THE DOG DEMON NAMED MART
Jaken came back down the stairs as if he saw a ghost his beard was wild as ever and his eyes where glazed all over. "Well Jaken what did you find out?" Kaede asked from the couch and got no response from the toad. Myouga was confused at this and decided to snap him out of it by doing what he does best being a pest.
*SMACK!*
Myouga felt the familiar pain of being swatted as he was flattened and landed in Jaken's hand, "Thanks," he said, "No problem old friend," said the flea as he landed on his shoulder, "What has gotten you so shaken up dear friend?" Myouga asked, "We are housing an Assassin," said Jaken, "What?" Kaede yelled from the couch and she ran over to the toad, "You sure?" she asked, "I am positive for I heard it myself we are hosing a very dangerous Assassin," he said and Kaede was the first to speak. "I will go call my grandmother," she said and ran from the house to the shrine where her grandmother was working on some new spells.
Sango was busy with putting out the new wards when Kaede came bursting into the shrine, "Grandmother you got to see this it is an emergency!" Kaede shouted and Sango turned to her granddaughter, "What is it Kaede that got you so riled up all of a sudden?" the old priestess asked of her granddaughter. Kaede was panting by the door catching her breath when she started saying something, "Catch your breath first then tell me everything," Sango said as she knelt down by the display of ancient weapons aligned by the farthest wall.
All the demons where gathered in the secret room along with the staff when they heard the news that was spread by Sango. The matriarch banged on her coffee table with a fist silencing the crowd. "Now then what is this about an Assassin in our shrine?" Sango said and it was Jaken who walked up to the front, "Lady Sango we are housing one of the most dangerous demons alive today. The dog demon that we rescued is none other then the famous Moro no Kimi the mass murderer." He said shaking and panic rose throughout the crowd until Sango shouted for them to be silent. "Now no need to panic I can see why you are all scared of her as for her deeds in the past." "Where not of my doing," said a raspy voice and the crowd turned and backed away in fear as a figure stood in the door way.
Mart entered the underground room only dressed in a bathrobe since there where no clothes to fit her. "I am sorry I scared you," she said in now fluent Japanese, "Hey how come you speak my language now?" Kaede demanded, "I did not have all my memories in tact at the moment and now I do so there," she said to the young woman and she backed away. "Kind lady I thank you for your hospitality and I am sorry for the deeds I have done but they are not of my doing," Mart said and it was then that the other demons gathered around but ever weary of the dog. "Go on then Moro no Kimi," Sango said urging her on.
Mart took a deep breath feeling nervous all the same, "Are you familiar with a demon by the name of Naraku?" she asked and it was then that murmurs where heard throughout the temple till Sango silenced them. "We are familiar with that demon for he is our enemy and we thought he was dead." She then came closer to Mart, "How is it that you know of him?" she demanded Mart then looked at the floor, "Because he is the one who made me like this," she said and tears began to well up in her eyes, "He turned me from a human to a demon monster he tortured me and my friends and forced us to do terrible deeds. I can understand if you do not want to believe me, but I am speaking the truth to you and nothing but the truth." She said and began to sob.
The other demons saw this and was confused, "Is this truly Moro no Kimi the demon who slaughtered the human race to near extinction." They murmured to themselves. Mart just sat there and cried all the pain that she had and was surprised when she felt till strong arms encircled her, "Do not cry there we know how it is to be used like," said a childlike voice and Mart looked up to see Toji hugging her to the surprise of his parents and other demons. "Is it true?" Kaede said coming to the front, "Is it true that Naraku is still alive?" she asked and Mart nodded, "I did not know who it was till Inu-Yasha and Sesshoumaru-Sama told me," she said and once again the room went silent. "How did you know those names? Only the ones in the Higurashi temple knew of the great dog demons that slaughtered Naraku." "The have come to me in my sleep and trained me a bit hoping that one day I will avenge them as bring to justice all the deaths that he caused to the people of this world." Mart proclaimed and whipped her face on her sleeve.
