SPIRITED AWAY WON AN OSCAR!! Squee, that makes me sooo happy! YAY! Rejoicing!

Want to know something really sad? I was fooling around on my compu, as I usually do when experiencing writer's block, and I discovered something. It's the entire symbol list of weird random thingies that you can do on word! You have to be in Multilingual mode and then just hold CRTL and SHIFT and type! Guess what I found? YEN! ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥!!!!! This costs 2, 800¥ House of Bishes costs 300¥ I want 6, 000, 000, 000, 000¥! Yen Yen Yen ¥ ¥ ¥!!! Okay, I stop now.

Shoutouts:

Cheery Wolf, Tsukinoko, lindy*girl, MoonBeam020789: I'm continuing as fast as I can! I have other stuff to do besides this you know! And the Tokyo Tower is probably THE most attack are in the world where the attack involve aliens, giant monsters, demon or underage schoolgirls trying to save the world. What's next? I'll tell you what's next… if you pay me! A well written story, that's what!

ktbabe228: If you don't know what to say, that's alright. You still gave me a nice, long review and now you're going to give me more nice, long reviews, right? Right? And you'll answer all those questions yourself so I won't answer them for you.

InuSaiyanPrincess: I know, I hated killing Momiji, but it was him or Shippo. Okay, I wouldn't killed Shippo but it was best I stuck in some character you knew rather than: look, here's someone random! And now they're dead. You'd feel sad, but not as bad as you do when I kill off a poor, little defenceless rabbit-angel based after a fifteen-year-old who acts like he's eight. And you'll be in suspense! Feel the suspense! Suspense! (that's it Ama, we're taking the coffee away…)

ChocolateEclar: FFN acts screwy all the time. It's screwy to begin with. FFN IS the screwy! Screwy! I update every Monday, stop telling me to update soon! If you keep saying that I'm going to cry! Cry! And of course Netsuna's mischievous, she's a cat. Like my cat. My ninja cat. Whom we're going to teach to jump on people's heads from above. Ah, ninjas.

Inuficcrzy: That quote came from… oh, I don't remember. But I like it. And I do argue. Secret? Secret? You expect me to tell you about a secret? Silly, silly little person. Ama no tell about secrets. Ama keep you in suspense. Feel the suspense. And I never really did explain the Third Strike, did I? Well, that's what Shippo's for!

And now, the story! And kudos to anyone who finds the Daredevil reference!

Chapter 31:

War

For a moment Inu-Yasha didn't say anything.

Then he shook himself, fruitlessly removing water that was quickly replaced as he glared into the blackness where the treacherous wandering angel had vanished. Then he turned to his task and looked at her indifferently. "Go to Sesshoumaru's, eh?" He asked, sheathing his sword. "Why? Kaede tell you that?"

Kagome nodded dumbly, not quite sure what else to say. She had just suggested going to Sesshoumaru's but didn't actually except Inu-Yasha would agree with her. In fact, she wanted him to argue with her about going to the Fourth domain of Hell. Instead he seemed to think about it for a moment. "Fuck." He swore, punching a wall lightly. "This is not going right at all."

There was a bit of silence before Shippo, perched in Kagome's arms, spoke up. "Told ya it was the Third Strike." He said in a slightly annoyed tone. "And now we're screwed!"

"Would you shut up!" Inu-Yasha snapped. Before Shippo could say anything Kirrara let out a hiss, silencing the other two angels.

Kagome looked at Shippo and Inu-Yasha, glaring at each other, and then Kirrara, who was glaring at them both. The angels looked nervous about something and all the conversation that was gong over Kagome's head had to stop. "Guys, what is the Third Strike?" She asked. "I think we have a right to know." She added before Inu-Yasha could protest. Sango and Miroku nodded.

"If it's what I think it is, I believe that Shippo may not be all that far from the truth." Miroku said. Inu-Yasha crossed his arms and grumpily looked away.

"First, let's get rid of this rain." Shippo said, crossing his arms as well and looking up at the bleak sky obscured mostly by the pouring rain. He closed his eyes, put his hands together and began chanting something , his hands glowing a light blue. He paused and opened one eye to glance at Miroku. "Some help here."

"Hmm? Oh, right. Go ahead." Miroku said, releasing the rosary's hold on Shippo. The tiny fox angel went back to his chanting and soon a very light aura surrounded him and Kagome, blocking out the rain. Shippo stood up and shook himself dry. "There, that's better." He beamed. Catching Kagome and the other's confused looks, he grinned. "I forgot that since this is a magically induced rain angels can block it's effects."

