Chapter 126: Meido Zangetsuha

(The early evening after Yami Bakura's third retreat; Deep within the abandoned dorm)

Deep within the abandoned dorm, we find Totosai putting the finishing touches on a sword that was hidden within the shadows by blowing fire onto the blade and hammering it with his large mallet while his three-eyed cow was sleeping.

Totosai says, with a smile, "It's almost done!"

Just then, a familiar male rings out, "Totosai!" Totosai turns to see Inu no Taisho walking towards him.

Totosai says, with a smile, "What's up?"

Inu no Taishou says, with a sly smile with a wink, "Totosai, my friend! Could you do me a little fever?"

Totosai asks, curiously, "What is it?"

(Within the 'White Dorm'; at the same time)

In Sartorius's quarters within the 'White Dorm', we found Yusuke Urameshi and Gaomon in front of their fellow SOL members, namely our SOL controlled heroes and heroines as they told them what had happened with Ryoga Hibiki and the Orichalcos controlled Ranma Saotome.

When they were done, Sakura says, in a shocked tone, "You're kidding! Hibiki was generating the same power as a Jinchuriki!"

Sartorius says, with a serious tone, "I should have known! You see, when I first arrived on this island and when I first saw Ryoga Hibiki, I noticed that he was another Jinchuriki and I was right!"

Hinata says, in a stunned tone, "Another Jinchuriki! But there were only nine, the final battle between the Elemental Countries and the Akatsuki, they used the beasts they captured against us!"

Sartorius says, with a nod, "Indeed, however, one of those beasts that the Akatsuki used was a complete fake!"

Sakura says, in a stunned tone, "A fake! But how!"

Sartorius says, in a serious tone, "That's correct, Miss Haruno! You see, I did some reasearch on the Hibiki family and I found out that the beast that the Akatsuki and Madara Uchiha used was Five-Tailed Dolphin, which was a fake Buji, the true 'Five-Tails' was a dragon and it was sealed away within Ryoga Hibiki as an infant when he was born. You see, his mother was the previous Jinchuriki of the Five-Tailed Dragon and she, like Naruto Uzumaki's mother, Kushina Uzumaki, survived the extraction of the beast and under the orders of the Tsuchikage, Onoki, the newborn Ryoga and his mother left the Stone village and away from the dangers of Madara and the Akatsuki. If Madara had completed his task to capture all Buji and recreate the Jubi, along with the fake Five-Tails, then he would have most likely caused a disaster and destroyed himself along with the majority of the Elemental Countries as well as damaged the Earth so greatly that it would take millennia to repair."

Tenten says, in a cold annoyed tone, "That wasn't funny! He could have killed us along with himself!"

Sartorius says, in a serious tone, "Most likely, Dartz already knows about this and sent Ranma Saotome against him, so he could gain Mister Hibiki's inner demon and use its power to speed up the process to where the Great Leviathan would be half way revived. This is why that Ryoga Hibiki must be eliminated at all costs before the Orichalcos takes him!"

Sakura says, in a cold serious tone, "Easier said than done, sir! From what Yusuke told us, Ranma has gotten a lot stronger since we last saw him!"

Alexis says, in a cold plain tone, "Let's not forget about the nonbelievers, especially Keiko! They'll be watching Hibiki like a hawk, most likely put him under protection from us and the Orichalcos!"

Tenten says, in a cold serious tone, "And with the Orichalcos picking up our strategies beforehand, it's going to be real tough of taking Hibiki out!"

Sartorius says, with a serious tone, "I know what you all must mean! Ranma Saotome now possesses the power of an S-class demon, rivaling Mister Urameshi here!"

Yusuke says, with a cold snarl, "And with that Saiyan DNA abilities of his, Ranma will get even stronger than he was when he was fighting that pervert, Hibiki!"

Chazz says, with a cold serious tone, "And that's with Inuyasha and his family too!"

Sakura says, in a cold angered snarl, "Now, I'm really tempted to knock Haga's and Tenku's teeth out for this! They've cost us really valuable members that would be useful! Damn it!"

Sartorius says, in a serious tone, "I know how you all must feel, but we must have faith in the Light and destiny!"

Alexis says, in a cold serious tone, "We will, sir! I just want my cousin back from that monster and we'll do whatever it takes!"

Yusuke says, with a nod, "That's right and in the process, after getting Keiko and Inuyasha as well as Kagome, I'm going to start grinding Dartz into the ground! He's pissed me off way too much in this lifetime!"

(Within the Orichalcos hideout; at the same time)

Inside of the Orichalcos headquarters, we find ourselves within one of the bedrooms which was locked and we find Renta, dressed in his usual Orichalcos clothing, standing in front of a bathroom, which was in the bedroom with an annoyed and impatient look on his face. Earlier, Renta and Melody made their way to the room, he was currently in at the moment, which was Melody's room, and Melody wanted to change into something that Allie gave her for her to display for Renta.

Renta says, with a dark cold impatient tone, "Oi Melody, how long are you going to stay in there!"

Melody's voice calls out, in a dark cold annoyed tone, "Mou! Would you please be impatient for one second! I want to show you a dress that Allie gave me!"

Renta says, with a dark cold sly and seductive tone, "What's the point in putting it on, since it's going to be taken off!"

Melody yells out, in a dark cold serious tone, "Renta, I happen to really like this dress and if you by any chance literately rip it off while trying to take it off or try to hurry me up again, then I won't let you touch me for a week!"

This didn't suit well for Renta as he gets a panicked look on his face and Renta says, worriedly, "Okay Me-chan, I'll be good! I promise!"

Melody says, with a dark cold loving and seductive tone, "I'll hold you to it, Re-chan!" Just then, the door opened, which got Renta's attention, as he turns to see and he was shocked to see his mate-to-be standing in front of him in a long fitting dark blue sundress that stopped at her mid-thigh showing off her slender and seductive legs and voluptuous body with slim waist. The dress was held up by two dark blue thick straps on her shoulders and showed a bit of her cleavage. Melody's silver hair is hanging down to her waist, making her to Renta, a vision to behold. Renta licked his lips at this site wanting to grab Melody and take her right there.

Melody says, with a dark cold seductive tone, "I take it from your expression that you like what you see!"

Renta says, with a dark cold sly grin, "I don't like it! I love it! It's getting hard to control myself!"

Melody says, with a dark cold giggle, "Remember what I said, koi!" Melody then takes a small leap toward her mate-to-be and kisses him on the lips as she wraps her arms around Renta's neck. Soon enough, Renta returns the kiss with the same amount of passion as he places his hands onto Melody's waist, pulling her closer to him. While their tongues fight with each other, Melody ran her hands inside Renta's soft black hair while Renta wraps his left arm around Melody's slender waist and his right hand ran on her back. Melody then gets on her bare toes to press her breasts to Renta's chest, causing his 'member' to hardened as he feels the soft mounds on his chest and Melody's lips form a dark cold sly grin with a giggle to add. Renta forces Melody's legs to be wrapped around his waist, then pushed her to the bed with Melody's back lying on the bed and Renta on top of her. Renta then starts to 'feast' upon Melody's neck, sucking it while leaving hickies behind it, causing Melody to moan in pleasure. Melody silently gasps in surprise as she feels Renta's left hand latched to her right breast, feeling it while the other hand was at her back, pulling the left strap down her shoulder and sends soft kisses on the bare skin as he lowers the other strap and pulls the dress down to reveal her voluptuous and curved breasts concealed by a dark pink strapless bra. Renta licked his lips at this as he stares at his soon-to-be mate's cleavage, hungrily, and went in to kiss it, sending wonderful shivers down Melody's spine.

Melody says, with a dark cold moan, "Re-chan…ah…ta…ah!" Melody then arches her back, giving free access to the back clasp for Renta to touch, which he did, and after a few tries, undid it and throws it away. Then, Melody covers her breasts with her arms and sends a dark cold annoyed glare at Renta. Melody says, with a dark cold serious tone, "Renta, lose the top now or you won't play with these lovely mounds you love so much!"

Renta groans as he removes his tunic top and he says, with a dark cold mock annoyed glare, "My shirt is removed!"

Melody places a dark cold smile as she moves her hands through Renta's well-developed and muscular male chest and abs while uncovering her breasts. Renta goes down to kiss Melody's lips turning into a passionate one after Melody returns it while gently wraps her arms around his shoulders and neck. As he was kissing Melody, Renta feels around Melody's bare upper body with his hands and found her breasts and gently fondles and massages them. Melody moans in Renta's mouth as he did this and played with his dog ears with her fingers. Renta then kisses Melody's neck, collarbone, licks and suckles her breasts for thirty minutes while Melody plays with his dog ears, kisses down her body, and licks around her navel. Renta then goes north and meets with Melody's golden eyes, which were filled with darkness, coldness love and lust for him and a bit of loneliness in them.

Melody says, with a dark cold loving smile, "Re-chan, I love you! I love you so much that I can't stand it! When you died, it left a huge hole in my heart with nothing to fill it in! No one could replace you in my heart, not even that bird and that bumbling human from this time! I wanted to start a family with you and bare your children!"

Renta says, with a dark cold smile, "I know, Me-chan! I love you too and I'm sorry that you had to go through that loneliness and pain all those years. I wanted to start a family with you too! It's just that I wanted to avenge Hajji so much that I lost my head and died that night! I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you! I'm so sorry that you suffered through my death!"

While tears were coming down her eyes, Melody says, with a dark cold smile, "Baka! You do you have to blame yourself for?" Melody then places her right hand onto Renta's right cheek and she says, in a dark cold soft tone, "It wasn't your fault, koishii! It was that priestess and Korvo-temae that killed you along with So-chan and Suzame-onee-chan as well as the majority of the human race! They're the ones, who stole the life that we could have had! We didn't do anything to them, but they just antagonize us! They've been doing that for years and that backstabbing miko and her worthless friends are no different! They've wrong my brother and they'll be the ones that pays and pays dearly! I wanted the humans to feel what I've felt by killing their beloved priestesses one by one, so they can feel a bit of my hatred no matter how they screamed for me and Ane-chan to spare their mikos! Most of the humans and demons are evil! I want them to be gone forever, so we could live in a peaceful world and our children would be safe too."

Renta says, with a dark cold loving smile, "Me-chan, how about once the human race as been eliminated, including that claypot witch and Inuyasha's backstabbing friends, we become mates for real! Your mother gave me her approval to court you, but I want your approval the most too, angel!"

Melody was at a moment of surprise and she says, with a dark cold smile, "Re-chan…" Melody then slightly punched Renta's chest, causing him to groan, and she says, with a dark cold loving smile and tone, "There you go again saying such stupid things! I told you that I'd be your mate all those years ago and that hasn't changed at all! I want to be with you, bear your children, watch them grow, and spend the rest of my life with you!"

Renta says, with a dark cold smile, "I'd like that too!" Renta and Melody then continue to 'make out' while removing the rest of each other's clothing.

(During that same evening; In Holly's dreams)

Right now, we find our magic stone wielder turned half-demon in her old Monster Rancher outfit looking around at a strange thick fog with a real confused look on her face.

Holly asks, curiously, "Where am I?" Holly then turns to see at her horror many lost monster discs and the mangled and slain bodies of Colt, her human foster father, Inuyasha, in his usual kimono, Melody, in her regular kimono, Megumi, in a yellow and orange version of her Orichalcos kimono, Zera, Kenochi, and NekitaKariba. Holly says, in a horror filled tone, "Oh my…! What happened!"

A familiar male voice croaks out, "H…Holl…Holly…!" Holly turns to see in her absolute horror Genki, who had a multiple large bloody gashes all over his chest, arms, and legs, his Obelisk Blue uniform had many slashes as well as his face and looked as if he had better days.

