To Miru - I try to catch all the spelling errors, but I never worry about gramer because stories are not research papers and people often do not think in gramatically correct terms. I'm glad you like the story and I hope this next part doesn't disappoint.

The World of Songwinds Bishounen and Bishoujo:

Demoonica's Story

by

Lady Demoonica Darkmoon

o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o

"You creep!" Demoonica yelled at Martin as she peeled back Inuyasha's Fire Rat Robe and the once white undershirt. "Your Bishoujo SHOT him!"

"Ow! Dang that hurt! Stop prodding!" Inuyasha yelled. Demoonica pulled out a potion for him to drink.

"You can't fight." Kagome dropped her head down so her forehead rested against Inuyasha's. "I'm so sorry."

Demoonica stood up. "Inuyasha can't battle anymore." She bowed her head. "You win."

"Just as I said. Miss Deep, get the Chibi's, we're going to LSS-sama." Martin instructed his Bishoujo.

"Kagome... what's he talking about?" Inuyasha asked around the neck of the potion bottle.

A moment later Martin's Bishoujo landed in the clearing and started to walk over to Inu-chan and Junia. Inu-chan ran over to Kagome and grabbed onto her shirt.

"Bastered!" Inuyasha spat out. "What the hell do you think you're going to do to our son!" He tried to push himself into a sitting posistion, but the pain in his chest was too much. "AaH!"

"INUYASHA! Don't try and get up!" Kagome pushed him back to the ground.

Miss Deep took hold of Junia by the arm. "Come on, we can get you back to your family." She said to him. He tugged attempting to phase through her, but it didn't work. "Uh-uh, that won't work with me little darling, our phasing cancels each others out."

"But-" Junia sighed, he had heard the conditions of the battle and like the others he had thought Demoonica would win, so he didn't fight anymore. "I'll go." He said softly.

"That's a good kid." Martin said and patted Junia on the head.

Junia pulled back vilently. "Don't you dare touch me!"

"Uh, I'm sorry. Miss Deep, get the smaller one and we'll be on our way to LSS-sama."

"Yeah." She went to pull Inu-chan away from Kagome.

"Mama!" He held on tighter to her. "Don't let them take me! I don't want to go away!" He cried.

"Inu-chan, go with her right now... we'll set things right as soon as we see LSS-sama."

"NO!" Inu-chan growled, pushed away from Kagome, and stomped his foot on the ground. "He's a dumb man, mama! I won't go!" The small Chibi turned and with speed no one had seen him use when playing Inu-chan took off, dissapearing into the dence woods.

"But-" Marten grumbled and shook his head. "Damn kid is brainwashed." He took another BishiBall from his belt, calling forth the Bishoujo with in it. "Hinata!"

The shy kunoichi appeared and gave a bow to her trainer. "Y-yes Mr. Marten?" She asked.

"A little kid took off into the woods, a Chibi this trainer had, I need you to track him down and bring him back to me..." He paused to look up at the sky, the sun was just starting to set. "...at the Hotel. He's got long black hair and he's in a bright red outfit."

"Yes sir!" Hinata dissapeared.

"Miss Deep, we're leaving. Bring the boy, we'll contact the proper authorities in town."

o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o

[Later that night]

"Are you sure that that's the best course of plan, m'lady?" Allan questioned Demoonica.

"It has to be. Marten has Junia and his Bishoujo must have brought Inu-chan back to him by now, too." She held up the BishiGear and clicked into the Dex part of it, searching through the entries. "I'll use Inuyasha again and... and... I need to take that man by surprise!" Demoonica fumed. She sighed. "He seems to have a Bishoujo for everything, though."

"It's not going to work, wench." Inuyasha growled out. "Damn modern trinkets anyway, guns, feh."

"Not if he keeps pulling out Bishi who are so much higher in level." Allen agreed.

"Then, we train." Demoonica said, and that was the end of the conversation.

[Same time, with Marten]

Hinata appeared on the window sill. "Mar-ten, sir?"

Marten turned around smiling, but his smile faded quickly. "Where's the little kid?"

Hinata bowed her head. "I'm sorry, but I couldn't find him. The trail he left behind was easy to follow at first... th-then it just dissapeared... I-I don't know how he did it. I'm sorry."

Marten scratched his head. "Don't put yourself down about it, it's anoying me. Fine, if the kid is running, let him run. I'm sure he'll try to get back to that girl we found him with, we can get him then. Hinata! I want you to follow that girl as long as she's here."

"Understood." She dissapeared into the moonless night.

[Same time, with Inu-chan]

Inu-chan sniffed the wind. "She's not there." He whispered to himself and came out of the thick brier patch he had been hiding in. He looked up at the moonless sky and lifted his hands to the pair of dog ears that were poking out of his hair. "I transformed, that's how I knew how to hide from her. My robe." He frowned down at his Fire Rat Robe, the thorns of the brier patch had torn the cloth badly. "And where am I?" He bit his lip and looked side to side, both ways looked the same to him. "I want to find mama and daddy and D-chan." He sniffed and wiped the tears in his eyes away. With no way to know he was heading away from the city Demoonica and everyone else he knew were at, Inu-chan began walking down the forest path.

o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o

[A few days later]

Inu-chan woke to the feeling of being poked. "Daddy! Daddy! Me found 'sum-un!"

"Now Kit! Oh, oh my! Don't poke the boy with that Kit!"

Inu-chan looked up at the fuzzy face that was hovering over him, he blinked to clear his sight a little bit. Long silver hair, gold eyes, a pair of ears. "Daddy?"

A chuckle. "I think if I'm your father, my wife would be very upset with me."

Inu-chan sat up and rubbed the sleep from his eyes. He looked up at the Bishounen kneeling beside of him. No, he wasn't his father after all. Inu-chan bowed his head as he started to cry.

"Why you cryin'?" A voice asked him from the other side.

"Kit! Don't be rude." A hand settled on Inu-chan's head. "There now, we're not as bad as all that, now are we?"

Inu-chan shook his head and he rubbed the tears out of his eyes. "I wanted you to be my daddy, but you weren't, and... and..." He broke down crying again.

"Shh, now." A pair of strong arms pulled Inu-chan into the Bishounen's lap. "Cry and then you can tell us what has happened to your parents." A soft lick was administered to Inu-chan's cheek, then a face nuzzled up to his. "I'm Youko Kurama and this is my son, whom I call Kit." The Bishounen introduced and Kit climbed into his father's arms with Inu-chan. Inu-chan cried himself out after a few minutes. Over the next half hour he told Youko and Kit how he had came to be seperated from his parents and their trainer. "And you say that you were born after your mother was caught by a trainer?"

"D-chan!" Inu-chan nodded quickly.

"But you are free from capture?"

Inu-chan tilted his head to the side. "I don't go in a ball, don't have one."

"Yes, yes that's what I wanted to know, thank you Inuyasha-chan. Well, I can not bring you back to the human I'm afraid. I too am free from ball and would much like to keep it that way, but I'm sure the elders of our home could get you back to your parents trainer... that is, if you want to return."

Inu-chan jumped to his feet. "Really!? You promiss that they can get me back?" His small fists were balled up and his eyes were wide.

Youko's ears twitched. "Of course, it is however a long trip to our home areas."

"Then let's get going!" Inu-chan grabbed Youko and Kit by their hands, trying to pull them up.

o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o

[Time missing: 1 week]

"Wind Scar!" The Sasuke Bishounen was hit by Inuyasha's attack. He fell back, knocked out. His trainer returned him to his ball.

"Winner with two wins out of three battles is the trainer Demoonica." The other girl's Bishounen, a Naruto, anounced.

Inuyasha shouldered his Tetsuiga. "Heh, no contest. Don't tell me this is the best trainer this gym has to offer."

"Inuyasha." Demoonica warned. "Good battle." She shook the other trainer's hand.

"Yeah, really." The girl said. "I've been watching you and your Bishi train all week... they've leveled up considerably. Here's your money and the Ydaereve City gym badge."

Demoonica nodded. "I called in some favors from trainer friends who were near here, I've had four or five battles set up every day, each three on three."

"Well, I'm consisdered the best local trainer... if you want more challange, I'd say you should head for Water Crest City, they're holding an open tornament in a week and a half. The city's also in a good location for raising, it's right in the middle of a bunch of video game areas."

"Thanks, I'll take a look. Hey Inuyasha, you want to stay out? I'm leaving town and I could use the look out."

Inuyasha crossed his arms. "Choose someone else to babysit you, I'm staying with Kagome in that pocket thingy." He said and returned to his ball.

Demonica sighed, walking out of the gym and into the mid-day sun. Out of the corner of her eye she thought she saw a movement, but when she looked around there was nothing.

'To close.' Hinata thought and looked around the corner, the trainer girl who Marten had her watching didn't seem to have seen her, but still.

Demoonica waved to the young woman gate keeper of Ydaereve City as she left. She took a ball from her belt and let Marou out. A minute later Heero and Duo also joined them. "We're headed to Water Crest City." She said, bringing up the map and showing the three Bishounen the route to their destination. "It's not very far, but I'm going to take all the time we have, about ten days, to train on our way there."

Duo and Heero smiled. "So ya gon'a turn on that Monster Battle thing again?" Duo asked.

Demoonica nodded.

"Yes!" Heero pumped his fist in the air. "I challenge you to a kill count contest." He pointed to Duo.

Duo pulled out his gun. "Mission excepted!"

Marou crossed his arms, looking distastfully at them. "Why am I being included in this mortal stupidity?"

"I had a feeling they'd do something like this." Demoonica explaned. At this point both Duo and Heero had set off what Demoonica called 'Portal Battles' or battles with monsters that could be found by looking for spinning gold rings and were set off when someone entered the ring. They each seemed to be fighting what looked like walking turnips with human shaped bodies.

"One!" Shouted Duo, as his enemy slumped to the gound.

The World of Songwinds Bishounen and Bishoujo:

Demoonica's Story

by

Lady Demoonica Darkmoon

o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o

Zander hugged Demoonica to him. "Do you know how hard you are to find?"

"Sorry, I forgot about meeting up with you." She mumbled into his chest.

"That much was obvious, but why?"

Demoonica sighed, moved away from Zander, and sat down with him on the trunk of a nearby fallen tree. She told him about the odd looks she had got from the trainers in Ydaereve City, and the meeting with the trainer Marten, and her loss in the battle with his Bishoujo. "...and I have to prove that I and my Bishounen can protect Inu-chan and Junia on our own."

"So that's why you didn't tell him you were a member of the BWSD?"

"Being a Cadet in the BWSD doesn't give me a free pass when it comes to having Chibi's with me, it wouldn't have helped... I have the feeling it would have made that guy bad mouth the Department for having me as a part of it."

"Hm, he did sound really full of himself." Zander finally agreed.

"Feh." Inuyasha humphed from above them, he was sitting on a large tree branch.

"Have something to say Inuyasha?"

"Yeah, I do. If you hadn't made me wait till my wound healed up some, then I would have been able to track Inu-chan by smell and would have found him before Marten's Bishoujo had the chance!" Suddenly Inuyasha's ears perked up and he sniffed the air. "There's some one coming this way."

"Bishi?"

"Hm... no there are a lot of mixed smells, trainer."

"It isn't Marten, is it?"

Inuyasha growled. "If it had been, I would have taken off to beat the stuffing out of the bastard as soon as I smelled him."

The underbrush rustled and a shady cloaked figure entered the small clearing. "Are you talking about Marten of Ydaereve City?" A male voice asked and then continued when Demoonica nodded. "He has a reputation of challenging trainers for things with out having all the facts strait." The guy sounded sour about that.

"Who are you?" Demoonica asked.

The figure pushed the hood of his cloak back to reveal a tall man in his mid-twenties. "Yuushi-Shido and Guni." He pointed to the tiny Bishoujo on his shoulder who had been hidden by the hood.

"I don't think she's worth the trouble!" Guni sounded unhappy.

"Now Guni, we have our own reasons for helping the girl, and that would be to see him taken down a few pegs." He looked at the three watching them. "Marten once took something very special of mine, too."

"Why don't you do it yourself?" Inuyasha huffed.

"I plan to, but I'm not ready to confront him again. At least not yet." He smiled at Demoonica. "But I'm closer to besting him than you are, and if you can't win against me, then you have no chance at beating Marten when you meet him again." He held up a Bishiball. "Do you accept?"

"A battle?"

Shido nodded. "If you best me in battle, I'll help you."

Demoonica looked to Zander, he shrugged. She looked up to Inuyasha, who nodded. "Well... alright. Three on three?"

"One on one." He tossed the Bishiball he had in his hand into the air, releasing it's occupant. The red light grew, and grew, and grew. Demoonica's eyes widened at just what was standing there, a Hellboy. Maybe this hadn't been a good idea. "Well?" Shido asked when Demoonica didn't move to chose a Bishiball.

"I..." Demoonica was running through the outcome of each match up, most of them ended with her Bishounen going to the hospital. She hated to admit it, but she only had one Bishi who stood any real chance, considering Inuyasha -no matter what he said- was in no condition to fight this kind of battle. She tossed out the Bishiball. As soon as the Bishounen appeared, Demoonica pulled him away from the others and spoke to him. "Marou."

The red haired demon glared at her darkly. "This had not be what it looks like, human."

"It is. I've only asked you to fight for me once before and that was only in a friendly battle, but this fight is important to me and I'm going to trust you."

Marou raised an eyebrow. "Trust me, really now?"

Demoonica took a deep breath and nodded. "You can use the full range of your demon god's powers, but not your transformations."

Marou smiled a sickly sweet smile. "Not the transformations? How much trust is that?"

"I want you to win the battle, not kill every living thing within ten miles."

o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o

Elsewhere...

Inu-chan concentrated on the little seed planted at his feet, how was Kit doing that? The Chibi Youko Kurama was a few feet away, a small plant with a single rose bloom at his feet. It swayed back and forth following Kit's finger. Inu-chan stopped concentrating and flopped down on the ground to glare at the place the seed was planted. "It won't grow for me!"

Youko chuckled. "Inu powers and Kitsune powers differ greatly, Inuyasha-chan. Kit has also been learning to control plants for a longer amount of time."

Inu-chan pouted. "Will I ever get it?"

"That, I can't tell you. But consider this, Kit can't use you sword at all, but you have been able to transform it even though it's only for a short amount of time." He patted Inu-chan on the head. "Keep trying, you may surprise yourself."

Inu-chan nodded and cupped his hands over the small mound of dirt, concentrating on making the seed grow, even if it was only into a vine.

o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o

Back with Demoonica and company...

Hellboy frowned at the slashes in his red skin, those hurt like a witch, it was impressive damage coming from his aponent, who looked for all the world like just another human. If you didn't count the guys fingernails being a foot long and as strong as adamantium, or the fact he could teleport around at will or... his thoughts trailed off as his trainer spoke. "Okay, enough. Come on back Hellboy."

"What? For this?" Hellboy motioned to the deep cuts. "I've had cats do worse."

Shido rolled his eyes, those fur-balls like the big red guy too much to scratch at him and he'd hate to see a cat that could do that much damage to Hellboy. "Just come back." Hellboy returned to his ball. Shido then spoke to Demoonica. "Okay, I can see you are in a better position than I thought you were, but you're still far from ready." He turned and began to walk away.

"Hey!" Demoonica ran to catch up with the older man. "Wait! You said you'd help me!" He stopped walking when she did catch up to him.

"That was if you won, but..." Shido stopped speaking for a moment, but continued to walk. "Here then, some information for you. Marten is still looking for a Chibi that ran away from him, I don't know if the kid is one of the ones you're looking for though." Suddenly a Bishiball came flying out over Shido's shoulder. Demoonica caught it. "A present. Don't worry, the ball will go ahead register to you if you put it on your BishiGear." With that said, Shido seemed to disappear in the forest.

Demoonica stared at the Bishiball for a moment, but then Shido's tiny demon Bishoujo Guni flew back into the clearing and got right up in Demoonica's face. "Master Shido will be watching you, so you had better not lose!" Then, just as quickly as she came Guni flew away, following her trainer.

Demoonica placed the ball on the scanner of her BishiGear. It beeped a moment later, stating that the registration was complete. Curious as to what kind of Bishi this Shido person would consider a gift Demoonica tossed the ball up, calling to the one inside. "Hey, come on out!"

The red light appeared, then disappeared, leaving a small boy looking at her, he was holding what looked to be some kind of stuffed toy. He had spiky dark blond hair and his hard blue eyes were looking at her.

Demoonica's BishiGear beeped again, then after she had flipped it open to read the information that was filling the screen, it spoke. "Yamatto Ishido and Tsunomon from the Digimon anime. Stage San. This boy is a bit of a lone wolf and has a problem with authority. Matt tries to act like he doesn't care about anything, like he's just too cool, but he really cares a lot. He's just too afraid to admit it." Demoonica saw the small blond glare at her BishiGear. "Gabumon is Matt's Digimon partner, whom he first meets as Tsunomon. He is very shy when it comes to letting others see him without the pelt he wears on his body. At this time Tsunomon can digivolve to Gabumon and Garurumon. Do you wish to nickname Bishounen?"

"No nickname."

"Do you wish to nickname Seibutsu?"

"No nickname." She repeated, then closed the flip screen of the BishiGear.

Yamatto walked over to Demoonica, the Bishiball connection was kicking in, so he didn't have a choice in the matter. "So who are you?"

o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o

The next day...

Demoonica was watching the sky brighten, morning was there. After the events of early yesterday, the rest of the day had been pretty normal, though the way Yamatto had quietly kept following her around had been bothersome. For her it was normal for there to be almost no difference at the beginning of a blood bond than when the bond was fixed at it's final distance, she had never had a blood bond kick in so strongly. Yamatto had never been more than five feet away from her the rest of the day and night, not counting the one time she slammed the bathroom door in his face. It took him a moment to realize where he had almost followed her, but he just sat down outside the door and fumed in anger about the entire thing, so none of the others had the heart to pick on him about it. At this very moment he was sleeping in the next sleeping bag over, the one she wasn't facing, the one she was facing contained one sleeping Zander.

Finally she sat up and stretched, then put on her glasses. It was early spring in the areas they were traveling through, so the mornings were still chilly. Zander didn't look like he was about to wake up, besides it might be better if they didn't have the time to talk alone right now. When Yamatto refused to go into a ball the night before, she was sure the looks Zander were sending the young Bishounen could kill.

Well there was no guessing on what Zander had been planing for their first evening together sense January, sometimes he was very Duo-ish, even when he would argue he wasn't in any way like Duo, thank you very much. Yeah, he should stay asleep until a few of the others were awake, unless she wanted him forcing Yamatto into his ball and then... Demoonica blushed at that thought. Yeah, any poor trainer passing by would get a crash course in the infamous 'Trainers and Bishies are compatible.' part of every single orientation speech. Demoonica giggled. Well if they were dumb enough to not know what they were hearing that they had to get within viewing distance to figure out was happening, then they deserved to get an eye full.

Demoonica pulled her backpack over to her and fished the BishiGear off the top of it. Getting the Bathroom Capsule out of it, she set it up. She looked over to Yamatto. He was sleeping fine, so the blood bond had calmed down at the very least to a good twenty feet. Well he wouldn't be following her like her shadow today, that was good.

An hour later the entire camp site was a flurry of activity with most of Demoonica's Bishi getting ready to train against each other now that breakfast was over.

Demoonica sat off to the side of the clearing, Rei on the right side of her and Zander on the left with his arm around her. Yamatto was sitting a few trees away with the ever present Tsunomon held in his arms like some highly prized stuffed animal. Demoonica was planing the next part of their trip to Water Crest City.

"Next... we're right on the border of the Chrono Crusade area." Demoonica looked up the information on the area. She read it out loud. "A New York like city sits at the center of this area. Catches range from fairly easy, see Azmaria Hendric, to mid-difficulty, see Rosette Christopher, to very difficult, see Aion." Demoonica scrolled through the list of names, looking at the pictures of each Bishounen and Bishoujo.

"Hey, go back a picture. Don't you think we kind of look the same?" Rei pointed to the picture of Little Chrono. "Like the long bangs over a bandana, knee length braid, slightly pointed ears..."

"It says here that he's a Devil." Demoonica paused to ask a question. "Does it meen like a Demon?" Then continued to read from the BishiGear's screen. "Difficulty to catch is normally in the mid range. They can be highly protective of Rosette's and if you find one who has made a contract with said Bishoujo the difficulty is much higher. Only Sama stage Chrono's are able to make contracts. Chrono's come in two forms-"

"Yes, I'd say Devil translates into Demon." Rei said as the picture of Chrono transformed appeared on screen.

"Wow! He goes from cute to hot!"

Rei sweat dropped. "Er... if you say so."

"Really! Hey Kagome, look at these pictures and tell me what you think." Demoonica waved Kagome over to the tree she, Zander, and Rei were sitting under.

"Huh? What is it? Inuyasha is trying to teach Tala swordsmanship. It's not going very well."

"Look at this."

"He looks like you, Rei..." Kagome answered. "Oh! Is that the same Bishounen? Don't you think his ears look furry?"

"What is it with you and fuzzy ears?"

Kagome blushed. "I don't know what you're talking about. What is it that you called me over to ask?" She quickly changed the subject.

Demoonica gave her a look, but asked her question anyway. "The older form is hot and the younger cute, yes?"

"Yeah." Kagome nodded, wondering just what this was all about. "Why?"

"Needed a female opinion and you're my only Bishoujo."

"You should change that, there are plenty of strong Bishoujo."

"I don't really get along with many females that much, but I'll think about it Kagome."

TBC...

LDD: Why Matt from Digimon you ask? I asked Shido what Bishi he'd give me if he could and he said Yami no Bakura, but seeing as I had caught one already he said Matt would be his second pick. Please leave a review! Thank you!

The World of Songwinds Bishounen and Bishoujo:

Demoonica's Story

by

Lady Demoonica Darkmoon

o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o

"You're not really thinking about continuing to catch Bishi, are you?" Zander asked her, as he and Demoonica walked down the forest path. He'd finally caught up to her three days after she had left Ydaereve City, that was four days ago. And with three days until the open tournament began they were only a days walk away from Water Crest City. It had been two weeks without any real word of Inu-chan or where he could be, save the little information she'd gotten from Shido.

"I don't see why I shouldn't. It's not like I'm actively hunting Bishi when I should be trying to get my Chibi's back."

"I guess... but what if you can't find that guy now?"

"He's going to LSS-sama, right?" Zander nodded. "Then, she'll let him know how badly he's mistaken about 'me and my ways'." She put air quotation marks around that last part with her fingers. "He'll have to bring Junia back, right?"

Zander shook his head. "Junia isn't yours, LSS-sama is more likely to have someone take him back to his home area to be adopted."

Demoonica frowned. "I don't want to lose him like that, I'm the first human he's ever trusted. I can't let him think I abandoned him like his mother and her trainer."

Zander slipped his hand into hers. "It's going to be okay." He said before bringing her hand up to kiss it. "If I have to, I'll take on the world to get him back to you."

Demoonica blushed and lowered her face. "Thanks."

He laughed. "Always. Now, if you plan to kick that trainers ass, I suggest finding a training spot, yeah?" He asked, smiling brightly.

"Well the BishiGear did say that three video game areas and one anime area all meet near Water Crest City. Right now we're in the Kyou Kara Ma no Tsuku Jiyugyo area."

"Yeah, so?"

"I have three days to finish training three Bishounen for the tournament, so I'll train one each day."

"Then you chose the three finally?"

Demoonica nodded. "Inuyasha, Marou, and Kamui."

"Are you sure Marou is such a good idea?"

"It's fine. He's just not been his normal problematic self with Katan gone, for one, he's listening to me." Demoonica scrunched up her nose, trying to put her words right before she said them. "I think Marou likes him in some sick twisted way."

"Likes him? Or -like- likes him?"

"You're worse than Duo some times!" She snapped at Zander. "Get your mind out of the gutter!"

"But it lives there! I kick it out and it'd be homeless!" There was a goofy grin plastered on his face.

"I meant that, in Marou's own strange way, he sees Katan as his friend. With Katan gone, Marou doesn't feel like causing trouble, because he can't fight with him."

"You think he misses his rival?"

Demoonica sweat-dropped. "You would be able to word it so easily, wouldn't you?"

Zander shrugged. "It's a gift."

"Dumb luck, that's all." She pulled a 'PD' Sphere from her belt and brought out Kamui. The dark haired Bishounen blinked his eyes, adjusting them to the dimmer light of the forest. He had been in the outside area of the Pocket Dimension Space that connected to Demoonica's Bishiball belt and it was brighter there.