She then gathered her thoughts together and stood strong in front of the group of demons. Myouga the only demon who was quiet at the time was surprised by the actions of this demoness in front of him. Leaping from Kaede's shoulder he bounded up the shoulder of Mart and sat there. "So you actually talked to the souls of Inu-Yasha and Sesshoumaru?" he asked and the demon nodded, "I see so they trained you eh?" and again Mart nodded, "Well Moro..." "Mart," and Myouga was silent, "Call me Mart for Moro no Kimi was a name Naraku gave me to strike fear in the hearts of his enemies. I want to be called by my real name Mart," Mart said looking at everyone with a stern look on her face. "I sense a humility with you young Mart one that no dog demon has ever possessed not even Lord Inu-Yasha." Myouga said, "Is there anything else you like to say about Naraku?" he asked, "He gets his powers from a jewel that he wears around his neck he used it to put the rosary on me during my stay in my last host. It was old and covered in blood in fact I have never smelled blood so similar to mine before till that day." She said and the flea was silent. "Do you remember what exactly the rosary looked like?" he asked, "No I don't but I do remember the power behind it. Mark Ellison as he is called now said that the necklace was very old a thousand years to be exact. He said it was used to tame a demon such as my self but he died by his brothers hand." Mart said and Myouga only stared with wide eye shock.
"Are you saying that the rosary on you neck was that old?" he said and the nod was an affirmative, "Then I know who was the owner of that necklace and the jewel around his neck," then turning he nodded to Jaken who nodded back. "I could only be the rosary of Inu-Yasha that was used on you for it is a powerful spell. The jewel around his neck is the Shikon no Tama no doubt it is full of evil and malice now." Jaken said as he stared at all the demons. "Do all of you remember that jewel?" he asked and a snake stepped forth, "I remember you mentioning that the jewel is evil when it is in the hands of a demon or a human with an evil heart." He said and the old demon nodded, "Yes it is for it causes nothing but misery even when pure."
Mart the whole time was listening to the whole thing when the force was calling her outside. Getting up she began to walk outside. "What is it?" Myouga asked from on her shoulder, "I sense something is calling me," she said as she began to walk out of the basement and out the main door.
The outside was covered in snow and Mart began to shiver as she walked across the snow the call getting stronger as she stepped across the snow. "Mistress Mart it is not wise to go outside in only a bathrobe and nothing underneath please go inside where it is warm," begged Myouga but Mart would not listen the call getting to strong as she crept across the snow. When she was half way there the cold overtook her and she fell unconscious again. Myouga looked at the demon before looking at where she was heading and saw that it was the shrine that housed the bone eaters well.
"Are you saying that she was trying to get to the bone eaters well?" Kaede said to Myouga who was sipping hot blood. "Yes she was saying that she was answering a call to the well." Myouga said calmly, "There is nothing down the well that would be of great value except those two swords," Kaede said as she watched the sleeping Mart. "Why would she want those two swords when they are in pieces?" Jaken asked, when they heard Mart whisper in her sleep, "Must get Tetsusaiga and Tenseiga," she whispered, "Must protect the innocent and avenge al that are dead," she said this time in English. Her brow began to sweat with perspiration as she tried to get up again only to find that she turned over and was sleeping peacefully. Sighing to herself Kaede decided that Mart needed some clothes. Getting up she left the two older demons alone to take care of Mart.
It was late when Mart woke up from her slumber and found herself once again in bed. "It is about time you get up," said Kaede and Mart sat up, "You are still weak from all the blood that you loss as well as the other injuries that you sustain so I suggest you get some rest before you go on your little quest again." Kaede ordered and Mart did something that the other two cringe from she smiled, "Thank you," she said and they looked at her bubble eyed. "What?" she asked, "Even for someone who was not born a dog demon you are polite," said Jaken, "I did not know that you did not have that same high and mighty attitude as Sesshoumaru," he added and Mart laughed at that, "He was a pain when he trained me but another ghost got him to lighten up and she said to tell you that she misses you Uncle Jaken," she said with a bigger smile showing her teeth.
