Chapter 35
Preparing for Battle
"They're leaving when? Tomorrow? Wow, I really didn't expect them to leave so early! And their setting up for an attack their the next day? Wow this is intense. Do you know exactly when? Awesome, you're a big help! Thanks allot! Oh shit, my dad's coming. I'll talk to you later Fujiko" Roku quickly hung up the phone only a half a second before his father opened the door. He walked to his father and hugged his hip, since he wasn't very tall. "Hello father, I sure missed you! You look very... errr... cool today-"
"You're still grounded..."
"But dad!"
"Are you kidding me? No really! You can't be already begging me to get you out of this... it has only been a month, If that!"
"That's not fair though! What we did ended up helping you out!"
"That's not the point! You destroyed the house! You disobeyed me!"
"And it's been a whole month!"
"Not long enough..."
"But dad-"
"You know, the more you fight this, the longer your punishment will be. You only have about (checks his watch) 5 more months to go before the house is fixed, don't push it to 6 for when we get home."
Roku pulled his arms away from his father in anger. "I can't believe this! We helped you out and this is the thanks we get?"
"Let this be a lesson to you... don't help" Sesshomaru said as he walked into his room and shut the door. Roku growled in frustration and went back to his own room, where Ryoko sat on the bed looking at a map. His head shot up as he walked into the room, but once he realized it was just Roku, he went back to looking at the map.
"What's all this?" Roku said as he looked at all the markings and paths marked out in pen.
"This is a copy of the map that Dad, and uncle Inu yasha where looking at. This is where they are going, and the paths they're taking!"
"How the hell did you get that?"
"I found it in dad's room and I copied it. I'm sure it will be helpful. We'll be able to avoid father and his people as long as we stay away from these paths. "This" He pointed at the place on that map that had an X with a circle "This is where everything is going down."
"Ryoko... I'm starting to rethink this. I mean, what exactly are we going to do? All of these people they are bringing to this place... they are all full blooded demons. I mean, these people are serious. Maybe we should forget about this. This is way out of our league" said Roku.
Ryoko immediately stopped what he was doing and looked to Roku. "Out of our league?! That's exactly what this is all about! Just because they're older and full blooded demons, they are better! Well, we can be just as good!"
"That isn't exactly what I mean Ryoko! They have like an army going after this guy! Who knows what's at the end!"
"I... know some people that can help us"
"People? Like who?"
"Other demons that can help!"
"And how do you know these people? We're the only demons in our school! I mean, besides that slimy frog lookin' kid."
"Well, actually... they are members of the Panther Demon gang"
"They're WHAT?! Ok Ryoko, I think you're going a bit far with this. And who do YOU know?! Why are they helping us?! Why haven't you told me any of this yet! I'm in on this too you know!!
"Oh so you're still in! See, you had me wondering by your cowardliness"
"Hey! I am not a coward! And I never said I wasn't going. I just feel that I should know what the hell is going on seeing as how I'm going to be there too."
"And I agree, little brother!"
"Little brother?! WE'RE TWINS!"
"Yeah well, technically, since I was born 2 minutes before you, I'm the older one"
"Ohh what a bunch of crap" Roku retorted.
"Anyway, I might be young, but I know the right kids. Do you remember Toran?"
Roku stood there for a minute, taping his finger on his chin, trying to put the name to the face.
"Toran... that cat demon that lives over by the liquor store that you use to have a crush on?"
"What?! I never had a crush on her!"
"Yes you did! You use to hang out with her all the time when she lived across the street."
"Anyway, yeah that's her, she's the leader of that gang now."
"Really? She can't be older then 13 by now..."
"Yeah well, apparently, she's powerful enough for her age for that not to matter! I wish we could get recognition like that."
"How did you get them to help us?"
"I made her a deal, I would pay her 2000 dollars, I gave her $200, and told her I would give her 800 dollars once she met us here," he said as he pointed to a place not to far away from Sesshomaru's checkpoint. "And the other half when we got back to the city. After all, we don't really know her that well and we have no reason to trust her"
"Two thousand?! You only have like 1000 dollars in your piggy bank!"
"Oh right, ummmm, your money was taken to help the cause..."
"You took my money and didn't even ask?!"
