FOREINGER By: OtakuSailorV
"So, Miss Hikari, where do you three come from?" Kakashi asked after they had made camp & a fire. Hikari looked across at him a little stunned, she didn't want to give too much away. "We live in a place that is much different from here." Hikari said simply trying to avoid his real meaning. "I mean 'where'." Kakashi said a little more forcefully. Hikari was worried, he wanted to know, but she couldn't tell everybody from where or what she was. "I live in a house in Tokyo. Rin lives with her family at the shrine, & Shippo lives in the forest by the shrine." Naruto was behind her again. He had supposedly gone for firewood but was instead sneaking around in the bush, ready to jump her. She turned her head a little as she noticed a hand sneaking to grab her sword. She turned completely & grabbed Naruto's hand. She swiftly adjusted her grip & flung Naruto onto his back in front of her. "Don't you trust me? Really with all these kids around I wouldn't attack anyone here. Plus I ain't got nothin' against you guys so stop trying to take my weapons!" Naruto stared vaguely up at her as she released his arm & sat back down. Sasuke was looking down on him with a smug look on his face. "Where did you learn to fight?! Your grip is like a vice!" Hikari smiled at him as he rolled over onto his stomach & picked himself up. "A friend of mine taught me." Naruto gave her a puzzled look. "Does this guy live on the other side of the well with you?" "I bet he's your boyfriend!" Sakura popped in with a knowing smile. Hikari looked startled. "Actually he does live in my house but he isn't my boyfriend." "Husband then?" Sakura asked before Naruto could utter another word. "No, he's just a friend. A family friend, I've known him since I was little." Hikari watched their faces as she tried to explain without giving Hikaru away. "What's his name?" Kakashi asked. Hikari slid a glance at Sasuke who had not said a word to her yet. "His name is Hikaru." Rin was smiling at her like she was about to tell what she thought of her fluffy companion. 'Rin don't tell them what Hikaru is.' Rin heard the voice but didn't believe it. She was hearing Hikari in her head! She glanced around then at Hikari confusedly. 'I don't want them to know what he is quite yet.' Hikari said in her head. Rin looked over & nodded at her. Good, she understands. Hikari thought quietly. "So what does he look like?" Sakura asked, face in hands & elbows on knees leaning toward her. "He has long white hair, & yellow eyes." Rin put her hands up to her head as a sign of ears wagging back & forth. Then moved them down to her but to show a long tail. Hikari pretended not to notice because Kakashi was watching & listening to her very closely with a weird look in his eye. "Is he cute?" Hikari thought that over. "Yeah, he is." "If you've known him since you were born how old is this 'cute' guy?" Sasuke asked with his fingers laced together & his mouth behind them. He had the same bored look that Sesshoumaru had when he was thinking or fighting, now that Hikari had an excuse to look at him closely. "I-I don't know exactly. He's much older than me though." Hikari said as she turned her gaze to the ground wondering if her friend was all right. "So, is he a part of your family?" "He's just a family friend, but he does seem like family." She was speaking absently now; mind focused fully on the dog- demons that she knew. Sesshoumaru, Hikaru, Inuyasha, they all were gone again. She had to find them & get back home! "Hello! Anybody home?!" Naruto asked tapping her on the head. She flinched as her eyes focused on the group around her. "Sorry, memories." Hikari said in an apologetic tone. "Did someone ask me a question?" "Yeah, Sasuke wanted to know 'why does he stay with you if he isn't family or husband?'" Sakura repeated as Naruto sat back down by the silent Kakashi. "I.he's.my guardian. Where I come from I'm too young to stay by myself so he takes care of me." Hikari noticed that she had just let slip that she was alone in her house, without parents or siblings! Maybe they didn't notice! Hikari thought franticly of how she was going to explain. "So, you live alone? Where are your parents? Don't you have any brothers or sisters, or even aunts or uncles?" Sakura asked. Hikari cast her head downward again. "I never had Grandparents, aunts or uncles. I did have a mother & father & brother's & a sister, but.they all died some time ago." Rin's head was down too, remembering her family, along with Shippo. Everyone around the campfire straightened up. Naruto looked up at the moon thinking of days spent alone watching families out his window. Sasuke on the log had leaned his forehead against his hands & stared at the ground. Kakashi stared hard at her, while Sakura looked embarrassed for asking the question. "I-I'm sorry. How did they die? If you wanna talk about it." Sakura looked at Hikari as she lifted her head & sighed. "When I was little we moved to a different house but my family made a point of every year going back to the city we used to live in. One year I decided not to go & stayed at home with Hikaru. There are things in my time called 'cars' that are like umm.this." Hikari drew out the picture in the dirt. "People ride in them to get from place to place. It's easier then walking far distances. Anyway they were driving one night & they crashed. I got the news that they had died a few hours later. Ever since I've stayed with Hikari." Kakashi was still staring. Naruto looked at him for a moment before he followed what he was looking at. Naruto gasped & pointed a shaky finger at Hikari who gave him a quizzical look. His eyes had gone small as he stared at her shocked. "On y-your b-b-back." Was all he said, but it caught the attention of the rest of the ninja's. Hikari froze. The moon!! Hikari cursed under her breath. "Hai, they are wings. I cannot tell you everything though. Not until all my friends are with me. I will tell you the truth about what you have learned so far. I am Kayla Lorenz, better known as Hikari Oukami. I had an older brother & a younger brother & sister, along with a mom & dad. They all did die in a car wreck in the country that I used to live in. I now live with my dog-demon friend Hikaru who plays the part of my dog by the same name. Rin & Shippo are really from the time of the Sengoku Jidaii. The time that the well is really supposed to drop us off in, but Naraku cast a spell on it & now we need to get back to our time to fix this problem & kill the bastard. Shippo is a Kitsune pup. Our friends include: Kagome the semi-miko, Inuyasha the hanyou, Miroku the lecherous monk, Sango the demon slayer, her brother Kohaku the demon slayer, Kirara the something or other, Sesshoumaru the taiyoukai, Jaken the toad demon, Ah-Un the two headed dragon, Myoga the flea, possibly Koga the demon wolf, possibly the miko Kikyo. I guess you think this is pretty weird huh? Well, I'm about to make it weirder. I am a pure blooded descendent of the White Dragon Clan. We WDC members are super-human people that have wings & powers. We are known as the WDC for the white dragon wings that appear when we are in 'True Form'. Until we shift into that mode we have white feather covered wings." Hikari was rubbing her forehead just thinking about all this. "Sorry that I had to lie but I wasn't sure who I should tell about my.uh.abilities & friends." Kakashi smiled at her. "I thought there was something strange about you." Hikari smiled & laughed. "Believe me, MUCH stranger than you think." Hikari was laughing for quite sometime before they all decided to go to sleep. When they finally did Rin was asleep on Hikari. The tiny girl was leaning against her as they both fell asleep lying down on the fallen tree log. Shippo was curled up on Hikari's stomach as she slept. (Author: This is a particularly large tree. Think of Red Wood trees big! The trees in this forest are that big.) Rin was beside her snuggled close to her body as they stared at the stars before sleep took them.
The next morning they packed up & were on their way before even the birds were singing. The sky was perfectly blue with only a few white clouds dotting the sky. Rin was still half-asleep as she trudged down the road clutching Hikari's hand for support & guidance. Shippo was curled up on her head sleeping still as they walked. Naruto seemed extremely interested in the little demon now that he knew what he was. He stared at the strange ball of fluff that was atop Hikari's head like a hat. "So, in human years he's an adult. But by Kitsune years he's still a kid? Is that his only tail?" Naruto asked as he stared at Hikari who was trying to walk as erect as possible. "Yes, & yes. He'll gain more tails the longer that he's alive & the more powerful he becomes." Naruto nodded as he turned his attention forward again.
Sakura was much friendlier with Hikari now. Something that Hikari thought was funny. "So you're from the future huh? What's it like? Are you a ninja or a samurai?" Hikari smiled at her. "Yes, but not your future. It's Ok, there's some cool stuff but nothing like here. No, I'm not a ninja or a samurai, but that would be cool if I was. You are though aren't you?" Sakura smiled & nodded.
Sasuke had been silent ever since Hikari had spoken of her family the night before. He glanced her way several times but never spoke. Hikari was puzzled by his silence & bored expression but was used to it by now & didn't mention it. She wondered what had happened that he no longer wished to talk to her. She shrugged & kept on.
