Chapter 31: Tsubaki

Yahaba lifts up the Saboteurs with his arrows. Mew stabs the arrows with her sword but fails to destroy the arrows.

"Squirm all you want. You can't break my Kotetsu arrows." Yahaba said.

"How do you master jutsus like this? No kid like you, let alone a talented shinobi like myself could ever realistically master this kind of jutsu." Guy asked.

"It's called a blood demon art. Something we demons develop once we consume enough human blood. Although I'm sure shinobi like you will never awaken yours. Because you don't have the spine to kill innocent people to get strong enough." Yahaba replied.

"Kill innocent people? How morally bankrupt do you have to be to do something like that?" Neji asked.

"I find that ironic coming from you. You shinobi are notorious outside of your pathetic continent for your war crimes. Your shinobi villages are only beaten out by Chance and Lucky in terms of war crimes. And he didn't do it alone. People like Mauzer were also responsible. And Naruto, I hate to assume anything but why would you betray Chance? After all he has done for you and your nation's people." Yahaba asked.

"Because I realized he was a monster. Like you. Only caring for himself and willing to let innocents die just for power." Naruto answered.

"How dare you insult brother Yahaba!" Susamaru yelled,then created a temari ball.

"Hold on Susamaru. Killing an immature roach like him isn't what our goal is. But back on track, I am a monster, so what? I was once a kind man with a strong moral compass like you, but society is broken as it treats those who are different and or not up to society's standard like trash! I'm running on the hope that I and my family can change the world for the better. Whether it be real or a dream. It doesn't matter to me." Yahaba said.

"Let me guess, you were treated like nothing but a nuisance too. Am I right?" Naruto asked.

"Yes. What of it?" Yahaba asked.

"I was treated like garbage by most of my village for most of my life. I know how it feels to be treated horribly. But that's no excuse to kill innocent people to lazily gain power!" Naruto argued angered by Yahabas words.

"Getting a bit emotional are we? I thought a shinobi was supposed to kill their emotions? It seems like the system has crushed your heart yet. You shinobi are emotionless sheep being used by the puppets at the top. The Kage of each of the villages is just the sheep herder to the village of sheep. It's what we intellectuals call the matrix. A system where there are players and pawns. These players, despite their intellectual ability, are really sloppy when it comes to hiding the truth. So they lie, they created a system that can be fixed on a whim to protect the secrets of reality and keep their illusion running smoothly. You are the sheep being used by the players to earn wealth and whatever it is they desire. You have two choices as a pawn. One, discover the truth and fight against it, or two live a lie." Yahaba explained.

"The Hokage cares deeply for their village. They don't treat their shinobi like pawns." Naruto replied.

"Maybe the Hokage cares for the people of the leaf. But the thing is, they don't care about anyone else. During the evacuation of the land of fire. Any and all sensitive information of the leaf was brought along to keep it away from the Riech. The current hokage Tsunade. Has been married and has fallen in love with Inuyasha. We have access and duplicates of every document like mission reports that has been created in a series of books just ready to be published to the public. If you leaf scoundrels continue being nuisances. Then these books will be released. Your village will be disgraced. You may even gain the nickname. The bloody leaf village. And the king will most certainly transform you into puppets with no conscience of your own. He will defeat the Reich and accomplish any of his goals. His three pronged plan is unbreakable." Yahaba explained.

"He would never do something like that." Naruto replied.

"Oh that's right you don't know who he truly is. He's worse than I am. His origin. Is sickening. About 5 years ago. He and his buddys slaughtered hundreds of thousands of innocents. Why would he do this? Fortunately enough he gave me an answer. He killed them for power. Because Archie Aura-Sun left important research at Chance's home of course Chance would eventually give in to curiosity and take a look at the research. There he discovered how to gain power quickly. He became a majority demon better known as a 90% demon. This allowed him to drink people's blood in exchange for power but he lacks the other abilities full demons like us possess. And since there was a war Siberia was fighting. He joined the army with Armie. Armie joined the government to find a cure for the disease that's currently killing the both of them. Armie was in charge of raiding villages for supplies. And Chance was in charge of killing anyone he and his buddies could find, and collecting all the scientific intel the government had. They were largely successful. And all that sensitive information is still in his old home. The government originally forced Chance to leave as they were hunting him down to be brought to justice. But shortly after Chance escaped the government pardoned him and his accomplices for reasons unknown. So yeah, Chance is a psycho who he and his buddys killed hundreds of thousands and only got caught because of a woman named Shinobu." Yahaba explained.

