The Fall of a Legacy
(Death of a mighty Tiger)

_____________________________________
The year is 2080 and the world has been consumed by filth and greedy humans who have been tainted by the disease of evil. Cities are starting to crumble and many are dying in mass numbers daily due to the high crime rate... There are only two groups who can stand against this. Both being rivals and believing the others to be evil incarnate. Two girls lead these groups in succession to their fathers. They are of pure and kind hearts. Yet they are blinded by the hatred for each other that was instilled by jealousy and rivalry.

It was Sango's first time fighting alone without the Shizu's help. Her mission was to destroy the mayor's residing in Kiona. It was a large city outside of the major ones. She head to travel many days to reach it and when she finally did she was tired. She needed some rest so she rented a small room at the Kiona Inn. The weather was dreary as it always was in places like this, where evil resides. Sango took a nice hot bath and cleaned her battle gear as she called it. It consisted of pading made to resist just about anything. It looked like normal clothing though, a long sleeve black and white turtle neck and black pants. She wore a mid length coat that concealed her weapons. Her armor was nearly indestructable. Over the years it advanced, her home temple created such things to aide them. Most of the Shizu Toras' died of old age.

After Sango rested, she was ready. She walked the town in search of the Zohar. It would show her where the evil people were. It was an ability she did not know she possessed until she was five. She wondered how she got it. Her father and mother never had such powers. Growing up she was told many tales of the Legends of Masou but she never believed them. She still couldn't now. Even if her kanda was incredible. There is said to be someone even more powerful then her. This person's kanda was so strong it could destroy more than just evil. To them there was an even more powerful rival who would almost succeed in destroying their world. Sango saw the Zohar. "Wow its very strong, there must be more than one." Sango readied her weapon. It was small looking at first until she pulled on the cords. Then she had a giant boomerang, she could wield it like no other.

She charged into the section of the city where the Zohar was strongest. A tall building made of glass mostly was the center of it. It was oozing with evil. She had no choice but to take it out. She let some of her kanda stream into the boomerang. This time she would demolish the building and the evil inside. It was the only way she knew they would never resurface. You could not help them or save them once the evil took over. She readied and steadied herself. She let it fly. In one swoop the building exploded and the evil aura was gone. Her job was done.......
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At the Temple of Masou Meda wandered around. "Today is lovely here in Yakez. It is too bad that soon my beloved temple will be nothing but rubble and a bunch of memories. I wish that the scrolls were wrong and I could change it all."

"Meda, you worry too much. Besides I always have room at Yamka."

"Kijika, that is very nice of you."

"But?"

"I will never be able to leave my home. My father will die soon and join Masou and I will be here to succeed in his place. I will be a great leader. I will just have to rebuild." Meda stared into the blue skies which she knew only two places the sky was so blue. Every where else it was red the color of blood. Death was shed every where. She had tried to stop it from comming so far to her temple. They had captured many evil humans. They were hell bent on polluting the world with their disease. She alone was able to heal them and put them to rest in a deep sleep. They all slumbered in Kaya under the care of Izusa the master of the North. Even at his temple for Masou was the sky covered in red. It was ominous. Soon Yakez would join.

