Chapter: 23 – The Power of Love

"Wait! This cabinet is different. It has files in it." Danny walked up to Star Fire and the opened cabinet in front of her.

They both began pulling out files and reading them. They would blurt out anything important.

"Well this one's a dud. Why don't you open some more," Danny said.

"But how will I know which ones?" Star Fire wondered.

Danny began thinking and then realized that there was no way of knowing which cabinet contained a boy or which contained files. "Just break them all," he said as he joined her.

Star Fire barley wanted to look when she opened one with a body; but the ones that contained files were never that much important. "That's strange,"

"What is it?" Danny asked as he walked over to her.

"This cabinet contains only letters 'Y'."

Danny looked around, and then thought of something. "Maybe they're in alphabetical order," he said looking up at the cabinets that needed ladders to reach. "Good thing we can fly," he said as he gently rose from the ground. Star Fire closed the 'Y' cabinet and followed him.

"Hey look," Danny said. "There's little letters on the doors of these cabinets."

"Do you think that they're files of 'B'?" Star Fire wondered.

"Only one way to find out," Danny said as he froze the door then busted it open. He pulled out the door and looked at the files. He was right. They were all files of 'B'. He smiled. "Ok, look around and tell me what you find," Danny ordered.

Star Fire nodded and flew around looked for a letter that might be more helpful. She saw 'K'. The first thing that came to her mind was Kida. She opened the door.

Star Fire gasped.

"What?"

"Check this out," she said as Danny flew over to her. "It's a whole file on Kida."

"What's it say?"

"The incomparable half demon, Kida, has the powers of 10 demons combine. Just to think of the power is unthinkable. Recently a strong demon had taken over her body, and she was even powerful enough to overcome it. Now even more demons in the region are trying to get to her and her powers," Star Fire read.

"That must include Prince Caspian," Danny said.

They both stared at each other wide eyed. But there was something else there…and they both felt a tingle in their gut. But what was it?

Danny flew backwards as Star Fire put the files back and closed the door. She joined Danny at the 'P' file. He was looked for something. "Got it," he said as he pulled it out and read. "Prince Caspian was a nice, peaceful ruler, until a huge dragon demon devoured him and regained power. He made himself look like the Prince to fool the castle but he really was a despicable beast. In time, he devoured even more people of the castle and became unstoppable. Now travelers believe he is a nice Prince, until he puts them into his potion. His potion will be complete on the night of love, where true love conquers all. At 11:00pm the spell will be complete and Caspian will be strong enough to be the ruler of the world!" Danny finally finished.

Both were astonished. "What's the night of love?" Star Fire asked, feeling the same feeling she did when she stared into Danny's eyes a few moments ago.

Danny thought for a moment. He then knew what it meant. "Valentines Day!"

"What?"

"My people use to talk about a legend about love. We knew that love existed but there had to be a whole day where everyone celebrated it," Danny said.

"And…" Star Fire said.

"On the night where love is in the air, where pink light surrounds the sky, the night of Valentines Day. When times were hard and power never worked then love would be the next great power. Love Conquers All. It's a saying we used to use…I remember it…nothing is more powerful then love…I think there was a date on here," Danny said looking back at the folder. He gasped.

"What?"

"It's today!"

"Well what do we do?" Star Fire wondered.

Danny suddenly turned to her after a long pause. "The file you found on Kida. Caspian must be using her for his potion. So when the clock strikes 11 then she's done for! We've got to save her!" Danny said. They suddenly flew towards the exit just as it slammed in their faces and left them in the darkness.

'Yeah but who's gonna save us?' Star Fire thought.

"Whoa! What is all this stuff?"

"Mechanics," Winry answered Akina.

As everyone looked around the room they noticed that they were in an armory.

"We can totally use this stuff to kill Naraku!" Koga said grabbing a cannon.

"How about we focus on Prince Caspian first? Like what his plan is," Kohaku said.

"How do you work this thing?!" Koga said, completely ignoring Kohaku.

"We cannot use them here…unless you want to get killed." Everyone turned to Winry. "Every device in here is about to go off; one wrong move and you're dead."

Everyone backed away from the weapons, as instructed.

As everyone talked about the situation Winry was looking around. She found an old book, shoved in the back of a shelf. She took it out and blew the dust of the cover and opened it and read it to herself. "When darkness surrounds you, and there is no way to get out…look to love. Love is your light, your key, your savior."

"That's it! If we can't use these weapons then I'll use my own strength to kill…"

The door slammed shut; right before Koga could walk out of the room or finish his sentence. Then…the lights went out. Darkness surrounded the room. They were looked in.

"What happened?" Sena asked.

