Lady Demoonica Darkmoon: Ohayo Mina-san! Chah, the only bishi to touch Zander was Hiei.... the others formed a part circle around them. Sorry for Hiei being a jerk, I just needed a bishounen with a bad attitude. Had to clear that up... hehe...
ALSO Merina, I'm soooo sorry about that. I didn't even notice that I had started spelling it wrong. *hides face in hands* Plus my beta reader didn't catch it either.... Forgive me?
As for the tournament, Songwind is writing it in her story and it is up to her as to which people will be in it. She isn't adding people who ask *right now* because she has to catch up to the HUGE demand of people who want to be in her story. Most of the people being added into the tournament have been waiting from *before* she posted the tenth chapter of her story. They asked way back then and she needs time to catch up, so you can ask, but don't hope for it. BUT, she said in her notes for people to stop asking her until she got caught up, so asking now is probably a bad idea. Okay I just read her 32nd chapter, I wouldn't ask if I were you.
Oh and Pudding333 my old computer didn't have spell check. So when I got this one I didn't think to look for one. My mother is my spell checker/beta reader... but she's done a horrible job at both is seems, so she's fired. Good news I did find my spell check in WordPerfect 10 so from now on this will be wrote in WordPad like always, moved to WordPerfect 10 to spell check it, then saved in NotePad. Why? Easy, I always write in WP, the spell check is only in WP10, and FF.net only lets me upload NP files.... It's all very strange. Errr... there will still be a few not right, spell check said they were not real words but it fixed sooooo many of the others that the rest of the chapters will be much better in spelling. SPELLING! I never could spell very well... *Holds up elementary spelling test, everyone sees she has Serena/Usagi test score.* ...see? Thanks for telling me, after my mother went over a chapter I thought they would be pretty well fixed. Oh well... *sigh*...
Anyway... *Gets interrupted as Zander pops in*
Zander: *Looks at Super Hurricane and shakes his head.* He is not getting anywhere near me! (-.-); Or his 'Little Washu' too! [Everyone sweat drops.]
Shi: *Is sitting on Demoonica's head.* Wow! Over 70 reviews now! On with chapter nineteen!

The World of Songwinds' Bishounen and Bishoujo:
Demoonica's Story
by
Lady Demoonica Darkmoon
[Day 1, Treah City]
"Nothing in the future,
Choosing is the answer,
We are really so happy!
Lover in the future,
Glamor is the answer,
So take me away tonight!"
Demoonica was singing again, but at least it was clean and the chorus had a beat to it. She was sweeping the floor in a small shop in town, the owner had been looking for part time help during the busy days leading up to the tournament.
"You know what?" Asked Zander as he restocked a shelf with manga's. "That song is suggestive."
Demoonica, who still had her back to him, blushed. "I have no idea as to what you're saying. I just happen to like the song, or would you rather I sing the counting song for the rest of the day?"
"NO!"
"Hehehe. I was joking."
"Right. Sure you were."
Kagome walked into the front where the two were talking. "I heard someone yell, is everything alright up here?" Inu-chan was in her arms, she had dressed him in a red yoofuku* like the adult Inuyasha from the show.
"Fine." Demoonica said. "I think I just scared Zander a bit, that's all."
"You threatened to sing that counting song, didn't you?"
"How did you guess?"
"Do you know anything else that bothers him?"
"Stop answering with another question! And yes, I do know other things that bother him."
Kagome shook her head and walked away. "This is too easy." She said. "Right Inu-chan? My trainer is easy to tease, isn't she?" He cooed.
Zander looked at Demoonica. "Where are your bishonen anyway?"
"Marou." She pointed to a bishi-ball still on her belt. "Rei is working at a restaurant as a waiter. Allen is helping out at the Bishi Center, lots of bishi are training too hard for the tournament and ending up with small injuries. Kai took a job as an assistant in the gym."
"Are you sure Kai isn't causing some of those small injuries?" He asked. Demoonica sighed. "What of your trainer friends, then?"
"I don't know where Merina is, but Hiromi is out in the field training with her Kaiba and looking for other bishounen." Zander nodded.
"You know, I never realized how much power I had lost.... until yesterday." Zander said slowly. Demoonica walked over to him and wrapped her arms around him.
"You can build your strength back up, just don't go fight with demon type bishounen. Besides all your powers aren't gone... your eyes started glowing when you got angry."
Zander smiled softly at her. "Thanks."
[Day 2, Field]
"You know, I've been wondering how this world came to be." Said Hiromi as she hugged her Kaiba.
"How about why we appear midair and fall to the ground? Maybe why we pass out during the trip?" Said Merina.
"Both of you have very good questions. I wish I had the answers... though I remember the girl I met when I first arrived said something about a glitch..." Said Demoonica.
"So the link we clicked on was like a retrieving program?"
"And it has a glitch that messes things up?"
Demoonica shrugged. "We may never know." She let out a large yawn. "Who's idea was it to come out here at seven o'clock AM?"
"Yours."
"Oh, right." She yawned again. "Why was I so set on being out here this early?" Everyone shrugged. "Why did you listen to me?"
