(A/N: When I first wrote this, I seriously didn't think this would be read by anyone. I was quite amazed I got some interesting reviews. The crazy ideas came after a psychotic week (which just so happens I've ended one). So with that in mind, I present to you another chapter. I have cracked out ideas, but I am also taking into account what reviewers say.)
Disclaimer: See previous chapter. I don't own anything (not even sure if I own Inuki LOL).
Italics means person's thoughts
Tsubame Gaeshi- Glad to see you are enjoying this. You've always been a support of my fics. Thanks! ^_^
Jen-chan-I give you credit for recognizing Rayearth. Don't worry if you haven't seen the 2nd one, for this story is going much more whacked out. Btw..there is a fairy in the 2nd. Thanks for supporting my fics. Random sidenote for you: YoM will continue. ^_^
Sayochama-This was something different, but glad to know you like that magical girl/adventure idea. It would be cool to see if it was possible for PoT. Haha..would like an Inuki as well.
Ichigocake-Thanks for the review. Seems like everyone likes Inuki.
Yami no Tenshi- Sheer insanity is right. I'm glad you like that, for that's how this fanfic will be. Hyotei will come in later on. If you have ideas, feel free to offer.
Aerysa-You also get credit for recognizing the Rayearth part. That kinda goes in with the 'mistake'. Glad you like the Hello Kitty part. I thought people would think it be weird.
Rumiko Nadajima-Rabbit creatures are cool! I like O/E as well. You might be in for some luck this chapter. ^_^
To everyone else that is reading, I thank you as well. I welcome comments and I know you have them.
Chapter 2: We have to fight with these?
Deep in the forest of the land known as Tenipuri, Fairy Sumire had recently meet up with the Seigaku regulars to discuss the mission they would have to do in order to be sent back home. She would have thought the people from another world would accept the task so smoothly…but sadly, that wouldn't be the case.
After trying not to die from laughter, Ryoma, Momoshiro, Eiji, and Oishi eventually joined in with Fuji, Kawamura, and Kaidoh in observing and petting Inuki. They were all quite fascinated with how much Inuki resembled the person they knew in their own world. Poor Inuki wanted to hide from all the guys molesting him. However, all of the regulars had surrounded him in a circle, leaving Inuki nowhere to run.
Fairy Sumire had tried several times to explain any other important information, but laughter and distractions prevented that from happening. She gave another huge sigh and nodded her head to Tezuka. Tezuka took the signal and decided it was now time to get their attention. He wanted to finish this soon and their clowning around wasn't going to get them anywhere.
"Everyone!"
All the regulars stopped playing with Inuki and turned their heads to Tezuka.
"Go run 15 laps!"
All their faces went blank.
"But buchou…where exactly do we run? We're in the middle of a forest!" Momoshiro exclaimed, noticing that there wasn't a tennis court or anywhere to run.
"Start running…" Tezuka said in a frustrated tone as a frown started to appear on his forhead.
"What about Inuki?" Kawamura was holding Inuki in his lap with both hands, which Inuki was not enjoying.
"JUST RUN!"
Tezuka looked like he was on the verge of snapping. All the regulars took notice of this and started to run around the open area of the forest. None of them wanted to question him when he was in that state.
Inuki looked on as the regulars ran. He breathed a sigh of relief. "Phew…that was close. I thought for a moment there I was a goner."
"Holy Cow! The thing speaks!?" Eiji yelled as he ran around.
Inuki gave him an evil glare. "Well what did you expect? How else am I supposed to communicate with you guys? Would you like a squeak or a moo or perhaps a pupu?"
Moments later, the regulars were done running around the open forest area and were on the ground panting hard. Even in another world, Tezuka was still their captain and any means of enforcement were followed. Fairy Sumire decided to take advantage of the situation.
"Alright. Since it seems like you guys are ready to get serious, I have some other things that need to be explained before you start your mission. Since you'll be obtaining items that others will be looking for, this will be a dangerous journey. To make sure you survive, I will provide you guys a weapon to protect yourselves."
"Ah sweet! So we're going to get swords and shields?" Momoshiro exclaimed in excitement. He could already imagine himself in one of those Medieval Times eras being all cool swinging a sword to defeat the enemy.
"Here I go!" Fairy Sumire twirled her wand and began to chant out a series of phrases. With a flick of the wrist, a weapon appeared into each of the regular's hands. Excitement appeared in most of their faces, but it soon vanished once they realized what appeared before them.
