It's been a while, but I'm back! Here's chapter five!

A Dose of Chaos Book II

Nightmare of the Baboon

Reflections and a High School Battle

Intense pain was all that Shigure and Kitsu felt, as they clutched their chests. They just returned to the castle as they ran into their fragmented master. Naraku was in many clumps of flesh, slowly regenerating and putting himself back together. He was very displeased that they failed to hold off Tenchi and his group. So he just punished them as he had done with Kagura and Juuroumaru before them.

Thinking about that traitorous bitch Kagura made his blood boil, for her betrayal help led to his demise at the hands of Inuyasha. He would make sure to keep a tight leash on his offspring, so he would not make the same mistake as he did before.

The two were now on the ground, panting in exhaustion after their painful ordeal. "Let that be inspiration for success on future assignments." Naraku put their hearts back to wherever he kept them, and waved his arm in a dismissive manner. "Now go. I wish to be alone." The two shakily got up, bowed, and left the room. Naraku went back to his musings. Apparently Shigure and Kitsu weren't enough to get the job done. He would have to make a something most fierce. That's when he got an idea on what his next creation would be. He began to chuckle to himself as he continued to heal.

Sengoku Jidai Era…

Dawn was approaching, and a certain hanyou began to awaken. Inuyasha slowly opened his eyes, and peered around the room. Everyone was asleep, not aware of his stirring. Inuyasha quietly crept out of the hut, fully conscious of where to step. He wouldn't want people waking up after all. Then they would start asking questions. Inuyasha glanced at where Miroku was sleeping, glaring at the slumbering houshi. The monk was getting too curious for his own good, and kept asking annoying and obvious questions. The monk would eventually find out and start spreading rumors to what he was really doing. So far he was able to keep it under wraps.

As Inuyasha quietly left the room, Miroku smirked and opened his right eye. Inuyasha was so easy to fool sometimes. Miroku knew of Inuyasha's morning ritual. First he would go to the local stream and get a drink and splash his face, and then he would go strait to Kagome's era. He was so easy to figure out! Miroku quietly crept out of the room and quickly made a dash for the well. Along the way he was giggling like a mad man at how Inuyasha would react to being caught in the act.

Inuyasha gave a sigh of contentment after wiping his mouth with his sleeve. Nothing can beat the taste of fresh water from the stream. Too bad Kagome's time doesn't have water this good. It usually tastes like metal or has that weird plastic stuff in it. After having his fill, Inuyasha started to bound off towards the well, ready for another day in the modern era. The well was in sight as he cleared another set of bushes, and was just about to make the final bound to it until a voice stopped him.

"Going somewhere, Inuyasha?"

Inuyasha fell in shock during mid leap, and managed to save himself by sliding along the grass, a noticeable trench where his feet skidded. "Where the hell are you monk?" Inuyasha looked angrily back and forth.

Miroku stepped out from behind a tree, staff and all. A smirk could plainly be seen on his face. "I don't think any stray youkai are roaming around. What about you?"

"Feh!" Inuyasha could have sworn that stupid smirk of his grew bigger. "So how long did you know?"

Miroku walked over to him and sat on the large rock he was standing next to. "From the very beginning."

Inuyasha sputtered indignantly as Miroku continued to look smug with himself. "Oh come on Inuyasha. You have to face the fact that you're a horrible liar. Even the village children know what you're really doing."

Inuyasha's eyes widened considerably as his face took on a red hue. "WHAT! Even the villagers know?!"

Miroku nodded in answer. "Yup. Everyone." He then looked over to Inuyasha and gave him a lecherous stare. "So, you've gotten anywhere with her?"

Inuyasha's blush deepened after that comment. "You stupid perverted monk! I ain't like you!"

Miroku gave him a dubious look. "You're right. You would rather string them along."

Inuyasha gave him an angry glare. "What's that suppose to mean, bouzu?"

"I don't know, why don't you tell me?" Miroku shifted his position a little and leaned the laid his staff on the grassy floor. "Naraku is dead, and Kikyou is now finally resting in peace. Why do you still hesitate with Kagome?"

Inuyasha began to blush even more and looked away. An idea then popped in his head as he smirked slightly. "Well what about you and Sango, huh? I see you haven't done anything yet either!"

Miroku was taken aback at Inuyasha's reply, fighting a blush that was forcing its way to his face. "Touche'."

Inuyasha looked at him quizzically. "What the hell does that mean?"

