Chapter 7: At the Castle
"Where the hell are you taking us, you jerk?" yelled Akane as she and the rest of her friends are being held hostage, taken to another dimension.
"Don't you worry your pretty little head. One of you will become my bride." Replied Prince Yukio.
"One of us? What will happen to the rest of us once you have chosen your bride?" asked Kagome.
"You will see." Chuckled Yukio.
The girls were trapped inside some kind of force field, flying high in the night sky with no way of escaping.
"Here we are." Said Yukio.
The girls turned their heads and ahead in the distance stood a dark castle high up in the mountains. All seven of the girls stood next to each other worrying of what is to become of them once they reach the castle.
----Meanwhile, several hundred miles away from the castle----
"What is this place?" asked Ranma
"This must beKoutei, where Prince Yukio took the girls." Replied Darien.
"How do we even know this is the right place. There are many dimensions in the universe. We can't go looking in every dimension, when the girls are counting on us to rescue them." Replied Ranma.
"This is the right place." Responded InuYasha.
"How would you know?" yelled Ranma
"Shut-up idiot. I know by the way the jewel shards are glowing in Kagome's bottle jar. Now lets go before we waste anymore time." Yelled InuYasha as he started to run towards the direction the jewel shards are glowing.
"Right!" respond both Ranma and Darien as they followed InuYasha close behind.
----Meanwhile, back at the castle----
"Great to be home." Stated Yukio, as he approached his throne in the main castle room.
"Fine, we are here. Now let us go." Yelled Lita, ready to use her martial arts on him once they were freed from the force field.
"No yet, my lovelies. You still have to meet my brothers." Chuckled Yukio.
"BROTHERS!" responded all seven of the girls.
"Come on out my brothers. I brought home presents for all of you." Yelled Yukio.
In the distance on the other side of the main castle room, approached six men, each one dressed just like Yukio, except in different colors. They were just as handsome as Prince Yukio.
"Allow me to introduce my brothers to you fine ladies. First we have is Prince Kin. He is the son of Light. He is the source of our powers. Next we have is Prince Toru. The son of water. He can control any body of water. Next is Prince Ryu. The son of fire. He can produce fire from a flick of his fingers. Next is Prince Rai. The son of Lighting/Thunder. He can create thunder storms and produce lighting from his body. Next we have Prince Ronin. The son of martial arts. He can produce powerful energies from his body that makes his fighting skills unstoppable. Last we have Prince Kenshin. The son of heart. His powers provide strong energy and powers to his sword.
"My brothers, these are the fine ladies I promised to bring back. As you can see, there is one for each of us. Since I am the oldest and heir to the throne, I will choose first."
"Yukio, how will we know which one to chose?" asked Prince Toru.
"My brother, have you forgotten the royal test?" replied Yukio
"TEST? WHAT TEST?" yelled all seven girls?
"The test that will determine which one of you will become my bride and determine the rest of your fates." Stated Yukio.
"Well I hate to disappoint you, but I am already engaged to be married. And so are the rest of us." Yelled Akane.
All six girls looked at Akane, wondering why she said that, until they notice she was giving the wink code, to go along with it.
"Yeah. That's right, we are." Yelled the rest of the girls.
Yukio just stood there laughing. "Well I hate to disappoint you, but here in Koutei, it doesn't matter if you are engaged because your heart doesn't belong to anyone. By the way, I know five of you are lying, thanks to my powers, so nice try. Besides, no one can get through this dimension to save you. Now my lovelies, I will call my servants to prepare you for the test, dressing all of you in the appropriate ceremonial dresses."
"Why do we need be dressed in ceremonial dresses for a test?" asked Ami.
"Because once the test is over, we will have the wedding ceremony. Before long all seven of you will be married to the royal brothers of Koutei." Chuckled Yukio.
All the girls, held on to each other worrying what is to become of them, while several servants took them in the back room to prepare them for what might be their end.
