Horrors of an Inuyasha Fanfic

By Hidekiness

Chapter II: What the-?! There are TALL leprechauns?! o_O!

Where we left those six people off

-~-=0

"Kyoko...I have come for you..."

Kyoko's spine tingled. That voice was very deep and haunting, and made her feel extremely freaked out. But, if the mysterious man's reason to be here was to kill all of them, and take her, then she, by all means necessary, has to be brave and stand up to that stranger! She stood up and faced the mysterious man. She couldn't tell how he looked, because he was amongst the darkness of the night, but she could tell that this guy was pretty damn tall, if his silhouette was pretty damn big. "Who are you?" she asked, unsheathing her short sword behind her back.

The mysterious man chuckled. "Ah, Kyoko, so young and so curious. And, yet, so mature and beautiful. No wonder my people wanted you as their queen."

"Excuse me?" she coughed, staring at the man's silhouette. "WHO wants me to be who's WHAT?"

"My people want you to be their queen," replied the man, chuckling again.

Kyoko blinked and shook her head. "Why would I want to be? I mean...I don't even know what and who you and your people are..."

The man seemed to have smiled, since Kyoko saw a gleam of something over there to the man. He stepped out of the shadows and grinned at Kyoko. "Well, now you kind of have an idea, eh, Kyoko?"

Kyoko gaped at the man. He had wild, extremely SCARLET red, red hair, brown eyes, a muscular-ish build, pointy ears, and a pretty wide grin that can make a girl swoon. But nope, not THIS girl! This girl can handle her hormones! "Um...I can't really tell what you are..." she said.

The man had this look on his face for a second, probably an offended look, then he grinned. "Well, Kyoko, can't you tell from me red hair and my...features?"

Kyoko shook her head slowly. "No, not really...Lots of people have red hair nowadays, you know..."

The man sighed and looked down, shaking his head. When he looked back up, he had an extremely annoyed look on his face, and he was all red. Either with anger or embarrassment. "How can you not tell?!" he growled. "I'm a LEPRECHAUN dammit!!! Their frickin' KING! And my name is ARI!"

Kyoko stared at the man. "Eh..."

Somewhere in the East...

Kagura was having a FINE day. She sat down on a rock, and started checking her nails while half-listening to her "father" whine about...well, something about his baboon suit and baths. "Who the hell dared to touch my baboon suit?!" Naraku demanded, looking up at the sky. "And WHY the hell is it that my hair became all...greasy and frizzy-ish after I came out of that STUPID little BATH?!" Kagura glanced at Naraku and shook her head, muttering "Pathetic" all the while.

Naraku turned his eyes slowly towards Kagura and glared at her. "I heard that, you-!!!"

Kagura shrugged. "Well, it is the truth, you know..."

Naraku walked over to her and looked down at her menacingly. "If you keep insulting your own FATHER, then you will be GROUNDED!"

Kagura looked up at Naraku and gasped in a fake, oh-my-god way. "Oh no...I'm gonna get grounded!! My, what shall I do?! Try to IMPRESS my own so-called 'father'?"

Naraku hmph'ed and said, "Oh, stop it with the sarcasm. Just tell me, WHY did my hair become all greasy and frizzy-looking?"

"Haven't you noticed?" she laughed. "Your hair's ALWAYS been greasy and frizzy-looking!"

Naraku glared at his "daughter" and muttered, "You're just jealous."

Kagura smirked. "Hah. No I'm not. You KNOW I have better hair than YOU."

"Yeah, well I-" started Naraku, but was cut off when a blast hit the tree next to them, causing them to jump and look the other way. There, they found a man with red hair, brown eyes, pointy ears, and a muscular build, saying, "Ah, sorry 'bout that...I had to do it. I tried to get your attention, but you guys kept on bickering, I had to send a blast to interrupt you."

Naraku narrowed his eyes at the man. "Who the hell are you?"

The man smiled and said, "all I can say for now is that, I'm a leprechaun, and my name is Ari."

-~-

With Inuyasha, Kagome, Miroku, Sango, and Shippo

-~-

Kagome sat down by a pouting Inuyasha, and looked over at him. "Inuyasha, why are you pouting?" Inuyasha glanced at her for a moment and resumed back to pouting. Kagome looked at the empty bowl of ramen, and knew instantly. "Inuyasha, is it because I gave Shippo all the ramen?" Inuyasha gave her another glance and went back to pouting. Kagome giggled. "Aww! My poor puppy's jealous!" Inuyasha turned to Kagome fully now, and growled, "I am NOT jealous!!!"

"Hah! Sure you're not, Inuyasha!" giggled Kagome again.

"I'm not, Kagome..." he said, pouting.

Kagome aww'ed again and pinched one of Inuyasha's cheeks. "My wittle puppy ish SOO cute pouting, isn't he now?"