Kaede turned to Jaken and saw the toad demon's eyes fill with tears at the remark that Mart gave, "Rin," he whispered, "Who?" Mart asked, "Rin she was the little girl that Sesshoumaru adopted because she smiled at him," Mart looked at him oddly, "See that time Lord Sesshoumaru was badly injured and was looking for him cursing him for testing the Tenseiga on me when during that time a girl nursed him back to health. This girl was human and Sesshoumaru hated humans at the time. He was surprised when she smiled at him even though he tried to scare her. Later when we found her dead he brought her back to life and she remained with us. Sesshoumaru adopted Rin as his own daughter and at first I hated her with all my life but later grew to like her. She was the only person that made Sesshoumaru happy and he taught her all there is to it. If he had a mate and a child of his own he would have made a good father." Jaken said with tears in his eyes. "I did not know that Sesshoumaru became THAT soft," commented Myouga, "I bet that anyone who is cold can become warm when they find someone to be their blanket." Said Mart and then Jaken nodded, "I see the young lady is wise." And they all laughed and were surprised by the angelic tone to Mart's laughter. The two elders began to relax around her and were surprised that she was not like the other two at all that they knew. She was the opposite instead of aggressive she was humble, instead of rushing into things she thought about them first and best of all she could sing.
The night was spent talking and entertaining themselves till Kaede came and told them that it was lights out. The two elder demons having felt more alive then they had in all their lives bid their fair well and left the room. Having turned out the lights Mart stood awake and stared at the window. "I wish I knew where you guys are," she said in English and staring out at the night sky. The stars twinkled with delight as the sparkled for the entire world to see.
LAGRANGE POINT 1
Things where not looking good for the other Shadow Assassins when they where attacked in the night. Mobile suits came from all directions and tried to get at the others. Justin with Marimaia on his back once again was running from a group of demons trying to kill him. Leaping into the air he let loose his lighting attack killing a lot of them.
Steven was not fairing any better with his wind and sand attacks as the demons came after them. "What the fuck do they want?" he said and next to him was Jimmy firing arrows. "I don't know," he said and with that they both found themselves surrounded. "Should we go animal?" Jimmy asked, "No! If we did we would cause a lot of damage and besides there are too many demons." And when a missile flew over them, "Ok Mobile suits too," he added, and was saved when a scythe sliced a few demons as well as the Leo in half. "You kiddies ok?" Duo said, "WE are fine thanks!" Jimmy called and Duo got hit by another mobile suit only to be saved by Charlie in his wolf form. "Well that answers the question of transforming," Jimmy said and began to change into a tiger followed by Steven.
Relena was already running towards the hangar where the emergency shuttles where kept and she and Une managed to find one. Climbing in she buckled herself in and thanks to Duo teaching her how to fly she was able to get the shuttle started. Another figure landed next to her it was Hilde looking all dirty covered in blood. "What happened Hilde?" she asked, "Oh this? This is from the demon that tried to get Me." she said and both laughed. "Well what are we waiting for lets get the guys and get out of this place," Relena said and fired the engines with Hilde and Une gladly seating down.
The sound of an engine was enough to get Wufei's attention as he disposed of another Mobile suit which was being enforced by a demon, "It seems as if they no longer care for avenging the dead soldiers of the past." He stated and beside him Heero agreed, "Yes it was never their intentions on avenging the soldiers anyways. Their real intentions were to destroy the world and plunge it into darkness." Wufei then caught another demon as it tried to take his gundam's head. The sound of engines could be heard as a shuttle was fast approaching them. "Heero come on," said Relena over the comm... "Right," he said and called the others who acknowledged.
