Chapter XXXI: The Warriors Unite

"Inuakki!" A young boy runs into the village nearly another week of constant training on my part. He looks quite beat-up, like he had been fighting before arriving to the village. He also look serious and scared.

"Uh-oh," murmurs Ebony as she stands up alongside me. The boy looks quite familiar to me, in some way, though I know I haven't ever seen him since we all arrived here. But after some memory-search, I matched his face to a certain monk, though the eyes matched a certain demon-slayer.

"That has to be Sango and Miroku's son!" I whisper to Ebony, though I attempted to not look obvious. Ebony manages to stop herself from pointing and exclaiming that she agreed with me. She smiles meekly, then turns her attention back to the boy, who finally reached the half-demon.

"What's going on? What got you beaten up so bad, Masashi??" Inuakki demands as he narrows his eyes. The boy doubles-over with his hands on his knees, trying to catch his breath. I only just notice that he has a demon-slaying weapon that I recognize that Sango's brother Koroku usually used for himself.

"S-some demon," Koroku pants as he tries to catch his breath. "A scorpion demon came and destroyed our house. Inuakki, you have to help us! Mother and father are unconscious!"

"Feh, they're getting weak," Inuakki grumbles under his breath as he looked over the boy's head. But outloud, he says "Alright, show the way, I'm comin'."

"It's gonna be one of those days," I said lightly to Ebony before running off after Inuakki and the boy, Masashi. Ebony comes with, with a bow and a quiver of arrows that she's been working with.

"I hope Miroku didn't teach his kid how to act like him," Ebony said in reply, grinning.

"Oh Goddess, no kidding..."

Glancing over my shoulder, I could see that the others decided to come along, but at their own pace. Probably curious of what this scorpion look like. Frankly, I'm curious as well. Was it going to be as bad as a few I've seen on the shows? And besides, Inuakki probably needs the help. Just in case, of course.

A crash informs us all that it's a big problem.

"So there's the son of a bitch, huh?" Inuakki said as he unsheathes Tensuiga. It transforms into its larger form, yellow lines of lightening sparking around it lightly. But what kinda captures all of our attention is the scorpion that towers over a possible three-story building. If not bigger.

"That's like four out of five HOLY CRAP," I blurt out, struggling to not let my jaw drop to the ground. Now, I can get that big in my other form, as well as Sesshomaru... but let's face it, when you're facing a HUMONGOUS poisonous insect like that... you'd piss your pants.

"I'd give it a five," Ebony admits as her eyes is wide open.

"I, uh, I think I'll be hidin' over here, thanks," Joey said as he hid behind a tree. That doesn't surprise me, actually. I roll my eyes and regain my composure. Maybe someday, I'll thank Joey for being an idiot.

"Does scorpion youkais get that big, usually?" Ebony asks Myoga, who usually sticks around with us.

"Oh no. This one must have either lived for a very long time," Myoga starts, "or someone had enchanted it to that size. If so, then he possibly have wards placed about him."

"So he could be impenetrable and protected from physical attacks and stuff?"

"Exactly."

"Oh great, here we go," I mumble.

"You all stay out of this, this one's mine!" Inuakki yells as us before charging right at the scorpion, who has yet to realize that we're here.

"What's to bet that we'll have to rescue his ass?" Barret said to Cid behind us.

"I bet ya fifteen gil that he defeats the thing," Cid answers.

"Shi', you're on!"

"I almost could say that this guy brings Godzilla to shame," Marco said with such a thoughtful expression.

"Would you like his DNA?" I had to asked.

"I think I'll wait."

"Good choice."

Inuakki charges with the bravery (or stupidity, whichever you look at it) of his father, leaping up and attacking the demon from behind, lopping off a leg and some of its back before it realized that it's being attacked. Screeching out in pain in a tone that would have my ears bleed if I hadn't covered them, it turns around and takes a swipe at Inuakki with a claw. And boy, is he ugly. He has fangs, and considering that normal scorpions don't have teeth at all, that makes him all the more dangerous. His legs are spiked at the end with what seems to be ivory. The front claws are large and deadly, ready to crush his prey or victims. His tail is so long in length that he could probably wrap it around his neck and still have plenty of tail to arch over him to strike; but otherwise, he has a tail curled up on itself to protect its most-fearsome weapon - his stinger. And holy shit, it's three times the length of me...