Holly exclaims, horrified, "Genki!" Holly runs over to the younger teen as he falls from his feet and into her arms. Holly exclaims, seriously, "Genki, what happened!"

Genki coughs out blood which made Holly cringed at the smell of his blood and Genki says, weakly, "Th…the others…Tiger…Hare…Moochi…Golem…Suezo…Granity…and…the others…tried to stop…but…!"

Holly says, horrified, "The others! You mean…!" Holly then looks at the lost discs and she says, worriedly, "You mean…they were…!"

Genki says, with a weak nod, "Yeah…! All of…our friends…all of them…are…dead…"

Holly asks Genki, seriously, "Genki, who did this! Who's responsible for this!"

In his last bit of strength, Genki slowly points his finger at…Holly, herself, and he says, in his dying breath, "Y…you…!" With that, Genki dropped his hand as he passes on leaving a grief-stricken Holly behind and Holly says, horrified, "No! I did this!"

Just then, a demonic version of her voice calls out, "That's right, Holly! You did this! You killed them!" Holly whips her head to see herself in her full-demon form.

Holly asks, seriously, "Who are you!"

Holly's 'demonic counterpart', Demon Holly, says, with a dark demonic sly smile, "What does it look like, partner! I'm you! I have to say that you've done a great job for a beginner!"

Holly yells out, strongly, "I would never do this! This can't be my doing!"

Demon Holly asks, while pointing at Holly's clawed hands, "Then, explain why your claws aren't only drenched in blood, but the furs of both Tiger and Hare!" True to her demonic counterpart's word, Holly looks at her claws and she not only sees blood, but pieces of Tiger's and Hare's furs were mixed into them.

Holly says, in a horror filled whisper, "It…can't be…! No! I couldn't have…I couldn't…"

Demon Holly says, with a dark demonic sinister grin, "That's right, Holly! You're the one who killed them! You've killed your brothers, sisters, foster father, friends, and Genki! You've killed them all! You're slowly turning into a killer demon like me!"

Holly says, in a horror filled tone, "No! I can't…!" Holly then yells out, with all of her might, "NO!" Then, the next thing that happens, Holly wakes up on a chair in a bit of sweat and breathing hard. Holly then finds herself on a chair, in her female Obelisk Blue uniform without her blue boots near a bed that laid a sleeping Genki without his black and blue Obelisk Blue trench coat covering his dark blue shirt and both of his upper arms bandaged. Holly then looks at her clawed hands, which weren't drenched in blood like it did in her dream. Holly thinks in her mind, "I'm in Genki's room!" Holly then thinks in her mind, with a relieved sigh, "It was only a nightmare!" Earlier on, Yukina healed Genki's wounds that he received from the demonized Holly in her Divine Warrior form, but Genki didn't regain consciousness and believed to have exhausted his energy, but for those who know Genki who often calls himself 'Mr. Energy' really well, especially Holly, were really worried about him. Holly feared greatly that she must have really done serious damage and blamed herself for this, but surprisingly for her, no one really blamed her for it. Koenma often joked that Genki is somewhat similar to Yusuke and Davis even though Yusuke is more stronger than the two, Davis seems to be more civil and smarter and Genki being more light-hearted and determined; they're really stubborn, too reckless for their own good, don't even think first about their own actions, and would do anything for someone they really care for even put themselves in great danger in the process.

Holly thinks in her mind, plainly while looking at the sleeping Genki, "Well, he's always been like this: putting his life over others, especially me!" Holly says in her mind, while looking at her hands, "He doesn't realize that being with me will only put himself in danger. I could have nearly killed Genki when my demon blood took over my mind. As I said earlier, Genki always puts others first, then himself!" Just then, Holly heard a slight groan coming from the sleeping Genki, who turned on his right side, facing her while noticing the small sweat coming from his forehead. Holly thinks in her mind, surprised, "Genki…he's sweating…in his sleep…!" Holly slowly goes to places her hand to swipe away the sweat and then, she heard thumping of sorts. As she wiped the sweat away from Genki's forehead, the thumping noise got louder and louder. Holly thinks in her mind, curiously, "What's that noise! It's coming from Genki! This thumping…it's like I'm hearing his…heartbeat! That never happened before…unless…well my hearing as well as my other senses has increased ever since I turned back into a hanyou…" Just then, a very pleasant and delicious scent came to Holly's nose and she thinks in her mind, "What's this…? This scent…it's coming from…Genki…but why…?" As she kept listening to Genki's heartbeat as well as breathing in his scent, Holly was getting odd 'thoughts' in her head that she has never thought off and it was increasing her inner heat and felt an abnormal craving coursing through her veins. Holly thinks in her mind, worriedly, "What's happening to me?" Holly then slowly moves closer to Genki's sleeping form as she unconsciously opens her mouth, hungrily, and her fangs grew a bit longer, aiming towards a spot on Genki's neck. Soon enough, Genki's moans got louder as it woke Holly from her stupor and made her jump from her chair and away from Genki's sleeping form as her fangs returned normal sized. Holly thinks in her mind, horrified, "What was I? What in the world was I planning to do just now! It was like I was planning on eating Genki!"

Just then, a demonic version of Holly's voice booms out from her mind, in a dark demonic tone, "You couldn't have been anymore wrong, Holly!"

Holly nearly jumped at that voice and the voice calls out, in a dark demonic tone, "No one can hear me except for you, Holly! I'm in your mind!"

Holly asks, mentality, "What do you want and who are you?"

The demonic voice rings out, in a dark demonic serious tone, "I'm your other half, Holly! Your demonic half! I was born around the same exact time that you were born!"

Holly says, lowly, "My demonic half!"

Holly's demon half, Demon Holly, says, in a dark demonic serious tone, "That's right! You were too weak to handle Daibound on your own! You had to be used as a shield to protect Zorc from your sister's attacks! I couldn't just stand there and let that happen, so I had to make sure that Zorc knows who he's dealing with, so I helped you out! You should be grateful, but thanks to your weakness, Zorc got away!"

Holly says, in a serious tone, "I couldn't just let you do whatever you want with my body! True, Zorc was pure evil, but I refuse to have my claws used as tools to take a life no matter how evil a person is!"

Demon Holly says, in a dark demonic snort, "That's why you're weak, but that's beside the point! I just wanted to let you know that just now, you weren't going to eat that human boy that you're so fond of, so you have nothing to worry about!"

Holly yells out, in a serious tone, "What do you mean by 'not going to eat him'! I felt an abnormal hunger coursing through my veins coming towards Genki!"

Demon Holly chuckles and she says, with a dark demonic sly tone, "Oh I assure you that it wasn't food that you're after! It's just that you're in the heat!"

Holly asks, perplexed, "In the heat! What does that mean!"

Holly's demonic counterpart says, with a dark demonic sly tone, "Well, you've heard about the birds and the bees, right? Well, you're in the mating season!"

Holly asks, a bit confused, "Mate? You mean like animals or monsters?"

Demon Holly replies, with a dark demonic plain tone, "Somewhat? It is a time that usually happens in the spring or summer for young demons that are similar to human teenagers. The time that's ripe for young demons to go mate. I do believe that Zera or Kenochi haven't told you about the demonic birds and the bees! You see, during the time of the heat, young demons and half-demons as well, like you, have their hormones and whatnot increased to unbearable levels, thus showing their bodies need to mate with another of the opposite gender. Demons usually mate with their own kinds or they usually rape humans of the opposite gender to satisfy their need."

Holly yells out, disgusted, "Oh, that's sick!"

Demon Holly says, plainly, "That's how many demons are, my dear! They don't think highly of them except to satisfy their needs, but demons like our father are among the few that fall in love with humans like our mother and mate with them for actual love. Right now, you're feeling the need to mate with that human boy!"

Holly gains a huge flush in her cheeks and she says, in a bit annoyed, "Me! Do THAT with Genki! Yeah right! As if I'd think to do that kind of fashion to him!"

Demon Holly says, with a dark demonic sly tone, "What's the big deal! It's not like he's shorter than you anymore and over the years, he's gotten taller and more 'manly'! I mean, you do love him, right!"

Holly's flush gets even darker as her emotions turn into deeper embarrassment and annoyance and Demon Holly says, with a dark demonic giggle, "Don't lie! Remember, I'm part of you and plus, that huge flush is a dead giveaway!"

Holly yells out, annoyed, "Cut it out! Besides, I don't even think that…"

Demon Holly says, with a dark demonic sly tone, "That what! That you believe that he's too young for you or is it that he'd be interested in a 'lowly dirty half-breed' like you!"

Holly yells out, in an annoyed tone unlike her, "You shut up! You don't know what you're talking about! Besides, Genki isn't like that at all!"

Demon Holly says, in a dark demonic plain tone, "You're right! He's not like the other humans that tormented you during your childhood! When he first found out about your demonic heritage, he wasn't disgusted about it! In fact, he's the first human with the exception of our mother that has ever cared for you and that didn't change when he found out about you being a hanyou!"

Holly argued, plainly, "It's not even proper to do that kind of stuff before marriage!"

Demon Holly says, with a dark demonic sly tone, "That kind of logic is irrelevant in the demon world, my dear! Oh! You may want to take care of your situation or disastrous effects of your animalistic instincts will go out of control!"

Holly asks, curiously, "What do you mean 'go out of control'?"

Demon Holly says, with a dark demonic sly tone, "Well, you've got to either mate with your human or go out of control with your primal demon instincts take you over. Demons that don't mate during this time of heat go really out of control and most likely that they will rape any member of the opposite gender before they regain control as well as possibly kill, maim, or do other horrible things to others in their path."

Holly says, horrified while looking at her claws, "Kill? Not going to happen!"

Demon Holly says, with a dark demonic sly tone, "You can't stop it even with that old geezer making that sword that will keep your demonic blood in check! So, you might as well get used it! Oh and by the way, if you do have your demonic instincts taken over, then it will be really bad for you and that human of yours!"

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

Demon Holly says, in a dark demonic serious tone, "You see, when a hanyou mates with a human the term 'death do us part' comes into effect! There are three mating ritual marks that a hanyou may give to the human that he or she wants to mate with: the commitment mark, the engagement mark, and the final mating mark. The commitment mark is given to the human's right arm with your fangs and it means that the human and hanyou are in a commitment relationship in demon terms kind of like the human relationship of boyfriend and girlfriend. The engagement mark is given to the human's right shoulder while the final mating mark that seals the deal and is placed on the human's neck. Of course, female hanyous like yourself can't be pregnant if you mate with a human until the final mating mark is installed and the same with the male hanyous can't get a human female pregnant unless she gets the final mating mark. But there's a catch, the human that you mate with has to trust you unconditionally with his or her heart and life and loves you the same way that he or she loves you or the human that you mate with and doesn't trust you will be killed by your demonic aura. However, if the human that you mate with trusts you then he or she will become a hanyou that he or she mated with. For an example, if you mate with your human, then he'll become a dog hanyou like you!"

Holly says, in a serious tone, "But Genki is a Spirit Detective and they kill demons!"

Demon Holly says, in a dark demonic serious tone, "Correction evil demons and besides, they were demons working with Yusuke Urameshi when he was Spirit Detective."

Holly says, in a serious and solemn tone, "Even if I mated with Genki, there's Ane-chan's declaration that once the Dark Signers, the Orichalcos, and the Light of Destruction are defeated, I as well as Inuyasha, Melody, and Megumi will have to leave this time and never have anything to do with them especially Genki, so the whole mating process is pretty irrelevant! Besides, as my demonic guardian, Ane-chan can remove the mating marks from Genki, cutting my connection with him!"