Miroku shrugged. "I don't know. I heard Kagome say it during one of your arguments. It sounded like the appropriate thing to say."

We come to the confines of Washu's lab, where many amazing, horrible, and bizarre things occur. Washu was currently going over many readings, trying to find any trace of the beings who had attacked them. She planned to do many painful experiments to them for what they did. Making one relive nightmares and causing the reopenings of old wounds was not a pleasant experience.

She remembered very well what she had experienced. First it was when her son was taken away, followed by her time in Kagato's prison. She remembered how she was helpless both times, watching how the noblemen took away her child and Kagato torturing Ryoko. It made her boil in rage and her heart ache in pain. Oh yes, she would find that Naraku bastard and cause him much pain indeed.

Her thoughts went to the others as well. They too had faced that spell, and she could tell that it affected them. Tenchi was the one that surprised her most of all, for he was actually able to break the spell. Yosho had to free most of them, for he knew what was happening. Washu mentally promised herself to pump some information out of the priest later.

She also couldn't believe that she missed the appearance of Tsunami. The Goddess of Jurai herself showed up, and from the power readings she recorded, probably gave whoever was attacking her a good beating. She thought of asking Sasami about what happened, but then she decided against it. The poor girl's been through enough as it is. Washu continued to type furiously on the holo-laptop as she continued to search for any disturbances or clues.

Inuyasha walked out of the shrine, intent on making it to Kagome's school. He's already late enough as it is, thanks to that stupid houshi. Just as he was about to leap off towards his destination, a voice stopped him in his place.


"Inuyasha? What are you doing here?" The voice belong to a woman around in her thirties, she had short black hair, and the same blue-brown eyes as Kagome. She was holding bags of groceries.

Inuyasha looked like a deer caught in headlights. "Uh, Mrs. Higarashi, w-what are you doing here?"

Kagome's mother raised and eyebrow and had an amused smile on her face. "I live here." She chuckled at Inuyasha's embarrassed look. "Could you help me with these heavy groceries?"


Inuyasha would usually refuse to do something like that, but the way she looked at him reminded him of his own mother. He grabbed a few bags and carried them in for her. She started to take out a few cans and put them in the cupboard. Inuyasha was fumbling with a few, trying to figure out where they go. After getting some help, he was easily completing the task he was given. After they were done, Mrs. Higarashi gestured Inuyasha to sit in one of the table chairs.

"Tea?" Inuyasha nervously accepted the offer, and Kagome's mother poured him a cup. He blew on it a few times before he took a sip. Mrs. Higrashi was sitting across from him, doing the same.

"So Inuyasha, are you going to answer my question?" Inuyasha looked started, and mumbled a little.


"Uh, what question?"

She chuckled a little, and took another sip. "Why are here? Is there anything in particular that you want?"

"No good reason. I was just bored is all." Despite his answer, she could easily see that he was lying his baggy pants off. She took on an analytical look.

"Yes, I can see how you're bored now. Especially since you completed that jewel. I can't possibly imagine what you have to do for fun back there." Inuyasha mentally sighed as he thought that she bought it.

"Of course here on the other hand…" Inuyasha almost choked on his tea. "Oh! Did I say something to disturb you?" Inuyasha regained his composure.

"Of course not! I was just drinking and it went down the wrong pipe!"

"Oh, for a minute there I thought I might of stumbled on some little secret." Inuyasha started to sweat bullets at what she said. "You could do lots of things. Like maybe watching the scenery, or perhaps going on a long stroll at the park. You know, the one near Kagome's school?"

Inuyasha coughed into his fist. "Wow, really?" He choked out nervously. "I never thought of doing something like that." Inuyasha quickly gulped the rest of his tea, and started to head out the door. "Er, thanks for the tea Mrs. Higarashi."

Kagome's mother took another sip of her tea. "You know Inuyasha, Kagome once told me that you lost your mother when you were very young."

Inuyasha started to look melancholy after she said that. "Yeah. She died…a long time ago."

Mrs. Higarashi gave him a soft smile. "Well then, how about calling me mom then, rather than the formalities?"

Inuyasha gave her a surprised look, and then started to look a little hesitant. He thought it over, and answered her with a smile. "Alright then…Mom." With that, he went out the door, bounding off to his original destination.

Kagome's mother continued to smile after the hanyou left. "Teenagers. Always thinking that they can hide things from parents." Truth to be told, she always saw Inuyasha in the mornings and late evenings. The way he would wait for Kagome to go to school, and then come home minutes after Kagome walked into the house. She thought it was rather sweet of him to watch over her, even if he was going overboard. Now all they had to do was admit their feelings for each other before she starts going gray. Then in no time she'll start getting grandchildren to spoil! And with luck, they'll have their father's cute little ears!