Every room, as well as the hallways have turned to black. Every light was off, and every person was confused. Kina tried her crystal like last time, but for some reason…it didn't work.

"What the hell?!" She shouted.

She looked around, but there was no way of creating light.

"What do we do sister?" Sena asked very scared.

But Kina didn't say anything. They both grabbed each others hands and held tight. "Do not let go of me. Do you understand?" Kina said.

"Mm-hm," Sena said softly.

"This way Al, I see a light," Ed said running.

"Brother slow down!"

Ed kept running until suddenly, the lights went out. Like every other hall way, there was no light anywhere.

"Brother! Where are you?!"

"Chill Al, I'm right here," Ed said touching Al's arm.

Ed turned to where he had seen the light…it was still on. "Al look!"

Al turned to where the light was. "A pink light!"

"Come on Al!" Ed said running to it.

Al followed, heading straight for the light until white surrounded everywhere that they couldn't even see where they were going, but knew they were in a room.

"What the…?"

"What's wrong?" Star Fire asked.

"I can't create a light with my power," Danny said.

Star Fire tried as well but it didn't work. "I don't understand," she said.

Danny sighed. There was a small light where they stood, they didn't know what it was coming from but they were able to see each other's faces. Star Fire saw Danny walked over to the cabinets and randomly opening one; or was it random? He pulled out a file and walked over to Star Fire.

"What is that?"

"A file on 'V'. Thankfully it was at the bottom of the alphabet and nearest to the light so it was easy to find it."

"What is it on?"

"Valentines Day," Danny answered.

Danny opened the file and began searching around. "Hey check this out," he said showing Star Fire the file. "It says here that Valentines Day is now a national holiday. It shows that if you truly love someone then you can conquer your enemies. Sometimes that's all you need…is a little love, and pink light shall show you the way," Danny read. But then he suddenly froze. He looked down at the light shining through the door. It was pink! "No way!"

"What do we do?" Star Fire asked.

Danny took a deep breath. "There's only one thing we can do," he said.

Star Fire froze; she had an idea of what he was talking about. "If you trust in love…" Danny said.

"Then you can conquer anything," Star Fire finished.

Star Fire stepped closer and reached for Danny's face. Danny suddenly dropped the folder as StarFire kissed him!! And he kissed her back! And they meant it, they really did!! A long moment passed and they heard the sound of a lock…unlocking! They looked towards the door and saw it open slightly! Danny opened it the rest of the way. They were free! They looked into the dark hallway and saw the pink light. Danny took Star Fire's hand as they walked towards it. It got brighter as they walked, turning from pink to white as they entered a room.

"I can't see a thing!" Koga shouted.

"What happened?" Kagome asked as she held Shipo tightly.

"Darkness," Winry said.

"How do we get out of here?" Kohaku said.

A long pause silenced them.

"You have to believe in love," Winry finally said.

"Believe in love?! But what if your love isn't here?" Kagome said.

"And what if you don't have a love?" Kohaku said.

"We all have a loved one, no matter who it is," Winry said.

Kohaku thought of his sister, he closed his eyes and didn't say a word.

"Think of your loved one, and hopefully it'll work," Winry continued.

Kagome thought of Inuyasha, and was very worried about him.

Back at the cat demon's town Shipo had first set his eyes on the fox demon San, he thought that she was the most beautiful thing he has ever seen. But would it work if he didn't love her yet because he doesn't know her yet?

Koga thought of Kagome, feeling what he always felt about her, but still had a feeling that she didn't love him back. He couldn't even find out where she was in the room.

Akina thought of her sisters, worried about them both.

And Winry thought about Ed. She had always had "more then friend" feelings for him, but couldn't tell him; she wondered if he felt the same way about her.

After the long period of silence had passed as small light shined through the crack of the door. It then opened in front of their eyes. A pink light was in front of them, they couldn't see anything beyond it.

"It worked!" Shipo said happily.

"Let's go!" Winry said.

They all left the armory and walked towards the pink light that soon turned white as they entered the room.

Although they had no idea what was going on, and they had not thought of anything. They still saw the pink light to their right. They were sisters, they didn't have to think of anything but each others safety, they loved each other no matter what; and Kina always thought of her youngest sister's safety the most.

"Come on Sena," she said as she pulled her little sister towards the light.

Like everyone else, the light turned white as they entered the strange room.

Now Ed, Al, Danny, Star Fire, Kina, Sena, Akina, Kagome, Shipo, Koga, Winry, and Kohaku were in the mysterious room together. They all met up with each other happily in the middle of the room…well not exactly. Half of the room was blocked by a magical pink barrier. They stared at it. Inside the barrier was a giant dragon demon. As they looked closer, their vision becoming clearer they saw a huge glass case containing Ali! Next to her was a HUGE machine with Kida hanging from it at the top!

