Possession and Forgotten Memories

It's been a few days since Will was destroyed. But everyone had a strange
feeling that he was still around somehow. Also, they wondered what that last
attack did to Anime. Ryu hasn't left her side once for he didn't know why, but
he still felt guilt on his shoulders for what he tried to do. Renji tried to
tell him that it wasn't his fault, but he just wasn't hearing it. Heck, even
Masukee tried to tell him, but still he wasn't listening. Renji and Masukee
walked out of the house leaving a very depressed Ryu with a sleeping and badly
wounded Anime.

With Renji and Masukee

Masukee and Renji sat outside wondering
what was going to happen next. They didn't know what that attack would do to Anime,
but what ever it was it had something to do with her past. Renji asked in a
calm tone "do you have any idea how Anime gave up being a general?" Masukee
sighed as she said "not really. I know that she was in a village than after
that they said that she was killed in battle. I'm surprised that she saved you
and Ryu to be honest. Before when she attacked my village I could see her
eyes. They were the eyes of a killer. Someone who enjoys to kill and make
people suffer."

Renji was so confused as she asked "but Anime isn't like that!
There's no way that she could have been that cruel!" Masukee calmly said "but
the thing that bothered me the most was that behind her eyes was someone who
was suffering... It was like she was being forced to kill people and not of
her own free will. It may have seemed that she was enjoying the killing spree,
but deep down she was the one hurting."Renji looked slightly shocked as she
said "so your saying that Anime was being controlled by something?" Masukee
nodded as she said "it's hard to say what it was that was controlling Anime's
mind but it's out of her system but I'd like to know what it was that brought
her out of it."

Again Renji nodded as she said "well what ever it was I'm sure
that she'll tell us when the time is right for her." They both nodded but they
stayed outside the whole time talking about random things.

With Ryu and Anime

Ryu sat in a chair next to the couch looking at Anime with a very sad
look. He still blamed himself about what happened. Looking at the painful
expression on Anime's face he guessed that she was either having a bad dream,
or she was in a great amount of pain. And what makes it worse, he just
couldn't do anything to help her. For he felt that she hated him for what he
tried to do.Fearing that she'll never forgive him, he just couldn't help but
feel down.

Sighing to himself, all he could think about was how he could make
it up to her. But nothing came to mind and he could only think that she would
hate him. Ryu stared at Anime and noticed that she was now gasping in pain.
Ryu was full of fear as he asked "Anime! Anime, are you alright?!" There was
no responds and Ryu called for Renji and Masukee to come in the house right
away. He would call for Akuma, but he hasn't heard from him in months it was
like he went on one of his little journeys and knowing him he would be gone
for who knows how long.

Than Renji and Masukee showed up and saw the worried
look on Ryu's face. Masukee asked "what's the matter, Ryu?" He looked at them
and said "it's Anime some thing's wrong!"Renji looked at Anime and asked
"Anime, can you hear me at all?" There was still no responds and this, of
course, made everyone worry. Masukee felt Anime's forehead to see if she had a
fever and it just so happens that she did.This of course confused Renji. How
could a Fire Inu Demon get a fever? They could control fire for crying out
loud and she has a fever? None of this made any sense to her one bit.

Ryu
asked with concern "will she be alright?" Renji sighed sadly as she said "I
don't know. Maybe she cought a cold or something, but than again that wouldn't
make her gasp in pain." Ryu could only shrug as he said "you're right there's
no way that a cold could make anyone act this way. Do you think it has
something to do with that attack that Will used on Anime?"Than Masukee came
back with a cold wet cloth and placed it on Anime's head as she said "that
should help for awhile anyway."

Renji calmly said "I'm not sure but the thing
is why did he use that attack on Anime in the first place it's not like it
would have killed her. She was wearing that armor and it covered her chest in
the same spot where the attack hit. This isn't making any sense." Than they
heard Anime mumble between gasps "Will... he's... still alive..."They all
gasped not believing what they all heard. Ryu asked "but how can that be? His
soul is in that dragon jar!" Renji calmly said "go and check that jar again I
have a feeling that's not his soul in there but a fake." Ryu nodded and he ran
to his room. Renji and Masukee stayed with Anime hoping to calm her down but
nothing was working at all.

Masukee was starting to get worried as she asked
"what's wrong with her Renji? I mean she's acting as if she's reliving the
past or something." Renji was in deep thought 'no she's not reliving her past
she's trying to fight something... Some thing's trying to take control, but
what? Unless... that attack!'Ryu came back down as he said with rage "that
soul in the dragon jar! It is a fake! Then where's his soul?!" Renji had an
idea but she just wasn't sure until they all heard Anime mumble "danger...
There's... danger..."They were puzzled about this and Ryu asked "what does she
mean danger?" Than they all sensed a dark aura and they all wanted to know
where it was coming from. James entered Renji's mind as he said "Renji! Get
everyone out of the house now! Will's soul is within Anime that attack placed
his soul within her!"