Kakashi watched as a blue & brown dot headed toward them. Stopping in the dirt road he stared up at it. The parade behind him stopped also & stared up at the sky too. Hikari followed the dot until it was bigger & easier to recognize. Hikari gasped as Rin & Shippo recognized the figure too. "Ah-Un?!" Hikari shot down the road to meet the roaring two-headed dragon. Kakashi watched as the beast soared down to her & met her on the road. Rin & Shippo bounded after her as the dragon landed. "Ah-Un came without Sesshoumaru-sama!" Rin said as she approached. Hikari was un- strapping her stuff from the dragon as the girl spoke. The ninja's stared at the girls that were happily greeting what looked to them like a horrible monster. "A-are you sure that thing is safe?" Sakura asked from behind master Kakashi. Hikari lifted the bike off of the Ah-Un's back. "Of course he is. He's really very sweet." Rin hugged the two-headed dragon's torso happily. "Yo, Ah-Un." The dragon turned his heads from licking Rin's face so that he could see Hikari clearly. "Did you manage to see anyone else while you were looking for us? Like Inuyasha or Sesshoumaru?" The dragon shook his heads as he pricked his ears forward. "No one? Not even Kirara?" The dragon stopped & cocked his heads toward his tails. Hikari gave him a puzzled look. "What?" Ah-Un repeated the motion. Taking the hint Hikari glanced at his tails.
Asleep on one of the ridges was Kirara, with a black speck on his torso. Hikari gasped. "Kirara & Old man Myoga!!" She gave Ah-Un a kiss on his noses before going to pick up & cuddle Kirara. "Way past cool! We got a faster way to transport & friend finders!" Kirara woke with a start, shaking off Myoga carelessly. "Hikari?" Myoga yawned as he woke up on her arm. Hikari looked toward him & smiled. Kirara loosed himself from her grip & climbed up on her head & lay back down. "Must be comfortable up there." She mused as Kirara settled himself. "Say Myoga did you see Inuyasha?" Shippo asked from the ground. "If I did I would have brought him with me." Myoga said a little half-heartedly.
A stern cough issued from among the ninja's. Hikari looked back & realized that she had forgotten to introduce her friends. "Oh, Myoga, Kirara, Ah-Un, these are some friends of ours. Meet Kakashi, Naruto, Sakura, & Sasuke. They live in the town where the well is. Everyone meet Myoga, Kirara, & Ah-Un. My friends from the Sengoku Jidaii that I told you about." The ninja's stared at her a little perplexed. "Uh, what's the matter?" "We can see Ah-Un, & Kirara, but who & where is Myoga?" Naruto asked pointing toward the animals. "And why are you talking to your arm?" He added. "Oh, this is Myoga." Myoga bounced onto her outstretched palm. "He's a demon flea." Everyone squinted to see the tiny flea demon on Hikari's palm, which was bowing. "Ah-Un you wouldn't mind a few passengers would you?" The dragon shook his heads. "What about you Kirara? Can you guys carry us to the city?" The tiny cat youkai jumped down to the ground & transformed in a flurry of fire. Ah-Un put down one shoulder for boarding. " I take that as a 'yes'." Hikari said with a smile as she started to strap her stuff onto Kirara instead of Ah-Un.
The villagers of Konohagakura village stood rooted to the spot. Their eyes looking as if they were going to pop out of their heads, as they watched the tiny kitty transform into Godzilla with fur. "Hey, what ya waitin' for? Hop on!" Hikari motioned them to sit on Kirara as she prepared for flight herself. Rin & Shippo were already seated on Ah-Un & Kirara along with Myoga. After a short interval that seemed to take forever, master Kakashi stepped forward & mounted Ah-Un with Rin. Sasuke was the next to mount the two-headed dragon with Naruto close behind. Sakura reluctantly dragged herself to Kirara & mounted him. She took the chance to do something that she wanted to do for some time. Grabbing Shippo's tail she hugged him to her & yelled: "Kawaii! Cute!" Shippo aloud himself to be hugged for sometime before he jumped back onto Kirara's head. "Let's go Kirara!" The great cat demon launched forth from the ground with a roar. Sakura gasped & held tight to Kirara's neck for protection. Shippo looked down at her from his perch & smiled. "You'll get used to it." He said with a knowing look her way.
Still on the ground the boy's & remaining girls watched Kirara soar through the air. Hikari smiled & bent her knees for launch. "Ready Rin- chan?" Rin smiled & nodded. "Hai, Hikari-sama!" Before the boys were even warned Ah-Un took off with a feathery Hikari up ahead. Naruto almost fell backward when he saw Hikari gliding through the air on her feathery wings. Sasuke was also watching the flying girl with interest finally showing in his face. They both leaned over to see if Kakashi was also watching her. He was! They watched as his eyes moved with every beat of her wings. 'Obviously looking for her weak point.' Naruto thought as he to watched her. Sasuke ripped his gaze from her & instead watched a swirley pinkish red cloud loom nearer. "Master Kakashi, over there." Sasuke pointed to the cloud that held the shape of three people on it, coming closer. "Hikari we've got some followers!" Shippo announced at almost the same time. Hikari turned her head from the forest below to the cloud that was getting closer. Her eyes went big & dewy as she gasped again & took off in the direction of the cloud. "Sesshoumaru!!!!" She cried as she extended her arms & beat her wings harder. Sesshoumaru caught sight of her just in time to steady himself on the cloud as she barreled into him. "And Jaken's here too, & hey Kohaku!" Hikari gave them all huge hugs as she straightened up on the big cloud. "We found where the well is here! Where's Inuyasha & the other's?" Hikari turned her head from side to side then looked below. The rest were nowhere to be seen & Kohaku was staring at the cloud ground with sad eyes. "We don't know where my sister & the other's are. Sesshoumaru caught the scent of Inuyasha that way but it's not strong so we came to you instead." Kohaku pointed in the direction that Hikari's party had come from. "Hey, I bet Inuyasha will pick up my scent & come here at top speed don't worry. Besides your sisters real strong, she won't get hurt." Hikari put a reassuring hand on Kohaku's shoulder, he gave her a sad smile & perked up a little.
They had been flying for some time before Hikari noticed that something was following them. She looked behind her but saw nothing but the mountains that had always been there. Sesshoumaru must have felt it too for he also was looking back at the mountain range. "You feel it too Sesshoumaru?" He nodded vaguely, the bored expression plastered on his face. "I smell Inuyasha, not far behind. There is another smell coming from the west that seems to be the two humans that he also travels with. The two humans seem to be making slow progress. Maybe we should send Kirara back to them?" He turned the bored look back on Hikari who turned to face Sakura. "Sakura you wouldn't mind flying on Ah-Un for a short time would ya?" Sakura nodded as she stood up & grabbed a hold of Hikari's outstretched arm. Swooping her wings correctly Hikari was able to drop Sakura on the very back of Ah-Un. "Shippo. You, Myoga, & Kirara go back for Sango & Miroku. Inuyasha & Kagome should be here by the time you get back." Shippo nodded as Kirara glided off in a westerly direction. Hikari waved to them as they disappeared from sight.
Sesshoumaru was right in his thought that Inuyasha was coming. Not long after Shippo & the others had left a red dot was seen bounding along the trail below. Hikari swooped down beside him & told him what was happening & introduced him to the Konohagakura ninja's. Kagome was glad to hear that everyone was OK & told Hikari what had happened after she had jumped through the well with Rin & Shippo. "When we went in we were deposited right on the ground. I wonder why you fell?" Kagome was as perplexed as Hikari about the fact that Rin, Shippo, & she had almost fallen to their deaths.
About a half-hour later they could see both the city & Kirara closing in with his passengers aboard & waving. "Sango! Miroku! Welcome back!" The two passengers exchanged greetings with everyone as they neared the city gates. Kakashi eyed the now reformed group of odd travelers that were going to jump down a well to get home. "Are you sure that the well will work?" He asked as they bore down to the ground. Hikari turned around completely. "If it doesn't we'll end up with some sore muscles." She smiled as she turned back to the business of trying not to fall face-first into the dirt.
As they disembarked Kirara changed back into his kitty form & crawled up onto Kohaku's shoulder. (After Hikari had removed her things.) Then tried to decide how they were going to go into the city without attracting a lot of attention. "Ah-Un will definitely attract the attention of every living being in the city." Naruto pointed out. Kakashi nodded. "Shippo, you can take the form of a human boy right?" Shippo nodded at Kagome's question. "I can change into just about everything." He puffed out his chest proudly. "Inuyasha, those ears have got to lay flat." Kagome had changed her attention to the fuming hanyou. "This is so damn stupid! Who cares if they what we are?! As long as they don't destroy the fuckin' well!!" Both Hikari & Kagome glared at him. He noticed what he had just said & took a step back. "Inuyasha." He gulped as he took another step backward. "SIT BOY!" The necklace glowed as his body was pulled to the ground forcefully by the beads. The ninja's watched in horror as they witnessed the event. Sesshoumaru raised an eyebrow. The other ignored it, they had seen it too often to care any longer. "Now, Jaken, you just stay between everyone while we're walking. You're so short that people hopefully won't notice you between our legs." Hikari had resumed giving out instructions now that Inuyasha had been disciplined.
