Chapter 3: 600 years ago…
Everybody but Rukia fell to the ground with a crash landing on each other. People were walking around and weren't paying the slightest bit of attention they were there. It was odd because they had an odd blue light that seemed to say they weren't exactly of that world. Nobody seemed to care though…nobody seemed to notice them either.
"What's going on?" Miroku asked with a groan sitting up. Every bone in his body felt like it was broken.
"You're seeing the past from the old Elemental's point of view. He had seen this stuff before and after he had taken the duty of being Elemental," Rukia explained and began skipping down a path.
Inuyasha twitched and stood just as someone passed through him. "Did you see that?" he yelled his eyes wide.
Rukia watched and laughed. "Yeah, right now since none of you have been born your all ghosties."
"Doesn't mean I'm going to like it…," Inuyasha said his heart feeling like it'd explode in his chest.
Kagome patted him on the back then looked at Rukia. "Then how come we can all touch each other?"
"Because your ghosts!" Rukia said.
"Well…this is honestly an experience I can say I never want to have happen to me again!" Sango exclaimed.
"You may want to get used to it," Rukia said. "With something like this happening you may have to visit memories of other people."
"Great…," Sango said sadly.
Miroku hugged her tightly then looked back to Rukia. "Lead us to where we need to go."
Rukia nodded and began walking down alleyways swiftly. "If we don't make it in time we have to start all over," he said.
"Well," Shorin huffed. "Why can't you stop time till we get there?"
"Because we're already messing with time by being here and stopping it would be worse. Think if you stop suddenly and then time starts back up you may stumble and fall. By falling you could kill someone, break something important or kill yourself. That would mean that a part of history could change," Rukia explained. "But, Elemental's have made it so we can at least come here to see what's going on. It was a gamble to begin with but sooner or later we will figure out how to pause time."
"I see," Shorin said. "Sooner or later you will have to tell me what kind of stuff you have to do with that."
"Do you plan to use it?" Rukia asked his eyes narrowing as he kept jogging.
"No!" Shorin said quickly. "It just sounds interesting."
"Right…," Rukia said eyeing him suspiciously.
Shorin looked over. "Well, is that the path!" he exclaimed.
Sango looked over and seen 2 men fighting each other. "Is that supposed to be what's happening?"
The men looked like Inuyasha and Miroku fighting each other. One had the shield and the other didn't. The Inuyasha look alike was slashing towards Miroku using furious sword swiped.
Rukia did a double take looking between them.
"Whoa…," Kagome said.
"The Inuyasha one is Riko and the Miroku one is Kentaro. They're fighting each other to protect the Elemental's," Rukia explained.
Riko leapt towards Kentaro who blocked with the shield.
Miroku seen the Orbs in Kentaro's shield and looked at him shivering.
Riko smirked and slashed with a second blade.
Kentaro back-flipped the sword brushing his chest as the shirt ripped. A small trail of blood appeared slowly dripping blood. Kentaro smiled and sent Riko back with a blast of Wind as Riko crashed into Inuyasha.
"H-Hey, I thought that we passed through things!" Sango said.
"I-I don't know…," Rukia said.
Inuyasha's body slowly went into Riko's as dog ears appeared in him. He stood glaring at Miroku, the real Riko not aware of anything.
"Time for you to hand over the shield!" he said.
"Fat chance…," Kentaro said.
Riko smirked and appeared in front of Kentaro punching him back as Kentaro crashed INTO Miroku.
"A-Again?" Kagome cried.
The same affect happened with Kentaro except he remained the same. What changed was the power of the Orbs. Now he had the power of 16 Orbs!
"H-History…is changing," Rukia said.
