Disclaimer: I don't own Slayers (though I wish I did) or InuYasha (which, yet again, I wish I did)

Cam: This is a product of me when I'm on a sugar high. You have been warned. Anyway, Lina finds a new spell book to add to her collection, and decides to try out a few spells. But of course, something goes wrong. Lina can never get a break, can she? She ends up sucking me into her world (much to my delight), as well as a certain dog-eared demon named InuYasha and two of his friends. How are they gonna get back? I haven't decided yet. Please review ^_^

Fireballs, Demons, and an Otaku

Chapter 1: The Book

******************************

"How much for this?" Lina asked the man at the cart.

"Oh...how about 50 silver pieces?" he replied.

"Great!" Lina said, digging through her pockets for the money. "Hehehe...and to think, most other spell books go for 100." Lina thought to herself, smiling at the thought of the money she saved. "Here you go! 50 silver pieces!"

Lina grabbed the book, and immediately started reading it.

"Hohoho, anxious young man, aren't you?" said the cart owner.

Lina shot him a death glare, "Young...MAN!?" Lina snarled, preparing to let loose a fireball.

The man squinted, "Oh, I'm terribly sorry. My glasses are being repaired, you see. Please forgive me."

Lina stopped the fireball and said, "Alright. Your lucky I'm in a good mood. Well, see ya!"

Lina started to leave the guild when the man stopped her. "Miss, I want you to know that-"

"NO WAY! You aren't getting anymore money out of me!" Lina said, clutching the book possessively.

"That's not what I wanted to say. I just think you should know-"

"Oooohh, I know how much it's worth. You snooze, ya lose! I'm outta here!"

"But wait!"

"Sorry, I can't hear yooooouuu!" Lina said, running out of the Elmekia Sorcerer's Guild. There was no way she was paying any more than she had to.

The man sighed. "Well, suit yourself." He then started to pack up his cart for tomorrow.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hmm. That's pretty cheap for a spell book." Zelgadis said, sipping his coffee.

"I know! And he was trying to get more money out of me. I don't think so!" Lina said, between gulps of food that could shame a tiger.

The group was together in the restaurant part of the inn. Gourry and Lina were eating their 10 portions each, Zelgadis was working on his coffee, Amelia stopped eating a while ago, having lost her appetite from watching Lina and Gourry, and Filia was sipping her tea.

"You know what I think, Miss Lina? I think the man was a true defender of justice!" Amelia said, striking a pose, "And he must have seen justice in you, to sell you the book so cheap."

"Hey, Lina? *gobble crunch* Didn't you say his glasses were getting repaired?" Gourry asked.

"Oh..." Amelia said, "That would explain seeing justice in Miss Lina."

Lina glared and threw a fork at Amelia, who moved her hand just in time. Her and Gourry finished their food, then, after a loud burp each (of which Lina would be the winner, if it had been a contest), they relaxed and started to talk.

"Anyway, I'm gonna take a look through the book tonight, maybe try a few spells." Lina said.

"Well, you had better be careful. You don't know what some of those spells could do." Filia said, finishing her tea.

"She's right, you know!" came a voice from behind them. They turned around to see Xellos standing there, smiling cheesily as usual.

"NAMAGOMI!" Filia shrieked at the top of her lungs, immediately pulling out Mace-sama. "DIE!" she swung as hard as she could, but to no avail since Xellos just disappeared and reappeared to dodge it. Filia then proceeded to chase Xellos around the restaurant, him smiling all the while.

"Well, I'm going to read the book." Lina said, leaving for the door. Gourry, Amelia, and Zelgadis joined her, not caring to watch Filia and Xellos fight again.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hmm... this one looks interesting. A summoning spell." Lina said, reading the book. She got up and went outside, and into a clearing in the garden. She looked at the book one more time, then started the spell.

"I call thee, beseech thee, come to me from across time and space. Join me here, hear my call." She chanted. A glowing pentagram appeared underneath her, then a beam of light shot into the sky, and formed a glowing ball in the air.

