(The game that was referred to as, "Tell Me True," was still going on as everyone looked around curiously. Mikita smiled maliciously toward Sesshomaru.)
Mikita: Hmm… Sesshomaru. Tell me true: Do you ever masturbate?
Sesshomaru: No.
(Sesshomaru had an uncaring tone when he responded and Leona looked at the crystal ball's results.)
Leona: …He was telling the truth.
Lutious: Damn, dude! What is wrong with you?
(Lutious and Miroku laughed and Leona rolled her eyes.)
Leona: Cut it out guys. Okay Sesshomaru. Your turn to ask someone a question.
(He did not wish to ask a question. He looked over at Mikita, who looked at him like, "Well…?")
Sesshomaru: Tell me true: Can I leave now?
Mikita: Truth be told, I cannot tell a lie: Why not? Knock yourself out.
(Once Mikita noticed that Sesshomaru's eyes were focused on something behind her, she looked back and saw what he saw: Inuyasha carrying Kagome's body toward them with a saddened expression.)
Sango: Inuyasha…
Inuyasha: …She's gone.
Miroku: Gone?
Inuyasha: Tsuyoku took her soul… He tricked her.
Mikita: (Arm gesture) Yes!
(There was silence after Mikita's little display of joy.)
Mikita: What? Someone has to be happy about it.
(At that moment, Keera and Sakura poofed in. Keera looked at Mikita with a dissatisfied expression.)
Keera: Sakura said you'd be here…
(She then acquired a confused appearance as she looked around at the surroundings.)
Keera: …Where is here exactly?
Sakura: This is the Feudal Era.
Keera: Oh… I didn't think you were serious. So, these people are demons too?
Sakura: Well (points to Sango) that one's a demon slayer (points to Miroku) and that one's a perverted monk. Not all of them are demons.
Keera: (Points to Sango) If she's a demon slayer, then she sure isn't doing her job quite right. There are still demons around… (Glares at Mikita) like her.
Mikita: Why are you so hostile toward me, terd?
Keera: I can't believe you have to ask! You are ruining my sister's life!
Mikita: Yep, and I'm enjoying every moment of it, although her annoying thoughts are getting on my nerves. I can't hear myself think anymore. I want my own body back, damn it!
(She slammed her hands down on the ground, but then she looked over at Inuyasha holding Kagome's body and got an idea. This idea made her smile, the kind of smile that didn't seem very kind.)
Mikita: Inuyasha. Put Kagome's body down.
Inuyasha: Why?
Mikita: Because I said. Just do it.
(Inuyasha placed Kagome's body on the ground carefully and looked questioningly at Mikita as she walked closer. She knelt down next to Kagome's body and placed one hand on her forehead and the other on her stomach. Suddenly Mikita's soul transferred from Okashi's body to Kagome's, shocking Inuyasha and all others around. Well, except for Sesshomaru and Hiei pretty much. Kagome's body then took Mikita's form and she opened her eyes. As for Okashi's body, it was back to normal. Keera was surprised to see that her sister's body had returned and she ran over to her side. Mikita stood up and examined her new host.)
Mikita: This will have to do for now. I hated stooping back to this level, but at least I don't have to share with her soul.
Inuyasha: What happened? What about Kagome?
Mikita: Relax wussy. I'll take good care of her precious little body while I'm borrowing it, at least until I get my own body back. Man I've had to jump between so many bodies in my lifetime. Am I even considered alive anymore? Jeez!
Miroku: There's something I don't understand though. Mikita, how were you able to take the form of yourself while you were in someone else's body?
Mikita: Let's just say that my shape-shifting skills are slowly returning. Unfortunately, this is all I can do for now until I brush up my abilities. I'm just glad that I don't have to hear that Okashi girl's whining anymore.
(Okashi began to open her eyes and she first looked toward Keera.)
Keera: Okashi?
Okashi: Keera… Is mom mad at me?
(Okashi sat up and Keera hugged her.)
