lil kitsune boy

'Inuyasha!' Kagome scolded him, 'That's not very nice.' Inuyasha looked at her, 'You've known me how long, now? When have I ever been nice.' 'Whenever we run into another half-demon,' Miroku replied, 'You've always been very kind to them.' 'Whatever,' Inuyasha huffed, 'Just keep going.'

Name: Brandon Lazzerreti Age:18 Apperance: 5'10", medium build, very handsome w/ platinum hair and blue eyes Personality: cocky and self-assured, he dislikes anyone with a bigger mouth than him. He views life as one big party. Bio: Bradnon is a bit of a nomad. Living in a military household, his family traveled with each new assignment, so he never really learned to get along with others well. He learned disipline from his father, a decorated hero in the military, but doesn't use it all that often. After many years of dedicated service, his father retired and they settled down. Brandon, on the other hand, became reastless, needing some action in his life. After a while he was sent to the Titan Devolopment, hoping his energy could be put to good use. His drive and ability to fight impressed the staff, but his uncontrollability is still viewed as a liability. Power: enhanced physical attributes(perception, strength, speed, endurance and toughness) Weapons: 2 pistols, 1 broad sword, oversized mouth^_^

'The rumors came from the north, correct?' Miroku asked, 'Perhaps we should head that way.' 'Whatever,' Inuyasha said, 'Let's just get going.' 'Are you coming with us, Sasuke?' Sango asked, shouldering her Horaikotsu. Sasuke nodded, 'I need to know what's going on. It'll probably be easier if I go with you.' 'North it is, then.' Kagome stated, 'Who is going with us?' 'Of course, I'm going.' Inuyasha said. 'Us, too.' Miroku and Sango added. Shippo looked up at Shana, 'Can we go, mother?'

