Author's Note
Ladies and gentlemen there is a sequel to The Elementals: Youkai Guardians. It's called The Elementals 2: Of Spirit Detectives and Soul Reapers. I ask you to please read it. It stars the character you know from the first story but you also get a splash of Yu Yu Hakushou and Bleach with a couple of extra characters from other anime and few of my own creation! All I ask is that you give it a try. It's been up for a while. Let give summary of the story.
The Elementals and the X-Men are in Japan to finish what they started. They have to kill off Naraku and complete the Shikon no Tama. But once they get there they find that they have a little competition for the Jewel Shards. There are two other groups working together against them with people of their own that can see the Shards as well. Can they find away to work together and defeat Naraku once and for all? Or will they end up trying to kill each other of the Shards?
Here's a taste of the first chapter. Please read it and let me know what you think.

"Japanese"
The moment she said that, an all too familiar feeling ran through her and Kikyou. It was a Shikon Shard and it was getting closer to them and fast. The area was mostly vacant of people other than themselves. So, if there was a demon coming their way they would not have to worry about anyone getting in the way. They waited for it. They could hear footsteps running towards them. The footsteps however sounded like someone was running with a limp but another set of footsteps that were not heard far behind the first set running towards them.
"I smell blood," Kouga said, looking off in the direction of the footsteps. "A lot of blood."
"Well, whoever it is, he or she's coming this way," Pietro said, looking off in the direction of the nearest block where it was coming from. "Anyone got any ideas."
"No doubt one them has a Jewel shard," Kikyou spoke up. "I think we ought to surprise the demon as it comes around the corner."
"Yeah, well, here they come," Jean said as she sees someone running around the blocked.
"Dammit! More trouble," the man said, coming to a stop before a group of 17.
"That's a switch," Azumi said with a surprise tone. "It's usually a human being chanced by a demon."
"KYOUSUKE, YOU'RE NOT GETTING AWAY FROM THAT EASILY," came a young male voice from around the corner, getting closer. "You're more trouble than you're worth and I'm not even getting paid for this damn job!"
"Get out of my way," the demon now known as Kyousuke snapped and the group.
"How about no," Pietro said, stepping out in front. "But you could hand over what ever Jewel shards you're carrying, pal!"
"Not on your life, hanyou," the demon snapped about ready to run right through the group.
"BASTARD," yelled a male voice from behind the demon.
It was a teenage boy about 14 or 15. He had black messy hair, a torn green school uniform, and was covered in blood and wounds. His brown eyes were narrowed as he glared at Kyousuke. He was definitely not happy as he stood there catching his breath and wiping the blood from his eyes and mouth.
"Kyousuke, this is your last chance to give up," the teen said, taking a step towards him. "Do so and I'll put a good word in for you, okay? They're not worth loosing your life over. So, cough those damn things up!"
"You are wrong," Kyousuke yelled, turning to face the teen head on. "These shards are everything to me! I will not loose them to a low class punk like you! I'll show you what these shards can do!"
The demon took off after the shaggy, black haired teen as fast as he could. He had his claws out glowing with demonic energy. The teen was ready his own attack he only had one shot at this though so better make this count. And considering he did not know if it would actually work or not…
"You're dead," Kyousuke yelled, bringing a clawed hand down at his target.
But the blow never came from Kyousuke but from the teen. Kyousuke was stopped dead in his tracks. He slowly looked down at the teen as blood started out of his mouth. Young punk looked up at him with a smirk.
"I told you to cough them and seeing as how you wouldn't I had to go straight to the source," the teen said, in a bit of pleased yet degusted manner.
"Look at zat," Kurt gulped, looking at the teen's blue glowing hand sticking out of the back side of the demon.
"He ran him through," Scott said, watching the teen pull his out the demon's body.
"I didn't think that would actually work but it does! I told you they were NOT worth your life," the teen snorted, knocking the dying demon to the ground. "And besides out of the 5 shards you had only one was genuine. The rest were poisonous copies. You should have listened to me about coughing them up."
The demon than turned to dust as the teen dropped the counterfeits to the ground and crushed them with his beat up shoe. He then looked up at the real one in his hands before pocketing it. However things were not over yet.
"Hey, you," Kouga yelled, getting in front of the group. "Don't you dare leave with that Jewel Shard!"
"Listen here, you," the teen said, crossing his arms. "You ought to be grateful I don't rip you legs off to get to the two you own. But I'm not really in the mood right now."
"He can see the Shikon Shards," Kikyou whispered to the group. "This may pose a problem."
"So, you'll go after that low class demon but you won't come after me," Kouga smirked. "Not very brave are you, punk?"
"Huh, listen to me again, ookami," the teen snapped, putting a bloodied hand to his middle. "I'm not in the mood to fight right now. If I continue to fight I'll blackout from the loss of blood not to mention my reiki has hit rock bottom after that last attack. And knowing Koemna, if anything should happen to me I would never hear the end of it. I'm not aloud to go after those that aren't on my list anyway and as far as I know you and those female doppelgangers over there aren't on my wanted list. I'm not even allowed to go after neutral shards, such as yours, or purified shards, such as theirs, without orders from the higher ups. So, just get lost."
"What kind of shit is that," Kouga snapped, walking towards him with balled fists.
"Kouga, let him be," Xavier spoke up. He's too badly injured to continue fighting in his current state. Your nose should be able to pick up the blood loss.
Yeah, but that's a Shikon shard he has! We can't just let him walk away with it!
Shard or not he seems to be working with some higher authority. Not only that but if you haven't figured it out yet he also has the ability to see the shards and tell if they are fake, purified, neutral, or tainted. If he's only going after the tainted and fake ones that means he could be on our side so, don't go swinging your fists until we know what we're dealing with. Is that understood?
"Yeah, whatever… Alright, punk, if you want to leave so badly than just go already," Kouga said, waving the blood covered teen off. "But don't think this is over!"
"I look forward to our next encounter, Kouga, was it," the teen said with a smirk. "Let's just hope we meet on better terms."
"So, he can speak English," Ororo said, watching the teen run off around the block where he came from. "What was that about anyway?"
"I'll explain that on way," Kouga said, crossing his arms. "Let's get moving. It's cold out here."
Well how was that little sample? I wish you all could read it. You'll like it trust me. Also if you haven't tried my other stories yet please read them. Most popular are My Little Earth Girl is where Inuyasha is an alien and he has kidnapped Kagome as test subject but it seems he is growing fond of her and there is a hidden agenda between Inuyasha's bosses. It seems Naraku and Kikyou want this pairing but for what reason in unknown.
Another one is called Curse of the Crescent Moon. It seems the crescent moon shape mark on Sesshoumaru is a mark of a curse that he received when he was younger. Now it's up to Kagome and Inuyasha and the rest of the crew to save him. But new love triangle is starting. Inuyasha is becoming jealous of Kagome and Sesshoumaru's closeness.
