Chapter 11: Dog fights & fox demons
They all sat & looked at each other for some time before someone spoke. "So, Miss Hikari these are the people you were talking about?" Hikari blushed as she leaned her head against Sesshoumaru. "Yes, These are my friends. This is Inuyasha the hanyou, Kagome the semi-miko, Shippo the kitsune cub, Miroku the monk, Sango the demon slayer, her brother Kohaku the demon slayer, Sesshoumaru the taiyoukai, Jaken the toad demon, Rin the cute, & Ah-Un the dragon. Everyone this is Kaoru Kamiya, Kenshin Himura, Sanosuke Sagara, Yahiko Myojin, Misoa, & Megumi." Everyone shook hands, even Sano who wasn't too comfortable with all the youkai in the room. "It is very nice to meet you all." Kenshin said as he shook Sesshoumaru's hand, then Inuyasha's. Kaoru was playing the good host & was making tea for everyone. "So you 5 are demons?" Sano asked as he eyed them. "Actually Inuyasha is a half demon, so there are only 4 full ones here." Sesshoumaru said before Inuyasha sliced the man with Tetsusaiga, which he couldn't do even if he wanted to. "So what happened after I was pushed down the well?" Hikari asked as she fought to change the subject before Sano said something stupid. "Oh uh.he ran as soon as you were down the well without your jewel shard. Speaking of which." Kagome pulled out the shard that had been taken from Hikari. "Wow, how did you get it back?" Hikari asked as she pulled the jewel from her. "Kagura had it. Naraku had fled but left her behind with the shard." Sango answered for Kagome. "Why would he do that? I mean push me in, seal it against me, & then leave the key with Kagura, then leave her behind to face you guys?" Hikari asked as she tucked the jewel into her clothes. "Actually, Kagura took it from the bugs before Naraku could get it. Then she threw it at us & told us to get you back." Kohaku said as he took a sip of tea. Misoa was still looking at Hikari intensely. "But if you could get through the whole time, then why didn't you come when I fell through?" Hikari asked as she too took a sip of tea. "We couldn't. The well wouldn't work for any time. The thing was just a well until a few hours ago. I wonder if the spell wore off then." Jaken thought out loud. Hikari gasped, everyone turned to look at her. "I was at the well in 'true form' only a few hours ago." They stared at her quizzically. "I was casting a spell on the well to try & get through. I wonder if I broke the barrier. Maybe Naraku didn't think that I could reach 'true form' to break it." The IY gang nodded their agreement. Sano suddenly looked around stunned. "Hey where's Saito? I thought he was here earlier." Hikari froze. "I uh.wait he followed me to the well & the last thing I remember is telling him to.watch out." Hikari gulped as she disappeared to the well. She was back in 2 minutes to confirm that Saito was OK & back at the station puzzling over her powers. Sano didn't trust her again, not that she cared. "I bet you ate him." Sano said as she explained what had happened. Hikari blushed. "I don't eat people, I am one!" She growled at him. Before anyone could say another word a ringing sounded through the room. Hikari stood bewildered. That sounded like the bell on Hikaru's collar! "Hikaru?" Hikari questioned as she walked over to the door & opened it. She stared at the dog that was sitting halfway towards the door on the ground. The dog wagged his tail & began to pant when he saw Hikari. He looked a lot like Hikaru, he had the silver fur, the yellow eyes that sparkled endlessly. Hikari was about to close the door back on the dog when she spotted the collar on his neck. She gasped as she stepped out the door. It was Hikaru's collar! But why didn't he speak? Maybe he had lost the ability to talk? Hikari ran toward the dog. "Hikaru what's the matter?" Everyone else was at the door now watching her as she ran toward the strange dog that was on its feet now. Hikari stopped & put her hand out to pet him. *Spurt* Everyone stopped as the dog bit down on her hand. Rin clutched to Sesshoumaru's face as she saw the expression of anger cross Hikari's face. Hikari had never looked at something like that before, like she hated it. Rin saw a large amount of blood spill down her hand as she glared at the dog. "YOU.how dare you impersonate Hikaru." Hikari's eyes burned with hatred & disgust as she swung a glowing hand at the dog. The animal back-flipped & they all watched as its fur changed from silver to black. The dog was laughing menacingly at her. "Such a pity. I was only supposed to watch you, not fight you, but I guess this is supposed to be a perk." The dog took the form of a tall, black haired woman. The woman giggled at the stunned looks on the faces of her onlookers. "Magagoto. What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be in the future with that loser Kuroi?" Hikari asked as she nursed her bleeding hand. Magagoto laughed again. "Silly girl! Master Kuroi told me to come here & keep an eye on you!" She was enjoying watching Hikari try to figure out how to lose her.