"Why *did* we listen to her?" Said Zander. Again everyone shrugged.
"So Merina, how long have you been in the bishi world?"
"Four months, give or take."
"Wow! I've been here just over four months also. Cool, so we both arrived at the beginning of summer." Demoonica smiled as she looked around at the leaves that were just beginning to turn into the reds and yellows of early fall. "Does anyone want to train? I'm wanting to take on the gym trainer."
"I'll take you on." said Merina. "Best two out of three wins?"
"Sounds fair, I'll use Allen, Marou, and Kai."
"Vash, Sesshoumaru, and Trowa."
Hiromi, Kagome and Inu-chan, Kaiba, Folken, and Zander moved to the sidelines. Rei raised his hand. "First round Vash the Stampede vs Allen Schezar. Three. Two. One. Let it rip!...errr..." Rei blushed. "I mean begin!!!"
"Allen! Get in close and use your sword!"
"Vash dodge! No! Don't run away!" Merina sweat dropped as she watched her Vash run around like a very large chicken.
"I don't believe in fighting!" He cried as he stopped to look at his trainer. Allen walked up behind him and bonked Vash on the top of his head with the sword handle. A large bump appeared on Vash's head, then he fell to the ground with little swirls in his eyes. Allen looked down at him, placed his free hand over his face and walked away shaking his head sadly.
"I didn't hit him that hard..."
"Allen is the winner by knock out!" Shouted Rei happily.
Merina ran over to her Vash. "Vash! Are you okay?"
Vash blinked and jumped up. "I'm fine!" He said with a large grin and started laughing. Merina sighed, he was such a baka. She pulled her bishounen back to their sideline.
"Now for round two, Sesshoumaru vs Marou!"
"Ummm, two demon type bishounen in a free fight... does anyone else think we should move away from this by... oh say, a few miles?!" Hiromi said.
"Begin!!!"
Marou disappeared from view as soon at the word left Rei's mouth. The full blooded dog demon stood there, not seeming to be interested in the fact that his opponent was nowhere to be found. A few more seconds passed before Marou appeared behind Sesshoumaru his fingernails extended like claws. His attack was dodged easily and Marou found himself clawing the air.
"No bad for a dog demon." he commented. "You have speed."
"Go Sesshoumaru!" Called Vash to his fellow bishounen.
"But I am a child of the earth, Kikuga no Miko, lord of the terrestrial yoma*..." The two demons locked eyes. Sesshoumaru was taken back by what he saw in Marou's eyes. A cold hatred beyond the bounds of a person, or a place. Darkness that could smother and kill a world. If it was true that one's eyes are the windows to the soul, then what was there if all you could see was emptiness? He was frozen, unable to move.
Marou gave a laugh and walked up to the younger demon. He placed a hand on Sesshoumaru's face and leaned in close to his face. "You should fear me..." He whispered in Sesshoumaru's ear. Suddenly finding he could once again move Sesshoumaru swiped at Marou with his own deadly claws. He met with only cloth.
"I feel we are evenly matched." Sesshoumaru looked around, trying to find where the red haired demon had disappeared to again. He spun around to face behind himself. "That will not work again..."
"Will it not?" Marou appeared behind him, right where Sesshoumaru had been looking moments before. Marou had his back to Sesshoumaru, he smiled over his shoulder at the surprised dog demon. "Then... I feel that we are done here, agreed?"
"Agreed." Sesshoumaru said, all be it reluctantly. Both demons walked back to their trainers.
"I guess... it's a tie then..." Said Rei. Everyone who was watching just stared. Vash was telling Sesshoumaru how well he thought he had done.
"He was playing with me." Sesshoumaru said quietly to himself. "I do not like being played with."
"Okay! Time for round three! It's Trowa vs Kai!" Said Rei. The bishounen walked forward. "Ready! Begin!"
Trowa started by doing a flip that landed him behind Kai. Still in a crouched position he did a low spin kick, trying to knock Kai's feet from under him. The silver and blue haired bishounen was quick to move out of the way of the Heavyarms pilot. And that was the way it continued until Kai lost to Trowa, the Gundam pilot being better trained.
"Way to go Trowa!" Vash yelled happily to the quiet brown haired bishounen.
*****
"Well after this mornings excitement nothing has happened." Demoonica said. And nothing else did.
[Day 3, Treah City]
"I'm still feeling good after yesterdays battle." Demoonica said with a smile. "The guy at the gym had better be ready for a fight!"
"It was a tie yesterday." Zander said.
"So? I still feel good about my bishounen." They entered the gym. The place was still popular with trainers doing last minute training for the tournament. She recognized some of them like Kimiko, Jacky, and Anna. Anna, having came into the gym right behind her ran towards her bishounen.
"I wonder what's up over there?" Demoonica said.
"No clue." Kagome told her. "Was that Anna's Sanosuke that I saw jump out the window when we first came in?"
"I wasn't looking. Where is the gym trainer in here?"
"That would be me." Said a male voice from behind her. Demoonica turned around to see a guy who looked around seventeen. He had short black hair and dark brown eyes. "Sir Aidden Hydra, my lovely lady. My sister Madame Argent Hydra and our companion Bill are out in search of a Quatre Raberba Winner of Gundam Wing and an Amy of Sailor Moon. So I and my bishoujo are taking challengers."