Inuyasha stepped forward, but Sasuke stopped him. 'If you don't mind,' he said, 'I'd like to try.' 'What are you talking about?' Kagome argued, 'You don't stand a chance against that thing!' 'So what?' Inuyasha said, 'Let him try if he wants,' he turned to Sasuke, 'Just don't come crying to me if it kills you.' 'No problem,' Sasuke replied, 'But, I've gotta try.' Sasuke stepped forward, looking straight at the demon. 'What is he thinking?' Kagome asked. 'I think you're underestimating him,' Miroku said, 'He does have demon blood. And earlier, when he was trapped by the centipede demon, he escaped using one of Inuyasha's attacks. There is probably more to him than we know.' 'So, we're just supposed let him fight a demon on his own?' Sango asked him. 'I don't see the problem,' Inuyasha interrupted, 'He wanted to fight the damn thing, and it's not like we can't save him if it gets to be too much.' Sasuke stood there, staring at the demon. It seemed thatneither would move until the demon shot out and plowed into Sasuke, sending him flying through the air and into a tree. Sasuke let out a yelp as he felt his spine pop in several places. As he fell to the ground, Inuyasha stepped forward. 'No, it's still mine.' Sasuke said, rising from the ground. 'But, you're not hurt.' Sango said, shocked, 'How?' 'Hello!' Inuyasha said, 'Demon. An impact like that doesn't even hurt.' Sasuke turned to the demon and smiled. He stepped forward, right in front of the demon again. He looked the creature right in it's black eyes. Turning his head, spitting blood onto the ground and closing his hands into fists until his knuckles popped. 'What's going on?' Kagome said, 'He's completely different from before.' 'It's his demon blood,' Miroku replied, 'it's awakening. He should return to normal once the battle is over.' Sasuke dodged as the creature attacked, over and over. It seemed that he was getting faster by the second. Narrowly avoiding the demon's punch as it slammed into the ground beside him, Sasuke wasted no time. Jumping up onto the shadow's arm, he ran up the creature's arm. As he reached the upper arm, Sasuke jumped, kicking the demon in the side of it's darkened head, sending it crashing to the ground. Sasuke looked down at the demon, 'Do me a favor,' he said, 'And wake me up when you're ready to fight for real.' Inuyasha leaned against a tree, evidently bored. 'Just kill it already.' he said. Sasuke shot him back a feral grin. Kagome turned to Miroku, 'He's going to return to normal, right?' 'I honestly don't know,' he replied, 'He should return, as long as his core personality remains the same.' 'And if it doesn't?' Miroku looked at Sasuke fighting the demon, a concerned look on his face. 'Then, we are all in quite a bit of trouble.' 'Speak for yourself, monk.' Inuyasha said, 'I could take him, any time, anywhere.' 'Inuyasha...' Kagome began. 'Kagome wait,' Sango said, then, she turned to Miroku, 'What do we do if he doesn't change back?' He looked over at Sasuke, who looked right back. 'I'm not sure,' he said, 'Maybe, if we had a way to restrain him...' At this, Keade, who'd been there watching silently, held something up in her hand. It was a necklace. 'Is that..?' Inuyasha began. 'Aye,' she said, 'The very necklace ye where around your neck, Inuyasha. The Beads of Subjugation.' 'I feel sorry for him, already.' Shippo said. 'Hey,' Kagome replied, her feeling hurt, 'I'm not that bad, am I?' Inuyasha just glared at her. 'Hey, you guys,' Sasuke interrupted, 'It's not moving anymore.' They all turned to see Sasuke facing them, not noticing the creature as it began to rise. 'Sasuke, look out!' Miroku yelled to him. Sasuke turned as the demon's hand wrapped around his waist. 'Damn,' he said as the creature began to squeeze. He yelled out in pain as he felt the demon's grip start to crush his ribs. 'I've had enough of this!' he said, bringing his hand up like a sword. He let out a quick breath as energy began to coil around his arm. 'Die!' he screamed as the energy shot out from his arm, wrapping itself aroun the creature's shadowy arm and head. He gave a tug and the energy cut it's way through demonic flesh and bone. 'That was Sesshomaru's energy whip!' Kagome said as Sasuke made his way over to them. 'What's going on here?' Inuyasha asked, gripping the Tetsusaiga. 'Indeed,' Miroku said, 'It's strange that you know all these attacks.' Sasuke looked at them, the same feral smile on his face. 'What, no 'Good job on that demon, Sasuke.'?' he asked. 'Aye,' Kaede said, 'Well done, slaying the demon.' She held up the necklace. 'Please accept this as thanks.' she continued, 'It is a great treasure from our village.' Sasuke looked at her, incredulously, 'Great treasure, huh?' he asked, 'Funny, they look like Beads of Subjugation. I know this story.' Keade sighed, 'Kagome.' Kagome smiled, 'Inuyasha. Miroku. If you would be so kind.' Inuyasha and Miroku both jumped to flank Sasuke, grabbing an arm each. 'Hey,' he said, struggling to free his arms, 'What're you..?' He pulled with all his might, pulling Miroku forward, but unable to move Inuyasha. After a moment, Kaede walked over, slipping the necklace over his head. 'Kagome.' she said, again. Inuyasha and Miroku stepped away as Kagome said. 'Sasuke... Sit!' Then, Sasuke came crashing to the ground. It was a while before Sasuke came to, but when he did he saw he was back in the house they were in before the demon centipedes had come. Some of the others were there as well. Apparently, waiting for him to wake. He held his head in his hands for a moment, trying to banish some of the pain. 'Sorry, guys.' he said, 'I don't know what came over me.' He looked down at the necklace, remembering the pain that it had caused him. 'Don't ye be thinking about taking it off.' Kaede said, 'It work work.' Sasuke looked at her, than at Inuyasha. 'It's true,' he said, 'Otherwise, I'd've taken this one off a long time ago.' He held up the necklace around his neck. 'Damn.' Sasuke said. 'Don't worry about what happened before,' Sango said, 'No one got hurt, we only put the necklace on you because we weren't sure if you'd turn back to normal or not.' Sasuke nodded, 'I guess I understand. I wouldn't want anyone to get hurt, either.' 'Anyway,' Inuyasha said, 'Now that you're awake, let's get going.'

Pretty much anything but romance. Not that I dislike it, or aren't good at that kind of thing. It's more of a... 'Why the hell would you roleplay it? It's just as easy to go out there and [I]do [/I]it.' That's my opinion, anyway. Hey, market reasearch is fun! ^_^

Ok, folks. This is for any questions or ideas you may have for my game, Inuyasha: Search for the Sword. But, before that, just for kicks... Who's kid do you think Sasuke is? It's obvious he's got dog demon blood in him, but which one? Just remember, this is 500 years in the past, so they probably wouldn't know about it. Aside from this, the thread is yours. Feel free to ask me, or each other, anything you like, or make suggestions to make the game even more fun!

Yep, exactly. I figured, since I'm currently stuck on that game, I might as well put it to use. Unfortunately, I just got to the second disc, so I'm not sure if they have any more powers, which is why I'm just going with these ones for now. If I discover more, then... ^_^ Well, I'll probably still just use these, since he's only half... Oh, and(shameless plug) I currently have a game going that is still looking for players. Inuyasha: Search for the Sword, feel free to take a look. All the major characters are still open, aside from Sesshomaru and Koga.

