I do not own Inuyasha or Kamen Rider Blade. Those belong to their respective owners and not me. Please don't try to contest me on this because I will emerge victorious from that argument. Anyway, enjoy the fic.
Kamen Rider Feudal Blade
By Ten-Faced Paladin
Category Ace: Spade
China
The wilderness of the continent was in an uproar. Many demons were rising against each other as they fought to determine the new ruler of the demons on the continent. When news came of the death of their former lord Menoumaru, many demons saw it as the perfect chance to take control of the power void. Unfortunately, many more demons had the same idea. Don't forget the foreign demons nearby who had their eye on China. The humans were never the wiser since this was a purely demon matter. It didn't stop them from rejoicing hen they found old battlefields littered with demon corpses. It was on one of these battlefields that one demon stood. It would be his actions that will threaten the world in the time to come.
This demon was mid-level in terms of power, but he was fiercely loyal to the former lord, Menoumaru. There had been a minor struggle for power when his lord's father, Hyoga, was sealed away by that blasted Inutaisho. The former lord of the western lands in Japan had sealed away Hyoga's power with only one of his fangs. It had taken Menoumaru a long time to first earn his title as lord, and then find where Inutaisho had sealed his father's power. Lord Menoumaru had traveled to the east to collect his father's power and conquer the land he so deserved. Many minions of Menoumaru's court thought that he had done it when they felt his energy rise to full power, but as soon as they felt him come to full power, it was snuffed out almost immediately afterwards. It was made quite clear that their master was dead. The wars had soon started up afterwards.
"This shouldn't be happening!" the minor demon growled. "How could Lord Menoumaru have been defeated by a group of humans and one hanyou! It shouldn't be possible!"
Granted, the hanyou was the son of Inutaisho, the demon who conquered Hyoga. The humans were also unique in their own ways. One was a demon slayer, another was a powerful monk who held a wind tunnel, and the last one was a miko of unheard of strength. That still didn't cover the fact that they were one filthy hanyou and three worthless humans.
"They will be punished," the demon growled angrily. "And I know just how to do it!"
With that, the demon began his journey. He travelled over many days and nights. He only stopped to eat or sleep. He was a demon on a mission and he was going to complete it. His travels eventually brought him to a snowy mountain in a region called Tibet in the present. The demon had to be careful where he stepped or else he was going to be caught by the tribes of humans that lived in the area.
The demon had heard from other demons who had come from the area that there was a hidden power in the mountains which could end the world if it was used properly. Many demons had tried for it, but the tribes of humans in the area were very powerful demon hunters. On par or even better than the likes in the eastern country that claimed the life of Menoumaru and his servants which accompanied him.
The demon had trekked through a large number of caverns and had found nothing. After several days of finding the same, the demon was about ready to give up and find another way to get revenge. As night fell, it huddled into one of the caverns to try and find warmth, but as it took one last glance in the night, it spotted a strange light. Deciding to take a closer look, the demon went through the rocky grounds until it found where the light was coming from. It was another cavern and there were a few humans outside of it. Each of them were armed to the teeth with weapons and looked ready for business. The demon knew that it would have to be sneaky or else it would get killed before it got within ten feet of the cavern.
And so, the demon waited. It studied the humans as it plotted on ways to get in. It watched when they would switch guard and as they fought off some other minor demons that tried to enter the cavern. It was watching as when the demons were slaughtered, the guards would fight for all their worth and focus solely on their opponents. That was when the demon got its plan.
It was easy enough, but the timing would have to be perfect. When another group of demons had come for the cavern, the hunters were up and ready for them. When the battle had commenced, the demon snuck past it and into the cavern. The sounds of battle echoed through the cavern as the demon continued on its way. At first it seemed that there was no way that it was going to end, but it had changed soon enough when the demon finally found the back of the cavern.
There were many carvings on the walls. Each of them was nothing that the demon was interested in. It was the shrine at the back that caught the demon's attention. It walked over to the stone structure eagerly before opening the shrine. It was expecting some kind of weapon or a demon that it could use to complete its revenge. Instead, it found a single stack of cards. Slightly confused, the demon reached for them and picked up the first card on the top. It glanced at the red back before turning it over to reveal a picture of a rhino beetle with a strange symbol on its shell. On the side of the card was the word 'change' and there was nothing else. Despite the disappointment the demon felt in the item he had secured, it could feel the power that the cards were radiating. Acting quickly, the demon grabbed al the cards and began running for the exit of the cavern. It didn't dare drop any of the cards since they were his key to vengeance.
