A Gormet World Native

*Narrator Voice*

Hello everyone, today is a day where I tell you something, only a few people know about, a legend within a legend. It is forgotten for most of the Century Being Flower. This flower is forbidden to be plucked or harvested by IGO.

This flower, at every century, will bloom a being of immeasurable strength, durability, and adaptation, but this being is also an ingredient, thus why it is forbidden to obtain. This being looks like us in every way until it morphs its body as it adjusts to the environment. These beings are only one of a kind because of their strength. Through one century of living, the being will die and in its place a new flower will bloom to give birth to another baby being. There is no recording of have more than 1 such being.

The reason why it is an ingredient is because of its flesh and fruit it can make. Being native to the Gormet World and eating most of all its luxuries and dangers keeping it fit, if you are cold hearted enough, will give you to most delectable meat that is close to be called the legendary God and its fruit, the most delicious in its flavor and texture. It is said that if this being where to fall in love to someone, it will give the fruit willingly to its intended. But, due to its immeasurable favors and the unfortunate being of like us, it has been cast off and forbidden to be hunted. Thus it has been forgotten, until now!

Toriko had landed harshly on to the ground in the Gormet World, unable to move due to its increase of gravity. A pair of deep blue ocean eyes look on at the man as he struggled to sit up to try and avoid the giant 3 headed tiger. Those blue eyes widened at the Toriko in recognition of his figure.

The figure in fur pelts leaped in front of Toriko and glared down the big kitty. The Tiger, sensing danger from the small figure, moved away in another direction. The fur clad figure nodded to itself and turned to Toriko, showing her face.

Toriko can see her ruler, petite figure and ample chest clad in tight but loose fitting make shift shirt and shorts made of fur of different animals. She had ankle length, raven colored hair bound with vines to keep it out of her face. She had no shoes. She has peach tan skin, blemish free, but if not for the light scars. She had a heat shaped face, a small up turned nose, high cheekbones, and small full, faint red lips.

She walked over to his form cautiously. Toriko could only feel the danger coming off the small female. He watched as she pursed her lips and warily stretched out to touch his. He saw the wary curiosity in her cold blue eyes. He lifted his hand and she froze with caution and calculating eyes. He just smiled.

She slowly put her hand on his and compared her size to his. She studied at how small her hand was in his. She looked at his again, deeming it safe, but still alert to her surroundings. Her eyes brightened and she lay down, a lined their feet, and drew a line at the top of her head in the dirt. She sat up hopefully and looked at the ground, to him, then the ground.

She went to sulk in a crouch position a little ways off. Toriko, amused to no end, looked at where she drew her line. The light bulb went off above him. She was comparing their height. From the looks of it, she is taller than Komatsu by a couple centimeters. He shook his head and laughed. Which stopped immediately at her over the shoulder glare, she then got a gleam in her eye.

Toriko sat up, with all his strength, to his forearms to get a better look at her. She crawled over to him and reached for his head and started to thread her fingers through his hair. He was too stunned to do anything. She focused on his hair and played with it with a childish gleam in her eyes. She stood on her knees to get a better reach, which put her chest in front of his face.

"Whoa there, no need to get too close!"

She seemed to come out of her trance and leaned back on her calves, just looking at him. He suddenly got the feeling of her seeing through him to his soul. She smiled brightly, but suddenly stood with a look of alert. She then scooped up Toriko and ran. Just in time to avoid being caught in a battle between the giant cat and an equally large ape thing. She sifted him to be on her back while she ran and jumped through the trees.

Toriko can see a desert coming up and cactuses everywhere. He looked at her bare feet to see hard, hot, packed dirt. He stared at her feet and skin in amazement as they changed. It became smooth scales, talons for nails, and callouses covering her feet. But he also noticed that, his body felt lighter and he was sweating a lot in the extreme dry heat. She must have noticed because he stopped and dropped him. He landed on his rump.

