A Yu Yu Yasha Adventure
Chapter 2
Being the naturally headstrong guy that he is, Yusuke jumped down the mysterious abyss that disguised itself as a well. He braced himself for landing on the cold hard floor, but it never happened. While opening eyes that he didn't realize he had instinctively closed, Yusuke was immediately exposed to an unfamiliar blue light.
'What the hell…' He was virtually weightless. If he hadn't been so damned confused, he probably would have enjoyed the sensation. 'It feels like I'm traveling through a portal or something.' Suddenly, the light grew less intense until it eventually died out entirely.
He made contact with the ground and stumbled a bit before getting used to his own weight again. He looked upward in an attempt to find the easiest way out of the well, when his eyes meet with crystal clear blue skies. 'Sky… why am I seeing the sky? Where the hell did the damn roof go off to?'
Not being the analytical type, he shrugged it off and leaped- much like Inuyasha- out of the well.
As soon as she had gotten back to the feudal era, Kagome was greeted by Inuyasha's usual questioning.
"Are you ever going to get here at the times that you promise?" His arms were crossed while his handsomely tanned face wore a scowl.
"Hey, it was an accident ok? I just got stuck at school!" She had to be on the defensive… no way was she going to let him blame this on her. 'It wasn't even my fault.'
Just as they started to walk away from the clearing, they sensed an unfamiliar demonic aura. The aura was strong and coming from behind them. Immediately expecting the worst, both Kagome and Inuyasha whirled around prepared to fight. What they saw shocked them.
Just as he was dusting himself off at the lip of the well, Yusuke looked up to see the surprised expressions of two beings. One was the strange female that he had been pursuing earlier and the other was… 'a demon?' The girl had a bow in one hand and an arrow in the other, while the man wheedled a rusted sword. Yusuke looked Inuyasha up and down. 'He doesn't look that tough- like a high 'B' class demon by himself- but it is the sword that I am worried about. It possesses a demon energy all on its own… almost like it's alive…'
Inuyasha had let Tetsuiga retreat into its original form. He was too confused to attack. 'I'm positive that the aura around him is demonic, but he looks and smells human… his clothes are like the weird ones from Kagome's time… What the hell is going on here?'
"Who are you?", Inuyasha all but growled out.
Yusuke was just looking around at the change of landscape. He had completely ignored the question, so Inuyasha continued his interrogation.
"How did you get here?"
"Oh! …Through that freaky well," Yusuke answered pointing to the wooden structure behind him.
"You came through the bone-eaters well? How did you even know about it?" Inuyasha was getting more and more suspicious of this guy by the minute.
"Well, I noticed that girl over there," he pointed to Kagome, "and her aura was different from others so I followed her to see where she was going…"
"You FOLLOWED me HOME??" Kagome was so shocked she didn't know what to think. Inuyasha's low growling went unnoticed to the other to. He did NOT like the idea of some weirdo following Kagome around, and he liked it even less that this person managed to travel through the well.
Just then, Kirara landed behind Kagome with Miroku, Sango, and Shippou on board.
"We felt something strange, so we came to see if you needed help," Miroku calmly stated, as he turned to Kagome, revealing a red hand-print on the side of his face.
Sango got off of Kirara's back a grabbed her weapon. She never once acknowledged Miroku's existence. She turned to Kagome and gave the traditional 'welcome back' hug. After that she turned to the stranger. 'Who is that? His aura is almost as over-whelming as Naraku's.' Just the thought of that devil put her in a fighting mood.
After watching Inuyasha and the stranger stare at each other for a full minute, Sango became irritated. "Are you a demon or aren't you?" Sango was becoming impatient and anxious. She didn't like the lack of information. Sango stepped in front of Inuyasha and faced the possible opponent.
"So what if I am?", was Yusuke's smart reply.
"Then that is all I needed to know." Sango gripped her weapon tightly. "I will take you down myself before you can cause any trouble."
Yusuke took a step back. "I really ain't into beating up on girls…" … 'unless…'
Before he could finish his statement, Sango leaped high into the air, ready to smash him over the head with her huge boomerang. Kagome was –as usual- watching from the side lines when Yusuke seemingly disappeared.
"Where did he-.."
Sango landed to the left of Kagome clutching her chest. Her face was red with embarrassment and fury while she had a white-knuckled grip on her weapon.
Suddenly, Yusuke appeared. He was staring intently at his right hand. "Whaddaya know! You are a girl!"
"You sick pervert! You… You're worse than Miroku! I'LL KILL YOU!"
