Chapter 7: Surprises
Alex and Annabel stared at each other for long while, unable to comprehend what just happened. "If you're free of Naraku's hold and I'm free of the Air Rip." Alex started. "Then that means someone has killed Naraku." Annabel finished.
Annabel jumped up on a tree. "I don't have time for this now, but I will be back to settle the score." she jumped on a house roof and was gone.
"What's going on here?" Alex asked.

A duck slept peacefully her nest, when hearing something she opened one of her eye. In alarm of what was happening she opened both eyes and started quaking.
There was a hole in the small pond, and out of it a young man about seventeen, was flying out. He was dressed in a black uniform, he had a bandanna on his head, his eyes were orange and his hair was blue. He looked at the startled duck. "Sorry about that didn't mean to wake you up." he put a gloved hand over the duck, and a blue light emanated from it. When the light was gone the duck once more slept peacefully. The Allen looked at the hole in the water. Another young man, this one looking at least nineteen, appeared out of the hole. He was wearing the same uniform that the first boy was wearing, on his side he carried a sword, he was blond his hair dropping to his shoulders made into a pony tail, and he had green eyes. James hovered a few feet over the ground. Both looked at the hole, and not long after a boy of twenty and another one of seventeen appeared. Like the first two they wore the same uniforms, with a sword on their side. The oldest had brown hair and purple eyes. The one that had followed him had green hair and black eyes. The last person to come out of the hole was a young girl of seventeen. Unlike the boy's she was wearing the uniform that both Alex and Andy wore. Her red hair dropped to her shoulders, and she had gray eyes. She stepped on the ground, and the hole disappeared from sight. "Are you sure this is the right place?" she asked the boys. They looked at the oldest, David. "Yes I'm sure. Those two are around here somewhere." The green hair boy sighted. "Those two seems to always be causing trouble." "I can't believe that's all you have to say about them, Kyle, after all Alex did spoil your first demon capture." Kyle tensed, and Mayling smiled. "I tough so." she said. "I don't think this is the time for it, Maylin, remember what were here for." David said. Maylin rolled her eyes. "Yeah I know. There seems to be a disturbance in the balance of good and evil, the main energy source is coming from this place, where coincidently the twins are, so we have been send as back up, or more like insurance." David grinned. "Couldn't have said it better my self. Now let's go find them." They started moving when they hear running, keeping to the shadows of the trees they waited to see whom it was.
************************************************************************
Alex had tried to follow Annabel, but hadn't had much success at it, so she had given up.
Sensing a demon presence she turned around, and backed up a few paces. In front of her stood some kind of demon new to her. It had way to long legs and arms, and beady frog like eyes. Its skin was also that of a frog, and its actual body was as small as a five year old, yet it towered at least six feet over her. Alex unsheathed her sword. The creature hissed and turned into a giant snake. "Wh..what are you?" she asked, voice shaking. "It does not matter," it said in a hissing voice. "What matters is that you are taken to him, as a bargaining tool with the Demon Hunters." "If..if you're talking about Naraku.." The creature hissed a sort of laugh. "Naraku was a weakling, he is gone, and my Master comes in his stead. He twice as strong as Naraku was, and he will destroy all those who dare to hunt us. He will also have the shikon jewel and that will make him stronger." "Not on my watch he isn't" Alex said, and ran forward. With procession of much practice she sliced the head of the demon, and landed where she had stood before. "That was way to easy." "Indeed it was." the head hissed. Its body started growing another head, while it head started growing another body. Alex dropped her sword and backed away, tripping over a rock. "Now you will face two of us, do not think about slicing us in half we will only multiply." it hissed. Alex's face paled as the two monsters advanced towards her. "Get out of my way!" she shouted. Taking out her hidden knives she threw them at the monsters who hissed in pain. Then getting up she ran passed them, picking up her sword and running towards the park. -Andy! Where are you? I'm in big trouble at the moment- she mentally yelled at her sister. -I can't get there right now, Kagome has been kidnapped and where following her signal to a building, you're going to have to manage until we can get there- Andy replied. Alex swallowed and nodded her head, letting go of the connection. 'She better hurry up before those things catch me.' she looked back and saw the snakes making their way towards her with speed. "Snakes I hate them." she speeded up.
************************************************************************
Maylin looked at her radar. "Hey Alex's signal is coming this way." she said. The boys looked from her to the running figure. "What the!" they all said in unison as they saw two giant snakes closing in on Alex. "Looks like she's going to need our help." David said. The others nodded and took out their weapons.
