I'm back with the long overdue chapter of Midoriichi NG. Once again I would like to apologize for being gone so long as I was kidnapped by friends and family lol. But now that I'm back how about we get started and immerse ourselves into the wonderful world of Midoriichi?

Ch.6 Temptation
Midoriichi and Kimiko sat on the cliff edge of their mountain home as they looked over the landscape together. They held each other's as a cool breeze blew by swirling through their hair. Kimiko looked over to Midoriichi as she studied her features, the demon she fell in love with was well over three hundred years old, but she didn't look a day over twenty-five. In some aspects it was that reason in which made Kimiko feel old. Though she had just entered her forties she looked ten years younger than anyone would have cared to guess.
"You know I love these moments, where we can sit and enjoy each other's company. Without a care in the world." Kimiko said.
"You read my mind Kim, then again any day I get to spend with you is a good day." Midoriichi smiled.
"Then tell me Midoriichi, can you tell what I'm thinking?" The priestess asked.
"I think I can take a very good guess." Midoriichi said as she leaned in to kiss her lover.
Their lips were mere inches away when a Tori soldier popped up out of the blue. "Midoriichi!" He called out.
Midoriichi let out a frustrated groan. "This had better be good soldier. Now tell me what's got your feathers in a bunch?" She asked.
"It's the princesses! They're in grave danger!"
"Danger? Where are they?" Kimiko asked as she and Midoriichi quickly rose to their feet.
"They're at the Inu Clan ruins." The soldier said.
'Midoriko.' Midoriichi said in her thoughts. She was quickly taken from her thoughts as they felt a shockwave blow past them. 'Damnit, they must've released it.' Midoriichi said keeping the thought to herself.
"Come on, we musn't waste any more time. If that's what I think that was, then we're going to need help. Notify Josei and tell her to meet at the ruins at once." Midoriichi ordered her soldier.
He saluted her before taking off to notify Josei of the situation. Midoriichi turned to see Kimiko give her a worried expression, her expression reflected how she was feeling on the inside.
"Midoriichi what's happening? Why do we need Josei?" She asked.
"I'll fill you in on the way, now hope on we have to go." Midoriichi said as she kneeled down so Kimiko could climb on her back.
Kimiko wasted no time in doing so and Midoriichi leapt off into the jungle, she just hoped they weren't too late.
Ten minutes earlier
Midoriko and Reo were deep inside the temple of the Inu Clan ruins and they had stumbled upon some rather large chains. They knew something was on the other side because the chains rattled, but it was too dark to see what the chains were holding.
Midoriko walked up closer, her desire to discover what was on the opposite end the only thing coursing through her mind.
"Midoriko what do you think you're doing?" Reo asked.
"I want to know what's on the other end of those chains." She said as she charged her hand with green energy.
The energy shed a little light in the dark and she could make out a giant form in the back ground. She increased the energy flow to brighten the area a little more. "Hey those look like.."
She was cut off as a great force of wind blew her back. She stumbled to gain her footing as the ground began to rumble underneath her feet.
"Is it an earthquake?" Reo asked as he too started to lose his balance.
Once more they heard the familiar growl as it seemed to be coming from the darkness itself. The ground stopped shaking, giving the two half demons a chance to situate themselves. However that didn't last long as a blast of fire came their way. Reo and Midoriko dodged it with ease and Midoriko struck back, lighting her hand with green energy and striking back.
Midoriko knew she hit home, because a roar followed after. She didn't know if it was because she hurt it or pissed it off.
"Who dares enter my lair?" A voice said from the dark.
"I do." Midoriko said. "Now show yourself, or are you using the dark to hide your ugliness from the world." Midoriko said taunting whoever she was talking to.
"Can it be?" The voice said.
"It is as I thought. The Tori and the Neko after all this time." Another voice added catching Reo and Midoriko off guard.
A scaled hand emerged from the dark slamming down right in front of the two half demons. Soon the head a dragon emerged, the light from the torches reflected off of his dark blue scales.
"A dragon, I thought as much, when I saw scales." Midoriko said. "So this is what are respective families have been keeping under wraps huh?" She said as she walked up closer to the dragon.
"What's it to you half breed?" Another voice added as a green head appeared from the darkness.
