Enter Sesshoumaru!

---

Kagome walked down the familiar street until she spotted three familiar school outfits. Running up to them, she greeted and asked what they were doing here.

Getting a reply on picking up Misaki, Kagome followed along, until she reached an unfamiliar house.

---

Hearing the familiar ring through out the house, Misaki went to answer it. When she opened the door, a blushing and stuttereing Kotaro stood there.

"Oh-ohaiyo gosaimasu! Boku-wa Suzuhara Misakichi… Er, I mean, I am her classmate, Kobayashi Kotarou." Kotarou said.

Not noticing that Kagome and Hatokou giggled to themselves.

"I apologize for troubling you so early in the morning!" He bowed.

"Nah?" Misaki said in surprise.

Just then, Hatoko and Kagome popped out at Kotarus sides with a "Ohayou." Startling Misaki.

Patting her chest to calm her heartbeat, she replied with a "Ohayou."

"It's Misakichi." Tamayo said, with Hotaru stil bowing.

"Eh?" Hotaro voiced. He straightened up and stuttered.

"I-It's because this is my first time meeting your family. I was nervous. Oh?" The four of them to looked at a young woman walked towards them, with her brown hair up in a bun wearing a red long sleeve and blue jeans, while Misaki just turned.

"This is my relative. Shouko-san…" Misaki pointed out.

"Eh? It's Asami Shouko-san!" Kotarou exclaimed in surprise.

"I always watch you on TV!" Tamayo told her excited.

"You are Tamayo-chan, right? Which means you are Kotarou-kun, how was your date with Misaki?" Shouko pointed out embarrassing both Misaki and Hatokou.

They both blushed.

"It was okay!" Tamayo told her. "Misaki's first is going to be me!"

"Ah! I'm aiming for that too!" Shouko replied.

"Misakichi got her cute looks from her aunt, huh?"

"Ano ne… If I'm not referred to as Shouko-san, I can be mean." She told them with a stren eye.

Spotting Kagome next to Kotarou, she waved at her.

"Let me know when your brother wants to have an interview." She told her jokingly.

"You know how he is, Shouko-san. Onii-sama doesn't want anymore rabid fan girls after him." Kagome told her with the same amount of amusement in her voice. They both laughed at the previous interview where the next day, the whole house was ringing of telephones and gatebells in the newspaper and magazine, leaving the rest clueless.

"Suzuhara… Good luck." Kotarou said.

Misaki blushed and nodded excitedly.

"Kotarou-chan, you're fast! I look away for one second, and you jump in!" Tamayou said, while dragging Kotarou away.

"Well, I'll see you later, Misaki, Kagome-chan." Shouko told them. Bidding the others goodbye.

The five of them walked down the road to their school, when Tamayo noticed that Misaki was excited about something, and voiced her question.

"What's up Misakichi? You're all smiley. Did something good happen?" She asked.

"Na!" Misaki exclaimed in surprise, she soon looked up into the sky. "It's a secret."

The four of them came to a stop.

"Eh? You're hiding something aren't you, Kotarou-chan?!" Tamayou said, while slinging her arm around his shoulder. Bringing up her other hand to squeeze his neck. "Spit it out! Come on! Say it!"

His face turning red from lack of oxygen, he spurtted out that he didn't know.

---

"Hai." A young female with brown wavy hair in a mustard yellow jacket and a white dress, she continued her conversation into the cell phone. "I'm heading to the stadium. I have to do a little demonstration."

"Uh.. That's fine, but…" Shouko said while putting on her purple jacket on one of her arms. "Ne, nee-san, You understand that if Misaki-chan continues to win, you'll meet her at the Zenkoku tournament, right?"

Clutching her hand to the phone unconciously, she replied. "Of course…"

"Are you find with meeting her like that?" Shouko asked.

"Shouko-chan, what are you thinking?" Her older sister asked.

"Na-nademonai. Well, see you over there." Shouko told her and hung up her phone. "Mou… As usual, she cant make up her mind."

---

A roaring of crowds could be heard, as Misaki stood at the Deus entrance.

"Nah…" She sighed. A worried look appeared on her face. "For some reason, I feel all nervous again."

Suddenly a blond haired doll, dressed in all white like a nurses outfit, suddenly spoke to her in a high pitched voice.

"You're pretty nervous, aren't you?"

