Chapter 9: Friends and New Foes
"Alright Karla let's hit it."
"Right." A bright blue light erupted from Karla's hands and in a flash all six of them were gone.
"Well now I've seen it all." Ryou said aloud as everyone nodded in agreement.
"I propose that we start to form a plan because whoever this 'Lily' girl is she seems to have worried all six of them…and they all have powers." Pegasus told them all.
"For once I'm agreeing with Pegasus." Yugi told them.
"Thank you Yugi-boy."
"…Anyway what's the plan?" Tea asked.
"Well don't Ryou, Bakura, Yugi, Yami Marik, Malik and Pegasus have powers too?" Kaiba asked as everyone turned to look at him in astonishment. "It was a question it doesn't mean I believe in any of this magic crap."
"Well that's a relief I thought for a second there Kaiba was turning normal." Duke said aloud with a huge smile on his face.
"Watch it dice boy or I'll hurt you more than the mutt could." Kaiba sneered.
"Fine."
"…HEY! Did you just call me a 'mutt'?" Joey asked stupidly.
"Well who else mutt?" Kaiba asked Joey with one of his trademark smirks on.
"THAT'S IT RICH BOY!" Joey tried to strangle Kaiba but got held back by Duke, Tristin, Marik and Malik.
Pegasus turned to Tea; "Tea does Joey always act like that?"
"Sadly…yes." Tea gave a long sigh.
"Do Kaiba and Joey EVER cease fighting?" Pegasus asked yet another question.
"Nope. I've tried basically everything to try and stop them from fighting but nothing seems to work…" Tea shook her head, "…It's near impossible to get them to stop fighting."
"Hmm…mind if I try?"
"Go right ahead." Tea told him motioning with her hand towards the 'graceful' fight.
"Joey-boy and Kaiba-boy if you two don't stop your petty squabbling I'll be forced to send you both to the shadow realm so you can spend some 'quality' time together…" that stopped them from fighting, "Now on with the plan…"
----------
"Here we are girls." Karla told them with a hint of pride in her voice.
"Yup. Now let's go and find Inuyasha." Anna told them.
"We may not have to. Look." Sakura pointed to a near by mountain with red clouds above it.
"What about it Sakura?" Chi asked puzzled.
"Well I bet my sword that they are on that mountain." Sakura told them.
"Sakura's right let's go and check it out." Kate told them as she started running towards the mountain.
----------
"INUYASHA!" Kagome yelled as he fell from 100 feet in the air.
"Should we help him Sakura?" Kari asked.
"You guys stand back I need some action." Sakura told them as she summoned her sword and jumped into battle.
"We'd better stay back. I have a feeling Sakura needs to let off some steam." Karla told them as they nodded in agreement.
"Hey dog-boy. Sup?" Sakura asked cheerfully.
"STOP CALLING ME DOG BOY!" Inuyasha yelled at her.
"Why? It's fun to see you so ticked…oh by the way duck." Sakura told him as she herself ducked but when she looked up she saw Inuyasha fly over her head. Sakura sighed; "Well that's enough demon… FIRE TORNADO FULL FORCE!" Sakura exclaimed. The demon was instantly destroyed. A pink jewel dropped from the sky and into Sakura's hand. She felt the power of the small shard and pocketed it. 'It will probably come in handy later.' She thought to herself.
"So what are you six lovely ladies doing here?" Miroku asked them.
"We came to ask for your help." Anna told them.
"HA! Like we'd give it to the like's of you." Inuyasha told them.
"Inuyasha…" Kagome started, "SIT!" Inuyasha dropped to the ground with a loud thump. "Anyway. Why do you need our help? You seem to do fine in battle without us so why ask for help now?"
"Under normal circumstances we wouldn't ask for help but…" Kari started but Anna continued it.
"But Lily is in OUR time. And were more than sure that she brought along some friends…" Anna then got interrupted by Kate.
"Which are more than likely demons of immense strength…" Karla than added in some details.
"We have already got some help on the other side, our time, but I'm afraid that they won't be enough to stop Lily."
