Chapter 6- the road block
Nightfall had soon came apone them once more. "Damn it, just not enough hours in the day anymore" Taker grumbled as he sat near the fire with Sara. "You said it would take a day Matt!"
Matt raised his hands in defence. "Whoa, I said at least a day! How am I suppose to know how far away we are?" he shot back.
"Lord Sesshoumaru, maybe you, Rin and I should just take Ah and Un and leave them be, they are all a waste of space!" Jaken stated.
Jericho was the first to whack him on the head. "Hey we made a trade remember, I'm your lord now! And It's Lord Jericho!"
"Koga, your name isn't Jericho," stated Ginta.
"Well it is now assclown!"
Ginta looked to his friend Hakkaku. "Uh, do you know what a clown is?" he asked Hakkaku.
"No idea, perhaps it a new type of demon?"
"Oh can it!" Kane growled to them. "Jeeze the longer we're here, the more we become the characters!" he discovered.
"Nnooo! Really!" Edge shot back in a sarcastic tone. "Oh God… Oh God no… I CAN'T BE A FOX!"
"You look like a squirrel" smirked Carlito.
"No one asked you!" Edge yelled back.
Carlito smirked. "I can take you, that's cool! And I can take you, and you and you!" Carlito stated as he pointed to Kane, Jericho and Taker.
Taker looked to everyone. "Do we HAVE to make sure everyone gets out of here alive?" he asked Matt.
Carlito kept his mouth shut. "Good idea at the moment, right now we need to be sure the well thing works. If not… Gah! I can't stand wearing a schoolgirl uniform constantly!" Trish sighed.
Lita was quite as everyone talked about being stuck in here, she patted Kilala to keep her nerves at ease. "Well, why don't we start looking at the positives? We should be close to the well, and if it doesn't work. I know we can find a way out of here" Lita stated in a calm tone.
Kane sighed. "Yeah, I miss playing my X-Box you know?"
Matt nodded. "I miss my website and message board"
Edge looked to the ground, kicking a small pebble with his fox like feet. "I miss my shoes"
Taker nodded. "I want my left arm back. Do you have any idea how weird it is not to have a left arm? Damn"
Kane smirked. "You can always take one," he said. The Deadman looked to Kane with an odd look. "Yeah, you can kill a demon and take its arm. Simple as that, I saw that episode. And I know Sesshoumaru took the arm of a dragon. That was pretty nifty!"
Jericho looked up at the stars. "But you got to admit, it's cool being like this. I mean, how many people can become anime characters?" he asked them.
"At least you all have a power! I don't" Sara sighed, but a nudge from Ah and Un made her smile. "Oh besides the fact that two headed dragons like me" she laughed as she patted them.
Taker smirked yet he sighed aloud. "I don't even know all my powers, what good am I in this place?" he asked.
Kane nodded. "I haven't even used the windscar once!"
Jericho agreed as well. "I don't even know what I am capable of… besides the fact I got two jewel shards in my legs"
"What the hell? Why would you have those?" Taker demanded.
Taker quickly got a crash course on the Shikon jewel, which is able to make demons stronger. Koga has two in his legs to make him run a lot faster. "If I didn't have them I would be as useful as Shippo" he joked.
Edge just snarled at him, he wasn't in the mood to fight over the fact he didn't choose to be a fox demon. The meal of the night was fish once more by an open fire. Sara fed Ah and Un some of her and tasty grass clippings. Lita fed Kilala some of her meal.
Kane leaned back and looked to the sky. "Well, here's to tomorrow that we all go home back when everyone wears shoes!" he called aloud.
"Here, here!" Agreed Jericho.
"And socks!" Taker muttered as he glared at his boots. "Something tells me full blooded demons don't wear socks"
Jericho raised his foot to Taker. "Does it look like I am wearing any?" he questioned.
"Ew, but that down. You're making Carlito sick to his stomach!"
Taker glared at him. "You think this is gross. What me kill a demon instantly, and slice it down the middle as it's blood and guts go all over the place!" Taker shot back.
Carlito looked ill once more. "That's no cool"
"Oh it will be when you do it yourself!" Matt smirked.