When they were finally walking through the city to the well Inuyasha had gained the wounds from three more 'sit' attacks & Miroku had a more hand marks on his face than ever thought possible. Shippo had transformed on his sixth try into a normal looking boy with purple eyes. Jaken was doing well at staying in-between everyone while Kirara rode atop Sango's shoulder. Ah-Un had been instructed to follow them from above & land when they got to the well. Inuyasha had his ears laid uncomfortably flat on his head. "Are we almost there? My ears hurt." Kagome glared at him, he took a step back with a nervous glance around him. Kakashi turned his head a little to see Inuyasha. "Not far from here. Just a little further."
The well was located a short distance to the left of a rather large building that Kakashi explained was the ninja school. When they arrived Hikari glanced down the well. Bones of who knows what lined the bottom of the well as she peered inside. "Yep, this is the one." She turned & shook Kakashi's hand. "Thank you so much for getting us here. Here I want you all to have these." She dropped a small satchel of tiny music boxes into his hand. "There are enough for each of you. They each play the song 'Promise of Reunion'. I loved this song so much that I recorded it onto many, many buttons & gave them to all my friends. It's like a little reminder that we'll see each other again someday." She glanced back to the IY gang. She had yet to represent them with their buttons, she just needed the right time. "We gotta go now. Thanks & Goodbye!!!" Hikari turned to the well. Rin was on her back while Kirara sat atop her head. With a single bound she was inside the well again.
The cool feeling swept over her entire body. This time she kept her eyes open as she drifted through the well. He braid was swept backward as she was released into the air again. Her eyes roved over the ground only for her to realize that she wasn't home yet! "No, something's wrong!!!" She screamed as she plummeted downward with Rin screaming on her back.
Back at the top of the well everyone else was piling into the well after Hikari & Rin. Sango went down with Miroku & Kohaku. Inuyasha went down with Kagome, Shippo, & Jaken fell in after him. Sesshoumaru & Ah-Un were the last to go down the well. When they were gone the ninja's looked down the well to see where they had landed. When they peered in they were stunned to see that nothing was at the bottom of the well but bones. "Goodbye, strange travelers." Kakashi said as he pulled away with a smile. The universe was surely larger than he had ever expected.
Hikari plumed out her wings as she struggled to become airborne. Rin had stopped screaming as Hikari took off into the air. Kirara was taking a toll on her shoulder as he gripped it with his claws to stay steady. "Everyone OK?" Hikari asked as she sped off. She turned her head to see both passengers staring dead ahead, eyes small & stunned. "Hello? Earth to Rin. Kirara do you copy?" Rin pointed forward. "Watch out Hikari-sama!!!" Hikari turned her head to see a large yellow bulky plane zooming toward her. The passengers of the thing were pointing her out to its driver but it was too late for either to swerve. Hikari just had enough time to let her eyes go small as she whispered "Oh shit." To herself. Rin screamed again right in her ear but Hikari barely heard it. *Bam* Hikari's eyes closed as she rammed headfirst into the yellow plane. Rin & the inhabitants of the plane screamed as Hikari's body rolled over the windshield & over the roof. Kirara jumped off as Hikari's unconscious body fell to the ground with a screaming Rin clinging to her. Feathers flew from the wings as they plummeted through the sky. A fiery tornado swooped down by them as Kirara hurried to try to catch them. Kirara finally managed to get below them as Hikari & Rin fell on his back with a 'thump'. "Thank you Kirara." Rin gasped as she sat up on his back. Hikari had a red mark on her forehead from the place that she had hit but other than that they were OK. Rin gripped Kirara's fur as they descended toward the earth. His paws landed lightly on the ground as he landed & crouched down for Rin to get off with Hikari's heavy body. When they finally did get her down they tried to wake her up. Rin got on her knees & shouted with her hands cupped right into Hikari's ear. "HIKARIII-SAMAAA!!!! GET UP!!!" Rin sat back & waited. Suddenly without warning Hikari sat up & grabbed her head. "Yeow! I feel like I was hit by a bus!!!" She was yelling but her words were being drowned out by a weird droning sound. Kirara looked up at the sky & roared angrily at the yellow plane that was heading toward them again. Rin shrieked & ran behind Hikari who was also staring up at the thing. "It coming back Hikari-sama." She pointed to the large bulky plane that was coming toward them. Hikari nodded & stood. Rin backed behind her legs as Kirara roared again beside her.
As the yellow plane landed they could see more distinctly the people inside the plane. A short blue haired woman was driving the plane. Beside her sat another longer black haired woman. The people behind the driver & black haired woman were still hard to see but a frizzy black haired teenager was seen leaning over the driver's seat. Hikari stood stock still as the back of the plane opened to let the passengers out. Hikari noticed that her wings were still out but that no longer mattered. The people had surely seen them by now. They would probably want to know what she was but she was tired of telling people that. They would just have to guess they wouldn't get anything from her! Maybe they would be able to tell her where to find the well? Hopefully, she didn't want to search all over for it. She sighed & ruffled her hair as she watched the people pile out of the plane.
The first to come out were the blue haired pilot & the black haired woman. Next to come out were the black haired teenager & another shorter haired woman whose was also colored black. Behind them came a young girl with blue hair that looked like the pilot & a blonde haired girl. Hikari watched as a green skinned man walked out of the plane with a tall black haired man beside him. The black haired man was wearing a blue & orange outfit that greatly interested Hikari. Next to come out was a black haired boy that had long black hair down to his shoulders & looked like the other taller man. Beside him was a short Black haired man with a glare on his face & sharp eyes. After them came a purple haired young man with a coat that had logo's for 'capsule corp.' all over it. A tiny girl that was even younger than Rin came cheerfully out with a large man with horns on his head. Beside him were an extremely short man with black hair & a tall woman with short blonde hair. The final people to come out were another green skinned boy that was shorter than the other one, a pink skinned, white haired man. And two purple skinned men. One was very young looking & had a Mohawk of white hair. The other was extremely old looking & had no hair at all on his head. And the absolute final was an old man with a tortoise shell on his back & a large stick. His sunglasses shone in the sun as he walked out onto the ground beside all the others. Hikari's eyes roved over the people as she prepared to ask for directions. Now she understood why they needed such a huge plane.
(Author: If you cannot tell they are now in the world of Dragonball Z. My story takes place after they defeat Kid Buu & after the ten years later. You know when Goku flies away with Uub on his back. So, Uub isn't here yet, but he will be. I also had the Supreme Kai & Kibito get separated cause I like them better as being they're own person. That's about it,.yep I didn't change nothin' else. OH! Hercule & Buu with make an appearance! I almost forgot about Mr. Satan & Buu for a moment. Yep, that's all. Bye!)
Hikari sighed as she watched the people watch her. She was a little nervous in front of all these people. "Do you know where I can find this well?" Hikari asked pulling out a drawing of the well that she had made earlier with Sakura. (You know just in case she had to use it.) The blue haired woman strode towards her. Hikari felt rather than saw Kirara stiffen as she approached. "Kirara down." The big shaggy head turned her way as she spoke. She gave him a hard look & he transformed back to normal in a rush of fire. The blue haired woman stopped & straightened for a moment while the tiny cat ran up & perched himself on Hikari's shoulder. When Kirara was finally perched on her shoulder the woman continued to walk toward her. "You're looking for this well?" She asked taking the paper. Hikari nodded. "Do you know where I can find it?" The woman looked up at her for a moment before answering. "Are you Ok? I didn't hit you too hard did I?" Hikari straightened. "I'm fine. Felt worse." The woman's eyes grew big for a moment before returning to the picture. "No, I've never seen this well before." She turned around to the crowd of people that were watching them eagerly. "Hey, Goku! You know where she can find this thing?" The man in the orange & blue outfit walked over. Rin was clutching Hikari's pants firmly as she tried to hide further behind her legs while still being able to see.
