Inuyasha/Artemis II
Warning:this wont make sense to anyone who hasnt watched Inuyasha.
Chapter #1
*"Will you bear my child..." he said in his sleep. Miroku awoke at last to an annoying sound. it sounded like a mosquito buzzing in his ear. finally he remembered. The well..Thats right! im in Kagome's age! he seemed to be surrounded by robe tops/bottoms. Shirts and pants, Kagome called them. He went to a hole in the wall and attempted lean through it. BOINK! His immedikate thought was a barrier, then realized there was a slight cloudiness in the hole. "Must be some strange modern age material", he descided. The view through the hole was not so much beautiful as amazing. Buildings rose many hundreds of feet up into the air! But most amazing were the people. Fighting, talking, walking, and simply going about their daily buisness.
After several minutes he ralized Sango was by his side, mesmirized just as he was. Her clothes looked like normal, except they were re-tailored to look like most of the people walking outside beneath them. Upon sloser inspection he realized that his robes had been changed in much the same way. His rosary that usually kept his Wind Tunnel in check was replaced by a fuzzy material that enveloped his entire hand. "Miroku-Sama!" "Sango-Chan!" They bothed turned at the sound of her voice. She stopped, smiling, in front of her. "Welcome to modern day Tokyo."*

Chapter #2
Over the course of several days Kagome showed Miroku and Sango just about everything to see in Tokyo. They rode on the underground and bus system, fascinating both of them. But after five days, they needed to go back to the Feudal Era. As Kagome, Miroku, and Sango jumped through the well, A horrible notion struck them. Maybe InuYasha and Shippo had been attacked...

Chapter #3
Sylfaen(NEW CHARACTER! i own him, but not So'ounga) sat in the uppermost branches of a tree, thinking about the day. He smiled. Today was the day he finally took his rightful inhertance, So'ounga. His fathers blade... as he gripped the handle, he noticed that there were the faintest pulses going through the sword. Smiling, he said to himself," Let it try to posess me. I have a much stronger will than that Inuyasha."
*When they got back to Inuyasha and Shippo, the only fight they had gotten into was with themselves. Inuyasha was pounding Shippo's head into the floorboards. When he saw Kagome, however, he stopped immediatly. Shippo whined, "Kagome! He wouldn't stop hitting me!" "Inuyasha, Sit Boy!"THUD!!!!! Kagome shouted," Why are you attacking Shippo! What did he do to you!" As an answer, he held up a green and red top, and a small stone statue. "Oh okay. Continue, Inuyasha.
Inuyasha/Artemis II
Chapter#4
Dylan(NEW CHARACTER. I own everything he does.) stood outside on the streets of Tokyo. After months of studying and hard work, he had finally made it out of the U.S. and transferred to Tokyo. After seeing what was in store for him, he decided it was well worth the trouble. Taking a picture out of his pocket of his host family, the Higurashis, he looked it over once more. There was a exxcentric looking grandfather, a mom, a boy who looked to be about 9-10 years old, and a pretty girl that looked only a couple months younger than himself. As he pulled all his luggage to where he was supposed to meet them, he realized that part of the familly was already there. The young girl from the picture,Kagome, he remembered, was farther ahead of the young boy and the rest of the family. He waited for the rest of them to all catch up. "Dylan Sharp, i think was your name?" said Kagome in English. She laughed at his confused look. "in Japan,"she laughed,"it is required to be fluent in english." However, before she could say anything else there was a Thump and an Oof! from behind her. "Sota, whered you go?"asked Kagome. Sota, obviously the boy, asnwered, although his voice was slightly muffled." Under- this- bag. Whats in it anyway?" "Oh." He said,"thats the bag i put my dumbells in. And sorry, i sometimes use that other bag as a ball-bearing cosh." Sota groaned. Striding over to him, he picked up the whole bag with one hand. Sota was amazed. "Wow, Dylan, you're almost as strong as Inuyasha!" Dylan looked over at Kagome, whose blush explained everything. "Ah, It's a boyfriend." He smiled as he walked along with the Higurashis. He had a feeling he'd love Tokyo.
