"Hiraikotsu!" Sango yelled again as she hurled her boomerang at a the 7 foot tall, goat legged, horned oni. It had the head of a goat, the legs of a goat, but the torso and arms were that of a man. The boomerang flew at it and hit and seemed to just bounce off, the oni grunted in discomfort from the hit. In response it flung a ball of red plasma at her.

"Sango!" InuYasha yelled as raced over, grabbed her, and jumped out of the way of the plasma throw. "Kagome, where's the Jewel Shard located on it?"

Kagome focused on the oni for a minute as she ran. Then looked surprised. "It doesn't have one! I can't sense one on it!"

"What? We came all the way out here for nothing!" InuYasha then shouted.

"Then how come its so powerful?" Miroku then asked as he threw some ofudas at it. To his utter bewilderment, the ofudas dissolved when they approached the creature. "My spiritual powers won't work on it!"

"Let me try mine!" Kagome shouted as she nocked an arrow and let fly toward the oni. Surprisingly, she was right on target and hit the oni square in the back with the glowing arrow. The oni let out a bloodcurdling roar as it reached back and yanked the arrow out, leaving a blackened spot in its back. It's hand was burned too from grabbing the arrow.

"Damnit! This bastard just won't die! Kaze no Kizu!" InuYasha yelled as he slammed Tetsusaiga into the ground, unleashing the Wound of the Wind at the oni. His aim was true and the attack hit home. The oni again roared as it entered its death throes. Miroku was preparing to unleash the Wind Tunnel when it suddenly dissolved into a blood red liquid and sank into the ground.

"What, where'd it go?" Shippo asked from his safe spot in a nearby tree.

"Who cares? At least the damn thing's dead." InuYasha said as he sheathed Tetsusaiga.

"I've never seen a demon die like that before." Sango then said, confused. Miroku put a hand to his chin and walked up to where the creature had died, now a small bare spot in the grass.

"Whoa! Get away!" Miroku shouted to no one in particular as he jumped back from the spot, panting.

"What is it Miroku?" Kagome asked as she started to walk up to him.

"I just felt a presence of pure evil from that spot, as if the creature just sank back into the depths from where it came."

"So you're saying that wasn't an ordinary demon?" InuYasha then asked.

"No, it was an oni, but it wasn't like any kind of oni I've ever encountered before. It's aura seemed much, much darker. I think it would be a good idea for us to remain in this village for tonight in case it comes back."

Kagome was about to voice her opposition when the village headman ran up from behind a hut.

"You did it! You did it! Thank you so, so much! Stay here for the night as our thanks!" he said excitedly.

"Thanks but-" Kagome started to say, but Miroku cut her off.

"We'd be honored to stay here for the night. I could protect your daughter in case another demon decides to attack. I could-" BAM! Miroku's acceptance of the offer was cut short by Sango whacking him over the head with her boomerang.

"Can it monk." Sango said gruffly.

"Follow me then." The headman then began to lead them back to his multi-roomed hut as the sun began to set, revealing dark storm clouds on the horizon.

"We're not going back tonight, and that's final!" InuYasha yelled as he slammed his fist down onto the table, causing the plates to rise an inch off the table before coming to rest rather noisily.

"I've got a test coming up, and I need three days to study!" Kagome yelled back. "If you won't let us all go, I'll just borrow Kiara and go myself!"

"Keh! Fat chance. I won't let you go on your own if you do. I'll just follow you and drag you back."

"You do, and I'll say it till you're six feet in the ground!" Kagome snapped back. That shut up InuYasha right then, and he just got up from the table and lumbered over to a corner and sat down, growling.

"InuYasha, please let her go back! We're almost out of can-" BOOM! "AAAHHH!" Shippo screamed as he dove for cover into Kagome's lap as a loud peal of thunder echoed across the valley.

"Thunder. That's not good. Kagome, if you plan on going, we'll go too, but we have to leave now." Miroku then said calmly.

"Feh. Let's get going already then." InuYasha grunted as he got up walked out of the hut. Miroku again thanked the headman for his hospitality as they all then left. Kagome got on InuYasha's back, the others got on Kiara.

They set out at a rapid pace through the grassy valley, trying to cover as much distance as possible when the first lightning bolt hit. The heavens then seemed to open up literally as torrents of rain began to fall. The thunder and lightning then began to get more intense, lighting the area up and the loudness was such that they were now having to shout and stay close to hear one another.

"Shouldn't we go back! I don't think this was a good idea!" Shippo shouted as he trembled from Kagome's shoulder.