The battle was still in full swing as the demon exited the cavern. It considered itself lucky that it was able to get out undetected. Now all it had to do was learn to harness these cards so that he could destroy the ones who dared to kill his master.
Japan, 5 weeks later...
The demon had to travel carefully to get where he was at the moment. He had been attacked by other demons that had felt the power of the cards and wanted them for themselves. It couldn't let them have it though. These cards were going to help him avenge his master. All he had to do now was find out how to use them.
The demon was currently staring at the cards which were lay out in front of him. He was in the middle of a clearing in a deep forest. Each card had a different picture on it and a different word written on the side. The demon assumed that each card would give the user a different ability, but the highest cards had the same word on them. The two cards marked 'Joker' were odd as well. He couldn't tell what they did. Right now, he had no idea what to do with the cards.
"Aw, what the hell," the demon grunted before picking up the cards into a single pile before pumping his demonic energy into each of the cards. The cards began to glow with a pulse, but nothing else seemed to happen. The demon then started pumping more energy into the cards. The cards began to tremble as the power cut through them. The demon began to get impatient as it pumped even more energy into the cards.
BOOM!
The demon's vision was filled with white as energy pulsed from the cards and seemed to vanish. The demon struggled to get its bearings again. It could hear hissing and growling of all sorts while it struggled to see again. When the glare faded, its eyes widened to see a small army of strange demons that seemed confused at where they were standing.
"My own army!" the demon laughed, catching the monsters' attention. The demon looked at all them seriously. "Hear me! I was the one to release you all! As such, I expect you all to follow my orders to the letter! Is that understood?"
One monster which had a gray carapace and looked slightly like a rhino beetle stepped forward while griping its grey sword which seemed styled after its horn. It glared at the demon before it seemed to smirk.
"Not bloody likely!" the monster laughed as it raised its sword high.
The demon was stunned at the defiance and was unable to get out of the way before the monster sliced it half in a flurry of blood and gore. Satisfied, the monster began to walk away from the clearing. The other monsters likewise began heading their own ways. They were curious about their surroundings and sought to learn about it. That was one fact that all of them could agree on.
The Undead were free once more.
1 week later...
"I don't see why you have to go back, Kagome," the half demon Inuyasha growled as he and his friends traveled along a dirt path.
"Inuyasha, I told you," the girl from the future, Kagome, sighed. "I have a lot of tests coming up and I need to get back to take them."
"Yeah, Inuyasha," the fox demon child Shippo nodded. "You don't have to get upset over it."
"We should be looking for jewel shards! Not taking tests!" Inuyasha grumbled.
"There is much to be said for taking a rest, Inuyasha," the monk, Miroku, commented.
"It wouldn't kill you to let Kagome go either," the demon slayer Sango, added.
Inuyasha just grumbled as the group continued walking. They were heading back towards the village where the Bone Eaters Well was situated. Kagome was getting behind on her studies and the tests that she was going to take might make or break her chances of actually getting into a good school.
Things had been quiet for the travelers in their hunt for the sacred jewel shards. Their enemy Naraku and his minions had been silent for a long time and there were fewer and fewer jewel shard for them to find. There was no shortage of demons, but none of them was using jewel shards. Their hunt was turning up nothing so far. This only served to make Inuyasha grumpy.
"Do you think that there are anymore jewel shards left to find?" Shippo asked curiously.
"Maybe," Kagome shrugged. "But that still doesn't change the fact that Naraku has a large majority of them."
"It also means that he is getting a large power boost from them," Miroku added grimly.
Everyone was silent at that thought. It wasn't one that the group particularly liked. Naraku was pretty powerful as it was. With that near-complete jewel that he had with him, he was really getting hard to kill. Inuyasha and the group had tried to do it for some time now. None of those attempts were truly successful, but they had come close a few times. Naraku also had a habit of playing with people's minds and feelings for amusement. He also did it to string them along and keep them under his thumb.
Inuyasha continued to grumble until he caught a whiff of a scent. It was something that he didn't like and it was one that he hadn't smelt before. What was worse was that it was coming from up ahead.
"Inuyasha?" asked Kagome, concerned for the hanyou. "What's wrong?"
"I smell something," Inuyasha spoke before he started running for the source of the scent.
