Hi, here's the profile for Kage who will take over Draikiel in this chapter. And another thing: I'm going to put some Japanese words and I think ancient language from Eragon here. I'll put the meanings in parenthesis.

I'm not writing anymore titles, they're starting to annoy me…

Name: Kage (which I think means shadow in Japanese) Tsukishiro

True Age: 1514 (yes, he's reincarnated)

Age now: 15

Eye color: right bluish-silver left red (I'll explain the red eye later on in the description I'm giving)

Hair: silver short and spiky (which is in a messy style) and covers his left eye

Skin: a fair pale where it doesn't look sickly pale or vampire pale

Wears: black poncho (no shirt, just like Hao!) with black baggy pants with lots of pockets and has chains and zippers and wears three black leather belts: first belt has a blue dragon design on it; second has a silver wolf design and the third has a red dragon… (Wears it like Hao!) Has two silver ear clips (like Hakkai in Saiyuki) on his left ear

Personality: quiet strong loner distant type that is fiercely loyal to the people that have managed to gain/earn his trust and will protect them no matter what if needed, doesn't really trust anybody

Weapon: a black gold-ended staff with one of BlackWarGreymon's attack claw on top of it (left hand) and a sword with BlackWarGreymon's head as the handle and the hilt is protected with the Shield of Courage (A.K.A WarGreymon's wing thingy) (right hand)

Spirits: a black dragon (Hirador) (looks like Shadow in Zoids), a blue dragon (Saphira) (looks like Specula form Zoids), a red dragon (Ambient) (looks like Ambient in Zoids) and a white wolf that has a scar on its right eye (Ari)

Attacks & abilities: Hirador, Saphira, Ambient and Ari combine to bring forth Shruikan the Black War God of Destiny (He looks like BlackWarGreymon from Digimon 02) (when he summons Shruikan his red eye is revealed and both his eyes glow, having one bluish-silver eye and one red eye is the only way he is able to summon Shruikan and use his powers if he had only one of the eye color he wouldn't be able to summon Shruikan). Dark Terra Force (Shruikan), uses talismans to control shamans and ghosts, levitate

Intelligence: very intelligent but uses it for very 'different' ideas

Likes/Wants: Strong Shamans, to have the Shaman king under his command

Dislikes: Humans, worthless shamans

Disclaimer: I don't own SK only Ianna, Kage, Aridas, etc.

Same Ground Ch. 5

ooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Draikiel was no more. Kage had completely taken over Draikiel's body and had a few shamans under his command (of course with the help of the talismans). Now that the first stage of his plan was achieved, he went on to the second plan: to test the shaman king. He was now on his way to Yoh along with his group and his faithful follower (who wasn't under the power of the talisman), Arget (silver). He looked like a kid, even though he was 14. "Kage-sama (Lord Kage), are we there yet?" Arget asked. "Almost there, my friend, almost." Kage said as they were traveling on Shruikan (who is like, ten times bigger than the Spirit of Fire). Kage went to many far places to get as many shamans under his command. Kage commanded Shruikan to land near a mountain. They both got off (the rest stayed on Shruikan) and started walking down. "Kage-sama, what are we going to do now?" Arget asked. "That traitor Asakura must've already told them of me, Arget. We'll face them soon enough, but not yet. I still have to test the young king Asakura and his brother. Either way, the prophecy cannot come true." Kage replied. "How will you test the Asakuras, Kage-sama?" Arget asked. Kage thought for a while. "Hmm…I don't think they're ready for me yet. Go send the Maru brothers as fast as you can. I need to do something." Kage decided. "Hai (yes), Kage-sama." Arget said, quickly going back up the mountain.

Kage continued walking down until a huge plateau came into view (I know, weird). He turned, and without using his powers, jumped twenty feet into the air, landing on top of a grassy plain. He soon heard the sound of wings. When he turned around, he saw Ambient, the leader and the strongest of the two other dragons (Hirador and Saphira). He was in his medium. (It looks like an Organoid (Ambient (Chaotic Century) in particular) from Zoids) "Doushita Ambient?" (What's wrong Ambient?)Kage questioned in thought. (Ambient, the other dragons and Ari speak by thought) It is this place, my lord. It has an unearthly aura. "Don't worry, everything's going to be fine, I assure you." Kage stated. Ambient was not eager to comply, but didn't say anything. Alright then. I will go back to my brother and sister. Ambient said as wings materialized from his back. He then flew away. Kage lied down on the grass and looked up into the sky. He sighed. "…Soon, Asakura, you will be mine… I promise you that…"

Two days later, Aridas waited at Funbari Hill. A strong wind blew intensively: a storm was coming soon. Then a grey fox came into view. Did you manage to get anything, Ianna-dono? Aridas asked. The fox (as in Ianna) shook her head. She then transformed back into her original form. "I guess we should go back and wait for the message to come." Ianna said. This one thinks so too. Let us go now; a storm is coming. Aridas complied. Ianna agreed and headed back to the Onsen with Aridas following her.

