This is a work of fanfiction and is not to be taken literally.
Author's Note: In this episode Crystal will meet up with several of the characters from Inu-Yasha as well as ending up going on a little trip into the past. I should note that by the second season this will basically become part of the regular series.
------Introduction------
It had been a week since Rachel [myself] had returned to her own world after causing who knows how much chaos in the Anime Universe. As her primary character, Crystal Mizuka, I thought that the insanity was over for good. It was only the beginning, because now that Rachel is back in her own world, she has every intention of continuing this story, even if she isn't going to be a part of it.
Of course, I must admit that this adventure idea is a lot more interesting than my life returning to the way it was before Rachel showed up. I just hope this doesn't cause too much trouble in the future, or I might be held responsible for it.
------Into the Past------
During the week that Rachel had been gone, Crystal had gone off on a little training trip in the mountains. She wanted to get away from it all, or more specifically she wanted to get away from the creature that was invading her refridgerator [even if it was still lodged in the hallway.] She wanted to get away from Shiva, who had since decided to invite himself to stay in HER apartment. Crystal growled quietly as it occured to her that it had gotten dark.
She hadn't been on a regular day and night schedule during the week, but she assumed that maybe she should find a safe place to spend the night. That was when she saw the strange building in the distance, nevermind the fact that there were probably lights on other buildings around it [that for my purposes she didn't notice.] She found that the door was open, and being who she was slipped inside. This seemed like a nice safe place, if you ignored the fact that there was an overly suspicious well in the middle of the room. Crystal's curiousity got the better of her and she walked over to it.
A strong gust of wind blew and Crystal was sent sprawling downward.
*~*~*~*~*
Crystal jumped out of the well and found herself in a forest. She mentally shouted at Rachel ~Enough with you and your damn forests already!~
Crystal was too tired to protest any further and jumped up into the nearest tree. She fell asleep relatively quickly.
*~*~*~*~*
Shiva marched into the living room of the VERY empty apartment. Crystal was gone and it was terribly boring, but there was always the refridgerator. Shiva yawned boredly and decided to see who else he could bother in Nerima.
*~*~*~*~*
*Crash!*
Crystal openned her eyes a crack, and forgetting she was up in a tree rolled to the side like she was getting off of her futon. She fell to the ground from where she had been in the tree.
*Thud!*
"What just happened?" she asked no one in particular.
"Roar!" came a voice that seemed to be coming towards her.
"If that's Pantyhose Taro, I swear I am not in the mood for this!" shouted Crystal irritatedly.
Crystal had managed to wake up enough to orient herself with her surroundings. She was reasonably sure this whole thing was Rachel's doing, even though she was off in an other world, she was still the annoying fanfiction author that she herself was based on. She would have sent more mental complaints to Rachel, if she hadn't seen the creature that was making that loud roaring sound.
The creature in question looked like something like a cross between a humanoid dragon and a grizzly bear. It was big, furry and very scary looking. It was also carry a very large spiked club. It roared again and Crystal thought that maybe she should run away.
She took off running wildly. She didn't know where she was going, but she wanted to get far away from the monster that was chasing her.
"Let me guess, this is the Digital World and that is one of those evil Digimon," muttered Crystal as she turned around.
Running wasn't working, so it seemed she would have to stand her ground and fight after all. She drew the sword that was strapped over her shoulder [now refered to as the Dragon Blade] and took up and defensive stance.
"At least I can get some decent training out of this," said Crystal.
The monste swung its giant spiked club at her head, but she was gone before it could connect. She was up on the monster's shoulder and she slashed the sword through the arm that was holding the club, causing it to fall limply to the ground while she herself jumped into a nearby tree.
"Er--Digimon shatter into data, they don't turn into a bloody mess," muttered Crystal. "That thing is just a monster."
She thought better of the situation, "I was worried about THAT?!"
The monster took a step towards her. Crystal sheathed her sword and smirked as she struck the ground with a shout of, "Bakusai Tenketsu!" causing the ground to shatter out from beneath the massive monster. Then she jumped up into the air above the canyon that the monster had fallen into and formed a sphere of silver energy between her hands. She then shouted, "Mystic Light!" sending the sphere down into the canyon, dissolving what was left of the monster into dust.
She landed lightly on her feet and decided to find civilization. She was reasonably certain she wouldn't find Nerima, or Shiva for that matter.
*~*~*~*~*
Shiva was at Ucchan's Okonomiyaki eating what appeared to be his 12th helping. A vein was visible on Ukyo's forehead, but Shiva ignored it and continued to eat.
*~*~*~*~*
"What do you mean you were on the trail of a demon?" asked Kagome.
