[episode 20]

~at Ms. Tokimo’s castle~

(Alex and Kagura walk through the main doors and see a large number of people lined up)

Alex to the man he was following- So what’s the deal here?

Vassal- Ms. Tokimo is looking for someone special.
Alex- Oh really? Did she say exactly what she was looking for?

Vassal- No she just told us to gather anybody that looked suspicious.

(the vassal walks up the main room that overlooked the courtyard everybody was in and began to talk to Ms. Tokimo)

Kagura- I wonder what they’re talking about.
(the man points at Kagura and Alex and Ms. Tokimo looks surprised)

Alex- And what was all that about?

(the man walk up to Alex and Kagura and tells them to go to Ms. Tokimo) (Alex and Kagura begin to walk toward Tokimo)

Vassal- Men Ms. Tokimo has found who she is looking for dispose of these useless vermin as commanded by Ms. Tokimo!

Alex- WHAT?! Hold on a second you cant kill all of these people!

(the men start to approach a group of men and women) (one of the vassals is about to strike one of the men but is knocked out by Sango)

Alex- Sango is here? Why?

Kagura- So what do we help her or not?

Alex- You stay here I’ll be finished in a minute. (Alex runs for Sango but is intercepted by a group of vassals of Tokimo)
vassal 1- We were instructed not to kill you but if you interfere we will.

Alex- Tch guess you can always try! (Alex jumps into the group of men and starts to fight them barehanded) (after Alex knocks the men unconscious he runs to help Sango)
(Miroku is struggling to get free in a group of men and Alex comes running up to him)

Alex- Need some help there dude? (Alex cuts the ropes Miroku’s arms are bound by)

Miroku- Glad you could make it. Why are you here?

Alex- Good question, I thought you guys where in Sango’s village so why are ya’ll here?

Miroku- No time to explain that.

(Another group of men come running after Alex)

Alex- You take care of these idiots I’ll go help Sango.
~With Kagura~

(Ms. Tokimo walks up holding a baby)

Tokimo- Your friend there is a very skilled fighter.

Kagura- Your point is?

Tokimo- He is more useful than I expected.

Kagura- What’s with the kid?

Tokimo- ….I have a feeling it isn’t enough…

Kagura- Huh? (A man grabs Kagura from behind)

Kagura- What the hell?!

Tokimo- I cant lure that man to where I want unless he has more incentive.
Kagura- I’m tired of being used a bait! (Kagura slides her fan down into her right hand and starts a tornado around her and the man that has hold of her) (The wind picks up enough to throw the man off Kagura) (Kagura stops the tornado and straightens her cloths with a pull)

Kagura- Why do you want Alex Tokimo?

Tokimo- I have already told you he is valuable because he is strong and extremely skilled.

Kagura- Is that the only reason? Is it child of Naraku?

(Tokimo laughs)

Tokimo- So he told you eh? Yes I am the child of Naraku. Tokimo is just my speaker and carrier.
Kagura- So the kid was the one who was doing all the planning and talking all this time.
(Tokimo turns the kid to where he is able to see Kagura)

Child of Naraku- That is correct.

Kagura- Alex told me about you and how you were made at Mount Hakaraizon.

Child of Naraku- That is the other reason he is valuable to me, because he knows what is going to happen before it does. He is a threat to Naraku.
Kagura- So you were going to take him to Naraku and let him kill him?

Child of Naraku- Yes.

Kagura- (smiles a bit) Hasn’t Naraku learned yet that Alex wont die so easily?

Child of Naraku- Actually Naraku was going to have Alex’s old friend DJ destroy him. (smiles maliciously)

Kagura- You people sicken me. (Kagura does dance of the dragon at Tokimo and the Child of Naraku)
(Child of Naraku puts up a barrier and the dance of blades has no effect on him)

~with Alex while this is happening~

(Alex runs up beside Sango)

Alex- How’s it going? (Alex punches the guy who is charging at Sango with a bo)

Sango- Hi yourself. (Sango throws Hirakotsu and hit’s a man who is charging Alex from the side)

Alex- Heh looks like some of these fools realize what they’re up against. (Alex and Sango see some of the men hesitating to attack them)
Sango- They came and picked me and Miroku up as we were heading towards my home village. What do they want?