I don't ever want to run into him in some dark alley.

"Must Inuakki be so destructive??" Cassie said as she has a small look of horror, watching the chopped-off leg twitch.

"With wild demons, you must," Myoga said with a tone that suggests that he had seen this happen often.

"If anything else, I think we should get his DNA," Jake said to his companions, looking to them while laying a hand on Cassie's shoulder. "Maybe the effects could calm him..."

"Doubtful," I said with a grim smirk. "But... it's worth a try." I launch up at the scorpion demon as Inuakki flips backwards, landing on the demon's back. I could see Inuakki having a look of rage, but that doesn't really matter. "Inuakki, grab Marco or someone and get him up here! We could use this big guys' form in battle!"

"You're nuts!"

"I know, but do it anyway!" At this particular moment, the scorpion realizes that he has a snack onboard. I watch as his tail start to unfurl itself in order to use his stinger. With growing dread, I jumped to the closest and largest tree just as he had it uncovered. Launching it at me, I try to wait at the last possible moment before moving out of the way. The tree splintered and cracked, but as I hoped, his stinger got caught. "Now would be a good time!" I yell at Inuakki, who grabs onto Marco (seeing as he's the closest person) and launches onto the demon itself.

"Urgh, he's hairy!" Marco said as he lands on the demons' back, scrunching his face up.

"Get on with it, will ya?" Inuakki growls as I attempt to keep the demon occupied. Punching his rather gruesome face, I now start to dance out of the way of his claws. At least he isn't trying to pull his tail out just yet, being too busy.

Then suddenly, he went into a tranquil state, his claws slowly lowering themselves like he's falling asleep. Feeling something wet on my face, I realize that I was sweating badly. Did I ever tell you that I'm dead-scared of scorpions and bees? I'm allergic to their poisons...

"Most of us can use it in battle, so we better get over to it and begin," Jake said to the others. With a nod, Rachel, Jake, Ax, and Tobias went over to the demon and took a leg, placing their hands on it and now concentrating on the process. The demons' claws hits the ground with a small thud as he seems to finally just fall asleep.

"I take it you dun want that one," Ebony said to Cassie. The girl merely shakes her head, and I'm rather glad that she isn't about to take that big-guys' DNA. I hate scorpions.

"I'll find something else."

All too soon, the others finally got what they wanted, and while Inuakki grabs onto Marco again to jump off, the others ran to the rest of the group. They have but a minute to get away before the scorpion 'wakes' up. I'm not looking forward to dancing away from his claws again, but I was the one closest to him, so I ain't about to let this guy realize that there's other snacks around.

"Wakey wakey!" I said after swallowing a gulp, watching as the scorpion blink its ugly eyes and focuses on me. "Are you going to be a good boy and go back to wherever you came from?" That was little hope of that happening. And I was right to not believe that it would happen, seeing as the scorpion raises back up to his full height again and takes a swipe at me once again. "I guess not - " And at this particular minute, his other claw reaches forward and clamps onto me around the stomach... oh, this can't be good. "Fuck!" I scream out, considering that it hurts like a thousand stingers! Fighting to pry part of his claw from me, I suddenly grow pale while I hear something behind me crack apart. His tail's free. No way am I about to get snuffed out by a stupid insect. "Heaven's Strike!" I yell out as I let loose the beam of energy, striking him full in the chest. He screams and drops me. I land, but then my head screams out with a headache, and I can't tell if it's from the fall or from something else.

"Move it, girl!" Inuakki said as he lands in front of me and raises his sword to block the oncoming tail. But my feet refuses to move from the account of the headache - it was like it was freezing my entire nerve system. "Rose, c'mon!" Growling to himself, Inuakki pushes back the claw, then raises Tensuiga over his head and shoulder. "Wind Scar!" The ground rumbles as the attack flies through the air like lightening while gashes appear in the ground, three ditch-deep lines like a swipe of a claw. It takes two of the scorpions' legs, as well as part of his claw, and while he screams, I scream as well; my head feels like someone's taken a dull ax against my skull!

'What's happening to me?!' I scream in my mind, but other than my hands reaching up to clamp onto my head, I still couldn't move.

