How Legendary
There was a legend about five brave warriors traveled throughout Japan to defeat the demon named Naraku. The leader, a half-demon, he used the most powerful sword that had been forge, to fight demons or another threats to his comrades. A monk, who is cursed with windtunnel that Naraku place upon him. For each year, the hole will grow until it will suck its host, knowledgeable and wise monk but his only flaw is his lecherous ways with women and young ladies, he mostly provide his allies shelter.
A demon slayer that survived, trying to avenge her clan and retrieve her little brother, with the help of her feline companion. She helps fighting also keeping her monk friend from flirting with women. Kitsune demon, adopted by the maiden from the future, his parents died from the incident with the thunder brother. He protects the miko as best as he can. The priestess that almost relate to the decease Kikyou, she claim she was from the future, bringing foreign objects from her era to the feudal era. She can detect the jewel shards, tries her best to defend other people. But their real goal was to collect the jewel shards that are clearly in Naraku possession.
As they journey after the fiendish hanyou, unfortunate events took place with the monk and demon slayer. The monk was infected with the miasma, unable to move on. When the demon slayer discover about it, she took care of him the best she can with the help of the two mikos. They have not realized that the windtunnel grew from the damage that was impacted on him, the black hole sucked everything around them, most of them escape but unlucky the demon slayer and the nekotama were suck into the void along with monk. Kohaku's jewel shard had been taken when they tried to escape from the deadly void.
Every wolf tribe that exists was soon wiped out after that event; Koga's shards were taken too. When Naraku completed the Shikon jewel, with the combine power of future priestess and the dead miko they were able to banish Naraku's soul along with the jewel to hell. But at the noble deed, the undead miko draws her final breath to hell too.
The dog demon has disappeared without a trace ever since Kikyou died again. The maiden was left alone with her son, she came across the famous demon lord Sesshomaru, who took her under his wing to train her powers and abilities to their fullest. When the future miko went to find the bone-eater well, she couldn't find it back since it was so long that they been there. Her son is learning from Sesshomaru and will be back in a few years before reunited.
The young miko was still 15, for the adventure started over 10 months ago. Winter just went past by, her presence seem to vanish from the world at the beginning of spring. Some people believed that she froze to death, or trapped in ice or both.
That was 200 years ago.
Here we meet a energetic boy, wearing black and orange clothes, a black fabric strapped over his forehead with a metal plate attached to it, embedded at the center of the metal part of his headband was the leaf symbol. His bright blue eyes sparkled with excitement with his bright blonde hair blowing through the soft breeze. Followed him was his sensei, Jiraiya. Or in the hyperactive boy translation: Ero-Sennin.
"Hurry up, Ero-Sennin! I want to meet this legendary girl!" The demon-vessel shouted over the treetop.
Jiraiya's left eye twitched in irritation. Doesn't he still know that Akatsuki are still after him, even if one of their members got killed. Maybe he shouldn't have told him the legend and informing about going on a search for this person even though it is a legend. She is after all the last miko that exist. A rumour was forming around Village of the Hidden Grass and the Hidden Waterfall. The toad hermit was able to reach the boy's outrageous speed. "Naruto would you stop calling me that."
Naruto looked slightly puzzled at the statement before giving that vulpine grin. "But you are an ero-sennin, Ero-Sennin."
Jiraiya sigh. The rumours were about a cavern that is encased with rocks, which are now removed. But only few were able to survive, not wanting to face the horror further in. There were various traps and creatures that lurked within every corner, but you can see a maiden imprison in crystal at the end of the maze.
"So Ero-Sennin, is it true that the cave have some demons inside?" Naruto asked.
Jiraiya place his hand on his chin thoughtfully. "It could be but no one knows."
Taking a break at the village nearby before going to their destination. There was a large swampy with logs bobbing on the murky waters. A thick mist that surrounds the area, thick enough to see only white. The whiskered ninja frowned at the scene, aren't they suppose to be at a cave? Jiraiya answered as if he read his mind. "This is an illusion, it is suppose to give the thieves or anyone who comes visit here a false alarm."