"We have done our best to keep her from destroying this world but it just isn't good enough. She just keeps coming back." Chi told Kagome and the rest.
"With more demons and sometimes a stronger power. Kagome. If you don't want our whole civilization to be destroyed we all must work together to defeat Lily once and for all." Sakura finished.
There was a long silence till Kagome broke it; "Well than let's get going."
"I'm all for this idea but how are Sango, Shippo, Kilala and I supposed to get to your time? Because if you haven't forgotten only Kagome, Inuyasha and the rest of you can travel through time." Miroku told them.
"Yes that's true but Karla here can travel through time. That's how we got here." Anna explained.
"Oh I see now…"
"Well were not doing either world any good just standing here. So let's get going." Kagome said yet again.
"Alright. But hold on. I've never taken this many people through time before." Karla told them.
----------
"Alright so we've come to an agreement?" Yami asked everyone in the room. Everyone nodded in agreement. A bright blue light erupted from the center of the room everyone turned to see Chi, Karla, Kate, Kari, Anna, Sakura and some 'people' that they didn't know.
Miroku upon arriving he saw Tea and ran up to her clamped her hands together and asked; "Will you bear my child?"
O.O "Two words: HELL NO!" At that moment she slapped him hard across the face leaving a big red mark.
Sigh "I guess I could always ask other women of this time…" Miroku started.
"MIROKU! This is not the feudal era anymore so if you ask that to one more person I will personally hurt you with all of my fires of hell." Sakura threatened.
Miroku cowered a bit; "Yes ma'am."
"Anyway let me introduce these guys: The guy next to me is named Miroku or the perverted monk, next is Sango she's the girl with the big boomerang, the little guy on her shoulder is Kilala, shorty over there is called Shippo…"
"HEY! I'm not that short." Shippo complained.
"…Zip it, and yes you are. Continuing on; the final girl is named Kagome she's like reincarnated from a priestess named Kikyo. And lastly is Inuyasha or as I call him: Dog-boy." Sakura finished with a smirk.
"SCREW YOU DEMON-GIRL!" Inuyasha screamed at Sakura.
"Inuyasha; Sit boy." Inuyasha fell to the floor but as he got up he got a sharp kick to the groin.
"OH GODS THAT HURT LIKE HELL!" Inuyasha yelled out.
"You deserved it you baka. No one calls me a demon and gets away with it." Sakura told him through clenched teeth.
"Um…" Kagome started wanting to change the subject. "You know our names now what are yours?"
"Joey."
"Tea."
"Duke."
"Yami."
"Yugi."
"Marik."
"Malik."
"Bakura."
"Ryou."
"Tristin."
"Pegasus."
"…Seto but if you call me that I will make sure that you have a slow and painful death. So call me Kaiba."
"Sure thing…Seto." Inuyasha laughed a little as he said that.
Kaiba picked up his briefcase and thwacked Inuyasha on the side of his head causing blood to trickle down the side of his head. "Told you so…dog-boy."
"Here we go again." Sango said aloud.
"Yup." Miroku agreed.
Inuyasha whipped out his Tetsiga a was about to kill Kaiba but thankfully for Kaiba Kagome was there; "SIT BOY!"
"WILL YA STOP DOING THAT?" Inuyasha yelled at Kagome.
"NO! I will not. Besides you deserve it." Kagome replied.
"Stupid humans…" Inuyasha started to mumble profound things about the human race.
"INUYASHA!" Sakura screamed.
"WHAT?"
"Stop saying that about the human race!"
"Why? It's not like your going to do anything about it…stupid demon." Sakura's cheeks flushed red and she looked as though she could stand through a stampeding herd of elephants.
"What did you just call me?" Sakura asked venom dripping from her voice.
"I called you a stupid DEMON."
"THAT'S IT!" Sakura whipped out her sword and called upon her strongest attack and sent Inuyasha right out the open window. "HA!"
"Bitch." Inuyasha mouthed but Sakura heard all the same.
"What did you just say? Come up here and say that to my face." Sakura challenged.
