Salamander and Exceed through Time and Worlds
This'll probably be the last new story I post in awhile, real life has come up and decided it's time I get a job and start saving for collage
It had been three months since Fairy Tail's battle with Tartaros. In that time many things had changed.
The biggest was the guild being disbanded which shocked everyone, for their life they couldn't figure out why the master would do such a thing.
This was a second blow for the celestial spirit mage known as Lucy Heartfilia, not only had her best friend just up and left to go train without a word and only a letter of goodbye as her consolation.
But now the guide she had grown to love, her family and friends were all going their separate ways as well.
It was a harsh reality that never settled in Lucy's heart, even with her new job and new home she never gave up on searching for her friends who had gone their separate ways.
She held onto every mention, every hint, every eyewitness for all her friends to just know where they were they were.
But there was somebody or should she say two somebody's that were still missing, she was still looking for.
Because they hadn't known what had happen, they didn't know the truth about the guide and it would break their hearts when they found out or send Natsu into a fiery rage.
So when a mountain vanished she hadn't even thought it had been her best friend, but on the third month they received their biggest scoop so far.
A large amount of magical energy was released randomly and without explanation, when ruin knights were sent to see what had happened.
The only sign was a single wooden well in a small forest clearing that looked harmless enough; the large reading of ethernano had disappeared as fast as it had shown up.
Maybe it was her celestial spirit magic that let her know there was more to that little wooden well than what met the eye.
Or maybe it was her years with Fairy Tail and battle instincts or maybe it was her time with Natsu and his ridiculous gut senses.
But she knew somehow, she knew this had something to do with her best friend, it would be a year before she would see them again.
A year before she would feel her broken heart would heal, a year before it would be completed when she saw her guide again.
(Japan, Sengoku Period 500 yrs ago)
In this universe a world far from Fiore, it was known for things far more dangerous than magic.
Here demons are a constant plague to humanity as they struggle to live their days with these terrifying beast.
Yet gods bless humans and even protect them, but others prefer to treat them as worthless.
One such demon is known as Naraku, a human who gave up his humanity for power and now hunts for the shards of the Sacred Jewel to become at last a full demon.
In his greed for the shards he has committed many murders of both human and demon kind; no one seems to be able to stand against him.
Maybe help will come from another world, but at the same time a being that even Naraku would fear.
The only opposition to this awful being is a group of five, a half demon, three humans and two full demons.
Recovering from their ordeal with Sesshomaru after the elder brother fought the younger the half demon Inuyasha, the group felt they deserved the rest.
Even if a certain half-demon didn't agree to it.
"Stupid Kagome, we should be looking for jewel shards" grumbled Inuyasha; he looked around 15 having not aged for 50 yrs after being bound by the priestess Kikyo.
He had long white silver hair that fell to his waist and two fluffy white dog ears on his head. His skin held a slight tan and his eyes golden yellow, long claws were on his fingers as he yawned showing fangs. He wore a red kimono with red hakama, as held by the red belt was a battered sword known as the Tessaiga a sword that could only be used by Inuyasha himself. Around his neck was the source of his pain and the group's comic relief, as the magic rosary forced the half demon to the ground when told to 'Sit'.
"Come now Inuyasha, a break is needed especially after our encounter with Sesshomaru" playfully chided a dark haired man beside Inuyasha who gave a keh.
He was Miroku a monk; he was a very handsome young man maybe almost nineteen. He had dark eyes that matched his dark hair kept in a small pony tail; he wore purple ropes and a purple glove with beads over his right hand. It covered a curse known as the Wind Tunnel, a curse that will kill the young monk one day unless Naraku is stopped.
That is if he isn't killed by a woman first or a demoness pretending to be one, for despite being a monk he was a notorious flirt and a lecherous pervert.
Something that his female companions and even male companions pointed out. He would just laugh it off though and continue on his way, no matter how many hits he'd always bounce back and hit on another woman.
While both men were sitting at the camp sight the two smallest demons of the group were exploring the nearby forest.
A small child was playing in the forest at least at first glance, then you see this child had fangs, a fox tail and fox feet.