Everyone closed their eyes for only a moment, when they opened them it was morning once more. "Ok move them out!" Taker called as he led the charge down the road.
The path they took had become quiet, way to quiet. Taker withdrew Tokigen, the most powerful sword in his arsenal. Kane sensed something wrong too. "Kane, get Tetsusaiga ready" Taker ordered.
Kane stood there shocked. "How did you know it was called that?" Kane asked.
"No time, get it out now!"
Kane pulled out the Tetsusaiga. He stood by Taker's side when a pungent smell came towards them. "Why is that farmiller?" Kane asked.
Taker didn't know, but the smell was farmiller to him too. Out of the woods came what reminded of the band of seven! One had a big ass sword, another breathed fire and the last wore claws on his hands.
"Did you honestly think you could forget about us? Or avoid the band of seven completely?" demanded the one who spat fire.
"That's Renkotsu" Matt whispered.
Kane smirked. "It was worth a shot" Kane replied back.
"Blood, blood on my claws, all of their blood!"
"Guys that's Suikotsu, watch out for him." Matt called out again.
"While we're on the subject care to tell us the name of the last guy!" Taker yelled.
The last of the band of seven spoke. "I am Bankotsu. And none of you have a chance. I have heard of you Sesshoumaru. So much about you, and the fact you are helping your ill breeded brother is touching…"
"ILL BREEDED!" Kane yelled out. "Oh that's in! WINDSCAR!" Kane bellowed out as he sent a surge of energy from his sword. It tore up the ground in front of him, but by the time it reached its target, the three men had dodged the attack. "Ah hell" Kane sighed.
Kane didn't see Bankotsu coming off the side of him. Trish reached for her arrows and bow. "KANE SIT!" she yelled as Kane plunged face first into the ground causing Bankotsu to miss.
"YES! I got to see it!" Jericho cheered. Yet much to everyone's shock, Bankotsu was the first to go. Trish fired her arrow right at him. Her arrow went right through his mouth! Turing Bankotsu to ashes.
"DAMN!" stated Carlito. "That's a hell of a shot!"
Trish smirked. "What, and you thought I would let those two have the fun?" Trish had her bow ready once more, poised to strike. Kane finally pulled himself from the ground when Taker used Tokigen. He incinerated Suikotsu. All what reminded now was Renkotsu.
"Come out, come out, where-ever you are!" Taker sanged aloud. Fire soon engulfed their surrounding; Renkotsu emerged from the flames ready to do battle. "The great Sesshoumaru. It's truly is a pleasure!"
"You can call me Taker"
"I rather not, for when I am done with you. I will destroy every one of your little friends, staring with the girl!" Renkotsu pointed to Sara!
Taker felt something in him snap, no one. And he means NO ONE threatens his wife. He dropped Tokigen as he felt off to his knees.
"Matt… what's… happening… to… me!" He called out as he felt the sensation spread across his body.
"Uh, Taker. You're reverting to your demon form!" Matt called out. Taker watched as his hand exploded into a large paw, he felt himself growl and grow larger and larger.
Sara couldn't believe it. "Oh my God" she whispered. Taker had transformed into Sesshoumaru true from! The reminder of the band of seven tried to attack yet none was harming him. Much to everyone's shock. Taker picked up Renkotsu and chewed him up. A jewel shard fell from his mouth as Renkotsu disappeared into Taker's jaws.
"Remind me never to piss Taker off while we're in this place" Kane whispered. They watched as with a swift movement, the fire was put out. Slowly, the Deadman returned to normal. And passed out on the ground.
"Mark!" Sara called as she ran to his side.
"Give him room girl!" Jaken ordered. "Master, are you ok?"
Taker's head rolled back and forth. "I feel like I ate something bad…" he moaned.
"Well, I think so you…" before Jaken gave him the full details. Kane grabbed him and covered his mouth.
"It must have been that fish from the other night" Kane filled in.
Taker got himself off the ground. "Yeah, perhaps it was. Oh" he moaned as his stomach gargled in pain. "Let's keep going then"
Sara turned to everyone and mouthed 'not a word' as they continued on their way…
