Thank you for all the reviews! Wow, seven reviews. That's awesome! I'll try not to disappoint all of you! Okay, now I just want to add a few things.
I didn't mean to make Cloud be so weak. I had no motive to make him weak and I guess making him use Omnislash on the demon was probably an overkill as Cloud didn't probably need to finish off the demon. Just thought it would be awesome to include it hahaha.
The next one is what Galneryus mentioned in the review. It's true Materia won't work without no lifestream (since in the Inuyasha world, there is no lifestream), but let's just ignore that itsy bitsy important information and just pretend Materia can still work even without the lifestream. Kay? :D
I also can't really say who would win against who or better yet who would keep up with who, but I do know that it would be an epic battle to see Cloud, Inuyasha, Sesshomaru, and Sephiroth fighting each other to test their strengths.
Well, enough talking. Here is chapter 2 folks! Enjoy it!
Chapter 2: -Stranded-
"Damn. She won't be able to fly for awhile," groaned Cid as he came out of the airship while blowing out smoke from his mouth.
"How much damage did the Shera take?" asked Reeve.
"Minimal. But the engine is down so I need to fix it up," replied Cid as he was rubbing his forehead.
"So I wonder where we are anyways?" asked Yuffie as she jumped off a tree branch and landed hard on the ground, "This whole place is kinda weird."
"The air…it smells so different," said Red as he lifted his nose.
"I hope Cloud is okay," mumbled Tifa softly to herself.
Barret walked up towards her and placed his hand on her shoulder, "He'll be fine. I'm sure spiky is out there looking for us."
"Hm...something has been bothering me though," said Vincent as he was laying his back against the airship with his arms crossed, "That storm we were in. Where did it come from and where did it go? By the looks of things, I'm sure it had something in the predicament we are in now."
"Vincent is right."
Everyone turned to see a young girl coming out of the Shera. She had bright red hair and her eyes gave that bright blue glow. She wore a blue uniform with white boots and two hilts on both sides of her legs with two medium-sized sabers sticking out.
"Shelke, did you find anything?" asked Reeve.
"No, I couldn't," replied Shelke, "I linked myself with the Shera to see if I could find any information in the area. Records show this place doesn't even exist."
"Great! Were stuck in the middle of nowhere," yelled Cid as he placed his foot on the Shera.
"Why are you wearing your Deepground uniform anyways?" asked Reeve.
"I do not like to wear this as it brings painful memories, but I also do not like to walk around in my regular clothes, so I thought it would be best to wear this due to the situation we are in," answered Shelke.
"So what we do now?" asked Barret.
"We could split up," suggested Tifa.
"Would that be wise? We are in an unknown place," replied Red.
"I'm getting no signal on my phone," said Vincent as he pulled out his cell.
Everyone started pulling out their cells to see their signal bar was completely gone and groaned loudly, though that was only Yuffie.
Tifa sighed sadly and placed her cell back in her pocket, "So I guess it's best if we do not venture off to far then."
"I could always use Cait Sith to scout the area," said Reeve giving a shrug.
"A grown man playing dolls. Honestly Reeve," chuckled Cid.
"S'cuse me lad! I take offensive to that!" yelled a small black cat with a Scottish accent as he jumped on top of a crate. The cat wore a red cape tied around his neck, like some kind of superhero, wore white gloves, and had a small golden crown on its head, "I'm more than just a doll!"
"Reeve, you scare me when you do that," glared Cid.
He responded with a laugh, "He has a mind of his own sometimes."
"Ya got that right!" responded Cait Sith as he jumped on his owner's arm and hung onto him.
"Okay, so what is the plan everyone? Come on! I'm getting bored just sitting around doing nothing!" groaned Yuffie as she fell down on the grass, stretching her feet.
"Alright, so will split up then. It's best if we are with someone so we won't be alone," said Tifa, almost sounding like a leader, "Whatever we find, we come back straight here. And again, don't venture too far until we know exactly where we are."
"I'll stay and fix up the Shera. I'm going to need the WRO soldiers to stay here and guard around the airship as well as help me fixing Shera," replied Cid as he walked away from the gang.
"I too will stay here and I'll see if I can find out more about this area," said Shelke as she went back into the airship.
"I'll send out a couple of Cait Sith's to scout the area. If any of them spot something, I'll be sure to pick it up and let you all know," said Reeve.
"I'll guess Red and I will go off together then?" asked Vincent as he stared at the red beast next to him, seeing him nod in agreement.
"Then it'll be Barret, Yuffie, and I," said Tifa, seeing Barret nod and showing off his grin while Yuffie got back up and jumped in excitement. Tifa smiled softly, but her smile quickly disappeared as she looked up in the sky in worry. She couldn't help but think of a certain blond male and wondered how he was doing.
"Cloud…please be safe…"
"The hell is that?" asked Inuyasha.
What stood in front Inuyasha and the gang was a huge gray demon, lying lifeless on the ground. It had three faces, four eyes that gave out a bright orange glow on each of the faces, though the front one looked like it was burnt pretty badly with a couple of slashes on it as well. The demon had four arms as well, though one of them looked like it was missing a hand.
"This is probably the demon I sensed not too long ago," said Miroku as he examined the demon.
"Do you sense a jewel shard Kagome?" asked Sango looking at the schoolgirl.
Kagome shook her head and sighed in disappointment, "I knew I sensed one. It has to be somewhere around here."
