Spell: I must admit, I'm touched.
Crystal: By what?
Spell: (Melodramatic.) An angel!
Crystal: ...
Spell: No, by all the nice reviews. I feel so loved!
DISCLAIMER: I have decided I own Yu Yu Hakusho. Therefore I do. And if you believe that, you need to get out of my dream world.
---With the blonde and brunette---
"Anyway, before SOMEONE pushed me down a well," Crystal said, glaring at Twilight, who at the moment was looking very innocent, pure, and sweet, "that place looked a lot like Kagome's house, from Inu-Yasha."
"Inu-Yasha?" Kurama asked, confused. Yusuke also sported a confused expression. Hiei didn't, because he's Hiei, and he doesn't show much expression. "I'm afraid I don't know who or what you're talking about."
"Sure ya do," Ishkibibble said, grinning. "Oh. You can call me Twilight again. Anyway, Inu-Yasha is a dog hanyou with long white hair and kind of looks like Youko. 'Cept he's not a pervert. He has a love interest named Kagome, but doesn't want to admit it, so he acts all mean to her and calls her 'wench' and wants really badly to be a bad guy but isn't. And Kagome pretends she doesn't like him, but she does."
Kurama blinked. "Okay." Then something struck him. "What do you mean, a pervert?"
Twilight giggled. "Haven't you ever been on ? Even if Youko isn't really that much of a pervert on the show, he still is in a lot of fanfics. It's funny."
Kurama blinked again. "Fanfiction...dot net?" He was confused. This was an odd occurrence. He was not often confused. Kurama decided he didn't really like Twilight. She was confusing.
"Do you have something in your eye?" Twilight asked the kitsune, who had zoned out. As he looked surprised, she grinned, then pivoted and ran off, making plane noises. Bandit, who had laid low the entire time, jumped onto the girl's head and watched the others as her owner ran off.
Crystal, Kurama, Hiei, and Yusuke watched in silence, slightly alarmed. They started to follow her, when suddenly they heard a loud yell. They all looked quickly at each other, and ran off in the general direction Twilight had gone. Yusuke powered up his spirit gun, Kurama grabbed his rose, and Crystal made sure she could jump behind either of them.
Twilight was standing, backed up against a tree in yet another clearing. Across the clearing, a boy with white hair and a large, fang-like sword in front of a girl who looked about the same age with long black hair holding a bow and arrow glanced at the others as they arrived.
"Great, more idiots," the boy with white hair grumbled. Crystal's eyes were widening. Kurama and Yusuke were worried. They didn't think eyes should be able to get so far open. Suddenly Crystal raced toward the boy and grabbed his dog ears, which nobody had really noticed before.
"KAWAII!" she screamed, making the boy wince, especially because it was right next to his ears. "EARS! FLUFFY! YOU'RE INU-YASHA!" Then she turned and said less enthusiastically, "and you're Kagome. I'm Crystal."
"How do you know our names?!" The girl, now identified as Kagome, said in shocked tones. "Are you a demon or something?"
"No," Crystal said cheerfully. "I just know everything. I am...uh...the creator! I created you and your love interest who you won't admit is your love interest. And them," she added, jerking a thumb at Kurama, Twilight, Yusuke, and Hiei. Kurama looked a little confused, Yusuke looked annoyed, and Hiei still didn't have any expression. Twilight, however, looked murderous. She didn't appreciate her friend saying she had created her.
"HAAAAAA!" Twilight ran toward Inu-Yasha and Crystal, thoroughly vexed. Lifting her hands up to hit Crystal on the head, she put almost all her strength in them. Except for one thing. She missed.
"Ha! Haha! Missed me!"
Twilight merely smirked. She put ALMOST all her force into her hands. Pulling her hands out from behind her back, she showed them her prize; the Tetsusaiga.