"Then I'm challenging!" Demoonica said before he could continue.
"This way." He said. "There's a small arena set off to the side for gym matches during hectic times, like this tournament. It will be a two on two battle."
***** [No, I'm not going to write another battle scene into this chapter.]
"That was easy!" Demoonica said happily. "He was no match for you guys. No wonder he's only left in charge when the others are gone!" They were standing outside the gym. Demoonica was obviously happy about beating the gym trainer. "So to celebrate let's have dinner at a restaurant and you all can have the day off to relax! Oh! And Rei-chan, lets go get me that beyblade. I want you to teach me remember?"
Rei nodded his head. "Yes. I remember."
"Good! Then the rest of you can go to the hotel, we'll be by there shortly. See ya!" She handed most of the money to Kagome, then Demoonica dragged Rei off toward the beyblade shop. (See side story.*)
[Day 4, Field] *Thinking~Why did I decide to do this day by day, again?~*
"Ohayo Hiromi! Merina!" Demoonica called as she ran over to the two trainers who were waiting for her.
"Demoonica." Merina waved.
"Demoonica-chan! Kagome-chan! Inu!" Hiromi had chibi Inu-chan in her arms a few heartbeats later. "Aren't you just getting cuter every day!" She said to the baby who giggled happily.
*****
Demoonica, Merina, Hiromi, Zander, and Kagome with chibi Inuyasha were the only ones walking about in the woods. Feeling they would have better luck in finding bishounen if the group was smaller, Rei, Kai, Allen, Marou, Kaiba, Vash, Sesshoumaru, Trowa, and Folken were in their bishi-balls. Hey, they had found Kaiba when Demoonica's bishounen had retreated into their balls, so it might work again. Good luck.
"Do you think that we will have any luck with finding bishounen today?" Asked Hiromi.
"As much as ever, though at least we haven't met anyone who was hostile."
"Hostile?" This came from Merina.
"I was reminded of when I caught Marou. He wanted nothing more than to spill my blood."
"And you kept him?" Hiromi said.
"Please." Merina looked at the younger trainer. "Would you let a bishounen free if you knew he could then take out his revenge and not have to worry about it effecting him?"
"No." Hiromi shook her head. "Did he really try to hurt you Demoonica?"
"Well... he never tried to hurt me. Though he did try to break his ball, got a nasty shock from it too. He did try to make everything difficult on me and was shall I say persistent in making me uncomfortable..."
"Uncomfortable?"
Frowning, Zander finally spoke up, "He was hitting on her! Now drop the subject.", and then stormed off ahead, away from the girls.
"Oooow, touched a nerve there." Hiromi said.
"I never knew he got so upset by Marou." Demoonica said as she watched him storm off. "He never said anything about it."
"Don't try to understand men." Merina told her.
*****
"What did I tell you about your anger?" Came a voice Zander thought he knew, but it sounded... different somehow.
"Kohaku?" Zander asked.
"Very good!" Said the voice.
Zander wasn't in the mood for the young bishounen's word games. "Okay show yourself and tell me what's up."
"No..." There was a pause. "I'd rather not let my presence be known to the trainers."
"Fine." Zander sighed. "What do you want to tell me? That I shouldn't storm off like that or to be more forgiving of others actions? I already know that! I just can't help it! Okay?"
"No just that I've noticed that some of the bishounen in the world are starting to get restless."
"Restless how? Why is that important?!"
"I think trainers are going to be in trouble... it's getting dangerous... I..." He stopped talking.
"What? You what Kohaku?" Zander demanded. There was no answer. The girls came around the bend of the path they were on and stopped to look at him.
"Why are you yelling?" Asked Hiromi. Zander shook his head.
"Did you say Kohaku? Is he around again?" Demoonica looked around for the young bishounen or his dragon form.
"A Kohaku? What kind Demoonica? The one from Inuyasha? Or the blond cutie from Wish?"
"No. The one from Spirited Away."
"Way cool! Why don't you catch him?"
Demoonica held up two fingers. "I have two reasons. The first is that he is a chibi. The second is that he is the most unnervingly strange child I have met."
"So he's weird? That's your reason? I say if he shows up *after* he evolves try a ball! If you don't want him, I'll happily let him keep me and Kaiba company!" Hiromi said with a big smile.
[Day 5, Treah City]
Demoonica lay in her bed in her hotel room throwing a bishi-ball into the air and catching it as it fell towards her. Suddenly the ball didn't come back down.
"Wha?" She sat up to see the ball being held by Kagome.
"You are going to break this if you keep doing that. Why aren't you at work?"
"The owner said not to show up till one o'clock today. I'm board."
"So did the guys still go out to their work?"
"Of course, I don't have any reason to stop them."
It was then that Inu-chan woke up and started crying. Kagome grabbed a bottle and walked over to the young chibi. "See, I said you would be hungry if you didn't finish your other bottle." She said to her son.
"Does he really understand you at this age?" Demoonica asked.
