Here's Chapter 26! I really can't believe I've done 26 chapters. Anyway... after what's happened in the resent previous chapters, I'll guess you want to get to reading so I'll make this quick... starting with the Disclaimer...
Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon OR Inuyasha.
Now get to reading!
Kouichi
With the little strength I had left, after Koji left me on the ground barley conscious, I stood up and leaned against a nearby tree.
"Man! What's got into you Koji?!" I asked myself out loud.
"Gah! That Spider-Demon is always where I DON'T want him!" A nearby voice growled. One that I recognized immediately.
"Inuyasha?" I called to the voice cautiously.
"Huh?" asked the voice as I saw the bushes in front of me move, before I saw the silver-haired, dog-eared, half-demon, Inuyasha, emerge from them. "Kouichi? What are you doing?"
"Standing in pain after my Twin attacked me and took my Warrior Spirits," I explained to the half-demon.
"So they WERE right." Inuyasha grumbled under his breath but I could still hear him.
"Who were right?" I asked.
"It's none of your business!" he growled, before his ears twitched and he drew his sword Tetsusaiga, I think is what he calls it, and pointed it at me. "Kouichi, don't move!"
I gulped, "Um...Why?"
"I need to attack something," he replied, as the sword turned into a bigger version of itself. Inuyasha leaped into the air yelling, "Get away from here you annoying Digimon! Or I'll make you! 'Wind Scar'!"
For a second, I thought Inuyasha was going to attack me. But then, the attack went over me and hit something behind me, causing whatever Digimon it was to scream. I presume, it turned into a stream of data before disappearing.
"That'll teach it," Inuyasha said smugly, as he landed on the ground.
"How did you know there was a Digimon behind me?" I asked.
"Some of the Digimon here have the same instincts as Demons back in the Feudal Era," Inuyasha explained.
"Then, why didn't you just let it attack me?" I asked.
"You said you didn't have your Warrior Spirit, right?" Inuyasha asked, to which I nodded. "Then, you couldn't defend yourself, and I didn't want you tell the others you were destroyed by a Digimon. Kagome would be furious, and yell at me for not saving you. And I'll never get the pain out of my back if she ordered me to 'Sit' a lot because of that."
"Oh," I replied, slightly chuckling at the thought of Kagome ordering Inuyasha to 'Sit' a lot.
"Don't make me REGRET saving you!" Inuyasha growled, before turning around and walking away.
"Hey! Where are you going?" I asked, slowly following him.
"I'm going to find Lucemon,and Naraku, and destroy them on my own," the half-demon replied, still walking.
"You can't," I told him.
"Look, I know you and the other Digidestined couldn't destroy Lucemon without working together. But I have to try!" Inuyasha growled, still walking.
"Inuyasha!" I groaned in annoyance, "What about the others?"
"Huh? What about them?" Inuyasha asked, momentarily stopping.
"They'll probably be looking for me and you," I explained, "What about when they find you?"
"I'm a fast half-demon," Inuyasha retorted, "They won't find me."
I started groaning from the pressure I was putting on my body, for standing so long. But I was able to say, "They will."
"You okay?" Inuyasha asked.
"Not exactly," I replied truthfully.
"You're twin REALLY must've done a number on you," the half-demon told me, before he grabbed one of my arms. "I'll take you to Kagome, Miroku, Koga, Bokomon, Neemon, Rin, and Shippo, then."
"Why would you do that?" I asked, as he started running while pulling me along.
"I might act like a demon sometimes," InuYasha replied, "And I might've wanted to be a full-demon with the help of the Shikon no Tama, a Jewel that used to reside within Kagome. But I don't anymore. I just act like I am."
I sighed as I listened to InuYasha.
"That doesn't explain why you want to help me," I told the half-demon.
"Because I feel like it!" he growled.
Inuyasha stopped running after we got to an empty clearing and he let go of my arm.
"I could've sworn they were here!" InuYasha growled.
"They could've gone somewhere else," I replied.
"Are there any lakes nearby, Kouichi?" he asked me.
"Yeah, there's actually a huge lake just to the east of here," I replied.
"Then we should go there," InuYasha decided, "Can ya walk?"
"I'll be able to make it to the lake," I replied.
"Then let's go," he told me, walking towards the lake with me following him.
Sango
After we got off the Dark Trailmon, we were standing in front of an opening of a mountain that came to the ground before us.
"You're 100% sure the Dark Trailmon dropped us off at the right spot?" I asked Koji and Zoe.
"YES!" They shouted.
"I was just asking! Sesh!" I grumbled under my breath.
Sesshomaru seemed to be annoyed with waiting just as much as I was.
"I will not just stand here!" he growled, walking up to the opening before someone shouted,"Will you just wait, Sesshomaru!"
It sounded like Rin, Sesshomaru's human companion, only it was cold and dark.
"Rin?" I asked the girl after she appeared out of the opening, on what looked almost EXACTLY like my cat-demon companion Kilala in her saber-tooth tiger form. Except this one had black fur where Kilala's would be yellow, white ears, paws, and two strips on her tail, where it would be black, and this cat-demon's eyes were green not red.