"Too late now runt! Suck it up!" InuYasha shouted without looking over his shoulder as he bounded over another treetop. As he landed, the tree in front of him exploded from a direct hit of lightning!

"AAAHHH!" Kagome and Shippo screamed as they both nearly throttled InuYasha from death grips. InuYasha almost fell over backwards, but barely managed to regain his posture while flailing his arms around. Sango had to pull hard on Kiara's fur to keep her from panicking as Miroku wrapped his arms tight around her. They didn't have time to recover, as more lightning began to make their surroundings explode in flames, almost as if the lighting was being aimed at them!

"Take cover over there!" Miroku shouted as he pointed toward a cave opening he noticed thanks to the lightning flashes and the flames. InuYasha and Kiara didn't hesitate and bolted toward the cave opening, diving into it. Once inside, they all sat down to catch their breath as the thunderous pounding continued.

"Something odd is going on out there, it's as if it was aimed at us!" Miroku said, looking outside at the numerous flashes.

"No kidding dammit! We almost got flash fried!" InuYasha replied, rubbing his ears and throat. His head buzzed from the amount of pounding from the thunder booming, and he felt as if he had been hanged and cut down from the grip Kagome had put on his throat.

Once settled down, InuYasha and Miroku searched around the cave for dry wood and made a fire. Shippo still shivered in fear from the storm and hugged up to Kagome. They all sat and stared outside, watching, until a small, uneasy mew came from Kiara.

"What is it Kiara?" Sango said, standing up. The neko demon stood looking off into the darkness, towards the back end of the cave. "Hey guys, I think she senses something." InuYasha stood up and walked over to where she stood and sniffed the air.

"You're right, I smell something strange, nothing I have never smelled before, let's check it out. Our problem earlier might just be waiting behind us." He said.

"Yeah, let's go look. I want to get away from the storm." Shippo said, still scared. They all stood up, Kagome pulling an emergency flashlight out of her bag, and heaving the bag over her shoulder. They wandered through the cave, walking on for what seemed an eternity until they came upon a metal door, with strange symbols painted on it.

"What the hell is this? I have never seen something like this before." InuYasha said, walking up to the door. With a metallic groan, the door suddenly slid open, revealing a florescent lit corridor of concrete.

"Its an automatic door, we have things like that in my time." Kagome said. "But I've never seen one with Latin written on it."

"But what is it doing here? What could be beyond this strange hallway?" Miroku said.

They continued onward, exploring the complex. They never came upon any other living things, but the technology they found was very advanced, beyond Kagome's time. All the others were astonished at the strange lighting, the computer screens with Latin on them, and automatic doors. Kagome was confused, why was something like a military bunker doing in the feudal era? Kagome did what she could to translate the Latin, using her text books, but it was of little use, it was too complex to decipher beyond sparse words.

They then entered a strange circular room, strange blue light flowing about. In the center stood what appeared to be a column of ice and glass, with a person frozen inside! It appeared to be a Caucasian human male, about the age of Kagome, and of small stature. His hair was distractingly white, and his skin was so pale it seemed to glow. The only clothing he wore was a long pair of black shorts. He looked like he was floating in the air, but not moving at all. They cautiously approached him.

"Kagome, what in the hell is that?" InuYasha said, utterly amazed.

"I've only seen things like this in the movies, but I think it's called cryogenic freezing. I think he's asleep. He could have been like this for years, even decades."

"So you're saying he's frozen? How is he still alive?" Sango said.

"That's the part I don't understand. But I want to know why he is here in the first place." Kagome replied.

"How about I bust him out of there?" InuYasha said, putting a hand on Tetsusaiga.

"NO! That might kill him! We have no idea how this works, and I don't want to put him at risk." Kagome protested.

"How do we know if he is even human, by the looks of it, he don't seem human." InuYasha said.

"I agree with Kagome, he is completely at our mercy right now, and I like to talk to this guy. Kagome, try to get him out." Miroku said.

"How do you expect me to know that!"

"Well, you're from the future…" Miroku replied, uneasily. He was cut off by a loud ZZZAAPPP! FRIZZLEFRIZZLEPOW! Electricity arced across the stasis tube's surface, and the lights flickered.

"The lightning again!" Shippo screamed, running away. As the lights became bright again, a soft alarm sounded, and a computerized voice said something incoherent.

"Who's there!" Sango said, readying her Hiraikotsu.