"You want to do this don't you?"
"Well yeah"
"Then, we split the cost for the help."
"Fine! Not like I could say no now!"
"Well then, it's settled."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Sesshomaru-san, everything has been loaded onto both planes. Kouga and Miroku's plane is ready for take off, and the only thing missing from yours is you"
"Good!" Sesshomaru said to the small fat man. He pulled a bag over his shoulder and walked up the steps to the plane. Everything was good and ready to go. Hopefully they would finally be able to bring down Naraku...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Inside the planes cargo, two large suitcases began to move on their own. Both were finally ripped apart and out sprang two small demon boys.
"That was easy!" Roku exclaimed.
"I knew it would work..." Ryoko replied as he pulled back out the map.
"Do you really know how to use that thing?"
"Don't worry, we'll be fine... I brought a compass"
"So how exactly are the panther demons getting there?"
"I don't know. All they said was they had their own means of transportation."
"Huh... I wonder what that is..."
The flight was long and hot. They were prepared for a long flight, they brought plenty of bottles of water and junk food. Not to mention their PSPs as well so they wouldn't get bored. After a few hours, they passed out, falling asleep all the way there. Ryoko woke up 5 hours later, feeling the plane tap to the ground. He rubbed his eyes sleepily and looked around.
"We're here! Roku wake up!" he crawled over to him and shook him awake. Roku blinked up at his brother, yawning widely, showing his fangs. He looked around and sprang awake, remembering where he was.
"Once the plane comes to a stop, we'll jump out and go meet the panthers at the meeting point."
And that's exactly what they did, the second they felt the plane stop. They opened the emergency door and they both jumped out, holding their bags on their backs before the employees came around to get the bags. They easily jumped right over the fence. They ran past the small city by the airport, and into the forest.
"It's strange" Ryoko began, as he ran beside his brother at demon speed, "I've never been in the forest before, and yet, I've never felt more at home."
"Yeah, I know what you mean. Something about this place fills me with energy!"
"That's the place right there, i'm pretty sure." Ryoko said as they approached a field of long yellow grass surrounding a small lake.
They stopped at the point where large rocks formed a small water fall. "Doesn't seem like they're here yet..."
"Well this figures! If they take to long then we'll fall really behind..." Roku huffed, crossing his arms over his chest.
"We have plenty of time, Dad and uncle Inu yasha still have to set everything up and meet up with everyone." Ryoko replied before he checked his watch. "We should be fine for another few hours actually"
"No need to wait any longer"
There stood a pretty girl with long blue hair, pale skin, and dark blue eyes. Her lips made her look cold, she was surrounded by four other cat demons. They were all fairly young.
"I can't believe we didn't smell them" Roku whispered to Ryoko.
The youngest was a fuzzy short boy with whiskers, cat ears, and cat like eyes. He couldn't have been older than 8 years old. Then there was another girl, a little shorter than the blue haired cat demon. She had long brown hair, with flowers holding it all behind her ears. Her smile showed her cat like fangs, and her teal eyes made her seem almost innocent, and her blue kimono hung a bit loosely on her. Then there was a girl with fiery red spiky hair, and red eyes that matched. She seemed to be in her mid teens. The oldest of the bunch was a rather large male cat demon, at least 17. His brown hair almost covered his pointed ears, but not quite.
"Hey Toran" Ryoko waved.
"Ryoko, I'm glad to be doing business with you... such a pleasure to do business with old friends..."
"Yeah well, here is the rest of the first half" Ryoko pulled an envelope out of his pocket and handed it to Toran. She smiled and graciously took it.
"Allow me to introduce the others. The short one is Bunza ("Yo" said the fuzzy one), That ones Shunran" she said, pointing to the pretty one with the baggy blue kimono. "Hey there" she greeted them in a friendly manner. "This one is Karan ("Hey" replied the one with the spiky red hair), And the big guy is Shuran." He simply nodded his head in a silent hello.
"You only brought four others?" Roku ran his claws through his spiky white hair, clearly a bit worried.
"Trust me, we are the best of our gang. We will be all you need." Toran replied.