Yoh looked out through the window. Suddenly it began to rain heavily. Yoh sighed. "Ame (Rain)… I hope Ianna and Aridas are okay…" Thunder roared and lightning crackled in the distance. Then Ianna burst through the door, soaking wet. Aridas just went through. Ianna ignored Yoh and passed him. Did anyone come by Yoh? Aridas asked. "No. I doubt anyone's going to pass by in this storm." Yoh replied. Where's Anna-dono? Aridas asked. Yoh's eyes were shadowed but did not say anything. Aridas understood and joined the rest of the ghosts. (Namely Amidamaru, Mosuke, Bason, Tokageroh (yes, Tokageroh), Mic, Corey, Ponchi and Konchi)

As Ianna came into the kitchen Len, Horo, Tamao, Hao, Chocolove and Morty looked at her and just continued eating breakfast. "Good morning Anna-dono, you're soaking wet!" Rio said, mistaking her for Anna (it's the first time he came there in a long time and the others didn't tell him). Hao 'choked' on something and was coughing hard and pounding his chest: he knew Ianna was not in a good mood and she didn't like to be called her sister. She slapped Rio with the legendary left (much harder than Anna though). "I thought Anna was quick to anger, but this is ridiculous!" Morty thought. "I HEARD THAT SHORTY! EVERYBODY STOP EATING! SHORTY, CLEAN THE FLOORS! TAMAO, START GETTING THE DISHES AND CLEAN THEM! BOROBORO (I'm so mean) (Crap), CLEAN THE TOILET; I KNOW YOU MADE A WHOLE OF SHITLOAD OF CRAP THERE! LEN, GET THE GROCERIES! RIO, DO THE LAUNDRY! CHOCOLOVE, CLEAN THE HOT SPRINGS! Well… GET TO IT! CHORES WON'T DO THEMSELVES YOU KNOW!" She yelled. They quickly did what they were told (Though in their minds they were saying "Ugh, this is too much! She's so mean she's making Anna look kind…"). "Hmm… I wonder why she didn't let me do anything…" Hao wondered. "Unless you want me to, I will." She said in a cold yet very kind voice. "A-ah, n-no, I-I d-don't w-want t-to… T-that's j-just f-fine…" he stuttered as he ran out of the kitchen.

A few hours later, the storm subsided. Aridas quickly went through the wall, finding a huge dragon spirit in front of him. Griffyn of the Gray Wing Clan and the Guardian of the Fortress of the White Dragon Ra. This one's old guardian ghost and most precious friend. What is your business here? Aridas questioned. Ah you flatter me too much and please, just call me Griffyn because I no longer have the title of the guardian. I have gathered information about Kage Tsukishiro that you and your allies might want to know. I see you also have become one with the spirits. Griffyn replied. Alright, then. Come on in. Aridas motioned him to come in. Griffyn shrunk to a more considerable size and flew in.

"So what's the news?" Yoh said as he got up and cleared his pants of all the dust. (Griffyn came in so fast that he knocked Yoh to the ground shocked) I am here to inform you that Kage acquired a total of five guardians. He acquired the dragon of darkness, water, fire and an old white battalion wolf- Griffyn began. "But that's only a total of four spirits!" Morty interrupted. Ahem, I was getting to that, Short one! When the four combine they become Shruikan the Black War God of Destiny. Griffyn finished. "That's not good. I heard that Shruikan destroyed as much as 100 billion people, including shamans, with a single attack!" Morty exclaimed. You are wrong. An unknown shaman with an unspeakable amount of furyoku did that. But because of that incident the shaman was destroyed and Shruikan was halved into the four spirits but the reason is unknown. Since Kage found the four spirits he can unleash that power and destroy the world. Griffyn explained. "Is there any way to seal him back?" Hao asked. There are three ways: one way is already told in the prophecy, the other is summoning the White Dragon Ra, but that is rather impossible now as he is sealed in the depths of time and space due to the incident of mine, and the other is simply destroying the shaman that bears the spirit. Griffyn said.

Suddenly a white tornado hit the Onsen, practically sweeping everybody out of the Onsen. "Looks like we got them, Shinmaru!" said a voice near the Onsen. "Who are you?" Yoh called out to the voice. Then two shamans jumped out. "I am the tiger thief, Qingmaru!" the first one said lashing out his whip. "And I am the wolf ninja, Shinmaru!" the second one said unsheathing his sword. "And together we are the Shining Predators!" they said together. "Ugh, these shamans are making Chocolove's jokes look funny…" Len sweatdropped as he took a step with Bason in the Kwan Dao. "Ho-ho, stay where you are, my pointy-haired friend!" Qingmaru said. "We only came here to see Asakura #1," Shinmaru said pointing to Yoh. "And Asakura #2!" Qingmaru said pointing at Hao. "If they came here to see us," Yoh said unsheathing Harusame. "Then we'll see them right to us!" Hao said finishing Yoh's sentence (which is very, very disturbing, might I add). Yoh performed double medium while Hao put the Spirit of Fire into his sword and went into attack stance. "Are you ready, Shinmaru?" "I've been waiting for eternity! Rogamaru, into the sword!" Shinmaru's spirit, Rogamaru, appeared. He put him into his sword, which now looked like a glowing purple sword with a wolf with a moon tattoo on its head as a handle. Qingmaru's spirit, Tigamaru, also appeared. Qingmaru put him into his whip that now looked like a glowing white whip (typical). Without hesitation, they attacked. "White Tiger Tornado!" Qingmaru lashed his whip, making a tornado. Then a white tiger with blood-red eyes emerged from the tornado. "Roga Sun and Moon Sword!" Shinmaru jumped up into the air and shot out a beam. Then a wolf with a moon tattoo appeared from the beam howling. The tornado surrounded Yoh hitting him at all sides. The wolf shot out at Hao and knocked him down with a towering force. Yoh quickly hit the tornado and did a quick Celestial Slash to Qingmaru while Hao got up and slashed Shinmaru upwards. Both the Asakura brothers and the Maru brothers doubled back. "They are stronger than we thought!" Qingmaru said to his brother. "Well let's not waste Kage-sama's opportunity and start the real game!" Shinmaru said as he put his sword in front of Qingmaru. Qingmaru lashed his whip with Shinmaru's sword and…

ooooooooooooooooooooooooo