Demon Holly says, with a dark demonic sly tone, "I don't see the problem! I mean your human isn't a priestess like the one that your brother has his eye on and unlike that miko, your human is trusting of you and not even once has treated you like a dog! Genki has treated you with the respect that you deserved, loyal, braver than any human boy even when you first met him when he was twelve, and doesn't take sides like that miko has done! Plus, I think that your sister doesn't have a problem with Genki like she does with that miko!"

Holly argues, "Also, there's also the fact that he's underage for marriage in this time until he's twenty!"

Demon Holly says, with a shrug, "So what! You can put the commitment mark on him until he's old enough to have the other two mating marks on him!"

Holly yells out, in a strong tone, "I will never intentionally hurt Genki much less kill him with this mating process!"

Demon Holly says, with a dark demonic annoyed tone, "Haven't you heard what I've said earlier, girl! Besides, he pretty much feels the same way that you do for him! I'll reply the words he said while I was in control!" Soon enough, Genki's voice booms out in Holly's mind, "Holly, before, remember when you hate your claws because of the pain and suffering that they've brought on innocent people when you were with the Orichalcos and I said that I trusted you with those claws of yours with my life! I still meant it now and if I leave you, right now, then…I wouldn't live with myself if anything bad happens to you! You're not a heartless monster! Even if you're human, demon, and half-demon, to me you're still the same girl that I met in the Monster Rancher world! The same kind, caring, loving, strong, and beautiful girl that I know and…love…!"

Holly was surprised by this declaration and couldn't help but believe that it's the truth. Holly says, looking at her clawed hands, "How…how could he…love me…! I…nearly kill him…more times than…I could count!" Just then, Holly hears the sound of thunder and lightning coming from outside as she turns to the window to see grey clouds hovering above the island. Holly thinks in her mind, "It looks like it's going to rain!" Holly then another groan coming from Genki as he slowly regains consciousness as she whips her eyes towards Genki, who had completed regaining consciousness as he slowly opens his eyes.

Genki says, weakly, "Holly…"

Holly says, while walking towards the bed, "Genki, you're awake! Are you o…?" When Holly got close, she noticed that her right hand were pointed at Genki and quickly retracted them away as she feels abnormal heat coming from within her.

Genki says, with a smile, "I'm fine now!" Genki then looks at his window to see rain coming down hitting his window and he says, plainly, "It's going to rain, real soon!" On the meanwhile, Holly breathes slowly as she places her hand on her forehead which had sweat on it and Holly thinks in her mind, perplexed, "Sweat!"

Just then, Demon Holly's voice booms out, in a dark demonic sly tone, "It looks like the heat is starting now!"

Holly thinks in her mind, horrified, "No! I have to leave right away or Genki will be in real danger! I have to find some way to prevent my primal instincts from taking over! Oh damn it! I can't sense Ane-chan's demon energy so I can't use Instant Transmission, so I can't teleport myself to her!" Holly says, walking towards the door, "I'll tell the others that you're awake!"

Genki says, while pointing at his window, "Wait! It's raining!" Holly then turns to see raining heavily outside as she breathes even more and continues to sweat while breathing in Genki's scent was not helping matters at all. Genki says, while getting off his bed, "It's getting real bad out there!"

Holly says, in a plain tone, "But I'm a half-demon now, so it wouldn't be that bad for me!" Just as Holly placed her hand onto the doorknob, Genki notices that Holly's face is covered with sweat and her breathing was heavier causing Genki to think, curiously, "Is Holly sick or something? She's covered in sweat and she's breathing more heavily than usual. Can hanyous even get sick?" Genki asks Holly, concerned tone in her voice, "Are you okay, Holly?"

Holly replies, plainly, "Yeah! Why wouldn't I be?"

Genki replies, with a plain tone, "Well, you are sweating a lot and you are breathing a lot heavier than usual."

Holly thinks in her mind, annoyed, "Damn it! He's noticed, but I can't let him know about my current condition! I don't want to hurt him anymore than I already have!" Holly says, in a plain tone, "Well…it's…been…!" Holly was now stuck since she's never been a very good liar and then notices Genki, nearing her and looking her over.

Holly says, while blushing and taking a step back, "Hey, what are you doing! I'm fine!"

Genki says, in a retort, "Well, from what I'm come from sweating and breathing a lot doesn't qualify as being 'fine', Holly! Now, hold still!" However, Holly tries to resist Genki from touching her or getting a good look at her, but with his new powers and strength as a Spirit Detective and her not wanting to hurt Genki, Holly has a much harder time than ever before and she knows that when Genki's mind is set on something, he doesn't stop. And she is proven right when he puts his hand on her neck and yelps out as plenty of Holly's sweat covers the palm of his hand. Genki shakes his hand and replies, a bit disgusted and concerned, "Holly, you are really hot and sweating more than a dog! Now, I know there is something wrong with you!"

Holly yells out, a bit annoyed, "There is nothing wrong with me!"

Genki tells Holly, sternly while grabbing her right wrist, "Well, what is it then? And I'm not going to let you leave until you tell me! I can't leave you in this condition if it happens to be very fatal to you!"

Holly thinks in her mind, plainly, "It's not me who you should be worrying about, Genki! Damn it, why can't you think about yourself for once!" Holly gives a loud mental moan because she knows that sooner or later, Genki will figure it out. And at this time, it is the later part and finding out 'the hard way' is what Holly is worried about. She decides there is no way out and she decides to tell him the truth.

Holly tells Genki, with a sigh, "Fine! Look, Genki, I'm…I'm in the heat right now."

Genki asks Holly, curiously, "The heat?" Genki then remembers his talks with Koenma and Botan, surprisingly, about this 'matter', his eyes widen, and he exclaims, stunned with a slight blush on his face, "Oh man! You mean THAT heat?"

Holly says, with a nod, "That's right! It is the time where my body wants to mate with a male and last time that I checked, you fit the bill! And if I don't mate, my primal demon instincts will take over and most likely, I would have raped a male! Now, I have to leave because I can't control myself for too long and I don't want you to be around on my lust crazed antics."

Genki asks Holly, curiously, "Is there a way to stop your 'heat' before it goes out of control?"

Holly replies, plainly, "There is only one way to stop it and I already told you what it is. So, let me go, Genki, I can't stand it if I hurt you!" Genki gets thinking that even if he let go, Holly might get out and any male in her way would get into trouble with her primitive demon mind at work. But the only way to stop it and Genki blushed when he got that idea into his mind.

Genki wonders in his mind, "The only way to stop Holly's heat would be if I…Whoa! That's too much to deal on! Could I really do THAT? But it will be the same of taking advantage of her in her condition and I don't want to do that! Of course, there's the possibly that Holly would easily get any male in her way!" For awhile, Genki thinks back when he was twelve years old and when he won the new Monster Rancher game back then and how it pulled him into the Monster Rancher world, meeting Holly and Suezo, learning about Moo and his Baddies, unlocking Moochi from his new CD game, meeting up with Golem, Tiger, and Hare, and all the battles with Moo and his Baddie army until his final destruction as well as helping Holly to be reunited with her foster human father, after freeing him from Moo's spirit.

Just then, a darker version of Genki's voice booms out from his mind, in a dark annoyed tone, "Oh come on, man! Are you really that dense!"

Genki says, in an annoyed tone and mentally, "Oh no! Not you again!"

Genki's darker counterpart, Dark Genki, tells him, in a dark serious tone, "Can't you get any clue that Holly really cares and loves you…a lot! She risked her life to save you from Zorc's demon, didn't she! Why don't you try to…!"

Genki yells at his darker counterpart, angrily, "…to what hurt her! No way! Holly isn't that kind of girl and I will not use her 'condition' to do THAT! I don't want to hurt her like the actions of Dartz and the Light of Destruction did!"

Dark Genki yells out, with a dark serious and sly tone, "Come on already! Stop treating Holly as if she's a little girl, when she's the one, who's the oldest! Okay, she is a lot like 'Miss Proper' and stuff, but she really loves you and deep down, she really wants to be with you and only you!" Dark Genki then says, in a dark serious tone, "Besides, think about the male humans that will be in Holly's path when her animalistic desires! Do you really want that to happen! Do you really think that Holly would enjoy having her claws drenched with more human blood! She's guilty enough from her days with the Orichalcos, now imagine how she'll feel when she sees human blood on her claws! Do you really want to do that to her!"

Genki says, while trying to retort, "But…I…"

Dark Genki says, in a dark serious tone, "Do you know what's she's thinking from the inside of her heart! She believes that she'll hurt you, since in her mind, she remembers on how she was hated and disgusted by the humans as a young hanyou child and that you may not want a 'lonely filthy hanyou' like her! She feels that mating with you will cause harm for you than her! You know how she's like: worrying about others than herself!"

Just then, Holly's voice calls out, while groaning, "Gen…Genki, let go…of…me…!" Genki broke out of his conversion of his darker half and sees Holly, sweating heavily, while panting and groaning erotically as her fangs and claws slightly grew.

Genki says, worriedly, "Holly, what…?"

Holly says, in a groan, "It's the heat! I'm…slowly…losing control…of my…self…!" As she groans, dark violet demonic markings slowly appear on Holly's face and her golden eyes were slowly glowing red. Holly says, while groaning, "G…Genki…please…let…me go…I…don't want to hurt…" However, she doesn't get to finish when Genki kisses her on the lips and she blushes as he moves his arms while freeing her wrist, to wrap them around her slender waist, pulling her closer to him. As she feels his lips on hers, Holly's demonic marks soon disappears and her eyes returned to golden and while unable to resist the feeling, placing her hands onto Genki's shoulders as she returns the kiss with the same passionate causing the two of them to mate their tongues and taste each other's mouths and saliva. After a few minutes, the two of them release from the kiss and Holly says, in surprise while feeling her 'heat' fading, "Genki, why would you…?"

Genki says, with a loving smile not seen from him, "I wanted to show you how much you mean to me! To show you how much I love you!"

Holly says, lowly while looking away in shame, "After everything I've done to you…!"

Genki tells Holly, "Holly…"

Holly says, while tears were coming down, "It's because of me that you were nearly killed today! I know that you don't blame me, Genki, but I…ever since I've had my demonic powers brought back to me…it feels like I'm slowly becoming a bloodthirsty killer with no feelings! I can't…even turn back into a human! You're better off without me!"

Genki says, lifting her chin for her to look at him, "Holly, look at me!" Holly looks up and was a bit surprise at Genki's height, which she was now as tall as his shoulders, which she didn't pay much attention to it before now. Holly was beginning to see that Genki has indeed grew up from that twelve year old boy that she remembered very well. Soon enough, Genki's voice rings out, "Holly, what happened earlier wasn't and I do mean was not YOUR fault! Please don't think that you're poison to me! You're not a bloodthirsty killer! For one, a bloodthirsty killer would never shed tears! It proves that you're still the same girl that I know and love!" Genki moves his hand to Holly's face to wipe her tears away and he says, plainly, "So please don't worry about me so much! Plus, I love your hanyou look especially your ears."

Holly's dog ears twitched as they moved around and she says, surprised with a slight blush, "You like my ears. No human has ever said that to me with the exception of my mother, they just pull on it real hard while calling them 'ugly'."

Genki says, with a snort, "Well, those guys were real jerks if you ask me! They just don't know the real you like I do!"

Holly thinks in her mind, surprised, "He loves my ears! Is he just pitying me or just saying that to make me feel better!" Holly then asks, curiously, "Genki, do you love me as a human or a half-demon?"