"Sango, that was not a person, but a computer. What is all of this? This is all like something out of a sci-fi movie!" Kagome said, looking around quickly

"Um, Kagome, the frozen guy's column is cracking." InuYasha said, confusedly.

Kagome whipped around to see the glass tube cracking, squirting blue fluid out in all directions. They all started backing away nervously, when it suddenly shattered. The form inside dropping onto the pedestal with a thump. Kagome started to run up to the human, but InuYasha stopped her.

"Wait, what if it tries to kill you?" InuYasha said coolly.

"But what if he doesn't? I can't stand by and just stare. He may be dying!" Kagome then wrenched free from his gasp and ran up to the pedestal, and sat him upright. His skin was extremely cold, almost like touching ice. "InuYasha, give me your haori! He's freezing!" The human then opened his blue eyes and looked at her. He said something incoherent to her.

"What?" She said. The human's face took the look to a mask of contrition, and he rolled away from her and sprang to his feet. His posture was not right from just waking up from cold sleep, and he stumbled a bit. He then scanned the others. His eyes fell upon InuYasha, and he bared his teeth.

"Feh, I knew it!" InuYasha said, drawing Tetsusaiga. He then lunged at the boy sized human, sword held back to cleave him in two. But his sword never touched him, the boy back flipped out of the way and landed on his feet. Then the boy jumped, barreling into InuYasha like a football lineman. "HOOF!" InuYasha grunted as he was knocked all the way across the room into the far wall, smacking concrete. The boy looked to the others and shouted something in his unknown tongue.

"Hey calm down, we are not here to hurt you." Kagome said, trying to calm him down. He didn't even look at her, the boy shot at InuYasha with amazing speed and pinned him up to the wall, holding him off the ground.

"Damn he's strong!" InuYasha said, trying to break his steel-like grip. He stopped though, when the boy started pounding him in the face with his fist. InuYasha's head started jerking backward into the wall with each punch. Blood from InuYasha's face began to splatter onto the floor.

'He hits as hard as Sesshomaru! I've got to break free before he knocks me out!' InuYasha thought.

"I'll stop him!" Sango said. She ran up to the boy and swung Hiraikotsu at full force, hitting the boy in the back of the head. The boy was knocked a few feet away from InuYasha, landing on the concrete floor, he started to get up but only manage to turn over. Blood began to run down the back of his neck and drip onto the floor.

"Sango, that was way to hard! You might of killed him!" Kagome said. She ran up to the boy again and sat down next to him, pulling out her first aid kit. The boy didn't stop her from patching the back of his head, he was to stupefied to. InuYasha sat where he had been dropped, in a very similar state. The boy looked into Kagome's face with his hazy blue eyes and said something to her. "Shh." She held pressure to the back of his head to stop the bleeding. The boy then reached up to her hand and pulled hers free and cupped it with his own and uneasily stood up.

"No, you are not going to attack him again, you have to stop me first." Kagome said, stepping in front of InuYasha. The boy turned away from them and staggered down a corridor, not even paying attention. "What?" They followed the boy, leaving InuYasha to sit and see stars for a while. The boy went so far down the corridor before stopping at a door with a panel next to it. Placing his hand on the panel, the door opened and he stepped inside. They followed to see what appeared to be an armory, with weapons that were extremely advanced. Some of the weapons looked archaic, a gladius with a glowing white blade amongst them. Others looked vaguely similar to guns Kagome had seen out of several sci-fi movies. The human however, walked past them all, instead walking up to a panel-like device with a red cross on it. Kagome recognized the cross as looking like the symbol of the Red Cross from her time, and deduced it to be a medical station of some sort. He put his hand on it, and a strange light flowed over his body and then went out. A strange, metal appendage then came out of the device and clamped to the back of his head where the wound was. It flashed once, then left, the wound having disappeared completely. The others mouths dropped open in shock as he then sat down at a computer terminal and began typing, shaking some of the blood and blue fluid from his hair. After typing for a few moments, he turned to them and then started motioning to them to speak.

"You want us to say something? What?" Kagome then asked. He then suddenly stopped motioning and put out a 'thumbs up'. The screen then changed and text started to rapidly flow across it. He then reached over to a box, opened it, and pulled out a wire with a strange cap on it. He pulled the cap off, revealing a metal spikes and wire ends. Taking the wire, he then jammed it into the base of his neck. The strange human then began to fidget and twitch where he sat. Kagome and the others winced just as InuYasha stumbled into the room, swaying about and growling, his face swollen from the blows. Kagome immediately ran over to him.