Keera: It is you! Oh thank goodness!
Mikita: Yes, it's your pathetic, annoying sister. Happy? Now go back home to your mommy.
(Okashi stood up weakly until she gained her balance. She stared strongly at the demon that had possessed her. Mikita did not even notice. She was too busy examining the school uniform that she was once again stuck wearing.)
Mikita: Aww… Not again.
(Keera tugged on her sister's arm gently to get her attention.)
Keera: Okashi. Come on. We do need to get back to mom.
(Okashi remembered what had happened with her mother thanks to Mikita and she looked down cheerlessly.)
Okashi: …Mom.
(The return home would not be an easy one for Okashi. She knew that, but what she didn't know is whether to tell her mother the truth. Approaching her house aroused the tension within her already. She didn't know what would await her. As she walked closer, she saw her mother waiting near the door with a tear-stained face.)
Mother: Okashi…
Okashi: Mom!
(She started to run over to her, but police officers ran up to her and grabbed her arms.)
Okashi: Hey! What's going on?
Officer 1: We caught the runaway daughter, Okashi.
Officer 2: Confirmed. The girl is in custody.
Okashi: What are you doing?
Officer 1: We have to take you downtown for questioning ma'am.
Okashi: What! But… Wait!
(She reached out for her mother, but the men pulled her away and led her to the police vehicle.)
Okashi: MOM!
(Her cry for her mother was loud with a frightened tone. Her mother's eyes bulged up with tears once again as she placed her hand over her mouth. She had to look away, for the sight was too hard for her to handle. Sakura and Keera were watching from within the bushes nearby.)
Keera: No! Okashi!
Sakura: Come on! We'll kill those demons.
Keera: No Sakura! We can't just go charging at the police! They are authority figures! They're not demons… Well most of them.
Sakura: So some
of them are demons?
Keera: I didn't mean that literally.
Sakura: Then what do you mean? I'm confused. Are authority figures more powerful than demons?
Keera: You really are a lot like your sister. Hey… You know what? Authority figures aren't stronger than demons. We can get Okashi out of this… We just have to be sneaky in the process.
Sakura: Say no more. Sneaky is my middle name… Well, actually Kyra is my middle name…
(Keera rolled her eyes and grabbed Sakura by the arm as they ran off to think of an escape plan for Okashi. She was taken down to the police station for further questioning, which frightened the innocent Christian girl as she looked around the cramped up, gloomy room.)
Officer: Okashi. I understand that you deliberately ran away from home. Is that correct?
Okashi: No. I didn't. It was—
Officer: Okashi, your mother grounded you for your bad behavior and when she came back, you were gone.
Okashi: I know, but…
Officer: But what?
(She didn't know how to answer. If she told them the truth about it, they would send her to a nut house for sure! The policeman saw that she was hesitant to answer, so he continued his questioning.)
Officer: After a careful investigation of the many murders that have been committed since the arrival of your new image as Mikita, we have taken DNA samples from various locations and confirmed that it was in fact your DNA.
Okashi: What! But that's not true! I would never kill anybody.
Officer: Our investigations are final madam. A week from now, we have scheduled a court case for you. Your mother set you up with a lawyer already, so you will wait in Cell 29 until further notice.
Okashi: Cell 29? You mean I'm in prison?
Officer: Yes. You will remain in the juvenile detention center until your court date arrives.
Okashi: But this isn't fair! It wasn't me!
Officer: Save all pleading for your testimony. Come with me. You get one phone call.
(Okashi was in such disbelief that all of this was happening, all because of Mikita. She was shaking as she held the phone within her hands.)
Okashi: Mom… Please get me out of here.
(Her mother was on the other side of the glass holding her phone as well. Her face was discolored with tearstains and her voice was quivering as she spoke.)
Mother: Okashi… Honey, I can't. You have to realize what you've done wrong.
Okashi: But it wasn't me! It wasn't my fault! …It was someone else.
(Her tear glands secreted a small amount of tears as she looked into her mother's eyes. It was hurting both of them deep inside.)
