Werecat Rei: Yes the torment of my dreaded cliffhangers! Mwhahahahaha! I shall do more!

Chapter 13: Light VS Dark

BlahThinking

BlahChange of scene or point of view.

"Goku, Gojyo, Sanzo, Hakkai!" Snowfire Fox yelled as she saw them drive up.

"What?" Hyo muttered. He stared at Gojyo in surprise. He never saw anyone who could look like him. The cold voice of Nero came back to him about killing the ones that looked like them. Kujo, Xaid, and Yuki were just surprise as well.

"So you're the ones were supposed to kill!" Kujo blunted out. Hyo hit him over the head and sighed.

"Kill? We didn't do nothing to you!" Gojyo said. He glared at his dark self in defiance.

"Who cares… If Nero wants them dead then let's kill them," Yuki muttered.

"I'll shoot you before I let you kill me," Sanzo retorted.

"This is bullshit! How the Hell did Nero get you to take orders form him? It's all his fault we had to come here in the first place!" Snowfire Fox yelled.

"It was that damn Grandma's fault…" Sanzo muttered.

"Now… now… Let's not place the blame on anyone," Hakkai said.

"Yes it would seem we have a dilemma here. Whether or not to kill you," Xaid said.

"We stick to Lord Nero's orders. What he says is law," Hyo ordered. He pulled out his Shakujo, which was black with a silver crescent blade and rushed at Gojyo. Both parties brought out there weapons and rushed into battle against each other. Each was paired up with their counterparts and deep into the moment. Goku and Kujo were moving throughout the battlefield blocking each other's attacks. Sanzo and Yuki were both behind trees and were trying to shoot each other from afar. Chi blasts filled the clearing as Xaid and Hakkai were trying to waste each other's chi in order to get past the shield each of them held up. Hyo and Gojyo were tangle in knots from the Shakujos hitting each other out of the way. And poor Snowfire Fox was on the edge of the clearing wondering if to interfere or not. She watches the four intense fights in the clearing and hoped for the best.

Nina's POV

Nina was tidying up the campground where they have stayed for the last few nights. Since there was no way to check up on the others, Nina got worried about how they were doing. She put out the campfire and got up off the ground and brushed herself off.

"Michiru! Michiru! Where are you?" Nina called out.

"I'm sleeping… Leaver me alone…" Michiru muttered from above. Nina looked up and saw Michiru lying down on a branch in a tree.

"You stupid Baka! We got to get moving before those demons come around again," Nina sighed.

"I want Dragon…" Michiru muttered.

"Well Dragon isn't here so you have to deal with it. Here you are sleeping in a tree while Snowfire Fox and the gang go risk their lives to stop Nero!" Nina yelled.

"Leave me be…" mumbled Michiru.

"Ok that's it!" Nina said crossly. Nina grabbed her staff and hit the tree with it breaking the tree in two. Michiru felt the tree cracked beneath her and jumped out of the tree as it came crashing down.

"You crazy…" Michiru stopped in mid-sentence and looked behind Nina. "We got some friends." Nina turned around and saw the group of demons behind her.

"Well lookie here. It's the wenches that hang out with the Sanzo Party. Let's eat them…" one of the demons said.

"Grr… We really don't have time for trash like you," Michiru said.

"I would shut up little girl. Your Sanzo isn't here to protect you," another demon said.

"Little girl… Grr… When did I need that bastard priest to protect me. I'll show you little girl!" Michiru yelled. She summoned her sword and rushed at the demons ahead of her. Nina, while sighing, did the same as well.

Gojyo's POV

Gojyo panted as he blocked another attack from his dark self. The clash after clash of metal against each other was getting tiring and he could see Hyo tiring as well. Gojyo made the Shakujo slice under Hyo and tried to stop his up scale attacks. Both of them fell to the ground as Hyo tried to do the same thing. The glares they gave off were deadly as they stood there panting. The exhaustion was starting to get to Gojyo and he fell on knee to the ground. He glanced around the battlefield only to see the rest of his friends were just as worn out. Friends… He considered them friends now… Even the stupid monkey was a friend. Gojyo laughed at the thought and Hyo glared at him.

"Are you laughing at the fact that you are about to die?" Hyo said in a cold voice. He walked closer to Gojyo and raised his Shakujo to his neck.

"I would never laugh at a thing like that," Gojyo said in a teasing voice.

"You are so stupid even if you look like me. Now it's time for you to die," Hyo said. He pulled back the Shakujo and was ready to strike when a white fireball came rushing past him and knocked him to the ground.

"You are such a stupid Baka Hyo! All of you are!" Snowfire Fox screamed. "Don't you know what happens if you kill the Sanzo Party? You'll all die, that's what! Nero wants you to kill them because he knows it will also kill you!"

The Hyo Party dropped their weapons and looked at Snowfire Fox. Shock went though them at the words of what she said. Kujo looked at Goku and moved away to help Yuki up.

"How can we trust the words of a stranger?" Hyo said.

"Because she is telling the truth Hyo," a voice said from behind them.

Note: Another cliffhanger! I told you I would make the suffering continue! Mwhahahahahaha! The cruelty still stands! So Snowfire Fox stops the fight in order to save both of the Parties and now there is a mysterious voice. Who could the voice belong to? What will happen now that the Hyo Party understands what will happen if they kill the Sanzo Party! You'll have to wait until the next chapter to find out! Chapter 14: The Enemy Is Close. R&R!
