Inuyasha: Trapped in the Present

Part 1

*Two young members of a nearby villiage scurry through a large open field of waist high grass, frantically dashing to avoid an oncoming danger that's closing in faster than they can imagine. There's no where to run, or hide from this threat. Running only delays the inevitable, as the first is struck down from behind from their unknown assailants. Two men, both dressed in traditional garments worn by those in the Age of Discovery, look down on their victim that gasp a few final breathes of air before passing into the next world. The second, falls on the ground, forced to watch her husband die in front of her, tears well up in her eyes, as she realizes she's next. The bigger of the two men, sporting a threadbare beard, prepares to strike down the woman with another strike of the sword, but he is stopped by the other who waves him off.*

Man: "Tell me where it is."

*The other is a taller man. Clean-Cut. Fair Skinned. His piercing blue eyes are almost glowing. He places the fine tip of his sword right against the young woman's throat. He's not here to play games. He's in a foreign land for one thing, and one thing only.*

Man: "Tell me where I can find the rest of the Jewel of Four Souls."

*He opens his hand to reveal five shards from the very Jewel.*

Inuyasha: "ah COME ON Kagome, this is ridiculous. We're so close to finding Naraku and you're going HOME to take another one of your stupid tests!"

*Meanwhile, Higurashi Kagome pedals her ten speed bicycle frantically through the rough terrain of past day Tokyo, Japan. They Sitting on the back of the bicycle with his legs folded over is a frustrated Inuyasha. He always hated it when Kagome would hold up progress of their mission in order to go home for a few days, but this time, it was even more frustrating as they'd been doing SO well collecting shards from Various yokais. And now she pulls THIS.*

Kagome: "Can it. This isn't just some test, this is THE Final Exam for the school year. If I mess this up, I'm going to be held back! My entire academic career is over!"

*He rolls his eyes and mumbles...*

Inuyasha; Yeah, because missing one hundred and seventy days out of the school year certainly didn't end your Academic Career already.

Kagome: "..what was that?"

Inuyasha: "nothing."

*The dog yokai wisely shuts his mouth in order to avoid a "Sit Boy" command by his business partner. Not before long, the duo have returned to the well that started this entire adventure. What seems like ages ago, Kagome slipped into the well, before finding herself 500 years in the past. It always brings a sentimental feeling to the two of them when they return to this very spot.*

Inyasha: "So I guess I'm not talking you out of this one."

Kagome: "Listen, I'll be back in a week TOPS, so s—"

*A strange, yet familiar feeling rushes over the school girl, as she turns to the east. It's the Shikon no Tama. It's near, and she can tell EXACTLY how many pieces of the shattered jewel there is.*

Kagome: "Inuyasha... Jewel shards! There's FIVE of them! Only about one hundred yards away!"

*And it's even worse.. Inuyasha's nose picks up a smell that sends shivers down his spine.*

Inuyasha: "and I can smell human blood. Gallons of it. It stinks! Shit. FIVE Jewel Shards!"

*Kagome grasps the jewel shards she has around her neck. Just as they always do, they begin reacting now that they're near other fragments. She knew that whomever had the five shards a few hundred feet away from them, also knew of their position.*

Man: "... That way."

*The foreigner slits the woman's throat on the way to point in the direction of the shards. His follower nods to him in agreement, as the horsemen take off in the direction of the shards.*

Kagome: "They're coming!"

Inuyasha: "Heh.. Good! Saves me the trouble of running over there and kicking their asses!"

*To be fair, Inuyasha's been in a pissed off, and fighting mood the entire day. He really didn't want Kagome to go and waist time taking those STUPID High School Exams. Stepping in front of Kagome, the half-yokai unsheathes his blade, the Tessaiga in preparation.*

Inuyasha: "there they are. And they're just... humans.. No.. No they can't be. They look too freaking weird!"

*He's never seen this type of yokai before, but didn't want to take any chances. He flicks his wrist, pointing the blade of his Tessaiga towards the enemy.*

Inuyasha: "...what kind of yokais are you?"

Man: ..Yokai? Heh. This one here thinks we're yokais.

*The two men cackle at the half breed, either COMPLETELY unaware of how powerful Inuyasha was, or didn't care.*

Kagome: ".. Inuyasha.. They're not yokais.. They're........... white."

Inuyasha: "EXACTLY."

Kagome: "no... They're from EUROPE."

Inuyasha: "...What part of Japan is that?"

Kagome: "They're not FROM Japan you idiot! It's all the way on the other side of the planet!"

Inuyasha: ".. Well that explains their bad Japanese. I just thought they were stupid or something!"

*Kagome realized that she WAS in the Age of Discovery period, but wondered how two men, presumably Portugese were able to walk on Japanese land without being killed instantly by villagers. The Japanese were never really "cordial" to foreigners during this period of her Country's history.*

Man: "She has them."

Inuyasha: "Hey you bastard! Let me guess. Naraku sent you here to take me out and get these shards huh? Well let me tell you something!"

Man: "Naraku? Who is that?"

Inuyasha: "..what??"

Man: "The Shards, boy. Hand them over."

*They're NOT henchmen of Naraku, which throws the young Dog Yokai off a few moments, but the fact remains. They want something that HE needs to become a full fledged yokai, and that's something that Inuyasha will not allow!*

Inuyasha: "Are you out of your MIND?! KISS my ass!"

*A smile grows on the face of the unknown Portugese traveler, who just happened to hope Inuyasha would give him that response. He turns to the scruffier man, before delivering an order.*

Man: "Kill them both."

*The other Portugese man steps off of the horse that was stolen from the nearby village. With a crazed smile on his face, he jams the jewel shards into his own chest, causing his body to double in size. Inuyasha was no stranger to seeing the Jewel shards abused in h is matter, so he wasn't impressed by the drooling beast that had grown in front of him.*

Inuyasha: "you think that's the first time I've seen that? This is the fifth time this has happened to me this week! What, do you expect me to run away?!"

*The red head growls, before picking up his own horse by the neck, and FLINGING it towards Inuyasha! The Dog Yokai is stunned at the size of a two-thousand pound beast flying towards him, but he instinctively leaps out of the way, watching the poor beast land on it's neck!*

Kagome: "INUYASHA BE CAREFUL!"

*The Dog Yokai turns in midair just as he's snatched by the throat and sent into the grass, kicking up mounds of dirt as he's dragged several feet through the dirt. This wasn't going to be an easy fight.*

Inuyasha: "Shit.. He played me like a fiddle by throwing the horse! He's as strong as a damn ox!"

*He rolls out of the way, avoiding being stomped into the ground before kipping back to his feet. Who the hell are these guys? And if they're not with Naraku, just how in the hell do they know about the Shikon No Tama? Kagome said they weren't from Japan.. Is the legend that far reaching??*

Inuyasha: "Alright Ya bastard! You got a nice little cheapshot there! But try attacking me head on like a man for a change!"

*His opponent simply smiled, before rushing towards him again blindly. THIS time, the dog yokai has something in store for him!*

Inuyasha: "Take THIS!"

*He draws back his Tessaiga, now pulsating with pure energy! The red head rushing towards him had NO idea what was next, as he left his body wide open for the attack!*

Inuyasha: "WINDDDDDDDDD SCARRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!"

*Using the spiritual energy from the shards the Human is using, and his own yokaiic aura, Inuyasha is able to successfully unleash the powerful ki attack DIRECTLY into his opponent's chest! He normally wouldn't go so hard on a human being, but he is, after all, using FIVE shards! Inuyasha's confident grin is slowly wiped away however... as the smoke clears, the human turned beast remains unscathed.*

Inuyasha: "... I've killed one hundred yokais with that attack, and this son of a bitch is just standing there laughing at me... Shit."

*He snatches the surprised half yokai by the throat! He's thrown THROUGH THREE trees and into another before his body hits the ground.*

Kagome: "INUYASHA!"