When it recovers enough to see where Inuakki's standing at, the scorpion strikes forward with a claw and clamps onto Inuakki's right leg, hoisting him into the air. "URGH!" Inuakki's face grimaces as he finds himself dangling over the claw, his leg caught and getting crushed.

"Inuakki!"

"Rose!!" a few others yells at us. Inuakki struggles to chop off the claw with his sword, but I when I finally regain enough sense to realize that I'm still in reach of a striking tail, it was a minute too late. The tail prepares to strike!

"Ka-me-ha-me-ha!" A bright yellow beam of energy shoots out from the sky and strikes onto the tail. The scorpion and I both scream as his tail disintegrate into nothing. The scorpion drops Inuakki, who flips around in time to land on his feet.

"Finally!" he said with a smirk, racing forward before leaping up and swinging his sword back up over himself. "WIND SCAR!!" The attack severs the scorpion into many pieces, the demon unable to scream and attack no longer. But I pass out from the pain my headache brought, and I couldn't tell you for the life of me if I screamed some more or not before the blackness took me.

"Rose? C'mon Rose, wake up."

Leave me alone. Can't you see I'm trying to sleeping?

"Rose, you really need to get up. Your horn's bleeding!"

So what?

"Yeesh. Fine, then let me get the ice!"

"Urgh, fuck that..." I manage to open my eyes, just to satisfy Ebony. Ice going down your neck reeeaaally sucks.

"Finally!" Ebony pulls away with a rag soaked with blood. I think it's my blood. "You fainted a few minutes ago, screaming. Why was your horn bleeding??"

"How should I know..? I didn't even know that I screamed, let alone bleeding." Then it clicks and I reach a hand up to my horn. It's still bleeding, but only slightly, at the base of it. I can still feel that dull beating of my headache, but it eased somewhat because of my passing out. "Ow... that sucked." Sitting up, I look around. I can see remnants of the battle, torn-up ground and trees, though yet, I don't see anything left of the scorpion. "Where'd that beam of light come from?" I said as I look back to Ebony. She has a rather amused look to her. "What?"

"Well, uh..." She tilts to one side and points in the direction of her tilting. Mystified, I turn to look.

"That should do it!" Goku grins at Inuakki and the others, dusting his hands against each other. Over behind him, I could see a few more people that joined with our group; Piccolo. Krillian. Vegeta. Gohan. Kid Trunks. Kid Gotan. Tien. Yamcha.

Oh great Goddess, help me... I lean my head against my knees. It wasn't a fainting spell or anything. But c'mon! The Z Fighters?!

"Rosie??" Ebony said in worry. I groan out loud.

"Just shoot me. Ebony, please just shoot me. Put me out of my misery." She laughs, making me scowl to myself. With a sigh, I lift my head back up to look back at the new additions. 'How'd they get here??'

I just happen to see Ryan where he's standing at. And wow, can I say that he's gone fanboy on us. He's trying hard to not look at the Z Fighters with admiration, but I could see that it's taking a lot to act nonchalantly. And yet, it's not quite that successful.

"He's definitely from our world," I said to Ebony in a soft undertone. "'Cause how else does he know the Z Fighters and is refraining to go fanboy all over Goku and Gohan?"

"If I recall, if you were in his place, you'd go fangirl all over Piccolo and Vegeta," Ebony whispers back with a grin.

"Alright, alright, you got me there." I lightly grin back before turning back to the Z Fighters. 'It had to have been my teleportation powers. Why can't I keep them under control?' I wonder to myself.

"So hey, are ya alright?" I look up to see Krillian asking me that. He must have wondered over here in curiosity or something. "You were screaming in pain when we arrived."

"I'm fine, I'm peachy," I said as I try hard to not get embarrassed by the fact that I was screaming. Must have made me look like a sissy. "It was just a wound."

"No it wasn't," Inuakki said as he marches over to me with a furious look. "If it wasn't for you, I would have taken out that demon sooner! Why the hell didn't you move, like I told you?!"

Out of sudden instinct, I hissed at him. I don't know why, it just happened. And I am not about to back down. "So you're about to place your mistakes on me? Just because you didn't do the job right doesn't mean that you can go blaming others for it!"

"What did you say to me?!" The one thing I've noticed is that his eyes isn't golden like his father's. That throws me for a minute that I'm glaring into brown eyes, even though it's definitely a shade lighter than Kagome's. "You better take that back, wench!" And so he shoves me against my shoulder. With pure response, I punch him full in the face and he stumbles backwards from me. But instead of making me feel better, my headache increased ten-fold, making me hold a hand against the side of my own face. "What the fuck was that for?!"