Eh, what the hell? I'm in every other kind of game, anyway. But, I'm not playing a high schooler, I'm done and that's it. Name: Kalvin 'Kal' Graham Age: 20 Birth date: 4/12/84 Gender: Male Height: 5'10" Weight: 197 lbs. General appearence: Silver hair, bright aqua-marine eyes and a medium build. He'd be considered very attractive if he'd smile once in a while. Under his clothes, his body is scarred, due to many battles. Species: Half-wingly Winglies: a mystical race that, while it can pass as human, believes that humans aren't ready to accept the supernatural. They are naturally adept at combat and magic, being both faster and stronger than humans, but most choose to stick with one or the other. Bio: Kal spent his life as a human, being raised by his father. His mother, a wingly, was executed for the finding of the winglies' existance by her husband, who the winglies couldn't find. When Kal was fourteen, the winglies came for his father. Being human, he didn't stand a chance against the supernatural executioners. Kal barely escaped with his life. He wandered around for four years, running from the winglies all the way. Until, when he was eighteen, he was found by a secret organization dedicated to keeping the general public from knowing about the supernatural world around them. They took him in, protected him from the winglies and taught him how to defend himself. Now, thanks to his training and unique bloodline, he's become almost as powerful any wingly and he still has a ways to go. Using his special abilities, he works for the organization, keeping the world from knowing what goes bump in the night.

'Huh, You can come if you want,' Inuyasha said, 'I don't care. Just remember to stay out of my way.' Sasuke just stood there, staring. He couldn't believe what was going on. Demons, and centipedes and... who knew what was next? Then, Miroku stepped towards the cat girl and, looking down to his hand, took hers. 'I was wondering,' he said, looking somewhat sad, yet eager, 'If you would bear my children?' 'That didn't take long,' Kagome said, 'She's only been here for two minutes.' 'This happens a lot?' Sasuke asked. 'Everytime.' Inuyasha answered, then he called to Miroku, 'If you're done, monk, we can get going.' 'Where?' Kagome asked, confused. 'Isn't it obvious?' Inuyasha replied, 'To find Naraku and this sword everyone keeps talking about.' Then, he turned to Sasuke. 'You coming, kid?' he asked. Sasuke looked at him blankly for a moment. 'Uh, yeah, sure.'

[I]An exorcist?[/I] Eric thought, taking special care to avoid the man. Most of the trip was spent in quiet reflection, until... [I]'We can't risk you losing control. As painful as it is to remember, I'm going to ask you to keep it in mind. Remember why you need to keep your wits about you.'[/I] [I]I know that, damnit.[/I] he thought, remembering Red's plea from before they left and then deciding that he needed to think about something else. 'Look into your heart you will find, There's nothing there to hide, Take me as I am, take my life, I would give it all, I would sacrifice, Don't tell me it's not worth fighting for, I can't help it, there's nothing I want more...' 'What was that?' Lee asked. Eric looked up, not realizing they'd heard him. 'It's a really old song,' he said, 'One of my hobbies, before what happened. Some of my favorite songs are hundreds of years old.' 'So, what was it?' Carl asked. 'Oh, duh,' Eric said, ''Everything I Do,' it's by a guy named Brian Adams.' 'Who's that?' Lee asked. 'Early rock artist.' Eric replied, pulling himself up in the seat, 'Pretty good, but he had a thing for ballads.' 'That sounded pretty good,' Lee said, 'You ever think about doing that for a career?' Eric smiled, 'You know, someone else used to say I should do that, too.' 'Then why don't you?' Eric didn't answer. He just looked out at the bodies on the ground, a look of sadness on his face.

Asher heard Damion call his name, demanding he show himself. He looked around, trying to find the man, but could see nothing with all the battles going on around him. A few moments later, he saw Rion riding by on a horse, away from the battle. [I]Can't blame him for running.[/I] he thought, [I]But, I can't dwell on that. I have to get to the castle and end this.[/I] Asher headed for the castle. He had to end this, finally. He'd fight Damion. Kill him and free the people from the oppression of the tyrant.

Sasuke looked at the girl addressing him, she looked a bit older than him, but not by much. Something about her seemed a bit off, like she was more than she looked. Suddenly, it seemed all he could smell was... [I]cat?[/I] [I]Oh well, it's not much weirder than anything else going on here...[/I] 'Sasuke,' he said, offering his hand, 'Haruno Sasuke.'