The shuttle was a big one enough to fit at least five mobile suits in. it was a shuttle of the sweepers group and being a shuttle that carried a lot of junk it could fit five mobile suits and five demons.
Charlie was the first to notice as the shuttle swooped overhead howling for his companions he leaped into the cargo hold. Next came Steven who shifted back along with Charlie and followed by Jimmy but they where missing someone. "Where are Justin and Marimaia?"
Justin was having a tough time avoiding the mobile suits as they tried to get at him and Marimaia. He dodged left and right destroying property in the progress the few remaining humans on the colony have already fled to the evacuation pods already and where waiting for pick up. Running on pure adrenaline Justin swerved right as a mass of acid came flying over him and hit a mobile suit behind him. Marimaia now frightened to death was clinging on to the fox for deal life. "Hold on a little longer," Justin said as he came to a stop in an alley. The alley was a dead end for there was a huge wall at the end. The wall itself was too high for Justin to leap over so he found himself trapped.
The demons sensing this called their comrades over for an attack. Putting the girl down Justin got his weapon ready and lighting could be seen dancing on the ends. "Well looks like we got you cornered eh," said one demon as he came closer to the fox. Justin growled a warning to the demons that did not pay him any heed at all. They started to attack Justin who just shocked or burned them with is staff.
Marimaia watched as Justin tried to fight off the demons when an explosion came from behind and hit him, "JUSTIN!" she screamed and saw him on the ground bleeding. "Justin!" she screamed again and the demons took notice of her, "Well it seems we have some lunch as well." one demon said to another he was a scorpion with the tail of a snake. Seeing this he wanted nothing more then to eat this girl and get it over with. He charged the girls hoping to get her before the other demons took notice when something burning hot struck him.
Screaming the scorpion reared back in agony as he was burned from head to the tip of his tail. Looking up Marimaia saw the form of Jimmy land in front of her, "Are you alright?" he asked and she nodded, "But Justin is hurt," she said and Jimmy could see the other demons beating him while he was down. "Hey dick shits leave my buddy alone!" he yelled and fired another arrow at them.
The demons took noticed and turned towards Jimmy who was now backed up buy the rest of the guys. "Let me get them all blown up," Steven said as he raised his staff, "Sandstorm!" he called and the winds where too strong for the demons as they where blown. Charlie then used the wind to grab his brother and head for the shuttle that was floating above them. Marimaia on Jimmy's back as they landed on the shuttle and Marimaia was hugged by a worried Une. "Are you ok sweetie?" she said, "I am fine mom but Justin is hurt," she said and Trowa got to work on the fox demon. The shuttle then took off for the earth by an emergency shaft.
Relena was at the wheel when alarms went off saying that they are being blocked, "Hilde!" she yelled, "On it!" Hilde yelled as she ran into the back and towards the gunners. As she ran she passed Heero, "Heero I need you on the right guns looks like we got ourselves a blockage in the emergency exit," she said and Heero only nodded, "Mission Accepted," with that he ran towards the missile holds to the second gun. For a sweepers ship it was armed thanks to Duo's modifications for it was his ship after all before the war started again.
There was a giant mass of liquid miasma surrounded and crystallized the entrance two sets of missile launchers locked on to the target. It was then that a league of demons came at them. "These are not normal demons!" Quatre yelled from the observation window, "They have been cybernized meaning they are cyborgs," Trowa yelled at him while getting Justin stabilized. Charlie, Jimmy, Steven and Duo where watching as Heero and Hilde where shooting missile after missile to get the demons away from them while trying to aim a beam cannon at the entrance. "They can't get out in time and we will be squashed against the entrance!" Steven yelled Charlie then ran from the window, "Where are you going?" Duo demanded, "Out there to help," he said and ran to where the space suits are hidden.
