Chapter Five: Stephanie vs. Inuyasha
Back in the cafeteria, Amity, Eric, Kagome and Kaede were coming up with a plan to defeat Naraku and get the pieces of the Shikon Jewel. The proceedings were going well...so you think.

KAGOME: We obviously have to defeat Naraku somehow.

ERIC: That's if Naraku hasn't possessed anyone by now.

AMITY: I don't care who we have to fight! I'm only interested in kicking demon ass, collecting jewel shards, and getting Seiichimichu out of me!

KAEDE: Like father, like daughter. You must have patience, Amity. It's going to take a while to get all the shards. The thing is finding Naraku.

KAGOME: Before we go on with Naraku, I'd like to prove a little theory.

ERIC: What is it, Kagome.

KAGOME: I'd like to prove Amity's lineage to Inuyasha.

ERIC (whispering to Kaede): I think I know what's coming.

KAEDE (whispering to Eric): I wouldn't want to be Amity for all the money in the world right now.

KAGOME: There's only one way for me to be convinced that Amity's Inuyasha's daughter.

AMITY (sarcastically): And what would that be?

KAGOME: Amity...SIT!!!

Amity went crashing down to the ground.

KAGOME: Yep. She's Inuyasha's child.

AMITY: Damn! You're worse than Callie! You're gonna pay for that Kagome!

KAGOME: Speaking of Callie, have you see her since you kicked her butt, Amity?

AMITY: No. It IS peaceful without Callie around. But I DO smell Naraku's scent.

ERIC: That's not good.

KAGOME: You're not thinking...

ERIC: What was the last thing Callie said after Amity scratched her with Iron Reaver?

AMITY: She swore she'd get revenge on me if it was the last thing she did?

ERIC: You're right, and Naraku is here, he must of sensed Callie's rage...

KAEDE: ...and went to possess her.

KAGOME: We've gotta find Naraku before he finds Callie!

????: Kagome! Kagome!

KAGOME: That voice. I know that voice. But it can't be! She died in...

????: KAGOME!

KAGOME: Mayu?

MAYU: Kagome! You must stop Mistress Stephanie!

KAGOME: Who's Stephanie?

MAYU: That's a long story. All I know is that she's about to do something really stupid unless I don't stop her. Help me, Kagome!

Amity then kneeled down in front of Mayu.

AMITY: Don't worry. We'll help you save Stephanie. Now where is she?

MAYU: Mistress Stephanie went to a wooded area near here. She wanted to find out more about why The Thunder Brothers are here!

KAGOME: No! They're dead! I saw Inuyasha kill them myself!

AMITY: Now this is what I'm talking about! Let's go to these woods behind here. Time to see what powers the old man bestowed on Amity!

So as Amity, Eric, Kagome, Kaede and Mayu headed off to the woods, Stephanie was already deep in those very woods. She was surveying every inch, seeing what she could find on the mysterious Thunder Brothers.

STEPHANIE (thinking): I don't get it. My staff says that they set up shop around here somewhere. Mayu's question was a good one. What were the Thunder Brothers doing at my house? And why did they think I was Amity? Do Amity and I look that much alike? No. I can't let that blur my mission. I must collect the shards of the sacred jewel, so I can break my family's curse. Then, I won't have to worry about it when Isiah and I get married. (Looking at the hole in her hand) This. This is what's keeping Isiah and I from walking down the isle. I will do everything in my power to break this curse and...

????: IRON REAVER!!!

STEPHANIE: HUH? Who's there? Show yourself!

????: Hello, Seiichimichu. Or should I call you Amity? And why in the hell are you carrying a preist's stick?

STEPHANIE: I'm not Amity! And this MONK'S stick was carried by my great- great-great grandfather Miroku.

????: Heh, heh, heh. Nice one, Amity. You don't recognize your own father when you see him?

STEPHANIE: I...Inuyasha?

INUYASHA: In the flesh, Amity. Now it's time to see if you are my blood. IRON REAVER SOUL STEALER!!!

STEPHANIE: FOR THE LAST TIME, I'M NOT AMITY!!!

Stephanie and Inuyasha began to engage in mortal combat. Inuyasha started off by swinging his claws, trying to scratch Steph. But she was countering by hitting them with Miroku's staff. Inuyasha tried his trusty attack again.

INUYASHA: IRON REAVER!!!

STEPHANIE: Is that all you can do, Inuyasha. I can sit here all day blocking your attack. Why not make this...INTERESTING!

Stephanie hit Inuyasha with the staff when he had his guard down. She had the chance to finish Inuyasha off while he was still on the ground. But that wasn't the kind of fight she wanted.

STEPHANIE: Giving up already, Inuyasha?

INUYASHA: Not a chance, Amity.

STEPHANIE: SIT!!!

Inuyasha stood still.

STEPHANIE: DAMN!!!

INUYASHA: You're not Kagome.

STEPHANIE: Can you file that under "crap I already know!" Let's get back to our battle!

INUYASHA: With pleasure. TETSUSAIGA!!!

STEPHANIE: Yeah! Now we're getting somewhere!

