Elvengirl: Sorry this update took so long. I'm currently stuck in several plot holes and my local anime provider is being stupid and showing nothing but Inuyasha filler, so I'm kinda at a lack for inspiration.

Kai: What about all that stuff you've rented and borrowed?

Elvengirl: Not suited for what I am writing at the current time. I need Inuyasha, not FullMetal Alchemist.

Kai: You've defected then?

Elvengirl: What?

Kai: I know you're going through a Gundam obsession.

Elvengirl: So what if I am?

Bryan: Stop bothering Elvengirl, Kai. If she likes Gundam, that's her decision.

Elvengirl: Thanks Bry...well, might as well get this show on the road. I give you, chapter twenty-four.

Disclaimer: Don't own Beyblade...or Inuyasha...but if I did, all the filler would disappear. (insert evil laugh here)

"So...what kind of demons are you?" asked Inuyasha, attempting to seperate Mariah from Shippo.

"We're actually not demons," said Lee, sitting up, and rubbing his head.

"Wait, I think I've seen you before. You're part of that beyblading team...my brother always watches you."

"Yeah, we're the White Tiger X. I'm Lee, and that's Mariah."

"Kagome, she's choking me..." Shippo said in a strained voice.

"Mariah, let go. We all know you love Inuyasha."

"Alright," said Mariah in a dejected voice. She released Shippo, who took in a deep breath.

"For a human, she's got a strong grip," he said, hiding behind Kagome.

"So what are you doing here? Are you from Kagome's time?" asked Miroku.

"Yeah, we are. And as for, "what", I'm not to sure. The last thing I remember was a bright light and then, I woke up here." Lee answered.

"Are there any more of you?"

"I think so. Two more. A short guy with green hair, Kevin, and a large guy, Gary."

"Well, you can come with us until you find them," smiled Kagome.

"But Kagome..." Inuyasha began.

"Inuyasha...sit."

WHAM!

"Ouch...What'd you do that for?"

"Be nice Inuyasha."

Lee looked down at his own necklace. He took it off and placed it in his pocket, just in case. Kagome smiled guiltily.

"It looks like it's getting dark," said Sango, looking toward the horizon, "We should go find a village."

"T-that seems like a g-good idea." agreed Shippo.

"What's the matter Shippo? Scared?"

"N-no."

"It's okay. I'll look after you," smiled Mariah, picking Shippo up. Shippo looked less than enthusicastic. Lee sighed. He had no idea that Mariah's Inuyasha obsession went so deep. 'I need to pay more attention,' He thought. The group continued along in silence. Lee glanced around. Feudal Japan was so different from his time. The countryside reminded him of his home, White Tiger Hills. Suddenly, the wind began to pick up. Inuyasha turned around and glared. A large tornado was coming toward them.

"Shouldn't we get out of the way?" asked Lee, unnerved.

"Lee, that's just Koga," said Mariah, highly excited. Lee put his hand her shoulder, holding her back. Mariah glared at him. The tornado ran past them and stopped abrutly.

"Hiya Kagome," smiled Koga, taking the hand of the young teenager. Inuyasha rose up behind her. Everyone else, knowing what was about to happen, sweat dropped.

"Koga...wait up!" came a voice from down the rode.

"Looks like Ginta and Hakkaku are getting better at catching up..." said Miroku.

"And they got a new companion with them," added Sango, from Kilala's back. Both Lee and Mariah looked.

"It's Gary," smiled Lee, as they ran up.

"Gary, you alright?" asked Mariah. Gary looked like he was about to pass out.

"No...I'm fine. Got anything to eat?" He asked. Lee and Mariah fell over.

"Anyway, Gary, have you seen Kevin?"

"Nope. I woke up and found myself with them," answered Gary, looking around for something to eat. Kagome, having managed to break away from her feuding friends, handed Gary some potato chips. Gary smiled greatfully and began to eat them at an alarming rate. One would have thought he'd eat the bag to. Kagome looked up.

"What is it, Kagome?" asked Sango.

"I just sensed a sacred jewel shard," Kagome replied. Inuyasha and Koga stopped fighting.

"What way Kagome?"

"That way," Kagome pointed down the road to an ominous dark forest. Mariah moved closer to Lee. The group began to move toward the forest.

"Slow down Inuyasha! It could a trap," said Miroku.

"Too late, Monk," said Lee, smirking. Despite the dark nature of the situation, what had just occured was quite funny.

"Is it Naraku?" asked Sango.

"No...I don't think so," replied Kagome. They ran, trying to catch up to the half-demon, and full demon.

The forest was dark. Vines hung limply off the tree branchs. No sunlight penetrated the canopy. Mariah clung onto Lee. Gary followed behind, Galzzly at the ready. Miroku and Sango looked around for Inuyasha and Koga. Shippo hung off of Kagome's shoulder.

