Kagome struggled to climb out of the well. Upon remembering that she had left her friends waiting on the other side, she had told Inuyasha, who had personally taken her to the well. Luna had also tagged along, simply because she had an idea that she wanted to test.

"Humans... They're really slow, aren't they?"

Inuyasha nodded as he grabbed Kagome's arm and lifted her up.

"Hey!"

"Well, it's true!" Luna stood still, calmly looking at her nails as if she had spoken an obvious truth.

"Hey, there they are!" A short fox demon scurried over to Kagome, hugging her as if he hadn't seen her in a year.

"Hi, Shippo." Kagome smiled as she petted the tiny fox demon. "Where's Miroku and Sango?"

"At the village." A slap could be heard from the direction of the small village.

"Typical..." Kagome muttered under her breath as she heard the sound.

"How is he not dead yet? From what I've seen, humans can't take too much head trauma..."

"Because he's got a thick skull." Shippo glanced at the half-demon girl. "Hey, where's Sesshomaru? And Rin?"

"Back at my apartment. I left them there because a large group of people running through town would be a lot more noticeable than just two... with one person on one of the runner's back..."

"Is that really uncommon?"

"I'm afraid so..." Luna appeared quite depressed as she spoke. "There aren't many demons in the future... There's so few that most of them don't even know we exist, and those that do try to kill us..."

Shippo blinked in surprise. It was obvious that he had thought Kagome's time was safe, but this contradicted his beliefs. "Do they kill humans too?"

"Sometimes. If they get in the way, but don't worry. My group has got everything under control." Luna smiled. "Believe it or not, it's still safer than being here." Luna gasped as she felt an odd aura in in the air.

"Is something wrong?"

"Can you guys not feel that? It feels like-" Luna was cut off as the ground began to shake. Screaming villagers ran in all directions. Kagome was knocked off of the side of the well. Inuyasha had face-planted in the dirt. Luna was wobbling, barely balanced on one foot.

After several minutes, the ground had stopped shaking. Luna, who had held her balance despite the earthquake, fell from her awkward balancing position. "What the hell was that?"

"That's what we were about to ask..." A young monk, stepped out from behind one of the trees. A female demon slayer followed him, appearing ready to attack anything that threatened.

"Well... there was an earthquake. That's all we know, Miroku."

"I feel like something's calling me..." Luna stared off into the distance for a moment before jumping up and dashing towards something that no one else could see.

"Luna!" The group raced after her, slowing down as they saw where she had stopped. There was a cave with ancient writing on it, and Luna had fallen to her knees in front of it, hands on her knees, staring blankly into the darkness.

"L-Luna? Are you alright?" Kagome knelt beside the half-demon girl, trying to hide the fact that she was creeped out by Luna's blank stare.

"I-I hear them... calling... big brother... I hear you!" Luna bolted into the cave, tears pouring down her cheeks.

The group, sensing danger, followed her quickly into the cavern. Down they went, deeper and deeper into the depths, the air growing colder and colder still, until they were convinced that they were going to freeze down there. Then, there was light. Dim at first, but warming the cave as if someone had brought a torch with them. The light grew brighter and brighter, until they came out into a large chamber with the walls covered in ancient writing. There, in the center, was Luna, collapsed on the floor and crying as if she had lost everything. Almost unnoticeable, yet quite obvious, was a demon with hair that appeared to desperately need shampoo. In his hands were two stones, one red as fire, the other as white as fresh snow. "I see your friends have come to join you... Too bad that you won't get to see the rise of a new empire... One risen from the dust you were born upon, Lunari Rosaria Feld. The same empire that your parents gave their lives to destroy... With these two dragoon spirits, I can bring back the old ways."

"Naraku!" Inuyasha yelled, "What are you muttering about?"

"Why, Inuyasha, I thought you'd never ask..." The demon grinned wickedly. "You see, there was once a vast empire, ruled by an honorable man named Melbu Frahma-"

"He was not honorable! He even killed his own people just to watch something die!"

