Inuyasha, meet Yusuke – Chapter 2
Koenma's ogre employees tucked Yusuke and the four others away in what looked like a space age elevator. It was basically a cylinder of glass and aluminum, with barely enough room for the five to feel un-crowded. But, Koenma had said that this was the Spirit World Portal to the past, the one that could mimic the Bone-Eater's well in taking them back to the Warring States Era.
"Watch your elbows," Kuwabara muttered as Yusuke attempted to stretch out, and ended up poking him in the ribs.
"Hmph," Yusuke turned to his two youkai friends. "Hey, Kurama, Hiei, have you two ever been in one of these things before?"
"Hardly," Kurama chuckled. "I never had any reason to, and besides these portals are quite state-of-the-art."
Hiei snorted. "Well if I had had a choice, I'd have let you guys go alone. Time travel doesn't interest me in the least."
A green ogre secured the door to the portal, and the lights in the tube turned down to almost off. Another pushed a series of buttons on the keypad bedside the elevator portal, and slowly but surly, the walls around the five travelers began the spin.
"What the hell?" Yusuke spun around trying to figure out what the walls were doing. They spun faster and faster, complete with flashing neon lights. "What's going on?"
"I dunno, but it's making me feel sorta sick," Kuwabara muttered.
"If you hurl on me, I'm kickin' your ass outta here," Yusuke threatened, pushing Kuwabara to the side.
"Now, you two, just be happy we aren't spinning as well," Kurama said.
The flashing of the light intensified, until the grand finally of a flash so bright it was like a supercharged x-ray. Yusuke was blinded and stunned at the same time; he could see Kurama's teeth inside of his head!
Then, nobody could see anything at all....
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Grass.
Wind.
"What the hell?"
Yusuke opened his eyes again after what seemed like an hour. A clump of grass was flattened up against his face and a cool wind blew down his back. He was lying on his stomach, and propped himself up on his elbows. He was no longer in the portal, that was for sure.
"You're finally up," Kurama said, leaning down to look Yusuke in the eye. "I believe you passed out during the time travel process." Somewhere behind him stood a bored-looking Hiei, and Botan was sitting cross-legged at his left, looking around at the landscape.
"Oh, my head," Yusuke rubbed his eyes, trying to chase away the lingering stars there.
"Apparently humans are to delicate for time travel," Hiei muttered, gesturing over to where Kuwabara was still zonked out on the ground. The little youkai walked over calmly with his hands in his pockets, and gave Kuwabara a swift kick.
"Umph..." he muttered.
"Get up already," Hiei said, poking him again with his foot.
"Just ten more minutes sis..."
"Sis?" Hiei looked a bit perturbed.
"He must think that it's time for school," Botan giggled, rising from her spot on the ground.
Yusuke grumbled, "We have a mission now. It's not the time for delusions of sleeping in late at home." He stood up, dusted himself off and grabbed Kuwabara by the feet.
He started to walk off, dragging the slumbering Kuwabara along.
"Where are you going?" Kurama asked as he and Hiei walked to catch up.
"Where can we go, that's what I'd like to know. If it worked and we really are in the Futile Era, then there's no towns, no cars, no nothing that we're gonna know." Yusuke kept on walking, moving around a giant fallen tree in his path. "I figure we just keep walking until we come across someone who can direct us to this 'Kagome' person."
"I'm sure this is what happens when you time-travel," Botan said, skipping along.
"I guarantee that we are indeed in the Futile Era," Kurama mused, looking around. "The sense of time is somewhat...distorted, and the air doesn't smell quite as polluted."
"And in addition to that, youkai aren't allowed to simply run amuck in the present," Hiei added calmly.
"Nani? What the fuck is that supposed to mean?" Yusuke spun around.
KEEEE-ROOOOOOOOWRRRRRRR!
"Exactly what it sounds like," Hiei continued, not really seeming to care that a very large and very unhappy youkai was coming strait at them in the distance.
"Holy shit!" Yusuke turned around, swinging Kuwabara behind him like a useless third arm.
Just over the hill they had just walked over, a twelve-foot high creature stood. It's body was like a horribly fat horse, with eagle's talons were the hooves should be. The creature's head was a bloated football, filled with uneven yellow teeth. Three whip-like tails twitched and swung around as the youkai turned its head from left to right, searching for something.
"I think it's after us," Yusuke noted, dropping Kuwabara and cracked his knuckles. "I'd say, lets kick its ass!"
"No, wait," Kurama grabbed his arm. "I don't think it has even seen us." The redhead kitsune ducked down behind the giant log they had passed around.
"What difference does that make?" Yusuke muttered. "The things as ugly as sin, it would be a favor for this time period, don't you think?"
"We aren't here to exterminate all the youkai..." Kurama pleaded as Hiei jumped over the log and Botan decided to follow Kurama's advice and hide too. "Really, we should observe the situation before charging in, don't you think?"
"Me? Yusuke? Never!" Yusuke laughed. But he crouched down beside the kitsune, peeking around the log to watch the youkai.
"BWA-HA-HA-HA! I HAVE FOUND YOU; YOU WITH THE SHIKON NO TAMA!!!" A crackling booming voice escaped the demon, as he spun around, turning its back on the Spirit Detective and friends.
"See?" Kurama asked.
"Shikon no Tama?? Isn't that what we're supposed to be looking for?" Botan asked, fidgeting with the ends of some of her hair.
Sure enough, in the shadow of the giant youkai, five figures appeared. One white and red, another pink and black; purple and black; white green and black; and one small tan speck sitting on the purple one's shoulder.