"I don't think so, but the tone of your voice is what matters." Kagome walked back over to Demoonica, Inu-chan in one arm, and sat beside her. "Here. Want to try?"
"I'm afraid that I'll drop him... or do something wrong.... or..." Demoonica had never held the chibi before and was unsure how to hold him.
"Calm down for the first thing." Kagome placed Inu-chan in Demoonica's arms. "Put your arm like this, support his head with the crook of your arm, and hold the bottle like this. No, tilt it a bit more to keep the milk in the nipple of the bottle. You don't want air bubbles." Kagome smiled at her trainer. "See your doing just fine!"
Demoonica took a second to look up at Kagome, a big smile on her face. "I think I'll teach you how to change a diaper next. I could use a helper, this little guy is a full time job!" Kagome laughed. Demoonica frowned at the thought of dirty diapers, then looked back down at Inu-chan and couldn't help but smile. In the doorway that connected his room and theirs Zander quietly stood, smiling at Demoonica. He had felt a sudden surge of emotion when he had seen her holding the baby like that, though exactly what he was feeling was, again, unknown to him. It made him happy and that confused him. Shaking his head to clear his thoughts he returned to his own room. The smile was still on his face and he filed the new feeling away so he could figure it out later. Neither Kagome or Demoonica noticed that they had been watched.
[Day 6, Field] The day before the tournament.
"This is going slow again. All we do is sweep in an arc over the same area." Merina said.
"It will get better after we leave the area so close to town."
"So Rei-chan, your teaching Demoonica how to beyblade? Will you teach me?" (I'll give you three guesses as to which of the three trainers said that, and the first two don't count.)
Demoonica let out a yawn. "Okay with me. I might stop losing every battle."
"Speaking of battles, did you win against that guy at the gym?" Merina asked.
"Yes. I would have felt so awful if my bishounen couldn't beat his after my battle with you."
"I know. I took him on the morning before I ran into you all. Gave me my second gym win."
"Hey Hiromi! You should take him on after you get a second bishounen." Demoonica said with a smile. "Your Kaiba is a Sama after all!"
"Oh someone please save me from the ego trip these little girls are having!" Zander said in a mocking tone.
"Haha, very funny oh braided wonder!" Demoonica tugged on Zander's braid.
"Hey~ That hurts."
"Poor baby." She teased.
"I take it that the fight from the other day is long forgotten about." Merina said to Hiromi and Kagome. All three sighed at the pair. What were they going to do with them?
*****
Elsewhere...
"And you're sure all that power came from a half bishounen?" Asked the woman sitting behind her computer. The room was dark. The light glare bounced off her glasses as she adjusted them. Her dark brown hair was pulled up into a bun.
"Yes Magami-sama. The trainer gives off an odd aura also." The bishounen stood in the dark, shadow falling on his face. The darker shadow that was his body shifted and a soft white feather floated into the light, landing at his feet.
"Is she not human?"
"No she's human, just she is..... *odd.* She wasn't on the list to be sent an e-mail either. We don't know how she came to this world."
"Did she not arrive by portal like the rest of them?"
"She did. Also Magami-sama, the demoness called Avioc Malii, that tore her way into this world, has been killed. Reports place both the half bishounen and our unannounced trainer at the scene. That is the place where the power surge was noticed."
"Yes then, that is strange. Keep an eye on her Katan, I don't want my world to be turned on end. She is an element I did not count on, just like our parted demoness. Look at all the problems that one caused."
"Should I send her back to the human world?"
"No, no, nothing like that. The girl has not caused me any problems. Just watch her."
"It will be difficult to do that. The half bishounen is keen of things."
"That is easily fixed. Join their party, become her bishounen. Keep them out of trouble!*"
"Yes, my Megami-sama." The angel type bishounen, Katan, bowed low to the woman, then disappeared.
TBC...
LDD: Chapter nineteen is done! I made sure to spell names right, again sorry Merina. Please review! V(^_^)V ~ ~ ~Note to self- Make double sure you've spelled things right before having beta reader do her job. Hold it I fired my beta reader....~ ~ ~
*Runs around tossing front row seat tickets to the tournament in Songwind's story in the air. Makes sure she gives them to all her readers. ENJOY!!!* V(^___^)V Even if you don't get in the tournament you have front row seats to watch from.
You remember those little *'s that made their way into the story after some words or phrases? well here are author notes too long to be placed in story:
*yoofuku--- I think that is the proper name for the outfit in the show. It doesn't look like a kimono.
*But I am a child of the earth, Kikuga no Miko, lord of the terrestrial yoma.--- In the movie this is his title and who he rules over. Yoma are like undead demons and terrestrial yoma are land based demons like a giant snake, a human sized butterfly of death, and a evil tree demon just to name a few. And at least two giant spiders that take human form. ~Why does it always have to be spider demons? I hate Spiders!~ As for being a 'child of the earth' Marou's infant body crawled out of the muddy ground and was not born from a mother. Also worth note is that Marou had to kill his lover *without regret* to awaken his Kikuga on Miko side fully and gain all his powers.
*(See side story.) See the side story called "Driger, Dranzer, and what was that?" for more on this adventure into beyblading.
