A/N: This chapter is only here to put everyone into the picture finally. I think I might make my chapters longer, it just isn't seeming like enough happens in them.

Chapter five: The last two arrive

"C'mon Grandfather you must hurry!" A strained voice came.

"Sorry Ayame I'm too old, too weak," his shabby voice came.

Ayame was struggling; a large boulder was threatening to crush her and her grandfather. His front paw was badly injured and it only made him weaker, he was already old and fragile. She refused to give up though; she didn't want to become tribe leader so soon. Off behind another boulder two X-men's training senses kicked in.

"What's going on?" Kitty asked.

"No clue but that girl over there needs our help." Kurt replied looking at Ayame.

"Gotcha!" Kitty replied already agreeing to a plan.

She disappeared through the rocks she stood on and Kurt Teleported after counting a few seconds, his teleportation powers were far faster than Kitty's phasing powers. Ayame almost passed out seeing Kitty's form emerge from the rocks themselves and take her grandfather. She yelped as Kurt appeared before her and his tail wrapped around her and then in the blink of an eye she was gone and back again looking at the very spot she had once been. She looked around desperately for her grandpa and she spotted Kitty setting him down.

"Get away!" she cried.

Kitty backed off quickly as did Kurt," We meant no harm, we saw you in trouble and we helped." Kitty replied.

Ayame took quick deep breaths," We're mutants like you," Kurt replied assuming she was a mutant by her tail.

"I'm no mutant…I've no clue what one looks like," she had yet to look at them; she fixed her eyes on her grandpa. "I'm a wolf demon."

"Oh no," Kitty replied her hand reaching her mouth in awe," Is that what they're telling you?"

"It's what I am." She looked at them finally. She saw Kurt's full blue form with only three digits on each hand and foot, a tail, yellow eyes and fangs. "You're a demon too," she sniffed," or not."

"No one here is a demon," Kitty replied hiding her feelings, she was offended.

"We're both…d-demons," the old wolf spoke turning on his belly cleaning his wound with his tongue.

"GEEZ!" Kurt and Kitty gaped," He spoke."

"He's not mute," Ayame replied," And t-thanks for your help…tell me have you seen more wolves around?"

Kurt looked at her grandpa," You're a very advanced mutant…Wolfsbane could sure learn from you."

"We're not mutants," Ayame insisted.

"No we've not seen anything else living other than you two," Kitty looked at Ayame," Can you tell us where we are?"

"Northern lands," Ayame replied.

Kurt sighed relieved," We're still in North America them."

"Where?" she replied confused.

Kitty took in her surroundings, she saw some familiar creatures; birds, bees, spiders and rabbits, but she also saw some of the most odd looking creatures in the world. She heard a faint noise; everyone else heard it as well. They all looked up.

"ahahahahahAHAHAHAHAHAHAHahahahahaha!" the largest groundhog Kitty or Kurt had ever seen just flew over their head.

Kitty looked at Ayame," Was that hedgehog wearing armor?"

She nodded and Kurt looked at Kitty," Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" she raised an eyebrow," I'm thinking about our school dance ways back when the demons from the other dimension can to our dimension through one of Forge's inventions."

Realizations hit Kitty's face," I remember that," she nodded as remembering the event made her smile, she suddenly shook her head and her brows knitted together in deep thought," Doesn't make sense thought, Forge hasn't made an invention that could do that in years. Still it's the best explanation we have so far."

Ayame listened to them trying to figure them out. She looked at her Grandpa and shook her head; they were apparently having a conversation.

"No," she finally said aloud but a stern look changed her mind. She looked at her new odd company," Listen my grandpa is wounded and his wise nose senses that we are in no danger with you two. Would you accompany us for a while?"

"Sure we're in a world we don't know and we'd much rather accompany you then wander around." Kitty replied being as polite as possible. She looked at the girls grandpa and a thought came to mind, she smiled," I'll be right back I promise." She disappeared again going through the ground.

A wave of silence fell over the three; Kurt looked everywhere but at Ayame feeling to uncomfortable to strike up a conversation. Ayame and her grandpa both sensed his distress, it was then that Ayame genuinely considered Kurt not a threat. In fact she took joy in watching him squirm uncomfortably trying to make himself more comfortable. Kitty came back with a handful of slimy…something.