Genki is surprised by that question and he replies, plainly, "Well, back before we knew about your hanyou heritage, I did have a bit of a crush on you and when I was pushed back into this world for the first time, I didn't feel as happy here than I did back in the Monster Rancher world for a year. Sure, I got to hang out with my friends here, but I was completely happy as I was with our friends, especially you. I felt as if a big hole was in my heart and for the second time when I returned back to the Monster world, the hole was filled by seeing you. Then, when I was pulled out of that world, I've tried endless to get back! Get back to you! For a year, when Pegasus came to my home with your brother and somehow he found out about me entering the Monster world by my CD game, he told me that he found a way to get me back to the Monster world to bring you over to my world. I was overjoyed about that I would see our friends and you again! Of course, when I found out about your demonic heritage, I was surprised to know that you weren't from the Monster Rancher world, that Pacifier Breath's father's goons sent you there, but my feelings for you didn't change at all. Then, when Dartz took you under his claws, I was heartbroken to know you're doing all those horrifying acts, but I knew that you never wanted to do those things and you were brainwashed. I hated Dartz so much for what he made you to do as well as the Light of Destruction for what he's done to my friends that I wanted to march to him while killing him." Holly was surprised by Genki's words and Genki says, with a small smile, "Yes, Holly, I wanted to kill that bastard for what he's done to you and the other innocent people, but the other insured that Dartz will pay for his crimes and I realized that you wouldn't want me to have blood on my hands, even though the Dartz that controlled you isn't the real deal, but the Orichalcos version. When I found out about your friend, NekitaKariba, and her being another Chosen Hanyou with her own Millennium Item to turn you back to who you really are, I was relieved that you were away from that bastard's control. I'm sorry that you had to go through that, Holly. I'm really am!"

Holly is amazed even more at Genki's words and she asks, curiously, "You loved me…before…why didn't you…?"

Genki says, with a sad smile, "…well, even though, I was so high strong…I felt like I couldn't compare to the other guys that flirted with you and I figured that you wouldn't be interested since I was younger than you."

Holly had a surprised look on her face after hearing that statement and Holly says, plainly, "Baka! I know you are younger than me and you may feel like you are a bother to me, but you aren't. I love you, I always have. I want to be with you, and only you. Yes there are men…whoa…really older who might flirt with me but I have never returned the affection, nor will I. I was only being polite, and that's all!"

Genki says, with a smile, "Thank you, that means lot to me! I want to be with you, Holly! I want to be by your side forever!"

Holly says, in a surprised tone, "You're saying…that…you want to be my mate! If you do, then there's no going back, you know!"

Genki says, with a smile, "I know! Pacifier Breath and Botan told me about the mating rule! I meant it, Holly! I want to be by your side forever and I have to wait until I'm twenty to marry you, then so be it. I'll be by your side if you only allow me to be there and if you do, I promise to stay by your side, no matter what, even if you become a full fledged demon."

Holly says, amazed, "You would?"

Genki says, with his classic grin, "Of course! I've never broken a promise to you and I'm not going to start now!"

Holly says, with a loving tone unlike her, "Genki…!" Soon after, the two of them embrace each other and they look at each other as they engaged in a passionate kiss for the next minute. However, as they continue to kiss each other, Genki gently rubs Holly's back with the tip of his fingers while Holly's hands roam Genki's chest and she sticks them under his shirt while feeling his perfectly muscular chest for a 15-year-old going to 16-year-old boy being careful to but to gaze Genki's skin with her claws.

Holly thinks in her mind, with a slight blush, "Wow! I never thought that Genki's chest would feel so strong!" After a half an hour, Genki unties Holly's red hair ribbon and moves it away so her long silver hair to run down free against her back while throwing it away. After the two's lips move away from each other, golden and brown were facing each other while their foreheads leaned on each other. As the two of them look each other in the eyes, the two of them see the love in their eyes and it causes their hearts to start to race as if they've done this before. Within her, Holly felt her 'heat' comes back slowly, wanting to take Genki as her own, and she says, while slowly breathing, "Genki…"

Genki then lowers his lips to Holly's, taking it for his while feeling the shape of her curves and form on his hand causing Holly to flush even more. Holly then stands high on her toes while deepening the kiss and wrapping her arms around Genki, burying her fingers in his hair. Genki roams his hands over Holly's back while gently massaging it. While feeling his touch, Holly also felt more of her 'heat' and arousal coming back to her while her body was screaming for more of Genki's touch, but even though, Genki ensured of his trust for her, she was scared of what her animalistic behavior would do to him if she let herself go.

While making out, Holly's demonic half yells at her, in a dark demonic annoyed tone, "Why are the hell are you holding back for, girl!"

Holly tells her, seriously, "I know that Genki trusts and loves me, but I'm still a bit afraid of hurting him with my animalistic desires!"

Demon Holly says, in a dark demonic annoyed tone, "Honestly! Hanging around those humans in that village has made you soft! Genki has proven over and over that he's not some little kid even when he was twelve and thirteen years old!"

While kissing, Genki felt that Holly was struggling to suppress her demonic desires while not wanting to hurt him, so he moves his lips from hers to her neck and collarbone gently causing light moans of pleasure to escape her lips as she feels Genki's hands running up and down her sides.

Holly thinks in her mind, while moaning, "Wow…! But I…I shouldn't…I don't want to hurt him! With his touch, I can't help myself but wanting more!" Holly gently embraces Genki as he continues to kiss her neck and starts to unbutton her vest, without any attempts to stop him, and throwing it away, revealing her black sleeveless shirt underneath. As she feels his fingers under her shirt, Holly feels her primal demon instincts overriding her mind, until she got a very important fact that she's forgotten over the years. In the times that she's known Genki, not once has he ever intentionally broke any of his promises to her or their friends or comrades. He promised to stay by her side forever, even if she becomes a full-fledged demon, a creature without any sense of mercy or remorse, which is the opposite of her personality. Holly, herself, wasn't giving Genki a chance for him to fulfill his promise to her and was indirectly hurting him by her little trust in him or herself. So, in an action that you would NEVER expect a 'proper' girl like her, Holly then pushes Genki away from her with her demonic and Divine Warrior strength and to his surprise, Holly pounces onto him like a fierce lioness onto a defenseless impala, taking him to his bed while Holly is on top of him with a loving, playful, and lustful grin unlike her before.

Genki says, confused, "Holly…?" He was then cut off when Holly's lips were pressed on his, kissing him passionately and a bit hungrily and making their tongues mate with each other. Holly then puts her hands under Genki's shirt and gently rubs his muscular frame under his shirt. When they release from the kiss, Holly then gently moves to Genki's left ear and gently nibbles on it for a minute. Soon after, she kisses down Genki's neck and collarbone causing slight moans of pleasure to come from Genki's mouth while taking in his scent. While kissing his neck, Holly then gently removes Genki's shirt from his body causing her to blush even further to see his pretty muscular chest for a 15-year-old teenage boy.

Holly thinks in her mind, with a flush and amazed, "Wow! I never noticed Genki's body to be like this! It's so perfect! I know that he's younger than me, but still…! But then again, with all the fights with Moo and his Badie army along with his job as a Spirit Detective while under Lord Koenma and his harsh training with Master Genkai, I shouldn't be so surprised!" Holly then leans forward to gently kiss all over his chest, causing Genki to moan in pleasure.

Genki thinks in his mind, "Whoa! I can't believe that Holly is doing this, even if she's in the heat!"

Dark Genki tells Genki, with a dark sly tone, "What did I tell you? She really loves you! Just look into her eyes and see that she wants you! Why disappoint the love of your life when she has eyes only for you?" When Holly stops gently kissing his chest and moves over to look into his eyes, Genki sees within Holly's golden eyes, a deep love and lust for him as well as devotion. Genki gently embraces her and passionately kisses her again on the lips. As they are locked together in their kiss, Genki turns them around with Holly lying down on the bed and Genki hovering above. While making out, Holly's body was screaming for more Genki's touch as she feels his lips kissing a trail down her neck and collarbone once more, causing her to moan erotically while getting more aroused and her fangs grew a bit more in length and getting sharper. While kissing her neck, Genki is getting more aroused by Holly's erotic filled moans and on instinct alone, gently removes her black shirt, revealing her sexy feminine frame with light pink bra covering much of her voluptuous breasts.

Genki thinks in his mind, stunned with a wide blush, "Whoa! Holly is so beautiful! I shouldn't be looking, but I can't stop to look at her! She is so perfect! Of course, while brainwashed by that first class creep, Dartz, she has been training so hard to kill Urameshi and Higurashi as well as the Light of Destruction."

Holly asks him, with a wide blush of her own, "Genki? Is something wrong?"

Genki replies, plainly and lovingly, "Boke! There's nothing wrong, Holly! You are so beautiful! You're perfect!" (A/N: Boke is another Japanese word for stupid or idiot like baka or ahou)

Holly says, with a major flush, "You mean that?"

Genki says, while placing his hand onto Holly's right cheek, "Of course! I'd never lie to you!" Genki then pulled Holly's head to his while placing his lips onto hers, again for another kiss and Holly moves her arms around his head, returning the kiss with equal passion while letting her primal demon instincts fully take her mind of as she puts her hands on Genki's chest feeling his muscles causing her to be more and more aroused. Just then, Genki kisses around her neck and collarbone again causing her to moan out, breathlessly, "Genki…!" Soon enough, Genki puts his hands behind Holly's back, takes off her bra, and starts to kiss down her body while licking her navel. He then kisses up her body, takes her left breast nipple into her mouth, and starts to gently suck her breast nipple while using his right hand to massage her left breast causing Holly's fangs to grow even more as she moans in pleasure. Holly loudly moans out, in pure pleasure, "Genki…that feels…so good…I…keep going please…please keep going…" Holly puts her hands on Genki's head and she gently massages his scalp. Within a few minutes, Genki stops licks and sucking her breast nipple and locks his lips with hers in another passionate kiss. When they release from the kiss, the two of them look at each other and Genki asks Holly, "How does that feel?"

Holly replies, breathlessly, "It was so incredible!" With her demonic and Divine Warrior strength, Holly then flip them over with herself hovering over Genki, surprising him, again, and she asks Genki, in a serious tone in her voice, "Genki, I know that you're not one to break a promise, but I need to hear it from you again! Do you really promise to be by my side as my mate?"

Genki says, in a plain and loving tone, "Of course! I told you that before! I'd love to be your mate, Holly! The reason why that I'm saying this is that I love you, Holly whether you're human, demon, or half-demon!"

Holly says, with a loving smile, "I know! I just wanted to hear that from you!" Holly's Millennium Earrings, which were still on her ears, glows golden and Holly says, while looking into Genki's eyes, "Genki, do you really trust me?"

Genki says, with a smile while not noting Holly's glowing earrings, "Of course, Holly! I trust you with my life, my heart, and my soul! I want to be by your side forever!" Genki holds his right arm to Holly's face and he says, with a loving smile, "I'm totally yours, now and forever. Bite me as hard as you want! I trust and love you!" Just then, Genki feels something wet hit him in the arm and he sees tears coming down Holly's eyes and Genki asks, with a concerned look, "What's wrong, Hol! You're crying!"

Holly says, while wiping the tears from her eyes with a slight smile, "No, silly! I'm crying that you trust me that must after everything that I've done to you! I know that you don't blame me, Genki, but I feel angry at myself for allowing myself to get brainwashed by Dartz and putting you through all that. Now, hearing that you really trust and love me, really puts my worries at ease." Holly then says, with a loving smile, "I'm going to make a mental link between the both of us, so we'll have our own private talks!" Holly then places her hands onto Genki's arm, opens her mouth to reveal the point of her fangs give a slight glow of red demonic energy while her claws did the same as her Millennium Earrings is still glowing, and sinks her fangs and claws into the skin of Genki's right arm, hard, causing Genki to winch in slight pain, but tries not to let Holly notice it. While her fangs and claws were in his arm, Holly sends some of her demonic energy into Genki's arm. Genki gives out a slight groan as he feels some of Holly's demon energy flow through his body and an image of Holly's demon father in his dog demon form forms over his arm. On the meanwhile, Genki could feel his mind being 'linked' to Holly's mind. When Holly is done, she removes her fangs and claws and Genki looks at his new 'tattoo' on his arm, which was the image of Inu no Taisho in his dog form.

