A/N: A particular
issue has been brought to my attention, so I wish to inform you all that I am
basing this story on the manga, not the anime.�
Sorry this chapter is later than normal, I had some issues with the
fight scene and life kept getting in the way.�
Expect something similar for chapter 8.

And now, the
conclusion�

Never forget, all
Irish Gaelic will be underlined and translated at the end, thank you.

Soulless Knight
Chapter 7: Icy Death

General Takashi left behind twelve bat youkai to dispatch with the
miko�s friends. �He really didn�t care
how it got done, as long as they were not able to follow.� They had already knocked Kouga and his companion�s
unconscious, leaving only the two humans and the kitsune.
The boss smirked evilly as a rather devious thought struck him; he
then nodded to the men closest to the humans.�
One bat walked over and tore the taijiya from the monk�s arms while two
more bats held the monk and kitsune back.�
�Let go of her, demon.�� Miroku
yelled, struggling against his captor.
Sango tried to fight back against the bat that was dragging her
but it was no good, he was too strong.� When
they reached the chief, he whipped her around in front of him so she was facing
his boss and held her hands behind her back using an iron grip.
Almost as soon as she had arrived in front of him, he reached out,
with lightning speed, and grabbed a fistful of her hair.� He then roughly yanked on it, causing Sango
to have to tilt her head back and slightly to one side, exposing her throat.� Then he leaned forward and inhaled deeply,
traveling from the nape of her neck on up to her ear, letting out a low
possessive growl as he did so.
Sango growled softly in warning but he ignored it.� He chose, instead, to trail his free hand up
her arm, almost covetously.� As his hand
traveled past her elbow, he let his thumb brush against her breast.
She gasped then tried to pull away, but the effort was in vain for
she was held steadfast by the iron grip on her wrists and the grip on
hair. The demon grinned, opening his mouth-
"So, you gutless cowards
are fond of picking on defenseless women, are you?" a voice growled as the
bat was yanked away from Sango.� There
was a gasp from behind her as the other bat released her hands, leaving her
completely unrestrained.
She spun, watching in shock as
Glacialis lifted the bat into the air by the throat, eyes glowing with
fury. Lengthened claws were tearing into the exposed, fragile flesh while
the drakon's free hand lifted. He flexed his claws then plunged them into
the bat's chest. "So be it," he snarled, jerking out a lung.
The bat coughed blood, the
liquid spattering across Glacialis' face and throat. Glacialis plunged
his hand in again, ripping away the other lung before he dropped the demon and
spat on him, shaking with his fury.� "Hear
this; I will kill any who harm those under my protection. I promise you
won't like it."
Sango shook slightly as she
stared at the beast before her. �He was
no longer the kind, gentle demon she had gotten to know over the last couple of
days.� The aura that flared around him
was causing a chill in the air and forming icicles on the tree branches nearby.
�But that�s not what made her shake.� His eyes were glowing with such a brilliant
blue that you could no longer see the irises and his wings shimmered brightly,
like the many facets of a gem.� Along
with that, his teeth and claws were elongated beyond what she thought possible.
Glacialis turned his gaze from
the dying bat to the ones holding Miroku and Shippo.� As if coming out of a stupor, all the
remaining bats took defensive positions around their captives.
�Hn, looks like you all wish to
learn your lessons the hard way.��
Glacialis gave a feral grin and chuckled deep in his throat.� �Very well, I shall oblige.��
Sango gasped as she saw his
aura flair wildly, the chill in the air intensifying to almost sub-zero
levels.� When she realized that she would
be unable to reach Miroku, she dashed to the other side of the clearing where
Kouga and his companions lay unconscious.�
Shaking Hakkaku and Ginta awake, she yelled.� �Hurry, we�ve got to go, fast.�
She reached Kouga as he started
to sit up, �What the fuck is going on? Why the hell is it so cold?�� He looked around and caught sight of
Glacialis then scowled. �Bout time that coward showed back up,� He stood on
wobbly legs, managing to ignore the knots in his stomach.
�Do something Kouga,� Sango
pleaded.� �He�s gone into a rage.� If he�s not stopped he�s going to get himself
killed, there are too many of them.�
Kouga�s scowl deepened, �What
the fuck do I care?� If he had been here,
Kagome might not have been kidnapped.� I
say let the fucker get his ass handed to him. �I�m tired of his �mightier than thou�
attitude.�� He crossed his arms and stood
watching, waiting.
�No!�� Sango snapped at him, causing Kouga to flinch
slightly, but his gaze on Glacialis did not falter.� �It won�t happen like that, just look at
him.�
Ginta and Hakkaku were standing
just behind her, Ginta spoke up first.�
�What do you mean?�
Sango turned and looked at them.
�They could see the worry in her
eyes.� �He�s in a fury with his beast
clawing to get out.� Can�t you see
it?�� She turned back to look at
Glacialis, �If he starts to lose it in this state, his beast will break its
chains.� He will transform.� And if he does win, his beast will go after
us next.� It doesn�t know friend from
foe, it will kill until there is nothing left that will be perceived as a
threat.�
Hakkaku looked between
Glacialis and Sango, �How do you know all this, taijiya?� There haven�t been Drakon in these lands
since before my birth.�
Sango sighed, �Because, it was
the taijiya who wiped them out.�� She
bowed her head and averted her gaze.�
�There were considered a threat, even the ones who could rein in their
beast.� My grandfather was part of the
original extermination squad. �He told us
all the stories.� The only beings that
could ever best them were the inu and the kurohyou tribes.� It was decided
that the risk to human lives far outweighed the luck dragons were rumored to
bring.� So they were hunted like a common
beast and one by one, destroyed until none were left.�
�It
won�t come to that,� Kouga said.� Sango glanced
up to see him looking at her out of the corner of his eye.� �I�ll stop him before he harms an innocent. �It�s what Kagome would have wanted.�
Sango
nodded, �Miroku and Shippo are being held captive still and we need to get to
them before he slips completely.�
Kouga
nodded and turned his attention back to Glacialis, �I shall take care of that. �As soon as there is a break in the bats
defense, I shall run in and grab them both.�
Sango
let out a sigh of relief, �Arigato, Kouga-sama.�

