The second chapter of The Demon Within Season Two: Breaking Free is now underway! Since no one reviewed for the first chapter, I decided to add a few familiar faces from my previous saga, and a new face as well. Who could it be? Read on, and find out!

Disclaimer: I own nothing but the story and the idea. Kilnorc owns his OC, Brian. Thank you.

The man and the suit of armor made their way into the city, trudging through the cold, freezing snow. Behind them, a man wearing a red kimono with a sword tucked away in a brown sheath silently but swiftly followed the two. In front of the trio was a very familiar landmark: the Kame Turtle Game Shop, a fire glowing inside the building.

-Inside-

A knock on the door was heard, the fire's glow greeting the Protectors cheerfully. Yami stood up, and walked over to the door. He smiled as the three figures made their way into the shop, the suit of armor shivering.

"Come on, Alphonse," the first man whispered to the armor. "It isn't that cold out there."

"I disagree, Edward," the second man replied, his yellow eyes glowing like the fireplace. "The news reporter said that it would get to around the freezing levels during the rest of the night."

"Hey, guys!" Kairi greeted cheerfully, smiling. "Long time, no see!" The second man bowed, a soft smile upon his face.

"So, how have you been, shorty?" Joey joked with the first man, who got very ticked off. He lifted Joey off his feet, and began to spin him around wildly, screaming. The armor, known as Alphonse, or Al, chuckled a bit.

"So, how are Kagome and Shippo, Inuyasha?" Yami asked the second man, who had white dog ears atop his white hair. Edward, or Ed, had stopped spinning Joey around.

"Oh, they're fine," the half-demon replied as Joey stumbled around, dizzy.

"Man, that little guy can take an insult," the blonde muttered, only to find himself in the clutches of Ed Elric once more. "HEY!" The others laughed while Lukara stared out the window. Brian noticed this, and walked over to him.

"Something's out there," the knight whispered quickly. "I can feel it."

"What could it be? A demon, or a vampire?" Brian inquired.

"Could be a combination of the two," Lukara replied, staring out the window again as snow fell onto the windowsill.

Who could be out to transform one of the Protectors? Find out in chapter three!
