Now all you wonderful people, I will leave you with this hopefully well done piece of work; Please enjoy it.
Disclaimer: I don't own Danny or Inuyasha…Really, if I did I wouldn't be here now would I…If anyone doesn't believe me I will slit their throat /glares and reaches for her Katana threateningly/
Another staring contest was in effect, both sides with fear in their eyes. Danny because his secret might be found out and Inuyasha and his gang because of the unnatural eye display this odd American kid showed.
Kagome, unsure if Danny would get mad again gave a quick apology "Sou-rrrie Danny, I w-well trie tew gooo sl-lowerr." Danny nodded in consent and waited in silence even when his blue eyes clearly showed he was scared of them. Kagome smiled slightly and turned to converse again with her friends, but this time they kept it in normal tones and non-panicky.
"Lets try to keep calm and figure this out guys; first I think we need to set up a common line of communication, so I propose an experiment. Me and Inuyasha will talk to Danny, I will let him know that we will try to help him talk to us in English and if he agrees Inuyasha can try talking to him in Japanese and in the mystic language to gauge his reaction, We can then teach him how to use mystic language on his own, then when that is done we can all talk to him and get the answers we want from him in due time."
Everyone consented, even thou Inuyasha snorted in agitation at the delay that would have to be applied.

Danny waited patiently for them to again address him and get this over with. He wasn't sure what to say to them when the question about his eyes came up but decided to wing it when the time came.
Kagome finished talking to her friends and turned back to him. She and Inuyasha came up to him and Kagome told him what she needed to. "Danny, we-ee alle want tew tal-eke tew y-you, sooow wee ar-re gooo-ng tew trie soomtang." Danny couldn't help but be curious about this and agreed with a nod and waited for further instructions. Kagome smiled at his consent and finished, "Inuyasha w-ell trie tall-king tew y-yew and yew teal me eiff yew un…underrr-sstained ainyt-ing." Danny nodded again and turned to Inuyasha and waited for this to start.
Inuyasha rolled his eyes but started anyway, "Ok kid, can you understand me at all in Japanese first?" Danny didn't understand and shook his head no in Kagome's direction before waiting again. Kagome relayed that it didn't work and told Inuyasha to try mystic for the moment of truth. "Fine, Japanese didn't work but how about this one kid? It is mystic language. Can you understand?" Danny's eyes widened in intense shock when the strange dialect was somehow understood instinctually in his head. He nodded vigorously to Inuyasha and Kagome and answered "Yes, Yes! I can understand that!"

Kagome smiled happily and translated even though it was not necessary with his nodding. Everyone sighed in relief that he could understand, but now the hard part was going to start…trying to get Danny to be able to speak it without trouble, and more importantly telling him that he can speak it already without him thinking they were crazy.
Kagome took it upon herself to stay the translator of the group and decided to help him learn. She went to mystic language and explained everything to him. "Danny, what I am saying is in the mystic language, as Inuyasha said. It is a special dialect used by those with special powers so we can all communicate, and I am going to teach you how to tap into it. You understand?"
Danny nodded with a slightly shifty look on his face to hide his nervousness. Kagome didn't notice, but Inuyasha and Miroku did but kept it to themselves until they thought it was best to bring it up.
Kagome continued, "Now you will probably be able to tap into it by consciously willing yourself to want to speak to all of us. Just try to say something that you want all of us to understand." Danny took a deep breath and closed his eyes momentarily to concentrate then opened his blue eyes again and spoke, "um…Hello everyone…My name is Danny Fenton, and I am from the United States…Who are all of you?" Everyone, even Inuyasha, smiled at his first attempt with speaking with pride.
Shippo was first to break the ice with Danny and introduced himself, "HI! I'm Shippo it is great to meet you, Danny. Do you want to be my friend?" Danny smiled, brows scrunching slightly while trying to concentrate "Sure."
Miroku was next and stepped up to Danny and bowed to him "It is good to meet you Danny, my name is Miroku." Danny smiled and bowed back "It is good to meet you to Miroku."
Sango was next up, with Kilala on her shoulder, as she introduced herself "Hi Danny, I'm Sango and this is Kilala." Sango pointed to her two-tailed cat. Kilala meowed a greeting from Sango's shoulder then jumped onto Danny's shoulder and started to rub her face against his cheek. Danny couldn't help but laugh at the tickling fur while trying to answer Sango as he started to pet Kilala "It is nice to meet you, Sango. I think Kilala is attracted to me already. I hope that is ok." Sango smiled and nodded.
Inuyasha gave a 'feh' response and waited for his chance to ask all the questions he wanted answers for (he is quite impatient).
Kagome was last in the introductions since Inuyasha wasn't going to say anything anytime soon unless it was getting some answers from this young boy. "Well it is good to meet you Danny Fenton. As you probably know that is Inuyasha" she gestured dismissively in Inuyasha's direction then continued, "I am Kagome Higurashi, and I hope you feel free to stay and be our friend as long as you like."
Danny couldn't help but feel like he had heard that name before but shook it off for the moment so he could answer, "Thanks Kagome, I am happy to meet you all, thanks for the help so far…"
He was about to answer further when the name finally came up in his memory. His jaw slackened and his eyes widened as he stared in shock at Kagome before he spoke again, "Your Kagome! From the Higurashi Family? The shrine protectors?"

Kagome was shocked. 'He knows that? He has definitely got to be from my time!'
There you have it. Hope it was to your liking, and now that I am out of College I may be able to update more frequently and with the help of my 'Betas' It will hopefully be much better done. Review nice and have a great day. Love Ya!
