Let the Test...BEGIN

Kagome was sitting by a nearby river. It was early, the sun having risen only a few minutes ago. Hao was in the tree above her, one leg swinging back and forth.

"Hao, when do we meet this guy? I want to get this over with. I hate waiting."

"Patience is a virtue Kagome. You can wait a couple more hours." Kagome glanced up and raised a brow.

"Just answer me this...how long is a 'couple more hours'?"

"...8, maybe 9." Her eyes widened and with a sigh she stood up and started walking away.

"Hey, where are you going?"

"Don't know, don't care." Hao looked up at the sky once more before jumping from the tree and following after her before he was pulled to the ground by the chain.

-x-x-x-

Anna watched as the little demonic kitten observed Yoh. She had been doing so since she got here.

"Hey Kitty, you're not spying on us are you?" Kilala looked up at her and mewed. Anna smiled.

"That's silly, even if you're a demon. I doubt you would do anything a human told you to do."

"Anna, who are you talkin—"

"352 more push-up's Yoh, no talking!"

"AUGH!" Anna smirked as he fell face first in the dirt.

-x-x-x-

Ren stood in front of the Patch Village examiner.

"Are you ready? You have 3 minutes. If you can hit me, you qualify for the Shaman Fights."

"Let's just get this over with."

"JUN!"

Ren turned and saw Kagome running up to his sister with Hao behind her.

"Asakura..." He spat in annoyance.

'They're like roaches; you can't get rid of them.'

"Hey, what are you two doing here?"

"Kagome said she sensed Ren so we came here to watch him fight."

"Go Ren, You Can Do It!" He turned away and blushed.

"That fight starts...NOW!"

"BASON, OVERSOUL MODE, BASON INTO THE KWAN-DAO!" Kagome smiled as a Kwan Dao formed the small staff he had.

"Kagome...we have to go." Ho said suddenly.

"What? Why?" She asked, not looking up.

"Our fight is starting soon and we need your spirits."

"Already? Oh...darn, Jun, tell me how he does, okay?"

"Right."

Kagome suddenly felt his arms wrap around her waist as they burst into flames and were teleported in front of the camp where SOF sat behind some trees.

"Opacho, do you have my pretty marble?" Kagome asked the little African girl.

"Opacho let no one near it." Opacho said as she took it off from around her neck and handed it to Kagome.

"Alright then, I need to go, I have my entrance fight now."

"Good luck Kagome-Chan." Mari and Macchi said, though both with different tones.

"Good luck Hao-Sama, Kagome-San." Kagome stared in surprise at Kanna but smiled brightly.

"Thanks. We will be back in a few more days. I still have to meet the creepy Iron Maiden lady. See you guys soon." They once more vanished in the inferno of red and orange hues, this time appearing right below a star that sparkled brighter than the others.

"Pretty..." Kagome said, looking up at the beautiful sky.

"Get your eyeful because it may be the last time you see it again." She looked down to see the feathery person from the other day. He looked to be only 16 at the most. He had dark brown almost black hair to his shoulders and grey/silvery eyes.

"Hey cutie, what's your name?" Hao's eyes widened and he sighed when the examiner blushed.

"His name is Zinc, an ally of mine. Of course, I still have to go through this stupid test." Hao said for him.

"Well Zinc, I've only been a Shaman for four or five week's...so go easy on me, K."

"Like I'm going to buy that; if you are working with Hao-Sama you have to be good. I also don't think that you're telling the truth about how long you've been a shaman."

"Actually, she is." Zinc stared in surprise when he suddenly remembered why he was there.

"Let's get this fight started. You have three minutes and within that time limit...you have to hit me. Land one hit and you continue to the first of three fights." Kagome nodded.

"Let the fight...oh yeah, could you hold on a second. Hao why don't you go first while I talk with Sesshoumaru and Hakudoshi, please?"

"Fine."

"Huh?" Zinc watched as she turned away from him and two spirits appeared next to her, they started talking and he raised a brow when a game of rock paper scissors started up between the two spirits.

"Ignore her for now, I know the rules. Three minutes is more than enough time." Zinc paled only slightly before nodding.

"SOF COME TO ME, KUROBINA!" Hao started glowing and was suddenly engulfed by a red glow. Zinc put his armor of Furyoku in place and managed to dodge a few blasts only to see a smirk on Hao's face before leaning forward from a hit to his side.

"Winner, Hao Asakura."

"Alright, I'm ready." She said as she played with a charm on the necklace around her neck.

Zinc nodded. She gave him a few minutes to recuperate from the hit. Only when he stood up straight did she walk forward.

She gave a smirk and the charm in her hands glowed causing him to look up, watching her intently.

"Sesshoumaru, oversoul mode, Sesshoumaru, into Tokijin." The sword started to glow golden and with speed Zinc wasn't aware she had she disappeared and reappeared next to him. He brought his hand up, forming a shield quickly and evading her attack in time. She stared in confusion before giving him a smile and once more vanishing. Only this time...he didn't see her reappear. He looked around almost frantically when...she landed a blow in his gut, the sword on the reverse so not to cause any real damage.

"Did I win?" Kagome asked him sweetly.

Zinc stared at her, shock evident on his features. He sighed before nodding, his Furyoku dispersing right in front of her.

"YAY!" She ran up to Hao who stood only a few feet away, hugging him tightly.

"Good job, I told you that it would be an easy job for you." He said, his arms wrapping around her waist.

"I owe that to my brother."

"Your brother?" Zinc asked.

"Yes," She released her Furyoku too and Sesshoumaru stood next to her. "This is my older brother Sesshoumaru; he was once the Lord of the Western Lands. He is an Inu Taiyoukai. Cool huh. My other brother is younger...well, actually he is a lot older than me but still my younger brother, I don't know what kind of demon he is though. His name is Hakudoshi and he has an awesome ride...which, now that I think of it, where is Entei?" She asked.

Hakudoshi's eyes widened, he had seemingly forgotten the flaming steed.

Placing his thumb and middle finger together he whistled loudly, everyone within a 50 mile radius had to cover their ears.

-x-x-x-

Anna held her hands to her ears along with Parika as both Horo Horo and Yoh hid their heads beneath the blankets they had been using to keep warm.

-x-x-x-

Manta who had been sitting in a dinner with Ryu and his gang also wasn't enjoying the high-pitched whistling. The glass in his hand shattered as did many others.

"What is that?" Manta cried, his fingers pushed painfully into his eardrums.

"I don't know my short friend, maybe something is dying."

"Maybe Yoh will know, or Anna." Manta said, standing up with the others and running out of the dinner, money left on the table.

-x-x-x-

"Ren, do you hear that or am I just losing my mind?"

"I hear it. To think, I thought nothing could annoy me more than those stupid Asakura's."

"Ah, it's lethal."

"When I find out what is making that horrible sound, I'll kill it." Jun looked over and watched the purple spike on his head grow with irritation.

-x-x-x-

"...it's time." A faraway voice said softly.