Hikari glared up at the woman from the ground. "Why do you wanna spy on me? You could get hurt!!!" Hikari launched from the ground in a flurry of feathers. Magagoto shrieked as Hikari came toward her a lightning speed. She fell a good distance into a tree below. "Damn. You weren't supposed to be so strong! Wait could you be a.?!" Magagoto dropped off as she scrambled to dodge Hikari's next move. "I'm a what?!" Hikari asked as she rounded on the woman for another attack. Magagoto was hit dead on by a blue orb, & flew back. "No, she can't be! She can't be one! No, not even master Kuroi is a 'True Dragon'! There is no way that this brat could be one!" Hikari slugged her again. She laughed this time. "Maybe I am one of these 'True Dragon's', & if Kuroi ain't one then I guess I could be him to crap! Better go warn him Maga, or he might get scared!" Magagoto glared at her but found that she was correct. Kuroi would need to know if his 'fiancé' was a notorious 'True Dragon' of legend. "You shall see me again girl! Be prepared!" With that she vanished into thin air leaving behind only a single feather. Hikari destroyed it hastily. "Well, who wants to go back in?"
Sano was no longer afraid she would eat him but blow up the world too. "With those powers you could take over the world, little missy! What are you?!" Hikari noticed that Misoa was still staring rather hard at her. Hikari turned her head slightly & noticed why. They looked identical, same clothes, almost the same hair, same ninja abilities. "I already told you Sano! I'm a member of the elite 'White Dragon Clan'!!! And I am NOT interested in destroying or taking over the world!.Or eating people." She said when he opened his mouth to talk. Kagome intervened at this point. They were all getting tired of Sano & Hikari yelling at each other. "I remember where I heard your name before Hikari. When you were sick, & you told us who you were. I thought that at school I had heard about a girl at Crossroads high that was a supreme fighter & went by the name of 'Hikari'." Hikari gulped down the rice that she had been eating. "But everyone called this girl 'Kagosu Unmei' or 'Burning Destiny'. The name was said to reflect the way you fought." Hikari wiped a little rice from her mouth. "The way I fought?" Kagome nodded. Everyone was listening intently to the story of the origin of Hikari's name. Hikari blushed. She was a little embarrassed. She had never heard why she was called 'Burning Destiny'. Just that one-day everyone started calling that & it sorta stuck. " The name was invented by those who had fought you. They said that it always felt like destiny was calling when they received a challenge from you. That's one part of the name. The other related to how you hit. Wherever they were hit the place would burn for days, like it was on fire. That's the other part." Kagome continued to eat. "It has nothing to do with fire. Those guys were just wimps picking on weaker guys. The reason it burned was because they were outta shape & they hit like girls." Hikari stopped short. She was a girl! "I mean, they were no good at fighting."
As the night wore on the IY gang prepared to head out. " I wish there was something I could give that shows how much I appreciate the help you guys gave me." Hikari said facing the Edo period friends. "Don't worry about it." Kaoru said with a smile. Hikari rummaged through her pack. "Here this should do it." She handed a two leather coin bags to Kaoru. "One has a tiny music box for each of you in it, & the other has money from the Warring States Era." She dropped the bags in Kaoru's hands. "Thank you so much. I hope we can see each other again." Hikari took off down the path toward her friends, waving cheerfully. Her wings spread & visible in the moonlight. Kenshin smiled as he watched her go. Misoa was still staring thoughtfully at the girl. "Hey Misoa, you & her wouldn't happen to be." "No, we're not." Misoa cut through Sano's question as she turned around & headed back toward the house. The other's followed each listening to the song on the tiny buttons.
