Chapter One: Confessions and Introductions
It was another day in the lives of Inuyasha and his friends. They had just finished battling Naraku's latest demon incarnation, which had looked like a cross between a tiger and a wolf. The monster had made the mistake of lunging at Kagome, and Inuyasha had sent it to the netherworld with a dead-on hit from his Backlash Wave. The beast had tried to fire a burst of demonic energy from its mouth, and so Inuyasha had unleashed the Backlash Wave, sending the monster's own energy back at it, ripping it to pieces. They'd found another shard of the Shikon Jewel to add to their collection. The group had found themselves a campsite, since it was beginning to get dark. Kagome rolled out the sleeping bags and started up a fire to cook dinner, Shippo and Kirara went to the nearby river to catch fish, while Miroku went with Sango to bring back firewood. Sesshomaru was off somewhere in the distance, scouting the area for any threats. In the meantime, Inuyasha was giving Kagome a hand with the sleeping bags. Once they were all set up, Kagome turned to him and said, "Thank you, Inuyasha. I really appreciate the help." Inuyasha turned to face the lovely raven-haired girl, and he replied, "Kagome, there's...something I wanna tell you..something that's been on my mind for a long time now." She sat down next to him by the campfire, and once she'd snuggled up against him, she asked, "What is it, Inuyasha?" He looked up at the sky for a few minutes, and then he replied, "Kagome, I used to tell myself that after what happened to Kikyo at the hands of Naraku...I could never let another woman get close to me...that's why I used to be so distant. Now that we've been together for the past two years...I can't fight these feelings any longer. Kagome...I love you. I've loved you for the longest time, but I just don't want anything to happen to you." She kissed him, and then she replied, "Inuyasha, as long as I'm with you, I know nothing's gonna happen to me. You'll always be here to keep me safe, just like you have since we started travelling together. I love you too, Inuyasha." The two of them were about to kiss, when an ear-piercing scream split the calm of the night.
Miroku and Sango returned to the campsite, as did Shippo and Kirara. Sesshomaru came in just seconds later, followed by his young human ward named Rin. The small black-haired girl was followed by Jaken, the small green imp that served as Sesshomaru's retainer, and the two-headed dragon Ah-Un. Sango said, "Inuyasha, what was that?" The half-demon replied, "Sounds like someone needs help. You guys stay here...this demon doesn't seem to be that strong. I'll kill it and be right back." Kagome kissed Inuyasha, and then she said, "Be careful, Inuyahsha." He took her hands in his, and said, "Don't worry, Kagome...no scrawny little demon's gonna turn me into their next meal." Inuyasha took off, and Kagome got dinner going.
In a clearing not too far away…
Five young girls, along with their male teammate, and two felines, were busy dodging an enormous demon, one which seemed to be very determined to turn the group into its next meal. One of the girls, a tall brunette, suddenly called out, "JUPITER THUNDER CRASH!!" A bolt of lightning emerged from her hands and sped towards the demon, only to have the creature dodge. The blast blew a nearby rock into dust, and the girl cursed "Damn…this thing's fast…SERENA, QUIT BEING SUCH A COWARD AND HELP OUT, WOULD YA?!" Serena, known to her teammates as Sailor Moon, replied, "I-do I have to…it's so…big!" A small black-furred cat with a crescent moon-shaped mark on her forehead, replied, "Serena, this is no time to be cowering…the other Sailor Scouts need you…get out there and start acting like a leader!" Turning to face the cat, Serena replied, "Luna, how do you suggest I deal with that beast?" Luna replied, "Use your tiara, of course!" Reluctantly, Sailor Moon emerged from hiding, and the demon said, "Ahh…fresh meat!"