"Shippo, what about your task?" Miroku said, pointing at himself who was aura-free and still sopping wet. Shippo looked at him innocently. "I'm not that strong yet."

Kagome hid a smile as Miroku sighed. Meanwhile Sango and Kirrara were now also dry and after a moment's discussion Kirrara extended the aura to Miroku as well. Miroku patted the feline angel on the head. "Thank you, Kirrara-sama." He said, proceeding to pat Sango as well. The brown-haired girl quickly brought her Hiraikotsu onto the monk's head. "You never learn, do you?" She frowned.

"I was just expressing my thanks." Miroku protested. "I'm innocent."

"Keh. That's enough bouzo." Inu-Yasha said. Kagome noticed that he was still wet and was now looking even grumpier than before. "Inu-Yasha, aren't you going to dry yourself too?" she asked. Inu-Yasha snorted and turned around. "I don't need to." He growled. "Now let's get going."

"Inu-Yasha probably can't do that spell because of his blood." Shippo rationalized aloud. Inu-Yasha's ears flattened and Kagome put a hand on the fox kit's head to warn him. Shippo took the hint and sat down quietly in the girl's arms.

"Inu-Yasha, exactly where are we going?" Miroku asked. Inu-Yasha glanced back at him, a slight smirk on his face.

"We're going to Hell." He said. "I gotta talk to that pansy of an uncle of mine and besides, Naraku's down there and that's gonna be the only way to kill him."

"What about the Third Strike?" Sango reminded them. "We were going to hear about it, right?"

Inu-Yasha looked ruffled, or as ruffled as he could be while wet, and snorted. "Fine."

Before Kagome could question her guardian's reluctance to talk about the Third Strike, Shippo coughed. "Basically put, the Third Strike is the end of the world."

There was a brief pause as everyone digested that, and Shippo continued. "In the ancient legends of the spiritual realms and even mortals long ago Fate always worked in triads. There were always three agents to mold the world and three things that would happen in a cycle. Life worked in threes: birth, life and death. Everything has a beginning, middle and end. The sun rises, the sun peaks at noon, the sun sets. There are three existences. Everything works in a pattern of threes.

"The rumor is that the same thing would happen with the strikes. We don't know if we're the first creation or if there had been one, ten or even a billion before us since we have no record. The First Strike happened many, many years ago when the three planes of existence were thought to be one, demons mortals and angels all living together. However the demons and angels soon began a war and came close to nearly destroying the world, instead splitting it up into the three planes: Heaven, the mortal realm and Hell. After that Heaven and Hell were separate, with Earth being the neutral field where all three could live together, with some minor battles. However Hell soon became greedy and weren't just satisfied with the amount of souls granted to them by Heaven; they wanted the entire mortal plane and all the souls that came with it. There was a huge battle that resulted in a lot of chaos and destruction."

"That was the Second Strike?" Kagome asked. Inu-Yasha's ears twitched as Shippo shook his head.

"No, that was just a war. The Second Strike involved Naraku." He said. "After all three existences were weakened from the war Naraku tried to destroy them all to create the chaos he wanted. He came really close to succeeding and caused a close apocalypse that wiped out a lot of angels and demons and a good number of mortals. Our parents and the other mortals managed to just barely stop him. After that the mortal plane had shifted somewhat, becoming separate from Heaven and Hell. That's when both the guardian angel system was born and Heaven, the mortal plane and Hell became distant from each other.

"Ever since Kikyou died there's been talk that the Third Strike might be happening soon. Now if everything according to legend's true, then we're perfectly set up for it and that means that everything as we know it will be destroyed. That's why a lot of people are opposed to this. It's no secret who our parents are and it's fairly obvious why everyone's been doing everything to stop us. Fate's funny in that way." He shrugged.

"So if we go to Hell we'll basically be setting ourselves up for causing the end of the world." Miroku straightened out.

Shippo nodded. "Yep."

"Keh, that's just old wives tales." Inu-Yasha snorted. "This certainly isn't the fucking Third Strike so there's nothing to worry about. Now are we going to go kill that bastard or what?"

Kagome wondered if Inu-Yasha knew that everyone knew he was bluffing, or if he did he obviously didn't seem to care.

"End of the world or not, I'm getting back at Naraku for what he did to me and my family." Sango said firmly. Miroku nodded. "And if I'm going to die I'd rather it be with a fight then by Naraku's curse."

"Damn, if Miroku's going then I have to go!" Shippo whined. Inu-Yasha looked as if he were about to say something so Kagome quickly spoke up. "It's alright Shippo-chan, we'll all be going."

Inu-Yasha's expression turned darker. "You sure as hell are staying near me if we're going down there. Souls are a main course and they'll be looking for whatever they can grab thanks to this war."

