A/N: Hey guys, got a lot to do today and just felt like uploading a new chap. No omake today but there will be some more soon. This chap should hold you over til then. See ya laterz.

It had been a week since I had came back from the dead. I was laying in bed thinking the quest Shin had given us. I took the scroll of of my nightstand and opened it.

For the Servants of Death shall reunite,

The warring clans four in all,

And collect the stones from each Heir,

And Unite them too to defeat a god.

As I read it again it started to make sense. Me and amy: Deaths summoners, will reunite all the yokai clans, but to do that we must collect the stones from each heir. However there was still the the last line that confused me was the last line. Then there was the next part.

For the final fire and his mate's

One from now one from the past

One Full blood and one Half

Shall create the clan of the yokai.

Only the first and last one made sense this time. The final fire was me and the one from now was Amy. However who was the past. Got to give it to Shin this was a confusing scroll. Then there was the final part.

For when they stand against the foe

Eight in one all souls combine

To form the final weapon

That shall help them in the end.

As I layed on my bed thinking about this someone knocked on my door. I closed the scroll and got up to open the door. I already knew that Amy was coming over so I sighed as I opened the door. She stood at the door wearing jeans and a red shirt. Ever since we had sparred in the warehouse she had been asking me to spar with her again.

"Ryu-kun you'd know what make me happy" She said as she sat down on my bed.

"What us sparring again?" I asked already knowing the answer.

"Well yeah but theres something more important now."

I looked at her confused. She had been bugging me to spar with her for the past week now. For her to just blow it off would mean that this was important. I sat down beside her. "Yeah what is it."

"Well my mom noticed how I've been gone a lot and how I wasn't with any of my friends. So yesterday after I had came home from your house she asked me where I had been. I had to tell her the truth so I did and now she…" She trailed off looking scared. "S-she wants to meet you."

I thought about it for a while. If Amy was scared for me to meet her mom then there must be a reason. "Amy-chan why are you scared for me to meet your mom?" I asked in a concerning voice.

"Well I'm afraid she might say something to make you mad or that she won't like you."

"Amy-chan its ok I promise. I'm sure your mom will like me. I'll even bring Risa if that makes you feel better."

"Ok then." She looks up at me. "I hope you know what you're doing Ryu." She got up and stretched looking down at my bed. "Hey what's this?" She said pulling out a box from under my bed.

"Oh that" I said trying to think of an excuse. "Thats just some old stuff." I grabbed the box from her as she summoned her soul scythe.

"Ryu give me that box now" She got into an offensive stance. "I just wanna see what's on the inside.

"How about a bet then Amy-chan. A spar" I smiled knowing that she wouldn't pass this up. "If I win this box stays closed. If you win then you get to open it."

" Alright then" She smiled as I set the box back onto the bed.

"We'll go to the training ground out back because it heals wounds quickly."

"Fine" She said as she walked out of the room into the hallway. Risa was making lunch.

"Sochi-kun, Amy-chan lunch will be ready soon." She turned around seeing Amy-with her scythe. "Sochi-kun Amy-chan no weapons in the house. Take them outside please."

Amy and I then stepped out the back door while I turned on the training grounds healing magic. I thought about how well Kaa-san was with magic. It marveled me sometimes that she could do spells like this that lasted this long. A green and red flash flashed around the training ground.

"Ready to lose Amy-hime?"

"No but I'm ready to win Ryu-kun." She said as she got into offensive position with her scythe. I summoned my ender sword and soul edge and got into a defensive position with both swords crossed in front of my chest. Amy ran at me her scythe above her head. She tried to slice at me from above but I blocked with soul edge. I threw my ender sword into the air and it landed behind her.

