Henry helped Suzie up. He still couldn't get used to the fact that she was eleven or only half human. His sister perked up, fox ears twitching at some unheard noise. "Henry, someone's fighting over there." She warned him. With that, Suzie ran off, followed by Henry and then the rest of the group. Though she was much faster than the rest of them, Suzie made sure to stay in sight. At last she stopped, looking down upon a large crater with a white tiger fighting some invisible chains.

"What is it Suzie?"

"He's trapped. Those bars keep him trapped but he knows there is a weak one so he attacks that one, wanting it to buckle. If he can break that one, he can help his territory but even loose it is too much trouble."

Henry stared, still not seeing anything. Then, he figured he would use some breathing exercises that his Sensei taught him. (A.N. For those who do not know Japanese, Sensei means teacher. The term, as well as Senpai is used as an honorific for a teacher. Even if the teacher is a substitute, s/he will be addressed as _-Sensei.) Henry closed his eyes and took a deep breath in, feeling the center of his body push the rest up (This spot is a few inches from the belly button. It is where martial artists gain their power.) Then, he let it out, slowly feeling his center drop. After a minute or two, he opened his eyes to see the tiger was surrounded by a glowing yellow barrier, unable to escape. Henry quickly leapt into action, drawing a quick breath and hitting a bar with an open hand. As he did so, he let out a quick and loud, "Kee-yah!" The force of his blow shattered the bar, allowing the beast to go free. (If my memory serves, this yell is not some cute expression but a way to gather power. The yell helps bring more power to the body. I cannot remember what the term is called though. I can attest to this power as my instructor, Reggie-Sensei broke my blade with the force of his shout. I believe it is called Kiyai.)

"Thank you young warrior." The Tiger said, now free.

"His name is Baihumon." Ryo said, looking at the tiger.

"And your name is Ryo Akiyama, correct?"

"Yes lord."

"Lord? Hah, I am no lord. I was saved by a human and yet I have only thanked the boy. As such, I have nothing to give you or yours. Nothing except…" With that, Biahumon thought for a moment. Seeming to come to a decision, Biahumon roared, his voice ripping a hole through the sky. "That shall take you home. I know you wish to learn about the shadow of earth, but the answers are not here."

Without looking at one another, Ryo, Rika, Takuya, Henry, Suzie, Kazu, Kenta, Ai, Mako, and Jeri walked through the hole.

"Of course," Baihumon said as soon as they had left, "Home is not the same to everyone."

Ai and Mako fell onto two familiar beds. The boy and girl ran outside and noticed they were really in their home in London. The eight and nine year olds quickly tracked down the family owl, Hortense and sent a message to the school. (A.N. The name Hortense was taken from a beloved book series of mine. This belonged to a noble owl that saved the heros in the first book. More on that in my big note at the end though!)

Kazu landed on his familiar four poster bed. The boy noticed the green curtains and went downstairs. He then asked the third year boys Vincent and Gregory if they had seen Draco but unfortunately, neither boy had.

Suzie bounced on her yellow curtained bed then, realizing where she was, ran downstairs. She saw Jeri and Kenta but none of the others knew where their friends were.

Takato sat in the Gryffindor common room, looking at Rika and Ryo. Though all three had made it back, Henry and the other teams had not. After meeting with the others, they had learned Henry was the only one of the team that had not made it back

Henry felt the wind whistling around him, his clothes being no protection from the chill. When he and Suzie had jumped through, he had felt Suzie's hand clench his, yet when he appeared here, it just wasn't there. He looked around and thought he saw something so he walked, wondering what it was.

A.N. Short chapter 'eh? Well now two people are missing. Now on to Hortense. The series is called the Guardians of Gahoole and is around sixteen books long. You should give it a read as the movie does not give it justice, cramming six books into one movie.