He was Shippo, a fox demon and Inuyasha's punching bag at times which earned the half demon a 'Sit' command.
He wasn't very large easily large than a cat but smaller than a large dog, he had bright orange hair in a ponytail and bright green eyes wearing a different assortment of blue for his outfit.
Chasing him was the nekomata demon Kirara, currently a small yellow kitten with black markings and large red eyes.
Her innocent appearance betrayed her true power as when in battle she changed her form into that of a large battle cat capable of flight. She showed fire around her but never seemed to be able to harness it for use.
The two demons hadn't gone too far, they could still hear and smell their friends, neither was paying much attention to their surrounding's as suddenly Kirara began to growl.
The cat's fur bristled as she looked at a cluster of bushes; soon a large flame appeared out of nowhere causing both to jump in surprise.
Instinct told both to run, but curiosity compelled the two to stay.
"What do you think that was Kirara, a demon?" asked Shippo as he sniffed; he wasn't as good as Inuyasha when it came to scent as he was still a kit and dog demons had a better sense of smell.
The cat changed into her battle mode in a ball of fire, she was much larger now besides her sharper eyes and long saber fangs she looked the same.
The twin tailed cat walked towards the strangely unburned bush, Shippo clung to her leg as they went through the thick brush.
The scent of fire, fish, cat and…was that d-dragon!?
Shippo had only smelled that scent once when he had both his parents and they had to leave for a new home because a dragon snake like demon had taken over the forest only lake.
But as they got closer it wasn't what they expected, it was no dragon laying face down on the ground.
Both went over to the unconscious duo, curiosity winning over caution once again.
"A cat?" was Shippo's question; it wasn't a normal cat though.
It was laying on its back a green cloth around its neck but what was strange was its blue fur, was it a demon like Kirara? He sniffed at the cat but didn't get the scent of demon, maybe some cats looked weird?
It also had white markings and was snoring slightly as if asleep.
Kirara gave the cat a sniff as she deemed him not a threat as the two moved to the larger figure.
It was a human probably around Miroku's age though he was a lot more muscular and tan than Miroku was, is what Shippo noticed from the arm that wasn't covered by what appeared to be a black one sleeved open vest. He was also wearing white trousers and sandal's, the scent of fire and charcoal was stronger on him as the cat smelled more like fish. There was also a strange looking red mark on the exposed arm that neither demon recognized.
His hair caught both demons attention, it was spiky and currently covering the boys face but what had them staring was the fact that it was pink. That's when Shippo noticed the scarf, something about it caught his attention as he sniffed and backed up slightly.
It wasn't just the scent of fire but also dragon that was coming off the unconscious boy, Shippo's first thought was maybe he was a half demon like Inuyasha. He had weird colored hair after all and he smelled like a dragon.
Kirara also seemed interested as she nudged the boy, all she received was s mumble of 'take that Gray' before falling quiet again.
"What should we do Kirara?" the little fox demon asked his friend, they just found two people well person who could be a half dragon demon and a cat in the forest and could be hurt.
Kirara looked at the duo as Shippo nodded giving a brave face; he knew what the others besides Inuyasha would do if they were here.
'Because Inuyasha is an idiot' thought Shippo as he helped Kirara with the boy having to turn into his balloon form to help put him on the cats back.
The guy was a lot heaver than he looked, picking up the cat since he was more Shippo's size the two friends began their walk back to camp.
Unaware that this would be the beginning of a new friendship and ally to their quest.
-Line Break-
"Have you seen Shippo? We have to get going" spoke a human girl who looked around fifthteen.
Her name was Kagome Higurashi a high school student; she had kind brown eyes and fair skin. Shoulder length black hair, her figure was that of a growing young woman and was wearing her schools green and white outfit for reasons Inuyasha never understood.
She always complained about perverts so why didn't she dress to cover up more skin?
She had just picked up her bow and arrows when she noticed the two were missing, she was also a priestess in training being the recantation of Kikyo a priestess who had once guarded the sacred jewel.
"Kirara is missing as well, they must be playing" smiled another young woman a little older than Kagome.
