So, we really don't own any of the anime or manga mentioned above, personally. But, there are some plans in the making. We have them, but we don't. Wait...we own the Dvd's or manga, but we don't own the ideas. That's how it goes. Now, on to the second introduction! Yay!

Fear Factor is beginning! Six new contestants are walking in a desert-like expanse.

There is a quick zoom in on each contestant with information and a voice over, followed by another scene of everyone walking again.

A picture of a silver haired man with odd golden eyes was first. The information said:

Name: Sesshomaru TaishoAge: 25

Occupation: High Ranking Military Officer

As everyone was allowed to read this information, Sesshomaru was saying, "I know I can win. That is all there is to it."

In the background, a little girl's voice was heard singing an incomprehensible song. A gravely voice yelled, "Not now Rin!"

A space and then the next contestant was on.

It was a young woman with flipped-out bluish-black hair and spunky green eyes.

Name: Kamatari HonjouAge: 23

Occupation: Writer

"I'm in this for the action. Even living the rich kind of life I have, nothing escapes the feeling of excitement from competitions."

Another man was next, with an uncurly afro of forest green hair and dark, lazy eyes.

Name: Spike SpiegelAge: 24

Occupation: Bounty Hunter

"Um…How does this thing work?"

"Just say what you want to say, Spike. It's recording."

"Oh well, you just have to be like water, turn where the road does. My job and this show are kinda the same. Ok, can I sleep now?"

A girl who looked barely out of high school came on. Her dark brown hair was only a few shades below black and her chocolate brown hues withheld innocence.

Name: Kagura SohmaAge: 19

Occupation: Scholar

"When I win, I'll be winning for my Kyo! Um…there's not much else to say. I love you Kyo! Root (like a pig -) for me!"

A young boy with mahogany hair and brownish gold eyes followed.

Name: Toboe Omega Age: 18

Occupation: Hunter

"I'm learning to look out for myself more. I feel like such a burden to the rest of my pack…(oh shit!) but by winning this, I hope it'll prove myself more to them."

The last contestant was a blonde woman with blue eyes.

Name: Katsura ShionAge: 25

Occupation: Pianist

"I'm honored I was chosen. I really shouldn't have, those children would be able to do a far better job. But, I'm here so I'll try to do the best I can."

The small group reached their destination: the bottom of a canyon. There, they found their host waiting for them.

"Hello and welcome. As you may know, my name is Joe Rogan," the man standing in front of the cliff face greeted the group cheerfully. "How is everyone today?"

The group responded with a few goods and ok's and a cheerful "Alright!" from Toboe.

"Good," Joe responded before letting his facial features become slightly more serious. "You all know why you're here. The six of you have been chosen for one reason: to stare fear in the eye. Over the next several days, you will compete in three events for the grand prize of $50,000. The trials that you will face will test you mentally and physically, forcing you to push yourself to the limit. If you refuse to participate in a stunt, you will be eliminated. If you unable to complete a stunt, or fail to finish with in the time limit, you're going home. Understood?" he looked around the group.

Most of the group nodded, letting Joe's words sink in. Others replied with nervous yes-es and Sesshomaru, well, being the epitome of fear, didn't feel the need to respond.

"Ok, that's a cut," Joe snapped. The camera stopped filming for a while.

"Ok, so, how about you all introduce yourselves? How about Mr. Dark and Gloomy goes first."

Sesshomaru glared at Joe, whom he already decided he didn't like, hitting the host with a bone chilling amber look. "I am Sesshomaru, head of the Japanese foreign affairs department." (Ok, we don't really know anything about any military, so we'll just go with this!)

"Oh, really?" Joe asked, apparently ignoring the icy stare of the demon lord. "So, what do you do as the head of foreign affairs?"

"I plan and lead attacks when our country is at war." Sesshomaru's voice remained passive, giving Joe the shivers. "I was recently fighting in Iraq."

Joe nodded. "Well, that's cool." He turned towards Spike. "So, what about you?"

"Spike Spiegel. I'm a bounty hunter," Spike replied in his ever lazy way.

"So, you're one of the ones who go catch the bad guys and bring them in for cash, right?"

"Basically, if they've got a bounty on their head I go after them."

Joe glanced around, his gaze finally resting on Toboe. "What's your name?"

"Toboe Omega."

"Isn't an omega a kind of wolf?" Joe raised a questioning eyebrow.

Toboe fidgeted nervously. "Um…not really…"

Katsura and Kamatari giggle. Kamatari murmured, "Aww, isn't he just the cutest?"

Toboe blushed slightly. Joe turned his attention to the woman. "Well, then. What about you?"

"I'm Kamatari Honjou. I'm an author," Kamatari stated proudly.

"Author of what?"

"A book, silly. What else? I called it Fire's Lust. It's a romance." (Which, of course, has to deal with Shishio.)

"Next." Joe looked to the blonde.

"Katsura Shion. I play the piano at a bar."

"I'm sure you get a lot of men doing that."

Katsura glared at Joe. "That was uncalled for," Kamatari muttered.

"And, last but not least, how about you?"

"I'm Kagura Sohma," the youngest girl replied quietly.

"And?"

"I'm still in school. I'm going to collage."

"Ok well, now that that's done, lets go on to your first stunt."

HD: Which I decided will be in the next chapter. This one has gone on for a little longer than I expected. Well, hope you all enjoyed this little…er…not so little chapter.

PB: R&R if you're reading or else you'll get burned!