* "Keep them out of trouble!" Little does he know how hard that will be. *Evil Grin*
LDD: Yes, we meet Bill, Aidden, and Argent again. In the field, not this next chapter either. Dana, Nova, Nebula, and Sterling too. 'Bill' is a real friend of mine, his appearance in the story will be made after the guy gets me his info. Little known info: The characters Siren (CAM) is my real aunt and Mahannie (MKM) is my real mum! My aunt is a big anime fan like me. My mum is my spell checker and beta reader and has been fired from both jobs. They will not be seen again in this story, I just needed people and forced them into giving me descriptions. Okay I forced my mum to, my aunt was happy to be in the story. She even spent most of a night working with me on Siren. --- Lady Demoonica Darkmoon (CSM)
One last thing! Who is this lady only known as Megami-sama? (Goddess)
Now PLEASE Review!!! V(^_____^)V
ALSO Merina, I'm soooo sorry about that. I didn't even notice that I had started spelling it wrong. *hides face in hands* Plus my beta reader didn't catch it either.... Forgive me?
As for the tournament, Songwind is writing it in her story and it is up to her as to which people will be in it. She isn't adding people who ask *right now* because she has to catch up to the HUGE demand of people who want to be in her story. Most of the people being added into the tournament have been waiting from *before* she posted the tenth chapter of her story. They asked way back then and she needs time to catch up, so you can ask, but don't hope for it. BUT, she said in her notes for people to stop asking her until she got caught up, so asking now is probably a bad idea. Okay I just read her 32nd chapter, I wouldn't ask if I were you.
Oh and Pudding333 my old computer didn't have spell check. So when I got this one I didn't think to look for one. My mother is my spell checker/beta reader... but she's done a horrible job at both is seems, so she's fired. Good news I did find my spell check in WordPerfect 10 so from now on this will be wrote in WordPad like always, moved to WordPerfect 10 to spell check it, then saved in NotePad. Why? Easy, I always write in WP, the spell check is only in WP10, and FF.net only lets me upload NP files.... It's all very strange. Errr... there will still be a few not right, spell check said they were not real words but it fixed sooooo many of the others that the rest of the chapters will be much better in spelling. SPELLING! I never could spell very well... *Holds up elementary spelling test, everyone sees she has Serena/Usagi test score.* ...see? Thanks for telling me, after my mother went over a chapter I thought they would be pretty well fixed. Oh well... *sigh*...
Anyway... *Gets interrupted as Zander pops in*
Zander: *Looks at Super Hurricane and shakes his head.* He is not getting anywhere near me! (-.-); Or his 'Little Washu' too! [Everyone sweat drops.]
Shi: *Is sitting on Demoonica's head.* Wow! Over 70 reviews now! On with chapter nineteen!

Demoonica was singing again, but at least it was clean and the chorus had a beat to it. She was sweeping the floor in a small shop in town, the owner had been looking for part time help during the busy days leading up to the tournament.
"You know what?" Asked Zander as he restocked a shelf with manga's. "That song is suggestive."
Demoonica, who still had her back to him, blushed. "I have no idea as to what you're saying. I just happen to like the song, or would you rather I sing the counting song for the rest of the day?"
"NO!"
"Hehehe. I was joking."

Kagome walked into the front where the two were talking. "I heard someone yell, is everything alright up here?" Inu-chan was in her arms, she had dressed him in a red yoofuku* like the adult Inuyasha from the show.
"Fine." Demoonica said. "I think I just scared Zander a bit, that's all."

Zander looked at Demoonica. "Where are your bishonen anyway?"
"Marou." She pointed to a bishi-ball still on her belt. "Rei is working at a restaurant as a waiter. Allen is helping out at the Bishi Center, lots of bishi are training too hard for the tournament and ending up with small injuries. Kai took a job as an assistant in the gym."
"Are you sure Kai isn't causing some of those small injuries?" He asked. Demoonica sighed. "What of your trainer friends, then?"
"I don't know where Merina is, but Hiromi is out in the field training with her Kaiba and looking for other bishounen." Zander nodded.
"You know, I never realized how much power I had lost.... until yesterday." Zander said slowly. Demoonica walked over to him and wrapped her arms around him.
"You can build your strength back up, just don't go fight with demon type bishounen. Besides all your powers aren't gone... your eyes started glowing when you got angry."
Zander smiled softly at her. "Thanks."

"You know, I've been wondering how this world came to be." Said Hiromi as she hugged her Kaiba.
"How about why we appear midair and fall to the ground? Maybe why we pass out during the trip?" Said Merina.
"Both of you have very good questions. I wish I had the answers... though I remember the girl I met when I first arrived said something about a glitch..." Said Demoonica.
"So the link we clicked on was like a retrieving program?"
"And it has a glitch that messes things up?"
Demoonica shrugged. "We may never know." She let out a large yawn. "Who's idea was it to come out here at seven o'clock AM?"
"Yours."
"Oh, right." She yawned again. "Why was I so set on being out here this early?" Everyone shrugged. "Why did you listen to me?"
"Why *did* we listen to her?" Said Zander. Again everyone shrugged.