"Shinobu Kocho. That mysterious woman. She decided to train me because I was a promising prospect." Shino thought to himself.

"He did that? All of that?" Mew replied softly.

"Yep. everything." Yahaba responded.

"That's why he was fine with getting rid of the demon slayer corps." Naruto said.

"Yahaba, you also forgot the 2nd reason." Susamaru said.

"He ordered me not to tell." Yahaba replied.

"Tell me the 2nd reason!" Naruto demanded.

"No. be quiet or I'm going to have your spine look like powder and I will gouge your eyes out and keep them as trophies. Yahaba replied.

"I find it hilarious how I'm the most sane one out of all of us." Zhukov remarked.

"Yeah, instead of a psychopath you're a firecracker." Susamaru jokes.

"Keep talking your shit! It's not going to bring your dead friend back!" Zhukov shouted.

Milunka rises from behind Zhukov and kicks him in the testicals.

"Thanks." Susamaru thanked Milunka.

"No problem. He always likes to escalate. My family got killed because of pointless escalation." Milunka replied.

"Mine were killed by some stupid negros." Kikyo replied.

"Another bloddy racist? Are you sure you're not related to Rokuro?" Yahaba responded with annoyance.

"Shut up." Kikyo replied.

"You fucking wrench!" Zhukov shouted at Milunka.

"Can you p-please calm down. I don't like hostile environments." Kamanue said.

"For someone who can make bones you sure are spineless." Zhukov remarked.

"Will you stop bullying the poor boy? You two are not from the same branch. Why do you bully someone you have barely known for a somewhat small amount of time?" Kikyo asked.

"Because the pussy needs to be strong. Men who are weak need to have a reality check. It's ok to be weak but it's not ok to stay weak. His nervous stuttering ass needs to man up!" Zhukov explained.

"Even I can agree you're going too far, dummy Zhukov." Susamaru replied.

"Dummy? Who can't write or read? Also at least I can keep my emotional state in check. You should be in an insane asylum. You are prone to intense mood swings. Cannot control any of your self destructive tendencies. You are as much of a psychopath as the rest of us if not more. You are one mental breakdown away from going off the deep end. That is, if you haven't already." Zhukov responded harshly.

"Zhukov, you're one of the weakest members of our family. If you weren't immortal like the rest of us, you would be killed easily by anyone in the family. It's tough keeping a good emotional state when you have gone through trauma in your life. I just now remembered, you never went through any hardship. You suffered no hardship outside of dying because of Archie but even then was that really an emotional hardship for you?" Yahaba asked.

"Shut up. I will prove I'm stronger than you think. Let them down." Zhukov demanded.

"Shouldn't we just leave them up there? We will easily defeat them and then they will get punished and the king will have no choice but to end you. For Kaluna may have been revealed as a traitor. But he was able to keep this away from the public. If this gets out to the public. Chance would have to kill you all. Or else the public's opinion will quickly turn against the monarchy. Because Rota kills all traitors." Milunka explained.

"Oh yeah that's right! Brother Yahaba, screw the battle, One of Kamanues skeletons will take a picture of this and give it to the king. Let's take them back and throw them in jail." Susamaru said.

"Piss off mood swing. I want to defeat these shinobi. Although I wonder why for an important as hell sabotage mission they brought kids our age? Wouldn't more experience be better suited for this task? Just a hunch." Zhukov replied.

"It doesn't matter what you want. We need to take these enemies of the state to prison. And maybe that one woman with black hair will be taken as a prize."Kikyo said, pointing to Kurenai.

"What do you mean by a prize?" Kurenai asked.

"It's tradition to take a defeated woman as a prisoner and give her to a man to be his wife and personal servant." Kikyo answered.

"You all are messed up! How could you consider that a tradition! That's horrible!" Naruto shouted.

"Maybe it is. But let me tell you something. You can't do anything about it." Zhukov replied smugly.

A while later, Zhukov looks at his watch.

"Times up, you lose." Zhukov said.

Yahaba lowers them to the ground still attached to the arrows. Yahaba then deactivates his arrows. The saboteurs attempt to run away but are quickly stopped by Zhukovs Aura Chains.

"You thought you could escape the mighty Zhukov! Ha!" Zhukov said in an arrogant tone.