She spun her scythe and tried to strike at me from the top right. I teleported behind her and she slammed her scythe into the ground. "Aww Ryu my scythe." She pulled the scythe out of the ground forcefully and threw the scythe into the air. She punched me in the face hard sending me back a few feet. I rubbed my cheek as she caught her scythe. Amy ran at me with her scythe as stood my ground and ran at her with both swords at my bottom right. We slashed at each other parrying our weapons. When they crossed there was an explosion. We were both sent back into the fences parallel to each other. We quickly regained balance and ran at each other again. I jumped into the air pushing as much energy into my feet as possible. I slashed downward at her as she slashed upward. Our weapons parried again and exploded again sending us backwards. I slammed into a tree while amy slammed her scythe into the ground to stop herself from flying.

"Well it looks like I won" She said as she walked over to me.

"Nope" I replied as I teleported behind her and put my soul edge around her neck.

"H-how?" She asked in a frenzy as I retreated some.

"Ender sword" I said as a trickle of blood ran down my arm. "You almost got me too."

"So I can't open the box" She said looking at me with puppy dog eyes.

"Nope." I said as I started to walk back into the house. Risa was standing on the porch watching our spar.

"Wow Ryu nice work with your ender sword, but remember the consequences of using it too much. As for you Amy you did well but you need to use strategies with a scythe, you can't just use brute force." She critiqued us as we nodded.

"Nice work if I must say myself" A mysterious voice said from atop the roof. We all looked up to see the shinigami sitting there.

"Shinigami-sama" Amy and I said as Risa looked up scared.

"What are you doing here Shinigami-sama" Risa said as she was still taken back at the sight of the death god.

"Well two things. One to congratulate Ryu on his win. Two I wanted to show Ryu and Amy something as well." He looked at me his multi colored eyes staring into my now sparkling red eyes. "Now as you may know most weapons have 2 different modes or forms: Human form and weapon form. However soul or death weapons have 3 forms: Human form weapon form and Uprising form. Weapon form is better for short range battling while uprising form is better for long range. However it requires a great amount of discipline and trust to use uprising."

"I understand Shin-sama but how do I do it." I said interested in this topic.

"Well first your weapon has to be in human form. It is a lot harder to use uprising from weapon form. Meiko-chan please come out" He said as the soul edge burst into light. The light stayed there for a few seconds then dimmed. When it dimmed there stood Meiko as I guessed her name was. She was about as tall as Risa-chan and had a similar body structure. She was wearing a light blue kimono as well. Her eyes were a sparkly blue and her hair was a light blue like the blade of soul edge. She did a slight bow in front of the Shinigami and I.

"Shinigami-sama Shikon-sama" She said as she stood up straight.

"Shikon?" I said confused throwing the question at the death god.

"It is your title in the land of the dead. Now as for uprising form, Move all of your energy into your hand and try to match your energy with hers."

I pushed all my energy into my right hand while I could tell Meiko chan was doing the same. Our energy fused into a ball as Meiko's form began to change. A bright light shone across the field as I realized I was holding something. I looked at it and and was amazed. It was shaped like a gun but was weirdly shaped around the barrel. The barrel was blue with stripes of gold on it. As I looked closer the barrel was actually a blade.

"This is the soul blade, It was used by the 2nd shinigami as his weapon for driving off evil souls. It can shoot in rapid succession or in large blasts over time. It also can be used as a short range weapon when you swing it. It won't do damage to peoples physical being but slowly runs down their energy."I looked at the blade and wondered how powerful this weapon could become. I looked at the blue sphere where the hammer would be. The shinigami saw me looking at this and added. "That sphere is the main reason I gave you this weapon, Inside of it is a place to keep all the elemental amulets. It allows you to power the weapon with different elemental blast, which in turn are more powerful than energy blasts which it shoots at this time."

I looked at it confused wondering if it could really be powered by elemental amulets. I thought about this for a while before Amy spoke up. "I know thats cool and all but does mine do the same thing?"

The shinigami sighed at her impatience. "Yes but you will have to master your energy first" He paused. "Which is why I'm sending you to a yokai school." When he made this announcement all three of us were surprised. "And you're not getting out of it because I'm freakin' death and I can do what I want." He laughed as he poofed into smoke and was no longer there.

"Ugh" I complained remembering my earlier years at a yokai school.

"Well Amy lets go explain this to your mom" I sighed wondering how all this would go.