The entrance to the shuttle that was meant for emergencies and to repair things where opened and a lone figure stood out there with a pair of Kodachi short swords. His tail was squashed in the space suit leaving a large bump in the rear. Using his magnetic boots he was held in place. Charlie could feel the speed of the shuttle as it neared the goo and the many demons coming at him, "Take this!" he said raising his Kodachi, "WOLF CLAW SLASH!" with that he brought them both down on the demons whipping them out and hit the goo causing it to form a huge hole. Turning behind him Charlie could see the demons following them, "ICE STORM!" He called as he released his swords down on the enemies killing them as well when his climbed into the shuttle and back to safety.
The shuttle shot out of the hole created by Charlie without a scratch and a cheer went up in the shuttle. "We did it!" Quatre cried as he hugged Trowa who pushed him away with a finger, "I am with a patient here," he said, "And I am not gay," he said and Quatre laughed, "I am not either I am just enjoying the moment." He said while dancing with Duo and Charlie came back into the lobby. He was greeted by friends and he had a smile on his face, "Mission Complete," Heero said as he slapped Charlie on the back. Relena only screamed in delight as she piloted the shuttle away from the colony and headed for earth. "Where are we going now?" Hilde asked, "Japan," Charlie said, "We need to find the swords as well as find a way to destroy Naraku," he said and the others nodded, Jimmy and Steven smirked and turned to Charlie. The wolf caught their gleam and Duo who was watching saw them look at Heero and repeated the smirk and nudged Quatre then Trowa, who smiled,
"Mission Accepted!"
HIGURASHI SHRINE TOKYO
Mart lay there listening to the wind on the window thinking about her friends when she saw something sweep passed the window. Getting up she looked outside and saw what looks like a shuttle zoom past. It was still pretty high up but at least it did not crash over any buildings. 'At least it landed in the forest,' she thought. It was then that she heard the pulsing again the calling. 'There it is again this time stronger then before!' she thought as she got up and found that someone left her a kimono. Putting it on her she found that it had some underwear as well. Mart was relieved to finally have some decent clothes besides that bathrobe on. 'Remember to thank them later.' She thought as she walked out of the room and down the stairs feeling too stiff to jump out the window. What she did not notice was that she was being followed.
Exiting the Higurashi home she made her way to the well house where the call was coming from. She was thankful that the kimono kept her warm as she reached the house. Opening the door she found herself staring at a well. Walking towards it she felt the power getting stronger and stronger as she approached the well. "I knew the calling was too much to resist," said Sango as she closed the door behind her, "I did not know you followed me," Mart said, "The calling was too much for you that is why you did not notice me besides I lived with demons my whole life so I knew how to hide my presence." She said as she turned on the lights and Mart was surprised by the array of weapons surrounding the well. "What is this place," she said as she examined a very large boomerang.
"This is the weapons museum of the Higurashi family." Sango said to Mart as she walked up to the boomerang. "This is the Hiraikotsu the weapon of the person whom I got my name from." She said and Mart felt the weapon feeling the power that the weapon had but it was not the one who called her. She examined the boomerang and found that it was made from bone, "What kind of bone made this weapon?" she asked, "It was made from the bone of demons and it has helped save its master numerous times." Then moving on she stopped in front of a staff that looked like something holy. "What is this staff?" Mart said, "Ah a Christian aren't we?" said Sango and Mart nodded, "Well this is a monk's staff used for low level monks. The monk that owned this was named Miroku," "How did you get all this stuff?" Mart asked, "Well demons collect things from famous wars though out the ages so they collected them and thought this was the proper place to put them. And so it happened to be here after all this was the birth place of Lady Kagome," "Lady Kagome?" Mart asked, "Yes she was the maiden who traveled back into time but I will tell you more of that later."

THE DOG DEMON NAMED MART
Jaken came back down the stairs as if he saw a ghost his beard was wild as ever and his eyes where glazed all over. "Well Jaken what did you find out?"

