Chapter 5: An alliance is formed
While at the hut, Natsu and Happy were telling the others about Fairy Tail and the brawls he constantly has with the other mages at the guild. He tells them about the powerful enemies that he fought and their battle with phantom lord. They were laughing with sincerity as he told them about how gray's habit of taking off his clothes and them fighting whenever they saw each other, and how erza can be scary. He then tells them about his battle with the twin dragons sting and rogue, and how he defeated them. They certainly thought nastu was a very strange yet interesting person to talk to.
"Sounds like you have a very interesting guild natsu." Kaede intrigued with a smile.
"Indeed, this erza of yours sounds like a very beautiful woman." Miroku replied, earning a threatening glare from Sango, which made him flinch and sweat bullets like crazy, Natsu chuckled in response.
"It sounds like a lot of fun over there!" Shippo said with excitement and admiration. Inuyasha merely snorted and said. "Yup, you bet!" Natsu replies with a toothy grin.
"Big deal, I bet I could kick their asses if I wanted to." Inuyasha said with pride in his voice. The others sweat dropped and sighed at his response, while natsu just rolled his eyes and said.
"Hate to burst your bubble pal, but you'll pretty much lose, considering that you've gotten your ass kicked twice." Natsu replied nonchalantly, inuyasha was very angry at his response.
"Aye, you would get pulverized." Happy said smugly, inuyasha then was even angrier, he then bonks happy on the head. The others gasped in response. "INUYASHA!" Kagome yells in anger.
"SHUT IT YOU DAMN CAT!" Inuyasha roars, then a fist collided in inuyasha's face, sending him flying through the doorway while the others sat there in shock.
"YOU ASSHOLE! I'M GONNA KICK YOUR ASS FOR HURTIN' HAPPY!" Natsu roars in anger. The others walked out the hut as kagome held happy in her arms.
"HE'S THE ONE WHO PISSED ME OFF!" Inuyasha shot back as he sat up, he then got back on his feet. "THAT DON'T GIVE YOU THE RIGHT TO BONK HIM ON THE HEAD!" Natsu shot back. "YOU WANNA GO FOR ANOTHER ROUND DRAGON BOY?!" Inuyasha barks while in a fighting stance.
"READY WHEN YOU ARE MUTT!" Natsu exclaimed with a wild grin as he cracked his knuckles, they then charged at each other with battle cries, Inuyasha swung his left fist at nastu, who dodged and threw a spinning hook kick to his rib cage, inuyasha claw swipes with his right hand, then natsu ducks and gave inuyasha a skull shattering uppercut, a left hook to his temple, and a spinning roundhouse kick to the head, making him tumble to the ground. Inuyasha got back on his feet and tackles natsu to the ground, then natsu head butts him and tosses inuyasha off of him. Inuyasha the throws a right hook, in which natsu ducks, sweeps him off his leg and collides his foot to his face, making him tumble. The others watched them nervously.
"Geez, who taught you how to fight?" Natsu asks with a bored expression on his face. Inuyasha growls in response and gets back wobbly on his feet and breathing slightly hard.
"I'm not finished yet!" Inuyasha shouts with determination as he charged at natsu. "Kagome, shouldn't you stop them?" Sango asks with a suggestive tone. Kagome replies with an exasperated sigh.
"Inuyasha! Sit!" Kagome shouts, then inuyasha falls face first to he ground, and natsu began bursting into fits of laughter. "Man that never gets old!" Natsu says while laughing. "Shut it pinky!" Inuyasha muffles into the ground.
"Happy, are you okay?" Kagome asks in a baby tone. Happy replies with an Aye and Kagome smiles warmly in response. "Come on guys! Let's get back into the hut!" Kagome shouts.
"Right behind ya Kags!" Natsu replies with a grin as they walked back into the hut. Kagome looked at him and thought. "He called me Kags…" Inuyasha then got back up and stormed off into the hut while grumbling and sat on the floor cross legged with a massive scowl on his face. "I'm gonna kick that bastard's ass one of these days." Inuyasha thought, Kaede then broke the silence and asked.
"So natsu, would you mind explaining to us how you two ended up here in the first place?" Kaede asked politely, natsu then began to thoughtfully scratch his head.
"Well…here's what happened." Natsu trailed off, gathering the others attention. "It all started on Tenrou Island where happy and I traveled to train for about a year. I t had been a few months of intense training and we were straight up starvin'. Natsu says with a light chuckle. "We were gonna catch us some fish for dinner, then outta nowhere, a big fat pig came out of the bushes. So we decided to have some roasted pork for us to eat, then it ran off, that damn swine was pretty fast for a fatty." Natsu said as Sango and Kagome giggled in response. "We then saw it went into a cave, so we followed and it was climbing into an old well. We jumped in, caught the damn piggy, and was ready to roast it. Then some weird purple light came from the old funky well, dragged us through it, and we ended up here." Natsu finished. "Ah, it appears that ye went through the bone eaters well." Kaede replied, natsu and happy then looked at her and blinked in confusion. "Bone eaters well?" Natsu asked with confusion. "Is it a type of well that devours bones?" Happy asked with a puzzled tone, Kagome lightly chuckled in response.
