A New Power
Chapter 2 "What The?"
Disclaimer: Still don't own the Inu gang…But Mae is mine!
A/N: Okay! I haven't decided on a title yet (still open to suggestions…)
Gomen…But I have decided to make this an F.B X-over. Hopefully it works…
"Last time…"
"WHAT THE HELL!" Inuyasha yelped as the crazed girl smashed into him, Kagome was also knocked down. Jumping back up, Kagome noticed a couple of things about this girl:
1) She was out cold, and 2) Her aura felt suspiciously like that of a youkai, plus she had the ears, and tail of a silver kitsune.
'What the hell is she…?' Kagome wondered…
Kagome looked at Inuyasha, "Is she what I think she is?" He sniffed the air, "Yep…Definitely a youkai."
Kagome frowned, 'But how could she be a youkai in this time, that's impossible…isn't it?'
Well obviously not 'cause the proofs right in front of you, an annoyed voice from the back of her mind answered. 'Shut up you baka' Kagome hissed.
A growl brought her back to reality, "What's wrong Inuyasha?" she asked him.
He bared his teeth, and Kagome swore she saw a flash of fear in his eyes, it was brief, but it had been there. "She's powerful, and not a complete youkai. There's human blood in her, though it's weak," he explained to her. "But what I don't get is how she came to be here…" Inuyasha trailed off, but Kagome knew what he was thinking, he thought she had come out of the well…
Kagome shook her head, "She can't have come out of the well Inuyasha, you and I are the only ones who can get through on our own."
He growled stubbornly, 'Great! Just what I need, another argument!' Kagome sighed.
A dark shape suddenly flashed past her, a set of claws barely missing her face.
She turned towards the spot where the crumpled body of the hanyou girl had been, 'Surprise, surprise… It seems our friend is awake.'
Kagome dropped into a defensive stance, prepared to fight, but was surprised when, instead of attacking, the girl leapt up a tree! She heard Inuyasha curse beside her, "Damn you coward! Come down and fight me!" he shouted.
Kagome felt sorry for the poor hanyou girl, 'I can actually see her shaking,' she thought, 'she looks so terrified…'
-Mae-
'I can hear voices,' she thought opening her eyes slowly, 'they sound angry… Maybe their angry at me…But why?' she thought.
Well maybe 'cause you ran into them and knocked them over like dominoes! A little voice hissed…
'Oh… I remember now!'
Looking up, Mae almost screamed when she saw the guy, 'Fangs! That suckers got fangs, and really sharp looking claws!'
Leaping up and deciding to try and pass the girl, instead of the scary guy, 'A much safer option…' Spotting a tree, Mae jumped up it and heard the guy (If he really was a guy) yell something about her being a coward, 'Hang on! He was speaking in Japanese and I understood him! This is way too scary…"
Mae studied him from her perch, "You're a youkai!" she screamed, "Stay away from me!"
She heard him scoff, "Feh! You can't talk! Your one as well!"
Mae trembled, 'What? Is that why I hurt those men?' she was so confused!
"I don't understand…" Mae whispered paling, and sure that her fear and confusion were clearly visible to her small audience below, 'I can't help it, for some reason his very presence scares me.'
Suddenly she heard the girl say, "Sit!" and the youkai was lying face down in the dirt, "Inuyasha quit it! Can't you see your scaring her?"
The girl looked into her eyes and Mae knew she wouldn't hurt her, it was strange, but somehow she just knew…
"If you come down we might be able to help you," the girl said kindly, "My name is Kagome, what's yours?"
Mae was still wary of the youkai but she decided to trust the kind girl with blue eyes, "My name is Mae," she answered quietly, and began to scramble down the tree.
"Holy crap! How'd I manage to get so high up this damn tree?'
-Kagome-
Kagome watched as the youkai girl cautiously scrambled back down the tree, and Kagome got a better view of her beautiful silvery tail, 'She doesn't even know what she is!' Kagome marveled. Now she had a good chance to study her properly, slightly below average height, dark brown hair with silvery streaks that went below her shoulders, and turbulent dark green eyes.
'She looks normal, apart from the pretty silver ears, kitsune tail, and let's not forget those sharp claws…'
Kagome smiled when she observed Mae giving Inuyasha a wide berth, "Don't worry Mae, Inuyasha won't hurt you."
"But he's a youkai, how can you be so sure?" Mae asked eyeing Inuyasha, who, thanks to her sit command, was out cold.
Kagome grinned, 'Guess I can tell her, might cheer her up…'
-Mae-
Mae couldn't help but laugh when the girl Kagome explained that she could drop the youkai Inuyasha with one word. "So even the most powerful of youkai can be controlled with a rosary like Inuyasha's…" Mae contemplated this…
Kagome nodded, "Basically, but Inuyasha's only a hanyou, a half-youkai," she explained, "you also have youkai blood, but though you are a hanyou, your youkai blood is stronger than his…"
Mae nodded, "Wow! I'm part youkai, a hanyou! I wonder what sort of youkai I am?" she exclaimed.
She watched Kagome think for a second before answering her, "I'm not completely sure, but you're probably a kitsune…"
Mae flicked her tail, "Of coarse! I thought this looked like a foxes tail…"
Her ears picked up a low groan, "Did you have to do that?" the one known as Inuyasha complained. Mae laughed at this, for some reason she was no longer afraid of this brash loudmouth…
Inuyasha growled angrily, "What the hell is so funny?"
Mae giggled, "Gomen nasai Inuyasha, but I find it funny that a might hanyou such as yourself is complaining over a very minor injury!"
'And the fact that you look really, really, funny when your mad…' but she'd never say that…
"I know!" Kagome shouted, hurting both Mae's and Inuyasha's sensitive ears. Kagome saw them wince and grinned sheepishly, "Woops…Gomen, but I have an idea on how to help you Mae." She explained…
Mae's eyes widened as she listened to Kagome's plan, "The Sengoku Jidai?" she asked confused, "and you say that there may be someone who could help me figure out my past?"
"Yeah," Kagome confirmed, "but we won't be leaving for at least a couple of days…"
A/N: There! Second chapter done… F.B cast should appear soon…
Gomen about still slightly short chapters…
