A/N: It's been what like a year since I was last on this site. I'm back, I don't know if that's good or bad but I'm back. I might be a little rusty so bare with me, and don't kill me. Anyway it's my second attempt at an Inuyasha and X-men cross over but I personally think this will be somewhat better than my first; it's not all about once character only and that one character isn't the strongest being in history, actually no one character is. Just to warn you, characters may be out of character and if you're a strict fan of X-men the uniforms may bother you. I doubt all chapters will be anywhere near this lengthy and this is the only time I'll upload two chapters at once. May start off slow but I just want to get the plot down packed.

I don't really know where I'm going with this but I was too tempted to write and figured it wouldn't hurt, least I hope it won't hurt. I haven't given it too much thought about the pairings but it's certain Romy is one of them, though if you ask I could try and spice things up. Anyway I don't own a thing and please don't attempt to kill me with words if you don't enjoy it.

Chapter one: Inuyasha

The group was silently walking through the thick forest back towards Kaede's village. Their spirits were down and they all needed something repaired. They all just came from a battle against Naraku or so they had thought. Sango fought her own brother after he had slaughtered an entire village; the sad thing was the village went down on her behalf. She tried talking to Kohaku and made fighting him a last resort, that's when he slaughtered an entire village. Sango was carrying Miroku for he'd sucked up so many poisonous insects, protecting Sango that he was now ill and his whole actually widened. Shippou lay limp in Kagome's gently folded arms, he was hit when trying to protect Kagome. Kagome then got the thought into her head that she was useless in a battle, which in reality was only half true. Inuyasha was not too wounded physically; his pride was just a bit broken. He thought he had been fighting Naraku but it turned out to be a copy of him, the whole thing was a diversion to steal three jewel shards from three monsters. Actually Inuyasha would have never known the real Naraku wasn't there until Kirara revealed so. It isn't the first time it happened but for some reason it just happened to be the last straw. As they entered the village they noticed that Kaede for once did not greet them.

"Excuse me," Kagome called upon the first man she saw," Where is Lady Kaede?"

"She's looking for you," he replied," She has news."

"Let's go find out what kind," Inuyasha demanded.

"No wait!" Kagome replied," We need to take care of them first plus if she's looking for us and we go looking for her chances are we will search for her where she's already searched for us, it'll be faster if we wait here because she has to come back."

"Fine!"

They went inside Kaede's hut knowing she wouldn't mind, they tended to their wounds and simply waited in silence. Miroku felt better when Kagome gave him herb medicine to eat, and Shippou's demon blood let him heal quickly.

"Pervert!" Sango could be heard hissing at Miroku for touching her then a slap could be heard.

Kagome smiled, things were going back to normal. She held Shippou on her lap rubbing her nails through his fur gently scratching, he enjoyed the simple gesture. Soon Kirara grew envious and rubbed up against Sango who displayed the same gesture once she moved from Miroku. Soon the two were asleep and then Kaede walked in.

"About time," Inuyasha complained.

"Quiet they're sleeping," Kagome replied. "Hello Kaede."

"Greetings lady Kagome, lady Sango, Miroku, and Inuyasha." Kaede greeted showing more respect to the girls then guys.

She sat down where there was room and sighed obviously tired. "You have news?" Inuyasha asked.

"Yes I do but let an old woman catch her own breathe," she replied. "Why the long faces?"

Everyone fell silent again and looked elsewhere," We came from a battle with Naraku, only it wasn't really Naraku," Miroku replied.

"We fought so hard but we still lost, we couldn't even stand up to a clone," Sango replied.

"Naraku's clones are strong though as you all are. Do not feel bad, this is Naraku we're dealing with nothing from him is easy." Kaede tried to cheer them all up.

"Naraku doesn't make clones that are weak," Kagome replied watching as Shippou slept peacefully in her lap," But he never makes one that could become a threat to him. Basically we're not prepared to stand up to Naraku. He's got three more shards, the last time I saw his half of the jewel shard it was almost whole. Our time is running out."

