Chapter 117: An Old Friend's and Love's Return

(In the late evening in the Lands of the Nekita; Sometime after Akane's 'rescue' from the Society of Light's control)

In the late evening in the Lands of the Nekita, we find Zera, Kenochi, Kurama, Hiei, Ukyo, Ganryu, Genki, Kira, Karin, and Keisuke along with the Digimon partners, Kamemon, Renamon, and Kudamon walking through the forest. Along the way, they had to meet up with a few demons that wanted a free 'lunch', but they were low D class to mid C class demons at best, so, they were no problem for Zera, Kenochi, Kurama, Hiei, Kira, Genki, Ganryu, Karin, and Keisuke.

Karin says, plainly, "It seems like we've been traveling for a while."

Renamon asks Zera, "Zera, are you sure you know where we are going?"

Zera nods her head and replies, plainly, "Yes! I knew that it would take at least two days to get there."

Kurama says, in a plain tone, "Lady Zera is correct. The scent of cat demons is near."

Ukyo says, with a plain tone with her Byakugan activated, "Yeah! I'm picking up chakra of those cat demons."

Just then, multiple spears came at them from out of nowhere taking some of them by surprise and Ganryu yells out, shocked, "Hey!"

"Iron Reaver Soul Stealer!"

Zera uses her own version of her younger half-brother's attack with her purple energy to quickly slice through incoming spears and the pieces fell to the ground. Kira yells out, strongly, "What's going on here!?"

Kenochi tells Kira, in a serious tone, "We're on the land of Nekita and both Zera and I are from the Dog clan of the West, so we're bitter enemies towards them."

Just then, a male demonic voice calls out, strongly, "Indeed, dog! Now, leave! You're not wanted here!"

Kurama says, in a serious tone, "We're not leaving! We came for NekitaKariba! We need her for a battle which would determine the fate of the universe!"

The male voice calls out, curiously, "The fate of the universe!"

Kenochi says, with a nod, "Yes! I take it that you people have heard about the Light of Destruction!"

The male voice calls out, shocked, "THE Light of Destruction! You lie! The Light of Destruction is a myth! It can't actually exist!"

Kira yells out, seriously, "It's true! We're fighting that alien freak since he has some of my friends and my brother! We need NekitaKariba's help to defeat them since she may be one of the five 'Chosen Hanyous'."

The male voice says, plainly, "The five 'Chosen Hanyous' you say! Very well, follow my voice to lead you to me."

Zera says, in a plain tone, "We don't need to! We can just follow your scent!" Soon after, the group goes to the forest where they will find the cat demon's voice.

(At Duel Academy's harbor; at the same time)

By Duel Academy's harbor, we find we find a small group of people assembled together in Duel Academy with Prince of the Spirit World, Koemna, being one of them. The first one is Kohaku, Sango's younger brother, wearing his Demon Hunter uniform. The second one is Keade, Kikyo's younger sister gone old. The third member is Sesshomaru, Zera, Kenochi, Inuyasha, Melody, Megumi, and Holly's father, Inu no Taishou, in a more human-like form with a golden halo over his head, and a new male dog demon. However, there is a fourth and fifth member of the group that hasn't been seen before.

The first one is a male dog demon appears to be around Sesshomaru's height with long black hair that goes to his high thighs and narrowed cobalt eyes as well as similar marks as Inuyasha's when he goes demon, except that they were black with three claw marks on both cheeks. He was wearing a dark violet long sleeved kimono top and black hakama pants with his claws almost the same size as Sesshomaru's, but he appears to be missing a left arm.

The second one is an elderly female that looks exactly like Cologne as well as the same size as her, except that she was wearing a red version of Cologne's shirt with a Japanese symbol and green pants with a similar stick as Cologne.

Inu no Taishou says, looking around, "So, this must be the Duel Academy place that my children are as well as Izayoi are."

Kohaku says, with an amazed tone, "It's incredible."

Keade says, with a sigh, "I can't help to wonder about people and their need to build in such places. Kagome's Tokyo is incredible place. It is hard to believe that it was Edo of our time and it is the center of our country."

Koemna says, with a serious tone, "After the event known as World War II, Japan has developed into an economic super-power with many products used in this time made here in Japan. There are very few nations in the world of today that can revive Japan in economic power and the same with technological development. The latest technologists are developed here."

Keade says, with a nod of understanding, "Interesting. Interesting indeed."

The female elderly asks Koemna, "I'm sure that you didn't summon us here formalities or a tour, Lord Koemna."

Koenma says, with a nod, "You are quite right, Lady Yukio. We summoned all of you here to lend your aid since the Spirit World detects more negative forces here and the guys and girls already here might need some aid in dealing with the evils they have to already face."

Inu no Taishou says, with a solemn sigh, "Yes! You've told me about my and Izayoi's son's and daughters' as well as Izayoi's brainwashing by this Dartz person or the persona of Dartz and my daughter, Zera, forbidding Inuyasha from ever having anything to do with this Kagome girl after what has happened to them. I don't understand how someone as kind-hearted as her would turn into a cold-hearted and unforgiving person."

The black haired dog demon says, with a solemn sigh, "It's partially my fault that this happened, milord. If I haven't acted foolish at THAT day, then things would have been different."

Inu no Taishou tells the black haired dog demon, with a kind smile, "You're planning to redeem yourself, Korvo, and once that happens, Zera would forgive you."

Korvo says, solemnly, "I hope so! I really missed her!"

Keade says, with a snort, "Though, I find it hard to believe that Inuyasha has more than two sisters and Melody and Zera were once kind-hearted beings that wouldn't shed blood even if that blood happens to be a priestess." Keade says, with a sigh, "Though, the kind of action that Zera took isn't quite reasonable at best. I can't believe the kind of damage that my sister has done."

Korvo tells Keade, in a plain tone, "Lady Keade, us demons were told about the evils of the Light of Destruction, so it's possible that your sister was tricked, but I'm not favoring her at all for what she did to Inuyasha."

Koenma says, in a serious tone, "We better head over to the others."

Yukio says, in a serious tone, "Indeed, Lord Koenma. I need to speak to my sister about our devious great-granddaughter's actions as well!" Soon after, the group continues to walk towards the school.

(With our heroes and heroines; sometime later)

Within the school infirmary where many of the soulless victims of the Orichalcos were lying, including Nabiki Tendo, Happosai, as well as Akane's friends, Yuka and Sayuri, we find our heroes and heroines assemble there were Ms. Fontaine were checking up on Ryoga Hibiki, who's clothes were restored, thanks to Botan and fully healed along with Cologne thanks to Yukina.

Gatomon asks Cologne, "Are you okay?"

Cologne says, with a kind smile, "I'm fine now." Cologne says, solemnly, "Though, we lost a lot of our comrades to the Orichalcos."

Soun, who was still at the bedside of her soulless daughter, says, while weeping, "Nabiki…! What have they done to you!?"

Jaden tells Soun, in a serious tone, "Don't worry, Mister Tendo! We'll get Nabiki back!"

Davis says, in a serious tone, "Yeah and along with every innocent soul that the Orichalcos has stolen!"

Soun yells at Jaden and Davis, angrily while showing his 'demon head', "THEN, WHAT'S TAKING YOU SO LONG TO DO IT!? YOU ALL WERE JUST STALLING LONG ENOUGH TO TAKE MY DAUGHTER!!!" Soun's response were unnerving both Jaden and Davis a lot.

Hikari tells Soun, in a serious tone, "Mister Tendo, it wouldn't be that easy! Even though, we're getting close to rival Inuyasha and his family, they'll still overpower us with people like Hotaru and Light Yagami acting as the brains of the operation."

Genma says, with a plain tone while placing Happosai's soulless body in a box, "The girl is correct, Tendo. Hotaru is known for her talent to anticipate her enemies' next move." Genma then says, duck taping the box closed, "And that kind of talent is quite dangerous used for evil." Genma then quickly writes with a black permanent marker in big bold words 'To the North Pole'.

Keiko asks Genma, while looking at the box, "What are you doing, Mister Saotome?"

Genma says, laughing nervously, "You see, I decided that…!"

TK asks, with a serious glare at Genma, "And where's Happosai's body?"

Genma says, standing up slowly, "Well, the thing is that…" Soon enough, Genma bolts quickly towards the exit, but he was hit in the forehead by a familiar cane, knocking him down and he comes in face-to-face with Yukio.

Yukio says, with a snort, "I see that you were planning on running away from the crimes you've committed, Genma Saotome."

Cologne yells out, strongly, "Yukio!"

Yukio looks at Cologne and she says, with a sly condescending sneer, "Hello, little sister! I see that you're looking well."

Jaden says, surprised, "Am I seeing double!?"

Cologne says, in a serious tone, "She's my older twin sister, Yukio, the Elder of the Japanese Amazon Tribe, the same person that personally trained Hotaru when Genma left her in the woods, three years ago."

Amaya yells out, shocked, "She's the one, who's training one of those Orichalcos creeps!"

Yukio says, in a plain tone, "So Hotaru was brainwashed just as Prince Koenma told me as well as her younger brother, Ranma."

Ryoga says, with a nod, "That's right, granny! The asshole's name is Dartz and he has control of Duel Academy."

Yukio says, in a serious tone, "I know about that, sonny boy!" Yukio looks at Genkai and she says, with a sly smile, "Master Genkai, it's been a while."

Genkai says, with a smile, "Yes, it has, Yukio."

Davis asks Genkai, curiously, "Wait a sec, Grandma, you know this old gnome." That comment earned Davis two whacks on the head from both Cologne and Yukio.

Yukio and Cologne yell out in unison, annoyed, "Who are you calling an old gnome!?"

Soun asks Yukio, curiously, "Elder Yukio, what are you doing here?"

Just then, a familiar male voice calls out, "I sent her here…" Everyone looks to see the group consisting of Kohaku, Keade, and Inu no Taishou walking into the room.

Sango yells out, shocked, "Kohaku!"

Miroku asks, surprised, "Lady Keade?"

Sesshomaru says, in a rare surprised tone, "Father!"

Jaken yells out, shocked, "What!? That's your father, Lord Sesshomaru!"

Shippo yells out, shocked, "That's Inuyasha's dad!"

Rin says, amazed, "He's so handsome!"

Inu no Taishou tells Rin, with a kind smile, "Thank you, little one! You're quite beautiful yourself." Rin then gives a slight blush at Inu no Taishou's comment and Feng says, stunned, "The Great Inu no Taishou?! It is an honor!"

The Phoenix Demon tribe gasp in shock and Inu no Taishou says, with a plain tone, "The honor is mine."

Feng asks, curiously, "But I thought that you were…?"

Inu no Taishou points to the halo over his head and he says, with a smile, "Oh, I am. But Lord Koenma granted me temporary time in the Mortal World to help you all until the evils that plague this school are done." Inu no Taishou asks, curiously, "Who are you?"

Feng says, with a sly smile, "I'm Feng, leader of the Phoenix Demon Tribe and your future son-in-law."

Inu no Taishou says, perplexed, "Future son-in-law?"

Feng says, with a smile, "Way, yes! I've met your beautiful daughter, Lady Melody, and I've planned to make her my mate."

Inu no Taishou says, surprised, "Melody? The only way for that to happen is if you were…!"

Feng says, with a kind smile, "Yes? Lady Melody has defeated me in combat. You see, that fiend Naraku, set us up against Lady Melody, Lord Inuyasha, and their group with some dirty tricks of his and I had fought your daughter. Ah, yes. It is a battle that I can't forget. Even though I lost, it was a thing of beauty to see your daughter in combat. Ah, yes. I knew that she was only mate for someone like me."

Inu no Taishou says, with a smile, "Well, I must say that he is a fine young man." Just then, Inu no Taishou felt a pain in his neck and slaps where the pain is coming from and he finds the flattened Myoga in her hands.

Inu no Taishou says, with a snort, "It seems that you haven't changed a bit, Myoga."

Myoga regains shape and he says, with a bow, "Sire, it's been a long time!"

Just then, Kagome's friends walk up to Inu no Taishou and Eri says, seriously, "You're Inuyasha's father, the same one, who gave Zera custody of Inuyasha."

Ayumi says, in a serious tone, "Earlier, your daughter, Zera, has unfairly forbid our friend, Kagome, from ever seeing Inuyasha ever again after what happened, which wasn't her fault."

Yuka says, pleadingly, "So, we were wondering if you could either make Zera change her mind or give Inuyasha custody to someone else."

Inu no Taishou says, with a sigh, "Yes, I've heard what my daughter has done. However, I can't change Zera's mind since it's no longer in my place to do so or I can't release Zera of custody of my half-demon children since it was an edict made after the time my death. I'm sorry, but I can't help your friend that much."

Kagome's friends gave solemn sighs to this and Inu no Taishou says, seeing their solemn faces, "However, I can advise her, but I can't guarantee you anything. My daughter is a grown dog demon and it wouldn't be in my place to tell her what to do anymore."

Sota says, pleadingly, "Please sir! Inuyasha has become my hero and I don't want to lose him because of this!"

Inu no Taishou says, with a proud smile, "My son has become your hero, I see? Well, I'll see what I can do, young man." On the meanwhile, Sesshomaru places his hand to one of his swords, Tokijin, with a rare angered snarl on his lips.

Jaken asks Sesshomaru, curiously, "Lord Sesshomaru…"

Sesshomaru yells out, strongly, "I know that you're there…Korvo…! Come out!" Just then, Korvo came into the room and Myoga yells out, shocked with a bit of anger, "You!?"

Korvo says, nervously, "Sesshomaru, long time no see!"

Sesshomaru says, in a rare angered sneer, "Apparently, not long enough, kisama!"

Myoga yells out, angrily while jumping on Inu no Taishou's right shoulder, "You have some nerve coming here after what you've done!"

Jaken asks, curiously, "Lord Sesshomaru, do you know this dog demon?"

Sesshomaru says, with a serious tone, "His name is Korvo and that's all that I'm going to say. What I would like to know is why you are even here after what you've done! Or would you like to lose another arm?"

Korvo winches at Sesshomaru's threat, but Keiko steps in between the two dog demons, and she says, seriously, "Now, hold on, you two!"

Sesshomaru says, in a flat monotone voice, "Stand aside, girl! This affair doesn't concern you at the least, so, stay out of this matter."

Inu no Taishou tells Sesshomaru, in a serious tone, "Sesshomaru, please, stand down! I was informed about what had happened and I do believe that Korvo deserves a second chance. Besides, this isn't a place for you to settle things."

Sesshomaru then calms down and he says, in a serious tone, "You're right, father, this isn't a place to settle old scores. Besides, when Zera and Kenochi get back from their journey, I'd like to see their reactions when they see you again."

Korvo says, nervously, "Yeah…!" Sesshomaru's reaction to seeing Korvo gave surprised look to Miroku, Sango, Shippo, Feng, and his Phoenix Demon Tribe.

Sango says, in a whisper to the others, "I've never seen Sesshomaru so angry since that business with the Panther Demon Tribe."

Miroku says, in a serious tone, "Which makes me wonder what could have happened between this dog demon and Sesshomaru."

(Back in the lands of the Nekita; sometime later)

In the lands of the Nekita, we find Zera and her traveling group walks through the forest where a huge fog was surrounding them until they see a nearby village, it was completely made out of wood and stank of rotten mildew due to the intense fog.

Zera says, in a serious tone, "We're here!" The group walked deeper into the village where looking at them with a mixture of hopeful and disgust when they see Zera and Kenochi as they can pick up the scent of dogs coming from them.

Just then, the male voice calls out, "So, you've come!" Everyone turns to see a large cat walking towards them. The large cat had white fur all over with a few grey tufts as a sign of his old age and glowing purple eyes, the closer he got the more human like he became, old and wise were the only words to describe him with and yet gentle.

The giant cat demon says, seriously, "I'm Puipu, the Elder of the Nekita clan! Now, I'd like to hear about Lady NekitaKariba being one of the five 'Chosen Hanyous'!" Just then, group told Puipu about what has happened with the battle with the Orichalcos, Light of Destruction, and Society of Light as well as the upcoming 'Dark Signers'.

Puipu says, with a surprised look, "I see! So the battle between the 'Signers' and the 'Dark Signers' will be coming so."

Keisuke says, in a serious tone, "That's right, sir, and we'd like to know where NekitaKariba is."

Puipu says, in a serious tone, "There's a problem with that, young man. Lady NekitaKariba has been locked away in this never ending fog for over fifty years and everything we seem to try doesn't work, she is the only person who can lead us but she is trapped within her own depression. You see, our leader the powerful peacemaker Miyake died over fifty years ago along with his mate Katsuura, this lead their child, Lady NekitaKariba, to become deeply depressed, that is why out forest is surrounded in fog, it is because she is upset and cannot figure out why they left her."

Zera says, in a serious tone, "Rest assured, elder! The murderer of Miyake and Katsuura is dead thanks to my baby brother, Inuyasha."

Puipu says, in a plain tone, "Inuyasha, if I'm not mistaken, he's the pup that played with Lady NekitaKariba back when she was a child."

Kenochi says, with a nod, "Yes! We may help her if you can tell me where she may be."

Puipu says, with a plain tone, "She is still sitting in her favorite tree, not a day has she aged, not a day that she hasn't cried. We have tried so many different ways to bring her back for over five hundred years, we fear now the only way is to bring her back forcefully. We are not strong enough but we think you are, please can you help her?"

Puipu says, handing over a crescent shaped necklace, "We must warn you, she is not her old self, she is wild, please bring her back safely. Here, we have found that this gem helps with seeing through the fog, please take it and bring her back."

Kenochi says, taking the necklace, "Don't worry old man I don't fail." With that, the group then set off into the fog. If it was possible the fog got even thicker, the trees were lined with bare, crooked branches and not a single gust of wind blew this gave the place an eerie silence. There was no life apart from the three, not even a single bug nor a plant, everything was dead.

Kenochi brought out the necklace that the Elder had given him and it shone, it gave off a light that seemed to break apart the fog enough for them to be able to see what was in front of them.

Just then, Zera and Kenochi stopped which caused the others to stop and Genki asks them, "What's up?"

Zera says, in a serious tone, "I hear water droplets, which means that we're must be close." Soon they came to an opening in the forest, when they looked down they could see water, in was like a large lake and in the middle there was a tree, it wasn't bare like the rest of them it had full lush green leaves and powerful looking branches. That when they heard it a loud plop. As they looked up they could see a figure curled up in the tree, it was defiantly a female cat demon.

This female cat demon had layers of warm red hair fall from her head in a straight, thin mane, only ending its course in the area where her back meets her behind. Its length is mostly consistent, except for her bangs which form two equal bends for a fringe and fall gracefully to cover both her eyes, she can see perfectly well through the mask of hair. Nestled in her mane, two large cat-like ears adorn the top of her head. The pinks of her ears are clean, the fur covering them rival's silk in its softness as well as their sensitivity, and her tiger-like tail follows about the same standards, but longer strands of fur makes for a much heavier looking tail. Just like any other hanyou, her claws adorn her toes and hands and she harbors cat-like fangs behind her lips. Her eyes are a piercing blue crystal, and these hues are silted to complete her feline look. She has a slender and sexy feminine figure under a silken pale blue kimono that stopped at her mid-thigh, with a white obi, and the insignia of a joined dark blue crescent moon and a full blazing white hot sun lays claim to the corners of her long sleeves. The female hanyou kimono is tight, fitted in place with a black lapel, and bares her legs. Wrapped around her slender feminine legs were long black socks like clothing. The group could see tears running down her face and falling into the water making the plopping sound they heard.

Kenochi calls out, "NekitaKariba!" However, he received no response and he speaks out, "Milo!" Kenochi takes a step forward as this time she moved, her head snapped up and her eyes opened, they were completely blank, there was no color or life emanating from them.

Zera calls out, seriously, "Milo, you have to come back with us! The Milo I knew would never let herself become this isolated!"

NekitaKariba continued to stare at Zera and Kenochi, but her tears never stopping. She lifted her arm and the water violently sloshed about.

Kenochi calls out to NekitaKariba, "Milo, stop this! You're the strongest person I know! I know you can beat the sadness! You think you lost your family that day! You didn't! There is still your clan who has been trying to help you!"

NekitaKariba says, with a stutter from not using her voice in so long, as she spoke her eyes gained a bit of color and the fog lightened slightly, "C-cl-clan?"

Zera yells out, seriously, "Yes you stupid fool! They have been trying for over five hundred years to help you!"

NekitaKariba says, pleadingly, "Help? Help me."

Kenochi jumped over to her to which she didn't react well to, she screamed and the water boiled setting alight some of the trees surrounding them. Kenochi grabbed her and held her tightly to try and calm her down. Kenochi says, in a whisper, "Milo, it wasn't your fault."

NekitaKariba pushed him away and fell into the water, she grabbed her head as if she was in pain and walked through the now still water making it ripple. NekitaKariba says, with emotion, "Help me."

NekitaKariba was thrashing about, the wind sped up, the fire grew, the water raged, the ground shuck. Zera goes after her long lost friend dived after her, the water burning her flesh but she paid no mind to it. She embraced her protectively and the winds died down, the grounds stopped shaking the water calmed and fire died and slowly but surely NekitaKariba hugged Zera back. NekitaKariba says, weakly, "Thank you, Zera."

Zera pulled her out of the water and walked back to her tribe with others following silently.

When they arrived back the Neko's saw their leader they remained quiet as they could see that she was sleeping, Zera gently placed her down in front of the Elder, that was when she changed into her Neko form, she was blond and small, but most of all she looked peaceful.

Puipu says, with a kind smile, "Thank you for bringing her back, we are eternally grateful."

Ganryu says, sitting down, "No problem old man."

Zera and Kenochi think in their minds, with concern, "I hope you're alright."

(The next morning; in the Neko lands)

The next morning, we find ourselves still in the Neko lands where in a small hut, we find an unconscious NekitaKariba with Zera and Kenochi by her bedside, refusing to leave until she awakens which caused everyone to question why. They were after all dog demons, technically a mortal enemy of the Neko demons and yet they saved one of them. Just then, Kira, Genki, Kurama, Hiei, Karin, Keisuke, Ukyo, and Ganryu, along with the Digimon partners of Kamemon, Renamon, and Kudamon.

Kurama asks, curiously, "How is she feeling?"

Zera says, in reply, "She needs some rest, before she wakes up."

Kira asks Zera and Kenochi, "Why do you two call her 'Milo' when her name is NekitaKariba?"

Kenochi replies, "When we met she told us that her name was too long so she came up with a nickname for herself which was Milo."

Hiei says, in a plain tone, "She's awake!"

After NekitaKariba has awaken she transform back to her normal form, she then looks at Zera and Kenochi and she yells out, excitedly, "Zera! Kenochi!" NekitaKariba grabs the two dog demons in a fierce hug and Zera says, placing an arm around NekitaKariba, "Yes! It's us, little one."

Kenochi says, with a smile, "We're glad that you're awake." Soon after, NekitaKariba lets go of them and she says, with a smile, "This isn't a dream after all! You've come!" Just then, NekitaKariba places a solemn frown and she says, "Did Inuyasha and Melody tell you what happened?"

Zera says, in a serious tone, "No! We were told this by a friend of ours! Inuyasha and Melody told us that you were dead and it caused us a great grief."

NekitaKariba says, plainly, "They did!"

Hiei says, in a serious tone, "I hate to break up this little reunion, but weren't we here to perform a job."

NekitaKariba asks, curiously, "What kind of a job?" Just then, Zera and Kenochi told them about what has happened, especially with what had happened between Inuyasha and Kagome through Zera 'stretches' the truth a bit due to her kind of personality and feelings for her family.

When she was done, NekitaKariba gasps in shock and she says, angrily, "I don't believe it! Holly and Megumi were still alive this entire time while Lady Izayoi was brought back from the dead and they're brainwashed by a sadistic asshole along with Inuyasha and Melody, because those mikos!"

