Ok, first of all, because I know that some of you will get confused, this takes place not too long after Inuyasha's battle with the Thunder Brothers and during Naruto's 2nd part of the Chuunin Exams. Ok well, time to start. :D
All the blood rushed back from my head to the rest of my body. Ugh. Why hadn't I listened to Kagome and not gone into the portal? My surroundings are strange. Where did the village go? And where is Kagome? Ugh. Maybe I hit my head trying to go in and all this is just an illusion. Huh? Wait. My ears, they're picking up some voices not too far from here. Hm… I guess I should check them out.
The ground passed under my bare feet as I hopped from one tree limb to the next. My red cloak flopped within the wind's grasp. The voices are growing closer. Wait. I hear something heading towards m-. Some sort of dagger flies inches away from my face, cutting off a few strands of my precious, silver hair. I look back at the dagger. Its shape was odd, but it did seem that it had been aimed at me. I looked down through the foliage at the spot where it had headed from.
Hm. A psycho acting blond kid screaming at my hiding spot, a snobby black haired dude leaning against the tree, and a pink haired girl that looks scared, laying down on the soft grass. Ha. Is this seriously what tried to attack me? Oh that kid so gona pay for my hair.
"Naruto, go get the Kunai. We are already running low as it is. Do you want us to fail the Chuunin exams?" The black haired one said, looking up at the blond haired one. "But I know I sensed someone, Sasuke! I bet it was one of those sound ninja! I mean, they are probably one of the only other teams still alive out here. Even though we took their only scroll, they've probably already got some more. They probably just want to get rid of us." The blond haired boy, who I guess is named Naruto, yelled at the black haired one he called Sasuke. Ninja? Ok, now I know this is just an illusion. "*Sigh* Just shut up loser, and go g-." Sasuke stopped midsentence at starred up at my hiding spot. My body tensed. "Huh? Sasuke, what's wrong?" The pink girl stood up and started to walk forward.
Sasuke lifted up another "Kunai" and chucked it in my direction. My instincts were to dodge, but maybe at the moment dodging wasn't the best idea. The knife grew closer. I had to move now or that thing would hit my ears and probably take one of them off. My claws intercepted the knife before it came any closer, but it had meant taking my hand out of the position in the leaves. I could see the trio tense at my hand, well, at least the girl and Naruto did.
"Hey, Naruto, I think you might have just made a good call. Hey you up there! Come down at once! Or we'll have to make you." Sasuke removed three more of those annoying "Kunai" and lifted them up, as if to be a threat. "Is that supposed to be a threat? Hehe. Looks like you three need a little lesson in never asking a Half-demon for a fight." My voice rang through the surrounding trees. "D-demon?" Of course the little girl was scared. She's acting just like Kagome …. *Sigh* Kagome…
I hopped down in front of the group. A gasp came from every one of their mouths, even Sasuke's. A smile grew across my face. "Been a while since I've been in a fight, but I can still kill some brats like you in one swoop. And you, the blond bitch, you're gona pay for cutting the hair of Inuyasha!" I drew the Tetsusaiga and ran forward, ready to see some blood.
"Ugh. I think I hit my head." I lifted my head up, my hand brushing some of my black hair out of the way. "Gosh. The last thing I remember was Inuyasha running into the portal in the center of the village, me yelling at him to stop, and then a huge white flash…. Wait. Where is Inuyasha?" I turned my head around frantically looking for the half dog demon, half human, but found only Shippo soundly sleeping. "*Sigh* Well at least Shippo is safe. I guess I should wake him up." I carefully shook his side and his eyes fluttered a few times before he focused on me. "Kagome? What's going on? And where's Inuyasha?" He rubbed the sleep from his eyes and brushed his tail to get rid of the knots.
"I'm not too sure, Shippo… Huh? What was that?" My body sprung up off the ground and Shippo ran up my shoulder. The bush directly in front of us was shaking. "I'm telling you guys, Akamaru can sense some weak opponents right behind this bush. We can defeat them and take their scroll very eas-. Huh?"
A trio of people walked out of the bush. One, a boy with brown hair and a collar covering most of his face, a girl with light blue hair, and a boy with brown-black hair, a white hood covering his head, and a white dog sitting on his head. "See, told you guys. Uh… Wait a second. These guys weren't at the written part of the test, so they can't be in the exam. Who are you chumps and what are you doing here?" The dog on his head started to growl.
I could feel myself backing up. My bow was nowhere to be seen, so I had no weapon to defend myself if this turned into a fight. I would have to rely on Shippo's tricks. "Uh well you see… We're kinda looking for our friend." "Uh-huh. Sure you are... Hey you, kid, what's with the tail? A transforming jutsu gone wrong?" He laughed at his joke that made no sense what so ever. "That made no sense but I have a feeling it was supposed to be mean. So please don't make fun of Shippo's look again. And by the way, have you guys seen a very stuck up boy with long silver hair, two white dog ears, and a weak looking sword?"
The girl walked forward and her voice was faint, but easy to hear. "I saw a boy like that a few miles back. He was heading towards Naruto and the rest of Team Seven's camp." "Oh that is so not good. Those poor people are going to get destroyed if they anger him." That sentence seemed to startle all three of the kids. The girl's voice was shaky with a mix of compassion for someone she loved and worry. "Naruto's in trouble? We've got to help him!" "Hold on, Hinata. We still don't know if we can trust these people." The one with the dog atop his head held his hand in front of the girl. "Yea well we don't know if we can trust you guys either but if Inuyasha is in a bad mood… well... he can get kinda… unforgiving."