Kagome's grandfather walked into the kitchen and saw the strangest sight before him. There was his daughter bouncing around humming a little ditty, saying something that he couldn't quite hear. He just grabbed the newspaper and walked into the living room, shaking his head the whole time. He didn't really want to know what was going through his daughter's head.

Ayeka was currently washing the clothes, her turn to do the chore that day. Mihoshi would usually help her, but she was still out on patrol. Ayeka's attention was more on that Naraku character, rather than the blonde policewoman. The man had the gall to give her such nightmares. The feeling of abandonment was still fresh on her mind. First it was the day Yosho left, followed by Tenchi leaving. Then eventually everyone left her for one reason or another, even her parents.

She then thought back to Sasami and that explosion of Jurian power. She was sure that it was definitely Tsunami, but what had happened that it would warrant her intervention? Another thing that bothered her was that Sasami had been a bit withdrawn ever since the encounter. Ayeka had asked Sasami for what had happened, but she said that she couldn't remember a thing after she fell over the dirt drop. She would then put on a fake smile and go back to what she was doing. Ayeka's heart ached whenever she saw that, and wished that her sister would tell her what was wrong. Her anger towards the man grew even more, so much more that she accidentally ripped a pair of pants she was about to put in the washer.

"OH NO! LORD TENCHI'S PANTS!"

Inuyasha was currently roof hopping, easily clearing the buildings with no trouble at all. He was thinking of the conversation he had with…mom. It was so weird to call her that, but he was glad that he could for some reason. He wondered if she knew about his activities too. "Nah, just imagining things, that's all."

He was already late enough in his mind, so he picked up the pace. While he was sailing through the air, he began to pick the scent of smoke. Inuyasha simplified that wherever there was smoke, there was usually fire, which meant trouble. He then realized where the smoke was coming from. He quickened his pace, trying to get to the disturbance as fast as he could. The smoke was coming from Kagome's school.

Kagome made her way into the room where the archery club keeps their arrows, arming herself for the battle that she was being forced to fight. It would figure some pervert youkai would attack while she was in the locker room.

FLASHBACK

Three girls wearing the same gym uniforms gather around her, discussing the how the track dashes went.

"Wow Kagome! I can't believe how well you did on the track! Sayuri, a girl wearing a headband, complimented her friend.

"Yeah! It's hard to believe a girl who's been as sick as you could actually be able to run that fast!" Yuka, a girl with her hair cut short, exclaimed in praise.

"Maybe you should sign up for the track club! I'm sure you'd win some medals." Makoto, a girl whose hair appeared to be permed suggested.

"Well, I could think about it. Maybe it could help out somehow with my grades."

"Yeah! It might help with all those times you were absent!" Sayuri exclaimed.

Kagome sighed at that statement. She sure was glad that the Shikon no Tama is finally whole again, that means that she doesn't have to worry about missing school anymore. Of course running from youkai constantly wanting her life did wonders for her figure. Although she kinda missed going on those adventures, especially spending time with Inuyasha. She began to start blushing at that thought.

"Kagome, you're blushing!" Yuka started to tease the raven haired girl.

Makoto started to probe her friend for more info. "Is it that guy from before, huh?"

"Er, well…" Kagome's reply was cut off as a loud explosion blew part of the wall away. A man walked in, his blue eyes hard and menacing. He wore black leather pants and jacket, with a white t-shirt underneath. He wore leather gloves and boots, and was currently holding a katana. He had black hair, and he had a pair of earings on his pointed ears.

"Oi. I'm searching for a certain jewel, which one of you chicks have it?" All the girls were staring at the guy in fear, and wondering what type of psycho could blow up part of the wall. He was about to grab Sayuri and demand where the jewel was, until a trash can lid hit the back of his head. He turned and glared at the assailant.

"Everyone! Get out of here quick!" Kagome gulped as his attention was now turned to her. "Okay, that wasn't such a hot idea."  She saw the man give her a menacing smile.

"For that bitch, I'm going to skewer you personally."

END OF FLASHBACK

"Aha! Found some!" Kagome was able to pull out a case of arrows and a bow. They may not come from the feudal era, but they'll do just as well.

"WENCH! YOU BETTER COME OUT HERE BEFORE I START HACKIN' AT YOUR FRIENDS!"