"Woo! Come on Rin, let's be the first down the well!" Hikari called as she sprinted ahead. Rin ran along side of her with Shippo in her arms. All three were laughing as they tore after one another. "Wait Hikari it's not.safe." Hikari had just run by Kagome & Inuyasha, Rin close on her heels. Kagome watched as they approached the well at a steady run. Hikari looked as if she were going to stop when she got closer. Good, thought Kagome, at least she won't.too late. Hikari had just jumped feet first into the well, Rin was clambering up the side & was soon gone too. Sesshoumaru jumped forward & looked into the well. "They went through." He said wearily as he brushed back some of his hair. "Well, let's follow them. Don't just stand there & act like she disappeared again." Inuyasha grumped as he neared the well. They all put a hand on Kagome as they prepared to jump.
Hikari felt the surging feeling of going through the well again. She closed her eyes as the feel of falling rushed over her. Her hair being pushed back, the wind running through her fingers. She sighed & was contented with the feeling for some time before she noticed that she was still having the feeling that she was falling. She opened her eyes with a start. Hikari looked down only to notice that she was being hurtled toward an unfamiliar ground. She was flipped on her back & could right herself to fly. She gave up & prepared for impact. She gasped as she felt her back connect with the solid ground.
"Naruto stop it!" Sakura yelled as the blonde haired boy threw another shuriken into the bushes. "I swear there was something there a minute ago!" Naruto claimed as he stared at the place where he had thrown the star. Sasuke was staring at them both from where he was sitting on the tree log. "Naruto please don't play with your shuriken, they can be dangerous." A gray haired man asked as he washed his hands in the river. Naruto glared at the ground. What a waste! They had delivered the old man, but the other's still treated him like a child! He stared back up into the sky only to see a person falling from the air. It was a woman! "Master Kakashi, in the sky!" The gray haired man looked to where Naruto was pointing, Sakura & Sasuke looked toward the sky also. They all watched as a girl frantically was trying to roll over in mid air. "Is-is that a person?!" Sakura asked as she spotted the falling female. Kakashi motioned them to follow as they took off toward the girl's landing point.
As they neared the place they noticed that the girl was but a few feet above them. They tried to fasten the pace but were too slow. *BOOM*
The ground was covered in smoke as they stood over the place where the girl had fallen. "Woah, that's crater's gotta be the size of a house!" Naruto exclaimed as the dust cleared. The girl lay crumpled at the center of the crater, dust & dirt flaked on her. Kakashi stared for a minute before he looked around. "It doesn't look like she was attacked. I wonder where she fell from?" He looked up toward the sky. Below the girl was moving shakily. "Damn. Never feet first again, & definitely not without looking first." Hikari growled as she pushed herself to her knees. Totally unaware that there were people behind her she looked up into the sky. "They should be around here somewhere." Hikari got to her feet still staring. A tiny scream was heard as another pair of people fell. "Bingo." Hikari said. Rin fell with Shippo beside her toward the ground. She witnessed a small group of people on the ground below. The only recognizable one though was Hikari. "Hiiikkkarrrriiiiii-sammmmaaaaaaa!!!!!" She screamed as she fell faster. "Please catch us!" Shippo was whispering to himself with his eyes closed.
