Kyu! I'm so sorry I've gotten lazy lately. Lemme spell it out…I began writing the chapter on my laptop which froze up and died because it didn't recognize the charger so I can't charge it. SO I didn't want to rewrite the whole chapter but I guess I'm going to have to. Aww, it was a long one too. (pout)

Disclaimer: Woot! I have 90 reviews! And I don't even own the anime!

Chapter Twenty-six

"M-my sister?"

Touya smiles devilishly, causing Malia to shiver. The girl before them smiles as well, nodding her head in recognition. Clearly she isn't taking this seriously. I find out she's my sister and all she can do is nod? She steps back as Touya comes closer to her, smile gone. His eyes are…sad. Malia glances down at the floor, considering her options. There aren't many. Try running or wait it out and figure out what he has to say. And as he looks up at her again, it all becomes clear.

"You…"

"Yes me, Malia. Don't sound so surprised. Weren't you suspicious when I was the only one who came back? They even got the great Urameshi and I'm nothing compared to him."

"You…"

"Yes, Malia: me. I am a demon, and appearances can be quite deceiving, for I'm more than twice your age. So therefore it is quite plausible that I loved your mother very much, and was furious when she left for the mortal."

"I cannot believe you. I trusted you…we all did."

"I wanted to kill her at first, when she ran off with the mortal and became pregnant with you. But then I noticed your powers and came to the conclusion that you were my child, and not his."

"No!"

"Yes! Now, please, stop being so interrupting. I took your sister at birth, but lost her. She was raised evil, but has…refined her ways."

Malia shakes with rage, her fear and sanity gone. Now is a time for hatred; for revenge. But as Touya grabs her shoulders and pulls her close, she sees that he is crying. It breaks her down completely. The girl behind her walks slowly up and comforts him. Malia glances at her briefly.

They are twins, as Kurama had suggested earlier in this fiasco. There are a few minor details: Malia's eyes are darker than her twin's, and her twin has fresh highlights in her hair that is otherwise exactly the same as Malia's.

"What's your name?" Malia questions, curious.

"Kairi."

"Well Kairi, it's been nice meeting you but we have some differences to settle."

WHACK! Malia sends Kairi flying half-way across the room with a fantastic punch to the face. Composing herself, Kairi flies back.

"You tried to kill my friends!"

"Shut up!"

"Why don't you make me!"

The twin squabble continues, until Kairi explains that they were just a trap to lure the girls there, so they could be separated.

"Where are they now?"

"The dungeon, where else?"

"I'm leaving."

"Wait!" Kairi grabs her wrist. "There's lots of traps in the dungeons. Pits, snakes, eels, needles, arrows—the usual."

"…"

"What?"

"MY FRIENDS ARE IN THAT DUNGEON YOU SICKO!"

"DON'T BLAME ME IF YOUR FRIENDS ARE STUPID ENOUGH TO WALK INTO A DUNGEON WITHOUT KNOWING THEIR ENEMIES!"

The two run out of the room, leaving a confused but somewhat happy Touya behind.

With Vanessa and Nissi

"LAND!"

"Vanessa…it wasn't that bad."

"Speak for yourself. I never want to see another thing of stairs for the rest of my life."

"…Me too."

The two tense suddenly as they hear several footsteps behind them. Turning they see a group of demons who were most definitely not there to offer refreshments. Grinning slightly, they jump off, eager to attack. Nissi takes her place on the ground while Vanessa pulls out her bat. (a/n: Always useful. )

The demons seem to be made of dirt: easy targets. Thus, it is in overconfidence that Vanessa is quickly taken by four of the dirt-demons. She screams as loud as humanly possible, hoping that they will scatter but sure enough they have no ears and cannot hear. Her bat flies from her hand and lands halfway across the room, way out of reach. As one of the demons prepare to slice her head off, she panics and scratches them with her nails.

It screams as loudly as she did and scrambles off, blood pouring from its otherwise dirt body. And poor, astonished Vanessa takes a look at the nails which have caused the demon so much panic. They have grown. In amazement Vanessa stares not at her regular, short nails but two hands worth of six inch silver claws. O.0 Needless to say, she is very happy.