Manga, yes. Anime, no. If only because America tends to screw up a lot of anime. But Shaman King is definitely kewl. What other anime do you watch, or is it just that?

Houston, we are a go! Thread's up on Adventure Square, just waiting for you. I'll leave sign ups open, just in case anyone else want's in. Thanks for the patience guys!

:: Three thousand years ago... :: The air was oppressive in the demon's workshop. The forge had been blazing for the last month as the promising young smith worked. 'Are you done yet, demon?' the man demanded. 'Patience, Amatsu Mikaboshi.' the demon replied, swinging his hammer, 'A sword of this quality takes time and skill. This is why you came to me, because to use less of either would cost more in the end.' 'I tell you, Totosai,' Amatsu threatened, 'If this sword is not perfect, there will be no escape from my wrath.' 'So you said when I began,' Totosai reminded him for what had to be the hundredth time this week, 'But your 'God of Evil' act only prevents me from concentrating on your sword, my lord.' Amatsu turned to leave, but left one more statement before he did. 'Just remember, Totosai. I [I]am[/I] the god of evil, and if that sword is not done before I return, you will find out how I earned my title.' Totosai sighed as he pulled the sword from the fire and thrust it into a pool of cool water. 'To see this sword used for such evil,' he said to the empty cave, gazing at the perfect blade through the steam, 'It breaks my heart. But, maybe someday, it can be used for good...' :: A month later... :: 'Now, Izanagi,' Amatsu declared, 'Instead of killing you, I think I will seal you away, so you can watch as I rule your world. The very world I took, in only one battle, with this sword.' Amatsu held up a small, ornate box, uttered a few words and Izanagi was sucked in, sealed away for all time. :: Present day... :: 'And that's how the legend goes.' The man said, looking around the classroom. He was in his early thirties, very handsome with close cropped brown hair and a 'lady killer' smile. This was 'Motosawa-sensei'. The teacher all the girls had crushes on, the one everyone went to for advice. 'But, Motosawa-sensei,' A girl in the third row said, 'If Izanagi was sealed away and Amatsu ruled the world, how come he doesn't now?' 'Very good question, Ms. Ieyasua.' Motosawa replied as the girl blushed, 'In the story, some of the other gods rose up to defeat Amatsu Bikamoshi. Thus, freeing the world from his reign.' 'But what about Izanagi?' another student asked, 'Would he still be locked away, or did they let him out?' Motosawa chuckled, 'I believe they would have let him out,' he said, 'Otherwise, how would we be hear? He is the 'creator god', after all.' Then Mr. Motosawa realized that one student wasn't paying the strictest attention. 'Mr. Haruno,' he said, 'Is this not interesting enough for you?' 'Sasuke,' one girl scolded him, 'Why aren't you paying attention?' Sasuke looked away from the window he'd been looking out of, back to the girl's angry face, and Motosawa's disappointed one. Brushing his raven black hair, which was in desparate need of a cut, out of his yellow eyes. 'Thank you, Ms. Umuino.' Mr. Motosawa said, 'But, she's right, Mr. Haruno. You should be listening.' Sasuke shrugged, 'I would, but I've heard all this before.' 'Really?' Motosawa asked, 'Then, please, how does it end?' Sasuke sighed, 'Amatsu was defeated by Bishamon and Ho-Masubi, sealed away and his sword was lost during the battle. Afterwards, they freed Izanagi and lived happily ever after, right?' Sasuke finished as the bell rang. 'Alright, everyone,' Motosawa said, 'I want you to write what you think about this story, no less than three pages. Class dismissed.' Everyone rose to leave, but Mr. Motosawa called Sasuke aside. 'Sasuke, is everything alright?' he asked, once most of the students were gone. 'No, why?' 'You've never zoned out in class like that before.' Mr. Motosawa said, 'Are they teasing you again?' Sasuke closed his eyes, a source of constant aggravation and ridicule since his childhood. 'No,' Sasuke said, 'It's not that. It just seems like I'm... like I'm not where I should be right now, you know?' Motosawa sighed, 'Sasuke, nobody wants to be in school...' 'It's not that,' Sasuke interrupted, 'I'm not sure what it is.' Motosawa smiled, 'Well, it seems that this is interferring with your school work, so I'm recommending that you take the rest of the day off.' :: The fuedal era... :: This battle was a long time coming. Inuyasha, one of the sons of the Great Dog Demon. Kagome, the girl with holy powers from the future. Miroku, the monk who's line was cursed by Naraku. And Sango, the demonslayer who seeks to free her brother from Naraku's control. Against Naraku himself, the demon incarnation of Onigumo. This would be the final battle. 'Now you die Naraku.' Inuyasha declared, 'Windscar!' A powerful burst of energy flew from the sword. Accompanied by a sacred arrow fired by Kagome and the Horaikotsu, thrown by Sango. While, on the other side, Miroku opened his Wind Tunnel. Naraku tried to hide behind a barrier, but the combined power of the three projectiles pushed him back into range, where Miroku's Wind Tunnel could pull him in. 