Alex looked back. 'Their gaining to fast.' biting her lip she stopped running and turned around, getting her sword ready. "If I'm going to die, I'm going down fighting not running away!" The snakes hissed. "Wise choice." they said. Alex charged forward, but someone picked her up and jumped into a tree while others took her place in front of the snakes. The shadowed figure deposited her in the tree and joined the others. 'Can't say I'm not happy someone came, but who are they.' she thought.
************************************************************************
Inuyasha jumped on the roof of the building. Andy got of and started running toward the roof door. With a kick she brought it down and hurried inside. Inuyasha followed her. She followed Kagome's signal to an office in the last floor, to her relief, she knocked once, but this time it was Inuyasha who kicked down the door and went inside. Kagome looked a both of them. "You found me!" she said running up to them. "What happened?" Andy asked. "I'm not sure, I was knocked out by the demons that brought me here, but when I woke up this place was empty." Andy looked around. "It seems to easy but I don't have time my sister is in trouble." "Then what are we waiting for?" Inuyasha said.
Andy didn't answer instead she ran out of the office, followed by Kagome and Inuyasha. They ran up to the ceiling and Inuyasha carried both of them down. "Where do we head too?" he asked. "To the park, she should be there." Inuyasha nodded.
**********************************************************************
"Alright now you're going to have to fight us." David said. The snake hissed. "More food for me." Both charged at the humans. David jumped and sliced one of them in half, while James did the same to the other one. "No you idiots! They'll just multiply if you do that!" Alex yelled down at them. All of them looked up at her and down at the Snakes who were starting to become more again. "Now she tells us!" they all said. "She could show a little more gratitude then calling us idiots." James said. "Take that up with her later." Maylin said, "We have worry about this things first."
The three arrivals looked on as the strangers dodged and fought the snakes. "Hey I know them, what are they doing here this is my sister and my territory not theirs." She said. Inuyasha landed behind the others. "Alright step aside I'll take care of this. Kagome does it have a shikon shard in it." Kagome looked at the demons. "Yea the right one has right under its neck." "Stand back all of you!"
Inuyasha yelled. "What's a demon doing helping us, and what is a human and Andy doing with him?" Allen asked. "Never mind let him take care of this if he can." David said, running aside. The others followed his lead. Inuyasha grinned, "Now watch this." He ran forward with Tetsusaiga ready. Before he even got close to the demon he swung tetsusaiga and the force sliced the demon with the shikon shard in it in half. The shikon shard fell to the ground and both demons toppled and dissolved. Kagome ran forward and picked up the jewel shard.
Andy stared with wide eyes and open mouth. "What did you just do?" she asked Inuyasha. "It's the Tetsusaiga's special attack," Kagome said, "That attack can kill hundreds of demons in one swing." "And why may I ask did you not use it when we were surrounded by demons?" she asked, in a calm voice. "I was testing you." Inuyasha simply replied. Andy cracked her knuckles. "So you were testing us huh?" Kagome backed up as Andy charged Inuyasha. "I'll give testing you flea bitten idiot!" she shouted. "What did you call me?!" Inuyasha yelled. "You heard me doggy-boy!" Inuyasha growled and started fighting back. Alex jumped down from the tree. Now recognizing the others she looked at them, entirely ignoring the fight. "What are you guys doing here? This isn't your territory," she said. "We were send here as back up, it seems something is unbalancing the scales between good and evil, more to the point there seems to be more evil going around than good." Allen said. "As you've seen we have plenty of help, nothing we can't handle." Alex said. All of them looked at Andy and Inuyasha who were now in a battle of words, and sweat dropped. "Uh, I think we'll stick around for now. But why are you working with a half demon anyways. You two are know for hating demons, Wether half or full blooded." James said. Alex shrugged. "We made an exception with him, when we found out that we were tricked, by our parents real killer, into to destroying him." "So now you're working with him, or at least trying too." David said, looking at Andy and Inuyasha. Alex smiled. "Yup that's about it." "So when do they stop fighting?" James asked. Andy put her sword away, and turned to go, Kagome followed her. The others looked at each other and followed both girls.
Inuyasha and Andy stopped fighting when they saw they had been left behind. "They keep doing that! It's all your fault doggy-boy." Andy said, running to catch up with the others. "What did you call me?" Inuyasha asked, running after Andy. Andy kept repeating the same phrase until Alex told her to be quiet.