Naruto mouth 'oh' as the author of make-out paradise made the ram seal. "Kai!"
The swamp started to blur, the environment changed into a clearing with an enormous cave with an entrance that can even fit a demon lord. Old scratches that seem that a war happened here, with arrows and swords still pierce through the stone over the years.
Inside, there was bones littered everywhere and stain blood was on the wall. Slashes and rubble showed a shiny glint when the sunlight reflected on them. Jiraiya bite his thumb doing the seals before slamming his hand on the floor. "Kuchiyose no Jutsu!" Blood red Kanji letters spread onto the floor forming seal ritual, then a 'poof', there stood an orange coloured toad with a little blue jacket. "Yo!" It responds raising one it's arm in gesture.
"Gamakichi, we need you to check for any booby traps or guards." The legendary Sannin instructed.
"Sure thing Ero-Sennin, just get me a couple of juicy bugs after this." The orange toad nodded, hopping away inside the hallway.
The white-haired man left eye twitch again, the little toad used the same nickname as Naruto does. Following the cautious toad, they didn't notice a couple Jounins watching them as they enter.
Gamakichi told them there are traps and a few guarding canines over near the room they are able to reach. When the three entered, the traps haven't triggered for some reason, when the toad hermit check the nearest wall, it shot a dagger at him barely dodging the attack. Jiraiya isn't going to stay to get killed, pushing the annoyed boy and dragging the small toad to continue their way.
Further they go down the semi-dark hall; there were many forehead protectors linger on the two centuries year old floor. Some have a large slash across it indicating there were some missing-nins here before. The bodies were slowly rotting away, with rats and maggots eating the decompose bodies. A couple of arrows nearly hit Jiraiya's head, he silently calms himself down until they reach a well-lit room.
The room almost filled with dark figures. There are foxes, wolves and dogs scattered around the room, seem to be sleeping. Gamakichi scratch the back of his neck, laughing sheepishly. "I guess I didn't count every well."
Red eyes stared at them, the fox-shaped creature walk slowly to Naruto. It narrowed its glowing eyes, sending shivers down the demon-vessel's spine. It started to sniff the boy's clothing, hissing angrily as it back away. The other canine-like creatures move forward before the fox shadow stuck out its paw. To Jiraiya and Gamakichi they only hear hissing and growls. Naruto understood their words, unaware that the seal demon modified his brain to adjust to demon language.
"Don't come closer, he has the scent of a Demon Lord. That explains that the traps didn't damage him or them." The shadowed fox point its paw at the two people…err.. animals? "We have to let him in or our mistress will be greatly unpleased."
The dog barked at leader demon. "What about those two? We can still tear them to shreds?"
"No!" All eyes turn to look at the blonde boy in surprise except the other two, who are very puzzled at the situation.
"Boy, you understand us?" The wolf asked, tilting its head slightly.
"Of course, who wouldn't?" Naruto exclaimed.
Jiraiya and Gamakichi stared at him with a confused expression on their faces; Gamakichi was about to ask him what the heck is he talking about when the Sannin's hand covers the frog's mouth. They will have to leave Naruto to deal with these shadowed animals.
"Boy, we are speaking youkai. That why your companions are having a hard time understanding what we are saying." Another fox pop out through the crowds.
"Oh, but you aren't going to kill my friends!" He protested rather loudly, making the demons cover their sensitive ears.
"Fine, I was looking for bloodshed today though." The dog whined before muttering. "Don't have to shout."
"You have done that yesterday to those poor pathetic ninjas. I say you have a lot of bloodshed everyday." The fox replied dryly.
"Umm… Can we pass now?"
"Sure." Nodding, the animals made a pathway, for them to move forward.
