Welcome to Gaia! ::

" Atlas isn't on your mother's king list. I checked that list twice and i didn't see his name on it. The list stops after Jed.There was a duel tournament in town hence why he was in this galaxy." He said then he got serious" I won't go into detail about the crimes that your grandfather has committed. I'm sure your parents have already told you about it. But It was wrong and highly dangerous of you to seek him out. He could have turned on you and you would have ended up like most of his victims. He could have also destroyed the very thing you were trying to protect. The banished one is very unstable and highly dangerous. For you punishment, you will undergo a special type of training that only your mother has lasted through."

Teddy walked into Joe's apartment, looking around her at the people and construction. "Wow, lotsa stuff going on here, huh?" She said, mainly to herself but if anyone was in range of hearing it would be okay for them to answer. "Hmm... what to do, what to do..." She said to herself, walking around in the place with her hood down.

Iori smirked "I'll think about it. Though what i have in store for you won't be easy." He then headed down to the lab to prepare for the training. He was going to show Corrigan just how bad his action would effect those around him.

Teddy turned to Dee and smiled. "Sure, no problem." She said, picking up some of the trash from the floor. After she had about as much as she could carry, she brought it over to the trash bin and dumped it. Then she started the process over again, doing this about 3 times total before it was all clean.

"This is...diff...rent," were Corrigan's last words before he fell asleep. During the entire time he was asleep, which was being viewed by Sasuke and Yumi along the darkened stone wall, it showed the horrors of what might have happened if things had gone without interference.

First, it showed Yumi being horrifically raped by Jonathan. A scene that cannot be detailed on this site it was that bad. Then, as Yumi had taken her last breath in the vision, Jonathan's next target was all of the kings in Joe's apartment suite. He didn't attack Terry or Dee because he was saving something extra special for them. As for what happened to Corrigan, he was slaughtered by Sasuke and Itachi which Jonathan had turned their own sharingan against them. Sasuke and Itachi were in a heap over top of Corrigan.

Sasuke had to look away. This was nasty! The ninja was beginning to understand how most students including Naruto could hate Iori. Yumi, however looked on, unafraid, but learning.

The final scene was how Jon dealt with Terry and Dee, and it was just as nasty as the previous scenes. When Corrigan came to, and out of Yagami's spell, Corrigan understood just how wrong he was.

Corrigan noticed Sasuke looking the other direction and asked, "Sasuke, why did you look away? I think this was a lesson intended for all of us. I know, it was really, really bad, and I am super grateful that you stopped Jonathan before he could do anything."

Sasuke shuddered, "Kid...you...you...you are the bravest individual I have ever met. How could you have viewed all of that and not be sick to your stomach about this?"

Corrigan giggled, "Because...I emptied the contents of my gut earlier in the bushes, remember?"

Iori smirked. Then he said, "Now, I have something else for you to conclude this lesson. This is the alternative if you would have thought things through."

Corrigan said, "Um, Professor, is it okay if I go pee first? That vision made my bladder go all full."

Iori pointed in the direction of the bathroom and let the young Bogard do his business.

Nodding, Sasuke replied, "Makes sense."

Corrigan returned and drank the elixir. Now awaiting to see the positives, Corrigan looked forward to this.

The initial scene showed Corrigan wanting to summon the forbidden one while talking with Atlas and Lily. But Atlas said to Corrigan, "Hol' up a minute, mate. While we all wanna see 'ur mom and dad get the justice they deserve, there is a better way."

"Really?" asked Corrigan both in the waking and sleeping realms.

Jack nodded, "Indeed there is. Why not take this opportunity to fix this place up? Like, improve it so much that even with your mom's renovation we still get more customers."

Corrigan liked Atlas's idea and between the three of them, they spent hours working on each room, then, by the time Iori had been dismissed and had been returned home, Iori could not help but let out a low whistle. "I must say, Corrigan, "He said, "I am impressed. Instead of using this opportunity for sabotage, you did the right thing and even improved this place. I do like what you did. Its looking even more like an authentic haunted medieval steakhouse."

Sasuke was no slouch when it came to hidden meanings and this was no different. "There has to be more to it than just favortism. It is almost as if Iori too is just like this castle, haunted, spooky, not to be messed with. I won't deny that he teaches the dark arts well, but you have to wonder why. Why would he immerse himself in something like this?"

Iori smirked then said, "Like your family, mine has clan history. You were destined to face off against your older brother and kill him eventually just like I am destined to kill the Kusanagi clan. We cannot fight against it, its in our blood. In order for me to be able to kill Kyo who represents the sun, I have to become like the moon. A glowing entity that will lead those who prefer to walk in the dark rather than the day. Kyo is just the opposite and yet, he doesn't fully grasp the concept of his family. In order for him to beat me, he is going to have to really believe that he is like the sun. The ironic thing here is you cannot have darkness without the light, so I might never be able to accomplish my goal. So, for now, I teach those to walk in the dark as much as they walk in the light to have a balance. Most students hate me because they are not strong enough to handle their own nightmares. Dee was the only one so far to understand what my course was about and she embraced it. Yet, I sense that the half of her that has to remain on earth has slipped considerably and might never recover from such a fall."

Now Sasuke was lost. He asked, "What do you mean, other half?"

Iori sighed, "You haven't passed history, have you? Renaissance History. A long time ago, just about 31 earth years to be precise, Dee had come to this world in her physical form thanks to my deceased older sister's dark magic. Dee was but a mere child then. The tender age of 4, as she brags about herself. But then...that same day, during the freight line's delivery for Hamster City goods, my sister was murdered by the freight train and thanks to Terry Bogard and his skills, Dee's physical form had been separated from her anime one. The anime form of her is what we see all the time. Dee hopes that one day her anime and physical form will be united once again, but unless I perfect the spell that my sister casted all those years ago, that will never come to pass. My family owes her big time for what had transpired. And since I am the only Yagami to have known of such a tragedy, it is up to me to regain my family's honor."

Sasuke understood completely. Then he asked, "Was your sister a mental case?"

Iori laughed, "I haven't the foggiest on that, but the way she immersed herself too far, you just might be right. Then again, all of my family prior to me was like her. I guess I am the one who is the mental case since I am not like them. All Yagami's are supposed to turn evil, but...I don't desire to go that far. If Yumi here is a true Yagami, she will turn darker still and nobody will be safe from her, not even you Sasuke."

Turning away for a moment, Iori then added, "While I am going to allow you to be with Yumi, just heed my warning that there is a strong chance that she will have to be killed like my sister if she decides to follow the true path of a Yagami. I trust that you will prevent this from happening."