Kamui looked at Demoonica, his small frown still looked like a pout, this made her smile at him. Zander saw her smile and he in turn gave Kamui a hard look. This confused Kamui, what had he done? "What?" Kamui asked, his tone a little harsher that he had meant it to be.

Demoonica, not noticing what Zander had done, looked at Kamui. Maybe Kamui'd not gotten a lot of sleep or something. "I thought we could train today."

"Huh? Oh. Sure, whatever."

o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o

It was several hours later that Demoonica found herself listening to her BishiGear tell her the information on the Bishounen she had just caught. It said: "Lord Wolfram von Bielefelt of the Kyou Kara Ma no Tsuku Jiyugyo anime. Stage San. Wolfram is the youngest son of the former Demon Queen, Cecilie. Because of his demon pride he dislikes humans and hates to admit it when he cares for any human, even his own older brother Conrad, who's father is human. Wolfram is a very good sword fighter and also can use fire magic and even healing magic somewhat. He is arrogant and short-tempered, earning him the nickname 'Little Lord Brat' from his peers, but he can also be quite compassionate at times. Do you wish to nickname Bishounen?"

"No nickname." She said and closed the BishiGear.

"That was a Demon type?" Kamui asked, pointing at Wolfram's 'PD' Sphere.

"Did the fireball tell you nothing?" Demoonica asked, a little amazed.

"I deal with -humans- that can make water cut you like a hot knife cuts butter, I thought a Demon type would be... stronger, somehow."

"Yeah, well." Demoonica shrugged. "Personally, I think he seemed pretty good. He just underestimated you, Kamui." She held out the ball. "C'mon out Wolfram!"

A red beam of light shot out of the Bishiball, leaving the Bishounen standing a few feet away from them a moment later. "YOU!" He shouted and pointed at Demoonica. "I will NOT accept it! It's IMPOSSIBLE that I lost in a FAIR fight! I DEMAND a rematch!" He huffed, crossed his arms, and stuck his nose up into the air.

Demoonica blinked and busted out laughing.

Seeing this, Wolfram's face turned pink and he yelled at her again. "STOP laughing! It's NOT funny!" His hands were balled up into fists and he stomped his foot from time to time. "If you don't STOP laughing, I'll... I'll... AUGH! Stop laughing at me you stupid girl!"

"Fine... giggle... You want a rematch against Kamui..."

Wolfram paled. "NO! I... I mean... uh..." He sighed and hung his head.

But before he or Demonica, or Kamui and Zander for that matter, could continue one of the Bishiballs on Demoonica's belt glowed and it's occupant made himself known, Bakura. He stretched with a yawn, his shirt and black high-collar jacket lifting up to show the ivory skin beneath. "Trainer mine, who is this vision of beauty before us?" He asked, eyeing Wolfram.

Wolfram glared at him. Bakura was being his normal perverted self, but Demoonica had to admit he was right about Wolfram's looks. The boy was a true character Bishounen, the real meaning of the word that is, meaning that he could easily be mistaken for a girl. He was of a slim build, though many Bishi were. His hair was 'anime' blonde, that bright blonde no human could ever get their hair, and although his hair was short it was wavy and curled on the ends cutely. His eyes, a bright green and the large round shape that was typical of girls in anime, including the long eyelashes.

"Bakura, Wolfram's a guy." Demonica said, a sweat-drop forming beside of her head.

"I know." Bakura wiggled his eyebrows at Wolfram, who glared harder.

"You PERVERT!" Wolfram yelled at him.

Bakura just laughed. "Perfect, I love him Demoonica! He's the type who gets all defensive!" He inched closer to Wolfram, who backed away just as fast. By now, Zander and Kamui both had joined Demoonica in sweat-dropping.

"Bakura..."

"Hmm? Jealous trainer mine? No need." Bakura walked over to wrap an arm around Demoonica. He smirked at Zander, who had growled at the white haired Bishounen. "Now, now, lover boy, I'll get to you in a moment."

"Why you!" Zander stormed over to Bakura, but his fist was blocked on its way to Bakura's face by Demoonica stepping between the two guys.

"Don't!"

"But! Demoonica, he's hitting on you!"

"Bakura's not causing any harm- Yipe!" She jumped forward, her hands going to her backside. She turned to face Bakura, her face bright red. "Don't you think it would be in your best interest not to pinch my butt when I'm defending you?"

"But you're oh so hot when you're doing that, how could I resist?"

"I take all it back. Zander, you can hit him."

Wolfram laughed. "HA! Now you get what you deserve, you pervert!"

Beside him, Kamui just shook his head. Ever since the half-Bishounen had joined up with the group things had changed. Zander had a way of bringing out either the best or worst of Demoonica's Bishounen. He wasn't too sure of the guy himself, we was a half-Bishounen after all and there had been a lot of problems with half-Bishounen for the last few years.

Zander lowered his fist. "That's okay. If you're yelling at him about it, I shouldn't worry."

o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o

[Elsewhere, with Katan...

"Ah, finally." The blue haired Cherub Bishounen said. He gave his large white wings a flap, then started a silent glide over the area he was currently watching. Below him was what he'd been searching for, two people. At the moment, they didn't seem to have noticed him. He let his angelic power fill him up, ready to fight if he had to. He landed about twenty feet away from the pair.

The ginger haired woman and bald headed man looked at him. The woman spoke. "Whatever you have to say, we don't want to hear it. We have important things to do and not much time left to do it in, leave us."

Katan looked at them. "I'm sorry, but I can not do that."

o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o

[Back with Demoonica, sometime later that evening...

Demoonica poked at the fire. She was watching the water for the rice, waiting for it to reach boiling. Around her Zander, Kagome, Rei, and Edward were doing food preparation. Zero, Heero, and Duo being the inseparable trio they were, were out collecting fire wood for the night. Wolfram and Yamatto who was holding Tsunomon, both still limited in the distance they could wander from Demoonica, were sitting a few feet away at the edge of the clearing. Above them Marou was perched in the tree branches. The rest of her Bishounen were still in ball.

"So, how'd you get caught?" Wolfram asked Yamatto.

Yamatto looked over at the other blonde and sighed. "Master Shido, Matt's last trainer, gave us to her four days ago." Tsunomon said from Yamatto's lap.

Wolfram jumped. "Your plushie just talked!"

"I'm not a toy, I'm a Digimon Seibutsu! I'm Tsunomon! Nice to meet you!"

Wolfram nodded. "Likewise, so you're a Seibutsu, this area has some Seibutsu. I happen to like the Bearbee's myself. You know my oldest brother, Gwendal, would adore you, he loves anything and everything that's small and cute with big eyes."

Tsunomon bounced on Yamatto's lap. "Yay!"

"So where are we?" Kagome asked.

"Kyou Kara Ma no Tsuku Jiyugyo area, but we're no more than one hundred yards from the next area over."

"Yeah, what's it?" Rei's question this time.

"A video game area, dot Hack. We're also close to the collective 'Tales of' area and the Zenosaga area."

"Are we close to any cities?"

"Just Water Crest City, there are no Bishi cities close by, so chances are that if there are Bishi around, they are just passing through the area."

Wolfram looked surprised. "How do you know there aren't any Bishi cities near here?"

Demoonica's older Bishi turned to look at the blonde at his outburst. Rei answered him. "Demoonica's BishiGear has all the secret locations programed into it, they aren't always shown on her map, but if she needs to she can bring up their positions. She's a cadet for the BishiWorld Safety Department, and her orders often send her to our cities, so Megami-sama entrusted her with full clearance."

"Oh." Wolfram wouldn't admit it, but he looked impressed by that information.

"There are." Marou said from the tree. "There's at least a dozen Bishi within the three mile radius of this encampment."

"So many? Are you sure? It's been so quiet all day."

Marou sighed and moved to lay bonelessly on the branch, his arms and legs dangling down limply. "Of course, though most know of our presence here and are avoiding getting close to this area."

"Most?"

Marou didn't answer.

"Marou, what do you mean most?"

Marou pointed in the direction of the closest presence he could feel. "If your lucky, that one could be with in reaching distance. Now stop bothering me."

"Should I?" Demoonica asked, looking at Kagome. "I mean, I just caught Wolfram and Yamatto hasn't had much of a chance to settle into the group, even Edward-" Demoonica motioned to the silent alchemist, who through out the entire conversation hadn't taken the time to even look up from the potatoes he was peeling. She had her work cut out for her with Edward, he seldom spoke and would do any work the others told him to do without question. The well known fiery spirit of Edward Elric was nowhere within him.

"You're the trainer."

"Hm, hey Marou, what way is that Bishounen headed?"

"Didn't I make myself clear?! They're headed north-west." He growled. "When I find a way to break free of this damn bond, I'm crushing my ball into dust and then I'll kill you. I will eat your heart with joy."

Hearing this, most looked at the food they were preparing and turned green. Demoonica though, knew that Marou was in no hurry to have a repeat of the nasty shock his Bishiball would give him if he tried to break it. She stood. "When Zero, Heero, and Duo get back with the fire wood, tell them I'll be back soon. Yamatto, can you have Tsunomon digivolve into Garurumon?"

The small blonde nodded and moved away from the group to do the digivolution. The sight of the small ball of fluff Yamatto always carried around turning into a twelve foot tall wolf-like monster shocked everyone, save he and Demoonica. Yamatto climbed up onto Garurumon's back. "Wolfram, you've got to come with." Demoonica held up his Bishiball, with a sigh the blonde-haired, green-eyed demon returned to it. She got up on Garurumon, behind Yamatto. "Hey Garurumon, this is my first time traveling by Digimon, take it easy on me, okay?!"

The large Digimon laughed and took off through the thinly wooded forest at high speed. Demoonica yelped in surprise, barely getting a good grip on Garurumon's fur in time.

Back at the clearing, Marou chuckled. At that speed, she'd be able to get to half the Bishounen wondering past the area, not that he would have told her that. Sending her after the one that was close by was enough to get her away for awhile. He sighed and turned to look down at the others the human girl had left at the camp. The halfling, the Bishoujo, and a few of the young San staged Bishounen. The only one who would be any challenge in a fight would be the halfling. Though starting a fight wouldn't be worth the forced confinement in his ball when the girl got back. Marou growled, his ball was the only one that Demoonica hadn't changed from the standard Bishiball into a 'PD' Sphere Bishiball. Until lately he had spent most of his time in the pitch black space. No matter how long he was in there, it always felt like the darkness was pressing in on him. This feeling was what lead some Bishi to fear being confined in their balls. To Marou it was both a punishment and a sanctuary. He hated being forced into the thing and had even overpowered the Bishiball's sealing power on occasion. But while within the ball he was free to plan and he was left alone, with no one asking him to do idiotic things like helping to capture another Bishounen or transporting them to the bank after getting stuck out in the middle of a river.

Marou closed his green eyes. Of course she had started asking him to join in on her trainer battles. It wasn't as good as when he had free choice over who and how he battled, but having spent the largest part of his time after he'd been captured in his ball, it was becoming the lesser of two evils. Again he looked out at the way Demoonica had left, and he realized something. This was the first time she had left him out with the others in what? A year? A year and one half? Had she decided she trusted him? He would have to think on it more, but right now the sun was diping low in the sky and the breeze russling the leaves was soothing...

Heero and Duo looked up above them as they and Zero returned from gathering fire wood. Again a soft snore descended to their ears. Marou, now that wasn't someone they ever saw much of. Let alone when he was asleep, had they ever seen him asleep?

Heero grunted and dropped his armload of dry wood on top of the wood Duo and Zero had put down. Curiously he looked back up at the sleeping form of Marou. Now any normal Heero Yuy, and I say normal because sane isn't normal for Heero's, would know better than to bother an evil demon lord who's asleep. Sadly Demoonica's Heero Yuy was a natural blonde, a natural platinum blonde.

Within moments, he had scrambled up the tree to the closest branch near Marou that would hold his weight. Said branch just happened to be directly above the one Marou was sleeping on. He took a moment to get his balance, then peered down at the red-haired Sama stage Bishounen.

"Hey, he doesn't look so tough!" Duo said, from right beside of Heero.

"Uh, Duo-" The branch sagged under the weight of the two teens.

"I don't know, I think he looks as cranky as Hiead." Zero added, from the other side of Heero. The branch shook as the boy dropped down onto it and a cracking sound could be heard by Heero's better than human hearing.

"Uh, guys-" Heero was cut off by the now audible sound of the tree limb cracking. "K'so!"

o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o

TBC...

NOTE 1: Kyou Kara Ma no Tsuku Jiyugyo was titled as Kyo Kara Maoh here in America and is slightly shounen-ai, in it Wolfram and another male character Yuuri are engaged. Those of you who are put off by boys liking boys have nothing to worry about though, even in the show you wouldn't really notice if they didn't constantly remind you of the engagement, and the way it's done almost makes it a running joke.

LDD: Please leave a review! Thank you!

The World of Songwinds Bishounen and Bishoujo:

Demoonica's Story

by

Lady Demoonica Darkmoon

o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o

Garurumon, Yamatto and Demoonica still seated on his back, trotted into view of the campsite nearly two hours after they'd left. They'd caught up with the Bishi that Marou had pointed out without any trouble, it'd been another Bishi from Kyou Kara Ma no Tsuku Jiyugyo, a Sama Bishoujo by the name of Anissina. Wolfram had quite a few choice words about the Bishoujo and had pretty much begged Demoonica not to catch the magenta-haired demon woman. If ever asked, he would deny having done anything more than retelling the outcome of a few of the Bishoujo's eccentric scientific inventions. Anissina summed up to be the demon version of a Washu. Needless to say, Demoonica had not caught the Anissina.

"What the?" Yamatto asked.

"What the?" Demoonica mimicked, having looked around the small blond.

The campsite was shimmering, sparkling, and very noticeable from the surrounding area. What looked to be an unheard of amount of spider silk covered all the trees that made up the edges of the clearing. Garurumon trotted into the clearing.

There around the campfire sat Zander, Kagome, Rei, and Edward, already eating their dinners, though none of them were saying anything and a tence feeling was hanging in the air. Demoonica opened her mouth to say something, but noticed that something else was hanging in plain sight, namely three horrified looking teenage Bishi. Heero, Duo, and Zero were cocooned up in the same manner a spider wrapped it's prey, though the webbing stopped at their shoulders, and were dangling from the largest of the surrounding trees.

She jumped down from Garurumon's back. "Guys! What happened?! Why isn't anyone getting them down?!" The only reply she got was from Duo.

"He... he... oh my gawd... he..." Well that certainly wasn't any help. She looked at the others.

Zander looked uneasy, but finally pointed up. Demoonica's gaze drifted up the large tree. Oh. OH. She hadn't seen that until now. "Marou." She yelled up to the Bishounen, who was lounging in a hammock made from the webbing. To either side of him was a larger than human butterfly, Marou had summoned two of his demon butterfly Yoma.

"They're staying there." Marou's voice drifted down from the tree top. "Until I say so."

"No Marou, you have to let them down now." She yelled back up, watching the Yoma her Bishounen had summoned with more than a little fear.

She didn't get any answer.

"Marou. Send the demon butterflies back to where ever you summoned them from and come down here, you have to let the boys free."

Again she was pointedly ignored.

Augh, she really didn't want to upset those demon butterflys of Marou's. "Marou, can I come up there?"

"You do at your own risk."

Demoonica frowned. Marou, being her Bishounen, couldn't hurt her... she wasn't so sure about the demon butterflies. He couldn't command them to attack, but if he released them from under his control... Demoonica shivered.

She started her climb up the webbing, finding that it wasn't sticky like she thought it would be, it was closer to silk spun into thread. About half way up, she took the time to look down. Everyone on the ground was watching her like she'd gone nuts. How nice of them. She made it to the place Marou had attached his hammock and slipped into the net-like thing.

Marou didn't budge from his lounged out position on the webbing, even as Demoonica's presence on it made it bounce and sway dramatically. Demoonica faced Marou with a glare, but blinked as she took in his physical state. He was covered in scratches and other small abrasions, and there was a nasty looking many inches wide bruse along his collar bone and right shoulder.

"As I said before, those 'boys' are staying right where they are." Marou said, not looking at her.

Demoonica made no move towards the red-haired demon, instead she looked up at the demon butterflies who were no more than twenty feet away from her. Both looked highly agitated. Slowly she drew her feet up to her until she was sitting Indian style on the web. "I'm sure they didn't mean to do something to upset you-"

o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o

At the BishiWorld Safety Department...

Wufei looked back to see if the Chibi was still following him. He was. Surprising, he'd seen Sama's who had a harder time following directions. He put up with some of them daily, so this was a refreshing change. Too bad the kid was unnerving him greatly. He was too quiet, too respectful, too... too... Wufei growled and took a sharp left turn into the profiling room.

"Here we are." Wufei announced. "I need you to stand on that circle, registering you into the system won't take more than a few minutes." He pointed to a room sectioned off from the one they were standing in, it's walls were made out of glass.

Junia nodded his head. "Yes, sir." He walked into the room and stepped onto the circle, it was obviously part of a scanner of some type.

Wufei began typing away at the large consol and the cricle Junia was standing on glowed blue. Soon large amounts of information began scrolling across the screen and a mechanical voice began to speak. "Registering Bishounen..." Wufei listened to the typical information that would be spoken from a Dex with only a half ear until the word 'Error' began blinking on his screen. "Huh?" Wufei typed in a command. Again 'Error' blinked on the screen. "Computer, state the nature of the error."

"Unable to determine the level of evolution of Bishounen being scanned."

"Unable to what?!"

"Unable to determine the level of evolution of Bishounen being scanned." The computer repeated.

"Computer, expand explanation!"

"Unable to determine the level of evolution of Bishounen being scanned. Bishounen being scanned registers powers higher than the Chibi level. Bishounen being scanned registers powers lower the San level. Diagnosis, Bishounen has some how stopped evolution midway. Solution, unknown."

"HE DID WHAT?!" Wufei yelled.

o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o

Back with Demoonica...

She'd gotten Marou's side of the story, though it'd been like puling teeth with the angry demon lord. She didn't sigh, though she sure felt like she should, over and over again, maybe she could get herself to hyperventilate and pass out until this all blew over.

Marou had convenced himself that it'd been some type of sneak attack. Demoonica had gotten the felling she knew the entire story, it was kind of obvious. Heero, Duo, and Zero had came crashing down out of a higher spot in the tree, Marou had been in the way, and he'd crashed down to the ground with three horrified teens and a few tree limbs landing on top of him. Painful, yes. An attack, no. She'd said as much, but he wasn't listening.

"Could you at least send the demon butterflies back now? If I was going to pull something I would have done it."

Marou looked at her, his eyes half closed. "Mnn." One of the Yoma shifted, the first either of the things had moved the entire time. Apparently it took a little prodding from Marou to get them to leave, after all they had been called to protect and watch over their master. A few minutes passed before the first one took to the sky, then the other, a heavy dust falling from their wings that added more shimmers and sparkles to the webs. Demoonica covered her mouth and nose, who knew what the stuff would do to her if she breathed it in.

"Thanks." She said through her shirt.

Marou shrugged the thanks off with a wave of the hand.

A few more minutes passed quietly and Demoonica pulled out Marou's Bishiball. "Do I even have to say that you're going into this thing as soon as I get safely on the ground?"

Marou frowned. "My Yoma are not too far away to be called back, you know."

"I know. I know." Demoonica said as she slid back over the edge of the silk hammoc, grabbing a hand full of the silk strands covering the trees for support. "Gawd, I feel stiff. How long have I been up here?"

Marou snorted.

She got down without falling and as soon as her feet hit the ground, Duo started. "D-chan! Get us out'a this stuff!" He begged and wiggled around in his prison. "Who knows what kind of weird things it's doing to us, I don't want to come out of here with Butterfly wings, it'd so kill my-"

"Duo." Demoonica shook her head. "You're being rediculus."

"Says you! I want out of here, I'm starving!" As if to prove this statement his stomach growled. "See! Starving!"

Beside him Heero laughed. "It takes more than a few hours to starve." Just then his own stomach growled, making him blush. Duo laughed back at him. "I never said that I wasn't hungry!"

Demoonica sweat-dropped, could she just let them hang there all night? No, she couldn't. "Why didn't you just ask for dinner?"

The three San staged Bishounen gaped at her. She almost didn't hear Zero mumble, "That'd be embarrassing."

"And hanging pinata style from a tree isn't already? You three are such bakas! I should call Kai out here and tell him he can use you three as target practice!"

"You know, I wouldn't mind seeing that!" Rei called over to them. "Sucks to be you, I've been there already."

"She wouldn't really do that, would she?" Yamatto asked softly.

"Nah, she's picking on them right now... and waiting for Marou to get down off his high-horse." Rei whispered back. Yamatto chuckled. "Marou gave in when he sent the butterfly-things away, Demoonica knows this, now he's just trying to make it look like it's his idea and not hers."

Yamatto shook his head. "Complicated."

Rei nodded. "Marou has never been plesent, but he mostly directed it at Demoonica herself and she took to keeping him in his ball awhile back."

"So, today?"

Rei shrugged.

The conversation was interrupted by Marou teleporting himself down from the tree top. He sliced open the three cocoons with his elongated fingernails and returned by his own will to his ball on Demoonica's belt. The three teens crashed to the ground, Duo even tried to hug it. Heero glomped onto Demoonica huging her tightly, even though he was taller than she was, like a small child greeting a parent just getting home from work. Soon as Duo saw this he joined the other in hugging her, saying, "Oh thank gawd! I thought he was going to keep us there forever!" Heero added an 'I'm sorry, it was my fault.' Zero looked at the other two as they hugged their trainer, with a shrug he join them and ended up knocking them all to the ground, laughing.

"Guys!" Demoonica laughed. "C'mon, I feel like a little kid with a bunch of over happy puppies!"

Zander, know for his jealousy in the past few days, was actually laughing at the three's actions. There truly was no better way to describe how it looked, a bunch of over happy puppies indeed. All they needed were the ears and madly waging tails! The contradictory actions were not so strange really, he'd known the trio already and their standings with Demoonica, while he'd just met Bakura and Kamui, so he had the right to be standoff-ish to them. Or that's was his opinion.

"D-chan, they did save us dinner, didn't they?" Duo whined. "Didn't they?!"

o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o

Demoonica woke the next morning and looked around her in mild amusement. After Duo's comment the night before, she'd let the rest of her Bishounen out of ball, having realized that they also hadn't had dinner. They'd been clueless about the entire event, but got the story during the time it took to reheat the food. And after that... Well...

Zander had slept in his normal place to her left and there had been no getting Duo or Heero into their 'PD' Sphere created bedrooms, so they had dragged out their old sleeping bags and slept on her right. That she could understand, but why the hell almost all of her other Bishi had thought it was a sleep-over and did the same thing was beyond her. Had they all gone mad?! Or were they just wanting to get the same kind of treatment she'd given the two Gundam Bishounen and to a lesser extent the Pilot Candidate Bishounen? Demoonica rolled her eyes, she really couldn't see herself cuddling Allen or Kamui the way she did Heero and Duo and Rei... and Kai when she knew she could get away with it.

Her gaze drifted over to Wolfram, who was sleeping on the other side of the fire pit. Demoonica got a wicked gleam in her eyes, when she'd caught him he'd started yelling at her before he got the 'traditional welcome' from her. She stood up and walked over to the sleeping Bishounen.

The few of her other Bishounen who were already awake held back their laughter, they had pretty good ideas of what their trainer was planing.

Demoonica swiftly dropped to sit beside of Wolfram, her sudden presence on his sleeping bag was automatically noticed and the blond Bishounen jerked awake, sitting up in alarm. Without giving him time to figure out what was happening, Demoonica caught Wolfram with an arm and he was flat on his back again, this time with Demoonica hugging him tightly. "WAH! LET GO OF ME YOU PERVERTED GIRL! YOU ALREADY HAVE A BOYFRIEND!"

Everyone who had still been asleep jumped out of their sleep from the rude awakening.

"Welcome to the group, Wolf!" Demoonica said, giving the struggling Bishounen a quick little kiss to the forehead that made him freeze.

"Wha?"

Demoonica smirked. "Keep struggling and I'll embarrass you even worse."

"YOU WOULDN'T DARE!"

Demoonica let him go and sat back up. "Or would I? Hmm?" She raised an eyebrow at him.

Wolfram's face turned pink. "How should I know?! You're INSANE!"

Demoonica laughed. "Bakura's right, you make it so easy to pick on you! C'mon, it's time to get up, unless you want to eat breakfast in that pink frilly nightgown."

Wolfran glanced down at his sleeping atire, turned an even darker shade of pink, and in one fluid movement he'd curled back up into his sleeping bag, pulling it up over his head. "GO AWAY!"

