Entei the Hell Steed
Kagome glared at Hakudoshi when he finally stopped whistling. Hao seemed to be unaffected by the ear piercing noise while Zinc removed his hands from his throbbing ears.
"...oh yeah...cover your ears." Hakudoshi said causing Kagome to tackle him.
"That's not funny!"
"I forgot how weak you humans can be."
"..." She glared at him but said nothing more.

Anna was in the kitchen getting aspirin for all those in her house.
"ANNA!" She winced as her headache thumped painfully from behind her eyes.
"What is it Manta?" She asked, pouring eight pills into her hand. She walked into the living room and handed two to Parika, Yoh and Horo Horo before she took two of the pills herself.
"Do you know what made that sound?" Manta asked in a softer voice when he noticed how peeved she was.
"No."
"Oh..."
Anna watched the Demon Kitten move to the window and hop onto the windowsill. She moved to see what it was staring at and her eyes widened in shock.
"Anna?" Yoh asked, worry lacing his voice.
"Yoh, look at that." She said, he got up and took a look out the window. He stared in surprise. Flying above them in the sky was a huge white horse with fire covering the mane, tip of the tail and hooves.
"What is it?"
"Another demon would be my guess, but what I'm curious about is...where they are all coming from...and why now."
"It looks like something is on its back."
"..." Manta looked at Ryu who shrugged his shoulders in confusion.
"Demons!" Parika cried out as she hid behind her brother.
"I don't know much about them, since I was raised as an Itako. Kagome would be the one to ask. Her family was a line of priests and priestesses. If I know her grandfather...he taught her about demons. If you have questions then go bother her."
"..." Yoh watched the fire horse grow farther away until nothing could be seen.

Hakudoshi hovered in the air, waiting patiently for the loyal steed to arrive. Kagome leaned against a tree, glancing up every few seconds.
"Where is he? If I had known it was going to take so long...I wouldn't have mentioned it." She muttered the last part to herself but Hakudoshi still heard and glared at her before smirking and looking forward.
"He's here, Entei. Ah..."
"What is it?"
"...Kanna."
Kagome stood up and looked to the fiery hoarse heading their way, too far away to see the figure sitting on its back. "Are you sure?" Hakudoshi sent her a look that clearly said, 'You're kidding right?' she sighed.
"So that's Entei huh." Hao jumped from the tree and landed next to Kagome. Zinc walked over to them and stared at Hakudoshi who was now lowering to the ground, Entei following close behind.
"Ah, he's right! It's Kanna!" She smiled and ran forward.
"Kagome, slow down. Entei may not remember you right away. So he may be skittish."
"...right..."
"Hakudoshi...Kagome...It's good to see you again." Kanna said as she jumped lightly from the flaming steed. Her eyes still void of emotion, despite the smile on her face.
"Kanna!" Kagome ignored the horse that stared at her judgingly and hugged the girl tightly, Kanna's arms instinctively wrapped around her. "I'm so happy your okay!"
"I'm not the only one, Shippou, Souten...their okay too."
"I'm aware." She held her hand up and moved the mandarin orange silk sleeve to reveal the three bracelets.
"Demon Energy Bracelets...or something akin to. They gave you their Demon power, that's rare. It's like a guaranteed protection on your life, the ultimate insurance if you will." Kanna said as the two separated, she fingered one of the bracelets before turning to Entei. "We have been waiting to hear from you for a long time, so long, we almost gave up."
"Glad you didn't." Hakudoshi said, petting Entei on the snout.
"Yes well, we didn't have much else to do. With Naraku dead, you dead and Sesshoumaru dead...we were decreasing in numbers, all we could do was sit back a wait."
"Yeah...but I don't think Naraku's dead." Kagome said.
"He has to be."
"We never verified it. He vanished into the ground and that was it."
Hakudoshi watched Sesshoumaru as he exited the small reliquary. "He was waiting."
"For what!" Kagome asked, irritation shown clearly through her eyes.
"..." He looked her in the eyes with a raised brow. "Kagome, you're smarter than that. Didn't you realize when you had that dream what he wanted?"
"...He wants me. He wants to finish our fight 500 years ago."
Zinc rolled his eyes. "Another reincarnation."
"What do you mean by that?" Kagome snapped. Her hair whipped violently around her. He stepped back with wide eyes. Hao appeared behind her and wrapped his arms around her. Heat could be felt at his finger tips.
"He is referring to me. I'm a reincarnation." She calmed down and glared at Zinc before turning to Hao.
"Can you get us all to your camp site?"
"..." He glanced at Kanna before nodding. "Easily, but I do have a question, the albino girl―"
"Kanna."
"Right, Kanna. Is she a Shaman?"
"I am not. I am a void demon. I do have the ability to see things though, if it helps."
"See things?" Hao asked.
Kanna held her hands out and a mirror appeared. She held it close and when he looked into in, it showed them. "The present, anywhere."
"Impressive, Kagome can too though."
"I can't do it on whim though. She has control over the ability. I just get flashes every so often."
"Alright then, shell we go." Hao held Kagome tightly and fire enveloped them and everyone else including the hell steed. They vanished only to reappear before the camp sight of Hao's followers.
"Hao-Sama! Kagome-Chan! Your back! We weren't expecting you for another few days, what happened to meeting the Iron Maiden?" Macchi asked as she placed Opacho down. Opacho ran and jumped onto Kagome's shoulder, a large smile on her face.
"It'll have to wait. We have other problems aside from a domineering bitch who wants to destroy any and all who are not an X-law."
"Something more problematic?" Kanna asked as she flicked a cigarette.
"Oh, two actually." Kagome said with a sheepish smile.
"Oh?" Mari looked at her with an emotionless look.
"Yes, we have two Kanna's."
"..." Kanna played with the rim of her mirror.
"Human Kanna, this is Demon Kanna." The two looked at each other with blank looks before turning to Kagome.
"...I'll think up nicknames later. Right now we have to find Naraku."
"Who? OH, that spider man who marked up your body." Macchi said.
"Yeah, him. Kanna, can you find him?"
"..." Kanna held her mirror and closed her eyes. The mirror looked like a puddle disturbed as it changed to an image. A moving picture suddenly became visible as red eyes stared at them.
"His eyes, he knows we're looking for him. He won't make this easy."
Zinc looked at the eyes before looking away. "He looks more diabolical then Hao does."
"That's because he is."
"...I'm not diabolical...am I?"
Everyone turned to look at Hao before turning to go to their tents. Kagome sat down at the fire with her Kanna, Hakudoshi, Sesshoumaru and Opacho. Entei lay by a tree not too far, watching his master from a distance. Hao stared at Zinc for a second who looked away.
"I'm not diabolical." He pouted.
"Don't pout Hao." Kagome called to him.
"I'm not pouting! I'm sulking, there's a difference."

"Come find me, if you can. In the end...I will win. Kukukukuku..."