The saboteurs are brought out of the tunnel and brought into prison. This prison is marked with seals that prevent the use of chakra to escape.

Elsewhere

Inuyasha sits upon his own throne as Tsunade stands beside him. Enmu comes crashing through the window of Inuyashas home.

"Oh, it's the masochist. What do you want?" Inuyasha snared.

"Lord Inuyasha. Fourteen Konoha shinobi including the annoying brat the king hangs out with have been caught trying to sabotage the underground surveillance network. We have destroyed any evidence of them being there." Enmu explained.

"That brats name is Naruto. Tsunade, you said you know this kid right?" Inuyasha asked.

"Yes my lord. Please release him." Tsunade begged.

"Lord Inuyasha, you can't possibly consider releasing them. They are undesirable. And they are traitors. They have broken the law." Enmu replied.

"So? They were completely justified in trying to take the network down. After all, it's illegal as it violates the laws of privacy. Besides, It's not like the king isn't going to pardon his best friend, he also has a bit of a reputation for pardoning criminals. He is forgiving, befitting his status as a christian." Inuyasha explained.

"Wait, he is a religious person? Wow that's hilariously ironic. He killed so many people it makes my body count look like child's play. Isn't killing against those ten precious commandments he along with those other christian fools are supposed to follow? But on an unrelated note, Your wife makes a good submissive pet for you, you cold hearted rapist." Enmu replied.

Inuyasha stands up.

"How dare you speak about my wife like that! Learn your place, you piece of trash!" Inuyasha yelled.

"Master, please forgive him. He has a tendency to run his mouth. He is upper rank one and I don't like it when you're upset." Tsunade said, hugging Inuyasha.

"I dont give a damn what rank he is! I will not have a punk like him disrespect us like that!" Inuyasha yelled trying to escape Tsunade's grip.

Enmu chuckles.

"You know she has a point. If you came after me, I would kill you. On second thought, I'd kill your wife first and force you to look at her unrecognizable corpse. Just like your mother, eh Inuyasha." Enmu replied with a wide grin.

"You bastard!" Inuyasha shouted.

"You cannot kill me. For you lack the sword to do so. You don't have the power to legally release them. That falls under the king's jurisdiction. But I've had enough fun. I still have to deliver this news to the others." Enmu replied, turning around to leave.

Enmu leaves and Tsunade lets go of Inuyasha.

"I'm not going to tolerate that sadistic bastard. At nightfall, I will break that boy Naruto and his friends free. Then, I will send them to a place I know will be safe. Kumogakure. I can't keep them safe here in the Rotarian Empire." Inuyasha said.

"Are you sure about this? Won't you get in trouble?" Tsunade asked.

"Not really. If a prisoner escapes prison, the police are still required to capture him. But, the police usually put the prisoner on a boat and send him to a very cold region of the world where he will be free but always suffering in the cold. If a prisoner escapes the empire he is a freeman. If someone breaks a prisoner out, that person as long as he escapes the empire is also a freeman." Inuyasha explained.

"You would have to leave Rota if you did break them out. Would you care if you left Rota?" Tsunade asked.

"I know who guards the prison. Yura, Enmu, and Tsubaki. I can kill those three without a problem. If I kill them and cover my tracks, then I can set your friends free and nobody will know." Inuyasha replied with confidence.

"Tsubaki? Who is she? I know who Yura and Enmu are. But Tsubaki, I never heard of her." Tsunade responded.

"Tsubaki. Not much is known about her. Along with the other members of our family including myself she was revived by Kaluna. She died by the hands of a demon slayer like some of the others like Doma and Mukago. Apparently her brother who had survived has joined the demon slayer corps after her death. And begged Chance to kill him and bring him back to life so that he too is unable to die again. That man's name is Obanai Iguro. He was never given his Aura-Sun name and thus was never included in the Aura-Sun family tree book." Inuyasha explained.

"He wants to eliminate the corps right? Why is that?" Tsunade asked.

"Because of the woman who lives in his head rent free. Kanae, she was once a hashira and "The strongest Swordswoman in the world" She had brought Chance to the village where he spent many months. He grew to love the village and the people who inhabited it. But after he killed her the trauma has caused a growing desire to eliminate the village's existence and thus take another step towards forgetting that he killed her." Inuyasha explained.

"How do you know all of this?" Tsunade asked.