'This isn't over, you insects!' Naraku cried, 'I'll be back!' Miroku closed the Wind Tunnel over Naraku's cries, sealing him inside. When he opened his hand, he saw the hole fading, until it was gone completely. 'It's gone.' he said, almost collapsing in relief. 'Really?' Kagome asked, 'The Wind Tunnel is sealed?' Miroku nodded as Kagome and Sango leaned in to look. They looked for a few moments before Inuyasha heard two sharp [I]'smack!'[/I]s. 'Some monk.' Inuyasha said, spotting something on the ground. He squatted down to look closer. 'I found the Sacred Jewel.' he said. Everyone turned to look at him. They all knew what this meant, there was a choice to be made. 'Inuyasha...' Kagome started. 'Inuyasha,' Sango interrupted, 'You don't still intend to become a full demon, do you?' Inuyasha turned, then after a few moments, tossed the Jewel to Kagome. 'You hang on to it,' he said, 'At least until we find someone to guard it properly.' :: Five Hundred and two years later... :: 'The Bone-Eater's Well?' Sasuke asked. 'Yes, that's it.' his mother replied, 'Legend has it, they used to throw demons that they'd killed into it, and they'd disappear.' 'That's kinda gross.' Sasuke said, 'Is that it?' 'Oh no,' she replied, 'Supposedly, you can use it to travel to the past, but only if you have a connection with it. But, that's just an old story.' She laughed, 'Now come inside and help me with dinner. Maybe after we're done, I can tell you about your grandfather's sword and the dog demons.' 'Again?' Sasuke asked, heavily, 'You tell me that story every other day.' 'Well, it was always one of your favorites. Now, hurry up and get inside.' As Mrs. Haruno turned to go inside, Sasuke leaned over to look inside the well. 'Bone-Eater's Well, huh?' he said to no one. Sasuke looked down, hoping, maybe, to see something. But, after a few moments, gave up to go inside. As he turned his shoe found a wet spot on the floor, but he caught himself. 'That was close.' he said, turning back to the well, 'I almost fell down there.' As he turned to leave, he heard a voice from the well. 'It breaks my heart. But, maybe someday, it can be used for good...' Suddenly, Sasuke felt dizzy. He tried to make it to the stairs, but the vertigo overcame him and he fell. He fell farther and farther, shouldn't he stop soon? Did he fall from the Earth? No, that was ridiculous. So, where did the ground go? So many things went through his mind that he almost didn't notice when he hit the ground. Sasuke coughed. He tried to stand, expecting to feel dizzy again, but was surprised to find that he felt fine. He looked up, hoping to see the wellhouse, his mother and her 'You-know-you're-not-supposed-to-do-that' look. Imagine his surprise when he saw a clear blew sky and a bird fly overhead. 'What the hell is going on here?' he said as he began to climb. Sasuke almost fell again when he reached the mouth of the well. His family's shrine was gone, replaced by forest. 'Um, where'd Tokyo go?' he asked the trees as he pulled himself the rest of the way out of the well. Sasuke walked around, trying to gain a bearing on where he was and what happened. He saw a town in the distance, so he headed there. He was almost to the town when he finally noticed something. The houses, they looked... [I]old?[/I] Like huts, but like they were newly made. [I]This has got to be a dream. That's it, I was knocked out.[/I] he thought, trying to rationalize what he was seeing. But, something about that didn't make sense. It didn't [I]feel[/I] like he was dreaming. Sasuke walked a bit, trying to find someone who could tell him where he was. As he passed, he heard people talking in their houses. They seemed to be talking about some powerful threat, and Sasuke heard mention of a sword. After half an hour, he came across an old woman. 'Hello?' he called, trying to get her attention. The old woman turned. Sasuke noticed she was dressed like a priestess, and her right eye was covered, possibly gone, by a tsuba. 'Oh, a visitor.' the old woman said, 'What can I do for thee?' [I]Thee?[/I] Sasuke thought, 'I was just wondering where I was. If you could tell me...?' The old priestess smiled, 'My name is Kaede and ye are in Edo.' she replied. 'Edo?' Sasuke asked, 'How's that possible? Edo was renamed...' Sasuke stopped. [I]'Supposedly, you can use it to travel to the past, but only if you have a connection with it. But, that's just an old story.' [/I] 'No way.' Sasuke murmured. 'What is it?' Kaede asked, ''Is something wrong?' 'Um, yeah, maybe.' Sasuke said, 'What year is it?' Kaede stopped to look at Sasuke. Noticing the jeans, the sneakers, the t-shirt and black jacket. 'Let me guess,' she said, smiling, 'There was a well involved?' Sasuke's jaw dropped, 'How did you..?' 'Come with me.' Kaede interrupted, 'There is someone you should meet.' :: Two hours later... :: 'So,' Miroku said, 'You can travel through the well, just like Kagome.' Sasuke nodded, 'I guess,' he said, 'But, you're sure I can go back whenever I want?' 'That's right,' Kagome said, 'Don't worry about a thing.' Sasuke let out a breath, looking around at them all. His eyes stuck on Inuyasha. 'You got a problem with me?' Inuyasha demanded. 'No, not at all.' Sasuke said, quickly, 'It's just... Your ears, they're...' 