Summary: After odd energy signals are reported in the never-world, sixteen year old Yusuke Urameshi is sent to investigate a possible lead of these activities. But requires the help of a young miko known as Kagome Higurashi to get to the bottom of this recent disturbance. Can they put their differences aside, and save all four realms from certain destruction?
I'm just telling you that this won't exactly be in continuity. I'm going to make a few minor changes in this AU. I will be using some of the english dub translations. Also some minor changes with the storyline. Last but not least, I don't mind anyone flaming on my story, as long as it's constructive. With that said, I shall begin. .
Disclaimer: I do not own YuYuHakusho or Inuyasha.
Chapter One: Prologue
One must say that this is a perfect setting for a battlefield. No trees to hide behind. A lightning storm making theperfect mood point.
A silver haired hanyou came charging straight through an open field with the tetsaiga in attack form saying,
"You're all mine Naraku."
"Out of my way mutt face, for that bastard is MINE!" yelled the wolf-demon companion, Koga.
"Fools, as if either of you could beat me at this state"
As Naraku watches the two warriors attempts, he senses something, and quickly turns his head to see a wounded Sesshomaru charging straight for him. He responds by shaping his left hand into a spear, and thrusting it at Sesshomaru.
But is interrupted by a kick to the face, from Koga.
"Take that, Naraku"
"Take what?"
"Damn you"
Skillfully, he turns, and stabs Koga through the chest by using the same attack he was about to use on Sesshomaru.
Taking advantage of this moment of distraction, Sesshomaru uses the force of the tokijin to cut Naraku in half. But Naraku only makes a menacing gesture on his face and says
"If you wanted to join your mortal pet in hell so badly, all you had to do was ask"
Flashback
As Naraku stands staring at a shrine with a dog statue on top of it, Sesshomaru approaches him from behind.
"Has the mighty Sesshomaru been reduced to trembling behind me, without knowing what action to make?"
Sesshomaru unsheathes his sword, tokijin in a ready position. Surprisingly, Naraku still has his back turned. "Why do you insult me by drawing that feeble sword that was once a part of me?" With a smirk on his face, Sesshomaru calmly said, "All of your cowardice combined will not save you this day"
Naraku chuckled and responded , "Careful now, you would not want to kill your human companion" "What?", said a confused Sesshomaru.
Naraku turns around, only to reveal that he has Rin in his arms.
"Twice, you insult me. You think you found me here because I was being careless?"
"Hn"
"Rin darling, kill our guest"
"Yes, Lord Naraku"
Rin hops out of Naraku's arms, and lifts one hand. Out come fire projectiles, as they fly directly at Sesshomaru. Naraku laughs while Sesshomaru is barely able to defend against these fire assaults..
"It's amazing what side effects the jewel can have on someone. Take a miserable human like Rin for example: She cared so much about you accepting her, that she wanted demon blood of her own to flow through her veins. Who am I to upset a little girl? I allowed the jewel to grant her wish, with a price of irony that is. But I'm sure you can figure out the cost, by just using your own imagination."
Sesshomaru continues to barely dodge these attacks.
"Rin, that's enough"
Rin's whole body is engulfed in flames, as she creates a massive fire ball, and shoots directly at Sesshomaru. He tries to defend against it, but is unable to do so this time. The force is too much for him, and he is knocked to the ground, leaving Naraku to laugh.
"Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha! Oh, how the mighty have fallen. What will you do Lord Sesshomaru?"
Sesshomaru eyes turn red, he shows his fangs, and gets up while watching Rin approach him, but changes back to normal when he notices something peculiar about Rin. Tears were flowing out of her eyes.
Again, Rin summons a massive fire ball, and fires it at Sesshomaru. But this time, he cuts through it with the tokijin.
"That scent", said an alarmed Sesshomaru. But just as he is preoccupied, he is immediately hit by Rin's fire attack. Knocking him to the ground again. Looking down upon her former companion, she prepares to deliver the final blow.
"Kill him," goaded Naraku.
Sesshomaru rose from the ground again and looked upon Rin. Rapid tears wereflowing from her eyes: Without hesitation, he rose from the ground, and prepared to attack.
End of flashback
Present day
It all started outside a high school in Tokyo Japan. The school bell rang, and the only person who didn't seem to be participating was a boy with greased up hair, wearing a green jump suit. "Damnit," the boy muttered to himself. "You'd think after winning the whole f-cking dark tournament, I would at least be given a fully paid vacation. But instead, I just wind right back in this stupid f-ckinh place," the boy grumbled. "Stupid school, Stupid town."
