Adventures in Feudal Japan
A/N: This is my first Naruto/Inuyasha crossover, so tell me what you think. This story is obviously AU, so expect the characters to be a bit OoC at times. I'll also be skipping some parts, but if they're important to the story, I'll show it in a flashback. I don't remember how some parts of the Inuyasha series went, especially the beginning, so bear with me.
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or Inuyasha. They belong to Masashi Kishimoto and Rumiko Takahashi respectively
Chapter 1: Prologue
At the Valley of the End:
Naruto and Sasuke were standing on opposite sides of the lake. Sasuke was in his Cursed Seal Second State. His skin was gray, he had black claw-like nails, a four pointed star adorned the middle of his face, his hair was long and spiky, and he had two hand-like wings sticking out of his back. He wore the same clothes he did at the Chunin Exam Finals: A black shirt and pants, black sninja sandals, and a black konoha headband. He was staring Naruto down. Naruto was in his One-Tailed Cloak form. His tenant, the Kyuubi no Kitsune's Chakra was wrapped around him, covering him like a cloak. It even formed pointed ears and a swishing tail made of Chakra. He was wearing an orange and blue jumpsuit which had a hole over his right shoulder, blue ninja sandals, and a blue Konoha headband. His eyes were red and slitted, and his left arm was limp. Neither ninja said anything as they charged their most powerful attacks. Sasuke focused Lightning Chakra to form his Chidori, inadvertently turning it gray, while Naruto formed a swirling ball of Chakra with the aid of the cloak, turning it red.
"Chirodi!"
"Rasengan!"
The two jumped at each other, Sasuke using his wings to stay in the air. The two friends-turned-enemies thrust their attacks at each other, colliding in the middle. Naruto, not wanting to kill Sasuke, aimed high, while Sasuke aimed low. Naruto simply scratched his opponent's headband, while Sasuke impaled Naruto, inflicting a fatal wound. They both then fell to the ground, Sasuke still standing, but having regressed from his transformed state. Knowing that Naruto wouldn't survive, Sasuke turned around and departed, not seeing Naruto vanish.
In Feudal Japan, Near Kaede's village:
A flash of light got the attention of the villagers. A young boy with pointed, furry ears had appeared just outside the village. There were two holes in the boy's shirt, one over his right shoulder, the other over his stomach. For a few seconds a black hole could be seen in his stomach, but it was slowly closing, leaving nothing but a starburst scar, which was slowly disappearing. A black drawing could be seen. It comprised of strange writing outside an even stranger spiral. That, too, was slowly disappearing, the being it contained no longer alive, its chakra now flowing through the young boy. As the villagers brought the kid to Kaede, another oddity occured: a teenage girl was climbing out of an ancient well. The girl investigated the area she was in, and stumbled across a half-demon that looked about teen-age. She walked up to him, examining him, before seeing his ears. They were strange, as they were white dog ears that stood on his head. She reached out and started touching them. After a few seconds she stopped, and was suddenly held at spear point by other villagers. She was taken to Kaede, where they tried to exorcise her, only to learn she was human. She was then taken in by Kaede, where she saw a young boy with fox ears.
That night:
Naruto woke up to the sounds of battle. Groaning in annoyance, he slowly made his way outside to see what was going on, and saw a giant centapede with the body of a woman attacking the villagers. Grumbling, he focused on his newly acquired demonic energy. His eyes turned red and slitted, his nails turned into claws, and chakra bubbled around him, forming a cloak with a single tail before he charged at the centapede.
"Hey, Centapede! Pick on someone who can actually give you a fight!"
He tried to claw at her, but she dodged. Snarling, he thrust his arm forward, causing the cloak to extend and chase her, eventually scoring a hit, scratching her side.
While this was going on, another denizen was waking up. He had white hair, and was wearing a red hakama. He suddenly pulsed in time to his heart, which suddenly restarted. His eyes opened, showing them to be gold and slitted. He slowly reached to the arrow, but before he could grab it, it shocked him, revealing it to have Spiritual energy sealed within. He looked at forward, and saw a young boy battling the Mistress Centapede.
"Heh. That kid's pretty good. If I were free, I'd test him myself."
Naruto was suddenly swatted away as the Centapede chased after the teenage girl, Kagome Higurashi. The girl led her to Inuyasha, who started chastising her, thinking she was a former lover. Kagome climbed up to the trapped hanyo.
"Kikyo, Kikyo!, I don't know who she is, but she's not me!"
"Yeah, well then why do you smell so much like -" He sniffs a couple of times. "-You're not her."
"I know! Me name is Kagome! Ka-go-me!"
At that moment Mistress Centapede grabbed Kagome in her mouth, causing the girl to grab Inuyasha's hair, making him yell out in pain. After some struggle, the centapede demon pulled Kagome off Inuyasha (Not that way people) and threw her into the air, tearing into her flesh. As she was in the air, a jewel burst from her in a shower of blood. She fell onto the ground with the jewel, the villagers attempting to keep the demon at bay. Kagome got up with aid and walked over to Inuyasha, who asked her if she could pull out the jewel, amongst Kaede's protests. After a minute deciding, she agreed, and climbed back to around his level. But before she could grab the arrow, Mistress Centapede swallowed the jewel and wrapped herself around the tree, pinning Kagome against it and Inuyasha. She groaned in pain, but continued to reach for it, eventually grabbing it. She destroyed the arrow, breaking the spell.
Inuyasha started to laugh, his power returning. Mistress Centapede tried to crush the two, but he blew her body apart in one attack, throwing Kagome off him. He landed in a crouch, and flexed his fingers, cracking the knuckles. The two threw insults, before the centapede attacked Inuyasha. He focused his demonic energy to his claws and attacked back.
"Sankon Tesso!"
He slashed through her entire body, breaking it to bits. Kaede told Kagome to look for the piece of flesh containing the jewel. After finding it, they cut it out, evaporating the skin off the bones. Inuyasha got ready to steal the jewel, and attacked Kagome, who ducked under it, falling on her back in the process. Naruto, having seen the whole thing, gathered more demonic energy, the cloak returning. He sent one of his claws at Inuyasha, which grabbed him, and pulled the hanyo to Naruto, who slammed him onto the ground. Using one hand to hold him there, he gathered enough chakra for a Rasengan in the other, using his cloak to hold it together.
"Now, you will cooperate, or I'll slam this into your stomach. Which will it be?"
To Be Continued...
A/N: That's the end of the first chapter. I had intended it to just be Naruto entering Feudal Japan, but the idea didn't stop there. Please read and review.