"Hey, Inuyasha!" Kagome shouted while she and her other friends gave chase. "Is it a demon?"
"I don't know!" Inuyasha snapped without turning back.
"What?" Sango cried. "What do you mean you don't know?"
"Just what I said!" Inuyasha snapped as he continued running.
The group continued to run as Inuyasha followed the strange scent. As they came through a final bit of foliage, the group was stunned when they saw the village that they often called home. Several of the buildings were destroyed and in flames. A lot of them looked like they had been cut in half by a sword. So did several of the villagers. The cuts were clean and very neat. Whoever had done it was a true swordsman.
"Who could've done this?" gasped Kagome.
"I would bet Naraku had a hand in this," Inuyasha growled.
"I'd agree with you," Miroku nodded.
Further conversation was cut off when electric bolts could be seen coming from another part of the village. No more words needed to be said as the group dashed towards the source of the disturbance. They got through several severed corpses and destroyed homes. Some dust was kicked up from the last burst of energy and sight was clouded for a bit. When they had gotten through the dust, they came upon a new sight that they were partially expecting.
Two large...they wanted to say demons, but there was something off about them. One was going about wildly, slashing wildly at anything that seemed remotely intact. It was rather pale with gray armor/skin. It was hard to tell which sections were armor and which were skin. It looked rather lizard-like and it was holding a large sword. On its waist was an ornate belt. In all, the beast seemed rather feral and had no kind of intelligent thought of its own.
The other beast was much more intimidating. Its body was covered in gray carapace that showed very little openings for seams. A large pointed horn adorned its head and its face was very intimidating. Around its waist was a belt similar to the one the lizard creature was wearing. In its right hand was a sharp blade which looked like it could outdo the lizard beast's sword. In its left hand however, was a familiar face.
"Kaede!" Kagome cried in shock
The insect beast turned its head to look at the group while its lizard companion also focused its attention. It released a hiss as it gave them a fierce glare. Kaede likewise turned her attention towards the group which had just arrived.
"Run, you fools!" she managed to gasp.
"Humans," the insect beast growled before it dropped Kaede to the dirt. "I...hate...humans!"
"Heh," Inuyasha smirked as he kneeled slightly to take a battle position. His hand was resting on the hilt of his sword, Tetsusaiga. "If you think that I'm just another human, then you're gonna die!"
Inuyasha dashed forward and drew his sword. The blade grew to an incredible size as he bore down on his opponent. The Insect creature seemed to take it as a challenge as it raised its own sword in apparent anticipation of the fight. It had even gotten itself in its own battle stance. The two blades collided with one another in a haze of sparks which rained down to the ground. Both blades were crackling with their own energy. Tetsusaiga was bright yellow while the creature's was a sickly green.
"So," Inuyasha grunted under the strain. "What did Naraku name you?"
"Naraku?" the insect beast asked. "Who is Naraku?"
"Don't play dumb with me!" Inuyasha growled as he leapt back from the creature. "You have to be a spawn of Naraku! I've never seen a demon like you before!"
"Humph," the creature grimaced. "I am not the creation of some pathetic mortal! I am beyond that! I am Undead!"
"Undead, huh?" Inuyasha snorted. "Then I guess I'll have to chop you into extra pieces to make sure you stay dead!"
Inuyasha then gave another yell as he charged for an attack. The grey creature likewise gave its own yell before charging at Inuyasha with equal vigor.
SHING!
Miroku leapt back, just barely avoiding a blow from the lizard creature. It was quick on its feet and obviously knew how to use the sword it was holding. He had never seen a creature like it before, but that didn't mean that he wasn't willing to try and defeat it.
"Hiraikotsu!" Sango yelled as she hurled her giant boomerang towards the creature, aiming to cut it in half.
The lizard creature hissed angrily as it saw the weapon coming. It raised its own blade quickly to shield itself from the blow. The Hiraikotsu collided heavily against the weapon and made a ringing sound echo from the two weapons. The lizard creature stumbled backwards from the sheer force, but it managed to push back and send the giant boomerang right back at Sango. It didn't bother the demon slayer that much. Now was the golden opportunity that they were looking for.
"Kagome! Now!" she shouted to her friend.