Kagome could tell that he was bluffing, and sighed a mental relief as she remembered that most of the school had evacuated by that time. "I wish Inuyasha was here, but I guess that I'll have to do this myself."

She crept out of the room, on a constant lookout for the attacker. She looked out in the courtyard and saw him, and chuckled a little to herself. "Good! That means he won't see me! He literally won't know what hit him!"  After sneaking outside, she raised her bow and pulled out an arrow. She placed the arrow in its proper positon, and took careful aim. She shifted her foot, not realizing that her foot snapped the twig that was next to her.

The leather clad man turned around instantly at the sound, and his eyes widened in shock at what Kagome was doing. He took evasive action as she launched her arrow, it nearly piecing him in the chest. He noticed the magical aura surrounding, and was shocked even further. "That girl's a miko!" He then smirked as he noticed a glow emanating against her shirt. "So you have the jewel! I'll enjoy torturing you for it!"

Kagome took quick aim and fired again, but the youkai easily evaded it. "Heh! You'll have to do better than that girl!" He then reached for one of his earrings and plucked it off, and then threw it at the ground near Kagome. A loud popping sound was heard as smoke billowed from the pearl.

Kagome covered her mouth with her sleeve as she was coughing, and frantically looked around for the attacker. She barely noticed the man in time as he charged with his sword, intent on decapitating her. She lunged for the ground as the blade swung over her, the following air stream blowing her hair all over. The youkai turned around and glanced down at Kagome with a feral smile.

"Well, looks like the end babe! Too bad, I wouldn't have minded having a little fun with you, but you're just too dangerous." He raised the blade over his head, bringing his arm in a downwards thrust.

Kagome shut her eyes tight, preparing for the pain of death. "Inuyasha!" Was her final thought, at least until she felt the ground move away from her at a quickened pace. Funny, death wasn't as painful as she thought it would be. She opened her eyes and saw nothing but red, at least until she figured out that she recognized that red clothing. She looked up and saw a face that made her heart flutter. "Inuyasha?!"

Inuyasha winced at her yell, wondering why she had to scream so loud. "Feh! I turn my back for a few minutes and you go and get yourself into trouble."

Kagome began to become flustered. "Well excuse me! It's not like I had a choice in the matter! I was in the middle of changing out of my gym uniform for goodness sakes!"

It was then Inuyasha noticed the state of her clothing. She only a wore long sleeved shirt, a strange looking pair of pants that didn't cover her legs, and some socks and shoes. He had to admit that she looked different with her done up in a pony tail. Inuyasha blushed a little at how much legs she was showing. "That perverted houshi would have a field day with this…"

Kagome continued her ranting not noticing his blushing. "And what do you mean by "I turn my back for a few minutes"? Have you been following me?!"

Inuyasha just snorted and turned his head away. Kagome's eyebrow ticked. "You have been following me, haven't you?! I can tell because you can't even look at me in the face! WELL?"

"Feh!"

"That's another way I can tell that you did something! Just what does "feh" mean anyway?" Kagome was very irate.

"Excuse me! Can you two stop your lover's quarrel? I'd like to kill you now!"

Kagome began to blush at the mention of the word "lover", while Inuyasha just looked annoyed. "Man! You're nothing but a small fry."

The leather clad youkai was pissed at that remark. "Excuse me? Are insulting my prowess half-breed?! I can smell the human on you weakling!"

Inuyasha wordlessly hopped down from the wall where he placed Kagome, and started to crack his knuckles. "So. You want to die by claws, fists, or sword?"


The youkai began to laugh in a cocky tone. "Hah! You think you can take me on? Togoro? Especially since I have the Raijin?!"

"Raijin?" Inuyasha dead panned.

"Yeah! Like the thunder god! I see you're stupid as well!"

"Funny, it doesn't look like a thunder weapon." Inuyasha started to look uninterested.

A vein bulged on Togoro's head. "That's beside the point! It's much better than that crappy chipped sword at your side!"

Inuyasha's eyebrow ticked when his sword was insulted. "Tell you what small fry, I'll give you a rare treat. I'm going to take my Tetsusaiga, and then ram it down your throat just so you can shut up!"

"Iron Pulverizing Fang?" He barked some laughter at that. "That's a pretty good name! Especially since both you and your sword are about to get "pulverized"!" He continued to laugh until Inuyasha pulled out his sword, thus transforming it into its true form. It's safe to say that Togoro wetted himself after he saw the massive sword. "Eep." Was all that he could say.