"What the hell did you do, wench?!" Inu-Yasha yelled, shaking off Crystal easily and charging at Twilight. The girl, obviously scared, ducked his flying kick with difficulty and sprinted behind Hiei, Yusuke, and Kurama, dropping the sword. Inu-Yasha started sprinting toward them, grabbing the sword on his way.
"What the heck ARE you doing, girl?!" Yusuke yelled. "WE never asked to be involved in this! Why the heck did you have to go and grab his sword?! And how the heck did you succeed?!"
"JUST WHOSE SIDE ARE YOU ON, YUSUKE?!" Twilight retorted angrily from behind the angry fourteen-year-old. Yusuke had no time to respond as they all dodged an attack from the hanyou.
"SPIRIT GUN!"
"What the hell?!" Inu-Yasha yelled as he tried to dodge unsuccessfully. He did, however, manage to escape the brunt of the attack. Shaken, the dog demon stared at Yusuke. "What the heck are you? I can tell you're not a demon!"
"Rose Whip!" The thorny whip extended as Kurama descended from his high jump. Inu-Yasha stared at him.
"What the hell is going on here?" Inu-Yasha said, shaking his head. Kagome was still behind him, but she had fallen backwards.
Twilight turned to Hiei. "Gah, you're the only one left. DEFEND ME, MUNCHKIN!"
Hiei looked at her with disdain and some anger in his face. "Onna no baka..."
"HAA!" Inu-Yasha yelled, charging Twilight, who uttered a short "Meep!" and jumped behind Hiei, which didn't work as she was about three inches taller than him. Hiei automatically drew his katana with ease and jumped. Twilight also dodged, leaping haphazardly away.
Inu-Yasha landed, golden eyes narrowed as he looked around. Suddenly a black form flashed before his eyes. A moment later he felt cold metal crash against the side of his head; not slicing, only knocking him down. The dog demon fell over sideways, unconscious. Kagome cried out, and Hiei did the same to her.
"Good God, Hiei," Crystal said, breaking the silence that had encompassed them. "What that really necessary? You really need to get over this...obsession."
Hiei scoffed, unconcerned by Crystal's evaluation. "I don't know what you're talking about, baka."
Crystal shook her head sympathetically. "Denial...that's the first sign."
---
"There," Crystal said smugly as she finished wrapping a makeshift bandage over the unconscious Inu-Yasha's wound. Twilight, with the help of her cat, was trying to wake up Kagome. As she failed repeatedly, she gave up and merely lounged around, watching all of the people present.
"Hello," said a certain toddler, appearing out of absolutely nowhere. He looked around critically and wrinkled his nose. He didn't notice the surprised expressions on Crystal and Twilight's faces. "I'm Koenma, if you didn't know." He looked at the two girls. "You must be Twilight and Crystal. I have a few things to say. Sit down."
"You girls fell into our world by falling over a tree root, correct?" The girls nodded, and he continued. "Well, there are some problems about that. It has something to do with your DNA. You see, you come from what you call the 'real world,' and to you, it's true. However, in your DNA there is a small substance that ascertains you are from this world, and this is what allows you to move freely in that world, and will eventually help you get back. The only glitch is: DNA can be taken from you, and there are demons that would do that to get to your world. They can do that. All they have to do is catch you, and capture some DNA. It wouldn't take more than a single hair.
"Then there is the subject of how you got HERE in the first place. I have narrowed down the possibilities, and found the most likely. In your world, I presume we are a TV show, and a manga, as well as in many other worlds. Well, I have assumed that from watching, reading, and enjoying these shows so much and so often, a small imprint of the 'anime' world pressed itself into that substance in your DNA.
"That, paired with the proper time, place, and situation could get you almost anywhere. For instance, when Crystal fell over that root, she was thinking about anime. Actually, Yusuke in particular. She was thinking about his...uh...hair style, and about how stupid it was." At this moment, Yusuke glared at the blonde girl. "After turning around, and realizing Crystal wasn't there, Twilight thought about finding her friend. But this thought was undermined by a thought about how much she hates yaoi fanfictions pairing Hiei and Kurama." The two mentioned looked abashed. "Though she fell into the same world, she didn't fall into the exact same place. Instead, she fell into the immediate vicinity of Hiei and Kurama. As for falling into THIS world, well, it was just a matter of going down the well."