"Shut up! Anyway, his empire was brought down by the seven dragoons of legend. Five died during the battle. One became the 'Black Monster' and began destroying entire villages when the moon turned red. The final one became possessed by Melbu. Melbu tried to bring peace to the world by unleashing the world's strongest monster and making it do his bidding, but the two living dragoons, along with five replacements, killed the beast and ripped its soul in half, which killed the two original dragoons. I seek to bring this peace-maker back."

"Peace-maker? He sought to destroy the world! He couldn't control the other creatures, so he wanted to destroy everything! You make it sound as if he's a saint!"

"Through blood comes change, Lunari.

"Stop calling me that!" Luna growled viciously. "That's my Serdian name, and I'll not have it defiled by people such as you!"

Naraku only tilted his head and chuckled at the girl. The stones started to glow brightly. On the floor, red and white lights spread out, tracing the ancient lines. The lines looped and swirled, sometimes meeting at intersections, other times jumping to other areas not yet touched by light.

Luna could only stagger backwards, attempting to get out of the circle where the lights were. As she made it out, the border of the circle lit up brightly, nearly blinding the group. A roar could be heard, and two large dragon heads emerged from the lit up pattern on the ground.

Evil laughter could be heard above the roars. "Like my new pets?"

'Save us...' The words that no one else but Luna could hear echoed in her mind. 'Save us, Luna...' The voice was that of her half-brother. She knew what this chamber was... his burial tomb. She had made this for him long ago. She had even dug up his wife's grave so that she could place the wife's bones with his. That was the reason for the stones being here. Because she put them here. That was why Naraku had defiled their graves. To get the dragoon spirits from them. This was why Luna had to do something. And she did.

Shadows covered Luna's body and face, enveloping her in a solid ball of darkness with bits of green, blue, and violet glowing on the outside. The ball shrank before exploding, damaging nothing as Luna appeared again, in dark violet armor with large dragon wings spread wide. The dragons roared as they saw her, but Luna did not flinch. She could not, or else they would kill everyone in the tomb. 'I have to destroy the dragons... but how? If I take down the red, then the white will get me, but if I get the white, the red will kill me...'

'Look for the weak points...' A female voice echoed. Her half-brother's wife. 'I know you can find them...'

'Weak points? Lovely...'

Inuyasha charged forward, intent on killing the white one first.

"Inuyasha, you idiot!" Luna flapped her wings and charged at the red one, her speed outpacing Inuyasha's. Steel met scales as the dragon turned to face its attacker. She could feel the white dragon charging its light beam and knew there were only seconds left...

Blood splattered as a golden light sliced the head off of the white dragon. As Luna stared in disbelief, the red dragon caught her arm and shook her as a dog would shake a toy. Expletives flew from Luna as she was turned into a living ragdoll. Still attacking, Luna slashed her blade. Miss. A sharp crack as Luna split a few of the scales. Miss again. Yet another miss. The sound of bricks crumbling as Luna kicked at the split scales, knocking them off. A spraying sound as her blade went into the weakened spot in the dragon's scales. The dragon tossed her as it let out a dying roar, a mix between the roar of a lion and a screech of a dying demon. The sound hurt Luna's ears as she tumbled downward.

Brightly glowing arrows hit Naraku in the arm as a large boomerang tore it off, causing the two stones in his hand to fall to the ground, where Miroku swiftly scooped them up.

"Damn... This isn't the end of this, you pests!" Naraku fled, teleporting himself to avoid more attacks.

As Miroku returned the dragoon spirits to Luna, he noticed something different in the air, and it wasn't just the 'dead dragon' smell. "Luna... are the spirits at peace now? It seems calmer in here..."

"Almost. They have one last task for me, however." Luna turned to Inuyasha and Kagome. "Both of you, hold out your hands."

As they obeyed, Luna placed one stone in each hand and watched carefully. Nothing happened. "Odd... Unless..." She took the stones from them and switched them out, giving Inuyasha the red stone and Kagome recieving the white. A red and white glow lit up the room, each color coming from the matching stone. "They knew it all along... It seems that this was destined to happen..." Luna giggled a bit. "Still can't believe that you two are the new dragoons..."

"Is that what you are?"

"Yes. By the way..." Luna paused to get everyone's attention. "No one tell Sesshomaru what happened... I don't want him to know how old I am, and this is a clear indicator..."