Kira says, nervously, "NekitaKariba, you don't understand…"

NekitaKariba says, with a plain tone, "Don't understand what? That your brother left the girl that he claimed to love to be raped by an asshole and called her a 'traitor' to their relationship? Also, I find that cousin of yours had the gull to call my brother a 'traitor' as well, when she was the traitor and made herself look like the helpless victim when she really wasn't! You have an excuse: You were tricked! But your brother and cousin have no excuse for what they did!" Kira winch at this and while she had far more strength than NekitaKariba, this really made her feel weak. NekitaKariba says, in a serious tone, "When I find the two mikos responsible for Inuyasha's brainwashing, I'm going to use them as my personal starching post!"

Zera tells NekitaKariba, in a serious tone, "I couldn't agree with you more, Milo! Unfortunately, this isn't the Feudal Era anymore, meaning that there's a new law stating that yokais and hanyous can't kill any humans, no matter what the cause is, so we can't kill the stupid miko brat! However, when we find the claypot, we can do whatever we please since that would suit me just fine."

Kenochi sighs and he tells NekitaKariba, "Milo, we need your help to save my brother and sisters from Dartz, since you may be another 'Chosen Hanyou'."

Just then, Puipu comes in and he tells her, "Lady NekitaKariba, you must leave with them! The Light of Destruction is a terrible being that plans on destroying the darkness and without darkness to balance the Light, then all life not only in this world, but the universe will die. Besides, we've survived for five hundred years without you and I know that you'll return."

NekitaKariba says, in a sigh, "I guess…but it'll be painful to have to see Inuyasha and Melody again."

Keisuke says, in a serious tone, "And most likely, Dartz must have perverted the last encounter that you had with those two and turned them along with Megumi and Holly against you."

NekitaKariba gasps in shock and Genki yells at Keisuke, annoyed, "Keisuke…!"

Keisuke says, in a serious tone, "Hey, I'm just trying to be realistic here. We have to be ready to face whatever nasty tricks that Dartz as well as that alien freak, the Light of Destruction, has planned for us!"

Karin says, with a sigh, "I hate to admit this as harsh as it seems, but Keisuke has a point."

NekitaKariba says, in a serious tone, "And this could be a chance that I have to make things right with Inuyasha and Melody, because I miss them so much and feel bad for all things that I've said and done to them. But I had an obligation as a Neko to fight against dog demons and my father had forbid me from seeing them again."

Zera says, with a rare kind smile, "We understand, Milo, and when you explain things to them, then they'll understand."

NekitaKariba says, with a smile, "I guess that I'll go with you…where are we going?"

Kira says, in a plain tone, "We're going to Academy Island! There's where our friends and allies will be."

NekitaKariba says, with a smile, "Then, Academy Island it is!"

(Within the Orichalcos Headquarters; sometime later)

Within the Orichalcos Headquarters, we find Dartz kneeling before the three serpents, praying while the Orichalcos warriors, with the exception of Light, Hotaru, and Michael, were behind him. Just then, Light Yagami, Hotaru Saotome, and Michael Angel walk into the room along with the other Orichalcos warriors came into the room.

Dartz opens his eyes as he stands up and he says, turning to his associates, "Is there something that you three need?"

Michael steps up and he says, in a dark cold serious tone, "Master Dartz, I think I have a way for Ranma, Hotaru, Auntie Saotome, Daisuke, Hiroshi, Hikaru, and Mayumi to use the Orichalcos curse marks more effectively than before without any mishaps."

Dartz asks Michael, curiously, "What do you have in mind, Mister Angel?"

Michael says, in a dark cold serious tone, "We thought that one day the curse marks will go haywire, so Melody, Megumi, Holly, Hotaru, and I made a few pods to make the bodies of the ones with the Orichalcos Curse Marks strong enough to handle to curse marks without any negative drawbacks. However, they will be out of action for a day."

Ranma tells Michael, with a dark cold smile, "Hey don't worry, man! A day won't be too bad!"

Daisuke says, with a dark cold sly grin, "Yeah! Success is never easy! Plus, with Inuyasha and his family around, we'll be safe incase those dorks actually found our headquarters."

Dartz says, with an evil sly smile, "This scheme of yours seems interesting, Mister Angel! I'll allow your project to continue."

Michael bows and he says, with an evil smile, "Thank you, sir! I won't disappoint you!"

Nodoka asks Hotaru, "Hotaru, did you and your brother give the tape to the Society of Fools?"

Hotaru says, with a dark cold sly smile, "Yeah, mom! I'd like to see their faces when the see that the rest of their Divine Warriors are gone."

(Within the 'White Dorm'; sometime later)

In the Sartorius' quarters within the 'White Dorm', we find Sartorius and our SOL controlled heroes and heroines assembled there watching a tape that was thrown towards their window, breaking it and revealed to be from the Orichalcos. The SOL controlled heroes and heroines were horrified as they watched the duels with Nabiki Tendo, the SOL controlled Akane Tendo, and her friends, Yuka and Sayuri, against the Orichalcos controlled Ranma Saotome in his cursed form, Daisuke, and Hiroshi and the souls of Nabiki, Happosai, and Akane's friends were taken horribly.

Yolei says, horrified, "Oh Kami…! Poor Akane, Yuka, and Sayuri!"

Ken says, in a horrified tone, "They were our only Divine Warriors in our Society!"

Kari says, in a cold serious tone, "And now, their souls were taken along with Akane's sister and that old freak!"

Sartorius says, with an evil smile, "Don't fret, my friends! Destiny has shown me another way of turning the tides to our favor."

Alexis asks, curiously, "How sir?"

Sartorius says, with an evil smile, "It seems that Lord Inuyasha and his sisters had a childhood friend, another hanyou, except it was a Neko hanyou! I do believe that this hanyou is another 'Chosen Hanyou' like Lord Inuyasha and his sisters."

Ray says, surprised, "Another 'Chosen Hanyou'!?"

Sartorius says, in a serious tone, "Yes! I believe that she'll make a good addition to our Society of Light! She's on her way to Duel Academy and being escorted by Lady Zera and Lord Kenochi as we speak."

Yusuke says, in a cold serious tone, "Don't worry, sir! We'll get that Neko Hanyou and make sure that she sees the Light!" Soon after, the SOL members prepare to leave the room with Sartorius call out to Hilary, "Miss Tachibana, may I have a moment with you?!"

Hilary stops as the rest of her fellow SOL members left the room and she says, curiously, "Yes, sir!"

Sartorius says, with an evil sly smile as he stands on his feet, "Yes, my dear. I think that it is time to visit an old friend."

Hilary asks, perplexed, "Sir?"

Sartorius faces Hilary with an evil sly smile and glowing violet eyes and he says, "It is time for you to bring Tyson Granger into the Light!" Hilary's eyes become blank as she closes them and after a minute, she opens them again to reveal her cold and lifeless eyes.

Hilary says, with an evil sly smile, "Yes, Master! I am at your command!"

Sartorius says, with an evil sly smile, "I knew that you would see things my way!"

Hilary says, with an evil sly grin, "Don't worry, Master Sartorius! I'll make sure that Tyson finally see things our way!"

Sartorius says, with an evil sly smile, "I know, my dear. Now, let us begin."

Hilary says, with a cold emotionless tone, "Yes, Master!"

(At Duel Academy's harbor; sometime later)

Around Duel Academy's harbor, we find Genki along with Kudamon, Kira, Renamon, Karin, and Keisuke as well as Zera's big blue energy ball appears behind with Zera, Kenochi, Kurama, Hiei, Ukyo, Kamemon, Ganryu, and NekitaKariba appearing.

NekitaKariba says, looking around, "So, this is Duel Academy?"

Kurama says, in a serious tone, "That's right, Lady NekitaKariba! Most likely, the Light of Destruction knows about your appearance right now and no doubt would try to brainwash you."

Kira yells out, in a dark serious tone, "That's not happening anytime soon!" Kira then notices Zera and Kenochi having very not so pleasing looks on their faces and she asks, curiously, "What's wrong with you two!?"

Zera says, in a deadly serious tone, "It seems that a certain not wanted scent has arrived here!" Without another word, Zera and Kenochi rushes away with their speed leaving the others behind.

Karin asks, curiously, "What's wrong with those two!?"

Hiei says, in a serious tone, "There's only one way to find out! Come on!" Soon after, the rest of the group rushes over to follow Zera and Kenochi.

(Within the Slifer Red dorm; sometime later)

Within Chazz's redesigned room, we find Akane Tendo, in her female Obelisk Blue uniform instead of her female SOL member uniform, watching many tapes that she requested from Koenma about Ryoga's curse and her times with P-chan. Needless to say, she has a mixture of horror, grief-stricken, betrayal, and anger in her expression when watching them. At her right, her older sister, Kasumi Tendo was in the room with a concern look on her face when she sees Akane watching the tapes. After she was freed from the control of SOL, she were amazed to find out the current and all of the information about the current situation including the Da-zoku, To-zoku, the 'Supreme Princess', the Orichalcos, the 'Signers' and 'Dark Signer' war coming soon, Eternal and Divine Warriors, the Digidestined, the new allies against the Light of Destruction and Society of Light, the Millennium Items, the Darkness of Salvation, its connection with the Light of Destruction and the God Cards, the Wicked God Cards, the copies of the Sacred Beast cards, and much more, including her role in the SOL while she was under the Light of Destruction's control. However, her role in the SOL made her totally distract especially since the memories of what she done have come back to her. We find Akane sitting on the couch with her sister with solemn and distract look on her face.

Akane thinks in her mind, flabbergasted, "I can't believe it! I really can't believe it! Ryoga is P-chan! All this time! All this fucking time! I took almost half of Hotaru's beatings for nothing and Ryoga did nothing to fess up about his secret!"

Kasumi says, with concern, "Akane…!"

Akane says, in a grief-stricken tone, "Kasumi, why…? Why Ryoga didn't say anything? I know that Ranma and Hotaru knew and they were trying to tell me but I took it for them picking on Ryoga, through clues that even a kindergartener would pick up! The bandana!? The fangs!? The way that P-chan didn't like Ranma and was scared of Hotaru majorly! The reason why Hotaru beats me up for sticking up for always Ryoga against Ranma!? Ranma and Hotaru calling Ryoga, 'P-chan', 'Piggy', 'Pork-chop' and Hotaru calling Ryoga, 'Pervert-chan'…I didn't even see it! And… oh, gods how could I have been such an idiot?!?" The tears were starting to flow rapidly now, her face a mask of one who had been betrayed and Akane says, in an angered snarl, "And he never said a damned thing about it…he didn't tell me, didn't try to stop me…I…I…oh gods, I took him into my BED!!! I thought it was just a cute black pig, who needed a friend, some harmless animal I could take care of, and all the while it was Ryoga!! And he didn't say anything then, either! I…I t-told him some of my d-deepest secrets…I d-didn't think twice about changing in front of him…my gods, he saw me in the NUDE!! And here I'd thought Ryoga were kind of a nice guy! Oh Kami, now I know why Ranma and Hotaru would keep calling you, 'P-chan' or 'Pig Boy' and Hotaru calling, 'P-chan' while saying P as for Pervert and 'chan' as in little which meant 'little pervert' which I couldn't agree with her even more, except he's a BIG PERVERT! Oh damn it! I totally forgot about that time that time that you and 'P-chan' had that weird face mark on their stomachs and the time that Ranma and Hotaru wanted that Jusenkyo waterproof soap that he had! I didn't believe Ranma at first, wondering why would you have that kind of soap, and Hotaru went to great lengths to get it even had my life placed in great danger, without Ranma knowing, and it would have been placed on Ryoga's head! Now, I know why Hotaru never wanted to change her clothes when Ryoga, in his pig form, were in the room! HOW COULD HE DO THIS TO ME!!???? HOW!?" Akane then sobs in great guilt and solemn tone in her voice.

Kasumi placed her younger sister in her arms, in a comforting embrace, and she says, "Oh Akane…!" Kasumi sighs and she says, solemnly, "Akane, there's something else that you should know that not even Ranma or Ryoga knew."

Akane asks, curiously, "What is it?"

(Outside of the dorm; on the meanwhile)

Outside of the Slifer Red dorm, we find many of our heroes and heroines, along with Genma Saotome and Soun Tendo, assembled there with some with concerned looks on their faces. Earlier, they decided to allow Akane to watch the tapes about Ryoga's curse and allowed her to be alone with Kasumi there.

Mindy asks, concerned, "Do you think that Akane would be okay?"

Yukio tells Mindy, in a serious tone, "Girl, it was bound to happen sooner or later! That girl's short-temper may have cost her relationship with Ranma along with Ranma's trust."

Genma says, in a serious tone, "The boy has to get over it since he's marrying Akane!"

Cologne says, in a serious tone, "No! He'll be marrying Shampoo! He defeated her, so he marries her and you can't stop it!"

Yukio says, with a serious glare, "Are you so sure about that, little sister!?"

Cologne says, with a suspicious glare, "Of course! You know fully well about our laws or has time away from our village dulled your memory!" Just then, a big energy ball crashes in front of our heroes and heroines and appears to be Zera and Kenochi with serious looks on their faces.

Kohaku says, surprised, "Lady Zera! Lord Kenochi! You two are back!"

Kenochi says, surprised, "Kohaku, what are you doing here?!"

Zera says, glaring at Keade, "And the old witch is here!?"

Keade says, with a snort, "Nice to see you too, Zera!"

Inu no Taishou steps up and he says, seriously, "Zera, that's enough!"

Zera and Kenochi gasps in shock and Kenochi says, surprised, "Father!? But how!?" Just then, the others along with NekitaKariba came running.

Inu no Taishou says, looking at NekitaKariba, "A neko demon, except it's a half-demon too."

Kenochi says, pointing at NekitaKariba, "This is NekitaKariba, father, but we just call her Milo, instead."

Sesshomaru tells Kenochi, "Father was brought to us to help out with our battles along with a familiar vermin." Just then, Korvo steps up and he says, nervously, "Hello…Zera…!"

NekitaKariba, Zera, and Kenochi gasp in shock and NekitaKariba says, happily, "Korvo! You're here too!"

Korvo says, surprised, "Milo! What are you doing here?"

Zera yells out, angrily while barging her fangs, "I should be asking you the same question, kisama!"

Kira asks Zera, curiously, "I take it that you know him!"

Kenochi says, in a snarl, "His name is Korvo! He's a black dog demon like me and my siblings and Zera's lover almost mate."

Everyone, except for Inu no Taisho, Sesshomaru, and NekitaKariba, gasps in shock and Miroku yells out, shocked, "Zera had a lover!"

Sango says, stunned, "That's hard to shallow!"

Zera yells out, angrily, "That's something that I'd love to forget however my forgetting spells don't work on the one, who made them!"

Korvo winches at Zera's harsh tone and NekitaKariba asks Zera and Kenochi, "Guys, what's going on here!?"

Kenochi yells at Korvo, angrily, "Now, asshole, what the fuck are you doing here!? Haven't you caused enough grief for a lifetime!?"

Korvo asks, pleadingly, "Would you believe me that I've changed?"

Zera says, in an angered snarl, "You think after what you've done that I'll be back in your arms or arm, again! Not in this lifetime or the next! Get real, Korvo!" Everyone was surprised to hear Zera saying this and Miroku says, surprised, "I've never believed that Zera would raise her voice without anyone else other than Kagome or Kikyo!"

Sango says, stunned, "I'm even more surprised that Zera actually had a lover with the way that she is!"

Yuka says, seriously, "You mean cold and heartless! Who'd want that!?"

Korvo says, plainly, "Believe me, Zera was…!"

Zera says, in a frost and deadly serious tone and glare filled with anger and hate, while cracking her claws, "If you say anything else, you poor excuse of a man, then I'll gladly rip out your other arm with my bare claws!" Korvo winches at Zera's threat as he bows his head in shame while Inu no Taishou solemnly shakes his head.

Atticus says, stunned, "Man! That's harsh!"

Sanosake says, in a plain tone, "It makes you wonder what he did to piss Zera and Kenochi off as well as Sesshomaru, since according to Sissy, Sesshomaru rarely shows any emotion, Zera is one of the people that Kagome unintentionally pisses off, and Kenochi never gets angry enough to tear people's heads off with the exception of Naraku or Koga." Just then, Akane comes out of the dorm with a grief-stricken and angered look on her face with Kasumi following her.

Ukyo yells out, with a smile, "Hey, you got Akane back from those dorks!"

Cologne says, plainly, "Actually, it was Ranma who did the work as well as sealed Nabiki's souls along with Happosai and Akane's friends!"

Ukyo says, shocked, "Nabiki was taken away too!" Just then, Akane walks over to Ryoga and slaps in the face, so hard it actually draw blood.

Shippo says, nervously, "Oh man! This isn't going to end well!"

Ukyo says, in a plain tone, "Oh man! Something tells me that Akane knows about Ryoga's curse."

Akane says, in an angered tone, "You!? You….rotten sneak! I can't believe it! You were my pet pig and you didn't even tell me! Those hits that I told from Hotaru because of me sticking up for you against Ranma didn't exactly tickle, you know! I didn't even think for a second that you were P-chan, hell, there was never a P-chan in the first place, wasn't there!? Why did you lie to me, Ryoga!? Why!?"

Ryoga winches at Akane's harsh tone and Ryoga says, worriedly, "Akane, let me explain…!"

Akane yells out, angrily interrupting him, "What!? It was Ranma's fault! Right now, I'm sick of hearing about it's always Ranma's fault! I admit I may have blamed things on him, but now, I'm able to see things clearly! You as a false friend, a pervert, a snake, a weasel, and a disgusting PIG! Right now, Ryoga Hibiki, our friendship is officially OVER! Hotaru was right after all as always, you really are a disgusting perverted pig! You make me sick!"

Ryoga felt his heart broke into pieces when Akane said those things and Akane says, glaring at her father, "And you, dad!? Why!? Kasumi told me everything about that deal!?"

Keiko says, perplexed, "Deal!?"

Genma says, in a serious tone, "It was a deal that not even Akane, Ranma, or Ryoga knew about until now. As you all ready knew this, we knew that Ryoga was P-chan, and we didn't do anything to reveal his secret to Akane since we may believe that Akane sleeping with Ryoga unknowingly would motivate the boy to revealing Ryoga's secret, even though Ranma promised Ryoga not to reveal it, but that didn't stop Hotaru."

Soun says, in a serious tone, "Hotaru forced us to agree for her to retaliate against Akane whenever she hits Ranma, unfairly, without any interference or retaliation or she'll go public with Ryoga's curse to Akane, herself! None of us, even the master, could stand a chance against Hotaru without getting hurt and not even Nabiki can blackmail her or Kasumi could convince her otherwise. It was so hard to bear Akane getting physically hurt by Hotaru, but it was for the sake of the schools joining together."

Ryoga says, in a snarl, "So, you two used me!?"

Akane says, with a snort, "Like you have anything to say about that, pervert!"

Ryoga winches at Akane's harsh tone and Genma says, in a serious tone, "We needed that plan to insure the schools joining together with Ranma and Akane's marriage and Hotaru was threatening it."

Akane says, in a serious tone, "It was thanks to that stunt, I was punched, kicked, or whacked with that stupid Power Pole through either a wall or ceiling just for siding with Ryoga by Hotaru's hands! That hurt!"

Tsunade says, in a serious tone, "Now, I know that these engagements are going to be a real problem."

Genma says, with a smile, "Yes! And the boy will solve them!"

Yukio tells Genma, with a serious glare, "No! This has gone long enough, Saotome! The engagements are nothing but trouble for Ranma and it was thanks to them, mainly that he was taken by the Orichalcos and not to mention deception from two people."

Jaden says, perplexed, "Two people?"

Davis says, in a serious tone, "Dartz was the only one that tricked Ranma! Who's the other one?"

Yukio asks Cologne, with a sly smile, "Little sister, do you know the requirements meant for the Kiss of Marriage to happen other than the Chinese Amazon has to be defeated?"

Ryoga asks, curiously, "What do you mean by that?"

Yukio says, in a serious tone, "Not too long ago, Hotaru gave me footage on how Ranma supposedly defeated Shampoo. Did Shampoo tell you how Ranma defeated her?"

Cologne says, in a reply, "No, she didn't! She just told me that Ranma defeated her. What's that got to do with anything?"

Yukio asks Akane, Kasumi, and Ryoga, curiously, "Okay, you three! Did Shampoo get knocked out by her own weapon by Ranma or not?"

Akane says, plainly, "Thinking back? Yes, she did! Ranma was only protecting me at the time though! Ranma kicked Shampoo's weapon, breaking it, and that piece was slammed onto Shampoo's head, knocking her out! By what's that got to do with it?"

Cologne says, with a solemn sigh, "I know! This means that Shampoo's claim on Ranma was never really a claim at all! I was deceived by my own great-granddaughter!"

Syrus asks, curiously, "What do you mean?"

Cologne says, in a serious tone, "It's true that when the kiss of marriage is given to a man, she is married to that person. But there are conditions. It must be an official challenge."

Ryoga says, in a shocked tone, "An official challenge!?"

Kasumi says, in a plain tone, "Excuse me, Elder Cologne. When Shampoo first visited us, she let us borrow a small booklet with some of the Amazon Laws in it. It stated that if an Amazon warrior lost a fight to a woman, she had to give the woman the Kiss of Death and kill that woman. It also stated that if the warrior lost to a man, she had to marry that man."

Cologne asks, curiously, "Was it printed in Chinese on one side and Japanese on the other?"

Soun says, with a nod, "Yes it was."

Cologne says, with a chuckle, "One of these days we are going to have to get those properly translated into Japanese. Something in the translation isn't quite right."

Ryoga says, seriously, "What!?"

Cologne shook her head and she says, "Think about it for a moment. If we went out and killed everyone that beat one of our warriors, eventually we would kill a woman from a powerful family or country. We would be in a constant state of war against every family whose daughter or mother we killed. Then there is this…we must be able to gauge our warrior's skills against that of the outside world. Without fighting matches, we could easily fall behind new teachings and skills. If we killed every woman that beat one of our warriors, do you think anyone would allow us to fight against them knowing that if they won, we would be forced to kill them?"

Ukyo raised an eyebrow and he asks, "So, you're telling us the Kiss of Death doesn't exist?"

Cologne says, in a serious tone, "I didn't say that. The kiss is only used when great honor has been lost by the hand of another. In Shampoo's case, she felt dishonored by her defeat over Ranma's. Her kiss was valid, even is she did make herself look like a poor loser."

Keiko asks, curiously, "But what about the Kiss of Marriage?"

Cologne says, with a sigh, "That too, is a bit different. It's true that when the Kiss of Marriage is given to a man, she is married to that person. But there are conditions. First of all, it must be an official challenge. If a warrior had to marry every male that defeated her in a fight or battle in a battle royal out her and the whole group of males, she would eventually have a big problem on her hands. Not only that, what if the person that defeated her was extremely evil or perverted?"

Davis says, seriously, "The old freak!"

Cologne says, in a serious tone, "Exactly! Happosai can probably beat the majority of the warriors in the village. Can you imagine the horror of being forced to marry him just because he won a fight? No, the Kiss of Marriage can only be given after an official challenge for a warrior's hand."

Akane yells out, in an angered tone, "You mean to tell me that! All this time! All this time! My house was broken into by her, since she's not smart enough to use the door and I was almost killed by this Chinese bimbo for nothing more than once!"

Ukyo says, in an angered snarl, "And Ranma was brainwashed by Shampoo to love her for nothing! That no good dirty cheating snake! I knew something stunk about that so-called law of hers! I just knew it! She pulled a lot of dirty tricks in the past, but this really takes the cake! Now, I do have a motivation to defeat Dartz and free the souls that were taken and when I find that cheating snake, I'm going to kick her lying butt twice as hard!"

Akane says, in a snarl, "Get in line, Ukyo! After what Shampoo has put Ranma and me through, she's going to pay for everything that she's done!"

Ukyo says, with a snort, "Excuse me! I seem to remember a time when Ran-chan was under that red thread spell that Shampoo laid on him and you didn't want to help him out while it took Ho-chan's threatening your fucking 'P-chan' to even help!"

