Hi everyone.
I decided for this chapter I will reveal more on Ella's background. Let me know what you think. Enjoy and don't forget to review.
Chapter Twenty-Two
Saige was fighting hastily with her sword swinging it and blasting bright blue light from it at Viper who dodges away from it. From look of it, Viper was getting tired and was struggling to avoid getting attack by Saige's sword. He leans against the tree breathing heavily
Saige approaches up to Viper when she picked of a scent on black mist power. Her eyes widen and immediately know what Viper was planning.
Viper smirks when he sees Saige's expression "So, you finally figure out my plan," he stand up straight "If I'm not wrong Sesshomaru is fighting with Caleb as we speak".
"Caleb?" Saige glares at Viper.
Viper laughs "That fool, Caleb assumed that I'm helping him. He has no idea what I have in store for him and Sesshomaru," he pulled a small bag out from his pocket and shows it to Saige "You remember this, don't you? You were once affect and hurt by it so you aware what it does don't you?"
Saige gritted her teeth.
"I take that as a yes," He put the small bag back in his pocket "I make it easy for you Saige. You can either stay here and fight or you go saved you father. Hm, it's a hard decision for you to make because this is your opportunity to destroy me since I'm exhausted. Destroy me is easy for you in the condition I'm in right now. So what's it going be for you, Saige?"
Saige clenches her fists and was angrily that she actually fell into one of Viper's trap.
Knowing what her decision is, she pointed to sword at Viper who has a smirk on his face.
"So you made your decision," Viper assuming that Saige would destroy him.
"This is not over, I will destroy you eventually," She told him "but there is something I need to do first," Viper lifts one his eye brows up.
"And that would be?" he asked.
Saige appears in front of Viper fast and grab the brown jar hanging around his waist on the side "I take this as a souvenir," she said and then teleports away before Viper has a chance to grabs it back.
"I'm impressed that she actually chooses to save her family first. She even saved Inuyasha and his champion," Viper remarked.
"Excellent work, Viper," Cobramaru's voice remarks, echoes in his head.
"Thank you, master," Viper replied and then walked away.

Kohaku and Ella were running in the forest when they heard explosions.
"I hope Saige and the others are alright," Ella said breathing heavily "I really want to stay back and help".
"Me too," Kohaku agreed "But Saige told us to leave for a good reason. She wanted to protect everyone from Viper".
Ella suddenly stops running grabbing her head. A portion of a memory was coming back to her.
"Ella, what's wrong?" asked Kohaku who notices Ella has stopped running. He turns and looked at her.
"The name Viper seems familiar," Ella replied looking down at the ground.
"Do you remember something?" Kohaku asked.
"I remember..." she hesitated staring at her hands.
*Ella's memories*
Ella was kneeled on the ground holding a little girl lifeless body in her arms. She was staring at her bloody hands "What have I done?" she asked.
Tears were flowing out from her eyes.
A wind was blowing against her "What a tragedy for this village and that poor little girl," a voice spokes all of a sudden.
Ella turned around and glared at the person behind her. The person was dressed in a white kimono with black stripes with red eyes "Who are you?" she asked.
"The name is Viper," the person replied.
"What do you want?" Ella asked
"Don't mind me; I'm just here to observe only. Nothing more," Viper explained.
Ella lay the little girl gently down on the ground. She got up, grabbing the sword off the ground and pointed at Viper "You work for Cobramaru!"
"Yes I do," Viper folded his arms "But at least I wasn't control by him to do his work for him. You killed the innocent little girl that you care a lot for. What a shame".
Ella gritted her teeth "You bastard!" she shouted and swings her sword.
Viper dodged out the way and vanished.
"I have a message for you from Cobramaru," Viper's voice echo "Killed Kohaku".
"I won't do it!" Ella refused.
Viper laughed "Like you even have a choice," he told her.
Before Ella realized what was about to happened, she felt her mind and body being taking over.
"Kill Kohaku," Cobramaru's voice said in her head.
Her eyes turned cold and lifeless "Yes master," she replied.
{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}
"Snap out of it," Kohaku shouted while blocking Ella attacked.
Ella swings her sword again, but this time Kohaku knocked out from her hands. The sword landed and implanted into the ground.
Kohaku rushed over and grabbed Ella's arms "Listen to me Ella, you have to fight this. Don't let Cobramaru control you".
A light pink ball of light formed in her hand and blasted Kohaku right in the stomach. Kohaku landed on the ground, clutching his stomach and winced in pain.
Ella pulled her sword off the ground and went over to Kohaku. She lifted the sword and was about to attack Kohaku who closed his eyes when a bright blue light blasted her from behind. Ella collapsed to revealed Saige standing behind her pointing the sword.
Kohaku eyes widen and were shocked to see Saige. He quickly went over to Ella, turning her body over seeing her eyes were back to normal.
He looked up at Saige holding Ella in her arms "Saige! Why did you that?" he retorted.
"I asked her to do it," a weak voice answered.
Kohaku looked down at Ella who smile weak at him "Don't worry Ella, I can save you".
"No," she shook her head "It for the best. Cobramaru won't be able to control me anymore once I'm dead".
