The werewolf reared its head, the massive army of demons surrounding their master, weapons lifted to the blackened sky. Kairi's face became distorted, half of it only becoming bones, while the other half stayed the same. A black wing appeared on her back, sword in hand. Her eyes glowed crimson, staring her step-brother and the demons down. Kagome trembled in fear as Inuyasha growled darkly, searching for a target. Shippo hid quietly in a nearby shrub, his tail swishing back and forth in fear.
"How did you transform Inuyasha into a demon, Toby?" Atem growled, gripping his sword until his knuckles turned pale. "Tell us, right now!" The werewolf chuckled, fingering his chin with his left clawed hand. He then held up a card that showed a monster appearing from a brick wall, its claws reaching out for something.
"Wall Shadow," Chihiro whispered, standing near the Dragon Haku, her entire body trembling. Toby chuckled again and put the card away.
"Correct, little girl," he growled, circling the group while the demons awaited orders. "Wall Shadow crept into the hanyou's room that night and stole his human side. He can never become a hanyou again, unless I give him back his human side. But that won't be happening, now would it?" The werewolf pointed to the Protectors, ordering the demons to attack. Inuyasha leapt towards Kagome, but the girl held up a bow and arrow, aiming it towards the demon near him. She let the arrow fly, and the demon was soon pinned to a tree, its left arm covered in blood. Inuyasha glared at Kagome, his eyes flashing in anger. She took another arrow, and aimed it at him.
"Forgive me, Inuyasha," she whispered softly before releasing the arrow. The demon leapt up into a tree, dodging the arrow. Kagome gasped as the demon leapt down, claws raised. He struck her at the chest, leaving long slash marks through her shirt.
Kairi fought with Toby, who continued to dodge her sword, growling.
"Fool," the werewolf laughed. "You possibly think you can defeat me? Your own flesh and blood?" Kairi scoffed, tossing her head as she thrust her sword at her step-brother. The werewolf dodged the sword, but soon felt a stabbing pain through his back. Kairi had teleported behind him, and stabbed him with her sword. The others fought off the demons, leaving only Inuyasha left.
"Return Inuyasha to the way he was," Kairi hissed, her eyes narrowing. "Now." Toby, who was now in his original state, held up a dark shadow and threw it towards Inuyasha. Kagome raced towards the demon, clinging to his body.
"Inuyasha!" she cried, sobbing into his chest. The growling stopped, a hand upon her shoulder.
"Kagome…" a soft voice replied. The girl looked up, and saw Inuyasha, no longer a demon, looking down upon her, smiling. "It's alright now. I'm back." Kagome pressed her face into the half-demon's chest, and sobbed happily. Toby, however, clenched his fist in fury. Kairi pulled out her sword from his back, but soon fell to the ground after a strong punch from the villain.
"Why you-," Brian growled, rushing up to Toby, fist raised. He was about to punch Toby in the face, but the villain blocked it with his right hand.
"You all are fools," Toby laughed. "I'm much stronger than you thought I was." Suddenly, Kairi appeared behind him again, and stabbed him in the back once more. He gasped out in pain and collapsed onto the ground. A dark portal appeared in front of them to the outside world.
"Yugi…" Atem muttered, a single tear rolling down his cheek.
"Hey, Pharaoh!" a voice called out from the other side of the portal. "Hurry up, and let's go home!" It was Yugi. The Protectors smiled, and ran through the portal. Kairi lifted Toby onto her shoulders, and turned towards him. He opened his left eye.
"Forgive me," he whispered before becoming unconscious again. Kairi smiled, and they both went through the portal that led back to Texas. The others were already there, waiting for their fellow Protector.
"I was wondering, guys," Kairi whispered. "If Toby could join us. I'm sure that he would be a great help in fights." Inuyasha placed a hand upon Kagome's shoulder as the wind brushed past them. Shippo glanced up at the sky as a white dove flew past them. Atem nodded towards Kairi as she placed Toby onto the couch in the lobby, his chest rising and falling.
"Thank you, brother," she whispered softly, stepping outside once more. The sun was setting in painted colors upon the canvas of the sky.
