AN: i don't own d grey man or inuyasha

Last time...

Mikoyasha met the clock exorcist Miranda and the vampire exorcist Krory and quickly became friends. There was a welcoming party for Miranda and Mikoyasha but it was interrupted by Kanda who was mad at Mikoyasha for what she did earlier. In the end Kanda attacked her but she was protected by her sword which appeared to move on its own!

Challengers

That night in the black order a certain sliver haired hanyou ran through the darken hallways hoping the swordsman didn't follow her. She opened the door to her room and rushed inside. She slammed the door behind her with her back against it. She slid down the door as she sighed heavily "this cannot be good" she said aloud as she remembered the recent events.

"I'm sorry master" said a sweet voice that came from the sword.

The jewel around her neck became a deep violet colour "what were you thinking Tenseiga!" yelled an angry voice.

The sword shivered at the hanyou's side "I'm sorry"

The jewel changed to a bright pale pink colour "live the young one alone" said a different voice from the jewel "Tenseiga only wished to protect the young lady Mikoyasha"

The jewel changed back to deep violet "still" moaned the voice from before.

"That is enough you two" demanded Mikoyasha. The jewel became silent and returned to its original dark pink colour with touch of purple. The hanyou grabbed hold of her sword and held it in front of her. "I know you were just trying to help but you should be more careful" she told her sword "I do not know how the will react if they find out" she explained "for all I know they could take you away and do experiments on you. So be careful ok"

The sword leaned forward slightly and then straightens itself up as if to nod in response and Mikoyasha smiled back. "Master do you ever regret having a weakling like me for a sword?"

"Of course not Tenseiga!" she exclaimed "you are much stronger now than before"

"She's right you know" said the violet jewel "I mean before you couldn't even cut a simple blade of grass let alone a body" the violet jewel laughed uncontrollably at the thought which made Tenseiga upset. There was then a BONK sound from the jewel as if someone got hit on the head hard. "Ouch! What was that for?"

The jewel changed to light pink "for being inconsiderate" said an angry voice

"Ok you two settle down." Mikoyasha said firmly then looked back to Tenseiga with soft eyes "Tenseiga I would not change you for anything"

"Not even for Tessaiga?"

"Not even for Tessaiga" she replied and hugged her sword lovingly

"I love you master"

"I love you too now let's get some sleep" she gently placed Tenseiga on a soft cloth on the window cill near her bed along with the jewel.

"Can you play us a song before we sleep?" asked the violet jewel

"Oh yes please" begged the sword

"I would like to hear you play as well master. If it is not a bother" said the lighter pink jewel

Mikoyasha smiled brightly "alright I will play something" she walked over to the grand piano and sat herself down "what would you like to hear?"

"The song you've been working on" asked the sword

"Alright then" she placed her fingers on the ivory white keys and stared to play a sweet tune. It was a lovely soft melody. She played for a while and began to sing in an angelic voice:

Four souls one heart

Connected by a spark

And that will always be

Til the end of history

When darkness comes and cause dismay

The heart and four souls will find a way

To break through the darkness of the night

With an everlasting light

Four souls one heart

They'll never be a part

She continued to play a few more notes until she stopped. She looked to the window cill and there was not a single sound. Not even a murmur from the items. Sure enough they were all a sleep and having fun in dream land. Mikoyasha giggled to herself and walked over to them "good night you three" she whispered before she tuck herself in bed and dozed off to dream land.

In another part of the order Kanda just got out of the shower. Kanda came out through the bathroom door with a towel wrapped tightly around his waist. He finally got all the black marker ink off of his face and the embarrassing bow and bunny ears. His face reddened with embarrassment as he remembered the events. He growled "one day I'll get that woman" he vowed he then remember her sword. That sword did talk? Right? He asked himself I'm not going crazy or anything but how? he thought long and hard "ah! Who cares it's none of my business anyway!" he got some pants on and laid on his bed. He tried to sleep but he couldn't get that sword or Mikoyasha out of his mind. It was then he heard a sweet melody and someone singing. He didn't quite get every word. It was something about four souls and a heart. It didn't really matter to him it was thanks to that song he was able to sleep.

In another part of the order Miradnda was getting into bed. She thought about the day's events her meeting with Mikoyasha, how she helped her with her clock and when she told she was a hanyou. She was really nice girl she thought to herself I hope she and I can became good friends. She then remembered Krory. The thought of him made her blush no don't think about it too much he was just being nice that's all. She found it difficult to sleep until she heard a sweet song. What a lovely song yawn I feel tired and with that she fell asleep.