The lizard creature seemed confused before it heard a notching sound from behind. It turned around to see what the sound was and was faced by the girls from the future. She had an arrow notched in her bow and a serious look on her face. Shippo was hiding behind her legs looking somewhat determined to see this fight through. Before the lizard creature could react properly, Kagome let the arrow fly with all the miko energy that she could muster. The arrow flew true at her target before embedding itself in the creature's shoulder. It gave off a high-pitched shriek as it tugged at the arrow. Despite having damaged it, the friends were expecting more of a reaction.
"Hey, Kagome," Shippo blinked. "Shouldn't have it been destroyed?"
"I don't know, Shippo," Kagome replied confusedly. "I put enough spiritual energy into that arrow to destroy almost any demon."
Kaede, who was still struggling to stand, looked over to her friends, "This why I told ye to run! Miko powers do not affect these creatures! They cannot be purified!"
"What!" Miroku cried. "Impossible!"
"The proof is in front of us, Miroku," Sango frowned as she turned her attention back to the lizard creature. It had managed to yank the arrow out of its shoulder. A trail of bright green blood could be seen running down the creature's chest. It could also be seen covering the arrowhead.
"RAHGH!" Inuyasha bellowed ashe and the insect creature continued to slash at each other.
The battle was more or less at the standstill. Inuyasha's haori had some cuts in the fabric but his skin hadn't been touched. The insect creature had taken some hits, but only sparks had come from those blows. Its armor was proving to be incredibly tough.
"I grow weary of this!" the creature growled as it gave itself some space. It then raised its blade as more green energy began to collect around of it.
"Heh, idiot," Inuyasha smirked as he began to let wisps of air collect around the Tetsusaiga. He was planning to let the creature unleash its attack before reflecting it right back at it with the Backlash Wave. Inuyasha began to feel that he had won this battle.
The creature let the energy collect in its blade before it gave a single yell and sent the energy flying at Inuyasha in a wave of emerald light. Inuyasha just continued to smirk as the wind whipped around the Tetsusaiga even faster as he raised it above his head.
"Backlash Wave!" Inuyasha yelled as he brought the Tetsusaiga down in what he thought would be his finishing blow.
What happened next was anything but a finishing blow. When the Tetsusaiga made impact against the energy, there was a loud crackling noise before the attack was cut in half and the two pieceshit the dirt, creating a dust cloud. Inuyasha himself wasn't unharmed as he felt the residual energy running through his body like a million volts. It was not a pleasant sensation.
"What the hell!" Inuyahsa grunted as he struggled to move. "Why didn't it work?"
Inuyasha knew of a few instances where the Backlash Wave wouldn't work. One of them was if the target demon was just too weak. Inuyasha knew that this wasn't the case with this creature. It had a lot of power backingit up. The only other reason he could think of was that there was no demonic aura for the backlash wave to feed off of. That was what didn't make sense to Inuyasha. There was no way that his opponent could be anything but a demon, right?
"Not bad," the creature acknowledged as it raised its sword. "If one such as you had competed in the Battle Game, then things might have turned out differently."
Inuyasha just growled as he attempted to get into another battle stance. Perhaps this battle wasn't going to be as easy as he thought it was going to be.
-----------------------------------------------------------
The stranger was riding hard and fast to get to a nearby village. He had been hot on the trail of the demon which had stolen the sealed monstrosities which he had been partially entrusted in guarding. When the village had found out that they had been stolen, he had been contacted to try and find out where the thief was hiding. They had followed the obvious demonic thief to the eastern ocean, which meant that the cards were now in his home country. That had been weeks ago. It was only days ago that he had picked up the trail and found the corpse of the little demon which had stolen the cards. When he saw the area and the condition of the body, he feared that either an even more sinister demon had gotten a hold of them, or worse, it had unsealed them.
This was why he had been riding to the nearest village he could find. He could ask if any unusual demons had been appearing, or failing that, seeing the remains to see if any of the creatures he had been guarding were the cause or not.
He rode his steed through several trees and past a strange well and came out to see a village. At first he was looking for people, but his hopes plummeted as he saw a battle commencing below him. His pulse raced when he saw that two of the combatants were among the creatures which he and his tribe were supposed to be guarding. He had to admit that the humans fighting them were doing moderately well, but they were treating them as demons. He knew that those creatures were not demons and could not be killed no matter what one did to them.
Knowing that it was only a matter of time before these fighters got themselves killed. The stranger started riding down the hillside towards the battle. No more people would die if he had anything to say about it.
