The Lord of the Demons

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or Lord of the Rings. But, oh dear God, I wish I did. Inuyasha belongs to the great Rumiko Takahashi, and the Lord of the Rings belongs to the wonderful J.R.R. Tolkien or Peter Jackson...

Sorry if the characters, both from Inuyasha and Lord of the Rings, are a bit OOC.

Ch. 1: Concerning Hanyous

"I'm going back home, whether you like it or not, Inuyasha!" A frustrated girl in a school uniform was riding her bike as fast as she could to a certain well.

"I'm coming with you, whether you like it or not!" A dog-eared, silver-haired, demon was running after her. Usually Inuyasha never even suggested following Kagome to her time, but this time was different. He wanted to see why she always wanted to go back there.

"Inuyasha, you have to let me go! I have to go home to go to school!" the girl shouted as she jumped into the Bone Eater's Well.

"I don't care, Kagome! You just came back! Either you don't go at all, or I'm coming with you!" The stubborn hanyou jumped into the well after Kagome.

"Wh-Where are we?!" a shocked Kagome asked. This can't be right!

"I don't think this is your shrine, Kagome," Inuyasha said, stating the obvious, as he usually did.

"Well, duh!" Kagome said rolling her eyes, exasperated. Sighing she thought, Ugh! Sometimes Inuyasha can be such a pain... But the half-demon was right. They were not in her shrine. In fact, it didn't even look like Japan!

As they climbed out of the well they noticed that there were beautiful, sweeping hilltops covered in rich, green grass. And they saw little people, the size of midgets, walking around the quaint little town.

Kagome gazed in wonder. It's beautiful. She noticed a sign nearby. "It says: Hobbiton- The Shire," she read.

"What's with the midgets?" Inuyasha asked.

"Why are you asking me this? I'm just as clueless as you!"

"Feh! I'm not clueless, wench," Inuyasha stated. Kagome just ignored him. It was pointless to continue arguing.

As they climbed out of the well, Inuyasha noticed that everyone was staring at them- mostly at him. Kagome grasped that none of these little creatures had probably ever seen a demon before, half or not.

"Uh, Inuyasha...I really don't feel comfortable about this..." Kagome whispered to the hanyou beside her.

"Me neither. I don't think they have any demons in this place. We had better go around the busiest part of this town. I don't want to be spotted by any other villagers," Inuyasha agreed.

Inuyasha helped Kagome onto his back and then took off. He ran faster than any human or "midget" could. Finally stopping, Inuyasha took a closer look at their surroundings. There were a few small houses. Or were they dens? Cautiously, they peeked into the window of one, where an older "midget" was eagerly writing upon a piece of paper.

"Now where to begin? Ah, yes!" The "midget" started scribbling again. "'Concerning Hobbits'."

Inuyasha's fuzzy ears twitched. "What's a Hobbit?" he asked Kagome.

"Ah! That must be what he and all the other 'midgets' are!" Kagome's eyes lit up with excitement. Well that's one riddle solved. "Now be quiet. I want to hear what he's writing, since he's reading aloud."

The Hobbit continued, "Hobbits have been living and farming in the four Farthings of the Shire for many hundreds of years, quite content to ignore and be ignored by the world of the Big Folk. Middle Earth being, after all, full of strange creatures beyond count..."

"Middle Earth!" Kagome whispered in amazement. "That's even before your time, Inuyasha!" (A/N Isn't it?)

And still the Hobbit continued writing. "...Hobbits must seem of little importance, being neither renowned as great warriors, nor counted among the very wise." He stopped to laugh at his writing.

There was a knock at the door, and he called out for someone named Frodo to answer it, then continued writing. "In fact, it has been remarked by some that Hobbits' only real passion is for food. A rather unfair observation, as we have also developed a keen interest in the brewing of ales and the smoking of pipe-weed. But where our hearts truly lie is in peace and quiet, and good, tilled earth. For all Hobbits share a love for things that grow. And yes, no doubt to others, our ways seem quaint. But today of all days, it is brought home to me: It is no bad thing to celebrate a simple life."

Another knock was heard, and the Hobbit sighed. "Frodo, the door! Sticklebacks! Where is that boy? Frodo!"

"Hey, Kagome. Maybe we had better go find this Hobbit, Frodo. Maybe he can help us," Inuyasha suggested, pleased that he now knew about these creatures.

"Couldn't hurt," Kagome agreed. She looked once more into the window of the Hobbit. This fellow looks a little too busy right now.

With a slight nod to Kagome, Inuyasha took off with her on his back to go find this "Frodo".