Back over where Demoonica had been sleeping, Zander sat up sleepily. "Is he yelling again? What caused it this time?" A few of the others tried to hide their laughs, hoping the half-Bishounen would not notice and drop his line of questioning.

"I'm so proud of you!" Bakura said. He at next to her and put his arm around Demoonica.

"Hands or I remove them, Bakura." Zander growled at the white haired Yu-Gi-Oh! Bishounen.

He moved his arm from around her. "So, sleeping beauty refusing to get up?" Wolfram kicked him through the sleeping bag. "Ow, hey!"

"You're teasing him too much." She turned to the hiding Bishounen. "Wolf, you'll have to get use to Bakura's teasing, you know."

"Tell him to leave me alone then!"

Bakura chuckled. "Are you sure he's a guy? He whines like a woman."

"I do not!"

"Okay, that's enough 'Kura, let's let Wolfram get changed." Demoonica stood up and wandered over to the cooking fire. "Rei's making breakfast?"

"Yeah, a traditional Chinese breakfast and I'm going to make steamed meat buns for later, too."

Demoonica brightened. "Ooo."

o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o

The day passed quickly, Demoonica having Inuyasha train against the monsters created by the battle chip in her BishiGear. All was going well until around three o'clock that afternoon.

"Feh. Come on, I want some real training! Ain't there any trainers around here? I thought you said we were near a town!"

"I'm game." Zander said.

Inuyasha frowned. "Hm, I don't know... you're her mate an all." He said waving at Demoonica.

Zander went bright red. "Her what?!" He sputtered.

Inuyasha's ears flicked. "Mate?" He looked at them questioningly. "I mean, you're scents... am I wrong?"

"Oh, um..." Demoonica looked at a tree as if it was the most interesting thing she'd ever seen. "Inuyasha, that term is... you see..." She looked back at the hanyou. "That's a very demon way to put it and often makes humans uneasy."

"I beleave you called it 'friends with benefits' back when we were traveling with some of the other girls." Zander inputted. "When we weren't officially dating." He looked almost as uncomfortable as Demoonica about the subject. "Of course back then we were only friends, no 'benefits'." This was followed by an uneasy laugh.

Inuyasha looked between the two of them. "Does it mean the same thing?"

"Not quite... uh, it isn't a... the people involved aren't bound to rules about loyalty."

Inuyasha crinkled up his nose. "Well you aren't a very loyal race, I think that makes sense. Neither are dog demons, so I can't say anything." Suddenly his ears drooped. "Don't tell Kagome I said that, I'd never hear the end of it. She'll think I've not been loyal to her. Feh, as if." He had obviously gotten himself off track, and was now standing there talking to himself, his arms crossed over his chest. "I didn't go though a 'wedding ceremony' on a whim." He began mumbling.

Demoonica looked over at Zander, who had a bewildered look on his face. The best he could do was shrug. At least the half dog demon wasn't talking about their love life any more. It was... frightening.

"So... about that training?"

Inuyasha stopped his mumbling. "Eh?"

"Well?"

"No not that, I thought I heard something." Inuyasha jumped up into the nearest tree. He sat there for a few moments, being very still. "We've got company..."

The World of Songwinds Bishounen and Bishoujo:

Demoonica's Story

by

Lady Demoonica Darkmoon

o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o

Inuyasha jumped up into the nearest tree. He sat there for a few moments, being very still. "We've got company..."

Zander and Demoonica looked to the area that Inuyasha was watching. "Trainer? Or Bishi?" Demoonica asked.

Inuyasha huffed. "Eh, Bishi." He said after a moment, then he drew the Tetsuiga. It transformed as he drew it. "Wind Scar!" He swung the sword sideways and the energy cut through a wide arc of the forest ahead of them.

"YAH!"

"Yah?" Demoonica blinked, that'd been a female voice. A very startled female voice at that. Inuyasha jumped down to stand a few steps in front of her and Zander, Tetsuiga at the ready.

The remaining flurry of leaves that had been kicked up by the Wind Scar attack began to settle. The first thing they noticed was a bright orange blob half covered in leaves. Demoonica couldn't help but think 'Is that a Naruto?' but then she remembered that they'd heard a female voice.

A pair of small hands still covered the top of spiky silver hair as the Bishoujo looked up from her 'duck and cover', that attack had almost hit her! "It's only fair to have some kind of warning before you pull stunts like that." She said to Inuyasha.

"Says you! How could I have known you were just a harmless wench?!" Inuyasha bit back.

The Bishoujo gave him a glare for that line. She sat up and began to remove the leaves and twigs from her hair, as she did this she thought 'Augh, how did half the forest end up in here?!' After this was done she stood up and picked up a staff that had been hidden in the mess of fallen leaves.

Inuyasha automatically tightened his grip on the Tetsuiga.

She only dusted the dirt from her clothes the best she could. Demoonica couldn't be sure if the Bishoujo had noticed her or not by now, but if she had, the Bishoujo hadn't made any effort to let them know. Taking a moment, Demoonica looked over the outfit the Bishoujo was wearing. She was dressed in a bright orange over-coat with white lining, black edging, and gold buttons. Under this was a ladies cut style of tunic, black pants, and a pair of white boots, again with gold buttons. The Bishoujo looked to be in her twenties, maybe around the age of Demoonica's Kagome.

Demoonica took a chance and lifted her left wrist to aim the BishiGear at the Bishoujo. She flipped it open and pushed the 'Scan' button. A moment later a picture of the Bishoujo appeared on the screen along with a small amount of data. Demoonica didn't read it all, but glanced at the Bishoujo's name and classification: Raine Sage, Magic user - Healer, Stage Sama.

Demoonica looked back at the Bishoujo and found she had fallen into a fighting stance. Raine had noticed the BishiGear and realized that Demoonica was a trainer. A quick look over at Inuyasha showed that he still didn't find the Bishoujo as any real threat, although he was watching her closely.

"Oi, Inuyasha, she's a healer." Demoonica told the dog hanyo.

"Heh, I should have figured. Female -fighters- wear a lot less clothes. 1" He transformed the Tetsuiga back into it's dormant form.

Demoonica palmed an empty Bishiball from her belt, hoping Inuyasha's tendency to talk down to women would hold the Bishoujo's attention for a moment longer.

"You aren't worth fighting."

The Bishoujo's eyes flickered to Inuyasha and Demoonica saw her chance. She pushed the button on the Bishiball that enlarged it and flung it at Raine. The quick movement caught Raine's attention and she brought up her staff to block the ball. However Demoonica's aim wasn't the best, a good thing because if she'd had good aim then the ball would have been blocked, as it was the ball hit Raine on the shoulder. Raine's eyes widened and she let out a gasp as she was drawn into the Bishiball.

-shake- -shake- -shake- -CLICK-

"Heh, not bad." Inuyasha said as he looked down at the still Bishiball.

Demoonica shrugged and walked over to the ball, picking it up. Her BishiGear beeped, registering the capture. "Raine Sage of the Tales of Symphonia video game. Stage Sama. Raine is a school teacher and archaeologist with a wide range of knowledge. She is calm, cautious, and tends to think about how things will be effected in the long run when making decisions. She is well versed in healing magics and some attack spells. Do you wish to nickname Bishoujo?"

"No nickname." Demoonica closed the BishiGear and held out the Bishiball containing Raine. "C'mon out Raine!" She tossed the ball into the air, calling forth the Bishoujo.

Raine appeared looking slightly put out. "W-what? Where did that room go?" She looked around herself, she was back in the forest. She spotted Demoonica then Inuyasha. "You could use lessons on manors, young man."

"Eh, like I give a flying fu-OW!" Inuyasha glared down at Raine. "You smacked me!"

"Now, now, temper, temper!" Raine said, shaking her finger at him.

"I'm not a child, wench!"

"And such language, I have my work cut out for me with you, don't I? Now-" And here she turned to Demoonica. "-hello trainer, I'm Raine Sage or I hope I still am, you didn't give me some silly nickname did you?"

"No silly nicknames." Raine gave a sigh of releaf and shook hands with Demoonica. "I'm Demoonica Darkmoon, nice to meet you Raine Sage. You've already met Inuyasha."

Raine frowned. "A pleasure, I'm sure." She said sarcastically.

"You should give up now if you're planing on changing his attitude, it's set in stone." Demoonica laughed. "And this is Zander, half-Bishi and boyfriend."

Zander held out his hand, Raine studied him for a moment, then took his hand. "Nice to meet you." Well it wasn't out-right hostility, but it was terce. Would Bishounen and Bishoujo ever feel comfortable around half-Bishi again? Kara had really screwed over the natural born half-Bishi with her crazed test subjects.

"Yeah." Zander replied.

Demoonica looked between the two, leave it to a female to be less welcoming about a half-Bishounen. "So Raine, did I catch you at a bad time?" Demoonica didn't realize the bad pun until she'd said it. "Uh, I mean, were you on your way to do anything important?"

"Not really, I was headed home from an extended research trip. So is the lughead your only Bishounen?"

In the background Inuyasha was cussing up a blue streak. "Hardly, I've been here..." Demoonica paused. "...going on two years now. You're my eighteenth capture."

"That's quite a lot."

"Really? I feel like I've been slacking off in it, I hardly ever spend much time hunting."

"Then you're very lucky."

Demoonica's BishiGear beeped. "Random battle spawning sights updated, new locations are as follows..." It began to tic off the locations.

Demoonica brought up the map and studied the points as they showed up. "Hmm." After a moment she closed the BishiGear back up. "We're heading that way, It'll bring us to Water Crest City by tonight."

Later, just before nightfall...

Demoonica passed her BishiGear through the gold orb that most monster battles left behind after being defeated. Raine had suggested the new method and it proved to be a slightly quicker way of registering the winnings. A loud beeping sounded from her BishiGear and the electronic voice spoke. "Area clear of random battle portal, a stronger 'Boss' level monster has been spawned ahead.

"Eh? We actually cleared the area?" Inuyasha asked, shouldering the Tetsuiga. "So, that contraption show the location of this boss monster or what?"

He was answered by the sudden shaking of the ground under their feet.

"I beleave, that would be it now." Raine quipped. "Inuyasha, do you feel up tp joining forces? You're beginning to look worn down."

"Yeah, whatever. Just stay out'a my way and cast spells, got it?"

Raine tightened her grip on her staff. "Got it. Shall we?"

"Right! Let's go!"

The pair of them rushed the oncoming giant monster.

o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o

Demoonica pulled up her trainer information and showed it to the guard outside of Water Crest City. The young guard looked over the information while his Raditz Bishounen stood in front of the gate making sure he looked very intimidating. "Alright, trainer Darkmoon and company, you are cleared to enter the city. Let them through, Radish." The Raditz growled something about stupid nicknames and moved aside.

"So, where to?" Zander asked, his hands clasped behind his head.

"Hotel, I hope it has a buffet, I'm starved." Demoonica headed towards the nearest hotel, hoping that the up-in-coming tournament wouldn't have all the rooms sold out. She was in luck, there didn't seem to be a huge crowd of trainers here like there had been back during the other tournament she'd been to.

"Hello, may I help you?" The clerk at the desk asked as Demoonica and Zander walked up.

"Yeah, could we get two singles?" Demoonica asked.

"Yes you can!" The woman said happily. "Please sign your name here, how long do you plan on staying?"

"Just until the end of the tournament."

"Two nights then, we had a sad turn out this year. Lots of the other trainers had more pressing matters. Will this be cash or charge?"

"Uh, debit from my account if that's okay?"

"We accept that too, Dex please." Demoonica pulled the small cord out of the side of her BishiGear and let the woman hook it into the small machine on the front desk. She looked over at Demoonica's bank account that was being shown on the computer screen beside her. "Hmm..."

"Is something wrong with my account?" Demoonica tried to look at the computer screen.

"Most of the funds in your account haven't been changed into credits, the common form of currency in our human towns. It's not a problem, just makes me have to think a little... oh, wait! Here we go, a direct deposit of credits from the Bishi World Safety Department for last month." She looked up at Demoonica. "May I suggest that you change the settings so that any money you win from monsters is changed directly into credits when it's added to your bank account. Okay." She unhooked Demoonica's BishiGear from the machine. "You're paid up for two singles for two days." She handed Demoonica two room card-keys. "Your rooms are on the third floor. Please enjoy your stay!"

"Thank you." Demoonica handed one of the card-keys to Zander and they headed for the elevator.

Demoonica swiped the card-key through the lock on her room, turning the little light from red to green, and pushed open the door. She shrugged off her backpack and sat it on her bed, then removed her trainer belts. The one that held all of her empty Bishiballs came off first, then the one that was connected to the Pocket Dimention area. The reaction was automatic, Demoonica felt the wave of cold that passed over her every time she removed the belts. She shivered and plucked a ball from the second belt and let the Bishounen out.

"Oi, Heero!" She ruffed his platinum blond hair.

He looked around the room. "We're in a hotel."

"Yeah, I sort of know that already."

Heero blushed, he hadn't meant to sound dumb to his trainer. He just had a bad habit of stating the obvious. "Sorry. I thought we were spending three days outside, not two."

"We were, then I realized that I had to be here soon enough to register for the tournament."

"Aa." He waited a moment. Demoonica didn't say anything more, instead she moved about the little hotel room, unpacking her things from the backpack. "So?"

"Oh, right." Demoonica stripped off her BishiGear and tossed it to him. "You're good with computers and money, right?"

Heero nodded. "Mn."

"Then fix my bank account's settings, the clerk was nice about it, but she pretty much told me that my account was a confusing mess."

Heero chuckled. "I see." He moved to sit on the single bed, leaning back against the head-board.

Demoonica pulled another Bishiball from the belt, this one she sat up along the empty wall, making the 'PD' door appear. She knocked on it and after a moment the door opened. "Zero! Congratulations, you get to have your room used as a sleep over area for two nights. Isn't that great?!"

The brown-haired, blue-eyed Goddess Candidate blinked at her. "I get to what?"

From over on the bed Heero snorted. "When Demoonica stays at a hotel, she uses one of our rooms as free for all space. It lets us spend free time together out here and not in that 'PD' space the belt makes. Think of it as the only time we get to watch any TV." He pointed to the TV on the wall at the end of the bed. "I call first show, Kogepan."

"Kogepan?"

Heero only gave a small smile and turned his attention to Demoonica's bank account, glad that he was great at math and happy to see that there was a list in the corner of the exchange rates between the commonly used credits and the various area currencies. This wouldn't be very hard.

"What are we doing tonight?" Zander asked, while walking into the room.

"I was going to eat in the hotel buffet, but I saw it was closed. We passed a few food places on the way here, so depending on how much money there is in my account when Heero finishes the conversions, I'll let the guys pick a place for dinner."

Zander nodded. He looked over at the rapidly typing Heero. "That give me time for a shower?"

"Yeah."

"Okay, I'll be back over when I'm done." He waved and was out the door a moment later. "See ya then."

Ten minutes later found Demoonica's hotel room and Zero's Pocket Dimension room buzzing with activity. Demoonica had to grab Duo's 'PD' ball and set it up as well so that they had enough room. Kagome had been shocked to learn that Demoonica had actually caught another Bishoujo and had saved Raine from Yami no Bakura's flirting nature by putting Inuyasha between him and them. Every time Bakura tried to get close, he found the point of the untransformed Tetsuiga pressed against his neck.

Demoonica looked at the poor hotel bed. Heero had finished with her back account and had turned the TV to some crack anime called 'Kogepan' that was about burnt bread, or something like that, she hadn't been able to watch it without feeling her intelligence drop. He and Duo, who knew the show, had taken over her bed along with Zero, Kai, Rei, Tala, and surprisingly Wolfram. Demoonica was still wondering how seven teenage boys could fit on a hotel bed, when Tsunomon bounced into her arms.

"Hi!" The Digimon chirped.

"Hi, Tsunomon."

"Hey, can I ask you something? Are you taking me too? I'm hungry!"

Demoonica laughed. "Of course I'm taking you too!"

"Yay! Thank you!" Tsunomon bounced out of her arms and back into Yamatto's. "Hey Matt, she said I can go too!"

The small blond, who was sitting in the floor at the end of the bed, nodded to Demoonica. He been pulled into watching 'Kogepan' with the others. Demoonica just shook her head and sighed. Okay, who hadn't she lost to the crack on TV? Allen, Kamui, Hiead, and Edward... Demoonica sweat-dropped.

"I don't get it." Ed said, watching the TV.

"Neither do I." She answered back. "Let's just hope it's one of those shows who are only five minutes long."

Heero clicked off the TV and a many 'Hey!' and 'I was watching that!' were heard. A moment later Zander opened the door to the room. "Sorry, I should have know better than to do my hair." His long chestnut hair was noticeably damp and his bangs were clinging to his face. Around the room many understanding looks were shared by those with long hair.

Zero was the first up and off of the poor hotel bed. "We're going to dinner now right?"

"Yeah, into your balls until I get out to the street." The room was filled with an explosion of bright red light as the number of people in it went from eighteen down to four. Demoonica waved Zero and Duo into their doors, putting on her trainer belt as they complied, and returned the two balls to the belt soon after. She adjusted the BishiGear on her arm, made sure she had her room card-key, and flipped off the light as she and Zander left.

o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o

TBC...

1 - Female fighters do seem to wear less than female healers.

2 - I've never seen 'Kogepan' but I was looking for something odd for the Bishi to watch and I couldn't see boys watching 'Kodocha' or 'Excel Saga'... eh, shrugs.

Demoonica's Story

Lady Demoonica Darkmoon

o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o

Demoonica yawned as she sat up. It was the morning before the tournament and she had to head to the Water Crest City Orientation Center to sign up. "Mn, up." She yawned again, looking over at the clock on the bedside stand. It was just after seven o'clock. "To friggen early."

"Morning!" Rei waved from beside the coffee pot. "You want coffee?"

Demoonica made a face. "I don't really drink the stuff, I'll get breakfast downstairs."

"Okay, here Kai." He handed a cup to the dual haired teen, who took it with a look of worship. "Your ma would kill me if she knew I was giving you coffee on a regular basis."

Demoonica blinked sleepily at them. "Why's that?"

"Aunt Maria says it stunts our growth." Rei replied.

"You're five-five and I'm five-six. My dad's always snuck me coffee, even when I was a Chibi. My mom's full of it."

Rei snickered. "She only worries about us."

Kai grunted and began to drink his coffee.

Demoonica shook her head. "Don't you want a real breakfast? Anyway, I'm getting a shower and then dragging you all down to the breakfast buffet."

o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o

Demoonica wandered into the hotel buffet, sadly she was talking and walking backwards at the time, so she ended up bumping into some one who suddenly walked into her path. A pair of hands caught her and pulled her back up. "Sorry, I didn't want them to run out of donuts..." The man trailed off. "Demoonica?!"

She looked up into surprised blue eyes. "Uh-"

The tall blond Bishounen stood her on her feet, turned her around, let go of her and stepped back. He gave Demoonica a bright smile. "I haven't seen you since the tournament back in Treah City. Are you working one of the consession stands again?"

Suddenly Demoonica smiled, remembering the Bishounen. "Vash! Merina!"

Vash's smile widened. "You do remember us! Merina is staying here to be in the tournament, we were in the area already. Hey, who are all the new faces? Merina and the guys are at a table in the other buffet room over there." He pointed to a set of glass double doors. "Why don't you join us for breakfast and catch up with my trainer?" With a happy wave to the Bishi that he knew and to Zander, Vash headed to the piled up trays of fresh dounuts.

Demoonica grabbed her breakfast and headed to the other dining room to surprise the red-headed trainer. "Merina!" She called out and waved at the taller girl.

Just as it had taken Demoonica a moment to remember Vash, it took a moment for Merina to remember the dark-haired girl who had greeted her. "Demoonica." She waved back. The girl's Trowa motioned for Demoonica to take the empty seat to Merina's left.

"Hello, Lady Darkmoon." He greeted, when Demoonica sat down.

"Hi Trowa. Oh! I bet Heero and Duo will be happy to meet you."

Trowa quirked his visible eyebrow at her. So she'd caught both a Heero and a Duo. He wondered if Demoonica's half-Bish companion was still with her and if he was, how had he taken to having a Duo around full time, one that was Demoonica's? "I'll be sure to talk to them."

Demoonica turned to Merina. The red-haired-trainer's other two Bishounen, Sesshomaru and Folken, made no offer to be nice and greet her, they seemed to pretend that she hadn't just sat down at the table. "So what have you been doing? It's been nearly a year!"

Merina paused, her spoon mid-way to her mouth. "I traveled with Hiromi for another two months." She took the bite.

"Okay. You know, I ran into Hiromi a while back, but didn't think to ask why you two weren't together anymore. Why'd you split up?"

Merina shrugged. "Nothing big, we were headed to different areas, that's all."

While the two trainers talked a few Bishounen walked in and took seats at the tables, then a few more. Merina and her group didn't notice that no other trainers came in. Soon though Vash came in, talking animatedly to an Allen. Vash seemed to be retelling one of his and Merina's battles.

Merina looked at the two of them. "Is that your Allen?"

Demoonica nodded. "He's a Sama now."

"That's wonderful. Have you had any luck with catching?"

Demoonica looked around the room. Sure that everyone was now in the room, she waved a finger above her head, indicating the room as she said, "Considering that all of -them- are mine, I'd say... yes."

o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o

"Inu-chan! The plant likes you!" Kit and Inuyasha-chan's giggling woke Youko that morning. He opened a golden eye, thinking that perhaps the two Chibis had grown a flower from the seeds he'd given them. A pretty little wild flower was not what he found.

'Oh no!' Youko scrambled to his feet and grabbed Kit out of the reach of the plant, setting him down at a safe distance. Inuyasha-chan was however already tangled up in the long twisting and snaking vines. "Inuyasha-chan, hold very still!"

Inu-chan giggled again. "Look it, Youko-sensei! I got one to grow!" Another of the vines twisted around the Chibi's ankle.

"Inuyasha-chan, please be still." Youko said calmly. "That is a Devil's Snare plant."

"Devaz Snare." Inu-chan lifted a hand and patted one of the vines, it slipped itself around his wrist. Youko's eyes widened. Without thinking of his own safety, Youko sprang forward.

The Devil's Snare lashed out at the fox demon, grasping him painfully around the ankle and starting to tighten. "Gah!" Youko cried out in pain. 'By Inari, I'm a plant master!' He thought as the magical plant pulled him towards the rest of the twisting vines. He heard Kit scream out for him, the young kitsune too frightened to move.

Inu-chan stared in shock at Youko caught in the plant's grasp. "No! No! Le'go of Youko-sensei!" He said as he struggled against the plant's vines.

The Devil's Snare violently whipped away the vine that was holding Youko's leg, causing deep gashes above the boney ankle. Youko stared at the retreating vine. It was acting in very much the same manner as a scolded pet. The vine, bloodied as it was, moved to slither across Inu-chan's face.

"Eew!" Inu-chan pushed the vine away from his face, the vines wrapped around his small wrists not hindering his movements at all. The Chibi looked back down at Youko. "Youko-sensei? Are you alright?"

Youko moaned and sat up, blood running freely from the gashes above his ankle. "I will be fine." He winced in pain.

Inu-chan looked at him and tugged himself free from the grasp of the Devil's Snare, the plant released him without a moments hesitation and Youko finally put two and two together. Inuyasha-chan had been in control of the Devil's Snare at least up until he himself had made the plant react to what could have been a threat, then the plant had protected it's master. It was amazing really, to see the plant act so against every bit of information the fox demon knew about it, even if his leg would always carry the scars from the encounter.

o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o

At nine o'clock Demoonica entered the Orientation Center, finding the entrance area empty. "Hello?" She called and walked down the hall, checking the doors as she went. They were all empty classrooms like the one she'd been orientated in back at Epoh City. She opened the next to last door and was greeted by the entire class looking over at her.

"OH! Hello, you're just a little late and haven't missed anything. Please have a seat!" The black haired man said and fixed his glasses.

"Oh professor, I'm not-"

"Questions later young lady, you can ask me after you've been orientated!" He wave Demoonica to a seat and turned back to the chalkboard. He began writing.

Demoonica sighed and took the seat in the back so she could watch the class. The professor, Prof. McKesson, was a lot different to listen to than the professor Demoonica had had on her first day in the BishiWorld. He didn't babble, seemed to know what he was talking about, and had no problem with telling the new arrivals about the punishments for capturing Chibi's or searching for the Bishi's cities. When he asked if anyone wanted to leave and return to Earth one of boys raised his hand. Prof. McKesson brought out one of his Bishoujo's, Chi, and had her take him to another area in the Orientation Center where he would be transported home. It had been very informative, and lasted twice as long as Demoonica's orientation had. She even felt like a few things were clearer to her and she'd been living on this world for quite some time!