Inuyasha replied, "I could smell the demon and I followed the source. When I found it, there was only an arm left near a very unnatural looking canyon."
"Who could have done that?" asked Shippo.
Inuyasha said, "Well there was another scent in the air, a really strange one that seemed somewhat human, but the rest of it was just strange."
"We'll probably find out who is sooner or later," said Kagome.
*~*~*~*~*
"All there is around here is forest, forest and more forest! Rachel might like these places, but I'm getting hungry and I want breakfast!" shouted a thoroughly frustrated Crystal on the verge of becoming a dragon and breaking the barrier between anime and reality.
The sudden appearence of what apeared to be a blue phoenix stopped her from going through the violent thoughts she was thinking about a certain fanfiction author.
"Dammit, not again!" Crystal broke into a run as a wave of fire came down at her. "Ahh!"
*~*~*~*~*
Shiva was now sitting at the Neko-Hanten with his third bowl of ramen. So far, no one was going to kick him out yet.
*~*~*~*~*
The Inuyasha group was on the move. Kagome and Shippo were with Inuyasha while Sango and Miroku were with Kirara. They were in pursuit of a rather familiar looking blue phoenix.
"Are you sure it's the same scent?" asked Kagome.
"Yes," said Inuyasha for the third time. "Whatever it is, it seems to be ahead of that overgrown bird."
*~*~*~*~*
Crystal was really starting to get sick of running. She didn't like the idea of getting burned by that fire, but on the other hand she didn't really think she could keep up her current pace very much longer. Either way, she would eventually have to turn around and face that thing head on. All she wanted was something to eat for breakfast, something that didn't consist of berries or questionable fruit that she had seen Rachel and Zapmon eating when they were traveling between worlds like it was a holiday.
This whole thing was making Crystal very frustrated. Her pace began to slow as the hunger started to get to her. A whisp of flame stung her back and a low growl escaped her throat before the change came into effect.
A very pissed off looking, humanoid blue dragon was glaring at the annoying blue phoenix that was keeping her from breakfast.
*~*~*~*~*
"The scent just changed," stated Inuyasha.
Shippo spotted something, "That's a really small dragon."
There was an odd silence, although the phoenix creature was making terrible squawking noises, as the group stared at the odd scene before them.
"Roar!" shrieked the dragon in an almost human manor. The dragon extended the blades on each of its elbows and smashed right through the phoenix creature, ripping it appart completely.
Once that was settled, the dragon returned to its human form. Crystal collapsed to the ground, the back of her black tank-top was singed, but she wasn't actually injured. She was simply unconscious.
*~*~*~*~*
"Alright, is she a human or a dragon?" asked Shippo.
Inuyasha said, "She's more of a human than a dragon, but whatever else she is is mixed up with that dragon scent."
"When I'm finished with that overgrown chicken I am going to roast it and bring it back to Nerima for Shiva!" exclaimed Crystal in a semi-conscious state.
Sango said, "That's going to be rather hard, considering there isn't anything left."
Crystal blinked and sat up rubbing her head, "Ack...I transformed into a dragon again!"
"She's seems alright," said Miroku.
"Considering the clothes, she must not be from this time, but how did she get here?" said Sango.
Crystal rose to her feet, "I think I know exactly how that happened. A certain person who likes to control my life has a tendency to lead me to strange places I've never been to before, causes me to fall into some magic pit that leaves me in a forest where I can't even find civilization and then has me attacked by monsters!"
"Demons actually," said Miroku.
"Alright, demons then," said Crystal. "I am going to rip that lunatic appart."
Shippo said, "I don't think she means Naraku."
Miroku clasped her hands, "Putting all of that aside, will you bare my child?"
*Crack!*
Crystal whacked Miroku over the head with what could only be the Sledge Hammer of Doom. Then the hammer was gone and Crystal was simply glaring at the unconscious monk.
"I'm out of here," said Crystal.
She started off into the distance.
"She's good," said Shippo.
*~*~*~*~*
A short time later, Crystal found herself surrounded by a familiar light. This could only mean that Washu was transporting her to the lab. For once, she didn't mind at all.
*~*~*~*~*
When she arrived, Crystal saw that Shiva and Lip were already there. She was about to greet them when a powerful weight crashed down on her back. Her sword felt like it weighed a ton. She quickly unstrapped it and let it drop to the floor as she got to her feet.
"What the heck is going on?!" demanded Crystal.
Washu replied, "It seems that some unknown source is draining the magic from the planet Earth. You three will need to work together to deal with it."
"WHAT?!" shouted Crystal, Shiva and Lip at the same time.
*~*~*~*~*
