Disclaimer: xXxTickleMeEmoxXx doesn't own Naruto or Inuyasha even though she would kill herself if she had to in order to own them, but she knows that it'll only happen when hell freezes over...But she does own Kiyone. And Stephano Hungary owns Ryoko Waizu and Hakari.
--------------------------------------------------
- Chapter 1: Dog Ears! -
"Well, now that that's over with...We had better get back to HQ and give Itachi that dreaded report." Ryoko said with an exasperated sigh. A wolf trotted up beside her and sat down at Ryoko's feet as the kunoichi kneeled down to pet her.
"Let's ditch this place Hakari." She said. Hakari barked happily and licked Ryoko's cheek. They both darted off, leaving the dead corpses of Sound Nins behind.
Ryoko Waizu is a 15 year old kunoichi, and she is one of the very few who became part of the Akatsuki. Her story and past, we'll reveal later.
Her outfit consists of a black jacket with a fishnet shirt underneath and black capris, accompanied by fingerless black gloves, a fishnet choker, and a headband from the Village Hidden in the Mist around her waist, but the only difference is a horizontal mark across it, indicating that she was a member of the Akatsuki.
Hakari, on the other hand, had a white "x" shape that covers her snout, eyes, and chin. She also has a large white smudge on her chest, and her paws are all white as well.
On their way back to the Akatsuki hideout for their next mission, Ryoko spotted two shadowed figures fighting a large demon. One looked like a boy around the age of 17 wearing a red old-fashioned kimono, (A/N - -cough cough- M.C. Hammer pants -cough cough-) while the other had the figure of a girl of the same age--who was wearing a tighter, black and red kimono-- and they both had...
"DOG EARS?" Ryoko yelled loudly.
The female immediately looked in Ryoko's direction and got the boy's attention.
"Hey Inuyasha! Look! A human...And a wolf!" She said.
"Look, we don't have time for that right now!" Inuyasha spat. "We've got bigger problems!"
"Okay, okay! Don't blow a fuse, sheesh!"
"Heh. All right, that's it! I'm tired of this guy! WIND SCAR!" Inuyasha cried.
Suddenly, a bright yet destructive aura came from Inuyasha's big-ass sword and raced towards the demon.
"Whoa...pretty lights..." Ryoko said in wonder as she sat on a tree branch. She then shook her head and studied the attack quickly but carefully. Ryoko jumped down and ran along side the aura with amazing speed.
"This won't be enough to take out that demon...Looks like these guys could use some help. HAKARI!" She shouted to her partner in crime.
Hakari ran on the other side of Inuyasha's Wind Scar. "Bark Bark!" (A/N - Howling Wolf Jutsu)
All of a sudden, a blue/white aura formed from Hakari's mouth and combined with the Wind Scar.
"All right then, now it's my turn! Fire Style, Fireball Jutsu!" Ryoko said. She put her first two fingers together and put them to her thumb, then her mouth. A fireball formed from her mouth and combined with the Wind Scar also. It then collided with the demon and destroyed it.
"Ah, it burns! IT BURNS!!!!" The demon cried in agony as it was being blown to bits.
"Okay kid, who are you, and what do you want?" Inuyasha questioned irritably.
"Hey, I'm not a kid! I'm 15, thank you!" Ryoko said with an triumphant look on her face.
"Uh-huh...So...Ya mind telling us who you are?" Inuyasha said while crossing his arms.
"Huh? Oh, oh yeah! Ryoko Waizu, at you're service!" Ryoko said, bowing. She opened one of her eyes and saw that Hakari was looking into the distance.
"Hey, Hakari! Work with me here!" Ryoko said through her teeth. Hakari came back to earth and laid down with her head on her paws.
Ryoko straightened up and put a big grin on her face. "What're your names?"
The girl stepped forward towards Ryoko and outstretched her hand.
"Hi, I'm Kiyone, and this is Inuyasha." Kiyone looked at Inuyasha, who was looking away, and jabbed him in the ribs.
"Say hello, Inuyasha." She hissed.
"Ow! ...Hey." Inuyasha reluctantly said. He glanced down at Hakari and pointed at her.
"Hey, that wolf isn't like one of Koga's, is she?" Inuyasha yelled.
"She doesn't look like it. The cutie's a lot tamer, plus she's prettier then those homely mutts of his." Kiyone said while she knelt on the ground and scratched behind Hakari's ears.
"I have a question. Where the hell are we?" Inuyasha asked Ryoko.
"You guys aren't from around here...Are you?" Ryoko asked, noticing their clothes. Kiyone laughed a little.
