Sakura P.O.V

We were fighting against Iris who suddenly went berserk, or well we're only using self-defense against her attacks. We tried to talking to her, but our words aren't reaching her at all

'She said something about how she doesn't want to be sealed away... ' I looked at the lantern and I was suddenly hit with a realization

"Nezha! Everyone! I think I know why Iris went berserk" I said and everyone turned to look at me "I think after seeing the lantern and heard what's it for I think she got suddenly scared knowing what the lantern is for"

"I see... " Nezha looked down with a look of guilt

"So Iris is having a meltdown over that stupid lantern?!" Huli shouted as he glared at Nezha

"It's not his fault! We need to figure out how to calm Iris down or else we're done for" I said as we continue fighting

Then Iris lunges towards us and we all managed to dodge her attack

"Iris! Snap out of it!" Huli shouted, but she didn't respond. She let out a loud howl that sent us flying

'There has to be a way to save her, but how?' I thought to myself as I stood up, and suddenly the flower that master Subodhi gave me started to glow in front of me

'I know what I must do' I closed my eyes and started say a incantation

"Chi-yo-ta
Ni-ke-ra-ha-to
Ho-ra-su-te
No-ha-te-ki
Ra-to-na-ri-ha-shi-te-to" Once I finished the incantation, the flower glowed brighter and I noticed a figure to take form. Once the light dimmed down, I couldn't believe my eyes on who I saw "Kyubi..."

(Imagine his pink colors is there)

"Hello, milady. We meet again" Kyubi said with a kind smile

"Are you... Are you really here?" I asked as I carefully touched his arm, and he chuckled

"I'm indeed real" Kyubi said and he turned to look at Iris "What happened to her?"

"Iris has berserk after she saw the lantern. So now we're trying to think of a way to calm her down" I said

"I see... We must enter her mind" Kyubi said

"But how?" I asked and Kyubi whispered into my ear

No One P.O.V

As everyone tried to stop the berserk Iris, everyone heard singing

"La La La~ La La La~

Gales of song, guide me through the storm"

Everyone looked in the direction of the source and saw Sakura, and they were also surprised to see Kyubi with her

"On the wings of a small, simple melody

Words take flight and soar, they carry me

A world will see

Looking for a farewell

I pull the threads

A life without you I cannot accept

I can't tell that lie

I can't let go

But now that you're gone, I have to move on

Seems like everyone

Just smile staring at the sun

But what about me?

Tell me how I will know

Where should I go?

Oh gales, you sing and guide me!"

Then Sakura form changed once again and everyone were in awe of her form

"I walk alone

There's more to life I have to know

It's just me, lost so far, away from home, alone I shut myself in

Still the winds howl, they call

And their voices lead me

Gales of song, guide me through the storm

Let the melody lift me high, I'll be me

Gales of song, please stay by my side

Winds of love, breathe into my life"

After Sakura finished singing, the berserk form of Iris has started to calm down, and Sakura towards her

"Iris... Please, let me enter your mind" Sakura said as she pressed her forehead against Iris's forehead, and thing she knew, Sakura was inside vast of Iris's mind

"Shall we move forward, milady?" Kyubi asked and Sakura nodded as they started moving forward. As they walked, they heard whispers echoes through the vast of the mind

"Why were you born?! Because of you, my wife's illness got worse! You're nothing but a curse!!"

"No one will never love or care about you!"

"Die! Die! Die!"

"Everything is your fault, you cursed child!"

"This is horrible... I have no idea Iris suffered so much" Sakura said

"I know. The only one that cared for her were her mother and older brother" Kyubi said

"Older brother? I didn't know Iris had an older brother" Sakura said

"Her older brother took care of her while their mother was bedridden for a long time before her death. Then her father tried getting rid of Iris when she was only a baby, but her brother managed to protect her until her 5th birthday" Kyubi said

"What do you mean?"

"Their father killed his own son" Kyubi said, shocking Sakura "With the older brother out of the way, he was able to get rid of Iris. But it wasn't long until the some loan shark people came for him due to him borrowing money, and payed the price with his life"

"Kyubi, how do know this?" Sakura asked

"That's because I'm her older brother" Kyubi said, and Sakura looked surprised "Once father killed me, he was free to sell off my sister, but it wasn't enough to pay back his debt, so I hold no pity on that man" Kyubi's fist tightened

As the duo continued walking, they finally reached their destination. In front of them was Iris chained down with her head down

"Iris!" Sakura ran towards Iris

"Sakura...?" Iris looked up with a tired look "I heard you singing"

"Are you okay?" Sakura asked

"I... I... I'm tired... So tired... Why must I be suffer such great misfortune? What did I do to deserve this...?" Iris asked as her head went down

"You did nothing wrong, it was your father's fault for being selfish and greedy" Kyubi said

"But..."

"No, Kyubi is right. None of this is your fault. Please, stop blaming yourself for something that isn't your fault and come back to us" Sakura said

"....Even if you say that, I hardly doubt anyone would accept me due to my misfortune and having no family" Iris said

"That's not completely true" Kyubi said as he approaches Iris and kneels in front of her "You see, Iris, I'm your only living family you have"

"What...?" Iris looked up

"I apologize for leaving you all alone for so long, but I couldn't exactly leave the underworld after I died" Kyubi said and Iris looked at him with teary eyes

"Are you really brother?" Iris asked, and Kyubi nodded "I won't be alone anymore...?"

"You were never alone. You have friends" Kyubi said as he softly smiles at her "And now, you have me" Then he hugged Iris, and she started crying. The chains that's holding Iris broke and the darkness started to turn very bright, surrounded the trio in the bright light

Outside of the mind

Iris's berserk form started to disappear, once her berserk form was gone, Iris leaning against Sakura, and Huli wasted no time heading towards her to check on her

"She'll be alright. She's exhausted, but she will recover" Kyubi said

"Thank goodness. But who the heck are you?" Huli asked

"Kyubi!!" MK and Mei cried as they tackled him into a hug

"We thought you were gone forever!" Mei cried

"B-But how are you even here? Cherry blossom and I witnessed your soul combining with hers" Red Son said

"Guess I didn't fully explain it, did I? I returned the power that once belonged to Konohana, the power she used to create me with the help of the Jade Emperor" Kyubi said

"Alright, now that we got Iris to calm down, let's head inside to discuss of a plan on defeating Azure Lion, Peng and Yellowtusk" Wukong said and everyone agreed

Huli carried the unconscious Iris inside Wukong's house with his coat covering her

"It's really nice to have you back, Kyubi" Sakura said

"It's nice to be back" Kyubi said

"Sakura! I love the new outfit!" Mei said as she took the picture of Sakura's new outfit

"Y-Yeah! You look very beautiful!" MK said as his cheeks turned red

"I expect nothing less from my fiancé" Red Son said

"Again, she's not your fiancé!" MK shouted, and they both glared at each other with high intensity

"Will you both knock it off!" Sakura shouted and Kyubi chuckled

"Some things never change"

In the Celestial Realm

Yellowtusk was going through some papers that belonged to the former Jade Emperor, while looking, he found a written paperwork

"Is this... A will?" Yellowtusk picked the paper and started reading the contents, and looked surprised at what he read "I don't believe it..."
