Chapter 127: Reclaim the Power of the Hanyou!

(On the mid-afternoon that Holly's departure to Spirit World with Kisuke; Within Spirit World)

On a sunny day in Spirit World, we find ourselves in front of what seems to be an average wood-made store with the sign that reads 'Urahara Shop' in black Japanese kanji, where we find two young children, one boy and one girl, the young girl is sweeping while the boy seems to be goofing off.

The young boy seems to be between 9-11 years of age while being small with red hair. He wears a white t-shirt with the words, Urahara Shop, printed in red on the front and blue three-quarter length trousers, the bottoms of which are noticeably turned up.

The young girl with him seems to be at least 12 years of age wearing a white t-shirt with the words, Urahara Shop, printed in pink and a knee-length, pink skirt with white dots. She has purple eyes and long, black hair with a purple tint. It is parted down the middle, with two strands of her bangs in the middle of her face, opposing each other, and both of her cheeks had pink blush circle marks. The rest of her hair is in pigtails with pink ties.

While the young girl is sweeping, the young boy calls out, sounding like a baseball reporter, "Now up to bat, Jinta Hanakari!" The young boy, Jinta, throws a baseball in the air and he calls out, preparing to hit it, "Here comes the windup, the pitch, and with a perfect hit, he sends it flying!" Jinta spins to hit the ball, but he ends up missing it, calling out, "Home Run!"

The young girl tells Jinta, shyly and in a plain tone, "Please, Jinta-kun, you have to get back to work or we're going to be in trouble with Tessai-san, again!"

Jinta tells the young girl, in an annoyed tone, "Shut up, Ururu! I'll start when I'm ready! Tessai doesn't scare me!"

The young girl, Ururu, says, in a plain tone, "But you were scared enough to start sweeping in the first place."

Jinta yells out, seriously, "I don't get scared! Who do you think you are! Talking back to me!" Jinta goes in to violently rubbing his broom onto Ururu's head, causing her to scream in pain and he exclaims, seriously, "Even though, you're lower than me…!"

Ururu retorts, while in pain, "N-No, I'm not! I'm three whole years older than you!"

Jinta retorts, seriously, "So, who cares about age! I'm a higher rank than you!" Just then, Jinta unexpectedly has his broom taken away and he and Ururu turns to see Kisuke and Holly behind him with Holly having the broom at her hand with a serious glare at Jinta.

Jinta exclaims, seriously, "Who are you!"

Holly says, with a serious glare, "It's not nice to pick on girls, you know!"

Ururu says, bowing, "Welcome back, Kisuke-san!"

Jinta says, pointing at Holly, "And why did you bring a hanyou here!"

Kisuke says, with a sly smile, "This is Holly and she'll be staying here with us for training!"

Jinta yells out, shocked, "You mean training a hanyou Soul Reaper Jutsu! Why!"

Kisuke says, with a sly smile, "Take a good look at this hanyou and you'll see why!" Jinta and Ururu take a good look at Holly, a teenaged version of Izayoi came into their minds, and Jinta yells out, shocked, "Hey, she looks like that human girl that came up here a long time ago!"

Ururu says, shyly, "L-lady Izayoi…!"

Kisuke says, with a smile, "Yep! She's one of Izzy's little girls, grown up, Holly!"

Jinta says, surprised, "She's Izayoi's daughter! But she's a hanyou, unless…!"

Kisuke says, with a smile, "Yep! Her dad is a dog daiyokai, Inu no Taishou! But we're wasting time, let's start the tort…I mean training, already…!" Unknown to Kisuke, Holly picked up that 'tort' moment, feeling that this training may actually be very life-threatening to her.

(Back in the Living World within the Slifer Red dorm; on the meanwhile)

It is the middle of the afternoon on Academy Island where we find ourselves within one of the room in the Ra Yellow dorm and inside we find Kagome Higurashi, sitting in a corner, within the darkness of her room after learning what else happened to Inuyasha, before he was taken to Dartz and the Orichalcos. Kagome was horrified to hear about this and her friends from the Feudal Era tried to keep this information away from her as well as Zera and Melody, fearing for her safety of her sanity and physical health, due to Inuyasha's older sisters may pound her to the ground if they ever found out the truth. The others found out about this and most of our heroes and heroines weren't too happy with Zera, but they knew that with Zera's stats as a Daiyokai, they can't do anything since she's protected by Spirit World laws and she hasn't necessarily killed any human as of yet. Later on, the others understood Zera's feelings about hearing this news so they weren't too angry with her while understanding that she had every right to be angry, but they wanted Zera to know that not everyone is perfect.

Kagome thinks in her mind, solemnly, "After everything that's happened, I can't believe that I totally forgot about that day! Inuyasha was gone for a week and we didn't know where he was, until when he came back and Shippo claimed that he was seeing Kikyo, which I can't believe that I've actually believed that and 'sat' Inuyasha for that, for visiting his own mother's grave for a week! For two weeks, he tried to explain, but I wouldn't listen, and it took Koga's actions and many of the members of Zera's Demon Punishment Force to have us taken to Zera and Melody. Zera took away Inuyasha's Pendant from me that Suzame-san gave to him when he was a child. I should have read the inside of the pendant where it read 'To Inu-chan from your lovely Big Sister'. I assumed that Zera must have given it to him and Melody had a similar pendant like that. Zera then pummeled Koga majorly hard to the ground that it was so hard to see it and ripped his jewel shards out of his legs. Zera and Melody then had Koga, Miroku, Sango, Shippo, and I locked up in Zera's dungeon for Thievery and Betrayal towards Inuyasha for two weeks! Our punishments were execution for Koga and his men as well as Miroku, Sango, and Shippo and my punishments were a life sentence in 'lockdown', to wear a rosary that Melody made to shut off my ability to 'sit' Inuyasha, but I could probably live with that since it's completely fair, but the worse came to light where I'd have to be the one that kills Koga and his men as well as Miroku, Sango, and Shippo or they'll destroy the Bone-Eaters Well! I was given two weeks to decide or they'll make the decision for me and I'll still be locked up, only that I'll be Zera's prisoner for the rest of my life, which means that I'll still never seeing my family ever again as well as having Zera kill them right in front of my eyes! I was torn between seeing my family ever again or killing my friends while having their blood to be on my hands! Inuyasha, even though, he was mad at us, especially me, and Kenochi tried to help us anyway that they can since escaping was out of the question with Zera's Prisoner Curse Marks, preventing us from escaping without having them electrocuting us. When 'Judgment Day' came, Zera's Demon Punishment Force came to our cell and escorts us to Zera and Melody in the living area of Zera's castle while Inuyasha and Kenochi as well as Myoga were with them. I was expecting Zera to make me decide, but she came me a somewhat of a lighter sentence. The others were allowed to keep their lives, which made me relieved, but I wasn't getting away so easily. I was to be placed under twenty-four hour surveillance by Melody's eyes even when I'm in my time and as for Koga, he was given a rosary similar to Inuyasha's, which works for Melody, much to Koga's distain. I found that perfectly fair, which I snapped at him for lying to me, and it got us into this mess, and got me to have the courage to break my 'engagement' to him, saying that I can no longer trust him if he's going to lie to me and it was really his fault that we're in that mess in the first place. Of course, Inuyasha asked Zera and Melody to join us since his trust in us has been shaken and it took us, especially me, three months for Inuyasha to start talking to us, the rosary around my neck that negates me from making Inuyasha eating dirt was still around my neck, and ramen didn't work, which was a shock. I tried to explain to him, but Inuyasha wouldn't let me. Thinking back, I've got what came to me. While Melody and Zera were with us, they treated me more badly than ever like hitting me whenever they feel like it, using Shippo as a football or soccer ball, Melody making Koga eating dirt while saying 'down, boy!' whenever she felt like it, and treating all of us, except for Inuyasha, of course, just as badly. Inuyasha didn't even come to my defense like he always has, but I couldn't blame him, we were never fair to him during those two weeks that he tried to explain to me that he was at his mother's memorial service. I've deserved any kind of negative treatment that Melody and Zera has in store for me. With the subject relating to Kikyo, I tend to be bitter towards Inuyasha, fearing that one day, he'll go to her to Hell, even though, Melody and Zera would prevent that from happening. Kenochi then came to tell us the real reason why Inuyasha didn't come to our defenses, which is that if he tried to interfere in anyway, then our original sentences will come back and I'd have to kill my friends, since we were technically Zera's prisoners, or I could never see my family again. I was horrified about this and quite annoyed that Inuyasha didn't tell this, himself! So, the next month, Melody and Zera were more ruthless with their usual attacks towards me, but with the Mark of Subjugation power, any near fatal wounds on me were instantly healed, so I couldn't complain since I wouldn't be able to see my family or I'd have a stained conscience for having human blood spilled by my hands. In the end, Kenochi decided to talk to Melody and Zera about their treatment towards us and decided that we've had enough, even Inuyasha joined with Kenochi to tell them to stop. I thought that I've learned from my mistake, but I was wrong! Inuyasha got fatally sick, because of me! I was the one, who was causing him great pain, while I was emotionally great without any remorse towards my actions towards my friends! Miroku, Sango, Shippo, Yuka, Eri, Ayumi, and Hojo forgives me, but Inuyasha, he'll never forgive me again or want anything to do with me! If only I had Genki's personality and the way he shows his feelings towards Holly, Inuyasha's long lost sister, but it's too late! Inuyasha hates me now and probably doesn't want anything to do with me anymore! There's nothing holding him back to me anymore! He deserves a lot better than anything I could ever give him!" With that, Kagome then falls to the ground while bursting into tears and sobs uncontrollably loud.