Naruto watched as the woman caught both of the other two fallers without a single back step. The two smaller ones hugged the girl around the neck until it looked like she couldn't breath properly. Rin opened her eye's slowly to look at the group of people. "Hikari-sama, there are people behind us." Rin whispered in her ear, while Shippo said the same in the other. Hikari set them down slowly & turned to face the onlookers. "Uhhh.hi. Can you tell me where I can find a well with bones lining the bottom?" Kakashi was stunned that the girl was able to move, she had looked near or at death only a few moments before. "There's one in our city." Was all he managed to say. "Yes! Come on guys. Thank you mister." She waved & all three disappeared without a trace. "Master Kakashi, what was that?" Naruto asked in a stunned voice. The ninja master shook his head. "I have no idea."
"Wait where is this city?" The blonde haired girl asked as she reappeared beside Kakashi only moments later. The other people behind him jumped & went for their weapons. Kakashi just stared at her. The little girl & a smaller boy with a tail & strange ears were with her too. "The city that we are travelling to has this well in it, but what is it that you want with it?" Hikari smiled. "That's my business, besides you'd think I was crazy just like the last people I told, so I'm trying to avoid that." Naruto was ready to jump her now. He was directly behind her, he could see the sword & shuriken at her hip perfectly now. He crouched & sprung. Hikari dodged. Naruto fell to the dirt in front of her. "Hey, that's a dirty trick lady." Naruto growled as he pushed himself up. Hikari smiled. "You're the one who tried to jump me. So don't tell me off about dirty tricks. And my names Hikari, not 'girl', not 'woman', not 'lady'. Hikari. And this is Rin & Shippo, my friends. Wait have you guys seen any others falling from the sky like me?" Hikari looked from the group behind her to the man up front. "No, you three are the first we've seen." Hikari looked at the ground woefully, as did Shippo & Rin. "It's nice to meet you Hikari. My name is Sakura. This is Sasuke, this is Master Kakashi, & you met Naruto." Hikari turned & smiled at the girl behind her. "Where is the city with the well Kakashi-sensei?" He looked at her out of the corner of his eye. "We are heading toward it as we speak. Tell me what is in the well that you are so anxious to get to it?" Hikari looked back at the ground. "Me & my friends used this well to travel between the times." All eyes were on her she knew this would happen, now she understood why men never asked for directions. "The well used to only travel between my time & the time of the Sengoku Jidaii. But then this asshole named Naraku pushed me down & sealed the damn thing against my powers. I fell into the Edo Era, where I met some new friends. I was finally able to get back through the well when my friends from the Sengoku Jidaii arrived through it. Us three ran ahead & jumped back down the well, they probably jumped in after we did, but I don't know. Now we're here looking for the stupid well that got us in this mess." They surveyed her as she blushed & looked at the ground. Super, she was stuck in another time with more people that thought she was crazy, & worst was that Sesshoumaru wasn't even there with her. She sighed as she looked at her feet, which had suddenly become quite interesting. "Excuse me, are you a ninja miss Hikari?" Sakura asked as she eyed the shuriken. Hikari thought that over a minute. "Yeah.I guess you could say that." Sakura smiled. These people weren't that bad. "Now, I think we ought to go. Thanks for the directions." "WAIT!!!" It was Naruto holding tight to her clothes so she couldn't disappear without him. "Hai?" Hikari asked as she planted her floating feet on the ground before someone noticed. "You said that this guy named Naraku did this to you right? That he sealed this well against your powers? Well what powers did you have that he didn't want you hangin' around?" Hikari stopped walking entirely, causing him to bump into her. "I meant that he sealed it so I couldn't get through." Naruto gave her an unconvinced look as she started walking again. He watched her closely as they prepared to make camp that night.