"So Merina, how long have you been in the bishi world?"
"Four months, give or take."
"Wow! I've been here just over four months also. Cool, so we both arrived at the beginning of summer." Demoonica smiled as she looked around at the leaves that were just beginning to turn into the reds and yellows of early fall. "Does anyone want to train? I'm wanting to take on the gym trainer."
"I'll take you on." said Merina. "Best two out of three wins?"
"Sounds fair, I'll use Allen, Marou, and Kai."
"Vash, Sesshoumaru, and Trowa."
Hiromi, Kagome and Inu-chan, Kaiba, Folken, and Zander moved to the sidelines. Rei raised his hand. "First round Vash the Stampede vs Allen Schezar. Three. Two. One. Let it rip!...errr..." Rei blushed. "I mean begin!!!"
"Allen! Get in close and use your sword!"
"Vash dodge! No! Don't run away!" Merina sweat dropped as she watched her Vash run around like a very large chicken.
"I don't believe in fighting!" He cried as he stopped to look at his trainer. Allen walked up behind him and bonked Vash on the top of his head with the sword handle. A large bump appeared on Vash's head, then he fell to the ground with little swirls in his eyes. Allen looked down at him, placed his free hand over his face and walked away shaking his head sadly.
"I didn't hit him that hard..."
"Allen is the winner by knock out!" Shouted Rei happily.
Merina ran over to her Vash. "Vash! Are you okay?"
Vash blinked and jumped up. "I'm fine!" He said with a large grin and started laughing. Merina sighed, he was such a baka. She pulled her bishounen back to their sideline.
"Now for round two, Sesshoumaru vs Marou!"
"Ummm, two demon type bishounen in a free fight... does anyone else think we should move away from this by... oh say, a few miles?!" Hiromi said.
"Begin!!!"
Marou disappeared from view as soon at the word left Rei's mouth. The full blooded dog demon stood there, not seeming to be interested in the fact that his opponent was nowhere to be found. A few more seconds passed before Marou appeared behind Sesshoumaru his fingernails extended like claws. His attack was dodged easily and Marou found himself clawing the air.
"No bad for a dog demon." he commented. "You have speed."
"Go Sesshoumaru!" Called Vash to his fellow bishounen.
"But I am a child of the earth, Kikuga no Miko, lord of the terrestrial yoma*..." The two demons locked eyes. Sesshoumaru was taken back by what he saw in Marou's eyes. A cold hatred beyond the bounds of a person, or a place. Darkness that could smother and kill a world. If it was true that one's eyes are the windows to the soul, then what was there if all you could see was emptiness? He was frozen, unable to move.
Marou gave a laugh and walked up to the younger demon. He placed a hand on Sesshoumaru's face and leaned in close to his face. "You should fear me..." He whispered in Sesshoumaru's ear. Suddenly finding he could once again move Sesshoumaru swiped at Marou with his own deadly claws. He met with only cloth.
"I feel we are evenly matched." Sesshoumaru looked around, trying to find where the red haired demon had disappeared to again. He spun around to face behind himself. "That will not work again..."
"Will it not?" Marou appeared behind him, right where Sesshoumaru had been looking moments before. Marou had his back to Sesshoumaru, he smiled over his shoulder at the surprised dog demon. "Then... I feel that we are done here, agreed?"
"Agreed." Sesshoumaru said, all be it reluctantly. Both demons walked back to their trainers.
"I guess... it's a tie then..." Said Rei. Everyone who was watching just stared. Vash was telling Sesshoumaru how well he thought he had done.
"He was playing with me." Sesshoumaru said quietly to himself. "I do not like being played with."
"Okay! Time for round three! It's Trowa vs Kai!" Said Rei. The bishounen walked forward. "Ready! Begin!"
Trowa started by doing a flip that landed him behind Kai. Still in a crouched position he did a low spin kick, trying to knock Kai's feet from under him. The silver and blue haired bishounen was quick to move out of the way of the Heavyarms pilot. And that was the way it continued until Kai lost to Trowa, the Gundam pilot being better trained.
"Way to go Trowa!" Vash yelled happily to the quiet brown haired bishounen.

"Well after this mornings excitement nothing has happened." Demoonica said. And nothing else did.
[Day 3, Treah City]
"I'm still feeling good after yesterdays battle." Demoonica said with a smile. "The guy at the gym had better be ready for a fight!"
"It was a tie yesterday." Zander said.
"So? I still feel good about my bishounen." They entered the gym. The place was still popular with trainers doing last minute training for the tournament. She recognized some of them like Kimiko, Jacky, and Anna. Anna, having came into the gym right behind her ran towards her bishounen.
"I wonder what's up over there?" Demoonica said.
"No clue." Kagome told her. "Was that Anna's Sanosuke that I saw jump out the window when we first came in?"
"I wasn't looking. Where is the gym trainer in here?"
"That would be me." Said a male voice from behind her. Demoonica turned around to see a guy who looked around seventeen. He had short black hair and dark brown eyes. "Sir Aidden Hydra, my lovely lady. My sister Madame Argent Hydra and our companion Bill are out in search of a Quatre Raberba Winner of Gundam Wing and an Amy of Sailor Moon. So I and my bishoujo are taking challengers."