(Outside of Kagome's room; a short time afterwards)

In front of Kagome's door, outside, stood Inu no Taisho, Korvo, Kenochi, Davis, TK, Kari, along with their Digimon partners, Yeshua, Kurama, Jaden, Syrus, Hassleberry, Atticus, Bastion, Jasmine, Mindy, Sanosake, Sota, Miroku, Sango, Shippo, Keade, Keiko, Hikari, and Kira along with Kagome's school friends hearing Kagome's sobs from the outside.

Hojo says, worriedly, "Poor Kagome!"

Eri says, in a worried tone, "I know! I just wish that there's something that we can do!"

Keade says, with a solemn sigh, "After hearing what had happened to Inuyasha, after she left, really made her even guiltier!"

Kira says, annoyed, "Damn it! Why couldn't Zera kept her mouth shut! I mean, Kagome was feeling guilty enough as it is! Why does she enjoy seeing her in more pain!"

Jasmine says, with a snort, "Simple, Kira, because Zera has no heart! It surprises me that she was ever once kind or actually fell in love!"

Kenochi says, while glaring at Korvo, "Well, after being betrayed by the one, who you love, would do that to a person! Making them bitter and heartless: like a certain someone, who's standing before us!"

Korvo winches at Kenochi's comment and Hikari asks, curiously, "What became of those punishments in the end?"

Kenochi tells Hikari, "After Naraku was defeated, Inuyasha begged Ane-ue and Melody to release them from their punishments as well as to remove the Mark of Subjugation curse from Kagome, but of course, Ane-ue and Melody refused to do so, saying that Kagome isn't to be trusted at all, not only because she was human and priestess, but the actions that she's demonstrated towards Inuyasha's person, proved that she's no different from the humans and priestesses that they've encountered. Kagome even went as far to go on her hands and knees, bowing to their feet, to remove the punishments and a tearful apology to Inuyasha, promising that the next time that she pulls something like this again, she'll gladly remove the rosary from Inuyasha's neck, herself! Ane-ue and Melody remained unconvinced until Koga joined her with his hands and knees on the ground, claiming that if Kagome doesn't follow through on her promise, then he'll gladly become their prisoner and they can do whatever they want with him. Of course, Wolf Boy only did this for Kagome and hated the fact that he was so powerless to do anything against my sisters with his jewel shards out of his reach. Ane-ue and Melody still were unconvinced but they made some insurance that if Koga doesn't follow through with his promise, then his men, Ginta and Hakku will be executed. Koga, of course, didn't like it, but he had no choice in the matter since he was now too weak to do anything to them."

Sango exclaims, while banging her fist to the wall, "Damn it! I didn't even remember any of this up until now! I was so caught up in Kagome's feelings, but I totally forgot about this! How could I've become so stupid! That experience should have made us know better!"

Miroku tells Sango, "Relax, Sango, I too forgot about it as well! Because of this, Zera's distrust in us has increased even further and while we're in this time, she can't do any lethal blows to us, but once we go to our time, it's a free game."

Yeshua says, in a plain tone, "Plus, I'm afraid that no even the Spirit Detectives as well as Hikari and Kira Urameshi and Keiko Yukimura can go to the Feudal Era since they can't use the Bone-Eaters well like Kagome Higurashi, Inuyasha, and Melody can and Prince Koenma can't do anything since time-travel is strictly prohibited unless it's a state of emergency that's life threatening to the universe and should be used as a last resort."

Kurama says, in a serious tone, "And I'm afraid that in this case doesn't even qualify as a state of emergency!"

Yuka yells out, annoyed, "Ah! Spirit World and its stupid laws! It's because of that we can't even state our opinions in this matter!"

Kira says, seriously, "Or do anything for that matter!"

Hikari says, with a solemn tone, "We originally thought that we can relay of Holly to convince her sister to change her mind, but after hearing about this, she's almost hesitant to even help while believing that her brother's health would be effective negatively."

Inu no Taishou says, in a plain tone, "Now, I see that my son was wise in not letting Holly know about what had happened! Most likely, Inuyasha was waiting to get Zera and Melody alone and get them to promise not to reveal to Holly about what had happened that nearly cost Kagome, Inuyasha's trust and with my daughter, Zera's, inability to break promises, it will be Inuyasha's asset, so Holly won't walk in the same path that Zera and Melody took."

Kenochi says, plainly, "It wouldn't be surprising! Ever since Ane-ue and Melody started on their quest for wiping out the priestesses, Inuyasha's heart was breaking and he wanted to do anything to bring them back to the way they were before, even if it costs him. I guess that's one of the reasons why Inuyasha loved Kagome. Kagome's personality reminded Inuyasha on how Ane-ue and Melody used to be before. It's understandable that Inuyasha doesn't condemn them for their actions while understanding that it's all Vitani's and Korvo's faults!"

Inu no Taishou says, scolding, "Kenochi!"

