Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha, only my oc

"What?" screeched Orochi. "You're lying to me!"

"No my lord, I'm not," said a servant, "It would seem that Lord Goro has been slain."

Orochi stared wildly, "that can't be."

"Yes," said the servant. "It seems the woman known as Shiori is the one responsible for his death."

"You expect me to believe that woman killed my brother?"

Orochi was sitting down on the walkway outside his palace. He glanced down at the servant kneeling before him. Orochi was about to snap on the young shinigami servant of his.

"Don't you dare lie about something like this!" he hollered.

Hisoka soundly walked up behind him, "So then, Goro was killed by Shiori?"

The servant nodded his head, "Yes, my lord. This was found at the scene of the crime."

He handed the lord a lavender piece of fabric. It was Shiori's tennin haori—the one that was removed by Ryoko! Hisoka examined the haori and ripped it in half. He let the other half fall down to the floor.

"Perhaps we shouldn't have taken the girl so lightly," said Hisoka casually. "She's more of a threat than any of us imagined….then again, Goro was a weakling."

Orochi grit his teeth, "That foul little bitch! Where is she? I'll hunt her down and tear her to pieces!"

"Why hunt her down when she's right her?" asked Hisoka in a suspicious tone.

"What are you going on about now, Brother?" he asked.

"I thought something like this would happen. So, I had the liberty of having this created before hand," he turned away from his brother and over to the corridor doorway. "You may come now."

Out stepped a woman with wavy black hair swooped into a ponytail. A single strand of her hair balanced of off her shoulder. She was wearing an all black shinigami kimono. In her hands, was a coal black blade. She stared at them with murderous burgundy eyes.

"It's her," said Orochi, "The woman—Shiori!"

"Like it? It took me forever to make," said Hisoka, beaming. "Of course, I had some help from Isao, though he was unwilling."

"So then, she's just a demon puppet?"

Hisoka stared at the fake Shiori, "She's much more than just a puppet. She's practically a self-functioning being. When we sent Goro to the human realm, I had him snatch a strand of Shiori's hair. I don't even think she noticed. Then, of course, I stole some blood from Isao and drenched the strand in it."

"And it was that blood that gave it this Shinigami appearance? Amazing," marveled Orochi.

Shinigami Shiori glared at them both, "What do you require of me, my masters?"

"That thing can talk?" Orochi gapped.

Hisoka narrowed his eyes, "Well she wouldn't be much use to us if she couldn't. Don't you agree?"

"I wish to serve you, my masters," said the puppet. "What is your wish?"

"Nothing yet, Shiori," said Hisoka walking away. "Just stay put."

"Yes my lord," she said. "I humbly obey."

Orochi smirked, "Now why can't all women behave in such a manner."

"Have you forced the human girl into locating the shard yet?" asked Hisoka.

Orochi shook his head, "She refuses to obey me. No matter what I do. All she does is scream for someone named Inuyasha."

Hisoka closed his eyes, "Inuyasha you say? You mean the half demon and youngest son of the Dog General? How interesting."

"That's the one she means?" asked Orochi. "I had no idea she was referring to that one."

"Do you know of another Inuyasha?" Hisoka sourly asked.

"Yes, Inuyasha is a part of the other half of their group," the servant informed. "My scouts have managed to track him down. It seems he and Shiori are within the same vicinity and my even regroup with each other soon."

"Is that so?" said Hisoka unsheathing his sword.

"Yes my lord. Shall we stop them from regrouping?"

He took his blade and plunged it threw the young servant. Orochi flinched at the seemingly random attack. Hisoka slowly removed his sword from the young shinigami's body. He dropped to the floor in pain. Hisoka took the blood stained sword and wiped it all over Shiori's haori.

"There's no need for that," Hisoka said to the servant. "Let them regroup, in fact, call off your troops."

"Yes my lord," he clinched in pain before limping away.

"Brother," said Orochi, slightly confused. "What are you doing? Don't you want to keep watch over our enemies?"

"As I've said," answered Hisoka, "There's no need. I've just come up with an idea."

"An idea that will force the girl into telling us where to find the jewel fragment?"

Hisoka narrowed his eyes at his brother, "come now, don't be so dull. Of course it will, and hopefully it will solve all our other problems as also."