"Na…?" Turning to her left, she spotted a brown haired girl in braids with glasses wearing a red dress. "Anata-wa…" She exclaimed in surprise.

The girl tilted her head and giggled lightly and walked away.

Misaki turned back to her angel with a smile on her face.

"Hikaru, If we win, we'll be able to meet okaa-san.

---

The lights were flashing and the crowd roared with excitement.

"Well then, the match will begin. The Kantou Angelic Layer Final Tournament. Today, we'll find out who's going to the Zenkoku Tournament!" An anouncer voice ranged out.

"Woah… Sugoi! This is cool!!!" Tamayo exclaimed in excitement.

"Hey... Do you know where Kagome-chan is at?" She questioned to the male besides her.

"She said something about find a restroom and then calling her brother. She shouldn't be long." Kotaro informed her.

"Ah. Okay. We'll just save her a seat... If she can find us. But no worries, I gave her my number just in case we can't find each other." Tamayo said.

"Well the, let's introduce the finalists for the Kantou Tournament." The anouncer in purple suit with a red bow, yellow hair, and sunglasses on sitting in a moveable chair. "First, the one who went to the Zenkoku Tournament last year, representing Tokyo, the rising goddess, Kobayashi Hatoko!"

With that said, Hatoko's seat slowly glided down with the lights on her. Her angel was sitting on top of the seat, infront of her.

"The one who made it to the finals for two years in a row, representing Kanagawa, the 'Ice Machine', Jounouchi Sai!" All of the suddent, the crowd went wild with fan girls and fan boys shouting out her name.

"Again representing Kanagwa, the white angel herself, Saitou Kaede!" The crowd also went wild for her, but a bit lower than Sai's fan girls and fan boys.

Leaning forward with haughtiness, Tamayo couldn't hold her excitement. "The best has yet to come!"

"And then, the one who survived to be one of the final four, representing Tokyo, the miracle rookie, Suzuhara Misaki!" The anouncer exclaimed.

"Here we go!" Tamayo shouted with her hands cupped around her mouth, getting ready to shout. She inhaled and once she let it out, she soon fell over as a crowd of kindergardeners soon over raid her in shouting.

"Look. Everyone is…" Tamayo started…

"cheering Misakichi on…" Kotaro finished.

Misaki smiled brightfully as she heard the crowd go wild for her.

---

A blue suv was seen headed towards the angelic tournament, with Shuko in it.

A worker spotted them, and waved to get the drivers attention.

"Go back!" She said.

"What's wrong?" Her friend who was driving said.

"Please… Return me to the hospital…" Shuko pleaded.

Her friend sighed and made a sever u-turn, narrowly missing the worker getting an "Oi!" response.

The worker quickly got out his walkie talkie and reported what he just witnessed.

---

A fog covered the areana where the Angels would be fighting, and it soon overlapped the safe barrier.

"For you ultimate-class Angels, the creator of Angelic Layer introduces a brand new fighting system to you!"

All eyes were on the virtual fighting ground, as it shifted from a city with lots of building to an hill covered in snow while snowing, a beach with the ocean rushing against the grass cliff.

The contestants gasps at the outstanding virtual ground.

"It looks like a georama!" Tamayo exclaimed leaning forward on her seat.

"I thought Layers were supposed to be flat!" Kotaru voiced.

The Layer shifted to what seems like a lot of tall pillars with different ground layers, when the announcer continued.

"This new virtual environment system allows us to create any kind of battle ground on this ten meter wide Layer."

--

Somewhere, in a office where they monitor the fights, a voice ranged out in astonishment.

"Sugoi!" A young male shouted, Ogata, throwing up his hands and slaming his hands down on the table. "Cheif Icchan really is amazing!"

"There are probably some amazing technologies and ideas behind that. Is that what you and Sesshou-onii-sama developed?" Kagome asked, with Shouko nodding.

"Hai. It's just a toy. I want them to play with it. That is a promise I made with Shuko." Icchan said.

The automatic door slid open, and in walked the worker that spotted the car that Shuko was in, his face in a panic.

"I'm sorry, but the Champion wasn't feeling well, and returned to the hospital." He told the people inside.

They all turned, and stared at him.

"What did she do??" Icchan questioned.

"Ehh!? But she was supposed to do the demonstration for the new Layer!" Ogata whined.

"I will do it." Ohjiro said but was soon stopped, when a moon-kissed hand patted his chest.

