Me: HI!!

Takara and Ryuu: Hello!

Me: *bows to the floor* I am terribly sorry that I haven't written anything in a while, but I've got a good reason. One of my fingers is more or less broken, so I've only been able to use one of my hands to write! But, to make that up to you all, I'll make an awsome chappie... a LONG one!

Takara: Where's Yoshi?

Takara &Ryuu: ... your eyes are burning...

A metal leg, a double fight and a plan

With the guys

Inuyasha was walking back and forward in thier so-called "room". Inutashio was sitting next to Miroku and Sesshoumaru was just standing in a corner. Inuyasha slammed his fist on the door.

"Where the hell is she? Why isn't she here yet?" he roared. Sesshoumaru frowned.

"Relax Inuyasha. She'll be here any minute. You are impatient as always" he stated.

"Keh!" Inuyasha said and turned away.

"Boys don't argue" demanded Inutashio and Inuyasha sat down on the floor. Right then they heard someone outside the door before it opened. Valencia walked in with a young girl that was holding some stuff in her arms.

"Finally! What took you so damn long and who's the brat?" Inuyasha snarled as he rose to his feet and pointed at the girl. She frowned and glared at him.

"Who are you calling a brat, you stupid newbie? I am Tiffanie, the mechanical genious here. You should treat me with respect!"

Valencia shusshed her. Inuyasha was about to say something rude back, but Inutashio stopped him. Valencia looked at them with serious eyes.

"We have to get to work. If we don't, he won't make it..." Valencia said and walked over to Miroku. Tiffanie followed her and kneeled next to her.

"What do you need Vava-nee?" she asked.

"I need the herbs, my silver saw and the leg" Valencia answered. Tiffanie nodded and handed her the things.

Valencia chewed the herbs once and then massaged them into his leg. She waited for a few seconds and then reached for the saw.

"Can you please hold him? This won't hurt, but it will maybe feel strange so I don't know how he'll react" she said and the three inus nodded. Inutashio and Sesshoumaru held his arms while Inuyasha grabbed the other leg. She took a deep breath.

"Ready?"

They all nodded. Valencia put the saw on his leg and...

A few hours later

Everyone was exausted. Valencia cleaned the floor from the blood. Inuyasha looked at Miroku. He was pale and sweating but he breathed normally. But what Inuyasha really was looking at was his leg. It looked like a normal leg but in silver, and it looked unbreakable.

When Valencia was done she turned to them and gave them one small purse each.

"What's this wench?" asked Inuyasha and sniffed his purse.

"That is some herbs that'll work as antidote" Valencia said, walked over to the door and smiled.

"Antidote for what?" asked Inutashio when she opened it.

"You didn't know? You three are going to fight Mukotsu, the poisoner, tomorrow. Have a good night!" said Tiffanie. The three inus looked at eachother.

"A poisoner?"

"Yes, oh and Ginkotsu too! He's half machine. Be careful with them if you don't want to die!" Tiffanie said and waved before they left the room.

One day later

The arena was crowded with people. Only two persons had been able to make it this far before, but they had died in the process. Would these three new guys make it out? Bankotsu's voice echoed all over the arena.

"Welcome to today's fight between the newbies, Ginkotsu and Mukotsu!" The crowd cheered and Inuyasha, Inutashio and Sesshoumaru stepped out. The crowd cheered even more and then their opponents entered.(A.U: you guys all know what they look like, right? I don't feel like describing them XD...) Bankotsu's voice echoed again.

"Let the battle beeeeeegin!" and the crowd cheered again.

"Great... and we don't even know where our mates are or if they're okay or not!" growled Inuyasha and drew his sword. (yes, they had been given swords)

"No, we do not. But we will. After defeating those weaklings"said Sesshoumaru and did the same. Inutashio followed their example and drew his as well.

Mukotsu laughed.

"Don't bother using your swords gents. This will be over in a second..." he said and then opened a bottle that hung at his side while Ginkotsu aimed his huge canons at them. He shot but the three inus jumped away in different directions. Sesshoumaru went for Mukotsu while Inuyasha and Inutashio went for Ginkotsu.

Mukotsu laughed and threw balls of poison at Sesshoumaru.

"Hu hu hu huh! There's no escape from my poison! It'll melt you from the inside!"

"We'll see about that you wothless filth" said Sesshoumaru and darted forward. He was thankful for the antidote, even though he didn't show it. The human body was so fragile and he knew that he would have died if it weren't for Valencia and Tiffanie. Mukotsu started to sweat. Why didn't his opponent fall to to his knees coughing like he should? He backed away from the black-haired man and therw poison after poison at him, but nothing worked. When Sesshoumaru was about to cut him down he held his hands in front of his face in order to protect it. He sank to his knees.

"No no please sir! Don't kill me! I beg you!" he begged. Sesshoumaru's first thought was to ignore his request, but then he thought of what his mate would've done and hestiated. That's when Mukotsu saw his chance. He pulled out a hidden dagger and stabbed Sesshoumaru in the side. He groaned but ignored the pain and glared at Mukotsu. Now Mukotsu weren't as lucky as before. All of the pity that Sesshoumaru had felt were gone and he cut Mukotsu down without changing expression. With Mukotsu dead he darted to help his father and younger brother.

Inuyasha and Inutashio had a hard time fighting the cyborg.

"Damn this to hell! If I'd have had my Tessaiga,this would be a child's play!" growled Inuyasha while trying to cut through the hard joined them but nothing went better. They were becoming tired but the cyborg could fight forever. Inutashio turned to his sons.

