Summary: InuYasha/DBZ crossover. Basically a weird alternate InuYasha where the characters are put in the DBZ plot with a few twists. I've had this idea stuck in my head for a while now. It's my first fanfic so all flame will be given to Shippo to power his foxfire attack against Kikyo! Inu/Kag, Sess/San,
Disclaimer: I don't own InuYasha, Rumiko Takahashi does. I don't own DBZ, Akira Toriyama does. I don't own anything except my mind. But I lost that a long time ago.
CH 2: Here and Now
82203
Ten years have passed since InuYasha jumped into the well to join the woman he loved. Now they live in a time where humans have the technology to go into deep space without much troubles. Youkais and hanyous have blended in with the humans, and there is peace in the world. In the last ten years, Sango and Miroku have dated each other off and on. Eventually they, with Kohaku, got an apartment in Tokyo together. Every few months, they will get in a big fight and break up with each other. Today we find them fighting again with one another.
*Cut to Sango and Miroku's apartment*
"I can't believe you, Miroku!" Sango yelled.
"What did I do this time?" Miroku asked.
"You know what you did."
"No I don't, Sango."
"I know you're cheating on me. Don't try and deny it."
"I'm WHAT?!? Wait, when?"
"You're never home at night. You come home smelling of sake every night and that's IF you come home. Sometimes you come home with lipstick on your collar. And don't EVEN deny that you have a history of being a lecher. Remember before we came to this time, you hit on every pretty thing with two legs." Sango was furious. This always happened. They would start going out together, then he would start hitting on other women. And she was sick of it.
"But Sango…"
"No, DO NOT 'But Sango' me. I'm not going to take your shit anymore. I'm going to tell you exactly what's going to happen: We're going to Kagome's for the party. We're going to have a good time. Then I'm going to ask Kagome if I could stay there tonight. If I can't, then I'm getting a hotel room for the night. Are we understood?" Sango glared at him mercilessly.
"Bu-…" Miroku was about to argue with her some more but one look at a raging Sango throwing death glares like daggers made him forget all about that. He was not going to win this argument. "Yes, milady."
Yes, unlike Miroku, Sango had changed a lot over the ten years. The modern era has made her more assertive and sure of her own abilities. But time hasn't just changed Sango. In ten years, InuYasha and Kagome's relationship led to a marriage the summer after Kagome graduated high school. They adopted Shippo and accepted him as their son. Shippo began school and is now the top student. While Shippo and Kagome were at school, InuYasha went back through the well to train. Even though he lived in the future and now had no reason to fight, he refused to give up on his swordsmanship. Often he would bring Shippo with him and would train the young Kitsune the best he could to develop his own skills. Shippo, in his own right, became a great fighter. Eventually, InuYasha and Kagome had a child of their own. A son they named Nishi. Nishi is now five years old. InuYasha has already begun training him, preparing him to fight when necessary. They all still live together at the shrine, even Kagome's Mother and Grandfather.
*Cut to Higurashi Shrine*
Across Tokyo at the shrine, InuYasha and Kagome are making last second preparations for their party. The party was in honor of Kohaku and Sota, They had each just finished their third year at the prestigious Tokyo University. Today they were coming home to a welcome-home celebration.
"Hurry, InuYasha! Sota and Kohaku are going to be home any minute," Kagome yelled at InuYasha, who was raising the welcome home banner across the doorway.
"Hold on, woman. These things take time," InuYasha said tying the string on the banner up on the wall so it wouldn't slip out of position. "I don't see what the big deal is with your brother coming back. I mean we do this every time he comes back." He wasn't showing it but inside, InuYasha was always ecstatic when Sota came home. Sota idolized InuYasha, and he liked the attention.
"Wait, what if they go to Sango and Miroku's first?" Shippo asked appearing through the doorway. He was holding a cake with white frosting, which read "Welcome home boys" in big blue letters.
"Oh wow! The cake looks great. You and Nishi did a great job with it. Go set it on the table over there." Kagome pointed to a table in the living room. InuYasha turned his head to see the cake as Shippo set it down.
"Hey squirt, was there any frosting left?" InuYasha asked.
"Yeah, but by now Nishi probably ate it all." Shippo replied.
"Feh, knowing him, you're right. Frosting to him is like ramen." InuYasha said as he thought of all the times he saw Nishi devouring cake frosting. Then another thought crossed his mind. "Hey Kagome, you remembered to…"
Kagome cut him off already knowing what he was going to ask. "Don't worry InuYasha, we have enough ramen, even for you."
Shippo snickered. "Are you sure Kagome? I mean we all know InuYasha has a stomach with a bottomless pit when it comes to ramen."
"Watch yourself, kitsune. You get the same way with candy," InuYasha replied.
"Yeah, so? What's your point?" Shippo asked trying not to sound like InuYasha was right.
"Feh, whatever, I'm getting some frosting," InuYasha said as he made his way toward the kitchen.
"Yeah, good idea." With that, Shippo was following right behind him.
