A/N: lizzieXmarieXyoukai you're the only one who reviewed twice and I just want to say it's greatly appreciated I at least know your reading my story still. Here's the next chapter.


Recap:

"Rogue! Jamie! Where are you?" he called," This is so very NOT funny!"

"Hey you!" Kouga called," Shut up!"

The guy turned around," Hey you? Name's Pietro of the Brotherhood of evil mutants and I'm the fastest mutant around so unless you want trouble I suggest you leave me be to search for my friends," he wasn't ashamed to be a mutant, he flaunted it actually.

Chapter four: Speed demons and untrustworthy allies


Unfortunately Kouga and his clan had no idea what a mutant was," I'm Kouga of the wolf demon tribe and I'm the fastest demon there is, and what the hell is a mutant?"

Pietro laughed amused," I'm a mutant and where I'm from I'm known as the speed demon."

"I thought you said you were a mutant?" Hakkaku asked confused.

"And I thought you said you were a demon and we all know there's no such thing as a…" he stopped in mid sentence.

A slow vibrating rumble came from beneath Pietro. Surprised by the sudden movement Pietro did nothing, if he were at home he would have blamed Lance, or Fred maybe even Wanda, but he wasn't at home. Just when the noise and movement stopped Pietro let out a breath thinking it was over, he looked down thankful but then the ground split. He raised an eyebrow and before he could do anything else he felt a powerful force ram into him from below and suddenly he found himself flying. Lucky for him he wasn't too rusty on training other wise he's have landed in pain, instead he landed hard on his feet, it still hurt but not as much as it would have. He looked behind him to see the largest, ugliest hedgehog he'd ever seen. His mouth fell…this thing was bigger than Juggernaut, at least twice his size. Another thing was it had clothes on, armor is seemed. Reality hit him, Kouga was really a demon, and he wasn't any longer in a familiar world.

"D-DEMON!" he yelled and pointed.

Kouga looked at him," No shit." He sped towards the demon.

Pietro watched still shocked as Kouga ran in circles around the demon, a small powerful wind trapped him, it resembled a tornado. Kouga kept running waiting for the demon to be overpowered and be tossed aside by the winds he created. It wasn't strong enough, he wasn't strong enough and the demon shot a spike at him. It went right past Kouga's face and landed in a tree next to Pietro's face. Pietro yelped and a sudden wave of adrenalin hit him. He couldn't stay still anymore; he was trained and had been fighting for years. He took off running towards the demon doing what Kouga was just recently trying to do. Kouga watched as Pietro begun to do a better job then he himself.

"Guys hold on to something!" Kouga demanded.

Hakkaku and Ginta held onto a tree securing themselves by holding onto each others forearm. The wolves formed a circle around the same tree and bit down on each others tails forming a chain. Kouga joined Pietro in running circles around the demon, he was sure Pietro could do it himself but he wasn't about to let it happen. Soon the demon began to be lifted off the ground, anything within, what Pietro would have called, a football field began to be sucked into this massive tornado. The demon was soon flown off into a distance and Pietro stopped, his adrenalin was wearing off and he was feeling drained. It had been so long since he actually found himself frightened, the feeling must have not settled to well in his gut.

"No such things as demons huh?" Kouga replied.

Pietro glared," Not where I'm from!"

"And just where are you from? Not from around here you're dressed funny." He pointed out.

"New York," Pietro wanted to see if the name would ring a bell it didn't so he tried again," North America?" still no response," The United States?" No luck," Earth!" he groaned frustrated," The large island on the other side of the world from China…Japan," he was simply rambling now.

"Hey Kouga, Isn't Kagome from Japan?" Ginta asked remembering the world slip from her lips before.

Kouga turned around and growled," Shut up Ginta!"

Pietro knew he was getting somewhere," Ginta huh? You going to let this guy order you around like that?"

"Well," Ginta scratched the back of his head and Kouga glared," Yeah he's our leader."

"And? A Leader can't be a leader without followers and if you don't follow he can't lead." He smirked.

"Shut up Mutant!" Kouga growled angered. "How dare you try and set my tribe against me."