"So what of Shiori?" asked Orochi. "She's already killed Goro. It's only a matter of time before she gets here. What do you plan on doing with that piece of fabric? And are you going to use the puppet to extract our revenge?"

"Stop asking me annoying questions," answered Hisoka. "Or I'll have to kill you. Just let the plan come into action."

Orochi followed his brother down a long dark corridor and into a stony dungeon. It was there that they had Emi and Kagome locked up behind bars. Kagome angrily glared at them when they entered their cell.

"Let us out of here, you jerks!" she shouted. "Just wait until Inuyasha gets here! He'll kill you all!"

Orochi narrowed his eyes and turned to his brother, "Do you see what I mean?"

"Why are women so stubborn?" asked Hisoka staring at Kagome.

Emi was sitting down in the corner. She looked up when she heard all the loud commotion.

"Well now," Hisoka said, throwing his hands behind his back. "Are you ready to cooperate with us?"

"I already told you," Kagome snapped. "I'm not gonna help you! I don't care what you do!"

He smirked, "not even if we killed your beloved Inuyasha?"

Kagome's face dropped, "In-Inuyasha, no….you couldn't! You could never hurt him! He's too strong."

"Strong?" he scoffed. "So was she."

He tossed the bloody haori into the corner where Emi was sitting. Slowly, Emi reached out and picked up the fabric. Her eyes filled with tears once she realized what it was.

"Th-this is Shiori's," Emi stammered, while going into . "What have you done to her?"

"You were both present when I gave my brother orders to hunt her down and kill her," he said flatly. "And those orders were carried out. Her body was just delivered into the pits of hell."

Emi clinched the haori, "you're lying…you're lying!"

She attempted to shoot him with a triangular beam, but he dodged it. Orochi jumped in front of his brother and towards Emi. He clinched her wrist and shocked her with his dark demonic power. Emi tried to use curse deflect, but Hisoka over powered her.

"Stop it!" cried Kagome, pulling out an arrow.

She rushed to pick up her bow, but found that Hisoka was blocking her way. He folded his arms and coldly stared at the girl.

"My patience is wearing thin, girl," he said.

He grabbed her by the back of the head and forced her to turn back around. Emi was now lying on the floor in agony. She was crying uncontrollably over the loss of her sister. She didn't even seem to mind her own physical pain.

"Shiori!" she shrieked.

"Do you see the pain she's in?" he questioned. "Just look at her state."

Kagome tried hard to fight back her tears. The entire scene was just too much.

"Unless you want to join her in crying over a loved one, then I suggest you cooperate with me," he said darkly. "You've seen what I've done to Shiori. And I'll do the same thing to your precious Inuyasha….I'll kill them all."

He released her and she dropped to her knees in tears.

"Shiori….she can't really be dead. She just can't," thought Kagome as she looked at the bloody haori again, "And now….they're going to kill Inuyasha. I can't let that happen. I can't let any more people die."

"Well girl?" asked Hisoka. "Do you choose to help us? Or do you want to end up like that?"

Kagome looked at the grief stricken Emi. Tears rolled down Kagome's face and she dropped to the floor. Slowly, she turned to face Hisoka.

"I'll do whatever you want," she said sadly. "Just please….don't hurt anyone else."

Hisoka smirked, "Just what I wanted to hear. I will return shortly."

He turned to leave with Orochi. Kagome and Emi were left alone in the dungeon cell. They went back into the main room, where the puppet Shiori was waiting for them. She was in the exact same position as when they left.

"Woman," said Hisoka.

The puppet knelt before him, "yes, master?"

"I want you find the real Shiori and dispose of her," he ordered. "Do it by any means necessary."

"By any means necessary, my lord," said the puppet darkly. "I hear and obey."

Hisoka waited for Shiori to leave before turning to his brother.

"Go after her and observe what goes on," he ordered. "If you see that's she's failing, I want you to step in."

"Will do, Brother," Orochi answered. "We'll make sure that wench is dead for sure this time."

Orochi ran to catch up with the fake Shiori, but she already left the castle. He quietly flew after the girl.

"Just where is she going in such a hurry?" Orochi wondered. "I can feel Shiori's energy coming from the other way. What does she sense?"

The puppet flew over the shadowy lands until she found what she was looking for. It grinned evilly. Down below, were Sesshomaru and Jaken. They made it to the netherworld through an entrance Kagura told them about. This particular entrance was said to be impossible to get through because a person had to be dead first. But the guardians of the gate yielded for Sesshomaru once they witness the unworldly power of the tenseiga. They were now searching the lands for Naraku.