The boy sighed, and decided to skip school as he did most of the time. Though now, there seemed to be more behind the boy skipping school, than that he just did not feel like going. He had recently been dumped by his lifelong girlfriend Keiko, who just wanted to be friends from now on. Of course, Yusuke pretended not to care, but deep down, he was heartbroken over this.
"Wonder what's on TV," the boy said. Minutes later, he opened the door to the apartment he lived at, relaxed himself on his couch, and flipped the TV on with a remote. As he was channel surfing, he heard his mother talking on the phone in the next room. The phone conversation was in high spirits, but was past boy's attention. As the phone was placed in the receiver, the boy's mother came out of the room she was in. "Good news Yusuke, we're going on a business trip." "Since when do lowly convenience store employees go on business trips?" Yusuke said with a smirk. And with that, he found himself on the floor, after being punched in the back of the head. Yusuke retorted, "Hey, what did I do?" "We'll be staying at the Higurashi residence, with my highschool friend for a month I think. Yusuke narrowed his eyes and growled"What the hell? I don't have time for silly business trips" "You watch how you talk to your mother."
As they began to argue, Yusuke noticed a blue haired woman waving at him, who happened to be sitting on an oar outside the 10 story window. Quickly, he suggested his mother call his school to tell them he would not be participating school for the duration of the future vacation (not that it mattered if he attended or not).
As she went into the next room to make the phone call, Yusuke opened the window, the blue haired women was waiting "Dumbass, you know she doesn't know what you truly are. Why the hell didn't you use the friggin stairs, Botan?" "Sorry Yusuke, but Koenma requested your presence in his office immediately."
Tell the toddler to shove that request up his ass"
"But Yusuke..."
"But nothing. I'm about fed up with saving the world every other month, without so much as one red cent."
Botan sighed and said, "Fine, I'll see if he can squeeze in a fully paid vacation for all of your hard work. "Then what are we waiting for, lets go" Yusuke was more than happy to hop onto Botan's oar, and go to see what Koenma wanted. But getting paid was not the only inspiration. But also the possibility that Koenma's request could turn into a mission, and a mission could take his mind off Keiko.
#Spirit World/Reiki#
As Botan and Yusuke landed near Koenma's palace, Yusuke commented on how such a big palace is ruled by such a small ruler. Botan only shrugged.
Yusuke and Botan walked through Koenma's door, only to notice Kurama and Kuwabara waiting. Yusuke smirked "Since when are you important enough to be dragged to Spirit world under Koenma's request, Kuwabara?" "As the great Kuwabara, I was important enough to be called here first, Urameshi. "Didn't you get the memo? You were supposed to be going to the stupid convention 5 rooms down"
Yusuke interrupted Kuwabara's self-assurance, and Kuwabara raised his head and responded with a growl. Botan quickly stood betweenthe two men,gently pushing them away from eachother with a peace keeping smile on her face , signaling them both to stop. "Boys Boys, lets not fight"
To get their attention, Koenma noticeably cleared his throat. "As you might have already guessed, I've got a new mission for you and the others to handle." Koenma pushes a button on his desk, and the large wall tv comes on. On it, is a black sphere with constant lightning falling upon it.
"What the hell is that?", said Yusuke. "That, is the neverworld and..:", Yusuke interupted Koenma "So. what the hell is the neverworld?" Koenma sighed "Don't they teach you this stuff in school?" His eyes narrowed "Well, if you did not keep dragging me on these stupid missions, then maybe I would have time to go to school." Botan raised her hand and pointed out "Well you have been skipping school for two weeks now." Yusuke growled "Well after winning the whole dark tournament, of course I would need a break" "The dark tournament was a month ago," said Kurama. Yusuke fell to the ground "Geeze, whose side are you on, Kurama?"
Again, Koenma noticeably cleared his throat. And soon, everyone's attention was on him. "The neverworld is the place where the most vile beings human or demon are sent to if they are too much for any of the other worlds to handle. To keep anyone from escaping that realm, we used nets far more potent than the one that separates the human realm and the demon realm. But there was a price for more powerful nets. With these nets, we are not able to keep surveillance of that world.
Yusuke growled "Whoa, what were you guys thinking? As far as you know, they could already have an elaborate plan for their escape as we speak" Kurama nodded. "I must concur with Yusuke. Had your spirit world guard not been able to patrol makai, working plans for any demon to escape would have been manifested long ago."