"He has a point," Hakkaku replied thinking about it.

"WHAT!" Kouga turned to his followers.

"I was only saying," Hakkaku shrunk under Kouga's eye. "I would never challenge you Kouga."

Pietro sighed," Where is this Kagome?" he decided to ask when no one was necessarily watching their tongue.

"Traveling," Ginta answered without thinking, when he realized what he said he groaned.

"I'll be on my way now," Pietro smirked and ran off.

"No way am I letting you near Kagome!" Kouga went after him.

Hakkaku and Ginta watched as they say two lines of dust forming where ever they ran, they watched amazed as they took random turns, and sometimes ran in circles.

"Hey Hakkaku, do you think Kouga realizes that Kagome travels the other way?"

"I don't know, how long do you think it'll be before either one get tired?"

"Your guess is as good as mine, should we head to warn Kagome?" Ginta asked.

"Yeah."

The group of them left without their leader towards Kagome, hoping that if they did this Kouga would forget about this whole incident of then second guessing his word and leadership. Off in a cave not too far away three figures could be seen.

"Baise (Fuck)," One cursed as he felt so disoriented. "R-rogue dat you?" he replied to the other figure he heard moving.

Before she could respond Remy pulled out a card and charged it making it glow and lighting up the area around him. What he saw angered him, or actually who he didn't see. Mystique was rubbing her temples as she felt just as disoriented as he had. As soon as he saw her he knew he'd been chasing her for the entire time and not Rogue.

"You!" he replied angered.

His hand shook as he held himself in check, he was still a gentleman and this was above all else a woman and he wouldn't dare hit a woman unless it was something that needed to be done. The light on the cave walls shook as his hand did, he had been tricked so easily it angered him, he knew better than that. Mystique groaned and mumbled a curse to herself as she realized she blew it.

"Yes me Mystique," he replied re-introduced herself. She stood up and looked around," Where are we?"

Remy pushed her against the wall his free hand loosely around her throat. He came close to her bringing the card next to her face. The heat that generated from the card almost hurt her.

"Why trick dis' Cajun?" was all he really wanted to know at the moment.

She smirked; his being aggressive wouldn't scare her. She brought a hand up and hit him at the bend of his arm, she used her other hand to bring his own hand to his own face, and the card was now close to his face. He uncharged the card and swung his leg low to the ground to trip her, she predicted he would do that ad jumped up, he had also predicted her movements and brought his knee to her gut, he didn't hit her he just held her there once again against the cave wall.

She laughed," I have my reasons and don't think Magneto had anything to do with it. He charged the card again, she saw his angry expression," You want to hurt me don't you, I know that look. I hurt your male ego didn't I, you were tricked so easily and you know you can't blame me."

Silence fell over them but it was shirt lived as both of their trained senses picked up another person nearby. They also picked up something else but couldn't identify it but acted on instinct. Remy threw his charged card and watched as pink met with purple and a mild explosion took place. The cave was small so the heat wasn't easily avoided; the smell of something burning filled their noses. It wasn't too bad considering Remy hadn't charged it too much. He and Mystique knew their best bet was to get outside; they hurried towards the opening of the cave and looked inside for anything moving. Not only did something move but a woman came out. The third figure in the cave.

"What is your business?" she demanded, it was Kikyo.

She was shocked three times over, the man managed to stop her purified arrow, he had strange eyes like a demon but his aura said he wasn't a demon, the woman was blue and looked like a demon but her aura said she wasn't a demon as well. She knew right off the back this had something to do with Inuyasha being at the lake, she had no proof but she had instincts. Plus they were wearing weird clothing, the man wore weird pants a thin shirt and odd jacket while the woman wore a series of white allover. (Yeah she went back to her old uniform)

"Why should we answer, I have no doubt that it was you that attacked us first," Mystique replied looking at the clothes the woman wore trying to figure out where she could be.

Kikyo knew for a fact they weren't demons now, they would've smelt her clay body and knew. She had a feeling Inuyasha would come looking for these two and she didn't quite know what to do. I could make them befriend me that way when Inuyasha comes for them they'll stay with me, which would ruin whatever plans he has for them. I think it better I befriend them, they stopped my arrow which proved their strength. I could use them to rid myself of Naraku. She thought.