Kagome nodded and Inu-Yasha shook the water out of his hair, glaring at the rain he was powerless to stop. "Then it's settled. Now let's go find a portal before I catch a fucking cold."

Kikyou wrinkled her nose. "Rain. How pleasant."

"It should be enough to drive them out." Kagura said smugly. "And if it isn't the war between the demons and angels will surely be enough to convince them to head into Hell. Then it'll be settled."

"Inu-Yasha's too violent, so the main reason he'd head there would be to attack Naraku." Kikyou said, watching out at the barely visible city.

"And head to Sesshoumaru's first, no doubt." Kagura added. "Which means they'll take the path that's been ambushed for them.

Kikyou didn't seem half as enthusiastic as the demon. "What you've said has been quite plain. And you're sure that this… plan will work?" Kagura matched her icy glare and nodded. Kikyou shrugged. "It just seems so simply to me. I'm almost disappointed in myself that I never thought about it."

"That's the thing about history and exactly why this plan will work." Kagura said with a slight smile. "This has worked before which means that it will work again."

"Naraku was also killed by Inu-Yasha's father." Kikyou said, not looking convinced.

"But the hanyou was alive at that time." Kagura pointed out. "The threeblood won't be."

"If this works."

"This will work." Kagura said firmly. "And I know it will, because that insufferable threeblood is either too stupid or too proud to tell his companions that very secret that would otherwise save their lives." She smiled. "But all the better for us."

"Dammit, I hate this rain!" Inu-Yasha swore, trying to fruitlessly shake some water off of himself. "I can't find a damned portal anywhere!"

They had been walking around for about twenty minutes now, searching for one of the portals that would take them to Sesshoumaru's but since Inu-Yasha was the only one would could find one, in this rain they were basically walking blind.

"This is getting frustrating." Inu-Yasha growled. "I know there's one around here but I just can't sense anything."

"Looking for something?" A voice came from above. They looked up to see nothing but Kagome saw a small, whitish aura that signified an angel. The dove flew down and transformed into an angel they had met before, the wanderer Ayeka from the fair. Her red hair looked strange in the dark light and rain and she looked more worried then her previous bothersome self from the festival. Inu-Yasha grunted and put a hand on his sword.

"Ayeka, what do you want?" He asked in a half-growl. "You shouldn't be here because of the war. Unless…" He half drew his sword.

Ayeka shook her head. "Minu-onee-chan's here and that's why I'm here! I'm being a scout for her and all that because nobody suspects a wandering angel and I'm a wandering angel, well maybe the other angels would suspect me but not the other wanderers or the demons so that's why I'm here." The blinked at Kagome and the others. "But why are you here? With your task? Are you stupid?"

Inu-Yasha frowned. "I'm not stupid." He said. "And what we're doing here is not your business."

Ayeka put her hands on her hips. "Jerk today, jerk tomorrow. You never change, do you?" She turned to Kagome and walked over to her.

"Ayeka…." Inu-Yasha said with another growl.

"Oh relax, it's not like I'm going to eat them. I'm not a demon, mortal souls don't taste yummy to me." She paused and put a finger on her chin thoughtfully. "Although I've actually never tried."

Inu-Yasha growled again.

Ayeka smiled. "Lighten up." She said. "I'm not going to do anything. I'm just curious." She turned back to Kagome. "Why are you here?"

"We're… uh…" Kagome faltered, seeing Inu-Yasha draw a finger across her throat, telling her to quiet down.

"We're going to Hell." Shippo blurted and then covered his mouth. Ayeka blinked.

"Now why in the Heavens are you doing that?" She directed her question back to Inu-Yasha. Then she smiled. "Oh, I get it. Fine, I can take a hint. If you don't want me around then I'll leave." She floated into the air. "But if you are serious, and one-chan will kill me for saying this, there's a portal just a little over that ways, but it's being guarded by a really cute looking demon." She giggled.

Inu-Yasha gave a death glare to Shippo and then snorted. "Fine. Thanks Ayeka."

The angel girl's eyes widened. "You are serious? That's suicide!" She then shrugged. "Well, if you survive could you tell some of the demon bachelors that I'm always available. As soon as this war's over I'm going to Mexico. I love the drinks there. Bye!" With that strange farewell she transformed back into the dove and flew through the storm, complete unabated by the winds.

Inu-Yasha blinked after her. "I swear, that girl's on twenty forms of mortal's drugs." He muttered. He turned to Shippo. "And you-"

"Inu-Yasha, he didn't mean it." Kagome said firmly, giving her guardian her own death glare. "And besides, Ayeka told us where a portal was, didn't she? If anything you should thank him." Safe in Kagome's arms Shippo made a face at the irate half-angel. Inu-Yasha twitched an ear.