Finally Prof. McKesson held up the needle and waved for the teens to line up, he worked down the line quickly, discarding each needle into the dangerous waste bin and taking the next blood sample with the ease of a trained doctor. He had all the samples lined up and waiting by the time the first sample, that of a confused blond girl around the age of fourteen, had finished it's creation of the girls first twenty BishiBalls.

Demoonica waited until all the newbie's had their belts on to try and speak to the professor again. "Prof. McKesson-"

"You again." He said looking at Demoonica. "Alright, what is it young lady?"

"I'm sorry for walking in on you're orientation professor. I'm not a newbie trainer, I came to sign up for the tournament and couldn't find anyone."

"That's because other than my Bishoujo, I'm the only one here today... What's your name?"

"Demoonica Darkmoon."

"Then Demoonica, if you don't mind waiting a little longer. I'll take these newbies so they can start meeting the Bishi that have came here."

"Came here?"

"Hm? You must have been here more than a few months if you don't know. Some Bishounen and Bishoujo from different areas have volunteered to be captured by trainers. I guess they wanted a say in who was their trainer or more importantly, who wasn't." He turned around to face the small group of teens. "Alright, now if you all will please follow me, you can go meet the Bishi, please remember that glomping is not allowed." He looked back at Demoonica. "I'll only be a moment, unless you'd like to join me in keeping the fangirls calm?"

Demoonica smiled. "Sure, I'd love to give you a hand. I've never seen a large group of uncaptured Bishi willing to mingle freely with a bunch of hyper trainers." Prof. McKesson laughed and ushered the new trainers out of the room, leading them down the hall to the last door.

Demoonica entered the room last and saw that at least four of the newbie trainers had 'forgotten' that they were not to glomp the Bishounen. Prof. McKesson was already pulling the first girl off of a Sanosuke. In like fashion, Demoonica freed a Daisuke Niwa from a small girl who had matching red spiky hair and red contacts in. Two more Bishounen were freed shortly, a Roxas who was glomped by an American girl and funnily enough, a thirteen-year-old boy who looked like he was cosplaying as Sasuke Uchiha had glomped a very surprised San staged Temari Bishoujo. When things settled down, and all the new trainers had paired off with the Bishi of their liking, Prof. McKesson waved them out and walked over to Demoonica.

"It looked like you've had your fair share of experience with glomping." He said with a laugh.

"My little sister glomped me all the time when I was back on Earth and some of the friends I've made here are apt to glomp me when we meet up. So about the tournament-"

"Excuse me professor." A Bishounen tapped Prof. McKesson on the shoulder. "But-"

"Hm? Oh, Ichigo why aren't you with your trainer?" Prof. McKesson asked, confused.

The Ichigo crossed his arms infront of his chest. "I should be, but your lack of counting ability has left me here without a trainer. Unless this girl is the only one left." He eyed Demoonica.

"Trainerless? Oh! Of course! The young man who went home." Prof. McKesson said finally understanding the situation. "I'm very sorry Ichigo, but we had one of the new trainers choose to return home. I can arrange for you to be taken back to your home area after I get this trainer signed up for tomorrows tournament."

Ichigo looked over at Demoonica. "A tournament?"

Demoonica nodded at the boy.

"Hm, it sounds interesting. Professor could you arrange my return home for after this tournament, I'd like to see it."

Prof. McKesson scratched his neck. "Well, I suppose. I would have you just stay anyway, but we only have orientation once a month in this town because of how few new trainers arrive here."

Ichigo nodded. "Perhaps, trainer-" He was speaking to Demoonica now. "-tomorrow could I sit with your Bishounen so that my status as an uncaught would not be known?"

Demoonica shrugged. "Sure."

"Then meet me here in the morning, before the tournament." He walked out of the room, his white overcoat-thing billowing out behind him in the same fashion that Seto Kaiba's overcoat had the tendency to do. Demoonica wondered how they got their clothes to do that.

"Ichigo thinks he'll be allowed to go with you." Demoonica stared at Prof. McKesson, who shrugged. "He only wants to evolve and knows that Bishounen who travel with trainers normally evolve sooner, maybe you could ask him to join you for the tournament. He may change his mind if he decides he doesn't like you."

"Change his mind, professor? Do you not want me to catch him if he asks?"

Prof. McKesson shook his head. "The program is for new trainers, Demoonica. It's to help them get started. It'd be chaos if any trainer could walk into an Orientation Center and get their choice of a new Bishounen."

"I understand." Demoonica nodded, understanding. "And if he still likes me when it's all over?"

"Well, Ichigo did ask for an escort back to his home area. What happens after he ges there and he leaves them, is up to him. Now, if you want to get signed up for the tournament we should go back to the entry way where the forms are at."

"I see." Katan said with a nod. "You've went about everything with a very demonic mind set, sadly that always leads to being on the losing side of things."

Shades growled at the Cherub Bishounen. "I'd like to see some one from this world to do any better on our plane of existence!" Glaring down at the calmly seated blue-haired Katan she hit the table with her fist, causing a small burst of flame to scorch its top.

"I was only stating the truth. Now as I understand, you need the halfling to help you. Correct?"

The bald headed man, Shocker, nodded. "Yeah, we've waited as long as posable and tried every other option we could think of before sending one of our most beloved to find a place with people who still had the ability to have children. When Avioc Malli came here twenty years ago, we didn't think that she'd end up doing what she did."

Shades sighed and flopped back down into her seat. "To think that she killed so many on this world as she let the people on ours die out slowly."

"So what are we talking about here? Are you planing to take the halfling with you?"

Shades and Shocker looked at each other. "That would be the best outcome, yes... but he is bonded to two of the inhabitance of this world and they would never be able to travel to our world." Shocker paused. "I'm not even sure that Avioc's boy could."

"What then?" Katan questioned.

Shades pulled a container from her trench-coat. "With enough of his DNA, we could be able to reintroduce the ability to have children back into the remaining people. If the DNA mixes into our own correctly, then we would no longer face our own extinction."

"That is only if the boy carries Avioc ability to merge his DNA with that of others." Shades finnished softly.

o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o

Demoonica walked into the Water Crest City Gym, once again paying no attention as to where she was going. It was just one of those days. This time she was however looking at the changes Heero had made to her bank account. She had to thank the Gundam Bishounen, it was such an easy interface! One page listed her total credits, followed by how much had came from what source. Another had a list of items she'd stored in the BishiGear, mostly this was a list of numbered Hoi Poi Capsules and items that had been dropped by the Monster Battle encounters. It was then that the inevitable happened, she tripped over some one.

"Wai!" Fwump! Demoonica landed on the slightly squishy floor.

"Itai- Aw man, just my luck! I take some time to do some training and I get bowled over my a girl!" The person Demoonica had apparently 'bowled over' whined. "Hey, you mind getting off my back?"

Demoonica jumped up blushing. "Sorry!" She looked down at the Bishounen.

"Hey Kuabara, don'a be take'n all day now!" Came what sounded like an Irish or Scottish, Demoonica wasn't sure, voice.

"Yeah, yeah, Jin." The Kuabara on the floor waved, not looking up at the red-headed wind demon.

"She glomp ya?" The Jin asked as he pulled his legs up and sat Indian style in mid-air. He gave the Kuabara a cheeky grin.

Demoonica waved her hands in front of her. "No, forgive me. I tripped over your friend."

Jin laughed, making his elvish ears twitch. "It okay lass, probably the closest thing to a glomp that the fella will ever get. C'mon Kuabara, it's time for Urameshi ta kick ya arse again!"

"Trainer?" Demoonica asked.

"Eh two." Jin held up two fingers. "Our Summerset an' Meg have us training fur the turny. Having a fine time of it too."

Demoonica smiled. "Cool, I'm here for the tournament too."

"Yeah? Ya don't say?" Jin dropped his feet back to the floor. "Well then, you're welcome to join them, I'd guess. Hey Kuwabara, get up or I'll accuse ya of peeking up the lady's dress."

"I am not!" Kuwabara jumped to his feet and pointed at Demoonica. "And she ain't even wearing a skirt!"

Jin chuckled. "So ya was peeking!"

"Wha?" Kuwabara blinked. "Hey! That's entrapment! And I was not!"

"Eh, whatever you say. Ya coming back or what?"

"Yeah, I'm coming back as long as the shrimp and the mini-shrimp stop backing Urameshi, three against one isn't fair odds."

"Urameshi against you ain't fair odds! Our team's gon'a loose!"

Demoonica followed the bickering pair of Yu Yu Hakusho Bishounen into the training area. On one side sat a small black girl with short straight cut hair. Sitting with her were a Sasuke, a Youko Kurama, a Hiei, and a Reoko. On the other side sat...

Demoonica blinked. "Hey Megan!" She called out. A small black blur zoomed over to her, quickly followed by a larger black blur, better known as Megan's Chibi Hiei and his older brother.

"Inu! Inu!" Chibi Hiei said as he looked at Demoonica, wanting to see the little black-haired Inuyasha Chibi he remembered this trainer having with her.

The older Hiei looked at Demoonica's suddenly pained face and put a hand on his younger brother's head. The Chibi Hiei looked up at him. The older shook his head, causing the Chibi to frown and look sadly at Demoonica. "No Inu-chan?"

Demoonica closed her eyes. "He's some where else right now, Hi-kun."

"Oh, will he be back soon?"

"I... you won't be able to see him."

Hiei, the older one, nodded and picked up his brother, taking him back over to Megan and the rest of her Bishi. Demoonica followed.

Jin moved to the middle of the training area, Demoonica noticed that it was tightly packed, dry earth and not wood or stone flooring. "Alright, back to the next match." Jin said. "Kuwabara I'm rooting fur ya, Urameshi try not to beat him so bad that he can't fight tomorrow."

Kuwabara grumbled about not even his own team thinking he could win and moved to stand on his side of the training field. Megan's Yusuke Urameshi walked to his side of the field, hands jammed into his pockets. "Yeah, yeah. Get on with it already."

"Third of three bouts is Kazuma Kuwabara against Yusuke Urameshi." Jin held up his hand. Bringing it down quickly, he called out. "Fight begin!" Then zoomed up onto the air and out of the way.

The fight started.

In the end Yusuke won, much to Kuabara's disappointment, but really, everyone had known the outcome before the fight had even started.

"Yeah, well one of these days I'm gon'a flatten your ass Urameshi!"

"Feel free to try any time, I'm always up for making you look like one big bruise."

The two were at that time shaking hands, glints in their eyes saying that they had enjoyed the match.

Hi-kun ran out onto the field to congratulate his other 'brother', Megan and her other three Bishi's, Sesshoumaru, Briar and Trisana moved onto the field to do the same, leaving the older Hiei leaning back onto the bench above him. His arms fanned out to either side of him and his eyes still trained on the scene in front of them, he addressed Demoonica. "You're hurting. I saw it in your eyes."

Demoonica leaned forward, placing her elbows onto her knees and resting her chin in her hands. "Inu-chan is missing." Hiei stiffened at those simple words. "He ran away to keep another trainer from taking him from our group. We thought that the man's ninja Bishoujo would find him quickly, but Inu-chan slipped away some how. He's been gone for nearly three weeks." Demoonica shifted her face so she hid it in her hands. "I'm worried Hiei, for his safety and for what could be done because of this."

"Worried about your own skin?" His even tone didn't change.

"I can't help not being, not because I had Inu-chan, but because I was the reason he had to run away. I did something so stupid..."

"Hn." Hiei wasn't about to try and tell the girl otherwise.

"That's why I'm here, I'll help my Bishounen get stronger and then I will get both of them back, Inu-chan and Junia." Demoonica said strongly.

"I understand. Megan won't say no to helping you. Bring out those you want trained." Hiei stood and walked over to Megan, he talked quietly with his trainer away from the others. He said something and Megan looked over at Demoonica in surprise, then back to Hiei, nodding. Hiei nodded back. Megan picked up Hi-kun and waved for Briar and Trisana to follow her over to where Summerset was sitting with her Bishi.

Demoonica slid her hand over her BishiBalls, knowing who was in each because of the blood bond. She pulled free Kamui's ball, then Inuyasha's, finally her hand stopped over the ball that contained Marou. She looked down at the ball. Marou had tried, really he had. She moved her hand away from the ball. She didn't know who else she should use for the tournament.

"Hn. Having trouble?" Hiei asked, appearing beside of her. He looked pointedly at the two BishiBalls in her hand.

"The rules state that you need a full team of three and one alternate, unless you do not yet own four." Demoonica pulled free Allen's ball and finally Wolfram's ball. Tossing the four balls into the air, she called them out. Four flashes of red light later, the two San's and two Sama's were standing on the dirt training field, curiously staring at Hiei and Demoonica. She nodded at them. "Time to train."

Each of them drew their own sword. The feeling of a barrier being put up and the feeling of three others joining them, said that this wasn't some friendly match.

Hiei drew his sword. "Defend yourselves!" The declaration was followed by the sudden rise of energy levels, coming both from Hiei, who was in front of them, and three others behind them. With that the fight began.

It wasn't easy for Summerset, Megan, or Demoonica to follow most of the fight. Most of the demons were little more than blurs to the human eyes until they clashed for a moment, then they were gone again. A sudden flash of red and orange drew their attention to one corner, where Wolfram had summoned his fire magic. The demon tribesman didn't have the speed and strength of the other demons, he just wasn't that kind of demon and it showed. And Allen, though a Sama, wasn't able to do much more than block.

An hour passed and Allen was sitting beside Demoonica looking worst for wear, the battle royal style of match wasn't in his favor considering most of the others involved had demon blood of some kind or another. Kamui was keeping up with them rather well.

At the moment the four to three match was at a stand still, Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha were facing off in the middle of the arena, their team mates forced to the edges. A growl came from Inuyasha. Sesshomaru smirked, then swayed a little. Seeing the opening, Inuyasha rushed forward.

"Enough!" Hiei's voice cut through the large room. "We've trained enough, Kamui you can drop the barrier."

The dark haired Bishounen nodded and did as he was told.

"Hey shrimp, you just stopped us because I was about to beat Sesshoumaru!" Inuyasha yelled at Hiei.

"No, he stopped us because Sesshoumaru's energy just dropped through the floor, you stupid dog!" Yusuke yelled back. "If Hiei let you finish your attack, our team mate could have been seriousely hurt!"

"Feh." Inuyasha huffed and transformed Tetsuiga back into it's sealed form. He walked over to the trainers. "Just didn't want us winning." He grumbled to Demoonica.

"It wasn't about winning, Inuyasha." She said. "It was about pushing you to your limits and shoving you right passed them, it may have only been an hour long, but Hiei and the others were going all out and only holding back enough that they wouldn't kill."

Allen sighed. "Are we that lame?"

"Yes." Summerset's Hiei said, walking by as his trainer left the arena.

"You were against demons, any normal person would have died within seconds." Summerset's Youko offered.

"Yeah, you guys got good swordsmanship. It's just not on the level of Sesshoumaru or Hiei." Megan's Yusuke added.

"I thought you were trying to make him feel -better-." Wolfram butted in. "Not worse."

"Eh?" Yusuke's eyes widened and he scratched his cheek. "Oh. Right."

Demoonica's Story

by

Lady Demoonica Darkmoon

o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o

Demoonica fell out of the bed the next moring when the alarm went off. "Ouph!" She glared up at the ringing clock and blinked. "Who the hell set the clock for six thirty?!" She got no answer, then remembered that she had slipped from her room to Zander's room some time after midnight. Sitting up she looked over the bed to Zander's sleeping form. "Why are you getting up so early?!"

Zander rolled over, blinking sleep darkened eyes at his clock. He yawned and turned the ringer off. "Sorry. You can take a shower her if you want, before going to your room."

Demoonica shook her head and started pulling on her cloths. "I'll shower in my bathroom, maybe none of my Bishi are awake yet."

"Suite yourself." He said, yawning again. After a moment he seemed to zone out.

'What is he doing?' Demoonica thought and waved a hand in front of Zander's face. Nothing. He didn't even blink. She sighed. "Zander! What are you doing?!"

Zander jumped. "Hey! Don't yell! I was doing what Prof. Steve wants me to do. We got my powers under control while I stayed at the BishiWorld Safety Department Headquarters, now I have to make sure to use them..."

"So? What were you doing?"

"Telepathy. I was giving Sterling's Dio a VERY early morning wake up call." Zander snickered.

"You're mentally yelling in his ear." Demoonica dead-panned.

"Yep." Zander let out a little giggle. "He cursing the day I was born right now... and he's woke up the others."

"You know that isn't nice to Sterling or his Bishounen."

"Sterling is actually helping me... he can't use telepathy, but I was always working on mine with him, so it's easy to send to him and pick up his thoughts even this far away."

"And Dio?"

Zander shrugged. "I guess I can think loud enough to wake the dead." He paused. "That would be cool! I have got to talk to Prof. Steve and see if there's any Bishi with that power. Hey Demoonica, don't you think being a Necromancer would be cool?"

Demoonica stared at her boyfriend. "You have got to be kidding! Raising the dead is the last thing in the world that I'd think of as 'cool', that's... eww." She crinkled up her nose.

Zander shrugged. "I think it'd be cool." He mumbled.

"I'm going to my room now, try not to piss off Sterling's poor Dio any more this morning."

Zander laughed, but didn't promise anything. Demoonica headed back to her own hotel room, and slipped in without being noticed. Grabing clean clothes, she headed to the bathroom to take her morning shower.

o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o

Demoonica blinked up at the CASTLE that was looming over her and took a step back out of the tournament arena, looking up again it was not there, and when she stepped back through the entrance, BAM!, there it was again. Around her some of the other arriving trainers were doing the same thing, confused as to how the still normal looking Gym building held a gigantic castle inside of it.

"It's Dawning Castle." A Bishounen said as he shook his head at the crowd of trainers blocking the entrance way. Demoonica looked over at him, it was a dark haired Bishounen with glasses and wearing a black robe. "We magicked it up last night."

"Oh!" A small girl chirped. "That's neat!" Demoonica only nodded and finally went all the way into the building, dragging Zander with her by the hand.

"Oi! Demoonica! Hand." He said as he was almost forced to run over some poor random person.

"Uh? Oh! Heh heh, sorry Zander." She slowed her walking. "I am running a bit late though."

"I think I left shoe prints on that person..." Zander looked backwards. "Oops." He turned back around. "You're not that late, so no excuses to drag me around so much." He swung his hand, and Demoonica's with it, back and fourth. "See? Attached. I ain't going nowhere."

Demoonica blushed and looked away. "Yeah."

"Hey Demoonica!" Megan waved the other trainer over, her Chibi Hiei sitting on her shoulders. "They're getting ready to let us in." She pointed down the hall where around a dozen trainers were waiting.

"They've got some really weird rules for this thing. Have you read them?" Summerset said waving a sheet of paper.

"Uh, no I haven't. Isn't it going to be like any other tournament?" Demoonica asked.

"No way. This is set up like some adventure game! Here look!" Summerset handed the paper to Demoonica.

It read:

All trainers participating in the Annual Water Crest City Tournament must have with them a team of three Bishounen or Bishoujo of the San or Sama stage and one substitute Bishounen or Bishoujo also of the San or Sama stage. All other Bishounen and Bishoujo that a trainer owns must watch from the stands or be returned to their balls to be left in the care of a tournament official untill their trainer either finishes the tournament course or quits. If a trainer is in possession of a Chibi, then they will be allowed to bring them with them, but at no time is the Chibi to be put into harms way. If a trainer is found with a San or Sama staged Bishounen or Bishuojo in Supper Deformed mode trying to pass them off as a Chibi, they will be disqualified from the tournament.

The tournament takes place in a course known as Dawning Castle and all trainers and their Bishounen or Bishoujo will start out at different points on the lowest level. The goal is to out smart or out power the other teams while making it to the top of Dawning Castle. Along with the other teams, trainers will have to face traps, tests, and monsters blocking their path to the top, the first team there will win the tournament.

"Wow, this does sound like some video game." Zander said. He had read the paper over Demoonica's shoulder.

"Really." Demoonica agreed. "Well..." She pulled free a few Bishiballs from her belt. "...this changes the line up of my team somewhat. Why didn't they give us this information when we signed up?"

"I know!" A voice Demoonica knew spoke up. "It's because every year what happens at this tournament changes and how the trainers cope with the unknown is part of the test."

Demoonica turned around to see the trainer walking up to them. "Spatial!"

"Hi Demoonica." The Chinese-American albino girl, Spatial replied. "I thought that was you."

"Are you here for the tournament?"

"No." Spatial shook her head. "I don't have the needed amount of Bishi for this one."

"Oh, so you're watching? Could you see that my Bishi get to the standde okay, then?"

"Uh, sure. Shugo was drug off by Reina to get snacks, but as soon as they're back I can."

"Thanks!" Demoonica brought out her Bishi, most who had met the albino trainer while she had been at the Bishi World Safety Department. "Okay guys, I want you to sit with Spatial and don't cause trouble." She gave a pointed look at both Duo and Heero.

"What? We don't always get into trouble!" Heero said holding his hands up in his defense.

"Yeah, a lot of time Zero is in on the plans!" Duo said as he slung one arm over Heero's shoulders and the other over Zero's. "Ain't that right, guys?!"

"Duo! That's not helping our case."

"Ah, c'mon Hee-chan! I swear it's not just me who starts these things!"

Demoonica rolled her eyes. "Alright, alright, but no causing trouble Duo, really, okay?"

Duo looked crestfallen. "Alright, no causing trouble. Bakura's included with that too, right?"

"Bakura's going to stay with me." Demoonica pulled the white haired thief spirit out of the group. He looked happy and started to comment, but Demoonica cut him off as she continued. "And so is Raine, Wolfram, and Edward." Raine and Wolfram both moved over to Demoonica.

Edward stood where he was, looking at Demoonica, slightly shocked. "Me?!" He squeaked, and out of some nervous habit tugged at the end of his braid. "Why me?" He asked her softly. "I'm not of any use."

"You'll do fine, Ed." Demoonica pulled him out of the group of Bishi to stand beside of her. "I promise."

Edward looked at the ground. "If you say so, but... what about?" He took hold of his strawberry blond braid.

"Forget about your hair, Ed. Has the color of your hair and eyes ever effected how good you are at alchemy?"

Ed shook his head 'no', but he sill looked back down at the ground. "I haven't done much alchemy though." He mumbled. "And... everyone will see me."

Demoonice pulled the young San staged Bishounen into a hug. "Then you can show them how great you are, then can't you?"

"Uh," Ed blushed from being hugged, "I..."

"Touching. Forgetting some one?"

Demoonica looked up at the person who'd spoken, Ichigo. Oh, she'd forgotten about meeting up with him. "Ichigo."

"Whatever, it looks like you have a full party already."

Suddenly Sumerset raised her hand. "Um, well... uh... my Kuwabara didn't want to join in and my Sasuke ended up with some 24 hour cold. I was going to just have Sasuke as a reserve... but..."

"You want me to join you?" Ichigo asked and Summerset nodded. "Yeah, sure. Why not. What's your name?"

"Summerset."

"Alright then, let's do this." Ichigo walked away from the group, and with a small look back at them and a wave, so did Summerset.

"Good luck!" Demoonica called after her.

Suddenly above them the loud speakers came on and a woman's voice sounded over it. "All trainers participating in the tournament please continue into the waiting area."

The door at the end of the hall they were standing in opened, allowing them to enter.

"Alright. Good luck Demoonica." Zander kissed her on the cheek and headed for the stands. Demoonica blushed, then ushered her Bishounen down the hall with the rest of the trainers.

"Remember to behave for Spatial!" She called over her shouder just as she entered the other room.

"Alright!" Spatial said and looked at the large group of Bishi she'd been put in charge of. "We have a few minutes, let's go to the concession stands first."

o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o

An hour later...

Demoonica looked at the winged bat-eyeball thing as it followed her down the hall of Dawning Castle. The little Seibutsu were like living video cameras, and trained to follow each tournament contestant around so the audience could watch. How wonderfull, yet so far other than a few small traps she'd seen nothing of interest.

"Sh- hold up." Wolfram said and they all paused to listen. Clearly heard was a soft buzzing noise. "What is that?" The blond demon wondered out loud.

"Well, why don't we go find out?" Bakura gestured to the end of the hall to the room it opened into.

Wolfram tightened the grip on his sword and drew it a moment later, giving Bakura a nod.

Bakura's hands, finally doing something useful and not groping any girl in sight, moved to circle the Millennium Ring and it glowed to life, rising from his chest. He sent it's power outward, searching for a mind to take over. Bakura frowned and the Ring dropped back down. "The minds are not human." He pulled out a dagger. "But there are a lot of them."

