A/N: Today's the 50th chapter of Dot Hack Mew Mew. In this chapter, Reina Vance from Queen's Blade will appear to help our heroes fight and save Kohaku in the fourth part of the Naraku mini-arc. Also, to answer everyone's questions about an sequel to Dot Hack Mew Mew focusing on Dot Hack G.U., I'm afraid I can't at that time, I didn't have the G.U. games yet so until I get the Dot Hack G.U. trilogy for the PS2, I won't do a sequel to Dot Hack Mew Mew. Also, on another note, I will make a Queen's Blade Character Arc with Kite, Zoey, Tsusaka and the gang meeting Queen's Blade characters, some will join them, while others will ally themselves with Morganna Mode Gone. But I will get back to the main storyline after these two arcs, I promised. Anyway, on with the fic!
Chapter 50: Bloodlines: The Exiled Warrior
"Hmm? I have never seen you before… Who are you anyway?" BT asked, suspicious of who this boy is. For some strange reason, Kite and Zoey figured that this boy is wearing clothes that Sango wore during battle.
The boy noticed Kite, Zoey, Tsusaka and the gang and smiled. "Oh hello. Who are you?" The boy asked cheerfully. The gang introduced themselves to the boy. "I see… Weird names though. My name is Kohaku…"
Kite and Zoey gasped in shock. Could this be Sango's brother who was under Naraku's control?! "Hmm? What's up?" Kohaku asked the two. "Oh, uh, nothing. Say, Kohaku? Do you remember anything else other than your name?" Kite asked him, wanting to make sure that this is the brother of Sango.
Kohaku looked down in sadness. "I… I don't remember." "How sad…" Mint stated softly. "…Say Kohaku? Wanna come with us to an area? It's called Sigma Darkness Forsaken Aqua Field. We want to know you some more." Zoey offered.
"R-Really? You don't mind?" Kohaku smiled. "Hold on. Let me exchange member addresses with Kite and Zoey first so we can go to the area together." BT interjected. Kite and Zoey nodded as they exchanged member addresses with BT and after Kite, Zoey, Tsusaka and BT formed their parties, the gang warped to Sigma Darkness Forsaken Aqua Field.
But, unbeknownst to them, Sango was watching them chat with her brother. Sango looked down. "Kohaku…" She whispered sadly, then with a look of determination, she decided to follow them to Sigma Darkness Forsaken Aqua Field.
The gang appeared in a forest like area. Kohaku looked around in awe. "Wow… This place is…." Kohaku gasped in awe. "Do you like it?" Zoey asked with a heartwarming smile. "I find it strange that this world is different from our world. Since we are stuck here for who knows how long, we might as well be guests here." Normad stated. Ranpha and Forte gave Normad a dirty look.
"Huh? What are you talking about?" Kohaku raised an eyebrow. "Well, it's like this…" Commander Volcott began explaining to Kohaku about his group, and Kan'u's group mysteriously transported into The World and how they learned that they're anime characters in Kite, Zoey and Tsusaka's world.
"I see… So maybe this is why… Ugh, I can't remember!" Kohaku held his head in pain. "Take it easy, Kohaku. I'm sure your memory will return to you someday." Kite smiled.
"O-Ok…" Kohaku nodded wearily as the gang head into the first area of the forest.
Kohaku stared at the magic portal in front of them. "Um, what is that?" Kohaku asked. "It's called a magic portal. Monsters or treasure chests may appear out of it, but monsters appeared frequently since that's the point of RPGs." Kite stated as he, Kan'u and Bacho walked towards the portal. Three monsters appeared when the portal disappeared.
"Do you know how to fight, Kohaku?" BT asked him. "Um, yeah." Kohaku got out his sickle and swing it at the first monster, giving it some damage. "Never seen a weapon like that before in each class." BT muttered as she casted Vak Rom to give the two monsters some damage. "Ra Rom!" Tsusaka casted a spell as well, hitting three monsters as well.
"Twin Dragon!" Kite spins like a tornado hitting the second monster, defeating it. Kan'u and Bacho combined their efforts on defeating the last two monsters. "That was close…" Kohaku sighed in exhaustion.
"I know it's tiring, but bare with us, OK?" Zoey smiled warmly at him. Kohaku nodded as the parties pressed forward.
Sooner or later, they made it to where the dungeon is, but however, before they can enter. Kohaku stopped. "Hmm? Something wrong, Kohaku?" BT asked him.
Kohaku panted for awhile before he held his head. "Argh…." He stammered.
