Chapter 19

Veil of Darkness

The skies over Tokyo city were now covered in a dark cloud of miasma, but so was the rest of the planet. Seiya Kou, Taiki Kou, and Yaten Kou were looking up at the skies and they were worried. They didn't like the dark powers they were sensing from the cloud that had engulfed the planet.

"What kind of cloud is that?" Taiki asked his comrades.

"I don't know, but I am sensing a horrible power behind it." Yaten answered.

"Could it be Sailor Galaxia?" Seiya asked Yaten.

"No...there is something far more powerful behind this." Yaten replied with a look of concern on his face.

Suddenly the three heard the sounds of footsteps behind them. They turned around and they saw Samui standing there. Samui was looking at them with an observing glaze. "Three men...I wonder...are you the ones you have the light of hope?" Samui asked.

"Who are you?" Seiya demanded as he and the rest of his friends stood ready for anything the demon standing before they could throw against them.

"I am Samui. I have come for the light of hope. Do you have it?" Samui asked as he put his hand on a spiked club that was hidden under the white overcoat he was wearing.

Taiki was looking at their foe, but he noticed a gold bracelet on one of his wrists. "Are you a servant of Sailor Galaxia?" Taiki asked when he saw the gold bracelet.

"No, but I will tell you that Sailor Galaxia has met an unfortunate end at the hands of my master. Now her power is a part of his body." Samui answered.

"Sailor Galaxia defeated! Who is your master?" Yaten demanded while the other members of the Sailor Star lights were shocked by what they had heard.

"He is called Naraku. The soon to be master of the universe, if you have the light of hope; it will be wise of you to hand it over now." Samui threatened.

"Even if we did, we wouldn't hand it over to someone like you." Taiki answered while he prepared himself for a possible battle.

"Then I will help myself to your Star Seeds." Samui said as he aimed his bracelet at one of the Sailor Star lights.

"Don't even think about it!" Yaten shouted as he and his friends quickly transformed into Sailor Star Fighter, Sailor Star Maker, and Sailor Star Healer.

Samui was shocked as he shouted out in surprise "Sailor Senshi! How can this be?" Samui's worried looked turned from concerned to a scornful expression. "No matter I will defeat you all!" Samui said as he pulled out his club. He charged at the three Sailor Senshi. A battle between the Demon and the Sailor Star lights had begun.

Meanwhile back at the Shrine the battle between the demons and the Sailor Senshi were still fighting one another. Jadeite and Rubeus were attacking Tuxedo Mask and Sailor Venus while the Doom Phantom was blasting Sailor Mercury and Sailor Jupiter with bolts of dark energy. Goshinki was busy fighting Sesshomaru and Sailor Mars. Hakudoshi was trying to stab Sailor Venus with his halberd while Minako was trying to strike him with her Venus crescent chain.

Sailor Moon and Kagome were trying to deal with Kanna while Kageromaru and Juromaru were fighting Sailor Neptune and Uranus. Sailor Saturn was joining Sailor Neptune and Uranus to battle the two demonic killers.

"Silent Glaive Surprise!" Hotaru shouted as she sent her the destructive power of her attack towards Juromaru. The white haired demon turned his head and he saw the attack coming. He quickly jumped up into a tree to avoid the attack. Juromaru looked down at his foe. He jumped down and he began running at Hotaru ready to take her down by tearing her apart with his claws.

Suddenly a pair of wind blades passed in front of Juromaru stopping him in his tracks. "Juromaru...I advise you and your better half should leave." Kagura said to her demonic brother.

"Kagura how nice to see you older sister. You I think I will not heed your advice and just eat the insides of Kagome right here and now." Kageromaru said as he launched him at Kagome prepared to stab into her body with his blade-claws and feast on her.

Kagome screamed as she tried to aim an arrow at the incoming demon, and Sailor Moon was running to trying to stop Kageromaru, but Juromaru tackled her. Sailor Saturn was in no position to help Kagome either. Inuyasha was running towards Kagome to try and save her, but he wasn't as fast as he was before he became human.

"Kagome!" Inuyasha shouted as Kageromaru was about to stab into Kagome's body, but suddenly Kageromaru was hit in the jaw by a fast moving object. The object that had struck the demon was a fist. Kageromaru hit the side of Rei's house, but the one who had struck Kageromaru surprised everyone.