'Not human,' Inuyasha finished for him, 'You got a problem with that?' he asked, cracking his knuckles. 'Well, no.' Sasuke said, smiling uncomfortably, 'I think they're pretty cool. They remind me of a story.' Inuyasha turned up his nose, walking away. 'You shouldn't act so surprised,' he said, 'You think a demon would be used to that sort of thing.' 'A what?' Sasuke asked. 'Come to think of it, I have been sensing a demonic aura since you arrived.' Miroku stated. 'Wait,' Sasuke said, 'You're trying to say [I]I'm[/I] a demon?' 'Yeah.' Inuyasha said, 'Like you didn't know. Now cut the act and fess up!' 'Inuyasha.' Kagome said, 'Sit!' Sasuke flinched as Inuyasha fell to the ground with a thud. 'How the he...?' he said. 'I'm not sure how to tell you this, Sasuke,' Kagome said, reaching over to pat his hand, 'But, Inuyasha was right. You're a demon.' Sasuke pulled his hand away, standing. 'You know,' he said, 'I thought I was nuts, waking up in the fuedal era. But, you guys got me beat.' 'I know this seems hard to accept...' Miroku started. 'Don't.' Sasuke interrupted, 'Just don't, the last thing I need right now is...' Sasuke was interrupted by a loud explosion outside. 'What the hell?' Sasuke yelled, running to see what had happened. Outside he found Kaede and a few men he'd seen in the village running towards them. 'Boy!' the old priestess yelled to him, 'Get the others outside, there are demons on it's way!' Sasuke began to turn as the others ran by him, Inuyasha in the lead with his sword drawn and a red mark on his face. 'You picked a bad time to show up, demon.' Inuyasha said as Sasuke looked back, right at three fifty foot long centipedes. 'What the hell are they? Sasuke asked. 'It's a centipede demon.' Sasuke heard as something crawled up his back and sat on his shoulder. 'Who are you?' Sasuke asked, looking at the little boy on his shoulder. 'I'm Shippo,' he said, 'I'm a fox demon, and a great warrior.' Sasuke looked at him, disbelievingly. 'Ok, so I'm still a little kid.' Shippo conceded, 'But, I help out.' 'Ok, so why aren't you helping now?' Sasuke asked. 'Why aren't you?' Shippo shot back. 'What am I supposed to do?' Sasuke asked, 'I've never even been in a fight, not to mention the fact that I don't have any powers or weapons.' He finished as Inuyasha cut a demon in half with the Tetsusaiga. Shippo was about to answer when he noticed something that made him go white. One of the demons was headed straight for them. 'Run!' Shippo screamed as he jumped from Sasuke's shoulder. Sasuke turned, but too late. The next thing he knew, he was encased by a coiled centipede body. 'That's it!' Inuyasha said, 'I'm getting sick of playing with these things, I'll get that last one with my Windscar.' 'Inuyasha, no!' Sango said, 'If you use your Windscar, you'll hit Sasuke, he's trapped in there!' 'Damn it.' Inuyasha spat, 'Why'd he have to go and get himself trapped? He should just bust out of there.' Inside the centipede shell, Sasuke was freaking out. 'What the hell is going on here!?' he asked frantically. This had to be a dream, it just [I]had[/I] to. 'Am I gonna die here?' At this thought, something inside Sasuke snapped... broke, awoke, was born, he wasn't sure. All he knew was that he was not going to die here. 'Do you feel that?' Miroku asked. 'Yeah,' Sango said, 'A powerful demon aura.' 'It's about time he wised up.' was all Inuyasha said before the centipede demon blew apart. 'Iron Reaver Soul Stealer!' Sasuke cried. 'What!?' everyone asked in unison. 'Hey!' Inuyasha said, walking over to Sasuke, 'Where'd you learn how to do that?' Sasuke, out of breath, looked up at Inuyasha. 'My mom told me stories...' he said, between breaths, 'About someone who could do that... that's just what it looked like in my head, so I did it.' Sasuke stood as Inuyasha opened his mouth to say something. Inuyasha stopped as Sasuke slapped his neck. He pulled his hand away and looked down to see what it was. He saw, what appeared to be, a human...ish, flea. 'Mioga?' Inuyasha asked, 'What are you doing here?' 'Master Inuyasha,' Mioga said, popping back into a much less... flat, shape, 'I bring terrible news.' 'Yeah,' Inuyasha said, 'So, spit it out, already.' 'Rumors among the demons of late have had a startling correspondence,' he said, 'In other words, they're all about the same thing.' 'Yeah?' Inuyasha prompted, getting impatient. 'They're all about a sword.' Mioga stated, 'A sword that's powerful enough to kill a divine being in one blow!' 'So?' Inuyasha said, 'Rumors are rumors. There's no need to get so worked up about it.' 'Master Inuyasha!' Mioga said, 'Do you realize what would happen if a demon got their hands on a weapon of that power?' 'Yeah,' Inyasha replied, 'If it even exists. But, for now...' Inuyasha was cut off by a scream from Miroku. Everyone turned to see what was wrong to see the monk clutching his right hand. 'Miroku!' Kagome said, rushing over. Miroku turned away quickly as dust and rock began to tumble their way toward him, driven by the wind. 'What the hell?' Sasuke and Inuyasha asked at once. 'No.' Inuyasha said, I can't be, Naraku's dead.' 'Tell that to Miroku!' Sango said. Miroku fumbled through his robes, pulling out his prayer beads. As he wrapped them around his hand, the wind began to die. 'Ok,' Sasuke said, 'Someone wanna explain?'