"I overheard a conversation between him and Yakumo, the girl who takes care of his dog and cardinals." Inuyasha answered.

Once nighttime arrives Inuyasha grabs his sheathed sword and rushes out.

Meanwhile in the prison

"He is on his way. How ridiculous. He lacks a nichirin sword and he plans to kill us? No one can kill me. I refuse to be killed. I REFUSE TO BE KILLED!" Tsubaki shouted.

"Take it easy. Me and Yura alone could easily kill Inuyasha alone. You will provide support. But don't you die. You're needed by the king. Escape if things get bad, for example one of us dies." Enmu replied.

"He plans to kill us. Yet me and Tsubaki are both immortal. How would he be able to do it?" Yura asked.

"I have no clue. And I have no possible way of killing Inuyasha since he too is a reincarnate." Enmu answered.

"But he said he could "Kill us" Don't tell me that was a bluff. I hate when people bluff." Tsubaki replied.

"It won't matter much. We know he is coming. I have established a large web of thin strands. The closer he gets, the more likely he will be trapped before he even makes it here. Outside of the prison is where security is most established for we are trapped with a cage of webs. No one can enter or leave." Yura explained.

Outside of the prison

Inuyasha can see the thin strands in the moonlight. As he dodges the strands flawlessly. He makes it to the final obstacle he has to pass. Inuyasha pulls out a piece of paper with a seal. He uses one hand to lift one of the stands allowing the piece of paper to slide through the small space. Inuyasha drops the piece of paper and then lets go of the strand. Inuyasha's palm was cut by the strand but almost instantly regenerated. Inuyasha then weaves hand signs and then teleports onto the piece of paper.

"Good thing that Sesshomaru gave me this piece of paper long ago. Without it, I would have never been able to enter this place." Inuyasha thought to himself.

Inuyasha sees Enmu, Yura, and Tsubaki staring at Inuyasha in surprise inside of the prison

Inside of the prison

"The madman did it. He got through my defenses." Yura said in shock.

"Oh well. I will deal with them. Yura, set strands around the prisoners and when I snap my fingers, you are to kill them immediately." Enmu ordered.

"Right." Yura replied.

Enmu punches the window destroying the glass. Enmu then jumps to ground level.

Outside of the prison

"Inuyasha. Like the despicable dog you are, you came seeking vengeance for my comments about your questionable relationship with your wife and to save those pathetic Konoha Shinobi. I would never expect a fellow demon to have a heart for humans. It's pathetic really." Enmu said.

"Shut up! I'm not saving them because I care for them. I'm only saving them for my wife." Inuyasha argued.

"If you take a step or draw your sword. Those prisoners you wish to save will be killed. Yura has them at a metaphorical gunpoint" Enmu replied.

"What? Is that supposed to scare me or something?" Inuyasha asked.

Enmu was confused by Inuyasha's response. Suddenly Enmu is kicked in the face and sent a fair distance away from the prison. Sesshomaru approaches Enmu who quickly recovers from the attack and stands up, drawing his nichirin sword.

"Ah the addict. I should have known you would help your brother. Let me guess, you chugged a bottle of rum before coming to duel with me." Enmu said.

"Half a bottle, I'm trying to cut down on alcohol and drugs. For the sake of those I care about." Sesshomaru replied.

"Progress is progress. Unfortunately, I'm going to kill you before you make a full recovery. You won't be able to return to the Mizukage and that annoying little girl you travel with." Enmu responded with a smile.

An explosion goes off in the background.

"It seems Inuyasha has entered. I'm going to kill you for disrespecting my daugther and the woman brave enough to take care of her while I'm not in the greatest of positions." Sesshomaru declared.

"Go on doggie, entertain me." Enmu replied.

Previously

Inuyasha draws his blade. A rusted, chipped, and battered Katana. But it the sword transforms, the blade transforms into an oversized dog's fang. The cross guard transforms into a large patch of fur. Inuyasha then swings his blade causing a large amount of energy to crash into the wall of the prison complex thus allowing him to enter.

Inside of the prison

"Damn it! Sesshomaru got in the way. No matter. I will use my strands of hair to block the pathways to the top floor where we currently stand. If he is captured and defeated before he reaches our location then we win." Yura said.

"Are there any limits to your abilities?" Tsubaki asked.

"Yes. But I can control more than what I'm using now. No need to worry." Yura answered.