"No. It's an ancient well that's over five hundred years old that brings you from your own timeline to this one. I went through there once." Kagome explained, Natsu and happy gave her surprised looks. "You did?" Both nastu and happy said in unison, Kagome nodded in response. "It happened on my fifteenth birthday, I was being pulled through it by a demon named mistress centipede, then a blast came from my hand burning mistress centipede, then I ended up here. And you know who I saw afterwards?" Kagome asked, Natsu then gave her a puzzled look and said. "The flea bitten bastard?" Natsu answered earning a growl from Inuyasha and a giggle from Kagome. "Mhm, I saw him pinned to a tree by an arrow, one of the villagers attacked and captured me and sent me to Kaede. Then mistress centipede attacked the village and was after me to take the sacred jewel." Kagome explains, earning bewildered looks from natsu and happy.
"Sacred jewel?" Both Nastu and Happy asked in unison. "It's an ancient jewel that makes demons more powerful, I then discovered that it was inside of me." Kagome trailed off as Natsu and Happy gave her surprised looks. "The sacred jewel was inside of you?" Happy asked, earning a nod from Kagome. "How was it inside of you, did ya eat it or somethin'?" Natsu asked puzzled, making Kagome giggle. "No silly, I didn't eat it. I didn't know it was in my body until she ripped it out of me. She then swallowed the jewel and became more powerful, then I pulled out the arrow from inuyasha. He was free and he easily defeated mistress centipede and-
"WHOA! YOU'VE BROUGHT THAT MUTT BACK FROM THE DEAD?!" Natsu exclaimed. "DO YOU USE SOME KIND OF RESSURECTION MAGIC?!" Happy exclaimed along with Natsu. "NO YOU IDIOTS! I WASN'T DEAD, I WAS JUST PUT AN ETERNAL SLEEP!" Inuyasha spat. "INUYASHA! SIT BOY!" Kagome shouted as Inuyasha fell face first while Natsu and Happy let out a short bark of laughter. Kagome then cleared her throat and continued. "As I was saying, he effortlessly slain mistress centipede and tried to take the jewel from me to become a full demon. Kagome trails off. "Wait a minute, what do ya mean by become a "full demon?" Natsu asks in confusion. "Is he a half human half demon hybrid or something?" Happy asks, earning a nod from Kagome and a growl from Inuyasha. "Yes, he sought to possess the sacred jewel and become full demon." Kaede trails off. "I then placed the beads of subjugation on him to prevent him from getting too close to the jewel. This action is done when Kagome yells out the command." Kaede finishes. "You mean whenever Kagome tells him to sit?" Questioned Happy as Inuyasha flinched in response and Kaede replies with a nod. "Ay, that is correct. And a while ago, the jewel had been shattered." Kaede said, then silence filled the room. "IT WHAAAAT?! HOW DID THAT HAPPEN?!" Natsu and Happy questioned in unison. "I shattered the jewel…" Kagome replies with a hint of guilt in her voice, natsu and happy then turn their attention to her. "SHE WHAAAAT?!" Both Natsu and Happy exclaimed, Kagome nods in response.
"Yeah, stupid here shattered the jewel and it scattered all over the place, now we have to gather all of e'm." Inuyasha explained with a scapegoat tone. "I KNOW THAT INUYASHA! YOU DON'T HAVE TO RUB IT IN!" Kagome shouts at him. "YEAH YA MANGY MUTT! YOU DON'T NEED TO BE A TOTAL ASSHOLE ABOUT IT!" Natsu interjects. "YEAH YA DUMB DOG! STOP BEING MEAN TO KAGOME!" Happy interjects along with Natsu, which led to the result of them glaring at him. "All right, ye settle down." Kaede said, they then did as they were told. "And don't forget Inuyasha, ye has nearly completed the jewel." Kaede pointed out, Inuyasha just snorts in response, while Natsu and Happy then gave her surprised looks. "Whoa, seriously?" Natsu asks with amazement. "You nearly completed the jewel?" Questioned happy, the others nodded in response. "Yes that is correct. But Naraku has the rest of the jewel shards." Sango replies as Natsu and Happy gave her looks of confusion. "Okay, who the hell is this Naraku guy?" Natsu asks in curiosity. "Naraku is an evil demon who wants the sacred jewel all to himself." Sango trails off. "Kaede told us he started off as a bandit named Onigumo, and was treated by Kikyo." Natsu gave her a puzzled look. "Who's kikyo?" Natsu asks. "Kikyo is a priestess and Kaede's older sister who died a long time ago and was resurrected. She visited him every day in order to heal him, until one day, a swarm of demons took over Onigumo's body, and that was the day Naraku was born. He then came over to the village of demon slayers where I use to live in and…killed my little brother kohaku." Sango trails off sadly, Natsu and Happy looked at her shocked. "Naraku was also the one who gave me this cursed wind tunnel in my right hand that was passed down to my family, and he killed my father a long time ago when I was a child." Miroku explained grimly, Natsu looked at the ground with his hair covering his eyes. "Naraku destroyed my village, and killed all of my people there. He then brought Kohaku back to life and controlled him. He ordered him to kill everyone at the village, he even attacked me and killed my father. He the tricked me by telling me it was inuyahsa's doing, I was such a fool for believing him." Sango finished as she broke down crying, Miroku then embraced her with a hug and Kilala rubbed her head against hers to comfort her. Natsu felt his blood boiling and tightened his fist in anger and started gritting his teeth as a low guttural growl escaped his throat.