Holly tells Genki, with a sly loving tone unlike her, "This is my special mark. It is filled with my demonic energy and emits an aura to anyone with demon blood to know that you are mine. This is what the mark of commitment looks like, think, of this as those commitment rings that you humans wear to signal a 'boyfriend and girlfriend' relationship. Right now, in demon terms, you're my boyfriend and don't worry, I won't enter your mind through our 'link'."

Genki tells Holly, with a loving smile, "I think it's pretty cool! Even this mark is better and I don't mind being yours."

Holly says, with a loving smile, "And I'm yours as well!" Holly then says, with a sly loving and seductive tone unlike her, "Now, koi, how about if we finish what we've started!"

Genki says, with a loving smile, "Sure!" Soon enough, the two of them continue to 'make out' as they gently remove each other's clothes while not noticing the rain storm outside.

(The next day; within Spirit World)

At Spirit World and in Koenma's office, we find our spirit world prince, in his toddler vision, going through some powers in his desk. Just then, a buzz came from his intercom. Koenma presses the button and says, "Yes!"

A feminine voice calls out from the intercom, "Prince Koenma, the visitor that you wish to see is here."

Koenma replies, "Bring him here!" Just then, the doors open up and a male figure comes through the door.

This male was a tall light-skinned man with messy, light-blond while almost pale hair and gray eyes that are shadowed by his hat. He wears traditional Japanese wooden sandals and a bucket hat that shadowed his eyes. He also wears a dark green kimono top tied by a black sash and pants, topped with a black haori coat with a white diamond pattern along its bottom half and in his right hand was a tan colored cane.

The man says, with a lopsided grin, "You must be Prince Koenma!"

Koenma says, with a smile, "Indeed I am and I know you as well Kisuke Urahara!"

The man, Kisuke, says, with a smile and a serious tone, "Indeed am I! I know that you wouldn't call me here from my shop if you'd have something to talk to me about."

Koenma says, in a plain tone, "I do! You remember Lady Izayoi."

Kisuke says, with a wide smile, "You mean Little Izzy! I haven't seen her in a good while! I still remember when she was a little girl that she finished her Soul Reaper Jutsu training when she was only seventeen years old!"

Koenma says, in a nod, "That's right! She's grown up and had four children, half-demon children."

Kisuke says, with a sigh, "I know! The last time that I've seen the little tykes was when they barely a month old, when helping Izzy seal away their Kekkai Genkai and Saiyan DNA abilities as well as their Soul Reaper abilities! I'd like to visit to play with them and train them, but never got the chance! My guess was that she believed them to be too young!"

Koenma says, in a plain tone, "I'll explain everything and believe me, it's not going to be pretty!" Soon enough, Koenma begins to tell Kisuke about everything that has happen from a year ago.

(Later that very same morning; at the harbor)

In the harbor at Academy Island, we find Yolei and Kari, wearing female Obelisk Blue uniforms, and by the lighthouse in the harbor with Yolei sitting down and Kari standing by the lighthouse. Both of them had solemn looks on their expressions. Yolei and Kari soon after learned from the rest of our heroes and heroines about Yusuke and his adventures as a Spirit Detective, the Odaiba Digidestined and all of the information that they needed to know about the current situation. They were amazed to learn what they learned, but they were horrified to learn their roles in the Society of Light.

Yolei thinks in her mind, horrified, "How could I let this happen? How could I allow that madman to get access to the Digi-World like that? Now, both the Real and Digital World are threatened even more than before! And I helped him! How can I call myself a Digidestined, a protector of both worlds?"

Kari fell to her knees and started to cry her eyes out, horrified at the cold and ruthless monster that she had transformed into, and she thinks, sadly, "Why? Why didn't I fight back against his control? How could I have become such a cold and heartless monster? I ruthless brainwashed many people! It's my fault they are part of the Society of Light and under Sartorius's control! How could I have done such heartless things! How could I've let this happen! And I also helped him hurt TK and the rest of our friends and helped him in certain ways to get them brainwashed as well!" Just then, Tai's image appears in her mind and Kari thinks in her mind, solemnly and angrily, "Tai…oh Tai…! He's with that monster, Dartz, all thanks to those two traitors! I hope that they stay away from me!"

Just then Hawkmon flies down besides Yolei and Yolei states, surprised, "Hawkmon?"

Just then a familiar female voice calls out, "Yolei?" Yolei and Koji look to the source to see most of our heroes and heroines with them.

Yolei asks them, "What are all of you doing here?"

Davis says, with a sly grin, "What do you think, Yolei?"

Mimi tells her, with a kind smile, "We're here to check up on you and make sure that you are okay."

Yolei asks, stunned, "You were worried about me?"

TK tells Yolei, with a kind tone, "Why wouldn't we be worried about you, Yolei?"

Yolei says, solemnly, "After all of the terrible things that I did and helping that monster get access to the Digital World."

Davis tells Yolei, with a serious tone, "No way, Yolei! You shouldn't blame yourself for anything that you did under that asshole's control."

Sayu says, with a nod, "Daisuke is right, Yolei. Personally, I know how you feel. I felt it was my fault that all of you were under the control of that jerk and I couldn't forgive myself. Even though I know that demon in human clothing was controlling my mind and emotions, I can't help to feel guilty even now, but I know that Davis and the others are right."

TK tells Kari, with a smile, "See, Kari, we're all here for you, including me most of all. I promise that I will never that vile cult and that I will be here for you."

Kari asks TK, surprised, "Do you really mean that, TK?"

TK tells Kari, with a smile and loving and caring tone, "With all of my heart, Kari. I really care for you and I will fight to the ends of the Earth to keep you safe."

Kari says, her eyed shedding a few tears of happiness, "Oh, TK…!" Then unexpectedly Kari kisses TK on the lips and wraps her arms around his back and shoulder while locked in the kiss. Soon enough, TK returns the kiss and the two of them become locked in a passionate kiss, mating their tongues together and their wrapped around each other loving. The others give warm smiles about this and Davis says, with a sly grin, "Geez, it's about damn time too!"

After a minute or so, the two of them release from the kiss and Sora and Matt walked closer with Sora saying, solemnly, "Kari, I'm…!"

Kari says, with a nasty glare, "I hope that for your sake, Takenouchi, because I don't want to hear it coming from you!"

Matt says, pleadingly, "Kari, I know that we screwed up, but we're…!"

Kari yells at Matt, angrily, "Save it, asshole! It's because of you two that my brother is under the control of that monster, Dartz! Just leave me alone! BOTH OF YOU!" With that, Kari then marched off while pushing Sora and Matt out of away while the others look at her retreating back.

Davis tells Sora and Matt, nastily, "Why don't you two just leave her alone! You two have done enough damage for this lifetime!"

Matt says, seriously, "I understand what we've done was wrong, but…!"

Jun yells at Matt, angrily, "Oh so now, you think that! What happened before, you Casanova!" Matt winches at Jun's tone and Shippo says, winching, "Oh Harsh!"

Gatomon says, plainly, "I'll go after her!"

BlackGatomon tells Gatomon, "Be careful!" Gatomon nods as she dashes away to the direction to where Kari left and Ukyo says, in a plain tone, "We better find out if Genki or Ryoga are awake now!"

Kari asks, curiously, "What happened to Genki?"

Kagome tells Kari, "Well, remember what we told you about Inuyasha's and his sisters' tendencies to go 'full demon' whenever their lives are in danger without the power of Tetsusaiga with them to hold their demon blood from going amuck! Well, yesterday, a piece of a past enemy of Yugi, Zorc, came with a new monster and all of our super-powered allies fought with them and Holly while in demon form brutally killed him, but nearly killed Genki at the process. With Ryoga, Ranma lured into a fight where Ryoga nearly lost his life."

Akane says, with a snort, "I would have really appreciated if Ranma would have just killed him, but with him being a Jinchuriki, it would have been really bad!"

Keiko says, in a plain tone, "Right now, Ryoga is still sleeping and Holly is staying with Genki until he wakes up after feeling guilty for hurting him while a full demon."

Miroku says, in a serious tone, "It's kind of familiar, you know, it's the same whenever Inuyasha is a full demon! He fears that one day as one, he'll hurt or even kill Kagome, but Kagome stayed by his side no matter what."

Keisuke says, with a sly smile, "Also, knowing Genki, who doesn't know the meaning of the word 'fear' and happens to be good friends with Holly, he'll stay with her even if Holly's claws would end his life."

Yuka asks, curiously, "Could it be that Genki really loves Holly to risk his life to be with her?"

NekitaKariba says, in a plain tone, "That must be it! No human that I know would do something that reckless!"

Keisuke says, with a sly smile, "Then, you don't know Genki really well!"

Danielle says, with a smile, "Yeah! Risking his life is one of his specialties!"

Shikamaru says, in his usual tone, "Well, it's going to be a real drag if the feeling is mutual for Holly as well or have you forgotten about Zera."

Eri yells out, while smacking her forehead, "Oh right! I totally forgot about 'Lady No-heart'!"

Sango says, with a solemn sigh, "Zera made it perfectly clear that once the Light of Destruction and our enemies are gone, then she'll take away Inuyasha and his sisters from us."

Kenochi says, with a sigh, "And Ane-ue is still as stubborn as ever! She's not going to change her mind."

Ayumi says, seriously, "I'm actually surprised that someone like her actually fell in love!"

Hikari says, in a plain tone, "There's got to be a way to go around that rule."

Amaya asks, curiously, "Couldn't either Inuyasha or Holly be emancipated?"

Kurama tells Amaya, in a serious tone, "It may be work, if there were both born humans, but I'm afraid that since they were born half-demons, it wouldn't work in Lady Zera's case. You see, underage humans who wish to be emancipated, are placed in trial and with the right amount of evidence, it's possible, but in the demon world, half-demons who mated, are indeed emancipated once the final mating mark is issued. Of course, Lady Zera may have taken precautions to ensure that doesn't happen with Inuyasha."

Kenochi says, with a sigh, "You've hit the nail on the head, Kurama! Ane-ue did when she sealed away Inuyasha's ability to give any mating marks until he finds a mate that she would provide off."

Miroku says, with a plain tone, "That would explain why Inuyasha went to great lengths to risk his memories of Kagome to get Zera to approve of her."

Jaden says, with a smile, "I've got an idea! Since Zera is a 'Chosen Youkai', she'll need to learn how to duel, so we'll…!"

Hiei tells Jaden, in a serious tone, "…if you think your little card game is going to change anything, detective, then you're even more naïve than I thought."

Atticus says, seriously, "But duels always work!"

Kurama says, with a shake of his head, "But not in the demon world, Atticus. Daiyokai decisions are settled based on the Daiyokai's feelings and can't be changed by those outside the Daiyokai family. Any action will be greatly punished by those in Spirit World higher ups."

Inu no Taishou says, in a sigh, "Kurama speaks the truth! A duel will never work in this case."

Izzy says, in a serious tone, "Anyway, we better check to see if Genki or Ryoga woke up, yet!"

(Within the school infirmary; sometime later)

In the school infirmary, we find Ms. Fontaine doing some physical testing on Ryoga Hibiki, who recently woke up while now sitting up on his bed with Genki, Holly, Tsunade, Jiraiya, Kakashi, Genkai, Anko, Guy, Genma, Soun, Kasumi, Yukio, and Cologne in the room.

