InuYasha: You've got to be kidding.
Erk: Yeah. I'm stuck with you idiots.
Canas: Erk don't be so mean!
InuYasha: Yeah!
Erk: -casts Fimbulvtr-
InuYasha: -frozen-
Me: ...Read and Review!
Lord Eliwood's army was traveling about Lycia, in search for Eilwood's father who had mysteriously disappeared. A shaman named Canas was practicing a dark magic spell. Matthew, Guy, Lucius and Erk were all watching.
Canas: -chanting spell, it doesn't work-
Guy: C'mon, Canas, keep trying!
Canas: Well, I suppose I'll try a few more times...
Everyone Else: Yeah!
Canas: -chanting spell again-
Suddenly a large portal appeared out of nowhere and it began to suck the five men in. Soon they all found themselves tumbling through the portal at half the speed of light (literally) when suddenly everyone (except Guy) saw a bright light at the end, and they all flew out onto the ground.
"Ohhh... where are we?" Erk asked, scratching his head. He looked up to see a rainbow of different people.
First, the one that appeared to be the leader had long silver hair and dog ears. He head an odd red outfit (I know, it's a kimono) and a sheath on his hip. The sleeves were very long and covered his hands. His eyes were yellow, and he had an odd look upon his face.
The second one had odder clothes. A green collar and a white shirt with red ribbons or something below the collar, with a green skirt and brown shoes. She had black hair and kind, brown eyes.
The third one was a monk like Lucius, but they couldn't tell. He had a long black robe and black hair, like the girl. There was some in a small ponytail and he had a staff resting on his shoulder. He had a small boy on his shoulder. He had hair about the same color as Matthew's and a blue kimono, with a vest about the same color as his hair. He had a big bushy tail and his hair was in a bun-thing on his head.
The third one was also a girl, and she looked to be a little older than the first one. She had an array of colors on her outfit (too many for me to name), and a gigantic boomerang on her back. She had her long black hair in a loose ponytail. The expression on her face was about the same as Erk's. She had an itty-bitty little cat on her shoulder. It had pale beige fur and two tails.
"Who are you?" asked the leader.
"First thing," said Erk, brushing dust off his red cloak. "Where are we?"
"You're in feudal Japan," said the younger girl.
"Feudal...Japan?" Canas asked curiously.
"You know...Japan of ancient times." They all looked at her with a confused look on their faces.
The one with the staff sighed. "We've got a lot of explaining to do."
Later
They were all sitting around a fire eating stew that the older girl had made.
"So..." the leader said, "you're all from a place called 'Elibe'?"
"That's right," Matthew said.
"And you're names are...?" asked the monk.
Guy introduced them. "This is Canas. He's real smart, and a student of elder magic. Matthew-"
"I'll introduce myself," Matthew said with a smirk. "My name is Matthew. I pick locks, find secrets, pillage....you know, that kind of thing."
"That sounds like..." the monk began.
"This is Lucius. He's a monk."
"A monk...?" the other monk said curiously. "Well, you certainly don't look like one...."
"What do you know?" Matthew said.
"'What do I know?' I, myself am a monk!"
Lucius just blinked a few times, but he didn't say anything.
"Anyway..." Guy continued, "Erk is an anima mage. He studies nature magic, and he not too bad at it! And my name is Guy. I'm studying to be the best swordsman there is!"
"Well," the fox-boy said, "you're gonna have to beat InuYasha to get there!"
"Who?" Guy asked.
"Well," the young girl said, "we better introduce ourselves. My name is Kagome. I'm from the future, many many years from now. This is InuYasha. He's half dog-demon, but he's got kind of an...attitude. This is Miroku. As you know, he's a monk."
"But-" Lucius began. He didn't want to continue.
"This is Sango. She's a demon exterminator. And this is her pet cat-demon, Kirara."
"Ahem," the little boy said.
"And this is Shippo. He's a fox-demon from the mountains."
Erk decided to change the subject. "So, may we join you? At least until someone finds a way to get us back to Elibe?" he glared at Canas when he finished.
"Well, all you wanted me to do it!!" Canas said angrily.
"Hey," Shippo piped up. "Where's the lock-picker?"
"You mean Matthew?" Lucius said. "I don't know."
Turns out Matthew was rummaging through Kagome's backpack. He saw a jar with two sparking jewels in it. He unscrewed the lid and took one of the shards out.
"What's this?" he asked. He put it back in the jar and put the lid back on. He went off to ask Kagome about it.
"Hey Kagome!" Matthew called. "What's this?" he held up the jar.
Kagome gasped. "Where did you find those??" she asked frantically.
She sounds scared that I found these, he thought. Think of a lie.
" I found them next to your little bag-thing."
"Here! I need to put them back!" Kagome grabbed the jar and ran off. Matthew grabbed her shoulder.
"What's the rush?" he asked casually.
"Uhhhh... these, um..."
"What's the point in lying if you can't think of anything?" InuYasha asked.
Kagome sighed. She told Matthew and the others about the legend of the Sacred Shikon Jewel and what happened fifty years ago. There was a priestess named Kikyo, who protected the Sacred Jewel. She and InuYasha were pretty close until InuYasha took the Sacred Jewel and how Kikyo bound him to the tree. She told them about how the Jewel could enhance the power of humans and demons, and who was after it.
"And, you are this priestess's reincarnation?" Canas asked.
"That's right," Kagome said.
"And what's your story?" InuYasha asked.
Everyone except Canas knew about Lady Lyndis and how she was Marquess Caelin's granddaughter, but her granduncle Lundgren was trying to make the marquess dead so he could claim the throne. Then there was Lord Eliwood's Tale a year later, on how how his father Elbert mysteriously disappeared and how they were currently trying to find Valor, or the Dragon's Gate, to find Eliwood's father.
"And, well, I suppose that's pretty much it," Erk said.
"Well, that's...interesting," Sango said.
"Well, thanks a lot," Erk said sarcatically.
Guy yawned. "Wow, I'm tired. Where do you guys camp out?"
"Pick a spot in the field," InuYasha replied, with a laugh.
Guy looked at him nervously. "Um, okay..."
InuYasha's gang laughed. "We've set up a nice little campsite there, and we're all about to go in." Miroku explained.
Soon, everyone was in bed and asleep, ready for tomorrow....
Me: Yeah, I'm done! Go me!
Erk: There's going to be more chapters, right?
Me: Yup.
Canas: I really want to go back to Lycia...
Me: Wow, sucks to be you. R&R!