Dylan woke up that morning, quickly put on his new school uniform, and got downstairs before anyone else had woken up. It was ten minutes later before he heard any movements at all. The first person to wake up was Mrs. Higurashi, who got him a bowl of rice. Fumbling with his chopsticks, he quickly got the hang of it and devoured the contents of the bowl with not a grain left. As he got out his Iphone, Mrs. Higurashi said, "are you Nocturnal by nature? Its barely 7:00 now." He said" I like waking up early. As old Benjamin franklin once said, Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise." She clearly didn't undertand him, but he was saved the trouble of explaining as Kagome came down the stairs. 20 Minutes later they were out the door.He heard the grandfather say, "Hmph!Kagome should be fighting with Inuyasha in the feudal era, not gallivanting off to that school of hers. When they were out the door,Kagome talked to him about all the teachers and their schedule for the day. Once he got there, all the kids wanted to ask him questons about America. Of course after that the lessons were all easy. He was slightly perplexed when it was time for history, as it was his worst subject. They were learning about the feudal era, of wicked demons and honourable ones, Priests and priestesses, and the ancient power, the Shikon no Tama. All this jogged her memory. FLASHBACK:Hmph!Kagome should be fighting with Inuyasha in the feudal ere, not gallivanting off to that school of hers! the feudal era..Something was going on, and he was going to find out what.
Fortunately for him, the bell rang right after his discovery. He leaned against the wall and waited for Kagome. A boy passing by said to him, "Im Hojo. You're staying with the Higurashi's?" When he nodded, Hojo continued,"Give these to Kagome. It might help treat her Laryngitis." He handed him a box with Japanese writing on it. Throat tablets, it read. But at that moment Kagome, surrounded by friends, came into view. He walked over to her. "Some Hojo boy gave me these to give to you. Something about Laryngitis?" There was a moment of silence, then all of them burst out laughing. Kagome gave them the evil eye, which silenced them immediatly. As they walked away, he said,"you dont have Laryngitis. Id recognise the symptoms."She blushed."you've been doing something in the feudal era with this man...Inuyasha, havent you?" "Aw well," she said,"You were bound to find out eventually. C'mon, we gotta tell ma we're going." "What about Sota," I asked. "we'll tell her this is more important." He thought to himself,"I knew Japan would be an Adventure!"
Mrs. Higurashi did not like that somebody who "knew nothing about fighting demons" was going into the feudal era, but agreed. She knew she couldnt stop them. However, grandfather put up quite a fight. "He knows nothing about fighting demons! We are responsible for him! If he dies"-One of my deadly looks silenced him. "Explain". He sighed, looking resigned. Once there was an ancient power i the land, the Shikon no Tama..."By the time he was finished explaining, Kagome was ready to go. So off they went, Dylan loping gracefully, Kagome struggling to keep up. At long last they were in the shrine building, staring at an old well. Dylan was rather disbelieving. "I didnt know time machines were disguised as wells,"He said cooly."This is a special case,"she said, sounding rather annoyed. And so they jumped into the well.

Chapter#5
Kagome noticed it first. Dylan's grip was stronger than usual, so she looked over at him. She would've screamed had she not been shocked into silence. Dylan looked just about the same, but the changes were significant. There were eagle-like wings poking out of his back, and his eyebrows were more prominent. "Y-y- you-you're a demon?" Dylan looked horrified. "What! What's happened to me!" Kagome said,"Hmm...You look like an eagle-owl demon hybrid." At this he smiled just the tiniest bit. "That explains my abnormally awesome eyesight." She laughed at this, then said, "Cmon, lets not keep them waiting" He smiled, wondering who "them" might be.