"Sit!" Ebony said that word with such force that Inuakki ends up making the hole a few inches deep. As he cusses into the ground and struggles against the beads that Kagome herself probably placed on him, Ebony walks over to me and peers into my face with worry. "Rose, what's wrong??" She indicates to me holding my head like I was the one punched.

"I don't know," I said softly as I squeeze my eyes shut for a minute, trying to push the headache away. "These headaches keeps getting worse... they won't go away."

"Uhhh... ouch." I open my eyes again to glance at Krillian, who's staring at Inuakki in the ground. "Wow, I'm glad I'm not him."

I couldn't help myself; I laughed. "It will take more than that to keep him down. Just give him a minute." Then I wince as my ribs hurt from my laughing. Damn scorpion probably bruised a few ribs on me. So instead of my head, my hand holds against my ribs. The worse thing about this shirt is that I do have exposed skin, and that's the stomach and ribs. And unfortunately, the claw gripped the exposed area. "This sucks," I said to Ebony, who merely grins and shrugs.

"You keep getting into trouble!" Melody runs into view and scowls at me, ignoring Krillian's look of surprise. "Every time we leave, you go and get hurt!"

"You left?" I couldn't help but ask. Then again, I recall all the times that I couldn't seem to find them. I assumed that I didn't spot them because they're so short.

"Kaaaaate! She didn't miss uuuuus!!" Melody yells to the other cat that came in the clearing. I roll my eyes, considering that Melody loves to run off complaining anyway.

"So you have talking cats too, huh?" Krillian said with a laugh.

"And still getting used to it." I shake my head as Inuakki finally rises back up from his hole. And glares in my general direction.

"You bitch!" he yells.

"You Japanese condiment." And then he blinks several times, trying to intercept what I just said. Only Ebony caught on, and she laughs so hard that tears were brought to her eyes. I'm trying hard to keep a straight face.

"Oh yeah, Jeff Dunham action!" Ebony said as she raises a hand up, me responding by high-fiving her.

"Eh?" I think that came from more than one person, and that seems quite confirmed as we both turn back to our captive audience. Many of them were clueless. I merely shrug at them all.

"Maybe someday, we'll watch the DVD. But that's not an option right now," I said with a grin. At least I have good humor again. Wiping at my forehead, I'm delighted to see that I ceased bleeding. But I still need to clean blood off my face. What a pain. "So... how did you all get here?" I have to know; maybe someday, I'll be able to control my vortex ability. It seems to have went out of control since Midgar in the Final Fantasy VII world... And what of these headaches?? Why are they painful, so painful that the base of my horn bleeds at the most extreme? ...and they seem to happen at the expense of someone else's pain. Especially at the scorpion's death, where I actually blacked out from my headache.

"Ahh, well, that's the interesting part!" Krillian begins. But someone cuts him off.

"A stupid vortex interrupted our training," Vegeta said with his arms crossed. Krillian looks slightly disappointed, but he could only shrug as I glance back at him. "So now, we're stranded on your pitiful planet." He glares at each of us in turn. "Whomever was responsible for that vortex is not going to be let off easy."

I think every head turned in my direction. With an anime sweatdrop in my inner eye, I attempt to look innocent. Vegeta, though, seems to have caught on to the silent indication.

"That girl was what brought us here?" he demands as his arms drops to his sides, glaring at me. Oh great. Another hothead is pissed at me. "And yet she couldn't get away from an insect."

"Oh, give me a fucking break," I said with a scowl. Maybe I surprised him with my language, considering that he raised an eyebrow. "I only started learning to fight, dammit. And I have yet to control that ability, so I would much appreciate it if you get off my back about it." Crossing my arms in defiance, I turn away. I have a feeling if it wasn't for Sesshomaru standing at the edge of the clearing, Vegeta might have attacked me out of annoyance. 'Uh-oh...'

With a sharp nod, he turns away and begins walking away. With a groan, my head drops forward with a sigh, me possibly sweatdropping again. "Great, more homework..."

