying to crush me, crap!

"He", made his wings go faster then they had ever gone before.

The wolf landed on the ground and began to persue him.

"He" looked back over his sholder and saw the wolf following him, taking heavy and slow leaps.

He looked into its eyes.

Got to blind the damb thing! But how?

He looked forward to see that the large hallway was coming to a dead end.

Got to make this fast.

He flew even fatster, flipping, landing on the wall.

He looked up to see the wolf coming at him at full speed.

NOW!!!

"He", pushed off the wall reading his sword.

The wolf didn't know what hit it.

It howled in pain as "He" stood on its nose with doragon uyoko, plunged deep into its eye.

DAME YOU, DAME YOU!!! GET OFF, GET OFFF!!

The wolf jumped around and howled like a horse, but "He" stayed perfectly still with doragon uyoko secured in the wolf's eye.

In a wild fury the wolf bashed its head into the wall of the hallway. The sudden jerk forced his katan to come free and "He" was thrown hard into the wall, where the wolf pined him with its paw.

YOU LITTLE SHIT!!! it grawled through clenched teeth I'LL RIP YOU TO SHREDS

"He" tried to force his way out but the wolf was to strong.

Got to break free.

The wolf put up its other paw ready to swat.

SAY GOOD NIGHT LITTLE FELLA.

The wolf began to bring down its paw.

Is this it? "He" thought has everything I done brought me here, only to die?

Just then a streek of light went straight through the paw that was holding "He". The paw bursted into blood, and "He" fell to the floor.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

The wolf fell to the floor, writhing in pain.

What the? Who did that, he had me dead to rights?

"He" looked around and saw, her, Roda laying on the ground.

He ran over to her and saw that her, kitsunetsume was un sealed. The gun like weapon twisted and turned around her hand to her elbow like a snake made of light, and then retreated into her hand where it morphed back into the familiar Colt revlover she always carried.

"Roda!" "He" said shacking her flimsy form.

The girl's eye's began to stir.

A smile went across his face.

"Roda, dammit girl, I thought you where dead?"

The young blond girl cracked a smile.

"I am." she said weakly.

The smile on his face faded.

"What are you talking about? Roda, I don't understand you're right here, right in front of me." He put her gentil hand on his cheek. "See, I can feel, and you can feel me." A tear escape his eye and fell to the ground.

Roda smiled weakly holding up her revolver in a shaky hand and looking at it.

"Good old kitsunetsume" she said gazing upon her revolver fondly "it let me live long enough to see you again" she smiled running her hand across his ruff face "I can see kitsunetsume was looking out for you as well."

Roda coughed violently.

"Roda don't go!"

She smiled at him

"You stupied kid" she took in a whezzy breath "you know how this here gun works."

"Yes, I know, but"

"Then how does it work!" Roda interrupted

"He" fought back the tears that welled up behind his eye.

"Every time you fire kitsunetsume, you lose one year of your life."

She smiled again ruuning her hand through his hair.

"That's correct. That was my last year, I got no more rounds left."

"But you can't say that say that! If I beat"

"You can't save me." Roda said putting her finger onto his lips "you and I, we both knew this would happen someday."

"He" let all his tears come out

"But I didn't think it would be so soon."

"Stop crying." she said camly wiping away the tears from his face "It's unfitting for the weilder of the doragon uyoko."

He looked into her eyes, and she into his.

Their lips met and "He" kissed her deeply and truly, holding onto her to the point were he thought her small and weak from would snap.

Roda broke the embarrass, softly pushing him away.

"I love you" she let losse the tears she'd been holding back "so...so very much."

Then she took on a more serious look.

This look was the one he was a custum to.

She held up her gun to her face.

"I'm ready," she closed her eyes, and began her final incantation "Tread softly, through the rain and snow, fire and destruction. Tread softly as you look into deaths eyes. Tread softly, kitsunetsume."

A bright light emited from the gun and enveloped Roda.

She began to fell lighter and lighter until "He" could no longer feel her at all. Suddunly the light vanished and there was only the Colt revolver where Roda had been.

BOOO HOOOO HOOOO

"He" turned his head to see the deformed white wolf standing up behind him.

WAS THAT THE FAMOUS RODA NIGHTINGALE I SAW? YOU TWO WEREN'T TOGEATHER I HOPE, BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE JUUSSSST LOVELY.

The beast began to laugh the same annoying laugh the cinomen skin'd women laughed.

"He" turned his back to where beloved Roda had layed. Her siliver revolver was still laying there, gleaming in the light of the hallway.

SHE'S DEAD, SHE' DEAD the wolf taunted SHE'S DEAD AND IT'S ALL YOUR FALT.

"He" paid the wolf no mind. He picked up the gun in his hand, feeling all of Roda's love go into him. He smiled at the gun before taking a serious face, turning around to face the white beast, and putting the gun in his back pocket.

The great wolf went low to the ground growling, ready to ponce like a cat.

He looked at Roda's gun one more time.

He couldn't use kitsunetsume. That ablilty died with Roda. But it feeled him with strength
