Well. I just realized that the first chapter was quite confusing, and I lose the momentum of the readers with it, so I present to you the 2nd chapter, enjoy and review!
Note: since the Kyubi will be making long speeches, I give him the italics font for the rest of the fic, so you'll be able to tell he's the one talking.
Chapter 2: The math doesn't work out!
"Dad? I thought your father is dead, I've been at his grave, and walked between his bones for crying out loud" Kagome said, surprised at Inuyasha's remark, she sensed the shards coming closer from above them, she looked to the sky and saw something getting closer, that something landed on Inuyasha's back. "So, you see? You're too weak to be fighting me, the future Hokage!" a figure was standing on Inuyasha's back, he had an almost modern orange jacket and yellow spiked hair, three whisker-like birthmarks covered his face from each side. "Shut up, Naruto! You're so lame, ninjas are supposed to silent, won't you ever learn it?" a familiar voice came from the woods, then a boy came out, Sango recognized him, he still had white cleared eyes.
"Kohaku…" she whispered, he looked at her with surprise, not sure how to respond.
"Really, that's all you have? I thought you were more than a bunch of pathetic looking idiots" The masked man talked, he then pointed at shippo, "what a deformed kid, is he even human?" he asked, "he is a kitsune youkai! And he's not deformed, he's cute!" Kagome spoke up for Shippo, as the small fox was too scared to even look somewhere else other than the floor, "kitsune as in fox spirit? What a pathetic joke, Naruto, disarm the guy you're standing on, the sword in dangerous" the man said, "now, be a good coward and hand me the sword, before I'll kick your ass for it" the blonde teenager said, for everyone's surprise, Inuyasha let go of his sword and said "ye… yes father, here.. here you go, I'm being a good Hanyou, ain't I?"
"Naruto, for what reason does that idiot think you're his father?" Sasuke asked, Sakura stood there with her mouth open, she had troubles figuring out all the events going on, Naruto is a father, someone being able to block Kakashi, a giant cat, an attack without seals and someone recognizing Kohaku. "good question, but why do you think I know all the stupid people in the world? your guess is as good as mine" Naruto responded, he tried to pick up the sword, it was an old looking rusty Katana, but for his great surprise, it was heavy as a large boulder, he focused his chackra to his hand, the sword suddenly became a beautiful Katana, and then he felt it changing again, he felt something going through his hand to the seal inside him, it seemed to him that the Kyubi inside him accepted the object, he opened his hand, and saw there a dog fang.
"yack! What is this thing?" Naruto shouted in disgust, then he heard a voice inside his head, "Naruto, listen closely, get off him and stop fighting these guys, I can assure you they are not shinobies", "o.k. this situation is getting weird, lets stop this battle for a few minutes so we can grasp what's going on" Naruto said, following the Kyubi's advise, the rest of the leaf ninjas were waiting for answers as well. "I'll start" Kakashi said, "who are you, and what are you doing here?".
"I'm the Miroku the priest, this beautiful lady is Sango the demon exterminator.." Sango didn't look at the masked man, her eyes focused on the teenage which the blonde boy called Kohaku, "the other young lady is Kagome, the weird Hanyou is Inuyasha, the fox kitsune is Shippo, and the fire cat is Kirara. Now, will you tell us your names?" Miroku asked, watching Inuyasha give up his blade so easily to a teenager was quite a shock for him. "well, I guess we have to, I'm Hateke Kakahi, the two over there are Hareno Sakura and Uchiha Sasuke, the blonde one is Uzumaki Naruto and the last one Kohaku, we are all from the leaf" he pointed at his forehead protector, "that counts as an introduction, what is the hanyou thing you talked about and why does that 'Inuyasha' think Naruto is his father?" he asked, an idea started to form in his mind, Sasuke and Sakura were already wondering at what kind of power Naruto hides, this situation of weird enemies will lesser the shock if he tells them about it now.
"You know, Hanyou… half demon half human, and I'm kind of in a bind myself about Inuyasha's actions, he seems to believe that Naruto is his father for some reason" Kagome entered the conversation; she felt it was her duty to get Inuyasha back to normal. "Well, was his father a fox demon by any chance?" Kakashi asked, Inuyasha seemed so tiny compared to the stories about the Kyubi, but he did look inhuman in some ways, "no, INUyasha's father was a dog demon, as the name states, and his father is dead for over a century" Kagome said in anger, first she had to get used to a hotheaded childish Inuyasha, she didn't think she could ever get used to a coward one.
"Ask him what's his number" the Kyubi ordered Naruto, "ahmm, Inuyasha, what is your 'number'?" Naruto tried in confusion, "I'm your 37th son, father" Inuyasha replied, still looking at the ground, "hi, Naruto, I need to speck directly with them, so listen what to do, I'm about to give you chackra, so separate it from your own power and focus it in your mouth, that way I could posses your speaking ability, don't worry, I'll only be in control as long as you focus the chackra there" the Kyubi said, "sure, but don't even think about embracing me in public, stupid fox" Nartuo said while guiding the demonic power into his mouth. "This is better, now let me get it straight, you are my son, Inuyasha, born of a human mother, and half brother of Sesshomaru?" Naruto asked in a dark voice, "yes, so do you remember me, father?" Inuyasha spoke, finally looking up, almost at his normal voice, "I guess so, I didn't have that much children, and I bet you and your brother are my only living sons?" the voice asked again, "Jiriya told me about this, he said Naruto describes the Kyubi as a dark voice inside his head, are you that voice?" Kakashi asked, "wait a second, this doesn't make sense, the Kyubi is a fox demon, Inuyasha is a dog demon, and you were killed many years ago, how can you be here?" Kagome screamed.