Alex- Don’t know exactly. (Stands up straight and unsheathes Inazuma Ryu and puts it over his shoulder) Alright guys get lost or it’s gonna get ugly, I aint got time for you.
(the men don’t move and ready their weapons)
Alex- (sigh) Do you really want a piece of this? (Alex has the dragon take its usual whip form and breaks the nearest vassals sword)

Alex- Reconsider what you’re about to do.
(the men start to retreat)

Alex- Finally. (Alex turns to Sango)
Sango- Well that was easy. Why are you and Kagura here?

Alex- Same reason why you are here I guess. I’d love to stay and chat Sango but it looks like Kagura may need my help, I’ll catch up with you and the others later. (Alex starts to walk toward Kagura)

Sango- Hey hang on a second. Are you sure you don’t need any help?

Alex- Nah you guys just go what yall were gonna do. See ya. (Alex starts to run toward Kagura)

~with Kagura and the Child of Naraku~

Kagura- You people sicken me. (Kagura does dance of the dragon at Tokimo and the Child of Naraku)
(Child of Naraku puts up a barrier and the dance of blades has no effect on him)

(Alex walks up beside Kagura)

Child of Naraku- It seems that the other 2 are out of reach.

Alex- What “other 2” are you talking about?

Child of Naraku- Inuyasha and that girl that can see the Shards of the Shikon no Tama.

Alex- Why do you want us all here?

Child of Naraku- Simple I wish to have you all killed.

Alex- You tell Naraku if he wants to kill us that he is gonna have to do the work himself cause I’m tired of messing with his detachments, the only detachment that matters is Kagura, got that? (Alex unsheathes Inazuma Ryu and points it at the Child of Naraku)

Child of Naraku- My, we are but you are in a hurry to die aren’t you.
Alex- Spare me kid. (Alex jumps into the air a takes a downward swing at Tokimo and the Child of Naraku) (The Child of Naraku puts up another barrier and Alex hits it and is thrown back) (Alex gets up)

Child of Naraku- It’s useless, you’ll never touch me.
(Child of Naraku puts a separate barrier around Kagura)
Kagura- What’s the meaning of this?
(Kagura tries to get out of the barrier but it is useless)

Alex- Let her out now before I get pissed.

Child of Naraku- I’ll let her out when you bring me that girl that can see the jewel shards.

(the Child of Naraku, Tokimo, and Kagura start to float upward)

Alex- Hey get back here! Where are you going?! Get back here!! (the 2 barriers disappear with Kagura and the Child of Naraku)

Alex- Damn it! (Alex turns around and starts to run out of the castle)

Sango- Alex where are you going?!
Alex- (Looks back at Sango) To get Kagura back! (Alex continues to run and Sango and Miroku follow him)

~with Alex, Sango, and Miroku on a path~

(Alex is running along side Kirara who is carrying Miroku and Sango)

Miroku- That kid took Kagura, but to where?

Alex- I’m not really sure but if he hurts her I’ll personally kill that kid.

Sango- How are we supposed to find them?

Alex- The only way to find them is to use Kagome, I gave Kagura a special device that lets me track her just in case she got lost in the valley of lost souls we were going to go to later, she never gave it back so I can use that to see where she is. (Alex pulls out a small 2 inch box that has different reading on it and he looks at the readings)

Alex- Damn how’d they get that far west in such a short amount of time?
Sango- Where are they?
Alex- 5 miles west, we have to hurry before I lose the signal. I’ll never catch up at this rate.

~with Kagome and Inuyasha in Kagome’s world~

Kagome- Hey Inuyasha….

Inuyasha- Yeah?

Kagome- You think Kagura likes Alex?

Inuyasha- I don’t know but Alex is more than willing to give his life for her. Something is deeper than him having a crush on her.

Kagome- Yeah I figured that much. You think everybody is ok back through the well?

Inuyasha- (shrugs) No idea, why are you worried about them?

Kagome- No everybody can take care of themselves.

~with Alex who is half a mile from Kagura~

Alex- Almost there, she’s in somewhere on this mountain.