"It's extremely difficult to pick up any other scent besides death in this place," Sesshomaru thought wandering around. "Just where is that vermin Naraku hiding."

Though he wouldn't admit it to himself, he was also looking for Shiori. He had a huge bone to pick with her, but she was nowhere around. None of them were. Jaken clung to Sesshomaru's pelt in fear. He didn't want to let go even for the slightest second. He was absolutely petrified! Jaken became even more afraid when Sesshomaru suddenly stopped walking and stared up into the sky. Something was coming their way. Something incredibly evil.

The puppet Shiori landed down right in front of them. Jaken shrieked at her sudden arrival. Where on Earth did she come from? The puppet lured at Sesshomaru with her evil burgundy eyes.

"Hello, my lord," she said anomaly. "What brings you here?"

"And who might you be?" he asked coldly.

"What ever do you mean, my lord?" asked the puppet innocently. "You don't recognize your faithful ally?"

"Sh-Shiori? First you become a tennin, and now a full blooded shinigami? Jaken stammered. "But how? What's gotten into you?"

"Oh so many things," said the puppet suggestively. "If only you knew."

"Stop this madness!" Jaken ordered, "Enough."

"Did you come all the way down here just to save me?" she asked. "How very noble of you. I didn't realize I had my very own prince charming."

Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes.

"Or maybe I did," she slyly said.

Sesshomaru didn't say anything at all. He kept staring at the imposter. The puppet pretended to frown.

"Why won't you say anything to me?" it asked. "Are you still mad at me for leaving you? Are you angry that I left you for Naraku?"

Jaken gulped, "What is she doing? Does she want him to kill her?"

But Sesshomaru never made a move to strike her down. He didn't even step towards her. She took note of his completely calm demeanor.

"I always did prefer Inuyasha over you," she said. "At least he acts like he cares about his loved ones. That's why I always turn to him for help instead of you. He's my real ally."

Sesshomaru still refused to speak to her. The puppet was getting frustrated.

"Why hasn't he attacked me yet?" it wondered. "What's wrong with this guy?"

Finally, Sesshomaru took a step forward towards the fake Shiori.

"You're in my way," he said nonchalantly.

"What? That's all you've got to say to her?" Jaken complained "After everything she just said to you? My lord!"

"hmm, this one is a difficult nut to crack," thought the puppet.

She smirked as she hovered over him, "You're wasting your time here…..Sesshomaru. You'd be better off just leaving. I don't need you, and I never did."

With that she flew away from him. Sesshomaru and Jaken stared after the girl. Orochi, who was watching from a distance, also stared after her.

"It's that demon lord, Sesshomaru. I never expected him to be here as well," he thought. "But what was she doing? What would she have accomplished by taunting him like that?"

Orochi followed after the puppet.

"And then she has the nerve to address you without a proper title?" cried Jaken. "This is an outrage. Shiori's clearly been corrupted by the Netherworld air. She needs to be dealt with."

"Don't call that monstrosity by such a name," replied Sesshomaru casually. "That thing was not Shiori."

Sesshomaru continued his journey through the netherworld. Jaken quickly scampered after him.

"Then what was that thing?" he answered.

"Most likely the product of demon puppetry gone wrong," he answered. "It appears to have gained a conscious of its own."

"Eh….then why didn't you just destroy it? Why let it get away?" Jaken asked.

Sesshomaru ignored Jaken and kept walking.

"I wonder if Lord Sesshomaru couldn't kill the puppet because it looked just like Shiori," Jaken wondered. "It seemed like the thing was deliberately trying to provoke him into fighting, but the lord refused."

"I can smell it," thought Sesshomaru. "This is definitely Naraku's scent."

"Lord Sesshomaru?" asked Jaken. "If that was just a fake, then where do you suppose the real Shiori is?"

…

"How dare you mock my feelings…..for Lord Sesshomaru!"

Shiori ran through the shadowy forests of the netherworld. She had no idea which direction the lords' castle was. She wasn't even sure if she was going the right way. There were so many thoughts going through her mind.

"I can't believe I actually said that out loud," she thought. "What possessed me to do such a thing?"