"o.k, missy, it seems that my son hasn't fully told you about his heritage, so this is how it goes: I have 3 different forms, the wolf one, the dog one and the fox one, that's because I am like the guardian youkai of the canine race, Inuyasha was born of the dog form of mine, while Shippo is a descendant of some son of mine in fox form. I'm not going to ask what kind of relation you have with him that he brings you to his father's grave, but just to make things clear, after my 'death' from injuries caused by that stupid dragon, I returned to my fox form, and decided to do the normal massacre that demons do when they're bored, and during that found myself terrorizing this village of ninjas, and for reason beyond my knowledge, they have got their hands on a magical item, which allowed them to seal me inside Naruto, does it make this issue clear?"
The voice stopped his speech. "the magic item you talked about, does it happen to be a pink crystal shards?" Kagome asked, Naruto nodded in response, he spotted the pink rocks in his seal long ago, he suspected they were part of the sealing jutsu, but never imagined they had magical qualities, "so, just for curiosity, what do you have in common with these shards?" Kakashi asked, "oh, well, an evil demon is after them in order to become stronger, and I need to kill him in order to get rid of a curse he gave my family, and Inuyasha hates him for his own private reasons" Miroku answered, "what about the other girl? Her name is Sango, right?" Kakashi asked, "good question, Sango, why are you staring at that guy when you have me?" Miroku shouted, she didn't answer, "who is that guy anyway?" he grinned, "that's Kohaku, he got to the village about 5 years ago, poor guy, doesn't have a past at all, he used to have nightmares about some Naraku, and then he would always wake up" Naruto said, taking control of his mouth again, when Kohaku came, he invited him over instead of having him sleep at some inn, with time progress, they almost become brothers, and since both Naruto and Kohaku got a shitload of staring wherever they were, they stayed at the same house.
"Naraku? You sure it was Naraku?" Inuyasha rose up, finally back to his normal self, "yes, it was a Naraku, he still says it sometimes, mostly after missions he uses the chain scythe, does the name mean anything?" Naruto asked, "yes, that's the demon we are after, I think our course of action is clear" Sango said, "A. we are going to take the shards, B. we are taking Kohaku with us" she stated firmly, "C. you are giving me back my sword" Inuyasha added. "well, let me respond for this one, A. no, B. if Kohaku is going, then I'm going as well" Naruto said "C. you're a few hundred years old now, use your own fang" the Kyubi finished.
"But I thought you gave me the fang so I won't turn into a full blooded youkai and go on random killing springs…" Inuyasha said, "the sword was supposed to prevent your transformation until you grow up and learn to keep your mind, and it had nothing to do with 'not killing', I just didn't want you to turn youkai whenever you're hungry, you know how emotional kids can get over small things" the Kyubi explained, "so, what's happening? Just to make things clear, we are leaving with the shards and Kohaku, and unless you want us to start a small war here, you better not have any objections" Kagome said, "you really shouldn't threaten us like this, but I agree we should negotiate on this" Kakashi responded quickly to the demands, "wait a minute…Inuyasha's father was killed centuries ago, Naruto is about my age and the shards were scattered less than a year ago, the math doesn't work out!" Kagome screamed. "Math? I hate that thing, let me explain something to you, I'm one of the strongest youkais who ever walked the earth, the shards have magical power that can do almost everything, time ripping and age paradoxes occur wherever we are" the Kyubi mentioned in pride.
"dear Kagome, you really shouldn't be the one talking, you come through a well from the future…" Mitoku said, "but still, my time travel makes some sense, and it doesn't clash with logic!" she screamed at him, annoyed that he dared to ruin her argument, "what, you come from the future? Are there electronic wires everywhere like Shikamaru says?" Naruto asked, "you know about electricity? thanks heaven, these guys are from the stone age, they don't even have hot water!" she complained, "no hot water? Then you don't have ramen?" he asked in fear, a life without ramen were a nightmare for Naruto, "oh no, I always bring ramen from my time, sometimes it's chicken ramen, sometimes veggies and sometimes it's the new experimental stuff" She said, she always brought as much as she could so that inuyasha would shut up and forget the fact she left him and went to her time. "all kinds of ramen? Demons and stuff? Me and Kohaku are coming!" Naruto said, Kakashi could only sigh, it was beyond his power to understand the brat, but he guessed Naruto still looked to challenge himself, "I call holds on the ramen" Inuyasha said quietly.
Yay! Inuyasha said something funny!
And here's the response for my only reviewer, chirstina:
Thanks for the review, I really appreciate it, especially with a messed up chapter like that one… anyway, the idea came to me when I read a poll at a forum, it was Gaara VS sessohamaru, I thought about it a bit and then it rolled and become this fic. The name is still a problem, but anything is better than the current one. The idea to make Inu's dad (can some one dig up his name for me? I don't want to refer to him as the Kyubi for all the fic) a three formed super demon came from an AU fic that had IY as the western lord's son and Kouga as another one's, so I decided that inu's dad got the position because he is a "superior" demon. Last thing, Sessohamaru is making an appearance, I haven't written it yet, but I can promise it won't be a "mushy mushy' brotherly fluffed chapter, in fact, I can promise that this and any other fic I write (except the one-shots) won't be fluff and will deal with childhood problems and serious issues, in fact, that's the reason I aged up Naruto,
I want to state again that I need you help:
the fics title, suggestions are welcomed Plot, I'm in a desperate need of one, but just encounters (such as: Naruto meets Sessohamaru, Hinata meets Kouga) are welcomed as well.By the way, the hardest part of writing this crossover is to NOT ultra-use low humor like miroku gropes Naruto sexy no jutsu.
Anyway, REVIWES ARE NEEDED, FLAMES AS WELL, but they will be used to burn voodoo dolls of the flamers after I read them.