Inuyasha went red and looked away, causing Kagome to go into another fit of giggles. To Inuyasha, this was pretty typical for them. Having an EXTREMELY secret, SECRET relationship, they often teased each other while their friends were...either sleeping, or collecting food. Inuyasha shook his head and put an arm around Kagome, and she rested her head on his shoulder. Inuyasha closed his eyes, and sniffed. He opened his eyes and said, "Who's there?" He had smelt someone's scent, and it was DEFINITELY not someone he met before. And this wasn't even a demon.

Kagome too felt someone behind her, and looked back. What she saw was a woman with blue hair, pointy ears, and purple eyes, with a small child, that looked slightly like her, except she had blonde hair, sitting on her shoulder. The woman spoke, "Excuse me, but are you Kagome and Inuyasha?"

Kagome looked at Inuyasha, who looked back at her, and said cautiously, "Yes...why...?"

The woman blinked. "Well, I seek of your help. My name is Ayami, and I come from the fabled city of The Lord of the Center."

-~-

With Kyoko and the 5 other people...

-~-

"So you're telling me, that you're seeking our help to look for your brother and his...what was that again?" said Mai, sipping her green tea. All of them had finally revived, and had went to an inn and had a cup of green tea.

Ari sighed, and decided to repeat it again. "Okay. My brother, has the same name as I do, and I am LOOKING for him and his WIFE and his little DAUGHTER. And we all come from the city where the LORD OF THE CENTER lives in."

Akuma looked at Ari. "You don't have to talk like that. Makes us sound like we're stupid, you know."

Ari muttered, "In a way, you are..."

Akuma widened his eyes. "What did you just say, you mother- OW!" A mallet- looking weapon had hit him, courtesy of Kimiko, who said, "Calm down there, horsie."

Shun, who was sitting there, sipping his green tea quietly finally spoke up. "So, why're you looking for your relatives, Mr. Ari?"

"Simple. We were all supposed to fetch Inuyasha and his comrades and bring him with us back to the Central City because the Lord of the Centers had spoken about needing their help," said Ari, sipping his tea.

Kyoko, who was quiet at all of this time, stared at Ari. Somehow, she knew him, and somehow, she didn't. Something fishy was going on here, and it sure wasn't a very nice feeling.

"You said Inuyasha, correct?" said Maru, rubbing her left temple. Ari nodded, and she said, "Well, we're supposed to be on a mission to bring him and this reincarnation of a priestess together, along with the demon hunter and the monk."

Ari looked at Maru and blinked. "Um...so your point is...?"

Maru sighed. "My point is, is that if we help you, you have to help us in return."

"With what?"

"Anything we want, Mr. Ari." Maru took out her hand, while the rest of the group stared, not really knowing what to say. "Do we have a deal?"

Ari stared at the hand for a few moments and shook it. "We have a deal," he said, nodding. Maru smiled. "I knew we'd make an agreement."

-~-

With Naraku, his baboon suit, and his "daughters"...

-~-

"So you're telling US..." Naraku pointed to himself, Kagura, and Kanna, "that YOU," he pointed to the man named Ari, "need OUR help," he gestured to himself, Kagura, and Kanna again, "in LOOKING for your twin brother who has the same name as YOU and your WIFE and DAUGHTER?"

Ari nodded. "Wasn't so hard, now was it?"

Kagura raised an eyebrow. "So, WHY do you need our help again?"

Ari sighed, and spoke, "Well...my brother, my wife, my daughter, and I, were sent to fetch the half-demon Inuyasha and his companions to bring back to the Central City so they could help the Lord of the Center with something we don't know of." He paused, and continued, "On the way, we kind of lost each other, and now, we're scattered, and I need help in finding them. The Lord of the Center told us that it was sort of urgent, so we must hurry up in finding Inuyasha and his companions."

Naraku blinked. "Inuyasha? That filthy hanyou?" he scoffed, "he's but a worthless half-blood who falls in love with humans easily."

Ari shook his head. "Inuyasha posses powers you mustn't underestimate, Naraku."

Naraku sighed. "So, what'll you do in return if we help you, eh?"

Ari opened his mouth to speak, but Kagura's cough and her talking interrupted him. "Hold on here!" she interrupted, "Naraku, we can't just DO it like that! There's gotta be a deal made and a-"

"Kagura. ENOUGH. That's what I'm doing, DAUGHTER," he said viciously, making Kagura feel a little bit freaked out and back off for a bit, scowling. "Anyway," he turned to Ari. "What WILL you do?"

Ari shrugged. "Oh, I don't know...I'll probably help you replace your bamboo pelt, or maybe help you whenever you want me to for a short period of time."

Naraku thought about what Ari said. "Hmm...y'know Ari, that kinda makes sense...Don't it, Kagura?"

"Huh? Wha?" Kagura looked up from checking her nails and said, "Oh...yeah...duh, Naraku."

Naraku gave Kagura a look, and resumed talking. "Well, I'd like it if you will be there whenever we want you to for a short period of time." He took out his hand. "S'that a deal?"

Ari nodded, and shook Naraku's hand. "Yessir."