Ayame covered her highly sensitive nose, her grandpa did the same. "What IS that?"

Kurt scooted from Kitty not wanting any of that stuff to drop on him, his nose couldn't pick up the scent but it looked gross. It was a pale brown and looked like thick liquid sand.

"It's something to make his wound feel a lot better." She closed in on the wolf, he was too weak to fight and decided that he'd just breath trough his snout.

Kitty smeared the stuff on his wound and he visibly relaxed. His wound tingled as the stuff cooled.

"Where did you get that stuff, us demons have super senses and I'm positive I've never smelled anything so bad." She waved her hands frantically trying to air the smell away. "How can you stand it grandpa?"

"Feels nice," he growled in a low satisfying tone.

"Where did you get it?" Kurt asked curious.

"Underground, if you travel low enough to where you close to heat you find this stuff." She held out her hand. "Is there a lake or something I can dip my hand in?"

"There's a small river under those rocks over there." Ayame pointed towards the rocks that she was just saved from.

"Are you two…" Ayame trailed assuming Kurt could finish it himself.

"No…we're just friends." He laughed.

Ayame took in everything, how odd their clothing was, how they smelled of the oddest scents that were unrecognizable to her. It reminded her of someone…Kagome.

"Kagome!" she said cheerfully.

"What?" Kitty came back waving her gloved hand to dry it.

"Kagome, she…you remind me of her. Your odd clothing and smell. I'm looking for Kouga leader of another wolf tribe, he'll surly be able to help you."

"Okay then lets be on our way," Kurt replied. "Hey I just want to know, how is he in…I guess wolf form and you in that form."

"Don't answer him…if you answer one you'll have to answer all. By the way my name is Kitty, he's Kurt." Kitty replied.

"I'm Ayame, and this is…well I've always called him grandpa (What is his name?)," Ayame laughed and carried her grandpa on her back, the ground walked following Ayame's nose as she tried to catch the slightest trail of Kouga. In a room dark all doors closed with no windows a boy and woman conversed.

"Never thought I'd actually see a demon exterminator village." The woman replied and un-open fan in her hand.

"You've seen plenty," the little boy replied in a cold emotionless voice.

"But this is the only one with people actually living in it," she replied with mild interest. "Kohaku you will fit in quite well."

"I do not care for fitting in, Kagura now just give me my orders." The boy demanded.

"Fine…Naraku says wait here in this village until Inuyasha and the others come, then you will destroy this place. It will blind their good judgment."

"How long will I have to wait? I don't enjoy waiting."

"Not too long Kanna sent a report saying that they should be here within two days."

"Why here," he hesitated to ask.

Kagura had dealt with Naraku's puppets long enough to know that Kohaku had asked that question based on curiosity, something these puppets were forbidden to do. The knowledge made her smile.

"Because there was a light that landed here, there were many more but this is the only place that it landed specifically. He's positive that Inuyasha will come looking for it."

She turned and left leaving Kohaku behind, she knew she wouldn't tell Naraku of Kohaku's individual thinking, she just hopped they weren't the only ones. Waiting a while Kohaku walked through the village, many people dressed just like he was. He stopped at the entrance to the Village seeing some other boy wearing odd clothing, it could almost pass for another type of exterminator wear. He just didn't seem to fit, the boy was too clean and he looked way different. One of the bullies of the village was arguing with the boy and had grabbed him by the collar and began shaking him. The boy wasn't fearful though; he was angry but held himself in check.

"Demon!" one of the younger kids yelled and pointed.

A demon and made a very loud landing at the entrance of their village, it was a hedgehog (he's everywhere isn't he). The bully let go of the kid, who we all no is Jamie, frightened and surprised.

"Crap it's a real demon!" Jamie yelled.

