Sorry about the wait blah blah blah, just hope you like this final chapter cuz it's a good one, to me at least. There may be a sequel, but I need a few pointers and more time to work on my other stories.

Enjoy & leave a good review for me .

Fire fighters and ambulances were driving all over the city due to a huge car crash; a drunk driving a red truck crashed into the side of a large white bus and made it topple over on its side. People were injured but not majorly until the bus driver pointed out the engine's oil & gasoline tank were leaking and could blow up; luckily everyone got out safely before it did.

"Get the paramedics! There's some kids on the sidewalk!" a woman holding her young son pulled some firefighters and medics over to where Gena, Zeke, Roy, and Alexis were all injured and unconscious on the sidewalk just ten feet away from the bus.

"Were they on the bus?"

"I don't know, I was walking by and they were there. The girl and that boy in the red and blue shirts look the worst." She was pointing to Gena and Zeke, both had nasty head wounds and burns like the others but Gena's leg was broken in two places and Zeke's body was burned worse.

"Get these kids to a hospital, contact their parents!" all four teens were on stretchers and into the ambulances in no time. All the kids seemed stable, but Zeke's body temperature was flying high slowly.

4 days later:

All four teens were seated in a big hospital room, each with an IV tube, heart monitor, and several other devices everywhere. All were expected to make a full recovery, but according to the doctors they were all in a temporary coma.

"Any improvement on their health?" a man wearing an expensive navy blue suit with gray hair and a short white beard asked the nurse changing the packets.

"They'll make a great recovery, but Dr. Young isn't sure when they'll awaken yet. Could be a while…" just as she finished the last tube a moan caught the man's ear. He looked over at Alexis's bed and she stirred before opening her eyes. Roy stirred too, but Gena and Zeke didn't move yet.

"W-Where are we?" Alexis mumbled.

"You're in the hospital young lady; you and your friends were in a bus accident four days ago." The nurse answered checking Alexis's pulse.

"Four days ago? How can that…" Roy looked over to see the older man smiling and nodding. "Shoku?"

"Yes Roy, I'm glad to see you're alright. You too Alexis."

"Thanks Shoku."

"Oh so you do know the kids after all, I was beginning to think you made up that story about being their teacher." The nurse laughed and soon Gena stirred just as she walked out.

"Welcome back Gena, how do you feel?"

"Exhausted…where are we?"

"In the hospital, apparently we were in a bus accident and Shoku here is our teacher from school." Alexis and Roy explained and Gena looked over at Zeke and gasped at his bandaged body.

"Shoku what happened? How did we get back here?"

"I brought you here just before the castle collapsed…if I'd waited a few seconds later it would've been too late. There really was a bus accident but I put you all near it just so they would've thought you were involved." The three looked at each other and Roy gasped.

"What happened to Shinkaiyomaru?"

"Don't worry, he's gone. I made sure of it, that blast of all your energies incinerated his body taking away any signs of him returning in the future."

"What about Kagome and the others?" Gena asked looking over at Zeke.

"They stayed behind to help rebuild the villages; they'll be there a good while."

Everyone gave off a long sigh, but soon gasped when they saw Zeke's hand turning from human to a demon clawed hand, Honjou's hand. His body looked flushed completely, and despite her broken leg Gena went over to his side and held his hand but pulled back.

"He's so hot, it's like he's on fire!"

"Shoku what's happening to him?" Alexis and Roy asked frantic.

"He's having an inner battle with Honjou. They're fighting over possession of the body…"

"But Zeke took control just before he killed Shinkaiyomaru, how can Honjou still be around?"

"Zeke didn't get complete control, only enough just to kill that dragon. After I brought you all here Honjou somehow got free again and started battling inside Zeke. It's been like this for a while now…"

"But how is Zeke has an inner demon and the rest of us don't?"

"It's because Zeke has more demon blood in him than the rest of you. You are all reincarnated from the Shikon Warriors but you didn't inherit as much power from them as Zeke did, it's possible Zeke's had an earlier ancestor just before all of you were born."

"I thought the warriors were our ancestors."

"Technically but not officially; you see Honjou somehow had a child just before he was killed and sometime later generations of strong humans were born up until now. Zeke is the strongest out of all of you because of his heritage."

"Makes perfect sense…"

"Yeah, but what'll happen if Honjou takes over the body?"

"Then we'll have to kill him and Zeke." Gena's eyes widened and she looked at Zeke's deforming body.