"InuYasha, don't. He's stopped attacking us. It seems like he's trying to talk to us now." Kagome then said.

"I don't fucking care! He just pounded in my face and I need to repay the favor!" InuYasha then said angrily, starting toward the human.

"Osuwari." Kagome then said calmly. The kotodama beads then glowed and InuYasha slammed face first into the steel and concrete deck. The human looked over at them with a confused look and pulled the wires out of the back of his neck. He stood up and faced them.

"All right. Now, just who are you and what are you doing here?" The boy said in fluent Japanese. Everybody's jaws dropped to the floor at that.

"What in the…how did you…learn our language that fast? That's impossible!" Miroku then said.

"It's simple to transmit computer data into the brain, all a matter of electrons. But I asked a question, I want an answer." he then said, clenching his fists.

"We were caught in a thunderstorm outside and sought shelter in a nearby cave, and we stumbled upon this place. Curiosity got the best of us, I guess. What are you doing here? What about this whole place? Where did it come from? Who are you?" Kagome then asked, flabbergasted.

"I am Galahad, and I was put into stasis until the time came again when I would have to return to face the forces of Hell in battle. What I don't understand is that you have light weight demons with you and under your command. They are not the same as the ones I have faced, but similar. They are more like beasts instead of demons." Galahad then got up and walked into another room, and the others followed.

"Hey, I'm not a light weight! I can kill 100 demons in one strike with my sword!" InuYasha then said.

"100 pitiful demons, maybe, but nothing like the horrors I have faced." Galahad replied without a glance as he opened up a case containing a fully enclosing power suit of very advanced design. He began assembling it upon his body. At the mention of his name, a light started flickering in Kagome's head.

'Where have I heard that name before? I know it has something to do with Western History, but where?' Kagome thought. Then it hit her. 'I remember the name Sir Galahad from the tales of King Arthur! This can't be the same guy, can it? Wait a minute. Those tales were only myth, weren't they?

"Galahad," Kagome then spoke up. "have you heard of the tales of King Arthur by any chance?"

"King Arthur, who is that? What do you mean?" Galahad's face suddenly went blank. "What year is it?" He then suddenly asked.

"Well according to the calendar I use, the year is about 1500 A.D., plus or minus one year." Kagome then said.

"A.D.? What does that mean?"

"A.D. means Anno Domini, or Year of our Lord. It is 1500 years after the birth of Christ." Kagome then said. The others started giving her weird looks too.

"Christ? Are you speaking of the son of Yahweh?" Galahad then asked.

"Yahweh? I've never heard Kami-sama called that before." Kagome then said.

"Christ, known as Jesus, was allegedly supposed to come when Yahweh's people needed a Savior, which is supposed to be long after my ti-" Galahad suddenly stopped. "I have been in stasis far too long then. And you say it has been 1,500 years since His birth?"

"That's what I'm saying." Kagome replied.

"Good Lord! I have been frozen for over 6,000 years then! My civilization is probably gone!"

The others completely collapsed at that. Kagome got back to her feet first.

"WHAT! 6,000 years! There's no possible way all of this stuff could still be working after all that time!" She then said flabbergasted again.

"That definitely beats out Oyaji then!" InuYasha said in a just as flabbergasted voice.

"Yes it is possible. Everything still works because of how well it was made. After coming to this planet after the Great War that ravaged Eden, we came here to-" He was cut off by Kagome.

"This planet? What are you saying?" Kagome was at the edge of reasoning.

"I'm saying that your predecessors, my people, came from somewhere else in the solar system. After the initial war with the spawn of Hell we had to leave or slowly die from the amount of damage the ecosystem had sustained. So we came here, and since you know none of this, it looks like my people collapsed and we as a race have lost a lot of knowledge."

"Okay, I am officially freaked out. I still don't see how this is possible." Kagome said.

"You can say that again." Sango agreed.

"No one would remember, it's been thousands of years anyway." Galahad replied. Finished with assembling his suit, he picked up the gladius from the shelf and strapped it to his waist. He also grabbed a odd looking rifle off the wall and went into the next room, carrying his fez topped helmet to his silver armor. The next room was rather dark except for the light emanating from the object sitting in a glass case at the far end. Galahad walked up to it and kneeled before it, saying words in his archaic tongue. The case then opened and Galahad reached inside, pulling out what appeared to by a winged figure holding a sword.

"Ah, the greatest of our demon slaying weapons, the Soul Cube." Galahad said, holding it at arms length, looking it over.