Inuyasha then jumps through the window and uses a lighter energy blast to break down the bars that have kept our heroes confined in their cramped cell.

"Run!" Inuyasha shouted.

Our heroes do so without uttering a single word. They jump from the window one by one using their chakra to cushion the impact of falling from about 6 stories.

Yura then uses her hair strands to capture Inuyasha who is defenseless to Yuras attack.

"Tsubaki, bring those damn shinobi back." Yura ordered.

"Fine. I can't stand these rats." Tsubaki replied.

Tsubaki jumps down and begins to pursue our heroes.

At our heroes

As our heroes run away to freedom Sakura asks

"Where are we going Kakashi sensei?"

"As far away from here as possible. We need to escape the entire nation." Kakashi answered.

"Kakashi. I sense someone is catching up to us. Seems this person has great speed." Kurenai alerted.

"Listen up everyone, I'm going to hold this person back. I will buy time for the rest of you to escape. I have become stronger than before. Besides, even if I die, I have faith that Chance will revive me." Mew said.

"Mew, it's not a good idea to fight alone. Maybe if we all fought together. We could outnumber and overpower this person." Sakura proposed.

"That would be a good idea, if we were not facing an Aura-Sun. I'm pretty sure they are going to have the newbie come and kill us. Mind you one of the Aura-Suns of course with the help of Shannon killed several S-Rank missing nin. This same Aura-Sun can also revive anybody as long as she has a sacrifice and remains of the person she is reviving. If we all were to fight, at worst we all would be killed, and at best a few of us will be killed while the others are captured. If any of you were to die, it would be too tragic. You all are friends with each other. You all have tight bonds. I don't want you to lose those bonds. That's why I'm going." Mew replied.

Mew turns around and runs in the opposite direction.

At Tsubaki

Tsubaki purses our heroes. Suddenly she sees Mew running towards her.

"This girl got a death wish to fight me, the dark priestess!" Tsubaki thought to herself.

Tsubaki summons snakes from the sleeves of her kimono. They extend with long reach and each snake reaches with murderous intent. Showing their intimidating fangs. Mew draws her blade and slays the Mew was distracted by these snakes. Three snakes larger than the ones Tsubaki attacked with slither undetected on the ground at a remarkable speed. Before they strike an unsuspecting Mew, lightning bolts from above electrocute the snakes.

"What?" Mew asks herself as she looks up.

Mai sits on a tree branch on a tall tree.

"Hey kid." Mai said.

"Who are you? What are you doing?" Tsubaki asked.

"Protecting this girl and the others who tried to eliminate a screwed up surveillance network. This girl also means a lot to king Chance. Listen honey, killing this girl is pointless since she would just be reincarnated by Kaluna. So just stop and go back to doing whatever you were doing previously." Mai answered.

"She is still a criminal. And thus I am legally obligated to capture her, but I prefer killing her. It's easier and more entertaining." Tsubaki replied.

"Is she really a criminal? For trying to protect her right to privacy. Which is a right and a law here in Rota. So she did have to break a few laws but it was for a just cause." Mai argued.

"I don't care if it was just or not. I was ordered to capture her and I'm going to do just that." Tsubaki replied.

Tsubaki then weaves hand signs and launches two wind blasts that separates Mai and Mew.

"It's time to use that power the Sannin gave me." Tsubaki thought to herself.

Suddenly from her shoulder a curse mark appears with three snakes connected together in a circle. Powerful chakra radiates from her body as she summons two snakes. Manda and the white snake sage.

"Oh, it's you. The brat that demanded to be taught senjutsu." The sage spoke.

"AHH! How dare a small fry like you summon me the great Manda. You better have sacrifices for me or else I will kill you!" Manda threatened.

"I'm not scared by two serpents. You are weak compared to me. The Dark Priestess Tsubaki! Now, White snake, take care of that bastard blonde wrench. Manda, you will accompany me as you will kill and eat Mew, the lover to the king. A worthy meal for a worthy snake. " Tsubaki replied.

"Fine." Manda responded.

Nekomata a giant ninneko is summoned by Mew. Then Gamabunta is summoned as Jiraiya stands atop the large toad.

"What business do you have with Orochimaru?" Jiraiya asked.