Goku took the picture & looked it over. "Do bones line the bottom?" Hikari nodded. He looked back down at the picture. "There's one like this by my old house in the mountains." Hikari smiled. "Which way?" Goku pointed toward the mountains that were behind her. "Over there at the base of the mountains." Hikari turned to look, thus exposing a stunned Rin. The girl quickly ran back behind her. "Thank you. We gotta go." Hikari turned to pick up Rin. "Wait, who are you?" The blue haired woman grabbed her wrist. "I'm.Hikari, Hikari Oukami." "Who is she?" The woman indicated Rin. "Uh, this is Rin. Oh, & this is Kirara." Hikari pointed to the cat on her shoulder. The woman nodded. "I am Bulma. This is Goku. Can you tell me what's going on?" Hikari gave her a quizzical look. "I mean, you fell from out of nowhere, started flying on those wings, crashed into my plane, ride a giant flaming cat, & want to find a well? What are you?" Hikari stopped. "I can't tell you that. I just need to find this well. Everything else is not important." Hikari put one hand on Rin's shoulder, grasping her tightly they disappeared. Bulma gasped & jumped back. Goku went into a fighter stance & searched around. The rest of the group basically did the same. "What was that woman?" Came Vegeta's voice from amongst the crowd. "She wouldn't say. Just that she really needed to find some well." Bulma said as she checked the dragon radar for the pinpoint of where the girl was. "I did stick a tracker on her.but.WHAT?! Where is it? Did she find it?" Bulma searched the radar but found nothing. "She must have the tracers disappeared from the radar. "Hey Bulma try expanding the view!" Gohan called from the crowd. Bulma blushed furiously, & expanded the view to include the mountains. "Found her. They're heading for the mountains for sure." The people by the plane pilled back in. "HOLD IT!! Why don't you fly it'll be easier!" Bulma called. The people all froze. "But Bulma, what about you guys that can't fly?" Goku asked. Bulma glared at him. "I guess someone will have to carry us." Vegeta froze. He would have to carry her. Trunks took a sideways glance at his sister. He would probably be forced to carry Bra. Chi-Chi glared at Goku. Maren glanced at her mother. "All right I guess we'll fly." Vegeta said as he walked over to Bulma & scooped her up. And off they went following the radar signal.
Far ahead Hikari had not noticed the tiny radar on her wrist. She & Kirara were making good time as they flew through the air. She sighed as they neared the mountain range. "Kirara I think I see it over there!" Hikari pointed toward the base of the heavily forested mountain. They dove down as they spotted figures by the well. Hikari watched as they came upon Inuyasha, Kagome, & Shippo. Along with Myoga who was hard to see at any distance. "Ho down there!" Hikari called as they came in for a landing. When they landed Inuyasha grabbed her by the shoulders. "You just had to jump into the well first again didn't you? I bet it's your magic going through that's screwin' up the well." He released her. "Fine I'll let you go first this time. Besides what's eating you?" Kagome watched as the huffed up Inuyasha went & sat down by a tree. "Don't mind him. He just had to fight some big dinosaurs as soon as we got out of the well." Shippo indicated the bloody battlefield that was about ten yards away. "Dinosaurs?" Kagome nodded. "They were fighting in that field when we climbed out. Inuyasha took care of them though." Hikari looked over at the blood again. "Cool."
Miles away & getting closer the Z fighters were getting closer to what they thought was an alien invasion happening. Tien & Chaozu had joined them as they flew with a report of two flying things swooping over earlier. "Yeah one looked human with big feathered wings & the other was a giant flaming cat. There was a tiny girl on its back." Tien said as he swooped down by Goku. "Supreme Kai, is she any kind of alien you've heard of?" Goku asked turning to face the purple man. "No, none of them seem to be anything that I've heard of." Old Kai looked thoughtful. "I have heard of demon cats like those that have flaming paws & tails. The girl however I am not sure. The little one was definitely human.but the other.I'm not sure." He rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "There we're getting closer!" Bulma said with triumph as she narrowed the search down. "Hey, it's gone."
Hikari had been sitting on the well edge for some time before she noticed that something felt funny on her wrist. She scratched it irritably as she thought about how to find the others. "Hey isn't Jaken here?" She asked finally. Inuyasha swiveled an ear toward her. "Yeah he went for fire wood though. Eh? Hikari there's something on your wrist. Something's humming." Hikari looked closely at her wrist. "Sonnuvabitch!" She pulled off the tiny tracker & terminated it with her fingers. "That blue haired woman?" She thought as she dropped the remains on the ground. Inuyasha opened one eye. "Who?" "Some people I met when I was looking for you guys. She must have put that on me when we about to leave. I'm going to find Jaken." Hikari announced as she walked toward the forest. "He went this way right?" Inuyasha nodded. Hikari walked in thoughtfully. Before long she was running. Where was Jaken? "Jaken?! JAKEN?!" A reply of some kind was all she had to rely on. It sounded like 'over here!' but it could have been 'help!' She ran on hoping against hope that he was OK.
Goku landed on the ground about three yards from the well under thick forest. He watched as Hikari walked into the forest after talking to a man with white hair that she had called dog-demon? A girl with short black hair was playing with Rin & a tiny fox boy as she talked to her shoulder. "No, Hikari's going to find Jaken. She probably wants to find Sesshoumaru too." Everyone was stunned to hear a tiny voice answer back. "Aye, she does have a thing for him now doesn't she, Kagome?" The black haired girl nodded. "Kagome, do you have any of that stuff that's brown?" The little fox-boy asked. "Oh chocolate? Yeah I brought some Shippo." Kagome dug in her bag for the candy. "What would you like Rin?" The girl thought for a moment. "Lollipop." Kagome smiled & handed her a red sucker.
Hikari ran through the forest toward the cries. She arrived in a clearing filled with burnt grass & dinosaur parts. Jaken was at the middle his arms filled with wood & food. Hikari darted to the center with him. "Hey, you're late." She said plucking the smoldering staff of heads from his hand. "I could say the same for you." He grumped as a huge tyrannosaurus ran toward them snarling & drooling. "How do I work this?" Hikari nudged him with the staff. "You can't. Give it here." He stuck out his clawed hand. Hikari pushed the staff in front of her toward the dinosaur. "I guess I'll have to figure it out first hand." The flames tumbled forth from the open mouth of the old mans' face. Jaken stepped back as the reptile was swallowed up in flames. When it was all over Hikari wiped her forehead & smiled down at him. "How was that for a human?" He huffed & walked off toward the well. "Hey! Come on! I bet you can do better!" Hikari laughed as she ran after him & scooped him up in one arm. "Put me down!" Jaken demanded as Hikari set off at a run toward the well. "No way!" Hikari ran into the well clearing & sat Jaken down. "Give me the staff!" He demanded as Hikari walked toward the well. She turned & smiled at him. "Not until you tell me how bad I was at shooting off this thing." His mouth opened to say something but he closed it again with a snap. "I didn't see you do anything." He said indignantly crossing his arms as he dropped the collected junk. "Maybe you should see it again?" Hikari mused as she pointed the stick at a tree. Fire erupted from the mouth again & burnt the tree to the ground along with several others. "See? But I bet you can do better than that. You've had this for years." She handed the staff back to him as he grumbled something about 'kids these days.'
The Supreme Kai watched as the fire burnt the trees to the ground. "These forces seem stronger than we first thought Goku." He said as he turned to face the spike haired man. Old Kai walked up & peered through the bushes that they were hiding behind. "Indeed, we have yet to see what the others can do. Don't be so hasty to decide on strength sonny." He said over his shoulder to the Supreme Kai. Bulma sat at the other end of the bush watching the people carefully. "They keep mentioning this Sesshoumaru & other's. Maybe he's the leader bringing reinforcements?" She guessed as she stared at the dog-eared boy below. He train of thought was ended when something landed in the field.
"Hey Kirara! Oh, Ah-Un too!" Hikari hugged the two great beast's around the neck. Miroku, Sango, Myoga, & Kohaku got off as she hugged them too. "Sango, Kohaku your OK." She gave Myoga a tiny kiss that enveloped his entire body. Hikari totally forgot the rules of the road as she embraced Miroku. She stopped as a hand went over her butt. *Smack* "Do you have to do that every time Miroku?! And I was glad to see you too!" Miroku fell over anime style as Hikari landed a hand on his cheek. He sat back up smiling, a red hand mark on his face. "It was worth it Hikari-chan." *Wham* "Gods your sick!" Hikari stalked over by Inuyasha & jumped up into the tree. Kirara had changed back to his normal form now & was sniffing around. "Did Sango find Sesshoumaru-sama?" Rin asked as she picked up Kirara. Sango turned to her & shook her head. "Sorry Rin-chan, we didn't see him. But thanks for sending Kirara to us." Rin smiled as she headed to the tree that both Hikari & Inuyasha were sulking by. "Did Hikari-sama hear? No Sesshoumaru-sama yet but Rin thinks he's coming soon!" She smiled cheerfully up into the tree as Hikari dropped down by her. "Really? You think so? I sure hope your right Rin. I wanna get home."
In the bush The Z fighters gasped as they realized that this 'Sesshoumaru-sama' that these two girls seemed so hooked on was coming. "This is it guys. He's coming." Bulma breathed as she sat by the bush. They all stood in silence for some time while they waited to see what would happen next.
Ok, does everyone understand this? The Z fighters think that Hikari & the IY gang are aliens waiting for reinforcements from they're 'leader' Sesshoumaru. Of course the Supreme Kai is interested because he is in charge of the universe. Old Kai & Master Roshi, I basically added in for comic relief. I have no idea why I had everyone come though. At first it was going to be that all the woman & children except Bulma were going to be left behind with the plane but you know, I sorta forgot. ^_^ Anyway, they won't say much for a while so too bad. Reviews! G2G! Bye!