"Some weapon, it looks like a child's toy." InuYasha said. Galahad shot a look of zealous hate at him.

"Do not insult me over this, unless you wish to have Yahweh's judgment upon you. And I can tell you that you would be cast amongst the darkness." Galahad snapped, rather angrily.

"InuYasha, I think you better apologize for that, otherwise I'll say the 'o' word." Kagome then said.

"Oh don't worry, when I'm done with him he'll be completely vaporized." Galahad then said, rather cheerfully at the thought. InuYasha growled.

"Just what does this 'Soul Cube' do?" Miroku then asked, mostly to try and save InuYasha's butt, and partly out of his own curiosity.

"The Soul Cubes are among our greatest of artifacts of tremendous power. We created them during the original demonic invasion of our homeworld to drive the infernal horde back into Hell. The reason why it's called the Soul Cube is because it takes the energy from the souls of slain enemies and uses them as its power. Here, let me show you." Galahad then touched a certain spot on it, and four wings unfolded, turning into blades. The figure then took a battle ready stance. "Now, if this thing was charged up, all I'd have to do InuYasha is just touch you with it and you would be completely destroyed, all the way down to the last molecule." Galahad then deactivated the Soul Cube and attached it to his waist. "What about the rest of you, I do not know your names, beyond you, InuYasha, and Kagome."

"I'm Miroku. I'm a wandering monk in the service of Bhudda, and this is Sango, a demon exterminator, but she doesn't hunt the kinds of oni you refer to. And that's Shippo, and this is Kiara. Shippo's a kitsune demon, and Kiara's a fire neko demon. InuYasha is half dog demon and half human with a human mother. We're all traveling together because we are hunting down the shards to a special jewel, and also hunting a powerful evil ourselves." Miroku then went into a brief explanation of the Shikon no Tama.

"A powerful artifact. But InuYasha is half-human? How could a creature and a human…never mind, I don't wanna know. Anyway, who is this evil you hunt? Does he wish to possess the fragments of this artifact as well?" Galahad then said, intrigued.

"His name is Naraku. He's caused much, much suffering in these lands. He's killed all the others of Sango's kind, he's placed a curse on me, and he's caused InuYasha much suffering as well. He seeks to complete the Shikon no Tama so he can become full demon. He's half-demon like InuYasha, but he was created from the merger of countless pathetic demons and a human." Miroku explained. Galahad continued to walk about the facility, gathering different things from different places, but still speaking to them.

"You seem to think he is the bane of the world, but let me tell you, he is not. You sound as you fear him, and my guess is that he uses smarts, not power, to get what he wants. That's another thing, he has wants, that is very unlike the demons I know. The followers of Lucifer that I faced did not know fear, pain, or death. They slaughtered most of my people, billions in a matter of months, and it took the greatest of our weapons just to contain them. I now know for a fact that you have never seen what I have seen, and be glad for it. As for myself, I was made to fight the creatures of Hell, to send them back from whence they came. I was a soldier trained to drive the demons back into the depths of hell, and the memories of what happened back then are clear to me even to this day." Galahad sounded sad at those words.

"Wow. So humanity came from somewhere else?" Kagome then said.

"You could say that." Galahad replied. By this time, they had emerged from the facility and were now at the entrance to the cave. The others got together their belongings and started to exit. Even though the first rays of dawn were just showing, Galahad squinted and rubbed his eyes for a few moments while his eyes adjusted to the outside. Miroku then came up to Galahad.

"You said the demons you faced know no fear of death?" He then asked.

"That is correct."

"The demon, or oni in this case, we fought the day before was strangely like that. It attacked us without concern for it's own safety, and we had a very hard time taking it down. It had attacked a village for no particular reason and brutally slaughtered half the villagers."

"Describe it."

"It looked like a man, but wasn't. It had goat legs, and a saber-toothed face with horns." InuYasha then said.

"Skin tone?" Galahad then asked.

"Reddish pink. It was unlike anything I've ever seen before." Sango then said.

"What about an aura around it's hands? Did have one of those and what was it's color?"

"Yeah, it did have one of those. It was red in color. I shot it in the back with one of my purifying arrows and that barely even slowed it down. Only InuYasha's Kaze no Kizu dropped it. And even then, it just dissolved and didn't leave a body behind." Kagome then said.

"A Baron of Hell, higher ranking officer in their armies. You must take me to where you fought it. I need to see if it has been truly destroyed." Galahad answered.