"Don't say that, there's still hope for you Ella," Kohaku looked up at Saige "Where Tenseiga, don't you have it? Use it to save Ella," he pleaded.
Saige turns away with her back facing him "No, I don't have it. Even if I do have it, she can't be saved by it," she replied. Saige turn and walked away from Kohaku who was shedding tears.
Kohaku can't believe Saige would turn her back on Ella who has been a friend to her and also saved her life. Saige closed her eyes "I'm sorry Ella, I can't saved you even if I wanted to. Cobramaru will pay dearly for what he done to you. I will avenge your death," she thought
*Ella's memories starting to go really fast*
"This is for you," Kohaku gave the flowers to Ella who accepted with a smile on her face"
"Come on play with me," the little girl shouted cheerfully.
"Here try some," Ella gave the grapes to Saige who looked at it weirdly.
"You know I don't eat them," Saige replied, refused to eat them.
"Just try them beside you're only half demon so part of you are human. I promise you will like them. It's only fruit," Ella assured.
Saige sighs and took one of the grapes and ate them. She then looked at Ella.
"So how is it?" Ella asked.
"It's okay," Saige simply replied.
Kohaku, Saige, and Ella were training together.
* End of Ella's memories*
"Ella?" Kohaku said with a worried expression.
"I remembered everything," Ella told him, clenching her fists. She turned back and looked at him "I'm going back to help Saige. I won't leave her behind".
Kohaku stares at her for a second with a serious expression "I'm going back to help Saige too," he replied a minute later "Let's go".
Ella nodded and they both went back to the direction where Saige was.
In the Dimension
"Inuyasha?" Kagome said looking back and forth at Inuyasha next to her and in front of her "Two Inuyasha, impossible, that one has to be the fake one," she thoughts as she stares at Inuyasha in front of her.
Inuyasha pulled out his Tessaiga and points to the fake Inuyasha in front of him and Kagome "Who the hell are you?" he asked angrily.
The fake Inuyasha didn't reply instead he lunges toward Inuyasha "Iron reaver soul stealer!"
"Inuyasha! Look out!" Miroku shouted.
Kagome rushes over to help Inuyasha when an arrow flies at her. Her eyes widen.
"Fox fire!" Shippo shouts as he jumps in front of Kagome and blasts the arrow to pieces
"Thanks Shippo," Kagome said, relieve to see Shippo save her life.
The second shadow appears and reveal to Kagome.
"Two Kagome!" Shippo exclaimed.
"I get it now," Miroku looked at the fake Kagome "We are in Viper's dimension. The shadows appear as an evil reflection of all of us".
"All of us?" Sango blinks her eyes "you mean there are more shadow?" she asked.
Inuyasha blocks the fake Inuyasha's wind scar attack with his Tessaiga "Great observation Miroku, but by any chance do you figure out a way to destroy them?" he asked.
Miroku saw his fake self running toward swing his Shakujō Staff. Quickly, Miroku blocks with his Shakujō Staff "Inuyasha, I'm going to have to get back with you with that question because I'm kind of busy myself".
"Fox fire," the fake Shippo blasts at Shippo who dodges out of the way.
Shippo glares at the fake Shippo "Okay, you ask for it," he lunged toward the fake Shippo.
Sango and fake Sango were both swing their weapons, Hiraikotsu while Kagome was batting with her fake self.
"We need to escape out here," Miroku shouted.
Inuyasha kicks the fake Inuyasha who tumbling backward "Jeeze, ya think, Miroku," he sarcastically said.
In the real world
Sesshomaru's sword Baksaiga collides with Caleb's sword. Caleb stares at Sesshomaru "What matter Sesshomaru, worried about Saige?" he asked.
Sesshomaru shoves Caleb hard with his sword "You should be concern for yourself because you about have a taste from Baksaiga," he said and then rushes toward Caleb who eyes widen. He dodges out of way, but it wasn't fast enough.
Sesshomaru swings Baksaiga at Caleb armor that was on his shoulder breaking it and chopping Caleb's arm off in the process. Suddenly a black mist blast out from it and hit Sesshomaru in the face with it.
"Lord Sesshomaru!" Rin shouted running toward him.
Caleb gasps "No, this isn't supposed to happen. Viper you bastard! How dare you!" he retorted, gripping on his shoulder that was bleeding and the one where he lost his arm.
Sesshomaru back away, clasping face in pain. The black mist powder has gone into his eyes. Rin rushes over to Sesshomaru's side and placed her hand on his shoulder.
"Lord Sesshomaru," she said, worried for him.
"Rin, run now," he told her.
"No, I'm not leaving without you," Rin refused to leave.
Caleb's vision was blurry, but he can still see Sesshomaru "No, I can't lose like this," he aims his sword at Sesshomaru and Rin "Now die, both of you!" he lunged toward them.
"No, I can't let Caleb win, "Rin watches in horror seeing Caleb running toward them and Sesshomaru clasping his face in pain "I need to do something," Her eyes landed on Tenseiga that was on Sesshomaru's waist.
Hastily, she grabs Sesshomaru's sword, Tenseiga from his waist and flings it at Caleb and then shield Sesshomaru with her body praying for a miracle to happen.
