Title: The trap Written by Shaun Witt

It had been three days since Kit's plane landed on the west coast. He had taken a train ride from the west coast to the east coast. He had done so under a false name given to him by the rebels to better hide him.

When his train came in at it's stop he was met by a couple of people and taken to a hidden location within the city. This is where he met the commander of the group of rebels in this area.

"Good to have you here Kit." The commander said.

"Have you gotten any more information on the missing people?" Kit asked.

"We have found some dead bodies matching the description to many of the missing people. They looked like they where killed by a demon." He replied.

"How many so far have been found dead?" Kit asked.

"By our last count at least eight were found. Why do you ask?" the commander wondered.

"It meansI have my work cut out for me." Kit replied.

"Do we know where this troll demon is located?" Kit asked.

"We did get a report of a troll like demon being seen near an old abounded factory, just outside." The commander said.

"How soon can we know for sure?" Kit asked.

"My people went to go look into it. We should know rather soon if the tip was correct. Until then why don't you get something to eat and then get some rest." The commander said.

Kit took him up on his offer and went to get something to eat. Afterwords he was taken to a room where he could get some needed rest.

It was early the next morning when he found out the two guys they had sent to get the information they he needed had returned. Kit was told that the demon was in fact there but there was also some tough looking demons there guarding the factory. He was also informed that they had noticed trunks with people tied up being taken into the building.

"We have to move now!" Kit ordered.

"Wait a minute. Did you even hear what they said about the guards?" The commander replied.

"You do not understand what that demon is about to do!" Kit replied raising his voice.

"Then tell us." The commander replied.

"The demon is known as a Shikon jewel maker." Kit started out replying.

"You mean the jewel of four souls?" One of the men asked.

"Yes, he will kill four people who have shown signs of possessing one of each of the four souls and then kills them. He will absorb the souls into his large club which will then form the Shikon jewel. That is why we must move now." Kit told them.

"If Naraku got his hands on any more jewels then this fight for our freedom might never end." The commander replied.

"So that is why the demon has so many guards around the factory." One of the men said.

"That's not the only reason." Kit replied.

"What do you mean?" He asked.

"I managed to kill one of them a long time ago and I am guessing that has made Naraku a bit nervous." Kit said.

"How did you kill the demon?" he asked.

"I used my sword." Kit replied.

"Well I'll get a team put together right away so we can move on this." The commander said before dismissing everyone.

Later that afternoon Kit and a group of rebels stood just out of site of the factory. After everyone moved into place they began there attack. Many of the demons on the outside fell almost as soon as the attack began.

As the demons outside were being taken care of Kit and two other stormed the factory in search of the missing people and the demon jewel maker. When they did find the people being held within a make shift holding cell they were jumped by the demon jewel maker.

"I'll kill you for killing my brother." The demon jewel maker held.

"I got him. You two get them out of Here." Kit yelled blocking the demon's club with his sword. "You want me then come and get me."

Kit ran into the middle of the factory and the demon fallowed. The two guys quickly began to get everyone out of the factory and to safety. As the last few people were being taken out the whole place seem to start falling apart around them.

They could tell the fight between Kit and the demon had grown intense and they were the cause of the factory falling apart. The demons outside had been taken care of and a few of the men rushed in to see if they could help.

"The demon guards have been taken care of. What are our orders?" One of the men asked.

"Our Orders are to get these people to safety at once." The man replied.

"What about that demon friend of your?" One of the people asked.

"He can handle himself.' He replied.

"You really think you can beat me? I possess the power of two shikon jewels inside me and soon the soulsI have collected today will form even more jewels." The demon said.

"I Won't let Naraku get his evil hands on any more Shikon jewels!" Kit yelled.

Kit's eyes glowed red and his anger grew. He focused all of his energy into the sword and with long strong slash a large wave of energy was released. The demon's club could not absorb so much energy at once and caused it to shatter along with him himself being ripped to shreds.

The Demon was dead and Kit went over to pick up the two jewels that fell out of the demon as he was killed. "No more will you be able to kill anyone."

Kit watched as the souls of the dead which were trapped in the club flew free. He was thankful he could save them before there spirits were used to form new jewels.

The place began to fall apart around him so he shoved the two jewels into his pocket and ran as fast as he could. He jumped through a window which was the fastest way out for him.

As he ran away from the falling factory he looked back for a moment. He looked up and noticed a demon insect staring at him from a distance. Kit yelled out "Victory is on our side today!"

Kit then ran into the cover of the near by woods. This is where he had found the dead bodies of his fellow rebels. The blood was fresh and sickening. He heard some light breathing coming from near by.

Kit walked over to a young lady near death and he asked, "What happened here"
"He came out of nowhere." She replied.

"Who? Who came out of nowhere?" Kit asked shaking the young lady but it was to late, she was dead.

"I believe she was talking about me." Said someone from behind.

Kit turned around with sword drawn and ready to fight. When he saw who it was in the shadow he became angrier.

"Kite what are u doing here you traitor?" Kit asked in anger.

"I'm hear to do my masters bidding and kill you." Kite replied.

The two of them fought it out. From the shadows a figure watched them. By the time the fight was over Kite was dead, Ryu dropped the two jewels he captured and was badly hurt.

The person in the shadows stepped out into the light . It was a female kitsune. She walked over to the injured kitsune male and took him back to her place to be tended to.