Koenma sighed. "You don't get it. The beings sent to the neverworld were far too deadly to be patrolled. The guard might have been more powerful than many of the ones sent there, but they are nowhere near as vicious and/or cunning. We had no choice."
Yusuke shrugged. "So what do you want us do?" "Lately, there have been odd power readings rushing to the center of that realm. Signs such as that usually suggest the destruction of the planet is close. "So isn't that a good thing?" "In this case, no. The neverworld is a whole realm as its own. If it's destroyed, it would put a gap in the balance of nature, then it will most likely cause some kind of chain reaction for the other realms. I need you to investigate that world, and find out what's going on.
"So what are you waiting for? Transport us there." Koenma scratches the back of his head and smiles "Well...that's the other problem. The entrance to the net has become so tainted, that it's out of my power for getting in." So, how the hell do you expect us to get in?" Koenma continues to smile and scratch his head. "Only a miko can purify the entrance." "Keh, so where do we find a miko?" Koenma laughs innocently.
(30seconds later)
"No way"growled Yusuke. " You want me to get a girl that I don't even know to help us on our mission? Like hell, I would" Koenma continues to scratch his head and smile. "But...the spirit world depends on it" Yusuke turns around, and points his finger in the air as if he had an idea. He then turns to Koenma with a smirk on his face. "I just remembered. I promised I would go on a business trip with my mom, and we will be staying at the Higurashi shrine for at least a month" He turns around triumphantly, and begins to walk towards the doors "So it looks like you're going to have to get Kurama or Kuwabara or even Hiei to do it."
Botan and Koenma both bursted into laughing simultaneously. Even Kurama chuckled to himself. Yusuke turns around to growl "Did I miss something?" Botan raises her hand. "Well actually Yusuke, you see the thing is..." Koenma quickly covers her mouth before she can say anything else. "What Botan is trying to say is that we've realized you need a good vacation, so go enjoy yourself."
As Yusuke walks out of the door, Kuwabara is the only one in the room who is confused about what is so humorous.
#One day later#
It was a beautifal morning. The sun was out. The birds sang. The roses blossomed. And a certain raven haired girl was left free to sleep in. Who could say whether she was really awake or not, for her body responded to the repetitive foot movement on the stairway next to her room, but her eyes were still closed, and she remained stationary to the bed she was resting on.
The door to the girls room opened,"Kagome, you're going to be late for school.", said a gentle female voice. The young girl yawned in response to this, and carefully hopped out of her bed, went inside her bathroom to take a shower, and came out in a school uniform, and casually walked down the stairs next to her room, and into the kitchen. The girl sniffed an alluring aroma "Ah, it's good to sleep in a warm bed, have a hot shower, and have breakfast waiting on you."
A very young boy with black hair sat eating at the table. "Is something wrong, sis?" She turned her head to the boy with a smile on her face. "No, why do you ask, Souta." "Oh, no reason." Despite being a kid, even he could understand that there was something on his older sister's mind. The girl looked up at the clock above the stove, and came to the conclusion that she would be late if she had breakfast. "Woops, gotta go."
"Kagome, remember that we will be having guest for the next month or so, so be on your best behavior when you get home" Kagome briefly thought to herself. "Since when is mom warning me to be on my best behaviour? She nods and smiles "I will, bye mom"
As she began making her way to school, she stopped and frowned at the well on her property. "Inuyasha, where are you?"
End of chapter one.
"Until we meet again someday" (ending theme)
As I travel to the stars, it's almost not too far
I try to find you,
but you're nowhere near.
I base my search on just what I hear
My path is lit on your tears.
I will find you
They try to stop me by tearing me apart
Not that it will stop my heart
There are consequences for everything
But I don't care
What I would do to feel your hair.
I will search everywhere
I will find you
I've died once, but I'll die twice if that's what it will take
Such a heavy decision it is to make
In an instant it is made by me
Together one day, we will be
Through the skies I will sore
I will use all of my power, and more
Whatever it takes to have you again
T'ill we meat again some day, my sweet friend
I will find you
Yes Yes, I know it was too short. I'll try to make the next chapters longer. I did not give too many details in this chapter, because it's the prologue. The rest of the chapters won't be like this one, if you catch my drift.
I'm new at this, so would you please help me out by reviewing. Thanks :) Again, I don't mind flaming, as long as it's constructive.