Inuyasha drew his mighty sword, Tetsusaiga. The sword turned into a huge fang, with dog fur around the base. Inuyasha was now feeling much confident that he was now going to beat Stephanie. He ran and attacked her, but Steph blocked the Tetsusaiga with her staff. Blow for blow. Clank for clank. No one hit for a while. That is until Inuyasha ducked Stephanie's staff attack, knocked the staff out of her hand, and cut her face. Inuyasha then pointed the sword to Stephanie's face.

STEPHANIE: DAMMIT!!!

INUYASHA: Ha! You're not as tough as I thought you were, Amity.

STEPHANIE: I swear to god, you call me Amity one more time and you're going to regret you did.

INUYASHA: I don't think you're in a position to do anything about it...AMITY!

STEPHANIE (growling): THAT'S...IT...

Stephanie reached for her right armguard and started to remove it. She then stuck out her hand and slid the armguard down, revealing her hand, and a windy portal coming out of it. Inuyasha was in total shock.

INUYASHA: NO WAY!

STEPHANIE: WIND TUNNEL!!!

Stephanie's Wind Tunnel attack started to draw Inuyasha in. Stephanie was relentless in her attack on Inuyasha.

STEPHANIE: I tried to tell you I wasn't Amity. But you wouldn't listen to me! Now you die, Inuyasha!

INUYASHA: ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT! I BELIEVE YOU! YOU'RE NOT AMITY!

STEPHANIE: What did you just say? I didn't hear you.

INUYASHA: YOU'RE...NOT...AMITY!!!

Stephanie put her hand down, and put her armguard back over the hole in her hand. Then, Stephanie extended her hand in friendship.

STEPHANIE: That was one of the most grueling fights I've had in a while.

Inuyasha put his hand in Stephanie's, accepting her friendship.

INUYASHA: Same here. I wouldn't expect any less from the descendant of Miroku. So if you're not Amity, what is your name?

STEPHANIE: My name is Stephanie. I am in these woods because I am looking for...

INUYASHA: The Thunder Brothers?

STEPHANIE: How'd you know?

INUYASHA: Myoga told me. He said that Naraku is definitely at work here. He's posing himself as some girl named Callie.

STEPHANIE: No wonder no one's seen Callie since that day Amity beat her up. She must have went somewhere to be alone.

INUYASHA: Knowing Naraku, he must have sensed Callie's rage, and talked her into letting him possess her.

STEPHANIE: Or Callie's 3 jewel shards.

INUYASHA: Just great. Callie had jewel shards. Now that means Callie in under the influence of 63 Shikon jewel shards. We have to find Callie and stop her before she finds more shards of the jewel.

STEPHANIE: But what about the Thunder Brothers?

????: You summoned us?

The Thunder Brothers showed up right on cue. Hiten, carrying his Thunder stick, and Maten in his cloud.

HITEN: I told you we'd see each other again, Amity!

STEPHANIE: My name is STE-PHA-NIE!!!

HITEN: The daughter of Inuyasha is lying to us again, Maten. Not to worry. While you were fighting dear old dad, we took the liberty to kidnap someone very near and dear to you. Maten...

MATEN: Yes, brother Hiten. You DO know this person, don't you Amity?

????: Dude. I'm NOT Amity's boyfriend!!!

Maten pulled up a man from his cloud by his dark brown hair. He had a fu man chu, and was wearing a black trench coat with chains on it and a black shirt with some sort of Mayan symbol on it. He was right, he wasn't Amity's boyfriend. He was Stephanie's boyfriend.

STEPHANIE: ISIAH!!!

INUYASHA: BASTARDS! IRON REAVER SOUL STEALER!!!

HITEN: So you two do know each other. This is working out better than expected, Amity. And Inuyasha. I didn't expect you in this time. Nevertheless. Instead of fighting here, We will kill our prisoner here and then come to dispose of the both of you.

MATEN: But Hiten! You said I could use him for my new hair formula!

ISIAH: Me? As hair formula? Sickness, dude.

STEPHANIE: You WILL NOT turn my boyfriend into hair potion! WIND TUNNEL!

INUYASHA: BLADES OF BLOOD!!!

Stephanie and Inuyasha let fly with their attacks, but both missed.

INUYASHA: Damn!

STEPHANIE: This could take a while.

INUYASHA: Good. Because these bastards will not give up soon. Prepare yourself.

STEPHANIE: I will save my boyfriend, Inuyasha. Count on it.

HITEN: Bold words, Amity. But you have to get through both of us first.

STEPHANIE: Bring...it...on.

Meanwhile outside the woods, Amity, Eric, Kagome, Mayu and Kaede watched the sky turn dark over the woods. They knew something was going on.

ERIC: DAMMIT!! They started without us!

KAGOME: It seems that Mayu was right. The Thunder Brothers must be in there.

MAYU: I hope Mistress Stephanie is alright.

AMITY: Oh yeah. She's in there, alright. But so is Inuyasha!

KAGOME, KAEDE, ERIC AND MAYU: WHAT???!!!