"So, Miss Hikari, where do you three come from?" Kakashi asked after they had made camp & a fire. Hikari looked across at him a little stunned, she didn't want to give too much away. "We live in a place that is much different from here." Hikari said simply trying to avoid his real meaning. "I mean 'where'." Kakashi said a little more forcefully. Hikari was worried, he wanted to know, but she couldn't tell everybody from where or what she was. "I live in a house in Tokyo. Rin lives with her family at the shrine, & Shippo lives in the forest by the shrine." Naruto was behind her again. He had supposedly gone for firewood but was instead sneaking around in the bush, ready to jump her. She turned her head a little as she noticed a hand sneaking to grab her sword. She turned completely & grabbed Naruto's hand. She swiftly adjusted her grip & flung Naruto onto his back in front of her. "Don't you trust me? Really with all these kids around I wouldn't attack anyone here. Plus I ain't got nothin' against you guys so stop trying to take my weapons!" Naruto stared vaguely up at her as she released his arm & sat back down. Sasuke was looking down on him with a smug look on his face. "Where did you learn to fight?! Your grip is like a vice!" Hikari smiled at him as he rolled over onto his stomach & picked himself up. "A friend of mine taught me." Naruto gave her a puzzled look. "Does this guy live on the other side of the well with you?" "I bet he's your boyfriend!" Sakura popped in with a knowing smile. Hikari looked startled. "Actually he does live in my house but he isn't my boyfriend." "Husband then?" Sakura asked before Naruto could utter another word. "No, he's just a friend. A family friend, I've known him since I was little." Hikari watched their faces as she tried to explain without giving Hikaru away. "What's his name?" Kakashi asked. Hikari slid a glance at Sasuke who had not said a word to her yet. "His name is Hikaru." Rin was smiling at her like she was about to tell what she thought of her fluffy companion. 'Rin don't tell them what Hikaru is.' Rin heard the voice but didn't believe it. She was hearing Hikari in her head! She glanced around then at Hikari confusedly. 'I don't want them to know what he is quite yet.' Hikari said in her head. Rin looked over & nodded at her. Good, she understands. Hikari thought quietly. "So what does he look like?" Sakura asked, face in hands & elbows on knees leaning toward her. "He has long white hair, & yellow eyes." Rin put her hands up to her head as a sign of ears wagging back & forth. Then moved them down to her but to show a long tail. Hikari pretended not to notice because Kakashi was watching & listening to her very closely with a weird look in his eye. "Is he cute?" Hikari thought that over. "Yeah, he is." "If you've known him since you were born how old is this 'cute' guy?" Sasuke asked with his fingers laced together & his mouth behind them. He had the same bored look that Sesshoumaru had when he was thinking or fighting, now that Hikari had an excuse to look at him closely. "I-I don't know exactly. He's much older than me though." Hikari said as she turned her gaze to the ground wondering if her friend was all right. "So, is he a part of your family?" "He's just a family friend, but he does seem like family." She was speaking absently now; mind focused fully on the dog- demons that she knew. Sesshoumaru, Hikaru, Inuyasha, they all were gone again. She had to find them & get back home! "Hello! Anybody home?!" Naruto asked tapping her on the head. She flinched as her eyes focused on the group around her. "Sorry, memories." Hikari said in an apologetic tone. "Did someone ask me a question?" "Yeah, Sasuke wanted to know 'why does he stay with you if he isn't family or husband?'" Sakura repeated as Naruto sat back down by the silent Kakashi. "I.he's.my guardian. Where I come from I'm too young to stay by myself so he takes care of me." Hikari noticed that she had just let slip that she was alone in her house, without parents or siblings! Maybe they didn't notice! Hikari thought franticly of how she was going to explain. "So, you live alone? Where are your parents? Don't you have any brothers or sisters, or even aunts or uncles?" Sakura asked. Hikari cast her head downward again. "I never had Grandparents, aunts or uncles. I did have a mother & father & brother's & a sister, but.they all died some time ago." Rin's head was down too, remembering her family, along with Shippo. Everyone around the campfire straightened up. Naruto looked up at the moon thinking of days spent alone watching families out his window. Sasuke on the log had leaned his forehead against his hands & stared at the ground. Kakashi stared hard at her, while Sakura looked embarrassed for asking the question. "I-I'm sorry. How did they die? If you wanna talk about it." Sakura looked at Hikari as she lifted her head & sighed. "When I was little we moved to a different house but my family made a point of every year going back to the city we used to live in. One year I decided not to go & stayed at home with Hikaru. There are things in my time called 'cars' that are like umm.this." Hikari drew out the picture in the dirt. "People ride in them to get from place to place. It's easier then walking far distances. Anyway they were driving one night & they crashed. I got the news that they had died a few hours later. Ever since I've stayed with Hikari." Kakashi was still staring. Naruto looked at him for a moment before he followed what he was looking at. Naruto gasped & pointed a shaky finger at Hikari who gave him a quizzical look. His eyes had gone small as he stared at her shocked. "On y-your b-b-back." Was all he said, but it caught the attention of the rest of the ninja's. Hikari froze. The moon!! Hikari cursed under her breath. "Hai, they are wings. I cannot tell you everything though. Not until all my friends are with me. I will tell you the truth about what you have learned so far. I am Kayla Lorenz, better known as Hikari Oukami. I had an older brother & a younger brother & sister, along with a mom & dad. They all did die in a car wreck in the country that I used to live in. I now live with my dog-demon friend Hikaru who plays the part of my dog by the same name. Rin & Shippo are really from the time of the Sengoku Jidaii. The time that the well is really supposed to drop us off in, but Naraku cast a spell on it & now we need to get back to our time to fix this problem & kill the bastard. Shippo is a Kitsune pup. Our friends include: Kagome the semi-miko, Inuyasha the hanyou, Miroku the lecherous monk, Sango the demon slayer, her brother Kohaku the demon slayer, Kirara the something or other, Sesshoumaru the taiyoukai, Jaken the toad demon, Ah-Un the two headed dragon, Myoga the flea, possibly Koga the demon wolf, possibly the miko Kikyo. I guess you think this is pretty weird huh? Well, I'm about to make it weirder. I am a pure blooded descendent of the White Dragon Clan. We WDC members are super-human people that have wings & powers. We are known as the WDC for the white dragon wings that appear when we are in 'True Form'. Until we shift into that mode we have white feather covered wings." Hikari was rubbing her forehead just thinking about all this. "Sorry that I had to lie but I wasn't sure who I should tell about my.uh.abilities & friends." Kakashi smiled at her. "I thought there was something strange about you." Hikari smiled & laughed. "Believe me, MUCH stranger than you think." Hikari was laughing for quite sometime before they all decided to go to sleep. When they finally did Rin was asleep on Hikari. The tiny girl was leaning against her as they both fell asleep lying down on the fallen tree log. Shippo was curled up on Hikari's stomach as she slept. (Author: This is a particularly large tree. Think of Red Wood trees big! The trees in this forest are that big.) Rin was beside her snuggled close to her body as they stared at the stars before sleep took them.
The next morning they packed up & were on their way before even the birds were singing. The sky was perfectly blue with only a few white clouds dotting the sky. Rin was still half-asleep as she trudged down the road clutching Hikari's hand for support & guidance. Shippo was curled up on her head sleeping still as they walked. Naruto seemed extremely interested in the little demon now that he knew what he was. He stared at the strange ball of fluff that was atop Hikari's head like a hat. "So, in human years he's an adult. But by Kitsune years he's still a kid? Is that his only tail?" Naruto asked as he stared at Hikari who was trying to walk as erect as possible. "Yes, & yes. He'll gain more tails the longer that he's alive & the more powerful he becomes." Naruto nodded as he turned his attention forward again.
Sakura was much friendlier with Hikari now. Something that Hikari thought was funny. "So you're from the future huh? What's it like? Are you a ninja or a samurai?" Hikari smiled at her. "Yes, but not your future. It's Ok, there's some cool stuff but nothing like here. No, I'm not a ninja or a samurai, but that would be cool if I was. You are though aren't you?" Sakura smiled & nodded.
Sasuke had been silent ever since Hikari had spoken of her family the night before. He glanced her way several times but never spoke. Hikari was puzzled by his silence & bored expression but was used to it by now & didn't mention it. She wondered what had happened that he no longer wished to talk to her. She shrugged & kept on.