*Kagome screams out in concern for her best friend, but is only successful in summoning the man's attention. With Inuyasha temporarily out of the fight, Kagome backpeddles from the approaching red head. She's so scared, she trips over a rock and falls to the ground. She scrambles for her bag of arrows, but it's too late, as the man STOMPS on her hand. She looks up to see the man smiling down on her, before he rips the necklace of shards from around her neck! He turns to his boss, before muttering the word–*

Henchman: "Dez."

*Ten shards. Now with Fifteen, the two men were gaining possession frighteningly fast to one of the most powerful jewels ever in existence!*

Man: What is your name?

Kagome: "K..K..Kagome Higurashi.. Who are you? What do you want with these?!"

Man: "I'm sorry about this. But you see, my organization is very interested in this Jewel. I first thought this was just a legend until one of my men brought me a shard a few months ago."

*He turns away from Kagome, walking past his henchmen..*

Man: "What I want..? Isn't it simple? Power."

*Glancing at his Henchman, he gives him the signal. Raising his open palm towards Kagome, his body begins to flash with a growing aura of dark purple energy, aided by the now FIFTEEN shards of the Shikon Jewel. Kagome cowers, unable to accept her fate.*

Inuyasha: "KAGOME!!!!!"

*Neither is Inuyasha, who LEAPS in the way of the attack, taking it all at point blank range. He is engulfed by a dark purple blast atleast ten feet in width. He and Kagome are sent packing as their blown into the Higurashi shrine's well. They fall several feet and vanish into darkness. Everything becomes silent for a few moments, as the dog demon slowly drags himself across what feels like a hard wood floor.*

Inuyasha: "...damnit.. Where the hell... am..."

*He passes out next to Kagome, who's sporting a serious head wound.. Blood slowly spills from her skull to the hard wood floor. A few minutes pass when the entrance to the well is opened up..*

"Kagome?? Inuyasha?? MOM! KAGOME AND INUYASHA ARE HURT!"

*The Yokai reemerges from his unconsciousness for only enough time to see Kagomi's brother, Sota standing over them with a concerned look on his face. Before he passes out, it dawns on him that without the jewel shards, there was no way to get back to his time period.. And that.. Is going to cause some serious problems."

"...shit."

Part 2

*Several hours later, Inuyasha awakens on the floor of the Higurashi shrine's den room. Kagome's family, her mother, grandfather, and little brother carried the injured demon and his partner back inside the house after the beating they sustained from the explorers. Still a little dazed, Inuyasha's eyes slowly focus at the ceiling.*

Inuyasha: That... sucked.

*He feels around his body to make sure all of his parts are still there. Luckily for the half demon, his blessed robe of the fire rat was there once again to protect him from harm. Kagome however, doesn't have anything to protect her, and the last image he saw of her was a small puddle of blood forming around her head.*

Inuyasha: KAGOME!

*He sits up quickly, looking around the room in a panic.. If something happened to her...*

"Could you possibly NOT yell so loud? I did just get a concussion."

*She was sitting next to him, sporting a giant wrap of gauze around her head. He let out a sigh of relief to see that she wasn't too terribly hurt, the first piece of good news in an all around shitty day. Behind her, Mrs. Higurashi was putting the finishing touches on her daughter's bandages.*

Mrs. Higurashi: You guys are lucky I took those nursing classes years ago. I can't imagine what kind of rumors would go around if people found out my daughter and a 67 year old man got hurt while frolicking around the 16th century together!

Inuyasha: HEY! I'm only 18! Those fifty years pinned to a tree don't count!

Kagome: would you STOP yelling?!?! OUCH!

Mrs. Higurashi: Kagome, I want you to take it easy for the next few days. I had to put 32 stitches in your skull. If Concussions aren't treated properly, they can give you problems for the rest of your life!

Sota: Yeah, Bret Hart had to retire from a concussion!

*Sota, life long pro-wrestling fan. He can relate any life situation to something that happened in the world's oldest and greatest fake sport.*

Inuyasha: who the hell is Bret Hart?

Sota: ...never mind.

Mrs. Higurashi: and you Inuyasha.. You had so many bruises, I had to run to the store to get more gauze! You have to be more careful.

*He feels a big patch of cloth on his face. Heh, Kagome's mom is a really nice woman. He still couldn't believe how open she was to letting a Yokai into her home from 500 years ago without asking any questions. This moment almost distracted the half breed away from the real issue, however. Who the HELL were those guys who jumped them. And if they didn't know shit about Naraku, then just how did they know about the jewel. The questions gave him a headache.*

Inuyasha: uhh.. I'm going to go out for a walk in the backyard.

*A few minutes later, Inuyasha finds himself standing near the very plot where he and Kagome met and were jumped 500 years ago. Looking at the sacred tree, his fist balled up in frustration. He knew there was no way to get back to the past without the sacred jewel, and there was nothing he can do about it. Heh, but that never stopped this hard headed bastard from trying the impossible*

Inuyasha: HEEEYAAA!!

*He jumps back into the well blindly, and is not shocked when all his feet lands on hard wood. Doesn't mean he has to like it though.*

Inuyasha: DAMNIT!

*He punches the wall several times, while yelling at the Earth almost incoherently.*

Inuyasha: LET. ME. BACK. IN. TO. MY. OWN. TIME.

*What remains is just a small dent into the dirt. He sighs and sits down in a cross legged position. What is he going to do now? He can't just walk around the city unless he's wearing that STUPID hat to cover his ears, and shoes that make his feet feel cramped up. If he wasn't going able to go back, he was going to have to endure living like caged animal in the present... and that's not something he's planning on going through.*

Kagome: I bet my mom that you'd try to go back to the past.. I won.

Inuyasha: yeah.. Yeah.

Kagome: Oh cheer up you big goof! Let's just consider this some down time. I'll ace my test, and then we'll figure out another way to get back there.

Inuyasha: Oh sure, because there's PLENTY of other ways to go home, Kagome. How about we take those Bus things you always take to get to school.. THAT'LL work.

Kagome: no need to be sarcastic.

*He was really working towards a "sit boy!" if you know what I mean.*

Inuyasha: I don't think you understand the gravity of the situation we're in Kagome. Naraku has most of the shards, and those... *shiver* white people now have fifteen. If we don't get back there soon, who knows what's going to happen!

Kagome: *sighs* I.. I know. I'm scared too. But we can't just let it get us down. So get off of your butt and get back in the house. I'll let you terrorize the cat!

*He thinks about it for a second...*

Inuyasha: ....... NO! I'm not going to just sit around and let this happen!

*He starts punching frivolously at the wall again. Kagome palm faces herself, as she realize she has no other choice but to–*

Kagome: SIT.

*The sound of Inuyasha's face smacking the hard wood is enough to cause a small rumble across the immediate neighborhood!*

Kid: ...was that an earthquake?

Kid 2: ehh.. No more than a 3.

*He sits back up, making sure all of his fangs were in place, before replying...*

Inuyasha: ..sure. Down time it is.

Day 1

*The first day of "Down Time" was even more PAINFULLY slow than Inuyasha could even imagine. Hell, in his time, he could AT LEAST go hunting, practice martial arts, or at the very worst, lay in the grass and watch the clouds stroll by. But in this time, because of his "special" features, he's forced to sit around the house. So what would any other half demon do in his spare time? Sit and watch Kagome study ALL. DAY. LONG. Seriously. Three hours pass and Kagome FINALLY has enough.*

Kagome: Ok, Inuyasha. You're seriously freaking me out.

*He finally gets what he wants, a chance to ARGUE! The second she speaks, Inuyasha leaps from the floor, yelling so loud that the walls in the room are echoing.*

Inuyasha: WELL YOU'RE THE ONE WHO WANTED ME TO JUST SIT AROUND AND WAIT WHILE YOU'RE DOING YOU'RE STUPID STUDYING FOR YOUR STUPID SCHOOL!

Kagome: ...get out of my room.