"The pale white one? It was about 6 years ago, the village me and my family were living in was attacked. My parents were killed during the attack but this pale man arrived and killed the attackers single handedly. Afterwards I asked the man how I could have power like he possessed. He offered me his power in exchange for me and my brother's loyalty. I accepted the offer but my brother didn't. He thought something was off about him. But in reality he just bit me on the neck and gave me amazing power. Unfortunately I died of illness about a year later. Orochimaru even tried saving my life, I was like a daughter to him, he said." Tsubaki explained.

"Orochimaru, he would never act like that. He must have been deceiving this girl in order to use her for her power. I can tell she is a part of the Aura-Sun clan based on her power. She even has the same look in her eye as most of the others. Pure evil." Jiraiya thought.

"Sir. I hate to say this. But I can read your thoughts. My name is Mai Valentine Aura-Sun. Daughter to Melina, someone who likes you. But do not think my family are all Satan's creatures." Mai said.

"What? She told me she only had one child." Jiraiya replied.

"She lied to make herself look younger to take advantage of mens feeling of pity and attraction to her body to get free stuff and such. She's also slightly insecure about her age. I was her first child and Chance was the second." Mai explained.

Manda charges at Gamabunta head on.

"You wanna fight, you filthy serpent." Gamabunta said drawing his blade.

"A toad with a sword. Never thought I'd ever see that. But that sword is large and lethal. I must stop this." Tsubaki thought to herself.

"STOP MANDA AND FALL BACK!" Tsubaki ordered.

Manda ignores this order and still charges at Gamabunta who is ready to duel with the serpent. Gamabunta attempts to slice Manda with his tanto but the snake manages to evade and coils around Gamabunta attempting to suffocate the toad. Jiraiya then jumps onto Mandas head.

"Oh no." Tsubaki said.

Tsubaki summons more snakes to attack Jiraiya but Jiraiya uses his Fire Release: Flame Bullet to defeat the snakes. Jiraiya then uses his hair to restrain Tsubaki. Jiraiya then places a seal on Tsubaki that paralyzes her.

Jiraiya dispels Gamabunta to save his life. Meanwhile, Nekomata desperately claws the elusive snake sage.

"Why did this girl summon me? I'm nowhere near capable of combat." The great snake sage wondered to herself.

"Because I was going to use you to gain the respect of the other snakes." Tsubaki said using her telepathy.

"Old man. Do you have more of those seals? We need to pacify these snakes." Mai asked.

"Yes. I brought several because I notice that your family tends to stay in groups." Jiraiya answered.

"Close your eyes." Mai replied.

Jiraiya closes his eyes as Mai throws a large ball of electric release chakra and tosses it at Manda. The orb explodes releasing a blinding light that temporailly blinds everyone except for Mai and Jiraiya.

"Open your eyes and pacify them!" Mai shouted.

Jiraiya places these special seals on the snakes.

"Good job." Mai said.

"Thanks. Now what are we going to do about them?" Jiraiya asked.

"We must keep Tsubaki sealed until the prisoners escape the Rota empire." Mai answered.

"What prisoners?" Jiraiya asked.

"Oh you didn't know. Some Konoha shinobi got caught trying to dismantle an underground surveillance network earlier today. Then someone broke them out and now they are on the run. But I must ask, why did you interfere in this battle?" Mai explained.

"Personal reasons. Now I will bring this girl home with me. Kill those snakes so no one else can use them. Jiraiya replied.

The snakes dispel as Tsubaki falls to the ground.

"Alright, nevermind. On a different note, do you know who any of the Konoha prisoners are?" Jiraiya asked.

"Yeah. I believe one of them was named Naruto Uzumaki. The boy who spends a lot of time with my little brother." Mai answered.

Jiraiya's face goes ghostly pale.

"Naruto. NARUTO! Where did he go?!" Jiraiya asked frantically.

"He went north of here." Mew answered, still on top of Nekomata.

"Thanks." Jiraiya thanked quickly before dashing off to the north.

"He said he was going to take Tsubaki home. Oh well, guess I'll do it myself." Mai said to herself.

Justa s she said that Milunka points her rifle at Mais' back.

"Don't move, traitor!" Milunka shouted.

"Sneaky bastard." Mai replied.

As Mew looks on in shock, someone else appears behind her.

"Don't move." The girl ordered.

"Nekoamata. Let us down." Mew ordered.

Nekomata does so, gently lowering onto the ground to allow the two individuals to get on the ground. Nekomata soon is dispelled. Mew and Mai are taken back to the prison.
