Thanks to everyone who reviewed, I LOVE YOU ALL!

Saiyaka was the last one to join the others outside. She stared up at the giant boar-like demon that stood before them. It's enormous body loomed over them; it's giant teeth ready to devour them one by one; it's foot long claws ready to impale the ones that tried to run away. Yoh and his friends found themselves facing something unlike they had ever seen before. It was one thing to face another shaman, but in the shaman fight, a spirit is only as good as it's shaman. This was something completely different.

" Hey Ren, this kind of reminds me of your uncle!" laughed Horo Horo.

Ren clenched his teeth, his left eye gave a bit of a twitch, and without warning, he swung his Quan Dao directly towards Horo Horo. SMACK. The Quan Dao connected perfectly with the smile that was dancing on Horo Horo's face knocking him backwards onto the ground.

" Get out of here! You don't know what you're up against!" cried Inuyasha, slightly frustrated with the way these new people were acting.

" Ha! And miss all the fun?" said Yoh excitedly.

" Watch," said Inuyasha, as he ran towards the demon, " AND LEARN!"

Inuyasha had jumped towards the head of the demon, where Kagome had told him the jewel shards were. With one full sweep he had decapitated the demon. Its body shrunk back to its original size as Inuyasha landed ever so gently next to its head. Kagome ran up to collect the jewel shards.

" STAY BACK!" cried Inuyasha. Kagome drew back, slightly startled, she couldn't understand why Inuyasha didn't want her to come any closer. Suddenly, the demon's head exploded into over 100 more demons, which began to rush towards everyone.

" All of you, get back! I'll use my wind tunnel!" said Miroku as he steadied himself, raising his right hand.

" Not a chance! Now it's our turn!" answered Horo Horo as he headed towards the demons. He leapt into the air and cried " MOSOSO KRUPPE!"

" Ice blades," murmured Kagome in awe, as she watched blades of ice appear before her eyes and strike down the demons. She had known that Saiyaka was a shaman, but she had never actually seen what a real shaman could do. Horo Horo's attack took down a significant number of demons, but now they had dispersed from the large group, and were heading towards each of the shaman's, growing closer and closer.

" Amidamaru! HALO BLADE!" Yoh's attack took care of the 15 or so demons that had been heading towards him.

" BASON VORPAL DANCE! ZHONG HUA ZHAN WU!" The demons that were headed at Ren vanished into dust after his attack.

" YAHHHHHH!!" Ryu screamed as he slashed through one demon after another, "HA HA! Keep 'em coming!"

" ELIZA!!" Faust was taking care of his demons one by one like Ryu; Eliza was finding no difficulty in taking them down before they could get any closer.

A small pack of demons were barreling down on Saiyaka, " Setsuna! ANGEL VICTORY SLASH!" The demons exploded into a puff of smoke, Saiyaka's attack had finished off what was left of them. She brushed her hair off her face, and breathed a sigh of relief. She looked up and smiled at the other five shamans who were also looking rather pleased with themselves.

" You guys were awesome!" exclaimed Kagome.

" Where did you learn how to do all that stuff?" questioned Shippou.

Inuyasha, Miroku and Sango continued to stare in awe, as they had done since the shamans had begun fighting.

" It was difficult yes," answered Ryu as he grabbed Kagome's hand, " but I couldn't very well let someone of your beauty be harmed by these horrible demons. Perhaps when this is all over, you will agree to be my Shaman Queen, yes?"

Ryu leaned in for a kiss from Kagome, but his lips met the coldness of a sword. He opened his eyes to see Inuyasha blocking him from Kagome. Inuyasha's glare told Ryu that he better back away quickly or he may end up decapitated like the demon. He turned his gaze towards Sango.

" I have finally found you my love, the one who is meant to be my Shaman Queen!" He ran towards Sango but was stopped short by someone grabbing onto the back of his jacket.

" Come on Casanova, that's enough," said Yoh as he dragged Ryu away from Sango.

" Yoh stop! This is fate, she is the one!"

" Oh please Ryu, they're all," Horo Horo changed his voice to make himself sound like Ryu, and in a dreamy tone added, "the one."

As everyone else laughed at Horo Horo's terrible impersonation, Ryu, who had not found it too humorous, launched himself toward Horo Horo with his sword drawn. " You think I'm funny little man? I'll show you funny!"

Inuyasha cocked his head towards Yoh and questioned, " Do you guys always fight like this?"

Yoh smiled and nodded, " Yeah, pretty much."

" Aren't you going to stop them??" asked Inuyasha in shock.

" Nah, they'll tire themselves out eventually." Yoh turned his gaze back towards Ryu and Horo Horo and laughed.

Inuyasha ears gave a quick flick. He glanced up into the sky to see a small pack of insects fly overhead. "Naraku. I knew it," he muttered as he began to chase after them. Everyone else followed suit and started chasing after Inuyasha.

" Hey! Wait a minute, what about a lunch break? Guys I'm starving!" Horo Horo cried as he ran after everyone else.

They ran for what seemed like forever when suddenly they came to a stop in the middle of a large clearing.

" Damn, I lost it," said a frustrated Inuyasha.

" Lost what? Were we looking for something?" questioned Ryu.

" Yes you moron," explained Horo Horo, " We were looking for a lost shoe!"

" NA-RA-KU you moron," snapped Ren, " We were looking for that man named Naraku that Kagome told us about."

" I knew that," Horo Horo replied glaring at Ren.

From up in the trees above, a demon stared down at the large group below. His face turned up in disgust. " I see he has recruited more worthless humans. Humph. Now is not the time but soon, dear brother, soon the Tetsusaiga will be mine."

With that the demon disappeared from the tree, leaving the group below with no knowledge of what lay ahead of them.
