Author's Note: Since the disease known as Writer's Block has killed us we have decided to… "revamp" as Spidey puts it, the story so far. Please bear with us and reread these chapters. Thank you… Note some stuff will stay the same, luckily with the first few chapters that is not the case. –People cheer- Some how I feel insulted by that… oh well. Please reread or read and enjoy.
Disclaimer: Rub a dub, dub you big slimy tub. I've got an offer you can't refuse! And the offer is...Nothing!! Because I own nothing, just the plot so far...I think. I don't even own that "rub a dub..." It's from the Real Ghostbusters; Peter says it in episode "Partners in Slime" Great episode if you like seeing Peter get slimed. Wow!! Long disclaimer, on with the show
Summer holidays, the best time of year of course unless you were bored out of your skull and had to put up with your pain in the rear stepsister who had no sense of humour or adventure. Why was this person bored out of his skull? Well the simple answer could be that where he was there were no girls to win over and it had been weeks since his last mission. That's right; this boy was none other then the self proclaimed Martin Mystery Paranormal Investigator Extraordinaire. He was sending the holiday with his dad and since his dad had found out about the Center things between them had gotten way better but since they were just staying at the cottage relaxing Martin had grown quite bored. Unfortunately he had promised to his dad that he wouldn't pull any pranks so that got rid of his last hope as he also had lost his video games and Java was working at the. He had decided to take a nap to pass the time and he almost slept through dinner, almost.
"MARTIN!" a female voice, for lack of a better word, screamed from the downstairs, "AREN'T YOU UP YET?!"
Martin rolled over and buried his head under his pillow; he was having this awesome dream and didn't really want to wake up. He was protecting this totally hot girl with long silvery hair from this giant brown wolf.
"Martin! Do you want dinner or not?" a new voice spoke up. This time it was an older male, Mr. Mystery, Martin's father.
Martin knew that he wouldn't be able to go back to sleep on account of his growling stomach so he got up, walked downstairs and took his seat at the dinner table.
"So finally decided to get up?" Mr. Mystery asked as he looked away from the stove.
"Yeah, so what's for dinner?" Martin asked.
Diana made to answer but Mr. Mystery said, "Your favourite."
"Oh boy! Burgers?"
"No." Mr. Mystery said as he placed a plate in front of Martin who eyes grew to at least twice their size.
"Oh yum. Liver." Martin said in a lethargic, and then a familiar beeping was heard coming from Martin's watch. "Saved by the beep." He thought as he got up from the table. "Gotta go dad, the Center is calling." He said as he motioned to Diana to follow him.
Mr. Mystery only had time to say goodbye before Martin and Diana walked through the portal that transported them to the headquarters of the best paranormal investigation center, The Center. After going through security the two agents met Billy the small green alien who was dressed in his B.S. 1000 and Java the caveman.
"Hey Billy, why are you in your suit?" Martin asked when he saw Billy.
"Oh yeah, I'm going with you guys on the mission today to see if I got all the bugs out." Billy explained but Martin didn't hear a word of it because right there... beside M.O.M's desk... was...
"YOU!!!"
"YOU!!!"
"MARVIN!!!"
"MARTIN!!!"
"Grr..."
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!?" both boys exclaimed, "ME I'M GOING ON A MISSION!! NO WAY I'M GOING ON A MISSION!! GRRR..." Lighting shot from both boys' eyes and joined at the middle.
"Both of you are going on a mission." M.O.M said in a loud voice thatwas almost but not quite yelling. "Java will stay at the center while Billy and Marvin go on the mission with Agent Lombard and Mystery."
"But... But... But!" stammered Marvin and Martin.
"That is final." said M.O.M as she left Martin and Marvin to sulk, "Now today you all are going to a city in Japan, where a high-school girl has been missing every few weeks for many days at a time and only reappears to take tests and exams. Some people say that she has been spotted with a white haired youth who has been connected to some paranormal happenings."
"Maybe the boy is just part of a gang." Diana suggested
"Doubtful."
"What do her parents say?" asked Billy.
"Details were vague but the girl's family live at a shrine. You may want to stop there first to look for clues. The girl's name is-"
BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP! RED ALERT!! RED ALERT IN THE HOLDING WING! RED ALERT!!
A siren went off as a red light was flashing!!
M.O.M turned to her desk and a hologram screen appeared.
"What going on here!?!?" M.O.M yelled!
"It's the genie! It's..." the workers eyes then went vague, "I wish I had a pony."
M.O.M turned off the hologram, "Agents, you better get moving! Before the genie cuts the power! Come on Java!"