"Master Lucemon and Lord Naraku want you four to combine your powers and release their full power," Rin told us.
"We'll do it," Koji, Zoe, Sesshomaru, and I said in unison.
"Good," Rin nodded in approval.
We stood shoulder to shoulder.
"I am Koji Minamoto, the Warrior of Light! I give Master Lucemon and Lord Naraku my Warrior Spirits of Light and the Warrior Spirits that I have collected on my journeys!" Koji shouted, holding out his D-Tector. Suddenly four balls of slightly blinding light appeared out of the D-Tector and entered the mountain opening.
"I am Sesshomaru, the Eldest Son of the Inu no Taishō! I give Master Lucemon and Lord Naraku the power of my sword Tenseiga, the Rebirth Fang!" Sesshomaru shouted. Suddenly Tenseiga glowed, as if Sesshomaru was about to use the 'Meidō Zangetsuha', but the glow was quickly sucked out and formed into a ball of defiled light before disappearing into the opening.
"I am Zoe Orimoto, The Warrior of Wind! I give Master Lucemon and Lord Naraku my Warrior Spirits of Wind and the Warrior Spirits that I have collected on my Journeys!" Zoe shouted, as she held out her D-Tector. Suddenly, two balls of Light, both being circled by really strong winds, appeared out of the D-Tector and disappeared into the opening.
"I am Sango, one of the only two survivors of my Demon Slayer Village! I give Master Lucemon and Lord Naraku the power and strength of the demons that were destroyed to make my 'Hiraikotsu!" I shouted as my large boomerang glowed a dark yellow color before the light was pulled from it and disappeared into the opening.
Abruptly, we all fell on our hands and knees from the pain that was just now making itself known.
'This is all we need,' Master Lucemon's voice said evilly, before we saw a flash of light appear, and both Master Lucemon and Lord Naraku emerged from it.
"Master Lucemon and Lord Naraku, we have done exactly what you asked," Rin told them.
'Very good Rin,' Lord Naraku replied evilly, 'Now we must return to the Feudal Era to finish the rest of our plan.'
"We will foll-" we began to say together.
'YOU will do nothing of the sort,' Master Lucemon interrupted us, 'You must remain here and guide the rest of those Digidestined and demons back to the Feudal Era.'
'That is the only way they will not get suspicious of our plot,' Lord Naraku agreed, 'As for you, Rin. You may remain with us. For the others must want SOMETHING to come to us.'
"I will be the bait," Rin simplified, "Understood."
'Good,' Master Lucemon said, 'Those Digidestined and demons will be heading to the lake where you all became... the new you all. So go there now.'
"Understood, Master Lucemon," All of us said obediently, before Lucemon and Lord Naraku, started flying off with Rin and the Kilala-look-alike in tow.
"Let's go then!" I hissed after they disappeared.
I turned around and started walking to the lake. I could hear the others following behind me.
Kagome
"Ow... Ow... OW!" Koga groaned as Miroku and I helped him walk.
"Koga I swear, if I had my Wind Tunnel and you say 'Ow' one more time...!" Miroku growled.
"Well SORRY for being in pain!" Koga growled.
"Will you two stop it!" I shouted in anger. "Koga the pain won't last, so suck it up! And Miroku, STOP GETTING MAD!"
"Yes Ma'am," they both said in fear.
"Good. Now on to the matter at hand, we need to find the lake. And fast," Bokomon told us.
"Bokomon's right. The sun's gonna go down soon," I added, looking at the sky. Suddenly, a thought crossed my mind, "Bokomon? Is there any chance those three moons up there have a moon cycle?"
"'Moon cycle'?" Bokomon repeated, before looking through his big book. "There's a likely chance, yes... Might I ask, why you want to know?"
"InuYasha," I said simply, "He turns into a human on nights with a new moon. That's when there's no moon at all."
"Oh, well the only way that will happen is if Lucemon and Naraku have enough power that they can cause that to happen," Bokomon informed.
We all looked at him in annoyance.
"I just might've jinxed us, didn't I?" Bokomon said while sighing.
"Probably," we all answered in union.
"Well, we should be getting closer to the Lake by No-oo-ow..." Bokomon said, before we could warn him that he was about to fall into the side of the lake.
"You okay?" Koga asked Bokomon, while Miroku fished him out.
"Yes. At least now we're at the lake," Bokomon replied.
"Right, but I don't see the others anywhere," Neemon told us.
"They probably went to look for us. They might return here soon," Bokomon replied calmly.
We all sighed and sat by the trees to get some shade before the sun went down.
'I hope InuYasha, and the others are doing alright,' I thought hopefully to myself before dozing off.
Finished! I know it's long, but I wanted to get one of the remaining good Digidestined's, one of the Dark Digidestined and Feudal Era people's, and one of the 'Getting our friends back to normal' group's points of view. Anyway, what will happen with Naraku and Lucemon when they go to the Feudal Era? Will Kagome, Koga, Miroku, Bokomon, and Neemon be able to figure out what's going on with Koji, Sango, Zoe, and Sesshomaru? Will Kouichi and InuYasha be able to get to the 'Getting our friends back to normal' group before the Dark Digidestined and Feudal Era people trick them? Find out next time.