"Hey wait, you guys!" Kagome yelled as Shippo and InuYasha into the kitchen. "We still have to get things ready. Come back here you two." She followed them into the kitchen to find a big mess created by one little quarter-demon.
*Cut to Kitchen*
"Hey wait, you guys! We still have to get things ready. Come back here you two."
When the quarter-demon heard his mother yell he went to hide behind the kitchen counter. 'Uh oh, when Mom sees this mess, I'm gonna be in so much trouble.' As InuYasha and Shippo entered, they halted seeing a huge mess. There was flour spread all over the counter, a couple of eggs had dropped onto the tile floor, some batter had splashed onto the counter doors, and there was some cake frosting on the walls. The sight made them become wide-eyed.
"How could a little kid make a mess like this in a minute?" Shippo thought aloud. As Kagome stepped in, she screamed at the mess.
"NISHI!!! Get Out Here Right Now!" she said looking angry.
Out of his safe hiding spot behind the kitchen counter, a young boy stepped to face his mother. The boy had wild silver hair with a single black bang hanging in front of his face. He looked like every other normal full-blooded human except for two small dog ears hanging on top of his head. He wore a small t-shirt and a pair of small jeans that were now covered in a layer of flour. His face was covered with frosting. He put on the most sorrowful face he could and muttered "I'm sorry Mommy." Nishi was a mischievous child much like his 'brother' Shippo. With mischief brings trouble. And Nishi seemed to always be in it. Over time and practice, he had perfected his sympathetic look to the point it could soften just about anyone to become putty in his little hands.
Kagome's face turned from one of anger to one of understanding. "Awww. It's alright Nishi." Kagome bent down to hug her son. As they embraced, Nishi knew his plan had worked. "OK. Now we're out of ice cream and we need it for the party. InuYasha, run down to the store and get some. Shippo start cleaning this mess up. InuYasha, when you get back, help Shippo. Now as for you young man." Kagome looked at Nishi. "We need you to get cleaned up. It's bath time for you." She looks at everyone in front of her. "Is everyone clear on what we need to do?"
In unison, the three guys said "Feh!"
Kagome rolled her eyes at them and took Nishi into the bathroom to get him into the bath. "Yep, those are my boys," she muttered.
*At the store, 15 minutes later*
InuYasha was walking down the ice cream isle muttering aloud to himself. "What type of ice cream should I get? Hmm, Kagome says chocolate isn't good for dogs, then again, me and Nishi have had some before so we should be fine. Strawberry was pretty good. Vanilla was Ok but that's Sota's favorite so I should get some of that. I'm never eating that pissta-whatever that stuff was called. I wonder if there is enough ramen at the house? Should I get some? Come on InuYasha stay focused. What was the thing with the three flavors in one? Neo-politician or something like that? Ooh found it. Neapolitan. Yeah that's it. OK, pay the guys, hurry home before it melts." InuYasha paid them for the ice cream and ran through the trees to home.
*Cut to Home: 30 minutes later*
As Shippo and InuYasha finished cleaning the kitchen, the doorbell rang. "I'll get it," Shippo said and ran to the door. On the other side of the door was a very pissed off Sango. "Hey Sango, you're early. Where's Miroku?" If Sango could have gotten angrier, she would have as Shippo said HIS name.
Sango forced a small smile as she spoke to Shippo. "Hi Shippo, is Kagome here?" she asked trying not to show rage in her tone. It didn't work.
"Uh yeah. She's here, but she's giving Nishi a bath. Come in. Sit down. Would you like something to drink?" Shippo tried to be a generous host but deep down, he was scared. He firsthand had seen Sango when she was at her most vicious. And those encounters always revolved around a certain monk. 'Uh oh, she's pissed. Miroku must have done something today. I better warn InuYasha not to say anything stupid,' Shippo thought as he retreated into the kitchen.
*Cut to Kitchen*
InuYasha was sitting on a chair in the kitchen when Shippo came to tell him what happened.
"Hey InuYasha. Listen, we've got trouble. Sango's in the living-…" Shippo was trying to speak but InuYasha cut him off.
"Hey, don't worry. Sometimes I think you intentionally forget I have dog ears. I heard every word." InuYasha said very calmly.
"Yeah but what do we do about it?" Shippo was panicking.
"Same thing we always do. She wants to talk to Kagome. We let her. They're going to need all the time they want. We give it to them. And you know how long their 'girl talks' can last. If anyone tries to talk to one of them, we'll cut them off." InuYasha spoke calmly like what they were to do was an every day occurrence. "If we screw up, Kagome's gonna have my head and then 'Sit' me a hundred times. And if I get sat, you're grounded." InuYasha was in no joking mood. If everything didn't go smoothly, Kagome would be really mad, and if she's mad, she 'Sits'.
"Hey, that's not fair. Why will I get grounded if you screw up?" Shippo asked.
"Because we're in this one together." InuYasha said.
"Yeah, I know, but we do this so much we never screw up anymore."