She was Sango the Demon Slayer; she was a beauty among men in her current attire of magenta kimono and green skirt which hide her demon slayer outfit under it. She had kind brown eyes with magenta eye shadow, but slightly guarded from how many she lost in her life and long brown hair. On her back was her weapon made of demon bones known as Hiraikotsu, it was her best weapon by far.
"The runts playing in the forest, I can smell them coming back" muttered Inuyasha before he stood up fangs bared.
This surprised them all as they looked where the half demons golden eyes were currently glaring at, Miroku had picked up his golden staff ready for a fight as the girls drew their own weapons.
They relax upon seeing Shippo and Kirara that is until they noticed both demons cargo.
"KAGOME!" yelled Shippo running as fast as he could on two paws.
The four ran up to them as Shippo set what looked like a blue cat down near the camp on the grass.
Both girls gasped as they saw the slightly scuffed up young teen on the fire cat's back, both girls hurrying next to the nekomata who laid down as they set the mystery boy on his back next to the cat.
"Shippo what happened?" asked Kagome glancing at the two; the cat looked fine just asleep.
The boy if you ignored what looked like he was scuffed up from a fight, she was used to seeing them on Inuyasha seemed to at least not be in pain.
"We were playing in the forest and then Kirara started to growl, then fire and then we saw them" explained Shippo quickly and shortly a little to freaked out to properly articulate words.
Miroku walked over narrowing his eyes as Sango examined the cat, mostly from the color but a faint feeling of power she felt from it.
As a demon slayer she had grown sensitive to some forms of demonic energy and magic, she felt only a little coming from the cat.
Inuyasha had walked over as he sniffed the air near the pink haired boy and growled slightly making the others look at him.
"The guy smell's human enough but he reeks of fire and charcoal" Inuyasha had never met anyone or any demon that smelled like this human.
At least if he was human, he too had caught the scent of dragon but beside's the pink hair couldn't see any features of a dragon.
"He also smells like a dragon, that's the weird thing" spoke up Shippo as the others looked at each other.
'Could he be like Inuyasha?' were their thoughts as the sudden sound of someone saying 'fish' made them look down.
Kagome who was going to touch the teens head for a temperature pulled her hand back as she looked at the cat.
The cat was slowly waking up as he rubbed his eye's surprising them" Neh, Natsu time for fish?" spoke the cat groggily surprising them as they wondered if he was a new kind of cat demon.
The blue cat looked up at them before shouting!"Ahh! Natsu! There are weird people around! And there's no fish!" panicked the cat as he looked around for this 'Natsu' person as he spotted the pink haired boy.
The cat quickly moved towards the boy jumping on his chest before looking at them in slight fear" Natsu wake up! Were surrounded!" this only gained him a groan from the newly named Natsu as Sango spoke up.
"Were not going to hurt you cat demon, you were found in the forest completely knocked out" she said as the cat calmed down as he looked confused and scratched his head.
"Eh? I'm not a cat demon" he said as they gave him a confused look.
"But you can talk" Inuyasha stated the obvious as the cat looked at him, and freaked out.
"Ahh! Is a dog monster!" and once again proceeded to try to wake up Natsu.
He just had to be a heavy sleeper didn't he! Then again at least he wasn't snoring which meant he probably wouldn't get punched by his partner.
"Why you little-"Inuyasha was about to whack the cat over the head when.
"Sit Boy!" the next thing the blue cat knew he was seeing Inuyasha on the ground with his face in a crater made by said face.
He couldn't help but laugh at the dog guy who in a way reminded him of Lamia Scale's Toby, only meaner and more violent.
"Okay, so if you're not a demon what are you?" asked Kagome as the cat was as cute as Kirara and Shippo in her eyes.
The cat looked at them smiling a little, as the humor calmed him down.
He wished Natsu had seen that, maybe when he woke up he could get the dog mad and the girl would make him fall on his face again.
An evil gleam played in his eyes that caused the humans to narrow their eyes as he stared at inuyasha cackling lightly.
"I'm an exceed, my name's Happy!" Happy smiled as the humans tilted their heads but decided to withhold questions until his companion woke up.
