Onmyou Taisenki 2: New Generation

By

White Hunter

Truth reviled, A team is formed!

Samantha was walking down the sidewalk towards the park. Kida had arranged a meeting for the group. White Hunter walked beside Samantha in her ghost form as she looked at city around her.

"This place sure has changed after so many years." She said as he tail swished back and forth behind her.

"What was it like in the Japan era?" asked Samantha as she looked over at her Shikigami.

"Well let's see." White Hunter said as she scratched behind her left wolf ear. "There were a lot of forests, a few emperors ruled over some villages. As for me, I was past down from a few family generations that served one emperor that wanted power, so I was always put into a blood lust family."

"I'm sorry." Samantha said with a sad look on her face.

"What do you have to be sorry about?" asked White Hunter with a confused look on her face as she looked at the human girl beside her. "It wasn't like you were there or anything. I don't know why people have to be sorry about someone else's problems?"

"I'm just sorry that you had a ruff life back then." Samantha said with a sad smile on her face.

Even though Samantha couldn't feel it, White Hunter had put her right claw hand on her shoulder. White Hunter had never had a Toujinshi like Samantha to talk to, and for some reason, she liked talking to Samantha. Samantha and White Hunter soon came to the park. White Hunter quickly disappeared back into her Drive after she saw Kida and Kogenta.

"Kida, Kogenta!" shouted Samantha as she ran over to them.

Kida looked over and saw Samantha running towards her. She smiled as she saw her friend.

"Hey Samantha" Kida said as Samantha finally reached them. "You got here just in time, unlike the others."

"Yeah, I wonder what's keeping them."

"Daisuke probably got into trouble again." Kida said with a smile on her face.

"I wonder what kind of trouble he had before this?" White Hunter voiced out loud from within the Drive.

"He played a trick on his sister." Kogenta answered when he heard White Hunter.

"What kind of trick?" asked White Hunter with interest. "What did he do?"

"He told us that he had put a rubber snake in his sister's draw." Kida said with a giggle. "And Kate had put a cold bucket of water on top Tabitha's bedroom door, and then they silly stringed her room while she was a sleep."

"Now that's a big joke they played on Tabitha." White Hunter said as she appeared on top of Samantha's head. "What happened next?"

"Tabitha made Kate and Daisuke clean up her room." Kogenta said with a smirk on his face.

"I see." White Hunter said with a smile on her face.

"We haven't properly introduced each other." Kida said as she smiled at White Hunter. "I'm Kida Tachibana and this is Kogenta of the Byakko."

"Nice to meet you guy's" White Hunter said with a smile.

"So I have a question for you Hunter." Kogenta said as he looked at the half breed. "Why were you sealed in that rock for so long?"

White Hunter flinched at Kogenta's question, and soon her ears dropped down to the sides of her head.

"Um…well…" she started but was interrupted as her ears twitched at the sound of someone running towards them.

White Hunter quickly hid back into her Drive as Daisuke and the others came up to them. Samantha shrugged her shoulders at Kida and Kogenta.

"Hey guys!" Rose called as she came up to Kida and Samantha. "Sorry we're late for you see Daisuke here just couldn't look away from his mirror."

"And our mom just couldn't stop fussing over us." Mike put in as he came up to his sister's side.

"I'm just glad that everyone is here, all except Cody and Kai." Kida said as she looked over at the group in front of her.

"They said that they'll catch up with us." Kate said as she scratched the side of her head.

Just then two shoji doors appeared behind Kida and Samantha. They turned to see them open with Kai and Cody inside of them.

"You're late." Kate said with her arms crossed over her chest.

"Sorry" Kai said as he jumped out of the shoji as it disappeared behind him.

Cody also jumped out of his shoji as it disappeared behind him as well.

"Now we can start this meeting." Cody said with a smile.

"Not quit." Kida said with a smile of her own. "First we have to find a hiding spot that can hide us."

"Oh right, the Shikigami." Cody said with a laugh as he lightly bonked the side of his head.

Soon the others found a good place where they can hide. Kai, Kida, Daisuke, Cody, and Samantha soon summoned their Shikigami. Satoshi looked over at White Hunter with a glare when he saw that she had been summoned to this meeting.

"Why did you summon her out?" he asked with a growl without turning his gaze to Samantha.

"Well she is part of this group now." Samantha said with a nerves smile on her face.

"That's not the problem here!" growled Satoshi in anger as he looked over at Samantha.

"Hey! Don't shout at my Toujinshi like that!" shouted White Hunter as she glared at Satoshi.

"Why shouldn't I?" questioned Satoshi as he glared back at White Hunter. "For all we know you might have turned her into a power hunger Toujinshi!"

"What Kai said was a complete lie!" shouted White Hunter as her tail started to spike up. "He might have read some ancient documents that mentioned me, but that doesn't prove any thing!"

"Yeah right!" Satoshi shot right back. "For all we know you could be lying!"