*He walks out of the room, before SLAMMING the door behind him.*

Inuyasha: THIS SHIT IS BORING!

*A few minutes later, Kagome feels a strange presence of someone STARING at her. You know that feeling, when you feel eyes piercing into your soul?*

Kagome: ..what the...

*She looks through the window, to see the dog demon staring at her from the outside!*

Kagome: .....................................SIT!!!!

*You can pretty much guess what happened after that! A few hours later, the Yokai has finally found someone divert his attention to.. Unfortunately, it's the family cat, Buyo.*

Inuyasha: here kitty kitty.. Come and get the ball! Isn't this your catnip ball? Come and get it!!!

*Swishing the little ball back and forth in front of the cat isn't the smartest thing to do when it's filled with catnip, but Inuyasha takes it one step further.. He pretends to through the ball, sending the cat to run off in search for it. He gets a great laugh out of it, before turning to walk to the kitchen for something to eat.*

Inuyasha: haha.. Stupid ca—

*The LAST thing he hears is the low growl of the HUGE cat attaching itself to his leg, before climbing all the way up to his arm, scratching and tearing at his flesh in attempt to get at it's favorite toy!*

Inuyasha: AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*Buyo turns upside down, covering Inuyasha's face with it's tail and "hind parts" sending the blinded half demon crashing through several articles of furniture!*

Day 2

*The second day isn't much better, as now not only does the yokai have his injuries from the battle two days ago, but he now has cat scratches all over his body. Sitting outside, laying on a hammock, the cut up half demon is approached by Mrs. Higurashi.*

Mrs. H: Kagome told me how bored you've been. Would you like to go into town with me? I'm going grocery shopping.

*He thought about it.. He didn't want to wear that STUPID hat.. And especially the shoes. But he'd much rather take his chances out in the city than go in there and face that damn cat again.*

Inuyasha: ...sure. I'll go.

*It SEEMED like a good idea on paper. Not only would Inuyasha get to see more of Tokyo in it's modern state, but he'd finally be able to take his mind off of the missing Shikon Jewel Shards for AT LEAST a few hours. But this trip was even WORSE than being at home. Why in the hell would a demon as powerful as himself want to go GROCERY shopping he thought as he was forced to push the cart through the aisles.*

Inuyasha: ...what is that smell?

Mrs. H: We're in the shampoo section.

Inuyasha: no..no, it's not that. It's something.. Something AMAZING.

*He let's go of the cart, as the smell literally causes him to float over to a section a few aisles over.*

Inuyasha: ...This must be what heaven is....

*The dog demon falls to his knees, with tears almost streaming out of his eyes.. It's two aisles of NOTHING but Dog Food! A few moments later, Inuyasha slams a twenty-one pound bag of Alpo in the shopping cart as Mrs. Higurashi prepares to check out.*

Inuyasha: Can we.... buy.... this?

*He freezes in place, as he sees Kagome's mother being hit on by a tall man wearing expensive clothes.*

Guy: Wow, you have really soft hands!

Mrs. H: Tha--

Inuyasha: WHO THE HELL ARE YOU AND WHY ARE YOU TALKING TO THIS WOMAN!? YOU DON'T KNOW HER!! DO YOU WANT TO DIE!?!?

*The man runs off crying with a dark stain forming on the back of his pants. Mrs. H, who's a widow clinches her fists in anger.. She hasn't had a man talk to her that way in YEARS.*

Inuyasha: uhh... he didn't look trustworthy.. I was just trying to protect you.

Mrs H: ... let's just pay for this and get home.

*Later, watching over Kagome's shoulder while she steadily studies, Inuyasha reflects over the day's earlier events (of course, making the events sound MUCH bigger than they actually were), all the while munching on a bag of Alpo...*

Inuyasha: I had soooo much fuuuun hanging out with your moooom today Kagome.

Kagome: that's cool.

Inuyasha: I even almost beat up some scum bag who tried to flirt with her! Your mom was sooooooo proud of meeeeee

Kagome: mmhhmm. ...wait. What are you eating?

Inuyasha: this? Oh, your MOOOM bought this for me!

Kagome: .. That's dog food, Inuyasha.

Inuyasha: ........ and your point?

*After realizing his attempts to get her jealous weren't working, he gives up, before leaving the room. Just to cause more attention to himself, he SLAMS the door behind him! Unfortunately, Buyo's tail was in the wrong place and at JUST the right time to get slammed in between the door! The instant rush of pain causes the cat to hiss, before taking it's anger out on the closest person to him.. That's right, the dog demon. Kagome shakes her head as she hears the cat and demon crash down a flight of stairs, breaking the banister on the way down.*

Kagome: ...*sighs*... idiot.

Part 3

Day 3

Inuyasha: hahahaha... I've been dying of boredom over the last two days... and finally it's here... THIS is what I've been waiting for!

*He clutches his hands around a wooden bar tightly...*

Inuyasha: The perfect opportunity to showcase my strength! And all of this thanks to Kagome's snot nosed little brother! Here I come!!

*He stabs the mop into a bucket of water!*

Inuyasha: I'M GOING TO CLEAN THIS ENTIRE HOUSE IN HALF THE TIME THAT LITTLE BASTARD EVER COULD!

*In the next room, Soma is focused intensely on the game of Smackdown vs. Raw 2007 (Hey, they're in Japan, they get stuff CRAZY early!) Gleefully punching away at the keys! He doesn't even notice with the shadow of his mother casts over him from behind..*

Mrs. H: Soma! Why aren't you doing your chores?

*He shrugs*

Sota: Inuyasha said he wanted to do them... I tried to stop him mom, but he's much bigger than I am! He'd chop me down with that "Iron Reaver Soul Stealer" thing!

*Ok folks, here's what REALLY happened just a few hours ago. Sota walked in on Inuyasha, who was half asleep on the hammock with the cat, Buyo in his lap (I guess they got tired of playing cat and jerry with each other) Inuyasha's stomach was full of alpo, with chunks of the dry dog good covering his face. Jealous that this unappreciative house guest gets to do NOTHING while he has to work his butt off cleaning the house AND worry about a school final coming up, the little boy has an idea..*

Sota: ...Hey, Inuyasha.

Inuyasha: hey brat. What's up?

Sota: Just doing chores. You know.. Really fun stuff that Mom lets me do every day after school.

Inuyasha: ..oh yeah? How fun?

Sota: Extremely. It's like training to fight! We have a score sheet set up to see how fast we can clean the house! I was able to do this entire estate in two hours once. NO ONE has been able to do that EVER!

*The little bastard is starting to get the half-yokai's attention! Whenever a contest is in order, Inuyasha's pride shows up out of the blue! He sits up out of the hammock, knocking Buyo away.*

Inuyasha: ...two hours, huh?

Sota: Yes. My mom considers it light speed. Says no one could ever beat that time.. I think she even mentioned that not even you could do it.

Inuyasha: WHAT?!!?!?!?!!? SHE DOESN'T THINK I CAN BEAT A LITTLE KID AT DOING CHORES?!?! GIVE ME THAT DAMN BROOM! >=| GET OUT OF HERE AND GO PLAY THOSE STUPID VIDEO GAMES YOU'RE ALWAYS TALKING ABOUT YA BRAT. I'LL SHOW YOU WHO'S THE FASTEST.

Sota: Oh.. Ok.

*On the inside, Sota has the most DEVILISH grin.*

Mrs. H: so he told you he would do all the work, and specifically made you sit down and play video games.

Sota: What can I say? He's the nicest half demon I've ever met!

*Speaking of the devil, a blur of red and white streak by the Higurashis! It's Inuyasha, now equipped with a vaccum cleaner!*

Inuyasha: Excuse me! I have a house to clean hre! You're in my way!

*He picks up the couch WITH Sota on it with one hand, Vaccum's underneath, drops it, then vanishes just as fast as he appeared!*

Mrs. H: He really is dedicated to his work.... in fact... MR. INUYASHA! AFTER YOU'RE DONE, CAN YOU FIX THE WOOD SHED?!