After a little while on the way to Kaede's hut, they noticed a man who looked in bad shape. He looked like a ninja of some sort, and he had a nasty cut all along his side. Looking grim, Dylan walked up to him and stimped on his neck. The ninja stopped struggling at once. "What'dja do that for!" Kagome shouted."I could've saved him!". Dylan replied in a flat tone;" No, you couldn't have. I may not be a doctor or have any experience with priestesses powers, but i knew that blood had already flooded his lung, a fatal wound. I saved him hours of suffering. Kagome had to admit, grudgingly, that he was right. " You've become hard, harder than il'l ever be." Dylan did not respond. He said, " Cmon, this guy might have a weapon I can use." It turned out he did. A short katana and a set of claws. Then they hurried on the way to Kaede's. As he was running after Kagome, who was determined to get there before him, he saw a flash of red. He stopped instantly. a huge sword resting on his throat. "Pathetic," the owner said. Then Dylan remembered his katana. It flashed in the sunlight and now the hanyou was forced to the defensive, blocking the strokes with exaggarated moves. Once he seemed to be getting a little bored, he raised his swor and said " Wind Sca-"BAM! Dylan had used thes oppurtunity to slam the hanyou into the ground. Holding him down with on foot, he prepared to deliver the final blow. Kagome, who had remained silent for the encounter, shouted, "dont!" Her word was all that stopped him from killing the demon then and there. After that, he adopted a more diplomatic strategy. "Why," he said,"did you attack me? I offered no provocation." "Cos you were a demon, and you were chasing Kagome."he answered." "Ah, so you're the Inuyasha she was talking about. he lifted his leg, allowing him to get up. He looked releived. That relief was ephemeral, however, as Kagome looked far from done with him. "Inuyasha..."she growled. He said, "Wait! It was all just a misunderstanding!" but she would not be easily be dissuaded. "SIT! If i have a friend who just happens to be a demon, i dont need you to protect me Every-SIT-Single-SIT-Time!SITSITSITSITSIT!!!" at every "sit", Inuyasha's face would pound into the ground. By this time, Dylan was feeling a bit sorry for him. "Let him go, Kagome." She still looked angry, but she stopped tirading, at least.

Chapter#6
AUTHORS NOTE:Im in a bad mood today, and ive got nobody to beat up. so the best i can do is a five-way battle between Koga, Inuyasha, Sesshomaru, Sylfaen, and Dylan. Enjoy. ;p
The next day around noon, Inuyasha seemed to smell something awefully disgusting. Dylan noticed it too. "That smells like a-""Wolf Shit," Inuyasha interrupted. Dylan looked over at him. Yes, he had smelled wolves, but he had also smelled a dog, and it wasn't Inuyasha's scent either. He had no more time to ponder the matter, however, as a handsome wolf-demon walked up to Kagome and she blushed. However, he seemed surprised at something. "What smells like owl droppings?" Dylan noticed then why Inuyasha despised this jackass so much. He seemed to have manners equivalant to barbarians in the dark ages. "Says the wolf shit" Dylan muttered. Just then, the smell of the dog from earlier appeared with a loud crack. They all turned. A man with silver hair like Inuyasha's, but longer, and no dog ears. His ears were in the same position as a human's, but tapered to a point. He had a blue tunic with gold embroided threads, the style of people from the Continent. But most significant of all was the sword slung over his shoulder. Inuyasha took a step back. Almost at that instant a blue-white portal opened and another demon stepped out. Same story with him. Long, tapered ears and silver hair. Koga looked rather uncertain about why all these people had appeared. It was almost as if Inuyasha had planned this. But he was just as confused. "Sesshomaru? What the hell are you doing here? And who the hell are you?" He pointed at the man wearing the blue tunic. He answered," I am Sylfaen, Third son of the great dog-demon."