"How about I start things off then?" Wolfram raised a hand, the start of a fireball forming above it. "All the particles belonging to the Flames..." The fire grew and swirled around. " ...obey the Demon Tribe that destroyed the Originators!" Half a dozen small fire balls rushed from his hand, their flaming tails swirling around each other as they raced down the hall, homing in on the monsters within the room. They could hear the monsters screech as they burned.

Edward, having been on the end of a fire attack and nearly dying from it, pushed himself back away from the blond demon. The fire, he couldn't stand it. That young Colonel bastard had made sure that Ed would never forget how fire felt. He shut his eyes, willing himself to just disappear. Seeing this, Demoonica let the young boy cling to her. She'd never seen Ed so afraid and realized that he must remember more about being attacked when he was still a Chibi than he let on. "It's just Wolf, Ed." She whispered to him and was thankful that the winged bat-eyeball thing was watching that attack and not was happening behind Wolf in that hallway.

Wolfram rushed forward, sword in hand, to engage the enemy one on one. The winged bat-eyeball thing followed him, it's wings beating at a rapid pace.

"Don't hog all the fun, pretty-boy!" Bakura called and ran into the room next.

Demoonica looked at Edward silently asking if he was alright now, the young alchemist shrugged. "I'd better keep up or who knows what they'll get into." She said.

"Yeah-" Suddenly a stray attack came flying down the hall. Out of instinct, Ed clapped his hands together and slapped them against the ground, causing a wall of stone to raise up, blocking them from harm. "Hey! Watch it!" He yelled at his comrades. Demoonica noticed him shiver and heard him mumble, "At least it wasn't another fireball."

o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o

Elsewhere, The BishiWorld Safety Department...

Junia watched Wufei pace back and forth across the room. Finally the Gundam Bishounen turned to him, looking the boy in the eye. "Well, we can only classify you as not a Chibi and not a San..." Wufei ran his hands through his messy black hair. It'd fallen out of it's normal tight ponytail hours ago. "So by all rights..." Wufei stopped again. Gawds why did he have to always deal with this stuff? Why didn't Megami-sama do her own job?! He didn't know what to tell the kid, he worked with cadets not children! He opened his mouth to try once more. "We've added the classifications of Tan and Chama to the lists of Bishounen and Bishoujo stages as such: Chibi, Tan, San, Chama, Sama." He stated mater of factly. "Tan being the classification for a Bishounen or Bishoujo Chibi that fails to evolve properly into the San stage and for the chance that this may happen again, or may have already unknowingly happened, the classification of Chama for a Bishounen or Bishoujo San who fails to evolve properly into the Sama stage. God help me if I have to start programing abilities and who knows what else into the Dex's for these stages for all of the known Bishi. And God help the next trainer who causes as many problems as that..." Wufei crinkled up his nose. " ...damn Onna!" He was of course talking about Demoonica.

"What does that mean for me then, sir?" Junia asked Wufei.

"It means that we can't do anything with the charges that Mr. Marten Garrett brought up against cadet Darkmoon, you are not a Chibi and the other Chibi he claims she had has not been brought to us."

"I- I'm free to go?" The small boy looked up at Wufei.

"Yes."

Junia paused. "Wait, sir, the other Chibi? You mean Inu-chan?"

Wufei looked down at Junia. "Yes. I'm afraid he hasn't been located."

"Oh." Junia said sadly. "Sir, will Miss Darkmoon be allowed to keep me now?"

"Of course, there was no problem with cadet Darkmoon keeping you, as she never caught you or the Inuyasha Chibi. She didn't break any laws." Wufei paused. "But tell me something, you said that your mother's trainer made her abandon you, right?" Junia nodded. "Do you remember that man's name?"

Junia shook his head. "No sir."

"How about how long ago it was?"

Junia thought for some time on that question, but he shook his head again. "No, only that I was alone for what seemed to be forever."

Wufei sighed. "Alright, well we'll contact cadet Darkmoon and have her collect you."

Junia nodded. "Yes, sir."

Wufei walked out of the room, trying to smooth his hair as he went. He was still mumbling something under his breath as the door shut behind him, leaving Junia there alone.

o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o

"Well, this must be the end of the first floor." Bakura stated as they finished off the monsters. It was a large room, with a dozen doorways like the one they had entered through and a staircase leading up. They couldn't be sure of how many of the other teams had already made it to this point.

"Are you sure that is the way?" Wolfam asked.

Bakura pointed to the stairs. "The sign says 'UP'."

Wolfram blushed. "Oh."

Demoonica gave a laugh, shaking her head. "Hey, come look at this." She waved the three Bishounen over to her. "It's a place to switch out a party member. Any of you want to switch with Raine for the next level?"

The three shook their heads. "Not right now, trainer of mine." Bakura said.

"This level was easy and we may need her healing powers later." Wolfram stated. "And I do have the ability to cast small healing spells."

"I'm alright." Ed said softly.

"Then up the steps we go!"

o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o

-Welcome to level two.-

o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o

-Welcome to level three.-

o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o

"Level two was easy." Bakura stretched as they entered the first room of level three. "Did anyone catch how many levels this was going to be?"

"Ten." Ed spoke up.

"Ah, I see."

"Alright, let's continue. We are in a race." Demoonica headed to the doorway. Edward, Wolfram, and Bakura followed. Bakura paused.

"Wait-" Bakura started, but it was too late and the floor under their feet gave away.

"Wah!" Demoonica reached out to grab at the edge. It was too far away.

-FWUMP!-

She landed with a dull thump, stirring up a cloud of dust. "Ouch."

"Ow, fu-"

"BAKURA!"

"Fu-fu-fudge..." He finished lamely.

Demoonica squinted in the dusty darkness and jumped as Wolfram, then Edward landed a moment later.

"Ouph!"

"Wah!"

-FWUMP!-

-FWUMP!-

"Where are we now?" Demoonica looked back up the long dark shaft, watching as the floor moved back into place and blocked their exit.

"An Oubliette." Bakura stated.

Demoonica's face lit up. "Oh! Finally something that I know about."

Bakura raised an eyebrow. "I know I've seen my fair share of these places, but how do you know about Oubliettes beautiful trainer mine?" He moved closer to her in the dark. "Some deep dark secret, perhaps?"

"Hardly." Demoonica said as she pushed his hand off of her cheek. "Why don't you stop being perverted and help me find the door."

"Bu-" Bakura looked confused. "Door?"

"Of course, this wouldn't be set up like a normal Oubliette, but like the one in the 'Labyrinth' movie. It's here to only slow us down."

"Aa. Wait, what's this 'Labyrinth' movie?"

Demoonica rolled her eyes, even though it was nearly pitch black. "I'll tell you all about it as soon as we escape. Wolf, Ed, why don't you take that side, look for a wooden door. It won't be attached to anything."

"But-" Wolf started.

"No questions, the explanation would be too confusing until I show you how it works, so just look."

o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o

Outside of Dawning Castle, the audience cheered as Demmonica's score rose for her show of knowledge. Zander jumped up and down, getting a few odd looks from the Bishounen around him. Suddenly Demoonica's BishiGear beeped. She wasn't allowed any of her trainers gear during the tournament, so he had all of it. He looked at the sender, it was the BWSD.

Zander flipped open the BishiGear. "Hello?"

Wufei's face appeared on the screen. "Maxwell?" He looked confused. "Please hand the device to cadet Darkmoon."

"Sorry, can't. She's taking part in the Water Crest City Tournament."

Wufei frowned. "Why is she always so troublesome?" He mumbled to himself.

"Hey Heero! Look it's Wu-fairy!" Duo pointed at the screen as he appeared over Zander's right shoulder. Heero looked over his other shoulder.

On the screen, Wufei twitched. "Max-well." He growled out between his clenched teeth.

"Back off Duo." Zander glared at the young San.

"Alright, alright, sheesh!" Duo sat back and pulled Heero with him. "If I can't watch, you can't watch." Heero pouted.

"What's up Wufei?" Zander asked.

"We here at the Department have something of Demoonica's." Wufei stated. "Her missing and I'm sure very missed... Chibi."

Zander smiled. "Which one?"

Wufei frowned. "You know, most wouldn't rub it in the Department's face that they have more than one Chibi, Maxwell. But, because you asked, it's Junia. Now, I have a lot of things to tell Cadet Darkmoon in person, but for now I'll asked you to meet Junia at the transporter in the towns square."

Zander looked up to the screens that were showing what was happening to the trainers, right now it had switched to following some else, this trainer had also just fallen into an Oubliette. "Sure, I can do that." He turned off the BishiGear.

Zander stood, getting a few looks from Demoonica's Bishi. "I'll be back soon. Save my seat." He said, placing most of Demoonica's trainer gear in his seat and moving to the end of the row of seats.

He exited the Gym, heading for the center of town, where the transporter was located. He shoved his hands into his pockets as he walked down the seemingly empty street.

"There." The darkly cloaked figure said to another, taller, darkly cloaked figure. "Take that one next."

The second figure nodded and disappeared from sight. Seconds later it appeared behind Zander, knocking the half-Bishounen out before he even knew he was under attack. Zander slumped down and the darkly cloaked figure picked him up, shouldering him with ease.

With another nod both figures disappeared, leaving only one small thing behind, unnoticed... Demoonica's BishiGear Zander had been carrying.

o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o

Junia exited the transporter, finding himself to now be in Water Crest City. "Hello?" He asked looking around for Zander. Wufei had said that the Chestnut-haired man would be waiting for him by the time he got here. "Mr. Maxwell?"

Junia stepped off of the transporter, he had spotted something on the ground. He looked down at it, then picked it up. "A BishiGear?" The young Bishounen questioned himself. He opened it and found Demoonica's name staring back at him from the screen. "Mr. Maxwell?" He called again. There still was no answer, there was no one in the streets at all. Junia bit his lip, where had Wufei said Demoonica was at? Gripping the BishiGear tightly to his chest Junia started down the street.

Demoonica's Story

Lady Demoonica Darkmoon

o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o

Raine cast a healing spell on Wolfram. "Ow..." He flinched as the wound healed rapidly. "What were those things? Harpies?"

"That would be my guess. Are you alright now?" Raine gave him a soft smile.

Wolfram flexed his arm. "Yeah."

"I have something that's hurting." Bakura spoke up. "It could use some 'hands on' attention." He made to grab her rear end.

"Pervert!" Raine swung her staff at the tomb robber. It hit him on the back of the head, knocking him to the ground. "Would you please make this thing behave?" She said to Demoonica as she waved at Bakura.

Demoonica laughed. Bakura hadn't been hurt and was laying on the floor looking up at the two women, one hand holding up his head, the fingers on the other hand tapping against the floor. "The women around here are more dangerous than the monsters."

Raine glanced down at him. "Lucky for you, I'm not wearing a skirt or else I'd kick you for good measure." She turned back to Wolfram. "It was a good idea to switch me in so I could heal this. Where are we anyway?"

"Eighth floor." Demoonica answered her.

"Ah, I see. What happened to young Edward?"

Demoonica sighed. "Wolfram was casting another one of his fire magics, it looked like a lion, and Ed was too close to the enemy. He wasn't hit, but..."

Raine frowned. "The poor boy. He really has a bad fear of fire doesn't he?"

o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o

Youko scooped up Inu-chan, placing the Chibi on his shoulders. "Hold on pup." Inu-chan wrapped his arms around Youko's head.

"Okay Youko-sensei!" He said. Around Inu-chan's neck a small vine twisted, the sprout form of the Devil's Snare. The deadly plant looked like a harmless choker type necklace.

"And you, Kit." Youko scooped up his young son.

"O'tay!" Kit giggled as his father kept a good hold on him.

"Here we go then!" Youko took off running at full speed, careful not to loose either of his young companions. They were, if he ran like this non stop, an hour away from the Yu Yu Hakushou area's main city. Even with the bandaged ankle, Youko could move much quicker carrying the two Chibi's than if he let them walk the distance. "We'll be home in an hour, Kit. Won't that be nice?" He asked the Chibi in his arms as he ran.

"Yeah!" Kit cheered.

Inu-chan smiled, holding on to Youko tightly. He'd never moved this fast before, his father never carried him.

o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o

Wolfram raised a hand. "All the particles belonging to the Flames..." The fire grew and swirled around. " ...obey the Demon Tribe that destroyed the Originators!" Half a dozen small fire balls rushed from his hand, their flaming tails swirling around each other as they homed in on the monster. It screamed in pain, making Demoonica flinch. It was a lot worse being in the same room as the monster that was burning to it's demise.

Bakura threw another dagger at the large beast in an attempt to blind it. "Aim for it's eyes, pretty-boy!" He called to Wolfram.

"I'm trying. And STOP calling me THAT!"

Beside of Demoonica, Raine gave a laugh and cast. "Holy Lance!" The magic formed and a multitude of lances made of yellow light rained down on the monstrous beast.

"Well, you can really tell that they've been stepping up the enemies on these levels." Demoonica commented. "This thing isn't even the Boss."

"Thanks!" Bakura called as the monster reared up from bring hit with the Raine's spell. He ran in under it a dagger in hand.

Demoonica turned her face away just as he stabbed the beast's soft underbelly. She really did not want to see that and she'd been having an upset stomach for the last few days anyway. She must have been more stressed out about the tournament than she thought.

o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o

The first thing Zander was aware of was the feeling of cold stone against his skin. Slowly he opened his eyes, but when the lights seemed all together too bright and made him feel like he was about to throw up he shut them tightly. His head hurt too. 'What was I drugged with?' He wondered and rolled onto his side with some difficulty, his body didn't want to cooperate.

"Hey! You shouldn't try that so soon!" Zander felt a hand grasp his shoulder that sent a wave of feelings rushing through his body. The hand stayed only long enough to steady him so that he didn't roll any farther. Zander didn't know it, but he was on the edge of a good four foot drop. This person had kept him from cracking his skull open.

"I know you can hear us, but don't try to talk yet." The voice told him.

'Damn right I can hear you!' Zander thought. 'It feels like you're yelling in my ears.' He opened his mouth to voice this, but the only thing that came out was a harsh gasp.

"Don't! Just listen!"

'Then stop yelling!' Zander grumbled in his head, and decided that if he couldn't say the words then he would use his telepathy. He started to tap into his powers, and felt a searing pain cut through his mind like a red hot poker. "Aahh-ah!" He grabbed his head, curling in on himself.

"Yama, grab him!" Another voice cut through Zander's red hot pain.

"But the drug!" Came the voice that had been speaking to Zander, but the hands returned, cupping Zander's head and letting it settle on the person's lap. "Stop snickering Bishira." The voice mumbled.

"Is he alright?" A female voice asked.

"Yeah, Umi." One of the hands stroked Zander's hair from his face, it left a fuzzy feeling where he was touched. "Hey, Zander." The boy spoke. "Do you remember me? It's Yamashira."

'Y-Yama?' Zander thought. 'That's one of those half-bishi trainers that followed Demoonica to the BWSD.'

"I don't know what you just tried to do, but I would advise against trying it again. They just brought you in a little while ago, so the stuff they drugged you with is still in your system."

A chain rattled and Zander was sure some one else had moved closer to him and Yamashira. "How are you eyes?" A different female voice. "You may be able to open them now."

'How many people were in this room?' Zander opened an eye just a crack, letting the much dimmer light filter in. He blinked, then opened his eyes completely. He was looking right up at the one male trainer, Yama.

"Sorry that they got you." Yama said, letting his hands move to rest on his knees.

'They? They who?' Zander thought, and it must have shown on his face. Yamashira continued.

"Not too sure who they are, but they don't see us as anything more than lab rats. Every one who's here is a half-bish."

"Yeah, natural borns like us only. Not those crazy test subjects I heard one trainer was making. Any one remember her name?" Another male voice, and the sound of a chain rattling.

"How -cough- h-how many?" Zander was able to ask, though Yamashira was glaring at him for speaking.

"You're as bad as Bishira, don't try to talk yet!" Yamashira grumbled. "And with you here now, there are eight of us. Me, my three brothers and two sisters." He glanced at some one out of Zander's range of sight. "And the kid who was here before us, he was the first to be kidnaped, but won't say a word to any of us."

o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o

"Ra, what is that thing?!" Bakura fell to the floor, his sudden stop having made those behind him knock him over.

"Get up you idiot." Wolfram grumbled at him, his arms crossed in front of his chest. Then he caught sight of what Bakura had seen.

There, in the middle of the room and blocking the steps leading to the ninth floor, was... what was that thing? Wolfram's thought's copied Bakura's words. The monster was a gigantic lavender colored lion with a pair of ram horns. It stood twenty feet high and thirty feet long.

"That, would be the Boss for this level, Bakura." Raine said, as if she were speaking to a very small child.

"Che. No, I would have never have guess-oww! Stop hitting me woman!" Bakura covered his head with his hands and scooted away from the half-elven woman.

"Any one else wondering why it isn't attacking?" Wolfram asked.

The four of them looked at the great beast, and indeed it did not move from the spot it was on. It opened it's mouth and began to speak... a riddle. "Riddles I have for, they number three. Answer them, one each, and I shall let you through."

"Okay, first riddle?" Demoonica asked.

"What has four legs in the morning, two at noon, and three at night?"

Both Raine and Demoonica smiled at the riddle, that one every one knew the answer to. Raine answered. "Man. He craws on his hands and knees as a baby, he walks upright during the middle of his life, and walks with a cane as his life draws to it's end."

"Correct." The beast nodded. "You have answered your riddle, pass."

Raine frowned, she didn't think she'd have to leave after answering the riddle. Then it dawned on her, each of them had to answer a riddle. Each! That left Bakura and Wolfram to answer the other two. She walked to the steps, it was a lot farther than it looked, she'd not be able to offer help with out the beast hearing.

Again the beast spoke. "What am I? I am the only thing that always tells the truth. I show off everything that I see. I come in all shapes and sizes. So tell me what I must be!"

Wolfram snorted. "Obviously the answer is a mirror."

Bakura looked at him. "You are just conceited, pretty-boy."

"You mean to tell me you didn't know that? Please." Wolfram crossed his arms.

"Again you are correct." The beast said with a second nod. "You, too, may pass."

Wolfram walked over to stand with Raine. "Are you sure it was best to leave this all up to the thief?" She asked him.

"If I didn't answer the last one, Bakura wouldn't get a chance to answer the third."

"I guess you're right." She ruffled the blond's hair. "Let see if he can do it, shall we?"

Finally the beast began the last riddle. "What force and strength can not get through, I with gentle touch can do," it was here that Bakura snickered, obviously thinking something perverted, "and many in the streets would stand, were I not as a friend in hand. What am I?"

Bakura crossed his arms, looking at the beast as if it were a disgustingly vile insect. "Please, it that the best you can do?" He said. " A key, the answer is a key! I'm a thief, you should not have chosen something I have a lot of knowledge about."

The beast bowed his head to Bakura. "You have correctly answered my last riddle, you and your trainer may pass."

"I... Bakura! That was brilliant!" Bakura was suddenly hugged by his trainer.

A huge grin crossed his face and he wrapped his arms around Demoonica. "I shall remind you, trainer of mine, of those words the next time I see fit."

"Grab my butt and I'll switch you out for Ed." She warned. Bakura's hands shot back up to where they had started and the thief laughed.

"I will never stop trying." He retorted.

"Well don't do it now. We've a tournament to win!"

o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o

"Something is not right." Junia mumbled to himself as he walked down the empty street. It wasn't that the town seemed to be empty, that was common for any town that was holding a tournament, but he couldn't shake the feeling that there were people around and that he was being watched. He just didn't know why he felt that way, there was no one in sight, no one at all.

High above the street, watching the Tan staged Junia, stood a set of cloaked figures, their hoods pulled up to hide their faces. They watched as the boy sped up his steps, causing them to glancing at one another. It looked like their presence had been noticed at this town, it was time to move on to new hunting grounds. With out a word, the two figures jumped into the air and disappeared.

Demoonica's Story

by

Lady Demoonica Darkmoon

o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o

"Last Bishi there has to do all the chores for one week! You better get a move on shorty-"

"Who are you calling SHORT, you psychopathic kleptomaniac tomb-robber! Who's so short that he can't be seen from a second story window!" Edward fumed as he chased after Bakura.

"I do hope those two aren't including me in their childish antics." Raine sighed.

"Yeah, but Bakura's jabs get Ed to act normal, normal for an Edward Elric's that is." Then Demoonica shrugged slightly. "Do you really want to be last and find out?" She asked the Bishoujo.

"Ah, good point." Raine took off after the two Bishounen. "Come back here! Bakura, stop making a nuisance of yourself!"

All was quiet.

The exit way blurred a little as Demoonica looked at it, she stopped to rub her eyes, hoping to clear her sight.

"Hey trainer mine! Hurry and see!" Bakura called back to her.

"Huh?" Demoonica asked, still feeling off in some way.

Bakura's silhouette appeared in the light of the exit. "C'mon, beautiful trainer of mine." He said with a smile. "We're at the exit and you want to win don't you? All you have to do is join Raine, me, and the pipsqueak out here."

"STOP CALLING ME PIPSQUEAK!!!" Edward yelled. Bakura just chuckled. "AH, SHOOT! BAKURA! HURRY UP! WE'VE GOT COMPETITION!!!"

"Ed, oh damn it all." Bakura cursed. "Demoonica, let's go beat whoever it is shall we? Demoonica? Demoon- whoa!" Bakura caught his trainer as she stumbled forward. He lifted her up in his arms. "Demoonica? Trainer mine?" He asked, worried.

"Don't feel well, 'Kura." She mumbled into his shoulder.

Bakura glared at the little winged bat-eyeball thing . "You who are watching, get one of your Ra damn medics ready! Right now!" He turned and ran onto the top of the castle, Demoonica cradled in his arms.

Outside of the castle, the mid-day sun shone brightly. It was blinding for a moment, but then his eyes adjusted. Edward was barely managing to hold off the other Bishounen and their trainer, keeping them from being the first full team to be standing on the platform, pulling up stone walls just in time as the previous one was broken through. If Bakura had cared to see who the group was, he may have recognized them as Megan and her Bishounen. As it was, he didn't care and didn't notice.

o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o

Zander shifted and sat up, it's been hours and what little there was to know had been told to him. "Do they plan on just letting us sit in here and die?" He asked Yamashira, who was beside of him.

They were each chained to what looked like an old fashion ball-and-chain, that normally would have been laughable if it wasn't spelled to high heaven. As it was, the thing was too heavy to pull along after him so he could only move so far. It felt like it was either keeping his powers constantly drained to the point that they couldn't be used or suppressing them, either way it hurt to try to do anything that tapped into his powers, all of the de'Ryu teens agreed on that point, as they were suffering through the same thing.

Yamashira shrugged, but before anymore could be said, the sound of boots clicking on the stone floor was heard. It stopped right outside their holding cell. "Alright, you in the corner!" Came a voice the surprised any one who could recognize it, and as their eyes adjusted to the light filtering in through the doorway they could see a Sama staged Hiei Bishounen standing there, waiting for the person he'd pointed out to get moving. "Hurry it up!" He snapped and a small fireball formed at his hand.

The person in question was the boy from earlier, the one none of the other's knew. He scrambled into standing and quickly made his way over to the Hiei. This left a few others wondering when the ball-and-chain hooked around his ankle had been removed, but then again maybe no one had noticed considering that they had finally met one of their captors and found out that, surprisingly, he was a Bishi.

Hiei caught the boy's wrists as he stopped in front of the Yu Yu Hakusho Bishounen and bound them in metal shackles. The boy followed the Hiei without a word of protest, his head bowed, the door closing behind them by it's own power as they left.

Around him Zander suddenly felt both a fiery reaction and an electrical one before they were suppressed. Beside him Yamashira frowned at both Bishira and Sylphira.

"Cut it out you two, we don't need anybody else half killing themselfs!" Umishira scolded her brothers.

o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o

"Demoonica!" This was shouted by no less than seven Bishounen and one Bishoujo as they raced towards the EMS Helicopter that was landing outside of the building that the tournament had been held in. Rei was the first to arrive, finding his trainer leaning against Bakura and Bakura looking far too upset to try anything, this was noticeable because one of his hands was resting gently on Demoonica's shoulder and the other was at Bakura's mouth as he chewed on his fingernails.

A Sama staged Nurse Joy, from Pokemon, and a Sama staged Dr. Ono Tofu, from Ranma, were there also. Joy was handing Demoonica what looked to be a few small pills and a paper cup filled with orange juice.

"Demoonica!" Rei cried out before he had to stop to take a few long panting breaths, because like all the other's he'd ran the entire way there. "Are you alright? Doc is she alright?" He asked looking between the two.