Officer: All right Okashi. Your time is up.
Okashi: Wait, I have to tell her something…
Officer: Sorry ma'am. You've already exceeded your limit.
(The officer took the phone from her hands and hung it up, leaving Okashi with her sobbing. Her mother covered her face and turned away with sorrow. Mikita had caused so much damage, and what did she have to say after all of this?)
Mikita: I'm bored.
Inuyasha: Well if you're so bored then let's go after your father!
Leona: No way. Not yet. We all need to train harder and strategize for at least a couple of days. We can't just jump right into battle.
Inuyasha: So what? I always have.
Leona: Well this is different! …Okay? This is not Naraku. Tsuyoku is a whole other character to deal with. He has as much power and strength as Naraku and more. It won't be as easy as you think it will.
Inuyasha: I don't care. It was my duty to protect Kagome and now her soul is in the hands of evil.
Miroku: What do you think he has planned?
Karasu: Something evil?
Hiei: Obviously.
(Tsuyoku was in his lair conducting a malicious plan. There was a tomb in front of him, and in his hands he held the orb containing Kagome's soul.)
Tsuyoku: This creepy woman has been brought back so many times; it's not even funny.
(He placed the orb within a round crevice upon the tomb and a light emitted from it.)
Tsuyoku: The lie that the mortal pulled on that half-breed would have really been a desire of that foolish girl. Why I am practically making her wish come true.
(The coffin opened its own door and a strange light shone out from within. Once the casket's door opened completely, there stood the priestess Kikyo. She was being resurrected once again as she opened her eyes.)
Tsuyoku: Now that you have a real body and not an imitation body, I have also completed you with your entire soul, priestess Kikyo. I have brought you back because I require your assistance: To kill that half-breed Inuyasha. Man I'm really starting to sound more like Naraku. (Sigh) Oh well, I'm the new and improved Naraku.
(He looked over Kikyo's body and smiled a cruel smile, licking his lips.)
Tsuyoku: Of course I think I'll have my fun with you before I release you.
(He took hold of her arm, but she grabbed his arm with her other hand and burned a deep wound into it, causing him to shout and release her.)
Kikyo: You will do nothing of the sort. I did not even desire to return to this world. Where did you get this body?
Tsuyoku: You really don't wanna know sweetie.
Kikyo: I'd advise you not call me that. What happened to Kagome?
Tsuyoku: The mortal girl that had your soul? Oh, she lent her soul out to you for a while.
Kikyo: I'm assuming you had something to do with it?
Tsuyoku: You think you're smart, do you? Well I'm not like Naraku. You can't win against me just like that.
(With a smirk upon his face, he healed the wound that she had inflicted upon his arm with ease. This brought a bit of surprise to Kikyo as she remained within the coffin. Tsuyoku jerked her roughly from the coffin and pulled her closer to him. Their faces were merely centimeters apart. His expression depicted an evil satisfaction, whereas hers shone with disgust and anger.)
Tsuyoku: You will do as I say or I will make you remain immortal forever. You will never rest peacefully in the afterlife, but you will remain here… being tortured daily by yours truly.
Kikyo: You are much worse than Naraku. You stoop lower than him. You are despicable!
Tsuyoku: Thank you sweetheart. You haven't even gotten a glimpse of my power just yet.
----
Goodness! Tsuyoku is evil! Many readers have in fact pointed that out. How will Inuyasha and the others defeat him? Why did he bring back Kikyo to kill Inuyasha? Could it be that he likes to toy with people's emotions like Naraku? Well… never mind. It's obvious that's a yes. Sick pervert. Lutious and Miroku are kind gentlemen compared to him! And what about Kagome? Will her soul and body ever reunite again? Will Mikita ever get her own body back if Sesshomaru gets his Tenseiga returned to him? Will Okashi's trial prove her innocent or guilty? All these questions and nobody to answer them just yet, so you'll just have to think on them for a while.