Sota: That's the spirit, mom!

Mrs. H: scoot over and give me that controller.

*During this all, Kagome's classmates: Yuka, Eri and Ayumi stop to check up on their "sick" classmate. And by checking up, I mean burrowing nose first into her personal life! Outside that very window is Inuyasha, who's cleaning out the gutters of the house, is there to listen to the entire conversation.*

Inuyasha: psh. How come those girls get to interrupt her, and when I do, she sends me off? How is THAT fair?!

*Inside the room.*

Ayumi: oh my GOD, what happened to your head?!!?!?

Kagome: I fell while cleaning out the well a few days ago.

*The girls look at each other, and don't believe it for a SECOND. Eri slowly closes and locks the door to the room, while the other girls pull up chairs from opposite ends. They all sit down and grab a hold of Kagome's hands. On the outside of the room, Inuyasha is hanging over, watching it all transpire.*

Inuyasha: what the hell is this?

Kagome: um... Guys?

Yuka: Kagome... This is an intervention.

Kagome: wha–

Eri: SHHH!

Yuka: We know you didn't fall Kagome. That's the lamest excuse we've ever heard, in fact. Tell us the truth. It was that crazy boyfriend of yours. He hit you, didn't he, Kagome?

Inuyasha: WHA—

*He rushes to cover his mouth! He can't BELIEVE he's hearing this!*

Eri: What was THAT?!

Kagome: that's.. Just the new house cleaner we hired.

Ayumi: Back to the subject at hand. You've told us how he tried to kill someone for just talking to you. How he's goes absolutely insane for no reason sometimes.. And now THIS. That's it. We're cutting you off from him.You're not seeing him anymore.

Kagome: This has nothing to do with h--

Eri: SHHHH!!!

Yuka: We're taking you to see Hojo, not now.. But RIGHT now. Let's go!

Kagome: but I have too---

Eri: SHHHH!!!

*She has NO choice in the matter. Inuyasha watches from a far, as the four girls leave the Higurashi shrine. With a firm grip of the gutters, the half demon doesn't notice the fact that he has twisted it up into a pretzel!*

Inuyasha: ...I hate this time. e_e

Day 4

*The next night, Sota and his grand father are doing what they do best... LOAFING. It's a nice Saturday night, perfect time to watch some good ol family television with each other! Inuyasha walks into the room, patting off black soot and other debris from his robe of the fire rat after another day of house cleaning.*

Inuyasha: Hey Sommmma.. I did the ENTIRE house in under an hour! Beat that!

*Sota chuckles under his breath.. The half demon STILL doesn't understand that he's been duped!*

Sota: wow Inuyasha.. That's great. I don't think I can ever beat that!

Inuyasha: YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT YOU'LL NEVER BEAT IT! ...Hey, what are you guys looking at on that stupid box of light anyway... HEY, WHO IS THAT?!

*Inuyasha pushes the little boy to the other side of the couch before sitting down. On the screen is none other than THE Japanese-Pop idol herself, Utada Hikaru (OOC: and if you didn't think that somehow I'd fit her in this storyline, then you guys in the UCTF are crazy e_e)*

Gramps: IT'S Sota'S GIRLFRIEND.

Sota: SHE IS NOT! ...I just wish she was.

Inuyasha:People in this era are famous for this? Just singing and Dancing? Hell, she's not even really dancing at all! In my time, you become famous by being the strongest! ...even though... I must admit... she's pretty damn easy on the eyes!

"SIT"

*FEELING the lust in the half demon's eyes, Kagome "sits" him from upstairs, putting the poor bastard THROUGH the couch!*

Inuyasha: ...I'll fix that later... can we .... look at something else?

Sota: ..oh CRAP, the UCTF IS on right now! Gramps! Change the channel! Quick quick quick!

Gramps: Alright boy, but I don't know why you watch this fake garbage anyway! In my day, wrestling was real. And the wrestlers had califlower ear from fighting in matches all their lives! These days, these guys look like super models! There's something wrong with that!

Sota: I told you dad, this stuff isn't fake! I have a friend who's uncle who went to college in Anime City's roomate died in an attack by Android 17 one night! Tell HIM it's fake!

Inuyasha: What in the hell are you guys talking about anyway???

Sota: Just watch Inuyasha.. This stuff is AWESOME! I've been waiting to see what happened after On Your Computer X anyway! They said they had missing footage!

*They turn to it, right at the point where William Clarke, Jeice, and Nick Fury are in a conversation. This lasts for a few minutes, which bores the HELL out of someone who's expecting to see a show about fighting and bloodshed!*

Inuyasha; All these guys are doing is talking! This is STUPID.

*Inuyasha's position changes whenever he sees one of THE defining moments in the UCTF! The part where the Arena itself transforms, acting as a dimensional gateway!*

Inuyasha: ..what the..

*The light subsides after a few brief, intense moments, leaving Yuki to slowly fall back to the Earth, completely unconscious from using up all of her energy.. Seconds before landing on the crater that once was the Ring, her body is caught.*

Vegeta: ....

Everyone: *MOUTHS THE FUCK OPEN*

*Vegeta stands completely back to his feet, with hair now in a mix of blonde and white locks. Blue Fur covers his bare arms and chest.*

Vegeta: ...e_e.. what???

*The half demon LEAPS from the hole that used to be his seat, and picks up Sota by the chest!*

Inuyasha: WAS THAT REAL?! WAS THAT FAKE?! TELL ME RIGHT NOW! TELL ME EVERYTHING YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS PLACE!

Sota: ...ok.... well... what you just saw was—

*A half an hour later, Sota has just told Inuyasha the COMPLETE history of the UCTF, the nexus of the Universe information, and even SPECS on the arena that he picked up from the internet!*

Inuyasha: ... I see.

*Moments later, Inuyasha KICKS the door down to Kagome's room!*

Kagome: what the HELL?!!?

Inuyasha: I'm going home.

Part 4

Kagome: what?

Inuyasha: You heard me! I'm going home! I'm getting out of here. Come on, we're going to that UFTC place, we're going to use the Arena, go back to the past, and kick the asses of those ...*shivers* white people who got us stuck in this situation in the first place!

Kagome: umm...

Inuyasha: WHAT.

Kagome: Ok.. Two problems here. The first being, That UCTF show you saw? TOTALLY fake. And secondly, even if what you just said made any sense at all, we couldn't just get up and go there.

Inuyasha: OH, AND WHY NOT?! How far could it possibly be? I'll just Jump there!

Kagome: ... You really do think Japan is the only place on Earth? Don't you. Come here.

*Kagome pulls out a Rand McNally globe, and points to the TINY Island, floating in the Pacific Ocean near China. It's Japan, or as the Japanese call it, "Nippon"*

Kagome: You see this right here?

Inuyasha: .. Yeah?

Kagome: That's where we are. Japan.

Inuyasha: ...Oh my God. You mean to tell me we're on an island THAT SMALL?!!?

Kagome: exactly.

Inuyasha: WHAT ARE THOSE OTHER PLACES!?!?! HOW LONG HAVE THEY BEEN THERE?! HOW COME I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THIS?!

Kagome: will you calm down?! Look. The UCTF is in a place called Anime Island which is.... right. Here.

*She points to a small SPECK of a Island off the coast of California, which actually looks like the artist of the globe got an ink smudge when he was splattering on beige paint for the continents.*

Kagome: That's Anime City. THAT'S where the UCTF is.

Inuyasha: well... if... IF I CAN'T JUMP THERE. WHAT ABOUT THOSE GIANT IRON BIRDS I SEE FLYING OUTSIDE SOMETIMES? WHAT ABOUT THOSE.

Kagome: Do you have any money for airfare? I don't. My mom doesn't.

Inuyasha: Who said anything about paying? I say we TAKE one. LET'S GO.