Before the two could have a brawl with one another Kogenta and Rangetsu quickly intervened. Kogenta grabbed White Hunter's arm and dragged her away from Satoshi, while Rangetsu pushed against Satoshi's shoulders. The White Hunter and Satoshi glared fiercely at each other as they beard their fangs in anger.

"Yamero yo!" shouted Samantha in a loud voice.

Everyone was surprised by Samantha's voice that they all turned to her. White Hunter saw that her Toujinshi didn't like her friends fighting, and soon calmed down.

"Gomennasai." She said as her tail dropped down to the ground.

Without warning White Hunter jumped up into the trees. Kogenta looked over at Kida with a confused, yet worried look. Kida had a worried look also then looked over at Samantha. She had a sad look in her eyes.

"Oh well done Satoshi." Kibachiyo said as he glared at the lion Shikigami. "You two just had to go into a fight and get everyone upset didn't you?!"

"Hey! Don't blame me! It was the half breed's fault that we started it!" shouted Satoshi as he glared at the blue dragon.

"Would you both stop it!" shouted Cody as he got between the two Shikigami. "It's not going to help the matters if everyone just keeps arguing all the time."

"He's right." Kida said as she stood up. "Besides, maybe we should give White Hunter a chance to explain to us what really happened a long time ago."

"Who knows?" Kai said as he walked up to them. "Maybe the ancient documents were wrong, so let's hear her side of the story."

Samantha looked up into the trees then shouted out her Shikigami's name. "White Hunter please come down, we really want to hear you're side of the story."

White Hunter was lying on one of the trees tick branches. Her ears twitched at Samantha's voice, and she looked down at the group below.

"I'll come down if that lion boy keeps his mouth shut, and apologizes to Samantha and me!" she shouted from her spot on the tree branch.

"What?!" shouted Satoshi in a confused voice. "Do you really think I would do that?"

"You might as well swallow you pride buddy." Daisuke said with a shrug. "Or else we'll never know what had really happened a thousand years ago."

Satoshi looked down at his Toujinshi then sighs in defeat. "I'm sorry for shouting out at you and Samantha, there are you happy?"

White Hunter jumped down from the branch and on the ground. "Not quit, but I'll accept it none the less." She said as she put her hands on her hips. "And since you guys want to know what happened to me a thousand years ago, I'll tell you."

Soon everyone was sitting on the ground in a circle. Kogenta, Rangetsu, Kibachiyo, and Satoshi were sitting by their respective Toujinshi's sides. White Hunter was sitting with Samantha by her side.

"It all started long ago." White Hunter said as she started telling everyone her story. "I was born in the beginning of August, somehow I winded up like what I am today. I didn't know what was going on around me, for I was never summoned forth by any Toujinshi. But that soon changed for when I was called forth I was put under a contract to make the Toujinshi that I'm with stronger. I fought many battles but they weren't the battles that you guys fought.

"No, I never fought with another Shikigami, I fought in man wars."

"What!?" shouted everyone in the group at what they just heard from White Hunter.

"I know it isn't right for a Shikigami to fight in a man's war. But the Toujinshi that I had made a contract with was a warrior that servers under the emperor. Many wars were inflicted on his empire, and I was the only Shikigami that fought in the war of man. A few other Shikigami fought in the war with me, but once they finished their Toujinshi's bidding they disappear. As for me I only got passed down generation, after generation of blood thirsty Toujinshi. But that soon ended when another Toujinshi came and sealed me away. My contract with my previous Toujinshi was instantly cut. I never went to Naraku for I was imprisoned for a thousand years, and I was glad I was."

No one talked for a while as they let White Hunter's story sink into them. White Hunter was silent as well for she knew what would be coming, anger, and hatred. Kogenta was the first one to move as he stood up, and walked over to White Hunter.

White Hunter waited for Kogenta's angry blow but it didn't come. Instead Kogenta simply knelt down and placed his left claw hand on top of her head. White Hunter looked up at the Byakko with a confused look on her face.

"What you did wasn't as bad as I did a long time ago." He said with a sad look on his face.

He then walked up to Kida with a serious look on his face.

"I need to talk to you for a moment Kida." He said and walked away from the others.

Kida stood up and followed her Shikigami into the underbrush. The others were confused as they looked at one another.

Kida and Kogenta soon came to a small clearing where they can be alone. Kida stood behind Kogenta with a look of worry on her face.

"Kogenta…" She started but soon stopped as he turned to face her with the same serious look on his face. But she also saw a look of sadness on his face. "What's wrong Kogenta?"

"Kida…there's something I have to tell you." He said as he looked at Kida straight in the eyes. "Something that I've been meaning to tell you for a while now, and after I do you might hate me."

"Kogenta, what are you saying?" asked Kida with a worried look on her face.

"Kida" Kogenta said as he looked down at the ground. "Your father was never born in this time line. He had actually come from the past 1000 years ago."

Kida looked at Kogenta with a confused look on her face. Kogenta then turnned away from her again.

"And do you know why he came to this time?" he asked as he clenched his fists.