Kenochi says, with a serious tone, "Father, I can't stand looking at him the same way after what he's done! Inuyasha even agreed that the next time that he sees Korvo anywhere near Ane-ue, then he'll gladly end his life!"

Korvo says, solemnly, "I must have caused so many problems for you guys, all those years ago!"

Kenochi yells at Korvo, angrily, "That's right, kisama! It's because of you, my sisters have become unrepented killers! You and Vitani stole the life that Melody dreamed and wanted so much! You killed Suzame, Sonoko, and Renta! Why don't you do us a favor and just drop dead!"

Korvo bows his head in shame and Sanosake tells Kenochi, seriously, "Come on, bro! Give the guy a break!"

Ayumi says, seriously, "Yeah! It seems that he's really sorry! Besides, he was even blackmailed by that priestess! Also, this is all Dartz's fault! He's the one, who got those half-demon kids killed!"

Kenochi tells Ayumi, in a serious tone, "Ayumi, those were probably lies that murderous miko gave us to get Sissy to spare her life! Besides, even if he was blackmailed, I can still smell the blood of those kids coming from his claws! He murdered those kids without any sense of remorse and to make matters worse, he was fully conscious aware of the situation! Please explain to me that if the same thing happened to your friends! If they were all killed by one of the people that you've trusted, how would you feel?" Ayumi tries to answer that question, but she couldn't since she would have felt the same way.

Keiko says, in a plain tone, "I know how you and Zera-san feel, Kenochi-san! If the same thing happened to my friends and Yusuke, I'd probably feel the same way that you'll be feeling! No matter how hard that person tries to, I'd probably totally ignore it while staying angry."

Davis says, with a snort, "My sentiments exactly!"

Kari says, with a nod, "You said it, Daisuke!"

Kira tells Davis and Kari, plainly, "Speaking of which, I didn't exactly condone the actions that you two took against Matt and Sora!"

Kari yells out, angrily, "Are you nuts! It's because of them that my brother is with that monster!"

Davis says, seriously, "No joke! That jerk, Matt, broke my sister's heart with his backstabbing actions! I don't care if he apologizes with his hands and knees, I'll just drive my foot towards his face if that's what will it takes to get him the fuck away from my sister!" Davis tells TK, seriously, "I'm sorry, TC! I know that he's your brother and I, but I had to speak up my mind!"

TK says, with a plain tone, "You won't get any arguments from me, Davis. After what Matt did, I can't even see him in the same light that I've always have when I was a kid, before my Digidestined days! I just couldn't believe that my own brother would even do that!"

Patamon tells TK, plainly, "I understand how you must feel, TK, but Matt and Sora acknowledges their mistake and the consequences that it came with."

TK says, in a plain tone, "But still…I'm just not ready to forgive them! Maybe in time, but not right now!"

Inu no Taishou says, with a sigh, "Well, it seems to be a shame! I truly believe that through my own half-demon son and daughters that there will be peace between humans and demons! That's why I had Zera to take care of them when both Izayoi and I pass on to the next world and gave Sesshomaru the Tensaiga instead of the Tetsusaiga, which I gave to Inuyasha. I really truly believe that one day that humans and demons would live in peace with each other."

Jaden tells Inu no Taishou, with a smile, "I do believe that would be possible!"

Hassleberry says, with a smile, "Affirmative! I do believe that's possible! Humans had to face with discrimination with each other because of skin color or religion! I don't see any problems with demons and humans being friends!"

Bastion tells Hassleberry, "Though, we're kind of at fault as humans! While we're growing up, we believed demons were the representatives as evil and bad, hints the Biblical figure of Satan."

Kurama says, in a plain tone, "And humans are viewed by many demons as weak creatures and food."

Mindy says, worriedly, "Yeah! Like the Ma-zoku!"

Jasmine says, with a relieved sigh, "No joke, but thankfully, Yusuke and his sisters got that problem taken care of!"

Syrus asks, curiously, "You think that Zera-san would ever change her mind?"

Shippo says, drolly, "I highly doubt it! Zera has had it in for Kagome ever since the day she first laid eyes on her!"

Sango says, in a plain tone, "Plus, Zera is way too stubborn! We'll have to put our faith in Inuyasha or Megumi!"

Jaden says, with a sigh, "Too bad a duel won't work!"

Atticus tells Jaden, in a plain tone, "There some things that can not be solved by dueling, discrimination for one or a daiyokai's feelings."

(With Zera; at the same time)

Elsewhere in Academy Island, within the forest, we find Inuyasha's older half-sister sitting on top of a tree branch with her arms crossed with NekitaKariba, lying on her branch on another tree and suddenly, Zera sneezed loudly.

Zera says, annoyed, "I know those people are talking about me somewhere!"

NekitaKariba says, in a plain tone, "Well, they're probably steamed that you're being completely unfair to that human miko that Inu-chan seems to love."

Zera says, seriously, "I've been completely fair! That miko has caused a lot of problems beyond her worth and that goes the same with those friends of hers! Getting Inuyasha sick like that! It's their fault as much as hers!"

NekitaKariba says, in a plain tone, "I know that Kagome and the others hurt Inuyasha, but they're really sorry!" NekitaKariba then says, solemnly, "I know how they feel!"

Zera tells NekitaKariba, seriously, "You were forced to abandon them by your father when you were real young, so in your case, it was an exception! But them…they did it on their own free will! They've taken that miko's side on every argument that she has with either Inuyasha or Melody! It's high time they realize the consequences of their own actions and as always it's us that clean up that worthless miko's mess! She needs to learn how to grow up! I guess all those beatings that I gave her before, weren't enough to sink into that head of her!"

NekitaKariba sighs as she sits up and she says, plainly, "Zera-onee-chan, you know that I care and love Inuyasha as if he's my brother and would not intentionally hurt him in anyway and I know you may too, but I don't think what you're doing for him is right. Don't you think that's for him to decide, who he wants to be with?"

Zera says, seriously, "She wronged Inuyasha twice, nearly got him killed because of her more times than I can count while remaining ungrateful and that's enough for me! She doesn't even stick up for him whenever people like that mangy wolf are insulting him! She's the kind of person that you have to be nice and caring to her at the first glance. She doesn't even trust him enough for those damned beads to be removed! That miko treats Inuyasha as if he's her own pet while those human companions of Inuyasha's find it amusing! He gets no respect from them and yet, he travels with them even though, he's always free to travel with Melody and I to find the jewel shards since we won't be taking frequent breaks like his so-called human friends do! No more! Those people are getting what they deserve! Inuyasha is coming back home with me and never leaving again!"

NekitaKariba says, in a plain tone, "I get it! You've changed! Before, you used to expect other people's flaws!"

Zera says, in retort, "Not when one of my family members' health or well-being is affected negatively! That miko will never hurt my brother ever again!"

NekitaKariba says, with a sigh, "I hope that what you're doing is the right thing for Inuyasha."

Zera says, in a serious tone, "I've never been so sure, Milo! Ever since my father asked me if I had something to protect and I told him that I have Lady Izayoi and my younger half-demon siblings to protect. Granted that I may not have done somewhat a good job, because of the death of Izayoi and the disappearances of Megumi and Holly, were my own fault for not protecting them better! That's why if anything bad happens to Inuyasha and I allow it by allowing him to continue his relationship with that brat, it's my own fault for not protecting him better!"