Ms. Fontaine says, with a smile, "You're all better now, Ryoga."

Tsunade says, plainly, "That's right! With his Jinchuriki powers, he now possesses the same healing capabilities as Naruto." Soon after, the rest of our heroes and heroines came into the room and Inu no Taisho, Korvo, NekitaKariba, and Kenochi notices Genki's and Holly's scents were mixed.

Davis says, with a smile, "Hey Genki, you're feeling a lot better!"

Genki says, with a smile, "A lot better now!"

Ukyo asks Ryoga, "Are you feeling better, Ryoga?"

Ryoga says, in a plain tone, "No problems now!" On the meanwhile, Akane snorts while looking away from Ryoga as Zera came into the room while Holly got in front of Genki, protectively as she noticed Genki's scent and her eyes narrowed. Zera tells Holly, telepathically, "Baby sister, I would like to talk with you and your human, alone!" When she heard this, Holly gulps nervously while thinking, "Oh great!"

Kenochi thinks in his mind, nervously, "I hope that she's not going to do anything rash."

NekitaKariba thinks in her mind, worriedly, "Zera-onee-chan, please don't wreck this for Hol-chan with your hatred!" Just as Zera was going to leave with her sister and Genki, Ryoga asks Soun, curiously, "Mister Tendo, my beast told me something about Akane-san and her sisters that relates them as well as Kagome and her brothers to the Uchiha clan?" Soun gasps in shock and Kagome yells out, shocked, "The Uchiha clan!"

Akane yells at Ryoga, seriously, "What do you know!"

Soun says, with a sigh, "I should have known that they'll know about this."

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

Soun says, in a serious tone, "It's concerning the truth of your mother, Kimiko! You see, dear, your mother is from the same clan as Sasuke Uchiha and his brother."

Sasuke says, in a rare surprised tone, "You mean they're from the Uchiha clan."

Just then, Koenma appears with Botan and Kisuke and Koenma says, in a serious tone, "That's right, Sasuke!"

Davis and Genki yell at Koenma in unison, annoyed, "Damn it, Koenma! Would you please stop doing that!"

Holly says, with a sigh, "I have to admit that's getting annoying!"

Genkai looks at Kisuke and she says, in a rare surprised tone, "You're Kisuke Urahara!"

Kisuke says, with a smile, "It's been awhile, Genkai!"

Inu no Taisho says, with a smile, "Kisuke Urahara, how are you, my friend!"

Kisuke says, with a smile, "I've been hanging in there, of course."

Kenochi asks his father, curiously, "Father, you know this man?"

Inu no Taisho says, with a smile, "Indeed, Kenochi. This is Kisuke Urahara, he's a friend of Lady Izayoi and the man who sealed away your younger brother and sisters' Kekkai Genkai and Saiyan DNA abilities when they were infants and trained Lady Izayoi with her Soul Reaper Jutsus when she was seventeen years old." There were multiple gasps filled with surprise and Holly says, surprised, "He's the one, who trained my mother!"

Kisuke tells Holly, with a sly smile, "That's right! You must be one of Izzy's kids, Holly!"

Shippo says, perplexed, "Izzy?"

Kisuke says, with a sly smile, "It's a pet name for her. It's short for Izayoi. The last time, I've seen Holly and her siblings was when they were small infants! Now, she's grown up!"

Myoga says, seriously, "Kisuke, what has happened to you all these years!"

Kisuke says, with a sly smile, "Myoga, it's been a long time! I got caught up with my business."

Botan says, with a smile, "Kisuke is an owner of a shop in Spirit World called 'Urahara Shop', which sells Spirit Detective type items."

Davis says, plainly, "So that's where you got that weird stuff like that Demon Tracking Watch."

Kisuke says, with a sly smile, "Anything made for you spirit detectives, I'm your man, and I was the one, who got Izzy into inventing things and she has a great talent for that."

Sango says, with a sigh, "Well, this is where 'like mother, like daughter' comes into effect."

Kisuke asks, perplexed, "What do you mean?"

Kagome says, with a sigh, "Melody! She has a knack of inventing stuff, which works, and uses it on our enemies or her number one target…me!"

Kisuke says, whipping out a Japanese style fan while opening, "What do you know! My traits are genetic!"

Myoga says, seriously, "Kisuke, you wouldn't have come here if it was important."

Kisuke says, looking at Holly, "Yeah! It's to take Holly to my shop for training!"

Holly says, perplexed, "Training!"

Kisuke says, with nod, "Yep! Also, it's the matter of your new sword that Totosai made for you!"

Holly says, with a smile, "You mean it's finished!"

Inu no Taisho tells Holly, "That's right, my dear! I've asked Totosai once he's finished to have Botan take it to Kisuke's shop in Spirit World."

Akane tells Koenma, seriously, "Earlier, you and my dad confirmed with Bacon boy that my mother was from the Uchiha clan is that true!"

Koenma says, with a serious tone, "That's right! Your mother as well as Izari came from the Uchiha clan."

Kagome yells out, shocked, "Grandma Inzari came from the Uchiha clan?"

Koemna says, with a nod, "Yes, she was a Jonin at the time she left the Hidden Leaf Village. It was one day on a mission and her team was attacked by rogue ninja. Inzari stayed behind to get her team to safety and while she won against the ninja, the final rogue ninja had managed to push her off a high cliff and she was heavily injured. With those facts, her team thought she was dead. However, she barely managed to survive and she was picked up by a caravan traveling out of the Shinobi lands. Soon after, she recovered outside of the ninja lands and met Kagome's grandfather. She fell in love, married, and gave birth to Kagome's father, who in turn met Kagome's mother, fell in love, married, and gave birth to Kagome, Sota, and Sanosake."

Soun says, with a solemn tone, "And then, there was your mother, Kimiko Tendo former Kimiko Uchiha. She didn't like the fact that her fellow Uchihas' hatred of the village taken over themselves, so, she two left at the same time that Nodoka left the village and met me and Saotome after leaving the master in that cave for dead at a bar. We fell in love, married, and had Akane, Nabiki, and Kasumi as a matter of fact, it was the main cause of her death."

Akane asks, curiously, "What do you mean, dad?"

Soun says, in a serious tone, "Your mother was one of those other than Sasuke Uchiha and his brother as well as Madara Uchiha was to awaken her Mangekyo Sharingan."

Sasuke yells out, strongly, "You lie! There were three! Myself, my brother, and Madara were the only ones able to awaken Mangekyo Sharingan! Madara or Itachi would have mentioned to me that there would be a fourth!"

Soun tells Sasuke, in a strong tone unlike him, "The reason why Madara Uchiha didn't mention it was that Madara along with Orochimaru was the one, who killed her in cold blood!" Akane and Kasumi had horror filled looks on their faces and Akane says, horrified, "Mom was killed!"

Soun says, with a solemn tone, "That's right!"

Jiraiya says, in a serious tone, "Actually, this isn't the first time that Soun and I met! We met around when I carried Kimiko's dying body to the Tendo Dojo. I was amazed that Kimiko had the strength to stay alive with the wounds that she received. You see, Kimiko fought with Orochimaru while in his days in the Akatsuki and won, while Orochimaru faked his death, and then fought with Madara. In the fight, Madara was winning and with the poison that Orochimaru placed in her, made Kimiko weaker, and Madara delivered a fatal blow to her."

Kasumi says, worriedly, "I remembered the wounds on mother! We wondered who could have done this to her and when Nabiki went in to ask, mother died on the spot while saying…"

Akane says, in a dreaded whisper, "…watch out…for…that…man! Who would have thought that she was warning us about Madara Uchiha."

Koenma says, in a serious tone, "With her Mangekyo Sharingan, Kimiko was considered to be a thorn in Madara's side for his plans and figured to be eliminated by any means." On the meanwhile, Zera was thinking in her mind, seriously, "With the destruction of the Uchiha Clan, I'm getting the feeling that there's more to the story rather than just plain suspicion by the Leaf Village elders."

Kakashi says, with a smile, "Well, we don't have to worry about Madara and Orochimaru since they're no longer in this world."

Akane says, lowly and angrily, "I'd love to ring Madara's neck for what he's done!"

Koenma says, in a plain tone, "Now, for the time being, I would think that it would be best for Kagome, Sanosake, Akane, and Kasumi to be to train with the others in the ways of the ninja and when their Sharingan come, I'll have a special guest of mine to train them."

Kiba asks, curiously, "Special guest?"

Koenma calls out, "Come in!" Soon enough, through an opened window came and stood, Sasuke's older brother, Itachi Uchiha, without his Akatsuki robe, with a halo on top of his head.

Sasuke yells out, stunned, "Itachi!"

Itachi says, in his emotionless tone, "It's been awhile, Sasuke."

Ino tells Koenma, surprised, "You brought HIM of all people!"

Kakashi tells Ino, plainly, "It's alright, Ino! After he died fighting Sasuke, he defected the Akatsuki, so right now, he's on our side."

Itachi says, in a plain tone, "That's right! I'm doing this to repent the crimes that I've committed."

Sasuke asks his brother, "How long are you going to be here?"

Itachi replies, plainly, "Like Inu no Taisho and L, until the Light of Destruction is defeated. Though, I am surprised, Sasuke, after your attack on the village, you should have been executed."

Cologne says, seriously, "That's right! I figured that someone who defected the village would have never be accepted back."

Tsunade says, with a sigh, "There's a reason why. You see, after Naruto and Sasuke defeated Madara, Sasuke's Mangekyo Sharingan was sealed away by Jiraiya after attempted to kill Danzo under orders of those old buzzards, Homura and Koharu. Of course, Danzo pulled a fast one on Sasuke, telling him that Danzo had 'no knowledge of the real reason behind the Uchiha Massacre' and with enough evidence to back up his claim, we had no choice but to let Danzo go and for Sasuke to have a normal life in the village, his Mangekyo Sharingan had to be sealed until he was trusted again."

Sasuke says, in a serious tone, "I was so pissed off that it happened to me and wanted nothing more than Danzo's life and I guess that it followed with Naruto and his departure from the village."

Jiraiya says, in a serious tone, "With the more recent events that has happened, we had no choice but to unlock Sasuke's Mangekyo Sharingan to have him fight in full power."

Koenma says, in a serious tone, "I've also has some serious news and it's concerning Misaki Sato."

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

Koenma says, in a serious tone, "Earlier, we did a blood test on you and determined that you have another rare DNA similar to the Saiyan DNA and it's called Quincy DNA."

Amaya says, perplexed, "Quincy DNA?"

Tsunade says, surprised, "I've heard about that! It's a rare DNA that came around the first day that Saiyan DNA arrived on the planet. Humans with this power can perform abilities similar to those who use Soul Reaper powers like Lady Izayoi. Humans with this power are spiritually aware, absorb and manipulate Spiritual Energy to create bows and arrows from spiritual energy. It said that they have their own Flash Step called Hirenkyaku."

Amaya asks, in a serious tone, "Wouldn't be safe to assume that Dartz may have known about this and told this to Hikaru?"

Kurama tells Amaya, in a plain tone, "It's better to safe to assume that he did, since Hikaru Sato has already learned his Hirenkyaku."

Mia says, worriedly, "Oh great!"

Koenma says, in a serious tone, "We've also confirmed that not only Misaki has this rare blood, but the Truesdale brothers, Zane and Syrus!"

Syrus yells out, shocked, "What! Me!"

Koenma says, in a serious tone, "We've determined that you two may have gotten this from your mother as well as Misaki and Hikaru's mother as well. We'll have to unlock those powers within you by people that use spiritual energy."