-------------------------------------------------------
Inuyasha knew that this battle wasn't looking good for him. He was still partially stunned from the last attack that the insect monster had thrown at him and his muscles were being uncooperative. The insect creature was taking its sweet time in fighting now that Inuyasha was crippled. I figured that it had won and that there was no reason to rush. All it really had to do was savor the victory and the moments leading up to it.
"This has been somewhat enjoyable," the insect creature snickered as it gazed at Inuyasha. "Regrettably, I do have a Battle Game to win so I must end this. Farewell!"
Inuyasha watched as the creature prepared another blast of energy in its sword. It was easily three times more powerful than the last one. With his muscles like they were at the moment, Inuyasha knew that he wouldn't be able to dodge it either. He did not like his chances of survival. The creature prepared to unleash its attack when a sudden intervention came into play.
"CATEGORY ACE!" a new voice shouted.
Inuyasha and the creature instantly turned to face wherever the voice had come from. Both saw a man on horseback coming closer at a rapid pace. The creature turned to face the man but was unable to make any kind off attack. The manon horseback clipped the creature as he passed it and sent it sprawling to the dirt. The rider came to a stop and dismounted to face the creature.
He looked Japanese, but his clothes were obviously Chinese. He was wearing a blue tunic and matching pants. He had black slippers on and a silver sash tied around his waist. When Inuyasha got a better look at him, he seemed pretty close to either Miroku or Sango's age. He had reddish-brown hair and despite the seriousness in his face, he still had a kind of kindness in his eyes.
The creature seemed to get angry at the mere sight of the new arrival. It began to growl and glare at the man. A large amount of hate came rolling off of it as it and the man began to glare at each other. Inuysasha seemed to be forgotten at the side as he witnessed the battle.
"Kamen Rider!" the insect creature spat angrily.
"So you remember me," the man smirked. "I'm flattered."
"You'll be my first victory before the new Battle Game will commence!" the creature growled.
Inuyasha continued to growl as he continued to get more feeling back in his body. He already had the feeling in his arms back and that was all he needed at the moment. He didn't care who the new guy was, but he really wanted to take the monster down. He steadied himself as he raised the Tetsusaiga above his head while wisps of wind whipped over the blade again. The stranger witnessed the movement and was obviously confused about it. He wasn't about to give the creature a warning though.
"Wind Scar!" Inuyasha roared as he slammed the Tetsusaiga into the ground.
Three streams of yellow energy ripped through the ground towards thee creature. The streams were large and fast as they ripped through the dirt like a shark through water. The creature was caught completely off guard from the sudden assault from the side. Its attention had been focused slowly on the stranger and it had completely missed Inuyasha's movements. It tried to get out of the way of the attack, but it was too little too late. The creature had been caught up in the attack and was engulfed.
"GYAAAHHH!" it bellowed as it was captured by the blast.
Inuyasha smirked as he witnessed his attack hit, "Teach you to ignore me."
The stranger could only gape at the pure destruction of the attack. He hadn't seen anything like that before. The dust from the attack billowed for a short while before coming to a rest. When it did, the stranger couldn't help but not be surprised. Inuyasha on the other hand was very much surprised.
"What the-!" Inuyasha gaped. "It should be dead after that attack!"
Standing in the middle of the three gashes in the ground, was the insect creature. It was still very much alive and breathing. It was having trouble standing though. Two large gashes were on its shoulders and one was in the middle of its head. Bright green blood was running freely from those wounds. Some of it was even leaking from its mouth. It continued to stand there dumbly before a gust of wind had moved by and knocked the creature over. It landed with a loud thump on the dirt. Inuyasha smirked before a loud snap followed the thump and he saw that the creature's buckle had snapped open right down the middle. Inside of it were three strange runes.
The stranger didn't waste any time as he raced over to the creature to make sure that it was truly down. Inuyasha was likewise struggling to get closer.
"Hey!" he shouted at the stranger. "Are you stupid or something? At least wait for me to kill it!"
"You can't kill it!" the stranger frowned. "It is impossible to kill."
"Yeah right," Inuyasha snorted. "Nothing is impossible to kill."
"Fool," the stranger sighed before he reached into his tunic and brought out a small card. It had a red back and was blank with only chains appearing on the front. He stood above the creature, who had began breathing heavier as it saw the card. "One down, fifty-three to go."