"Unforgiving? Don't you mean murderous, Kagome? I mean, don't you remember what he did to t- Mmm." I held my hand against Shippo's mouth. "Yea. Like my friend said, he will kill without mercy, so if we don't hurry, your friends could be killed any second now."
"Hehe. Not so tuff now is you, kid?" My claws were wrapped around Naruto's neck. I held him in the air, aiming to fire the final blow, when my nose picked up a familiar scent. "Huh? Kagome?"
As an answer, she, with the squirt Shippo on her shoulders, and three other kids, ran into the clearing. "Inuyasha stop! Put that boy down!" "Ha. So you finally show up again after leaving me in this strange jungle and tell me to let this kid go? He cut my hair for Jewel's sakes! Just leave me alone, you stupid girl, and let me finish. It won't take long. I promise." I returned my gaze to the struggling figure in my grasp. I posed my claws and was about to kill him when- "Inuyasha, I said stop! Sit boy!"
Instantly the beads around my neck threw me to the dirt beneath my feet. My hand had loosened enough for Naruto get free and run a safe distance away. "Damn! I thought I said to stop doing that! Do you want me to get a concussion? Cause that's a sure good way to give me one! " She ran down to my side and helped me up. Shippo, mockingly, made kissy faces at me. "Why you little squirt!" I pushed Kagome out of the way and started beating Shippo upside the head. Kagome, instinctively started yelling at me to release him. This had happened so many times before that she knew using the command would do nothing to stop me.
In the meantime, the group of now six, starred down at our commotion. "What do you think we should do? I mean, it's obvious they aren't ninjas but there is no way they could have gotten into the forest. There are guards covering every inch outside this place." Sasuke said to the other five. "Not sure. Maybe we should take them with us. When we get to the tower, Master Hokagai can take care of them." "What are you crazy? They'll probably kill us before we even get close to the tower, Kiba!" Naruto's outburst had caused us to look up at them.
"Hmf. The only kid I want to kill right now is you!" I ran at him, drawing the Tetsusaiga, ready to finally kill this brat. "Oh no you don't Inuyasha. Sit boy!" Once again, the beads around my neck threw me to the ground, this time causing me to swallow some dirt in the process. "Ugh! Yuck! Fowey! Would you please stop that? It's driving me insane!" "Hmf. I would if you would stop acting like a total jerk." "Me? The jerk? You're the one who's all the time telling me what to do!" Shippo stood up, rubbing the big bump on his head. "Kagome, I actually agree with Inuyasha on this one. You do always tell us what to do."
"Ok, would you three stop this pointless argument? We need to get to the tower in the center of this forest. You guys should come with us. It's the only way for you guys to get out." Sasuke walked in between us, blocking my way to get a hit on the stupid girl.
"Hmf. Travel with you six brats? No way! I would rather have my soul be thrown into hell by the Soul Reaper." All of the "Ninjas" looked at me as if I just said something like 'Ugabuga Dongh!' "What? Why are you guys starring at me like that?" Kagome came up behind me and looked at the others. "Yea. Why are you guys starring at him like that? It's kind of creepy." "What exactly is a 'Soul Reaper'?"
Oh man. This is so not good. First I get dragged into a strange version of Tokyo that doesn't even have shampoo and now I'm stuck in a world where ninjas exist and all demons are totally evil. And besides, how are we going to get the rest of the Jewel Shards now? "So you're telling me that you three got into my forest by a portal?"
The group of six, after reaching the tower, handed us over to a really cranky lady with bad breath that is apparently in charge of this part of the these "exams". Her anger had been growing every second as Inuyasha explained what happened with the portal and us ending up here.
Some ninja with a bandana like thing wrapped around his mouth and grey hair walked up and whispered something into her ear. By the twitch in Inuyasha's ears, he had tried to listen but could not. I fear his time when he returned human, is close. She nodded at him and turned toward us. "Ok. You three are now suspects."
"What? What do you mean? All we did was get lost! … Ow! Shippo stop pulling my hair!" "At least twenty of the guards outside the fence were taken out, about the same time Naruto and Kiba say they met you three. And besides, you could be working for the criminal that has broken into the exams." I could sense Inuyasha tense beside me. His brother, we had previously thought was dead, had opened up the portal that sent us here, after setting the village on fire. Inuyasha obviously believed that this criminal was his brother. The lady also saw him tense, but by the smile that grew across her face, she believed a whole different story.
"Oh so I'm guessing you do work for him. Well in that case, Guards! Arrest these people at once!" Almost ten people in the same black outfit as the woman, jumped forward, drawing their weapons. Inuyasha started to pull his out, but I put my hand on his.
"Not right now. Fighting will only make them believe we are working for that criminal." "He's not just a criminal, he's a murderer. Don't you remember? And if we aren't going to fight, what do you expect we do? Let them take us?" "Well not exactly." We were now pressed against the window, four stories up. Without giving Inuyasha time to react, I grabbed his arm and pulled him, along with Shippo on top of my shoulders, out the window. There was a gasp behind us.
" Damn! What the hell did you do that for, Kagome?" "I was trying to save our butts, now hurry and catch us before we splatter across the ground." Inuyasha, after a low growl, grabbed us and was ready to land, when he began to change. "What the? Oh no. So not good!" His claws disappeared and he began to lose balance. His ears disappeared as well. And his hair turned to the black color I had never seen before. He had returned human.