Sango- Alex look. (Sango points to a hut that is suspended over a cliff)

Alex- I bet Kagura is there. She better be ok too. (Alex walks up to the cliff and starts to climb)
(the cliff is about 20 feet tall)

(Alex reaches the top and approaches the door)

Sango- Wait! Don’t touch the door, it might be a trap.
Alex- No way, the signal is coming from behind that door. (Alex starts to open the door but stops because he hears a strange noise)
Alex- Holy crap! C4! (Alex closes the door and the C4 explodes and pushes the door against Alex and he flies back about 30 feet) (the door lands on top of Alex) (Alex pushes the door off of him and gets up)
(Sango and Miroku come flying up to him on Kirara)

Sango- Are you ok?!

Alex- Ugh…I’ve been better….I bet DJ has something to do with this, that’s the only way C4 would have gotten here.

Sango- So Kagura wasn’t in there?

Alex- No I bet somebody planted that device I gave her in there to lure me there.

Miroku- Well they cant be far.

Alex- Yeah, that’s them right there. (points to towards a group of people coming towards them) ((the group consists of A boy holding a spear, Tokimo, Child of Naraku, and Kagura who is still imprisoned in the barrier))

Boy- What a shame DJ said you should have died from that explosion.
Alex- (clinches a fist) Rrrrrr Hakadoushi.

Sango- Hakadoushi?

Boy- Yes I am Hakadoushi the latest detachment of Naraku.
Alex- Kagura are you ok?
Kagura- I’m fine just do me a favor kill of that kid, I wanna get out of this barrier.

Alex- Let her go Hakadoushi, NOW! (Alex puts his hand on Inazuma Ryu)

Hakadoushi- Why do you chase after this woman so much?

Alex- Who wants to know?
Hakadoushi- Naraku and I do.

Alex- That’s none of your business.
Hakadoushi- Not good enough. (Lightening starts to surge through the barrier Kagura is in and she is shocked)

Alex- Hakadoushit! STOP NOW! (Alex jumps up and unsheathes his sword and comes down with a stab at Hakadoushi) (Hakadoushi puts up a barrier)
Alex- That wont help you this time! (Alex breaks through the barrier and cuts Hakadoushi’s left arm as Hakadoushi dodges backwards)

Alex- Now let her go before I kill you.
Hakadoushi- No I wont let her go until you die! (Hakadoushi dashes at Alex with his spear out in front of him) (Alex dodges to the side and stabs Hakadoushi through the side and Hakadoushi falls to the ground)

Sango- Did he win?

Miroku- Nope. Look. (Hakadoushi starts gets up)

Hakadoushi- For a big guy you are fast.
Alex- And for such a shrimp you’re pretty resilient. Now let Kagura go she hasn’t done anything to you.

(Kanna and DJ appear behind Hakadoushi)

Hakadoushi- I’m not letting her go until I see you dead.
DJ- Hakadoushi let Kagura go.

(Hakadoushi turns around to see DJ ad Kanna)

Hakadoushi- Why?
DJ- Don’t question me just do it.
Hakadoushi- No.
(DJ punches Hakadoushi in the face)

DJ- Do it! Or would you rather take this up with Naraku?

Hakadoushi- Fine. (Hakadoushi snaps his fingers and the barrier around Kagura disappears)

DJ- There Alex you got what you want. You owe me one. We’re leaving Hakadoushi. (DJ turns around)
Alex- Hold it DJ. (DJ turns back around)

DJ- What?
Alex- What do you mean I owe you one?

DJ- I had a hard time persuading Naraku to let me give Kagura back to you.

Alex- Why did you do it?

DJ- Lets just say you would have done the same for me if you were in my case.

Alex- One last thing.
DJ- What now? Naraku’s already pissed at me make it quick.

Alex- Where did the C4 come from?

DJ- You should figure that out on your own. I have to get back to “Master of the Puppets”.

Alex- Huh? Why’d you say it like that?

(DJ, Kanna, Hakadoushi, and Child of Naraku disappear)

Kagura- What was all that about?

Alex- I’m not sure exactly.

Sango- We should head back soon.

Alex- You’re right lets head back to the Kaede’s place.