Myouga felt the familiar pain of being swatted as he was flattened and landed in Jaken's hand, "Thanks," he said, "No problem old friend," said the flea as he landed on his shoulder, "What has gotten you so shaken up dear friend?" Myouga asked, "We are housing an Assassin," said Jaken, "What?" Kaede yelled from the couch and she ran over to the toad, "You sure?" she asked, "I am positive for I heard it myself we are hosing a very dangerous Assassin," he said and Kaede was the first to speak. "I will go call my grandmother," she said and ran from the house to the shrine where her grandmother was working on some new spells.
Sango was busy with putting out the new wards when Kaede came bursting into the shrine, "Grandmother you got to see this it is an emergency!" Kaede shouted and Sango turned to her granddaughter, "What is it Kaede that got you so riled up all of a sudden?" the old priestess asked of her granddaughter.

Mart the whole time was listening to the whole thing when the force was calling her outside. Getting up she began to walk outside. "What is it?" Myouga asked from on her shoulder, "I sense something is calling me," she said as she began to walk out of the basement and out the main door.
The outside was covered in snow and Mart began to shiver as she walked across the snow the call getting stronger as she stepped across the snow. "Mistress Mart it is not wise to go outside in only a bathrobe and nothing underneath please go inside where it is warm," begged Myouga but Mart would not listen the call getting to strong as she crept across the snow. When she was half way there the cold overtook her and she fell unconscious again. Myouga looked at the demon before looking at where she was heading and saw that it was the shrine that housed the bone eaters well.
"Are you saying that she was trying to get to the bone eaters well?" Kaede said to Myouga who was sipping hot blood. "Yes she was saying that she was answering a call to the well."

Said Mart and then Jaken nodded, "I see the young lady is wise." And they all laughed and were surprised by the angelic tone to Mart's laughter. The two elders began to relax around her and were surprised that she was not like the other two at all that they knew. She was the opposite instead of aggressive she was humble, instead of rushing into things she thought about them first and best of all she could sing.
The night was spent talking and entertaining themselves till Kaede came and told them that it was lights out. The two elder demons having felt more alive then they had in all their lives bid their fair well and left the room. Having turned out the lights Mart stood awake and stared at the window. "I wish I knew where you guys are," she said in English and staring out at the night sky. The stars twinkled with delight as the sparkled for the entire world to see.
LAGRANGE POINT 1
Things where not looking good for the other Shadow Assassins when they where attacked in the night. Mobile suits came from all directions and tried to get at the others. Justin with Marimaia on his back once again was running from a group of demons trying to kill him. Leaping into the air he let loose his lighting attack killing a lot of them.
Steven was not fairing any better with his wind and sand attacks as the demons came after them. "What the fuck do they want?" he said and next to him was Jimmy firing arrows. "I don't know," he said and with that they both found themselves surrounded. "Should we go animal?" Jimmy asked, "No! If we did we would cause a lot of damage and besides there are too many demons." And when a missile flew over them, "Ok Mobile suits too," he added, and was saved when a scythe sliced a few demons as well as the Leo in half. "You kiddies ok?" Duo said, "WE are fine thanks!" Jimmy called and Duo got hit by another mobile suit only to be saved by Charlie in his wolf form. "Well that answers the question of transforming," Jimmy said and began to change into a tiger followed by Steven.
Relena was already running towards the hangar where the emergency shuttles where kept and she and Une managed to find one. Climbing in she buckled herself in and thanks to Duo teaching her how to fly she was able to get the shuttle started. Another figure landed next to her it was Hilde looking all dirty covered in blood. "What happened Hilde?" she asked, "Oh this? This is from the demon that tried to get Me." she said and both laughed. "Well what are we waiting for lets get the guys and get out of this place," Relena said and fired the engines with Hilde and Une gladly seating down.