"HA, HA, HA!!"

They all looked at Caspian as he stared at them all evilly. "You all have finally come to join the show."

"Kida!" Kina shouted.

"It's useless, she cannot hear you," Caspian said. He slithered over to his machine and began typing.

"No! Leave her alone!"

Some of the group ran over to the barrier but it electrocuted them and blasted them backwards. They then heard a voice.

"Taste my Wind Scar!!"

"Inuyasha!" Kagome shouted happily as Inuyasha's Wind Scar blasted the barrier. He came into the bright room with his Tetsiga red; but it didn't break the barrier!! "What?!" Inuyasha said. "NO!" He slammed his sword on the barrier but was shocked and flew backwards.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome called.

Inuyasha rubbed his head. He blinked twice and saw Kagome running over to him. "Kagome!" He said standing. "Are you ok?"

"Yes, I am now," Kagome said.

Soon Sango, Miroku, and Jason walked into the room.

They walked over to the barrier and stared angrily in it. Kida began glowing pink, as well as the machine. Everyone's eyes widened.

"No! Leave her alone!"

"Not gonna happen! Her power is being transferred into my machine that will soon suck into my body! Nothing can stop me now! And nothing can break my barrier!" Caspian shouted. The machine then started counting…

"5…4...3...2...1…"

Kida did not scream but she grew even more lifeless by the moment. Her pink glow traveled through the machine and into two pipes held by Caspian. He was planning on injecting them into his body!!

He took the pipes and jagged them into his mouth. Power and electricity traveled everywhere in the barrier, surprisingly the shock didn't kill Caspian because he was a demon, but it did make him even more powerful! Caspian grew twice his size, the gang barley believe that they could stop him. He began laughing maniacally. "Now it's time to die!!" He shouted as he reached for Kida.

"No!!"

Suddenly a blue blast shot through the air and hit Caspian to the wall.

"What the…?" He said looked up.

Another blue blast shot at the machine and cute Kida down! Something in super speed caught her and zoomed away before the part of the machine that had been cut fell on them. They rolled then landed on their knee with Kida in their arms. Everyone gasped.

"Sesshomaru?!"

Sesshomaru stared at Kida deeply, she was not moving.

"How can I wake her?" He said to himself. He heard laughter. He turned to Caspian about to stand up.

"You fool! Nothing can wake her! You're in a powerful Love Barrier! Nothing but love can work here!" He said.

"A Love Barrier?!" Sesshomaru said looking down at her.

The rest of the group thought about that. Winry gasped. "I got it!"

Everyone turned to her. "When we were all stuck in the rooms, in the dark, we had to think of love to show us the light to guide us here," she said. "But that won't be enough here."

"And what do we have to do to get into the barrier?" Inuyasha asked.

"We have to feel it."

Everyone looked at each other.

"If you feel it, then you can pass through the barrier," Winry finished.

"Feel it," Inuyasha said silently. He looked at his hand. "Feel…" His eyes widened. "Hold hands!"

He looked over at Kagome; she was staring at him silently. He took a few steps towards her, and her to him. He reached his hand out and grabbed her hand; they held each other tightly. They then looked at the barrier, at Sesshomaru and Kida…Sesshomaru staring at him. He took a deep breath. They then took a slow step towards the barrier. They gasped. It worked! They had felt love, they believed in it. They passed through the barrier!! Soon everyone else followed their lead.

Without looking, Danny grabbed Star Fire's hand. She smiled as they stepped through the barrier.

Miroku looks over at Sango, she blushed. They took each others hands. Miroku took a step forward but Sango didn't take a step. Miroku looked over at her confused. She looked down…at Kohaku. She still loved Kohaku with all her heart. She wondered if it works with relatives. She took Kohaku's hand, looking into his shy face. She smiled then looked back at Miroku's nice smiling face. Then all three of them took a step into the barrier. It worked! Relatives still love! They love more then anyone! They smiled as they hugged each other.

Three hands grabbed onto each other. Kina then Akina then Sena. All smiling as they took as step into the barrier.

Ed then reached for Al's hand and smiled. He looked up at his big metal face then over to his left…at Winry. He smiled, and motioned her to come over to him with his head. Winry walked over to him as they took each others hands and blushed. They all three then walked into the barrier.

Koga couldn't help but feel a little jealous of Inuyasha, but he could do nothing about it. He could not pass through the barrier if Kagome didn't feel the same way about him as he does with her…but he will never give up, and will get back at Inuyasha later.

Shipo and Kirara stood behind…as well as Jason. He could not take Ali's hand. He could not save her. Tears filled up in his eyes when he saw his love on the other side of the barrier. Reaching for her would only hurt him. He could not pass, he could not win.