Akane yells at Ukyo, seriously, "Excuse me! What about the time when you first showed up in my hometown wanting revenge against Ranma for leaving you and destroying your womanhood when it was really Mister Saotome's fault in the first place!? Or the time that Ranma was under that magical bandage that I mistakenly gave him which was really Grandfather Happosai's?! You and Shampoo were trying to get Ranma into signing marriage licenses while he was under that spell! Or the time that you, Ryoga, and Shampoo were trying to break Ranma and me up in that cursed cave!?"

Ukyo says, with a sneer, "Oh I remember! I also remember you leaving poor Ran-chan alone to go with your 'precious Ryoga' because of your usual jealous rage when me, Shampoo, and Kodachi were around Ranma! The very same jealous rage that got Ran-chan in Dartz's claws in the first place! It's always the same, Tendo, you hit first without hearing Ran-chan's story first and believe me, sugar, there's a very long list of times and ending with Hotaru flatting you! It's a no wonder why Ho-chan calls you a loser, because that's what you are, a big fat loser!"

Akane winches at that Keiko steps in between them and she says, seriously, "Wait a second, girls! We're not supposed to be fighting one another!"

Tsunade says, in a serious tone, "Now, I know that these engagements will be a very serious problem that I know how to solve!"

Akane says, surprised, "You do?"

Tsunade says, with a sly smile, "As one of the three legendary Sanin and Hokage of the Leaf Village, I have many ways of ending every marriage Genma Saotome has laid on Ranma Saotome and Hotaru Saotome with a null and void. However, there's a catch, Ranma and Hotaru will have to become Leaf Village ninjas."

Soun yells out, seriously, "That would mean that Ranma's engagement to Akane would also be null and void."

Kakashi says, in a serious tone, "That's the point, Soun! Since some of Ranma's problem happens to be because he's engaged to your daughter namely Tatewaki Kuno and Ryoga as well as your daughter's temper problem! It's even worse than Naruto's and Sakura's combined!"

Jiraiya says, in a serious tone, "However, unlike Genma Saotome, we won't force Ranma or Hotaru into a life of ninjas against their wills! That choice would be theirs and theirs alone without any interference that would include Soun and Genma!"

Genma says, with a sly smile, "Then, that would be a problem considering that the boy would put family honor before himself!"

Yukio says, with a sly grin, "I wouldn't be so sure, Genma Saotome! Once Nodoka finds out what you've done, she'll no doubt be furious to where she'll be the one, who cuts all ties of any engagements that you've placed on Ranma or Hotaru, herself."

Tsunade says, with a serious glare, "And if you even try to stop her, Genma, then you'll have the whole Leaf ninjas to deal with."

Genma says, strongly, "You can't do that! This will be a family matter! It's just as the same as Zera's family!"

Tsunade says, with a serious tone, "True, however, when matters concerning our own Leaf Village ninja, namely Nodoka, then it concerns the whole Leaf Village! Of course, unlike Zera's family, none of us have a connection to the Village Hidden in the Moonlight! Plus, as Hokage, if I happen to see that you or Soun have influenced Ranma into decline my offer, then I'll see to it that the two of you are locked up forever!"

Soun was going to speak, but Akane hold him back, and Akane says, solemnly, "Don't, dad! It's not worth it!"

Soun says, seriously, "Akane, this is a pledge that Saotome and I made before you and Ranma were born and just because of one incident, it's going to be destroyed!"

Anko says, in a serious tone, "It's not just because of one incident, Soun! I bet that the pressure of having those fiancées chasing him around was building up within Ranma and I'm even surprised that he's kept it up for as long as he did! I'll be even more surprised if he continues this lifestyle!"

Just then our heroes and heroines that are spiritual aware or can sense chakra sense something and Kakashi says, with a plain tone, "We have visitors and these kind of chakra comes from members of the Society of Light, everyone."

Ino says, with a dark annoyed tone, "Just great! Another white dork!" Everyone looks towards the source to see the SOL members with the exception of Hilary, walking towards them.

Jaden yells out, in a dark annoyed tone, "Oh great! What do you dweebs want!?"

Amaya says, in a dark nasty tone, "Yeah! This is our turf and you Society rejects aren't welcome!"

Alexis says, pointing at NekitaKariba, "We're here for her! The fifth 'Chosen Hanyou'!"

Zera says, cracking her claws with a deadly glare, "You're getting her over my dead body!"

NekitaKariba asks, curiously, "Who are these guys?"

Kenochi says, in a serious tone, "They're called the Society of Light who are controlled by the Light of Destruction. Whatever you do, don't listen to a word that they say!"

Masaru says, in a dark serious tone, "Why don't you Society freaks leave or you might get hurt!?"

Yusuke says, in a cold serious tone, "We're not leaving without the Neko hanyou!"

Kino says, in a dark snort, "Either you leave or you leave in pieces! Either way, you're leaving!"

Yusuke says, in a cold annoyed tone, "Do you want to start something!?"

Mina says, with a dark sly smile, "Believe me, Urameshi, it's already begun! You and your Society of Freaks better leave or something will be broken and we're not taking about your prides!"

Just then, a familiar female voice calls out, coldly, "We don't have to listen to what you nonbelievers say!" Just then, Hilary Tachibana walks up of the SOL crowds with a lifeless look in her eyes.

Tyson thinks in his mind, horrified, "Hilary, what has that freak done!?"

Just then, a darker version of Tyson's voice calls out in Tyson's mind, in a dark serious tone, "Look, dude, I know how you feel, but that's not really Hilary!"

Kenny says, in a dark plain tone, "There's something different about you, white wench!"

Hilary yells at Kenny, in a cold nasty tone, "There's nothing wrong with me, shrimp! I just fully saw the Light and it's time to give Tyson a little demonstration!"

Tiara yells at Hilary, in a dark angered tone, "What did you say, bitch!?"

Genki says, nervously, "She isn't taking about you, Tiara!"

'Dark Tyson' tells Tyson, mentally and in a dark serious tone, "You see what I mean, man! If you want the real Hilary back, then you have to beat this white fake version of Hilary like how you promised when she was taken by that alien freak, the Light of Destruction!"

Max says, in a dark serious tone, "It looks like that alien freak did the same thing to Hilary like he did to Sayu and Akane!"

Kai says, in a dark plain tone, "Now, the Light of Destruction is using Hilary to get his hands on Tyson!"

Tyson takes an Academy style duel disk and he says, in a dark serious tone, "That's not going to happen! I'm not going to be brainwashed by that alien freak!"

Tyson attaches the duel disk to his left wrist and Hilary says, with an evil sly smile, "That's what you think, Tyson! You can't escape from destiny and when you lose, you and the other 'Chosen Hanyou' will come with us to the Light!"

Kenochi yells out, strongly, "That's not going to happen! We're not letting you anywhere near Milo!"

Tyson takes out his Academy style duel disk, attaches it to his left wrist, and he says, in a dark serious tone, "Don't worry, Kenochi! That's not going to happen! They're not taking me or NekitaKar…whatever her name is! Anyway, she's not going anywhere!" The two of them activate their duel disks, their life-points counters display 8000 life-points each, and they draw five cards from their decks.

"Game on!" Tyson and Hilary yell out in unison as their duel begins.

Starting Scores:

Hilary: 8000

Tyson: 8000

Hilary says, with a cold serious tone drawing one card from her deck, "I'll start this duel off! Draw!" Hilary says, putting one card on her duel disk, "So, I start off with playing my UFO Turtle in defense mode!" UFO Turtle (1400/1200) appears on the field in defense mode.

NekitaKariba yells out, shocked, "What was that!? Magic!?"

Zera tells NekitaKariba, in a serious tone, "It is harmless! It's called a hologram, a technology of this time! That 'fireball' is just a mass of lights that humans in this time use to create images like that."

NekitaKariba says, shocked, "Amazing! It looks so real!"

Tyson says, with a dark serious tone, "My move, dork!" Tyson says, putting one card on his duel disk, "And I'll play my Armed Dragon Level three in attack mode!" Soon after, Mirage Dragon (1200/900) comes to the field in attack mode. Tyson says, with a dark sly smile, "I think it's time for a little change of scenery!" Just then the Millennium Symbol appears on Tyson's forehead as dark violet and black fog surrounds the area.

NekitaKariba looks around and she asks, "Is this part of the hologram as well!?"

Kenochi says, with a sly smile, "No! This is a Shadow Game!"

Korvo says, surprised, "Shadow Game!? You mean the same Shadow Game played in Ancient Egypt that we heard when we were pups!"

Inu no Taishou says, in a surprised tone, "I never thought that I'd see one up close!"

Yusuke yells out, shocked, "What?! Another Shadow Game?!"

Ukyo says, with a dark sly tone, "Don't like it, dork?! That's too bad!"

Tyson says, putting a card into the spell/trap slot, "Next, I activate my Level Up spell card! Now, I can upgrade my dragon up to level five!" A card comes out of Tyson's dueling deck, Tyson puts the card into his hand, then onto his duel disk, and the little Armed Dragon LV3 roars as it is bathed in red light as it transforms into the larger Armed Dragon LV5 (2400/1500) in attack mode. Tyson says, with a dark serious tone, "Armed Dragon, attack her turtle now! Inferno Roar!" Armed Dragon LV5 fires a crimson blast from its mouth at UFO Turtle destroying it and since it was in defense mode, Hilary doesn't lose any life points.

A card comes out of Hilary's deck and she says, with a cold serious tone, "Since you've destroyed my turtle, I can summon a Fire monster with fifteen hundred attack points or less from my deck to the field in attack mode!" Hilary puts the card from her deck on her duel disk and she says, with a cold serious tone, "So, I choose my Flame Ruler!" Just then Flame Ruler (1500/1600) comes to the field in attack mode.

A card comes out of Tyson's deck and he says, in a dark plain tone putting on his duel disk, "I'll end my turn! Since my dragon destroyed a monster by a battle, I can upgrade it to level seven!" Armed Dragon LV5 explodes as Armed Dragon LV7 (2800/1000) appears in its place.

Hilary says, drawing one card, "It's my move!" Hilary says, putting one card in the spell/trap slots, "I play my Lightning Vortex spell card! Now, by discarding a card from my hand, I can destroy your monster!" After Hilary discards her card, a huge lightning bolt comes from the sky and destroys Armed Dragon LV7. Hilary says, putting one card on her duel disk, "Now, I'll release my Flame Ruler to activate his special ability, by treating him as two sacrifices to summon a Fire monster…Infernal Flame Emperor!" Flame Ruler disappears and Infernal Flame Emperor (2700/1600) appears on the field in attack mode. Hilary yells out, with a cold strong tone, "Direct attack Infernal Flame Emperor!" Infernal Flame Emperor launches a powerful assault on Tyson, hits him, causing him flinch from the burn as he loses 2700 in one shot. However, when the electrical shocks came, Tyson doesn't scream out in pain. Hilary says, with a cold plain tone, "And that would end my turn!"

Current Score:

Hilary: 8000

Tyson: 5300

Tyson says, drawing one card from his deck, "My move!" Tyson says, putting a card in the spell/trap slot, "First, I'll play Pot of Greed! This allows me to draw two cards from my deck!" Tyson draws two cards from his deck and he says, putting another card into the spell/trap slot, "Next, I'll play Level Modulation! First, you draw two cards and I get a monster from my graveyard! My Armed Dragon level seven!" After Hilary draws two cards, Armed Dragon LV7 (2800/1000) comes to the field in attack mode. Tyson puts another card on his duel disk and shouts out, "Next, I sacrifice my Armed Dragon Level Seven to summon my Armed Dragon Level Ten in attack mode!" Armed Dragon LV7 explodes and Armed Dragon LV10 (3000/2000) comes to the field in attack mode. Tyson then discards his Troop Dragon (700/800) monster card to the graveyard and Tyson says, with a dark sly grin, "And thanks to his special ability, my dragon gets rid of your monster when I discard one card from my hand! Armed Dragon, get rid of that peon with Dragon Sonic Wave!" Armed Dragon LV10 blast a powerful wave that destroys Infernal Flame Emperor. Tyson calls out, in a dark strong tone, "Now, Armed Dragon, attack her directly!" Armed Dragon LV10 launches a powerful black bomb of energy right Hilary, hitting her hard, causing her to scream out in pain and agony as she gets shocked while her life-points drop by 3000 points. Tyson says, with a dark sly smile, "And with that, I'll end my turn!"

Current Score:

Hilary: 5000

Tyson: 5300

Hilary says, drawing a card, "It's my move!" Hilary says, taking a breath and putting a card on her duel disk, "I play my Flamvell Magician Tuner monster!" Immediately, Flamvell Magician (1400/200) appears on the field in attack mode. Hilary says, putting a card into the spell/trap slot, "Next, I activate Monster Reborn to revive my Molten Zombie, which I used for my Lightning Vortex!" Soon after, Molten Zombie (1600/400) comes to the field in attack mode. Hilary says, drawing another card from her deck, "Then, the special ability of my zombie activates, when he's summoned from the graveyard, I can draw a card!"

Tyson says, in a dark snort, "You're going to Synchro Summon aren't you!?"

Hilary says, with a cold grin, "That's right, Tyson! Now, I tune my Flamvell Magician with my zombie to summon forth…Divine Flame Dragon!" Flamvell Magician turns into four stars that turns into four rings that surround Molten Zombie, making them become transparent with a column of light, and Divine Flame Dragon (3000/2100), a huge Asian dragon made out of bright orange flames, to come out of column of light in attack mode. Hilary says, with a cold sly smile, "Now, with every fire monster in my graveyard, it gains five hundred attack points with a grand total of twenty-five hundred attack points. Divine Flame Dragon roars as its stats increase from 3000/2100 to 5500/2100!

Terriermon yells out, horrified, "No Tyson!"

Hilary calls out, in a cold strong tone, "Now, Divine Flame Dragon, attack his Armed Dragon with Crimson Flame!" Divine Flame Dragon fires a huge blaze blast at Armed Dragon, destroying it, and causing Tyson 2500 life-points as he gets shocked by the dark lightning, but he doesn't scream out in pain.

Chazz yells out, in a cold annoyed tone, "Okay, this is getting ridiculous! How can he not feel that!?"

When the shocking stop, Tyson says, in a dark snort, "As if that would hurt me!?"

Hilary says, in a cold plain tone, "I'll end my turn!"

Current Score:

Hilary: 5000

Tyson: 2800

Tyson says, drawing his card, "It's my turn!" Tyson says, putting a card in the spell/trap slot, "I play my Card of Demise! I can draw until I'm holding five cards in my hand!" Tyson draws until he is holding five cards in his hand and he says, sending a card into the spell/trap slot, "Next, I play my Dragunity Darkspear Tuner monster! You dorks aren't the only ones that has a Tuner monster!" Soon after, Dragunity Darkspear (1000/1000) appears on the field in attack mode. Tyson says, putting another card into the spell/trap slot, "Then, I activate my Monster Reborn to summon back Armed Dragon LV5!" Soon after, Armed Dragon LV5 (2400/1700) comes to the field in attack mode. Tyson says, in a dark serious tone, "Now, I'll tune my level three Dragunity Darkspear with my Armed Dragon to summon Dragoon, the Dragon of Storm!" Dragunity Darkspear turns into three stars that turns into three rings that surrounds Armed Dragon, turning him transparent, and then a column of light appears on the field. Soon enough, Dragoon, the Dragon of Storm (2900/2000), a monster similar to Tyson's bit beast, Dragoon, appears on the field in attack mode.

Ray yells out, shocked, "No way! It's the same as Tyson's bit beast!"

Max says, in a surprised tone, "But how did Tyson get a hold of it!?"

Just then, a familiar male voice calls out, "I gave it to him!" Just then, everyone turns to see the Saint Shields walking towards them.

Kai says, in a rare surprised tone, "Ozuma!"

Ray says, in a cold serious tone, "It's the Saint Shields!"

Dunga looks at the SOL members and he says, in a snort, "I take it that these must be those Society Geeks that we heard about!"

Chazz yells out, in a cold annoyed tone, "What was that!?"

Dunga says, in a nasty tone, "You heard me, white weirdo!"

Ozuma says, in a serious tone, "I gave that card to Tyson to use against your enemies! We can't have the four Sacred Bit Beasts in the hands of evil and you guys promised that you'll protect them from and I have others for the rest of the Bladebreakers!"

Daichi says, with a dark excited tone, "Awesome!"

Hilary says, in a cold plain tone, "It's nothing compared to my dragon!"

Tyson says, in a dark sly tone, "I wouldn't be so sure, white wench! When he attacks, he decreases the attack points of the monster he attacks and absorbs it that much power!"

Hilary yells out, shocked, "What!?"

Alexis yells out, in a cold annoyed tone, "That's not fair!"

Tyson says, putting a card into the spell/trap slot, "Since when did you dorks play fair, I activate Megamorph! This doubles the attack points of my dragon since I have lower life-points then you!" Dragoon roars as its stats increase from 2900/2000 to 5800/2000! Tyson yells out, in a dark strong tone, "Dragoon, activate your special ability! Remember when he attacks, he gains half of your monster's attack strength!" Soon enough, Dragon summons a huge storm that drains Divine End Dragon of its strength as it decreases to 2750/2100 and Dragoon's stats increase from 5800/2000 to 8550/2000!

Hilary yells out, stunned, "How can this be?! I had the Light on my side!"

Tyson says, with a dark serious tone, "Ha! Your Light can't stand up to the strength of the bonds with my friends and with my deck! Dragoon, attack! Evolution Storm!" Soon enough, Dragoon roars as he summons an even more powerful wind storm that destroys Divine End Dragon and Hilary screams out in pain and agony as she is shocked from head to toe while she loses 5800 life points, ending the duel!

Final Score:

Hilary: 0

Tyson: 2800

With the end of the duel, the dark violet and black fog and shadows fade away along with the holograms as Hilary collapses on her stomach.

The SOL members yell out, in unison, "Hilary!"

Tyson says, with a dark sly smile, "That's game!" Soon enough, Alexis and Sakura rushes over to the fallen Hilary, but four Beyblades appear in front of them, making them stop. They turn to see four Beyblade launchers in the hands of Tyson, Kai, Max, and Daichi.

Daichi says, with a dark serious tone, "Don't even try, dorks!"

Max says, in a dark serious tone, "Yeah! Hilary is with us, now! Not to mention NekitaKariba is with us as well!"

Yusuke yells out, in a cold strong tone, "That's what you think!"

"Raging Blaze!"

Just then, a huge fireball came towards Yusuke, but he dodges it, and finds out that it was NekitaKariba, who fired it.

Zera asks NekitaKariba, in a rare surprised tone, "Milo, did you do that?"

NekitaKariba tells Zera, in a serious tone, "I've been training since the last time that we've met under my father. My attacks now are made out of elemental energy!"

Davis says, in a surprised tone, "That's pretty cool!"

Tyson walks over to Hilary's unconscious and burnt form and he says, carrying her, "Hilary is staying with us! Now, beat it or else!"

Tenten yells out, in a cold nasty tone, "Or what!?"

Genki says, aiming his Spirit Gun at them, "Or this! Get lost or you'll be barbequed! Your choice!"

Davis says, aiming his own Spirit Gun, "You heard him! You're dealing with many of us with Super S-class strength! Do the math!"

Alexis says, in a cold annoyed growl, "We'll leave but this isn't over…!"

Jaden says, with a dark sly grin, "You're right for once since you've join that low class cult, white whore! It's not over until every one of your white freaks are defeated! Now, leave before you'll get a hole in your gut with my Spirit Gun!"

Alexis winches at Jaden's dark harsh and she thinks in her mind, coldly while glaring at Keiko, more specifically the 'Supreme Princess', "That demon is going to pay for everything that she's done along with Dartz!" Soon after, the SOL members left the dorm with defeated looks on their faces.

Max says, in a dark snort, "It's about time too!"

Daichi says, with a dark serious tone, "Yeah! Those dorks are a real pain!"

Tyson says, with a dark sly smile, "That doesn't matter now since we got Hilary back from those white goons!" Tyson looks at Ozuma and he says, "Thanks for the card, Ozuma! It's really awesome!"

Ozuma says, with a smile, "It's no problem!"

Joseph says, with a serious tone, "We're only doing it since we were told about the evils of the Light of Destruction and we'd hate to even think if it or the Orichalcos actually has even one of them. Just one soul of those bonded with the five Sacred Bit Beasts will be enough to bring out their Great Leviathan!" There were plenty of gasps going around and Tyson yells out, shocked, "Say what!?"

Yugi says, in a surprised tone, "You mean if one of the G-Revelations members' souls will be enough to revive the Great Leviathan!"

Mariam says, with a nod, "That's right! Like the 'Signers', Yusuke Urameshi, Kagome Higurashi, and Naruto Uzumaki, any soul that is captured by the Orichalcos, who happens to be the one who's bonded with any of them is enough to revive that overgrown lizard. For an example, if Tyson's soul was taken, that would mean that Dragoon power will be absorb and it would be enough to revive it."

Kai says, in a serious tone, "If that's true, then Ray would be in danger since any of Inuyasha's family as well as Ranma's could easily take Ray away."

Sayu says, worriedly, "Crap! That would mean that Light could just write their names in his Orichalcos Note!"

Yeshua says, with a plain tone, "That's impossible since like with the 'Signers' and 'Dark Signers', Tyson Granger, Kai Hiwatari, Ray Kon, Max Tate, and Daichi Sumeragi are protected by their own bit beasts' power and if Light Yagami writes any of their names in the Orichalcos Note, then his Orichalcos Note will cease to exist."

Max says, with a relieved sigh, "That was close!"

Hikari asks Yukina, "Hey Yukina, can you…?"

Yukina says, with a nod, "Yes!" Yukina walks over to Hilary's motionless form, sends yellow energy that removes every one of Hilary's wounds as well as her uniform was back to normal. Soon enough, Hilary moans as she slowly regains consciousness and opens her eyes.

Tyson says, with a sly smile, "It's about time you woke up, Hil!"

Hilary says, looking at Tyson, "Tyson, what's going on!? Why are you wearing black!?"

Max says, pointing at Hilary's white uniform, "Before, you talk how weird why look, you may need to see what you're wearing."

Hilary looks at herself and she says, shocked, "How in the world did this white uniform get on me!? Don't tell me that I joined the Society of Light!"

Tyson says, with a smile, "Hate to tell you this, Hil, but you did! Anyway, I'm…I mean we're glad that you're back with us!" On the meanwhile, in a distance, the Orichalcos controlled Falcomon watches this from the trees and flies off.

(Back in the Orichalcos headquarters; sometime after)

In a lab within Dartz's headquarters, we find 7 similar containers to where Sasuke Uchiha was in when he went to Orochimaru for power where he learned to control his Curse Mark that he got from Orochimaru in the Chunin Exams, except they were eerie green in color and the Orichalcos warriors along with Dartz assembled there when Falcomon told them everything that happened. However, when the name 'Korvo' was said, Inuyasha and Melody gain cold enraged looks on their faces.

Izayoi says, with a dark cold smile, "So, Inu no Taishou is here in this world!"

Inuyasha says, in a dark cold angered snarl, "And that bastard, Korvo, is here too!"

Melody says, in a dark cold snarl, "Just wait until I get my hands on him!"

Ranma asks Inuyasha and Melody, curiously, "Is he someone, you guys know?"

Inuyasha says, in a dark cold serious tone, "Korvo is a black dog demon and Zera's lover as well as almost mate until he revealed his betrayal to us!"

Holly says, perplexed, "Betrayal? But Korvo was always protecting us from other demons that came and tried to kill us?"

Inuyasha says, in a dark cold snarl, "Yeah! But he revealed that he hated us because we were taking too much of Zera's time with! And that's not all! He even helped the fucking priestess kill the other half-demon children at Zera's palace and Suzame!"

Izayoi says, shocked, "Suzame!? Zera's friend!"

Megumi says, solemnly, "And ours too!"

Holly says, in a dark cold serious tone, "Suzame was another full dog demon that helped and protected us when we were children. I remember her to be kind and generous and I thought of her as another older sister."

Melody says, in a dark cold angered tone, "She was our sister, not by blood! I swore one day to get revenge for what that asshole has done and that's where my hatred towards priestesses increased greatly. You see, why Zera and I hate priestesses with a passion and never trusted that backstabbing miko since the priestess that killed Suzame resembles Kikyo quite well!?"