Chapter#7
"Th-Third?"Inuyasha spluttered. Sesshomaru, at the same time, looked over at him. His eyes narrowed. Resting above his shoulder was So'unga, the sword that should have been his. But, he realized, he was a lot less angry about the fact than he would have been if he had met Sylfaen a year prior. But, he still wanted that sword. Only Sylfaen's lightning reflexes saved him from a quick blow to the neck. This caused Dylan to counter-attack as Sylfaen jumped at him, apparently unaware that the was there. Inuyasha swiped at Sylfaen with Tetsigua because he had landed on Sango. Sesshomaru noticed Koga, the one who had killled Rin for the first time with his wolves, and diverted his attention to him and pummeled, pulverized, and obliterated the poor wolf. After several minutes of intense fighting, Dylan seemed to get bored. He was in a state of stalemate as he was fighting Sylfaen, so he pulled a 92F Bereta on him and fired straight into his solar plexis.(Spot directly under where the the two sides of the ribcage) It had immediate effects. Sylfaen dropped to his knees. Sesshomaru was next. He ducked, but the bullet still managed to scrape his jugular vein. Blood splattered everywhere. Dylan, breathing heavy, began to clean his katana.
Chapter#8
Kagome said,"How did you get that gun past airport security?""They made allowances for me."Kagome still looked puzzled. Dylan sighed. "I am not without secrets. Did your mother not tell you my full name?" Kagome shook her head. "Very well then-Dylan Kennedy Oppenheimer Einsteine Sharp." Kagome clapped her hand over her mouth. When she recovered, she shot a murderous look at Dylan. "My grandfather's brother died in the Hiroshima bombing!" Dylan said, sounding sincere," Than all i can say is sorry. I did not influence the bombing in any way. Inuyasha, Miroku, Sango, and Shippo looked confused. Sango said, " What bombing? And for that matter, what is a bomb?" Dylan said," If you want to know, dont interrupt me. And so the most interesting lecture ever began. "A bomb is something that explodes; goes up in a fireball and is used to kill people. But onto more interesting matters. About 410 years from now, people discovered that splitting atoms:the building blocks of the universe, created 200,000 watts of electricity. but few things are suitible for that proscess, known as fission. Uranium 235, for example, is the best. It is derived from uranim or, a gooey- like substance. They also realized that this would create an immenly powerful bomb. A sphere the size of an orange would produce an explosion equivalant to 20,000 tons of TNT: a high explosive, which at the time a half ton could make mincemeat out of 3/4 mile long war machines."Awesome!!!" Said Inuyasha, Sylfaen, and Sesshomaru at the same time. "Where can I get some!" They all said, once again in unison. Dylan glared." You interrupted me, but i will still answer that question. You cant. Uranium ore itself is very rare, and you do not have the time nor facilities to make even the smallest bit of uranium 235. But, as i was saying, the americans: the people of a country who live far across the sea to the east, dropped the bomb on two japanese cities. Since i am informed that this land is not yet unified, that is this entire landmass+ three other islands,. Would you like to hear what happened to the cities?" They all nodded. He said," The bomb detonated, and everything within 2000 feet simply vanished, such was the power of the bomb. Birds fell from the sky in flames. Shadows of people remaind from the intant before they evaporated, imprinted on walls or the ground for eternity. Farther along, people turned to charcoal statues, with blue nimbuses of flames around their fingertips. Even farther away a huge train: A several ton, long vehicle that people use to get around faster, was flung far across the ground like a toy. If that wasnt enough, the air itself had been vaporized, and air rushed back into the void that was left, creating a massive tornado that sucked in everything." They were speechless for about a minute, and than Koga said," Two questions...Why did they do it, how did they do it, and didnt you say there were two bombs dropped?Why didnt they surrender after the first bomb?" Dylan said," Il'l answer your questions in order. They did it because the japanese launched a mass attack on an American harbor, who at that time were neutral and killed thousands. They did it with a plane, a flying vehicle that can drop bombs on cities. And the reason the japs didnt surrender, was the best bit. Hiroshima, the first city, was so utterly annhiliated accurate reports couldn't be sent to tokyo." After another minute Sesshomaru said,"that would have shamed the devil. Its enough to make me never want to take a life, ever again." He walked off, and Dylan said,"Mission Accomplished!"

