I would like to stress this is an AU. I've been wanting to write this for some time. I've always wanted to do a cross like this and I finally have a way to do it.
Also, this is in a way a prequel to a friend of mines fic that he is writing. Kuro is in that one and I need to write how he got where.
I own Kuro Hikage. I have full bio of
him in my stats. If you want to use him for some odd reason, please
don't hesitate to let me know.
I do not own Inuyasha.
Kuro Hikage, Bounty Hunter
"Can't believe those guys," Kuro said aloud as he walked out of the police station. "They didn't even give me what he was posted as. What a backwards planet."
Kruo Hikage was a bounty hunter, and a good one at that. One of the best in the system…..minus a friend of his. Kuro was full human, which was odd. He had no genetic enhancements. He'd gotten his body into shape the old fashioned way, through blood sweat and tears. But it wasn't like he was born on this god forsaken rock.. It and it's people were so oblivious to what was going on in the universe. They didn't even have good travel off the planet…that the common public knew about anyway. Kuro had only been in the area and decided to pick up some quick cash with an easy bounty. 200,000 of this planets dollars didn't really amount to much in Standard funds, but it seems it was a decent amount around here. But it was supposed to be so much more.
"These cops react so much over a few broken bones and a serious concussion….Geez" Kuro said as he continued walking to his blue pick-up truck parked in front of the Station. "Why did I even come here?" he thought to himself. Then he grinned as he looked at what was in the bed of the truck.. Maybe these people were backwards, but the sure do know how to make good wheels… The Custom made Honda 6000 Superbike was a thing of beauty and was probably the real reason he had come here.
He hefted the over sized duffle bag he had been carrying in the back next to the strapped down bike. Another bad part about this planet, they went all crazy if you had a semi-automatic weapon over your shoulder. So, to counter it, Kuro found carrying a few weapons in a bag fixed that little problem, but the bag was big and he didn't like having to carry it all the time.
But he wasn't going anywhere unarmed, and it wasn't like he had that much in the bag anyway. Just what anyone would need to survive…
As he started the truck and pulled into traffic, Kuro realized he still had to do one more thing before leaving this country and planet for that matter. It wasn't that hard to get off of it, just send an audio message through his ear peace mike to his orbiting ship and he'd be gone in no time. But he still needed to get a little something to say he'd been in Tokyo. He'd been told that this place had some of the better trinkets in this solar system, and the best place to find them were at these shrines they had all over the place.
"I guess this'll do." Kuro said aloud as he pulled into the first one he saw. He couldn't help but notice the young girl moving franticly in the upstairs bedroom though.
"How long will you be gone this time Kagome?" Souta asked as his sister packed as fast as she could in front of him. He had no idea how she could get so much into one bag, even with him watching her do it, it still seemed like miracle how much was in it already.
"Probably another 2 weeks or so." She answered, short of breath. She was late…again. If she didn't get back to Inuyasha and the others soon, everyone would get all concerned again and Inuyasha would have to come get her….again. And she wasn't going to give him that satisfaction so he could just use it over her like he did everything.
"Man, I wish I could go with you." Souta said half to himself, half to Kagome.
"Well, you can't. So get over it." Kagome shot back as she struggled with that last strap. With a victorious CLICK, she threw the bag over her shoulder with uncanny ease and headed for the door. "I'll see you later Souta. Ok?" Kagome said with a smile.
"Ok, see you later sis." Souta answered wide eyed at how easily she lifted the bag that was nearly as big as he was. But Kagome had already ran out of the room at a near sprint, leaving Souta more wide eyed.
"I'm going to be late, I'm going to be late, I'm going to be late." She kept saying in her mind as she franticly rushed toward the door. She saw a visitor walking around with a big bag like hers…not as big, but still big, clad in black camo pants, but she didn't give it another thought. She wasn't going to give Inuyasha another reason to be cocky.
Kuro
had gotten out of his truck and started to look around a small hut just
as that girl sprinted by him. "Was that a turtle shell?" He had to
think as he saw the bag, but quickly forgot that as she kept running
past him toward the small hut across the lawn. Now, he didn't know why
she was running, but he decided to move behind her to see what the fuss
was about.
…And he about had a heart attack when she actually seemed
to trip, or he had thought she tripped, right into the hut head first
into a hole.
Now, it was only a reflex, but he would forever hate himself for what he did next.
Kuro lurched after her to try and stop her fall, grabbling onto the oversized backpack to try and break her fall.
Kurp
was built very strong and he was more then surprised when he was yanked
forward with her and down into the hole. The last two things he
remembered were thinking "This is going to hurt." and an odd purple
light in front of him before he was knocked out, which wasn't easy to
do.
As Kuro woke up, he found himself just where he thought he'd be. In the bottom of a giant pit/hole/whatever the hell it was. There was dull pain in the back of his head, but it didn't feel like and bones were broken. However, he didn't see that young girl he tried to catch.
"Must of gone for help or something." He thought aloud as he slowly got to his feet and his senses came back to him. "Or didn't even see me and just left me to rot. Either way, she's not here."
Kuro threw his
bag over his shoulder and put both hands into the walls surrounding him
to climb out. Luckily, there seemed to be makeshift grips for feet and
hands so Kuro made steady progress up.
What he didn't expect was
what he saw when he got out. He was fairly sure when he fell that he
was at a shrine and had fallen in some huts hole.
Now, all he saw was blue sky. No hut. No shrine. Just a whole lot of woods.
Things were just getting better and better…
"Hello?" He shouted to see if anyone was around. Kuro was greeted by a the oddest sounds he'd heard in a while…
Silence.
No cars, no people, nothing.
Kuro smiled grimly at the irony.
Author's
notes: I like this fic. It's kind of hard to say which I like more
right now. This one or U.A.S. Very hard to pick but, they are two
different fics so, it is very hard since I like them for different
reasons. Everyone should like the way I take this story in the next few
chapters. Already got a lot of it done and editing it too. That's been
a problem for me in the past. Hopefully I've fixed most of it.
Till next time, RR. Let me know what you think so far.