Alright I figured out the name of the song that Jiro always played on his guitar & was the ending theme to 'Android Kikaider'!! YAY!!! It's called 'Dream something'. I forget already -_-;;. Ah well, I thought I wrote it down here but I guess I didn't. Well, anyhoo, the "Naruto" story takes place after they drop off the old man to the bridge thing. The part of the story where they do drop him off finally after defeating a whole bunch of people hasn't come out in the "Shonen Jump" yet as of when I am writing this. So chill if it ain't right! It's my damn fan fic!! In the words of Cartman from South Park: "Whatever, whatever, I do what I want!" So HA! ^_~
If you send nice reviews I might dedicate a story to you on fictionpress.com or I might dedicate a chapter to you on Inuyasha.net or here even. ^_^ Come on, you know you want to. This chap goes out to all my reviewers. ^_~

The little girl & a smaller boy with a tail & strange ears were with her too. "The city that we are travelling to has this well in it, but what is it that you want with it?" Hikari smiled. "That's my business, besides you'd think I was crazy just like the last people I told, so I'm trying to avoid that." Naruto was ready to jump her now. He was directly behind her, he could see the sword & shuriken at her hip perfectly now. He crouched & sprung. Hikari dodged. Naruto fell to the dirt in front of her. "Hey, that's a dirty trick lady." Naruto growled as he pushed himself up. Hikari smiled. "You're the one who tried to jump me. So don't tell me off about dirty tricks. And my names Hikari, not 'girl', not 'woman', not 'lady'. Hikari. And this is Rin & Shippo, my friends. Wait have you guys seen any others falling from the sky like me?" Hikari looked from the group behind her to the man up front. "No, you three are the first we've seen." Hikari looked at the ground woefully, as did Shippo & Rin. "It's nice to meet you Hikari. My name is Sakura. This is Sasuke, this is Master Kakashi, & you met Naruto." Hikari turned & smiled at the girl behind her. "Where is the city with the well Kakashi-sensei?" He looked at her out of the corner of his eye. "We are heading toward it as we speak. Tell me what is in the well that you are so anxious to get to it?" Hikari looked back at the ground. "Me & my friends used this well to travel between the times." All eyes were on her she knew this would happen, now she understood why men never asked for directions. "The well used to only travel between my time & the time of the Sengoku Jidaii. But then this asshole named Naraku pushed me down & sealed the damn thing against my powers. I fell into the Edo Era, where I met some new friends. I was finally able to get back through the well when my friends from the Sengoku Jidaii arrived through it. Us three ran ahead & jumped back down the well, they probably jumped in after we did, but I don't know. Now we're here looking for the stupid well that got us in this mess." They surveyed her as she blushed & looked at the ground. Super, she was stuck in another time with more people that thought she was crazy, & worst was that Sesshoumaru wasn't even there with her. She sighed as she looked at her feet, which had suddenly become quite interesting. "Excuse me, are you a ninja miss Hikari?" Sakura asked as she eyed the shuriken. Hikari thought that over a minute. "Yeah.I guess you could say that." Sakura smiled. These people weren't that bad. "Now, I think we ought to go. Thanks for the directions." "WAIT!!!" It was Naruto holding tight to her clothes so she couldn't disappear without him. "Hai?" Hikari asked as she planted her floating feet on the ground before someone noticed. "You said that this guy named Naraku did this to you right? That he sealed this well against your powers? Well what powers did you have that he didn't want you hangin' around?" Hikari stopped walking entirely, causing him to bump into her. "I meant that he sealed it so I couldn't get through." Naruto gave her an unconvinced look as she started walking again. He watched her closely as they prepared to make camp that night.
Alright I figured out the name of the song that Jiro always played on his guitar & was the ending theme to 'Android Kikaider'!! YAY!!! It's called 'Dream something'. I forget already -_-;;. Ah well, I thought I wrote it down here but I guess I didn't. Well, anyhoo, the "Naruto" story takes place after they drop off the old man to the bridge thing. The part of the story where they do drop him off finally after defeating a whole bunch of people hasn't come out in the "Shonen Jump" yet as of when I am writing this. So chill if it ain't right! It's my damn fan fic!! In the words of Cartman from South Park: "Whatever, whatever, I do what I want!" So HA! ^_~
If you send nice reviews I might dedicate a story to you on fictionpress.com or I might dedicate a chapter to you on Inuyasha.net or here even. ^_^ Come on, you know you want to. This chap goes out to all my reviewers. ^_~
BYE!!!