*Obviously, Inuyasha has no idea about post September 11th 2001. Kagome however, almost instinctly ducks for any military fire from even considering stealing a plane! She gives Inuyasha an annoyed stare, before shaking her head no. The half demon slinks down on Kagome's bed, CRUSHED that his dreams have been taken away from him. He stares up at the ceiling, before coming up with another idea.*

Inuyasha: Hey. You once told me there's this place called the internet where you can get all sorts of information. Could you do the same thing about the UTCF??

*Kagome's surprised that Inuyasha even listened to that conversation that happened ages ago. It actually causes her to smile a little.*

Kagome: yeah. Why do you ask?

Inuyasha: I want to find someone who used to be in that league. Sota told me there were some people in that place that were really powerful. He even said a couple might have been stronger than me. I don't believe that last part, but I do think that if we can find one of these strong guys...

Kagome: Alright. Give me a few minutes.

*Kagome hits up the Internet, and goes to Wikipedia.com. She types in UCTF, and immediately pulls up the entire history of the organization.*

Kagome: I'm here. What do you want to look for?

Inuyasha: Sota said something about Grand Champions. He said only a few people ever got that far. I gaurantee that who ever was good enough to get that Championship would know about that entrance into the other world that I saw.

Kagome: Ok, Grand Champions it is. Let's see if they have a list here.

*She goes to the Grand Championship page, as seen to your right as a nifty screen shot! Scrolling through the fourteen people who have made high enough to the ultimate plateau of the UCTF, one person in particular catches her eye.*

Kagome: Ranma Saotome. I recognize his name.. But from where... OH! He has a school in downtown Tokyo. Opened up about seven years ago.

Inuyasha: Then THAT'S where we're going tomorrow.

Kagome: ...fine Inuyasha. We'll go tomorrow.

*Inuyasha punches his fist into his open palm. He could feel his heart beginning to race.. His half demon blood pumped harder than they have in the last week. He was finally getting somewhere.. And this person he was going to meet.. Only the second person to ever hold this so called "Grand Championship" in the UCTF. He was going to enjoy this!*

Kagome: I really don't like that look in your eyes...

Inuyasha: What's wrong with them??

Kagome: Whenever you get that look, you do something reckless and stupid!

Inuyasha: Only a few times. Don't worry.. We're just going to go to that guy's school, get some information, then go on about our business. Nothing dumb at all.

*He gives her the WORST fake "nice guy" grin he could, but she sees right through it.*

Kagome: ...Sit.

*ELSEWHERE, in the heart of Japan, Downtown Tokyo... The former Grand Champion, the second man to EVER hold the Ultimate prize in the Crossover Tournament Fighting League, Ranma Saotome oversees a brand new batch of brash young hopefuls that are hoping they get a chance to learn under the master of "Anything Goes" Martial Arts. Ranma's success during his short stint in the UCTF has carried on in the real world. Thousands of students every year have traveled great distances in order to seek out his tutiledge. It's made this once poor nomad who had to steal and cheat to get everything he owned a very very rich man.*

Kid: Saotome-Sensei... How long before we get to learn how to fly like you?

Ranma: Not for a VERY long time, kid. It took me almost a month to learn how to levitate. A month of training that I don't really don't want you guys to go through... not for a few years.

*Ranma chuckles. Learning the "Bukujutsu" technique was one of the hardest regiments he ever had to face in his life. Seven years ago on May 14th 1999... Ranma's life had changed dramatically. After almost being beaten to death in the middle of a shocked UCTF crowd at the hands of Devilman and Violence Jack, Ranma was approached in critical care by the then Grand Champion of the UCTF, Prince Vegeta. Vegeta never liked Ranma, and the feeling was reciprocated by the Rumic Fighter, but now, they had a common enemy. The night Ranma shook Vegeta's hand, his life was changed forever. After joining the Ginyu Force, Ranma was healed instantly by the power of the Senzu Bean. Vegeta reversed the effects of the cursed springs, then placed him in a training regiment with his very son, Trunks. Ranma thinks back to that period, as he was training for an upcoming tournament in the UCTF, tag teammed with future UCTF Grand Champion, Miko Mido.*

Vegeta: This is my son, Trunks. He's going to train you.

*Vegeta and Ranma enter a Capsule Corp built training facility, with his eldest child, Trunks already inside, waiting for the first course to begin.*

Ranma: uhh.. No offense Big V, but I already know how to fight. Hahaha, and it's actually much prettier than that stuff you do out there in the ring night after night!

Vegeta: .... but do you know how to fly?

Ranma: ....

Vegeta: I'll leave you two to your own devices. Ja.

*Ranma looks over at the lavander haired saiyan, who's personality was a complete opposite of his very imposing and brutish father.*

Trunks: I'm Trunks Briefs. Yes, that's my real name, and yes, the jokes stopped being funny years ago.

Ranma: Saotome. Ranma Saotome.

*The country boy from Japan and the President of Capsule Corporation shake hands. It was the start of a inpenetrable friendship over the years. Hours upon hours later, the two kids, who were born, raised, and bred to be fighters continue their intense training together.*

Trunks: Focus all of your fighting spirit together, and focus all of it into the ground below you!

*Several weeks later, the training continues. Trunks and now his younger sister Bra fly literal circles around Ranma, who's fighting to even stay a float in the air.*

Ranma: This is EMBARRASSING. How long did it take you guys to learn this stuff?

Trunks: ...learn? Uhh.. We could fly before we could walk, man. We're half saiyans.

Ranma: ...bastards.

*Ranma snaps out of his daze, before looking back down at the snot nosed brat who was too eager to learn how to fly.*

Ranma: We learn how to fly when you can do 100 pushups with just two fingers. In fact, ALL of you. 100 pushups on your finger! Everyone better be in sync with the counting too!

*Outside, Kagome and Inuyasha arrive at the school... the half demon can smell the adrenaline and sweat coming from the fighters on the inside. It actually fills him up with giddiness!*

Kagome: Alright Inuyasha. Remember, be gentle. The word for the day is GENTLE. We go in, ask a few questions then leave, alright?

Inuyasha: Don't worry Kagome, I know what I'm doing, alright?!

*He walks past her and heads towards the double door entrance to the school. That's when she notices...*

Kagome: uhh.. Why do you have the Tess—

*Inuyasha KICKS the door down, causing both structures to collapse from the attack! Students immediately part ways like the red sea, as the Dog demon storms into the room! Behind him, Kagome walks in with her head down, embarrassed to even be seen with him!*

Inuyasha: HEY YOU. I NEED TO HAVE A WORD WITH YOU, RIGHT NOW!

Kagome: yeah.. Reckless and stupid as always.

*All of the new students make a b-line for the door, leaving Inuyasha and Ranma Saotome (who's freaked out of his mind after seeing two 300 pounds doors being kicked out of the way like NOTHING) alone inside the school!*

Ranma: what the HELL is wrong with you!? .........And why does it seem like I'm looking in a mirror?!

*Kagome rubs her chin.. Ranma and Inuyasha DO look like long lost twin brothers! In fact, on the outside, students are gathering a damn crowd!*

Kid: OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! RANMA'S EVIL TWIN JUST SHOWED UP WITH A SWORD AND THEY'RE ABOUT TO FIGHT!! EVERYBODY COME LOOK!

Inuyasha: I need some information.. And YOU'RE going to provide it to me.

Ranma: Like hell I will. I doesn't matter that you're one hell of a handsome guy, you're not going to just bust in here and make demands in my OWN freaking school!

*Kagome sighs, and finds a seat in the corner of the school.*

Kagome: ...and they're both bull headed jerks.

Inuyasha: ALRIGHT. Have it your way then. I've been in a pissed off mood for the last week and have been wanting to blow off steam anyway! LET'S DO THIS!

*By now, scores of citizens have gathered around the school! Ranma and Inuyasha both give a grin to each other and fall into their respective fighting positions!*

Kagome: ..and not for a second did they ever think of talking. *sighs* boys.