"Two dragons?" Reo said puzzled. "Truthfully I thought the dragons were extinct, having been killed off thousands of years ago."
"Goes to show how much you know." The green head said. "Personally we would like nothing more than to wreak our revenge upon your cursed clans for our imprisonment here. If it wasn't for these damned chains that binds us…" The dragon said as it tried to inch its way closer to Midoriko.
"Sounds like a personal problem." She said, before turning to face Reo. "Reo let's go. My curiosity has been satiated." She said as they made their way back towards the entrance.
The dragon laughed. "That's right little half demon, run back to your mother."
Midoriko stopped in her tracks, her fists tightly balled up. "I didn't quite catch that. What did you say?" She asked.
"I said run back home to your mother, this is no place for a child, nor a puny half breed such as yourself."
"I thought so." She muttered. Midoriko turned around and began to walk back to the two headed dragon. "A lot of talk coming from a shriveled up, oversized lizard. I've seen dragonflies spit flames hotter than yours."
"Such insolence. Then again you only have the courage to say so while we're shackled. Why don't you come a little closer and say that again." The blue dragon taunted.
"Gladly." Midoriko answered. She walked up closer to the dragon looking both of them in the eyes. The dragons wasted no time in attacking, raising their right foot and bringing it down on top of her.
"Midoriko!" Reo called out.
The two heads began to chuckle evilly. "Wanna try your luck next kitty cat?" The dragons asked.
"Aren't we getting a little ahead of ourselves?" They heard a voice say from above.
They looked up to see Midoriko in the air. Angered the dragons lashed out with their claws, but Midoriko was faster. She dove downward with her left foot extended and landed a swift kick to the blue dragons face. She jumped back up when the green head tried to snap her up in his jaws, and countered him with a round house kick.
"Cocky little brat." The dragon said and they both spat fire down upon her.
Midoriko ran to the right as the dragons pursued with their flames. She lit her fists up with green demonic energy once again and countered the flames with her own. They collided as one tried to overpower the other.
Reo was about to assist Midoriko when she told him to stay back. "No Reo, this is my fight." She said.
"Are you insane? You honestly don't believe you can take him by yourself?" He responded.
"I do, besides how many people get to say they actually slayed a dragon?" She said.
She was locked in a stalemate with the two dragons as both of their energies caused an explosion to take place, shaking the room they were in. The chains that held the dragon began to slack a little. Midoriko and the dragons noticed, and she jumped back as they lunged forward. She quickly darted to the left avoiding the dragon's jaws, she quickly followed up with another blast to the dragon's face.
"Damn, did I even hurt it?" Midoriko wondered.
"It's going to take a lot more power than that to break these scales." The green headed dragon spoke.
"Then that's what I'll have to do." Midoriko said as she jumped out of the dragons range. She quickly began to center herself..
"Foolish child. Do you think we're just going to let you sit there and meditate?" The blue head roared.
They charged up their fire breath, but before they could fire at her Reo intervened quickly punching them in the face.
"So now the kitten wants to play?" The blue head spoke.
"We had almost forgotten about you." The green head finished.
Reo dodged the claws of the dragon as he bought time for whatever Midoriko was going to do. Midoriko concentrated, hoping that this time she wouldn't lose control over her abilities like she normally did when trying to amass so much energy. She watched as Reo danced around the two headed dragon with ease or so he was making it seem.
"Hold still, we're trying to squash you." The dragons said.
"I guess us mere children are too much for you to handle, wouldn't you agree?" Reo asked as he dodged the dragons clawed hand.
"You little runt. You have absolutely no idea of whom you're dealing with. I am Yasei the Immortal!" The two headed dragon shouted.
'Immortal huh? We'll see about that.' Midoriko thought.
Reo jumped back as Yasei moved forward from the dark. He stretched his wings that have grown old with age, as they had torn near the edges and small holes here and there. Nonetheless he flapped them and summoned mighty winds. Reo braced himself as the wind picked up around him. He was slowly being pushed back and thanks to being enclosed in the area the dust that the wind kicked up was making it hard to see his opponent.