In each of their hands, there was a wooden tennis racket.
"You must be kidding." Ryoma took a look at the racket and held it above his head, feeling the grip and observing its properties.
"Well…the situation has gotten more interesting." Fuji replied, looking at the racket curiously.
"Hss…and I suppose we use tennis balls to attack?" Kaidoh said sarcastically as he used the racket to scratch his back.
"Now that you mentioned it, I thought I forgot something." The fairy chanted a few more words and each of the regulars obtained a small sack of tennis balls.
"Is it just me…or is this getting more weirder." Oishi questioned as he held a tennis racket in one hand and a sack of tennis balls in the other.
"It's not just you Oishi…" Eiji replied hesitantly as he stared at the racket. "I mean…we use these everyday…it's just that…of all places…why out here?"
"Oh come on fairy! Is this some joke!?" Momoshiro yelled at the fairy. "Where are the swords and all the cool weapons?! How do you expect us to attack with these?!"
The fairy smacked Momoshiro in the head once again. "Will you at least give me some time to finish with the explanations? I apologize that the weapon is quite cheap, for my magic right now can only provide for so much. In the mean time, make use of these. Besides, it seems like you guys are tennis players. Wouldn't you know how to use one of these much better than a sword?"
The regulars just stood in silence. In a way, the fairy was right. Not many of them actually used a sword before. But given the situation, they didn't really think a racket would do them much good.
Fairy Sumire called over Inuki and he hopped over. Inuki opened his notebook and started taking notes. "After you get them out of the forest, lead them to the next town. The blacksmith there should be able to upgrade and provide them with a better weapon."
"Hey Oishi, why does the fairy keep calling the tennis racket a weapon?" Eiji whispered into Oishi's ear. Oishi just shrugged his shoulders, for he didn't have a clue on the entire situation presented.
"Sumire-san. How do we attack with these? Do we just attack the enemy with tennis balls or is there something else?" Fuji asked curiously. It seemed simple to do that. However, Fuji seemed to know there was more to this then what was given.
"Well of course you can't just smack them with balls. You have to use magic in your attacks to cause some damage." Fairy Sumire paused and looked at all of them. "You all know how to use magic right?"
All of the regulars shook their heads. Fairy Sumire just sighed and realized there was still a lot more to be done before she sent them on their way. "I should have enough power to grant each of you one spell." She once again began chanting and a sparkling light surrounded each of the regulars. The warm light surrounded the regulars and a bright heat burned inside of them.
"Wow this is cool!" Eiji exclaimed excitedly. "So what sort of magic did you give us? Can I use it now?"
"You're magic will only be used in time of need. I can't tell you what spell you received, for each of you has a unique ability. As time goes on, you'll be able to learn more spells to help you out. Anyways, I've wasted too much time here. You all have enough to survive till the next town you encounter. Please use Inuki to your advantage."
"Hold on. Why can't you join us in finding the items?" Tezuka asked in a cold manner. Fairy Sumire could help them out more and he didn't see why she couldn't follow them throughout the land.
"Ah, there is one problem to that." Fairy Sumire started to get an angry look as she clenched her teeth. "The evil wizard Banji, who is also looking for the items I asked you to look for, placed a curse on me. The problem with the curse is that I cannot leave this forest. Every time I attempted to leave, a barrier blocks me. The curse is so powerful that all my magic had no effect. The only other option I had was to summon for some people to help me out. Once I get the items, the power obtained from them will be enough to break the curse, restore my power, and bring peace to the land once again."
"Alright then. We will bring back the items as quick as possible. Thank you for the help." Tezuka replied to the fairy. He then turned toward the regulars. "Everyone, let's go!"
"Okay!" Everyone replied.
Inuki lead the Seigaku regulars out of the forest towards the next town. Fairy Sumire looked on as she saw them vanish into the depths of the forest. "Good luck. And I hope you guys pull through. You are our only hope."

An hour later, Inuki used his data on the land to guide the Seigaku regulars out of the forest. All the regulars were carrying a racket in one hand and a sack of tennis balls slung over their shoulder across their chest. The regulars were in awe at what was seen in front of them. All they could see in the distance was a large field. The cool breeze blew the tall grass across the plains gently.