Colville lay there for many minutes, before his hand instinctively reached out to pick up his gun. 'It seems ah've been takin' it too easy on these creatures.' he said, rising from the floor as he drew his other gun. 'Ah've had me fun for this trip,' he continued, leaving the room, 'Ah suppose it's time ah take this seriously.' 'Now,' he said, reaching the street, 'Where'd they get off to?'

'Freedom to the people!' the rebel forces rang the battle cry. It'd been nearly three hours, and the fighting showed no sounds of stopping. Asher didn't care. He'd fight to the point of death, even beyond, if necessary. He risked a quick glance to the other men. Thing's seemed to be going well. Most of his men were still alive and battle-worthy, they'd taken most of the outer posts and captured a few nobles. 'Freedom to the people!' Asher yelled, loud enough for his men to hear him over the din of battle, as he saw one of his men on the ground with an enemy sword about to fall. Asher rushed the soldier, tackling him to the ground. The both rolled to their feet and squared off. 'Rebel swine!' the soldier spat, 'I'll have your head!' The soldier swung, nearly decapitating Asher as he dropped to his knees and thrust his sword. The sword went through the man's shield, but not enough to hit him. The soldier threw the shield away, taking Asher's sword with it. 'Now you're unarmed, rebel.' the soldier gloated, raising his sword, 'I'll kill you, now, in the name of the king!' He cried as he brought the sword down.

'So,' Red said, pulling Eric aside, 'How have you been getting along?' Eric smiled, 'What do ya mean, Commander?' Red looked seriously at Eric, 'Eric, you know we needed special permission to allow you on this task force. The way you were when we found you...' 'I know,' Eric interrupted, 'I'm doing fine, really.' 'Eric,' Red sighed, 'We can't risk you going over the edge. After last night...' 'What about last night?' Eric asked, annoyance creeping into his voice, 'Were you watching me?' Red sighed again, preparing his defense, 'Eric... Of all the people here, we can't risk you losing control. As painful as it is to remember, I'm going to ask you to keep it in mind. Remember why you need to keep your wits about you.' Eric turned, picking up his bag and walking to the plane. 'I'll never forget,' he said, 'And I'll die before I lose myself to [I]that[/I] again.' 'I certainly hope so,' Red offered to Eric's retreating back, 'For your own sake, and everyone else's.'

