Author's Notes/Warnings: For realism's sake, I am going to be putting Inuyasha's speech in romaji when he is conversing with the exorcists. I will include a translation in my ending author's notes. I will be using a combination of babelfish and , which has proven more-or-less accurate for me. If however, something is horribly wrong, please let me know.

Chapter One: First Impressions

Inuyasha paced the fence, his fingers drumming on his arm and his face fixed in a scowl. "She's taking too long," he growled, jumping down and disappearing into the forest. Once he was out of earshot, Sango turned to Miroku.

"So, how long has Kagome been gone?"

The monk glanced up at the sky before shaking his head. "Less than a day and a half. I'm afraid Inuyasha's heading right into a fight he won't win."

"He doesn't learn, does he?"

"It's because he's an idiot," Shippo interjected, perching on Miroku's shoulder. "There's just no cure for stupidity." Both humans sadly nodded their agreement.

Inuyasha shot between the trees, smirking as the well came into view. You better be ready, Kagome, 'cuz you're comin' back no matter what. He cleared the distance between the treeline and the well in a single leap, vanishing into the familiar glow.

The darkness stretched for an eternity, and he growled in discomfort. It should not have taken this long to cross the gap. Without warning, a bright white light encased him, charged with black lightning that crackled against his skin. His hand reached for Tetsusaiga's hilt, and then he was falling, crashing to the ground in a cloud of white dust that tickled his nose. Though he was blinded by the flash and the dust hampered his senses, he could tell that he was not in Kagome's world. Or anywere else he had been before. This place, wherever it was, felt...different.

A siren screeched against his ears, sending him cringing closer to the ground. He lost to his instinct, raising his hands to cover the sensitive triangles that poked out from under his hair, shouting curses back at the stream of incomprehensible babble that surrounded him. Some of it sounded like the stuff Kagome muttered when she was reading her books, but he could only recognize one word.

Akuma.

Devil.

The cloud was beginning to settle, allowing flashes of red to dance across his clearing vision. Frantically, he swiveled his head, certain that, though this was not her world, Kagome had to have been sent here too. "Kagome!"

He started to run, but stopped as several figures in odd white clothes circled around him, pointing odd boxes at him. "Kagome!" He shouted for her then turned narrowed eyes on the figures. "Naniwo Kagome toshitaka?" They simply stared at him and raised the boxes higher. He cracked his knuckles and flexed his claws, his thin patience close to breaking. "Kanojo gairutokoro , yuyushi i?"

He bared his fangs as he snarled, noting how the figures shrunk back. They were pathetic, really. Reflexively, he sniffed the air, absorbing the new scents now that the dust was gone. All of them were just humans and they were scared. Of him. Was he the devil the voice had mentioned?

He took a step towards the nearest one, glowering menacingly, ambivalent to the look of fear in the man's eyes. As long as they told him where to find Kagome, he wouldn't hurt them too badly. His ears flicked and his nose twitched, alerting him to danger. Pausing in his advance, he leapt into the air, turning a curious gaze on the rainbow beams of light that passed beneath him, forming a large box where he had been standing. Lightly he landed on its surface, reaching down to knock on it.

"Shouheki ka?"

One of the men shouted something that he could not understand, dropping his box and running off down a dark hallway. "Chotto!" Inuyasha reached a hand out and the others followed the first man's lead, disappearing in an instant. "Machijikan! Watashi ha machijikan , kokuhyou shita shuudoushi wo itsutta!"

A low rumble started in his throat and he felt his temper rising. So much for peaceful resolution; apparently he would have to tear the place apart to find Kagome. Stamping his foot, he extended his senses, trying to find any trace of her scent. Instead, he smelled a disturbance of the air, and raised his arm as a shield. Black needles bounced harmlessly off the sleeve of his robe and he glared over the fabric at this new threat.

Less than a half dozen people stood across from him, some with weapons, others just taking a fighting stance. He had thought the strange monks were an odd enough assortment, but this small band of warriors confused him enough to slightly diffuse his anger. One was an old man with dark circles around his eyes that reminded him of a painting of some animal Kagome had once given to Shippo; a panda, she'd called it. Another actually made him think of the young kitsune, his red hair bright against the darkness of their clothing. He was unimpressed by a midget blob of white, his gaze settling instead on the girl that stood slightly behind the others. Beneath her hard glare of hate, she had a familiar face. Something about it lacked the foreigness of the others.

He leapt from his platform, nothing but a blur until he landed behind her. "No onnanoko. Tairiku , kenri karaaruka?" If she was, then there was a chance she would understand him. Obviously, no one else could. "Watashi ha Kagome to namae wo age rareru onnanoko wo sagashi teiru."

The girl turned in surprise, but instead of answering him, he felt a flare of power as she kicked at him. Too late to jump back, he took the blow, sure she could do him no harm. Like the monks and the others around her, she was just a human. He was most definitely not expecting to be knocked into a wall, the stone crumbling around him. Snarling, he got to his feet, glowering at the girl. "Soreha nanno tamenoattaka? Watashi ha nanimo shinakatta!" The girl stared back, murder in her eyes. Her companions, however, seemed a lot less threatening now, their bodies relaxing into confusion.

~x~x~x~

"Hey, Gramps. Are we sure that's an Akuma?" Lavi looked down at Bookman, resting his weight on his hammer and keeping a wary eye on the strange creature that had appeared inside headquarters. Lenalee seemed to have gotten a good blow in, but the thing had stood back up again, shouting in whatever language it was shouting. He did not recognize it personally, and it seemed that the elder man was just as confused. "It doesn't seem to feel like attacking us much."

"Idiot. Just because we don't for certain that it is an Akuma does not mean we know for certain that it isn't. Just look at it."

The redhead did just that, squinting at the thing that was having a shouting match with Lenalee that nobody present could understand both sides of. Shrugging, he turned to the boy next to him. "What do you think, Allen? You see anything coming out of that guy?"

"Ummm..." Allen frowned, pushing Crowned Clown off his face. His left eye was red and the disc around it was spinning wildly. "Well, I do, but it's different. I think I see two souls, but they're kind of merged together in the middle. And it...they're not sad." He stepped in front of Lenalee, holding up his hands. "Excuse me, but -"

"Baka nomoyashi shime nasai!"

The exorcists all froze, staring at the odd man in disbelief. "Moyashi?" Lavi repeated, ignoring the gloom aura Allen was seeping. "For all the times for Yu to be gone..." As soon as the words had left his mouth, he caught sight of a glint of metal and his eye went wide. The Akuma's ears flicked back before he turned, pulling out the sword on his waist. The redhead choked at the size of the blade that he saw for only a fraction of a second before it was lost in the flash of light surrounding its collision with a lethal Mugen.

Author's Notes: As promised, here's a translation of all of Inuyasha's speech. Hopefully it's accurate, and if it's not, at least you know what I was trying to say.

Naniwo Kagome toshitaka? - What have you done with Kagome?

Kanojo gairutokoro , yuyushi i? - Where is she, damn it?

Shouheki ka? - A barrier?

Chotto! - Hey!

Machijikan! Watashi ha machijikan , kokuhyou shita shuudoushi wo itsutt! - Wait! I said wait, you damned monks!

No onnanoko . Tairiku, kenri karaaruka? - You, girl. You are from the continent, right?

Watashi ha Kagome to namae wo age rareru onnanoko wo sagashi teiru. - I am looking for a girl named Kagome.

Soreha nanno tamenoattaka? Watashi ha nanimo shinakatta! - What the hell was that for? I didn't do anything!

Baka nomoyashi shime nasai! - Shut up, idiot beansprout!