Part 5

Inuyasha: ALRIGHT. Have it your way then. I've been in a pissed off mood for the last week and have been wanting to blow off steam anyway! LET'S DO THIS!

*Ranma slinks into his fighting stance. Inuyasha doesn't realize this, but this isn't the first, nor last time some big shot has decided to kick down the doors and challenge the teacher to a fight. It's like a freakin' tradition in this part of town for some reason... or maybe it's just Ranma's luck! He chuckles, before giving the half demon his usual disclaimer--*

Ranma: Remember... you asked for this, you big idiot.

*The owner of the "Saotome School of Anything Goes Martial Arts" springs forward, becoming nothing but a BLUR to the much slower Inuyasha! In that split second that Ranma becomes damn near invisible to the half-demon, he reappears just inches away from the demon, before unloading his "Kachu Tenshin Amaguriken" attack, a flurry of blindingly fast punches directed into the midsection of Inuyasha—THREE HUNDRED to be exact, in the span of a second!*

Ranma: KACHU... TENSHIN... AMAGARUKEN!

* The half demon doesn't have TIME to double over from the pain, as a powerful uppercut connects to his chin, sending him flipping backwards from the impact! The Dog Demon regains control mid-flight, as he flips over on his way down to land on his feet. Unfortunately for him however, using that second to land safely, Inuyasha NEVER sees Ranma positioning himself right under him. He has no way to cover up, and feels the FULL brunt of Saotome's "SHISKABOB KICK," A rapidly ascending kick that slams into Inuyasha's face like a kabob going through meat and vegetables!*

Ranma: SHISHIKABOB KICK!!!!!!

Bystander: Uhh.. Does he have to call out the names of the attacks everytime he does them?

Kid: It's a pride issue. He wants you to know how you're kicking your tail WHILE he's doing it.

Bystander: oh...makes sense to me..

*Inuyasha is knocked BACK through the air from the kick, helpless as Ranma springs off of a high portion of a wall in the dojo, before springing off! The half demon can only watch, as he's a now sitting duck for the martial artist, who manifests a large amount of ki into his feet.*

Inuyasha: oh.. Oh crap.

*Ranma shouts out, before delivering his "SHOOTING STAR KICK!"*

Ranma: SHOOTING STAR KICK!!!!!!!!!

*Inuyasha, never one to block attacks, takes the FULL brunt of the attack in his chest, putting him THROUGH a section of the hard wood floor of the damn school! He comes to rest when his body hits the foundaction of the building.. Only his feet and head are sticking out of the hole, as Ranma lands a few feet away from him.. Hands crossed and not even a sweat broken. All of the students rush back into the school to give their teacher the respect he deserves, while across the room, Kagome just sits with her head in the palm of her hands.*

Kagome: ...THAT was embarrassing.

*The kids chant their teacher's name, as he turns his back on Inuyasha in the ULTIMATE form of disrepect, turning your back to your opponent! He delivers the same line he gives every mongrol that steps inside the school without the proper respect–*

Ranma: Next time, make sure you can fight before you do something as stupid as challenging me. Oh, and I'll send you the bill for the damage you did to the school.

*However, Ranma has no idea that not only is Inuyasha one of the rudest and most inconsiderate sons of bitches throughout the history of time, but he can also take a substanual amount of damage and keep ticking from it. The half demon stands up, half chuckling, and with almost no scratches on him. Ranma and the kids turn around to see the wild, fang bearing grin the half yokai has on his face. The kids turn around and run RIGHT back out of the school as Ranma lets out a sigh.*

Inuyasha: Is that all you've got little man? I'll admit, some of those moves hurt, but if you THINK for one second You've won this fight then you're sadly mistaken!

Kagome: OH GEEZ INUYASHA JUS—

Inuyasha: Butt out of it Kagome, this is a man thing! I let you hit me with everything you had because I wanted to see just how strong you were!

*Which is a damn lie, Inuyasha was just out classed in speed and was surprised into an ass beating! That was an over confidence mistake that he won't make again, however.

Inuyasha: You aren't nearly as strong as everyone makes you out to be.

*Ranma frowns! Someone as boastful and prideful as he is, he HATES to be told he's not strong enough. Inuyasha may have just made the biggest mistake of his life!*

Ranma: Round two?

Inuyasha: ROUND TWO!

*The two Rumic Fighters from different areas leap toward each other as the second round of fighting begins Ranma instinctively goes for his "Kachu Tenshin Amagaruken,' but as the fighter calls out the name, Inuyasha catches his fist! NEVER call out a move twice against the half demon! He proves his point by flinging Saotome across the room with ONE hand! As Ranma spins out of control in midflight, he catches a GLIMPSE of Inuyasha coming towards him with his sharpened claws pointed right at him!*

Inuyasha: SANKON TESSO!!!

*Inuyasha hits the "IRON REAVER, SOUL STEALER" which rips the shirt right off of Ranma's back, and leaves a trail of claw marks down the sensei's chest! As Ranma flips backwards from the attack, Inuyasha catches his foot, before throwing him THROUGH a wall! The half yokai lands on his feet after the attack, and crosses his arms as the hushed crowd watches in shock. NO ONE has ever seen Ranma get a beating such as this on his own turf, and after only ONE hit!*

Inuyasha: NOW WHO CAN'T FIGHT, STUPIDDDDDDD?!

*The kids behind Inuyasha start BOOING! He snaps his head around, bearing fangs at the kids that send them running BACK out of the dojo.*

Inuyasha: HEY! I'm not the bad guy here! He was the one who started the fight!!

Kagome: What world are you living in?! You just invaded his space and disrespected him! Of course he's going to defend himself! HAVE YOU NEVER HEARD OF DOUJYOU YABURI? He probably thinks you were trying to take his signboard of his gym! He had no idea why you showed up! This is YOUR fault!

*Oh, she's serious! Doujyou Yaburi known as "Gym Breaking" - is going to a gym of another school and challenging it to a fight. If you manage to win, you can take the signboard of that gym. If you happen to lose, then you are usually clobbered half to death and kicked out on the street! Of course, Inuyasha doesn't understand this, and thus thinks–*

Inuyasha: OH GREAT. NOW YOU'RE TAKING HIS SIDE!

Kagome: I'M NOT TAKING HIS SIDE, I'M JU—INUYASHA, WATCH OUT!

*Ranma leaps through the hole in the wall in attempt to dive tackle the half demon, but thanks to Kagome's warning, Inuyasha manages to leap right over him! He comes back down in an attempt to drop an elbow on Saotome, who springboards out of the dive tackle and leaps into the air. Inuyasha has him well scouted however, rushing to the point of Ranma's landing, or so he THINKS. That thought is successfully vanquished as Ranma DOESN'T land, and instead, delivers a STIFF kick to the demon's face! Inuyasha kick flips backwards, rubbing his nose.*

Inuyasha: YOU CAN FLY?!

Ranma: Heh.. Surprised?

*Inuyasha doesen't flinch. Obviously he's seen beings do more than fly! So, Ranma decides to show him something that will surly get the half demon's attention.*

Ranma: no? Heh.. Well how about this!

*Building all of his emotions of confidence into ki, Ranma creates a giant physical ball of ki energy right before Inuyasha, Kagome, the students and random bystanders! The students immediately know what this is! Hell, that's why they're PAYING to come to this school! This is the kinda stuff they want to learn!*

Kid: ...That's the.. That's the...

Ranma: MOKO TAKABISHA!

*Translated as the "Pride of the Fierce Tiger" attack, Ranma unleashes a sphere of energy towards Inuyasha! The half demon BARELY manages to escape the attack with his hind intact, before realizing it was only a ruse! Ranma expected Inuyasha to avoid it, which gives him enough time to phase below the falling half demon, with another amount of energy built up!*

Ranma: This is IT!