Shippo clung to Miroku, unable to
stop shaking.� He watched as Sango was
dragged away then tried to hide his face when he saw what the bat was going to
do.� He was snapped out of it by a
terrifyingly strong aura suddenly appearing then watched in horror as Glacialis
tore the bats lungs out.� He admitted
that he had only known the Drakon for a couple of days, but he never struck him
as a malicious or blood thirsty monster.�
But that was now what he was seeing and it scared him beyond words.
Glacialis flexed his claws as
the bats closed in on him, circling like vultures.� They seemed to forget all about Miroku and
Shippo.�
Shippo was barely able to keep
a yelp from escaping his lips as he and Miroku were engulfed in a whirlwind and
swept to were the rest of their party was waiting.
�Oomph,� Shippo grunted as he
looked up to see Kouga, when he was dropped unceremoniously to the ground.� �Arigato, Kouga-sama.�� He rubbed his butt where it had hit the
ground.
�Hn,� Was Kouga�s answer as he
turned back to watch the ensuing battle.
Miroku was almost toppled over
by Sango.
�Thank Kami your both safe.�� Sango breathed in relief, sounding as if she
were going to cry.
Miroku coughed and took a deep
breath to replace the air she had just knocked out of him, �I am fine, and
would someone please clue me in as to what�s going on with Glacialis?�
Sango filled him in, making him
sigh.� He stood and grabbed his staff,
walking over to stand next to Kouga.�
They nodded at each other but continued to do nothing more then watch
the battle.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The battle took off at a
furious pace, making it hard for the human spectators to keep up.� First, three bats tried to attack alone. �He ripped each one to shreds without batting a
wing.� The first bat lost both his arms
and his wings. �After his spine was
broken, Glacialis just left him to writhe on the ground in pain.� The second got both his legs broke and trench-sized
gashes across his front before his heart was ripped out, ending his life.� By the third bat, Glacialis had gotten bored
with inventing new methods of inflicting pain.�
He just ripped his throat and heart out then reached behind him to rip
the heart from the paralyzed bat he fought first.
The eight remaining bats got
smarter. �They realized they could not
take him out one by one.� They circled as
one before leaping into the air and all attacking at once.� Glacialis was not prepared for this. �Without thinking though, he leaped into the
air to meet them all head on.� He was
thrown back to the ground, the wind knocked out of him, giving them the
advantage.
The bats scattered and came at
him from all directions, not giving him time to regain his footing.� Swooping diving and batting at his as if they
were a pack of regular bats protecting their cave.� If he did manage to stand, it was only for a
second before being thrown into a tree or onto the ground again.� It looked hopeless since there didn�t seem to
be any visible flaw in the bats tactics.
Then it happened� the moment
Sango had feared.� As Glacialis looked
about ready to collapse, his aura spiked slightly.� He was on his hands and knees, panting
heavily, blood dripping from just about everywhere.� The spike in his aura happened again, almost
like a thrum or heart beat� wing beats.�
A couple of the bats backed a few steps away. �But one was foolish enough to walk up and try
to kick him.
His foot happened to make
contact with Glacialis�s gut at the same time his aura spiked the third time. �He became a frozen block of ice.� Glacialis tilted his head back and let loose