Genki says, with a sly smile, "Don't worry, Pacifier Breath! We've got plenty!"

Genkai tells Genki, in a serious tone, "It's not that easy, brat! In order for humans with Quincy DNA in their blood to have their powers unleashed, you'll have to try to kill them with your Spiritual based attacks."

Davis yells out, shocked, "Kill them! But we can't…!"

Jaden says, seriously, "No joke! They're our friends!"

Genkai tells Davis and Jaden, in a serious tone, "I know that! People like you two as well as Hikari, Kira, Genki, and TK don't have the any to do so, anyway! I'll be the one that does it!"

Syrus asks, worriedly, "Wait! How can I use my powers when I'm dead!"

Koenma tells Syrus, "It's the only way, Sy!"

Zera says, with a smile, "Now, with that situation cleared! I have some business to take care of!" Zera notions Holly to follow her as she leaves the room, which Holly gulps while grabbing Genki's right hand and walks to follow Zera while taking Genki with her.

Keiko asks, curiously, "I wonder where they're going!"

Miroku tells Keiko, "I guess it's not going to be pretty bad! I mean, Zera may be a bit hot-headed, but she's no fool! She won't do anything rash if it meant to jeopardize her plans on separating Inuyasha away from Kagome even further."

(Outside of the school; sometime later)

Outside the school building, we find Zera walking out with Holly and Genki following her and when Zera stop, she turns to meet with them with a serious and indifferent glare towards them, making them stop and winch at her.

Zera says, in a calm and serious tone, "You two care to explain yourselves!"

Holly says, in a nervous and serious tone, "Listen, Ane-chan, I know that you may not be happy with this, but…!"

Zera tells Genki, seriously, "Detective Sakura, roll up your sleeves." Genki reluctantly rolls up his sleeves where his mating mark is visible to Zera's eyes and Zera says, in a calm tone, "The mark of commitment, I see! So, you've survived!"

Holly says, in a serious tone, "Ane-chan, I know that you may not be approving of this, but Genki and I really love each other and I chose him to be my future mate! I also remembered that once the Light of Destruction and the evil creeps are defeated, then we'll have to leave this time permanently because of what that Kagome girl did to Inuyasha."

Genki says, in a serious tone, "That's right, Zera! I understand your feelings about this, but I've made a promise to Holly that I'll stay by her side and I'm not the type of guy to break promises! Your sister was so insisted to leave after I've awakened, because since she was in the 'heat', that her primal demon instincts would hurt me."

Holly says, seriously, "That's right! Ane-chan, Genki loves me for both of my human and demon sides as well for me and wouldn't want me to change for only him! He even wants to marry me as soon as he turns twenty! He's never broken his promise intentionally! He trusts, respects, and loves me! Please understand that!"

Zera says, with her eyes closed and calmly, "Little brother, you, Myoga, father, the monk, slayer, kit, the filthy traitor, and the worthless miko and her friends can come out! I can pick your scents!" Soon enough, Korvo, Kenochi, and Inu no Taisho comes out from the trees with Myoga on Kenochi's shoulder as Miroku, Sango, Shippo, Kagome, Yuka, Eri, and Ayumi came from their hiding places, which was the side of the school.

Sango tells Zera, "Zera, before you…!"

Zera tells Holly, interpreting Sango, "Holly, I'm not mad by your choice of mate! In fact, despite his association with the worthless miko, I've read the profiles of your human and I must say that I'm impressed on how loyal and fair he can be towards you in the Monster Rancher world! I'm not going to interfere with your happiness because of the actions of one stupid girl!"

Kagome winches at Zera's tone and Genki says, with an excited smile, "You mean that you'll let me see Holly and let me take her as my wife in the future!"

Zera says, with a calm tone and a smile, "Of course, Genki! After all, I knew someone like you would be able to survive the first stage of the mating process!" Zera then says, with a sneer while glaring at Kagome, "Unlike some people…!"

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

Kenochi says, with a sigh, "Well, when a half-demon mates with a human, the human turns into a half-demon with the physical appearance of the half-demon that he or she mates with, but there is a catch, the human has to trust and love the half-demon with all his or her heart and soul, or the human in general dies."

Yuka yells out, shocked, "Dies!"

Zera says, with a snort, "Of course! Which was one of the reasons why I didn't want Inuyasha mating with that miko, since she obviously didn't trust him and if she did, then Inuyasha wouldn't have been brainwashed by Dartz in the first place and I don't want my baby brother wasting his tears on someone, who isn't deem worthy of it!"

Kagome bows her head in shame of this and Zera tells Holly, with a smile, "Holly, you may be with your mate to be, but in order to be alone without an escort, there is one condition that the two of you will do!"

Eri says, in a snarl, "I should have known!"

Zera points at her brother's 'former' friends and Kagome's friends and she says, seriously, "When Inuyasha comes back from Dartz, you are to never help these people bring him and the foolish girl in repairing their relationship or interfere when taking Inuyasha back home safe while away from them!"

Yuka yells out, seriously, "No way!"

Sango yells out, angrily, "Zera, that's not fair!"

Zera tells Sango, in a strong tone, "Don't talk to me about being 'fair', slayer, when you and your friends weren't towards Inuyasha! The fool's school friends may have excuses because of the pack of lies that the miko may have told them about Inuyasha, but you, the monk, and the kit don't!"

Kagome says, in a serious tone, "Zera, your anger is with me and me alone! You can't break your sister's relationship with Genki before of what I did!"

Zera tells Kagome, in a nasty tone, "You shouldn't be telling me what to do, girl! Besides, I'm not breaking Holly's relationship with Genki, but they will be watched at all times, while Genki's mating mark can and will be removed by my Millennium Staff and I may seal off Holly's mating abilities like I've done with Inuyasha!"

Miroku says, seriously, "So, it is true! That's why Inuyasha risked his memories for Kagome!"

Zera says, in a serious tone, "That's right! When we first meet and after I reprimanded him for giving his heart to another worthless miko namely Kikyo, I've sealed away his mating abilities and I've taken measures ensuring that Inuyasha's demon blood doesn't go away by any means, except for when the new moon comes, so he wouldn't be able to turn human for people, who aren't even worth it!"

Ayumi yells out, seriously, "How could you do that! He's your brother! How can you do such a thing to him!"

Zera says, in a serious tone, "I did it to protect him! Inuyasha has a tendency of pulling stunts that may cause him getting into trouble by the choices that he makes do to his soft-heartedness and naivety!"

Holly tells Zera, "Ane-chan, why are you so against Inuyasha's relationship with Kagome because of one mistake!"

Zera says, glaring at Kagome, Miroku, Sango, and Shippo, "Oh! They didn't tell you about what happened before this insanity!"

Miroku says, seriously, "Zera, stop it! She doesn't need to know about that!"

Zera says, in a sneer, "Why not, monk? I think that Holly should have at least a good idea of the actions towards Inuyasha by your hands as well as your friends!"

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

Zera asks Holly, "Do you still have that pendant with you!" Holly takes out from her skirt pocket a green jeweled pendant that was square shaped and Holly asks, "You mean this! I've wondered why this was so important to me to keep, but now, I remembered! Suzame-onee-chan gave me this along a pendant for Inuyasha, Melody, and Megumi on our fifth birthday!"

Shippo says, shocked, "You mean Suzame gave you and Inuyasha a pendant with words in it!" Holly opens the pendant which inside read 'To Hol-chan from your dear Big Sister'.

Zera says, with a sneer, "Which brings me to say this! It was after our brother admitted his real feelings for that worthless idiot miko, standing in front of us, starts off the usual coming of that mangy wolf starting trouble with Inuyasha, again, and the miko taking that wolf's side as usual!"

Kagome yells out, strongly, "That's not true!"

Zera says, ignoring Kagome's outburst, "Wolf boy proposed for him and his men to stay in our brother's group, but of course, Inuyasha disagrees with it, but as usual the worthless one 'sat' him until he had no choice to submit!"

Kagome says, seriously, "Zera, it was for the benefit of defeating Naraku! It wasn't like that at all!"

Zera says, again ignoring Kagome, "During the time, wolf boy started his once again sick game, 'getting Inuyasha in trouble', so he goaded Inuyasha by calling your mother 'a demon whore', which pushed Inuyasha into killing him!"

Holly says, shocked, "He what!"

Zera says, strongly, "That's right! Of course, that worthless miko sat him before he could attack while taking wolf boy's side as usual!"

Kagome says, seriously, "Zera, it wasn't like that! If I'd known about what really happened, then I would have…!"

Zera tells Kagome, with a serious glare, "But you didn't even give him a chance, while this happened, wolf boy stole Inuyasha's pendant, which was placed in his sash and gave it to you as a 'present' and you accepted it, did you not!"

Kagome says, seriously, "Zera, I didn't even know that was stolen! If I had, then I would have given it back!"

Zera says, in a serious tone, "But you didn't! In fact, wolf boy lied by telling you that Inuyasha stole that from you and you and your friends believed wolf boy, right!" Kagome tried to retort, but she knew that Zera was right and she bows her head in shame and Holly looks at Kagome, asking, "Is this true?"

Miroku says, pleadingly, "Holly, just let us explain…!"

Genki yells at Miroku, angrily, "Explain! Inuyasha was your friend and you should have known that he would never steal from anyone after he even met with Higurashi!"

Sango says, in a serious tone, "I know what we did was wrong, but it was a hard time for us! I mean with Inuyasha being gone for seven days while concluding that he was with Kikyo…!"

Zera says, with a snort, "…but you were wrong! He was with us on the anniversary of Lady Izayoi's death and we were mourning for her at the time."

Miroku tells Zera, "Zera, didn't we suffer enough because of that! I mean you and Melody set us up by having us, including Koga, locked up in your dungeon for thievery and Kagome even accepting that pendant for four days! Worse of all, Inuyasha wouldn't talk to us especially Kagome and asked you and Melody to join us, since he stated that his trust in us has been shaken! We felt guilty that we've wronged him and we believed Koga over him! That sparked Koga getting beaten up by your hands and had his jewel shards stolen by you and Kagome's punishment was wearing the rosary that you made which negates her ability to 'sit' Inuyasha!"

Zera says, with a snort, "Apparently, not guilty enough, if you had forgotten about recent events! Inuyasha's soft-hearted and naivety proved to be his undoing when he begged us to not only remove the rosary from the miko's neck but remove the Mark of Subjugation as well. He wanted us to give that rotten miko a chance and that's where he started bargaining us to make the miko his mate. Inuyasha has that annoying trait in him to follow only his naivety and it costs him greatly. Like for an example, he nearly got fatally sick on the counts of your heartless friend! Two times I may add!"

Kagome says, horrified, "What!" On the meanwhile, Holly, Kenochi, Miroku, Sango, and Shippo started to get nervous looks on their faces while Myoga got a real worried look on his face.

Zera tells Kagome, angrily, "Because of you and your heartless actions, Inuyasha hyperventilating and passes out because of you! One time, it was after you betrayed him by accusing him of being a traitor and sealing off the Bone-Eaters Well and the second time was after Sartorius showed you those fake pictures of Keiko as well as your other cold-hearted words towards my brother's person!"

Kenochi says, perplexed, "How did you…!" Kenochi then glares at Myoga, who starts to run off, but Kenochi grabs him, and Kenochi says, with a deadly glare, "Myoga, what did you tell her!"

Myoga says, pleadingly, "My apologies, Lord Kenochi! Lord Inuyasha and yourselves warned me that if this gets to Lady Zera's and Lady Melody's ears, then you two will kill me, but Lady Zera threatened to kill me if I didn't tell her."