Pretty much everyone in the immediate vicinity was staring at Crystal and Twilight, who were staring back. Well, Crystal was, anyway. Twilight was dreaming of all the things she could do with her newly discovered talent.
Suddenly, Yusuke looked concerned. "My cookie senses are tingling." Twilight tackled him in a flying leap.
"COOKIES! COOKIES! I WANT COOKIES! I WANT SUGARY PRODUCTS THAT WILL DO NO GOOD FOR ME EXCEPT MAKE ME HYPER, LOWER MY METABOLISM AND SEND ME TO AN EARLY GRAVE!"
Yusuke pried the girl off him. "Good Kami-sama, no one can take a joke the right way these days. I meant I sensed a demon. Whoever it is, they're really powerful."
Everyone hustled over to the well and jumped in. Crystal followed after a moment, dragging Inu-Yasha.
It was pretty uncomfortable in the well once everyone had arrived, especially since there were six people in there. Then Twilight realized something.
"Crystal, you supreme baka, you left Kagome behind!"
"How am I supposed to bring both of them?!"
"Fine! I'll go get her myself!" And Twilight hopped back in the well to fetch Kagome. Except when she got there, she realized she had a problem. She couldn't get out of the well. Walking around in a circle, banging her head against the wall, and wishing she had a cookie to eat, she was pulled out of thought by her cat, who she had forgotten was sitting on her head. The animal meowed at her loudly. She jumped, then jumped again when she heard a voice. And not the one of the nice ones she heard in her head.
"Show yourself."
Silence.
A sigh, then a restive tapping of claws against the wood of the dry well. "Do not be a fool, mortal. At the very least, not as much as your race can be."
"I'm not mortal." The voice came in an odd sing-song tone. The sound of tapping became louder.
"Milord, methinks the lass is not planning on letting her self be known."
"Don't bother me Jaken. Not with things I already know." The voice was cold and expressionless. Twilight shivered despite her childish parade. "Answer me, mortal. My claws are not patient."
"I'm not mortal..."
"You are indeed a fool, ningen. I should not need to bother with impertinent dolts. Why need Sesshomaru kill no more than a dust particle? Jaken, I desire you to kill her."
"Yes, milord." A small whoosh sounded from outside the well. From the information the girl had gathered, this was most likely the Staff of Heads. Jaken's toad-like head appeared at the top of the well. "Well, aren't you an odd one to not be mortal."
"I'M A GREEN PENGUIN FROM AUSTRALIA!" Twilight yelled as she vehemently jumped up, wishing for the ability to jump as high as anime characters. It didn't work, so she started clawing into the wall and climbing. It worked for the most part. She reached the top, panting heavily, and was confronted by Jaken. She gripped the Staff of Heads tightly, balancing precariously on the tip of the well. Behind the expressionless Sesshomaru and the bewildered Jaken, she glimpsed at the still unconscious Kagome. Looking around desperately, she jumped over Jaken.
"Aaargh!" Jaken grabbed Twilight's ankles as she was about to charge to Kagome. The girl fell face forward on the ground, giving herself a nosebleed. For one precious moment, she let go of the staff to slow the bleeding. Jaken was on it in a moment, like a terrier to its favorite toy. It became a desperate game of tug-o-war, Jaken determined if only not to be punished by Sesshomaru, Twilight as a matter of possible death for herself and Kagome. Behind them Sesshomaru watched, only a small glint of what seemed to be amusement in his cold eyes.
"WHAT IS TAKING YOU SO LONG, GIRL?! SOME OF US HAVE LIVES TO GET BACK TO, UNLIKE YOU!" came a familiar voice from the well.
