SailorStar9: This is Chapter 6 of this fic. (Sighs) Come on people, you guys were the ones who wanted me to update this, so have a heart and review. Remember, boys and girls, reviews are an author's subsistence.

Disclaimers: I own nothing, except for the plot bunny. Heck I don't even know if my pairing is original.

Chapter 6: The Final Mumyou Jinpuryu


"With the last of my life energy in this flame, I am going to teach you the real Mumyou Jinpuryu technique." Muramusa declared. "The fate of the country will be returned to the people. If the fate of the country is not returned, that will not be good."

"All of this is the decision of those Mibu clan elders." Shinbe reminded. "But there is no way I can follow this same path."

"Old man, move." Kyo growled.

"I guess you children are just unchangeable." Muramusa sighed. "This power of ten thousand voices, receive it well. The true Mumyou Jinpuryu technique."

"Suiha Chihoryu!" Shinbe countered.

"Mumyou Jinpuryu, Mizuchi." Muramusa struck. "Shinbe, the Mibu clan will not survive. If a person is controlled by another person, they cannot survive."

"The Chihoryu is breaking up." Yukimura was shocked as the water dragons broke apart. "This is the true Mizuchi."

"Shinbe, you heard it too?" Muramusa inquired. "The sound of the wind. Kyo," he stated, Shinbe collapsing to the ground. "This Mumyou Jinpuryu Mizuchi is the basic, unchanged technique. The body becomes like as shadow as you are one with nature. It will make the receiver hear illusive sounds. That is the Mumyou..."

"Old man!" Kyo exclaimed when Muramusa fell over.

"Taku." Elenaithil muttered, running a diagnostic scan over her old friend. "I told him time and again not to stain himself, but no, he just had to be a stubborn mule about this."

"The secret of the Mibu clan is for eternal youth and immortality." Shinbe added. "But Muramusa-sama has rebelled and threw away that secret."

"People wanted to live like that." Muramusa voiced, stirring.

"With that body, do you think using Mizuchi will do?" Shinbe taunted. "You knew it. I haven't even used my full power. Got it?"

"Old man, release me from this hold." Kyo demanded.

"Stop!" Benitora barked, the rest of the group arriving.

"Brother." Mahiro looked at her brother-in-law.

"Oh Mahiro." Muramusa greeted. "Oh, child." he turned to Sasuke. "You have found a great sword."

"This guy has shown me his cutting power." Sasuke declared.

"Mibu clan." Shinbe hissed.

"You cannot hold that power." Benitora added. "The fact that you attacked Mahiro's brother."

"I will make you disappear in one shot." Sasuke roared.

"Play with me then." Shinbe smirked, the two males attacking on both sides and sent two water dragons towards his assailants. "Now I won't tolerate this disruption. Why don't you protect yourself?" he questioned, Yuya training her gun at him. "Finally, you can encounter my power. Is there a relationship between you and that man..."

"I want to defend Kyo." Yuya declared. "I..." she breathed and fired her shot.

"Kyo..." Shinbe glared, the samurai having blocked off his attack before it struck Yuya.

"He broke out of my Nin." even Muramusa was stunned.

"This guy, that guy, they all fell so weakly." Kyo spat. "Quit joking. You are in my way." and took out Shinbe in one shot.

"Water?" Elenaithil blinked when Shinbe dissolved into water drops.

"Kyo, we will meet again." Shinbe promised. "With motherly love, Muramusa-sama. With that body, Mumyou Jinpuryu cannot win. If the demon holds it, there might be a possibility. Think about it." with that, he vanished.


The next day...

"Mayuri escaped from Mibu and didn't tell me anything about the people there." Muramusa related to Kyo. "I thought that those people were dead. That is why, I threw away the dream of eternal youth. Kyo, right now, there is only one person who can do the true Mumyou Jinpuryu technique. I don't have much time, even with Elenaithil's crystal shard keeping the 'Death Disease' at bay. You will have to learn it. In this, if there is a failure, you will not be able to find your body. You will die here. But even so.."

"You must decide." Kyo finished.

"The Mumyou Jinpuryu," Muramusa started, both men entering the forest. "Genbu, Suzaku, Byakko, you must accomplish them all. The Mizuchi technique will surpass over the Seiryuu. There are four basic principles that you must understand or else we cannot continue with the Mumyou Jinpuryu technique."

"That guy knows four succession techniques?" Kyo realized what Muramusa was implying.

"Yes, this is the perfect thing I have found." Muramusa confirmed. "Kyoshiro will learn the techniques as well." he assured Yuya who had followed them to the training cave. "If they don't fight, it won't be good. That is a sad fate, but it is an unchangeable fate. It is tantalizing to defend from this. Let's start." he told his student.