Inuyasha says, in a dark cold angered snarl, "Just tell us where we can find that bastard so we can make him pay for what he did to Suzame!"

Falcomon says, in a dark cold serious tone, "He's with those other dorks!"

Hotaru says, in a dark cold serious tone, "If he's with them, then it'll be possible with Yukimura and Urameshi's sisters, not to mention Yukimura's brother, Sakura, Motomiya, and Takashi!"

Melody says, in a dark cold annoyed snarl, "That would be a major pain with those guys in the way of killing Korvo!"

Light says, in a dark cold plain tone, "I can write his name in my Orichalcos Note!"

Inuyasha tells Light, in a dark cold serious tone, "No way, Light! That asshole is ours and he'll be dead by our claws alone along with Sesshomaru and my so-called friends especially that backstabbing witch! It's time for Korvo's judgment to come and he'll be paid back in spades!"

Ranma says, with a dark cold sly smile, "And we'll help you, man!"

Hikaru says, with an evil sly smile, "Yeah! In a day or two, we'll be stronger than ever and can handle the Curse Marks without any nasty side effects!"

Light says, taking out a bottle of pills, "These are Mind Awakening Pills! You see, your Curse Marks are at Stage Two. These pills will forcibly stimulate the power for you guys to control Stage Two without any problems and fighting someone like Yusuke Urameshi as well as someone like Sesshomaru would be like playing with a mere child. However, this will only kill the user when it's taken!"

Just then, there were many gasps going around with the exception of Dartz and Hiroshi yells out, in a dark cold annoyed tone, "What the hell, Yagami!?"

Daisuke says, in a dark cold serious tone, "You can't be serious!"

Dartz says, in a plain tone, "Don't fret, my friends! We came up with another plan!"

Izayoi says, in a dark cold plain tone, "My daughters and I will cast a Barrier Ninjutsu to suppress the side effects. We'll mitigate that phase to ease you guys from eternal death to a state of half death. These pills were the almost same kind of pills that were taken by Sasuke Uchiha, when he left the Leaf Village."

Naruto says, surprised, "You're kidding!"

Michael says, with a dark cold sly smile, "We kid you not! We'll never allow anything to happen with us!"

Ranma says, with a dark cold serious tone, "I'll take it! When I joined up with the Orichalcos, I'd do anything to make sure this disease covered planet is cured and also I want revenge against that rotten tomboy and her fucking pig as well as her whole family."

Nodoka says, with a nod, "Indeed!"

Light says, with a dark cold smile, "Then, it's agreed! Hikaru, Hotaru, and Mayumi agreed to this as well!" Light then gives one pill to Hikaru, Hotaru, Mayumi, Ranma, Jordan, and Nodoka each.

Daisuke says, in a dark cold plain tone, "I'd like to see this happen in my eyes, so I'll do mine later!"

Hiroshi says, in a dark cold plain tone, "Same with me!"

Dartz says, with an evil sly smile, "I'm glad that the two of you disagreed to this since I may you two as well."

Daisuke and Hiroshi say in unison, with a nod, "Yes sir!" Soon enough, Nodoka, Ranma, Hotaru, Jordan, Mayumi, and Hikaru placed the pill that they were given into their mouth and swallowed them. Just then, they grunt in pain as they all fell to the ground on their knees as they were slowly losing conscious.

Izayoi yells out, in a dark cold serious tone, "Get in position, girls, or we may lose them!" Soon after, Izayoi, Melody, Megumi, and Holly surround them in a square angle as Inuyasha places Ranma into one of containers, Daisuke places Hotaru in another container, Michael places Nodoka in the third container, and Mayumi, Jordan, and Hikaru were placed in containers by Hiroshi and Naruto. Then, Izayoi and her half-demon daughters clasped their hands together and placed their hands up in the air at the same time as green smoke came from their hands to form a green cloud of smoke above the containers. Soon after, they threw their hands down as the smoke came into the containers holding the 'dead' bodies of Hikaru, Hotaru, Mayumi, Ranma, Jordan, and Nodoka and they yell out in unison, "Four Green Mists Formation!" Soon enough, the rest of the green mist went into the containers placing a cover on each of them. Melody takes out many sutras from her skirt pocket and throws them at the containers in a huge barrage, placing them seven in each of them. Melody clasps her hands together and she calls out, "Green Seal!" Soon enough, the sutras were clasped to the containers, sealing the bodies there.

Izayoi says, in a dark cold plain tone, "There! We're done for now! All we have to do is wait for a day to pass."

Dartz asks Daisuke and Hiroshi, with an evil sly smile, "You two! I want you to bring me the souls of two of my former associates. They may be insufficient, but they may be beneficial to our cause."

Hiroshi says, with a dark cold sly smile, "Consider it done, sir!"

(Elsewhere on Academy Island; in the early evening)

At the other part of Academy Island, we find Rex Raptor and Weevil Underwood walking through the woods.

Rex says, in an annoyed tone, "I can't believe that we allowed ourselves to be brainwashed by another whacko like Dartz!"

Weevil says, in a serious tone, "And we know who's fault this is! Yugi!"

Rex says, in a snarl, "And not to mention Joey's too! They'll pay for this one day!"

Just then, a familiar male voice calls out, "Just the two morons we came to find!" Just then, the two turn to see Daisuke and Hiroshi with dark cold stares along with Chaos Duel Disks attached to their wrists.

Rex yells out, nastily, "What do you punks want!?"

Daisuke says, with a dark cold sly smile, "What do you think, Raptor!?"

Hiroshi says, in a dark cold serious tone, "We came to duel the two of you unless you're scared!"

Rex yells out, angrily, "We're not sacred of you!" Rex and Weevil activate their duel disks and Daisuke and Hiroshi did the same as well then the four drew their five cards. Daisuke says, drawing his card, "I'll start this duel off with a familiar card! The Seal of Orichalcos!"

Rex and Weevil gasp in shock and horror as they remember that card and Rex says, worriedly, "Did he just say the Seal of Orichalcos!?" Daisuke puts the card into the Field Spell slot of his duel disk and when it closes, the Seal of Orichalcos appears around him and it expands to enclose the four of them as Daisuke and Hiroshi is filled with its evil power. A short time after, there were screams of Rex and Weevil as they yell out in unison 'Not again!' as their souls were taken when they lost the duel.

(At the beach; sometime later)

Right now, we find Hilary Tachibana sitting down on the beach in her female Obelisk Blue uniform and even through it is closer to the 'White Dorm', the SOL members don't dare to come out since they know that Orichalcos and our heroes and heroines are far stronger in raw power than them.

Hilary thinks in her mind, solemnly, "How could I allow myself to be used like that?!"

Just then she hears someone coming through the sands and she looks to see Tyson Granger coming up in which he asks, "What's up, Hilary?"

Hilary asks Tyson, "What are you doing here?"

Tyson replies, "Checking up on you, what's else?!"

Hilary tells Tyson, choking back tears, "I can't…I can't…"

Tyson goes over to her, sit by her, and he tells her, in a comforting tone, "That wasn't you, Hilary! That was that alien freak in Sartorius controlling you!"

Hilary says, lowly, "It is a bit surprising that Sartorius is much a victim like us."

Tyson says, with a nod, "I know, Hilary. It was for us too, but now, we know the truth. However, unlike you, this alien freak is inside of Sartorius' body and normal exorcism isn't going to work on him. We can't be sure that there is anything left of the real Sartorius after he tried to aid us. But it looks like Dartz beat us to the keys."

Hilary tells Tyson, "I'm sorry, Tyson."

Tyson tells Hilary, "What do you need to be sorry about, Hilary? I told you that you don't need to be sorry about anything. I'm just really glad that you are safe, Hilary."

Hilary asks, curiously, "Really, Tyson?"

Tyson says, with his classic grin, "Would this face lie to you, Hilary? You mean a lot to mean even through you get on my nerves." Inadvertently, Tyson move his hands to Hilary's hand and when the two of them notice their hands together causing them to blush in which they take away from their hands, but when they look at each other, they can't help to see the feelings of each other in their eyes. Tyson moves his head closer to Hilary's making her blush for two different reasons. Their lips come closer and closer together until they connect and the two of them flush from the kiss, but then warm feeling come over them and they can't help to continue the kiss only pausing to get some air into their lungs. They wrap their arms around each other and continue to kiss and after a minute, Tyson manages to find a way to move his hand under Hilary's shirt.

Hilary blushes big time and she says, getting a bit annoyed and nervous, "Tyson…" But when Tyson starts to massage her breast and her blush becomes one of excitement in which she gives moans of pleasure before Tyson kisses her again. Hilary then starts to massage Tyson's chest which makes her more excited than before. On the meanwhile, some distance away, we find Kai Hiwatari watching the two of them with a curious look on his face.

Just then Kai senses someone and he whips to see Danielle Hansford in front of him and he asks, plainly, "What are you doing here?"

Kai replies, plainly, "What do you think, Danielle? To make sure that Tyson and Hilary don't get into trouble."

Danielle walks towards him and she asks, slyly, "Is that right, Kai?"

Kai says, with his classic glare, "Is that supposed to mean something, Danielle?"

Danielle asks Kai, with a sigh, "Kai, don't you get jealous or feel anything when you see your comrades get that 'special someone'?"

Kai replies, plainly, "I don't, Danielle. My life is blading, dueling, or some other form of challenge. Those who aid me, they are my comrades and my allies and if they find that, it is fine for them of which I'm… glad for them, but my life is nothing except for challenges and ways to make myself stronger."

Danielle gives a pout-like expression and she says, plainly, "Geez, Kai, don't you even lighten up?"

Kai says, with a plain tone, "I am who I am and my comrades respect that, Danielle."

Danielle tells Kai, with a sigh, "Kai, you aren't alone and you already knew this. Your friends… your 'comrades' would want for you to be happy. There is a part of me that knows how you feel and don't give me that crap, I know all about who you are and I've gone through something much like you went." Kai looks at her in the eyes and he is amazed to see the truth in her eyes about her words. Just then Kai groans a bit as an image of Keiko comes into her mind with what looks like a flaming phoenix, but it has dark violet and black flames with strange lines on its body and Keiko's eyes lose the white in their eyes becoming pitch black.

Kai holds his head and he thinks, "What was that?! A vision of Keiko?!"

Danielle asks Kai, concerned, "Kai, is something wrong? You look like you were going to faint. Are you okay?" Kai and Danielle then notices her hand on his body in which Kai leaps away and holds back a blush while Danielle has a major blush. Danielle says, nervously, "I'm sorry, Kai…!"

Kai replies, trying to regain his stoic tone, "It's okay, Danielle." Kai then takes out his Beyblade and he thinks, "What was that vision Dranzer? Keiko with a…dark phoenix? The Supreme Princess? No, Dranzer. Keiko's eyes would have gained that sinister golden glow, but instead, her eyes were becoming pitched black. Something tells me that Keiko is really on the edge of light and darkness or should I say between harmony and chaos."

(Elsewhere; around the same time)

Right now, we find Syrus and Ryoko on the roof of Duel Academy and they are looking up in the sky.

Syrus asks, plainly, "Do we really have to be up here, Ryoko?"

Ryoko says, with an annoyed tone, "No joke, Sy!"

Syrus asks, curiously, "Why?"

Ryoko says, with an annoyed tone, "Baka!"

Syrus tells Ryoko, with a serious tone, "I am not a baka, Ryoko! We could get in trouble!"

Ryoko points up to the sky and she says, annoyed, "That's why, Syrus!"

When Syrus looks up in the sky, he says, amazed, "That's beautiful."

Ryoko tells Syrus, with a prideful smile, "Told ya, so, crybaby."

Syrus says, annoyed, "I'm not a crybaby!"

Ryoko says, grinning, "No duh, you are!"

Syrus says, annoyed, "Take that back, Ryoko!"

Ryoko says, with a smirk, "Make me, twerp!" The two of them glare at each other and Syrus prepares to get up in which he trips to fall on Ryoko and kisses her right on the lips causing both of them to blush.

The two of them separate lips and Syrus yells out, nervously, "Sorry, Ryoko!"

Ryoko replies, blushing madly, "Don't w-worry about, Syrus." The two of them look away from each other while blushing and Ryoko thinks in her mind, curiously, "Why the hell do I feel this way around him!? Can't possibly lov…no!? That's impossible! Me in love with Syrus Truesdale, a known wimp, coward, crybaby, klutz, and dense person…well, maybe I'm still thinking about the Syrus Truesdale that I met back in Sarayashiki Junior High! He's not that much of a wimp and crybaby when it came to Hassleberry not to mention in his duel with Missy. He wanted to prove him to be other than 'Zane's little brother'! I guess that takes some guts! And he is cu…!" Ryoko tries to shake those thoughts from her head and she thinks in her mind, "No…I refuse to believe that Syrus Truesdale is cu…cut…! No! I can't actually believe that! We're mortal enemies! We hate each other! I mean all we do is argue! But then again back in the days in middle school Keiko and Urameshi argue nonstop and back then, I always believed him to be too rough for her. However, it turns out that Keiko is mostly the one calling the shots since it seems that Urameshi is afraid of making Keiko angry, to my surprise. Of course, they say that when people argue, it sometimes naturally mean that they care about each other." Ryoko places her hand on her lips and she thinks in her mind, "Come to think of it! We did kiss those two times, but why didn't I pound him to the ground on those things!"

Syrus places his hand on his lips and he thinks in his mind, curiously, "Why do I feel this way about her? I've always thought that we hated each other! We argue! She calls me a 'coward', 'crybaby', or a 'wimp' and I call her 'pigtail', 'bull girl' with those pigtails on her head, which I may find as cu…! No! She's not cute at all! She's a cold-hearted girl with a charm of putting me down! But we did kiss those two times, even just now. I thought for sure that she'd believed me to be pervert and pound me." Syrus asks Ryoko, "Hey, Ryoko, I've got a question!"

Ryoko asks, plainly, "What is it?"

Syrus says, in a plain tone while nervously, "You know…last year when…that Graduation Duel with Yusuke and Jaden against my brother and Kari…after that explosion, we…sort of kissed, accidently."

Ryoko says, in a plain tone, "I remember that. What are you asking?"

Syrus asks, curiously, "Why didn't you pound me or call me a pervert?"

Ryoko asks, surprised, "You mean you're asking me that." Syrus nods in reply and Ryoko says, with a calm tone with her eyes closed, "It's because I know those were really accidents! As a matter of fact with you EVERYTHING is an accident!"

Syrus asks, with a bit of annoyance, "What are you saying?"

Ryoko says, in a plain tone, "Out of everyone I know, you, Syrus Truesdale, are the clumsiest person that I know." Ryoko says, with a sarcastic sly smile, "And besides, I know that you don't have the guts to pull something like that anyways."

Syrus yells out, annoyed, "Are you calling me a coward!?"

Ryoko says, with a challenging glare, "What do you think, twerp?"

Syrus yells out, seriously, "I have you know that I've feared my fear that was too cowardly to do last year! Faced Missy and won as well as faced two of the Light Brigade!"

Ryoko says, with a sly smile, "Didn't you lose to them."

Syrus yells at Ryoko, annoyed, "At least that I didn't run away and so far, I've won almost ten metals and most of them are from the Society of Light!"

Ryoko thinks in her mind, plainly, "The twerp has a point there! He's doing a lot better than he would have last year!" Ryoko asks, slyly, "Do you really think that you are brave, Syrus?!"

Syrus says, with a nod, "Yeah, Ryoko!"

Ryoko tells Syrus, "Then I dare you to… kiss me on the lips!" Ryoko yelps out in surprise and Syrus gives a look of surprise with his jaw dropping. Ryoko thinks in her mind, "Why did I just say that?!"

Syrus asks, curiously, "Really, Ryoko?"

Just then Ryoko says, her lips seemly to have life of their own, "That's right, Syrus. If you are so tough, then you would be afraid to kiss a lovely lady like me!"

Ryoko then says, mentally, "I knew it! It is you!"

A dark voice exactly like Ryoko's voice replies, "That's right, girlfriend! I think you and that short cutie need to stop fooling around and pucker up!"

Syrus thinks in his mind, "Why would Ryoko ask me to do that?!"

Just then a dark voice similar to his own tells Syrus, "Just go for it already!"

Syrus tells the voice, "Would you cut it out?! I don't like her! She is mean and nasty!"

The voice tells Syrus, "And her fiery attitude is why you like her so much! And remember those kisses, I don't see either of you not enjoying it!"

Ryoko tells the voice in her mind, "I don't like the twerp!"

The voice in Ryoko's mind tells her, "You weren't complaining when you puckered up all those times and you actually blushed when your lips connected!"

Ryoko replies, blushing, "Those were accidents and the twerp was being clumsy!"

The voice retorts, "Didn't you enjoy the kiss even though they were accidents?" Ryoko stutters and tries to find a retort, but truth by told, she actually did enjoy the kisses. The two of them give a deep sigh in which Syrus decides to do 'dare' and he kisses Ryoko on the lips. Just then immense warm feelings start to come over them and while they try to fight these feelings, the two of them start to begin to kiss with more intensity.

Ryoko thinks in her mind, "Mmm, Syrus' lips… for a twerp… he tastes so good…"

Syrus thinks in his mind, "Ryoko's lips… never thought…" The two of them continue to kiss, unable to help themselves, and Ryoko puts her hands under Syrus' uniform in which he gets around from her touch in which Syrus' hands move around Ryoko's body he touches the exposed skin on her stomach causing her arousal to grow.

The two of them think at the same time, "So good…" For quite awhile, the two of them continue their 'make out' session under the beautiful sky as something or someone in their minds give 'victory giggles' at this.

(Back at the Slifer Red dorm; sometime later)

At the Slifer Red dorm, we find Yukina, carrying a tray of food, along with Inu no Taishou, Kenochi, NekitaKariba, Keiko, Korvo, Hikari, Kira, Miroku, Sango, Shippo, Yuka, Eri, and Ayumi walking towards Kagome's room in the Slifer Red dorm, until the Society of Light is defeated.

When they got there, Yuka calls out, knocking on the door, "Kagome, it's us! We're coming in!" Soon enough, Yuka opens the door and they find Kagome Higurashi, wearing her pajamas while lying on her stomach on her bed with a major distraught and heartbroken look on her face still on her face, which had tear stains on her face from the crying and her brown eyes were as if she was dead.

Eri says, horrified, "Oh Kami…Kagome…!" Soon enough, Kagome's friends rushes over to her with Korvo asking, curiously, "So, is this Inuyasha's woman?"

Keiko says, with a nod, "She hasn't eaten ever since she was brought after Inuyasha broke the Light of Destruction's spell on her. Kagome is ridiculed with guilt for what she's done while she was in the Society of Light. She blames herself majorly for Inuyasha's brainwashing by Dartz."

Inu no Taishou says, in a plain tone, "I've heard from our allies about what had happened between her and Inuyasha, but I never thought that she'd be this depressed."

Miroku says, in a plain tone, "Lord Inu no Taishou, we're blame ourselves for Inuyasha's brainwashing as well. Kagome would never intentionally hurt him, she cares for your son, and she hasn't eaten for days even since she came back to us. We're scared for her!"

NekitaKariba says, in a plain tone, "What I would expect of this Kagome girl would be an unfeeling monster as Zera made her out to be. I didn't think that she'd be this worse!"

Sango says, in a serious tone, "Zera tends to stretch the truth when it came to priestesses as well as the safety of her brother. She never liked or trusted Kagome at all, even though she proved herself to be trustful."

Yukina walks over to Kagome's bed where her friends were at and Yukina says, with a concerned tone, "Kagome, your food…?"

Kagome says, lowly and in a distraught tone, "I'm not hungry!"

Ayumi tells Kagome, in a serious tone, "Kagome, you haven't eaten in days!"

Kagome says, lowly, "I don't care!"

Hikari says, seriously, "You should! There's so many days that you can survive without any food!"

Inu no Taishou goes out the door and Kenochi asks, curiously, "Father, where are you going?"

Inu no Taishou says, in a serious tone, "I'm going to find your sister and talk to her. I've got to get her to see reason."

Kenochi says, seriously, "I'll go with you!" Kenochi tells Keiko, Hikari, and Kira, while glaring at Korvo, "Keiko, Hikari, Kira! If this wretch tries anything with Kagome, kill him on the spot! King Emma wouldn't care if a demon is killed so you wouldn't be breaking the rules!" Soon enough, Kenochi and his father walked out of the room with Korvo lowering his head in shame.

Miroku asks Korvo, curiously, "Korvo, what could have you done to make Zera and Kenochi angry?"

Korvo says, in a plain tone, "Lord Miroku, I'm too ashamed of myself to even say it. I just came here to help you guys get Inuyasha and his sisters back to atone for my sins against them all those years ago."

Keiko says, kindly, "It's okay, if you don't want to say anything, but with that information, we could help Zera to see reason."

Ayumi says, with a snort, "Remember, Keiko, we don't have any saying to this affair since we're not a part of Zera's family."

Sango says, solemnly, "Also, Zera would just dismiss Miroku, Shippo, and I anyways. All we can do is have faith in Inuyasha, Kenochi, Megumi, and Holly."

Korvo asks, curiously, "What about Melody?"

Miroku says, drolly, "You have a better chance against Sesshomaru than Melody. Like Zera, Melody has shown Kagome the greatest of mistrust and disrespect. She would never help us get Zera to change her mind and when she finds out, she'll just blame Kagome while at the same time Kikyo as well."

Sango says, in a plain tone, "And the next time Kikyo shows up when Melody is back with us, Melody and Zera would kill Kikyo in the spot!"

Hikari says, with a plain tone, "That's okay if they kill Kikyo as long as they don't kill Kagome."

(At Duel Academy's harbor; sometime later)

At Duel Academy's harbor, we find three figures there that appears to be Zera, Kenochi, and their father as Kenochi and Inu no Taishou were in front of Zera, trying to get her to change her mind.

Zera says, in a snort, "And what makes you think I would care! That brat can rot for all I care!"

Inu no Taishou says, in a serious tone, "Zera, I know you're angry, but you're placing the blame on the wrong person!"

Zera says, in a serious tone, "Father, it was that idiot who could easily see Inuyasha froze by that claypot witch, but accused him for betraying her, when it was she who betrayed him, by not allowing him to explain, getting herself brainwashed and plotted to kill him! If you ask me, she's getting what she deserves! She never really deserved Inuyasha's heart in the first place!"

Kenochi says, in a serious tone, "Zera, I know you're angry, but it wasn't Kagome's fault! She had no idea that Inuyasha was frozen and if she did, then she wouldn't have done what she did! Kikyo and the Light of Destruction are much to blame for all this! Right now, Kagome is lying on her bed guilt-stricken and hasn't had a bite to eat for days! If this continues, then Kagome is going to die of hunger!"

Zera says, flatly and frostily, "Again, I don't care!"

Inu no Taishou says, shocked, "Zera…!"

Zera says, with a serious glare, "Father, when you gave me custody of Inuyasha as well as my sisters, when Lady Izayoi died and from the moment they were born, I swore to protect them no matter what happened. It tore my heart while I believed that Megumi and Holly had died and I swore that I wouldn't let anything bad happen to Inuyasha and Melody ever again after Lady Izayoi died. As far as I'm concerned, this matter of action is the best way of protecting Inuyasha."

Inu no Taishou says, with a sigh, "Zera, I know that you care and love your younger half-demon brother and sisters and I'm very proud that you and Kenochi had helped Lady Izayoi caring for them and protecting them along with Lady Izayoi. From what I've heard from Kenochi that you've mostly raised Melody to be a lovely young lady and Inuyasha to become a fine young man and raised them to be strong like their older sister. For that, I'm proud of that." Inu no Taishou then says, in a serious tone, "However, what I didn't like is that you're refusing to give Kagome a second chance to prove her love for Inuyasha."

Zera says, in a serious tone, "That's because that she may do the same thing over again! I'm not putting Inuyasha in that situation ever again! The only way for Inuyasha to be safe is by cutting any ties that he may have with that idiot miko or any of her friends!"