She thought back over her encounter with Goro. She remembered how he attempted to force his disgusting body on her. It was then that she admitted to having feelings for Sesshomaru. She was thankful there was no one else around to hear her confession. Shiori tried to clear her thoughts, but her mind would always revert back.

"I swore I would never say that out loud," she assured herself. "The one thing I refused to ever admit to myself."

Sesshomaru told her that love made a person weak. Ever since then, she's tried to avoid even looking at him. It was just too painful for her. Truth be told, Shiori could feel herself falling for the young demon lord. And she tried to stop herself from falling any further.

"Why do these changes keep happening to me? I don't even know who I am anymore…."

She thought about Sesshomaru and wondered what he was doing now. She figured he was just patrolling the lands with Jaken and Rin. He wasn't coming to help her out this time…..but she wished he would. She wanted…..to see him.

Suddenly, Shiori felt a hand on her shoulder. She instantly threw her elbow back and jabbed her pursuer in the rib. The man moaned in pain as she spun around to kick him in his side. Just when she was about to draw her sword, Sango leapt in between them.

"Stop!" she frantically cried.

Shiori froze, "Demon slayer girl?"

She looked down and found that the man she attacked was Miroku. He was laying on the ground in a complete daze. Shippo and Kirara came running up to him.

"Are you okay Miroku?" asked Shippo with concern.

"Where did you people come from?" Shiori demanded.

"Jeez Shiori," Inuyasha jabbed. "What's wrong with you? We've been calling your name for like 5 minutes now. You didn't even hear us."

"You have?" she asked with shock. "Damn it, between being wrapped up in my own thoughts and my inability to sense anything…..I'm an open target!"

"I apologize for scaring you," said Miroku weakly.

"Wow," gapped Shippo. "I didn't even know Shiori could get scared."

Shiori resisted the urge to turn bright red. She was completely embarrassed that she let her guard down so low. The only presence she was able to feel was death.

"I wasn't scared," Shiori insisted, while crossing her arms and looking off to the side. "You merely surprised me. That's all."

"Where's Kagome?" asked Inuyasha.

"She was taken to the Dark Lord's castle," she responded. "Along with Emi."

"What?" Inuyasha choked. "They have Kagome? How did this happen?"

Shiori shrugged, "I don't know. I wasn't around when it happened. I've been trying to find my way there, but I can't seem to find their castle. I'm actually very surprised I ran into you. The netherworld is an extremely vast place, you see."

"I can imagine," said Miroku. "We've had to go through quite a bit just to get here. This place is terrible."

"Like hell we did!" added Inuyasha.

"Yeah, we kept getting attacked by monsters," Shippo cried.

"We were guided her by a blue ball of energy," said Sango. "It led us straight to you."

"A blue ball of energy?" Shiori wondered. "Could it have been Grandmother? Or….was it Father?"

"We gotta get moving if were gonna save Kagome and Emi," said Inuyasha. "Those bastards better not do anything stupid! I'll cut down all three of them to get to Kagome if I have to!"

"We're only down to just two lords," Shiori reported, "I killed the youngest one, Goro."

"Huh?" Inuyasha's face dropped. "But I wanted to get a crack at one!"

"There's still two left!" she said in disbelief. Was he really getting upset over something like that? "Besides, Naraku's still out there—somewhere. So, we still have three enemies to defeat."

Inuyasha's face hardened. He had forgotten about Naraku. He was somewhere lingering around the underworld, possibly even watching them at that moment. Occasionally, Shiori could sense a great evil, but not presently. Inuyasha wasn't able to smell anything but decay. Navigating the lands was going to be quite the chore.

"That jewel shard is out there somewhere as well," said Miroku. "I feel like we're in a huge race to find it."

"Ahhh!" screamed Shippo. "What's that?"

The group looked to the sky; there was a horde of demons gunning straight for them. They could see a humanoid figure flying amongst the demons. They quickly scattered right before the creatures struck the ground.

"Ugh," Inuyasha groaned. "More of these guys again?"

He took out his sword and started to attack. Shiori, Miroku, and Sango also joined in the fight while Shippo ran for cover. They hacked away at the monstrous demons, but their numbers only seemed to increase.

"I've had enough of this!" yelped Inuyasha, "Wind scar!"