"I feel for ya, Rosie, but I juuuuust can't reach ya," Ebony said as she holds up her fingers and has a inch between them. For that, I double-flipped her off, making her laugh even harder. "You better go follow Sesshomaru-sama, or else he'll give ya even more homework," she said with a grin.

"Going, going..." And with that, I roll my eyes and follow the taiyoukai into the trees.

"What was that about?" Krillian asks Ebony as she continues to wave off Rose, even though she's long gone from sight.

"Well, Rose really is just discovering her powers," Ebony answers as she looks back at him and the others. "She never had those wings and stuff all her life; it was, like, two months ago since that happened. So we've been here for a few weeks now, trying to help her learn how to fight. Though I'm quite useless," she adds with a giggle. "I'm full human."

"So am I, but that doesn't stop me," Krillian said in slight confusion. "So how come your friend had to follow that one guy?"

"It's not often that Lord Sesshomaru offers his expertise," Myoga said, in which Krillian looks around with stupor. "Uh, down here." Krillian looks down to a shoulder and stares at a talking flea. "So it would have been unwise for Rose to ignore him whenever he summons her to train with him."

'Oh great, talking fleas...' "His power level was incredible. So I wouldn't have ignored him, either," Krillian said instead as he looks back to the tree line.

"Hmph..." Vegeta obviously doesn't agree with Krillian.

"That scorpion was huge," Yugi said as he approaches the others from the clearing. Not many of the Yu-Gi-Oh group followed, so Joey, Triston and Yugi were really the only ones who came to see just how powerful the scorpion was. "How's Masashi's parents?"

"Feh," Inuakki replies as he looks over to Masashi tending to two people that Ebony almost didn't recognize. "It'll take more than a stupid insect to take them out. But that's embarrassing compared to the spider hanyou they had to fight for many years."

"Naraku?" Ebony doesn't even have to guess, but she smiles innocently as Inuakki glare at her suspiciously.

"Feh." He gives a curt nod before rolling his eyes. "I suppose that when she gets back that we'll go another round." 'She,' meaning Rose, of course.

"I dun know, Sesshomaru usually wears her down long before their training ends," Ebony said. "Besides, I thought it was Link's turn to battle her."

"He'll get his chance!" Obviously, Inuakki wants to go another round so that he can do a little payback for Rose's punch. His nose still stings.

"What are you all training so hard for?" Goku approaches Ebony and Krillian with a look of interest.

"Ah, well, you know, bad guys to stop, rescue the universe from danger," Ebony said as casually as she could (somehow able to hide her smile).

"Then it's no job for a bunch of amateurs like you," Vegeta said, interrupting Goku of his thought.

"For your information, me and Rose are the only amateurs here," Ebony shot back as she puts her fists on her hips. "The rest of the guys here probably saved their own worlds a few hundred times over! So you have no right to insult them!"

"Wait." Gohan looks around the clearing at all the different people from possibly different eras of time, depending on their world. "So you're all not from this world?"

"Oh no, definitely not," Ebony said for the rest, grinning. "Inuakki and his village are from this world, but many of us got tangled into this either by accident or because they wanted to help me and Rose." She felt a glare from somewhere, and she sweatdrops. "And Rose's animal guardians, of course..."

"Who're your enemies?" Piccolo finally said as he opens his eyes to glance over to Ebony. "What makes them that dangerous, and why has it been placed on two juveniles?"

'Ho boy, talk about scary,' Ebony thought to herself. She spreads her hands in front of her like she wished she knew. "More like one juvenile, and that'd be Rose. We're not sure who they all are, but we know two so far. Well, three, but I'm not even sure of that." She nods to Cloud and his friends. "One that we definitely know is this guy named Malshano, the Black Lion or however his 'title' is. He looks an awful like Cloud and his companion's old enemy, but they've yet to see for themselves. Then there's this other guy named Zikomo. I've seen him in two different forms, as a guy as well as a gigantic black dragon with lightening abilities."

"So what makes this Rose so great?" Vegeta questions further.

"Uh, well..." Ebony nervously rubs the back of her head, moving her purple hair out of habit. "She's the Guardian of Life."

The only person that seemed to have recognize the title is Piccolo, who widens his eyes for a brief second before looking seriously thoughtful to himself.

"What makes that so important?" Vegeta said as he crosses his arms. "Being some guardian gives her no excuse to bring us here."