Dr. Tofu raise his hands, motioning for the San staged Rei to calm himself and let Demoonica's other Bishi catch up. When they had, he spoke to them. "Your trainer just had a fainting spell. She's alright now, though a bit light headed." To this Bakura absently nodded in the background. "She's alright," He insisted once again, "You don't have anything to worry about, she came about all the way when we were loading her onto the Helicopter and your Bakura companion has stayed with her even when we asked the others to return to their Bishiballs."

"What happened?" Kagome asked.

Dr. Tofu looked over to Demoonica. She looked at her Bishi, giving them a tired smile. "Really, I only fainted for a moment." She turned her head to face Bakura and patted the hand on her shoulder. "Thank you for catching me, 'Kura."

Bakura, still looking pale, nodded his head. "Of course, trainer of mine."

Joy looked at Demoonica, then took the empty cup from her. "Is it too early to congratulate you on winning the tournament? Or are the judges still deliberating on weather what happened effects the outcome?"

Demoonica shook her head, not knowing.

It was nearly an hour later when Junia found the building that was hosting the Water Crest City Tournament. He walked into the building only to stop and stare at the large inclosed space that couldn't be there from outward appearances, say nothing of the large castle sitting in the middle of it. Slightly in awe and impressed by what could be done by using magic he followed the cheering crowd's eyes to the large screens hovering around the outer walls of the castle. On it three trainers, for it was obvious that they were trainers, stood on raised platforms as they were announced as the first, second, and third place winners of the tournament. The voice booming out over the loud speakers was naming the three trainers. "In third place the trainer Summerset, in second place the trainer Megan, and this years first place winner trainer Demoonica! Two of this years winners are first year participants, so let's hear it for these outstanding young women!" The volume of the crowd went up ten fold just then and Junia thought to cover his ears.

'Now how do I get to Miss Darkmoon?' He wondered as he watched the nearest screen.

"Junia?!"

He looked over for the source of the voice. Kagome. "Miss Kagome!" He said before he was pulled into a big hug by his adopted mother. He blushed, still unused to such kindness.

"Oh Junia, why didn't anyone say you were being allowed to come back?" Kagome held him at arms length. "Did you see Inu-chan?" She asked with hope.

The young Bishounen shook his head. "Inu-chan was never brought to the Safety Department, Mr. Chang said that the man who took me from everyone never found him..."

"Oh." She looked down at him, sadly, for a moment, then hugged him to her again. "Don't worry, no one is upset with you. We'll find him, I'm sure we will."

Junia nodded. "Um, Miss Kagome?" He held out Demoonica's BishiGear. "Mr. Zander was suppose to be waiting for me, but when I got here, this was all I found."

"Wha? Demoonica's BishiGear?" She took it from him. "He did take this with him... I have a bad feeling Junia. C'mon, lets get to Demoonica." She walked him over to the other waiting Bishounen.

"Hey, look Heero! Junia's back!" Duo said, bringing all of their attention to the returning pair. "Hey!" He gave a wave and bounced over to the younger. "Wow, you've shot up!" He said as he measured the other to himself. "Ah man, another growth spurt and you're gonna be taller than me!" He whined as he realized the top of Junia's head was just under his nose.

Kagome left them, Duo, Heero, and Zero, who were now busy talking to Junia all at the same time, to go over to the older if not always more mature of Demoonica's Bishounen. "Is it almost over? We need to talk to Demoonica."

o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o

"And when I arrived, all I found was your BishiGear, ma'am." Junia finished retelling all that he knew of the situation.

"Ah, oh... hmm..." Demoonica paused, realizing she hadn't gotten real words to form. Finally she sighed. "Nothing can ever go right can it? We just get part of one thing back to normal, not even all of it, and something else comes along to complicate matters."

"Maybe we can be of some help, Miss Darkmoon."

Demoonica's head turned quickly, leaving her slightly dizzy and glad she was sitting on her hotel bed, to the open balcony doors. Katan stood there, his wings just finished folding. Behind him stood two people that Demoonica never thought she'd be seeing again.

"THEM!" She yelled, accusingly."Katan what were you thinking!"

Katan coughed. "Now please let me explain everything first, before you fly off the handle." He held up his hands, keeping the other two behind him. The ginger haired woman snorted. "Following your orders to track down the rumors of any activity that could be caused by your captors Miss Darkmoon, I found myself in the position to make contact with them... they didn't seem to have any interest in Bishounen, bad or otherwise, so I risked it. As things turn out, and I'll be as clear and short as I can with all of this... Well introductions first, these people are Shades," a nod from the woman, "and Shocker," a nod from the man, "who have came to this world in search of one of their own, one of their leaders. Her name was Avioc Malli."

He raised his hand to stop Demoonica from speaking. "Yes, I do know who that person was, your dear Zanders mother. As I was saying, when they found that she was dead, they planned to find Zander, because he is the first child to be born to their race in so long a time that they are dying out." He paused to let the words sink in, then continued. "Your kidnaping was an attempt to bring him to them, a poorly planed one might I add."

Here the man, Shocker, spoke up. "We are very sorry about everything, we haven't made contact with other races in thousands of years and we viewed you as something less than us, we shouldn't have." He was quite soft spoken for a guy who was at least six and a half feet tall and half of that wide.

The woman, Shades, crossed her arms. "Get on with it."

"Right." Katan continued. "If they would be allowed to find out why Zander was able to be born and take that back to their world with them, they want to leave the BishiWorld... they do require to run some tests and take samples..."

"I..." Demoonica glared at the two of them. "You'll leave? Leave and never bother me or anyone I know ever again?"

Both nodded. "Soon as we find Avioc's son and get a way back."

"Way back?"

Katan nodded. "The device that brought them here is unable to take them back, they are counting on Zander to have his mothers ability to open a portal back to their world."

Demoonica sighed. "I suppose I have to agree, but..."

"Zander is missing." Katan finished for her. "We were here in time to hear most of what's going on. Which brings me back to what I said, maybe we can help."

"How?" Demoonica didn't sound like she had much faith in that.

"When your Katan found us we were about to do just that." Shades said. "We took more time than we hoped too, but we are able to feel others of our kind... the boy is only half so it was harder, but we can find him now."

"Only took us months." Shocker mumbled.

"Yes, well..." Shades looked at Demoonica. "It didn't help that we had a small interference."

"Well if you know where he is right now, then lets go find him!" Zero was the first of the Bishounen in the room to speak up.

"Demoonica?" Bakura asked her quietly as the rest of the room was suddenly filled with a multitude of voices.

"How much farther must we go, Youko-sensei?" Inu-chan asked.

"We'll be there in just a few more minutes, pup." Youko answered. "Kit isn't my only little one, he is the youngest though. I have another son and a daughter. They are at home with my mate, I'm sure you will love to play with them, while I speak to the elder of our village."

Inu-chan nodded. "Okay. Kit?"

"Wha?" The younger Chibi asked from his fathers arms.

Inu-chan paused, then sighed. "Nothing."

"Oh, otay." Kit chirped.

Youko suddenly stopped dead still. He stood with his silvery fox ears turning this way, then that way as he listened carefully to the surrounding area. "All's clear." He confirmed a moment later and held out his hand touching the invisible barrier he had stopped in front of. It shimmered, then wavered as what was hidden from sight became visible.

He stepped through the barrier, just as two Chibi's came rushing from the traditional Japanese style house. One was an older version of Kit or a younger version of Youko, depending on the way you thought about it. The other was a girl with red hair, aqua eyes, fox ears, and fox tail. "Daddy!" They chorused together as they ran to their father.

"You-kun, Koto-chan."

"Big brother, big sister!" Kit called as he wiggled out of Youko's arms.

Inu-chan dropped down off of Youko's back, and stood hiding behind the fox demon's legs. Youko pushed him out around him and introduced him to his other two children. "I want you to take him to Koto. I'll be back soon." He said as he patted the little girl between her twitching ears.

"Yes daddy!"

o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o

Demoonica was obviously not happy about waiting to leave in the morning, but Bakura quietly pointed out to her that he could tell she wasn't feeling well yet, so she agreed to stay the night at the hotel and leave to find Zander in the morning.

It turned out more difficult than she thought, going to sleep with so many things weighing heavily on her mind. Without really thinking about it one of her hands slipped down to rest on the lower half of her belly. She rolled over, looking out the glass balcony doors. Sighing she sat up and noticing her hand she pulled it away and clasped her hands together on her lap.

"Trainer mine?"

"Hm 'Kura?"

"You should sleep." Bakura was sitting outside on the railing of the balcony. "In your condition, worrying yourself sick will only make matters worse."

"Mn."

Bakura laughed. "Words please, I don't have your translating skills."

Demoonica sighed and stood up, opened the balcony doors and joined Bakura outside. "Sorry, but it wasn't really a retort."

"Hm." Bakura nodded. "Why don't you want the others knowing yet?"

Demoonica leaned over the railing, looking down at the street below. "My mother was a collage student when she had me 'Kura and it changed her life. She had to drop out and get job, my father was never in my life. When I was five she met an older guy, a really nice guy who loved her and treated me like I was his, but when I was eight he and mother had a baby, my sister Exonia."

"You felt like you had been replaced?"

Demoonica shook her head. "No, I understood that a baby took a lot of attention, and I was never left out of things, but something in my mind is fuzzy. It's like I forgot something a long time ago and it's trying to come back to me. It started as soon as Dr. Tofu said that the tests said I was pregnant."

"Any clue what it is you forgot?"

"Uh-uh." Another shake of her head. "Well, maybe, sort of, something to do with why I didn't feel left out."

Bakura nodded, and putting an arm around Demoonica, he pulled her up against him. "You shouldn't be out here dressed like that, the weather's damp."

Demoonica looked at him out of the corner of her eye, not sure if Bakura would try being perverted, but after the minutes passed by and he didn't do anything, she relaxed in his hold.

"I'm many things, trainer of mine. Thief of items and," he winked at her, "of hearts, but I am fully aware of my actions and can choose not to act upon my nature. Fear not my wandering hands, for as much as you compare me to a Miroku, I am not one. I will keep your secret, but I want you to promise me that you won't wait too long to tell the others."

"Just until we find Zander, Bakura, I should tell him before everyone else." Demoonica yawned.

"Go to bed, trainer mine."

"Yeah, yeah, I know, I will. Bakura, why do you call me 'trainer mine' or 'trainer of mine' all the time?"

Bakura chuckled. "Hm, it's just a trait that some Bakura's have, our attitudes have been influenced by human's fan fiction and we tend to lable people as our own property, mostly when it comes to Ryou's, but also our trainer if we have one. Think of it as my way of saying 'I love you' and no one else can take you away from me, I'll never leave you. Just less sappy. Now," suddenly Demoonica found herself lifted up into Bakura's arms, "you won't get anything done tomorrow if you don't go to sleep. Don't make me turn into Kagome on you." He walk them into the room and sat her back down on her bed. "Good night beautiful trainer of mine." He placed a quick kiss to the palm of her hand and headed back out onto the balcony.

Demoonica shook her head, Bishounen could be so confusing. She slipped under her covers and watched as Bakura hopped over the balcony railing. A moment after he disappeared it clicked in Demoonica's head that he had actually left. "BAKURA!"

o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o

'In other news, there was a rash of thefts last night all over the city. The perpetrator was never seen and all the missing items were found sitting on the desk of the Chief of Police earlier this morning. The police staff are baffled by this occurrence, as there were no less then a dozen officers on duty at the police station at all times last night. At the station now is our own-'

Bakura chuckled as he turned off the TV in Demoonca's hotel room. Beside of him, glaring at him, was Demoonica. "I can't believe you!"

Bakura's chuckling became outright laughter. "Oh please! It was horribly boring, I had to do something with the stuff anyway. Why not leave it at the police station?"

"Bakura." Demoonica shook her head. "You did leave it all at the station, right?"

"Of course I did, I wasn't after the loot, just the excitement of the job. I can't let my skills fall to shambles, now can I?"

"I still can't believe you." Demoonica stood up and gathered her things, pulling on her BishiGear, belt, and shoes. "Better get into your ball, those two people," Demoonica grimaced, "will be here in a few minutes."

"No. I'm not leaving you alone."

"I'm not going to be alone." Demoonica unclipped Katan's BishiBall from her belt. "It's nice having Katan back, even with no bond limit I was starting to feel the difference of not having him with me constantly." She called the Cherub Bishounen out.

"Miss Darkmoon?" Katan gave her a small bow.

"Morning Katan. Okay Bakura, happy now?"

"I suppose." He returned to his ball.

Katan raised an eyebrow at the retreating Bishounen. "He seems better behaved than when I left." He commented.

"We came to a small understanding." Demoonica turned to the still sleeping Junia, the young Bishounen was curled up on the other side of Demoonica's bed. She shook his shoulder, waking him. "Junia, time to get up. We'll be leaving soon."

The boy sat up, rubbing the sleep from his eyes. "Mm? Morning?" His British accent was thick with sleep.

A few minutes later Demoonica was walking into the hotel's free continental breakfast, Katan and Junia in tow. "I don't care if those two are left waiting, I'm getting breakfast." She told Katan as they entered.

"Good morning!" Megan waved at her, the other trainer's six Bishi already with her at the table with their breakfasts.

"Morning!" Demoonica gave a wave back.

"Ey, new kid." Her Yusuke pointed at Junia with his chopsticks.

"Don't point. Rude." Chibi Hiei told him. He was sitting on his older brother's lap, both of them giving Yusuke the same disgusted look.

"What?! What I say? Sheesh." Yusuke grumbled, then returned to eating his bowl of rice.

"Um, I'm Junia." He mumbled as he sat down at the table with his oatmeal.

"Uh-hu." Demoonica added as she walked over. "He's the Chibi that Kagome adopted-"

Junia's eyes widened and he suddenly began hunting through the pockets of his clothes. "Um, Miss Darkmoon?" Junia looked at her and held out a small card. "I forgot that Commander Chang asked me to give you this upgrade card for your BishiGear." His voice dropped. "Sorry."

"An upgrade?" Demoonica slid the card into her BishiGear and it started beeping, then Megan's BishiDex began beeping too. A moment later the Dex of a trainer a few tables away started beeping, then the Dex of the trainer on the other side of the room. "GAH! What did I do!? I broke it!"

Around them all the other trainers looked at their BishiDex or BishiGear, wondering why it had started beeping. Outside the building BishiDex after BishiDex after BishGear started beeping, the interruption working it's way out away from Demoonica's BishiGear like a wave of water. With in minutes the wave of beeping had hit the edge of town and kept going. By then though, the beeping of Demoonica's BishiGear, Megan's BishiDex, and those belonging to all the trainers close to the start of the wave had finished beeping.

"What happened?" Demoonica looked at her BishiGear in confusion.

"Upgrade complete." Megan read from the screen of her BishiDex.

"It upgraded all of them?!" Demoonica blinked down at the small card sticking out of the slot in her BishiGear. She flipped it open and read the flashing words on the screen, beside of Bishounen and Bishoujo Index the words 'New Info!' blinked in bright red letters. She scrolled down to it, and around the city so did dozens of other trainers, and clicked into the Dex information.

Junia looked over at the screen, he only had to read the first sentence to know what the upgrade to the BishiDexs and BishiGears was about. 'Dear trainers it has come to our attention here at the Department of Bishounen, Bishoujo, and Seibutsu Monitoring that the division of the three well know stages of character development is in need of an upgrade.' Junia sighed and sat back.

"What the hell is a 'Chama'?" The trainer a few tables away asked her Bloodberry.

"Don't know. Or... how's that pronounced? Tan?" The Bishoujo asked back.

"You don't know? You're a Bishi!" She whined.

Junia fidgeted in his seat. "Um, Miss Darkmoon?"

Demoonica looked up from reading her BishiGear. "Hm?"

"I, uh." He raised his hand to his head, lifting it up above it, then dropping his hand back down into his lap. He downed his head. "You see..."

Demoonica looked at him, then read the notice on her BishiGear's screen again. Without a word she pulled an empty BishiBall from her belt and tapped him on the shoulder with it. Junia jerked his head up to look at her as the red light surrounded him and pulled him into the BishiBall.

Shake...

Shake...

Click!

Everyone but Demoonica and Katan stared wide-eyed at the BishiBall in Demoonica's hand. Then her BishiGear spoke: "Junior of the Read or Dream: The TV anime. Stage Tan. Junior is an agent for the British Library Special Operations Squad. He is the son of Nancy 'Miss Deep' Makuhari and Ikkyu, and was taken as soon as he was born. Although seeming to be around the age of twelve or thirteen in the anime, he is only four-years-old. They are shy, but become more open as they age. They react more strongly to mothering and kindness than to friendship. Do you wish to nickname this Bishounen?"

"No nickname." Demoonica told the BishiGear and called the young Bishounen back out of the ball. "Juni-or?"

He appeared, sitting right where he had been. "Juni-a." He said, his British accent making the 'or' sound into a 'ya' sound. "Please continue to call me that, Miss Darkmoon."

Across the table Megan's Bishounen just blinked.

"Did she just?" Yusuke asked.

"Yes." The older of the two Hiei's answered.

"On a hunch?!"

Hiei just shrugged.

"Ah." Junia looked down at his hands again. "It's my fault. It upset Commander Chang for hours. He said that for all the headaches that the least I could do was bring the upgrade chip to Miss Darkmoon."

Demoonica clipped the BishiBall back onto her belt, turning to her breakfast. "Yeah, well Wufei needs to pull the stick out of his backside." She shoved a fork full of potatoes into her mouth so she wouldn't say anything worse about the uptight Bishounen.

"We should get going, Miss Darkmoon." Katan said as he sipped his tea.

"They can wait."

"Yes, well then you believe that Mr. Maxwell can also wait." He took another sip of his tea.

Demoonica's fork stopped halfway to her mouth. She placed the fork down on the plate and pushed back her seat. "You're right. As much as I dislike those two people, they are the only ones who can help me with this." She bowed to Megan and the Bishounen at the table. "Excuse me. Megan, it was nice seeing you again and He-chan, next time I'll be sure that I have Inu-chan with me."

Chibi Hiei nodded happily.

Katan stood, following Demoonica as she headed out of the room. Junia scooted out of his chair and followed her too, looking over his shoulder as the others in the room went back to their own morning routines.

o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o

"Here, to here, to here, to here..." Shades' finger worked it's way up the map on the screen.

Demoonica blinked. "That far? How long do you plan to be traveling?"

"We should be there by nightfall."

"Uh-hu, there's no way we can travel through four territories in a single day, you're crazy."

"We got here from the northen continent in a little over one night." Shades pointed out.

Demoonica frowned. "So? Do I look like I have Katan's wings to keep up with you?"

Katan raised his hands. "I am sorry Miss Darkmoon, but I could not travle at that speed if I had to carry a passenger."

"And any mechanical devices would be noticed." Shocker put in as he pointed to an area and circled it with his finger. "The area is in some kind of magnetic field."

"Man I knew I should have caught a Chocobo." Demoonica pulled free one of her BishiBalls, calling out it's occupant. "Hey Matt, Tsunomon." She greeted them as they appeared. A quick explanation and two Digivolutions later Matt helped Demoonica up onto Garurumon's back.

Matt looked up at Katan, who nodded and took off after the quickly moving pair. "Hold on." He said and Demoonica did so quickly, knowing that Garurumon wouldn't wait. Still she yelped and grabbed into the blond harder as the large wolf Digimon took off after Katan. From her position sitting behind him, she didn't see Matt grin.

"Master Shido, are you sure the girl will be of any help?" Guni asked from her trainer's shoulder. They were watching from the forest shadows.

"She'll do just what we want Guni, she just has other things that are more important to her to do first." The man said as he pulled out a BishiBall, releasing it occupent.

"GRAWR!" The large creature roared as it appeared. It blinked down at it's trainer, then lowered itself so Shido could hop onto it's head.

"Okay Totoro, we're headed for the southern most town."

"GRAWR!" The large Totoro Sebutsu took to the sky.

Shido pulled his hood back up covering Guni from most of the wind. "But she's headed north! Master Shido, aren't we going to watch the girl?!" She cried in his ear.

"No Guni, we too have things we must do before we again meet with that girl."

o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o

"It's noon, we should eat lunch, and my butt is numb." Demoonica told Katan over the headset. He laughed.

"Alright, we'll rest for half an hour." He swooped down to Shades and Shocker. "Miss Darkmoon wishes to take a rest, will it set us back much?"

"We could..."

"Fine." Shades snapped. "Find a clear place from above."

Katan nodded and caught an updraft, propelling himself high into the sky. He searched the ground below and soon found a small red roofed house. 'Hm, a home of a Bishounen. Well it will have to do, besides Miss Darkmoon knows better than to do anything stupid when in a Bishounen territory.' He switched the headset back on. "Miss Darkmoon, we are about ten to fifteen minutes from a home, it would be wise not to do anything stupid while we are there. It is the closest place to take a rest, unless you can rest on the spidery paths your following in those woods."

"I'll take the house." She told him.

"Where are we anyway?" Matt asked her.

"I'll look." She paused to open her BishiGear and bring up the map. "We crossed into the Yu Yu Hakusho area some time back, it's the largest of the four areas we will be going through."

Matt nodded. Garurumon took a leep over a small stream and once again Demoonica was left clinging to the blond sitting in front of her on the large blue and white Digimon.

"I don't see how you don't fall off of him."

"You'll get use to it. Right Garurumon? She'll get use to it?" The Wolf Digimon nodded. "Look, we're almost there. The clearing starts right ahead."

Garurumon bounded out of the tree line and skidded to a stop. Waiting for them was Shades, Shocker, and Katan. There was also a Bishoujo that Demoonica didn't know, presumably the owner of the house.

"Took you long enough." Shades said.

Matt frowned at the ginger haired woman. Demoonica patted his shoulder and he looked back at her. Realizing that she wanted down, he had Garurumon hunker down and he helped her off of the Digimon.

"Sorry, but we're not as freakishly fast as you are." Demoonica said as she brushed past Shades and walked up to the Bishoujo. "Sorry for our interruption." She said as she gave the Bishoujo a bow. "We wont intrude for very long, we will only be rest here for a short time. It is alright?"

The Bishoujo blinked at Demoonica, she'd never met a trainer. "Uh, oh of course, meow!" She said with a smile, and her tail swished side to side.

Out of the house came running a child sized version of the Bishoujo. "Mama, mama! They won't give it back! The boys took my doll again!" The little girl cried. The Bishoujo sighed and followed her daughter back into the house.

"Ah, well it seems we have the okay to rest here."

"So don't waist your time." Shades moved to sit on the back porch of the house, not noticing the four small pairs of eyes watching her from the window.

Demoonica didn't say anything, instead she searched her BishiGear for the food Hoi Poi capsule, and finding it she 'poofed' it into existence.

"YAY! Lunch!" Tsunomon, having Digivolved out of Garurumon, bounced up and down.

Demoonica laughed at the small Digimon and walked past him with a plate of sandwiches. "You get yours from Matt, if i let you at the plate there will be none for the others."

"Aw." Tsunomon pouted and bounced into Matt's arms. "Matt! Feed me!"

"Hey! Tsunomon, that one's mine!"

"Here Katan." Demoonica walked past Shades to hand Katan his lunch.

"You didn't have t-"

"D-chan!" A loud, young voice cried as the back door suddenly and forcefully swung open.

"Huh? I-Inu-chan!"

The small black haired Chibi threw himself at Demoonica's legs. "D-chan! D-chan! Mama! Papa!" He hugged her legs. "I found you!"

"Inu-chan?!" Demoonica was stunned. "What on Earth are you doing here?"

Inu-chan lifted his face to look up at her. "Youko-sensei and Kit found me after I ran away from the bad man. Youko-sensei said he'd get me back to you! Is papa okay? The dark Bish-woman hurt him!"

Finally it caught up to Demoonica and she slid to her knees to hug the Chibi. "Oh Inu-chan!" And she started crying.

Later, after three sets of eyes that were watching from the doorway were introduced as Kit, Koto-chan, and You-kun, and after Kagome and Inuyasha could be talked into giving their son room to breath, and after a Sama staged Youko Kurama arrived to find the happy reunion full swing, Demoonica found herself sitting on the porch talking with Kagome and Inuyasha.

"W-what!" Demoonica squeaked.

Inuyasha nodded as Kagome repeated what he had just said. "You should catch Inu-chan. It's for his own safety. We're his parents and it's in the rules and regulations that it's alright if we allow it."

Demoonica didn't say anything and the three of them sat for some time just watching the Chibi playing with his new friends.

"Alright." Demoonica said. "But I'll do it after we leave here, it could scare the other Chibi's to watch his capture."