M.O.M and Java ran out the door towards the holding wing of the Center.
"This way guys." yelled Billy while a portal opened up behind him showing a bus stop. Billy and Diana had it through safely but Martin and Marvin were a different story. They were so busy staring draggers at each other that they had to run and even then, almost didn't make it. The portal collapse just as the two rivals rushed through.
"Wow... what a rush." Martin said dazed.
"A... Rush... A RUSH!" yelled Diana and then Martin stopped listening.
"Let's get moving." suggested Marvin. Diana then stopped nagging Martin looked at Marvin with hearts in her eyes as she replied:
"Good idea, Marvin."
"Well since we are here let's take a bus." Billy said as he looked around.
"We should stop at a TV station for my favourite anime 'Adventures to the Unknown." exclaimed Martin.
"MARTIN!!" threatened Diana with a fire background. Martin was rewarded for his idea with a "SLAP" that sent him into outer-space.
"To look for clues." he justified.
"Come on! If we don't get going, we are gonna miss the bus!" yelled Marvin as he ran towards the bus-stop. Diana was second to follow. Billy ran toward the bus-stop next and crashed into a black-haired girl.
"Sorry." Billy grunted as he crashed.
"It's okay... Oh no! I gotta go! Bye!" replied the girl.
Meanwhile, Martin had just spotted a girl and was just about to get some digits when:
"Martin! COME ON!!"
"Coming Di." Martin growled as he ran towards the bus-stop.
A little earlier in Japan… Ah who am I kidding? Like 500 years and a few minutes earlier in some forest in Japan.
"Sit!" Kagome yelled.
"Come come Kagome, I'm sure Inuyasha didn't mean tha…" A pervert dressed in monk-like clothing started before Kagome silenced him with a glare.
She jumped into the well and at once she found herself back in her home time. "Mom, Sota, Grandpa! I'm home!" Kagome called out as she climbed out of her family's well.
"Kagome!" Grandpa replied.
"Hey sis!" Sota said.
"Kagome," Her mom said in a rush, "you're going to be late for school, if you don't hurry!"
"What!?!?!"
"Here's your lunch and your bag. If you hurry, you can still make the bus."
"Thanks mom!" Kagome yelled as she ran to the bus-stop, to get back to her normal 10th grader life.
If Kagome wasn't in such a hurry she would have noticed 4 people running out of a blue portal. And even if she did see that she still wouldn't have caught what they said.
"Wow... what a rush." one of the boys, with blonde hair gelled to look like a flame, said as he ran out of the portal.
"A... Rush... A RUSH! Martin you're idiot. I can't believe I'm related to you." And so on, nagged the brown haired girl.
"Let's get moving." suggested one of the other blondes. The girl stopped nagging 'Flame boy' and started looking at him (Marvin) with hearts in her eyes as she replied:
"Good idea, Marvin."
"Come on! If we don't get going, we are gonna miss the bus!" yelled the more logical of the boys, Marvin as he ran towards the bus-stop. The girl was second to follow. The shortest blonde followed and crashed into Kagome.
"Sorry." he grunted as they crashed.
"It's okay... Oh no! I gotta go! Bye!" replied Kagome.
"Yes, just made it." Kagome whispered to herself, as she got onto the bus.
The 4 people also got onto the bus and sat in front of Kagome. They were being very noisy and Kagome just couldn't help over-hearing quite a bit.
"Maybe, we should just go to the school. Who knows, maybe she's at school today." suggested the girl, Di.
"Or maybe she isn't... Maybe we should just go to the shrine." 'Flame Boy', Martin said.
"I don't like this; my family's shrine is the only one around here." Thought Kagome.
"Too bad we don't have a name to go on." The shortest blonde, Billy, cut in.
"Yeah." everyone said in agreement.
"Either way, at the school we can find out the name of the girl and where the shrine is." the other blonde, Marvin, said logically.
"Maybe the Legendex has something." Both the tall blondes said at the same time, Activated their watches and then they growled at each other, as a computer voice cut in.
"Uwatch activated... Legendex selected." A little hologram screen appeared from the watch.
"Here it is..." both boys exclaimed.
"More than 500 years ago demons and humans wandered Japan. It was called... the feudal era." Martin read from the screen.
Then both the boys' watches started beeping and a hologram of a woman came out.
"Hello, agents." the hologram said.
"Hi Mom." All 4 replied.
"The city you are in has had a lot of paranormal activity recently. There were reports of a flying mask turning people into black slime. Also the boy with white hair had dog ears. I have to go, the genie is being a bit more trouble than we originally thought." M.O.M continued
"Wait! Mom, what was the name of the girl... Oh... She's gone." said Di.