He destroyed a hundred demons with just one stroke. Inuyasha killed a hundred more when he used another windscar attack. Shiori, Miroku, and Sango also killed their fair share.

"Well, you certainly are a strong bunch," said a voice from behind.

Shiori froze in her step. This voice was eerily familiar. She looked over and saw who it was. It was the Shiori puppet. Inuyasha and the crew also looked over. They stared at the puppet.

"Look it's….," Sango trailed off.

"Shiori," said Shippo, finishing Sango's thought. "Only….a scarier version!"

"Yeah, if it weren't for those eyes, I'd think she was the real thing," said Inuyasha. "I can't pick up any scents here, so I wouldn't be able to tell them apart."

"Yes," Miroku agreed. "It seems they've created a shinigami Shiori puppet."

"Shiori," the puppet said. "How nice it is to finally meet you."

"Is this someone's idea of a joke?" Shiori stared at the puppet in disgust, "Is this atrocity suppose to be me?"

"I was made in your likeliness," said the puppet. "But I have none of your weaknesses. I'm no half blood. I'm a full shinigami."

"No, you're a puppet," Shiori retorted. "You aren't even real! You only exist because you were manufactured for the sole purpose of killing me!"

The puppet smirked, "Weren't you also manufactured for the sole purpose of killing someone? What makes you any better than I?"

"I don't like this thing's attitude," said Shiori, narrowing her eyes. "It needs to be vanquished!"

"I don't know," said Inuyasha. "I kinda thought the personality was pretty dead on."

Shiori angrily glared at Inuyasha before going to attack the evil puppet.

"I take it back," said Shippo. "Real Shiori's definitely scarier than puppet Shiori."

Inuyasha, Miroku, and Sango nodded in compliance.

Shiori unsheathed her sword and swung it at her evil counterpart. But the puppet blocked her attack with her own sword. The silver and black blades clung to every.

"I wouldn't just stand around watching if I were you," called the puppet over its shoulder to Inuyasha and the gang. "You'd better defend yourselves."

More demons were steadily swarming after them. They were definitely going to have their hands full with this battle. Orochi stood watching the entire battle take place from a mountain top. He eagerly awaited to step in.

"This thing is up to something vile," he thought. "It's strange how life-like it is."

"They say a person is their own worst enemy," said the puppet in between swings. "What's your opinion on that?"

"You aren't me," she spat.

"No, you're right," it taunted. "I'm what you should've been. What you wish to be."

"Why are you still talking," said an infuriated Shiori. "Shut up and die!"

She transformed her spiritual power into Gin Tsugunai and swung it. The fake Shiori countered the pursuit.

"Devil's Demise!" it hollered.

"Eh?" screeched Shiori.

She held out her sword to shielded her as her attack came crashing back at her. She had no time to move. The great force pushed her back toward the side of a ledge. The puppet laughed at her opponent.

"Don't like it when your own attack is used against you, do you?" it teased. "Tell me Shiori, do you like the taste of bitter irony."

"Burn in hell," Shiori grunted, while picking herself up.

"Just like your father, right?"

Shiori glared at the puppet in anger.

"Did I cross the line with that one?" mocked the puppet. "Don't worry; you are to join him soon. Why, it'll be just like a little family reunion in hell. You, your father, and that floozy mother of yours."

"You…." Said Shiori with disdain. "Hell wrath!"

The puppet was prepared for Shiori's pursuit and dodged it. It smugged as it generated demonic beams straight for her. Shiori quickly ran to escape the shower of energy blasts. She was attacked from all angles.

"Are you upset over the comments I made about your parents?" asked the puppet in between blasts. "Don't be. It's not like they cared about you anyway. Your father had you commissioned just to carry out his dirty work."

"Shut-up!" screeched Shiori.

She fired a diamond beam at her opponent, but it missed her—barely. The puppet stared down at Shiori. She knew she was pushing her towards her breaking point. It wouldn't be long now.

"But don't worry, I know someone has to care about you," it continued to tease. "What about that demon lord you care so much about…what's his name again? Sesshomaru?"

Shiori's eyes widened.

"Oh, you don't want me to talk about him, do you?" it said with a smirk. "You don't want me to talk about the way you broke his promise to always be his ally?"

"I said shut-up!"

But it continued, "He hates you, you know? You were one of the only people he cared for, but you went and surrendered yourself to his most hated enemy. He fought for you, yet you handed yourself over without a fight. How could you do such a thing to your beloved?"