A few men lined up, it wouldn't be enough Kohaku knew already. The men were all not fully trained and could still be considered boys; others were drunk and would probably kill themselves before they actually hit the demon. Most, if not all, the really good experienced and responsible men were out of the village and would be back by nightfall. Kohaku reached for his weapon, he'd have to keep these people alive simply so he could kill them when the time came, Jamie worked faster though and stood up ahead of everyone and he punched his open palm and suddenly there were two of him. He repeated this trick several times until there was more of him then there were warriors. He jumped on the demon, all of him. They threw little punches and kicks irritating the already disoriented demon, he was just tossed miles by two speed demons after all. The small attacks weren't enough to kill the demon but it gave all the sober inexperienced warriors a chance to strike.

"Out the way!" someone yelled, Jamie went back to a single boy and jumped off the demon.

Someone used a large sword to kill the demon, he came up and stabbed at it killing it within a few stabs, blood seeped out its wounds quickly in small thick red rivers. Jamie felt sick, for a second he had assumed he was in a training session but they weren't this graphic, plus he remembered flying with Rogue from Pietro. He looked at the fallen demon; it laid there limp its eyes half rolled in the back of its head.

"Hey you kid!" the guy that had bullied him called out. "How'd you do that?"

Jamie blinked," There is a demon right there dead and you ask me how I did what? It's a demon, a real demon and it's dead, it's huge." His voice was hysterical.

All the exterminators looked around at each other," That's normal…we're demon exterminators."

"You mean like you're a government society like Hellboy from the comics?" Jamie asked.

Kohaku made himself known," You are not from around here are you?"

Jamie held his stomach; it was still gross in his opinion. Kohaku's question hit him across the face," Oh no! I'm not from around here…where's Rogue, has any of you seen a woman with two toned hair around?"

"Where at?"

"I don't know she was just with me I swear it, she was flying me around ands we were…Pietro, crap!" he was alone, the thought struck fear in him.

"Hey you guys killed a demon!" the others were back.

It was like watching a large happy family, they greeted one another with open arms and jokes, they were praised and it all made Jamie feel worse. It wasn't bad enough that he was alone but he had no clue where he was at, he wondered where the others were.

"Why aren't you over there?" he asked Kohaku seeing him watching as well.

"I'm from another village, I know no one here." He replied in his usual emotionless voice.

"Guess I'm not too alone then huh?" Jamie sighed," I'm Jamie."

Kohaku crossed his arms and turned from him, he ignored Jamie's greeting and began to walk when suddenly he saw two people greeting one another, a woman and boy. She was too young to be his mom, so she must have been his sibling. An image went through Kohaku's mind, of him sitting beside a womon, he was without his demon exterminator uniform and was in something casual. She was, on the other hand wearing her uniform and her arm was around his shoulders, she leaned on saying words to him. He saw himself with a look on nervousness on his face but when she spoke her words he relaxed. A small cat demon was in her lap and she then ruffled his hair. Her face…it haunted him frequently, she was so familiar but how? Suddenly he turned back around to see Jamie standing there alone, his hands swinging back and forth with boredom.

"Kohaku," he replied.

Jamie looked at him confused at first but then he smiled," Nice to meet you…Kohaku."

Kohaku said nothing further and went back into his hut, he felt strange, and the funny thing about that was he was reluctant to rid himself of the feeling. Back outside Jamie didn't think he could feel more awkward and alone, this was much and extreme feeling of alone. His surroundings weren't even familiar.

"Pa! this kid helped us," someone spoke, Jamie looked up. "Look what he can do!"

Everyone looked at Jamie expecting him to do what it was the younglings were so interested in, Jamie stared back at them for a while until there was only one thing to do. He hit his own hand again and again until there was eight of him. The member's of the village were astonished at his tricks. They clapped and threw odd coins at him. He put himself together and smiled.

"How's you do that boy?" a grown man asked.

"It's my gift," he replied and grabbed the man and again did the trick, the man looked at himself and both of him jumped frightened and shocked.

"Some trick," he replied touching his own face. "It's so real."

The two men combined and the one man looked at Jamie," Where am I?"

The man laughed," Someplace safe, demons don't dare come here…please stay the nigh we insist."

Jamie agreed with little thought, he wanted to be with people and these people were his best bet because from the looks of it he was in a forest, who knew how far the next town was, or worse how close the next demon was.

End: Reviews are GREATLY APPRECHIATED.