Pulling off her tiara, Serena called out, "MOON TIARA MAGIC!!" This attack had spelt certain doom for many of the Sailor Scouts' foes, but the demon simply laughed it off. Serena's eyes went wide, and then Sailor Mars stepped in. Known to her friends as Raye Hino, the young raven-haired girl called out, "MARS FIRE…IGNITE!!" She was joined shortly after by Ami Mizuno, the blue-haired girl known as Sailor Mercury, with her signature attack of, "MERCURY AQUA MIST!!" The remaining Sailor Scout, Sailor Venus, known to her friends as Mina Aino, was a blond like Serena, only much more serious. She called out, "VENUS CRESCENT BEAM!!" The beast seemed to actually stagger back, and then a rose hit it in the left eye, partially blinding it. Serena's boyfriend Darien, a tall, black haired man dressed in a mask and tux, which gave him his alter-ego of Tuxedo Mask, turned to Serena and said, "Now Sailor Moon…finish it!!" Serena hurled her tiara again, and this time, it wounded the monster, enraging it. It charged forward, only to stop short as a tall silver-haired boy with dog-like ears and wearing a red kimono jumped out of a tree, and said, "You know, you think you're all big and bad, pickin' on a bunch of humans…why don't you try fighting me, you ugly freak?!" The huge creature looked like a mix between a snake and a bird, with huge horns on it's cobra-like head, and it snarled out, "Very well then…I'll eat you first, and then the little girls and the cats…not to mention the boy who ruined my eye!!"
The demon unleashed a blast from his horns, but Inuyasha simply dodged. Serena was astounded by the new arrival's speed. Time and again, he jumped into the air, and eventually, slashed a large wound in the beast's hide when he yelled, "IRON REAVER SOUL STEALER!!" Inuyasha's claws could tear clean through metal, so the demon's hide was no match for him. Enraged, the beast fired another blast, and Inuyasha pulled out his sword, the Tetsusaiga. Created from the fang of Inuyasha's long-dead father, the powerful sword had saved Inuyasha and his friends on many occasions, and it was now that Tetsusaiga would end this demon's existance. Inuyasha called out, "BACKLASH WAVE!!" A huge blast of energy erupted from the sword's blade, and the combination of Inuyasha's attack, and the monster's own reflected attack, tore the demon apart in a blinding flash of light. When it was all over, the Sailor Scouts all looked at Inuyasha with expressions of relief and gratitude, none more so than Sailor Moon. She said, "Oh thank you…thank you…I'm too young to die…and far too pretty to end up as demon food." Inuyasha said, "Would ya let go of me…I've already got a girlfriend. Speaking of which, why don't I take ya all back to our campsite. You can rest up, have a bite to eat, and then we can figure out how ya got here, and how to get you back home." Raye and Lita smiled, and Serena replied, "Sounds good…I'm starving!" Raye remarked, "Like that's anything new…" Serena shouted, "SHUT UP, RAYE!!" In response, Raye stuck out her tongue and replied, "You first, meatball head." Inuyasha growled, causing the two of them to quickly ditch the argument. When calm had been restored, the group set off to rejoin Kagome and the others.
Back at the campsite…
Shippo and Rin were drawing together, using crayons that Kagome had brought with her. Miroku and Sango were helping Kagome to prepare the fish, while Kirara kept an eye on Shippo and Rin. Sesshomaru's calm voice broke the quiet, as he announced, "Inuyasha's back…and he's brought some new companions."