After screaming like a little girl, the youkai tried to make a getaway. After barely dodging the first strike, he hopped out of the courtyard and bounded over the wall. "Get back here, coward!" Inuyasha followed in pursuit.

After a merry little chase, Togoro landed in the park. He was confident that he lost the hanyou, until he saw a blur of red heading towards him. He quickly picked off his other earring and threw at Inuyasha's landing spot. Another loud popping sound was heard as some strange goo spread out all over the grassy land. Inuyasha wasn't able to change his direction in time, and landed in the weird gunk.

"What the hell is this crap?!" Inuyasha struggled with his feet, but he still had a hard time moving them. Togoro was laughing like a madman as he saw the hanyou's predicament. Inuyasha glared at him with the intensity of a thousand suns.

"You're stuck in my "Mystery Goo"!" Inuyasha sweat dropped at such a stupid name. "Hey! Don't look at me like that!" Togoro cleared his throat and began to speak again. "Now that you can't move, I can easily finish you off half-dog!"

During the whole exchange, a local photographer was taking pictures for the cover of a botanical gardens magazine, when he stumbled upon the two individuals. His mouth hung open as he witnessed the exchange and the huge massive sword. He fumbled for his camera and tried to get it prepped as fast as he could.

"You idiot! Just because I can't move doesn't mean my sword can't!" Inuyasha gave a menacing smile as he eyed the nervous youkai.


"What do you mean? You can't reach me! You're bluffing!"

Inuyasha's smile grew larger at that proclamation. "Oh yeah?" He then swung the Tetsusaiga in a horizontal arc, and one could see a strange light come forth.


"Kaze no Kizu(Wound of the Wind or Cutting Wind)!"

CLICK!

The last sound was lost in the deafening explosion, as the vicious wind currents blew away most of the debris. The photographer was knocked to the ground by the intense winds, the camera flying off in an unknown direction.


After the blast dissipated, all traces of Togoro were wiped from existence as only a large trench was left as a reminder of the battle. Inuyasha was eventually able to get out of the…Mystery Goo, and went back to see if Kagome was alright, and then go home to kick a certain monk's ass for making him late.

A few hours later…

The photographer woke up, feeling a massive migraine from his forced nap. After looking around, he noticed that the area in front of him was practically wiped out. His eyes bulged out as he saw the large and deep trench a few yards away. He searched around for his camera frantically, hoping against the odds that it wasn't broken. His efforts were rewarded as he found his camera. Sure, it was a little banged up, but the film seemed to be okay…

Two days later…

Kagome's grandfather was currently looking through the newspaper at the breakfast table with his family. He was taking a sip of his drink until he came upon a certain article.


"INVADERS, DEMONS, OR WORSE?"

The old priest chuckled a little as he read it, always looking for kicks in the mornings. If only they new that youkai were real, of course he knew all along. That's why you got to pay attention to history after all! He took another sip of his tea until he spat it out in surprise.


Kagome's mother looked up from eating her eggs as she noticed her father having trouble. "Anything wrong, grandpa?" Souta and Kagome looked a little concerned as well.

"Take a look at this article." He held up the paper and showed a very familiar image. Although the image was grainy, and obscured in the light of the Kaze no Kizu, one could make out a familiar red figure within it.

Kagome's eyebrows twitched. She couldn't believe he used a move so dangerous in a public place! "Inuyasha is SO going to get it next time I see him!" Souta and her grandfather both cringed in fear at her tone, while Kagome's mother winced in sympathy for the young hanyou. She saw one of those sits, and they looked like they hurt.

Feudal Era…

Inuyasha was sitting on one of the wooden fence when he began to shudder violently. The old priestess Kaede glanced up from gathering herbs. "Something ails ye, Inuyasha?"

Inuyasha looked around tersely. "I feel like hell itself is after me."


"Did ye anger Kagome again?"

"What the hell is that suppose to mean?!"

Kaede rolled her eye as she continued to pull the herbs out of the garden. "I wonder."

To be continued…

Bouzu- insult Inuyasha uses for Miroku, a disrespectful term for a monk

Sorry for the long delay, but I lost inspiration for a long period of time. But now I got it again, and as you can see, this chapter mostly focused on the other part of this crossover. See the next chapter as the Higarashi's aren't the only ones to see the article. Tsunami begins to appear in Inuyasha's dreams, while Naraku is busy planning something nasty! As always, read and review please!