NekitaKariba says, in a serious tone, "But it wasn't your fault that Lady Izayoi died and Meggie-chan and Hol-chan were gone for all these years! You've always taken care of them even as well as selflessly risked your own life to protecting them! You even protected me when I was a child!"

Zera says, in retort with an angered voice, "Well, what happened to Renta, Suzame, Yukiko, and Sonoko also! They died not only because of Vitani and Korvo, because of me! I was so shell-shocked that Korvo would betray me by killing those kids in my castle! They didn't deserve to die like that or have one of their most trusted friends and surrogate big brother betraying them! None of them deserved to feel that feeling, before getting killed like dogs! They were supposed to be promised protection and friendships and I never forgave myself because of that! I should have taken Inuyasha away and have Melody kill his so-called human friends since that miko has the Mark of Subjugation on her so when she dies, that damned rosary's magic is diminished and had Inuyasha's memories of those two mikos removed! No more! I will never allow anyone that I love to suffer under my watch again!"

NekitaKariba thinks in her mind, surprised, "I never thought that Zera-onee-chan felt that way! That would explain her hatred towards Korvo and priestesses! She believes herself to have killed those kids, caused Lady Izayoi to die, Meggie-chan to have believed to be dead, or Hol-chan's kidnapping! She believes that it's her fault for those incidents!" NekitaKariba tells Zera, in a plain tone, "Well, I have to say, Zera-onee-chan, I hope that you know what you're doing, especially with that plan of yours!"

Zera says, in a serious tone, "I have all faith in that plan, Milo-chan! I guarantee that will erase all the damages that people like Dartz or Naraku have caused to us!"

NekitaKariba says, plainly, "I hope so!" NekitaKariba thinks in her mind, plainly, "Hopefully, this would erase any hatred that Zera-onee-chan may have!" Unknown to them, at a tree that's pretty far from Zera and NekitaKariba, the Orichalcos controlled Inuyasha, in his Shinobi uniform, was sitting on a tree branch at a tree in a genjutsu and he used the power of his Millennium Pendant to hide his presence from them. Inuyasha had heard everything the conversation between Zera and NekitaKariba. Inuyasha takes out a red pendant similar to Holly's pendant that was revealed to be from Suzame, Zera's late best friend. He opens it to find to find the words, 'To Inu-chan from your lovely Big Sister'. Inuyasha thinks in his mind, in a dark cold serious tone, "Oh I remembered that day! It was when that mangy wolf pushed me too far and that backstabbing bitch sided with him as always! I was a fool to actually forgive her with her crocodile tears! I should have allowed Ane-chan to make her suffer just a bit more! My feelings for that worthless wench were distracting me from my loyalty towards Ane-chan and all that she's done for me! I didn't know that what happened that night as well as the deaths of So-chan, Yuki-chan, Renta, Suzame-nee-chan and Korvo-teme's betrayal affected her that BADLY! Damn it! How could I have been so stupid! I'm actually surprised that Ane-chan as well as Nee-chan managed to put up with my soft-heartedness and naivety all these years! Even back in my naivety days, I still had faith in Ane-chan's plan, because I knew that through it, Ane-chan will return back to the way she was before, so I can see her warm and loving smile and her giggles and laughter filled with warmth that I loved about her the most when I was a little kid!"

Flashback; In Inuyasha's childhood and before Izayoi's death

Back within the Feudal Era, two years before Izayoi's death and within the forest, in the late morning, we see a four year old going on five year old Inuyasha, in his child version of his usual red kimono, running for his life as he's being chased by three black huge ogre type demons.

The first ogre yells out, hungrily, "Get back here, little hanyou! We won't hurt you!"

Young Inuyasha thinks in his mind, worriedly, "Yeah right! I've got to get away from them!" Soon enough, Inuyasha comes across a cliff, making him stop in his tracks and turns to see the three ogres closing in on him.

The second ogre says, with a hungrily smile, "No where to go, half-breed!" From that on, Inuyasha was too scared to do anything since he didn't go through self-defense when dealing with demons. Inuyasha thinks in his mind, worriedly, "What am I going to do!"

Just then, a rock came flying towards the second ogre's head, hitting it, causing it to yelp in pain, and he yells out, seriously, "Who threw that!"

Just then, a familiar teenaged female's voice rings out, in an eerie chilling tone, "That would be me." The ogres and Inuyasha looks up to see a mid-teenaged Zera, standing on a tree branch with an icy cold deadly glare at the ogre demons, frightening them to the core.

Inuyasha calls out, happily, "Ane-chan!"

The third ogre exclaims, fearfully, "It's Zera!"

Zera then jumps from the tree branch and lands on the ground, asking, in a deadly serious tone, "You've got that one right! Now, what we're you doing!"

As big as the three ogres were, they knew that going up against the mid-teenaged dog demoness in front of them was plain suicide. The first ogre demon says, with a nervous smile, "We were going to eat this little half-breed here, but if you want a fearful! He's yours!" That comment got Zera's already not too pleased glare was now a very angered and borderline pissed off, which only increased her killer intent, but decides to hide it from the very stupid demons in front of her, so she sighs to calm herself down. Soon enough, Zera tells Inuyasha, with a cheerful smile, "Inuyasha, would you come over here, please!"

Realizing that he's safe, Inuyasha rushes over to his older half-sister's side while the ogres snickers at this and the third ogre says, with a smirk, "Stupid hanyou! He's rushing to a death trap!" Unfortunately, Zera with her sharp hearing heard what the ogre said and she asks, in a calm and angry tone, "What did you just say, demon?"

Not knowing any better, the third demon says, with a smirk, "I said that hanyou is pretty stupid since he should know what you'll do to him, but he just runs over to you without a care in the world."

Zera says, in a plain tone, "That's what I thought!" Zera then says, in a serious tone, "I've got a question to ask you idiots: do you see the physical resembles between me and this hanyou?" The ogres take a good look at Inuyasha and Zera and the second ogre says, in reply, "You both have silver hair and golden eyes as well as smell like dogs!"

Zera says, with a sly sneer, "Good and do you know why!" The ogres shook their heads in reply and Zera says, in an eerie chilling tone, "Because he's MY baby brother!"

The ogres took a double take in shock and fear and the first ogre yells out, surprised, "He's your brother!"

Zera yells out, in an angered and serious tone, "That's right and you idiots were about to eat him!"

The second ogre says, seriously, "But he's a hanyou! A lowly worthless half-bre…!" Just then, Zera's fist bashes him right in the nose, knocking him right back to a nearby tree, knocking him unconscious.

The two other ogres yell out, horrified, "Brother!" With her incredible speed, Zera appears in front of Inuyasha and Zera says, in an angry and serious tone, "If there's one thing that I hate are those disrespecting my family like your assault towards my baby brother here just because he happens to be a hanyou! He's done nothing wrong to deserve what you were planning on doing to him!"

The first ogre retorts, while trying to be strong, "He's done wrong by being born in the first place!" Inuyasha winches at that comment as he hide behind his older half-sister's side, which Zera picks up on, and she tells Inuyasha, "Inuyasha, could you turn around and close your eyes? I don't want you to see what's going to happen."