At that moment Inuyasha stood up glaring at the cat" stupid cat" he muttered as Happy heard the familiar phrase.
'He sounds like Lucy' was the exceeds thoughts as besides the confusion and Natsu's unconscious state, he began to notice something weird.
One, the people besides the black haired girl who was dressed like Lucy were in weird clothes. Two, they weren't in a forest anymore but a grassland near a forest.
Just what had happened? All he remembered was fire and a purple light then he woke up to weird people and a dog man.
"I suggest we stay here for the night until Happy's companion awakens" spoke Miroku as Inuyasha butted in.
"Oi! Just let Kirara carry him, we already lost enough time lounging around here" snapped the half demon irritated and hotheaded as always.
"He seems fine but he could be hurt, I agree with Miroku" said Sango as Kagome and Shippo agreed as well.
"Four against one Inuyasha" giggled Kagome as said boy huffed and sat down not looking at anyone.
As the group settled back at the campsite the sun began to set, they had planned to walk through the night but this recent set of events changed that.
"Come on Inuyasha, we both know the minute we set the ramen to cook you forget-"before Kagome could finish Inuyasha was already yelling at the water she had just set to boil to cook faster.
At the same time a few fish were cooking as their new blue guest began to drool" is that fish!" he spoke walking away from Natsu and looking at the fire greedily, seeing a raw fish about to have a stick put through it.
"Yes, would you like one once their cook" smiled Sango, despite the fact they knew nothing of this exceed he was called.
He seemed harmless enough and since Miroku and Kagome seemed calm he must not be a danger, she just hoped his human friend was as easy to get along with.
"Nah, fish is better raw" drooled Happy as Sango handed him the one that had yet to be skewered.
They watched the blue cat sit next to his friend; the women didn't miss the worry in his eyes though.
He seemed no pun intended, happy and relaxed but he was obviously worried about his friend.
Happy barley listen to the groups conversation about what he guessed was something important from there expressions, they were similar to the time's during their fights in the GMG and against the seven demon gates.
Natsu still hadn't woken up which hadn't surprised Happy, this was the first time both had any sleep or food in the last four days.
Between meeting Gildart's, some training that resulted in the lost of their food, then getting lost looking for food and finding that weird well, Happy shouldn't have been surprised at all.
Sighing to himself he settled himself on Natsu's stomach, these people seemed nice enough maybe they'd know what had happened to them.
They sort of reminded him of their friends, as he closed his eyes he didn't notice the small smiles on the girl's faces.
Kagome and Sango had noticed the cat had gone silent after eating and couldn't help but internally squeal at the cute sight of Happy curled up on his friend.
"There probably close friends" said Sango, Kirara on her own lap as the cat mewed in agreement.
"So if dragon boy over there doesn't wake up we leave him and the cat at the nearest village" it wasn't even a request as the others gave Inuyasha a look.
"You just said he smells like a dragon" deadpanned Kagome and Inuyasha just started at her like she pointed out the obvious.
Kagome sighed, sure he was a good fighter but when it came to thinking and socializing Inuyasha wasn't the best.
"Yeah, so?" the half demon was too busy thinking about his bastard brother and finding more jewel shards.
"Unless you want to walk back to Kaede's village he's staying with us" said Kagome giving Inuyasha the look, causing him to flinch not wanting to get sat again.
"If he's like you Inuyasha villagers might not want to help him" spoke up Miroku knowing they wouldn't get any answers until the teen woke up.
Shippo sighed with a smile" Seriously, Inuyasha your an idiot" he soon received a punch to the head.
The usual cry for Kagome happened followed by a 'sit' as the group got ready to bed down, not knowing they were about to deal with a dragon slayer in about twelve to thirteen hours.
And someone who'd match their dog eared friend when it came to picking fights.
-Line Break-
The first thing that he became aware of was the scent of a campfire and grilled fish, maybe ramen?
Then warmth on his chest which didn't surprise him, Happy would sometimes curl up on him when they couldn't find shelter.
Sometime's being a walking furnace wasn't such a bad thing no cold, at least if it wasn't a harsh blizzard.