Chapter#9
The next morning, Dylan announced that he was leaving to find a sword that better served his purposes. Sylfaen, who had decided to stay with them as a result of the shot to his chest cavity, said" Why bother? You have that magical short black thing, why not use that?" Dylan was quick to respond." It's called a gun. And, like a bow, it needs ammunition." Sylfaen looked rather put out. Turned out the mysterious weapon was not completely magical. Inuyasha said," Why not talk to Totosai?" "Totosai?" Dylan repeated, sounding puzzled. "The smith that made my Tetsigua." Dylan smiled. He was going to need a masterful swordsmith for the blade he had in mind. "However,"Inuyasha continued,"you dont know where he is, so ill show you there. Miroku, Sango, Shippo, Kiara, protect Kagome while we're gone." Sylfaen said weakly," I might as well do so as well. It wont do for the girl to die, especialy since she's the only one who seems to know the nature of this wound." Inuyasha thanked him, and said," C'mon, we cant wait around all day!" Dylan grinned as Inuyasha ran off, seeing it as a challenge. He unfurled his brown wings, and jumped up to follow him from the sky. It was easy enough. He was a bright red dot among a mass of green. He flapped his wings, now that he had mastered the motion, surpassed the great speed Inuyasha was running at with little difficulty. He remained thus for a few hours, gliding now and then to allow Inuyasha catch up. After a long while they reached Totosai's forge. He mentioned to him that he needed a sword. Totosai said," A sword, you say? Well, I assume that you dont want it to be run-of-the-mill? And how large does it need to be?" Dylan smiled. This man was to his liking. "I prefer them to be fast and agile, but as im a demon thats a lost cause. Perhaps One thumblength wide, And a blade slightly taller than me" It took Totosai about half an hour to make the main body of the sword. After that he asked,"What shall it's special ability be?" Dylan whispered to him, although Inuyasha still managed to hear. "Control over nature and the netherworld". Totosai grunted. " Is that so? Then take this." He handed Dylan the incomplete sword." Kill the demon named Sinjid with this, and allow the sword to take his spirit. But before you go, what shall your sword be named?" A smile creased Dylans face. "Tamerlein. My sword shall be named Tamerlein." As he said it, the blade turne a shade of dark green. Totosai was surprised. That rarely happened to swords when named. It meant that the sword and their master were already starting to bond. And without further ado, he flew out of the cave and towards the setting sun in the west.
Inuyasha/Artemis II
Chapter #10
When Inuyasha and Dylan began to get ready to settle down for the night, they decided to spar and hone their reflexes for tomorrow. Dylan unsheathed his massive war sword with an easy flick. Had Inuyasha been formally trained in swordfighting, he would have been more careful. Alas, it was not to be. "Are you ready, Dylan?" Inuyasha taunted from across the clearing. Inuyasha closed in on him and performed a backhand swipe at Dylan's left side. Dylan , a fraction before the large blade struck, used a small counterswing to jar Inuyasha's arm, senting Tetsigua spinning away. Inuyasha retrieved it and stayed on the defensive. Then he learned what swordsmanship was all about. Dylan executed overhand strik, feinting to the left but intentionally missing and closing in on the right. Backhand, forehand, overhead, stabbing and slashing while all the while Inuyasha could not counterattack. Tetsigua dropped as Inuyasha, with an involuntary cry, lurched backwards and fell over. His right hand was raw from the beating Tetsigua had suffered. Finding a small V shaped fork in a tree branch, Dylan sat down in it, layed back, and went to sleep, leaving Inuyasha to his own devices.
Inuyasha/Artemis II
Chapter#11
Over the course of the next day, Dylan grew more and more agitated. It felt as if a storm was gathering on the corners of his conscience. He flew lower to the ground, and saw that Inuyasha was also getting fidgetty. When they stopped for the night, He asked Inuyasha, "Have you ever had the feeling that something huge is above you, but you cant see it, even though you're sure somethings there?". Inuyasha answered,"Once. I was hunting a massive demon called Ryukotsuei, and for a while i sensed an evil presence looming on the horison.