Shiori could feel her very essence dying away. Both her spirit and heart were breaking. She felt like she was fighting a losing battle. All Shiori could do was stare at the puppet with hopelessness. Was what she said true?

The puppet landed down a few yards away from the distressed girl. She could see that Shiori was filled with despair.

"What's the matter?" jabbed the puppet with a smug. "Cat got you're tongue?"

She quickly rushed up to the imposter and kneed her in the stomach. She then used curse deflect to send her flying backwards. The puppet slammed across the ground with a great force. Shiori hovered over it with her sword aimed at it's throat. Suddenly, the fake Shiori began laughing. Shiori eyed the monster with confusion.

"What's so funny?" she demanded.

"You are," it answered while still laughing.

"And why is that?"

The puppet looked up into Shiori's eyes, "because…..you hit like a girl."

Out of rage, Shiori attempted to stab through the puppets body. But the fake puppet grabbed the blade and transferred its demonic power into it. The power transferred up the sword until it made contact with Shiori's hand. She cringed with pain, but didn't let go. Instead, she used her purification to counter it.

"Must you be so stubborn?" asked the puppet. "Give up already."

"Give up?" Shiori marveled. "You're the one that's on the ground!"

They kept attacking each other to see who would give in first. The puppet used her other hand to shoot a deathly beam at Shiori in order to make her stop. Because it was such a close range attack, Shiori had no time to move out the way. Shiori cried out in pain as the beam shot straight through her chest. Her agonizing scream seemed to echo all throughout the land. From across the battlefield, Inuyasha, Miroku, and Sango turned to see what was happening. They stared in complete horror as they witness the beam piercing through Shiori's body. She sank to the ground.

"Shiori!" called Inuyasha

Miroku, Sango and Shippo rushed off to help Shiori. Inuyasha tried to help as well, but he was cut off by Orochi. The others stopped when they realized someone had jumped down in front of Inuyasha.

"Going somewhere?" he asked.

"Who the hell are you?" asked Inuyasha.

"I am Lord Orochi of the netherworld," Orochi answered. "Pleased to make your acquaintance."

"Get the hell outta my way bastard," Inuyasha barked. "I don't have time for you."

"Why do you want to save Shiori anyway?" Orochi questioned. "Wouldn't you rather save that futuristic priestess of yours?"

"K-Kagome?" Inuyasha stammered.

"Yes, she's the one who's important to you, right? I'll tell you where to find her," he said evilly. "But you must leave straight away—all of you."

"What?" Inuyasha choked.

"You must leave Shiori here to die," said Orochi darkly.

All of them stared at the dark lord.

"If not, then the priestess will die instead. And you don't want her to die in a place like this trust me."

Miroku looked over to Shiori, "What happens when you die here?"

"Death in this place is a much easier transition," he explained. "Since we're already in the netherworld, it saves the soul pallbearers and shinigami the time of claiming your soul. Instead, your soul is sent straight into either hell or the purgatory pit for an eternity. You aren't permitted into heaven, nirvana, or the reincarnation pool."

The entire group gasped.

"So dying here leads to an eternal damnation?" asked Sango.

"That's right," laughed Orochi. "Of course, there are the few rouge souls that don't go to either of the places. Instead, they just wandered the terrapin—aimlessly. Maybe Shiori or Kagome will be lucky and become a wandering soul."

"That's horrible," Shippo shivered.

Orochi sneered. "Shiori isn't even yours to save. She belongs to your older brother. Don't you hate him?"

Inuyasha was confused on the inside. He didn't know what he should do. Saving Kagome was always his number one priority. But he didn't want to abandon Shiori on the battlefield. Unlike his brother, Shiori had been a good companion to him. It was Shiori that saved Kagome, Miroku, and Sango from dying of poison. Leaving her to die would bring him eternal guilt.

"Let her die, Inuyasha," Orochi continued. "Sesshomaru will never know and you'll get to save your precious priestess. She could be dying this very instance. And after learning everything you now know, would really allow her to die in a place like this?"

"To save Kagome, Shiori must die," thought Miroku. "And by saving Shiori, we might miss the chance of rescuing Kagome. What a completely sadistic choice."

"So who will you save? The girl you love?" Orochi taunted. "Or the girl your brother loves?"