Eric was halfway to the training room when he noticed something out of place. It seemed either the wall had put on a few pounds or somebody new was here. Eric walked up behind him. 'Hey, there.' he said, a smile on his face, 'Who're you?' The other man jumped, 'What the-?' 'What?' Eric asked, chuckling, 'It's not like I snuck up on you.' 'I think there are ninjas that make more noise than that.' 'Sorry,' Eric said, 'It's an old habit of mine, I'm just quieter than most. Anyway, you look bored. So, answer my question and you can come with me.' 'My name's Julius,' the man said, 'Now, where are we going? Judging by how you're dressed, the look of your eyes and the fact that you're still damp with sweat, I'd say you just had a nightmare. Where would you want to go after that?' Eric laughed, 'Hypercognition? That's a pretty strange ability, of course, I can't say much with mine. Precognition.' 'So, you're Eric Corvus?' Julius asked. 'Yeah,' Eric said, pulling to a stop, 'What else do you know about me?' 'Just what was in the file,' Julius replied, 'If there's anything else you'd like to tell me..?' 'No,' Eric said, quickly, 'Well, here we are. Training Room, where sleep is earned.' 'Sleep?,' Julius asked, 'That's why you're here?' 'Yep,' Eric replied, 'Nightmares are a bitch, especially mine. So, I had the idea to-' 'Work yourself exhausted, 'Julius interrupted, 'So you're less likely to have dreams.' 'Yeah, care to join me?'

[I]'So, having a nice time with your friends?'[/I] Eric sat straight up on his bed. He couldn't have heard what he thought he did, there was no way. That was his only thought as he sat in a cold sweat. '...Who's there?' he asked the cold darkened room around him. His eyes shot this way and that, trying to see something, anything, that would tell him what was going on. As he looked around, all he could see was the room around him as it slowly faded away into blackness. [I]'You seem to be having fun, my precious.'[/I] 'N-no,' Eric stammered, 'It c-can't be you.' [I]'Did you think I would leave forever?'[/I] Eric slowly stood as a figure materialized out of the darkness. He almost fell back on the bed as he looked into that face, [I]his[/I] face. The only physical difference was the eyes. Red, like blood. The kind that seemed to look into your soul, and wished to feed on what it found there. But, more disturbing than that, was the demeanor. Something, feral, inhuman, about this creature. 'You! What do you want?' Eric asked, frantic. [I]'Don't you know? I want what the rest of us wants. What [/I]you[I] want.'[/I] 'No, I'm not like you.' Eric spat. [I]'No, you're not like [/I]them[I]. You'd like to think so, but while they fight to protect there kind, you fight to destroy your's.'[/I] The image of his family's torn and broken bodies appeared in his mind. Along with the image of his fiance's screaming, blood covered face. Somewhere in the distance, he could hear laughter. 'You're not my kind!' Eric screamed, bolting upright as he woke. Breathing heavily, he stood from the sweat soaked bed, pulled on some pants and staggered from the room. Restful sleep would come at a price tonight, he decided, heading for the training room.

The corpse slowly staggered to its feet, glaring at Tetsuya with fierce golden eyes. [I]'Yosh, Kuroichi-sama...'[/I] There was a pause as hunter and vampire alike heard heavy footsteps coming towards the room. After a few moments, the door swung open revealing Colville standing, guns drawn. 'Who are you?' Kuroichi demanded, angrily. Colville didn't answer. 'In the name of God, impure souls of the living dead shall be banished into eternal damnation. Amen.' he said, opening fire.

Colville looked out from the top of Tokyo Tower. 'Aye, but this place has me bored.' he said to the cold night, 'The assassin is nowhere to be found and the rest seem a little... flat.' 'Oi, but what's this, 'Colville said, leaning over the railing and looking down towards the streets, 'It seem I be sensin' something down there. Perhaps I should take a closer look. An hour of walking later and Colville found himself outside a building. 'Now, I wonder what could be in here.' he said, 'There be at least four or five, not all the same, but they be in there.' he said, twirling his guns in his hands. 'I wonder if they like visitors.' he said, laughing.