Nissi, on the other hand, is struggling a bit. Without something to touch she cannot climb away from the demons, which as we know is very bad. But as an idea comes to her mind she finds that if she concentrates all of her energy to her fists, even if they do not touch the demons, the energy still punches them. Soon, they go flying.

Between Vanessa's and Nissi's power the dirt-demons are very soon demolished and (a/n: OMG! DON'T DO THAT! THE FREAKING MEDIA PLAYER JUST STARTED PLAYING THE INUYASHA THEME…SCARED THE HECK OUT OF ME!) the two girls are very much suspicious of foul-play. They sprint back down the stairs like they aren't even there and head for the dungeon, a sneaking suspicion that all the action is down there.

With Olivia and Meagan

"Meagan, look! A light!"

The two nearly kill each other to reach the light. The passageway behind the floating torch is very small and only allows one person to go through: one in front of the other. Meagan grabs the light and walks in, Olivia following. Meagan doesn't notice the little circle sticking up from the ground, walks directly on it, and smashes it halfway into the floor. Olivia, also not noticing the button, steps on it and pushes it the rest of the way into the ground, following after Meagan. It is only when they are halfway through the very long passage that they notice…a small rumbling…

"Meagan…what is that?"

"I dunno. It'd be really cliché to find out that we hit a secret switch and activated all these traps."

The two stare at each other, fearfully.

"Sounds like something we would do, doesn't it?"

"It most certainly does, Calismo. It most certainly does."

"I suggest we run."

"And I second the suggestion. After you?"

"No, no—after you. I insist."

"Very well."

With two very loud screams and a WOOSH! the two begin running as a massive assault of arrows and needles come raining down on them. Many miss their mark, but then again, many do not. By the time the walls begin closing in Meagan and Olivia are covered in blood.

"The walls are closing in!"

"No dip Sherlock! Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that much!"

"Watch it Meg—I can kill you faster if you'd like."

"Use your freaking cloud!"

"Wait—why don't you just teleport us?"

"I can't!"

"Why the heck not?"

"I'm so cold! My powers must not work in the cold!"

"Oh that's just great. Prepare to be lifted, then."

Concentrating all she can on escaping, Olivia lifts the two of them up with her cloud, hoping her powers don't run out any time soon. An arrow swings out of nowhere, hitting Meagan square in the chest. She pulls it out quickly, blood pouring down her front.

"Crap!"

Another arrow follows, this time hitting Olivia. She does not bother pulling it out though—it would take away from her concentration. The cloud slowly builds up speed and swings out of the opening just as a boulder from above crashes into them, splitting into a million pieces. The cloud disappears and the two Destinies go flying, crashing into the opposite wall with a sickening sound of cracking bones.

"Meagan, you okay?"

"As okay as I can be—my leg is broken."

"My legs are fine, it's my collarbone. Dang it—that's the second time."

Much to Olivia's surprise, Meagan starts laughing. She laughs and laughs until she is doubling over with the pain of laughter and the jolts in her leg. A smile grows on Olivia's lips, as well as Meagan's.

"I'd laugh with you but I'm kind-of stuck in a cage and I don't like that at all."

Meagan and Olivia freeze as they hear such a familiar voice. "Y-yusuke?"

"Of course it's me. Now get us out of here."

Meagan, channeling all her anger and rage over what had just happened—though it doesn't seem like she'd have too much, as she'd just been laughing—punches the door open swiftly. Good to see I can still punch. They rush over to the boys, who are not as bloody as they are but still thoroughly messed up.

"It was Touya," Kuwabara shouts as he steps out after Kurama.

"W-what? But we left Touya with Malia!"

"YOU LEFT HIM WITH THE ONE PERSON HE WANTS TO KILL!"

"STOP YELLING AT US WE DIDN'T FREAKING KNOW!"

Kurama clears his throat and two fuming Destinies and a Yusuke look at him angrily. "We need a plan."

There you guys have it—I have updated! Yay, update! Sorry for the wait, it must have killed you guys. But I didn't do it on purpose…after the first day. Next chapter to be up soon!
