Nakoruru: Hello everyone. Finally I've created a new chapter.
Rimnerel: Or should I say that I created the chapter, you just said what you were looking for in the chapter.
Nakoruru (_): My sister, everyone. Say hi Rimnerel.
Rimnerel: Ello! For the rest of this story, I'm going to be my sister's co- writer. I can't promise you all exciting stuff like my sister, but I promise to do my best.
Shiro: Hm. . . .well, enough modesty and such, let's get on with the story.
Rimnerel and Nakoruru (bowing): Thank everyone for reviewing and hope you all like the new chapter.
Shiro: On a second note, the next chapter isn't going to be a long as the rest of the chapters due to the fact that it's suppose to be starting things back off on the note we left off at.
~~~~~~~~~~ *** ~~~~~~~~~~ *** ~~~~~~~~~~~
[Where last things left off at]
"All right Kiro show yourself, I know you're here!" shouted Shiro as he pulled his sword from beneath his school clothing. His blue eyes flickered around the area, noticing that he and the others that were inside the barrier were the only ones out on the street. It was very unusual, especially since it was broad daylight. Not even cars passed by. Was this Kiro's doing?
"My, my, my, if it isn't the youngest of the Millennia Kingdom's princes. I feel so privileged that they sent you to find me. I thought that if I stirred up enough trouble, someone would show." A male with black and silver hair appeared in front of the male. A ruby heart shaped crystal hung around his neck.
"That's-" Shiro's eyes flickered with hatred as he glared at the crystal that hung around the new male's neck. "You bastard, you won't have that crystal for too long. I'm going to rip your neck off then take the crystal back. Once I do that, I'm going to shove your heart in your throat, then shove it up you're a-"
"My, what a mouth you have. I wonder what the Queen would say about that," the male simpered. He fingered the necklace he wore, while staring at the dark haired male. "You know, you should really get your temper in check. I might "accidentally" break the crystal if you're too haste."
For a moment, Shiro's eyes widened, but narrowed into what appeared to be crimson slits. His aura flared up as he took his battle stance. "I'm not going to give you a chance. You'll die before trying!"
[And now here's what happens next]
Shiro raced at Kiro with his sword rose. The two toned haired male looked at his opponent with a slight smirk as he pulled out a katana of his own, preparing for Shiro. The young man attacked Kiro.
"Wow, he's pretty good with a sword. And that aura, it's incredible," Lita said.
"He reminds me of someone," Jin said.
"I know what you mean," Touya said. "His movements are well thought out. If he's as powerful as we felt then he would give even Yusuke a run for his money." The four individuals watched Shiro attacking Kiro with all his strength, before being pushed back.
"Well, seems that you get better all the time, little prince." Kiro gave the boy a mocking applaud. "But your power still pales in comparison to mine now that I have your parents' crystal. Watch as I demonstrate what I can do." With a snap of his fingers, the male turned the air frigid with the aura of his youki. Shiro reinforces his barrier around the others. He could not let them get hurt. They were the future of the world after all.
*Dammit, I didn't think that he was able to release so much of the crystal's power. How is it possible, only my parents are suppose to be able to handle the crystal in such a manner.* Shiro stood his ground, he would not be defeated by such a low youkai as this male.
~~~~~~~~~~~ *** ~~~~~~~~~~~
"What the-" Shinya's attention snapped to the window as he felt a large power building from somewhere in the city. His eyes narrowed, seeing darkness starting to shroud the sky with evil. "Kiro."
"Shinya!" Sana ran up to the male as he stared out the window. The half wind youkai looked up at her, noticing the concern on her face.
"What is it? What's the matter?"
"Shiro's gone! I went by his classroom to ask him to share my lunch, but the girls in his class said he hasn't come back to class," Sana said. "Do you think he not hungry?" Shinya stared at the half youko for a long second, concluding that sometimes she really was senseless.
"I sense a barrier," Shinya said, getting up from where he sat.
"Do you think that Shiro's in a fight?" Sana inquired.
"I don't know, but I don't like the feel of the energy that's being gathered. It's similar to Millennia Queen Serenity's power, but it's dark and evil. Shiro may be fighting Kiro, and if he is, he's going to need our help immediately," Shinya remarked soberly. "It's time we got to work Sana."
"Right, I understand."
The girl's eyes got serious as she pulled a few seeds from her pocket. Letting them drop to the floor, she focused her youki on the area surrounding her. Abruptly, the seeds that were on the ground burst into vines, weaving their way under the desks unnoticed by the students. Once the vines covered the whole floor, a mist rose up from the vines. Sana pulled out a spell talisman.
"I call upon the flames of the underworld. I ask you to aid me in casting a spell of illusion." Tiny spirit flames appeared around Sana as she concentrated on casting her spell. Her tone softened as she chanted her spell. No one in the classroom seemed to notice, which was what they wanted.
*She's useful for something every now and then I guess.* Shinya thought to himself as he watched her flag the talisman around before sealing it above the door of the classroom.
"Let's get going. That spell should hold out long enough to get what we need done," Sana said, turning to the wind youkai. "Do your thing, windy."