"NO!" He yelled.

Sesshomaru looked back down at Kida.

"True Love," he said.

He put his hand under her head. He brought it up closer as he closed his eyes and leaned into her. His lips gently touched her as they kissed. He loved her…so much. And if Kida loved him the way he thought she did, then she will awake.

A few moments of silence as everyone stared at them. Sesshomaru leaned back and stared into Kida's eyes. Nothing happened.

"HA, HA!" Caspian shouted as he stood. Sesshomaru glared at him angrily. "Poor Sesshomaru, I guess no one loves you!" Sesshomaru growled.

"Mm…ugh…"

Sesshomaru's eyes widened as he looked down at Kida. She was moving! Her head slightly turned towards Sesshomaru's body…although her eyes didn't open Sesshomaru knew that it had worked…Kida was alive!

Sesshomaru smiled. He gently set her down on the floor and walked over to Caspian. He held up his sword as it glowed blue!

"Dragon Strike!"

"HA, HA! As if you're sword alone could stop me!!" Caspian shouted as the blast flew towards him.

"Wind Scar!" Inuyasha shouted.

Then Kina fired crystals and Akina fired flames. Ed and Al joined the attack and sent their Alchemy at him. Kagome got an arrow ready.

"Go!" She shouted as she shot it.

All of the blasts fused together and shot at Caspian at the same time.

"Uh oh," was all he could say before the blasts hit him. Screams of torture sounded through the bright light. And then…nothing.

Sesshomaru rushed over to Kida as she began waking up. Her eyes opened slightly as she looked around confused. She looked at Sesshomaru who bent down by her.

"What I miss?" She said.

Sesshomaru smiled, and Kida smiled back. She looked at the smoke as it began clearing. Sesshomaru helped her up, she felt a strange feeling. Her eyes widened as she saw something moving in the smoke.

"He's not dead?!!" Shipo shouted.

Kida drew both of her swords and placed them together to form one huge sword like Inuyasha's. "The attack is not done yet," she said.

"What are you doing? You're not healed yet?" Sesshomaru said putting his hand on her shoulder.

Kida's eye brows lowered as her sword turned black. "Dark Dragon!" She shouted as her huge black blast shot at Caspian.

She then separated her swords and sheathed them by her sides, taking a deep breath. "Now…it is done," she said kneeling out of breath.

The smoke cleared, and there was nothing there. Every smiled as the barrier disappeared. Jason ran to Ali as he broke the case and caught her as she fell out.

"Ali! Ali!!" He shouted. She wasn't moving. "Wake up Ali!"

"Ali?!" Kida said walking over to them. "When did she get here?" She asked kneeling by them.

"She came to save you, but couldn't save herself," Jason said tearing.

Kida looked at her sadly as she touched her cold skin.

"Is she dead?" Jason asked sadly.

Kida looked at him. "Jason."

Jason didn't say anything. He was scared of what she was going to say.

"Only you can save her…only you can decide if you can."

"What are you talking about? How do I save her?!" Jason said.

"That is for you to find out," she said standing and backing away.

Everyone gathered around but made a circle and not saying anything. Jason was confused. He looked at Ali as a small tear feel from his cheek to hers. He then froze…he remembered Sesshomaru and Kida…he thought very hard. He then reached for his girlfriend and kissed her! A long pause and big smiles surrounded the group, but still no sound came out of them. They just watched silently. Jason backed his head away then looked at Ali's beautiful face.

"Mm…" A big smile rose on Jason's face. Ali was alive! He took her in his arms and hugged her tightly.

"That just goes to show…love conquers anything," Kida said with a smile.

Outside, it was the next day, the sun was shining brightly.

"What do you say of celebrating Valentines Day our own way? Even if it's a little late," Sesshomaru said, holding Kida's hand. Kida smiled.

Sesshomaru walked over to a bush and took out some flowers. He walked over to Kida and gave them to her. She smiled and blushed as she took them and smelled them. They took each others hands and continued walking with the group.

Back at Kaede's…

"AAHH!!!" "DIRTY MUTT!! HOW DARE YOU!! KAGOME IS MINE!!!"

Koga was indeed getting him back.

"Get back here!!!" Inuyasha shouted as she chased Koga.

"Face it mutt, I'm MUCH faster then you!!" Koga shouted as she flipped around and kicked Inuyasha to the ground.

"Break it up now!!" Kagome yelled.

"Idiots," Shipo said.

LOL!!! I LOVE when Inuyasha and Koga fight, it's helarious!! LOL!! Well, my story is almost over: ( but its NOT YET!!! Stay tuned to find out what will go on with this group next!!!