"Oh no. They were talking about Inuyasha and the Flesh-eating mask! Inuyasha what did you do? Oh well... I think now is a good time to intervene." Kagome thought and then said to the people, "Sorry... I couldn't help over-hearing... But I hear that you are looking for a girl and a boy, right?"
"Yes, I'm Diana Lombard."
"Martin Mystery."
"Marvin History."
"Billy Church."
"I'm Kagome Higurashi. So about the boy and the girl, any ideas?"
"Well... We know that the girl lives at a shrine and has been missing lots of school." Martin said reluctantly.
"And the boy had long white hair." added Diana.
"Maybe you should…uh… look at some of the schools. This is my stop. See ya." Kagome said as she made to leave the bus.
"Who were those people with you, Kagome?" asked one of Kagome's friends.
"Just some people looking for a girl and a boy." Kagome explained.
"Oh... Oh no! We're late!!" cried all the girls as they ran to their classes when they heard the bell.
"Why are these people after Inuyasha and what do they want with me?" Kagome asked herself, over and over again throughout the day. When the final bell rang, Kagome decided that she had to return to the feudal era ASAP.
Meanwhile:
As the agents got off the bus they headed towards the principal's office.
"That girl, Kagome, wasn't telling all that she knew." stated Marvin.
"Thanks for stating the obvious." Martin said, his voice laced with sarcasm.
"After the classes are over, we'll follow her." said Diana.
"What will we do till then?" asked Billy.
"Let's get some food and find out what the girl's name was." Martin and Marvin both said again at the same time, "GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR..."
The Uwatches beeped.
"Quick in here!" Marvin said, pointing into a bathroom... A GIRLS' BATHROOM.
"Yes, the perfect place to enter unnoticed, when 3 of our numbers are boys." Martin said again with sarcasm, "Quick in here!" Martin pointed to a closet.
"For once Martin had a better idea than Marvin." Diana whispered to Billy.
The Uwatches beeped again and everyone piled into the closet.
"M.O.M, what's wrong?" asked Diana.
"Billy, you have to come back to the center! Right now!" M.O.M sounded terrified, never a good sign.
"Right, I'm coming." Billy replied as the hologram disappeared. A portal appeared and Billy turned off his human shell to show a short, green alien, sitting in a floating chair thingy.
"Wait, Billy! Here..." Martin said as he gave Billy, his Uwatch.
"What?"
"Just in case, you can't get to your chair."
"Right." Billy nodded and with that, the number of agents was reduced to 3 and the only one with a Uwatch was Marvin, the rookie.
"Come on... The Center can take care of the genie." Diana said with confidence that she wished she felt.
"Di is right. Let's go see the principal." Marvin said.
Kagome was worried when Diana, Martin, and Marvin got on the bus behind her.
"They must be following me. Or am I just being paranoid. And wasn't there 3 boys before?" Kagome thought as she sat down on the bus.
But the agents' minds seemed elsewhere.
"Why did M.O.M sound so worried? I wish I was there to help or at least knew why she was so terrified."
"Something has to be up! M.O.M is NEVER scared! I should be there helping but then who would do this mission? Sigh... Well all I can do now is do my best on this mission and hope for the best at the Center."
"I should be there helping not HERE! Sigh... Well all I can do now is do my best on this mission and hope for the best at the Center."
When Kagome got off at her stop, she was relieved to see that the Center team didn't follow her.
"Mom! Grandpa! I'm home!" she yelled as she entered her house.
"Hello, Kagome. How was school today?" her mom wanted to know.
"Oh just fine if you cut out the part that these people know about Inuyasha and are looking for me." Kagome replied sarcastically, "So I have to go back to the feudal era ASAP so if anyone is looking for me just tell them I had a-"
"Accident?"
"Yes, thanks. Bye." Kagome said as she ran to the well.
"Wait, Kagome."
"Yes?"
"Here is your bag with some more food and bandages; you and your friends be careful."
"Thanks, bye." Kagome said as she traveled to the feudal era.
"Inuyasha! Master Inuyasha!" Yelled Myoga as he jumped onto Inuyasha nose, who was up in tree, sulking again.
"Myoga?" SLAP! "What are you going here?" Inuyasha asked.
"Fine welcoming that is. Kikyo is coming this way to see you!"
"Huh? Kikyo?" "Why is Kikyo coming to see me?" Inuyasha thought.
"Inuyasha!" a panicked voice called.