Reo still was prepared, as he dodged the swipe from Yasei's claws, and the fire attack that followed after. However he wasn't ready for the surprise attack that came from behind as the green head lunged through the smoke with his jaws open, ready to swallow Reo whole.
Luckily Midoriko had just finished centering herself and with her newfound strength launched herself in between the attack with blinding speed as she encased her fists in the black aura and landed a punch to the dragon's head.
The dragon recoiled as it gazed upon Midoriko. "She has two auras? Most peculiar, just what are you child?" Yasei asked her.
"Your executioner." Midoriko declared as she pointed to the dragon.
Yasei chuckled. "That remains to be seen." He said.
Yasei attempted to move forward but could not thanks to the chains. Instead he began to flap his wings, creating a funnel around them. Yasei then shot fire into the funnel, setting it on fire.
"He's trying to roast us." Reo said.
"Emphasis on trying." Midoriko replied. "However this works to my advantage." She said with a smile.
"What do you have planned? Is it some new technique you learned while training with Midoriichi?" Reo asked her.
"Just watch and be amazed." Midoriko said.
She closed her eyes and began to concentrate on the funnel cloud that they were trapped in. She was able to feel herself synergizing with the wind, more important the wind that Yasei was creating for her.
"How do you like it half demons? If it's not hot enough I'll be happy to accommodate you." Yasei laughed as he poured more fire into the funnel.
"No everything is just perfect." She said.
Midoriko used the wind currents from the funnel to lift herself into the air and she began to spin rapidly, creating cool air to mix with the hot air Yasei had so graciously supplied her with. On Yasei's side he watched as his flames slowly died out in the funnel, which caught the two headed dragon by surprise.
"Whatever you're planning it won't work." The blue head spoke as they continued to add more fire.
However the flames spun around the funnel and back at Yasei slamming into him with great force. He roared out as he focused on the tornado that was now in Midoriko's control.
"Kurai Tatsumaki. (Dark Tornado)" Midoriko said as she spun the funnel at Yasei.
It slammed into the dragon and crushed him up against the wall. On top of that Midoriko had seeded the funnel with her razor sharp feathers that cut through Yasei's scales injuring him. That attack continued for two minutes before the funnel lost its strength and dissipated.
Midoriko dropped to the ground exhausted having spent a lot of energy in using her counterattack. She was panting heavily and sweating, however she was pleased when she saw that Yasei had dropped to the ground as well.
"Midoriko you did it." Reo said. "Now let's go before that thing gets back up."
Midoriko looked up at the two headed dragon that lay before her. She looked over to Reo who had his hand extended out towards her and she accepted it. He helped her up and they began to make their way for the exit once again. They heard the chains rattle which caused them to look back.
They looked around to see that Yasei was still not moving, but the chains still rattled. Reo spotted one of the chains that was showing some considerable slack. "Midoriko look the chains…they're."
"They're coming apart." Midoriko said finishing her statement. "I must've have somehow cut through the chains with my last attack."
They watched as the chain-link broke and fell to the ground next to them. The other chains followed soon after, and Reo and Midoriko watched with wide eyes as the dragon began to stir.
"Midoriko, come on!" Reo said.
He grabbed her and they sprinted for the exit running back up the long corridor to the library. As soon as they reached the library they heard the roar of Yasei as he finally realized he was free. They soon felt the ground beneath them shake and they turned to run out of the temple, but Yasei broke through the ground and knocked Reo back.
He got up on his feet and looked around only to see no sign of Midoriko. He looked up to see Yasei in the sky above the temple. "Shit he's has Midoriko."
He ran outside of the temple to rejoin Chita and Chisana-ichi, who were shocked to see a two headed dragon emerge from a supposedly empty city.
"Reo, are you ok? Where's my sister?" Chisana-ichi asked.
"That dragon has her." Reo said as he pointed up to the sky.
Up in the sky Midoriko was trying her best not to be crushed in the jaws of Yasei. "Let me go, you deformed gecko." Midoriko said.
"Not after I thank you for liberating me. Now you shall have the honor of becoming one with Yasei the Immortal." He told her.
"As interesting as that sounds, I'll have to pass." Midoriko retorted. She shot razor feathers into the throat of the green head and it roared out in pain. It released her and she fell back to the ground.
