Liu Liao sadly but nodded “I’m Sorry” she said to the Lieutenant.  “Its understandable general…also General Cao Ren is here to see you…lord Cao cao is missing as well.” The man said getting himself together. “Right, thank you Lieutenant” Mulan said before rushing out of the house, Liu Liao following closely behind her.

Tomoe Sat upon her horse holding the reigns tightly as it was very uneasy and distressed, all the horses had been this way ever since the storm ended. “Lord Nobunaga, Ranmaru and I shall Patrol the Lands…it’s far too strange that everything’s so clear after such a storm, we’ll report back with any news we find” She said. Lord Nobunaga nodded “very well” he said with little interest as the two rode off. “Maybe it was just a normal storm Lady Tomoe” Ranmaru said as the castle got father away. “Maybe, but something isn’t settling right with me…many of our allies and foes have come up missing, that’s not normal is it mori?” Tomoe asked. Ranmaru shook his head “no I guess not…what do you thinks happened?” He asked. Tomoe shook her head and urged her horse to ride faster “I wish I knew” she muttered. Tomoe and Ranmaru ran for hours, the land seemed deserted. The two halted their horses by a river to rest. “I’m embarrassed to say I’ve no clue which way we are headed…the land doesn’t look the same anymore” Tomoe sighed. Ranmaru cupped his hands and drank water from the river “dont be Lady Tomoe…strange things are happening I wouldn’t doubt that the lands not the same lands at all” He said standing up. The surrounding bushes begain to russle , Ranmaru drew out his Odachi and stood in front of Tomoe protectively, ready to strike.  Ranmaru held his breath as he waited. “hey call of your runt will ya, before I have to hurt him” An amused voice stated. A man with wild blonde hair that fell to his knees huge in stature stepped through the bushes. “Runt?” Ranmaru muttered slightly offended. Tomoe smiled and sighed in relief. “Keiji” she said in a warm greeting. “Hey there little Tomoe, I don’t think I’ve ever been so happy to see you” Keiji said chuckling his laughter was short lived as be became half way serious. “Something strange is going on” He added. Ranmaru sheathed his Odachi “yes we know, the lands not the same and officers have gone missing” He chimed in. Keiji nodded “yeah but that’s not all, strange warriors have been seen roaming the lands, I don’t know who they are, but I’ve never seen ‘em around before” Keiji said. Tomoe tiled her head “strange…warriors huh” she said her mind drifting off into her own thoughts. Keiji nodded. “I’ve heard talk of Demons as well, presents and villagers have said they’ve seen demon girl traveling the land, they’re frightened of her, others say there’s a dog demon traveling the lands and a spider demon too” Keiji continued. “D-dog demon?” Tomoe stammered her eyes were wide and her posture ridged. “does it mean anything to you Lady Tomoe?” Ranmaru asked timidly, however Tomoe had zoned out. A vision of a man with thick white hair and bright amber eyes came to her mind, he had the ears of an animal and beside him another man he too had flowing white hair and amber eyes but he looked regal like a lord. “Lady Tomoe” Ranmaru called louder resting his hand on her shoulder. Tomoe came back to reality and looked down at the boy dazed. “Forgive me…” she said simply. “We should travel towards the area’s these stories are coming from and see if we can get any information.” Tomoe said. “Or see if they are true” She added. “Right then we can report back to Lord Nobunaga” Ranmaru said in agreement “you still tied down to him?” Keiji asked Tomoe as she mounted her horse. “Aren’t you?” she asked before letting him mount her horse in front of her, before they took off riding yet again.

Kagome stood outside of her hut with Sango, wide eyed and speechless, her hut was the same but the village in which it was in was not. “I don’t understand it’s like we were picked up and dropped off in a whole new town” Kagome said “and I thought I was feeling like Dorothy when I fell down the well…” she muttered. Sango nodded her head still in far too much shock to fathom just what was going on. Shippo walked out of the hut, sango’s hirakotsu slung over his back. “We might as well go take a look” he said before walking down the road. Kagome and sango followed behind him. As they travel down the road all they came across where unsettled villagers, none of whom looked familiar to Kagome, Sango, or shippo. Up ahead lay an Castle. “we must be in Castle town” Shippo said. Kagome shook her head “no it looks that way but that’s not the same castle” She said. “your right kagome, so then where are we?” Sango said absently rubbing her stomach. “I don’t know but I bet whoever the lord is of that castle will know” Kagome said.