Chapter#12
It was soon after sunup when Inuyasha's ears pricked up. He sniffed once and his eyes locked on something in the trees. "Name yourself!" He shouted. A large red eye came level to them in the trees. The being spoke in a guttaral voice. " Names have power, but you may call me Sinjid." Inuyasha's eyes locked on Dylans and he nodded. Dylan drew his sword, doing his best to be quiet about it. Yet for all his care, The being's eyes locked on him, and there was a WHOOSH as Dylan was knocked of his feet by a massive, green, leathery tail. Or was the tail the whole body? He wondered. It was. The creature was a massive, writhing snake, knocking trees down and keeping either Inuyasha or Dylan from doing anything. At last the snake demon had gone too far. He smashed his tail a bit too hard and bothe Dylan and Inuyasha into the trees. Dylan drew his blade and examined it. It scalloped near the end to make it better for hacking and slashing. However, it also made the sword great for throwing. A heavy hilt and crossguard, with enough weight to drive it into the enemy. He brought back his arm and flung the sword with all his might and prodigous accuracy. The blade struck home. It buried itself into the demon's left eye and it reared. He did not manage to kill it though, so he closed in with his katana. He kept cutting the snake's leathery hide open while it was powerless to stop him, sas it was blinded by rivulets of blood. But times changed. Sinjid got lucky and closed his fangs around Dylans leg, pumping a full load of venom into him. Sinjid then flung Dylan to the ground. "NO!!!!!" Inuyasha shouted, and ran toward Dylan. A bright flash ran around the clearing, and inuyasha turned tail and ran the other way, since the light came from Dylan's open eyes. If Dylan could kill Inuyasha in his normal form, it would considerably shorten his life span to be near him in his demon form. Dylan rose. " Ill kill you now!" He sprang at Sinjid, who, for all his speed, could not move fast enough. Dylan's talons stripped off part the snake's hide. But he wasn't done yet. He opened his wingspan and fler back, cutting open the demon's other eye. He retreived his sword and rent Sinjid from head to scaly end. He took a step towards Inuyasha, but then collapsed. Inuyasha bent over. Dylan was in bad shape. He only knew one person who would be able to help him. _ _ _ _ _ _ _(fill in the letters)
Inuyasha/Artemis II
Chapter#13
Jinenji and his mother sat cross-legged doing some hocus-pokus with herbs. If it were anyone else Inuyasha would have questioned them to make sure they were really herbs and not just some trap Naraku had lured them into. As he had complete faith in his abilities, however, he remained silent. He knew this sort of thing would likely require concentration, and he was certain thet Dylan would hant his halls forevermore if he was the cause or his death. His ear perked up as he heard some mumbling. Jinenji said," You're very lucky you got here in time. That much venom could have easily killed him." Inuyasha heaved a sigh of relief for two reasons. 1# No hauntings for the rest of eternity. 2# Jinenji had overcome a formidable obstacle that had plauged him in the past; Shyness. He was barely able to put 5 words together when Inuyasha had first met him. Inuyasha said, "How many days until he recovers?" He shifted anxiously. He didnt like leaving Kagome for extended periods of time. Jinenji's answer was long in coming. "Maybe a few hours, but he shouldnt move for a day after that." Inuyasha nodded appreciatevly. That would make their overall journey 4 days, a relatively short amount of time.
Chapter#14
One day later, Inuyasha was waving Jinenji goodbye. "If the villagers act up again, just come to me" He said. Jinenji smiled. "Thank you, Inuyasha," and lumbered back into his hut. Dylan was still a bit unsteady, but in good enough shape to fly. Thus the constant burden of a tall owl-eagle demon, as he waited for a good place to take off. Inuyasha was slightly annoyed that he was being used as a crutch, but did his best to push the unwelcome thought out of his mind. There was one bright spot in the way back. Dylan would be an easier opponent in their nightly sparring bouts. It turns out that he was mistaken. Dylan swung his sword with enough force to make tetsigua spin away and through a tree. Dylan discarded his own weapon as well and used a knife-hand slice to deliver a powerful blow to a major pressure point, and inuyasha toppled to the ground. Dylan strode away and went to sleep almost instantly, but only after retrieving both of their swords.