Kakashi watched as a blue & brown dot headed toward them. Stopping in the dirt road he stared up at it. The parade behind him stopped also & stared up at the sky too. Hikari followed the dot until it was bigger & easier to recognize. Hikari gasped as Rin & Shippo recognized the figure too. "Ah-Un?!" Hikari shot down the road to meet the roaring two-headed dragon. Kakashi watched as the beast soared down to her & met her on the road. Rin & Shippo bounded after her as the dragon landed. "Ah-Un came without Sesshoumaru-sama!" Rin said as she approached. Hikari was un- strapping her stuff from the dragon as the girl spoke. The ninja's stared at the girls that were happily greeting what looked to them like a horrible monster. "A-are you sure that thing is safe?" Sakura asked from behind master Kakashi. Hikari lifted the bike off of the Ah-Un's back. "Of course he is. He's really very sweet." Rin hugged the two-headed dragon's torso happily. "Yo, Ah-Un." The dragon turned his heads from licking Rin's face so that he could see Hikari clearly. "Did you manage to see anyone else while you were looking for us? Like Inuyasha or Sesshoumaru?" The dragon shook his heads as he pricked his ears forward. "No one? Not even Kirara?" The dragon stopped & cocked his heads toward his tails. Hikari gave him a puzzled look. "What?" Ah-Un repeated the motion. Taking the hint Hikari glanced at his tails.
Asleep on one of the ridges was Kirara, with a black speck on his torso. Hikari gasped. "Kirara & Old man Myoga!!" She gave Ah-Un a kiss on his noses before going to pick up & cuddle Kirara. "Way past cool! We got a faster way to transport & friend finders!" Kirara woke with a start, shaking off Myoga carelessly. "Hikari?" Myoga yawned as he woke up on her arm. Hikari looked toward him & smiled. Kirara loosed himself from her grip & climbed up on her head & lay back down. "Must be comfortable up there." She mused as Kirara settled himself. "Say Myoga did you see Inuyasha?" Shippo asked from the ground. "If I did I would have brought him with me." Myoga said a little half-heartedly.
A stern cough issued from among the ninja's. Hikari looked back & realized that she had forgotten to introduce her friends. "Oh, Myoga, Kirara, Ah-Un, these are some friends of ours. Meet Kakashi, Naruto, Sakura, & Sasuke. They live in the town where the well is. Everyone meet Myoga, Kirara, & Ah-Un. My friends from the Sengoku Jidaii that I told you about." The ninja's stared at her a little perplexed. "Uh, what's the matter?" "We can see Ah-Un, & Kirara, but who & where is Myoga?" Naruto asked pointing toward the animals. "And why are you talking to your arm?" He added. "Oh, this is Myoga." Myoga bounced onto her outstretched palm. "He's a demon flea." Everyone squinted to see the tiny flea demon on Hikari's palm, which was bowing. "Ah-Un you wouldn't mind a few passengers would you?" The dragon shook his heads. "What about you Kirara? Can you guys carry us to the city?" The tiny cat youkai jumped down to the ground & transformed in a flurry of fire. Ah-Un put down one shoulder for boarding. " I take that as a 'yes'." Hikari said with a smile as she started to strap her stuff onto Kirara instead of Ah-Un.
The villagers of Konohagakura village stood rooted to the spot. Their eyes looking as if they were going to pop out of their heads, as they watched the tiny kitty transform into Godzilla with fur. "Hey, what ya waitin' for? Hop on!" Hikari motioned them to sit on Kirara as she prepared for flight herself. Rin & Shippo were already seated on Ah-Un & Kirara along with Myoga. After a short interval that seemed to take forever, master Kakashi stepped forward & mounted Ah-Un with Rin. Sasuke was the next to mount the two-headed dragon with Naruto close behind. Sakura reluctantly dragged herself to Kirara & mounted him. She took the chance to do something that she wanted to do for some time. Grabbing Shippo's tail she hugged him to her & yelled: "Kawaii! Cute!" Shippo aloud himself to be hugged for sometime before he jumped back onto Kirara's head. "Let's go Kirara!" The great cat demon launched forth from the ground with a roar. Sakura gasped & held tight to Kirara's neck for protection. Shippo looked down at her from his perch & smiled. "You'll get used to it." He said with a knowing look her way.
Still on the ground the boy's & remaining girls watched Kirara soar through the air. Hikari smiled & bent her knees for launch. "Ready Rin- chan?" Rin smiled & nodded. "Hai, Hikari-sama!" Before the boys were even warned Ah-Un took off with a feathery Hikari up ahead. Naruto almost fell backward when he saw Hikari gliding through the air on her feathery wings. Sasuke was also watching the flying girl with interest finally showing in his face. They both leaned over to see if Kakashi was also watching her. He was! They watched as his eyes moved with every beat of her wings. 'Obviously looking for her weak point.' Naruto thought as he to watched her. Sasuke ripped his gaze from her & instead watched a swirley pinkish red cloud loom nearer. "Master Kakashi, over there." Sasuke pointed to the cloud that held the shape of three people on it, coming closer. "Hikari we've got some followers!" Shippo announced at almost the same time. Hikari turned her head from the forest below to the cloud that was getting closer. Her eyes went big & dewy as she gasped again & took off in the direction of the cloud. "Sesshoumaru!!!!" She cried as she extended her arms & beat her wings harder. Sesshoumaru caught sight of her just in time to steady himself on the cloud as she barreled into him. "And Jaken's here too, & hey Kohaku!" Hikari gave them all huge hugs as she straightened up on the big cloud. "We found where the well is here! Where's Inuyasha & the other's?" Hikari turned her head from side to side then looked below. The rest were nowhere to be seen & Kohaku was staring at the cloud ground with sad eyes. "We don't know where my sister & the other's are. Sesshoumaru caught the scent of Inuyasha that way but it's not strong so we came to you instead." Kohaku pointed in the direction that Hikari's party had come from. "Hey, I bet Inuyasha will pick up my scent & come here at top speed don't worry. Besides your sisters real strong, she won't get hurt." Hikari put a reassuring hand on Kohaku's shoulder, he gave her a sad smile & perked up a little.
They had been flying for some time before Hikari noticed that something was following them. She looked behind her but saw nothing but the mountains that had always been there. Sesshoumaru must have felt it too for he also was looking back at the mountain range. "You feel it too Sesshoumaru?" He nodded vaguely, the bored expression plastered on his face. "I smell Inuyasha, not far behind. There is another smell coming from the west that seems to be the two humans that he also travels with. The two humans seem to be making slow progress. Maybe we should send Kirara back to them?" He turned the bored look back on Hikari who turned to face Sakura. "Sakura you wouldn't mind flying on Ah-Un for a short time would ya?" Sakura nodded as she stood up & grabbed a hold of Hikari's outstretched arm. Swooping her wings correctly Hikari was able to drop Sakura on the very back of Ah-Un. "Shippo. You, Myoga, & Kirara go back for Sango & Miroku. Inuyasha & Kagome should be here by the time you get back." Shippo nodded as Kirara glided off in a westerly direction. Hikari waved to them as they disappeared from sight.
Sesshoumaru was right in his thought that Inuyasha was coming. Not long after Shippo & the others had left a red dot was seen bounding along the trail below. Hikari swooped down beside him & told him what was happening & introduced him to the Konohagakura ninja's. Kagome was glad to hear that everyone was OK & told Hikari what had happened after she had jumped through the well with Rin & Shippo. "When we went in we were deposited right on the ground. I wonder why you fell?" Kagome was as perplexed as Hikari about the fact that Rin, Shippo, & she had almost fallen to their deaths.
About a half-hour later they could see both the city & Kirara closing in with his passengers aboard & waving. "Sango! Miroku! Welcome back!" The two passengers exchanged greetings with everyone as they neared the city gates. Kakashi eyed the now reformed group of odd travelers that were going to jump down a well to get home. "Are you sure that the well will work?" He asked as they bore down to the ground. Hikari turned around completely. "If it doesn't we'll end up with some sore muscles." She smiled as she turned back to the business of trying not to fall face-first into the dirt.
As they disembarked Kirara changed back into his kitty form & crawled up onto Kohaku's shoulder. (After Hikari had removed her things.) Then tried to decide how they were going to go into the city without attracting a lot of attention. "Ah-Un will definitely attract the attention of every living being in the city." Naruto pointed out. Kakashi nodded. "Shippo, you can take the form of a human boy right?" Shippo nodded at Kagome's question. "I can change into just about everything." He puffed out his chest proudly. "Inuyasha, those ears have got to lay flat." Kagome had changed her attention to the fuming hanyou. "This is so damn stupid! Who cares if they what we are?! As long as they don't destroy the fuckin' well!!" Both Hikari & Kagome glared at him. He noticed what he had just said & took a step back. "Inuyasha." He gulped as he took another step backward. "SIT BOY!" The necklace glowed as his body was pulled to the ground forcefully by the beads. The ninja's watched in horror as they witnessed the event. Sesshoumaru raised an eyebrow. The other ignored it, they had seen it too often to care any longer. "Now, Jaken, you just stay between everyone while we're walking. You're so short that people hopefully won't notice you between our legs." Hikari had resumed giving out instructions now that Inuyasha had been disciplined.