Eiji jumped excitedly and ran into the field and did a flip. He felt glad getting out of the dark forest into the bright open field. Oishi ran after Eiji, hoping that he didn't run too far and ended up lost from the group. Momoshiro and Ryoma also joined in running around the field. Kawamura lied on the grass and sprawled out in relaxation. Kaidoh sat nearby and stretched his arms. Fuji and Tezuka were standing next to each other watching the regulars.
"Giving them a break before we continue Tezuka?"
Tezuka nodded. "It's been hectic getting out of the forest. However, we'll have to continue soon if we want to make it to the town by nightfall." He turned to Inuki. "How far till the next town?"
Inuki flipped through some pages. "The closest place we have to head to is called Konomi town. It's about 5 miles in the Northeast direction." Inuki pointed in the direction. "Once we get through the plains, there will be a river and once we cross it should take another mile till we reach town."
"Okay. We should continue walking then." Tezuka gathered up all the regulars and they all continued towards their destination: Konomi town.

Their journey across the plains went pretty smooth. Once they reached the river, things started to change. The river was about 10 feet wide and very rapid so there was no way for the regulars to swim across in that state. Inuki was flipping through his data book looking for the closest bridge that was built when an explosion nearby rocked all the regulars.
"What the hell was that?" Momoshiro exclaimed as he was smacked to the ground.
An evil cackle was heard. All the regulars looked up, wondering who or what had such a hideous voice. On top of two trees nearby were two figures dressed in a green and yellow cloak. One guy had spiky brown hair and the other had slick blue hair combed back. Both of them jumped down from the trees and landed near the regulars.
"Hello. Welcome to Tenipuri, people from another world." The spiky brown haired guy replied.
"And who might you be?" Kaidoh hissed.
Another evil cackle came from the two guys. "I would have thought fairy Sumire would have told you something about us." The blue haired guy replied. He then did a fancy pose. "I'm Masami!"
The brown haired guy did a similar pose. "I'm Kentarou!"
Both guys began to pose together. "And together, we're known as…"
"You guys look like the Jimmies!" Oishi replied suddenly. Both guys fell out of their pose and crashed to the ground. "Ah....I knew I've seen you guys somewhere before. The corny green and yellow clothes and hair styles did look familiar."
"Corny clothes?" The Jimmies thought. It was more like what the Seigaku regulars were wearing was out of place in this world. Masami got up and brushed the dirt off his clothes. "Well, it seems like you guys do know who we are. Anyways, we came here to send you a welcome message." An evil grin appeared on the Jimmies faces.
Inuki tugged on Tezuka's shorts and he leaned down. "This is bad, we have to run from them. The Jimmies are dangerous henchmen sent by the evil wizard Banji. In our current state there is a 95% chance we won't stand against them." Inuki whispered into Tezuka's ear.
"So what sort of welcome message are you sending us?" Ryoma replied yawning. He didn't seem interested in the situation.
"We were sent to make sure you guys didn't make it to the next town. Now, its time to say goodbye." The Jimmies brought out a nicely crafted racket and a tennis ball out from under their cloak. Upon seeing that they too had tennis rackets, most of the regulars fell to the ground laughing again.
"Oh my goodness! So even the enemies use rackets as well?! This is just way too weird and hilarious! No wonder the Fairy was calling the rackets weapons!" Eiji continued to laugh.
The Jimmies looked on wondering what was so funny. "Seems sad we have to get rid of them. Oh well."
"Everyone head for cover!" Tezuka yelled.
The regulars stopped laughing and noticed that the tennis ball the Jimmies were holding were glowing a bright green. They began chanting a few words. They then tossed the ball up and smacked it with the rackets. One of the balls hit the ground near Momoshiro and Ryoma. The ground exploded and dirt flew up onto them.
"Fuji move!" Eiji yelled. Fuji turned and saw the other ball come directly towards him. Upon instinct, he was going to attempt to hit the ball back. Fuji's blue eyes stared at the ball coming and he started to swing the racket back.
"Fuji! Get out of the way! That's not going to work!" Tezuka yelled. Fuji froze in his place. He couldn't move and continued to receive the ball. Kawamura quickly dove in and pushed Fuji out of the way. Fuji dropped the racket out of his hand. The ball hit the racket causing a large explosion, which shattered the racket. Fuji and Kawamura were tossed back from the explosion. After the explosion died down, a large crater could be seen in the ground. If Fuji had attempted to hit the ball, he would have been a goner.
"Fuji. Are you alright?" Fuji opened his eyes and looked up to see Kawamura above him. Kawamura offered his hand and pulled him off the ground. Fuji then closed his eyes and smiled back. "Thanks for saving me Taka-san."