The sound of an engine was enough to get Wufei's attention as he disposed of another Mobile suit which was being enforced by a demon, "It seems as if they no longer care for avenging the dead soldiers of the past." He stated and beside him Heero agreed, "Yes it was never their intentions on avenging the soldiers anyways. Their real intentions were to destroy the world and plunge it into darkness." Wufei then caught another demon as it tried to take his gundam's head. The sound of engines could be heard as a shuttle was fast approaching them. "Heero come on," said Relena over the comm... "Right," he said and called the others who acknowledged.
The shuttle was a big one enough to fit at least five mobile suits in. it was a shuttle of the sweepers group and being a shuttle that carried a lot of junk it could fit five mobile suits and five demons.
Charlie was the first to notice as the shuttle swooped overhead howling for his companions he leaped into the cargo hold. Next came Steven who shifted back along with Charlie and followed by Jimmy but they where missing someone. "Where are Justin and Marimaia?"
Justin was having a tough time avoiding the mobile suits as they tried to get at him and Marimaia. He dodged left and right destroying property in the progress the few remaining humans on the colony have already fled to the evacuation pods already and where waiting for pick up. Running on pure adrenaline Justin swerved right as a mass of acid came flying over him and hit a mobile suit behind him. Marimaia now frightened to death was clinging on to the fox for deal life. "Hold on a little longer," Justin said as he came to a stop in an alley. The alley was a dead end for there was a huge wall at the end. The wall itself was too high for Justin to leap over so he found himself trapped.
The demons sensing this called their comrades over for an attack. Putting the girl down Justin got his weapon ready and lighting could be seen dancing on the ends. "Well looks like we got you cornered eh," said one demon as he came closer to the fox. Justin growled a warning to the demons that did not pay him any heed at all. They started to attack Justin who just shocked or burned them with is staff.
Marimaia watched as Justin tried to fight off the demons when an explosion came from behind and hit him, "JUSTIN!" she screamed and saw him on the ground bleeding. "Justin!" she screamed again and the demons took notice of her, "Well it seems we have some lunch as well." one demon said to another he was a scorpion with the tail of a snake. Seeing this he wanted nothing more then to eat this girl and get it over with. He charged the girls hoping to get her before the other demons took notice when something burning hot struck him.
Screaming the scorpion reared back in agony as he was burned from head to the tip of his tail. Looking up Marimaia saw the form of Jimmy land in front of her, "Are you alright?" he asked and she nodded, "But Justin is hurt," she said and Jimmy could see the other demons beating him while he was down. "Hey dick shits leave my buddy alone!" he yelled and fired another arrow at them.
The demons took noticed and turned towards Jimmy who was now backed up buy the rest of the guys. "Let me get them all blown up," Steven said as he raised his staff, "Sandstorm!" he called and the winds where too strong for the demons as they where blown. Charlie then used the wind to grab his brother and head for the shuttle that was floating above them. Marimaia on Jimmy's back as they landed on the shuttle and Marimaia was hugged by a worried Une. "Are you ok sweetie?" she said, "I am fine mom but Justin is hurt," she said and Trowa got to work on the fox demon. The shuttle then took off for the earth by an emergency shaft.
Relena was at the wheel when alarms went off saying that they are being blocked, "Hilde!" she yelled, "On it!" Hilde yelled as she ran into the back and towards the gunners. As she ran she passed Heero, "Heero I need you on the right guns looks like we got ourselves a blockage in the emergency exit," she said and Heero only nodded, "Mission Accepted," with that he ran towards the missile holds to the second gun. For a sweepers ship it was armed thanks to Duo's modifications for it was his ship after all before the war started again.
There was a giant mass of liquid miasma surrounded and crystallized the entrance two sets of missile launchers locked on to the target. It was then that a league of demons came at them. "These are not normal demons!" Quatre yelled from the observation window, "They have been cybernized meaning they are cyborgs," Trowa yelled at him while getting Justin stabilized. Charlie, Jimmy, Steven and Duo where watching as Heero and Hilde where shooting missile after missile to get the demons away from them while trying to aim a beam cannon at the entrance. "They can't get out in time and we will be squashed against the entrance!" Steven yelled Charlie then ran from the window, "Where are you going?" Duo demanded, "Out there to help," he said and ran to where the space suits are hidden.