The World of Songwinds Bishounen and Bishoujo:

Demoonica's Story

by

Lady Demoonica Darkmoon

o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o

"I swear," Demoonica said after Garurumon took another sharp turn around a tree, "you have him do that on purpose!"

"What?! I can't hear you over the rushing wind!"

Demoonica sighed. "I said that you're doing that on- Whoa!" Garurumon took another sharp turn, then leapt over a fallen tree. Demoonica pressed her head to Matt's back. "I want off this ride, I'm gonna be sick." She mumbled.

"I'd slow him down, but then we'd loose sight of Katan. If you want another rest, call him on the headset."

Garurumon looked back over his shoulder. "Do you want me to slow down, Matt?"

"No, buddy, we're alright."

"Okay."

"Shouldn't he be watching where he's going?"

"Hm, oh! Yeah." Garurumon looked back forward taking a quick turn to the right, going around a large tree. "Hey, Matt I can't go around him!" Garurumon stiffened his legs, trying to put on the brakes. He dug in his claws as he started to slide.

Matt's eyes widened. "Hey, move!" He called out.

Demoonica lifted her head, looking over Matt's shoulder just in time to see a Bishounen who was doing a perfect impression of a deer caught in headlights. "Ah!" Demoonica ducked her head, her grip tightening once again. Torn up ground went flying as Garurumon hunkered down and finally slid to a stop.

"Uh..." The Bishounen said as he looked up at the monstrous wolf towering above him.

Matt, his arms wrapped around Garurumon's neck, looked up then down over at the Bishounen on the ground. "Sorry, we're kind of in a hurry and something this big is kind of hard to stop."

The other's legs must have gave out on him as he sunk down to the ground. "Why did I even listen to that old nut case?" He asked himself. "Wait here he tells me. Nearly gets me ran over! If I ever see that guy again..." He trailed off.

"Excuse me? Riku?" Demoonica was looking down over Garurumon's side.

He looked up at her.

The ball more fell down on top of Riku's head than it was thrown at him, but the effect was the same. The red light surrounded him and pulled him in, oddly he didn't look surprised, not that there was time to notice or anything. The red light disappeared into the BishiBall and it fell to the ground, motionless.

"That's it?" Demoonica asked. "I caught him? It didn't even shake."

Her BishiGear reacted to the capture. "Riku of the Kingdom Hearts video games and mangas. Stage San. Riku is a self-confidant youth and the wielder of the Way to Dawn Keyblade, they may also wield the 'Soul Eater' blade and the abilities to sense and control darkness. Over all he is much quicker and more powerful than Sora. Do you wish to nickname this Bishounen?"

Demoonica clicked on the 'no nickname' option and then snorted. "Anyone who's played any of the games could tell you that Sora only wins because you level him up to high heaven. I wonder if it's the same here in the BishiWorld?"

Matt shrugged. "Maybe he was in a fight earlier. He seemed kind of out of it, you know?" He grabbed Demoonica by the hand and helped her slip over the side of Garurumon. Demoonica picked up the ball, looking around as if some how she'd actually missed and would see the Riku Bishounen a few feet away glaring at her, but there was no one there. Just the BishiBall.

"That seemed too easy, even for me." She commented and grabbed Matt's hand again.

He pulled her back up. "Well," he paused to take a breath, "I don't see anyone out here setting up an ambush. The guy was just unlucky."

Garurumon stood up. "Are we ready Matt?"

Demoonica grasped Matt by the waist. "I really need to catch something with more than one speed." She mumbled and just caught a small laugh from Matt before her ears were again filled with the sound of the rushing wind.

o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o

"Okay, we're getting close, slow down." Katan said over the head set.

Demoonica patted Matt on the shoulder. "Katan says we can slow down."

Minutes later Demoonica was enjoying her ride on Garurumon a lot more than she had been as he trotted slowly through the woods.

"I don't get it," she said, "I don't see anything out of place around here. Just trees, trees and more trees. There isn't a building in sight." Matt just shrugged. The fluttering of wings alerted them to Katan landing not too far away. "Anything?" Demoonica asked.

"Hm, no." Katan frowned. "But they said that we were right on it."

"On it?"

"Yes." Katan looked around, folding his wings, then they just seemed to disappear into nothingness. Demoonica wasn't sure if they just became invisible or if they went somewhere when he did that, but thinking back didn't give her any clue. Katan normally kept them out. "I believe that what we are looking for is underground, now that we are here."

Demoonica groaned. "Great, and how do they suggest we get underground then, huh?"

"There has to be an entrance, right?" Shocker asked.

"Depends," Katan told him, "There are may in this world who can teleport anywhere they want to go."

Now Shades groaned. "I want to be done with this! I want to go home!"

"How large of an area are we talking about?" Shocker asked, ignoring his wife's complaining.

Shades lit up a fire ball around her hand. "Can't I just burn it?"

Shocker placed a hand on her shoulder. "Now, you know we can't. The less impact we make on this world the better."

"Hm," Katan looked at the map on Demoonica's BishiGear, "The area is a good few square miles, it would take us all night to search."

"By then who ever is doing this will know that we are here."

Katan nodded."Agreed."

Demoonica pulled a BishiBall from her belt. "Not if we up the amount of people searching." A flick of her hand and the ball flew up into the air, releasing it's occupant. Allen looked at her, then around.

"We have arrived, M'lady Darkmoon?"

Unknown to Demoonica and company, far below them an alarm sounded. "We have trainer activity above ground." Hiei said.

Sitting at a computer screen a man with messy brown hair glanced over at the Bishounen. "Why should we worry? They pose no threat. Ignore them and turn off that alarm." With that he turned his attention back to the computer screen. On the screen were tank after tank filled with Bishounen and Bishoujo, each floating in green colored water and a mask feeding them oxygen. "Who's next then?" He asked himself. "Hiei, bring the white haired halfling next, let's see how he fairs against his own little pets, shall we?"

Hiei nodded. "Yes. Which one?"

The man thought for a moment. "The blond one with the very large sword." He pushed a button and the picture on the computer screen flipped to the Bishounen he had chosen. "This one."

Hiei nodded again and left the room, an evil smile on his face.

"And turn off that alarm!"

Back on the surface Demoonica finished calling out most of her Bishounen. She paused as she came to the balls holding Junia and Inu-chan. She shook her head, even though they were above ground it could be dangerous. She dropped her hand to her side, she'd left five total in their balls: Marou, Hiead, Junia, Inu-chan, and Riku.

Demoonica told them what they were doing and they soon fanned out, searching the area for any hidden or secret entrances.

o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o

"C'mon." Hiei grabbed Yamashira by the back of his shirt and pulled him out of the sight of the others. In the doorway stood two other figures, each took hold of a de'Ryu sibling and took them with them. Then three more figures came and with them went the last of the others, leaving Zander alone in the room.

"Hey!" Zander yelled as he stumbled to his feet. "Where are you taking them?!" The last one who had came and left turned and looked back at Zander.

"We are taking them to different holding cells through out the compound, Hiei thinks it's best not to keep you all together, you may get... ideas." The Bishounen turned, then pulled Seishira down the dimly lit hall.

"But!" Zander grasped the bars of the cell door. "Hey! Come back here!" He fisted his hands and pounded the bars. "Damn!" The sound of a door slamming shut and the clicking of a heavy lock was his only answer.

Two halls away and one floor down was the arena, or that's what the Bishounen in the compound had came to call it. At this moment there were two standing in it, Yamashira, who Hiei had just shoved in, and a Bishounen that the teen-aged halfling knew so well, his Cloud Strife. Cloud stood there, his eyes dull with no spark of recognition in them.

The scream that echoed through the halls made those who had the other de'Ryu siblings pause in their walking, some even gave small laughs as Yamashira's brothers and sisters froze in horror. And some where in the compound, sitting at a computer, a man with messy brown hair smiled.

o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o

It had taken more than an hour of constant searching by all parties involved but they had found it, or more Kamui had found it.

"So, this is the entrance?" Demoonica said as she peered into the darkness. "Are we sure? Katan?"

"I believe so."

"Alright." Demoonica took a deep breath and ducked into the hollow of the tree.

"How's this work anyway? Walk into a tree and end up in an underground hallway."

"Illusions. There must be a master of illusions working in all of this."

"Shush, guys. We have no idea if they know we're here or not." Demoonica shushed them. "Let's keep it quiet."

They wandered through hall after hall, but all of them looked the same. Left, right, right again, left and ending up at an elevator shaft leading down. Demoonica paused at it. "I'm headed down, half of you follow me. Katan, keep an eye on them." She indicated Shades and Shocker with her hand.

Shades fumed, fire flickering along her hands. Shocker placed a hand on her shoulder and shook his head. Calmed, but not happy, Shades crossed her arms and 'Humphed'. "Why should we listen to her?" She argued. "We got her here, now let us find the son of Avioc and be done with this!"

Shocker sighed. "Alright. We will search up here. But, we will stay with Katan until we have seen the end of our mission."

"Fine. Let's go." Shades stormed past the elevator, heading deeper into the upper floor.

Demoonica turned sharply and pushed the down button. Half of her Bishounen, though she didn't take notice of the ones, followed her onto the elevator a moment later. Bakura gave her shoulder a squeeze.

"All will be well, trainer mine."

"I hope so 'Kura. I don't know how many more bad things that I can take."

"For you I shall hope that there are no more."

The elevator doors slid open and they walked out into another hallway of doors.

"What is this place?" Kai asked, looking through a door window into a room. "It almost reminds me of Voltair's labs under the Abby." He shivered. Tala moved to look in the window, then he nodded.

"Do you think we can get them out?" He asked.

Demoonica moved to the door, the two Bishounen moved aside allowing their trainer to see into the room. It was filled with monitoring equipment and set into the walls were tubes filled with green liquid, each held a Bishounen or Bishoujo. There were eight tubes total. She pushed the button that opened the door and they walked inside.

"Are they alive?" Zero, Demoonica noted and realized that she had none of her Sama stage Bishounen with her.

With a look from Demoonica Heero nodded. "I can try." He moved to one of the computers and started typing. The room was silent for the next few minutes, save for the sound of Heero's typing. "Heads up." He said, just as the green fluid drained from one tube and half of the glass slid open. The Bishounen in it pitched forward onto his knees and into the arms of Wolfram.

"Good catch Wolf."

Wolfram scrunched up his nose. "That green stuff is slimy."

"Were all of these Bishounen kidnaped?" Duo asked. Heero shook his head and pointed to the Bishiballs set in the front of each tube.

"I think that their trainer was, or perhaps ," He stopped typing, "could the suspended status be keeping the effects of a broken time/distance from taking hold of them? Demoonica... should I continue?" The platinum blond asked, worry in his voice.

"I-" Her answer was cut of as the Bishounen in Wolfram's arms spoke out, surprising them all.

"Please, get them out of these tanks." He coughed. "Damn oxygen tube. Our trainer... our trainer is here somewhere. His name is Sylphira."

Demoonica nodded. "Get them out as quickly as you can Heero."

"Hai!"

Above them, Katan watched as Shades kicked in a door. "Please, they have windows in them! Just look in them for crying out loud!"

"My temper is the reason!" She growled as she saw the room was nothing but storage.

At this Katan mumbled, "I can't believe they haven't taken notice of us by now." It continued this way for the rest of the hallway and the entire hallway after that. They came to a metal door with bars in it.

"Hey! Hey! What are you doing out there?!"

"Is that?" Kagome looked over at Inuyasha. "Zander?"

"Feh, of course it is!"

"Here, let me." Katan moved to the door and held out his hand, a ball of energy forming in it. He pulled back his arm then blasted the lock, melting it into nothing. Suddenly a blaringly loud alarm sounded.

"Great! You idiot! Now we know that they know we're here!"

'Unauthorized activity on level 2.' A computerized voice said, though it was hard to hear it over the alarm. 'Unauthorized activity on level 2. Now sealing all exits.'

Inuyasha's ears were pinned back and what he said summed it all up. "Just fricken' great!"

The World of Songwinds Bishounen and Bishoujo:

Demoonica's Story

by

Lady Demoonica Darkmoon

o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o

A few days earlier, a city in the Dragon Quest 8 area...

"Just trust me one time with out asking me things you know I can't tell you!"

Riku frowned. "I don't like it old man. Why the hell should I listen to you when you keep refusing to tell me a god da-"

Riku was hit on the head. "Watch the language. Just do it!"

Riku glared and grabbed his backpack from the foot of his bed, shoving his few belongings into it. He continued to glare as he moved around the small room. "How far is it?" He asked roughly.

The other finally smiled, crossing his arms. "A few days travel, it's marked by the largest tree in the area. There's no way you can miss it."

"And what do I do once I get there?"

The other shrugged. "Just wait there, it's a long trip and I'm sure you'll be tired."

This made Riku glare at the older Bishounen once again. "Just wait? What the hell will I be waiting for?"

The other just smiled wider. "That is also something that you won't be able to miss."

Riku just growled as he stormed from his room to the next and slammed the door behind himself as he left the small apartment. He took the stairs up to the roof and looked out over the city. "This had better not be some sort of stupid joke." He grumbled.

Below him, still standing in Riku's bedroom, the smile disappeared from the other's face. With a sigh he lifted his hand to the scar running down across the left side of his face. "I truly am sorry for what happens to you... to me... but if she isn't protected this one time..." His hand fell from his face and he looked over at the clock on the wall. "Just in time, too. I never realized until now how close this little trip came to failing." With that said, the clock's hand ticked over to noon and the Bishounen faded out of the room, returning to the seemingly distant future he had came from.

o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o

'Unauthorized activity on level 2. All exits now sealed.' The computerized voice said. 'Unauthorized activity on level 2.'

"Augh, for the love of God, Heero, can't you hack into the com system and shut that blasted alarm off!" Duo asked as he held his ears.

"Hn." Heero rolled his eyes, and finally got the last of the tanks to open. "Heads up." He swivelled the chair around in time to see the last of the kidnapped Bishounen being caught as he collapsed from the tank. Luckily whatever was keeping them suspended wore off as soon as they got a few good breaths of air into them and Heero was sure that the masks had been sending more into their bodies than oxygen.

"Good gravy, Heero, alarm?!" Duo asked again, looking frazzled.

Heero chuckled. "What's the use? Duo, if any one is here, then they are well aware of where we are already and are headed this way."

"Yeah, well..." Duo pouted. "What if I said it was hurting my ears?"

Heero shook his head.

Demoonica on the other hand was sorting out all of the free Bishounen and Bishoujo. Having disconnected all of the BishiBalls, she was handing them out to their occupants and grouping them together by trainer. "Okay, is everyone sorted out properly?" There were a good forty heads that shook yes. "Good, then I suggest each group head for their trainer." She paused. "Does anyone know just how many people or Bishi or whatever we are dealing with?"

"There does not seem to be a large group." Spoke up one Bishounen, Demoonica recognized him as Yamashira's Kurama. "They attacked Yama-san while we were all in our BishiBalls, and only a handful of different Bishounen have woken us. Also," Kurama looked uneasy. "Cloud-san is not here."

Demoonica looked at the single BishiBall still held in her hand. "Great," She said sarcastically, "I was hoping that I'd just missed one." She looked up to Kurama and handed him the ball. "Is this one of Yama-kun's?"

Kurama took the ball and studied it, then nodded. "Then the already empty tank was Cloud-san's. I will take this ball, Demoonica-san, and hope that when we find Yama-san that we find Cloud-san, also."

"I hope you do, Kurama."

The Bishounen nodded. "And I that you find your halfling, Demoonica-san." He turned to the others. "Let's get moving!" In agreement all the Bishi headed out of the room, each group heading their own way as the halls split into a maze of corridors. Around them the alarms still sounded, loud and strong.

"Demoonica." Bakura placed a hand on his trainer's shoulder. "Where do we go now? We asked all of the others, but they didn't have any idea to where Zander is being held."

Demoonica nodded. She checked the headset, but there was nothing but static so she couldn't contact Katan and the other group. This wasn't looking good. "We head deeper. Back to the elevator, guys."

They had just made it back to the elevator when the headset suddenly cleared and Demoonica heard Katan's voice clearly as it came through it. "Demoonica! Where ever you are, it'd be best to head back up here. We've found him." It sounded like he'd been repeating himself a few time already, considering Katan sounded slightly annoyed.

"Uh-uh, yeah." She stuttered into the small microphone mouth piece. "Wait! You did?!" She nearly shouted. Katan's conformation came a moment later and when the elevator stopped back on the first floor Demoonica dragged her Bishounen with her as she quickly headed to where Katan and the others had been headed earlier.

Bakura smiled over at the determination on his trainers face, if she didn't love that half-n-half, he sure as hell had no grasp on what love was. "Because, by Ra." He mumbled to himself with a shake of his head. Maybe he should cut out with all the perverted advances on his trainer. He frowned. No, that'd be no fun at all. Maybe he'd just make sure she knew he was only playing. That sounded good.

The sudden sound of a clap was the only thing either Demoonica or Bakura noticed before the floor in front of them pulled itself up in their path. Demoonica paused and looked back at Edward.

"Ed?"

The sound of something hitting the impromptu wall hard stopped her questioning. Ed shrugged, unsure of what had been the reason for the sudden shield, only that his reflex to make the wall was faster than his thoughts of why it was needed.

A crack appeared in the floor-turned-wall and a vine snaked it's way through it. Several more followed. "Really." A calm voice on the other side said. "That's not much of a protection and you didn't even take the time it gave you for anything... how boring." A flex of the vines and the wall shattered, crumbling to the floor in chunks and filling the air with dust that sent most of those there into coughing fits.

With the thick cloud of dust in the air it was hard to see the flashes of red light that happened. But the sound of a gasp from the owner of the vines wasn't lost. Nor were the words that followed. "Brats! How dare you!"

The dust cleared just enough for Demoonica to see who had been speaking, a Sama staged Youko Kurama and she was sure he was one she'd never met before. She blinked as a small piece of dust got in her eye and as she cleared it away she realized who the Karama was talking to.

"Junia! Inu-chan!" She called out, looking at the two smaller forms.

"I'm okay!" Inu-chan gave her a thumbs up and pointed to where the vines where. The vines, Youko Kurama's thorn covered rose ones were wrapped and tangled with the vines of the plant that Inu-chan had told her was a 'Diva's Snare'.

Junia stood beside of his friend. "Miss Darkmoon, please do not be worried for us." He said softly and pulled a gun from... well, somewhere, it was no time to wonder about that question again, besides she always got a headache when thinking about hammer space.

"Wait, where'd you get a gun?"

"Ah, please do not be mad at Duo-kun." Junia said as he bowed his head.

"Duo!" Demoonica snapped. Duo only gave her a small nervous laugh as a reply.

"Looks like the kids'll handle this one, trainer of mine." Bakura gave a tug on her hand, leading her around the tangle of vines. The Youko Kurama made a move towards them but suddenly found himself surrounded by the strange vines. He was confused when the vines refused to listen to him, no plant ever refused to listen to a Youko Kurama, it was against the laws of nature!

"Diva seems attracted to demon energy, Youko-san." Inu-chan said, sounding more grown up than Demoonica ever remembered hearing. Had she looked back, behind them she would have seen a bright glow that she and many trainers had come to know as 'The Light of Evolution'.

But by this time she'd been pulled down the hall by Bakura. "But 'Kura!" She said trying to pull her hand free.

The Youko Kurama glared at Inu-chan and Junia. "So she leaves a couple of little kids? Such a sad trainer." He pulled his energy out of his rose whip, turning it back into a seed in his hand. "But I'll deal with you quickly and with as little pain as I can, you are just children after all." He lashed out at them again, the rose whip growing greatly in length as it made it's way towards the two young Bishounen.

"Trust in them." Bakura said as he looked over his shoulder at Demoonica.

o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o

"Damn it! Hiei! Hiei!" The man yelled as he deleted the last file on his computer system, no data loss, he had it all downloaded to take with him. A sudden crack formed in the wall near him and he gave up yelling for the Bishounen, instead he pulled three Bishiballs from his belt, calling out to them. "Roisel, Marik, Kuronue. I want you to deal with these pests, then find your way to me. If you loose, you will not be mourned. If you do not catch up with me in time," He gave them a look that said 'you know what I'm talking about', "you will not be given the easy way out of your pained existence." He brushed his hand against their Bishiballs, if they were too far away from him for too long, he would let them suffer and die long before he would ever let them go free. With this said he turned to the computer and unlocked all the sealed doors, he didn't need to get locked in if the place fell down around him.

Silent nods were the only replies he was given, and then the three headed towards the unwelcome 'guests' of their trainer, death on their minds.

Demoonica ran, her hand still clasped in Bakura's. Of all the things that could have been going through her mind and of all the things that should have been going through her mind, the only thought she had at the moment was that it was surprising how much she had came to trust and count on Bakura in such a short time. For some reason, that made her smile.

They found Katan's group shortly after that, Demoonica launching herself into Zander's arms. Zander's shaky, don't do that because I'll fall over with you baka, arms. They landed on the floor, Demoonica atop the half-Bishounen. Around them there were some laughs, but they didn't seem to care.

"Dee!" Zander hugged her to him. "Damn, I love you even when you nearly knock my head off."

"Tch, how touching, eh-Marik?" Came a voice.

"How sweet, how sickening." Came the reply. There was laughter, three voices total. Just as they moved to attack suddenly over the laughter came another voice.

"Change of plans!" A sudden explosion rocked the area. The air filled with dust and debris, blocking the sight of the new-comers. "The boss wants this finished ASAP, so..." Another explosion.

"You're blowing up the place with us in it!" This was Marik's voice, the only one Demoonica could really put a name or face to from her anime knowledge.

"Yeah, so I suspect you three would like to haul ass and get a move on!" Came the new-comer's voice.

A growl. "And Kurama?"

"Shut it Kuronue, he'll have to take care of himself. Now let's go."

During this exchange, Demoonica and Zander had gotten to their feet, though each time an explosion rocked through the underground building Zander nearly lost his balance. A few of Demoonica's Bishounen watched him with odd looks on their faces, wondering what was wrong with the half-Bishounen.

"HERE! To remember us by!" There was a dash of movement in the shadowy dust, the sound of a sword being drawn, and the bright red flash of a Bishiball opening. A flash of a sword being swung and time slowed...

Red. Bright red. Blood red. Blood. Blood that arched up, following the swing of the sword. A scream of panic. A scream of pain.

"Tch, almost had her. Though I don't think he'll try getting in the way a second time." The voice sounded far away to Demoonica.

Demoonica felt herself being pushed backwards by the body that fell back against her. There were screams around her and laughter dying in the background. She landed on the floor, blood pooling down around her knees. She didn't notice another flash of red light as Marou, too, appeared from his Bishiball. She hardly felt the hand on her shoulder. She was too shocked. Too frightened. And somewhere deep down, she had a small spark of a kind of anger she'd never known.

The World of Songwinds Bishounen and Bishoujo:

Demoonica's Story

by

Lady Demoonica Darkmoon

o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o

-Somewhere just outside Domino City, Yu-Gi-Oh! areas...-

"We're brothers and we're partners, where one goes, the other will always follow."

Yami placed his hands on Yugi's shoulders. "R-Really? I'm pretty sure I remember you being very against this entire idea. What happened?"

Yugi downed his head, rubbing the back of his neck nervously. "I realized I shouldn't be mad at you..." He finally answered softly.

A grin appeared on Yami's face. "Are you coming with me, then?"

Yugi smiled up at Yami, though with this pair the height difference was not nearly as drastic as it was with others. "Yes!"

"Good." Yami paused. "Just who did you leave in charge of the game shop?"

Yugi looked nervous again, and started running down the road with out answering.

"Yugi! Yugi answer me!" His brother yelled as he took off after him, but there was laughter in the air.

o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o

-Somewhere far, far away...-

'Oh, my head.' Amidst several beeping machines, tubes, and wires, Riku opened his eyes after what was either the longest sleep in his entire life, or else a really bad hangover. And since he didn't drink, he wasn't inclined to choose the second option. Above him the ceiling was a boring off-white color, speckled with small pin sized holes. All very boring if you were to ask him. He looked to the left, finding the curtains to the room pulled closed. He looked right, passed the open privacy curtain and at the brown haired female in the other bed.

Demoonica glared up at the hospital ceiling, but no matter how hard she glared at it, it wouldn't go away or turn into something else. Two days had passed and she couldn't remember how they had gotten out of that, that... place. She glared harder.

"You know, I think whoever is in the bed on the floor above you is wondering just what in the world they did wrong."

Demoonica jumped, all traces of anger disappearing from her face. "Un..." She looked over at the Bishounen in the bed to her left. "Did you know they did say I could leave today?"