'What could he possibly have done to make Sango so pissed off? He was so fast… probably faster than Kouga…I didn't even see anything,' Kagome thought to herself. 'Wait… no… he didn't,' (A/N: realization strikes). Kagome took a quick glance at Sango and then sneaked a peek at Miroku. He had a dangerous look on his face and his left hand on the prayer beads that kept the wind-tunnel sealed up. 'He is a dead man… if Sango doesn't kill him in pure rage, it will have been because Miroku got to him first out of possessive jealously.'
Personally, Inuyasha was a little afraid. He had never seen Sango so furious. He could have sworn that he saw her eyes flash red a second ago. Sango whipped around and threw her boomerang at Yusuke with great force and speed. He easily dodged it, but unknowingly fell for her trick. Before he knew it, Sango was pelting him with an incomprehensible amount of slaps, punches, kicks, and God only knows what else.
"DIE YOU FILTHY SWINE," Sango roared as she continued to ruthlessly beat up on Yusuke. 'I'm gonna KILL him!... and Kami help him, because I will make sure that it is a painfully slow death.' She lunged at him once again for another round of merciless thrashing.
Yusuke was barely fazed by her attacks; he was too lost in thought. 'Ok…so maybe the way I approached this ENTIRE situation was wrong, but do I really deserve all of this?! … Perhaps, but boy or girl –it doesn't matter anymore- this violence has got to stop-'
Just as he completed his thought, Sango pulled her arm back and opened her palm. SLAP! Miroku winced and turned away, for he knew the boy's pain while Inuyasha pinned his ears to his head and backed away slowly.
'Damn… this girl is giving Keiko a run for her money,' Yusuke thought as he pressed his hand to his wounded cheek. 'Ok, now I'm getting tired of this…, I can't let this crazy bitch have her way with me, 'cause I'm not in the mood to die again.'
When Sango was ready to punch him again, he swiftly avoided it and tripped her. As soon as she was on the ground, he pulled out a device. 'It's obvious that these people aren't going to tell me where I am, so guess I am going to have to ask Koenma about it,' Yusuke thought as he opened up what seemed to be a compact mirror.
Kagome rushed to Sango's side just as the fuming and slightly embarrassed demon slayer was about to grab her weapon and do her job. They both stopped out of sheer curiosity when they saw that he was in the middle of a conversation.
"Hey, Koenma…"
"Yusuke, as much of a joy it always is to speak with you, I am kinda busy here; this better be good."
"You can stamp papers and answer my questions at same time can't you?! It ain't that hard! I've seen you do it before… Come to think of it, I don't remember you ever actually reading those papers."
"Listen here you, my job takes a lot of work, responsibility, and time. Plus it's not as easy as it looks!"
Everyone else in the clearing stared in confused amazement as this strange demon argued with a small "mirror" and also were shocked to hear the device arguing back with the voice of a young boy.
Miroku turned to Kagome and asked: "Do you know what that is?"
She looked as if she was studying it herself. "At first glance, it looks like a regular compact mirror, but it can send out a calls like a cell phone and recieve video feeds." She was murmuring to herself, and no one heard her but Inuyasha.
"So what does that mean, wench?" he was irritated now.
"It means I've never seen anything like it before. I don't think that is a cell phone, it wouldn't even get a signal out here." She replied.
"What the hell is a cell fone?" He was frustrated and didn't even know why- which made him even more angry- and he just wanted to break something … or run his sword through a certain someone…
After a few more seconds of pointless bickering on both sides, Yusuke finally decided to get to the question he had called for in the first place.
"Whatever… Is there any way you can tell me where I am?"
"Yusuke, I am not your personal Global Positioning System. I don't have time for this-"
'Yusuke… why does that name sound so… familiar,' Kagome thought quietly to herself.
"Look you 400-year-old toddler-"
"I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU NOT TO CALL ME THAT!" Completely ignoring the interruption, Yusuke continued with his rant.
"-all I did was go into a well, and I ended up here! Now if you don't tell me what I need to know, I'll raise so much hell here that you'll have to come down and take me to Spirit World yourself!"
'What the hell is Spirit World?' Inuyasha mind was reeling with too many questions and uncertainties; it was starting to give the poor guy a headache.
"Ok, ok… just calm down!" Koenma said quickly in an attempt to keep the unpredictable, ex-spirit detective from doing anything stupid. "Just tell me exactly what happened-"
"I told you already! I jumped into a strange well, there was this blue light, and here I am," Yusuke said. He was more than a little annoyed that this was taking so long.
"It sounds like you traveled through a portal, but the signal says that you're near where your school should be. Not that you would recognize it. You hardly ever even bother to go…It doesn't make sense."
Suddenly finding her voice, Kagome decided to enlighten the boy as to his whereabouts… er, 'whenabouts'. "You're in Feudal Japan. The well took you about 500 years back in time."