'Kohaku… Destroy the ones called Kite and Zoey and take their bracelets…"
Kohaku screamed out in pain as dark mist appeared around him. "What on earth?!" Kan'u gasped as she and her group prepared themselves for battle. "I feel an evil aura controlling Kohaku… But where?!" Cho'un tensed.
Kohaku screamed even louder as he calmed down, the mist disappeared, and then Kohaku got out his sickle and lunged at Kite and Zoey. "What are you doing?!" Forte gawked as she got out her gun and pointed it at Kohaku.
Kohaku said nothing as he used his sickle to knock Forte's gun away from her. "Shit!" Forte swore as she held her hand, it wasn't bleeding or anything, but it still hurt her.
"Kohaku… Please stop! What's gotta into you?!" Milfeulle cried, tears falling out of her face. Kohaku lashed his sickle at Kite, but Tsusaka got in the way and blocked it, his staff caught in Kohaku's sickle.
"Kohaku! Please! Snap out of it!" Tsusaka shouted, he is struggling to keep his footing. "Something's controlling Kohaku… Could it be the Cursed Wave?!" Sousou gritted her teeth.
"No… It has to be Naraku!" Kite frowned as he readies his blades. Zoey didn't hesitated by unsheathing her sword. But then, they lowered their weapons. "What are you two doing?! Tsusaka needs help!" Bunshu shouted, annoyed that Kite and Zoey lowered their weapons.
"We can't… We can't hurt Sango's brother…" Zoey shook her head. Suddenly, a voice shouted "Hirastoku!" Sango's bone boomerang appeared and destroyed the sickle. Sango caught it, with her is Kirara in her true form. "Sango!" Zoey and Chohi shouted in shock and glad to see her.
"Who's that?!" BT gasped. "She's a friend of ours. Kohaku is her brother who is under the control of Naraku!" Kite stated. "Naraku?" BT wondered.
Sango and Kohaku stared at one another. "Kohaku… Please! Try to remember! It's me, your sister, Sango!" Sango pleaded. "San…go?" Kohaku muttered, suddenly, he felt that he knows this woman. He held his head in pain. "I…I can't remember!"
The dark mist surrounded Kohaku again. "No… Naraku's trying to take control of Kohaku again!" Cho'un gritted her teeth angrily. Suddenly, a white aura surrounded the dark mist, dispelling it for awhile. Then, the parties turned to see a woman coming in.
She was about maybe 19 or 20 years old, has blond hair tied up in two braids with rings at the end, blue eyes, has a bust that rivals Kan'u's, she is almost exclusively adorned in armor with a distinct breastplate that gives her protection and immunity to certain demonic attacks. On her right arms and neck is a series of long brown straps wrapped around her that dangle about freely. For added protection, she carries a full-arm armored gauntlet on her left arm with a buckler mounted on it.
"Who is that?!" Komei gasped. "Never mind that! We have to purify the evil influence on this boy somehow!" the woman shouted. "But how… How can we free Kohaku from Naraku's evil influence?!" Sango gasped. Suddenly, Kite and Zoey's bracelets shined.
"Your bracelets?!" Tsusaka gasped in shock. "W-What are those?! …Are these your bracelets you told me about? The ones that enables you to rewrite monsters' data?" BT gasped in shock.
"Yeah… But I feel a new power coming to me." Kite stated as he walked towards Kohaku who is in pain. "Same here…" Zoey nodded as she followed Kite. They held their bracelets together and a powerful white aura appeared around Kohaku. Kohaku screamed in pain, but suddenly, he's starting to feel better, the demon influence in him began to disappear, meaning he is reborn and freed of Naraku's influence. Kohaku closed his eyes and began to fall on the ground, but Sango caught him.
"Kohaku! Kohaku! I am so glad you are back!" Sango weeps as she held her little brother close, happy that she has her little brother back and freed from Naraku's influence once and for all.
The busty woman walked towards Kite and Zoey, Kan'u couldn't help but feel jealously over this woman's bust. "Big sister Aisha? Are you jealous of this woman's bust?" Chohi asked her. "K-Knock it off, Rinrin!" Kan'u scolded her, Chohi sweat dropped.
The woman smiled and stated "You two are really strong, freeing this boy from whatever is controlling him. I admire that." "Um… Thanks." Kite blushed, he's doing his best to look away from this woman's chest.
"Who are you?" Zoey asked the woman. "My name is Reina Vance, the Traveling Warrior." Reina smiled.