Kagome pulled Inuyasha into a hug, which he gladly returned. Relieved to have him back safely, she asked, "Are you alright, Inuyasha?" The half-demon replied, "Fine, just fine. That little demon was nothing. By the way…you've probably noticed that I've got some new companions with me. The demon was tryin' to make a snack out of 'em when I blew it to hell." Kagome walked up to the Sailor Scouts, and she said, "Hi there. I'm Kagome, and my friend here, the one that rescued you, his name's Inuyasha." Shippo hopped up on Kagome's shoulder, and the young Kitsune said, "Hello, I'm Shippo. It's nice to meet you." The next one to introduce himself was a young blue-eyed monk with black hair. He said, "It's a pleasure to meet you, ladies. My name is Miroku…and my lovely companion is named Sango." The afforementioned demon slayer walked up, with her large boomerang slung across her back by the carrying strap. Serena said, "How the…how can you carry that monstrosity?" Sango smiled, and she replied, "Easy…I've been trained to use it since I was about five, so it's almost like a part of my body now. To demonstrate her skill with the weapon, she took aim at a nearby tree, and called out, "HIRAIKOTSU!!" The huge boomerang sailed through the air in a graceful arc, and when it came back, Sango easily caught it with one hand. Kirara meowed from her spot on Sango's shoulder, and Serena said, "Oh wow..she's so cute!! What's her name?" Sango replied, "Her name is Kirara, and she's a firecat demon…not to mention my closest friend aside from Kagome and Miroku." Sesshomaru said, "My name is Sesshomaru, and it pleases me to meet you." Serena said, "He's sure full of himself…" Jaken was enraged at this affront to his lord's honor, and he screamed, "HOW DARE YOU INSULT MY LORD SESSHOMARU, YOU LITTLE TWIT?! YOU SHOULD BE GLAD TO STILL BE DRAWING BREATH!!" Sesshomaru said, "Jaken…thank you." Kagome said, "Watch your mouth, okay? Sesshomaru's not to be trifled with. He's Inuyasha's full-demon half-brother, and a Demon Lord on top of it." Rin came up last, and she said, "My name's Rin. What's yours?" Serena decided that she liked this young girl, and she said, "Hello, Rin. My name's Serena. The black cat is my adv…pet, Luna, and the white one is the…pet of my friend Mina. His name's Artemis." Mina, the other blonde Sailor Scout, stepped up. She said, "I'm Mina…Mina Aino. Hello, Rin." Lita came next, then Raye, and Ami. Finally, Darien introduced himself. He'd removed his costume after the fight, and he now wore a green jacket with black pants. Serena said, "Is there anything to eat around here? I'm starving!" The other Sailor Scouts rolled their eyes, but they said nothing, since they were rather hungry as well.
Once they'd all sat down and picked a kabob of roasted fish, everyone began chatting, mostly about what they planned on doing with their lives. Kagome then asked the big question. She turned to Serena, and said, "What happened that brought you here to the Feudal Era?" The Sailor Scouts gasped, and even the normally calm Darien got a look of surprise on his face. Serena replied, "We'd just taken out another monster sent by Queen Beryl, ruler of the Negaverse. She's after the life force of all humans on Earth, which she plans on using to conquer the world by turning everyone into her zombie slaves. Anyway, we were heading back home, when this weird purple smoke came out of the blue. We lost consciousness, and when we woke up, we were here." That monster that Inuyasha took out showed up, and he demanded that we surrender our powers so he could turn them over to his master."
Sango asked, "Did you see any markings on it..like a weird pattern on its back?" Lita replied, "Actually, yes. It had a mark shaped like a huge spider…almost like a scar." Inuyasha growled out, "Damn…so it was Naraku!!" Ami spoke up just then. She said, "Naraku?" Kagome replied, "He's an evil half-demon made up of a bunch of demons that took over the rotting soul of a human bandit named Onigumo. Fifty years ago, he sold his soul after being badly burned in a fire, and the demons gave him a new, powerful form…Naraku. He set about turning Inuyasha and his friend Kikyo against each other. He took Kikyo's form first and fired arrows at Inuyasha, and then he took Inuyasha's form and mortally wounded Kikyo. She died, taking the Shikon Jewel with her…until it was reborn with me five hundred years later." Raye replied, "Y-you mean…you're Kikyo's reincarnation?" Kagome replied, "Yes..but