Renji yelled out "we have to get out now! Anime's being
possessed!"Than they all saw Anime get up but she was as calm as can be. She
smiled as she said "hey guys something wrong?" They all looked at Anime as if
she grew a second head. Masukee asked "Anime are you alright? You were talking
about danger a while ago and now you're as calm as can be!" Ryu was both happy
and worried. Happy that Anime was awake now, and worried that she was mad at
him. He asked "Anime, how are ya feeling?"Anime smiled as she said "for what
Ryu? Why would I be mad?" Ryu was so confused as he asked "you sure that
you're alright, Anime?" Again she nodded and walked outside with everyone
following. Renji calmly said "you can quit the act Will I know that you're
controlling Anime."

Than there was an evil laugh as Anime turned around. She
gave everyone a dark smirk as she said "you're smarter than you look, Renji.
Who would have thought that you would have been able to sense my soul in this
girl's body? But than again you posses three souls inside you. Your own and
two other souls that I'm not aware of but the one that fought me before." Renji
looked at Will with a death glare as she said "how dare you control Anime!
I'll make sure that you pay for that!" Will laughed as he said "like you can
save her! I was able to control her so easily because her heart was weak from
all of the emotions she possessed and because of the darkness that was suppose to
be locked away. I can't believe how she was such a powerful demon until that
one day in a village."

Ryu was shocked at seeing Anime being possessed by Will. He
slowly walked up to Anime saying "Anime I know you can hear me! Snap out of
it! You're stronger than you know Anime! Please come back to your friends!"
Will laughed as he said "don't even bother! She's never going to come back!
She's my new body since my other body was weak and destroyed. There's nothing
you cannot save her!" Than Will made both of Anime's weapons appear her keyblade
and her flame blade and was ready to battle. Ryu could only stand there in
disbelief, not wanting to believe what was going on. He just couldn't. Renji
and Masukee both looked at Ryu and they both knew that he was going to stay
out of the battle for they knew that he could never hurt Anime after what
happened.

Masukee grabbed her ice sword and said "ready Renji-chan?" Renji
nodded and made her lightning blade appear saying "I may not like the idea on
fighting Anime but it's the only way to save her I guess."Than Renji and
Masukee charged at Anime hoping that with Will controlling her that she
wouldn't be much of a challenge. Renji took a swing, but it missed as Will
jumped in the air but than Masukee jumped in the air as well. But sadly
Masukee's attack didn't hit the mark as Will gave Masukee a swift kick to the
chest knocking all the air out of her lungs.She fell to the ground coughing as
she said "ok this is going to be harder than we thought." Renji landed next to
Masukee as she said "yeah this is going to be hard. I guess with Will
controlling Anime he has all of her fighting skills. If that is possible." Will
slowly walked up to them with a dark smirk as he said "I'll enjoy killing you.
I haven't had this much fun since I fought Anime the first time. That is until
she killed me the first time."

Masukee sadly said "this is just like when I met
Anime the first time. She has the eyes of a killer. But deep down she's a
prisoner deep within herself. With no escape." Renji nodded as she said "well
looks like I've got no choice. It's James's fight now Masukee I hope that you
and James can handle this cause I can't stand to fight her."Than Renji's soul
was switched with James's soul and he said "Will... I'm sorry, but I must
fight you. I am so sorry for what happened 20 years ago I really am. But your
soul has been tainted with darkness and therefor I must stop you at all
costs." Than James and Masukee charged at Will again this time making contact.
Will only got a scratch though but gave a small gash to James and Masukee.
Masukee asked "how are we going to beat him?" James stood up as he said "I'm
not sure...

He knows all of Anime's moves and she was a great general. Her
heart is slowly going to the darkness. Unless we find a way to stop Will and
save Anime, her heart will be swallowed up by the darkness forever."Masukee
stared at Anime with a sad look as she said "she's like a dog trapped in a
cage. She wants to be free, but can't. This is a battle that she can't win, is
it?" James sadly said "I'm not sure Masukee. If her heart is stronger than
Will's power than she has a winning chance but sadly she hasn't shown a sign
of fighting back." Will laughed again and said "she doesn't excised anymore!
She's long gone! And she won't come back! Her heart has completely disappeared
to the darkness!" Masukee charged at Will yelling "SHUT UP YOU SON OF A BITCH!"
She took a swing at Will and managed to make a deep gash in the shoulder. Will
chuckled saying "was that supose to hurt? All damage done to me only hurts
Anime not me. so die!"