Somewhere else in the black order Krory was getting ready for bed. He stretched and let out a great big yawn "time for bed" he tucked himself into bed and thought about his encounter with Mikoyasha. She was really scary at first but she was actually really nice he thought I think we can be good friends. He then thought of Mairanda and blushed she's certainly a lovely young lady. He then heard that same song what sweet music. Four souls one heart Connected by a spark. He then drifted to sleep with that song in mind.

In another part of the black order Allen just finish a few exercises before he when to bed. He thought of everything that happened in these last few days: almost dying from being crushed by a bolder, seeing he friends almost meet their doom, all the madness of the three tasks, meeting real demons and of course Mikoyasha. He then remembered today's events. "She sure got herself in to a lot of trouble today." He giggled to himself as he remembered what happened to Kanda serves him right for being such a jerk all the time. He had one of his creepy smiled on his face. He then heard someone singing "Mikoyasha?" he questioned. He didn't know why but he thinks this voice belongs to Mikoyasha. What a beautiful song he laid down in bed and listen to the song. As it ended he fell asleep.


Little did anyone know something else was string in another place far from this world. In fact it was in another world all together a world where creatures with unimaginable strength and power lie. They all lived in somewhat harmony in the four nations of the Western, Eastern, Southern and Northern Kingdoms.

In the Sothern Kingdom a young woman was fast asleep in a grand king size bed with silk covers and blankets. A small bird entered her camber and chirped loudly to get her attention. "What is it?" the woman moaned sleepily and with slight annoyance from being woken up from her beautiful dreams. The bird chirped some more and the woman shot out of the covers "are you serious? You better not be pulling my leg" the bird chirped some more to explain the situation. "Then I better get ready" she jumped out of and dashed into her closet which was more like another room just full of clothes. Several high quality kimonos flew out "I have to get my hair fix, figure out what I have to wear, choose a weapon oh there so much I have to do" she jumped around with glee. "Finally it's my chance to take her down and take to jewel's power for myself" she spun around and squealed "I can't wait!"

In the Northern Kingdom the king called upon his eldest son. The son entered the room and knelt down respectfully to his father. The king stared at him "son I have something to tell you" he told him "an old rival of yours appears to have come back to life"

His son's eyes widen "you don't mean..."

"Yes, she has returned" the king spoke

He son smiled happily "this is great! Finally a worthy challenger to test my skills on"

"Indeed" the king's faces became serious "but remember she will not be easily defeated also take the Shikon jewel. If you can that is"

"Yeah yeah" he waved off his father and headed to the exit. As he walked out of the snowy courtyard he saw a familiar someone. It was the woman from the Southern kingdom. "I'm guessing you heard about her return as well"

"Yup" she said with a sly smile "I also know where she is"

"Great but I think we should get him as well" the man said "he'll definitely want a piece of this action." The tow nodded at each other and headed for the eastern kingdom.

In the eastern kingdom a young man desperately tried to get out of the hands of his and I quote 'crazy wacked out devil sisters'.

"Oh come on you'll look so cute in it" one of the sisters said

"I said no! I refused to where that thing" he yelled back at them. The sisters were trying to get him in a yellow yukata with kitten faces on that show different expressions and had pink hearts and purple swirls here a there. He slammed the door shut behind him "why did I have to be the only boy in the family?" he groaned.

It was then a messenger arrived and bowed down to the young man "young lord I bring good news"

"What is it?" he asked

"It is said that lady Mikoyasha of the Western Kingdom is alive"

"What! Is this true?" he asked

"Yes my lord" the messenger replied

Although the young man kept a straight face his eyes gleamed with happiness and hope. I knew it. I knew she wasn't dead He thought to himself she is far too strong to be defeated by mere humans. "You are dismissed" he said and the massager went his own way. The man made sure he was gone before dashed out.

"Going somewhere?" asked a familiar voice.

He turned around to see the man from the Northern Kingdom and the woman of the Sothern Kingdom. "Oh it's you guys" he said in surprise "I'm guessing you all know" they nodded "anyone knows where we can find her?"

"I know where she is" the woman said

"Then what are we waiting for" exclaimed the northern lord "let's get going"

With that they headed outside. They stood together in a circle and canted a spell. A magic circle appeared below them and pictures of the other world were show. They saw campanile like building sorrowed by forest greenery. "Is that where she is?" asked the young Eastern lord.