*Invisible to the human eye, Ranma and Inuyasha's dueling fighting auras have collided and interwined into a whirlwind of energy that, over the years, Ranma was taught to tap into.. Much like Inuyasha's Wind Scar, Ranma focuses into a single, ultimate ki uppercut he calls–*

Ranma: HIRYU... SHOTEN.. HAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!

*The half demon is ENGULFED into the mixture of hot and cold ki! He'S put THROUGH the ceiling, obliterating most of it on the way up! SHOCKED from the amount of energy this frail kid has managed to unleashed, in his most instinctuous state, UNSHEATHS the Tessaiga!*

Kagome: INUYASHA! NO!

Inuyasha: YOU WANT POWER!?!? WIIIIIIIIINDDDDDD SCARRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!

*Inuyasha sends the mixture of ki RIGHT back at Ranma! Saotome, Kagome, and everyone else get the HELL out of dodge, as it connects, leveling what was left of the school in the first place! The entire structure is destroyed in a rush of flying wood and bricks! When it's all said and done, Inuyasha stands in what looks to be a house that has suffered the full effects of an F-5 tornado! It's GONE. COMPLETELY GONE! Ranma slowly walks back to the destruction.. he's not even BREATHING!*

Ranma: ..my... my...

*The half demon realizes what he just did.. And LEGITIMATELY feels bad! He took what was supposed to be a friendly battle, and leveled a guy's lively hood! He feels TERRIBLE.*

Inuyasha: ....uh oh..

*But not as terrible as he's about to feel within the next second.*

Kagome: SIT.

*Inuyasha goes down face first! As he slowly pulls himself back to his knees, he uhh.. Finally decides to take another approach. Talking.*

Inuyasha: ..you don't think you/'d be able to give me any information on the UCTF, could you?

Ranma: .............. th...that was it? ...that's what you wanted to know? ...You... you just wanted to know something about THET FUCKING UCTF?!!?!? YOU KICKED MY DOOR DOWN, CHALLENGED MY PRIDE, THEN DEESTROYED MY SCHOOL OVER A SIMPLE STUPID FUCKING QUESTION I WOULD HAVE GLADLY ANSWERED OVER SOME MOTHERFUCKING TEA!?!?!?!

Inuyasha: ....pretty much....

Kagome: ..I'll handle this. SIT!

*Inuyasha goes down again, and Ranma puts the BOOTS to his ass!*

Ranma: DO YOU *STOMP* REALIZE *STOMP* WHAT THE HELL YOU JUST DID TO ME *STOMP* *STOMP* I NEVER GOT INSURANCE ON THIS STUPID PLACE *STOMP**STOMP**STOMP* YOU HEAR ME?! *STOMP* I ALWAYS THOUGHT INSURANCE WAS A SCAM *STOMP**STOMP**STOMP* AND NOW I'M SHIT UP THE *STOMP* CREEK *STOMP**STOMP**STOMP* WITHOUT A PADDLE! *STOMP**STOMP**STOMP* AND IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT! *STOMP**STOMP* YOU STUPID *STOMP* SON *STOMP* OF *STOMP* A *STOMP* BITCH!!! I COULD KILL YOU *STOMP**STOMP**STOMP*

*The kids look at each other and shrug.*

Kid: Saotome-sensei. You know where to send the refund for my enrollment. Ja ne!

Ranma: ... OHHHH YOU HEAR THAT?!?! *STOMP* HUH!? *STOMP* NOW I HAVE TO PAY EVERYONE BACK *STOMP* DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH THAT'S GOING TO BREAK ME?! *STOMP*

Kagome: SIT!!!

*The half demon was known to screw things up, but this has to be one of the top ten of all time! Kagome lets Ranma kick his ass for a nice chunk of time, throwing in a few "SIT" commands here and there to ENSURE Inuyasha wouldn't be able to get up and defend himself!*

Part 6

*After a few hours, Ranma FINALLY wears himself out of beating Inuyasha senseless. The Sun is literally setting in the distance, as Ranma sits on the stoop of where his Gym used to be. He, Kagome, and Inuyasha all share a pork bun together.*

Ranma: alright. I'm better now. What's your story, kid. Looking to make it big in the professional fighting business? Looking for a payday?

Inuyasha: Not exactly. You see, there's a thing called the Jewel of Four Souls. With it, Kagome and I are able to travel back to my own time. Five Hundred Years in the past. A few days ago, we were ambushed and sent into this time period... without the power of the jewel. We're stuck. Kagome's brother showed me the UCTF yesterday, where the very arena opened a portal and brought someone out. I need that power if I'm going to get back to my own time and balance everything out. We sought you out because we thought you might know something about it all.

*Ranma grits his teeth.. He knows about the UCTF's secret.. Hell, he was in the middle of the action.. On the receiving end of a fully possessed William Clarke beating in front of thousands in the arena and millions watching across the globe. He never talked about it with his friends, but ever since then, he has had a silent anger towards that guy.*

Ranma: ..yeah. I know about it. Heh

*He stands up, stretching his arms behind his head.*

Ranma: That's why I gotta tell ya... you're outta luck.

Inuyasha: what?? Why?

Ranma: That secret has caused two wars already within the last two years. I know the guy who runs the place. We're actually pretty tight. After what he's had to go through rebuilding and protecting that place, he's not going to let you just walk in and "use" it like it's some sort of bathroom. Sorry.

Inuyasha: .....

*Ranma looks back at the crushed half-demon. Even though he had just destroyed his school.. He can't help but to respect the Ungodly power he wields with his sword! Then he thinks on how the UCTF needs new blood. A plan began to arise in his head!*

Ranma: But... since I'm a nice guy.. And OBVIOUSLY I don't have anything else to do in the near future..

Inuyasha: ..yeah??

Ranma: I'll take you to Anime City to meet him.

*Inuyasha LEAPS to his feet in celebration!*

Inuyasha: YES!!! I knew you were a good guy from the moment I laid eyes on you!

*He slaps Ranma in the back.. A little TOO hard. The hit sends the former Martial Arts teacher INTO a car and through the other side! Ranma's leg twitches slightly, probably the last thing it'll ever do before he becomes paralized for the rest of his life.*

Ranma: ...you're welcome.

*A few days later, Ranma and Inuyasha and Kagome prepare to say fairwell to each other at the International Airport in Tokyo. Using the very last of his money, the very generous Ranma Saotome has not only bought Inuyasha a first class ticket to Anime City, but a BRAND NEW suit to boot. Inuyasha however, isn't really appreciative.. Much like a dog who has to wear those stupid "Christmas" sweaters their owners buy them. Man those things are stupid.*

Inuyasha: are you sure you don't want to come??

Kagome: I really wish I could... but you know.. Test.

Inuyasha: I'll be back as soon as I can.

Kagome: Don't be silly. Have fun. I'll be here when you get back.

*Ranma watches the two "Business" partners gaze into each other's eyes like two freaking newly weds. His annoyance over losing his school, AND the fact that Bra wasn't around (her father has just returned after a two year hiatus).. He's in a very hateful mode!*

Ranma: Do you guys want me to turn around so you can kiss?

Kagome: WHAT?!?!

Inuyasha: KISS?!?!?! >=|!! ARE YOU CRAZY?!!?

Ranma: Forget it. Let's go, pup. We have a plane to catch, and as you'll soon learn.. You're not getting through this airport in any less than three hours.

Inuyasha: Alright. Kagome, I promise I'll be back immediately after I get the word. Good luck on your test.

Kagome: Thanks.

*As they leave, Kagome suddenly feels a strange, ominous sensation travel through her body...*

Kagome: ...why did it just feel like I'm never going to see him again? .....Inuyasha.