All the action-y adventure mood of the moment immediately disappeared. It went poof and vanished into thin air, leaving a cloud of dust. Yusuke climbed out of the well, scowling fiercely. Enough to rival Hiei, almost. Twilight, being the odd person that she is, forgot instantly about keeping the Staff of Heads.
"Hi, Yusuke!" she said cheerily in an almost perfect replica of Botan, and waved. Jaken, who had been hanging on, fell off as she energetically shook it. It was almost as if she was purposely trying to shake him off. Which she probably would have done, if she had enough common sense. Sesshomaru was momentarily surprised (which he would not have been if the author hadn't started to get bored. We'll say he was distracted by Yusuke. Maybe he sensed that Yusuke was incredibly powerful.) Either taking advantage of this, or merely having a sudden impulse Twilight ran past him quickly, reaching Kagome, grabbing her shoulders and trying to drag her back.
"Jaken, retrieve the Staff of Heads." Sesshomaru's voice rang cold and clear. The toady moaned a little and turned over. Sesshomaru's golden eyes flashed in annoyance. But Twilight had reached the well, surprisingly quickly, and was trying to get Kagome in it.
"WATCH OUT BELOW!" Kagome went crashing down the well.
"WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT?!"
"Kagome, of course. Don't be silly."
"Oh, of course. I really appreciate having a teen girl dropped on me. Thanks SO much, Twilight."
"You're welcome."
---With Inu-Yasha---
Inu-Yasha groaned as his eyes slowly opened. His head hurt. A lot.
"About time! You've been out for about an hour now."
"What?" Inu-Yasha moaned, still half asleep. "Who are you? Where's Kagome?"
"I already told you. I'm Crystal. And as for Kagome...she's...well...places. I don't really know." She blinked at him, concerned. "You look like you're in pain."
He rolled his eyes. "Gee, how'd you guess?" he said sarcastically. Crystal picked up his sarcasm. For once.
"Take these with a glass of water," Crystal said, handing him two round pills. When he looked at them curiously, she explained. "They're pain killers. They...kill pain."
He glared at her skeptically. "I don't need your help, wench."
Crystal went blank for a minute, then forced a smile. She stood up, "accidentally" kicking his sore spot, at which he yelped. "Alright then. Have fun taking care of your own wounds!" She slammed the door behind her, then proceeded to see if they're was anything to eat. Bandaging, irritating, and kicking hanyous was hungry work.
---The brunette who is gifted with dumb luck---
"Here we are," Twilight said cheerfully as Yusuke lowered Kagome onto a mat. Ignoring the fact that Kagome was unconscious, and couldn't hear her.
Yusuke glared balefully at Twilight. "Will your supremeness let me go now?" he asked in a mock respectful tone. But Twilight was not particularly perceptive right now, and merely nodded, and went on looking for ice.

Crystal: (Rolls eyes.) Write more.
Spell: Nope!
Crystal: (Evil eyes.)
Spell: 0.0;; (Shakes head quickly.) Anyway, Crystal and I have been
debating and would like to ask you readers something.
Crystal: Get on with it already.
Spell: Yes, as I was saying, we wanted to know if you peoples wanted pairings.
Crystal: Yay! Pair me with Inu-chan! n.n
Twilight: AHEM! Anyway, just as a note, it has to be OC/bishie, Kagome/Inu-Yasha, or Yusuke/Keiko pairing, as Keiko, Kagome, Crystal and I will be the only female, well, MAIN female characters. (Lofty expression.) We're very important.
Crystal: Yes, we are VERY special indeed.
Spell: All in our own ways.
Crystal: (Hits Spell.)
Spell: GACK! THAT HURT! Anyway, just tell me in a review whether you think we should have pairings or not. If you do, next chapter we will vote on what pairings to have.
Crystal: Forget Kagome! I want to be with Inu-Yasha!
Spell: (Ties Crystal up and gags her.)
Crystal: Mmmpph mpph mmph mpph mmmmmmph! (Translation: I hate you so much!)
Spell: Yeah, don't they all...