I'm nothing like her." Inuyasha added, "That's for sure…she's much better than Kikyo." Kagome said, "Anyway..back to Naraku. He's become EXTREMELY powerful, since he's got most of the Shikon Jewel. It's a pink orb-shaped jewel that can amplify one's power greatly, and when it's complete, it can grant the user a single wish…if their heart is pure. Naraku wants to use it to conquer the world…but we're all gonna stop that heinous monster." Serena asked, "What's he done to the rest of you?" Miroku replied, "He cursed my family, starting with my grandfather…with a curse known as the Wind Tunnel. Both my grandfather and my father were consumed by theirs, and my own Wind Tunnel grows slightly larger every year. If Naraku isn't slain…I'll be joining my family in the afterlife." Sango held Miroku's hand, and even Serena, as clueless as she acted sometimes, could see that she loved the monk. She said, "He wiped out my entire family…aside from my younger brother Kohaku, who he now controls with a corrupted Shikon Jewel shard in his back. The only family I have left…is Kirara. She's been at my side since I got her for my third birthday…and she's been in my family for a long time. She's always with me, and believe me..she's a fierce opponent in battle. I fully intend to destroy Naraku and rescue my brother from his grip, no matter what." Kagome put her hands on her friend's shoulders, and she said, "We'll all be here to help, Sango…count on it!" Sango hugged her best friend, and she replied, "Thank you, Kagome…I don't know what I'd do without your friendship." Serena said, "Why haven't you taken him out yet…oh let me guess…you're too weak, right Kagome?" Kagome went rigid, and Shippo said, "Uh-oh…this is gonna get ugly!" Kagome walked up to Serena and shouted, "DON'T YOU CALL ME WEAK, YOU BLONDE DITZ!! I'VE REDUCED WHOLE HOARDES OF DEMONS INTO DUST, AND I ALMOST KILLED NARAKU NOT ONCE…BUT TWICE!! HE RUNS LIKE A COWARD AT THE LAST SECOND!! IF YOU CALL ME 'WEAK' ONE MORE TIME, I'M GONNA BELT YOU SO HARD, YOUR HEAD'S GONNA RING FOR A WEEK!"
Serena replied, "Go ahead, hit me with your best shot." Kagome reared her fist back and socked Serena, sending the blonde sprawling. She picked herself up and charged at Kagome, and when she went to throw a punch, Sango caught it, and pinned the girl to a tree. Serena tried to pull free, but Sango was easily twice as strong, and a highly skilled fighter. Her brown eyes blazed with anger, as she said, "You try and punch my friend again, and I'll feed you to Kirara." Serena looked fit to bust a gut, as she regarded the small two-tailed feline. She was roughly the size of Luna and Artemis, and so she replied, "That little fuzzball…she's just a kitten!" Sango said, "Kirara, transform!" The firecat meowed, and then a wall of fire engulfed her form. When it cleared, a huge saber-fanged cat stood there, with fire wreathing her tails and paws. Her fangs were massive, easily two feet long, and she was larger than most horses. She strode up to Sango's side, and gently rubbed her massive head against the demon slayer, purring. She then faced Serena, and growled menacingly, her fangs less than half an inch from her face. Serena paled, and then Kagome said, "Inuyasha…let me have your beads…I've got a plan for Meatball Head." Inuyasha smiled, and then Kagome removed the beads. She walked over to Serena, and while Sango held the girl in place, she slid them around her neck. After she and Sango backed off, Kagome shouted, "SIT, MEATBALL HEAD…SIT!!" The blonde was face-planted into the ground, making a small hole. She groaned out, "Oh..god that hurts…" Sango said, "That'll teach you to insult my best friend, you ditz!"
A short time later, everyone got ready for bed. Kagome said, "After we have breakfast tomorrow, we'll head for Kaede's village. She's a good friend of ours, and you can all stay at the village until we can find a way to get you home. The Sailor Scouts agreed, and then they all fell asleep. Tomorrow was going to be a busy day for all of them.
Next Chapter: The group travels to Kaede's village, and once Kaede is informed of the circumstances which left Serena and her group in the Feudal Era, she kindly allows them to stay in the village. Intent on helping out, the Sailor Scouts all find a way to pitch in. Meanwhile, Naraku dispatches a hoarde of his demonic soldiers to attack the village, and it's up to Inuyasha's group and the Sailor Scouts to protect the villagers. Can they emerge victorious?