"Then I'm challenging!" Demoonica said before he could continue.
"This way." He said. "There's a small arena set off to the side for gym matches during hectic times, like this tournament. It will be a two on two battle."
***** [No, I'm not going to write another battle scene into this chapter.]
"That was easy!" Demoonica said happily. "He was no match for you guys. No wonder he's only left in charge when the others are gone!" They were standing outside the gym. Demoonica was obviously happy about beating the gym trainer. "So to celebrate let's have dinner at a restaurant and you all can have the day off to relax! Oh! And Rei-chan, lets go get me that beyblade. I want you to teach me remember?"
Rei nodded his head. "Yes. I remember."
"Good! Then the rest of you can go to the hotel, we'll be by there shortly. See ya!" She handed most of the money to Kagome, then Demoonica dragged Rei off toward the beyblade shop. (See side story.*)
[Day 4, Field] *Thinking~Why did I decide to do this day by day, again?~*
"Ohayo Hiromi! Merina!" Demoonica called as she ran over to the two trainers who were waiting for her.
"Demoonica." Merina waved.
"Demoonica-chan! Kagome-chan! Inu!" Hiromi had chibi Inu-chan in her arms a few heartbeats later. "Aren't you just getting cuter every day!" She said to the baby who giggled happily.
*****
Demoonica, Merina, Hiromi, Zander, and Kagome with chibi Inuyasha were the only ones walking about in the woods. Feeling they would have better luck in finding bishounen if the group was smaller, Rei, Kai, Allen, Marou, Kaiba, Vash, Sesshoumaru, Trowa, and Folken were in their bishi-balls. Hey, they had found Kaiba when Demoonica's bishounen had retreated into their balls, so it might work again. Good luck.
"Do you think that we will have any luck with finding bishounen today?" Asked Hiromi.
"As much as ever, though at least we haven't met anyone who was hostile."
"Hostile?" This came from Merina.
"I was reminded of when I caught Marou. He wanted nothing more than to spill my blood."
"And you kept him?" Hiromi said.
"Please." Merina looked at the younger trainer. "Would you let a bishounen free if you knew he could then take out his revenge and not have to worry about it effecting him?"
"No." Hiromi shook her head. "Did he really try to hurt you Demoonica?"
"Well... he never tried to hurt me. Though he did try to break his ball, got a nasty shock from it too. He did try to make everything difficult on me and was shall I say persistent in making me uncomfortable..."
"Uncomfortable?"
Frowning, Zander finally spoke up, "He was hitting on her! Now drop the subject.", and then stormed off ahead, away from the girls.
"Oooow, touched a nerve there." Hiromi said.
"I never knew he got so upset by Marou." Demoonica said as she watched him storm off. "He never said anything about it."
"Don't try to understand men." Merina told her.
*****
"What did I tell you about your anger?" Came a voice Zander thought he knew, but it sounded... different somehow.
"Kohaku?" Zander asked.
"Very good!" Said the voice.
Zander wasn't in the mood for the young bishounen's word games. "Okay show yourself and tell me what's up."
"No..." There was a pause. "I'd rather not let my presence be known to the trainers."
"Fine." Zander sighed. "What do you want to tell me? That I shouldn't storm off like that or to be more forgiving of others actions? I already know that! I just can't help it! Okay?"
"No just that I've noticed that some of the bishounen in the world are starting to get restless."
"Restless how? Why is that important?!"
"I think trainers are going to be in trouble... it's getting dangerous... I..." He stopped talking.
"What? You what Kohaku?" Zander demanded. There was no answer. The girls came around the bend of the path they were on and stopped to look at him.
"Why are you yelling?" Asked Hiromi. Zander shook his head.
"Did you say Kohaku? Is he around again?" Demoonica looked around for the young bishounen or his dragon form.
"A Kohaku? What kind Demoonica? The one from Inuyasha? Or the blond cutie from Wish?"
"No. The one from Spirited Away."
"Way cool! Why don't you catch him?"
Demoonica held up two fingers. "I have two reasons. The first is that he is a chibi. The second is that he is the most unnervingly strange child I have met."
"So he's weird? That's your reason? I say if he shows up *after* he evolves try a ball! If you don't want him, I'll happily let him keep me and Kaiba company!" Hiromi said with a big smile.
[Day 5, Treah City]
Demoonica lay in her bed in her hotel room throwing a bishi-ball into the air and catching it as it fell towards her. Suddenly the ball didn't come back down.
"Wha?" She sat up to see the ball being held by Kagome.
"You are going to break this if you keep doing that. Why aren't you at work?"
"The owner said not to show up till one o'clock today. I'm board."
"So did the guys still go out to their work?"
"Of course, I don't have any reason to stop them."
It was then that Inu-chan woke up and started crying. Kagome grabbed a bottle and walked over to the young chibi. "See, I said you would be hungry if you didn't finish your other bottle." She said to her son.
"Does he really understand you at this age?" Demoonica asked.
"I don't think so, but the tone of your voice is what matters." Kagome walked back over to Demoonica, Inu-chan in one arm, and sat beside her. "Here. Want to try?"