a deafening roar, as if in pain and anger combined.� The resonance of it seemed to vibrate the
very air around him.� Those vibrations
became uncomfortable, then painful; they started to make the very air around
him accelerate, glow, engulfing his whole body in a blinding light.
All the bats fell back this time;
fear was etched on their faces.� As soon
as the light faded away, there stood a beast the likes of which no one had ever
seen in these lands before.
Glacialis�s beast surveyed the
area with his huge faceted eyes. �They whirled
with various hues of red, like a never ending inferno.� The beast was massive in size; at least 30
feet or longer.� His body was comprised
of millions of bright red scales, each the size of three dinner plates.� On top of the beast�s head were two spiraling
horns that looked to be made of diamonds and appeared to be razor sharp. His
foot and a half long claws looked to be the same, with four claws to a foot. �His mouth was full of razor sharp teeth of the
same as well.� The coloring of his scales
reflected in his crystalline claws, teeth and horns, making them look as if
they were on fire, the flames dancing as he moved.� A set of massive wings were folded upon the
beast's back that reached from the base of his tail to the base of his skull,
tipped with more of the same deadly crystal-like talons.� His large tail had four spikes, two on each
side. His aura seemed to pool around him, enveloping the area with terror and
dread.�
Kouga turned his head to look
at Sango in shock, only to find her already in her taijiya outfit and
Hiraikotsu at the ready.
�I can�t believe it�� He heard Ginta say behind him, followed by
Hakkaku saying in unison.� �It�s been him
all along.�
Everyone spun around to see
both wolves staring at Glacialis, mouths hanging open.� �What the fuck are you two talking
about?�� Kouga spat, crossing his arms.
Ginta and Hakkaku looked at one
another sheepishly, �Um� You see�� Ginta
started.
�We�ve met him before.�� Hakkaku blurted out.
Kouga sighed in frustration,
�That�s not news� we�ve all met him before.�
Miroku placed a hand on Kouga�s
shoulder, �I don�t think that�s what they meant, Kouga-sama.�
Ginta and Hakkaku glanced at
the ground, �We�ve seen him in this form before.�� They muttered at the same time.
�WHAT!!!�� Kouga bellowed, �WHY AM I JUST NOW HEARING
ABOUT THIS?
Ginta and Hakkaku slunk back
slightly, �Back at the cave�� Ginta
stammered out.
�When we went to get
water�� Hakkaku added.
�That l-little girl from
earlier and G-Glacialis in this form were there�� Ginta stuttered.
�We didn�t know it was
Glacialis though,� Hakkaku blurted out.
�No harm was done. �We didn�t see a point in mentioning it back
then.�� Ginta offered as an excuse.
�You had your mind on more
important things when we got back anyway� what with Kagome taking off into the
forest.� We didn�t want to add onto that
with nothing.�� Hakkaku finished.
�I can�t believe you two. I
thought you had more sense than that.��
Kouga glared at them both, �Why, I outta��
�Enough!�� Sango spat, �We have more pressing matters at
the moment.�
�I agree,� Miroku chimed
in.� �We can deal with this later.�
Kouga grumbled something
incoherent but turned back around to the battle before them.

Congratulations,
no Gaelic translations, bwahahahaha.
But
there is one Japanese translation:
Kurohyou = Panther (cause I couldn�t remember what they were
called; the cat demons Inuyasha�s father battled, and then Inuyasha and
Sesshoumaru battled them in that one episode)
See ya
next chapter, same bat time, same bat channel.�
(I know, bad pun at the expendable chars behalf, you�ll live.� :P)