The entrance to the shuttle that was meant for emergencies and to repair things where opened and a lone figure stood out there with a pair of Kodachi short swords. His tail was squashed in the space suit leaving a large bump in the rear. Using his magnetic boots he was held in place. Charlie could feel the speed of the shuttle as it neared the goo and the many demons coming at him, "Take this!" he said raising his Kodachi, "WOLF CLAW SLASH!" with that he brought them both down on the demons whipping them out and hit the goo causing it to form a huge hole. Turning behind him Charlie could see the demons following them, "ICE STORM!" He called as he released his swords down on the enemies killing them as well when his climbed into the shuttle and back to safety.
The shuttle shot out of the hole created by Charlie without a scratch and a cheer went up in the shuttle. "We did it!" Quatre cried as he hugged Trowa who pushed him away with a finger, "I am with a patient here," he said, "And I am not gay," he said and Quatre laughed, "I am not either I am just enjoying the moment." He said while dancing with Duo and Charlie came back into the lobby. He was greeted by friends and he had a smile on his face, "Mission Complete," Heero said as he slapped Charlie on the back. Relena only screamed in delight as she piloted the shuttle away from the colony and headed for earth. "Where are we going now?" Hilde asked, "Japan," Charlie said, "We need to find the swords as well as find a way to destroy Naraku," he said and the others nodded, Jimmy and Steven smirked and turned to Charlie. The wolf caught their gleam and Duo who was watching saw them look at Heero and repeated the smirk and nudged Quatre then Trowa, who smiled,
"Mission Accepted!"
HIGURASHI SHRINE TOKYO
Mart lay there listening to the wind on the window thinking about her friends when she saw something sweep passed the window. Getting up she looked outside and saw what looks like a shuttle zoom past. It was still pretty high up but at least it did not crash over any buildings. 'At least it landed in the forest,' she thought. It was then that she heard the pulsing again the calling. 'There it is again this time stronger then before!' she thought as she got up and found that someone left her a kimono. Putting it on her she found that it had some underwear as well. Mart was relieved to finally have some decent clothes besides that bathrobe on. 'Remember to thank them later.' She thought as she walked out of the room and down the stairs feeling too stiff to jump out the window. What she did not notice was that she was being followed.
Exiting the Higurashi home she made her way to the well house where the call was coming from. She was thankful that the kimono kept her warm as she reached the house. Opening the door she found herself staring at a well. Walking towards it she felt the power getting stronger and stronger as she approached the well. "I knew the calling was too much to resist," said Sango as she closed the door behind her, "I did not know you followed me," Mart said, "The calling was too much for you that is why you did not notice me besides I lived with demons my whole life so I knew how to hide my presence." She said as she turned on the lights and Mart was surprised by the array of weapons surrounding the well. "What is this place," she said as she examined a very large boomerang.
"This is the weapons museum of the Higurashi family." Sango said to Mart as she walked up to the boomerang. "This is the Hiraikotsu the weapon of the person whom I got my name from." She said and Mart felt the weapon feeling the power that the weapon had but it was not the one who called her. She examined the boomerang and found that it was made from bone, "What kind of bone made this weapon?" she asked, "It was made from the bone of demons and it has helped save its master numerous times." Then moving on she stopped in front of a staff that looked like something holy. "What is this staff?" Mart said, "Ah a Christian aren't we?" said Sango and Mart nodded, "Well this is a monk's staff used for low level monks. The monk that owned this was named Miroku," "How did you get all this stuff?" Mart asked, "Well demons collect things from famous wars though out the ages so they collected them and thought this was the proper place to put them. And so it happened to be here after all this was the birth place of Lady Kagome," "Lady Kagome?" Mart asked, "Yes she was the maiden who traveled back into time but I will tell you more of that later."