"Or maybe the one with the dark aura I sensed probably took it," suggested Miroku as he walked away from the lifeless creature.
"Dark aura?" asked Shippo, trembling in fear.
"The dark aura I sensed wasn't coming from a demon. It was human. I don't know how to explain it, but something about this aura is unique and disturbing," said Miroku as he started thinking to himself.
"Please tell me the jewel shard is still nearby Kagome," groaned Inuyasha.
Kagome once again shook her head and Inuyasha sighed angrily. Another jewel shard had slipped by. Inuyasha groaned and pressed his foot against a tree, completely furious. This was getting annoying and old really fast. As Kagome senses a jewel shard, they go off finding it, only to find out that the jewel shard is somewhere else.
All of a sudden, a giant hand was falling down above them, catching them all by surprise. Inuyasha quickly pulled out his Tessaiga and cut off the incoming hand, watching it fly above him and landing on the grass on the other side. The demon groaned in pain and the gang saw the demon getting back up from the ground.
"Argh! Gyuki…didn't believe….ugh…Gyuki would lose…argh…to someone…like him," grunted the demon.
"Stupid demon! I'll cut you in half!" yelled Inuyasha.
"Wait Inuyasha!" said Kagome as she placed her hand on his shoulder to stop him. He looked at her in confusion and saw her focusing her attention towards the spider-like demon in front of them, "Tell me! Who is this person you are speaking of?"
"Gyuki…cannot lose! Ugh! Gyuki…will kill him!" grunted Gyuki, now standing on his two feet. He gave out a roar towards Inuyasha and raised his two other hands at him, "Die!"
The gang jumped back, dodging the attack with ease. Sango pulled out her gigantic boomerang and threw it at Gyuki, watching it fly and hitting the left face of Gyuki. The demon cried in pain and as he felt the boomerang hitting him, it caused him to nearly tip over and fall on his back, but before he even touched the ground, Inuyasha jumped up in the air and swung his Tessaiga across his waist, cutting him in half. Inuyasha gave a grin as he saw pieces of the demon landing on the ground, but noticed the demon was still barely alive and trying to drag himself towards him.
"Gyuki…Gyuki! Argh! I'm Gyuki!" yelled the demon angrily.
"Persistent aren't you?" grinned Inuyasha.
Before Inuyasha could deliver the final blow, Miroku appeared in front of him, his back facing him and forcing Inuyasha to stop his attack. He watched Miroku extending his right hand towards the demon and removed the cloth that was blocking his palm. The demon stared at Miroku with anger and confusion, only to see an expressionless monk standing before him.
"Rest in peace…WIND TUNNEL!" yelled Miroku as he showed a void on the palm of his hand.
Gyuki screamed in terror and was sucked into the void instantly. Miroku quickly closed up the void and the only thing that was left of the demon was the lower half of his body along with the hand Inuyasha had cut off earlier.
Inuyasha stomped his foot in anger, "Come on Miroku! I had him!"
He saw the monk smile nervously and scratching the back of his head, "Forgive me Inuyasha. I merely wanted to have a small piece of the action."
"Teh!"
"Whoever did this to the demon didn't seem to have finished him off completely," said Sango as she hung her boomerang against her back.
"Or didn't know he was still barely alive," said Kagome.
"We should probably continue. Let's just find a route we can take and just go on about. If we force ourselves to find this mysterious stranger and the jewel shard, the more harder it'll be for us to focus. I'm sure it'll come to us eventually," suggested Miroku.
Shippo, Sango, and Kagome nodded in agreement, though Inuyasha didn't like the idea of simply ignoring this stranger or the jewel shard, but Miroku did have a point. He placed his Tessaiga back into the hilt of his sword and hid his hands in his red sleeves, nodding as well. They just went ahead and continued with their journey, hoping they would encounter this stranger Miroku had mentioned and also find the jewel shard...
Another demon fell on the ground in the pathway with dozens of other dead demons behind him. Cloud grunted to himself and slid his sword back onto the strap. No matter where he would go, there was always a demon lurking nearby. It was as if the monster population grew all of a sudden, or perhaps he was near a nesting ground.
Either way, this bothered Cloud. Most of the monsters he encountered in the past were nothing like this or even looked familiar. He knew which areas had what kind of monsters, but after touring around the forest looking for something to give him a clue, he found nothing. The only thing he saw was that when he looked up into the sky, there were hundreds, maybe even thousands of the demons flying the sky right pass him. Luckily the horde didn't spot him due to his distant from them, but he knew from the very beginning something was wrong when he woke up.
"I don't think I'm on Gaia anymore," mumbled Cloud to himself as he continued watching the horde of demons flying past him.
End of Chapter 2
Short I know and I'm sorry. Don't worry folks, the chapters will get longer and better, hopefully. I was thinking of adding some other Inuyasha characters, like Koga and maybe Kikyo too, but then I have no idea when to include or even where in the story. I need to watch Inuyasha again after missing so much. I'll do it when I have time.
But again, I'm sorry for how short this chapter is, but I thought it felt nice and flowed really well, so I thought it wasn't really necessary to make it longer than it already was. Anyways, hope you will leave a review! All reviews are welcome! Is it too much to ask for 5 more reviews? If I can get 7 just from the two chapters, I'm sure I can easily get 5 reviews! :) Only if you people want to leave a review...