"I'm afraid that I'll drop him... or do something wrong.... or..." Demoonica had never held the chibi before and was unsure how to hold him.
"Calm down for the first thing." Kagome placed Inu-chan in Demoonica's arms. "Put your arm like this, support his head with the crook of your arm, and hold the bottle like this. No, tilt it a bit more to keep the milk in the nipple of the bottle. You don't want air bubbles." Kagome smiled at her trainer. "See your doing just fine!"
Demoonica took a second to look up at Kagome, a big smile on her face. "I think I'll teach you how to change a diaper next. I could use a helper, this little guy is a full time job!" Kagome laughed. Demoonica frowned at the thought of dirty diapers, then looked back down at Inu-chan and couldn't help but smile. In the doorway that connected his room and theirs Zander quietly stood, smiling at Demoonica. He had felt a sudden surge of emotion when he had seen her holding the baby like that, though exactly what he was feeling was, again, unknown to him. It made him happy and that confused him. Shaking his head to clear his thoughts he returned to his own room. The smile was still on his face and he filed the new feeling away so he could figure it out later. Neither Kagome or Demoonica noticed that they had been watched.
[Day 6, Field] The day before the tournament.
"This is going slow again. All we do is sweep in an arc over the same area." Merina said.
"It will get better after we leave the area so close to town."
"So Rei-chan, your teaching Demoonica how to beyblade? Will you teach me?" (I'll give you three guesses as to which of the three trainers said that, and the first two don't count.)
Demoonica let out a yawn. "Okay with me. I might stop losing every battle."
"Speaking of battles, did you win against that guy at the gym?" Merina asked.
"Yes. I would have felt so awful if my bishounen couldn't beat his after my battle with you."
"I know. I took him on the morning before I ran into you all. Gave me my second gym win."
"Hey Hiromi! You should take him on after you get a second bishounen." Demoonica said with a smile. "Your Kaiba is a Sama after all!"
"Oh someone please save me from the ego trip these little girls are having!" Zander said in a mocking tone.
"Haha, very funny oh braided wonder!" Demoonica tugged on Zander's braid.
"Hey~ That hurts."
"Poor baby." She teased.
"I take it that the fight from the other day is long forgotten about." Merina said to Hiromi and Kagome. All three sighed at the pair. What were they going to do with them?
*****
Elsewhere...
"And you're sure all that power came from a half bishounen?" Asked the woman sitting behind her computer. The room was dark. The light glare bounced off her glasses as she adjusted them. Her dark brown hair was pulled up into a bun.
"Yes Magami-sama. The trainer gives off an odd aura also." The bishounen stood in the dark, shadow falling on his face. The darker shadow that was his body shifted and a soft white feather floated into the light, landing at his feet.
"Is she not human?"
"No she's human, just she is..... *odd.* She wasn't on the list to be sent an e-mail either. We don't know how she came to this world."
"Did she not arrive by portal like the rest of them?"
"She did. Also Magami-sama, the demoness called Avioc Malii, that tore her way into this world, has been killed. Reports place both the half bishounen and our unannounced trainer at the scene. That is the place where the power surge was noticed."
"Yes then, that is strange. Keep an eye on her Katan, I don't want my world to be turned on end. She is an element I did not count on, just like our parted demoness. Look at all the problems that one caused."
"Should I send her back to the human world?"
"No, no, nothing like that. The girl has not caused me any problems. Just watch her."
"It will be difficult to do that. The half bishounen is keen of things."
"That is easily fixed. Join their party, become her bishounen. Keep them out of trouble!*"
"Yes, my Megami-sama." The angel type bishounen, Katan, bowed low to the woman, then disappeared.

LDD: Chapter nineteen is done! I made sure to spell names right, again sorry Merina. Please review! V(^_^)V ~ ~ ~Note to self- Make double sure you've spelled things right before having beta reader do her job. Hold it I fired my beta reader....~ ~ ~
*Runs around tossing front row seat tickets to the tournament in Songwind's story in the air. Makes sure she gives them to all her readers. ENJOY!!!* V(^___^)V Even if you don't get in the tournament you have front row seats to watch from.
You remember those little *'s that made their way into the story after some words or phrases? well here are author notes too long to be placed in story:
*yoofuku--- I think that is the proper name for the outfit in the show. It doesn't look like a kimono.
*But I am a child of the earth, Kikuga no Miko, lord of the terrestrial yoma.--- In the movie this is his title and who he rules over. Yoma are like undead demons and terrestrial yoma are land based demons like a giant snake, a human sized butterfly of death, and a evil tree demon just to name a few. And at least two giant spiders that take human form. ~Why does it always have to be spider demons? I hate Spiders!~ As for being a 'child of the earth' Marou's infant body crawled out of the muddy ground and was not born from a mother. Also worth note is that Marou had to kill his lover *without regret* to awaken his Kikuga on Miko side fully and gain all his powers.
*(See side story.) See the side story called "Driger, Dranzer, and what was that?" for more on this adventure into beyblading.
* "Keep them out of trouble!" Little does he know how hard that will be. *Evil Grin*
