Chapter 3- Sibling rivalry
A/N sorry I haven't updated in so long but I've been quite busy. any reviews I got for ch 2 will be answered in ch 4 k? now on with the long overdue ch 3!
The battle had raged on for several hours now and the last two remaining were Sarai and her light half Sereph. The fight was equal with no signs of the other winning. The children had rejoined and were being tended to by those who were not in the battle. Cassie stood only feet from were the battle was taking place watching ,waiting and hoping…. Unbeknownst to everyone else Cassie was being slowly ripped apart from the inside out. The three spirits that shared her body possessed three dark sides and they were slowly destroying her as well while the three light sides were drawing power from Cassie and Sereph both. Sereph was beginning to loose her fight against Sarai .Too much power was being drained by the two other dragons and the kitsune. Inwardly entering her mind Cassie said to the three fighting to protect her. " you have to give up this fight. Sereph needs all of her power to defeat Sarai and while this fight rages the world is in jeopardy ." Kiona, Rikiu and Renae sighed and sat down. They had no choice but to obey their mistress's wishes. As the dark ones power filled Cassie and reached the critical limits, she whispered. "Please everyone forgive me for this act I'm about to commit and Kurama forgive me for leaving you without saying goodbye." A single tear slipped down her face as she faded out .Hoping her sacrifice would not be in vain..
Meanwhile the two dragons were locked in a power struggle . " What's wrong sister , have you gotten too weak over the past millennia?" Sarai laughed as she gained an inch of ground. " No Sarai but I see your heart ahs grown darker with the passage of time. Thinking you could steal my mate away from me.. How foolish!" Sereph replied as she regained the lost inch. " your mate ? You must have gotten more stupider than I first thought ! Toranan is MY mate fool! He wouldn't come near you in a million years!" Sarai snapped. " Guess again , he is MY mate and couldn't even stand you!" Sereph growled as she flung Sarai into a nearby tree. " He may have changed somewhat over the past few hundred years but he still is the same on the inside. He is somewhere nearby and the one thing you forgot that mother always taught us is things are never what they appear.." Sereph said exhaling a breath. Sarai got up and dusted off her black gi and said " As much as I hate to admit it sister ,you're right .We've been had at THAT fool's joke!" she said angrily ,pointing at Sensui. Sereph growled and said "Well sister shall we call a truce for this millennia and put a stop to that audacious fool before he destroys the world?" Sarai nodded and said " I want to rule the world , not DESTROY it!" Both the dragon sisters nodded and crossed hands(1) "KEPRUN SANME HA!" They shouted ,shooting a beam of light at Sensui and Itsuki. Before the two knew what had happened they were disintegrated. Sarai and Sereph exhaled a breath and suddenly Sereph turned and said to Sarai" I smell death and destruction ,don't you? " Sarai nodded and they followed the scent until they came upon Cassie's dead body." Oh god" Sereph said gulping down some tears and possible bile. Sarai gently picked her up and murmured, "This was the dark one's doing. It's not too late ,we can put a stop to it if we work together" Sarai nodded and said" It would never do for Kurama to see her like this" Both sisters entered Cassie's mind ,prepared for a fight.
And sure enough they got one. Sarai and Sereph fought like they were meant to at last. After all the dark demons were dispelled ,Sereph shone a purifying light through the whole place ,restoring it to order at last. Kiona, Rikiu and Renae were more than surprised to find themselves back in control but were happy none the less. Then the sisters exited their friend's mind and rejoined their own host. As they settled down on their opposite sides of the mind ,Sereph tripped over something and made a shocking discovery .She gulped and took a seat in her armchair as the two waited for the others to come and find them…
The light cleared off and Rose turned to Kurama" Is it finally over?" She asked him shakily." Yes I think so " he replied while trying t o ignore the scared looks on his friends faces, especially Yusuke and Kuroune. Just then he picked up the scent, the scent of death and decay. "Cassie" he murmured .He ran off in the direction, followed by Hiei and Kuroune. When he arrived, he was overjoyed to find Cassie awake and trying to stand. Key word ,trying. "Cassie stay still ,let me help you up" Kurama said , kneeling next to his severally weakened wife." no I'm fine Kurama just . Ti- ti- ti- tired is all" she said giving off a small yawn and promptly falling asleep in his arms. Nick was helped to her feet by Kuroune and Hiei . " I'm glad to see that you're alright sister." Hiei said with a small smile. "Yeah me too " Kuroune chimed in . Nick just sighed and looked over at Kurama ,who had just scooped Cassie up off the ground and had caught up to the rest of them. " How is she Kurama? " "I'd check but I'm about to go to sleep here soon too." Kurama smiled over at the others and said, " She'll be ok ,she needs rest is all." Nick yawned and said " It appears so do .. I" .With that she nodded off. The boys got everyone through the portal safely and back to the temple, only hoping that this would be the end of their troubles, little did they know, it was only the beginning….