Slowly opening his eyes morning sun caused him to blink as he wondered why he couldn't remember falling asleep.
Sitting up slowly as to not to wake Happy, he looked around when he caught unfamiliar scents.
A group of people were asleep a few feet away, two of them smelled human enough and one was a cat.
But the silver haired guy with dog ears leaning against a tree and a small kid with a fox tail sleeping near the human girl had completely different scents.
He was honestly confused but if these guys didn't look like the usually bandits or trouble making wizards, okay he got bad vibes from that dog guy but the humans in the group seemed harmless.
That and seeing a large weapon near the other girl, for once didn't just decide to shout or spew fire in confusion.
Setting Happy gently on the grass he looked around memories slowly returning, he was in a forest it had been thick and where was that creepy old well?
Making his way towards water which he guessed was the reason those people made camp here, there was another human scent leading there.
Filling up a bottle of water was a man wearing purple robes, he didn't seem to notice him at least he thought as before he could get any closer.
"Good morning, I hope you slept well you've been out since yesterday afternoon" the man turned towards him, he didn't look much older than Natsu himself maybe a bit taller.
"Your blue companion was worried" he said as he motioned for them to walk back to the camp.
"Yeah, uh, thanks I guess" spoke Natsu not knowing the man's name but grateful for his help, even though he didn't know what happened to him and Happy.
An awkward silence fell between them as they made the short walk back; the others had woken up as a familiar fluff of blue attached itself to his face.
"Natsu! You're awake!" cheered Happy as he flew in front of Natsu.
"What the heck! That thing can fly!" shouted the man in red as Happy was too busy being relived.
Natsu turned towards the dog man with a small glare" he's not a thing!" he snapped as the guy growled showing off fangs.
That surprised Natsu a bit as he noticed the guy smelled human but also like some sort of dog, like the ears displayed.
He was like Toby but at the same time he wasn't, he felt the same energy he usually only got around Mira's Satan Soul's.
Was the guy some sort of demon? If so he wasn't anything like the ones he and the guild fought.
The guy wasn't even close in power compared to the Etherious.
"Keh, whatever" Inuyasha crossed his arms at this, not at all realizing he was irritating the pink haired teen.
Before Natsu could even try anything the guy was slamming into the ground on his own, causing him and Happy to burst out laughing.
"Haha, that was just what happened yesterday" laughed Happy landing on Natsu shoulder to keep from falling.
"I'll kill you stupid cat" Inuyasha growled not at all noticing the glare Natsu was giving him as once again he was stopped from acting out by a girl.
"Sorry about him, he gets irritated without his ramen" she sighed as the fox boy on her shoulder laughed.
"Inuyasha's always a stick in the mud" laughed the kid as Natsu still had no idea what was going on.
Something seemed different, not just the forest but the scent of the air and even the sky looked different.
"Uhh, so thanks for helping us" he didn't know the groups names as the man from before spoke up.
"It wasn't an issue, my name's Miroku and this lovely beauty is Sango" Miroku started off normal then his sentence turned flirtatious at the end as Sango gave him a glare that caused Happy and Natsu to take a step back.
It was like looking at Erza, while Miroku seemed like he was going to be like Loke.
"And I'm Kagome Higurashi and this is Shippo" smiled Kagome as Natsu couldn't help but be reminded of Lucy, the fox gave a cheerful 'Hello' as she looked at the dog boy.
"And that's Inuyasha, he's stupid" said Shippo as said half demon heard this.
"That's it Runt!" Shippo jumped off Kagome's shoulder as he ran away laughing, Inuyasha chasing him.
Natsu and Happy sweat dropped at this, it reminded them both of his and Gray's fights only this one seemed far more childish.
"I'm Natsu Dragneel and this is Happy" he said trying to keep from looking around, something just felt different.
He felt like he wasn't in Fiore anymore, but something felt different about this place almost malevolent.
"So what were you two doing in the woods?" he looked at Sango who had…was that a two tailed cat on her shoulder?