When the ogres heard this, they begun to go to their brother's aid and run away from Zera's wrath, but as Inuyasha done what he was told to do, Zera disappears and reappeared right in front of the group of the ogres using her incredible super-speed and grabs the first ogre's arm and uses a powerful reserving throw to slam her onto the ground on his back really hard and one loud cry of pain he is quickly knocked unconscious. Zera then lands a powerful kick to the third ogre and sends him right into a tree on Zera's right, breaking the tree on impact, causing the ogre to cough some blood from his mouth, and he falls to the ground on his stomach and into unconsciousness.

Zera says, while dusting off her hands, "That takes care of these morons!" Zera looks at her younger half-demon brother, who was still covering his eyes, and Zera tells him, "Inuyasha, you can look now!"

Inuyasha opens his eyes as he turns to see his sister walking towards him while leaving the unconscious demons behind her and Zera asks, with a warm loving smile while reaching for her brother's hand, "Now, shall we go!"

Inuyasha says, with a smile, "Yeah!" Inuyasha then grabs Zera's hands and he tells her, "Ane-chan, I've got a place to show you, but you've got to close your eyes!"

Zera asks, curiously, "Why?"

Inuyasha says, pleadingly, "Ane-chan, please! You'll love it!" Seeing her brother's frown, Zera couldn't resist while hating to see him not smiling and she says, while closing her eyes, "Okay! My eyes are closed!" Inuyasha smiles brightly as he runs while dragging his sister with him.

Zera asks, curiously with her eyes closed, "Where are we going, Inuyasha?"

Inuyasha says, with an excited smile, "I'll show you, but no peeking!"

Zera says, with a warm smile and giggle, "Okay, I promise that I won't peek!" After a few minutes of dragging his sister, Inuyasha approached his designated area at the clearing of the forest and he tells Zera, while slightly pushing her forward, "Okay, you can open them!" Zera then opens her eyes and she gasps in surprise and amazement as she sees the whole field area of purple and yellow lilies, a huge clear clean lake, and five trees filled with a lot of Cherry Blossoms on each tree. Zera says, with a wide warm smile, "Inuyasha, how did you find this place!"

Inuyasha says, with a wide smile, "I just found it earlier! I was here with Ani-chan and Suzame-nee-chan a few days ago and they told me that you would love to see this! Sakura trees and purple and yellow lilies are your favorite! Do you like it?"

Zera turns to her brother and she asks, with a kind smile, "Now, why would I like something like this? I love it!"

Inuyasha asks, with a smile, "You do?"

Zera says, with a nod, "I do!" Inuyasha then grabs Zera's right wrist and he says, with a bright smile, "Come on!" Inuyasha then runs off while guiding his older half-sister with him to the huge lake and he says, "Here's a lake for us to swim in!"

Zera asks Inuyasha, with a warm giggle, "You want to take a swim here!"

Inuyasha says, with a nod, "Yeah!" Inuyasha then begins to remove his red kimono top as well as his white inner kimono while leaving his red hakama pants and leaps into the lake, making a slightly big splash. Inuyasha pops his head up into the surface while shaking his head to get rid of the water and he calls to Zera, "Ane-chan, come in! It feels great!"

Zera thinks in her mind, with a slight smile and giggle, "Well, he's still just an innocent kid!" Zera then removes the bind of her ponytail, causing her long silver hair to fall by her kneecaps as well as the top part of her short kimono from herself while leaving it dangling by her hips to where the 'skirt' part of her kimono is covering her lower part of her body and revealing most of her voluptuous breasts and soon enough, she too jumped into the lake with her brother, making a huge splash that made Inuyasha cover his face to prevent the water to hit it. Zera then pops her head out of the lake while shaking her head to get rid of the water and she tells Inuyasha, with a smile, "You're right, baby brother! The water is great!" Soon enough, the two offsprings of Inu no Taishou continued to play in the water for about five hours with Inuyasha splashing water at Zera's way while Zera, herself, dunking her younger brother into the lake and the two of them laughed for hours. Afterwards, we find Inuyasha, with his red kimono top on, and Zera, with her upper part of her kimono on and her silver hair still untied, lying on their backs to the ground while looking up in the sky with bright smiles on their faces and watching as the clouds drifted by.

Inuyasha says, with a smile, "You what, Ane-chan!"

Zera says, with her own smile, "What is it, Inuyasha?"

Inuyasha says, with a smile, "I don't think that I've ever done anything like this with you before! I'm mostly with Mama, Holly, Megumi, Nee-chan, Ani-chan, Milo-chan, Korvo-nii-chan, Suzame-nee-chan, and my friends at your castle So-chan and Yuki-chan!"

Zera says, with a plain tone, "You know, Inu! You're right! I don't think that ever since you could walk or talk that I've ever done anything fun with just the two of us! I love the time that I'm spending with you."

Inuyasha says, with a smile, "I do too!" Inuyasha asks Zera, "Hey Ane-chan, can we spend the rest of the day here?"

Zera asks, while sitting up, "You want to stay here all day?"

Inuyasha says, sitting up, "Yeah! It's nice here and I'm with you here. That makes it better!"

Zera says, with a warm bright smile, "Well, since you put it that way, Inuyasha, we'll stay here for the day!"

Inuyasha then jumps toward Zera to place his small arms around her neck, hugging her, and he says, with a smile, "Thank you, Ane-chan!"

Zera wraps her arms around her brother's small body, pulling him close to her, and she says, "Anything to see you smile!" Zera then places a devious sly grin and she says, "Speaking of smiling, baby brother, you left yourself wide open again!" Inuyasha quickly knew what Zera was talking about and before he could move, Zera quickly grabs his waist and started rubbing gently to his sides, causing Inuyasha to laugh as he falls onto his back while Zera is still tickling him.

Inuyasha exclaims, while laughing, "Ane-chan…pleas….please…stop that…!" Inuyasha keeps laughing as his sister targets any part of his body that made him laugh uncontrollably. Inuyasha then tries to get control of the situation by gently tackling Zera's waist, causing her to fall to her back with her brother, sitting on her stomach, and does his own tackling attack to his sister's sides, causing Zera to laugh.

Zera exclaims, while laughing, "Inuyasha…cut it out!" Zera then manages to grab her brother's arms and carries him off of her in the air. Zera says, with a sly smile, "You can't do anything now, huh?"

Inuyasha tries to reach to his sister, but his small arms couldn't reach her, and he says, with a small pout, "No fair!" Inuyasha manages to get Zera's grip off of him as she sits up, stands on his feet and hands, pounces at Zera to knock her down, but Zera manages to get Inuyasha under her while laughing. Soon enough, Inuyasha and Zera spent the rest of the afternoon 'play wrestling' in dog like manner while laughing once again. In the late afternoon, we find both Inuyasha and Zera lying on the grass on their backs while panting heavily with Inuyasha being the loudest and sweating.

Inuyasha asks Zera, "Hey Ane-chan, can we look at the sunset from a Sakura tree?"

Zera turns to her brother and she replies, "Sure, but first, wash your face! You have sweat coming down!"

Inuyasha says, sitting up, "Okay! I'm off!" Inuyasha then dashes toward the lake as Zera sits up and looks at him with a smile on her face.

Just then, a familiar female voice calls out, "I see that you're having fun!" Zera turns to see her best friend, Suzame, walking towards her with her swords and Zera says, with a smile, "Hey Suzame!"