"No! Shoku isn't there another way?"

"I'm afraid not, if Zeke can't break through on his own we'll have no choice. If he can we're alright…"

"But Honjou's the one winning! How can we get through to Zeke?" Roy thought for a minute before getting out of his bed in a hurry and took Zeke's other side.

"Gena I'm going to use my telepath to get into Zeke's head, I want you to try talking to him. Maybe we can get through and help win this battle."

"Roy I don't think…"

"Come on Gena you won it last time remember? Just try….and make it quick." Gena nodded and Roy quickly cracked a way into Zeke's mind while Gena's soul followed through.

Inside Zeke's mind:

"You bastard!" Zeke and Honjou had been fighting ever since the castle collapsed on top the warriors. After Zeke and the others had beaten Shinkaiyomaru Honjou somehow got loose again and tried taking control over Zeke's body. Fortunately Zeke managed to stop and challenge him in deciding who the master of fire is really.

"Keep on coming little boy, you can't defeat me on your own."

"I can try! No way am I letting you have MY body!"

Zeke was falling quick as Honjou's power begun to surpass his will and taking over. He had managed to buy some time but it wasn't working well enough. Zeke was instantly pinned down with Honjou holding his fireball over him about to strike when a light hit the room.

"Zeke! Are you here?" it was Gena's voice.

"Gena? What're you doing get out of here!" Gena looked at Honjou and quickly put up a force field to hold him.

"Zeke you have to defeat him, if you don't our world will be in jeopardy and the past too! You have to stop holding back now!"

"I can't do it Gena he's too strong! I've tried everything you have to help me!"

"I can't Zeke you have to do it. In this hollow world you call your mind only your powers can put him back inside the hole he came from. If you don't we're all doomed…"

"How am I supposed to finish him I've already used every trick I know?"

"Just think of something and do it quick cuz he's about to break through!" Gena spoke a little too late because the barrier broke fast and Zeke was suddenly pinned down by Honjou's giant left foot. Honjou kept him pinned and pulled out his fire sword getting ready to strike. Gena reacted quick and screamed at him but nothing happened.

"Zeke get up don't let him kill you!"

"I-I can't…." he was struggling but it like trying to lift a thousand anvils off a mouse.

"Zeke I love you! I love you ya big jackass now come on and kill this wimp!" as if something struck Zeke hard in the chest his strength suddenly increased and Honjou was thrown across the room. Zeke went up and pulled out a sword and stabbed Honjou in the stomach keeping him pinned long enough to help Gena escape through the portal out of Zeke's mind.

Back in the hospital room:

Gena fell back onto her ass just when Roy's power quit and they all thrown. Zeke's body was beginning to turn back to normal but some parts faded slowly.

"Did you do it?" Alexis asked helping Gena to her feet.

"Yeah, last thing I saw was Zeke kicking Honjou's demonic ass."

"Well it sure looks like he's winning cuz he's looking human again. Shoku are you going to seal Honjou away soon?"

"As soon as Zeke's body turns human again I'll get right to it."

"Hey what happened to our parents and families?" Roy asked lying back on his bed.

"They're already here but I told them I needed to speak to you first."

"Well let's hope this ends quick cuz I can sense some tension in the waiting room."

"We're in a hospital there's nothing but tension and morphine here." They all laughed and as Zeke's body finished its transformation Shoku started mumbling some spells and a small light appeared in Zeke's belly. When he didn't wake up Gena walked over and looked at his face all worried and scared she didn't get to him in time.

"Zeke, Zeke can you hear me?" he didn't answer or even stir; Gena was about to speak again when his hand found its way to her arm and pulled. His eyes widened and he sat up holding his chest breathing heavily.

"Thank goodness…now hold still Zeke…" Shoku put a hand on Zeke's back and a small amount of green energy went through him and a small star tattoo appeared on his belly. "That should do it….no more Honjou rage…"

"Thanks Shoku, hey what happened to… Gena why the hell are you standing up with a cast and no crutches on?" Gena looked down and quickly scrambled over to her bed. She put her leg up on the supports and laid back like she'd just gotten up.

"Sorry guys I forgot we're supposed to be acting as bus crash victims. And about my healing powers…" Shoku laughed with the others and Gena blushed.

"Don't worry kids, you should all be fully healed by tonight. I switched around the medical exams so there won't be any suspicions. Gena's leg will be a minor sprain, Zeke's body will be just a few bruises, Alexis and Roy just a few scratches, and everyone will act as if nothing's happened in the last few days."

