Another World

A Crossover Fic: Inu-yasha and Magic Knight RayEarth

Author: Chi Senshi

Date begun: 7-18-02

Description: What if Inu-yasha and friends (or stalkers) found another

well? That took them to a different world?

Note: This takes place while Inu-yasha and Kagome are looking for the

final pieces of the Shikon jewel, and the version for RayEarth is going

to be based on the original manga version, since I think the ending on

the anime thoroughly sucked. I'll try to make this a little humorous,

but I plan on having it a little serious once in awhile. There's a

little bit of bad language from our friend Inu-yasha, and a little

suggestive dialogue. So if you don't appreciate that sort of stuff I

suggest you go no further, for you have been warned my friend.

Disclaimer: Inu-yasha and Co. is the property of the sharp-minded

Rumiko Takehashi, and Magic Knight Rayearth belongs to the wonderful

ladies of CLAMP. Seriously, I own NOTHING-unless of course I throw

some imaginary people into the mix.then they belong to me.anyway!

Onward Ho!

Introduction: The Discovery-

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------

Shippo stared at Kagome; she and Inu-yasha had had another

quarrel. Inu-yasha thought they should go right on the forest fork

they had come to, but Kagome insisted left was the correct direction

to another Shikon shard. However, Inu-yasha, being the prideful half-

demon that he is, was, persisted upon the fact that he was right.

Kagome had stayed put and watched his retreating back, muttering curses

under his breath.

"Baka. I can't believe him! He knows I can sense the Shikon

shard's correct locations! What does he think he's doing?"

"But what about that time-?" Shippo asked, only to be cut off

by Kagome ("Shut up!") before he could finish his sentence. He glared

at her gently and sat down with a huff.

"I'm sorry Shippo...it's not your fault, I shouldn't have

snapped at you." Kagome patted the small kitsune on the head. He

responded by crossing his arms.

"I know you're worried about him, but he has the Tetsusaiga,

he can handle himself."

"I am not worried about that egotistical maniac Shippo!"

"Whatever you say Kagome-san..."

*~^~*

Inu-yasha was pushing through some tough underbrush. /Okay...so

maybe this isn't the right direction...But I sure as hell ain't gonna

give up and give Kagome anything else to tease me about. I'll just say

that...um...I'll figure that out later./ All the trees getting in his

way were frustrating Inu-yasha. He was starting to hack his way through,

but he didn't know what was on the other side. Well...it never stopped

him before. He grabbed a hold of Tetsusaiga's hilt and took a step

forward, when he pulled it out and took a swing at a branch after

cutting, he hit something solid. Like a wall. He put his hand forward

and touched the wall; it was made of stone. He wondered at how the

Tetsusaiga hadn't even dented the stone. He felt his way around it

after putting the Tetsusaiga back in it's scabbard, pulling down vines

and dead tree limbs until he reached the corner of the structure. He

pushed his way past and came upon a clearing, the area looked really

old. There was a range of different sized rocks scattered on the ground.

Some the size of pebbles, others were boulders as tall as Inu-yasha and

twice as wide. Some were covered in moss and lichen. One of the largest

boulders had a scrap of some sort of fabric lying upon it. There was

no trace of the breeze here that had rustled his long locks back on

the main path with Kagome; it felt as if time had stopped. He looked

to his left and saw the structure he had been clearing off.



It was as if at one time it had been a stone house suddenly

cleaved in half by a huge sword, except there were steps leading up to

the floor of it, only two or three though. In the center of the floor

was a plain looking well. Behind it was a faded scroll hanging on

back wall; he walked closer to examine it. The scroll had a picture

painted on it; it looked like a picture of a universe, with four

planets. Inu-yasha was thoroughly confused; he placed his hand on the

Tetsusaiga's hilt as he leaned forward cautiously. One planet looked

like one of Kagome's 'gum-balls' with tiny rocks flying about it with

two large cones on either end. Another seemed to look as if it had

imploded, leaving only a few pieces of the outer crust floating around

grey ice. For the third planet, it was painted hard to make out what

it looked like, but it was round and looked like might be rings around

it. The fourth sphere looked like a copy of Earth only much brighter

and more colorful-not so blue with white streaks. It wasn't that extra-

ordinary. ((Of course, Inu-yasha wasn't supposed to know what earth

looked like from space, but he did since he had *coughaccidentallycough*

looked through her science book-supposedly it had fallen out of her

pack and fell open to the page about the solar system-he happened to

know what the planet looked like...hmmm...well, on with the story.))

Inu-yasha stared for a few more minutes before heading back to the

others. /They might be interested in it...I'll go tell Kagome and

Shippo about it./ Inu-yasha looked left and right trying to gain his

bearing. Sniffing the air he caught the scent of Kagome, breathing

deeply he continued forward following his nose. /...I wish I had

Kagome's pack, I'm sure she had plenty of junk in it that I could use

to make a path so I don't get lost on the way back here later.../



*~^~*



Kagome looked up as Inu-yasha gently jumped down from a tree

over-head. She had decided to make camp and wait for Inu-yasha to

come to his senses. She smiled gently at him as he looked over at her

from his landing spot.