"Let's get down to business" Ryoko said, pulling the marked map out of his backpack. He set it down on a rock, and they all surrounded it. "This is the place Naraku is. The circle around it is a 100 mile radius around the place where we believe traps are laid about. It's a wide radius, but we can't be to careful. We are right outside the circle, here" he pointed at the map, indicating their position. "Remember, we aren't the only one's going there, we can't let these other demons know we are here"
"But, aren't we helping them?" Shunran asked.
"Well yeah, but it's complicated. We can't let them know we are there until we need to" Roku replied.
"We'll take this path, farthest from the paths they are taking. It's a bit farther off, but it's ok. They don't plan to attack until tomorrow morning at around 4 o'clock. We'll fall in about twenty minutes after that. We'll be stopping here to rest until then" Ryoko said pointing to another part of the map, inside the circle marked on the map.
"Well, let's go then!" said Karan.
"Ok, don't forget about the traps, we have to watch out for each other" Roku said.
They all nodded and took off to the trees, leaping from tree to tree.
"Shall we?" Toran winked at Ryoko as she turned around and ran down the forest. Ryoko and Roku immediately followed, trailing the path to the northwest.

Ring Ring
Sesshomaru felt his pockets for his cell phone. He had just landed 10 minutes ago and he's already getting calls. He found his phone in his right pocket of his pants and flipped it open. "Hello?"
"Sesshomaru! Finally! I've been trying to get a hold of you for forever!"
"Rin? What is it?"
"It's the boys... they haven't come home from school and its almost 8:00 here! I've called the school and they said that Ryoko and Roku didn't even show up for school today! But I drove them to school myself!"
Sesshomaru's eyes narrowed into slits. What were those boys up to? "You don't think they some how got on the plane?"
"I don't know what to think! They didn't go to school and they haven't been home. Maybe they did, maybe i'm over reacting, but you know how they are! I'm worried."
"Well, if they are here, we will find them."
"I'll call you if I hear from them"
"Yeah... me too. Goodbye" he replied before hanging up the phone.
It didn't take long to get to one of the meeting places they planned on meeting. Waiting was another thing. It took a few hours for everyone to show at both locations, the one to the north of the 100 mile radius, and the one to the south.
"Inu yasha! Old friend! It's been a life time!"
Sesshomaru and Inu yasha turned around to see the bright fangs of a smiling demon. He had long black hair, red eyes, and a strange marking on his forehead.
"At least five!" Inu yasha said as he shook the demons hand. "So Hiten! Where is your brother? Manten?"
Hiten looked to the ground, "He died not to long after the last time I saw you. That was hundreds of years ago..."
"How did he die?"
"He killed himself. But let us speak no more of it! That was many years ago. So what is the plan?"
"We go south, while the other's from the south come north. We'll stop a few miles before the place, and attack early in the morning. We'll sandwich him in."
"Sounds simple..."
"These are simple times" Sesshomaru replied.
"Hey Hiten, aren't you going to introduce me?" A girl approached and immediately made herself known.
"Oh, heh, This is Soten, my little sister" This was obvious just by looking at her. She looked just like him, but with more girlish features. She was very very young.
"Uhhh, Hiten... How old is she?" asked Inu yasha.
"She's 17"
"Hiten, my daughter's not that much younger than her. Are you sure-"
"Don't worry Inu yasha, She's more powerful than she looks. It would be worse not to have her with us, trust me"
"Ok whatever"
More and more demons showed up. Most of them were real old friends from way back in the day. It was incredible how many of them were still alive. Princess Abi, Gyuho, Shiori, the other half demon, Royakan, and many more old friends. It was almost like a reunion, with a battle to the death. Finally, after everyone had showed up, they took off.
"Inu yasha!" Sesshomaru pulled him off to the side as they walked the path. "I have reason to believe that Ryoko and Roku are here"
"Here! Are you kidding me?!"
"Unfortunately no, They already have left if they have showed up. I don't even know how they knew when we were leaving..."
"They are pretty smart"
"To smart for their own good" replied Sesshomaru.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tsuki had been following Naraku's scent for days. It lead her into the forest only a few hours ago, and she was already near the source, she was sure of it. She had set her mind to this and she wasn't leaving until she got what she wanted. She only killed a few people on the way. Her red eyes searched the large palace she knew that ugly demon was inside.