"I know. That's just because we have done it too much. Personally Sango should make up her mind about if she's gonna be with the moron or not. It would be a whole lot easier on us."
"Hey, maybe this drill should have a code name or something." Shippo said this delighted with the idea.
InuYasha thought a moment and smirked at the kitsune. "Yeah, we'll call it Operation: Shippo Just Shut Up."
Shippo frowned as the doorbell rang. "It was just an idea."
"Just go get the door." InuYasha said. Shippo went to answer the door. He opened it to reveal Mrs. Higurashi and Grandpa.
"Hi Shippo, sorry but I forgot the keys," Mrs. Higurashi said. "We bought some fresh fruit and vegetables for the party. There is another box of fruit in the car. Be a dear and get it for us would you. Thanks. You know how much Sota loves fruit."
Sango was sitting on a couch in the living room hearing Mrs. Higurashi return. She spoke up to let her presence known. "And Kohaku likes Tomatoes."
"Oh Sango, I didn't know you were here already. You're early. Is Miroku here with you?" Mrs. Higurashi asked politely. Sango sent her death glares at the sound of his name. Mrs. Higurashi took notice of this and her natural motherly instincts took over. "Aww, hun, what's wrong?" she asked.
"It's nothing. Don't worry about it." Sango said trying not to burden Kagome's mother. It wasn't working.
Mrs. Higurashi went over to sit by Sango. "Now Sango, we lived together for three years. In that time, I started to love you like a second daughter. I've helped you with a lot of things. And…" Mrs. Higurashi spoke in a this-in-particular tone. "…I've even been there through your boyfriend troubles. I'm an expert on this remember? After all, I had to help Kagome with InuYasha." As she said the last part, Mrs. Higurashi smiled and Sango laughed.
"HEY! I resent that!" InuYasha interrupted.
"Sorry InuYasha, but she's got a point." Sango said smiling. "Alright. When Kagome finishes with Nishi, we'll all talk."
"That's the spirit." Mrs. Higurashi said. Then the doorbell rang. Shippo, already by the door after bringing in the box of fruit, answered. He opened the door to reveal two boys. The shorter one called out as he entered. "Hey mom, we're home." Everyone in the living room surrounded Sota and Kohaku as they were greeted by everyone almost simultaneously.
"Oh my baby's home. It's so good to see you again, son." Mrs. Higurashi said hugging Sota.
"Good to see you too, Mom." Sota replied returning the embrace.
"Hey Sota, Hey Sota, how was school? You have to tell me all about it." Shippo said jumping up and down.
"Don't worry Shippo, I'll tell you everything that happened. All in due time," said Sota rubbing the kit's head.
"Hey kid, good to see ya." InuYasha said leaning against the wall not wanting to get trampled by the others."
"InuYasha!" Sota said happily. "I missed you a lot. How are you?"
"I'm good."
"And where's Grandpa?"
Grandpa spoke up in the back of the group. "Sota, my boy, how are you doing?"
"I'm doing good. You?"
"Uh, could I get through here?" Kohaku said trying to squeeze through the door with both his suitcases in hand.
When Sango heard Kohaku, she ran outside and hugged him tight. "Kohaku, how are you? I've missed you so much. I was worried sick. I never see you anymore. You hardly even call. What's it been, 6 months since you came home? 7?"
"I'm fine, Sis. Sorry I worried you. I didn't mean to. It's just that I've been focusing on my schoolwork and I've had a lot of assignments. I'm glad exams are finally over."
Sota heard that and exclaimed, "I'll drink to that!" Sota walked further into the house. He was looking over everyone trying to find two people. "Hey Mom, Where's-…"
As if on cue, Kagome and Nishi walked out of the bathroom. When Nishi spots Sota, he ran into his arms joyfully screaming "Uncle Sota! Uncle Sota! Uncle Sota's home! Yay!"
Sota picked him up and hugged him, then set him down. "Hi Nishi, you get bigger every time I see you. Did your mom dress you up just for me?" Sota asked seeing Nishi in a button-down shirt and pants.
"Of course I did. It's not every day your baby brother comes home from college," Kagome said as she approached. "Hi Sota, we've missed you," she said while coming to hug Sota.
"I missed you too Kagome. I missed you all," Sota said.
InuYasha walked up to Sota. He put his arm around him and walked him to the couch. "Well, why don't you take a seat and you can tell us all about it." InuYasha then remembered Kohaku and Sango were still outside. "Hey Sango, Kohaku, You coming in or will we have to start the party without you?"
"We should go in. You can tell me everything that's happened inside." Sango grabbed one of Kohaku's suitcases and they both went inside.
So what did you think? Did it suck? It probably did. It might be boring but I promise it will get interesting. After all, all great stories have parts that are slow only to set up the better, faster parts. Look at the entire GREAT SAIYAMAN saga. All flames for this chapter will be given to Shippo; where he'll decide to use them for his foxfire or to make smores. Next CH: Reminiscing with Friends.
This is Night Shade V1. Peace.