*She watches the Rumic Warriors from two eras, Ranma Saotome and the Dog Demon Inuyasha, as they vanish into the crowd of people bustling along through the airport. Hours pass, and The duo SOMEHOW make it through customs, even with Inuyasha's sword the Tessaiga. Even with Inuyasha freaking out over EVERY white person he saw on the way to the plane. More hours pass, and the plane is finally off the ground. It flies smoothly over the Pacific Ocean. Inuyasha sleeps peacefully in the window seat of the 747.*

Ranma: Man.. This really is freaking me out how much he looks like me.. And now I now I find out he's from Fuedal Japan... I'm going to have to ask Oyaji about our family Tree.. Find out if we had any Dog F*ckers in the family or something. ...*shivers*

*One eighteen hour trip later, the duo have landed in the new world.. Inuyasha thus far isn't impressed, as the airport looks eerily similar to the one in Japan.*

Inuyasha: What's so damn special about THIS place? It looks Just like Japan!

Ranma: Man, Be Patient, will you?! There. There's the exit. Let's go, the city awaits.

*The glass double doors automatically slide open, successfully surprising the dog demon from the fuedal area. They only hold his attention for a mere second however, as the real display is just beyond the exit of the airport. Inuyasha looks out into the bustling city, TWICE the size of Tokyo. Beyond the cars, he notices the new world he has entered is filled with people of all shapes and sizes. Just as he walks out of the door, a young couple in love holding hands almost clips him as they fly by at a low altitude. His eyes widen at the sight of other people leaping over cars.. one person speeds past him in a blur.*

Ranma: Welcome to Anime City.

*He doesn't even look at Ranma, as his eyes are afixed on the beautiful surroundings has just been introduced to.*

Ranma: Come on man, stop looking up. People will realize you're a tourist.

Inuyasha: ..w..what is this place?

Ranma: A place where you can be yourself without having to worry about being harrassed, or being worried about scaring anyone. As you can see... everyone on this Island is... "special" in their own way to say the least. Here, you won't be persecuted. And most importantly...

*Ranma reaches up and snatches the baseball cap right off of Inuyasha's head, revealing his Dog-Ears...*

Ranma: No stupid hats. Chicks dig Dog Ears in Anime City.

Inuyasha: heh. And you were top shit hot shot here, huh?

Ranma: eh.. I did alright.

Inuyasha: What made you quit?

Ranma: Let's just say I'm a man who knows when his time is up. Besides, After becoming the UCTF Champion, I got enough money to never work again, I got a girlfriend, opened up a school... my life was set.

Inuyasha: Sounds like you went soft to me. I'll never just.. pack up my sword and settle down. I am a fighter. Fighters fight until the end.

Ranma: maybe you're right.

Inuyasha: Of course I'm right, Dumbass. Now where's that guy you were taking me to see?

Ranma: ... there.

*Inuyasha follows Ranma's hand that's pointing through the skyscrapers and at the main attraction. It's the UCTF Grand Arena. Positioned perfectly in the center of the city, it is the life blood.. The Heart of Anime Island. Inuyasha couldn't point his finger on why he felt this way, but the SECOND he saw the building, he knew he was going to blow something up inside of the building one day.*

Ranma: Well, what are we waiting for? He's waiting for us. TAXI!

*One Short taxi trip later, Ranma and Inuyasha make it to the UCTF Arena. They check in with the secretary, before finally meeting up with the President himself.. The Orange Crusher, Jeice!*

Ranma: *Holding Inuyasha Back* PUT THE SWORD DOWN!

Inuyasha: HE'S A DEMON! HE HAS ORANGE SKIN! >=| HE'S EVIL!!

*And the first impression doesn't go so well...*

Jeice: Don't worry bloke! I get that demon thing all the time.. In fact.. Tina says I'm a Demon in the s—WELL that's besides the point. What can I do ya for?

Inuyasha: ...well–

*At the point, I'm sure all of the readers already know what Inuyasha's about to say, so I'll skip all of that talking and just get right down to the nittiest of gritties. Jeice soaks up everything Inuyasha has to say. Immediately, he doesn't trust him. That's not surprising, because Jeice doesn't trust anyone, not even himself, but someone who is showing THIS much interest in using the Grand Arena's "Gift" disturbs him. He's already had to hold off Superman, SHIELD, and Xanthius his damn self from taking control of the nexus and using it for their own personal gain. Hell, he's not even sure the UCTF can transcend time itself...however.. After the conversation he had with Ranma Saotome just a week prior, he's heard big things about the half demon. Perhaps a deal would be in order.*

Jeice: Alright, dog ears. I'll give you a favor, and let you use the Arena.. If you do something for me

Inuyasha: ..what's that?

Jeice: I want to use your sword fighting skills in a battle next week for the UCTF Sword Championship. You participate, I give you what you want.

Inuyasha: ..is that it? I'M IN!

Jeice: The pay for the fight will be —

Inuyasha: I don't need pay. I just want access to the portal, and that's it. So save your mo–

*Ranma SNATCHES the half demon by the collar*

Ranma: You're not accepting the money? You're not ACCEPTING THE MONEY? Hey, here's a little reminder. YOU TRASHED MY SCHOOL. I HAVE TO REBUILD THAT FROM SCRATCH. I HAVE TO GET STUDENTS. YOU DON'T WANT MONEY? YOU'RE TAKING THE MONEY!

Inuyasha: ..oh yeah.. Heh heh.. That. Alright. Pay me, but I want 90% of my rewards to go to this guy.

Jeice: ..and the other ten ?

Inuyasha: To the Higurashi Family.

*The Orange Crusher leans over his table, stretching his hand out towards the Half Breed.*

Jeice: Then we have a deal?

*Inuyasha reaches back over, shaking the President's hand.*

Inuyasha: Deal.

*The half breed and the (not a demon) President finalize the deal with a hand shake. Inuyasha is now an official competitor to the UCTF. As he leaves, Jeice's side kick slowly leans in, whispering a question into the President's ear.*

"Uhh... you realize we need Yuki to do that.. Trick, right?"

Jeice: yeah?

"...and ... you realize ... She said she's never doing that for the UCTF again, even if you shackled her and dragged her lifeless corpse back into the building, right?"

Jeice: yeah, but HE doesn't know that. Once he gets a taste of the big time here in the UCTF, he'll forget all about returning to his own time. Just look at Heero Yuy and the damned Wild Wing boys. They've been here since 2000 and haven't even thought about returning to the Space Colonies. Inuyasha is going to fit in here and like it.

*The President flashes an evil grin.*

Inuyasha: So I guess I'm here for another week until I fight whoever the President tells me to, then I get to go back home and find those assholes who ambushed me... and when I get my hands on them... They're going to be sorry they ever stepped foot inside of Japan.

*The half demon looks over at Ranma, who's staring angrily at a poster of William Clarke, on a wall of UCTF Grand Champions of the past and present.*

Inuyasha: Hey. You listening to me?

Ranma: yeah. Sorry. Let's get out of here.

*As the Duo leaves the Arena together, they are unaware that several thousand feet away, a lone figure watches their every move.*

Vegeta: ....

*Back in Japan, Kagome Higurashi leaves the school a few days after taking her Final Exam. It was a tough year, but seeing the A that she received on her final was enough to make it all worth it. Who can say that they've missed class thanks to going back in time and fighting demons, only to return and make a 4.0? Man, if only America had the education system that Japan does! Putting the results of her test in her pocket, she jumps in the car with her best friends and Hojo to celebrate the end of the school year with a nice round of Karaoke. As they drive off, a dark figure slowly walks out of the shadows, using a Sony Ericsson W300i to phone back to his commanding officer.*

"Sir. It's me."

"What is your progress?"

"It's definitely her. My men positively identified her."

"Five Hundred years, and we've finally found her. Do what you have to do."

"Yes, Sir."

*In an undisclosed location, the figure on the other end disconnects the call. Tossing away a folder labeled "The X Project," the high ranking official enters through a secured entrance, into a room holding only one glass container. He slowly walks to it, reveling in the glowing shards of the Shikon No Tama, kept in perfect condition for over five hundred centuries.*

"It's finally time... to complete you."

End.