"That's enough." Karla stepped in. "Inuyasha get your ass back up here before someone sees you. And Sakura you go over there…NOW!" Karla never yelled like that but she was getting very agitated with the two's bickering and constant fights.
"Oy. I cannot believe Sakura made Karla that…what's the word…ticked off." Shippo said aloud.
"AHHH! IT CAN TALK!" Tea screamed some more till Kagome finally told her that Shippo was a demon and that he could talk. "Oh…"
"That was mean." Shippo told her with a small pout on his face.
"Aww…" Tea walked over to him and gave him a hug, "I'm sorry."
"Why does Shippo get all the attention?" Miroku asked to know one in particular.
"We need to find you guys a place to stay…but where?" Kate asked.
"Ya. Kate's right. Any ideas guys?" Kari asked.
----------
After a lot of debating they…actually Chi finally thought of a place that they could stay: "The pyramids."
"What?!" All except for Chi exclaimed.
"You heard me the pyramids. I mean why not? It's a perfect place for them to hide."
"True." Yami commented as the rest just nodded their heads.
"Then it's settled. To the pyramids it is." Chi than motioned for them to follow her.
"…Wait how are we all going to get there?" Joey asked.
"Were not all going. It's 12:00 am only Inuyasha, Kagome, Miroku, Shippo, Sango, Kilala and I are. And before you say 'Why you and not us?' it's because I know where to go. And plus I need to do something."
Everyone sighed and agreed. "We can ride on Kilala and Kagome can go on Inuyasha's back." Sango told Chi.
"Um…how?"
"Oh right you haven't seen Kilala's true form well let's go outside and we can all go to these 'pyramids'." Sango explained.
"Alright."
----------
It was a while before they all left to go back to their rooms. Pegasus, Kemo and Croquet were all asleep but on a night like this Sakura couldn't sleep. SIGH "It's great to have so many people fighting on our side…but I don't want any of them to die…and if they do it will be my fault. How would I live with myself if that happened to any of them?" 'I know your out there somewhere Lily…but where? Do you know where I am?' Sakura had let her thought's drift. Later she got her CD player out and began listening to the music gently singing along;
"The words have been drained from this pencil
Sweet words that I want to give you
And I can't sleep
I need to tell you
Goodnight
When we're together, I feel perfect
When I'm pulled away from you, I fall apart
All you say is sacred to me
Your eyes are so blue
I can't look away
As we lay in the stillness
You whisper to me
Amy, marry me
Promise you'll stay with me
Oh you don't have to ask me
You know you're all that I live for
You know I'd die just to hold you
Stay with you
Somehow I'll show you
That you are my night sky
I've always been right behind you
Now I'll always be right beside you
So many nights I cried myself to sleep
Now that you love me, I love myself
I never thought I would say this
I never thought there'd be
You "
'Why does she sing something so sad?' Pegasus thought to himself as he slowly approached Sakura. The door slid open slowly and quietly. "So why are you up so early Sakura-girl?"
Sakura span around; "Don't do that." She snapped at him. Pegasus made himself look hurt Sakura's features softened, "I'm sorry…"
"It's OK." Pegasus smiled at her. "Now tell me what's on your mind."
"Oh. You didn't look?" Sakura asked partly wondering and partly being sarcastic.
"Oh har de har, har Sakura-girl. I may have the power to do so but that doesn't mean I chose to use it." Pegasus told her his smile widening.
"What are you thinking?" Sakura asked in a worried tone.
"Oh nothing." He replied.
-.- "I'm not that dense Pegasus. Now tell me what you were going to do." Sakura asked once again.
"Are you sure about that Sakura-girl?" Pegasus asked her.
"Yes."
"Alright then…I heard you sing. That's why I'm smiling." Pegasus answered truthfully.
Sakura blushed just like she did before. "You heard me sing…again?"
"Yes. And your voice is unique not many people know how to hit that high note." Pegasus smiled at her.
"Cute. But cut it out because you are now going to die." A woman with a feather was floating in the air.
"Who are you?" Sakura asked stepping in front of Pegasus.