"What you need is a bigger group, one whom everybody is willing to fight for what's right. The right thing being defeating Naraku." Kaede replied.

"This is as big as our team is going to get, no one in their right mind will fight Naraku. Most who know of him fear him, those who don't will refuse to fight a battle that is not theirs," Sango replied. "We're only here because each of us has a particular grudge against Naraku."

"That may be but there are always people that despise all evil. They will help you. That is part of my news. Not to long ago I was heading to see an old friend of mine, I've always looked forward to seeing her. She was very wise and showed me everything I know. When I arrived her village was deserted, everyone was dead including her. I buried everyone and went into her hut where I was hoping to keep something of hers so I would never forget."

"So far I am not seeing a point to the story," Inuyasha interrupted.

"Just let me finish," Kaede sighed annoyed," I ended up finding a book. I read it curious and found out that every one day out of every year when the moon is only half showing and both the sun and moon can be seen seven warriors can be called on. Their main goal is to rid of evil."

"So what Sango's a warrior, what's so different about seven more?" Inuyasha replied not truly believing the idea.

"More one there will be more of you, and two it is said that each warrior has their own unique inhuman ability."

"I don't want to depend on seven strangers, besides are you sure she wasn't referring to Shichinintai seven (or Band of seven)?"

"Where there is great evil there is equal good Inuyasha. It's a way of balance in the universe." Kaede replied.

"I think we should give it a try?" Kagome replied," If it's true that they despise all evil then they are exactly what we need." Inuyasha glared at Kagome," C'mon Inuyasha you know we could use all the help we can get. Don't let your pride get in the way of that fact."

Inuyasha turned his head away knowing what she said was true. He thought about how he was toyed with by Naraku and the thought angered him, he knew they couldn't do it alone. "Fine what do we do?"

"Only you can do it Inuyasha." Kaede replied. "There is a lake not to far from here known as dead waters. Everyone stays clear of it; it's where the deadliest water demons live. On this one night they sleep and don't wake up for an entire day. The water is known to be magical and the demons are known to be protecting it. This is the only ceremony that takes no words and no sacrifices."

"Then what is needed?" Miroku asked having never heard of a ceremony that caused for no traditional measures.

"A simple single drop of hybrid blood," Kaede replied.

"Hybrid?" Inuyasha asked.

"In other words Inuyasha, a half-breed." Kagome replied.

"Yes, but this half breed can only be part demon and part human, two different demon types will not do."

"Okay I'll do it, it sounds easy enough. When is it again?"

"Wait a second," Kagome almost shrieked. "I learned about this at the planetarium." She reached in her oversized yellow backpack and tossed some things out knowing exactly what she was looking for. She pulled out something thin and opened it; the device caught everybody's attention. It was shiny and when she touched it, it beeped and in a voice greeted her with a 'welcome'. "It's tomorrow evening." She replied.

"What is that?" Inuyasha ears twitched. "It talks but has no unique smell."

"It's a planetary calendar, I can tell when certain stars will align themselves, when there will be an eclipse and where." She looked about," Actually I'm a little surprised it actually worked but since it doesn't need to reach an antenna or satellite and runs on battery or solar energy it'll work."

"It talks," Miroku replied uneasy.

"It's programmed to say certain things; it's no able to hold a conversation or anything."

"Can I see?" Sango asked.

Kagome handed it over and Miroku scooted closer to Sango to mess with it as well. They immediately began to press everything they could and every so often they would be rewarded with a voice. It was highly amusing to them.

"So what's the plan then?" Kagome asked turning her attention back to Kaede.

"The lake isn't too far; it'll not take you too long to reach it. So you can rest up here until morning then I'll take you tomorrow."

"Okay sounds good," Inuyasha replied.

Kagome was finding a little hard to stay serious when she kept hearing a robotic voice speaking behind her along with amazed sounds from the calm ones of the group. Their amusement was beginning to amuse her. Soon thought they grew tired and were determined to relax for the rest of the day.