Suzame sits down with Zera and Suzame says, with a smile, "I see that you found this place!"

Zera says, with a smile of her own, "Well, Inuyasha took me to this place after running into three ogre demons!"

Suzame asks, curiously, "Black ones!"

Zera says, surprised, "How did you know!"

Suzame says, with a sly smile, "I got a run into them! They were planning on taking their revenge for the thrashing that you gave them after saving Inuyasha from them, but they won't get that chance anymore since I've already disposed of them."

Zera says, in a plain tone, "As much as I hate to take lives, but I guess that needed to be done to save Inuyasha."

Suzame says, with a smile, "You've got that right!"

Just then, Inuyasha's voice calls out, "Suzame-nee-chan!" The two young dog demoness turn to see Inuyasha running towards them with something behind his back.

Suzame says, with a smile, "Hey squirt!"

Inuyasha takes out from behind him two bunches of flowers, one yellow and other purple, and he says, with a kind smile, "These are for you two!"

Zera says, with a warm smile, "Inuyasha, these are lovely!" Zera takes the purple flowers while Suzame takes the yellow one and Suzame says, with a teasing smile, "Hey Zera, it seems that we've got a little charmer here!"

Zera says, with a sly smile, "We sure do and I think that we have something for charmers, especially handsome ones!" Zera and Suzame then places a hand on both of Inuyasha's shoulders and at the same time, Zera kisses Inuyasha's right cheek while Suzame does the same on the other cheek causing the young hanyou child to blush in embarrassment. Zera says, with a smile, "Now, I seem to remember someone wanting to see the sunset from the Sakura trees."

Inuyasha says, while getting out of his embarrassment stupor, "Right! Can Suzame-nee-chan come with us!"

Suzame tells Inuyasha, with a kind smile, "Thanks, kid, but I'll pass! I have to get back to the castle to watch the kids with Korvo and Kenochi! Maybe some other time!" Suzame then gives a quick kiss to Inuyasha's forehead, stands onto her feet, and she says, while waving, "See ya!" Suzame then walks off, leaving the two offsprings of Inu no Taishou as Zera got on her feet and she says, reaching for Inuyasha's hand, "Ready!"

Inuyasha says, with a nod, "Yep!" Inuyasha grabs Zera's right hand and the two walks off to a Cherry Blossom tree, Zera then carries Inuyasha onto her back, and jumps up to a high branch. Inuyasha got off of Zera's back and sat on her lap with his back lying onto his older half-sister's chest and Zera wrapping her arms around him, holding him as they watched the wonderful sunset with smiles on their faces.

Inuyasha tells Zera, "Hey Ane-chan!"

Zera asks, curiously, "What is it, Inuyasha?"

Inuyasha says, with a smile, "Thanks for spending the day with me and I love you!"

Zera says, with a warm smile, "Thank you, baby brother! I love you too!" While exhausted, Inuyasha turns his body to where he's able to wrap his little arms around Zera's slender waist and lay his head onto his sister's chest, snuggling onto it as he feels her warmth and hears her smoothing heartbeats, making him fall asleep slowly while whispering, "Ane-chan…"

Zera smiles further as she rubs the top of her brother's head and kiss his forehead, softly, and she thinks in her mind, "I guess the day pretty much wore him out! It feels nice to have him in my arms! I only wish that he stays this way for a long time!"

End Flashback; Return to the present

Back with the Orichalcos controlled Inuyasha, he thinks in his mind, in a dark cold serious tone, "Two days from then, Suzame-nee-chan gave Nee-chan, Megumi, and Holly our pendants and we loved them so much that I don't think that I'd part with mine! Back then, Ane-chan was at her most beautiful and loved her greatly with her warm, kind, and loving smile! Until Korvo-yarou betrayed her, by helping Vitani kill Suzame-nee-chan, Renta, So-chan, and the other half-demon children at Ane-chan's castile That was one of the main reasons why I pursuit to become a full-fledged demon! I believed that I could never make Ane-chan happy as a half-demon and when I was with Kikyo, she made me want to turn human while saying that Ane-chan would be happy if I were happy while at that time, I believed that with Kikyo, I could be really happy despite what Nee-chan said! When Ane-chan and Nee-chan started killing priestesses and majorly disrespecting Kagome, I was really displeased and frustrated with their actions, but not blaming them for it! That honor goes to that backstabbing bastard, Korvo! He tore Ane-chan's heart and stomp it to the ground as well as destroying Nee-chan's dream of having a family with Renta! I swore that once Naraku is destroyed, I'm going to set out to find Korvo and kill him for the pain and suffering that he's caused and with his death, Ane-chan will be happy again! As soon as I kill those rotten wenches and my so-called friends, I'll take great pleasure in killing Korvo-yarou, very slow and very painful, that he'll regret ever hurting my sister and that's a promise!" Inuyasha then says, preparing to leave, "I better head back to headquarters! Most likely by now, Nee-chan and Renta are going at it like rabbits!" Back in the Orichalcos headquarters on the meanwhile, Renta and Melody who were in an 'intimate' moment in Melody's room while in the nude, sneezed at the same time for unexplained reasons and continued their 'moment' without care.

(Back in Spirit World; at the same time)

Within the basement of the Urahara Shop in Spirit World, we find it to be a huge outside open space area with multiple small and big mountains of rock around and find Kisuke, Divine Comet/Holly, Jinta, and a tall, muscular, lightly tan-skinned man. His hair is cornrowed and he has a large handlebar mustache, which is connected to his long sideburns. He wears a pair of rectangular-shaped glasses. His attire consists of a white muscle shirt with regular pants and a blue apron with them.

Kisuke says, with a fake surprise expression in this voice, "No way! This is amazing! Who would have guessed that they're will be an underground training facility underneath my store!"

Divine Comet tells Kisuke, plainly, "Somehow I knew you know that this place which I'd admit is impressive existed here! I'm sorry that I'm a bit edgy here, but I'd like to get training so I can go back to saving my siblings and mother from Dartz!"

Kisuke asks, with a sly smile, "You ready?"

Divine Comet says, with a nod, "Yes!" Soon enough, Kisuke raises his cane to reveal picture of a skull surrounded by a blue flame at the bottom and hits Divine Comet's forehead, hard finding herself thrown out of her body from behind and appear in human form with a chain attached to her chest. Divine Comet yells out, seriously, "Hey, what's I'm human, ag…!" Suddenly, Divine Comet finds it slightly hard to breathe as she falls on her right knee while trying to regain her breath.

Kisuke says, with a smile, "Finding it hard to breathe in Soul Form, huh? Right now, even though, you regained your demonic powers, the potion that one of King Emma's Spirit World Defense Force gave you turned your soul also into a full-fledged human soul with no any abnormal ability with the exception of your Divine Warrior powers like right now! If you were to be given your sword that Totosai gave you, then the sword's power would have turned you into a full-fledged killer demon that you were scared to turn into and there will be no stopping you until you were killed, yourself."

Divine Comet gulps in reply and she says, worriedly, "I don't want that!"

