Chapter 2: Other World Trouble
A very large portal opened up and a group of people came falling through and onto a cleared forest ground. They all landed in a messy pile with Wolfwood at the very bottom. Koga was on top of him followed by Miroku, Sanosuke, Inuyasha, then Sesshomaru, Kenshin, Meryl, Milly, then Sango, Kaoru, Yahiko, Shippo, and lastly Kilala. Vash was the lucky one, because he landed right next to Wolfwood, but outside of the pile of people. "Ah, I can't breathe! Get off of me!" Wolfwood yelled while gasping for air.
"Well, I suppose it's a good thing that I didn't land in the pile, or I would be in the same situation as you." Vash told him. He had fallen on the floor right next to Wolfwood, only he was the only one who did not land in the pile. "So much for your peaceful life full of no adventure." Wolfwood commented. Vash just sighed. "Excuse me? Please get off. Move it you idiots! Get off of me or you will be sorry!" they heard people say who were in the pile.
"Grrr…Sesshomaru! Your stupid thing that you wear around your neck is itching me!" Inuyasha yelled. "You weak humans need to get off of me! I can't breathe!" Koga shouted. "Uh Koga, If we are so weak, then why are you not able to breathe?" Miroku said to the wolf demon. "Shut up!" was all that Koga replied. Then Miroku who was only one person down from Inuyasha yelled to him, "Where is Kagome, Inuyasha?!" "Kagome!" Inuyasha thought.
Then suddenly the portal, which had recently disappeared, opened up once more, and Kagome, and the chair that Milly had grabbed onto before they were sucked into the portal, came flying through. "Kagome is headed for that rock!" Koga yelled. "Get off of me now! I must save Kagome!" he yelled, but no one could move, they were all too much in a tangle. Vash stood up and knew that she was going to hit the rigid surface. He picked up a small rock and threw it at the chair, causing it to position itself in midair in a precise way. Right as Kagome was about to hit the rough surface the chair went underneath her and she was forced to sit down in it. When she hit the rock the chair broke, but she was safe with no scratches or bruises. "Whoa, that was close. Thanks Mister!" Kagome called. The pile of people was no longer a pile. Everyone was standing up and dusting themselves off.
"Oh man I felt like I was going to die" Sanosuke said. "This is an odd situation, that it is." Kenshin said. "Yeah but where are we?" Kaoru asked him. Kaoru then turned to see what Yahiko was doing. He was talking with Shippo. "So your name is Shippo? I'm Yahiko. You are a demon?" Yahiko asked. Shippo then replied, "Yep, but I'm a small one. As much as I don't like to say, I'm really not that strong."
"What is the meaning of this!? I demand to go back to my world right now! I want to know who is behind this, and mark my words, their blood will spill!!" a frustrated Sesshomaru griped. "Hey Sesshomaru! Shut up! If they don't send us back then I will make sure that they end up just like Naraku, Ha!" Inuyasha said angrily. Vash who overheard the conversation quickly said to them, "Whoa! Hey there is no need to kill anyone. You know that it is wrong to take the life of another, right?"
"Are you for real?" Inuyasha said blankly. "I must agree with the man wearing the red. There should be another way to take care of the situation." Kenshin said.
"Ha! Ya see! Even he agrees with me!" Inuyasha said.
"No, he's agreeing with me!" Vash shouted.
"He said the man in the red! So apparently he was talking about me!"
"You must be kidding! He said Man not Boy! And I'm wearing red also!"
"Oh brother" Kagome sighed. "Kenshin, from now on please don't agree with anyone!" Kaoru said.
"Silence!" an old voice shouted. Vash and Inuyasha stopped arguing. Everyone turned to look at a little old lady who was now standing not far from them. "Thank you. You are all probably won--" the lady started, but she was cut off by Koga, "Hey, old woman! I wish to return to my own time! I want to know what is going on." Yahiko then turned to him and said, "She was about to tell us!"
"Ahem…Anyways, no more interruptions would be appreciated. Alright then. Let me explain. The reason why all of you were brought here was because this planet has been flooded by evil and must be saved. You were the ones I chose from different time eras that I knew could save this planet. You must retrieve the two halves of the Suraipauc sacred stone from the Northern and Southern half of the world. The first half of the stone is located in the North and the second in the south. If you bring both halves to me then you will be sent back to your own times."
"So we have to retrieve a stone." Miroku said. "That sounds easy enough, we get the stone and then we will be on our way." Sango added. Wolfwood who had been leaning up against a large rock on the ground stood up strait. "I don't think that it will be that simple. She said that the world is engulfed by evil, which probably means this wont be an easy task," he told them.
The old lady then spoke once again, "You are correct. There is a large tower in each half of the planet. One half of the sacred stone lies in one tower and the other half lies in the other. This planet is fairly small compared to yours so the towers are only about a few days walking distance from each other. However, I have split this group up depending on their abilities. Group 1 will go after the half of the stone in the southern quadrant and group 2 will go after the other half in the Northern quadrant. The stone in the Northern quadrant should be easier to get rather than the one in the southern quadrant."