"Fine. Well, let's go before someone else who's less friendly finds us." He said gruffly. Kagome looked over at Miroku and Sango and shrugged helplessly. Some people would just never change.

Mizuki tried for the umpteenth time to light his cigarette to no avail. Swearing he threw the third useless one out. If it wasn't the rain it was the wind and if it wasn't the wind it was the rain. He stuck another cig in his mouth and pulled out his palm pilot, checking all the team tactics again, as routine. He then hid as far as he could under the building's outcrop but a gust of wind threw a spray of water right as his face. He shook off and threw his fourth light away, scowling. He hated the mortal world.

He twirled his staff idle, making the rain doing amusing patterns to ease his boredom. Mortals, dead and alive knew better than to venture out in this mess and he had only seen the odd animal. Either nothing exciting was happening or everyone was just avoiding this part of town.

Suddenly his ears perked up, as his sensitive hearing accustomed to water picked the sounds of movement in the rain. He couldn't smell a damn thing, or see for that matter, and didn't know if it was friend or foe. He knew it was none of his men, so it was a pretty good chance they were foe.

He held his spear at ready, hiding as deep into the shadows as he could, waiting for his prey to come to him. He concentrated on the sounds of the rain to give him a sort of echo-locative view of whoever was coming up. There were five of them… or maybe six, he couldn't tell. The one in front was definitely the leader and was carrying a sword. Probably trying to get into the Fourth Lord's domain. Mizuki opened his eyes, now with a sense of their position, and grinned. Not on his watch.

He crouched down and waited another moment or so, until he could make out his enemies' forms in the thick downpour. Transferring the spear into one hand he quickly leaped into the air to do a swift assassination. The group wouldn't even know their leader was dead until he fell to the ground. Preferably with a perfect line separation one of his sides from the other. Mizuki liked to keep it clean.

Kagome felt the flash of aura that could only mean one thing and she quickly followed it. "Inu-Yasha, above you!" She shouted quickly. Inu-Yasha barely reacted in time, jumping out of the way as a partially-armored, dark-skinned demon crashed into where the half-angel had been standing a breath before, the demon's three-pronged spear imbedded in the cement road. Quickly shaking the water out of his styled blue hair, the demon got up again, a tell-tale grin on his face.

"Nice work there boy but how long can you keep it up?" He asked, getting into a ready stance. Inu-Yasha growled and drew Tetsusaiga. "Long enough for you, you damn piss-drinker."

The demon's eyes narrowed, the paint above them making him seem more ominous. "Hey, hey, I don't insult neither do you. Now let's get this done quickly, I have a portal to guard."

Inu-Yasha smirked. "So there is a portal here."

Mizuki cursed himself silently for letting that one slip. He quickly nodded, friendly like, to cover up his mistake. "Damned straight. Now let's get this started!" He charged at his opponent with the spear at his side, making it seem that he was trying to shish kabob the enemy. Instead, as soon as he reached the angel he struck the ground with his blades, using a pole-vault effect to fling him over his opponent's head.

"Should we help?" Miroku asked. Sango shook her head. "I think Inu-Yasha can handle this one." Kagome said. Miroku shrugged. "Believe what you want."

"In other words, we're screwed, right?" Shippo said. The look on Kagome's face made Miroku hold in his reply.

Inu-Yasha had prepared for a striking attack but instead the demon seemed to mess up and hit the ground, sending him flying. The half-angel grinned, as he swung his sword upwards. "Hey, that was fast."

"Don't get so hasty." The demon snapped his spear up, catching the blade of Tetsusaiga in between his weapon's three blades. "I'm just warming up." He twisted his body sharply in midair, landing in front of Inu-Yasha with the half-angel's sword in the grip of his own weapon. They both began a test of strength, pushing each other as they tried to break the other's weapons.

The weapons strained at each other until just the right moment. Mizuki grinned as he did another acrobatic feat and quickly released all pressure on the sword, doing a flip backwards. Startled by the sudden move the angel stumbled forward and nearly fell.

This was what Mizuki waited for, as he used the staff of the spear to vault himself into the air before he even hit the ground, flying straight over top of the angel. He gripped the staff in both hands and shoved the spear downwards.

Inu-Yasha rolled over and caught the brunt of the stabbing blades with the flat of Tetsusaiga, the sword's large blade saving him from impalement. Using the demon's own velocity he flung the spear and it's owner backwards, quickly standing up and gripped his sword in both hands.