Inu no Taisho asks Zera, curiously, "Zera, what has happened to you?"

Zera asks, curiously, "What do you mean, father?"

Inu no Taishou says, in a serious tone, "Zera, I seem to remember a young girl who was kind and gentle with a big heart. What I'd like to know is what could have happen to that girl?"

Zera says, in a plain tone, "She grew up through the loss of her two younger sisters, a best friend, and a betrayal of a beloved as well as the massacre of the half-demon children in my land, who I thought of them as my younger siblings and children." Zera says, in a serious tone, "Now, you understand, father! I know that Inuyasha loves that stupid girl, but that girl's feelings towards her, I'm not so sure of."

Kenochi says, seriously, "Zera, Kagome was the first human other than Lady Izayoi, has cared and loved Inuyasha. She even tried to do the same for Melody, but with her hatred towards priestesses and her mistrust towards, she never gave Kagome a chance. Whenever Inuyasha is injured, Kagome is the first person that you two blame unfairly! You and Melody you're your brutality towards Kagome whenever she may do something that you two don't like. It took me or Inuyasha for you two to stop treating her as if she's like garbage! Sure at times that she may misuse the rosary at times, but that doesn't make her a bad person! She wasn't used to things in our Era! You're placing Kagome with an unfair label that she's like any other priestesses without getting the chance to know her a bit!"

Zera says, angrily, "I know her enough, brother! Why should I get the chance to know a lowly priestess, the same kind of beast that killed Suzame, my best friend!? Also, didn't I specifically say that my decision is final! Whether what happens to that miko idiot, I couldn't care less!" Zera jumps into the air and Kenochi was going to go after her, but his father stops him.

Inu no Taishou says, in a serious tone, "No my son! Leave her alone! I know that the many years that I was gone, there are so many scars that hasn't left Zera's heart."

Kenochi says, in a serious tone, "Father, the years were tough, but Zera isn't the only one that has suffered along with Inuyasha and Melody. Many of our comrades had their share of suffering as much as Zera has gained. I just wish that the old Zera would come back!"

Inu no Taishou says, with a sigh, "I know, Kenochi! I know! I don't agree with Zera's method handling this. She has got to realize that she can't keep shielding Inuyasha from harm forever."

(The next morning; at the Slifer Red dorm)

The next morning by the Slifer Red dorm, we find a door that leads to Chazz's redesigned room before he joined the Society of Light opening and the head of BlackGatomon popped out, looking around for something or someone.

BlackGatomon says, looking back, "Okay, girls, the coast is clear!" Soon enough, Shizuru Kuwabara, Keiko Yukimura and Kira Urameshi get out of the room with a relieved look on their faces.

Keiko says, with a sigh, "It looks like Kari isn't here yet, so she can't make breakfast today!"

Kira says, seriously, "However, that doesn't mean that she won't come here! We've got to save our taste buds and get the hell out of here, before that girl comes over here and tries to kill us!"

Shizuru says, with a nod, "Kira's right! Hikari can't cook and if I have to eat that sloop anymore than I have to, I may die!" Soon enough, the three girls and Digimon walks real fast and they were halfway out of the dorm until Hikari's voice calls out, "Where are you girls going!?"

Soon after, the four stopped and Kira says, worriedly and a bit annoyed, "We were so close!" They turn to see Hikari Urameshi and Lalamon going over to them.

Shizuru says, with a nervous smile, "Kari, good morning!"

Hikari says, with a smile, "I was going to make breakfast morning, you know! Come on!" Soon enough, Hikari and Lalamon walk away, leaving the four with green color on their faces.

Kira thinks in her mind, worriedly, "I'd rather deal with those white dorks than eat Kari's food! I'm too young to die!" Then, the four follows the eldest Urameshi sibling with sickening looks on their faces. After a short time, the girls got over to the Slifer cafeteria and saw the lying bodies of Jaden Yuki, Syrus Truesdale, Tyranno Hassleberry, Genki Sakura, Daisuke Motomiya, Tyson Granger, Kazuma Kuwabara, and Daichi Sumeragi along with the Digimon partners of Jaden, Genki, and Davis on the ground with very sickening looks on their faces.

Shizuru yells out, horrified, "Oh god, Kazuma!" Shizuru rushes over to the aid of her younger brother.

Keiko says, getting to Jaden's aid, "What could have happened here!?" Just then, Soun Tendo, Genma Saotome, and Ukyo Kuonji came around and Soun asks, curiously, "What happened!?"

Davis says, sickening, "I've…never…tasted anything so disgusting!"

Syrus says, in a sickening tone, "No…joke…! It wasn't food!"

Guilmon says, groaning, "I…don't feel so good…!"

Ukyo notices the eggs and bacon that was prepared, walks over to them, takes a bite, and she gains a green color on her face with a disgusted look, saying, "Oh man! This is Akane's work!"

Soun and Genma got frightening looks on their faces and Soun says, nervously, "Got to go!"

Genma says, seriously, "I don't want to die!" Soon enough, the two jumps off the railing as Akane Tendo walks into cafeteria with an apron and she says, worriedly, "Oh no! Don't tell me that it's that bad!"

Soon enough, the boys got on their feet and Shizuru tells Kira, in a whisper, "I'm guessing that Kari isn't the only one, who has bad cooking skills!"

Keiko tells Akane, with a nervous smile, "Nonsense, Akane! I'm sure that it may need work!" Soon enough, Keiko, Hikari, Kira, and Shizuru takes a bite of the eggs that Akane made, but they get a sick feeling in their stomachs.

Kira thinks in her mind, horrified while feeling sick, "It's even worse than Kari's cooking!"

Shizuru thinks in her mind, disgusted, "How could someone's cook so bad!? It's inhumane!"

Akane says, solemnly, "It's that bad!"

Hassleberry says, nervously, "No! How can you say that!?"

Keiko says, nervously while feeling sick, "It just needs a little work, that's all!"

Kira says, lowly, "A little work! I think we need a miracle worker." Just then, Korvo, Miroku, Sango, and Shippo walk into the cafeteria and Miroku says, with a kind smile, "Good morning, my friends!" Korvo notices the lying bodies on the ground and asks, curiously, "What happened to them?"

Akane remains quiet in embarrassment and Ukyo says, plainly, "Akane did this to them with her horrible cooking!"

Keiko yells at Ukyo, scolding, "Ukyo!"

Ukyo says, in a serious tone, "Keiko, you've tasted it! It's not only beyond human consumption, but half-demon consumption!"

Shippo says, in a whisper, "It seems that Kari isn't the only person who has bad cooking skills." Just then, Kenochi and Inu no Taishou walk into the cafeteria and when Kenochi notices Korvo, he gains an angered snarl to him, making Korvo winches at his facial expression.

Inu no Taishou says, scolding, "Kenochi…!"

Kenochi says, seriously, "Father, you're not aware what has that asshole done! Why should we allow him to walk freely around a world of humans!? As far as I'm concerned, he's not to be trusted!"

Sango asks Kenochi, curiously, "Kenochi, why are you acting this way?"

Miroku says, in a serious tone, "This isn't something that we may expect from Inuyasha, Melody, and Zera."

Kenochi says, in a serious tone, "I just don't feel that he should be trusted!"

Keiko asks, curiously, "What did he do to tick you off?"

Kenochi says, in a serious tone, "I'm sorry, Keiko-dono, but I can't reveal it to you since I promised Zera that I wouldn't. I may not agree with what she's doing with Inuyasha's future, but I can't break my promise to my sister."

Just then, a familiar female voice calls out, weakly, "Kenochi…is right, Keiko." Everyone turns to see Kagome Higurashi, in her female Obelisk uniform while grabbing the wall, trying to regain her balance from hunger and fatigue with a weak expression on her face with tears.

Hikari, Kira, and Keiko yell out in unison, "Kagome!" Soon enough, Kagome's friends and family rushes over to her aid.

Akane says, shocked, "Geez, she looks like Hell!"

Ukyo says, plainly, "Well, hunger and tears would do that to a person!"

Kira asks Kagome, "How are you feeling, Kagome!?"

Kagome says, lowly and solemnly, "Not…too well, Kira! I'm still too ashamed to face show my face to Inuyasha. So, I'm sorry, I can't save him. Inuyasha's friend, NekitaKariba, has to save him in my place and if Inuyasha doesn't forgive me, then I'll understand."

Sango says, concerned, "But Kagome…!"

Kagome says, plainly, "Sango, I deliberately fell into the Light of Destruction's spell and lies! I was trying to make myself the victim, but in the end, it was Inuyasha, who was the victim. He was the one who was frozen by Kikyo, he was the one, whose heart that I broke, he wouldn't be in Dartz's control if it hadn't been for me."

Inu no Taishou says, in a serious tone, "Kagome, what I've heard from Kenochi and your friends were nothing but good things about you even though, there were some horrible things that my two daughters have said to you. You were the first human that ever cared for Inuyasha as a half-demon since his mother died. You can't give up just because of one situation."

Kagome says, in a plain tone, "But sir! It's impossible for me to continue like this. Yes, Kikyo and the Light of Destruction set Inuyasha and me up, but I was the one, who played into their hands who should have known that your son would never hurt me intentionally, and Dartz took that opportunity to take Inuyasha and his sisters into his claws. It's all my fault that Dartz has so many innocent souls and it was my fault that the Society of Light was even made where I ruthlessly defeated many of the Obelisk Blue students. Zera was right all along, someone like me doesn't deserve Inuyasha. She should have taken him away from me when she had the chance and killed me at the process. I'm not worth your son's tears or heart anymore and I would understand if Inuyasha want anything to do with me anymore. And furthermore, I don't deserve to be called be the guardian of the Shikon Jewel or a duelist, so…that's why…at the end of the term, I've decided to drop out of Duel Academy."

Everyone gasp in shock and horror at this and Syrus yells out, shocked, "Drop out of Duel Academy!"

Jaden says, seriously, "Kagome, you can't!"

Kagome says, in a serious tone while tears came down her eyes, "Jaden, I cheated coming here by outside help, namely the Light of Destruction's power! I don't deserve to be here in this school! Not only I'm a moron and a weakling, I'm a cheater too! Plus, how can I even look at my cards knowing that I was the causing pain to other innocent people with them. Yes, I know I was brainwashed, but I deliberately chose the Light of Destruction's lies over than Inuyasha and in the end, it blew up in my face. I'm sorry! I won't be much help as a 'Chosen Duelist' at all. When you guys bring Inuyasha and the Shikon Jewel back from Dartz, tell him that I'm sorry and give him that jewel so he can wish to be a full-fledged demon like he wanted to be. I won't be a burden to any of you again. Excuse me, but I have to get to Chancellor Sheppard's office to tell him my decision."

Keiko tells Kagome, in a serious tone, "Kagome, I know how you feel! Like you, I was a pawn in the Light of Destruction's plans! He set Yusuke and I up against each other and brainwashed Yusuke. I also felt that I don't deserve Yusuke after what I've done and I still do! I wouldn't blame him if he doesn't forgive me for abandoning him! After I've heard about that, I blamed only myself for giving him to that monster! I should have listen to my friends about Tyku, but I didn't listen! I thought that the only reason why you guys cared about me was because of Yusuke, but I realized that it wasn't the answer! You guys really do care about me! Right now, I'm still blaming myself for Yusuke's brainwashing and I'm trying to do something to make up for that mistake!"

Kagome says, in a plain tone, "Keiko, there's a difference! You didn't plot to kill Yusuke like I did with Inuyasha. You got here with your own dueling skills while I cheated my way here. I don't deserve to be here or be an Obelisk Blue! There's no real proof of me even being here! I'm a failure in being a girlfriend, a friend, or an older sister! What older sister would try to kill her brother's hero in cold blood!? Furthermore, what girl would try to kill the person that she loved!? Zera was right to even consider giving me a test to be with her younger brother. Any sensible person would do the same for their younger sibling to spare them the pain of heartbreak!"

Keiko says, trying to say something, "But Kagome…!"

Kagome says, lowly, "Keiko, if you were a real friend, you'd back off and let me do what I feel." Soon enough, Kagome staggers away from her friends and comrades while they were looking at her retreating back with worry and concern.

Akane says, surprised, "I can't believe anyone would just give up!"

Ukyo tells Akane, in a snort, "If you ask me, Akane, you should learn a few things from Kagome or Keiko!"

Akane yells at Ukyo, annoyed taking off her apron, "What did you say!?"

Ukyo yells out, seriously, "You heard me Miss 'Always Ranma's fault'!"

Akane yells out, angrily, "Look who's talking! Who's the one, who came here looking for revenge against Ranma when you blamed him for making you abandon your femininity when it was really Mister Saotome's fault who screwed you and your family over when he stole your family cart!?"

Ukyo says, seriously, "Oh yeah! Where were you when those other girls were blaming Ranma for that as well!? Locked up in your own selfish pride and image, not wanting people to believe that you actually love Ranma! Maybe, you love Ryoga since you're always helping him in public!"

Akane yells out, seriously, "Don't remind me! I wasn't engaged to Ryoga and I was only trying to be a good friend!"

Ukyo says, in a nasty tone, "Yeah! If I'm not mistaken, that's one of the reasons why Ranma was even brainwashed in the first place! I'll admit, I share some fault in his brainwashing, but you did the most damage with your stupid pride! All you ever do is hit and blame Ranma for everything! If it wasn't for people like Hotaru, helping him out, he'd probably go crazy!"

Akane yells out, strongly, "I helped!"

Ukyo says, in a nasty tone, "Yeah whenever your fucking perverted pig is in danger by Hotaru's hands or probably by family honor!"

Akane yells out, seriously, "That's not true!"

Ukyo says, in a nasty tone, "May I remind of the red thread thing and the Cursed Jewel!? You were forced into helping Ranma with the red threat situation by Hotaru and Mousse placing that Cursed Jewel on you to get you to prevent Ranma from marrying Shampoo!"

Akane yells out, nastily, "Oh yeah! How about the time that Ranma was cursed with that weird bandage that made him into a 'Mack daddy'!? You and Shampoo were taking advantage of that situation to make Ranma sign a marriage license!"

Ukyo says, nastily, "That's only a small offense compared to what you've done to him! Face it, Tendo, you're the worst of the worst!" Just then, Keiko steps in between Akane and Ukyo and she says, seriously, "Stop it, you two! Fighting each other is wrong!"

Akane yells out, pointing at Ukyo, "Blame her! She's the one, who started it!"

Ukyo says, in a serious tone, "Hey, it's Miss 'I need glasses to see my pet pig was actually a human boy's' fault for being so incredibly stupid!"

Akane says, in a snarl, "Hey watch it!"

Ukyo says, with a nasty smirk, "Oh! Did I hit a nerve, you uncute tomboy!? And a very stupid one at that! Hotaru and I needed to see the bandana and fangs to see the difference! Everyone else in Nermia knew about it with the exception of you as well as the Kuno family! You'll probably fit in with them since you're just as stupid as them!"

Akane yells out, angrily, "Shut up!"

Ukyo says, with a sneer, "Or what!?" Just then, Akane roars out in anger as she manages to get past Keiko and punches Ukyo's face, knocking her down.

Jaden yells out, shocked, "Ukyo!"

Ukyo jumps onto her feet and she says, wiping the blood from her lip, "I should have known! You're still the violent gorilla like you always was! You haven't changed at all since the failed wedding!"

Akane yells out, angrily, "The same wedding that you tried to throw gunpowder filled okonomiyaki at me!"

Ukyo says, in a serious tone, "At least I've changed unlike you! You're still the same tomboy with a volcano sized temper and built like an ox!"

Akane yells out, angrily, "Take that back!"

Ukyo says, with a sneer, "Make me, Gorilla Girl!"

Akane yells out, throwing her right fist at Ukyo, "That's it!" Akane's fist hits Ukyo's left cheek, making her stagger a bit.

Ukyo yells out, angrily, "Okay Tendo, you've asked for it!" Ukyo punches Akane's gut, throwing her to the ground. Before Akane could get up, Ukyo lunges at her and the two girls have a nasty 'cat fight'.

Keiko yells out, strongly, "Hey knock it off, you two!" Keiko and Hikari try to separate the two girls with Keiko dragging Ukyo away while Hikari was holding Akane back from attacking Ukyo.

Akane yells out, strongly, "Let me go, Hikari! I'm going to teach this okonomiyaki freak a lesson that she's not going to forget!"

Ukyo says, with a snort, "You teach me a lesson! Not likely, Kitchen Destroyer!"

Akane yells out, in an angered snarl, "Anta! (Why you…?!)"

Inu no Taishou yells out, in a strong tone with a bit of annoyance, "Stop this at once!" Just then, everyone looks at Inu no Taishou and he says, in a serious tone, "All of us are supposed to be allies or have you forgotten about that! This isn't the time to settle your paltry arguments! Have you forgotten that my son and daughters are under the control of one of the madmen on this island!? We're supposed to be working together to bring them back as well as your friends and family, but here I am seeing you two fighting as if you're mere pups!" Soon enough, Keiko and Hikari let go of Akane and Ukyo and Ryoga Hibiki and Bearmon comes into the room.

Ryoga says, with a smile, "Good morning!"

Akane huffs, angrily, at Ryoga, still angry with him as she walks past him, knocking him away, yelling, "Out of my way, hentai!" Akane storms out of the cafeteria while Ryoga sighs solemnly. Ryoga thinks in his mind, solemnly, "She still hates me!"

Genki asks Kudamon, in a curious tone, "Kudamon, I want to keep an eye on both Kagome and Akane! With both Inuyasha and Ranma out to get them, we may need to be ready to save them!"

Davis tells Veemon, in a serious tone, "The same for you, Veemon! With Kagome acting the way that she is, she may get herself hurt."

Veemon says, with a nod, "Okay Davis!"

Kudamon says, with a nod, "Yeah! We'll make sure that they're safe!" Soon enough, Veemon and Kudamon dashes out of the cafeteria to the direction where Kagome and Akane walked to.

(With Kagome; sometime later)

Elsewhere on Academy Island, we find Kagome walking down the path to the school with an emotionless and solemn look on her face. Of course, she had an empty stomach, but her hunger was easily ignored when all she could think about is the disgusting images that came into her mind. For a year, she was wronging the wrong person. She believed lies of a stranger over the one that she loved, who was brainwashed by another sadistic psychopath, who happened to be the current owner of Duel Academy. The memories of her days under the control of the Society of Light as well as what happened earlier than that came into her mind, which haunted her to no end, and it made her sick to her stomach. Last year when Inuyasha came to her, she 'sat' him more than usual after he told her that Sartorius stole the Shikon Jewel, but she coldly rejected him with even harsh words and she even coldly and harshly rejected her friends, Yuka, Eri, Ayumi, Hojo, and especially Keiko. She was even surprised that Keiko even forgave her while didn't blame her for what she's done. Kagome couldn't even image what Inuyasha would say about 'Zera and Melody being right about her the whole time'. Of course, Kagome would agree with Zera and Melody, if Zera had taken Inuyasha the first chance that she saw him, after Inuyasha was freed from Kikyo's 50 year spell, Inuyasha wouldn't have been brainwashed and knowing Zera, she would have killed Kagome then. Kagome didn't want to imagine what would happen if she actually left Inuyasha to be forced upon by Kikyo and if that were to happen, then Zera and Melody would have killed two priestesses in a very slow and painful death, despite what Inuyasha would say.

When Kagome made it to the school, she thinks in her mind, solemnly, "I might as well get this over with! Besides, I never even belonged here in the first place!" Kagome walks pasted the doors to get inside the building and towards the path to Chancellor Sheppard's office.

(With Ryoga; in the early afternoon)

At the beach, we find Ryoga Hibiki and Bearmon sitting on the beach with Ryoga having multiple bruises and cuts from an angry Akane Tendo, when he tried to apologize, but all in the end was him getting punched, kicked, and malleted to the sky as well as a broken heart.

Ryoga thinks in his mind, solemnly, "Well, I can't say that I didn't deserve it…" Ryoga gains an angered scowl and he thinks in his mind, "This is all Mister Saotome's fault! If he hadn't knocked Ranma out, making him miss the fight that I challenged him to, then I wouldn't have been cursed with the pig! Maybe I'm better off dead!"

Just then, a familiar male voice calls out, "Excuse me, is this seat taken, son!" Ryoga and Bearmon turn to see Inu no Taishou and Korvo walking towards them.

Ryoga says, solemnly, "Not at all!" Soon enough, the two dog demons sat by Ryoga and Bearmon.

Bearmon says, in a plain tone, "Poor Ryoga is hurt because Akane wouldn't let him explain himself since she believed that he would blame Ranma as usual."

Ryoga says, in a solemn tone, "She has every right to think that!" Ryoga yells out, angrily, "This is all Genma Saotome's fault! It's because of him that I've seen Hell!"

Korvo says, with a sigh, "Yes, I've heard of plenty bad things about that human! He manipulates people to do what he wants! He uses their feelings against them to his will! He lies, cheats, and steals! Never thinking about how he hurts others with his actions! But what really gets to me is that he would be so uncaring that he'll use his own children for his own selfishness and greed by making them to do his dirty work! He cares about no one but himself."

Ryoga says, with an angered scowl, "That definitely sounds exactly like him! Before any of the craziness here on this island, I used to believe everything that goes wrong in my life is Ranma's fault. I never got his opinion on things in his life without attacking him first, but now I know it's all Genma Saotome's fault! It's always been Genma Saotome's fault! If it hadn't been for him then Ranma and Hotaru wouldn't have suffered like starvation, the Neko-ken with Ranma, selling them to potential fiancés or fiancées, knocking Hotaru out while leaving her in the forest, getting Ranma of us cursed because he was too stupid to admit that he couldn't read Chinese and getting me cursed with this stupid pig curse."

Inu no Taishou tells Ryoga, in a plain tone, "Ryoga, let ask you something! Did Genma Saotome drag you to that Jusenkyo place?"

Ryoga says, in a serious tone, "Actually, he didn't! Ranma accidently kicked me into that spring because he was chasing his dad, but I wouldn't have been there in the first place if it hadn't been for Mister Saotome knocking Ranma out and making him miss the fight!"

Inu no Taishou asks, curiously, "What started the fight?"

Ryoga says, in a serious tone, "It started with a bread feud back in middle school! Ranma and Hotaru, who I believed was a boy at first, kept taking bread from my grasp during lunch and I was sick of it, so I challenged Ranma to a fight and then I would fight Hotaru. However, when I found out that Hotaru was a girl, I forfeited the fight since Hotaru is a girl. I couldn't fight her since it was supposed to be a man-to-man promise so it was invalid for Hotaru's case. However whenever Hotaru attacks Akane for any reason, I'd jump in to protect her from Hotaru's brutal attacks, but she'll use my curse against me to get me out of the way."

Just then, a familiar male voice calls out, "Well, well, what do we have here!?" Ryoga, Inu no Taishou, Korvo, and Bearmon jumps to their feet as they see Inuyasha and his family walking towards them.

Inu no Taishou says, surprised, "Izayoi…!"

Izayoi says, with a dark cold loving smile, "Yes, beloved! It's me!"

Ryoga yells out, strongly, "What do you guys want?!"

Melody says, with a dark cold sly smile, "Stay out of this, P-chan! We want our old man and the head of this traitorous jackass!"

Holly says, in a dark cold serious tone, "Inuyasha and Melody told us the whole story, Korvo!"

Korvo says, in a pleading tone, "You guys, you're being used by this horrible man!"

Inu no Taishou says, in a serious tone, "Indeed! All of you are being brainwashed by Dartz!"

Izayoi says, in a dark cold serious tone, "Dear, it's thanks to Master Dartz that I've been given a new chance to live and make up for the lost time that King Emma and his men stole from me!"

Inuyasha says, in a dark cold serious tone, "Mom's right, Pop! That asshole tried to kill both Megumi and Holly so there wouldn't be a 'Chosen Hanyou' around to kick his overgrown ass!"

Holly says, pointing at Korvo, "Father, how could you side with that vermin after what he's done to us and Zera! Master Dartz told us recently that Zera and Kenochi didn't mean to have Megumi and me almost killed! We just want us to be a family again with the exception of a certain half-demon hating jackass of an older half-brother that we know!"