"Hey what was that for!"

He looked at her in agitation. She just stared at him, cold and hard. She motioned with her hands in a 'follow me' kind of gesture and turned to walk. Her talon-ed feet clicking on the ground. Toriko smirked

"Oh, I get it. I got to things on my own now. Alright, fine with me."

He followed her. They came back to the forest. His body felt like a ton of bricks now. He fell to one knee when he stumbled to a tree to rest. He looked at her with a little admiration as her skin changed back to normal, at least what he considered normal anyways. She looked at him sharply when he plopped down at the base of the tree. Then it was misty all of a sudden.

Toriko looked around quickly to see if he could see his companion, no one. Then there were huge droplets raining down replacing the mist. He then saw her dancing around the water bullets from the tree, avoiding each and every one of them. He curled into a ball to see if it would help him from the barrage of attacks.

He looked for her again but she was gone. He then saw a curtain of showering water and crawled towards it and out from the deadly shower of death from the tree. He was half way out when he saw her staring down a green beaked dinosaur toad thing. The thing looked frightened at her, but when it looked at him, it charged.

He leaped away so it could run into the deadly rain, but it came back unharmed. He glanced at the silent female to see her only watching with dead eyes, waiting probably. He turned back to the dinosaur toad thing.

'So this is the Gormet World, I should have known that they would give me such a warm welcome.'

It was about to attack when it was suddenly knocked. Toriko looked at the female, seeing surprise in her features. The toad things fell over. Then, they softened into a smile and jogged happily at the person walking at them. The man smiled too as she hugged him. Then he turned his lax smile towards him. In a serious voice he said this,

"I give up drinking whenever I'm in the Gormet World. You'll find that preparation is everything here, Toriko."

He chuckled and the female giggled as she followed the man closer to Toriko. Toriko was surprised to find the old man drunkard from the train here, and looking young. The knocking master Jiro.

Jiro explained what the creature was and its pack always being near for its better protection. Just as he said that, the pack came running at them. Jiro flexed and brought out knocking rifles. The female went tense for battle.

"Come on Kagome, let's go," Jiro exclaimed as they went into the fray.

"O-kay," came the reply, but the wording sounded foreign on her tongue, like she hasn't spoken the language before or any language at all.

In a few minutes, the hoard of things were defeated by both of their knocking. Jiro's knocking rifle and the female's, now named Kagome, bare hands. Kagome's skin turned to a gray color as riveting small plates moved along with her movements. Giving a look of rocks working together to form one single, full bodied armor made of hard stone.

Afterwards, they traveled to a cave that Jiro explained to Toriko that was Kagome's dwellings. In the back of the cave were pelts of fur, probably for a bed. The sides were covered in roots of the tree above for shelves filled with wooden and stone bowls and cups of something that, Toriko smell and was about to looked in, but was smacked at the hand by Kagome with a stern face, but surprisingly warm eyes. In the middle was a pit full of wood with a stand over it and a slab of stone next to it on the ground to cook meat with. Toriko looked up to see a hole in the ceiling for the smoke to escape but at the top and above the hole was a tree stand tree to keep the rain form coming in through there. A few jugs were to the other side of the cave and smelled of water.

The entrance was a huge boulder that had to be moved to get in. Toriko watched as Kagome opened it before closing it behind Toriko and Jiro. She spoke in broken words. She seemed to struggle with speaking.

"I - will – hunt. Then – we – eat – and"

She seemed at a loss for words and just sighed, but Jiro comforted her.

"Thank you Kagome. We'll see you when you get back."

Kagome smiled brightly and closed the entrance shut. It was quiet and dark in the cave. Toriko could feel the homey-ness of the place and the coolness of it from the slight heat from outside. It soothed him from the dangers outside. He jumped a bit when Jiro spoke.

"Now then why don't we start a fire for some light? I'm sure Kagome will come back with some tasty meat for us to cook."