Than he made his claws glow and it hit Masukee and she
went flying but only got back up and charged again. Will sighed as he said
"don't you ever give up!?"Masukee smiled while saying "sadly no! I don't know
when to give up cause I just don't like to give up!" Than her sword clashed
with both of Will's swords and they were evenly matched. Which of course
surprised Will. He said "how can you have such power?!" Masukee smiled as she
said "it's like how Anime was powerful! She used her power to protect when she
met us! She always protected us and now it's our turn to protect her from
you!"Will was surprised at this and said "well where's her great power now
huh? If she was as powerful you say she was she would have been able to stop
me by now!"

Than Masukee kicked Will in the chest which made him go flying as
she yelled "JUST SHUT UP! SHE'S STRONG, STRONGER THAN YOU EVER WILL BE! YOU
MAY HAVE HER BODY BUT NOT HER POWER!" Than Masukee ran toward Will giving him
a jump spin kick which made him skid across the ground. He got up and could
only laugh saying "this is a bunch of fun! I haven't had this much fun in a
long time!"Ryu walked in front of Will and sadly said "Anime! Please fight
this! I know your stronger than him! You're stronger than he is Anime! You're
not weak! Your heart is stronger than anything! I know you're stronger than
anyone I've ever known! Please come back to us!" Will smirked as he swung his
claws at Ryu. Ryu went flying in pain. Will was about to say something until
there was a voice that screamed out "RYU-KUN!" Will held his head with both
hands and groaned in pain.Ryu looked up with a painful expression as he
painfully said "Anime?" Anime yelled out "Renji-chan! Masukee-chan! Ryu-kun! One
of you has to kill me!"

Everyone gasped as Ryu said "Anime how do you expect
one of us to kill you?!" Anime cried slightly as she said "I know it's hard to
do, but one of you have too! Before Will tries to take control again,
please... I'm begging you! I don't want to be the cause of your death I
couldn't handle that! I never forgave myself when I was a general! I couldn't
handle another innocent person's death! Please kill me!"Everyone started to
cry, knowing that Anime was right. they couldn't stop her unless she was able
to hold Will off and at this point they could only kill her. Renji talked to
James in his head saying 'James... I hate to say this but Anime's right... We
have to kill her...' James nodded with a sad look and walked up to Anime
saying "Anime... Renji told me to kill you... She knows that she doesn't want
to but as you wish she'll do it."Anime weakly nodded as a tear slid down her
face saying "I know it must be hard for everyone but it has to be done after all the
horrible things I've done... I'm so sorry."

Than James used the lightning
blade and stabbed Anime in the heart. She fell to the ground with tears
rolling down her face. Ryu ran to her and held her in his arms saying "Anime
please don't leave!" She weakly looked at Ryu with a small smile saying "I
know it's hard Ryukun, but it had to be done... I couldn't be saved and
nothing can be done about it... I'm sorry... and before I do go you should
know that I was never mad at you from the start so you were worrying over
nothing..."She closed her eyes slowly as Ryu cried his eyes out, saying
"Anime, please don't leave! Please don't leave us! Why is this happening!?"

Than a little girl showed up saying "there's a way to save her..." Everyone
looked up at the girl saying "how?" She calmly said "you must place this sutra
over her heart it should save her but sadly she won't have her memories... All
of her memories of who she is and about her life and mostly all of you will be
gone... She won't remember any of you at all." Ryu looked back at Anime than
at the girl and said "I can save her memories... I'm sure of it!" The girl
nodded and gave Ryu the sutra and he asked "why are you helping her anyway?"
The girl calmly said "she has suffered so many things in her life that no one
deserves even after she killed me. After she killed me was when she gave up
being a general and returned to normal because of me... I was able to return
the light to her heart and seal the darkness away... well it's time for me to
go back where I belong. I'm glad that I was able to help her again good
bye..."

Than the girl disappeared and Ryu placed the sutra on Anime's chest
where the sword once was. After awhile the wound healed and Ryu made his hand
glow making some strange orbs appear than in a flash they all disappeared.
Renji got control over her body again and asked "is she alright?" Ryu placed
his ear close to Anime to listen for a heart beat... and there it was.He
looked back at them as Masukee asked "well is she alive?" Ryu nodded as he
said "yeah she's alive. I could hear her heart beat returning. She's still
with us." Than he turned to face Anime again and saw that she was slowly
opening her eyes. Renji asked "Anime are you alright?" Anime looked around as
she asked "who are you people? and Who am I?"