The demon was back on him, suddenly through with a spectacular show and now ready for the kill, stabbing, twisting, jabbing, striking, swinging and all out in Inu-Yasha's face. The half-angel barely had time to block, much less react fast enough to counter-attack. He swung the sword best he could, and soon began to be able to read his opponent's moves, blocking them faster and easier. Soon he would have the advantage and then he'd get the demon.

Mizuki smiled to himself. That's it, just keep thinking you know exactly what I'm going to do next, he thought smugly. Angels, they were all the bloody same, with their stupid views on war and 'honorable' fighting. Too hell with all that, a fight to the death was a fight without borders. Much like this one.

He quickly ducked down instead of the strike the angel was expecting and kicked his opponent in the shin, knocking him back. Mizuki then swung up, grabbing the large sword's hilt in the blades of his spear and swinging the spear around, pulling the sword from it's owner's grip and hitting the angel in the gut at the same time with the end of the rod.

Damn, he's fast, Inu-Yasha thought as he caught his breath. As the demon looked at him smugly the half-angel quickly glanced to see just how much of a chance he'd be able to reach his sword, now returned to normal, which was on the other side of the street. The demon seemed to read his mind.

"No chance boy, I'd make a fine stuck roast out of you before you'd even twitched your toes." He said, glancing back at the sword. "That trinket's just not good enough against me."

Inu-Yasha growled. "I'm not finished yet." He said. As the demon was about to make some retort Inu-Yasha was up, slamming his shoulder into his opponent's gut. As the demon gagged in shock and surprise Inu-Yasha slammed his elbow down on the back of his opponent's neck and then kicked him into the air. He jumped up to follow and then slammed his opponent into the ground with a two-fisted hit. As the demon pushed himself up Inu-Yasha landed beside his sword and picked it up, transforming it and getting ready.

Shippo suddenly recognized Inu-Yasha's intent. Stupid moron, what was he thinking? "Inu-Yasha!" Shippo shouted, standing up in Kagome's arms. "You idiot! You can't use the Kaze no Kizu here, there are mortals and buildings and other stuff! It affects the mortal realm too, remember? What are you, braindead?"

Inu-Yasha blinked as he remembered where he was and he growled, putting the sword away. "Damn, you're right. Guess I'll have to finish this the not pretty way." He cracked his knuckles and walked up to the demon.

Mizuki shook his head, sorting out everything he had just heard and started laughing. Inu-Yasha paused, a confused look on his face, and Mizuki quickly jumped up the slugged the half-angel across the face. Inu-Yasha was about to strike back out when Mizuki began laughing again, picking up his spear.

"So that explains the dirty fighting! Nice job mate, you almost had me there. If you were as stupid as everyone says you are, I'd be dead." When Inu-Yasha's ears flattened the kappa leaned against his staff, smiling disarmingly. "Hey, it was a compliment. Sort of."

"Who are you?" Sango asked the demon, who just grinned and waved a hand. "Not allowed to tell you, regulations and all, but hells! This is funny!" He was still grinning wildly, chuckling. "So who told ya to come here eh? What was the reason she gave you?"

"None of your business." Inu-Yasha said, getting up. "Now who the hell are you?"

Mizuki was still smiling, but more smugly now. "Not allowed to tell you but if you had any brains in that hollow head of yours you'd figure it out. So what she'd look like?"

"Eh?" Inu-Yasha was becoming quite lost by now.

Mizuki sighed. "Never mind. I'm pretty sure I know why you're here so it doesn't matter anyway. So this is her?" He looked at Kagome. "She's hotter than Kikyou, I'll give ya that. Kikyou was one damn cold bitch."

Inu-Yasha pulled Mizuki back by his spiked hair. "Are you friend or foe? You gonna let us through that fucking portal or are we going ourselves?"

"Hey, watch the coif." The kappa said, batting at the half-angel's claws. "Listen, I'm letting ya through but only because I'm helping a  friend not get in trouble. Now do us all a favor and at least hurt Naraku when he wipes the floor with ya, k?" He thumbed his nose and grinned. "Through that doorway by the stack of useless ciggs. Don't ask." He added.

Inu-Yasha growled a faint 'thanks' and quickly led Kagome and the others into the alleyway where the portal was. Mizuki absently stuck another cigarette into his mouth on reflex as he wondered just what Sesshoumaru was planning to do with them. He chewed absently on the butt of the stick before realizing what he was doing. Swearing he took it out of his mouth, walked back into the now deserted alley and added it to the pile. A cold wind blew through and Mizuki grumbled, leaning back against the wall. If the end of the world was coming, it'd better come damn soon. He was hungry.