"How could you tell?"
"Well, first, you don't know heads or tails of where you are, and second...you're clothes." Ryoko pointed out.
"Oh. Yeah." Kiyone said, feeling stupid.
"Sooooooooo...Why do you guys have dog ears? And why are you wearing kimonos?" Ryoko questioned.
"Well we--"
"And why is your hair silver?" Ryoko asked Inuyasha. She then went to Kiyone.
"And why is your's black with silver streaks? Are you stressed out and/or getting old? Because I read that if you get stressed out a lot, your hair tends to get a silver color faster, even if you're not old yet." Ryoko nodded quickly. Kiyone and Inuyasha looked at each other, then back at Ryoko.
"...Wha?" Inuyasha said, obviously confused. Ryoko looked at Inuyasha's eyes, then Kiyone's.
"Whoa! Your eyes are cool! Why are your's gold? And why are your's red? I've always wanted to get red contacts, but Itachi won't let me, since his eyes are red too because of the Sharingan and everything. Oh cool, you guys have fangs! Are you part vampire or something? Because it's not every day that you see someone with fangs." She said in a flurry or words. She faced Inuyasha.
"Dude, why is your hair so long? And why are your nails all long and pointy even though you're a guy? Oh, I get it!" Ryoko said.
"Girly man!" She said in a voice that sounded similar to Arnold Schwarzenegger's accent.
Inuyasha's eye started twitching and he crossed his arms.
"If you're implying that I'm gay, then you are COMPLETELY insane! I am not gay in any way...Unlike Jakotsu. God, that guy scared the living crap outta me!" Inuyasha shuddered. Kiyone patted his back in a loving way, trying to get his mind away from the events that scarred him so back at Mt. Hakurei.
"It's ok, Inuyasha...Jakotsu's dead...He's not gonna come back and molest you like he did in your nightmares." She said.
"But it seemed so real! So much soap...Make it stop, Kiyone, make it stop!" Inuyasha wailed. Ryoko and Hakari looked at the two as if to say, 'WTF is going on?'. Inuyasha stopped bawling and looked at Ryoko, then out of embarrassment, stood up and said,
"You didn't see that." Kiyone just blushed and scratched her head.
So, for the next 5 minutes, the four just stood there, staring at each other, not moving a muscle, nor saying a word. Until...Ryoko's stomach growled as if there was a rabid tiger nearby.
"Welp, I'm hungry. Let's go get some grub!" Ryoko said with a toothy grin.
"But we told you, we don't know anything about this place." Kiyone commented.
"Ah, don't worry, I know this land like the back of my hand! Besides, we're having ramen in Konoha, my treat! And deer meat for Hakari on the way!" Ryoko announced.
"RAMEN!" Kiyone and Inuyasha cheered.
"So...How did you guys get here anyways?" Ryoko asked curiously.
"Well, we were fighting the adamant demon, Hosenki, for the last shard if the Shikon Jewel, or the Jewel of Four Souls..."
-Flashback-
"INUYASHA!"
Inuyasha was falling, a trail of blood behind him. Everyone was at the Great Dog Demon's grave, fighting the adamant demon, Hosenki, who was possessed by a Jewel Shard. The only problem was, the shard was turning black. Inuyasha had been caught off guard, and was hit with projectiles that Hosenki had shot at him.
"Inuyasha!" Kiyone dove after him with no hesitation, hoping that he was ok.
"Fire!" She shouted. Kiyone waved over the blade of her hand over her sword and the blade became engulfed in flames as she landed on the ground.
Kagome's cries could be heard from above. "INUYASHA!!!"
"Jeez Kagome, shut up! You could hear her all the way from Nagasaki! Sheesh..." Kiyone said to herself as she covered her ears. She then spotted a red blob about 50 feet away from her on the ground.
"Inuyasha..."
-With the others-
'Inuyasha...No, he can't be...' Kagome thought to herself as her eyes brimmed with tears. It was then a purple/red blob came from the sky to where they were.
"Naraku!" Miroku shouted. Naraku took form and as always, he protected by a barrier. (A/N - COWARD!)
"Kukukukuku...So Inuyasha has finally met his end...How convenient." Naraku laughed. He extended his fingers and began to reach toward the shard. They were about to penetrate the adamant armor when a great aura surrounded by tendrils of fire shot up from below.
"Isn't that Inuyasha's Wind Scar?" Miroku questioned.
"And Kiyone's magic!" Shippo added hopefully.
"Someone here is going to meet his end, and it ain't gonna be me, Naraku!" Came a voice from below. Kagome's eyes lit up with hope.