Riku looked back at her, a small frown on his face. His head was bandaged up, and there was a large thick patch taped over his left eye. Demoonica looked at him a moment longer, her eyes resting on the bandage. The look made Riku reach up and touch it. "It hurts, even with the pain killers, but..."

Demoonica looked down then away completely.

"But," Riku continued, "you shouldn't be upset with yourself. I knew something bad was about to happen and still I reacted."

"Y-you're... too impulsive." Demoonica's voice was so soft Riku wasn't sure she had been talking to him. Finally he shrugged.

"It's the way I am, can't change anything now. I'm not sorry I did that, popping out of that ball right when I did."

"You could have died." This was said a bit louder.

Riku shrugged again. "I'm alive. You on the other hand aren't so hard to hurt as Bishi are, you COULD have died." He replied back to her.

Demoonica shivered. "T-thank you, Riku."

Riku smiled.

"I know that the doctor was in here when they thought I was asleep and they were saying-"

Riku raised an eyebrow. "You were faking being asleep? Do that often?"

Demoonica didn't reply. She turned over on the hospital bed and pulled the cover up over her head.

A few hours later Demoonica truly was asleep. Just like on Earth it took forever to get discharged from a hospital. The room though was no longer so empty, quite a few of Demoonica's Bishounen were wandering in and out every few minutes, going between this room and the room of the others who were also waiting to be discharged.

"So she talked to you?" Katan asked as he stood over Riku's bed side.

Riku nodded. "Yeah, a bit."

Katan tilted his head over, looking at the sleeping trainer. "What did she say?"

"She thanked me, and said I could have died. That's about it."

Katan frowned. "I see. You know, the reason the doctors were keeping her was they were worried she may try something... she's, hn..." He couldn't seem to say the rest.

"They thought she'd try to hurt herself." Another voice cut in.

"Bakura." Katan warned him.

The other just waved him off. "You know as well as I do that it's what they thought." Bakura sneered. "As if my trainer would entertain such thoughts."

"Then... this isn't how she normally is?" Riku asked.

Katan and Bakura glanced at each other. Grabbing a chair Bakura swung it around backwards and sat down right next to Riku's bed. "No. Our lovely trainer is full of happy chatter and warming smiles, she cries when feeling down and is a tempest when angered. For her to just shut everyone out..." He sighed and rested his chin on the back of the chair.

Riku nodded, understanding. "I'm sorry, in a way it's my fault. The others said she was fine until she saw all the blood." His hand moved to the patch.

"I don't blame you for what's happened, there's been a lot of stressful things happening right now for our trainer. I want to believe that she's just sorting it all out in her head before she has to deal with it again." Bakura winked at Riku. "Smile, would ya? You're too hot to be moping around like this."

"Idiot!" Katan smacked Bakura on the back of the head. Riku laughed, though the comment had made him blush. Katan coughed. "Ah, yes, well then. I was speaking with the doctors and they said that we should try to keep our trainer away from stressful situations. May I suggest..." And so they began to plan, or perhaps they were plotting, because things never go as planned.

o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o

It was getting dark when Demoonica finally stepped out of the hospital, only to meet up with three others.

"Hey! Demoonica!" Zander smiled at her as he pulled her to him. The other two just gave them knowing looks. "Glad to see you are out of that place, I never did like hospitals." He said, a smile still on his face, but soon it faded. "Eh, hey, are you all right? You're not mad that I didn't drop in that much are you? These two," he pointed behind himself, "kept me locked up in the lab at the orientation center running a million tests. I swear they're vampires, what with how much blood they took." This last sentence was whispered.

Shades glowered at the young man, while her husband, Shocker, gave a barrel-chested laugh. Demoonica gave him a weak smile.

"I'm fine." She looked around, not recognizing the town. "Um, where are we now?"

"Hm? Oh, uh, we're in Norelec City. Right now it's the closest city over from Water Crest City, we're on the other side of the forest."

"Ah." Demoonica nodded.

"Well, boy, don't you have something to say to the little human?" Shades butted in.

"Just shut up, you bat." Zander grumbled.

"Zander?"

He rubbed the back of his head. "Well..." He drawled out the silence. "You see... the thing is..."

"Infuriating child. What the boy is failing to say is that he has agreed to help in returning us to our home world and that to do that we require to bring him with us."

"Take him with you!?"

"Of course, but you needn't worry, he will be returned to this world safely by the end of the summer. We have the technology to come to this world and it was suppose to get us back, but ours broke upon our arrival."

Demoonica nodded slowly. "It's alright, I know it's important."

Shades smiled and grabbed Zander by the arm. "Now, boy, we have work to do!"

"Ack! Demoonica, I take it back! Please get me away from this mad woman! She's worse than Prof. Steve and Washu! Together!" Zander squeaked as he was pulled around the corner. "Help!"

The large man stood there for a moment. "That wife of mine." There was laughter in his voice. "Well, don't you worry none about your beloved, young lady. I'll keep her from scaring him for life." He gave Demoonica a soft smile, then with a wave he followed his wife. "You'll see him soon!"

"Now where? Now what?" Demoonica wondered as she made her way down the street. It was almost dark, a few minutes of twilight left, when she came upon the Norelec City Orientation Center. A brightly lit window held a few advertisements, one for the new teleportation system that had just been set up in the city.

Without a second thought Demoonica pushed open the door. The well known cool gust of wind escaped as the door slid open. She walked over to the reception desk and spoke to the woman seated there. Half an hour later Demoonica smiled hopefully as she stepped onto the teleportation pad. Going back to Epoh City felt like going home.

[Lady Demoonica Darkmoon]

LDD: Welcome loyal readers one and all, even if you do refuse to leave reviews, to the continuing story of Demoonica and the Bishi World. This is book three, it will likely be over 26 chapters long. Why write this and not jump into another grand adventure plot, you ask? Easy, Demoonica has a large group of Bishi and they don't get enough 'screen time' as it were, and Demoonica really needs to develop her relationship with each of them before the next book, so this is what I came up with. Besides I wanted to go on a Bishi catching spree, lol. And shoving lots of captures into the main plot can really clutter the chapters, you know? I thought I'd get back to the roots of my Bishi World fic, by doing some fun writing. This story starts shortly after the end of book two.

One time DISCLAIMER: I do not own any of the anime, manga, game, web comic, TV show, movie, or book characters found in this story. Do not sue me, I have nothing. I'm not making money from this story, as it is for fun only. This Bishounen 'world' created by Songwind. I'm only a visitor.

Pocket Dimention 'PD' Spheres are mine. The Bishi World Safety Department is mine. Original characters not credited to another author are mine, this story is mine, the word Demoonica is MINE!! Sorry about that.

Thank you to all of my FanFiction reviewers from the last two books or seventy chapters, I posted this at the same time as the last chapters of book two. I have no idea of who will leave a review so I thank everyone who has dropped me a line over the past few years and everyone who has ever taken time just to read even a single chapter. So thank you and please enjoy the story!

BOOK THREE

CHAPTER 1: KAGOME

o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o

Demoonica unconsciously rubbed her flat abdomen. Ever sense the news a week ago that she was pregnant, the seventeen-year-old trainer had taken up the habit of doing that, and it was about to drive Kagome crazy.

"Demoonica-chan." Kagome grabbed hold of her trainers constantly moving wrist.

Demoonica paused in her walking and looked down at her captured hand. "I was doing it again?" She sounded exasperated. "No wonder my wrist hurts in the evenings." She sighed. "Thanks Kagome... is there anything I can do with my hands to stop this?" She pulled her wrist free and wrapped her arms around her body, trying not to start rubbing the place where the baby was growing.

"Can you walk and knit at the same time?" Kagome asked with a grin. "Can you even knit? I could teach you."

"I know how to knit. I was an odd kid and learned when I was like nine."

"Back to the first question then, think you can knit and walk?"

Demoonica looked at her. "You mean you weren't kidding?"

"No way! You've got to do something with your hands, so why not make booties or a baby blanket?"

"I guess we're getting knitting supplies when we get to the city." Demoonica said in defeat.

"Where are we headed anyway?" Kagome asked, suddenly realizing that she hadn't yet been told.

Demoonica smiled. "Inuyasha areas, I'm sure your families will be happy to see you."

Kagome nodded, a smile on her face. "Wait until they see Inu-chan," She paused, "I shouldn't still call him that should I? He was so upset about being called 'chan' after he evolved."

"Yeah, but wouldn't calling him Inuyasha get confusing? How do you do that in your cities anyway, tell two Bishi apart and know who's getting spoken to when the same name is being used?"

"Nicknames work for some, but I guess we just know like how some parents can tell their identical twins apart. How about 'Yasha' for Inu-chan, because Inu-kun sounds weird to me." Kagome suggested. "And 'Inu' only fits him on the new moon."

"Sounds okay, what does Yasha mean anyway?"

Kagome thought for a moment. "Forest protector is the closest I can translate it to in English."

"Okay, that fits. Did you see that plant he has now?"

Kagome frowned. "I remember that Youko guy saying it was called a Devil's Snare and that Inu-cha- I mean that Yasha, this isn't going to be easy is it? -that Yasha was using his demon powers to control the plant. I'm not sure if I like how that sounds, but with Inu- augh! I can't do it! -with YASHA not able to use the Tetsusaiga, I don't have any choice do I?"

Demoonica couldn't help but laugh at Kagome being unable to get use to calling her son something other than Inu-chan. "Sorry." She said as she stopped giggling. "Well it seems that he is good with it, so let's just watch and see how things turn out, okay?"

"Okay. So how far is my home area anyway?"

"You must have forgotten how it looks, because we've been inside the border for more than an hour."

Kagome stopped walking and looked around. "Eh, heh-heh, I guess it has changed a lot with the world shifts." She said with a blush. "And you shouldn't be walking non-stop for hours on end should you?" She crossed her arms and sounded like she had went back into 'mother' mode again.

"Why not? You did for most of your pregnancy."

"I'm also technically older than you, besides, I was use to it."

"And I'm not use to traveling by foot all day, every day, by now?"

"Point." Kagome sweat-dropped. "How far is town then?"

"Maybe another half of an hours walk. Hey, what's that up there?" Demoonica pointed to the small bundle of white beside the path.

Kegome's eyes widened. "A... a Chibi?" She jogged over to the small form, leaning down. "No, he's not a Chibi." She turned the young Bishounen over, gasping in surprise when she saw his bruised and cut face. Demoonica caught up to them just as the boy's eyes fluttered open.

"Not gon'a loose." He mumbled and he felt the ground beside of him for something. "My scythe..."

Demoonica saw the item some feet way, half hidden in the bushes, she collected it. "What happened?"

As if finally noticing the two females, the young man scooted out away from Kagome and stood up, a barrier forming around him, though it was obviously weak. "Another trainer." He glared at Demoonica. "That bastard didn't even keep me!"

"Huh?" Demoonica tilted her head to the side. "Your trainer abandoned you?"

Hakudoshi looked at her, then to his death scythe in her hands. "Give it back!" He commanded and held out his hand as if he thought Demoonica would listen.

Demoonica looked at the scythe in her hands. "No. I don't think I'll be doing that."

He glared harder at Demoonica, then to Kagome. "I'll fight you! Then you have to give it back!" He looked back at Demoonica as he declared this.

Kagome frowned. Reaching back she pulled free her bow and an arrow. A moment later the young Bishounen was pinned to the nearest tree behind him, an arrow through his shoulder, blood staining his white clothes red.

"Kagome!"

"What?! He wanted a fight, it's not my problem that he's already beat up so badly he can't keep a proper barrier up!" Kagome stood, her hands on her hips, one hand holding her bow.

"Did you have to put an arrow through him?"

"Well..." Kagome shrugged.

Demoonica shook her head. "Was that a sealing arrow?"

"Why?"

"Because he keeps getting shocked when he tries to remove it."

Kagome whipped her head around just in time to see just that happen. "Hey! Stop that!"

Demoonica sighed. "Hold still." At first it looked like she was going to pull the arrow out of his shoulder, but instead she pulled an empty Bishiball from her belt and tapped it against his uninjured shoulder.

"What? Hey!" Hakudoushi was pulled into the Bishiball, leaving the arrow stuck in the tree. In Demoonica's hand it shook, the button on the front beeping red. It shook, once... twice... three times, then with a faint dinging sound it came to a stop, clearly closed.

Demoonica's BishiGear announced the capture. "Hakudoushi of the Inuyasha anime. Stage San. Hakudoushi is Naraku's detachment, created while Naraku was undergoing his transformation into a 'true demon' at Mount Hakurei. He is the embodiment of Naraku's human heart. Of all of his incarnations, Naraku treasures Hakudoushi the most, as his life depends on Hakudoushi's well being. As a Chibi, they have the power to go into the darkness of people's hearts, using the host's abilities as their own. As a San, they also gain the power to read the minds of the dying. Many are know to carry death scythes and/or ride on the demon horse known as Entei. Do you wish to nickname Bishounen?"

"No nickname. Well, he didn't seem evil, just upset to me." Demoonica said as she pushed the button on the Bishiball and called Hakudoushi back out. "C'mon out Hakudoushi!"

The San stage Bishounen appeared in the middle of the path, his hand holding the wound on his shoulder. "What, checked your Dex and found out I wasn't good enough for you too?" He hissed at her through his pain.

Demoonica shook her head. "I guess that's what you were talking about when you said I was 'another trainer', but no, I don't use my Dex to see where your abilities are rated. I don't care. Here," She handed his scythe to Kagome, "hold this."

Demoonica scrolled through the Hoi Poi Capsules stored in her BishiGear, retrieving the one that held the medical supplies. From it she handed him a Hi-Potion. "Drink this." As he drank the liquid, she pulled the layers of his cloths back away from the arrow wound in his shoulder. She cleaned the wound, then watched as the potion did it's job of making it heal faster. Soon all that was left was a pink scar half the size of a dime. She looked up at him, noting that all of the bruises and cuts had healed with out leaving any marks behind. "There," She said, "how does that feel?"

"Itchy." He answered automatically. "Hey-"

Demoonica smiled. "Looks like the bond is kicking in already."

"The what?" Purple eyes looked at her in confusion.

"The Bishiball creates a connection between the trainer and the Bishi caught. I wouldn't recommend getting more than ten or so feet away from me for the rest of the day, while the bond settles in, ja?"

"Hm." He looked at her for a moment, then nodded.

Demoonica smiled. "Good. It's nice to meet you Hakudoushi, I'm Demoonica Darkmoon."

When they arrived at the city it was nearing noon, Kagome, Inuyasha, and Inu-chan (who was now going by Yasha) were headed to Kagome's family home first, then they would visit Inuyasha's family, before returning that evening to the Hotel and Demoonica.

"Are you sure you don't want to come with us?" Kagome asked once again. Demoonica let Inuyasha out of his ball, then Inu-chan, she also seemed to not be use to calling the now San staged black haired Inuyasha by 'Yasha'.

"Kagome-chan, you know that a trainer in the city makes the Bishi on edge. I'll just spend the time setting up the communication spheres and chatting up Hakudoushi." She pointed to the demon boy, who was checking out the reflection of his new scar in the nearest shop window.

"You know, you're right, he doesn't seem evil." Kagome rolled her eyes. "Next thing you know, we'll meet a Sesshoumaru who serves tea and scones." They laughed at that, then Kagome pulled her husband and son down the street.

"Oi! Hakudoushi!"

He jumped. "Uh?"

Demonica laughed. "Why don't you show me around, ja?"

A pause, then a nod.

"We'll start with the closest clothing shop, I can't have you running around in bloody clothes any longer than you have too."

Surprise. Hakudoushi hadn't even noticed the dark stain, or the arrow hole in his clothing. It hadn't seemed important. Now this dark haired trainer, his new trainer, was pointing it out. Suddenly her hand moved forward, holding out his scythe. "I'm going to trust that you don't use this, now that I've caught you. And don't even try getting into my head, I've built up an immunity to such tricks."

He took his scythe from her, a small frown on his face. Still he tried to find his way into her mind through the darkness in her heart, but found that he couldn't.

Surprise, again. This girl was full of those so it seemed. Again he nodded, unless he was yelling Hakudoushi felt words weren't often needed and this girl seemed to understand the meaning behind every small thing he did, words or not. "Fine."

The day passed quickly, Hakudoushi learning to read his trainer's movements while she wasn't watching him, then again she had stopped him from making a mistake on one of the 'things' he was helping her set up and at the time she had her back turned to him, maybe she had eyes in the back of her head. That wasn't odd for a demon, was that odd for a human? Hakudoushi pondered the question for a short time, never coming up with an answer. Perhaps he would ask, perhaps he would not. Heh.

As Demoonica headed back to the hotel at the end of the day, Hakudoushi found it odd to not be going home when his home was so nearby.

"Hey! What took you so long?" Kagome asked as Demoonica opened the door to her hotel room.

"Kagome-chan?"

"Hey, wench. Don't forget us!" Inuyasha complained. His dark haired son stood beside of him nodding, but it didn't last long as his still childish happiness overtook him and he rushed over to hug Demooinca.

"D-chan!"

Demoonica laughed and hugged the young San. "I'm happy you're back too, Yasha."

He looked up at her with a big smile, his black dog ears perking up. "Yasha! D-chan, you didn't call me Inu-chan!"

Demoonica couldn't help but pat the San staged Bishounen between his fuzzy ears. The difference between him and his father was like that between night and day. "I kept correcting myself all day, kiddo."

"Thank you. I'm too big to have 'chan' tacked onto my name!" His ears drooped. "Can you help mama stop calling me that?" He whispered to Demoonica, causing her to laugh again.

"I can try." She whispered back. "So Kagome, why are you back so soon? I half thought that I'd arrive to a note saying you were spending the night with one or the other of your families."

Kagome shrugged. "I don't know, Inu-chan spent most of the time playing with my younger brother and his video games. I guess it gave us more time to catch up with our families without all the interruptions."

"Ah, I see." She looked back to Hakudoushi, she hadn't introduced him to anyone yet. "Yasha, this is Hakudoushi." She said as she pushed the white haired, purple eyed San staged demon toward Yasha. "He's not much older than you and he's my newest Bishi, could you help him settle in?" She'd have to work on getting Kagome to see her son as a responsible teen, so what better way than to put him in charge of befriending the too quiet Hakudoushi.

Yasha smiled. "Hi!" And there was his happy childishness again. "Mama's little brother gave me a game, you gotta play it!" He grabbed Hakudoushi, pulling him over to the TV and the game system hooked up to it and began to explain how it worked to the other young demon boy. Yasha didn't have the same problem with modern technologies that most Inuyasha's had, one of the many differences Demoonica was beginning to see.

CHAPTER 2: ALLEN

o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o

Demoonica was up bright and early the next morning, though not by choice. "Demoonica! C'mon! It's day already and I'm not staying locked up in this hotel until noon!" Kagome shook Demoonica by the shoulder again.

"Hn, it's too early, mum." Demoonica mumbled and pulled the cover up over her head.

Kagome looked at the lump on the bed for a moment, then grabbed the covers and yanked them off of the half asleep teen.

"Hey..." Demoonica felt around for her cover, then sat up. She looked up at Kagome, but without her glasses the Bishoujo looked like a big blur. She took her glasses from the bed side table and put them on. "Kagome, why are you waking me so early?"

Kagome rolled her eyes. "Well there is the fact that you told me last night to wake you up at seven in the morning."

"I must have been suffering from some brain melting 24-hour virus to have told you something like that." Demoonica let out a large yawn. "I'm over it now. Let me sleep."

"I can't believe you're seventeen." Kagome mumbled as she walked into the hotel bathroom. She closed the door, calling out, "I'm getting a shower, when I'm done, you'd better be up and ready to get your own!"

"Yeah. Yeah." Demoonica blinked at the closed door, then looked over at her BishiBelt. It was laying on the love-seat. It, the belt, was one-third of the way full. "I'm already a bit behind on the plan to catch one Bishi for every month I'm here." Demoonica said to herself. "Everything keeps popping up, and I just want to have some fun here. Of course, those plans didn't included you, huh?" She said as she placed her hand on her flat abdomen. Suddenly she frowned. "Man, I wish I had told Zander about this, you, before those two pulled him off to their world." One side of her mouth twitched up for a second. "Well, I guess you'll be a big 'welcome back' surprise."

She heard the shower water being turned off and guessed she should do as Kagome said. She slid out of bed and pulled her BishiGear out of the top of her backpack. She scrolled through the Hoi Poi capsules and materialized the one that held her clothes, looking at them she realized she'd have to start getting larger outfits. By the end of summer she wouldn't be able to hide the fact that she was pregnant, but she wasn't planing on having to hide it for very much longer. Of course right now only two of her Bishi knew. Bakura had been there when she found out and she'd told Kagome as she knew the Bishoujo would be of help.

She finished picking out an outfit. It was a short one piece white dress with red edging, the split on both sides came clear up to her waist so she took out a pair of black spandex bike shorts to wear with it. She was almost certain that the shorts were Heero's. Oh well, she didn't think he'd mind.

"Oh, you actually got up." Kagome said as she came out of the bathroom. She was still towel drying her hair.

"Yeah." Demoonica tilted her head to the side. "Man, I don't like mornings."

o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o

Elsewhere, that same moring...

Zidane had just arrived on the strange world.

"Where did that e-mail link take me?" He wondered out-loud.

"Oh you're a bright one." Came a voice from above him. Looking up Zidane saw the video game character that was his namesake, a Zidane from Final Fantasy IX. The blond Bishounen was sitting on the tree branch right above Zidanes' head. "Hello! BishiWorld ring a bell?"

It was then that Zidane remembered all that had happened. He had been home, alone and bored. Checking his e-mail only to find junk and a single message that both the sender and the title were blank. Curious he had clicked it to find what looked to be a link to a Pokemon-like RPG site. He had clicked it, the computer screen had swirled in a rainbow of color, he had found himself unable to move, and finally Zidane had woken to find himself outside in a forest he didn't know.

"You mean that it was real? Not some kind of game?" The words had barely left his mouth when Zidane promptly past back out.

o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o

Soon they were out of the hotel and Demoonica looked around the street of the Inuyasha area Bishi City. "Well, what do you think, Kagome?"

"You finished setting up the communication spheres yesterday before going back to the hotel, right?"

"Right."

"Then we can go where ever you want."

Demoonica pulled free a BishiBall, letting out Hakudoushi. "Ano, Hakudoushi, where were you headed yesterday?"

The pale lavender haired Bishounen looked at her for a moment. "Away."

"Ah." Demoonica looked back at him. "You're going to have to say more than that, it may seem like it at times, but I really can't read minds."

The boy took a quiet breath. "I was just getting away from town." He shifted his scythe from one shoulder to the other.

"Alright, then we're leaving the city. C'mon." Demoonica adjusted her backpack and headed down the street. Kagome followed swiftly after her, giving a half turn to look back at Hakudoushi.

"Hakudoushi!" She called out, waving to him. "Don't fall behind."

o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o

She left the Inuyasha areas a few days later and crossed the next areas in short order thanks to her following the map on her BishiGear.

"We have traveled far from the areas you normally traverse." Allen said as he followed Demoonica through the short grass of a large field. For some reason he felt as though he should recognize where they were. It wasn't until they made it to the top of the hill and he was met with a familiar sight did he understand why. "M'lady!" He said in awe. "This is my home!"

Demoonica smiled and nodded. "Well of course it's your home, Allen, I headed this way as soon as we left the Inuyasha area. Isn't there family you want to see?"

"Well, you see." Allen looked slightly upset. "After my mother had a second child, a girl, my father was... worried that my sister would evolve the wrong way."

"The wrong way?" Demoonica asked, confused.

"You see, my mother is a Celena Schezar," then he added quickly, "of no relation to my father."

"Oh!" Demoonica said in realization. "Your father is worried that your little sister will go all "fate alteration" on you all and turn into a Dilandau"
Allen nodded.

"Well, I wouldn't worry about that happening."

"Uh, M'lady." Allen said softly. "My father's worst fears came to pass and Celena did change into a Dilandau upon her evolution from Chibi into a San."

"OH." Demoonica looked down for a moment, then back up at Allen. "So you left home?"

Again Allen nodded. "Celena went from loving sister to trying to burn me to death in my bed at night. A violent reaction, even for those, those..." He waved his hand, as if motioning at a person, though there was no one there.

"I see. Do you want me to call off this visit, then?"

Allen looked down at the large sprawling city. It was still a few miles away and they could go around, if they changed the direction of their path now. "I would."

"Alright." Demoonica brought up the map of the area on her BishGear. Finding the next path that went around the Escaflowne city, she marked it as their turn-off.