When they were finally walking through the city to the well Inuyasha had gained the wounds from three more 'sit' attacks & Miroku had a more hand marks on his face than ever thought possible. Shippo had transformed on his sixth try into a normal looking boy with purple eyes. Jaken was doing well at staying in-between everyone while Kirara rode atop Sango's shoulder. Ah-Un had been instructed to follow them from above & land when they got to the well. Inuyasha had his ears laid uncomfortably flat on his head. "Are we almost there? My ears hurt." Kagome glared at him, he took a step back with a nervous glance around him. Kakashi turned his head a little to see Inuyasha. "Not far from here. Just a little further."
The well was located a short distance to the left of a rather large building that Kakashi explained was the ninja school. When they arrived Hikari glanced down the well. Bones of who knows what lined the bottom of the well as she peered inside. "Yep, this is the one." She turned & shook Kakashi's hand. "Thank you so much for getting us here. Here I want you all to have these." She dropped a small satchel of tiny music boxes into his hand. "There are enough for each of you. They each play the song 'Promise of Reunion'. I loved this song so much that I recorded it onto many, many buttons & gave them to all my friends. It's like a little reminder that we'll see each other again someday." She glanced back to the IY gang. She had yet to represent them with their buttons, she just needed the right time. "We gotta go now. Thanks & Goodbye!!!" Hikari turned to the well. Rin was on her back while Kirara sat atop her head. With a single bound she was inside the well again.
The cool feeling swept over her entire body. This time she kept her eyes open as she drifted through the well. He braid was swept backward as she was released into the air again. Her eyes roved over the ground only for her to realize that she wasn't home yet! "No, something's wrong!!!" She screamed as she plummeted downward with Rin screaming on her back.
Back at the top of the well everyone else was piling into the well after Hikari & Rin. Sango went down with Miroku & Kohaku. Inuyasha went down with Kagome, Shippo, & Jaken fell in after him. Sesshoumaru & Ah-Un were the last to go down the well. When they were gone the ninja's looked down the well to see where they had landed. When they peered in they were stunned to see that nothing was at the bottom of the well but bones. "Goodbye, strange travelers." Kakashi said as he pulled away with a smile. The universe was surely larger than he had ever expected.
Hikari plumed out her wings as she struggled to become airborne. Rin had stopped screaming as Hikari took off into the air. Kirara was taking a toll on her shoulder as he gripped it with his claws to stay steady. "Everyone OK?" Hikari asked as she sped off. She turned her head to see both passengers staring dead ahead, eyes small & stunned. "Hello? Earth to Rin. Kirara do you copy?" Rin pointed forward. "Watch out Hikari-sama!!!" Hikari turned her head to see a large yellow bulky plane zooming toward her. The passengers of the thing were pointing her out to its driver but it was too late for either to swerve. Hikari just had enough time to let her eyes go small as she whispered "Oh shit." To herself. Rin screamed again right in her ear but Hikari barely heard it. *Bam* Hikari's eyes closed as she rammed headfirst into the yellow plane. Rin & the inhabitants of the plane screamed as Hikari's body rolled over the windshield & over the roof. Kirara jumped off as Hikari's unconscious body fell to the ground with a screaming Rin clinging to her. Feathers flew from the wings as they plummeted through the sky. A fiery tornado swooped down by them as Kirara hurried to try to catch them. Kirara finally managed to get below them as Hikari & Rin fell on his back with a 'thump'. "Thank you Kirara." Rin gasped as she sat up on his back. Hikari had a red mark on her forehead from the place that she had hit but other than that they were OK. Rin gripped Kirara's fur as they descended toward the earth. His paws landed lightly on the ground as he landed & crouched down for Rin to get off with Hikari's heavy body. When they finally did get her down they tried to wake her up. Rin got on her knees & shouted with her hands cupped right into Hikari's ear. "HIKARIII-SAMAAA!!!! GET UP!!!" Rin sat back & waited. Suddenly without warning Hikari sat up & grabbed her head. "Yeow! I feel like I was hit by a bus!!!" She was yelling but her words were being drowned out by a weird droning sound. Kirara looked up at the sky & roared angrily at the yellow plane that was heading toward them again. Rin shrieked & ran behind Hikari who was also staring up at the thing. "It coming back Hikari-sama." She pointed to the large bulky plane that was coming toward them. Hikari nodded & stood. Rin backed behind her legs as Kirara roared again beside her.
As the yellow plane landed they could see more distinctly the people inside the plane. A short blue haired woman was driving the plane. Beside her sat another longer black haired woman. The people behind the driver & black haired woman were still hard to see but a frizzy black haired teenager was seen leaning over the driver's seat. Hikari stood stock still as the back of the plane opened to let the passengers out. Hikari noticed that her wings were still out but that no longer mattered. The people had surely seen them by now. They would probably want to know what she was but she was tired of telling people that. They would just have to guess they wouldn't get anything from her! Maybe they would be able to tell her where to find the well? Hopefully, she didn't want to search all over for it. She sighed & ruffled her hair as she watched the people pile out of the plane.
The first to come out were the blue haired pilot & the black haired woman. Next to come out were the black haired teenager & another shorter haired woman whose was also colored black. Behind them came a young girl with blue hair that looked like the pilot & a blonde haired girl. Hikari watched as a green skinned man walked out of the plane with a tall black haired man beside him. The black haired man was wearing a blue & orange outfit that greatly interested Hikari. Next to come out was a black haired boy that had long black hair down to his shoulders & looked like the other taller man. Beside him was a short Black haired man with a glare on his face & sharp eyes. After them came a purple haired young man with a coat that had logo's for 'capsule corp.' all over it. A tiny girl that was even younger than Rin came cheerfully out with a large man with horns on his head. Beside him were an extremely short man with black hair & a tall woman with short blonde hair. The final people to come out were another green skinned boy that was shorter than the other one, a pink skinned, white haired man. And two purple skinned men. One was very young looking & had a Mohawk of white hair. The other was extremely old looking & had no hair at all on his head. And the absolute final was an old man with a tortoise shell on his back & a large stick. His sunglasses shone in the sun as he walked out onto the ground beside all the others. Hikari's eyes roved over the people as she prepared to ask for directions. Now she understood why they needed such a huge plane.
(Author: If you cannot tell they are now in the world of Dragonball Z. My story takes place after they defeat Kid Buu & after the ten years later. You know when Goku flies away with Uub on his back. So, Uub isn't here yet, but he will be. I also had the Supreme Kai & Kibito get separated cause I like them better as being they're own person. That's about it,.yep I didn't change nothin' else. OH! Hercule & Buu with make an appearance! I almost forgot about Mr. Satan & Buu for a moment. Yep, that's all. Bye!)
Hikari sighed as she watched the people watch her. She was a little nervous in front of all these people. "Do you know where I can find this well?" Hikari asked pulling out a drawing of the well that she had made earlier with Sakura. (You know just in case she had to use it.) The blue haired woman strode towards her. Hikari felt rather than saw Kirara stiffen as she approached. "Kirara down." The big shaggy head turned her way as she spoke. She gave him a hard look & he transformed back to normal in a rush of fire. The blue haired woman stopped & straightened for a moment while the tiny cat ran up & perched himself on Hikari's shoulder. When Kirara was finally perched on her shoulder the woman continued to walk toward her. "You're looking for this well?" She asked taking the paper. Hikari nodded. "Do you know where I can find it?" The woman looked up at her for a moment before answering. "Are you Ok? I didn't hit you too hard did I?" Hikari straightened. "I'm fine. Felt worse." The woman's eyes grew big for a moment before returning to the picture. "No, I've never seen this well before." She turned around to the crowd of people that were watching them eagerly. "Hey, Goku! You know where she can find this thing?" The man in the orange & blue outfit walked over. Rin was clutching Hikari's pants firmly as she tried to hide further behind her legs while still being able to see.