"This is bad! We have to think of something and fast!" he yelled.

"We know that!" Inuyasha yelled back and jumped out of the way for a bullet. They continued to cut him over and over again, but nothing happened. Until it started to rain. Ginkotsu got slower and they managed to scratch the armor more. When a piece of it fell off, Inuyasha got an idea. He grabbed the piece and jumped up on Ginkotsu.

"What on earth are you doing son?!" roared Inutashio.

"Just trust me on this one, old man!" Inuyasha roared back. Since ginkotsu didn't have any arms, he couldn't do anything about Inuyasha so he went after the others. After few seconds Inuyasha jumped down again. He signed to the others to get away but Ginkotsu didn't see that. Ginkotsu aimed for Inuyasha and shot. But something went wrong. The canon became extremly hot and suddenly it exploded. Parts of him flew everywhere and they ducked.

The whole arena was quiet. No one said a word. Then they cheered again, louder than before. This was amazing! The new foreigners were amazingly strong! No one had ever made it this far before! 10 guards surrounded the three-some and escorted them to their "room". No matter how much they wanted to stay awake and try to brake out and flee, they were way too tired. As soon as they sat down on their beds, they all fell asleep.

With Kagome, Sango and Rinnea

They stood in a room with windows towards the arena so that they were able to see the battle. They had all been given dresses and been forced to wear them.

Kagome wore a green and white one with short sleeves, and ended at her ankles.

Sango wore a purple one without sleeves that ended about 2 inches under her knees.

Rinnea wore a fire-red one. It had long sleeves, was high around the neck and totally covered her legs. She had chosen that dress to cover her bruises and scratches that Suikotsu had given her during his "games".

They all stood and watched without saying anything to eachother at all, when the door to the room opened. It was Valencia. Rinnea turned around, ran over to her and hugged her.

"Oh Cheetah, I'm so glad that you're here!" she said and released Valencia who smiled at the nick-name.

"Of course Kitty, I would never abandon you nor the others and you know that"

Kagome and Sango looked at them, at eachother and then back to them again.

"Do you guys know eachother?" asked Kagome while they joined them at the window.

"Yes. Rinnea here is my younger sister. Nice to meet you two" Valencia said and smiled.

"N-nice to meet you too ehm... Cheetah?" Kagome asked carefully. The sisters giggeled together.

"No no, her name is Valencia. But her daimon is a cheetah, so i call her that. Everyone else call her Valencia or Vava-nee" explained Rinnea. They all sat down on some chairs.

"Ehm, Valencia. Do you know why there's a shield around this island that's turning everyone that comes near it to humans?" asked Sango and Valencia nodded.

"Yes I do. I can tell you all about it if you like" Valencia offered and they nodded.

"Well, three years ago, this was a peaceful island. Hidden and secret and therefore safe from wars from the outside. I moved here ten years ago. I fell in love with the king and he fell in love with me. We married and everything was fine, until they came. One day a black ship approached the island and we, of course, got surious. We got closer, but when it made it t the dock some men jumped out off it, killed my husband, my child and my friends that were with them. I wasn't. I was helping the servants when they blew up the gate to our home, this arena" she said and they all gasped.

"It was once a beautiful castle, but they turned it into an arena. Since I was helping the servants they thought that I was one and hired me. When they saw my medicinal talents, they promoted me to the doctor of the island. But the seven men weren't as brave as they looked. Every man has at least one fear, and these feared death. That's quite normal but they did it so much that they put up a barrier around this island that'd turn anything un-human into a human. Humans are easier to kill without getting hurt you see, and since they're finding joy in killing, then they have no reason not to put this barrier up"

"But that's terrible!" said Kagome and the others agreed.

"You said that your child got killed. You had a child?" asked Rinnea and Valencia smiled sadly.

"Yes, a beautiful boy named Sadamu. He was only five at the time"

"We're sorry..." said Sango but valencia smiled.

"Don't be. There's nothing to do about it now. But that's why I'm not afraid of death. If I die, then at least I'll meat them again"

They all looked at eachother.

"Cheetah..." whispered Rinnea sadly.

"I said don't worry. How are your wounds by the way?" she asked, suddenly very concerned. Rinnea blushed when Sango and Kagome looked at her.

"What wounds?" asked Kagome.

"N-no. It's nothing really..." said Rinnea but they didn't buy it. They pulled up her sleeves and gasped when they saw how she looked.

"What did he do to you Rin?" asked Sango.

"H-he..." Rinnea started but then she started to cry.

"He raped me!"

Kagome and Sango was shocked. They didn't know what to do. They hugged her.

"That bastard! I am going to kill him!" growled Kagome.

"What is Sesshoumaru-sama gonna say?" sobbed Rinnea.

"I don't dare to imagine him..." said Sango and shivered.

After a moment of silence Kagome rose to her feet.

"We've got to get outta here"

The others looked at her.

"Yeah but how?" asked Sango.

"I've got an idea. Vava-san. You know where the source of the barrier is, right?" she asked and Valencia nodded.

"Good. Then, when the next battle begins, you'll take our families to that room to turn it off. When that's done our mates're gonna get their powers back and then we can get out of here!"

Valencia nodded.

"That can maybe work. The only thing is that your mates have to stay alive during the next game. If all of them are allowed to battle that is..."

"What do you mean Cheetah?"

"Well, the next opponent is Jakotsu and he gets to choose his opponents. He's sure to choose his favorite and you don't want to know what he does with them"

"B-but his favorite is..." whispered Kagome.

"Inuyasha"