Megumi says, with a dark cold sly smile, "Speak of the devil!" Just then, Sesshomaru, Zera, Kenochi, and NekitaKariba came from the trees with Rin and Jaken coming from the bushes along with Keiko, Hikari, Kira, Davis, and TK as well as their Digimon partners.

Kenochi yells out, seriously, "Stay away from them!"

Inuyasha tells his brother, in a dark cold serious tone, "I'm sorry, Kenochi, but if you're not going to anything with Korvo, then we'd have to do it for you!"

Zera says, lowly, "Go ahead! I couldn't careless!"

Korvo winches at Zera's harsh words and Keiko says, seriously, "What do you want!?"

Megumi yells out, in a dark cold nasty tone, "Stay out of this, Yukimura! This is a family matter!"

Inuyasha says, in a dark cold serious tone, "Meaning that we only want the heads of Sesshomaru, Korvo, and the backstabbing cat!"

NekitaKariba yells out, shocked, "What!?"

Megumi says, in a dark cold serious tone, "That's right, traitor! Inuyasha and Melody told us everything on how and that rotten felines chased them out of the village and you coldly shunning them!"

NekitaKariba says, pleadingly, "Megumi, I can explain…!"

Melody yells out, in a dark cold strong tone, "Save it!" Soon enough, Inuyasha and his sisters transform into their Ancient Egypt forms.

Kasa says, with an evil sly smile, "And just in case we don't get interrupted by the peanut gallery!" Just then, Kasa's Orichalcos stone glows blinding our heroes and heroines and the eerie green light soon after fades away leaving Ryoga, Keiko, Hikari, Kira, Davis, and TK along with their Digimon partners behind.

TK yells out, surprised, "Where are they!?"

Just then, a familiar male voice calls out, in a dark cold serious tone, "Don't worry, Takashi! They've gone off to settle their family feud and by the end of the day, we'll be getting the souls of Sesshomaru, Korvo, and NekitaKariba. I'm only here to take the soul of Ryoga Hibiki!" Just then, everyone turn to see Daisuke walking towards them.

TK says, in a serious tone, "It's one of Ranma's friends!"

Daisuke says, with a dark cold sly smile, "That's right, Takashi, and like a real friend, I'm going to eliminate one of his enemies to save him the trouble." Daisuke says, pointing at Ryoga, "Hibiki, your soul will be nice nourishment for the Great Beast!"

Davis yells out, strongly, "No way! Duel me!"

Daisuke says, in a dark cold snort, "No way! I said Hibiki is dueling me! You're not worth my time!"

Davis says, in a snarl, "Temee…! (Why you…?)"

Ryoga says, taking out an Academy Duel Disk, "Davis-san, Daisuke is after me and I knew that this day will come!" Ryoga places the duel disk onto his left wrist and he calls out, seriously, "You've got your duel!"

Daisuke says, with an evil smile, "And we've got my next victim!" Just then, Daisuke and Ryoga activates their Duel Disks and their life points meter reaches 8000 life points as they drew five cards from their decks.

"Duel!" Ryoga and Daisuke yell out in unison.

(Within the mountainous regions of Japan; A brief time soon after)

Somewhere within the mountainous regions of the Japanese mainland, we find the Orichalcos controlled Izayoi and her children along with NekitaKariba, Korvo, Inu no Taishou and his children along with Rin and Jaken in the area at the time looking around as a huge transparent barrier dome was around the region.

Korvo says, in a shocked tone, "Where are we!?"

Taigoku says, with an evil sly smile, "We thought that it would be a good idea to get away from the distractions namely the bothersome pests of the Urameshi sisters, Yukimura and her brother as well as Motomiya and Takashi. There's also a barrier to prevent anyone else from entering through Instant Transmission other than anyone with dog demon blood. I just want my old man to see how weak his oldest son is!"

Jaken yells at Taigoku, angrily, "You insolent pup! How dare you insult my lord, Lord Sesshomaru!? You haven't beaten him yet!"

Sesshomaru says, stepping up, "Jaken, be quiet! Inuyasha has challenged me and I accept it!"

Kasa says, with an evil smile, "Hold it! Inuyasha isn't the only one, who you're fighting! You seem to love putting us down, just because we're hanyous, so let's just see how you fair when you're fighting two hanyous!"

NekitaKariba yells out, seriously, "But two against one isn't fair!"

Sestuna says, with a dark cold nasty tone, "Oh shut up, cat! You're opponent is going to be me as well as Megumi and my mother will be fighting that other traitor! Let's see how he fights a human and a half-demon with just one arm!"

Kenochi says, plainly, "Whoa! Talk about a disadvantage!"

Zera says, with a snort, "Needless to say that someone is going to die, but I refuse to allow Milo to die!" Zera yells out, seriously, "You four, stop this fight! I couldn't careless with Korvo, Sesshomaru pretty much asked for this to happen, but Milo is the only one that I don't want fighting!"

Taigoku says, in a dark cold serious tone, "Zera, she betrayed us! She and her rotten cat friends attacked us!"

NekitaKariba says, in a pleading tone, "Inuyasha, I never meant for this to happen! If you'd just let me explain…!"

Taigoku yells out, in a dark cold nasty tone, "Save it, kitty! I'm tired of your lies!"

Sesshomaru tells NekitaKariba, in a serious tone, "As long as Inuyasha and his sisters are under the control of Dartz, there's no way of reaching to them. The only way for them to listen is to beat them within an itch of their lives!"

Taigoku says, drawing his sword, "We'll just see who beats who, asshole!"

"Big Bang Eternal Engage!"

"Big Bang Power Engage!"

"Asteroid Power Engage!"

"Comet Power Engage!"

Just then, the Orichalcos controlled half-dog demons transforms from their Ancient Egypt forms to their Eternal and Divine Warrior forms

Divine Comet says, with an evil sly smile, "There's so many ways to defeat a pompous asshole and I think that I've found the perfect way!" Divine Comet holds her right hand out as something materializes in her hand and that weapon is So'unga.

Jaken, Rin, Inu no Taishou and his demon children with the exception of Sesshomaru, whose eyes widened at it, and Inu no Taishou yells out, shocked, "That's So'unga!"

Divine Comet says, with a dark cold smile, "That's right, daddy! With my Millennium Item, I can materialize a copy of any weapon as long as I know full well of the original weapon's powers, strengths, and weaknesses like I do with the So'unga! Plus, I can use the Dragon Twister as well and it's just as deadly as the original So'unga's power! Also, that rotten demon spirit isn't in my So'unga!"

Sesshomaru says, in a serious tone, "Don't think that a copy of one of father's swords is going to defeat me, Holly."

Divine Comet says, with a dark cold sly smile, "Who said anything about duplicating only one of father's swords?" Just then, an exact copy of Sesshomaru's Tokijin appears in Divine Comet's left hand.

Rin yells out, shocked, "Lord Sesshomaru's weapon!"

Divine Comet says, with an evil smile, "It looks like someone is going to a double nasty Dragon blast!"

Sesshomaru says, in a plain tone, "You presume too much, baby sister." Sesshomaru tells Jaken, drawing his Tokijin, "Jaken, take Rin a safe distance into the bushes and trees. I'm going to unleash my power."

Eternal Big Bang asks, perplexed, "What do you mean?"

Jaken says, with a fearful tone, "Yes…Yes, Lord Sesshomaru!" Immediately, Jaken grabs Rin's left hand and he tells her, "Rin, we must go immediately!"

Rin asks Jaken, "By why Master Jaken?"

Jaken tells Rin, with a stern tone, "Young lady, there are some things that you don't question your elders on."

Rin says, with a nod, "Yes, Master Jaken."

Jaken says, with a nod, "Good girl. Come." Immediately, Jaken runs off to the bushes with Rin while Sesshomaru's body starts to glow with not red demonic energy, but golden Sacred Energy!

Eternal Big Bang says, with a dark cold plain tone, "I see that you've managed to gain Sacred Energy, Sesshomaru."

Sesshomaru says, with a plain tone, "Indeed, little brother. This is the true core of my power that I have contained for so long. Personally, I felt no need to unleash on the likes of you, Inuyasha, as well as Holly. However, if I am to show how powerful I truly am, I must display my true power to you and our father." Just then the aura around Sesshomaru causes a strong wind that causes Rin to hold on to Jaken. Sesshomaru says, with a plain tone, "You should be careful. With my Sacred Energy, my power is in the Super-S class."

Divine Comet yells out, stunned, "You?! A Super-S class?!"

Sesshomaru says, with a plain tone, "Indeed. I have moved beyond the need for Demon Energy, but the power of Sacred Energy is at a higher level that I do not want to cause unnecessary damage during my battles. To show my father that I am the stronger child, I need my full power. You two have great power, but the training to get this power makes mine greater."

Back with Divine Big Bang and NekitaKariba, NekitaKariba calls out to Divine Big Bang, pleadingly, "Melody, please! I don't want to fight with you!"

Divine Big Bang says, in a dark cold serious tone, "Too bad, cat! You're the one, who started this, years ago!"

Zera and Kenochi rush to NekitaKariba's side with their speed and Kenochi calls out to Divine Big Bang, "Melody, stop! You're going to kill an innocent person!"

Divine Big Bang yells out, in a dark cold serious tone, "Get out of my way, Kenochi! I don't want to kill you or Zera, but if you two insist in getting in my way! I won't show you any mercy!"

Zera says, with a sigh, "I didn't want for this to happen, but you left me with no choice, little sister." Soon enough, Zera's body starts to glow with her own golden Sacred Energy as well as Kenochi glowing with Sacred Energy to battle their younger sister.

Inu no Taishou yells out, shocked, "Zera and Kenochi too!" Inu no Taishou thinks in his mind, seriously, "My children have grown incredibly strong since I've seen them last! I just hope that it's enough to save their younger half-brother and sisters!"

Korvo thinks in his mind, seriously, "Sesshomaru, Zera, and Kenochi have grown incredibly strong! When this whole mess is over, I'm going to finally settle things with Zera and hopefully things will go where they were before! Inuyasha, Melody, I'm so sorry! I never meant for any of this to happen, but I will atone for what I've done!"

(Back at Academy Island; on the meanwhile)

Now, we are back on Academy Island, where we go to Chancellor Sheppard's office where we find Chancellor Sheppard and Kagome Higurashi facing each other while Sheppard was in his desk. Chancellor Sheppard was surprised to hear that Kagome was dropping out of the Academy.

Chancellor Sheppard says, surprised, "Kagome, you can't be serious!"

Kagome says, in a plain tone, "Chancellor, it wouldn't look go for the school's rep, if you allow a cheater like me in Obelisk Blue or even in this school!"

Just then, a familiar female voice calls out, seriously, "Kagome, you can't drop out!" Just then, Kagome's school friends burst in and Eri tells Kagome, seriously, "Kagome, you can't be serious!"

Kagome says, in a serious tone, "I couldn't be even more serious, Eri! I used the Light of Destruction's power, rather than my own skills! As far as I'm concerned, I've damaged Duel Academy's rep by being here! I didn't earn being here in the first place!"

Ayumi says, seriously, "Then, we'll just have to help you earn your way here!"

Kagome says, seriously, "Ayumi, I can't! I can't stay here any longer! I've caused enough damage with me staying here! I'll only cause more than enough damage, by staying here!" Kagome then feels a huge wave of sadness and guilt coming to her and she says, while tears are coming down her eyes, "I don't think that I can stay here any longer! I'll only cause more grief!"

Hojo tells Kagome, seriously, "Well, if you think that you've cause damage, then fix it!"

Kagome says, seriously with tears coming down her eyes, "I can't! That would mean owning up to what I've done! Even though, you guys don't blame me, what's happening to the school! Dartz and the Orichalcos taking it over and the Society of Light made because of me!"

Ayumi yells out to Kagome, seriously, "Will you listen to yourself!? It sounds as if you're giving up on yourself! If you feel that you blame yourself for everything that's happening, then try to fix it! We'll find a way for you to make sure that you actually earn to stay here!"

Kagome says, solemnly, "How can you guys easily forgive me after what I've done!? I believed a tape recorder over you guys and Keiko! When I found out that Hojo was trying to force himself on me, I should have known something was up right from the get go! Also, when I saw Inuyasha kissing Kikyo, I should have known that something was up as well!"

Eri says, with a kind smile, "We're your friends, Kagome! We won't hold a grudge against you for what happened!"

Hojo says, with a smile, "Yeah and if Inuyasha loves you, then he'd forgive you easily!"

Yuka says, in a snort, "Though, it's going to be tough getting Zera to change her mind about allowing Inuyasha to continue his relationship with you with that icy cold heart of hers."

Ayumi yells at Yuka, annoyed, "Not helping!" Ayumi says, lowly, "Though, you do have a point there about Zera never allowing Kagome anywhere near her brother."

Eri says, in a plain tone, "It makes you wonder how Korvo ever saw in her in the first place."

Ayumi says, in a serious tone, "We'll worry about that later, but right now, we're going back to the others and Kagome is going to forget about dropping out of Duel Academy, we're not letting that ever happening."

Kagome says, plainly, "You don't have to…!" Soon enough, Kagome was pulled by the arms by Eri and Yuka out the door with Hojo and Ayumi following them.

As they left, Chancellor Sheppard says, with a relieved sigh, "That was close! I hope that Kagome's friends can snap her out of her depression."

(Back at the beach; on the meanwhile)

Now, we are back on the beach as Daisuke and Ryoga's duel is about to commence in earnest.

Starting Scores:

Daisuke: 8000

Ryoga: 8000

Daisuke yells out, drawing a card, "I'll start this duel off!" Daisuke says, putting a card on his duel disk, "I summon Z-Metal Tank in defense mode!" Z-Metal Tank (1500/1300) appears on the field in defense mode and Daisuke says, putting three cards in the spell/trap slot, "Finally, I'll place three face-downs and end my turn!"

Ryoga yells out, drawing a card, "It's my turn!" Ryoga says, putting a card on his duel disk, "First, I'll summon Marauding Captain in attack mode!" Immediately, Marauding Captain (1200/400) comes to the field in attack mode and Ryoga says, putting another card on his duel disk, "Now, I'll activate my captain's ability! I can summon another monster with four stars or less from my hand when he's normal summoned and I choose my Mystic Swordsman level four!" Beside Marauding Captain, Mystic Swordsman LV4 (1900/1600) appears on the field in attack mode. Ryoga says, putting a card into the spell/trap slot, "Next, I'll activate the Allied Forces! It gives my warriors two hundred attack points for every warrior I have and since I have two warriors, it gives my two monsters a four hundred power boost!" Marauding Captain's stats increase from 1200/400 to 1600/400 as well as Mystic Swordsman LV4's stats increase from 1900/1600 to 2300/1600 and Ryoga yells out, strongly, "Mystic Swordsman, attack!" Mystic Swordsman LV4 charges after Z-Metal Tank, slashes it in half, destroying it, and since it was in defense mode, Daisuke doesn't lose any life points.

Daisuke says, pressing a button on his duel disk, "I activate my Soul Rope trap card!" One of Daisuke's face-down cards was Soul Rope and Daisuke says, in a dark cold serious tone, "At the cost of a thousand life points, I can summon a monster from my deck when one is destroyed!" A card comes out of Daisuke's deck and Daisuke says, taking the card and putting it on his duel disk, "And I'll summon Y-Dragon Head!" Soon after, Y-Dragon Head (1500/1600) comes to the field in defense mode and Daisuke's life-points were decreased by 1000 points, thanks to his own trap card.

Ryoga says, putting a card into the spell/trap slot, "And I'll place a face-down card and end my turn!" Ryoga says, putting a card on his duel disk, "Since it's the end of my turn, I can turn my Mystic Swordsman from level four to level six!" Mystic Swordsman LV4 glows blue and Mystic Swordsman LV6 (2300/1700-2700/1700) appears in his place on the field in attack mode.

Current Score:

Daisuke: 7000

Ryoga: 8000

Daisuke says, drawing his card, "That won't save you!" Daisuke says, with an evil sly smile as his Field Spell card slot opens, "Now, prepare to enter your worst nightmare, P-chan! The Seal of Orichalcos!"

Ryoga and the rest of our heroes and heroines gasp in shock and TK yells out, horrified, "Oh no…!" After Daisuke puts the cards into the Field Spell slot and it closes up, there is a bright sinister green light as the Seal of Orichalcos surrounds the two duelists while the mark of the Orichalcos appears on Daisuke's forehead with red in his eyes.

Daisuke yells out, in a dark cold strong tone, "Now Y-Dragon Head, feel the power of the Orichalcos!" Y-Dragon Head gains the mark of the Orichalcos on its forehead and red glowing eyes as its stats increase from 1500/1600 to 2000/1600! Daisuke says, pressing a button on his duel disk, "Next, I'll activate my face-down card, Roll Out!" Daisuke's final face-down card is Roll Out and Daisuke says, in a dark cold serious tone, "Now, I can summon a union type monster from my graveyard and I choose Z-Metal Tank!" Soon enough, Z-Metal Tank (1500/1300-2000/1300) comes to the field by Y-Dragon Head with the mark of the Orichalcos on its trunk and its mechanical eye glows red. Daisuke says, putting a card on his duel disk, "Then, I normal summon X-Head Cannon!" X-Head Cannon (1800/1500-2300/1500) appears on the field with the mark of the Orichalcos on its forehead and its mechanical eyes glow red. Daisuke yells out, with a dark cold serious tone, "And now, I remove them from play in order to combine them and form XYZ-Dragon Cannon!" Daisuke's monsters fly into the sky and combine themselves into XYZ-Dragon Cannon (2800/2600-3300/2600) in attack mode with the mark of the Orichalcos on the Y-Dragon Head part of its body. Daisuke says, discarding his last two cards from his hand, "And thanks to his special ability, I can discard two cards to obliterate your two monsters!" XYZ-Dragon Cannon fires two shots at Ryoga's monsters, destroying them, leaving Ryoga open and Daisuke yells out, in a dark cold strong tone, "Dragon Cannon, direct attack! Cannon Fire Storm!" XYZ-Dragon Cannon fires its blasts and Ryoga yells out shocked as they hit him hard.

Davis yells out, shocked, "Ryoga!"

Ryoga groans as the smoke clears and his life-points were dropped by 3300 points, in one shot and Daisuke says, with a dark cold sly smile, "I'll end my turn!"

Current Score:

Daisuke: 7000

Ryoga: 4700

Ryoga yells out, drawing his card, "Which brings it back to me!" Ryoga says, putting a card into the spell/trap slot, "First, I'll activate Pot of Greed! This allows me to draw two cards from my deck!" Ryoga draws two cards from his deck and he says, putting another card into the spell/trap slot, "Next, I'll activate Reinforcement of the Army! This allows me to bring a level four or below Warrior-type monster from my deck!" Just then, a card comes out of Ryoga's deck and he says, taking the card and putting it on his duel disk, "And I'll summon Gearfried the Iron Knight!" Immediately, Gearfried the Iron Knight (1800/1600-2000/1600) appears on the field in attack mode and Ryoga says, putting a card into the spell/trap slot, "Now, I play my Release Restraint spell card! Now, I can sacrifice my Gearfried to summon his true form!" A card comes out of Ryoga's deck, he puts it on his duel disk, Gearfried roars as his armor explodes, and out of the dust and smoke, Gearfried the Swordmaster (2600/2200-2800/2200) comes to the field in attack mode. Ryoga says, pressing a button on his duel disk, "Then, I activate my face-down card, Call of the Haunted!" Ryoga's face-down card is Call of the Haunted and Ryoga says, in a serious tone, "Now, I can summon back Mystic Swordsman level six!" Soon after, Mystic Swordsman LV6 (2300/1700-2700/1700) returns to the field in attack mode. Ryoga says, putting a card into the spell/trap slot, "And then, I activate my Fusion Sword Murasume Blade spell card! Now, this gives Gearfried eight hundred extra attack points!" Fusion Sword Murasume Blade appears in Gearfried's hands and his stats rise from 2800/2200 to 3600/2200! Ryoga says, with a smile, "And thanks to Gearfried's ability, whenever he's equipped with an equip card, I can destroy one monster on the field!" Daisuke gasps as Gearfried swings his sword, XYZ-Dragon Cannon vanishes as it is destroyed, and Ryoga calls out, "Now Gearfried and Mystic Swordsman, attack Daisuke directly!" Gearfried and Mystic Swordsman LV6 give out loud battle cries, they swing their weapon, slash Daisuke's chest, causing him to scream out in shock as his life points were dropped by 6500 life-points.

Kira yells out, happily, "Alright Ryoga!"

Ryoga says, in a plain tone, "I'll end my turn!"

Daisuke says, in a dark cold serious tone while drawing his card, "You'll pay for that!" Daisuke says, sending a card into the spell/trap slot, "First, I play Card of Sanctity! This allows us to draw until we're holding six cards in our hands!" Daisuke and Ryoga draw until they were holding six cards in their hands, Daisuke sends one card into the spell/trap slot and he says, "Next, I'll play Graceful Charity! Now, I can pick up three new cards as long as I discard two!" Daisuke draws three cards, discards two, and he says, in a dark cold plain tone while sending another card into the spell/trap slot, "I play my Different Dimension Hanger!" Then, a large violet hole above Daisuke and he says, with a dark cold serious tone, "So what!? I now remove three Union monsters from play and when I summon a monster that they can be combined with, I can return them to the field!" Daisuke then takes out a second Y-Dragon Head (1500/1600), a second Z-Metal Tank (1500/1300), and W-Wing Catapult (1300/1500) monster cards and puts them in his pocket. Daisuke says, putting one card on his duel disk, "And then I play my X-Head Cannon in attack mode!" Just then X-Head Cannon (1800/1500-2300/1500) appears on the field in attack mode with the mark of the Orichalcos on its forehead and its eyes glow red. Daisuke says, with a dark cold serious tone while taking out two cards from his pocket, "And now, I can call out my Y-Dragon Head and Z-Metal Tank as well!" Just then Y-Dragon Head (1500/1600-2000/1600) and Z-Metal Tank (1500/1300-2000/1300) come out of the hole in the sky and onto the field in attack mode with marks of the Orichalcos on their foreheads and their eyes glowing red. Daisuke says, sending a card into the spell/trap, "Now, I play Monster Reborn to back my V-Tiger Jet, which was one of the cards that I've discarded with Graceful Charity!" Just then, V-Tiger Jet (1600/1800-2100/1800) appears on the field in attack mode with the mark of the Orichalcos and its eyes glow red. Daisuke then yells out, with a dark cold serious tone, "And with him on the field, my W-Wing Catapult comes back!" Out of the hole above Daisuke, W-Wing Catapult (1300/1500-1800/1500) comes to the field in attack mode with the mark of the Orichalcos appearing on its forehead as well as the red glow in its eyes. Daisuke yells out, with a dark cold serious tone, "I remove them from play to summon another VW-Tiger Catapult in attack mode!" The two monsters to combine into another VW-Tiger Catapult (2000/2100-2500/2100) in attack mode with a mark of the Orichalcos and its eyes, glowing red.

Daisuke's monsters fly into the sky and combine themselves into XYZ-Dragon Cannon (2800/2600-3300/2600) in attack mode with the mark of the Orichalcos on the Y-Dragon Head part of its body. Daisuke yells out, with a dark cold strong tone, "And now, I remove them from play to bring out my ultimate V to Z Dragon Catapult Cannon!" The two monster flies up into the sky as Daisuke takes the cards and puts them in his pocket while putting a Fusion monster card from his Extra deck on her duel disk causing the two monsters to combine to form VWXYZ Dragon Catapult Cannon (3000/2800-3500/2800) in attack mode with the mark of the Orichalcos, appearing on its forehead and its eyes glows red. Daisuke says, with a dark cold serious tone, "Now, I play his ability and remove one of your cards from play and I choose your swordsman!" Soon after, Ryoga gasps as his Gearfried the Swordmaster vanishes as he is removed from play and Mystic Swordsman LV6's stats were lowered to 2600/1700. Daisuke yells out, strongly, "Now Dragon Catapult Cannon, attack!" Dragon Catapult Cannon fires two huge blasts at Mystic Swordsman LV6, destroying them in a huge explosion and Ryoga screams out in shock as he loses 900 life points. Daisuke says, with a dark cold sly smile while sending card into his spell/trap slot, "And I'll end my turn!"