******************************

"Must...stay...awake...have to...learn about...nouns..." Cam thought to himself, struggling to keep awake. He was waiting for this class to end, then he could finally go and eat. And rejoice in his mini-anime shrine (a.k.a. his locker). His VCR was being repaired, and he was in serious Anime withdrawal. Usually he was being his psychotic, sugar high, Otakuish self. But he had become sluggish with the breaking of the VCR.

The bell finally rang, and he got up and headed for his locker. He looked around him at the dreary halls of CNB Penitentiary (though they call it CNB School to throw people off). He finally reached his locker, and upon opening it saw a bright light in the back. He shielded his eyes for a second, then reached for it, thinking it a flashlight that one of his enemies had put in there to purposely blind him. He forgot to think about how they would know the locker combination in the first place. He felt around the light, finding nothing. Then he touched the light.

"Ahh...warm..." he said. His hand started to tingle a little bit, then a lot. He tried pulling his hand back, but it was stuck. He was getting pulled forward now, and couldn't stop it. Next thing he saw he was surrounded by a bright light, and felt like he was moving. Fast.

"Stupid monsters." Said InuYasha, wiping his claws to get the blood off. "Tell me again why you had to break the jewel?" he said to Kagome, who was performing minor repairs on her backpack.

"I didn't mean to! Besides, it was that, or lose the entire jewel all together." She replied.

"Whatever. Stupid girl."

Kagome glared. "Sit, boy!"

*THUD* "Oww...WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR?"

"I heard that little comment of yours!"

"Oh yeah? Well it's true!"

"You shouldn't be talking about stupid! All the time, you-"

Kagome and InuYasha kept fighting during Shippo's return. He jumped around trying to get their attention, without success.

"Why do they always do this? They give me a headache." He said, sitting and watching them.

A couple of hours later, they finished fighting. They had to go back to the village to get some food before they left again. They headed off in it's direction.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Well, we're almost ready to go! I just wanna go back to the well and go say goodbye to my family." Kagome said, shouldering her backpack. "C'mon, lets go!"

They set off to the well, and upon reaching it, InuYasha jumped into a tree.

"I'll wait for you here." He said, making himself comfortable, "And be quick about it!"

"Yeah, yeah." Kagome replied, not really paying any attention to him.

While she was putting her pack and the rest of the supplies under the tree, Shippo went and jumped onto the edge of the well.

"Hey, Kagome! Was there always a glowing light here?" he asked, looking closer.

"What? No." she replied, getting up and looking.

"Hmm...I wanna touch it!" Shippo said, reaching out.

"Wait! You shouldn't-" Kagome started.

"Huh? I can't get out!" Shippo said, pulling with all his might. He then felt himself being pulled in. "Ahh! Help!" he cried, reaching for Kagome with his free hand.

"Don't worry, I've got you!" she said. But then she herself started to get pulled in. She tugged as hard as she could, but she just kept being pulled in. Her entire arm was in the light, and, though she could feel his hand, Shippo was out of sight.

"InuYasha! HEEELP!" she yelled, moving further and further into the light.

"KAGOME!" he yelled, jumping to her. He grabbed her arm and tried to pull her out, but couldn't. The pull got stronger and stronger, until he couldn't keep pulling without removing Kagome's arm. "WhoaoaaaaAAAAAAHHHH!" he yelled, as he was also pulled into the light.

******************************

Lina looked up above her at the glowing light she had just made. She thought she heard something, but wasn't sure. Then, the sounds got louder, and she knew there was definitely something happening. It sounded like...shouting, she thought.

She peered into the light, and saw shadows, getting clearer as the sound got louder. All of a sudden something...no, somethings, fall out. The things yelled and fell to the ground with a loud thud. After the dust cleared, she looked at the heap that lie in front of her. She saw a girl in a sailor uniform, a man with long silver hair and dog ears dressed in red, what looked like a little kid with a bushy tail, and a boy with glasses and a backpack.

"Oooohh my..." she said.