Her throat vibrated with a low growl, she could smell him, he was right behind her. She turned around fast with her claws out in a swiping motion, but he wasn't there.
"It's about time Tsuki, I've been waiting for you" He was right behind her... so close she could feel his breath on her neck. Her features smeared with anger as she was about to do it again, only this time, he caught her wrists in the act. "You may be full demon now. But you're NOTHING compared to me! Do you think I would give this to you if you could beat ME?!" he gripped her wrists harder as she squirmed and screamed, trying desperately to get free. She finally calmed down and looked him dead in the eye with her horrible red ones. Before he knew it, she pulled her wrists apart and used them to lift herself and kick him straight in the face.
He stumbled back only for a moment, but it was enough to make him let go. He was getting angry himself now. She ran to charge at him and before she reached him, the earth under her feet became unstable and some how grabbed her feet, causing her to fall to the ground. While she was down, bones surrounded her in a cage like manner, lifting her off the ground. It hovered in front of Naraku. She growled ferociously as she reached out her claws, trying to grab his throat. He simply laughed at her useless attempts.
"I'll let you go" he said, and she paused her struggling. "You will kill the ones you couldn't kill before... once they are dead, nothing can stop you" Her eyes narrowed as these words escaped his lips.
"That's right, you know of those I speak. Kill them, and then if you so desire, come for me" and with these words, he vanished. She growled and screamed viciously, trying to get out. She eventually wore out her energy after many hours and she stopped and sat down, her glowing red eyes hidden by her bangs, just waiting.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A/N: I don't really think Naraku is ugly, ohhh contrare, every time he says something that should be something bad. I go, "Well, i would love if he did that to me!" Ok it might be sick, and i might hate spiders, but i would hit that. The youngest of the Panther gang isn't really a panther deva in the show. He trained under Totosai at the same time Inu yasha did. But I decided, since he is a cat demon, to make him part of the panther gang. So, to whoever is still reading, did you enjoy the chapter? I hope so, allot of shit is about to go down, I think we just might be nearing the end! The end... creepy isn't it? Did you know that the smartest man in the world prodicted after putting all the possible ways the earth could be destroyed, that we are a doomed world and after 400 years, at least one of these hundreds of possibilities should happen. The fact that the man cant really talk, move, and is getting old might make him get a bit crazy though. Who knows!! To tell you the truth, I'm just stoned and rambling... dont forget to review!!!
Arianna
A/N: I'm a little stumped now... i have so much i want to put down but i'm not sure exacally how i want it to go... that hasn't happened to me for a while. It's different then a writer's block, but yet the same. Anywayz I've been going to allot of WoW raids and also am in the proccess of learning japanese, so i have little time, but I still try to find the time to update when i can... i hope someone is still reading...

They all nodded and took off to the trees, leaping from tree to tree.

Sesshomaru felt his pockets for his cell phone. He had just landed 10 minutes ago and he's already getting calls. He found his phone in his right pocket of his pants and flipped it open. "Hello?"
"Sesshomaru! Finally! I've been trying to get a hold of you for forever!"
"Rin? What is it?"
"It's the boys... they haven't come home from school and its almost 8:00 here! I've called the school and they said that Ryoko and Roku didn't even show up for school today! But I drove them to school myself!"
Sesshomaru's eyes narrowed into slits. What were those boys up to? "You don't think they some how got on the plane?"
"I don't know what to think! They didn't go to school and they haven't been home. Maybe they did, maybe i'm over reacting, but you know how they are! I'm worried."
"Well, if they are here, we will find them."
"I'll call you if I hear from them"
"Yeah... me too. Goodbye" he replied before hanging up the phone.
It didn't take long to get to one of the meeting places they planned on meeting. Waiting was another thing. It took a few hours for everyone to show at both locations, the one to the north of the 100 mile radius, and the one to the south.
"Inu yasha! Old friend! It's been a life time!"
Sesshomaru and Inu yasha turned around to see the bright fangs of a smiling demon. He had long black hair, red eyes, and a strange marking on his forehead.
"At least five!" Inu yasha said as he shook the demons hand. "So Hiten! Where is your brother? Manten?"