They noticed all the bones cover the way, making through bone-filled path. When they got halfway towards the door, a blood-curling scream rang through the area. Naruto ignored the dog that is snickering while the fox sigh. The door was like the size like the entrance from the front cave, strange cravings and writing. The craving looks like vines with blades. The writing says: "Welcome Demon Lord(s)"
"Boy, the door only allows Demon Lords to touch it." The wolf warned its glowing red eyes slowly turn yellow.
Naruto nodded, placing his hands over the handle. The vine-like craving started to twist away from the crack of the door. Gingerly moving the door open, dust and sand fell on them as they walked in. The chamber is filled with eerie green light; blue tubes ran across the walls, the ceiling had green crystal sticking out to engulf the room with its greenish glow.
At the center of the room, there is a young female wearing miko clothing with some kind of wool on her back, her raven hair spread around her body, her creamy white skin reflect the green light and there are small bracelets on her both of her wrists. As the rumour said, she is trapped inside the crystal with thin green strands surrounding it. They move closer to see this female's face; the door slam shut making them almost jump in surprise.
"So she is the legend?" Naruto pointed at the encase woman.
At those words the priestess opens her blue-grey eyes, lifting her face to see the visitors. "Hello there, are you the demon-vessel?" her voice echoed the room.
Naruto nodded. "Can you free me then?"
Jiraiya, who didn't spoke very much decide to talk to the legend. "If we free you, will you join our village?"
"Yes, now little one use your demon power. Not too much or you will hurt me as well."
Then red charka flow freely around the room, Naruto's blue eyes turn red, his pupil turn into slits, his canine teeth grew, his whisker grew into three jagged lines on each cheek, and his fingernail are now sharp. He charged towards the crystal in incredible speed, swiping at the crystal with his charka filled hand. A slash mark appeared on the hard stone, Naruto use his left hand for an uppercut. The crystal shattered, the maiden fell down quickly doing a back flip to avoid the sharp objects await at the bottom.
The red aura soon dissipated, the demon-vessel ran beside her to see if she is hurt. She waved at them, smiling cheerily. "Thank you, sorry to say that I don't really remember anything other than my name." She explained, bowing elegantly. "My name is Kagome."
"My name is Naruto Uzumaki!" Naruto grinned.
"I'm one of the three Sannin, Jiraiya!" Jiraiya introduce himself without that strange dance.
"Yo, I'm Gamakichi!" The orange toad jumped on Naruto's head.
Kagome chuckled at the cute display, snapping her fingers the cave began to rumble. "Lets go!" Kagome swiftly pointed at the wall where she was previously was, it exploded making an opening outside.
They rush as the ceiling fell apart. They made it outside; the cavern soon collapsed. Kagome brushed all the dirt away, pulling a weapon out under the wool. She let the arrow fly across the landscape until you can hear a scream followed by a soft 'thump' wherever she shot at. Then she twirled around, letting her hands flow fluidly against the wind. Two pink light blurred when she motion her hands to throw something, just at the split second you can hear two more 'thump'.
"At least I can remember fighting and everything about defense." Kagome slump her shoulder to adjust the large wool on her back.
"I thought you don't remember anything but your name." Naruto replied, still surprise by her actions.
"Well you can say that, but ever since I got stuck in that crystal is fighting intruders and defending my well being. That green strand is what kept me alive in that suffocating glass, also giving me a time stand, which makes time stops for me really." Kagome clarify. "But the huge nasty effect of it does it starts eating away my memories except my name, age, language and fighting capabilities, let just say that green strand was used to give me a new life to the next century or so."
Gamakichi jumped down from the blonde boy's head, facing the toad hermit. "I'll be going, Jiraiya make sure you get me big juicy bugs. Got it." He disappeared in a poof.
"So… Are we going to your village?" Kagome inquired, fiddling with a small piece of paper in her hands.
"We are going to slow down for you Kagome-chan." The Sannin said.
"You can goes as fast as you want, I'm going on my ride." Kagome concentrated on the paper.
"Ride?" They said in unison.
At that choice of words, a giant serpent creature appeared, illuminating a bluish light. It's black eyes glared at its creator, flapping its wings slowly. "Now lead the way, boys!" Kagome exclaimed.