"Hey, aren't those the people from Koenma's slide show??" Yusuke marveled. "It wasn't too hard to find them at all." He looked over at the still- sleeping Kuwabara.
Poking him hard, Yusuke muttered, "I thought that sleeping during battle and refusing to wake up was MY job..."
The giant youkai in the distance reared up on its back legs, fire erupting out of its mouth. The small figures began to scatter, with the red and white one, Inuyasha, up front.
"YOU HAVE IT!!! I WILL TAKE IT FROM YOUUUU!!!!" The demon charged, attempting to tackle Inuyasha, as the hanyou lifted up his sword.
"Like hell you will." Yusuke and the others just barely picked up the sound of someone talking to the youkai, just before the Tetsusaiga came down on the youkai's bloated head.
KEEEE-ROOWWWRRRRR!
Again the youkai screamed an ear-piercing squawk, as it turned to face its attacker again.
"I think we should get down," Kurama cautioned. This time, Yusuke listened immediately, for he had grown to trust the kitsune's ability to sense impending danger. Botan and Hiei crouched down low as well.
"KAZE NO KIZO!!!" The same voice as before screamed out an attack, and there was a brilliant flash of light.
The giant youkai exploded, as five fingers of deadly energy tore through it. A mound of demon limbs and guts coated in dark red blood pelted the wood of the log, spraying over he top. Next the fingers of energy followed, tearing apart the log and sending everyone flying.
Kuwabara was flung away like a paper doll (he was still asleep), Botan was kept from flying away by Kurama, who was doing his best not to get flung around, and Yusuke just rolled away. Hiei lept up into the air, safe, as the Wind Scar passed beneath him. Everyone was getting pelted by debris and goo, as the wind howled around them.
Slowly, the wind died down, and everything settled to the ground. Hiei landed softly beside Yusuke's sprawled form.
"Holy shit!" Yusuke picked a wad of the youkai's goo out of his hair, sitting up painfully. "When you're right, Kurama, you're really right."
Kurama's hair was sticking out every which way and he rubbed his arm painfully. "I'd have rather been wrong."
If Kurama's hair looked ridiculous, Botan's was way worse. She crawled over between Yusuke and a dead-looking Kuwabara. "After all that, I don't understand how he can stay unconscious..." she muttered. Hiei rolled his eyes.
"Look!" Yusuke pointed to the hill that the youkai has been on when it was in one piece. The Kaze no Kizo had torn up the hillside, and demon parts were everywhere. But more importantly, Inuyasha, Kagome and the others were busy scaling the hill, looking around.
"Hey, here it is!" the black haired girl dressed in black spandex and pick armor stooped down low, bending over a glowing piece of demon flesh. Kagome wiped her hands on her school uniform, and bent down to pick something up.
She removed a glowing pink speck from the lump, and immediately all the pieces of the demon dissolved into nothing but bones. Botan squeaked as she found she had one sticking out of her hair.
The purple-clad man carrying a golden Buddhist staff turned his head toward the sound. "What is it?" the one called Inuyasha asked.
"I could have sworn I heard a woman scream," the monk mused, an interested gleam in his eye.
"Hey, look! Look over there!" The tan pipsqueak of a kitsune that sat on the monk's shoulder yelled. "There's people over there."
No doubt they had spotted the bright colors of their clothing against the brown/green grass not a quarter mile away.
"I think we've been spotted," Kurama said.
"No shit, Sherlock," Yusuke grumbled. He stood up, fighting a slight sense of dizziness and began waving his arms shouting, "Hey! Hey! Hey, over here!"
Hiei helped Kurama stand up as Botan joined Yusuke.
"Hey! Hey! YO!"
Their noise caught the rest of the Inuyasha gang's attention. "Were those people caught in that blast?" the youkai slayer Sango asked.
"It looks like it," Miroku the monk noted. "There is a woman among them. Perhaps we should venture down there to see if they are alright." He winced as Sango glared at him.
"One of them looks hurt," the kitsune Shippo, added. "We should check it out, even if not for Miroku's antics."
Miroku laughed shakily, "Heh heh heh..."
"Keh! I can smell them all the way up here, and I can tell that none of them are seriously injured," Inuyasha sniffed the air, getting an odd expression of recognition on his face.
"There's something I'm not getting here," Kagome mused as she started down the hill, motioning for the others to follow. "I can tell from here, they don't look like people from the Futile Era."
"What are you saying, Kagome?" Miroku asked.
"Do you think that there are more people from your time here?" Shippo added.
"I don't know, guys. But we should check it out anyway."
Everyone began trailing after her down the blood-slicked hill. Inuyasha brought up the lead, sniffing the air thoughtfully. There was something he didn't understand as well.
Two of the newcomers –the girl and the short one—were indeed youkai. The redhead didn't look like a youkai, but her was one too. The guy lying sprawled on the ground was definitely a human...but the other.
His blood had a familiar sent.
It was the sent of a hanyou. Like Inuyasha.
A.N.: That's the second chappie. I tried to make it a little longer than the first, which was the ultimate of default chapters.
For those of you who think I'm making something up, I'm not. Yusuke is a hanyou, but they don't find out about it until really late in the series, later than what has been dubbed in America. His father/descendent was a demon named Raizen, and of course you know Atsuko, his human mother.
So basically, I'm playing on the similarities between Yusuke and Inuyasha, how Yusuke and the others don't know, and Hiei's and such's reactions when Inuyasha tells them, or tells Yusuke to tell them.
Ta-daa! So, now that I have everything established, I can go on a rampage here! Wheee!
I have high hopes for this fic. So, I'll make it the funniest possible without getting stupid. (Hard, I know.) So, enjoy!
