Disclaimer: I don't own InuYasha or The Avengers.
When falling off a cliff you imagine a horrible slam, before darkness claims your soul. Like in the movies; the hero dies back first, staring up at the disappearing cliff from which you fell from that grows smaller and smaller before it suddenly… is snuffed out. Darkness over the whole screen, like a single candle in a dark room being snuffed out. In my case I fell headfirst after being pushed by that horrible reptile-like demon. Only seeing the water below that seemed to beg to swallow me, and hearing only the wind rushing by my ears, making the calls from InuYasha, Sango, Miroku and Shippo sound hollow. Or, if I remember correctly, I didn't really hear them at all. And who can blame me? Blood pulsing, heart racing, wind howling it's misery. Maybe it was just wish thinking that they would be one of the last things I heard before death embraced me.
I never really remembered the impact though. Only that the water became more easy to see – although kinda see through, I could see bubbles and things swimming in it – and that the sea's voice welcoming me. Then everything, like in the movies, got dark.
-ooo-
My body felt as if Kirara, in her more dangerous and not so cuddly form, had waltzed over me and then performed a Dutch tap-dancing. With other words, it hurt. Groaning and moaning every other second I preformed the normally easy action of pushing me up into a sitting position. When that was accomplished – after more moaning and a little cussing – I cradled my head and sighed loudly.
Now, I knew I had hit water; I was completely drenched and shivering like an aspen tree in October. I was also pretty sure I had a very intimate alga somewhere around my rear area. Imagine the jokes Miroku would haul over me if he saw. Raising my head suddenly, nearly causing a whiplash, I silently wondered; where am I, really?
Not in the Feudal Era, at least; around me were very high-tech monitors, computers and devices, which looked pretty but also dangerously mortal. I chided myself to not get too close to anything in this room.
Thinking that thought over I realized something else; I was in a room! If my teacher in physics and science class had informed me incorrectly, I was supposed to still be in water, at the sea bottom or at least on a cliff or even at a beach. Then how come I had ended up in a room - here I glanced skywards and my blue eyes widened – with a roof, with no sign of having water coming in anywhere? On smooth surface, that resembled a floor?
As I was admiring the roof I heard a sudden clang at my right, which caused me to almost pee myself, as I whipped my head to the perpetrator. What I saw was something more frightening than a demon, and at the same time almost as cool as Sesshomaru had been the first time I saw him – well, before he tried to kill me and InuYasha, anyways.
A tall robot. No kidding – a robot. At least a decimeter taller than me and colored in dark red and striking gold – kind of reminding me, with a wrench at my heart, of InuYasha. Shaking that thought of me I warily continued to stare at it, as if I missed the slightest movement I would lose my arm. Which I probably could if it wasn't a kind natured robot, but what do I know? Always being the one to trust first, question later is deep ditches to take yourself up from.
The most eerily about the robot however, was the blue triangle that shone at its chest, and the equally scary eyes that shone with the same ghastly blue, looking as if it was staring straight at me. But robots were still in the process of being made right? So it couldn't really be real. Right?
With that thought of hope in mind I continued to stare at it, but when it made no move to indicate that it was that that had made the sound earlier I relaxed. For about five seconds.
"Now this is certainly a sweet surprise!" it said as it tilted it's head at me.
Then I took a very important decision. I passed out.
So. Just a sneak-peak of my new story - first crossover! It's possible the characters won't resemble themselves - ? - seeing as I always miss it when the episodes are airing, and Internet at home. Just. Sucks. Be patient with me in the future!
Kindly tell me what you think!