Chita used his speed to run up the side of the temple and catch her. "T-thanks, Chita." She said.
"Don't mention it." He responded.
She got on her feet when they reached the ground and focused her gaze on Yasei. He let out a powerful roar, which turned into laughter as he looked around at the world.
"Much has changed in the world since my imprisonment. Now I'll have the chance to explore it after I destroy the Tori and Neko, starting with you."
Yasei began to charge up his most powerful attack as both his mouths glowed with ethereal energy.
"We'll never be able to get out of here in time." Reo said.
"Everyone find some cover and brace yourselves!" Midoriko said.
They did as instructed just as Yasei shot two massive fireballs into the ruins. Shockwaves flew out from the impact as the fireballs leveled the entire area. Midoriko, Reo, Chita, and Chisana-ichi were buried under rubble, dust and debris from the attack as Yasei landed back on the ground.
He looked around the area proud of what he had accomplished. "That didn't take much. After all they were just half demons." He began to laugh, but it was cut short as the four half demons climbed out from the debris.
Yasei growled with anger. "You're like cockroaches that refuse to die."
"Funny, I was thinking the same about you." Midoriko quipped.
"This is the end for all of you. I've enjoyed our time together, but it's like they say. All good things must come to an end, and for you that end is now." Yasei said as he lifted back up unto the sky. "I would say your prayers, as well as your good byes, as no one has ever survived this attack."
He charged up for his final attack, this time lightning charged in his mouth instead of fire. Midoriko, Reo, Chita, and Chisana-ichi tried to escape the area, running as fast as their legs would take them.
"Run all you like, and as fast as you like it's over!" Yasei roared.
Just before he could shoot the attack an arrow of light pierced his left wing dropping him to the ground.
"What the- who dares attack me?" Yasei growled.
"I do." A voice said.
Yasei as well as the four half demons looked over to see Kimiko holding her Heaven's Bow with Midoriichi and the Tori behind them.
"Mother." The twins said.
"You must be the leader of the Tori. Nice to finally meet you." Yasei said as he stood up.
"I wish I could say the same." Midoriichi replied. She then motioned for her soldiers to attack, and they surrounded the dragon.
"Do not expect me to yield so easily." Yasei growled. He flapped his wings, blowing the soldiers away, before shooting lightning from both his mouths at Midoriichi and Kimiko.
Kimiko quickly erected a barrier that deflected the lightning. However Yasei, wasn't going to give up so easily. He kept assaulting her barrier with his lightning.
"Midoriichi if you're going to do something, do it now. I cannot hold this barrier for long." Kimiko told her.
"You won't have to Kimiko." Midoriichi replied.
Josei had just arrived with her Neko soldiers, they immediately began assaulting Yasei, digging deep into his wounds given to him by Midoriko. Josei closed in on the dragon as he shot lightning at her. Her claws came to life and she grabbed the lightning and absorbed it.
"Thank you for the energy." She said as she ran up to Yasei and stabbed him in his chest.
Yasei roared as Josei removed her claws and a trail of energy formed a link between the two. She squeezed it and it crippled the mighty dragon.
"I got him down, seal him now!" Josei said.
"You heard him priestess. Do your thing." Midoriichi said.
Kimiko nodded. She released the barrier and formed several hand signs. "Unmei no Kusari (Chains of Fate)" She slammed her hands on the ground as a white light spread from them. They formed a perfect circle that kept expanding until it covered the ruins of the Inu Clan.
Suddenly chains of light erupted from the ground and began to shackle Yasei once more. They clasped his arms, legs, necks, wings, and tail and pulled him to the ground and into the light.
"You haven't seen the last of me. I will return and will devour you all! You can count on it!" He roared as he was pulled into the light.
The light quickly faded with his roar and Kimiko rose to her feet and relaxed. Midoriko and Chisana-ichi looked up to see the unpleased faces of their mothers and grandmother as the clan descended around them.
"Uh dude, don't look now but your mom is coming this way." Chita said to Reo.
Reo looked over to his right to see the stern face his mother was carrying. He gulped a sentiment the other three half demons could agree with.
"I rather face that dragon again, then face our mothers' wrath." Chisana-ichi said.
"Agreed." Midoriko said.