"No." Kida said with a shake of her head "For he never really told me about his life as a Toujinshi or his life in the past for that matter."

"Your father, Riku, was sent to this time line by his mother, your grandmother. He was sent to the future because of what I did."

"What do you mean?" asked Kida as she took a step back in fear.

"I…was the cause for Riku's pain!" Kogenta said as he shut his eyes tightly.

Kida gaspped as she took another step back. Kogenta, the Shikigami that was her father's friend, had attacked her father and his family along time ago.

"But…why?" she asked as she feared Kogenta's answer.

Was it because he was a blood thirsty tiger that only had the pleaser of killing?

"It was because I hadn't any choice." Kogenta said as he turnned to look at Kida once again.

Kida was surprised to see Kogenta's red eyes full with sadness.

"It was because of Raihou, Riku's uncle, had changed me into my Giant God form that I had attacked Riku and his parents." He said as he looked down at the ground. "I didn't know I had attacked Riku and his parents. Because when a Shikigami is changed into his Giant God form, he doesn't remember what he did. I found out later after another Toujinshi, a Jin-ryuu, had told us the truth.

"You have every right to hate me Kida, but I just want you to know…that I had regretted what I did along time ago. And I'm sorry that I didn't tell you sooner."

Kida didn't know what to say for here, standing before her, was the tiger that attacked her dad and his family. But she saw just how sad he was. Slowly Kida walked up to Kogenta and touched the side of his face.

Kogenta was taken by surprise as he felt the soft touch of Kida's hand. He looked up at Kida and saw the same sad look in her eyes.

"Kogenta…it wasn't your fault." Kida said as she looked straight into Kogenta's ruby red eyes. "As you said 'you had no choice'."

Kogenta was surprised to hear those words come up from Kida's mouth. Kida slowly leaned her head against the tiger's armored chest with her head tucked under Kogenta's chin. Kogenta soon wrapped his arms around his Toujinshi and held her close. A small smile came onto his face.

"I guess it's true what people say." He said as he softly rested his head on top of Kida's. "Like father like daughter."

The two of them pulled away from each other and lightly touched their noses together. Kida didn't care what Kogenta had told her, she just wanted him to stay with her. They two of them soon walked back with Kida's small hand in Kogenta's large paw hand.

When they came back they saw White Hunter stand up quickly with a look of surprise on her face.

"You've got to be kidding me!?" she shouted as she looked strait at Kai.

The older Ten-ryuu Toujinshi shook his head no at White Hunter. "I have also read some ancient documents that said about and ancient prophecy that there are twelve ancient stones that are hidden deep within the Fukumaden. And prophecy states that if all twelve of them are broken, then a disaster will befall the world. But the prophecy also tells that if the stones are within the hands of a pure hearted person, then a miracle will occur."

"Then we have to find them." White Hunter said as she balls her right hand into a fist. "If the Chi-ryuu do then it will mean the end of the world as we know it."

"You've got to be kidding me." Mike said with a flat pan look on his face. "The Fukumaden is a big place, as Kai had once told us, so it will be hopeless to find those twelve stones."

"I just can't stand by and let that Tailor guy distroy them or get their hands on them just for the sake of power!" shouted White Hunter as she looked down at Mike. "And if you guys don't want to help me then I'll just have to find them myself."

"Me too" Samantha said as she stood up at White Hunter's side.

"You sure?" asked White Hunter with a worried look on her face. "You know it's going to be dangerous."

"I know, but I want to help you." Samantha said as she stared into White Hunter's eyes.

"If Samantha's going then I'm going too." Rose said as she stood up. "Even though I haven't known you guys for very long I'm willing to help out as much as I can."

"Wherever my sister goes I go too." Mike said as he jumped up from the ground with his chest puffed out.

"I'm going along as well." Kida said as she and Kogenta step up to the group. "Even though I'm only the team captain on the basketball team, I still have to make sure that my team mates won't get hurt. And that we work together as a team."

"You said it Kida" Kogenta said with a smirk. "Perfect."

"There's no way I'm letting my brother get his hands on those twelve sacrad stones, I would stand by and let him do it." Cody said as he stood up quickly with his fists clenched.

"Yeah" Rangetsu said with a smirk of pride on his face.

"You all can count on us for we'll help out whenever we can." Kai said as he a Kibachiyo stood up.

"I'll always help you Kida no matter what." Kate said as she stood up and walked over to her friend's side.

"Even though I'm not a Toujinshi I'll help out as much as I can as well." Ryan said with a smile on his face.

White Hunter looked at Kida, then at the group with a smile. "Everyone…thank you."

"I'll help out to." Satoshi said as he stood up with his eyes closed. "But don't let that think we're friends, got that half breed?"

"That's fine with me." White Hunter said with a smirk on her face.

"If you're all going then I'm coming along for the ride." Daisuke said with a shrug of his shoulders.

So it was agreed in the group. They will do what ever it takes to stop Tailor and his gang from getting there hands on the other twelve sacred stones of the Fukumaden.
