AN: This is my first attempt at a true series on this site. Comments are welcome and encouraged. I am beginning with InuYasha, but who is next can be up to you. I'm having all of the cast of InuYasha making an appearance, eventually. I don't own anything, but I wouldn't say no if the owners gave it to me...

What would happen if the various characters from InuYasha found themselves in Rivendell in time for the formation of the Fellowship? Let's find out.

InuYasha

Elrond looks upon the dwarf who had just lost his ax to the power of the ring's defenses. With a barely noticeable sneer, he states "The Ring cannot be destroyed, Gimli, son of Gloin by any craft that we here posses-"

The Elf Lord is interrupted as a pinkish orb suddenly appears in the air over the pedestal. It grows rapidly, causing all to leap to their feet, and draw weapons. Suddenly, with a popping sound, the orb vanishes, revealing a white haired youth wearing strange red garments. But that is not his most striking feature. His most striking feature is…

"Does…that boy have dog ears on his head?" Gandalf asks no one.

With a snarl, the boy whirls around.

"Damn you, Naraku! When I get my hands on you I'll…" The boy looks confused for a moment as he realizes he is not alone.

"Who the hell are you people? Do you work for Naraku?!"

Elrond makes a calming motion with a hand, causing the elves to stand down.

"We do not know this 'Naraku' that you speak of. Who are you, and how did you get here?"

The lad twisted to see who was talking before letting out a contemptuous huff.

"Right, you're too weak to serve the spider. I'm InuYasha, and I don't know how the hell I got here."

He pauses and then sniffs the air before recoiling.

"What is that god-awful stench?!"

InuYasha covers his nose with a sleeve as he looks for the source.

Seeing the ring laying innocently on the floor, he points at it.

"What the hell is that, and why does it smell like blood and sulfur?"

Gandalf is taken aback.

"Your nose is quite keen young InuYasha. That ring is the ring of Sauron."

The Inu looks up with a confused look on his face. It soon becomes petulant however.

"Well, I've never heard of him, so he can't be that strong."

This causes all of those present to choke on air. Being the first to recover, Elrond glares at the red-robed youth.

"And thus we see how young you truly are. To not realize the danger one is in."

With a grin InuYasha turns and draws his sword. With a cry, it shifts size, leaving all gaping at the now huge blade.

With a smirk, InuYasha points the Tessaiga at Elrond.

"Young or not, I bet I can still kick your ass, Bastard!"

Getting between the two, Gandalf looks at the youth.

"That is an interesting sword you have there."

Thrown by the abrupt shift, InuYasha, lowers his blade.

"It was made from my father's Fang. It's called Tessaiga. It can destroy 100 demons with one swing, and its additional abilities allow me to take down anything else."

Elrond scoffs quietly.

"He lies. There is no creature with big enough teeth to create such a weapon."

Glaring at the elf, Gandalf looks back at the youth.

"What sorts of abilities? We are currently on a mission to destroy the ring, if you have abilities that could help, we would be happy to include you…"

InuYasha scoffs and points at the ring.

"That thing? I can destroy that right here and now!"

Taking the silence as consent, he picks up the ring and puts it back on the pedestal. Gathering his power, the half-breed raises the sword high and then brings it down hard.

The people around him reeled as a horrendous screeching scream fills the air. Suddenly it stops.

Picking themselves up, their eyes grow wide as they see the ring in pieces. But that is not all that has changed. Now the blade the youth holds it golden, with a fiery slitted eye in the hilt.

"Hmm, Tessaiga got a new ability. Wonder what it does…"

Gandalf is the first to regain his voice.

"What did you just do? Why has your sword changed?"

InuYasha looked over at the old wizard and smiles.

"Tessaiga has the ability to gain the abilities of the strong that it slays. When I broke the ring, whatever abilities it had got eaten by my blade and made mine. What could the ring do?"

"It could make the wearer invisible. I also allows control of the 9 Ringwraiths."

Frodo speaks out quietly. InuYasha looks surprised and looks at his new blade.

"Really? Damn that is awesome!"

Swinging the blade up slowly, the air around him ripples before he suddenly turns invisible. After a few moments he reappears, panting lightly.

"Wow, that's hard to sustain. Now let's try that other thing…" Stabbing the blade down hard, a screeching scream is heard as a portal opens under the point of the sword. Up from the portal, the Nine rise, on their knees, surrounding their new master.

InuYasha grins.

"This is awesome! Now that bastard Naraku isn't the only one who has minions!"

Laughing, the Inu doesn't notice the pink portal opening behind him. With a yelp, he falls backwards into it, as if something yanked him into it. As the portal closes, the Witch King looks at the Elf Lord.

"And now is our chance for redemption. You will not hear of us again."

Without hesitation, they follow their master into the portal, turning into lines of dark power that are absorbed by the blade before it is lost to sight. As the portal winks out, the counsel feels a massive earthquake take the area for a minute or so.

After things calm down, they try to wrap their minds around what had just happened.

They are interrupted by a massive eagle that lands in front of Gandalf. They talk, and the resulting conversation makes the wizard go pale and sit down hard. Its message relayed, the eagle takes flight.

"Gandalf?" Frodo nudged his friend. "What did the Eagle have to say?"

Looking around he speaks 3 words.

"Mordor has fallen."

Curiosity turns to incredulousness, which turns to elation.

"Truly? The black land is no more?!"

Gandalf nods.

"With the ring destroyed, the whole of Mordor sank into the earth as Mount Doom erupted. Also, Sourans's tower has also fallen, killing all within his lands."

Looking to where the portal had been, Gandalf breathes a sigh.

"Whoever that young man was, he has saved us all…"