"Umm... Kagome, I don't know if you should ride that thing."
"What are you trying to do? Kill us!" Naruto growled at the raven-haired teen.
Kagome scratch the back of her head sheepishly, saying sorry over ten times afterwards. She just lost control of her miko powers, making her shikigami going out of control. It almost eaten Naruto and Jiraiya if Kagome haven't stab the paper creature. Now she is on a more stabilize object, she rode on a feather that is somehow familiar. Flashbacks begin to rewind the film in her head.
A woman stared at her with her red orbs, bringing the fan closer to her face. She lift the fan before bringing it-
"I understand why Naraku is disgusted with yo-
"Kanna why didn't you finish her off?" Casting her direction to-
"I find you a-
"I want to be free…"
Kagome wondered where are these vision from, but each memory seem to flash back and forth. The last one was very clear but it left her puzzled. Who wanted to be free? She understands the need of freedom, but from what? Soon after she was brought herself out of her thoughts, she crashed into a tree. She sat there in a dazed before following the two again. "Stupid image, stupid trees." She muttered under her breath.
They reach to a building with a background with mounted heads. Kagome felt a little unnerved about meeting the Hokage, whatever in the world is the title is called. Jiraiya knocked on the door a couple times, hearing curses and shuffling papers. "Come in."
There sat a young woman with golden blonde hair, her brown eyes stared at them before realizing who they are. "Tsunade-baa-chan, we finished the mission!" He gave a vulpine grin before meeting the ground.
"I told you to stop calling me that." The Hokage relax her stance walking over to Kagome who is little scared. "Hello I'm Tsunade as you can see that I'm the Hokage." Held out her hand out.
Kagome nervously shook her hand gingerly, not wanting to slam into the ground. Another memory burst into her mind.
"Sit." A hanyou with dog like ears soon met his friend the ground. "Don't do that to Sh-
Kagome slowly drew closer to killing machine, growling in protest. Reaching over to his demonic face, he flinched back before releasing another growl. "Sit." The prayer beads glowed pink, slamming the dog demon to the-
Reality splashed her in a strange way, in other words literally. There she sat there drenched head to toe, her wet bangs covered eyes though they stick to her skin. She heard snickering, sending her blazing glare at the culprit. Ah it's none other than our friend, Naruto. Kagome smirked evilly that can make Naraku frown; Naruto then froze soon after a breaking into a run.
Hours later, Naruto was chained with miko energy. She had to carry him back to the Godaime's office, which is hard for her with large wool on her back. Sometimes she wonder why does she even has that thing on her back. Didn't notice the faint blush on Naruto's face. The Legendary Miko enters the room, dropping Naruto like he was some heavy rock. "As I was saying when you were in your trance, I'm wondering if you will assist us and help contain the demon within Naruto here." Tsunade announced.
"Ah the Demon Lord, I'll be having a talk with him." Kagome smiled softly, messing up the blonde's hair. "I was wondering how do you humans were able to find me?"
"We followed rumours and there are legends about you being the most powerful miko that exist." Tsunade explained.
"Yes, those ones." The words finally enter her skull completely. "WHAT! I have a legend?"
"They have been told throughout about two centuries ago."
200 years! Now that is more than she can chew.
A/N: I'm done for the day; you must understand this is my first time finishing a crossover chapter. I'm lazy about editing, so I'll do that later when I do have the time. For now one more month before school is over! Which means more test and studies for me. So I'll probably get the chapter this month or the next or until the summer. I still got other stories to finish, so I'm having trouble. I'm really not sure about the summer, I'm moving and I might need a summer job. I hope I have a lot time, which I do. And no writer blocks too, I need a lot of muse for this fuel to work out. I might make another crossovers will include Inuyasha and Chobit, not sure though. But one of those Crossovers will be another Naruto Inuyasha crossover, with a different pairing. I'm planning three or four Naruto Inuyasha crossover before moving with my next fanfiction.
For now Ja ne!