"I found them!" said Ginta. The rather large group ran over to a nearby clearing, only to find Inuyasha and Koga not fighting the demon, but each other. Everyone fell over. The demon snickered from a tree branch three meters from the ground. Mariah looked at it and gasped. It was Kevin...and then again, it wasn't. It was Kevin's height, and wore the same clothes, and had the same hair colour. But the ears were pointed and the fangs a bit more noticable.

"Lee, is that Kevin?" asked Mariah.

"It looks like him..." said Lee. Kagome looked away from the demons, who were currently being pulled apart by Miroku, Sango, Ginta, and Hakkaku.

"He's got a sacred jewel shard in him. That must have caused him to become a demon."

"How do we turn him back?" asked Gary, gripping his beyblade.

"Trying getting the shard out of him."

"Allow me, Lee," said Galeon.

"Me to, Mariah," added Galux.

"Right. Let's do this," said Lee, with a smile. Mariah and Gary smiled back. The three White Tigers launched their beyblades at Kevin, who retaliated in the same manner. Galzzly, Galeon, and Galux flew at Galmon, who used his Crazy Monkey technique to stop all three of them.

"The Jewel shard caused him to get to strong. We gotta get it out of him," said Mariah.

"I have a plan. Gary, you and me will keep Galmon busy. Mariah, you get around behind him and get that shard out of him."

"Right. Go Galzzly! Bear Ax!"

"Galeon, spiral lighting!"

The black and red blades slammed into Galmon. Mariah grabbed Galux and ran into the bushes. Shippo, wanting to help out, followed her. Mariah reloaded her shooter.

"I'm sorry Kevin," she said, and fire Galux at Kevin's back. Galux bounced off without scratching Kevin at all. Kevin turned around and snarled.

"It's a demonic barrier," said Shippo, standing in front of Mariah, readying foxfire. Kevin took a step toward them. Lee and Gary tried from the other side, to no avail. Mariah and Shippo backed up to a tree. Kevin raised his claws. Mariah and Shippo clung onto each other.

"No...Kevin don't..."

"Stop it Kevin!" Ryu appeared in front of both of them. Mariah gasped with relife. Everything would be fine. Kevin just growled at Ryu, and crouched down for an attack. Ryu began to cast a spell. Kevin tried to move, but was frozen by the spell.

"Now Hiroshi, break the barrier!" Ryu yelled. A black blade came flying out of the trees, connecting with Kevin's barrier and shattering it.

"Now Lee, go ahead," smiled Hiroshi, jumping down. Lee nodded and launched Galeon. The black lion leapt out of the blade and landed on Kevin, sinking his teeth into Kevin's shoulder, in an attempt to free the jewel shard. The Demon Kevin cried out in pain. Finally, the shard burst out of Kevin's body and Galeon went back into his blade. Kevin sank to the ground, his demonic features dissappearing. Mariah ran over.

"He should be fine," smiled Ryu, kneeling down beside her, "I'm just glad we got here in time."

"What happened exactly, Ryu?" asked Gary, coming over with Lee.

"Some weird confusing thing involving the time/space continium. It's a long explanation," smiled Hiroshi, "But we should get you Guys back. Don't worry, everything will reset itself here."

"I just want to know who turned Kevin into a demon?" said Lee.

"That, we don't know," the Gaurdians sighed.

"I don't think it was Naraku," Shippo piped up, "He usually sends incarnations of himself."

"Shippo!" Kagome yelled, "Where'd you go?"

"Guess I better get back."

"Thanks for saving me Shippo. You're really brave," smiled Mariah. Shippo blushed and ran off to find Kagome. The Gaurdians looked at each other and nodded. They began the spell that would take them back home. It only took a matter of seconds.

"Hillary, guess what? We went to Inuyasha and I got saved by Shippo when Kevin turned into a demon," said Mariah.

"Mariah, I can't understand a word you are saying," replied Hillary. Kevin, not remembering anything, just looked around blankly. Lee and Gary were just glad to be back.

"Two down, only about four more to go," said Chaos. Everyone else nodded.

"What's up Ryu?" asked Dragolian.

"I just can't shake the feeling that Devimon's strength and Kevin becoming a demon are connected in some way."

"I agree. There's some greater power working against us," said Hiroshi, "I hope we can figure it out soon."

Kai: Where are you going?

Elvengirl: I'm off to go look for the antagonist. Bryan, you and Tala are in charge while I'm gone.

Tala: You can count on us.

Bryan: Yeah, we won't let the story get to out of hand.

Elvengirl: Thanks guys. I might come back for one more update. What did you think of this chapter? Let me know via review. Adios for now.