"Inuyasha!" She said happily. A skeleton bird came up from the mist with Inuyasha and Kiyone standing on its back.
Inuyasha jumped off and landed on a rock formation.
"Naraku, we've had enough of you and your scheming! If you think you're getting that shard, then I'm afraid you're horribly mistaken!" Kiyone shouted. Tetsusaiga started to glow a deep red as Inuyasha got ready to use the Wind Scar.
"Darkness!" Kiyone said. Her sword turned pitch black as an orb began to form at the tip of the blade.
"WIND SCAR!"
"DARK DEVOTION!"
Inuyasha's Wind Scar and Kiyone's Dark Devotion combined and hit Naraku head on, but he deflected it, engulfed it with a demonic aura, and sent it back to Inuyasha.
"Great...BACKLASH WAVE!" Inuyasha sent the huge mass of demonic aura back to Naraku, but with double the power. The attack connected, but when the light show was over, Naraku nor his barrier had been affected at all.
"What?" Inuyasha yelled incredulously.
"Inuyasha, look! The shard!" Kiyone said. The shard was floating in the air, and it started to glow a deep purple and black.
"What's going on with the shard, Miroku?" Sango questioned.
"It looks as if its opening a portal to somewhere..." Miroku said half to himself. Miroku's guess was correct, as the shard opened a small portal.
"Inuyasha, we have to go after it! It's transporting itself to a different place!" Kiyone said.
Naraku took this chance and went through the portal, chasing after the shard.
"Oh no you don't, Naraku!" Inuyasha said as he jumped off of the rock and through the portal, with Kiyone following close behind. The portal was closing, and fast as everyone else tried to follow, but when they were about to pass through, it disappeared.
-End Flashback-
"And poof, we're here in your world." Kiyone ended. Ryoko's eyes were wide with excitement.
"Wwwwooooowwww...Awesome!" Ryoko said as she threw her arms into the air.
"And I thought that the Shikon Jewel was just a myth, but it turns out that it's real! This is so cool!"
Kiyone's stomach growled.
"Yeah, let's just keep moving. I'm starving!" Kiyone complained.
"Sure thing." Ryoko said.
"So how did you guys get mixed up with this Naraku guy anyways?" Ryoko asked.
"Well, Inuyasha and I used to live in the same village as kids. His mother took me in since Naraku killed my parents when I was just an infant." Kiyone said.
"And when I turned 15, I went to go travel, and left everyone at the village." Inuyasha said.
"Shortly after, Naraku ambushed Akuryou Village and destroyed it. I wanted revenge, so I sought out to find him, but then I was kidnapped by some people who needed a strong fighter. Their leader was a demon who could cast spells to use mind control over whoever he wanted, and he cast it on me.
I became an assassin, killing anyone he wanted me to kill, and that was a lot too. I became the most feared being in all of Japan, and the fact that I'm a half demon didn't matter. The spell began to wear off after a few months and I finally was able to regain consciousness. I was so infuriated at that demon for making me an assassin that I walked into his room and just killed him. I met back up with Inuyasha, and I started traveling with him and our friends." Kiyone explained.
"Hmm. Your life as an assassin sounds just like being a shinobi." Ryoko said.
"You mean shinobi...As in a ninja?" Inuyasha asked.
"Yeah. This is a ninja world. As you can see, I'm a ninja also." Ryoko said as she pulled a kunai from her holster.
"Oh, man that's cool!" Kiyone exclaimed.
For the rest of the way, Inuyasha and Kiyone explained to Ryoko about how they were half demons, about Kikyo and the Shikon Jewel, Naraku, how he was connected to everyone, Kagome and the gang, Mt. Hakurei, the Band of Seven, and Tetsusaiga. In turn, Ryoko explained to them about the different villages, chakra, the shinobi ranks, Orochimaru, the Akatsuki, everything that they needed to know in order to fit in.
As she finished up, they came across the gates to Konoha.
"Alright, this is Konohagakure, or Konoha. You know, one of the villages I told you about." Ryoko said.
"Before we go in, you guys have to put these on." She pulled out three headbands from her backpack that bore Konoha's emblem. Ryoko replaced the one on her waist and handed the other two to Kiyone and Inuyasha. Kiyone put hers around her neck, and Inuyasha put his around his left arm...Well he tried to. He had one end in his mouth and the other in his hand, trying to tighten it. Kiyone rolled her eyes and took the one end out of his mouth and tied it to the other one.
"Ewww...dog slobber." She groaned. Ryoko giggled and pushed open the gates...
