The third chapter of The Demon Within Season Three is now underway! Chihiro and Haku have joined the Protectors of Domino in the fight against a new threat against the city. Also, I forgot to mention...it was mine and my main OC's, birthday yesterday, so we are both 15. So, I'll have Kairi be in a car in later chapters. (throws confetti) Happy late birthday to me! Read on, and enjoy this chapter!

Disclaimer: I own nothing but the story, my OCs, and the saga. Thank you.

Kairi rode upon her jet black horse, Bandit, gripping her sword, which was tucked away in the sheath around her waist. A cowboy hat was placed upon her head, shadowing her eyes. Brian drove alongside her in his black HUMMER, his shotgun by his side. Haku just raced alongside them both, while Chihiro rode in the van. Brian rolled down his window to speak with Kairi.

"Are Inuyasha and Sesshomaru already there?" he asked, placing his elbow on the side of the car. Kairi nodded, and pulled hard on the reins, making her horse rear backward. Chihiro stuck her head out of the back window until the HUMMER jerked back. A man in a red kimono with long, flowing white hair stood in the middle of the road. Atop his head were two white dog ears, twitching when the group came up behind him.

"What kept you guys?" he asked as the group hopped out of the car, Kairi leaping off Bandit. The man then noticed Chihiro and Haku. "Never seen you before. Who are you guys?"

"I'm Chihiro," the girl replied, bowing in greeting. The man bowed back, and then focused his attention to Haku.

"I am known as Haku," the boy introduced, bowing like Chihiro. "Also known as the Kohaku River, but not as often. So, who are you?"

"I'm Inuyasha, a half-demon prince," the man replied, brushing a white lock away from his burning yellow eyes. Another man appeared beside the half demon, dressed in a celestial cloak, a violet crescent moon on his forehead. His eyes were in a cold stare.

"This is Sesshomaru," Yami introduced, the man turning his head away from the group. "Don't mind him. He's always like this." Kairi approached Inuyasha, and was about to speak but stopped. A large creature with four flowing wings appeared in front of them, its crimson eyes glowing evilly. Saliva dribbled from its fanged maw as its eyes rolled hungrily to each of the Protectors. Kairi pulled out her sword, the creature beginning to back away.

"What is that?" Chihiro whimpered as the creature regained its composer, limping straight towards the frightened girl. Haku blocked her away from the creature.

"A demon," was his reply. Joey flexed his fist, activating his Duel Disc, as did Yugi.

"Whatever it is, it has to get by us!" the Brooklyn shouted, pulling out a card from his deck. "I summon Flame Swordsman in Attack Mode!" The swordsman appeared in front of him, gripping the hilt of the red sword that he wielded.

"Attack with Flaming Sword of Battle!" Joey cried, the sword beginning to glow with a bright flame. The monster leapt into the air, and struck the demon, the creature of Hell screaming in agony from the fire. The creature faded, but more staring crimson eyes appeared in its place.

"I think we need a few more monsters," Kairi remarked, holding up her sword. "This is one weird way to spend a birthday..."

What will happen as more demons come into the battle? Find out in chapter four, Calling of the Demons.
