Disclaimer: I don't own them. Great.

This is my first real fic. Tell me if I should continue. I don't care if there's spelling mistakes. I'm tired.
It's 1:00 a.m. I go to school tomorrow. I should be in bed...



CHAPTER 1: Destination Unknown




"Hey, Gene! How about this job?"

"Read it to me, Jim."

The little boy grinned. "I found this one over the internet. A man who describes himself as a seven feet tall
monkey wants a white haired Japanese half dog youkai-half human dead."

"How much does it pay?" Gene Starwind, Twillight Sauuka, and Aisha Clan-Clan asked, all at once.

"He's willing to pay as much as one million wong plus a thing called the Shikon no Tama for the death."

"ONE MILLION!?!" screamed Gene and Aisha.

"What's a 'Shikon no Tama?" asked Melfina, seemingly coming out of nowhere.

"I thought someone would never ask..." began Suzuka.

"The Shikon no Tama is a jewel dating back to ancient Japan. In the 15th or 16th centary AD, a miko by the
name of Kikyou kept it and protected it. Youkai everywhere wanted it because it could bring all sorts of power
to them. To a normal human like you and I, it was pretty worthless, I guess.

"Getting back to the miko, Kikyou was killed and had the Shikon no Tama burned with her body. So the Shikon
no Tama was never taken by a youkai. I wonder if this man has a Stoneflower."

Jim asked her what a "Stoneflower" was. "It's basically just a fake."

________________


After a few minutes worth of talking, Gene decided to find the seven feet tallmonkey and take the job.

________________


The group went to the place indicated by the website. It was a nasty, dirty motel in the middle of nowhere. The
dark night and the denching rain made the place even more depressing and, atleast to Melfina and Jim (who
wouldn't admit it), a little scary.

Okay, maybe more than a little scary...downright frightening.

But to Gene Starwind, this place was nothing. Even Aisha Clan-Clan was beginning to get scared. Suzuka just
kept her "Suzuka Cool (TM)."

"Alright, Room 136. Here it is." Gene knocked on the door.

"I guess no one's home!" Aisha grinned. "Let's go!"

The door opened up. A young, depressing little girl youkai appeared. She had long, white hair and a couple
of flowers in her hair and wore a plain-looking white kimono with several little bows. She held a litte mirror in
her hands. "Are you here to answer the advertisment?" Gene nodded. "Come along. Lord Naraku-sama is
waiting." She turned around and looked back. "Only one of you can come."

"I shall come," replied Suzuka. And with that, she left with the pale, youkai girl.

"So, what makes you think you can kill Inuyasha? He's a lot stronger than you might think." Yes, this thing
appeared to be a seven foot tall monkey.

"I am an assasin. I am the best swordsman around. My group consists of myself, a bounty hunter who can
shoot and kill anything, the best C'tarl C'tarl fighter, and an extremely smart young boy who can figure out
anything," replied Suzuka.

"What about the other girl?" he asked.

"She is our, uh, navigator."

"I see."


________________


Meanwhile, the rest of the group got to hang with the little pale girl!



"So, what's your name?" asked Gene.

"Kanna."

"Wanna go out with Jim. He's about your age!"
"Shut up Gene!"
"Hey, come on...you know you wanna!"
"I do not!"
"Do too!"

"I hate humans."

Everyone looked at the little youkai girl.

"GOOD THING I'M NOT HUMAN!" Aisha began to laugh.

"I'm not, either," Melfina said quietly.

________________


The door opened and Suzuka smiled. "We've got the job. Come on in."

The group and the pale girl followed behind.

"I think they won't be able to kill him, Lord Naraku-sama," said Kanna harshly.

"Kukuku, I think she can,"Naraku said, pointing at Sazuka. "Come with me to the time machine." They followed
him to a capsule thing in one of the bedrooms. He calmly threw them all in there and pressed a couple of
buttons. "You will get your reward once you're done! KUKUKU!!!!"

________________


"Where are we?" Aisha asked.

Everyone looked around. They were in some kind of forest. It was cold.

"What does the guy look like?" asked Jim.

"I saw no picture of the man, but he's supposed to be half human-half youkai," Suzuka began. "He's got long
white hair and white dog ears on top of his head. He wears a horribly tacky bright red kimono you can see a
mile away. He has a girl dressed in a green and white school outfit, and houshi, a kitsune, and a youkai
exterminator that follow him around."

"You mean him over there," said Melfina, pointing at Inuyasha and Co.