Current Score:

Daisuke: 500

Ryoga: 3800

Ryoga yells out, drawing his card, "My turn! Draw!" Ryoga looks at the card that he drew and he yells out, excitedly, "Alright!" Ryoga puts one card in the spell/trap slots and calls out, "First, I play Polymerization!" Ryoga discards his Queen Knight (1500/1600), King's Knight (1600/1400), and Jack's Knight (1900/1000) monster cards in his hand and yells out, "Now, I fuse my King's Knight, my Jack's Knight, and my Queen's Knight to summon Arcana Knight Joker!" The three named monsters appear on the field with Queen's Knight, they go into a fusion vortex, and out of the fusion vortex, Arcana Force Joker (3800/2500), a humanoid knight monster, green eyes, dark violet hair, and wearing black, golden, and silver clothing and armor similar in design to Queen's, King's, and Jack's Knights, with a silver shield with a golden cross in the center attached to his left wrist, and a sword with a golden and black hilt with a silver-white blade, comes to the field in attack mode while a pink line attached Jordan to his new monster.

Daisuke yells out, in a dark cold nasty tone, "Big deal! I'll still be in the duel!"

Ryoga says, putting a card into the spell/trap slot, "Don't be so sure! My Riryoku spell card! This card cuts your Dragon Catapult Cannon's strength in half while increase my Arcana Force Joker's strength by the same amount for this turn!" Dragon Catapult Cannon's stats go down from 3500/2800 to 1750/3800 while Flame Emperor's stats increase from 3800/2500 to 5550/1600! Ryoga yells out, strongly, "Now, Arcana Force Joker, attack now!" Arcana Force Joker moves in to attack Dragon Catapult Cannon.

Daisuke pushes a button on his duel disk and calls out, darkly and coldly, "Don't think so, dork! I play my trap! Magic Cylinder!" Daisuke's face-down card is revealed to be a Magic Cylinder trap card and Daisuke says, with a dark cold sly grin, "Sorry, dweeb, but your monster is stopped and you take damage equal to his attack points.

Ryoga discards a card in his hand, a Mirror Force trap card, and yells out, "Wrong! I play my Joker's ability! When he is targeted by an opponent's spell, trap, or monster card effect, I discard the same kind of card from my hand and your card is negated! And I just discarded my Mirror Force, so, your card is useless!" Daisuke gasps as his cylinders are shattered, Arcana Force Joker destroys Dragon Catapult Cannon, and Daisuke screams in shock as he loses 3800 life-points, ending the duel immediately.

Final Score:

Daisuke: 0

Ryoga: 3800

When the duel ended, the final images disappear and the Seal of Orichalcos encompasses Daisuke and he screams out as his soul is ripped through his body.

Daisuke yells out, in a dark cold strong tone with an evil smile, "THIS IT! I'LL FINALLY BE OF SOME USE TO MASTER DARTZ AND THE GREAT BEAST!!" Soon after, the seal vanishes from the ground and the Seal of Orichalcos card appears on the field with a picture of Daisuke inside of it.

TK says, in a plain tone, "And that's that! We'll get him back!"

Just then, a familiar male voice calls out, "Good job, Mister Hibiki!" Everyone whip their heads to see Dartz walking towards them with a suitcase of sorts.

Ryoga yells out, angrily, "Kisama! (You!)"

Davis yells out, nastily, "What do you want, creep!?"

Dartz says, with an evil sly smile, "Now, now, Mister Motomiya! Is that anyway to speak to the owner of the school that you're attending!? By the way, are you having fun failing to take away the stocks at the expense of your computers!? I do have to thank Light for that!"

Davis says, in a snarl, "Temee…!"

Hikari asks, with a serious glare, "What do you want, Dartz!?"

Dartz says, with a sinister smile, "I'm here to give Mister Hibiki his reward for a job well done."

Ryoga yells at Dartz, nastily, "I'm not interested on what you have to give me, jerk!"

Dartz says, opening up his suitcase, "I think that you'd be interested in this!" Dartz takes out something from the suitcase and throws it at Ryoga for him to catch it. Ryoga looks at the object which appears to be a bar of soap.

TK says, perplexed, "A bar of soap!"

Dartz says, with an evil sly smile, "It's not just any bar of soap, Mister Takashi! It's similar to the water-proof soap that Mister Hibiki had in one time!"

Ryoga yells out, nastily, "That only worked temporary, you creep!"

Dartz says, with an evil smile, "It's the same substance used for Ranma Saotome's and Hotaru Saotome's cursed forms."

Ryoga gasps in shock and he says, surprised, "It is!"

Keiko tells Ryoga, in a serious tone, "I wouldn't trust this snake if I were you, Ryoga!"

Hikari says, in a serious tone, "Yeah! It could be one of his tricks!"

Dartz says, with an evil smile, "I assure you that it's not a trick! Of course, if you use this then you'll have to agree to a martial arts match with Ranma Saotome. I know you have a nasty sense of direction, but wait until the next morning when you find Ranma and follow him. Until then, my friends!" Dartz walks away from the group with interested looks at his retreating form.

Kira tells Ryoga, in a serious tone, "If I were you, Ryoga, I'd throw that soap away!"

TK says, in a serious tone, "Yeah! This is Dartz we're talking about!"

Ryoga says, in a plain tone, "I know, but this may be a chance of a lifetime to finally get rid of this curse once and for all, but it would be me, who calls the shots!"

Keiko says, in a serious tone, "I think that it'll be best if we could take this soap to Koenma!"

Davis says, in a serious tone, "What about Inuyasha's dad and the others that went with the Orichalcos!?"

Hikari says, in a serious tone, "We'll have to search for them! Who knows what's happening to them!? According to Kagome's Feudal Era friends, Inuyasha and Melody have a huge bone to pick with their older half-brother, Sesshomaru! Melody hates Sesshomaru more than she hates Kagome!"

Kira yells out, seriously, "We have to find them!"

TK carries Daisuke's soulless form onto his shoulders and he says, "I'll carry Ranma's friend to the infirmary!"

Davis says, with a smile, "Catch you later, TI!" Soon enough, the group went on their separate ways with TK and Patamon going the direction to the school infirmary, carrying Daisuke's body.

(Return to the mountainous region of Japan; sometime later)

Back at the mountainous region of Japan, we find Sesshomaru clashing swords with his Orichalcos controlled younger half-brother and incoming sword attack by Divine Comet was heading his way, but Sesshomaru quickly dodges using his new super-speed. On the meanwhile, Divine Asteroid kicks Korvo's chest, breaking a rib throwing him away hard in the air and then Izayoi appears in the air and kicks him hard, throwing him to the ground, making a nasty thud on the ground.

Divine Asteroid says, with a dark cold sly grin, "This is too easy! I just wish that you had both arms to it could be a bit more challenge!"

Izayoi says, with an evil sly smile, "It looks like he's going to lose more than just an arm in this fight!" Korvo slowly stands on his feet and Divine Asteroid and Izayoi charge towards him while Divine Big Bang was battling her elder half-siblings and her former best friend with two dozen Divine Big Bang Shadow Clones.

"Demon Bomb!"

Zera fires a huge dark violet planet shaped blast at many of her younger half-demon sister's Shadow Clones, destroying some of them while Kenochi slashing some of them with his version of Inuyasha's Iron Reaver Soul Stealer, destroying them. On the meanwhile, NekitaKariba was engaging Divine Big Bang in a weapon clash with her tiger headed sai's and Divine Big Bang's sword and was losing badly.

NekitaKariba yells out, pleadingly, "I don't want to hurt you!"

Divine Big Bang yells out, in a dark cold nasty tone, "Too late, wench! You already have!" Divine Big Bang kicks her former best friend hard in the stomach, breaking a rib, throwing her to the ground and Divine Big Bang prepares for her attack.

"Orichalcos Big Bang Kamehameha!"

Divine Big Bang fires her huge blast at NekitaKariba, which was too quick for her to dodge as it hits her, causing her to scream out in pain and agony as she was thrown away and hits the ground.

Kenochi yells out, horrified, "Milo!" Just then, Kenochi was bashed hard by his younger half-sister's Shadow Clones to the ground. On the meanwhile, Sesshomaru was still fighting off his younger half-brother and half-sister with his sword, however, unlike like before, Sesshomaru is finding fighting Eternal Big Bang and Divine Comet extremely difficult.

Sesshomaru yells out, strongly, "It's time to put you two in your places!"

"Dragon Strike!"

Sesshomaru fires his sword blast which looks like a blue Asian like blast at Eternal Big Bang and Divine Comet.

Eternal Big Bang says, with a dark cold sly grin, "I was waiting for that, Sesshomaru! Orichalcos Millennium Backslash Hurricane!" Eternal Big Bang gives a swing of his golden and green Tetsusaiga, creating a whirlwind of demonic, Orichalcos, and Millennium Item energy. It entraps the Sesshomaru's attack and sends it back in a more powerful whirlwind.

Sesshomaru yells out, strongly, "Don't think that this attack will work, Inuyasha! It didn't before!"

Divine Comet says, with a dark cold sly grin, "That's before he didn't have me and this sword, jerk!" Just then, two Asian dragons, one dark violet and dark blue, appear around Divine Comet.

"Orichalcos Dragon Twister Strike!"

Divine Comet gives swings of her own So'unga and Tokijin to create an orb of demonic energy with dark and blue winds surrounding it and launching it right at her brother's attack, combining it, which makes it more powerful and fast enough, that Sesshomaru couldn't react in time as it hits him hard, causing a huge explosion, Tokijin's blade broken into pieces, and Sesshomaru's howls of pain and agony as he's thrown to the ground hard.

Inu no Taishou yells out, shocked, "Sesshomaru!"

Jaken and Rin yell out in unison, horrified, "Lord Sesshomaru!" As the smoke clears out, Sesshomaru with multiple burn marks on his face and clothes and his armor, destroyed, is seen on his knees in his hand a broken Tokijin.

Jaken yells out, shocked, "Oh my! Lord Sesshomaru's sword! It's destroyed!"

Eternal Big Bang and Divine Comet laugh at their older half-brother's predicament and Divine Comet says, with a dark cold sly smile, "You know, Sesshomaru, I really hate to be you at the moment!"

Eternal Big Bang says, with a dark cold sly grin, "Yeah no joke, sis! Have your own sword which was supposed to be rivaling my Tetsusaiga broken right in front of your eyes!? And I bet it also hurts even more that you'll be killed by two lowly 'half-breeds' at the moment!"

Sesshomaru throws the broken sword away and slowly stands on his feet while minding his wounds as he sees his younger half-brother and sister walking towards them with murderous intent. Sesshomaru says, in an angered snarl, "Don't think that the two of you will kill this Sesshomaru yet!" Sesshomaru's body then glows red as he slowly transforms to his huge dog demon form.

Eternal Big Bang says, with a dark cold sly grin, "That's it! You're using that form to help!"

Divine Comet says, with a dark cold sly sneer, "Not much, Sesshomaru! You'll still going to die! However, we'll make sport of you so your death will be slow and painless!" Sesshomaru charges at the two Orichalcos controlled dog hanyous, but they dodge his attack.

Eternal Big Bang says, with a dark cold sly smile, "That was it! This is too easy!"

"Orichalcos Millennium Wind Scar!"

Sesshomaru is slammed by a terrific force of wind, Orichalcos, and demonic energy that sends him into a pillar of rocks, knocking all of them down.

Rin yells out, horrified, "Lord Sesshomaru!"

Jaken yells out, stunned, "This can't be happening! Those miserable half-breeds are making sport of Lord Sesshomaru!" On the meanwhile, Sesshomaru was lying on the ground like a dog would do when it's injured as he looks to see his Orichalcos controlled younger half-brother walking towards him and stop at his tail.

Sesshomaru slowly tries to stand, but Eternal Big Bang grabs his tail and Eternal Big Bang says, with an evil sinister smile, "You need help getting up, big brother! Here let me help you!" With incredible strength, Eternal Big Bang pulls on Sesshomaru's tail, twirls him around and around multiple times and Eternal Big Bang yells out, in a dark cold strong tone while twirling his older half-brother around, "This is a song that my friends from the Orichalcos taught me, Sesshomaru! Around! Around! Around the asshole goes, where he's gonna stop, nobody knows!" Eternal Big Bang lets go of Sesshomaru's tail, throwing him in the air, and Eternal Big Bang says, with a dark cold sly smile, "And here's more of the hurt! Orichalcos Millennium Wind Scar!" Eternal Big Bang fires his attack at his brother's 'flying' form with Divine Comet yells out, in a dark cold strong tone, "Here's more! Orichalcos Dragon Twister Strike!"

Divine Comet gives swings of her own So'unga and Tokijin to create an orb of demonic energy with dark and blue winds surrounding it and launching it right at her brother's attack, combining it, which makes it more powerful and hits Sesshomaru hard, causing a huge explosion.

Jaken yells out, horrified, "Lord Sesshomaru!" The explosion throws Sesshomaru's burnt and battered body to the ground hard, with a nasty thud, transforming him back to his humanoid form with more multiple burn marks.

Rin calls out, worriedly, "Lord Sesshomaru!" Rin runs over to Sesshomaru's aid, but Inu no Taishou stops her.

Rin says, worriedly, "Lord Inu no Taishou, if this continues, Lord Sesshomaru is going to die!"

Inu no Taishou says, with a serious tone, "If you go in there, it would put Sesshomaru in greater danger while concerning for your safety."

Back in the fight, Eternal Big Bang says, with a dark cold snort, "What a waste! Is this the limit to your so-called power, Sesshomaru!? How pathetic!?"

Sesshomaru groans in pain as he slowly stands on his feet and Eternal Big Bang says, with a dark cold sly smile, "So, you're still alive! I've got to say, big brother, you're pretty stubborn to give up so easily! This is good, since I've wanted to do this for a very long time!" Eternal Big Bang and Divine Comet begins to suck the air with their noses as their chests expand a bit and they blow in the air as a huge eerie green balloon like energy ball was formed over Sesshomaru was formed and from that balloon blast, a dozen 'ghost' versions of Eternal Big Bang and Divine Comet appear around him.

Inu no Taishou yells out, shocked, "What in the world!?"

Jaken yells out, shocked, "I know this technique!"

Divine Comet says, with a dark cold sly grin, "This is our Super Ghost Balloon Technique! It's a follow up of Hikari Urameshi's Super Ghost Kamikaze Attack!"

Sesshomaru says, in a groan, "Don't…think that I don't know…this technique! I'm not so weak that I cannot dodge!"

Eternal Big Bang yells out, in a dark cold strong tone, "Okay ghosts, teach this pompous asshole a painful lesson, attack!"

One of the Eternal Big Bang 'ghosts' says, with a dark cold sly grin and in a 'ghoulish' version of Eternal Big Bang's voice, "You got it, boss!" The ghosts charges after Sesshomaru, but he jumps into the air to escape from them, but they follow him.

Divine Comet says, with a dark cold sly smile, "What's the matter, Sesshomaru!? You're afraid of the creepy ghosts! You should be because you know that if one of them touches you, then they'll give you a nasty surprise!" Sesshomaru races around the sky with high speeds, doing mid-air barrel rolls, spins, going around in circles, and practically every mid-air trick that he learned that an airplane can do, but no matter what he does, Sesshomaru can't escape the little ghouls.

Eternal Big Bang states, with a dark cold sly grin, "Give it up, Sesshomaru! Those little ghouls are Holly's and my ultimate smart-bombs!"

Sesshomaru says, with a sly grin, "Oh, really, little brother?! Let's see how 'smart' they really are!" Just then Sesshomaru makes a quick set of turns that the ghouls follow until they are heading straight for Eternal Big Bang and Divine Comet!

Divine Comet yells out, shocked, "Hey, what the hell!?"

Eternal Big Bang yells out, in a dark cold angered tone, "Sesshomaru, temee!"

Sesshomaru yells out, in a strong tone, "You two brought this upon yourselves when you decide to make a mockery of this Sesshomaru!" Soon after, Sesshomaru does a quick mid-air stop, which causes the ghouls to go right past him and head straight for Eternal Big Bang and Divine Comet.

Eternal Big Bang's expression turns into a dark cold sly one and he yells out, "Nice try, Sesshomaru! I should have known that you'd pull that one!" Sesshomaru gains a rare surprise expression as the ghosts went away from Eternal Big Bang and Divine Comet and race back towards him. Unable to get out in time, Sesshomaru raises his arm in defense for the inevitable as the ghosts grab onto him, glow silver, and then explode in multiple explosions causing a huge wind to kick up causing him to howl once again in pain.

Jaken and Rin yell in unison, worriedly, "Lord Sesshomaru!" When the wind dies down, there is a lot of smoke and dust where Sesshomaru got hit by the 'attack'.

Eternal Big Bang says, with a dark cold snort, "That Sesshomaru! He obviously believes that we'd be stupid enough to be hit by our own attack!" Soon enough, Sesshomaru falls from the air and hits the ground with his clothes all torn off.

Korvo yells out, horrified, "Sesshomaru!"

Just then, Divine Asteroid's voice calls out, in a dark cold nasty tone, "Hey asshole, pay attention!" Korvo turns to see Divine Asteroid and 80 Shadow Clones of Divine Asteroid behind her with bows and lightning bolt like arrows and they fire them at him, which Korvo had a hard time dodging them, even with his demonic speed, and many other arrows hits him causing him to howl in pain as he's thrown to the ground. On the meanwhile, Zera, Kenochi, and NekitaKariba were having a hard time with Divine Big Bang and her Shadow Clones even with Zera's strength.

"Orichalcos Big Bang Kamehameha!"

Divine Big Bang fires her attack at her half-siblings, knocking them away from her, and they slam to the ground.

NekitaKariba yells out, horrified, "Zera! Kenochi!" NekitaKariba looks at Divine Big Bang and she yells out, strongly, "Melody, if there's no way for you to see reason with words, then I guess I have no choice to fight you!"

Divine Big Bang says, with a dark cold sly grin, "That's the answer that I've been waiting for! Now, you die!" Divine Big Bang lunges after NekitaKariba with a killing intent.

"Raging Blaze!"

NekitaKariba fires a huge fireball at Divine Big Bang, but she disappears using her super-speed, and NekitaKariba says, stunned, "She disappeared!"

Divine Big Bang appears behind NekitaKariba and she says, with a dark cold sly smile, "Actually, I'm running so fast that you can't pick up my movements!" Divine Big Bang kicks NekitaKariba's side, breaking four of her ribs, throwing her to a rock wall, with a sickening thud.

NekitaKariba groans in pain as she thinks in her mind, seriously, "Man! That hurts! Melody, do you hate me that much!? What happened to you and Inuyasha!?"

(Returning to Academy Island; on the meanwhile)

Back to Academy Island, we find Akane Tendo walking through a forest with an Academy Style duel disk attached to her left wrist with an angered scowl on her face.

Akane says, in an angered scowl, "The nerve of them! Ukyo stating that I'm the only one that causes Ranma grief! She's the one, who starts it, her along with Shampoo and Kodachi clunging on Ranma like that! Ryoga, that perverted jerk, he didn't even tell me that he was P-chan! I took Hotaru's physical abuse for him for nothing! It makes me so angry of all the days that I was tricked by Hotaru when she makes 'P-chan' cries and impersonating Ranma's voice to leading me to believe that Ranma was picking on 'P-chan', which ends up with me, getting kicked, punched, and whacked by that stupid Power Pole out of the ceiling of my own house. There was also that time that she pulled that and he got into an embarrassing position with Ranma, when he was finishing his bath. Hotaru coming into the bathroom after hearing Ranma's scream and one look on me onto of a half-naked Ranma is enough for Hotaru to call me a 'pervert' and gave me one of her mega-ton punches without giving me a chance to explain, throwing me out of the bathroom. That doesn't tickle! It hurts! As for Ranma, if he knew then why didn't he tell me sooner! Maybe, boys are all perverts and Ryoga is no exception! That perverted pig better keep his distance if he knows what's good for him!"

Just then, a familiar male voice calls out, "You shouldn't talk to yourself! People tend to wonder!" Akane looks up to see the Orichalcos controlled Micheal, Allie, and Hiroshi with a Chaos Duel Disk attached to his left wrist stopping away from her.

Akane says, plainly, "What do you three want!?"

Allie says, with a dark cold sly smile, "You seem edgy as usual! Piggy and you are having a little spat!?"

Akane yells out, angrily, "I'm not in love with that pervert!"

Michael says, with a dark cold snort, "I know that you can't possibly think that Ryoga's a pervert I mean you did know about his curse from the get go!"

Akane yells out seriously, "I didn't know about Ryoga's curse!"

Hiroshi says, in a dark cold serious tone, "Yeah right, Akane! You knew! Master Dartz told us everything!"

Akane yells out, seriously, "Dartz is a liar!"

Hiroshi says, in a dark cold serious tone, "He's not, Tendo! You are! And now, I'm going to show you what you really are! In the past, I wasn't a very good friend with Ranma! He only had Hotaru with him through the bad times with you and those crazy fiancées which was his father's fault! Now, I'll make it up to him by sealing your soul away!"

Akane says, in a serious tone, "I don't know what Dartz has told you two or Ranma, but I'm not evil!"

Michael says, throwing something at Akane, "Then, prove it! Put this around your neck!"

Akane caught it and when looks at it, she gasps in shock as she looks what seems to be a neck with an Orichalcos stone. Akane says, in a serious tone, "I'm not putting that this thing around my neck!"

Hiroshi says, with a dark cold snort, "I should have known! This is a test! Let's see if there's no evil in that little heart of yours! The Orichalcos stone reveals the truth about people!" Hiroshi says, with a dark cold sly grin, "Unless that you're scared of this little challenge!"

Akane yells out, strongly, "I'm not afraid!"

Just then, Princess Uzi's voice calls out to Akane, seriously, "Akane, don't! It's a trick!"

Akane says, putting the necklace around her neck, "I know what I'm doing, Uzi!" Hiroshi and Akane activate their duel disks and their life point meter reaches 8000 Life Points as they drew their five cards.

"Let's duel!" Hiroshi and Akane yell out in unison

Starting Score:

Hiroshi: 8000

Akane: 8000

Hiroshi yells out, drawing his card, "I'll start this duel off!" Hiroshi says, putting a card into the spell/trap slot, "I'll play a continuous spell card called Guardian Treasure! This allows me to draw two cards as long as I discard the five cards in my hand! Plus, I can draw two new cards every round for now on!" Hiroshi discards the five cards in his hand and draws two cards from his deck.

Akane thinks in her mind, curiously, "I don't get it! Why would he get rid of his entire hand just for that!?" Akane gasps in shock and she thinks in her mind, shocked, "He's searching for his Seal of Orichalcos Field Spell card!"

Hiroshi says, putting another card into the spell/trap slot, "Next, I play my Pot of Greed spell card! Now, can draw two new cards!" Hiroshi draws two cards from his deck and he says, putting a card on his duel disk, "Next, I put a monster face-down in defense mode!" A holographic monster card appears face-down horizontally on the field and Hiroshi says, putting another face-down card, "Finally, I'll place a face-down and end my turn! You've got to thank me, Tendo! I just gave you a head start since I played three cards with nothing in my hand!"

Akane thinks in her mind, plainly, "He may be toying with me, but he has a point! If I destroy his defensive monster, I can take an early lead!" Akane yells out, drawing a card, "Here goes!" Akane says, putting a card on her duel disk, "I summon Blazing Inpachi in attack mode!" Immediately, Blazing Inpachi (1850/0) comes to the field in attack mode and Akane yells out, strongly, "I'm sure that your defensive monster won't stand a chance against my Blazing Inpachi! Now, attack!" Blazing Inpachi launches a wave of flames right at Hiroshi's face-down monster card, which was revealed to be Backup Gardna (500/2200) and it hits it, but Backup Gardna wasn't destroyed.