With that, the stranger dropped the card onto the creature. The second it touched the creature's skin, it began to bellow loudly. Everyone close by had actually stopped to witness the event. Even the lizard creature was stunned as it watched what was happening. The insect creature's body was engulfed in green energy as the card began to spin on its axis on the creature's chest. Then, as if being sucked in by a straw, the creature was absorbed into the card. In a final flash of light, the card spun right back into the stranger's hand. He took a moment to look at it.
"I was right," he commented. "Category Ace: Change Beetle."
"What the hell did you just do!" Inuyasha demanded as he staggered closer to the stranger.
Before the stranger could even offer some kind of explanation, the lizard creature went into a rage of hisses and charged at the one who had defeated its fellow Undead. It was waving its sword wildly as it aimed to kill the one who attacked its fellow Undead. Inuyasha gripped Tetsusaiga, ready for another fight while Kagome, Shippo, Miroku, and Kagome tried to follow the creature and stop it before it could hurt anyone.
"What are you waiting for, you idiot!" Inuyasha snapped. "Run!"
"I think not," the stranger replied while untying his sash.
Letting the cloth fall to the ground, a belt could be seen underneath it. The buckle seemed to be a little large with a blue material that looked like it was sapphire made up the buckle. In the centre of it was a symbol Kagome recognized as a spade from packs of playing cards. The buckle also had a slot in the side big enough to fit a piece of paper, or something just as thin.
The stranger stared coldly at the charging lizard creature and didn't bat an eye. His focus seemed to be on the card in his hand. He held it between his right index and ring fingers. He had raised his right arm so that his hand was left of his face. His palm was facing outwards and towards the creature.
"Henshin!" the stranger suddenly called.
In one fluid motion, the stranger brought his hand down and slid the card into the small slot before passing the same hand over the buckle itself. The blue part of the buckle then began to glow brightly as the card was finally inserted. There was a flash as a rectangular blue field flew from the buckle and grew large enough to let a person jump through. The field had hit the lizard creature and had sent it flying into the ground. When the field stopped, everyone could see the image of a large rhino beetle on it with the spade symbol on its back. The stranger remained quiet as he then ran at the field. He never stopped once even when he passed through it. When he did pass through, he had changed.
He was donned in armor befitting of a samurai. His chest, waist, and shoulder armor was a sliver color which was highlighted with a sapphire blue. His pants and footwear were also blue with gold rings around his ankles. His armguards were deep blue with silver spades outlined on them. Even his hands had blue armor on them. On his waist was a katana which had a base like a saber. A silver spade was also depicted on his chest. His helmet was silver withfaceplate to match. His eyeholes were covered by a red glass-like material. Adorned on the forehead was a single horn. On the samurai's back was a banner which most samurai used to show which lord they served. This banner held a large blue spade with thirteen empty circles underneath it. Only one of them had been filled with blue.
The lizard creature did not seem as impressed as Inuyasha and the others were. It quickly got back to its feet with a hiss and began to charge again. The blue samurai quickly drew his sword and likewise charged.
The two moved into a sword-swinging frenzy. Their moves were fast and powerful. Both of them didn't want to lose this battle and thus put all their might into every swing. The blue samurai dodged underneath a sideways strike and connected with an upwards slash which caused the creature to stagger. He didn't let up as he continued to slash away at the creature. It hissed and tried to retaliate, but the samurai managed to dodge the attacks and strike back with a few of his own. The lizard creature's movements were becoming sluggish as it was dealt more damage. The blue samurai saw that the battle was about to end and leapt forward with an overhead slash which easily made contact with the creature. The creature staggered back before collapsing on the ground. Its belt buckle snapped open as it futilely tried to get back up.
"Two down. Fifty-two to go," the blue samurai commented as he flicked his wrist and another blank card appeared in his hand.
The blue samurai then tossed the card at the lizard creature and made contact. Everyone watched in fascination as the creature was sucked inside of the card before it flew back into the samurai's hand. On his banner, the second circle filled in with blue to match the first.
"Category Two: Slash Lizard," the samurai read as he looked at the card.
Everyone was silent in amazement at what they had seen. Miroku had never seen such a sealing before and Sango was curious as to his weapons. Kagome wanted to know what kind of power he possessed while Shippo believed that he had found a new idol. Inuyasha had his own questions which he wanted answered right away.
"Okay, buddy!" he snapped as he limped in front of the samurai. "Just who the hell are you?"
"As I am now?" the samurai asked. "I am known as Kamen Rider Blade."
"Kamen Rider…" Kagome began, "Blade…?"