Sango returned home to a huge homecomming. "Sister, we heard about Kiona. They are saved. You are their hero." Kohaku was a grown boy now. Soon he would be a man. Sango worried for him, he was a gentle boy. He had always been so growing up........

~~~~~~~~~~~(dream sequence)

"Kohaku don't cry. What we do is for the good of this world we live." Sango soothed him over. "Sango, I don't want to kill anyone.... isn't their a better way? Father says I am weak to have such notions. Is that true, Sango?" Kohaku sobbed. Sango knew he always loved their father but he could be so cruel to Kohaku. "Kohaku, when the time comes you will accept it. It is okay to feel what we do sometimes. I used to think it was wrong too. Look what happened to Mother. We can't let that happen again."

~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Father wishes to speak with us, Sango." Kohaku told her. They silently walked down the great hall to their father's office. The temple was so old fashioned Sango realized. Every where else in the big cities there would be high tech building run by computers. Computers were still run by humans. Even some computers embraced the evil that consumed the world. Death and Destruction was the only path these days.

Sango walked into her father's office with Kohaku not far behind. "My children sit. We must speak bluntly." Shiko began.

"Father is something wrong?" Sango asked. "No, Sango. I must tell you, it is time."

"Time for what, Father?" "Time for you to take my place, after tonight."

This time Kohaku spoke."What happens tonight?" "Kohaku as you are well aware the final battle of mine will commence and I want Sango to lead. You will be there too. I know you have trouble with what you do. I know you don't want to but its our duty to do it."

"Yes Father, I know. I will fight with you both and be proud."

"That is a good son. You will be Sango's second in command, Kohaku. Do us proud."
Shiko excused them to get ready. He himself was a little nervous. Tonight they would take on a fierce crime lord known as Mr. Hu. They say he was possessed by evil not long ago and has been on a killing rampage since. He and his androids destroyed many cities and are attempting to take over Hoshi a rather large city which used to be humble and peaceful. To Shiko it meant alot because that is where he was born. That is where he met his wife and married her. It used to be a beautiful city and now it was swarming with despicable, vile, lowlife garbage. After tonight he would be able to rest and die in peace here at Nari Miya.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sango sought out her childhood friend and member of the Shizus', Dai Aneko. She was the most enchanting person with long dark blue hair and the lightest gray eyes. She was tall and fit. Sango met her one day in training. She was younger but as strong as Sango. They had so many good times together. Dai saved her life many times and vice versa. Sango used a giant boomerang while Dai used a saber that was very long, it emitted winds so strong it could blow anything away in the blink of an eye.

"Hey Sango, great job at Kiona. Wish I could have helped. I couldn't believe it was that easy." Dai was geared up, she always tied a huge sash around her dress and wore matching pants. Her slipper shoes were able to make her walk lightly and stealthy. Her hair was pulled into a braid that almost reached the floor. With her power she was able to use her braid in battle. "Thank you, Dai. How do you feel about tonight, have you heard?"

"Yes. I knew this day would come. Congrats! Tonight will be out fiercest battle yet. We are taking some of the warriors and leaving behind some leaders."

"Oh, who is staying?"

"Lei Long, Gin Kyoko and Leiko Nyoko. Of course I will be going and so will Hisoka Kyoko." Dai knew that would be enough. They didn't really need that many people.

"Wow it must be a tough assassination for it to be so high. Do you think we will be in danger?"

"Of course not, please, look at who you are talking about."

Sango laughed with her friend, of course they would be okay. Or so they believed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Call Izusa, Igashu and my father, Kijika and tell them to meet with us here." Meda sounded urgent.

"It is time isn't it Meda?" Kijika was a handsome man, he and Meda grew up together. Today he dressed in his usual manner. A suit made of leather materials while he was cloaked in fur. He was very tall and built. He had shoulder length black hair with golden eyes. His skin was tan and his smile was bright. He was Master of the West and controlled the kanda of the fire sword.

"Yes, Kijika." Meda knew the time would come, but so quickly she wondered. "We must meet quickly. It will be over as soon as it starts."

"Will HE be there?"Kijika asked. "Of course, he will be. He is the one we want. I am afraid we will have to kill him and all he manipulates." Meda cringed at the idea.

"Naraku has put this upon himself, Meda. He embraced the evil and the souls of the evil that have threatened to destroy us. You know what they are after and you knew they would not stop. Now that he is more powerful, what choice do we have?"

"Kijika, I know all this and you are right. I just hope we can save them before its too late. Let us go."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Shiko had gathered them all for one last pep talk. "You remember who you are fighting for and for what it is you all stand for. I am proud to have led you all in victory many times. I am sorry the world has come to this. For generations it has been so. We will never be finished. One day though when all of the evil in this world has been destroyed we will live in peace for a short time before it starts over again. It is enevitable to live in a world where someone doesn't hunger for power. Tonight when we return my daughter will take my place, she alone will aide in the destruction of evil. We will all see her as a great leader leading a great army. We were but a small gang of assassins at first. They called us hunters'. We hunted demons for centuries and now we hunt peace. Tonight will mark a new beginning and victory is what we will accomplish. Do your best because we are doing ours....Now then let us head out and claim what is ours!!!!!!!!"
It did not take long for them to reach the Zohar of Hu. It was radiating such gruesome power. It came from a section of tall buildings in the city of Hoshi. Dai took to the left Hisoka to the right they each had a group of warriors as they called them. Sango, Kohaku and Shiko took the middle. They all readied their weapons. Dai would begin and sweep the buildings in one blow on her side. Sango would demolish with her boomerang while Kohaku and Shiko would go in and finish whatever was left over. Hisoka would use his Hail bombs to annhilate his side. They knew there would be fighters on the other side. Thats where the warriors came in. They each fought and fought hard and brave. When it ended the evil was diminished. Shiko ordered Kohaku to see if everyone was all right.

Kohaku ventured towards the right of the building section where Hisoka was but on his way he felt as if he had been pierced with something. He turned to see if he could see what happened. Something though was taking over his mind. It was telling him to kill. It was telling him that they are trying to force you to be their slave. They were evil. He didn't belong. Kohaku was being consumed in these thoughts, he readied his weapon. A simple blade hooked by a chain to his waist. He walked into the crowd of men and swung, killing several. Thr armor they wore would protect them, so he aimed higher for their necks. Blood oozed all over and the scene was gory. Like no other killings before. He wiped all of Hisoka's men including Hisoka out. He walked towards His father, not knowing the man or woman who stood by him. He aimed and killed. Dai's group hear the commotion and ran to protect her leaders. It wasn't enough. Before she could unleash the mgithy winds Kohaku had taken her and her group out.

All that was left was Sango. "Kohaku why have you done this, tell me." Sango was frantic. She had never seen such power. "Kohaku what is wrong...."she was cut off by his attack. He unsheathed his sword, she defended with her boomerang. She had to hit him even if it did pain her. It worked. "Sango, what have I done." Kohaku cried. "Help me. I don't know what is happening......" "Don't worry I will get help. She turned to find her nursing kit. It would be able to see what is wrong with him. Thwack. Sango fell forward. All she felt was immense pain and seen a bright aura.......then the world became dark....