Kagome looks at her Feudal Era friends while downcast and she asks, horrified, "Is this true, guys! Did that really happened to Inuyasha!"

Sango says, pleadingly, "Kagome…"

Kagome tells Sango, seriously, "Sango, tell me if it true or not! Don't lie, because knowing Zera, she'll use her Memory Revealer to show me and that's never lies!"

Kenochi says, plainly, "It's true! After you left, Inuyasha stopped eating for months while heartbroken that you were gone and he was like an empty shell of his former self. He even got me and Myoga to promise not to reveal this to Melody or Ane-ue, because they'll no doubt find you and greatly pummel you until you can't walk for a week."

Shippo says, "Inuyasha even told us not to tell this to not only Melody and Zera, but you! He didn't want you to know, since you may feel extremely guilty or hurt because of Melody's and Zera's wraths." While hearing about this, Kagome's hands were formed into fists as her nails were piercing to her skin, drawing blood as her eyes were forming tears while feeling regret, anger and hatred towards herself.

Holly turns to Yuka, Eri, and Ayumi, and she says, calmly with a bit of anger, "I know that I've said that I'll give your friend a chance, but after what I've heard just now, I'm finding it pretty hard to actually keeping that promise since your friend isn't known of learning her mistakes. Now, I'm even more uncertain if I'd ever want her as a sister-in-law at all." Holly tells Zera, in a serious tone, "Ane-chan, you have my word that I will not even help the repair the relationship of Inuyasha and Kagome, but I'm not going to join in the insults that you and Melody seem to be giving her or attack Kagome and her friends for getting anywhere near Inuyasha. I'm just going to stay neutral, because right now, this isn't time for our pity differences when our brother and sisters are under the control of a sadistic madman bent on world domination as well as the Light of Destruction is still on the rampage. We should save our anger towards them!"

Genki says, in a serious tone, "I'm the type of guy who believes in second chances, but giving people third chances are pretty much rare, even for someone like me. So, Zera, I'm with Holly on this one! I'm not going to even going to help someone who takes other people for granted, especially if the person that happen to be a relative and/or special to the girl that I love. In all the time that I've known Holly, she's mostly forgiving of others, but this is a rare that she's unforgiving of Higurashi and her Feudal Era friends and I can't blame Holly for that."

Just then, a familiar male voice calls out, "There you are!" Everyone turns to see Kisuke and Koenma walking towards them and Kisuke asks Holly, "Ready to go, kid!"

Holly says, with a nod, "Yes! In order to save my brother and sisters as well as my friends under Dartz's control."

Kisuke says, in a serious tone, "You will only if you want to from the bottom of your heart! Your will must be stronger than steel! You must abandon any doubt that you have!" Kisuke says, with a deadly serious tone and glare, "Ten days to prepare for a game of life and death."

Holly winches at Kisuke's tone and Genki thinks in his mind, worriedly, "Why do I get the feeling that Holly will be experience something similar to 'Grandma's Boot Camp from Hell'!"

Holly felt her stomach turn at the sound of Kisuke's training being life-threatening and felt uncertain about it, but suddenly memories of her childhood before she was taken to the Monster Rancher world came in her mind. She remembers the times with her family and friends, Renta, Sonoko, Yukiko, and Haiji, and the thought of them under the control of Dartz made her eyes show seriousness not seen of her before. Holly says, seriously, "Do I have much of a choice!" Kisuke places a devious sly grin on his lips when Holly said this and with a wave of his cane, a silver circle appears in front of them.

Zera tells Kisuke, in a serious tone, "Urahara, please, take care of my sister! I've lost her once, I don't want the same thing happening again."

Kisuke tells Zera, with a smile, "Don't worry, Zera! Next time, you see your sister, she'll be a changed person!"

Holly tells Zera, with a smile, "I know that you're worried about me, Ane-chan, but I'll be fine!"

Genki tells Holly, with a concerned tone, "Come back safe, Holly!"

Holly says, with a loving smile, "I will!" Genki and Holly share another passionate kiss for a few moments and when they release, Holly then follows Kisuke through the portal to Spirit World. After the portal closes, Yuka exclaims at Genki, seriously, "Genki, how could you sell out on us!"

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

Eri tells Genki, seriously, "You just said that you're not going to help us repair Kagome's relationship with Inuyasha."

Genki says, in a serious tone, "I've said that and I've meant it! Before what I've just heard it seems to me that Higurashi has a knack of taking Inuyasha for granted and it got to where it affected his health while nearly died! It tore Holly apart to see her brother like this even not seeing him for years and I never want to see that depressed look on her face ever again. Look, I don't hate Higurashi, but I don't agree with her getting off the hook that easily! If she really loved Inuyasha, then she would have listen to his side of the story rather than run off like a coward!" Genki then says, glaring at Miroku, Sango, and Shippo, "And the same for you guys! You say that you're Inuyasha's friends, but what I've heard you guys just side with Higurashi rather than Inuyasha, even when he's wrongly accused of something that he didn't do!"

Sango says, solemnly, "I know, Genki, but during that time, Kikyo was the main reason of the wedge in our group, but that was before we knew that Inuyasha only went to see her for not only out of concern for her, but only business. It made us at times bitter towards him for causing Kagome pain, but we didn't mean to hurt him, just make him see that he's causing Kagome pain for seeing Kikyo while ignoring her."

Genki asks, curiously, "Let me ask you guys something: when Zera and Melody insults or hits Higurashi, doesn't Inuyasha defend her from them?"

Shippo says, plainly, "Yeah! Inuyasha snaps at them to not to insult or hit Kagome, but they just do it. Whenever they plan on hitting Kagome, they just freeze us even Inuyasha so we won't interfere when they pound Kagome into the ground."

Genki asks, "How about whenever they call Kikyo 'a worthless piece of priestess trash'? Does Inuyasha even put up a fight to defend Kikyo's honor?" Something clicks within the minds Miroku, Sango, and Shippo and Miroku says, in a low tone, "Now, that you've mention it! No, he hasn't…!"

Sango says, in a plain tone, "We were more concerned about Kagome's feelings whenever the subject relating to Kikyo comes up. Even though, Inuyasha forgave us for our actions towards him, but his trust in us is shaken."

Yuka says, in a serious tone, "It still seems more like Kikyo's fault for even showing up to Inuyasha."

Genki says, in a serious tone, "Kikyo isn't the only one in fault of this! This is much as Higurashi's fault as Kikyo's! Remember Dartz targets the darkness within human hearts and with Inuyasha being half-human, it was easy prey for him. If Higurashi wants to show Inuyasha her feelings, she needs to one thing: Grow up! If Inuyasha chose her to be his mate, then she needs to prove that she's even worthy of Inuyasha's choice and not have any second thoughts! She needs to accept the fact that Inuyasha chose HER not Kikyo!"

Koenma says, with a sly tone, "Well, it seems that our Genki here as grown up!"

Genki tells Koenma, annoyed, "Can it, Pacifier Breath!"

Zera says, in a plain tone, "However, it's too late! She failed, remember! I don't know if you people are even aware of this, but since Inuyasha is a 'Chosen Hanyou', there will be other foes other than the Orichalcos, Dark Signers, and the Light of Destruction for him as well as the Signers and other Chosen Duelists to deal with and would seek out their powers."

Koenma says, with a sigh, "I hate to admit it, but Zera is correct! The Light of Destruction, Dark Signers, and the Orichalcos are pretty much just the beginning! The foes are pretty much just as evil and manipulative as those three."

Yuka yells out, in a dark annoyed tone, "More like that alien freak!"

Shippo says, stunned, "I can't imagine anything just as worse as or even more so than the Light of Destruction!"

Inu no Taishou says, in a plain tone, "I too have heard about the many stories with the Chosen Hanyous, Youkai, and Duelists as well as the Signers being the most powerful beings throughout the planet and that there are those who would challenge them. So, there is some truth to what my daughter is saying."

Sango says, worriedly, "It's just keep adding up, doesn't it?"

(Elsewhere on Academy Island; Later that day)

Later that very day, we find Sesshomaru and his followers, Jaken and Rin, along with Totosai and Mu Mu standing in a clearing of the forest on Academy Island with Tensaiga in Sesshomaru's possession once again.

Totosai tells Sesshomaru, "Draw your sword!" After Sesshomaru does what Totosai had done, a huge ogre-type demon appears from out of nowhere and Jaken yelps out in fear as he runs behind Mu-Mu. Totosai thinks in his mind, seriously, "Show me, Sesshomaru! The Tensaiga should guide your stroke." Sesshomaru then charges towards the ogre, jumps up high in the air, and comes down to slash the ogre with his sword, creating a dark violet slash as Sesshomaru lands onto his two feet. The slash disappears, leaving no mark on the ogre, who looks over himself to find no damage, but not noticing the slash appearing behind him.

Jaken says, surprised, "It didn't cut him! Nothing's changed!"

Rin notices the slash and she calls out, shocked while pointing, "Master Jaken! What's that? Behind the ogre…!" The slash then grew larger, proceeding to cut the ogre and Totosai says, in a plain tone, "He's opened the Path to the Underworld."

Jaken says, perplexed, "Path to the Underworld?" Just then, the ogre's body was cut in half as the slash got large and when the ogre was confirmed died, the slash disappeared, completely. Jaken says, surprised, "What was that?"

Totosai says, in a plain tone, "As you just saw, the ogre's body was taken to the other world."

Sesshomaru says, in his usual flat and monotone voice, "A technique that cuts through the Underworld…"

Totosai says, in a serious tone, "Tensaiga is a sword that connects this world with that world. That's why Tensaiga's master can see creatures from the other world and cuts them down, returning the dead to this world."

Rin says, surprised, "Whoa! Really!"

Jaken thinks in his mind, while glaring at Rin, "Uh! You were the first one he brought back."

Totosai says, in a serious tone, "So, instead, he cuts into the Path of the Underworld, to literately send his enemy to the next world. That's how you use Tensaiga and you just perform…Meido Zangetsuha." Totosai thinks in his mind, seriously, "Still, he mastered it in one go. Spiteful brat! Well, the Tensaiga accepted him, so I can't do anything about it."

As he shielded back his sword, Sesshomaru remembered his battle with his Orichalcos controlled younger half-brother and sister, when she was with the Orichalcos, and how he lost to them. Sesshomaru was greatly humiliated in front of his father by this while didn't take into account the Saiyan DNA abilities that Inuyasha or Holly inherited from their mother, Izayoi. Sesshomaru tells Totosai, "Totosai, I now hold Tensaiga in battle. Rin, Jaken! Let's go!" Sesshomaru then walks forward while Rin and Jaken followed him while Totosai thinks in his mind, nervously, "I sure hope that he doesn't find out the truth about that technique or…!"

~Next time~

Holly: Hey, I'm human again!

Kisuke: Come out, warrior!

Holly: I can't fight her! She's only a little girl! Why did you just destroy my soul chain!

Inu no Taishou: Next time: Reclaim the Power of the Hanyou!

Author's Note: Hey, sorry for the long wait! I had to get academics out of the way for awhile until the Summer School! Also, I just wanted to say that in this chapter I don't mean to 'bash' Kagome, in fact, she's somewhat of my favorite character. The reason why I did this is that in most Inu/Kag, Inuyasha is always getting bashed by authors because of his 'inability' to chose between Kikyo and Kagome, but Kagome's 'flaws' aren't even pointed out, but simply ignored or in Inu/Kag, Kagome always seems to misunderstand situations involving Inuyasha and Kikyo and takes it the wrong way while in the end, she just receives only a 'slap on the wrist' for greatly misunderstanding things. Don't fret! In the end, Inuyasha and Kagome will be together, but some 'growing up' between them needs to be done in order for that to happen!