"That's right" said the woman with a smile "so what are you going to do when you see her?" she asked the Eastern lord "you tow are quite close despite the fact your families hate each other. Perhaps it is because you are both the same"

"It is none of your business" he told her "what I choose to do is my decision alone"

"Came you guys" said the Northern lord "let's go!" with that he jumped into the portal with the other two right behind him.


Morning came and Mikoyasha was heading towards the dining hall along with Miranda. They were having a nice little chat together as they entered the dining hall. Everyone was merrily eating together and had their own conversations. It was quite a happy and calm atmosphere.

It was around that time someone called out to the two girls "hay new girls over here" yelled a very cheerful and unfamiliar voice in some sort of foreign accent. The girls look towards were the voice was coming from and saw a dark tanned man with and long light purple hair tied up in two parts. He wore a sleeveless chef overall that had the character love on the back and a pair of black shades. He was waving franticly at the two of them. They walked towards the hyperactive man. He grinned at the two girls "you must be the two newcomers I heard so much about. Hi my name's Jerry" he said in a flamboyant way.

Mikoyasha smiled back and bowed respectfully "it is a pleasure to meet you my name is Mikoyasha"

Mirada was a little flustered but followed her lead "and my name is Maranda" she said slightly nervous

"Aw aren't you two the sweetness little things" he exclaimed with his hands on his cheek and little hearts around his head. "So polite! Now then what can I get you two fine ladies?" he asked them with a large smile. "Anything you want just name it"

Mirada thought for awhile. "Umm may I have same bread rolls and marmalade with same egg? Maybe even a light salad with that"

"You got it" Jerry said excitedly and then turned to Mikoyasha "and what about you?"

She thought long and hard unsure of what to eat "hum" she rubbed her chin thinking of the dish her mother always loved "I think I'll have some...oden"

"Alright" his glasses gleamed a bit and he got to work on the girls' orders. Within minutes he was done and handed the girls their food. "Enjoy" he said happily.

The girl said thank you and took the two trays. They walked away and saw Allen, Krory, Lavi and Lenalee all on one table. They girls walked over to them until Mikoyasha spotted a certain blue haired exorcist from the corner of her eye. She turned her head to see him all alone on a table eating what appeared to be soba noodles. She stopped in her tracks "you go ahead Mirada there is something I must do." Mirada nodded and went her own way while Mikoyasha headed towards the lone samurai.

Kanda was just eating his lunch when a shadow loomed over him. He looked up to see his least favourite person. He grunted and turned his head to the side "what do you want?" he snapped at her.

"Nothing much" she replied and sat herself down in front of him and ate her food.

Kanda didn't bother much so he continued eating however he kept on feeling her eyes on him. He glared at her with a scowl "what?"

"Nothing" she said bluntly as she took a bite of her food "it's just that..."

"It's just that what?" he said in irritation

"Are you not going to ask me about what happened yesterday?"

"About what?" He said even more irritated. He really didn't want to remember yesterdays' events what with his hair been cut off and the 'makeover' Mikoyasha did. He also found out from Lenalee that Mikoyasha was tough to shame an opponent if she was not going to kill them. He didn't like it but he had somewhat of a strange respect for it.

"About my sword" she replied bluntly

He then remembered the voice he heard. "I won't let you hurt her" it said. "che I really don't care." He took a sip of his coffee "it's none of my business anyway"

"Hum" she said as she took another bite of her oden "very well" the two of them ate their food in silent. Everyone watched in amazement and slight confusion after what happened yesterday they thought they would be at each other's throats. The hanyou finished her food "I must be going. See you around" she was about to leave when she sense something in the shadows. Something demonic. Quickly, she grabbed a knife from the nearby table and shot it in the shadows.

The knife flew past Lavi's cheek. He almost had a heart attack from the sudden shock. "What was that for Miko?" He cried.

The girl just stared coldly "came on out where I can see you" she demanded

A wicked laugher filled the room. Then all of a sudden a hurricane formed in fort of Mikoyasha. The wild winds howled as they twisted and turned. A wicked cackle could be heard from the eye of the storm. It soon died down and in its place was a woman in an emerald green kimono that showed off her legs and had a bird like pattern. She also wore armour on her arms and chest. She had quite an odd hair style that looked like three hoops sticking up and was covered with jewels. Her eyes were a fiery red as well as her hair. "HA HA HA! It's good to see your still alive Mikoyasha of the western province"

"Oh it's you" the hanyou said with a board look. She then heard some movement behind her "and it seems you're not alone" once again she grabbed some knifes and threw them in the shadows.

