There was one rather short poem Chris remembered back in his village. He could remember it now, every single word to warn him that Dracula might even come back even his brother Julius had sealed the castle.
In
the good old days,
people only knew peace and prosperity.
But
no one thought that perhaps, the days of unease would not come to an
end.
Behind prosperity and peace,
There is invariably
evil.
Those who would reject the people's prosperity,
and
corrupt the peace.
Those who would resurrect the powers of
darkness,
and recreate this corrupted world have gathered.
With
arbitrary smiles,
they eagerly await the recreation.
One
hundred years later,
the evil one is again reborn.
Primarily
preferring to act in the night.
He can alter his form into a bat,
wolf and turn into fog.
He sucks the blood of young women,
to
preserve his eternal life.
Master of Demon Castle,
god of
malice,
Count Dracula has returned.
As he regained his stamina back, Chris rummaged through his backpack for his homework. He took out his stationary set and began writing some mathematical equations for his Additional Maths homework. Unfortunately for him, he had forgotten to bring along his scientific calculator.
"Darn it. Hey Amar, did you bring a calculator along?" He asked.
"No. I had already finished off my all of my homework before I started traveling."
"For someone as smart as you, you're still the speed run champion." Chris told the hanyou.
On the other hand, Sesshomaru was perched on a tree, looking at the duo. At that very moment, he sensed a familiar scent.
Could it be?Then, two figures came. Sesshomaru and Inuyasha recognized one but the other fellow was bit unfamiliar. At the same time, all attention was turned around towards the stranger. Even Chris had stopped working on his homework, looked up and saw someone his clan had been familiar to.
"Father? Is that you?"
"Alucard!"
Everyone was stunned. And then, Myoga came to explain the situation.
"Don't tell me you just resurrected Inu no Taisho, Myoga." Amar said.
"I didn't. When this young man your friend just called Alucard came, Inu no Taisho appeared too. It was quite sudden, but I'm glad my Master is alive."
Inu no Taisho then looked over to Amar Ma'aruf. From what the reincarnated youkai can see, the inu hanyou had the striking appearance of those of his son, Inuyasha. He then walked over to Amar to ask him a few questions.
"I see you and your friends had been traveling with Inuyasha a lot."
"Not really…" Amar said shyly as he pushed his fingers together. "I just started traveling with them for two months already. By the way, I'm Amar Ma'aruf, but you can call me Eriol Hiiragizawa if you want to."
"Eriol… from the looks of you, I think you are pretty experienced."
"…"
Inu no Taisho could sense three auras mixed together on Amar's body. Hanyou, magician and a little hint of a vampire aura is mixed.
By afternoon, Chris and Amar were up to their usual schedule, having a sparring match. Inu no Taisho looked very interested about the two of them.
"Grand Cross!"
"Boomerang Crush!"
Amar Ma'aruf was long out of the Item Crash range, but Chris was hit by the scattering boomerangs.
As Chris regained his composure, he lashed the Vampire Killer towards the hanyou.
"Coming inside!"
"Yikes!'
Chris dodged the three daggers a la Matrix style, before flipping back on his feet, firing his own daggers. Amar cleverly knocked it off with a Soul Shield attack.
"Hydrant Star!"
"Hydrant Star!"
Rain came and both of them took the damage. They contiued that way for at least 5 seconds. It seemed like a gun draw as both hunters stood in their position. Later the one who fell down first is Chris.
"Ha ha! I got you!"
"Ow... Laurel..."
As the inu hanyou was jumping around celebrating himself, Chris quickly took his usual aggressive stance.
"Get down!"
Without questions, Amar Ma'aruf dived away and Chris took this chance to use his Dagger Wave on the hidden hostile. It worked like charm, and after that barrage, Kagura came out.
"My, my. For someone so young, you're very flexible."
"Kagura!" Inuyasha yelled, taking out his Tetsusaiga.
"Relax, dog-boy. I can take care of her."
"WHAT?! Are you crazy?"
"If a Belmont can fight Dracula alone, than so am I." He said. "But first things first, I'll take the first step."
Kagura smiled fiendishly. "Dance of the Dead."
As soon as corpses appear out of nowhere, Chris had his Cross Boomerang ready. He crossed his arms, later jumping to the sky yelling…
"GRAND CROSS!"
A vertical beam of light appeared, engulfing Chris. The cruxifixes that appear then rotated around him before shooting out the bright light.
He dropped himself back to the ground, taking the step he usually do, striking the ancestral Vampire Killer whip aggressively, either while on the ground or on the air. He used all of his sub weapons, dagger, Sacred Vial, battle axe, Agunea, Bibuti, crystal, cross boomerang and not forgetting the stopwatch and the magical tome.
Unknown to him, Naraku was spying on the vampire hunter using Kanna.
"You're coming?"
"Who?"
"Both of you! Eriol! Alucard! Let's finish her off!"
"I thought you're not going to say that."
"Yeah, yeah. Dual Crush! Hydrant Star!"
"Dual Crush! Hydrant Star!"
Instead of a drizzle, heavy downpour rained on the animated zombies, giving no chance for them to reanimate and regenerate. Alucard was slashing the enemies with his heirloom sword, Amar with Masamune, and Chris Belmont with Vampire Killer.
Inuyasha and the others including Inu no Taisho was attacking Kagura.
This is not good! I should better be going!
For the final strike, both Alucard and Amar morphed into a bat and they used Wing Smash and Bat Rush against Kagura. However, they missed as the wind sorceress disappeared. Both then reverted back to normal after a distant rush.
"Did we won?"
"Sadly Belmont, no."
"How did I look?"
"Cool, as usual." Amar said to his pal while rolling his eyes away.
"Well, we have Naraku to defeat now."
"Hold it a second, Alucard. I thought you had gone to an eternal sleep… when did you wake up?"
"I actually didn't do so."
"?"
"That vampire hunter… Maria Renard as I recall… she stopped me."
"So what happened next?"
"That's secret. Anyways, I knew where you were going, Belmont."
At a distance, Inuyasha was listening to them.
"They sure know each other a lot."
"Of course they should. Alucard and the Belmont family had long been friends, you know. Since centuries ago."
"I'm surprised that he were able to live this long for a human." Inu no Taisho interrupted.
"Umm… correction; Alucard is a half breed just like Inuyasha does. He had a long story behind him, so many that it's hard to tell it one by one here, Inu no Taisho-sama."
"We have to see if he do tell his history."