"What about our families?" Alexis asked. Shoku just smiled and right on cue people rushed in and all four teens were either embraced or slapped upside the head.

"You had us worried kids! When they said you were in a bus accident we almost had a heap of heart attacks." Alexis's parents were hugging and kissing her to death while Gena's brother squeezed her waist and her mother her neck. Roy's family did the same but nearly suffocated him with hugs, and Zeke's grandma gave him a small hug but a whack upside the head.

"What the hell were you kids thinking walking on that sidewalk so close to the highway?" she screeched.

"Relax grandma the doc says we'll all be fine. Just need to take it easy for a few days…"

"Even so, what were you kids doing on the other side of town? You said you were going to the mall and we thought you meant the one near us…" all four teens looked confused and shocked for a minute.

"Don't you remember mom? We had to go and stop Shinkaiyomaru from destroying our homes, we had to go back to the feudal era and then we…"

"Whoa Alexis honey, what're you talking about?"

"You don't remember the prophecy? The one that involved us saving the whole human race?"

"What prophecy?"

"Come on mom, dad you told us we had to go off and save all mankind from the demon Shinkaiyomaru?"

"I have no idea what you're talking about."

"How hard did you hit your heads dear?" Gena's mom asked looking over all the teens heads wrapped in bandages. All of them looked at Shoku and he just smiled pointing to his temple. Just then Dr. Young came in with a clipboard and smiled.

"My goodness you four gave us quite a scare, we were almost afraid you wouldn't wake up. How do you feel?"

"Like we've been hit by a bus sir…when can we go home?" Zeke asked groaning at the pain in his chest.

"Well we'd like to run some tests and keep you here over night, if everything checks out fine you'll be free to go in the morning. I'm going to send some nurses in a few minutes to give you your medications." He bowed and left the room. Gena's mom turned and hugged her again and pried Saito off her waist.

"We're going to head home and get ready for dinner, oh and by the way kids your school called and said it's closed until next year due to a weird earthquake causing half the school to collapse. It's closed until the destruction is repaired, you'll get a call to fix your schedules in a month they said." All teens giggled a bit and the parents left but Shoku stayed behind.

"Well kids it's been a blast with all of you, but I'm afraid I have to return to the feudal era."

"Why? Can't you stay with us?"

"Oh don't worry Roy I'll come to visit, it's just I don't exactly fit in here in your era. But I guarantee sometime in the future all of you will come back to the feudal era with me; can't say how long it will be but it could be a while."

"But what about all the portals?"

"Closed up, I sealed them off while you were sleeping."

"And you erased our families memories to keep them from worrying?"

"Yes."

"And our powers, will we be able to keep them?"

"Only part of them Alexis, just be sure you don't overexert yourselves otherwise there will be problems in the future." The teens went silent and sighed before Gena turned to Shoku.

"We'll see you again right?"

"Yes indeed, and relax now kids I know you'll miss me, Kagome and the others, but you'll see them again someday. Take care of yourselves, and be happy. Until next time…" with that said Shoku started fading though it looked like he had tears in his eyes as he disappeared. The teens noticed this and each one had tears forming but dared not let them spill. Zeke wiped his eyes and looked at his saddened friends.

"Don't feel bad guys, maybe we will see him again."

"Yeah but Zeke our lives aren't going to be the way they used to…only we know what really happened back there, and our powers are still intact so what do we do now?"

"I-I…I don't know Gena…I guess we just continue on with life, we're all fifteen, young and restless so maybe we should move on until later."

"How much later?" all four took a moment to think and each came up with the same idea.

"Five years from now, when we're all out of college and grown up even if we're still friends and keep contact let's all meet up somewhere and see how our lives go. After that we can try and contact Shoku and return to the feudal era for a bit then come back here. How's that sound?" Zeke asked and everyone answered with a 'YEAH'!

"You think we'll remember all this five years later?" Alexis asked looking at Roy.

"Not a chance." They all laughed and laid back as the doctors and nurses swarmed in taking more tests on the excited teenagers. Oh what would life throw at them in five years? They were all determined to watch and learn as the time went by.

Hey guys epilogue's coming next then it's all over for these warriors. Might have a sequel come up later but I'm gonna work some more on my twilight and harry potter stories first before it comes. See y'all next time.