"Whoa whoa whoa easy there" yelled a voice. A figure stepped out of the shadows. It was a tall quite muscular man who wore thick woolly clothing and armour with dark blue and black colours. His hair was shoulder length and a mossy green colour while his eyes were dark blue. He had a cheesy grin on "well at lest we know you're still alive and kicking"

Another figure jumped out of the shadows. It was a young man with a lean body and short ginger hair with sharp eyes to match. He wore a simple short orange sleeveless yukata with a light brown obi and ankle length boots. He also had gold gauntlets with a small red jewel on both his arms and a red bandana over his head. "So it's true you're not dead" he said with little emotion.

"Oh great the lizard and cat are here too" she sighed heavily "what are you all doing here?"

Kanda drew his sword ready for battle "do you know these people?"

"Sadly, yes" she replied

The girl in the green kimono laughed wickedly "don't be like that Mikoyasha." She drew out a giant feather fan and fanned herself "after all we haven't seen you in such a long time. Now then let us introduces ourselves" she closed her fan and smiled confidently "I am Kimi of the Southern Kingdom."

Next the green haired man stepped forward "and I am Ryuu of the Northern Kingdom"

Lastly the gingered haired man stepped forward "and I am Takeo of the Eastern Kingdom"

"We challenge you Mikoyasha to a duel for the Shikon jewel" they said in unity


AN: Well I'm back sorry it took so long. I just want to say this story will not be following the original plot of d gray man though there might be some parts still the same and everything I do has a reason and it will be explained later on. Also I know we're not allowed to put readymade songs in but that little song was all me. Yes I made it and it's not the full song just the choirs (although I've done the full song) and it gives a clue on where this story is heading. Also I would like to try something new. I like to call it 'question the character'. Basically you type in a question for a character from the last chapter. Then it will be answered in the next chapter by that character. Since no one's really prepared any questions for the last chapter I will be asking some questions I think you all want answers to just to show you how it's done. I've also heard were not allowed to do scrip form in stories or add yourself in but to be fair this next part is not a part of the story so it think it's ok. Now then let's start:

Me: alright this question the character and we'll be asking questions for the characters from the previous chapter the clock woman and the vampire. First question goes to Krory have you forgotten about your old lover Eliade?

Krory: Eliade! Why on earth would you think that? (Waterfall tears)

Me: because you were acting so lovey dovey with Miranda

Krory: lovey dovey? I think you are mistaken I was only being a gentlemen that's all (blush)

Me: ok then. Next question is for Miranda. Were you not freaked out when she admit she was part demon?

Miranda: I was a shocked sure but she seemed really nice so I thought she wasn't a bad demon. I think she and I will be good friends.

Me: alright. Also how did you notice all of her demonic features so fast?

Miranda: well after reliving the same day over and over again you start to notice things you never did before. I guess I gain a keen eye because of it.

Me: interesting now Kanda why didn't get that back marker ink off while you still had a chance?

Kanda: (death glare) grr

Me: (sweat drop) ok I see you don't what to talk about it. Ok then Mikoyasha I'm sure we all want to know what's with all the barriers?

Mikoyasha: barriers? What do you mean?

Me: you know the barrier that stopped Miranda when she rushed to her clock and the barrier that stopped Kanda form getting near you and flung him about. Also why couldn't you hear Kanda when he was shouting at you? Was it because the barrier was sound proof?

Mikoyasha: I did not make any barriers. Wait Kanda was shouting at me? I never heard him.

Kanda: what do you mean you never heard me you damn woman!

Mikoyasha: I am telling you the truth I did not heard him or made any barriers.

Me: then how...?

Mysterious voices: we were the ones who made the barriers.

(Everyone looked around in confusion)

Me: who are you two? Where are you two?

Mysterious voices: that's for us to know and for you to fine out.

Me: ok? Now then final question Tessaiga can you really talk?

Tessaiga: (long silence)...yes (very quite)

Me: How?

Tessaiga: I can't tell you sorry but it will be explained later on.

Me: that's alright. Well that's it for now we'll see you next time. Don't forget to review and ask questions for our characters from this chapter. All you have to do is type in the character's name and your question and it will be answered in the next chapter.