"Uh sure, I wouldn't mind."

Toriko followed the smell of fire wood ashes in the fire pit and snapped his fingers to get the flame started. He relaxed ever so slightly and looked at Jiro across from the fire. A question has been bugging him since he met Kagome as he stared at Jiro.

"Now don't be staring at me like that, if you want to know about Kagome then just ask while she is still not here."

He was surprised but asked anyways.

"So who is she?"

Jiro sighed with a bit of sadness.

"Have you ever heard of the Century Being Flower, Toriko?"

"Uh, I guess, but the information I have is a bit fuzzy in the memory, why?"

Just as he asked, it clicked.

"No way"

"Oh, yes. She is one of them. I bet you were wondering why she isn't cruel."

"Well, I guess"

"Well, I said it wrong since she is cruel when it comes to surviving out here, but it is because she is female that she is being so nice. That and she is in her mid-twenties."

"Whoa there, hold up! What do those variables have to do with anything being nice like this?"

"Well it's because of being a woman, she will have maternal instincts to care for the wounded and young, but can be quiet cruel to see if you can survive and pass her test to make you worthy of those instincts. Plus with you being male, she has to see if you would fit her quota."

"Her quota? What's that?"

"Heh, she may still be young from being 100 years old, but that doesn't stop the females from looking for suitable males to be with. I'm not in her quota since I had a son with another and as I stand more a fatherly figure for her. But you, on the other hand show some promise to her so she will be hunting to try and impress you with the quality of the meat she will be hunting."

"Uh, I'm, not sure about that. I don't really know her and she can't really speak well."

"That's because you are the only other human being, besides me of course that had made contact with her. She was born and raised here all her life so she has never had anyone's contact to relate to, to speak properly."

"oh"

That was when Kagome came back with meat finely marbled and tender. It was already skinned and cleaned when she came in. At first, she was undecided as to who to serve first, but picked Jiro for the fatherly figure – the head of the family. She got even more impressed with how much Toriko could eat. Both she and Toriko could eat the same amount.

That was when, when Toriko was relaxed, got startled when the on-coming attack from Jiro was aiming at Kagome, but she was ready for it even when before it wasn't even coming for her. She blocked it and was tense for battle at any moment. Jiro and Toriko were talking about the Gromet world and having being alert. Kagome was an example of that.

"See, even in her own home, Kagome is always alert. She knows that we are friendly but she trusts her instincts to know when an attack is coming. She protects herself from even us.

Kagome warily sat back down. Then she looked to be relaxed, but now that Toriko was studying her, he came tell that there was a reflexive tension underneath the calm. He then saw that she sat straighter with her chin slightly up more, almost like preening- oh.

He looked away and continues to talk to Jiro. Kagome almost visibly deflated.

They discussed the areas that Toriko traveled through and with Kagome, Jiro translating the unspoken words from her, the entirety of the plain existence, in her attempt to impress him with her knowledge. After the talk of Toriko needing to trust Komatsu more, Jiro made a request for Toriko.

"If I may ask of you, can you take Kagome with you to see the human world?"

Kagome perked up at this, excited to see where her father figure lives and experience new things. Toriko was surprised but agreed to it.

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

On the way to the 6 star rated restaurant where Komatsu works at, Kagome was in awe at the world around her and also tense. There were so many people. She wasn't used to this. Toriko kept a hand on her shoulder just in case, it calmed her a little and she beamed at him for his attention. There were some complaints about her clothes and no shoes thing, but a few words from Toriko got that problem solved.

Kagome stood behind Toriko to the side a bit, suggesting her as a ward to any on looker. She heard him say food and her stomach growled a bit. She smiled but it fell when a man shorter than her leaped at Toriko. She did hear partner, so she probably got the wrong idea.

We'll see how this works out next time.

I hope you guys like it! I had this idea when I was watching Toriko and since I have always loved InuYasha, I decided to create this crossover! XD