"My name…is not of your concern…all you need to know is that I work for Naraku." She replied.
"Who is Naraku?" Pegasus asked.
"Someone you don't EVER want to meet." Sakura answered.
"That's not that good of information you know Sakura-girl." Pegasus stated.
"So?"
"Will you two just SHUT UP for ONE minute…" the woman yelled at them as she cleared her throat, "Any way…now you both must die!"
Sakura whipped out her sword and jumped into the air to try and slice the woman in half. But Sakura only managed to get blown back against the wall leaving a body size dent in the wall. "SAKURA!" Pegasus yelled but it was too loud for the woman heard it.
"Oh yes. I forgot about you… Dice underestimated you. I will not do the same…DIE MORTAL!"
"MIRROR FORCE!" A barrier came in front of Pegasus and deflected the attack back to the woman. She narrowly dodged her own attack. She looked over where Sakura had once been but she wasn't there.
"What? Where is the retched demon?" She spoke to herself.
"Looking for me?" Sakura was on a dragon…or more accurately the Red eyes Black dragon.
"How…how is that possible?" The woman asked.
"You wouldn't believe me if I told you." Sakura smiled for a brief moment than went back to being serious. "Now tell me what your name is…or I'll have my dragon hurt you." Sakura warned her.
"Fine. My name is Kagura of the wind." Kagura explained.
"I will give you to the count of five to get out of here." Sakura told her. "1…2…3…"
"I'll go but trust me demon I WILL come back and I won't be alone…count on it." Kagura then flew into the horizon.
Sakura returned Red eye's to it's card and landed on the balcony only to meet a very curious Pegasus. "And when did you learn how to do that hmm?" Sakura pulled a pink stone out of her pocket.
"This is the reason why I could do that. It's a piece on the Shikon no Tama. It's magic. I got it after I defeated a demon." Sakura told him. "Inuyasha and them have a lot of the Shikon no Tama but Naraku has almost the whole jewel."
"Who is this 'Naraku'?" Pegasus asked again.
"Naraku is an evil demon with the power to change shape, a deceptive villain who will use ANYONE according to his own needs. Naraku caused trouble everywhere he went, the most noted being putting the Wind Tunnel Curse on Miroku's family. When Kagome unintentionally brought the Shikon Jewel back, Naraku began his personal plan to capture the jewel shards, dealing with Inuyasha and company on the way. He managed to get a lot of the Shikon Jewel, thanks to Kikyo. But Kikyo saw that Naraku's true reason for wanting the jewel shards was to become all demon because he still has Onigumo's heart, which both the spider-scar and Naraku's feelings for Kikyo represent. During that time, Naraku had a few failed attempts of removing all human-traces of Onigumo from his body. But at Mt. Haku, Naraku managed to finally become a true demon, transferring his human influence in his latest incarnation, Hakudoushi. However, Naraku still possessed feelings for Kikyo." Sakura finished with a sigh and a long intake of breath.
"So…he is what we are facing?"
"Yes. But we must be ready at anytime. What time is it by the way?" Sakura asked.
"It's 3:45 am." Pegasus answered while looking at the clock that hung on the wall.
Sakura gave a loud yawn; "Well I should TRY and get some sleep."
"Yes you should…Sakura?" Pegasus asked before she went inside.
"Ya?"
"Why did you save me?"
Sakura blushed a bit but it wasn't noticeable, "It was either that or let you die. And I don't think that Croquet or Kemo would ever leave me alone if I let you die." Sakura shrugged a little bit and went back inside to get some sleep.
----------
"Kagura. Kanna has shown me that you have failed." Naraku stated as Kagura came through the door.
"Yes. But it wasn't my fault that she had some dragon at her disposal." Kagura explained.
"Naraku. I have faced Sakura many times but she has never done that before. It must be a new trick of some sort." Lily told Naraku.
"Lily. We may need some 'help' on this."
"I see. I will get right on this." Lily told him.
----------
Pegasus was watching Sakura's sleeping form. She was tossing and turning. '…but why? Should I look into it?' Pegasus thought and soon decided that he should.