"Koga!" Kagome exclaimed.

"Hi Kagome long time no see huh." Koga said to greeted Kagome with a smile.

"Koga what the hell are you doing here?" Inuyasha shouted while he had an unhappy look on his face. Sure Inuyasha was glad that Kagome was saved from Kageromaru, but he wished it was someone else.

"I guess we came just in time, because you weren't protecting Kagome properly." Koga replied to Inuyasha while giving him a scornful expression.

Inuyasha and Koga were about to start fighting one another, but Kagome stopped them when she asked Koga "Wait; what do you mean by we?"

"We didn't come alone." Kagura answered for Koga as she sent a volley of wind blades at Juromaru.

Kagome and Usagi were confused by Kagura and Koga's replies, but they soon knew what they were talking about when a large bone boomerang appeared out of nowhere and hit Hakudoshi in the back just as the demon child was about to stab Minako in the heart. The white haired child was knocked to the ground near Minako where he landed face first. Goshinki noticed what was going on, so he turned his head to see what had attacked his younger brother. It was Miroku and Sango.

Jadeite, Doom Phantom and Rubeus noticed their new foes, but the three were hit from behind by one person shouting "Mercury Shine Aqua Illusion", and another shouting "Dead scream!" But a third voice that sounded more like a child was heard saying "Pink Sugar Heart Attack!" The three villains were knocked to the ground, but they looked behind them to see who had attacked them. It was Sailor Mercury, Sailor Pluto and Sailor Chibi-Moon.

"Ami, Setsuna and Chibi-usa...is that you?" Usagi asked with a confounded look.

"Yep...but you can call me Sailor Chibi-Moon!" Chibi-usa shouted out as she did a typical Sailor Moon pose.

"These poses are beginning to really annoy me." Rubeus said under his breath.

"I agree." Jadeite said as he rose up to his feet.

While Usagi was distracted by the appearance of the others no one saw that Juromaru and Kageromaru were approaching Sailor Moon from behind ready to strike her down. Inuyasha saw the imminent attack coming so he started running towards Sailor Moon while shouting "Usagi look out behind you!" Usagi turned around and she saw the two demons coming to attack her. Usagi quickly used the Tetsusaiga to strike the demons down when she unleashed the Kaze no Kizu on the two demons. Sailor Moon vaporized them in one attack. Sailor Moon was lucky that Inuyasha had warned her when she did, because if she hadn't; then she would have been a goner.

Suddenly Inuyasha was clawed in the back from behind. His shirt was ripped off from the attack, but a nothing tentacle looking blade appeared and it sent Inuyasha flying into a near by tree breaking it into two halves. No one could tell if that blow killed Inuyasha or severely injured him.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome screamed in terror fearing the worst has happened.

But while Kagome was running over to Inuyasha everyone looked up to see who had delivered the blow to Inuyasha. Flying high above the shrine with demonic wings was Mouryoumaru. The others were shocked because they had never seen a demon like Mouryoumaru before, but Ami and Setsuna have.

"Mouryoumaru!" Setsuna shouted.

"But I thought Mouryoumaru need a soul in order to move." Ami said while she tried to figure out how could Mouryoumaru be moving.

The demon had an evil smile as its arms became a pair of long blade like tentacles that stretched downward towards the Sailor Senshi. Mouryoumaru was attacking random members of the Sailor Senshi, but his attacks missed each time. However because the Sailor Senshi were distracted by Mouryoumaru's attacks; Jadeite and the others were able to attack their foes while they were busy dealing with Mouryoumaru. Jadeite blasted Sailor Mercury in the chest with a sphere of energy and the Doom Phantom electrocuted everyone else with bolts of dark energy.

Everyone else dropped to the ground from the Doom Phantom's attack. Goshinki and the rest of his comrades were smiling. "I don't know who that demon is, but he just helped us insure victory for the rest of us." Goshinki said with a dark smile that showed all of his fangs.

"I say we finish them all off right now!" Hakudoshi said as he raised his halberd ready to behead the nearest Sailor Senshi.

Meanwhile in the air Mouryoumaru was flapping his wings to stay up, but while the demon was grinning a thought passed through his mind "At last my time for revenge against the Senshi has come."

A/N: sorry if the battle kinda sucked this chapter, but it will be better next chapter.
