Inuyasha/Dante: Crimson
One's a sword-wielding badass clad in red. The other is a sword-wielding badass clad in red. When they team up, even Naraku may cry.
Ch. 1: Between Inuyasha and a Hard Case
He cursed at himself as he flipped up to his feet. He should have seen that one coming. Maybe he was overconfident after beating Mundus. Maybe he was just careless. Whatever, it didn't matter. He quickly scanned the ground for Alastor. It was lying on the ground just a few feet from him. He dove. Rolled, and picked up the blade just seconds before a blast of energy would have done devil knows what to him. He looked at his query, a humanoid demon with black armor, sullen features, and white hair. He carried a large sword that almost seemed to be alive itself. Dante smirked and locked his eyes onto the demon.
"I hope that's not all you got, I was hoping for a challenge."
"Don't get too cocky," a female voice told him. He turned to see a sexy, black leather clad blonde approached, carrying the blade he had given her, the sword that bore his father's name, Sparda.
"C'mon, Trish. What's the worst he can do? Kill me? We all got our time, and mine sure as Hell ain't up."
"That is what you think, fool." The demon raised his hand and caught him in a purple beam. He let out a cry not of pain, but more of surprise.
"Shit!" the man yelled.
Trish ran to free him, but the energy expanded and knocked her off her feet. The ground opened up under him, and he fell himself fall. He still couldn't move, he could only look up to see Trish at the chasm's top, reaching out for him.
"Danteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!"

"There standeth Minos horribly, and snarls; Examines the transgressions at the entrance; Judges, and sends according as he girds him.
Always before him many of them stand; They go by turns each one unto the judgment; They speak, and hear, and then are downward hurled.
"O thou, that to this dolorous hostelry Comest," said Minos to me, when he saw me,
Leaving the practice of so great an office..."
A load snoring above interrupted Kagome's reading. She looked up towards the red robed hanyou leaning in the tree above her, and growled. She had a big test in three days, and she needed to study. She tried again and again to get back to her reading.
"Do not impede his journey fate-ordained; It is so willed there where is power to go That which is willed; and ask no further question..."
It became worse. Finally she had had enough.
"SIT BOY!" she yelled. Everyone around woke with a start as Inuyasha crashed into the ground. Inuyasha dragged himself up and groaned.
"Why'd ya do that for?" he grumbled.
"I was trying to read!" Kagome yelled. Sango rose a stretched. "It's just as well. We better get going. Everybody picked up his or her weapons and began, Kagome's nose still in the book. Inuyasha took the lead, with Sango and Miroku close behind, Shippou behind them, and Kagome lagging behind. Inuyasha glanced back occasionally.
"Kagome! Speed it up!"
Kagome looked up, and then jogged quickly to catch up. They kept walking, and Kagome kept reading. Miroku decided to drop back, behind Kagome. He didn't want to be around if Inuyasha learned that Kagome was lost, and it gave him a better view as well.
"Sometimes, Miroku, you are too clever" he thought to himself. Suddenly, he heard a noise in the bushes. It was not lost on the others as they turned around in a defensive position. Kagome kept reading, and walked straight into Inuyasha.
"What's up?" she asked.
"If you took your nose out of that book, you'd know!"
Inuyasha prepared a retort, but a groaning from the bushes cut her off. "It sounds like someone's hurt", she said pitting down her book and pack. "I'll go see."
"Kagome, wait.!" Inuyasha protested. "What if it's a demon?"
"That doesn't sound demonic. If it's human, you'll probably scare him!" Kagome replied.
Inuyasha grunted and looked away in slight insult as Kagome walked into the bushes. She could smell a faint trace of blood, but from where? Another groan provided a clue as to its location, and soon she spotted something big ad red in the long grass. She approached cautiously, and when she was able to make out a human frame, she sighed in relief. She walked up, and saw him. He was tall, with short white hair. He was laying face down in the grass. Kagome propped him up against a tree, took a canteen from around her, and gave the man some water. A few seconds, he was regained full consciousness.
"Are you okay?" she asked.
"Yeah, I think I'm good. Last thing I remember was that purple light, then I was falling." The man looked around. "Where am I?"
It was apparent from his clothes and his guns at his sides that this man wasn't from this time. Kagome felt she could tell him. "You're in feudal Japan."
"I figured out the Japan part, but you don't look feudal."
"I'm from the 21st century. A traveler I guess you could say."
"Whatever. Thanks for the water, I'll see ya around." He began to walk ff, but Kagome stopped him.
"Wait, we can help you!"
"What, you got a mouse in your pocket?" the man joked.
"No, I'm traveling with a group of... ummm... demon investigators you could say."
The man chuckled a bit, and looked over his shoulder at her. "Why not, guess you know this place better than me. Lead the way." Kagome started to walk back, but the man stopped her. He scoured the ground, and kicked up a large sword. He twirled it around, and holstered in on his back. "Let's rock, baby."
"What is you name, anyway?" Kagome asked
"Dante" he replied.
"How ironic..." Kagome mumbled.
"What was that?" Dante asked.
"Oh, nothing!" Kagome nervously replied. Seeing him fling around that sword, plus the black and white guns at his side, Kagome didn't want to get on his bad side. "We're here!"
They walked out of the buses, to the still defensive group. "Calm down! This is Dante, he's from my time!"
"That's obvious." Miroku said. "You're a demon hunter, I take it?"
"Isn't it obvious?" Dante replied.
"Yay! A new member of the crew!" Shippou yelled.
"What the Hell is that, a rat?" Dante smirked. Shippou would have protested, but this man seemed someone Shippou didn't even want to consider messing with. Dante looked into the air, with a deadly seriousness he didn't show before.
"I sense...a demon..." he said. He quickly drew both his pistols and aimed them straight at Inuyasha's head.