Kisuke says, with a smile, "Something that I knew that your father didn't want either, which is why he had Totosai bring your sword over to us until your soul is turned back into a half-demon's soul which is the purpose of your training!" Kisuke then calls out, "Come out, warrior!" Soon enough, Ururu appears with a pair of karate fighting gear on her skirt and places them onto the ground. Kisuke says, with a grin, "Here's your first lesson: You must go up against Ururu one on one. The rules are quite simple: lesson one's over when one of you is unable to continue the match. If you can, I suggest going for the knockout punch!"

Divine Comet yells out, indignantly, "Hey, I can't fight with her! She's only a little girl!"

Kisuke says, with a sly grin. "It's always dangerous to underestimate your opponents, Holly!"

After placing her own fighting gear, which were a helmet and a pair of gloves, Ururu says, shyly, "Please put your fighting gear on, Holly-san! I don't want to kill you!"

Divine Comet exclaims, seriously, "Like I've said! I'm not going to fight her!" Just then, Ururu uses incredible speed to dash toward in front of Divine Comet and goes in for the punch, which Divine Comet quickly dodges and Ururu's fist crashes into the ground, making a huge boom that causes a huge hole to appear on the ground where Ururu's fist landed and dust and sand came flying off the ground on impact making a cloud of dust in its wake.

Kisuke says, with a grin, "Tried to warn her!" From the cloud of dust, Ururu is left standing with no Divine Comet at sight.

Jinta asks, curiously, "So where is she?"

The huge muscled man asks Kisuke, "Is she dead?"

Kisuke says, in reply, "Hard to say, Tessai!" Soon enough, Divine Comet comes thrown out of the dust cloud and falls onto the ground.

Jinta says, seriously, "There she is!" Divine Comet then gets up, runs past Ururu, and gets her own fighting gear, and she says, worriedly while running, "Oh great! One hit from that girl is enough to kill me!" Divine Comet calls out to Kisuke, seriously, "Hey Kisuke-san, how do I put this stuff on!"

Kisuke calls out, in reply, "Strap that headband around your forehead, Holly!"

Divine Comet stops running and she puts the headband of her fighting gear, calling out, "Like this!"

Kisuke calls out, strongly, "Now yell out as loud as you can 'Amazing Headband of Justice in place! Amazing Armor of Justice protect me now' go on, say it!"

Just then, Ururu came in for the punch, but Divine Comet quickly dodges that which makes another dent on the ground and starts running, places the headband around her forehead, calling out, "Oh well! Here goes nothing! Amazing Headband of Justice in place! Amazing Armor of Justice protect me now!"

Kisuke says, snickering, "Oh man! I can't believe that she actually said that!"

Realizing that it was a joke, Divine Comet yells at Kisuke, angrily, "Hey, that wasn't funny!" Divine Comet then yelps as she notices Ururu coming at her and Divine Comet exclaims, worriedly, "Oh great!" Divine Comet quickly puts on her fighting gear and without warning once again, Ururu comes in for another punch that Divine Comet once again dodges that causes another dent on the ground to appear. Divine Comet exclaims, annoyed, "Amazing Headband, my foot! More like piece of junk! Running away is the only thing saving my life!" Divine Comet thinks in her mind, seriously, "Wait! If I'm outrunning her, then that must mean that my speed is increasing! That means that I can dodge her punches!" Divine Comet then turns to Ururu, who's coming in for another punch towards Divine Comet's head, but she gets her head out of the way, and goes in to punch her, but Ururu dodges it. Divine Comet gains control of the situation as she punches towards Ururu, but Ururu keeps dodging it as she backs away. Divine Comet thinks in her mind, seriously while trying to punch Ururu, "I won't hit her! Just tap on her helmet and becomes of my size, I'll…!" Soon enough, Divine Comet unconsciously grazes Ururu's left cheek and Divine Comet exclaims in her mind, horrified, "No! I've cut her!" Ururu's eyes widened as she feels her consciousness fading, jumping onto Divine Comet's right hand on her left foot, brings her right foot back, and kicks Divine Comet hard, throwing her towards a mountain, but not before a blur appears behind her as she crashes into the mountain with a loud bang.

Kisuke calls out, while holding Ururu's right leg, "Safe!" Divine Comet finds herself, leaning on her back onto Tessai's chest, which the belonger was on the ground with her. Divine Warrior stands on her feet and Kisuke says, with a grin, "Lesson one, cleared!"

Divine Comet says, seriously, "But she defeated me!"

Kisuke says, with a grin, "I never said anything about you having to defeat Ururu in order to clear the lesson, did I? That fact is, Holly that Ururu can go toe to toe with demons that rank mid B to low A-class and full-fledged Eternal and Divine Warriors! By the way, do you have any problems breathing!"

Divine Comet says, realizing that she can breathe, "Yeah! I can breathe again!"

Kisuke says, in a plain tone, "Which means that we successfully unlocked your spirit energy, which was sealed away when you were brought back from the Orichalcos! The entire point of that lesson to determine in a one shot battle is whether you can dodge Ururu's punch! In some cases, spirit energy increases a lot faster when the human soul is endanger of being destroyed. We just needed to find out if you'd be able to raise yours to fast enough to dodge that fatal punch."

Divine Comet asks, curiously, "And if I hadn't succeeded?"

Kisuke replies, with a grin, "You would have died!"

Divine Comet yells at Kisuke, annoyed, "I would have what!"

Kisuke says, with a grin, "I wasn't worried! I had a lot of faith in you, Holly! I knew that you'd survive! Now, let's celebrate with the start of your second lesson! Tessai!" Tessai, with a huge axe in his hand, smashes it onto the chain that was connecting to Divine Comet's chest.

Divine Comet says, perplexed, "What in the…!"

Kisuke says, with a devious smirk, "Now, let's start!"

(Back in the Human World; Sometime after)

Back in the Human World and within the building where the guests for the GX Tournament were staying, we find a window being opened and Ranma and Hotaru's father, Genma Saotome, jumping out of the window and to a tree branch as he looks around his surroundings. For the past few days that he arrived on Academy Island, Genma was not only dodging his Orichalcos controlled wife, son, and daughter, but Yusuke, Hikari, and Kira's mother, Atsuko Urameshi as well, not wanting for her and him to cross paths. Genma then jumps from the tree branch and to the ground with perfected ease and he says, slyly, "The coast is clear!"

Just then, a familiar male voice calls out, "What is, Genma!" Genma yelps in shock as he sees a familiar male figure jumping from the next tree, which was revealed to be Kakashi Hatake with a serious glare pointing towards Genma.

Genma says, with a relief, "Don't scare me like that!"

Kakashi asks, curiously, "What are you doing?"

Genma replies, seriously, "What do you expect! Ranma and Hotaru as well as Nodoka are out to kill me and they're serious after what the boy did to Ryoga!"

Kakashi asks, with a serious glare, "So, you've been only dodging your family, because they're after your head, right?"

Genma says, with a serious nod, "That's right!"

Just then, a familiar female voice calls out, strongly, "Oh! Is that the only person that you've been dodging, you fat tub of lard!" Genma yelps in shock as he turns to see Atsuko Urameshi behind him with a serious glare, pointing right at him.

Genma says, while not looking at Atsuko, "Hello, you must be Kira and Hikari's mother!"

Atsuko says, with a serious glare, "Don't play dumb, Saotome! At that stage, it doesn't even suit you!"

Kakashi tells Genma, in a serious tone, "Genma, you know that they're going to find out sooner or later!"