"I apologize but I assumed you were a demon." She replied.

Remy and Mystique looked her over, she showed no signs of lying but they had no clue she was really dead, you can't tell if a dead person is lying or not. Remy looked at Mystique.

"The woman's crazy talking demons," she replied.

"Look at yourself, your blue with yellow eyes and no pupils," Remy replied then looked at Kikyo," We ain't demons lady, we mutants though demon be a word perfect for describin' her personality."

"I'm Lady Kikyo, a priestess." She introduced faking an actual personality.

"Dis' be Mystique," Remy pointed," and dis' Cajun be known as Gambit." He looked around," Where are we?"

"Inuyasha's forest," she replied.

"Which is where exactly?" Mystique asked.

"Right where we are," Kikyo replied.

"She means petite where, as are we still in North America o is this Korea or somethin'?" Remy clarified.

Kikyo simply looked at him confused, if she were to pass for a live human she'd have to have normal emotions expressed on her face. She acted like Kagome probably would. Remy's people skills were far better than that of Mystiques and he had an odd feeling about this woman. He turned to Mystique.

"Y'know much as Gambit hate your company he thinks he'd hate hers more," he replied.

Mystique looked at him, she may have had no useful people skills but she still wouldn't trust the woman, it was just something she didn't do to anyone. Her eyes locked with Remy's and they had a silent conversation. It would be the first and probably the last time they would understand each other so well to the point of not needing any words. Kikyo watched as they did so annoyed by the fact that she couldn't understand them, she hadn't been annoyed in a long time and that annoyed her even more. In their silent conversation they came to the agreement that Kikyo would travel with them, she knew the lands well or at least better then they could possibly. They were under the impression that they were the only ones there and figured they could work together and never have anyone know.

"Okay Kikyo," Mystique replied," My friend and I are in an unknown place and we were wondering if you'd accompany us around."

Kikyo smiled as if she were delighted;" Sure I'm a traveler, just one thing." Her soul hunters emerged from behind, Remy and Mystique took fighting stances. "These are mine."

"What are they?" Remy asked.

Kikyo thought up a quick believable lie," These are my soul hunters, they gather lost and confused souls and bring them to me. I am their doorway to peace; I am a priestess after all."

Remy and Mystique looked at them, they were there but you could almost see through them. They were like snakes with pointed snouts and three small bony limbs towards the beginning of their making. It was then that they were certain they were alone.

"So Gambit be guessin' you weren't kiddin' bout demons?" Remy asked.

"Not at all," Kikyo replied amused by the fact they believed that story.

She took the lead and began walking with Gambit and Mystique behind her. They traveled in silence for a while until Mystique passed by a set of tracks that Kikyo completely ignored. Remy noticed them too, they were foot prints that were barely there at first until they kept going and following the tracks, the prints went fro barely there to obviously there.

"We're in a world where there are demons?" Mystique asked.

"Yes," Kikyo held back the sound of irritation.

"Tell me have you ever heard of Henry Ford?" she asked again.

"Can't say that I have," Kikyo replied.

Remy caught on to the clue, he knew from way back when he was home schooled that Henry Ford had something to do with the first vehicle, and assembly line recorded in history. The prints on the ground were a pair of combat boots. Remy didn't quite get the connection so he eyed Mystique.

"I remember once when the son of a man with a very magnetic personality asked me to by his son some hardcore combat boots for his latest uniform. I did and I marked them as Henry Ford."

Remy smirked; they couldn't be sure where or when they were but if they had heard of Henry Ford then these prints could be shrugged off but since they didn't this print was special.

"Pietro?" Remy asked.

"What's a Pietro?" Kikyo asked like an airhead but she really wanted to know.

"Not alone," Gambit replied.

Kikyo didn't like the way they talked in constant code, she'd have to deal thought. If she wanted to grow on them she'd have to be…nice and…patient. Kikyo did however notice the prints and followed them pretending she didn't even see them and pretending it was coincidence that she was following them. This would surely be a long and annoying trip.