"We're being paired up? But how come we don't we have a say?" Shippo asked. "Because you just don't!" The old lady snapped. "eeek! Okay…" he said.
"Okay, I know all of your names so there is no trading spaces on the teams! Group 1 consists of the half demon, Inuyasha, and Kagome, Koga, the pip squeak; Shippo, and Kenshin, Sanosuke, Vash, and Nicholas. Group 2 consists of the gripe, Sesshomaru, and Miroku, Sango, the little aiding creature; Kilala, Kaoru, Yahiko, Meryl, and Milly."
"Oh brother, what are we, little kids," Kagome thought. "Hey grandma, what happens if we don't help?!" Inuyasha said. The old lady gave Inuyasha an annoyed stare, and then finally smiled and said, "Then you and everyone else will spend the rest of your lives here until I do receive the sacred stones." There was a brief moment of silence, and then Vash told the old lady, "I will be glad to help you." "Hey needle noggin, it's not like we have a choice." Wolfwood told Vash.
"Listen old woman! I warn you, after you do receive these senseless stones, your pathetic life will reach a fortunate end." Sesshomaru told the old lady. "Hey Vash, Look Legato's twin!" Wolfwood said to Vash. Vash was quick to tell him, "Shhh! Be quiet, he'll hear you." The old lady then spoke once again, "But little man! It will not be so easy to defeat me as you think!" "Little man? Hahaha!" Inuyasha said while laughing. "Silence you ignorant half breed!" Sesshomaru yelled.
"Enough! Be silent!…My grandson, Jin, will accompany group 1, and his twin sister, my granddaughter, Rena, will accompany group 2. They know their way around, they will help you. My grandchildren should arrive any minuet now to greet you. They too know who you are so you cannot switch teams or you will be punished! If you do not retrieve both halves of the medallion by the next Icy moon then you will all be punished! Punishment being that I throw one of you into a pit full of our planets evilest demons and have everyone watch you as you are devoured." And with that the old woman turned around and vanished.
"Oh goodness…" Milly said. Then Meryl finished, "…how horrible. We have no choice but to find those medallion halves or one of us will die." Kaoru then anxiously said, "Well that's certainly not going to be me! You all better help find those medallion pieces! I for one do not want to be thrown into a pit and fed to demons!" "I'll s-second that," Shippo agreed.
"Oh man, What have you gotten us into this time Vash?" Meryl asked the blonde headed guy. "Me? Hey, but I didn't get us into anything." he answered. "But trouble does follow you everywhere." Meryl intelligently said.
There was a noise. Everyone looked around. They all could hear the sound of leafs crunching. "Oh good! That lady's grandchildren are here, that they are." Kenshin said.
But what now stepped before them were not human looking creatures. They were demons! They were pig-like looking demons to be exact. The creatures had a huge pig snout, stood on two legs, and were extremely heavy. Their skin looked filthy, as it was covered in dirt and mud. The body odor that the pig demons let out smelled of the nastiest smell.
"Ahehe, that old lady sure does have really ugly grandchildren!" Sanosuke said. "Yeah, put the old lady, her two grandchildren, and Kaoru in a beauty pageant and I think that the old lady would win." Yahiko said. "What did you say!" a fire eyed Kaoru yelled. She grabbed leaves, twigs, rocks, and what ever she could find and started chunking them at Yahiko's head, "And WHY wouldn't I win! Anyways that is not very nice to say about them!" Kaoru then walked up towards the large demons. "Hello, I'm Kaoru. You must forgive my friends, they are about as smart as a tree stump. Are you---" "Look out" came a voice. Miroku, who was standing closest to Kaoru, grabbed her and pulled her back. One of the pig demons stomped in anger, because he did not take the lady's head off of her body.
"Well you can forget I ever said hello to you!" Kaoru yelled. "I'll take care of this!" Inuyasha said. He ran forward toward the demon, while unsheathing Tetsusaiga. Then he held up his sword and prepared to slice one of the demons in half. "Here it goes!" He yelled. Right as he was about to slice the creatures in half suddenly his sword veered off course and instead cut a tree. He looked over and saw that Vash had caused that. "Hey! What the hell is your problem!?!" "It's wrong to take the life of any creature." Vash said proudly. "Dammit! What do you want us to do? Kill it or let it kill us?!" "Can't we just run away?" Vash asked. "What an idiot." Inuyasha said under his breath.
Suddenly two teenagers, a boy and a girl, came running from behind the pigs and sliced them in half. "Hello, I'm Jin and this is my sister Rena," the boy said. He had navy blue hair and light skin. A blue shirt and brown pants were what he wore. The girl had red hair light skin, and wore a pink shirt and red pants. Both had grayish-hazel eyes and carried a sheath on their back. Also both of the kids looked to be about 15 years old. "Hey you killed them!" Vash said disappointedly. "Aww I was gonna kill them…" Inuyasha whined. Rena quickly said, "We must hurry and get away from here. They are not dead." "Not dead? Are they zombies or something?" Sanosuke said. "I have no idea what zombies are but lets get going." Jin yelled to the group of people. The demons where beginning to regain consciousness. As soon as they saw that, they all took off running away from the demons. It seemed to get darker and darker every second that they ran away.
