Chapter 2- The Darkness within

Me: I'm sooo sorry it's taken me so long to update my stories! With evil school and all and my parents breathing down my neck ,it 's been really hard for me .I will update whenever possible .You'll probably see more updates from me than usual around the holiday breaks etc. Now without any further delay here's the long awaited chapter 2!

The swirling miasma carried them across the plains of Spirit World and into the Makai. When they finally arrived and got their first look around ,it was startling. The ground was bare and desolate, and the plants carried no life and had no souls. Cassie 's knees began to shake as she asked "What kind of monster could do something like this?" She would've fallen to the ground ,had not Kurama put a hand under her arm. By the look on his face, everyone could tell that he was equally appalled at the state of the place. Suddenly the black pendant that Cassie was wearing began to glow and there was a picture like flash in front of them. Blood curdling screams split the air when the light faded and they could se the pit just feet in front of them. There was a mixed aura of darkness and light that would fluctuate every so often and they could see Sensui standing in front of the pit next to his partner Itsuki and they were pouring their dark aura into the pit. Hiei growled under his breath and said "their trying to stifle out her light half so Sarai will be able to take control of her entirely. " He started running towards the pit in an attempt to stop them before it was too late.

Sensui knew that they were there the moment the portal opened. "Itsuki we have visitors" he said telepathically Itsuki merely nodded and waved his hand once .He had erected a barrier shield around the pit in a 30 foot radius that could only be broken by the guardian of time. Little did he know that the guardian of time and space was already there …

"No Hiei ,stop!" Cassie cried .She was too late. He made contact with Itsuki's barrier and was flung close to 200 feet behind them She raced to his side. She knelt down next to him and said "Rose do what you can for him. I will stop Sensui" She got up and headed towards the pit when Kurama stopped her. "You can't break that barrier!" he exclaimed. "You'll get hurt!" Cassie turned to him and said "Promise me whatever happens ,you'll stay put here." He just stared at her and finally gave in "Alright I'll stay here. Just be careful ok?" She smiled and nodded. She went about 50 feet ahead of the rest of the group who were still tending to Hiei's injuries. " Let thunder, earth and fire combine .By the power of the seas and the cosmos I command thee. let the five elements merge. Come forth Guardian of time and space!" Cassie shouted and tossed four bright stones into the air. From behind her Kuroune said quietly, "those are the four stones of the elements. Remember? She must be one of the ancient guardians of the Time door." Kurama's eyes widened at this but he said nothing further. They watched as a swirling miasma light surrounded Cassie and when it cleared, she looked completely different.

Her hair went to her ankles now and had turned jet black. Her eyes were now a swirling silver that could easily be confused for Mercury Her dress was actually a miko's robe but in silver and gold. In her hands she carried a staff that looked similar to Neo Queen Serenity's staff from Crystal Tokyo but their was a little model of the earth on it. On top was a glass crystal moon, and on top of that their were five little foxes in different colors. The first four represented the four elements ,but the fifth was a swirling red and black. She stepped up to the barrier " Itsuki ,Sensui you will pay for what you have done with your lives." Her voice was deeper now and the fire of fury blazed in her eyes. She lifted her staff above her head and shouted" Cosmic blast attack!" A beam of swirling light erupted from her staff and made contact with the barrier. The barrier cracked like glass and flew into pieces. She then balanced her staff in one hand and cried "Time I command you to stop!" She had to stop time because she sensed that Sarai was only seconds away from breaking free. She walked past a frozen Sensui and Itsuki and to the edge of he pit. She peered over into the inky blackness and took a deep breath. Balancing on one foot ,she let herself fall into the blackened fog. In a matter of seconds she reached the bottom. She knew she only had a matter of seconds until time resumed it's normal flow. She grabbed Nick who was already almost fully transformed into Sarai and tapped her staff three times. A soft glowing aura ball surrounded the two and they floated to the surface.She smiled as she felt time restart and lifted Nick over her shoulder and walked far enough from the pit. She placed Nick on the ground and whispered "now time resume." She smiled as she saw the surprised look on Sensui's face ,but then gasped as she saw what was happening. Despite all of her best efforts, Sarai had still come to power. Her time had expired a the guardian and she slipped into an unconscious state as Sarai stood towering over her, laughing evilly. When Sarai saw what happened she sighed and said "I can't believe I'm going to do this.." she placed her hand on Cassie's head and poured some of her own aura into Cassie. "I must be going soft again." she muttered and then she felt a blinding pain in her back. She turned around only to be faced with her light half, standing protectively over the unconscious Cassie." I can't let you do this Sarai." She said stepping up to look her dark half in the face." Like you can stop me? " Sarai retorted snorting. "Not alone no but wit help from my friends yes I can. " Light Nick waved her hand behind her and her Dark half turned to see the forms of Andromeda, Perseus, Shilo, Rose, and Cassie rise from the ground and come to stand next to Nick's light half. At the same time their dark counterparts rose and went to join Nick's dark half. " Well it looks like the battle is about to begin again." Light Nick said. "Yes so let's get this over with ,shall we?" her dark half replied. At the signal from them both ,the battle was on…