Hiroshi says, with a dark cold sly smile and laughter, "Now, what was that you were saying that my monster not standing a chance! My Backup Gardna more than enough points to stop you!" Soon enough, Akane loses 350 life-points from the defense damage and Akane says, putting a card into the spell/trap slot, "I'll place a face-down card and end my turn!"

Current Score:

Hiroshi: 8000

Akane: 7650

Hiroshi says, drawing his card, "Back to me!" Hiroshi draws another card due to his Guardian Treasure and he says, putting a card into the spell/trap slot, "First, I play my Foolish Burial spell card! Now, I can put a monster card from my deck and put it in the graveyard!" Hiroshi takes out his deck, searches through it, takes a card which is his Gaia the Fierce Knight (2300/2100) monster card, and sends it to the graveyard. Hiroshi says, putting another card into the spell/trap slot, "Next, I'll play Monster Reborn to summon Gaia from the grave!" Soon after, Gaia the Fierce Knight (2300/2100) comes to the field in attack mode and Hiroshi yells out, in a dark cold strong tone, "And now, Gaia, attack Blazing Inpachi!" Gaia charges at Blazing Inpachi, stabbing it with his weapon, destroying it, and Akane loses 450 more life points.

Hiroshi says, with a dark cold sly smile, "Oh it must hurt to be you right! Soon, your soul will be gone forever and out of Ranma's life so you won't hurt him again!"

Akane says, seriously, "I don't know what lies you were told, but no good would ever come from your plans!"

Hiroshi says, in a dark cold plain tone, "Don't worry, Tendo! You won't be around to see how our plan turns out!"

Akane says, in a plain tone, "I'm not going anywhere!"

Hiroshi says, in a dark cold snort, "We'll see about that!"

Current Score:

Hiroshi: 8000

Akane: 7200

Akane says, drawing her card, "It's my turn!" Akane says, putting a card into the spell/trap slot, "First, I play my Foolish Burial spell card! Now, I can put a monster card from my deck and put it in the graveyard!" Akane takes out her deck, searches through it, takes a card which is her Darkblaze (1200/1000) monster card, and sends it to the graveyard. Akane says, pressing a button on her duel disk, "Next, I'll play my face-down card, Call of the Haunted!" Akane's face-down card is revealed to be Call of the Haunted and Akane says, in a serious tone, "Thanks to this card, I can summon a monster from my graveyard and I choose my Darkblaze Dragon!" Soon enough, Darkblaze Dragon (1200/1000-2400/2000) appears on the field in attack mode. Akane yells out, seriously, "And thanks to its special ability, its attack and defense points are doubled! Now, Darkblaze Dragon, attack!" Darkblaze Dragon prepares for its attack at Gaia and fires its fireball blast.

Hiroshi yells out, in a dark cold strong tone, "I don't think so, Lizard Breath! Go Rescuer from the Grave!" From Hiroshi's graveyard, his Rescuer from the Grave comes out, negating Darkblaze Dragon's attack.

Akane yells out, shocked, "You can't play a card from your graveyard!"

Hiroshi says, in a dark cold serious tone, "I just did! This powerful spell card can only be activated, once it's in my graveyard at the cost of five cards from my graveyard and here comes the fun part. Well, fun for me that is…it negates your monster's attack."

Akane thinks in her mind, seriously, "That's why he tossed out his whole hand before!" Akane says, putting a card on her duel disk, "I summon UFO Turtle in defense mode!" UFO Turtle (1400/1200) appears on the field in defense mode and Akane says, putting a card in the spell/trap slot, "Finally, I'll play a face-down card and end my turn!"

Hiroshi says, drawing his two cards, "Where was I?" Hiroshi says, with a dark cold serious tone, "Oh yeah! I remember! Destroying you by sealing away your very soul! After all, it's the only way of you getting out of Ranma's life, permanently. But why keep talking about it? The sooner I win this duel, the sooner that you'll be gone forever!" Hiroshi then says, putting two cards into the spell/trap slots, "And with that, I'll place two cards face-down!" Hiroshi says, pressing a button on his duel disk, "And then, I'll activate my face-down continuous spell card, Purity of the Cemetery!" Hiroshi's face-down card was the continuous spell card, Purity of the Cemetery, and Hiroshi says, in a dark cold serious tone, "Here's how it works, Tendo, you lose one hundred life-points, each of your Standby Phases for every monster that's in your graveyard! And as long as my graveyard remains monster-free, my card stays in play."

Akane thinks in her mind, seriously, "I have to send a monster to his graveyard or I'm a goner!"

Hiroshi says, in a dark cold serious tone, "And now, I have one more thing that you may be interested to know. I have no intentions of playing my Seal of Orichalcos spell card!"

Akane says, surprised, "What!?"

Hiroshi says, in a dark cold serious tone, "But that doesn't mean that you're safe not by a long shot! You're fate has been sealed and when you lose your soul, it will be by your own doing!" Hiroshi says, putting a card in the spell/trap slot, "Next, I activate Lightning Blade to increase my Gaia's attack strength by eight hundred points!" One of Gaia's appears was replaced by Lightning Blade, increasing his stats from 2300/2100 to 3100/2100! Hiroshi yells out, in a dark cold strong tone, "Gaia, attack her Darkblaze Dragon now!" Gaia charges with his horse after Darkblaze Dragon.

Akane says, pressing a button on her duel disk, "I activate my Attack Guidance Armor trap card!" Akane's face-down card is revealed to be Attack Guidance Armor trap card and Akane says, with a serious tone, "Now, I redirect your attack to my UFO Turtle!" The hologram of the armor on the trap card goes onto UFO Turtle, Gaia's attack redirects towards it, and it is destroyed. Since it was in defense mode, Akane doesn't lose any life points and she says, taking out a card that was popped from her deck, "And since my turtle is destroyed, I can summon a Fire monster from my deck!" Akane says, putting a card on her duel disk, "And I summon my Solar Flare Dragon!" Immediately, Solar Flare Dragon (1500/1000) comes to the field in attack mode.

Hiroshi says, with a dark cold snort, "I'll end my turn!"

Akane says, drawing her card, "My move!"

Hiroshi yells out, in a dark cold strong tone, "Did you forget about my Purity of the Cemetery spell card!? You lose two hundred points! I looks like you're in over your head as usual, Tendo!"

Akane loses 200 of her life points and she says, putting a card in the spell/trap slot, "I'm not too worried! I'll activate my Pot of Greed spell card! This allows me to draw two cards from my deck!" Akane draws two cards from her deck and she thinks in her mind, seriously, "With these many monsters in my hand, it's going to hurt with that Purity of the Cemetery spell card in play, but it has to be done!" Akane says, putting a card into her spell/trap slot, "Next, I'll set a card face-down!" Akane says, putting a card on her duel disk, "I'll sacrifice all the cards in my hand and release my Darkblaze Dragon to summon Infernal Inciderator!" Darkblaze Dragon disappears as Akane discards all the cards in her hand and Infernal Inciderator (2800/1800) appears on the field in attack mode. Akane says, in a serious tone, "There's its special ability, since there's two monsters on your side of the field, it gains four hundred more attack points!" Infernal Inciderator's stats increase from 2800/1800 to 3100/1800!

Hiroshi yells out, in a dark cold nasty tone, "Oh yeah! You have a monster on your side of the field and your monster loses five hundred points!" Infernal Inciderator's stats were reduced to 2600/1800.

Akane says, pressing a button on her duel disk, "I was ready for that! I play my face-down card, Gift of the Martyr!" Akane's face-down card was her Gift of the Martyr spell card and Akane says, with a smile, "Thanks to this card, I release my Solar Flare Dragon to give all of its attack points to my Infernal Incinerator and returning the five hundred that was taken from him!" Infernal Incinerator's stats further from 2600/1800 to 4600/1800!

Hiroshi says, stunned, "Over four thousand attack points!"

Akane yells out, strongly, "Infernal Inciderator, attack with Firestorm Blast!" Infernal Incinerator fires a huge fire blast at Gaia, destroying him as it hits. Hiroshi says, in a dark cold snarl, "Big deal! You won't be so lucky next time!"

Akane says, in a serious tone, "We'll see!"

Hiroshi says, pressing a button on his duel disk, "You're right! We'll see right now! Activate Self-Tribute!" Hiroshi's face-down card was the Self-Tribute quick-play spell card. Hiroshi groans out as his life-points were dropped by 1000 points further and Gaia the Fierce Knight (2300/2100-3100/2100) comes back to the field with Lightning Blade.

Akane yells out, shocked, "Wait! What's going on!?"

Hiroshi says, with a dark cold sly grin, "I've given up a thousand life-points to save my Gaia from destruction! I told you that I would do anything to get rid of you forever and away from Ranma's life! All you ever do is hurt him! You and that little piggy of yours!"

Akane yells out, seriously, "That's not true!"

Hiroshi says, in a dark cold serious tone, "With the exception of Hotaru, everyone else in Nermia, seems to take great pleasure in trying to kill Ranma on the daily basis and you're not an exception whenever he's getting glomped by girls like Shampoo, Kodachi, and Ukyo! You blame him for that without hearing his side of the story!"

Akane says, in a serious tone with a bit of anger, "Shut up! Let's duel!"

Michael says, with a dark cold sly smile, "What's the matter!? Are you upset that I know you better than you know yourself!? Face it! Everyone else has darkness in their hearts and you're no exception! Your problem is that you're afraid to admit it! But deep down, you're evil!"

Akane says, in a serious tone, "That's coming from someone who uses a cheating spell card to win duels!"

Allie says, with a dark cold snort, "Cheating!? You want to talk about cheating, Tendo! I've heard from Ranma and Hotaru about the sacred doji and super soba to make yourself stronger and a better martial artists than them, even though, Hotaru used her final trick to put you in your place in both situations!"

Akane yells out, angrily, "Shut up!"

Allie says, in a dark cold snort, "I don't have to do anything that a stupid 'boy-hater' like you, Tendo! Yeah! Ranma also told us about the first day that he came to the Tendo dojo! When you first saw Ranma when he was in girl form you asked him if he would like to be friends. Then when he defeated in your little spar you said that you didn't mind being beaten by girl but if he was a boy it would've been different. And when Ranma was just finishing his bath and was about to tell you and your family about his curse you walked in on him at his male form. True, he may have seen you in the nude, but it would've been avoided if you just waited until he was finish then maybe he would've told you about his curse with no problem. When you realized that you were defeated by a boy you got scared because it would mean that you are not the best martial artist in Nerima. So in order to save your reputation and honor, you had to forsaken his! However, it well up, until Hotaru came around and put you in your place and forced you to back off of Ranma!"

Akane yells out, strongly, "That's not true! None of it so true!"

Hiroshi says, with a dark cold serious tone, "Oh yeah! How come whenever Ranma gets into perverted situations with those other girls, you don't even lift a finger to help him out, knowing that it'll be against his code to hit girls!? You're nothing more than a selfish bitch who would do anything to hurt someone, who has saved you, over and over, and gave him nothing more than mistrust and disrespect! If it wasn't for Hotaru, then Ranma would have been driven into madness! Ranma never had a real friend in Nermia before Hotaru came back to his life!"

Akane yells out, seriously, "I've been a real friend!"

Hiroshi says, with a dark cold snort, "That's because it was either by family honor or Hotaru forced you by violence or threatening your fucking pig!"

Akane says, lowly, "Don't ever remind me that I took beatings for that pig! And Hotaru happens to take great pleasure of beating me up without hearing my side of the story."

Michael says, in a dark cold snort, "That's because you deserve it! Every last beating by Hotaru's hands, you've deserve it for the crimes against her brother! Besides, why should she listen to your side, when you don't even listen her brother's side, before you hit him! Of course, those beatings weren't enough, you still treated Ranma like crap! You had no idea what he's been through in his life! While you were happy in your nice warm home, that fat lazy son of a bitch of a father of his made both Ranma and Hotaru sleep in the rain and snow! When you had a family and friends, Ranma and Hotaru were forced to move town to town! They never had a chance to make any friends besides Ukyo, Davis, Jaden, and Tyson, but that those dorks aren't really Ranma's real friends when they believed a fake tape over him! When you got to enjoy a home cook meal, Ranma and Hotaru barely lived on rice and water! Lots of times on nothing at all since Genma always hardly let's them eat! And finally when you get to go to school and spend time with your friends, Genma made Ranma and Hotaru train on twenty-four seven! Making Hotaru forgetting about her femininity, exception when she's forced to cook for them and Genma steal manages to steal her food that she made along with Ranma's! Never letting them play and have fun with the exception of Duel Monsters! Never letting them learn anything but martial arts and Duel Monsters! Never letting them have an education! Never letting have a real childhood like all people should have!"

Allie says, in a dark cold serious tone, "Ranma and Hotaru had a hard and abusive life growing up with that fat asshole, Genma Saotome and you, Akane Tendo, have made it worst for Ranma with all of your accusations, mallets, and your sick games! If I were Ranma, I'd get Hotaru to actually kill you as well as that fat lazy son of a bitch as well as your whole damn family, right from the get go and the whole reason why you're even still breathing since then was that Ranma wanted Hotaru to spear your worthless life since Hotaru could killed you back then!"

Akane was having a hard to digesting the information down and she thinks in her mind, solemnly, "Is that the reason why Ranma is the way that he is!? Was that the reason why Hotaru loves beating me down to the ground!? If I were Ranma, I actually would have let Hotaru actually killed me and I should have left that perverted pig to his fate in Hotaru's hands while I'm at it!"

Just then, Princess Uzi calls to Akane, mentality, "Akane, if you're truly sorry then make it up! Help the others save Ranma and Hotaru!"

Akane tells Princess Uzi, mentality, "You're right, Uzi! I will!"

Current Score:

Hiroshi: 7000

Akane: 7000

After Infernal Incinerator's stats were reduced to 3200/1000 with the effects of Gift of the Martyr gone, Hiroshi says, drawing two cards, "Face it, Tendo! You have a dark heart and I'm going to prove it!" Hiroshi says, putting a card into the spell/trap slot, "I play a card face-down!" Hiroshi says, pressing a button on his duel disk, "I activate my face-down card, Exchange!" Hiroshi's face-down card is the Exchange spell card.

Akane asks, seriously, "What are you up to!?"

Hiroshi says, in a dark cold serious tone, "Normally, Exchange allows both of us pick a card from our opponent's hand, but you notice that both of us are holding one card each in our hand! So, that means why both switch cards!"

Akane says, in a plain tone, "Then, let's get on with it!" Soon enough, Hiroshi and Akane walk towards each other and Akane gives Hiroshi the only card in her hand, which was her Necromancy spell card.

Hiroshi says, taking the card, "Necromancy, huh? This lets me use a monster from your graveyard! That means that this card would have been useless since I have no monsters in my graveyard!"

Akane says, in a serious tone, "Fine! Let me have your card so we can continue!"

Hiroshi says, with a dark cold sly smile while giving Akane the only card in his hand, "As you wish! I think that you'll be pleased with this one!" After Hiroshi gives Akane the card, he walks away back to his spot, laughing.

Akane asks, while she walks back to her spot, "What are you laughing about!?" Akane looks at the card given to her and she gasps in horror as she sees in her hand, the Seal of Orichalcos Field Spell card. Akane says, horrified, "No! I can't use this! Not the Seal of Orichalcos!"

Michael says, in a dark cold serious tone, "It's too late! The stone around your neck has already begun to reveal your dark side!"

Akane glares at Hiroshi as her own Orichalcos stone glows eerie green, which makes her clutches it, trying to hide it, and Michael yells out, in a dark cold serious tone, "The Orichalcos stone never lies! Ever since it first appeared on earth, the stone has been testing people. It knows who the evil people are! And when it detects the darkness inside of you, for the first time in centuries, you get to see who you really are!"

Hiroshi says, with a dark cold sly grin, "Of course! You don't have to play that card if you don't want to, but I've got a feeling you will! So, go ahead and make your next move, Tendo!"

As Akane looks at the Seal of Orichalcos card given to her as she feels something within herself, getting her to play the card, Princess Uzi tells Akane, seriously and mentality, "Akane, no matter what happens, you can't play that card!"

Akane says, mentality, "Yes, but…!"

Princess Uzi says, seriously, "But nothing! That card is evil! It corrupted my beloved! it also corrupted Ranma's mind! It took the souls of your friends, Yuka and Sayuri, as well as your sister, Nabiki! I'm begging you, Akane! Don't play it!"

Akane says, in a plain tone, "Don't worry, Uzi! I won't play it!" Akane says, drawing her card, "It's my turn!"

Hiroshi yells out, in a dark cold strong tone, "Don't forget about my Purity of the Cemetery spell card is in play and with eight monsters, including those you've discarded with your monster's effect, you automatically lose eight hundred of your life points!"

Akane loses 800 life-points thanks to Hiroshi's continuous spell card and Akane yells out, strongly, "Infernal Incinerator, attack! Destroy his Gaia again!" Infernal Incinerator fires the fire blast again at Gaia once again.

Hiroshi yells out, pressing a button on his duel disk, "Not so fast! Activate Crystal Seal!" Hiroshi's face-down card was the Crystal Seal continuous trap card.

Akane yells out, shocked, "What!?" Just then, Infernal Incinerator's attack is negated and ice crystal appears around Infernal Incinerator, imprisoning him in a pillar of ice crystal. Akane yells out, angrily, "What have you done to my monster!?"

Hiroshi says, in a dark cold serious tone, "I've sealed your monster in a crystal prison! As long as it stays there, it can't attack, defend, or be released!" Hiroshi says, with a dark cold sly grin, "Of course, there is a one card that could set your monster free! Do you have the guts to play it?"

Akane growls in annoyance as she looks at the Seal of Orichalcos in her hand. She knows that if she plays it then her soul is at risk, but being Akane Tendo, meaning that if you're challenged to something, no matter what it is, you have to accept it. Princess Uzi tells Akane, in a serious tone, "He's trying to bait you into playing it, Akane! That's way too dangerous! That card is evil! No matter what you do, don't activate it!"

Akane says, in a serious tone and mentality, "I understand, Uzi, but it could be the only way to free Infernal Incinerator!"

Princess Uzi tells her reincarnation, pleadingly, "Don't please, Akane!"

Akane says, putting a card on her duel disk, "I summon Charcoal Inpachi on the field in defense mode and end my turn!" Soon enough, Charcoal Inpachi (100/2100) appears on the field in defense mode.

Current Score:

Hiroshi: 7000

Akane: 6200

Hiroshi thinks in his mind, seriously, "I know that she wants to use the Seal of Orichalcos!" Hiroshi says, drawing two cards, "Time to lose!" Hiroshi says, putting a card on his duel disk, "I summon Blade Knight in attack mode!" Blade Knight (1600/1000) comes to the field in attack mode and Hiroshi says, in a dark cold serious tone, "Since I have one card in my hand, he gains four hundred attack points!" Blade Knight's stats increase from 1600/1000 to 2000/1000 and Hiroshi yells out, in a dark cold strong tone, "Gaia, attack her Inpachi now!" Gaia charges towards Inpachi, impaling it with his sword, destroying it and since it was in defense mode, Akane doesn't lose any life-points.

Akane yells out, shocked, "No! I'm defenseless!"

Hiroshi yells out, in a dark cold strong tone, "And your life-points are wide open! Go Blade Knight, attack her now!" Blade Knight lunges at Akane, slashes her chest, and Akane groans as she loses 2000 life-points and she falls on her knees, panting. Hiroshi says, with a dark cold sly grin, "It looks like this duel is pretty much over! In fact, you'll lose once your next turn is done!"

Current Score:

Hiroshi: 7000

Akane: 4200

Akane yells out, drawing her card, "You're wrong!"

Hiroshi yells out, in a dark cold serious tone, "Remember, my Purity of the Cemetery is still in effect! So you lose nine hundred life-points, Tendo!" Akane growls in annoyance as her life-points are decreased by 900 points and Hiroshi says, in a dark cold serious tone, "You have one turn left to save yourself and you know what I'm talking about! Now, play the card that I gave you or you're just going to chicken out of a challenge, coward!"

Akane was slowly slipping into temptation when Hiroshi called her a coward and Princess Uzi calls out to Akane, mentality, "No Akane! Please! There's another way out of this!"

Akane looks at her 'frozen' monster and she says, lowly, "If I lose this duel…!" Akane yells out, strongly as she slowly stands up, "No! I won't lose this duel! I'll take you down!" Akane yells out, putting a card into the spell/trap slot, "I activate Card of Sanctity! Both of us can draw until we're holding six cards in our hands!"

Hiroshi says, drawing until he's holding six cards, "You're just stalling!"

Akane draws her six cards and looks to see that nothing apart from the Seal of Orichalcos can help her at this point. Akane thinks in her mind, seriously, "I'm running out of options! There's only one card in my hand that can free my monster, so I can win the duel!" Akane then thinks in her mind, as her hand was getting closer to the Seal of Orichalcos field spell card, "I have to play the Seal of Orichalcos to win!" Akane takes the card from her hand as her Field Spell slot opens and Akane closes her eyes as she raises the card in the air to place it in the slot. When she tries to, she feels a grab of her right arm, holding the cursed card. Akane turns to see her past self, grabbing her, and Akane tells her, seriously, "Let go!"

Princess Uzi says, in a serious tone, "You don't know what you're doing, Akane!"

Akane yells out, annoyed, "Let go, I said!"

Princess Uzi yells out, seriously, "This card is infecting your mind, you baka!"

That was the last cord that struck Akane's pride and she yells out, seriously, "I'm going to lose the duel! Can't you see!? It's the only way! Now, let me go!" Akane yanks her arm away from her past self, determined now to play the Seal of Orichalcos right away.

Princess Uzi says, pleadingly, "Please, Akane, I'm begging you! Don't play that card!"

Akane ignores her past self and she yells out, strongly, "I play the Seal of Orichalcos!"

The Orichalcos warriors places evil sly smiles on their lips and Hiroshi thinks in his mind, "Excellent!"

Akane slaps the card into her field spell slot and it closes and Akane's Duel Disk gives off an eerie green glow. Akane thinks in her mind, horrified, "What have I done!?" Akane screams out as the energy of the Orichalcos was ridiculed through her body which engulfs the field as and the Seal of Orichalcos appears on the field and surrounds her and Hiroshi.

(Near the 'White Dorm'; on the meanwhile)

Outside of the 'White Dorm', we find our SOL controlled heroes and heroines looking up in the sky where the light of the Seal of Orichalcos at.

Yusuke yells out, shocked, "Do you guys see what I see!?"

Alexis says, in a cold serious tone, "The Seal of Orichalcos!"

Chazz yells out, in a cold serious tone, "Let's go!" Soon enough, the SOL members rushes over to the direction of the duel.

(Elsewhere on Academy Island; on the meanwhile)

At another part of Academy Island, we find TK and Patamon after taking Daisuke's soulless form to the school infirmary, watching the light from the Seal of Orichalcos being played.

TK says, seriously, "There's no doubt about it! One of Dartz's goons trapped another innocent duelist to their sick games!"

Just then, a familiar male voice calls out, "TK!" TK and Patamon look to see Davis, Ryoga, Kira, Hikari, Keiko, and their Digimon partners running towards them.

Kira says, looking at the light, "Damn it! Those Orichalcos goons are at it again! Come on!" Soon enough, the group goes to the direction of the Orichalcos duel.

(Back with Akane and Hiroshi; on the meanwhile)

Back at the duel with Akane and Hiroshi, we see the mark of the Orichalcos appearing on Akane's forehead with her eyes glowing evil red color as her body gains a dark aura.

Hiroshi says, with a dark cold sly grin, "Nice work, Tendo! I knew that you had it in you! Let's see if the Orichalcos reveals you to be good or evil!"

To be continued…

~Next time~

Akane: The darkness of the Orichalcos is enhancing the powers of my monsters!

Hiroshi: I should known Tendo, you're nothing but pure evil, I have to seal your soul away for good!

Alexis: Next time: Another Soul Captured; Power of the 'Fifth Chosen Hanyou' and 'Chosen Youkai' Revealed
