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

Kagome and the others desperately searched for Inuyasha all over the city, but found no trace of the half-demon. Kagome was nearly on the verge of tears as they continued their search for their fellow Protector. As they sat themselves down at a local park, a low rumbling began to shake the earth beneath them. Kagome clutched Shippo tightly as the others readied their weapons.

"What's going on?" Atem inquired as the rumbling grew louder. In the distance, demons with swords were racing towards them at blinding speed, snarling darkly. Cloud readied his Buster Sword, his sapphire eyes narrowing slightly. As the monsters drew closer, they realized that they bore golden emblems upon their shoulders. This emblem contained a wolf and a sword, colliding with each other on impact. The demons growled sharply, one of them pointing its claw at the Protectors. They lifted their weapons into the air, a loud howling sound echoing throughout the city. A large violet portal appeared in the crimson sky, a wind pulling the Protectors into it. They screamed out in fear as the portal closed behind them. When the vortex reappeared, it revealed a world covered in shadows, dark clouds gathering in the ebony skies. The trees towered above them, casting dark shadows all around them. A cloud of smoke appeared near them, and a figure in a black cloak that was over a pair of black leather pants and black boots appeared from the smoke, the hood casting its face in shadows.

"Well, well," it hissed darkly, turning towards Kairi. "What a pleasure seeing you here, sister." The Protectors were startled, but Cloud turned his sword onto the figure.

"Sephiroth!" he cried out, but the stranger wagged a finger.

"Wrong, blondie!" it laughed, lowering the hood. It revealed a boy of around 13 with medium length brown hair and emerald eyes, which were narrowed in hatred. Around his neck was the same emblem that the demons bore: a wolf and a sword.

"Toby," Kairi hissed, her eyes narrowing. "So good to see you, step-brother."

"STEP-BROTHER?" inquired a bewildered Joey, his Duel Disc hanging off of his arm, his eyes wide. Kairi nodded, turning her sword towards Toby. The boy circled the Protectors, clicking his tongue in disappointment.

"Pity," he muttered darkly. "I was hoping for more of a challenge, but all I see is a pack of weaklings compared to my powerful army!" He waved his arm, and behind him, thousands of glowing eyes appeared from within the forest. Toby's form twitched as he screamed out in agony, his entire body transforming right before their eyes. His hands became longer and his fingernails became claws. His face grew longer into a wolf snout as brown fur began to line his face and body. His eyes became a bright golden color as his ears moved to the top of his head, which were becoming pointy. His legs became stalky, as did his feet. All that remained was the emblem around his neck. The werewolf growled darkly, lifting its left paw into striking position.

"ATTACK!" it roared to the demons behind him. One of them turned out to be Inuyasha, who growled when it saw Kagome.

"No…" she whispered, falling to her knees. Cloud and Haku guarded her, Haku in his dragon form.

"Shippo, you have to get out of here," Cloud muttered to the kitsune. He nodded, and ran into a small bush, watching the battle begin.

"You will all die," Toby rasped. "For in my world, there is no escape!"

Can the Protectors escape from the World of Darkness? Or will they be trapped forever? Find out in chapter nine, The Code of the Werewolf.