"We have to run somehow." Momoshiro replied in a tense voice. "These guys mean business and I don't think we can beat them."
"Scared chicken." Kaidoh hissed. Momoshiro got frustrated at that remark. "And you aren't scared as well? If we stay around, we are going to get killed!"
"Inuki! Lead Tezuka and the others to the nearest bridge and get them to Konomi town!" Oishi yelled to the others.
"What about you Oishi-sempai?" Momoshiro asked, worried for the vice-captain's safety.
"I'm going to stay here and have them target me while you guys make the run."
"Nani!" Everyone exclaimed.
"Just do as I say! If you don't all of us are going to die!" Oishi exclaimed. Tezuka nodded in agreement and had Inuki lead them to the closest bridge. The Jimmies were going to follow them, but Oishi stopped in their paths. "If you want to fight them, you have to go through me."
"You stop us?" The Jimmies laughed. "I guess we'll have to destroy you guys one by one." They both brought out another tennis ball from under their cloaks.
"I have to stand strong if I'm going to protect the rest of them" Oishi told himself as he also brought out a tennis ball from the sack he was carrying. He wasn't sure how much damage he was going to do, but he figured he might as well try. "I have to protect everyone."
A warm light started to glow a bright blue around the tennis ball as Oishi held it in his hand. He wasn't sure how or what reason brought that up, but he somehow knew what to say in order for the magic fairy Sumire gave him to work.
"MOON VOLLEY!" Oishi hit the tennis ball and the glowing ball speed toward one of the Jimmies.
"What the?" Masami exclaimed. He tried to hit the ball with his racket, but the ball lobbed over his racket and smacked him in the head. He fell back into the river and the waters rushed him down.
Oishi stood shocked at what he did. "So that's the magic Fairy Sumire gave us. I see…it worked because it was needed now in order to protect everyone else. Funny that it happens to be my special technique." Oishi started to laugh a little.
The other Jimmie of the pair, Kentarou, was amazed that Masami got knocked out. However, he wasn't going to fall for the same trick. He chanted some words and hit the ball directly at Oishi. Oishi attempted to move out of the way quickly but wasn't fast enough. The blast shattered his racket and Oishi was knocked to the ground. He winced in pain as he notice there were some deep cuts on his leg.
Kentarou laughed. "You were pretty good for knocking out one of the Jimmies." He then brought out another tennis ball. "But sadly, I have to kill you." He started chanting.
Oishi couldn't run with his leg injured and his racket was destroyed. He closed his eyes. "Well…at least I tried. I hope everyone else makes it safely to the next town."
Suddenly, a few random tennis balls flew at Kentarou, making him stop chanting. "What was that?"
"Oishi!"
Oishi opened his eyes and saw Eiji running towards him. Eiji noticed that Oishi was bleeding and rushed over. "Oishi what happened? Augh you're in bad shape!" Eiji stood up and looked at Kentarou with a furious look. "How dare you hurt Oishi! You're going to pay!" Eiji glowed a bright red and he brought out a tennis ball. Kentarou also brought out a tennis ball and was going to attack.
"KIKUMARU BEAM!" The ball glowed red and speed towards Kentarou. He didn't have time to finish attacking, for the ball smacked him hard in the stomach and knocked him into the river. He too floated down the river. Eiji did a victory sign and ran over to Oishi, tending his wounds.
"Eiji!" Oishi exclaimed in shock and frustration. "What are you doing here? You were suppose to follow Tezuka and the others to the nearest town!"
"Oishi! You expect me to leave you here by yourself to defend us?" Eiji held one of Oishi's hands in his own and looked into his eyes. "Haven't you forgotten? We're the Golden Pair! We have to stick together no matter what happens."
Oishi smiled back at Eiji. "You're right. We stick together to the end." Eiji had Oishi place his arm around his back so that he could help Oishi walk. They both hurried back across the bridge to where everyone else was waiting.
TBC.
(A/N: I am so sorry if this is getting lame, I'm still in the introduction phase. I'm trying my best to make this an interesting fantasy story incorporating the PoT characters. The next chapter I will bring in more characters. If you have any suggestions, feel free to offer. I'm very curious to know how reviewers respond to this story, since in my opinion the story is very cracked up. Is this story worthwhile? I really don't know. But, it is fun to write ^_^;)