Happy spoke up rubbing the back of his ears" we were looking for food, Natsu thought he smelled dinner but then we got lost and found a creepy well" he said as the humans gave them surprised looks.
"An old well?"
"What do you mean smelled dinner?"
The questions had come from Kagome and Inuyasha who had joined the conversation.
"Yeah, it reeked like old bones" Natsu wrinkled his nose at the memory" I have a better sense of smell than most people" he shrugged at the dog guy.
Something about him just bugged him, like Gray.
The others had a pretty good idea that the well was the Bone Eaters well, but they'd have to check with Keade.
But they weren't planning on going back to the village for awhile, but maybe they could have Natsu travel with them.
Out of all of them Sango easily recognized the signs of someone who had seen a lot of battles' in his time, that and something else something she recognized inside of herself.
She was about to offer that the two come with them when.
"So you have a nose like Inuyasha? Are you a half demon to?" it had been Shippo that had asked the question that they had in the back of their minds, as he looked up at Natsu innocently.
Natsu gave a grin that showed off his canines similar to Inuyasha's only slightly bigger" nah, I'm a dragon slayer" this caught the others attention hearing a new title.
"Keh, you telling me you kill dragons" all of them saw a shadowed look pass through the teens eyes before he smirked, Happy taking over the explanation like he usually did.
"A dragon slayer takes on the features of a dragon when they learn their magic, it's a lost magic that was originally used to deal with dragons" smiled Happy as Inuyasha and the others looked surprised.
While Miroku wonder exactly what this lost magic was.
"So you're half dragon?" asked Kagome as Natsu shook his head.
"You can think of it like that, but I'm just a human who has the physical traits of a dragon" he was used to explaining this to people before as many had never seen dragon slayer magic.
"Is that why you have that stupid pink hair" said Inuyasha; it was like the guy was asking to be teased.
The next thing Inuyasha knew he was slammed against a tree, the smell of fire filled his nose as he opened his eyes in shock.
The robe of the fire rat had protected him from the heat as everyone's eyes were on Natsu's left fist.
"Like your one to talk! With that stupid silver hair old man!" he started off angry then changed to teasing as he got the response he wanted.
Happy flew off of Natsu's shoulder flying next to Kagome" I feel bad for Inuyasha" muttered Happy knowing the dog guy was going to get fried extra crispy.
Kagome and the others had just been about to offer their help when Inuyasha got Natsu mad, it was a surprise when he punched the half demon away like he was nothing and into a tree.
What surprised them more was the fire around his fist "forget what I said, you're a fire demon!" shouted Inuyasha trying to punch Natsu who dodged before sending a flaming kick towards his side sending him towards the tree's again.
"Again! Your one to talk!" having figured out by the guy's scent he was a demon, it was similar to Mira's Satan Soul only the scent seemed imbedded into his skin and into the core of his being.
So he was either turned into a demon or born this way but unlike the fight during Face, he wasn't getting the same killer vibes from this guy.
And seeing as he had human friends he doubted the guy was dangerous, well to his friends when it came to his enemies he couldn't guess.
"Hey! Both of you stop it!" yelled Kagome as she was ignored and before she could yell a 'sit' command Happy giggled a bit.
"Don't worry this happens all the time back home, if we're not eating or sleeping Natsu's going to be fighting" smiled Happy as they were surprised by how calm the exceed was.
Inuyasha seemed to be about to pull out a sword as before he could" Fire Dragons ROAR!" releasing a large stream of flames surprising Inuyasha and the others they were all shocked to see the fire rat robe slightly singed.
Even Inuyasha had to admit that had hurt, as he couldn't understand how he even felt that heat the robe of the fire rat was suppose to protect him from all kinds of fire.
"Stop this now! Even if that was an impressive fight" said Sango walking towards them with a glare.
Happy and Natsu both nodded their heads" Aye sir!" they said automatically inciting strange looks from the group.
"Now that we have that out of the way" muttered Kagome, but impressed as were the others.
"We were wondering if you'd like to travel with us were not going back to Kaede's village just yet, but if you come with us you could get some answer about how you got here" offered Kagome as Happy and Natsu deiced to ask something that was bugging them.