Hiten looked to the ground, "He died not to long after the last time I saw you. That was hundreds of years ago..."
"How did he die?"
"He killed himself. But let us speak no more of it! That was many years ago. So what is the plan?"
"We go south, while the other's from the south come north. We'll stop a few miles before the place, and attack early in the morning. We'll sandwich him in."
"Sounds simple..."
"These are simple times" Sesshomaru replied.
"Hey Hiten, aren't you going to introduce me?" A girl approached and immediately made herself known.
"Oh, heh, This is Soten, my little sister" This was obvious just by looking at her. She looked just like him, but with more girlish features. She was very very young.
"Uhhh, Hiten... How old is she?" asked Inu yasha.
"She's 17"
"Hiten, my daughter's not that much younger than her. Are you sure-"
"Don't worry Inu yasha, She's more powerful than she looks. It would be worse not to have her with us, trust me"
"Ok whatever"
More and more demons showed up. Most of them were real old friends from way back in the day. It was incredible how many of them were still alive. Princess Abi, Gyuho, Shiori, the other half demon, Royakan, and many more old friends. It was almost like a reunion, with a battle to the death. Finally, after everyone had showed up, they took off.
"Inu yasha!" Sesshomaru pulled him off to the side as they walked the path. "I have reason to believe that Ryoko and Roku are here"
"Here! Are you kidding me?!"
"Unfortunately no, They already have left if they have showed up. I don't even know how they knew when we were leaving..."
"They are pretty smart"
"To smart for their own good" replied Sesshomaru.

Tsuki had been following Naraku's scent for days. It lead her into the forest only a few hours ago, and she was already near the source, she was sure of it. She had set her mind to this and she wasn't leaving until she got what she wanted. She only killed a few people on the way. Her red eyes searched the large palace she knew that ugly demon was inside.
Her throat vibrated with a low growl, she could smell him, he was right behind her. She turned around fast with her claws out in a swiping motion, but he wasn't there.
"It's about time Tsuki, I've been waiting for you" He was right behind her... so close she could feel his breath on her neck. Her features smeared with anger as she was about to do it again, only this time, he caught her wrists in the act. "You may be full demon now. But you're NOTHING compared to me! Do you think I would give this to you if you could beat ME?!" he gripped her wrists harder as she squirmed and screamed, trying desperately to get free. She finally calmed down and looked him dead in the eye with her horrible red ones. Before he knew it, she pulled her wrists apart and used them to lift herself and kick him straight in the face.
He stumbled back only for a moment, but it was enough to make him let go. He was getting angry himself now. She ran to charge at him and before she reached him, the earth under her feet became unstable and some how grabbed her feet, causing her to fall to the ground. While she was down, bones surrounded her in a cage like manner, lifting her off the ground. It hovered in front of Naraku. She growled ferociously as she reached out her claws, trying to grab his throat. He simply laughed at her useless attempts.
"I'll let you go" he said, and she paused her struggling. "You will kill the ones you couldn't kill before... once they are dead, nothing can stop you" Her eyes narrowed as these words escaped his lips.
"That's right, you know of those I speak. Kill them, and then if you so desire, come for me" and with these words, he vanished. She growled and screamed viciously, trying to get out. She eventually wore out her energy after many hours and she stopped and sat down, her glowing red eyes hidden by her bangs, just waiting.

A/N: I don't really think Naraku is ugly, ohhh contrare, every time he says something that should be something bad. I go, "Well, i would love if he did that to me!" Ok it might be sick, and i might hate spiders, but i would hit that. The youngest of the Panther gang isn't really a panther deva in the show. He trained under Totosai at the same time Inu yasha did. But I decided, since he is a cat demon, to make him part of the panther gang. So, to whoever is still reading, did you enjoy the chapter? I hope so, allot of shit is about to go down, I think we just might be nearing the end! The end... creepy isn't it? Did you know that the smartest man in the world prodicted after putting all the possible ways the earth could be destroyed, that we are a doomed world and after 400 years, at least one of these hundreds of possibilities should happen. The fact that the man cant really talk, move, and is getting old might make him get a bit crazy though. Who knows!! To tell you the truth, I'm just stoned and rambling... dont forget to review!!!