Atsuko says, with a serious glare, "Don't even try to talk some sense into this old fool, Kakashi! I've got a lot of bones to pick with him! Making me pregnant at the age of fourteen! Kidnapping my youngest daughter when she was an infant!"

Genma says, strongly, "Hey, she's my daughter too!"

Atsuko says, with a snort, "Biologically! After the kind of crap that you placed both Ranma and Hotaru, I'm actually glad that my son and daughters don't know the whole truth about how they were born!" Atsuko tells Genma, with a deadly serious glare, "And I hope that for your sake that you haven't been pulling any unwanted engagements with my children, especially Yusuke! Otherwise, I'll be getting a panda skinned rug for my apartment and believe me, Genma, my children may not kill you just because they're half-demon, but I, as a human, could!"

Genma's courage shot up and he says, with a snort, "I'd like to see a weak female try and best me!" Just then, Genma feels a powerful blow to his stomach, knocking the wind out of him, and his face grabbed and had the back of his head, slammed to the tree with great force. Genma is surprised to see Atsuko's left hand onto his face, pinning him to the tree. Genma tries to get out of Atsuko's grip, but is surprised by the great strength that she possesses.

Kakashi says, with a sigh, "Even Naruto wouldn't say something that stupid on purpose!" Back in the Orichalcos's headquarters at the same time, Naruto is in his room, working on his deck, and then squeezes for unknown reasons.

Atsuko says, with a sly grin, "What's the matter, Panda Man? Hard to get out a 'weak female's' grip, especially since, I come from the Urameshi school of Martial Arts, where the members of the school, have great fighting skills and strength as well as bad tempers! It makes you wonder where Yusuke got his amazing fighting skills and temper from! As well as this…" Atsuko's right fist glows blue and she calls out, strongly, "Cosmic Punch!" Atsuko then slams her glowing fist to Genma's chin, throwing him into the air.

Kakashi says, with a surprised look, "I wasn't expecting that!"

Atsuko tells Kakashi, with a sly grin, "Come on, Kakashi, where do you think that my kids got their talents for spirit energy from!" Atsuko says, in a serious tone, "I never got the chance to teach them this technique or about where I came from. My duties as a mother had taken a backseat for nearly seventeen years. I had my life planned out for me at the age of fourteen, graduate high school, going to college, travel the world for a couple of years, find a man, fall in love, get married, have children, and grow out with my husband while my kids start lives for themselves. I thought it would have been simple, but it was pretty complicated once I've gone to that bar, got drunk, met THAT man, had sex and gave birth to Yusuke, Hikari, and Kira." Atsuko says, while tears were forming down her eyes, "I missed out a majority of their lives, especially their businesses with Spirit World, and I wonder if my kids will ever forgive me for not being there for them for most of their lives."

Kakashi tells Atsuko, with a smile, "You shouldn't fret, Atsuko. I'm sure that your kids aren't the ones to hold a grudge on you."

Atsuko says, with a smile, "Thank you, Kakashi."

(Back at Urahara Shop; sometime later)

Back in the outdoor like basement of the Urahara Shop, we find Tessai, who was sitting on top of the back of Divine Comet, who had a stained expression on her face, not only because of Tessai sitting on her and Kisuke was in front of her with a Japanese style fan at his face.

Divine Comet says, in a strained voice, "It…feels like…I'm…dying…!"

Kisuke says, with a sly grin, "That's because you are! Once the Chain of Fate, that was connecting to your physical body and to your soul before, has been severed, you can no longer return to your physical body, death comes quickly."

Divine Comet tells Kisuke, with an annoyed snarl, "Do you have to be so casual about it!"

Kisuke says, with a sly grin and a serious tone, "That's not even the worst of it! Your chain will begin the encroachment where it was severed and once it happens, your demon blood will take over your mind turning you into a full-fledged demon and that will be the end of you, since there will be no turning back into a human again!"

Divine Comet is taken back at this and she asks, "What do I have to do?"

Kisuke says, closing his fan and pointing at Divine Comet, "If you don't want to become a full-fledged demon, you must become a half-demon. If you manage to clear lesson two, then you'll find in the process that the potion that the Spirit World Defense Force gave you as a child will completely wear off and you would have regained your former demonic powers as a half-demon!" Kisuke says, with a sly smile, "Of course, what path you'll choose will be up to you!"

Divine Comet says, in a serious tone, "The point of this training is to get the sword that will prevent my demon blood from running amuck in my mind, killing more innocent people and the boy that I love with my claws and to save my siblings, mother, and the childhood friends from Dartz! So, as if right now, I have no choice but to continue!"

Kisuke says, with a sly grin and a devious tone, "All right then, let's get this party started!" Kisuke then yells out, strongly, "GO!" Just then, underneath Divine Comet, a huge deep hole appears, causing Divine Comet to scream as she and Tessai, who was still on her back and was still calm, falls down the hole. Kisuke, along with Jinta and Ururu, who had a shovel in her hand, walks towards the edge of the hole and he says, "Well, what do you think about that? We really suckered her that time around!"

Jinta says, with a sly grin, "Yeah! Good one!"

Kisuke tells Ururu, with a grin, "That is one deep hole, Ururu!"

Ururu says, with a proud smile, "I do my best!" Just then, there is a crush at the bottom of the hole, where we find Divine Comet lying on her stomach with her arms tied behind her back with multiple belt straps and she tries to use her Divine Warrior strength to break free, but to no success.

Divine Comet exclaims, angrily, "What have you done to me!"

Tessai's voice calls out, "Bakudo number ninety-nine part one: Restrict! Forgive this arrogance, but until this lesson is over, I have forbid you from using your arms." Divine Comet turns to see Tessai sitting in front of her, Indian Style, with his hands clasped in front of him.

Divine Comet exclaims, while struggling to break free, "What! Kisama! (Damn you!)"

Kisuke's voice calls out, "Holly!" Divine Comet gets on her knees and looks up to see Kisuke with an annoyed scowl on her face. Kisuke tells her, "Start climbing up the shaft, Holly! That's all there is to this lesson otherwise known as the Shattered Shaft!"

Divine Comet yells out, angrily, "How am I supposed to do that with my hands tied behind my back, you jerk!" Naturally, it wasn't within Divine Comet's/Holly's nature to insult people, but she was now beyond annoyed and angry with Kisuke's antics even to care.

Kisuke calls out, in a serious tone while looking at Divine Comet's chain's end, "I wouldn't waste time complaining about it if I were you!"

Divine Comet looks down at the end of her chain and sees two sets of months forming at the end with teeth that were eating away slowly at her chain and Divine Comet yells out, horrified, "What the hell is this!"

Kisuke exclaims to Divine Comet, in a serious tone, "You have a period of seventy-two hours at the bottom of Shattered Shaft, Holly! That is how long that the Chain of Fate will be completely encroached! By the end of that time, if you have not come out of there as a half-demon, we will have no choice but to kill you, Holly!" Divine Comet gives off a horror filled look, realizing that she has to get out of the shaft fast or she'll become a killer demon…

~Next time~

Divine Comet: No! I can't turn into a demon!

Kisuke: You better find a way to turn back into a half-demon again or we'll have to kill you.

Divine Comet (angrily): Don't make it so casual!

Jinta: Next time-Holly turns into a Demon!