SAKURA'S DREAM:
Pegasus is lying on the floor motionless on a dark floor. Sakura is fighting off some type of demon in the background. Sakura's eyes were completely red and she was attacking this demon with her nails and lot's of magic attacks. "So. This is how you fight when you become a TRUE demon. Very interesting. If I had know it only take me killing someone so close to you to become a demon…" The voice sniggered "…I would have done it much sooner."
"Stop…" Sakura breathed trying to get control, "Please stop. I don't want to become a demon. EVER!" Sakura had tears rolling down her eye's as a bright light erupted from her as the figure and the dead Pegasus was no more in this dream Sakura was all alone…
END OF SAKURA'S DREAM
'I see now why she protected me the way she did…but now I know that I must protect her as well…but not from demons…from herself…'
It was about 7:30 am when Sakura woke up. When she looked over at the beds Kemo was still asleep and as was Croquet. 'Man those two could probably sleep through an earthquake.' Than Sakura looked over at Pegasus' bed only to find it empty. 'Wonder where he is…what DOES Cairo look like in the morning? I guess I'll find out.' Sakura thought as she walked onto the balcony in her shorts and tank top PJ's.
It must have been over half an hour before Sakura heard a voice come from the corner; "Beautiful isn't it?"
"Yup." Sakura turned to look at the person the voice was coming from. "So what are you painting?"
"It's a surprise. Now turn back around and do not turn around till I tell you." Pegasus told her.
"Alright." Sakura told him as she turned back around.
A while later Pegasus finally spoke; "Finished!"
"Can I see?" Sakura asked anxiously.
"Come over here and look at it." Pegasus motioned for her to come over to where he was sitting.
Sakura walked over to him slowly still facing morning drowsiness. "Wow. That's…that's…just…wow." Sakura told him not quite sure what to say after all what would you say if you saw yourself on a canvas with Cairo in the background with the sun peeking over the pyramids in perfect toning and paint colouring.
"I take it you like it." Pegasus told her.
"No I don't like it that's why I'm speechless." Sakura told him sarcastically. "So…how long were you painting me? And how long were you out here?" Sakura asked.
"Quite a long time. I was thinking about what to paint when you came out…and I just got inspired I guess." He gave his shoulders a shrug.
KNOCK, KNOCK "Ms. Tao. Ouvrez nous avons beaucoup pour faire aujourd'hui." Mr. Chin's voice called to her.
Pegasus looked at her very confused "And he said…what?"
"He said 'Ms. Tao. Open up we have much to do today.' It's French." (Don't ask me why I made my French teacher speak actual French in this because I honestly don't know why. And I got the translation from a translator site so I'm hoping it's right.)
"Well than you should get dressed and get going." Pegasus told her.
"Right." Sakura went back inside to get changed. "Well I'll see you later." Sakura smiled and went out of the door. She had on short shorts with her deck attached to the side and her cell on the other side. On top she had white tank top with a "FOX" written on it in bubble letters, she also had her sword necklace and her shard of the Shikon no Tama in her pocket of her shorts.
"HEY! Anna wait up." Sakura called to her friend. "I didn't know that you were on this floor."
"Really?"
"Ya. Well any way's who are you sharing your room with?" Sakura asked.
"Tea, Yugi and Yami." Sakura looked sideways at her. "Ms. Brader made the rooms two boys and two girls…or in your case three boys and one girl."
"Oh. Hey when Mr. Chin came to your door did he speak French?"
"Yup. Took me about a minute to figure out what he was saying." Sakura and Anna both laughed.
"Well let's get to the main hall." Sakura told Anna. As Anna nodded in agreement.
It was a while before the teachers stopped talking and Sakura called everyone over: "Guys I have some bad news…Naraku's here."

Alright well this chapter is 3,772 words and seven pages. My bloody hot mail doesn't work nor does my MSN so now I have to use MSN 2 go. So I cannot check my mail or anything. But on the bright side I scored a goal on Sunday :-) and it wasn't on myself. Sorry for the late update.