"Didn't you year her the first time?" Yamcha said, not one bit afraid of Vegeta's displeasure. "If she can't control her portal abilities yet, then she's at no fault. Besides, being here might be of great training for all of us. Didn't you see how that big monster fought?"

"It was a scorpion demon, dude," Ebony said with a grin. "Not a monster. Most creatures-like beings are called demons. That dude that you seen Rose walk off with? He's a great dog demon that holds a large portion of this country, and rightfully called the Western Lord." Then she points to Inuakki with a grin, who glares at her with suspicion. "Inuakki is Lord Sesshomaru's nephew, half dog demon and half human."

"So he's half royalty," Goku said with a laugh.

"Feh! Like they needed to know, stupid wench!" Ebony gave such an evil smile that Inuakki actually recoiled in fear.

"Sit." And so Inuakki kisses dirt once again. "And that's why you have those enchanted beads," Ebony said with a satisfied smirk.

"I dun know, I think you're more evil than Chichi," Tien said while all three of his eyes were wide open out of shock.

"Nah. I'm only evil towards him," Ebony reassures him, while the rest of the group with humor laughed at Inuakki's disgruntled look and Ebony's response.

Most of everyone got settled and were chatting more happily as evening starts to come around. After three hours of training, Rose finally returns to the village, exhaustion written all over her face. At this point, all she was thinking about was the straw mattress waiting for her in the hut she and Ebony share.

That's probably why she never saw that fist flying at her face until it collided with her mouth. Stumbling backwards, she fell over a rock and laid there in shock. Piccolo was expecting an immediate reaction, but he watches as she slowly sat up, then got to her feet, and touch her mouth gently. With a wince, she actually spits out a canine along with blood, and lets out one word;

"Ooooooow..." A fang quickly grew where the tooth once was, and while she doesn't have to worry about missing teeth, her gums were still sore. She looks back up at Piccolo with confusion. "What'd I do to piss you off??" she asks, utterly bewildered of why her favorite Dragon Ball Z character punch her full in the mouth, all the while clutching onto the fang in her hand.

'She's going to be a piece of work,' thought Piccolo as he mentally shakes his head before rushing forward again, aiming another punch to the stomach. At last, she reacts and dodges with speed he hadn't expected of her. He continues the barrage of punches and kicks, scoring at least a third of them. She still has yet to block and attack. "Don't just dodge, fight back!" he barks out, and she responds by stopping one of his fists with one arm and directs a round-house kick. He easily blocked it, but he gave a slight nod as though she was doing better. She still looks quite confused how this happened, but she seems to have brightened at his nod, all-the-same. The practice continues for ten minutes straight before Piccolo thought that she had enough. Even as he stopped and crossed his arms in ease, she falls to her knees out of exhaustion, though she struggles back to her feet. At least she wasn't stupid as to sit down after intense training; she has to walk it off first. "You need to build your endurance," Piccolo said in a criticized voice.

"How did this start again..?" she said with an exhausted voice, obviously still wondering why Piccolo, of all people, decided to go a round with her.

"We can't have the Guardian of Life get killed due to ill-training," he responds with that matter-of-fact voice. "If what was said about you is true, then you're not allowed to die."

"Eh??" He spoke like he knew exactly what role the Guardian of Life had. Looking back up at him, she was hoping against hope that he would specify what he meant.

"Get some rest, then resume training with a warrior," Piccolo said after a minute of regarding her. And with that, he turns away and walks off, dismissing her. Rose thought that it was like he was withholding important information that she isn't cleared to hear yet, even though he could see that she needed it badly.

'Kami must have heard something about the Guardian of Life's role...' She knew that Piccolo and Kami had joined at one point, sometime before Gohan grew up beyond his teenage years. And while the two combined strength, she doesn't have a doubt that they also combined thoughts and knowledge. With a silent sigh, she slowly walks back to the village, trying to regain feeling in her legs. And after a short time of rest, she borrows Kadaj's weapon to spar with Link, just like they had planned for that evening.

Ha ha ha, what an interesting twist I'm giving, which I hadn't even thought of. And then it's off to a new world at the next chapter! What, thought I forgot about this? XD I'm working on the early chapters of many of my stories, so I'm slow. Ebony, I hope that you'll find this satisfactory, as well as the rewrite of the first chapter of this story! Hope to get reviews from you soon!!