"I'm sorry Sango…"Happy apologized sympathetically, Natsu then punched a hole through the wooden floor and the others stared at him in shock.
"Tell me…where the hell is Naraku bastard?" Natsu questioned with a low angry voice. "I'LL KICK HIS ASS! THEN I'LL BURN HIM INTO A PILE OF ASHES!" Natsu roared in anger as the others continue to stare at him with shocked expressions on their face. "Natsu…" Sango replied as she stared at him in awe with tears streaming down her face.
"So you'll help us defeat Naraku?" Questioned Kagome, Natsu responds with a wide grin and slams his fist into his palm.
"Totally! I'm gonna make the bastard pay for what he's done!" Natsu replied with determination, they all smiled in response while inuyasha snorts.
"Aye! You can totally count us!" Happy chimed.
"Thank you…"Sango thanks with a smile.
"Why do we have to bring these idiots along, they'd be totally useless to us in battle!" Inuyasha replied as the others sighed in response.
"And this is coming from the guy who got his ass kicked twice by me." Natsu replies nonchalantly. "Aye, you've got yourself handed to ya." Happy points out, Inuyasha then stood up.
"You wanna go right now?!" Inuyasha barks. 'You just caught me off guard he last two times!' Natsu then stood up, got into a fighting stance and puts on a feral grin.
"BRING IT ON MUTT! I'M ALL FIRED UP!" Natsu exclaims, but Kagome prevents the two from fighting.
"Would you to knock it off?!" Kagome intervenes, then turns her attention to Inuyasha. "Come on Inuyasha, he could really help us out, he is very strong." Kagome points out kindly.
"I agree with Kagome, he is also quite proficient in unarmed combat and has beaten all of us in battle." Miroku points out. "He's still a loose cannon, we don't' need that." Inuyasha replies. "Like you have room to talk inuyasha." Shippo replies, Inuyasha then grabs and lifts him up by the tail. "WHAT WAS THAT RUNT?!" Inuyasha roared. "INUYASHA SIT BOY!" Kagome shouts and Inuyasha falls to the ground while Natsu and Happy let out a short burst of laughter. Kagome then turns her attention towards Natsu and smiles warmly at him. "So Natsu, what will it be? Would you like to travel with us to beat Naraku and help us look for the jewel shards?" Kagome asks sweetly.
"SURE! I'LL HELP YA OUT!" Natsu replies with a wide toothy grin and a thumbs up.
"Well bow that that's settled, lets hurry and get some sleep, we've got a lot of ground to cover." Miroku suggests as the others nodded in response.
"I'll also have to get my Hirakotsu repaired." Sango replies with a yawn while Natsu grinned at her sheepishly. "Sorry about that." Nastu apologizes while rubbing at the back of his head. "Don't worry about it nastu, it's not completely damaged, and I'll get it fixed in no time." Sango says with a chuckle. Shippo then walks up to natsu and says. "Hey natsu." Natsu then turns his attention to shippo. "What's up lil buddy?" Natsu questions. "Can I sleep next to you?" Shippo asks, Natsu gives him a huge grin and says. "Sure, make yourself at home!" Natsu replies. "Aye, fill free to make yourself comfortable!" Happy chirps, Shippo then climbs on nastu and lies on his belly. Kagome smiles at the sight. "How cute…" She thought in awe. "Anyways, goodnight guys." Kagome says. "NIGHT KAGOME!" They said in unison and they all drifted to sleep. And once they wake up, a new adventure awaits them and they now have someone very strong by their side to help them beat the evil demon Naraku.