"Do you guys know if Fiore's around here?" he asked, and instantly he received confused looks.
"Fiore? Is that a place from your time Kagome?" asked Miroku as Natsu and Happy ignored the first part of the sentence.
"No, I've never heard of it" she said looking at Natsu and Happy who were beginning to get a sickening feeling of déjà vu.
'Not again!' they thought.
'At least I can use my magic here' Natsu had been too busy picking a fight to even realize his magic was working.
"Wait! So where are we?" asked Natsu as Kagome wondered how he could use magic if he probably came from her time.
That and his magic was even weirder than any she had seen before in this time, it looked a lot more like the attacks demons used.
"Feudal Japan 500 yrs in the past" she answered as both cat and boy gave her confused looks.
"What's Japan?" asked Natsu never hearing of the place and confirming his suspicions.
"Didn't you learn geography?" Kagome was beginning to realize something that should have stuck out to her, maybe Natsu was from 400 or 300 yrs in the past.
Did that mean fairy tales were real? Wondered Kagome as Natsu suddenly shot a jet of fire into the air spooking them all, it lasted a few minutes as they all wondered how he held his breath for so long before stopping.
"Not again! I thought we were done with parallel worlds!" he yelled Happy was in no better state.
"What! That means I might never see Carla again!" sobbed Happy as they were watched by the group for a solid three minutes.
"What do you mean parallel world?" asked Kagome, she could travel to the past did that mean alternative realities were real to!
Natsu groaned as he fell onto the ground" it's going to be a long story" he muttered.
"Aye" said Happy muttering Carla's name.
"But first you have any food" at that a small feeling of dread fell through the camp as they all became wary of the suspicious gleam in both boy and cat.
And soon realized there was someone who could give Inuyasha's appetite a run for his money.
-Line Break-
After Inuyasha's impatience had gotten the better him they began to walk as Natsu explained everything about his world keeping personal things like his childhood and anything to do with Igneel out of the conversation.
He only mentioned the cursed black dragon when he told them about the seven years of being in frozen sleep.
Eventually he began to talk about his friends as Kagome laughed when she heard about Gray" he takes off his clothes!" she laughed as Happy had decided to ride on her shoulder.
Saying that unlike their friend Lucy, she was way prettier and had a nice smile, causing another brawl between Inuyasha and Natsu when he attempted to hit the blue cat.
Natsu seemed to have an almost parental protective instinct over Happy that made Kagome wonder if he had raised the blue cat from a kitten.
"This Erza and Mirajane both sound like beautiful women" said Miroku when Natsu had spoken of them causing boy and exceed to laugh.
And Sango to give the lecher a glare as Natsu avoided her instantly; he had seen that look way too many times.
Having had the group tell them their own abilities he had never met a demon slayer who didn't use magic, and couldn't wait to see Sango in action.
"They're pretty alright, but everyone likes having their body parts" laughed Happy as despite being beautiful women both were the definition of scary.
The group hadn't told Natsu or Happy about Naraku or jewel shards as they were too busy listening to the dragon slayer and exceed.
That and they hoped not to involve who they were beginning to see as new friends, especially when they told them about their yearlong training trip.
Apparently after a big battle with demons that sounded just as bad maybe even worse than Naraku, Natsu decided he needed to become stronger.
And while they had only seen a small portion of his power they kept quiet, the temptation was too great to even ask them of such a thing.
Getting home should be Natsu and Happy's only worry, was an agreed thought.
Though Inuyasha was slightly out of jealousy, it felt like Sesshomaru all over again when he got into that small brawl.
Especially since fire actually hurt him while wearing a supposed magical fire proof robe.
"Were almost to the village" spoke Miroku though Natsu frowned, something wasn't right.
He'd been in too many situations to ignore his instincts.
They would soon prove to be correct.
One story would set everything in motion, as it would be almost a year in Inuyasha's time before either of them went home to Fiore.
I don't care if this sucks I had fun writing it, and Natsu will begin to learn more about Miroku, Shippo, Sango and Naraku, along with secret meetings with a certain undead priestess we all love to hate
