Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters used in this story with the exception of Lina.

I was so stuck on who I was going to have show up.....I got stuck between a few people but ultimately decided on the one I'm using for some obvious reasons that I hope you guys will see. If you don't feel free to ask questions and I'll answer them. Also if anyone has questions about Lina....please ask. I'll make her tell you even though she hates explaining anything. Well, we'll answer if I can tell you without revealing anything in the story.

"blah" -English

"blah" - Japanese

blah - Kurama/Yohko talking to each other.


Unsure of what to think of this red haired guy sitting next to her and talking as if they had been friends for years, Lina held a curious look on her face. She had to admit that he wasn't treating her like any of the others around her, which was refreshing for her. Their conversation ended though as they both stood up, Lina caught the scent of a very familiar person. Someone who was certainly going to cause trouble for not only herself but for the rest of her group as well.

"Can you do me a favor and go get the rest of the people I came with?" Lina never asked favors of anyone in situations like this, she always told others to just do it. Yet since he treated her differently, she was going to do the same to him. A quick glance over her shoulder though showed her that he wasn't budging for anything. She could admire that in a person. Hell she did it all the time when it came to facing the Brotherhood at Bayville High or anyone there.

She took a few cautious steps forward before crossing her arms over her stomach. "I know you're there....your scent gives away where you are."

Why did he have to show up here? I wonder who else he brought with him and if they're gonna learn their lesson this time around. Lina thought to herself as the person finally showed themselves. She shakes her head a little as she couldn't believe that it was that easy to get this particular mutant out of his hiding spot.

"Guess the runt has been teaching you a few good things....might have to thank him for that another time." Came the deep, almost gruff voice of the tall blonde haired mutant now several feet in front of her and the red haired boy that she really wished she knew the name of now. His claws were always out and he had a smirk on his face that always made Lina think he enjoyed the taunting, which she knew he did.

"What are you doing here old man? And where are the other lackeys? You don't travel alone all the time." Lina replied quickly as she uncrosses her arms. Out of the corner of her eyes, she can see the guy reach up to his hair. Shaking her head she kept her attention on Sabertooth. "Though it really isn't your style to work in a team. You're more of the type to go off on his own and do the job so you don't have distractions, right?"

"You just don't know when to shut your mouth do you, Kid....something I don't have a problem with fixin' for ya." He growled out as he leapt towards her. Lina was ready for it though and did a quick back flip to land on the edge of the well. Something she wasn't ready for was seeing a whip come out of nowhere to encircle around Sabertooth's neck.

"You're exactly like the runt! Never able to take me on by yourself.....I can't even call you my kid can I?!" Came the insulting growl that enraged Lina. True, he was her father yet she never thought of him that way. Though she also never thought of Logan that way, that thought really kind of creeped her out for several reasons she wasn't going to tell to anyone.

Launching herself off of the well, she landed against Sabertooth and sent them both crashing to the ground. He hadn't truly been expecting that as he was still busy getting distracted by whip boy in the distance. Pinning him to the ground, Lina punched him time and time again. Each punch filled with so much anger that she had been holding in for so many years.

"I wouldn't want you to call me your kid no matter what! At least at like him and nothing like you! He's a saint compared to the things you've done in your life Creed!"


Kurama wasn't sure how to react to everything going on right then. He did keep his calm and used most of his strength to hold the large man back as he attacked Lina. Kurama was more than sure for some reason that this young woman could handle herself with ease against one like this man. At least he thought she did until she lunged at him with nothing but anger resonating off of her.

That is not good....if she doesn't get control of her anger then he will surely beat her. The Yohko stated simply that Kurama did not give a reply to. Instead he started to move to the two on the ground only to be stopped by a small explosion at his feet.

"Sorry mon ami but this is a fight that one shouldn't break up. Family fights are best when they are worked out, wouldn't you agree?" Kurama looked behind him to see the man that the voice came from. He had red hair that was much darker than his own that it almost had a brownish tint to it. His eyes, Kurama at first mistook for youkai eyes, were red and black. His voice was thick with a French accent.

This man seemed to be allies with the man Lina was currently fighting with, yet his scent was more amused yet serious than the first's. "No, not when the fight results to violence as it seems to have done. Though I have no problem going through you to get her away from the two of you."

Kurama had no idea why he was coming to her aid, maybe it was because he felt he knew her in some way yet it was also the fact that he didn't think she should be left alone for any amount of time with these two so that help could be gotten. Kurama could still hear Lina pounding on the man as he withdrew his rose whip from his throat. Standing in a defensive position now, Kurama waited for the second attacker to strike so he could determine just how skilled he was.

He didn't have to wait long as the man pulled out a few playing cards? Kurama had seen strange things, what was he going to do throw them at him and try to cut him? He watched in curiosity as the cards were charged up with energy and then launched at him. With quick reflexes Kurama moved out of the way and slashed the cards in half with his whip.

"Ah, you have skill. Let's see how well you can really do in close combat." The French man, or at least Kurama assumed he was French, said with a smirk as he charged at Kurama. Guarding against his attacks was easy enough, yet he was coming at him so quickly that Kurama barely had enough time to throw in any of his own attacks.

"Get off of me girl!!!!" That shout distracted Kurama for a brief instant that allowed his attacker to land a blow on him. Doubling over and holding his midsection, his wind was knocked out of him. His attention though was on Lina and her adversary, though not for long as he stood up clutching Lina by the throat. She fought against him even as he threw her in Kurama's direction.

Bracing himself, Kurama tried his best to catch her without flying towards anything. Without knowing the man's strength it was hard to actually do though and Kurama failed. The two of them went flying and then crashing through one of the walls of the well. The force from that only made them hit the other side and then fall down the well.

It was strange as they fell, they didn't seem to hit the bottom like they should have. If they weren't being surrounded by some kind of strange light and Kurama wasn't keeping a hold of Lina's unconscious form he would have used his rose whip to get them back to the top. Finally after several more moments, they came to a stop not with a loud crash or anything but a slight thud. They were still in the well though the side they had crashed through was back in place.


This is where I end this chapter. I'm sorry if it kind of sucks. I have never written a fight scene out and was having a few problems doing it. Hope everyone likes the two I chose to show up and cause a little trouble.

For the next chapter, I'm taking a break from telling it in Lina and Kurama's p.o.v. so that it can be told through a couple of other people's. That and I wanted to kind get you guys involved on something. I would like to know who you think Lina and Kurama should first meet from the Inu-Yasha gang once they climb out of the well. So let me know....please.

Also, I promise that Hiei, Yusuke, and Logan will get to kick some butt in this story and even though I like Kuwabra (Yes I like him) he won't be a big character in this story after the next couple of chapters.