"All right." Pushing the window open, he hopped out of it, using his youki to levitate himself in mid air. "Now, here we go." Extending his youki out, he created a carpet of energy for Sana to float on. "Let's just hope that we aren't too late to help."
~~~~~~~~~~ *** ~~~~~~~~~~~
"Kage!" Raye screamed as she watched the boy's body fall into a limp heap. "Kage! Answer me! Are you okay?"
"Don't waste your breath calling him," the male named Kiro said, as he walked towards the body that continued to lay motionless on the ground. "The power of this crystal ripped through his body, and tore apart his soul. I was surprised he was able to take three straight blasts from this crystal and still get up afterwards. But I suppose that means he isn't as weak as I thought he was."
"Kage!" Raye called once again. Tears welled up in her eyes when she watched the male get up from off the ground slowly. Blood spilled from just about every exposed area on his body.
"Don't worry about me. . .I'm fine," Shiro said as he got back in his stance. "I'm not that easily defeated."
"Oh, you aren't are you, I guess I underestimated you greatly. But that won't happen again." Kiro used the power of the crystal to excel his speed to the point where no one could catch his movement. "Maybe if you didn't shield the others with your power little prince, you would be more of a challenge for me than this!"
Shiro screamed as he was flung back. The boy skidded to a stop just in front of the barrier. Turning his head to the side, he hacked up a large flow of blood. He could hear Raye and the others calling for him to let them help, but he knew they would not be able to handle this male. This was his battle, he was not going to let them die because he was too weak to protect them.
"Are you hurt little prince. You know you can end your suffering by not getting in my way. If you just will let me do what I need to, you can live in peace," Kiro said. He watched the male give him a death glare as he struggled to make it to his feet. Kiro sighed as he rose his hand. "I guess that is a no. I hate to kill you, little prince, but you won't look the other way. Die!"
"Vine Whip Slash!" A sharp object nearly sliced through Kiro if he hadn't been wearing the Millennia Heart Crystal. He moved out the way, but was taken off guard by a violent burst of wind that tore into his back. "Vine Whip Slash!" The object identified as a normal vine, though it was razor sharp sliced off the male's arm.
"Kage, are you okay?" Shinya dropped down from the sky in front of Shiro. Shiro said nothing as he looked at the wind youkai and the youko that was using her whip to hold Kiro at bay.
"You fools think that I'm easily beaten because of reinforcements. Think again!" Kiro (having only one arm at the moment because Sana's not giving him time to regenerate) created a force field around himself. "You won't be able to harm me now!"
"Don't bet on it." Dropping his sword, Shiro rose his right arm up concentrating all his power that wasn't in the barrier into his open palm. "You never gave me the opportunity to use my real power. I'll show you why my name is Kage." The boy's energy turned from blue to crimson to black as he begun to create a small dark flame in his hand. "This is a Makai flame. Not just any one, a shadow flame from a dark part of the Makai."
"Kage, you can't attempt it," Shinya said, blocking the way. "Are you trying to kill yourself. In the condition you're in, you're likely to-"
"Get out my way Kaze or I'll take you along with this bastard," Shiro said. His eyes had turned a dark crimson color, flowing with the dark power that was passed on from his father. Shinya hesitated for a second, but moved out the way, knowing that Shiro would not hesitate to do so, especially when he was tapping into the full extent of his power. "Now, I think it's time you tasted my real power. Kageryuha!" (A/N: This move translates to "Shadow Dragon Wave," which is like a flip to Hiei's Kokuryuha.) The flame disappeared from out of Shiro's hand and seemed to have disappeared completely.
"Where did it go?" Lita said.
The dragon reappeared in front of Kiro's shield, smashing itself into the shield, in turn cracking it. The dragon roared as it forced its way through, surprising Kiro. "Impossible!" Before the dragon could do more damage, the male disappeared, swearing that he would be back to finish them off. Once he was gone, the dragon diminished. The barrier around Raye, Amy, Lita, Mieko, Jin, and Touya disappeared also.
"Kage, you did it," Sana said.
The male glared at both her and Shinya before speaking again. "What took you idiots so long to get here?" His vision blurred as he felt himself losing consciousness. The last thing he heard before passing out into complete blackness was his mother's voice calling his name. *Mother. . .father. . .I'm sorry.*

Rimnerel: And there you go. What I could make out of this sorry excuse of a sequel.
Nakoruru: What did you just say about my story?!
Ryo: Uh-oh, she's about to blow. Rim, you better apologize to your sister for the remark. I happen to think that it's a good sequel.
Rimnerel: Why didn't it get as many reviews as One Strange Day or even Thoughts Of Yesterday?
(Nakoruru clocks Rimnerel over the head with a large mallet.)
Nakoruru (brow twitching): Want to say anything else?
Rimnerel (X_____X): . . .
Nakoruru: Thought so. But okay everyone. I'm going to try to get back to work on this on a regular basis. I promise the next chapter shall be out Wednesday. So stay tuned to find out what happen.
Rimnerel: Or should I say that I created the chapter, you just said what you were looking for in the chapter.
Nakoruru (_): My sister, everyone. Say hi Rimnerel.
