Chapter 2: The Launch Is Canceled
As Michiru and Kaname bid farewell to their friends they jumped into the Bone-eaters Well and were transported back to the Modern Era. After climbing out they took off the pendents that allowed them to pass through and placed them on the nearby shelf and made their way toward the exit. On their way out they saw Kagome's Mom sweeping the path way to the house and said hello as they passed her.
"Hello, Mrs. Higurashi." They both said.
"Oh, Michiru, Kaname, hello there. Where are you two heading?" She said as she took a break from sweeping.
"We promised our parents that we'd return home to attend the launch ceremony at the Yokosuka naval base." Kaname said.
"Oh, well I hope you two have a good time." Mrs. Higurashi said with a smile. "How is everyone by the way?"
"Everyone's okay, just the same stuff, different day." Michiru said.
Mrs. Higurashi smiled and said, "Well that's good to hear. You two best be off now, you wouldn't want to upset your parents."
The twins smiled and Michiru said as they took their leave, "Yeah, your right. See you later Mrs. Higurashi."
Kagome's Mom waved as she said, "Bye you two, have a good time."
Michiru and Kaname catch a bus and make there way to the naval base. As they ride Michiru and Kaname start talking about whether they should tell their parents if they could bring their friends through the Well and show them around Tokyo and soon Kaname started giggling.
"What? What's so funny?" Michiru asked.
Kaname responded, "Maybe after we bring them through you could ask Sango out on a date?"
Michiru blushed at her statement and replied, "W-Why would I do that?"
Kaname started giggling as she continued teasing him. "Come on, bro, you two were sitting in a field of flowers about ready to kiss each other until I came along. Its obvious that you want to be alone with her."
Michiru blushed even more as his sister brought up his moment with Sango. Had she figured out what they were up to and told the others, he wouldn't hear the end of it. Its not like his feelings for her was a complete secret but he figured that if he was going to have relationship with Sango he'd at least want to keep it between them for the time being.
Soon the bus arrived at the naval base where they got off and went to find their parents. As they made their way through the crowd, Michiru looked around and noticed a few people wearing black jackets and black ball caps that read N.C.I.S. but what surprised him was that they weren't Japanese and one with silver-grey hair was looking straight at him.
Before he could take a moment to think, Kaname said, "Hey, Michiru, I found them, this way."
Following his sister's lead he looked back toward where the N.C.I.S. agents were standing and found that they weren't there which freaked him out.
* * *
Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs was having a difficult time trying to locate his old friend. He had gotten a call about a week ago from him asking to come to Japan to attend the lauch of the S.S. Avenger as well as to catch up on lost time. He hadn't seen him fifteen years and he thought it would be a good idea to meet face-to-face once again. Since him and his team arrived at Yokosuka naval base they found the place packed with tons of people. Sailors as well as their families witnessing the launch as they cheered for them. However as loud as it was, he could still hear Dinozzo complaining about how crowded it was which gave him the urge to head-slap him once they made it out of the crowd.
As he led his team through the crowd toward the side where they was space, he noticed a young boy who seemed so familiar about fifteen years old with short brown hair dressed in a white polo-shirt with a blue tie looking at and his team. The boy looked as if he was studying Gibbs and his team however he sensed that the boy was intimidated and soon he turned his attention for a second. Gibbs ordered his team to move faster as they made their way through the crowd and he noticed the boy couldn't see him and his team but was trying to find them. Gibbs gave a suspiscious look before moving on.
Gibbs led his team out of the crowd and near the ramp leading up to the dock where he spotted his old friend dressed in a suit and tie standing next to his wife dressed in a Kimono about a few feet away and he ordered his team to wait for him. He approached his friend and said, "Konichiwa, Kururugi-San."
"And hello to you too, Jethro." Gibbs' old friend replied.
Gibbs cracked a smile as he shook his friend's hand.
"Hello, Mrs. Kururugi." Gibbs said as greeted his friend's wife.
"Its been a long time, Jethro." Mrs. Kururugi replied.
"I see you're working for NCIS now, huh Gunny?" Gibbs' old friend asked.
"That's right, its Special Agent Gibbs now." Gibbs looked at his friend and asked half-jokingly, "Okay you two, what is it that we couldn't talk about over the phone?"
"Hey, dad!" the three heard a young female voice call out.
"Ah, perfect timing." Gibbs' friend said. They turned and saw a young girl with short brown hair dressed in a white long-sleeve shirt, a yellow sweater vest with a blue bow-tie and a beige skirt accompanied by the young boy Gibbs saw earlier make their way toward them.
"Gibbs, my old friend, I'd like to introduce you to our children, Michiru and Kaname. Kids this is my old friend, Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs, I actually saved his life once." The twins' father said.
Gibbs took a good look at the twins and figured out why they seemed so familiar. They looked just like their parents did when they were younger. It had been fifteen years since he'd seen them and Mr. Kururugi's wife was pregnant at the time and the kids seemed to resemble each other so the timing seemed to be right for them to be twins.
Gibbs turned to his friend and pointed out humorously, "Last time I checked it was me who saved your life first."
Mr. Kururugi looked at him and replied, "Don't tell me your memory's slipping, Jethro. As I recall I saved your life twice in return so you still owe me one."
Gibbs cracked up and both Michiru and Kaname couldn't help but to join in. As they settled down Gibbs looked at the twins and said, "You two look a lot like your parents, you know that?"
They both smiled and Kaname replied, "That's what everyone tells us."
Michiru looked at Gibbs and asked, "So, Special Agent Gibbs, how do you know Mom and Dad?"
Gibbs replied, "When I was still a Gunnery Sargent in the Marine Corps. I was stationed here aboard the U.S.S. George Washington where your parents were ordered by their former superiors to inspect until we were called into action and were under attack by rogue Chinese MIGS. Your parents kept trying to tell me that the best course of action was to face them head-on while I kept saying the best course was to take them by surprise. Finally we realized that we needed to combine both of our strategies and in the end we returned with our lives and we've been frinds ever since."
The twins stood there amazed by the intriguing story.
Before anyone could say anything else however, there was a scream coming from the ship as a sailor came running down the ramp calling for help. This propelled Gibbs' team to run up the ramp followed by Gibbs, Mr. and Mrs. Kururugi, Michiru and Kaname.
Everyone followed the sailor as he led Gibbs, his team and the Kururugi's to the Captain's quarters claiming that he was dead.
As they entered, they all saw a grizzly scene that caused Kaname to turn her head. The Captain was on the ground with a gaping hole in his chest as well as bloody bite marks on his neck. Blood was sprayed all over the walls and floor.
"Did you see who killed him, lad?" Ducky asked as he looked at the sailor.
The Sailor replied in a fearful tone, "I-It was something big and scary. I-It wasn't even human. It just killed him. It ate him alive."
As Gibbs and his team started inspecting the scene, Michiru already figured out what had done this. There's no mistake about it. It was a demon.
One mystery is solved but there's plenty more on the rise.
In an episode of NCIS "Call of Silence" Gibbs ate at Japanese Restaurant and spoke Japanese so I figured have him be friends with Michiru and Kaname's parents since before they were born.
Chapter 3: Suspicions
Gibbs and his team search crime scene while Michiru and Kaname go after the mysterious creature themselves and attempt to stop it which leads to Gibbs having to search for them. Will he find out the twins secret powers?