"No, I will do it. Think of it as a message that The Ice Princess of the Layer is back." Kagome said, and winked at the employees.

Nodding, they agreed. It was time for the Princess to be back after all. Icchan turned to Ogata and ordered him to prepare the targets for Sesshoumaru.

"Okay, but I'm not sure I'll make it in time..." Ogata told Icchan.

"Make it in time? If not, as punishment, I'll make you fight Sesshoumaru with your Ogata-chi!" Icchan infomred him with the threat hanging.

Pouting, Ogata walked off, preparing the stages for Sesshoumaru.

--

The crowd cheered on, while the announcer held his hand to his ear, while listening. He sighed and gave he news.

"S-sorry to keep you waiting... But beyond that, we'll now have a demonstration of the new Layer!" He told the screaming crowd.

Sesshoumaru's profile was up on the screen hanging over the virtual fighting ground, while it shifted and changed into a clearing of canyons and dusts rising everywhere. Sesshoumaru stood there, while the breeze rippled his hair into playing with it, and his clothing rippling with the sensation. Standing lax, he awaited his Deus commands.

"Sesshoumaru?" The girl with short brown hair, Sai, and dressed like an army outfit, questined. She soon winced as all the girls screamed at the Tashio elder look alike.

Last time anyone saw Sesshoumaru was 5 years ago, when the Champion Deus suddenly 'lost', when they all know that she simply stopped tyring.

Misaki looked down at Sesshoumaru. He looks familiar... Have I met his Deus before? She wondered.

Back on the virtual ground, Sesshoumaru was surrounded by five opponents, dressed in black with black scarfs flying with the wind. Suddenly the wind stopped.

The first opponents that rushed towards him, had long hair which was tied in the end, drawing his fist back, and aimed a punch at him. Sesshoumaru dodged and turned around casually, like it was an everyday thing for him. He dodged to the left then the right as the fists continued trying to hit him. His long white hair flowed between them.

Seeing that the first opponent couldn't stop his movement, and skidded off to the side, he soon ducked his head, as his second opponent aimed a kick to his head. He ducked down, and one the opponent had his balanced, Sesshoumaru quickly jumped away.

Blurring to the third opponent, he punched him, and moved on to the fourth, doing the same thing but hitting him twice. Seeing his first two opponents, he appeared before them. His hair falling down to his clothing without a sound and watched them both. Suddenly, he appeared behind the two, and they both fell from hits that were too fast for anyone to see.

Misaki watched in awe. This Sesshoumaru was amazing. "Su-sugoi..."

--

Back in the computer room, a big screen up was and everyone watched.

Shoko and Icchan were in the front, monitoring and watching the Ice Princess.

"Will the Champion be alright?" Shoko asked, worriedly.

"I'm sorry. For the sake of meeting her today, she may have pushed herself a bit too far..." Icchan told her.

Shaking her head, Shoko disagreed. "It seems she ran away again." She said, closing her eyes, turing to Icchan.

"Ran away?" Icchan questioned.

Walking past Iccha, Shoko exited the room.

--

Sesshoumaru stood in the clearing with is five opponents obviously out for the count.

"Well then, we'll announce the match-ups! The first match will be Hikaru versus Buranshe!" He told the crowd.

Misaki turn to the announcer with a gasps. Sometime when Misaki wasn't looking, Kagome got off the seat, taking off the visor and took Sesshoumaru into her possession. Looking up at Misaki, she smiled and whispered "Good luck."

"The second match will be Suzuka versus Shirahime!" He continued.

--

-Kagome returned to stadium, and found that Tamayo saved her a seat. Sitting next to them, he looked over to see that Kotaro was looking at her. Giving him a wink, she smirked and brought out a pink very thin book, on the angels and the Deus.

"So this angel, Buranshe, and Hikaru are the same type of Angel?" Tamayo questioned.

"As far as size is concerned, I supposed. Anyway, it seems that it's too hard to hit her." Kagome infomred her.

"Speed wise, Hikaru is better! Plus Misakichi also learned some new special techniques." Tamayo complained. She soon had Kotaro in an headlock.

"Why are you hurting me! Kagome-chan was the one who said it!" But Tamayo ignored his whining and she soon let go, once he announced that the fight was starting once he heard the familiar music in the speakers. And she soon let go, letting him fall to the ground, with Kagome laughing behind her hand.