Goku took the picture & looked it over. "Do bones line the bottom?" Hikari nodded. He looked back down at the picture. "There's one like this by my old house in the mountains." Hikari smiled. "Which way?" Goku pointed toward the mountains that were behind her. "Over there at the base of the mountains." Hikari turned to look, thus exposing a stunned Rin. The girl quickly ran back behind her. "Thank you. We gotta go." Hikari turned to pick up Rin. "Wait, who are you?" The blue haired woman grabbed her wrist. "I'm.Hikari, Hikari Oukami." "Who is she?" The woman indicated Rin. "Uh, this is Rin. Oh, & this is Kirara." Hikari pointed to the cat on her shoulder. The woman nodded. "I am Bulma. This is Goku. Can you tell me what's going on?" Hikari gave her a quizzical look. "I mean, you fell from out of nowhere, started flying on those wings, crashed into my plane, ride a giant flaming cat, & want to find a well? What are you?" Hikari stopped. "I can't tell you that. I just need to find this well. Everything else is not important." Hikari put one hand on Rin's shoulder, grasping her tightly they disappeared. Bulma gasped & jumped back. Goku went into a fighter stance & searched around. The rest of the group basically did the same. "What was that woman?" Came Vegeta's voice from amongst the crowd. "She wouldn't say. Just that she really needed to find some well." Bulma said as she checked the dragon radar for the pinpoint of where the girl was. "I did stick a tracker on her.but.WHAT?! Where is it? Did she find it?" Bulma searched the radar but found nothing. "She must have the tracers disappeared from the radar. "Hey Bulma try expanding the view!" Gohan called from the crowd. Bulma blushed furiously, & expanded the view to include the mountains. "Found her. They're heading for the mountains for sure." The people by the plane pilled back in. "HOLD IT!! Why don't you fly it'll be easier!" Bulma called. The people all froze. "But Bulma, what about you guys that can't fly?" Goku asked. Bulma glared at him. "I guess someone will have to carry us." Vegeta froze. He would have to carry her. Trunks took a sideways glance at his sister. He would probably be forced to carry Bra. Chi-Chi glared at Goku. Maren glanced at her mother. "All right I guess we'll fly." Vegeta said as he walked over to Bulma & scooped her up. And off they went following the radar signal.
Far ahead Hikari had not noticed the tiny radar on her wrist. She & Kirara were making good time as they flew through the air. She sighed as they neared the mountain range. "Kirara I think I see it over there!" Hikari pointed toward the base of the heavily forested mountain. They dove down as they spotted figures by the well. Hikari watched as they came upon Inuyasha, Kagome, & Shippo. Along with Myoga who was hard to see at any distance. "Ho down there!" Hikari called as they came in for a landing. When they landed Inuyasha grabbed her by the shoulders. "You just had to jump into the well first again didn't you? I bet it's your magic going through that's screwin' up the well." He released her. "Fine I'll let you go first this time. Besides what's eating you?" Kagome watched as the huffed up Inuyasha went & sat down by a tree. "Don't mind him. He just had to fight some big dinosaurs as soon as we got out of the well." Shippo indicated the bloody battlefield that was about ten yards away. "Dinosaurs?" Kagome nodded. "They were fighting in that field when we climbed out. Inuyasha took care of them though." Hikari looked over at the blood again. "Cool."
Miles away & getting closer the Z fighters were getting closer to what they thought was an alien invasion happening. Tien & Chaozu had joined them as they flew with a report of two flying things swooping over earlier. "Yeah one looked human with big feathered wings & the other was a giant flaming cat. There was a tiny girl on its back." Tien said as he swooped down by Goku. "Supreme Kai, is she any kind of alien you've heard of?" Goku asked turning to face the purple man. "No, none of them seem to be anything that I've heard of." Old Kai looked thoughtful. "I have heard of demon cats like those that have flaming paws & tails. The girl however I am not sure. The little one was definitely human.but the other.I'm not sure." He rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "There we're getting closer!" Bulma said with triumph as she narrowed the search down. "Hey, it's gone."
Hikari had been sitting on the well edge for some time before she noticed that something felt funny on her wrist. She scratched it irritably as she thought about how to find the others. "Hey isn't Jaken here?" She asked finally. Inuyasha swiveled an ear toward her. "Yeah he went for fire wood though. Eh? Hikari there's something on your wrist. Something's humming." Hikari looked closely at her wrist. "Sonnuvabitch!" She pulled off the tiny tracker & terminated it with her fingers. "That blue haired woman?" She thought as she dropped the remains on the ground. Inuyasha opened one eye. "Who?" "Some people I met when I was looking for you guys. She must have put that on me when we about to leave. I'm going to find Jaken." Hikari announced as she walked toward the forest. "He went this way right?" Inuyasha nodded. Hikari walked in thoughtfully. Before long she was running. Where was Jaken? "Jaken?! JAKEN?!" A reply of some kind was all she had to rely on. It sounded like 'over here!' but it could have been 'help!' She ran on hoping against hope that he was OK.
Goku landed on the ground about three yards from the well under thick forest. He watched as Hikari walked into the forest after talking to a man with white hair that she had called dog-demon? A girl with short black hair was playing with Rin & a tiny fox boy as she talked to her shoulder. "No, Hikari's going to find Jaken. She probably wants to find Sesshoumaru too." Everyone was stunned to hear a tiny voice answer back. "Aye, she does have a thing for him now doesn't she, Kagome?" The black haired girl nodded. "Kagome, do you have any of that stuff that's brown?" The little fox-boy asked. "Oh chocolate? Yeah I brought some Shippo." Kagome dug in her bag for the candy. "What would you like Rin?" The girl thought for a moment. "Lollipop." Kagome smiled & handed her a red sucker.
Hikari ran through the forest toward the cries. She arrived in a clearing filled with burnt grass & dinosaur parts. Jaken was at the middle his arms filled with wood & food. Hikari darted to the center with him. "Hey, you're late." She said plucking the smoldering staff of heads from his hand. "I could say the same for you." He grumped as a huge tyrannosaurus ran toward them snarling & drooling. "How do I work this?" Hikari nudged him with the staff. "You can't. Give it here." He stuck out his clawed hand. Hikari pushed the staff in front of her toward the dinosaur. "I guess I'll have to figure it out first hand." The flames tumbled forth from the open mouth of the old mans' face. Jaken stepped back as the reptile was swallowed up in flames. When it was all over Hikari wiped her forehead & smiled down at him. "How was that for a human?" He huffed & walked off toward the well. "Hey! Come on! I bet you can do better!" Hikari laughed as she ran after him & scooped him up in one arm. "Put me down!" Jaken demanded as Hikari set off at a run toward the well. "No way!" Hikari ran into the well clearing & sat Jaken down. "Give me the staff!" He demanded as Hikari walked toward the well. She turned & smiled at him. "Not until you tell me how bad I was at shooting off this thing." His mouth opened to say something but he closed it again with a snap. "I didn't see you do anything." He said indignantly crossing his arms as he dropped the collected junk. "Maybe you should see it again?" Hikari mused as she pointed the stick at a tree. Fire erupted from the mouth again & burnt the tree to the ground along with several others. "See? But I bet you can do better than that. You've had this for years." She handed the staff back to him as he grumbled something about 'kids these days.'
The Supreme Kai watched as the fire burnt the trees to the ground. "These forces seem stronger than we first thought Goku." He said as he turned to face the spike haired man. Old Kai walked up & peered through the bushes that they were hiding behind. "Indeed, we have yet to see what the others can do. Don't be so hasty to decide on strength sonny." He said over his shoulder to the Supreme Kai. Bulma sat at the other end of the bush watching the people carefully. "They keep mentioning this Sesshoumaru & other's. Maybe he's the leader bringing reinforcements?" She guessed as she stared at the dog-eared boy below. He train of thought was ended when something landed in the field.
"Hey Kirara! Oh, Ah-Un too!" Hikari hugged the two great beast's around the neck. Miroku, Sango, Myoga, & Kohaku got off as she hugged them too. "Sango, Kohaku your OK." She gave Myoga a tiny kiss that enveloped his entire body. Hikari totally forgot the rules of the road as she embraced Miroku. She stopped as a hand went over her butt. *Smack* "Do you have to do that every time Miroku?! And I was glad to see you too!" Miroku fell over anime style as Hikari landed a hand on his cheek. He sat back up smiling, a red hand mark on his face. "It was worth it Hikari-chan." *Wham* "Gods your sick!" Hikari stalked over by Inuyasha & jumped up into the tree. Kirara had changed back to his normal form now & was sniffing around. "Did Sango find Sesshoumaru-sama?" Rin asked as she picked up Kirara. Sango turned to her & shook her head. "Sorry Rin-chan, we didn't see him. But thanks for sending Kirara to us." Rin smiled as she headed to the tree that both Hikari & Inuyasha were sulking by. "Did Hikari-sama hear? No Sesshoumaru-sama yet but Rin thinks he's coming soon!" She smiled cheerfully up into the tree as Hikari dropped down by her. "Really? You think so? I sure hope your right Rin. I wanna get home."
In the bush The Z fighters gasped as they realized that this 'Sesshoumaru-sama' that these two girls seemed so hooked on was coming. "This is it guys. He's coming." Bulma breathed as she sat by the bush. They all stood in silence for some time while they waited to see what would happen next.
Ok, does everyone understand this? The Z fighters think that Hikari & the IY gang are aliens waiting for reinforcements from they're 'leader' Sesshoumaru. Of course the Supreme Kai is interested because he is in charge of the universe. Old Kai & Master Roshi, I basically added in for comic relief. I have no idea why I had everyone come though. At first it was going to be that all the woman & children except Bulma were going to be left behind with the plane but you know, I sorta forgot. ^_^ Anyway, they won't say much for a while so too bad. Reviews! G2G! Bye!