"So you finally decided-." Inu-yasha cut her off.

"I found something."

"What? What did you find?"

"Another Shikon shard?? All by yourself?" Shippo chimed in

from the other side of the fire.

"Shut up fox. No," Inu-yasha walked closer to Kagome and kneeled

slightly. She looked at him expectantly.

"I found a..." His voice trailed off as he thought of how to

explain it.

"A what?" Kagome prompted, getting a little irritated.

"It looks like a shrine made of stone, but it can't be.

The Tetsusaiga doesn't even scratch the stone it's made of. It has a

well in the center of the floor, and steps, and...a picture."

"A picture? And a well...in the middle of nowhere?"

"Well that is what you would call it, it's more like a painted

scroll. Only with color."

"Is that so...?"

"Did you hit your head Inu-yasha? Ruins don't just pop up in a

dense forest suddenly."

Inu-yasha looked over in the kitsune's direction. "I told you

to shut up fox! There was a clearing, however it is obvious it was

supposed to be kept a secret! There were vines swarming the thing!"

"Where is it?" Kagome cut in.

"Down the right path in the fork..." Inu-yasha growled.

"So it didn't lead to a Shikon jewel shard?"

He glared at her. "How do you know there aren't some down the

well!?"

"And how do you know there are?? Something alive needs to take

the shard into itself."

"Well...what if there was a frog down the well that the shard

imbedded itself in and that frog turned into a demon frog but then

couldn't get out because it grew too fat to get itself out of the shaft

of the well and has been stuck there since the jewel broke apart, but

it is plotting to get out soon and kills us!" Shippo's eyes had steadily

began to grow wider and wider as he spoke; a twig in the distance

snapped. "AHH!!"

Kagome and Inu-yasha turned their heads slowly towards Shippo

as he talked. Kagome raised an eyebrow, Inu-yasha's right eye twitched.

After Shippo screamed he looked at them, then put his head down, his

eyes moving in a semi-shifty eyed way.

"S-Sorry..."

"Um...no...I don't think that's a possibility." Kagome said,

before turning back to Inu-yasha, who was talking again.

"Well we could always just go down the well!"

"But what it it's just a normal well with water at the bottom?"

Shippo asked.

"Well then one of us would get wet." Inu-yasha put in his final

word and sat back mumbling. "Stupid girl...stupid kitsune."



*~^~*



The next morning Inu-yasha lead the human and the fox-thing to

the shrine, only getting lost once or twice.

"Kagome-samaaa...!" Shippo whined. "I'm sooo tired, we've been

walking since the sun came up, and it's nearly noon...my stomach hurts,

and my feet too."

"Shut up fox! Stop complaining, we're almost there." Inu-yasha

said crossly.

"It's alright Shippo-san, would you like me to carry you?"

Kagome asked the poor little creature.

"Oh, yes! Yes! Thank you Kagome-sama!" The little kitsune

jumped up on her shoulder and held on.

Suddenly they came on the shrine. Inu-yasha had smashed one of

his hands on the wall he met before, trying to swipe a branch out of

his way. He shook it vigorously, feeling his way around the corner

again, he led the others into the clearing. The other two stared at

the surroundings. Kagome put Shippo and her pack down muttering, "It

really does exist..."

"Feh. Of course it does."

Kagome shot a glare at the speaker and walked up the steps to

study the painted scroll for a few moments, /Maybe Miroku would know

something about this place./ and soon after, immediately walked up to

the well, inspecting it. Inu-yasha was suddenly there. Either that or

she was just noticing him.

"Be careful Kagome."

"What? Shippo's frog-demon scaring you? I'm fine Inu-yasha."

"Feh. There's no demon down there." Kagome ignored him as she

looked down the well.

"So, how are we going to figure out what kind of well it is?"

Shippo asked.

Kagome picked up a pebble-sized rock from the assortment on

the ground and dropped it down the well. They waited a minute or two,

but no sound came up the walls. Inu-yasha turned away to watch the noon

sky.

"Well then, shall we see if we can travel?" Kagome asked the

two males.

"It could just be a really deep well. To be safe I'll go." Inu-

yasha said in a gentlmanly fashion, his back turned to the well. When

he turned around Kagome was gone. "Kagome!? Where did that wench go??"

"Down the well." Inu-yasha glared at Shippo.

"And you let her!!?"

"Well...there wasn't much I could do..."

"Argh! Why isn't she ever around when I say something nice!?"

Inu-yasha jumped into the well.

Unsure of what else to do, Shippo hopped onto the rim of the

well and let himself fall in, eventually grabbing onto Inu-yasha's

hair. "Wait for me!"
