Epilogue: The Chase Revisited.

 

Eddie the Eel nursed the Vodka tonic in front of him. He was in a small dark bar surrounded by the middle class that frequented down town Tokyo. He wasn't exactly thrilled to be back in this city almost a week and a half later, but a job opportunity had presented itself, and he went were the money was.

 

The job was a simple tech theft. He'd been in and out with no problems and now he had half a million dollars in one of his many bank accounts. He took another drink, smiling as the liquid burned his way down his throat. He set the glass down and watched the little TV behind the bar. The woman behind the bar walked up to him and set down a shot glass filled with a dark colored substance.

 

"What is this?" he asked eyeing the shot.

 

The bartender shrugged and said. "It's called an Alabama Slammer. Guy at the end of the bar sends it and his regards." she turned to take and order from the guy next to Eddie as he stared at the shot. The irony of the name was not lost on him. He looked down the bar and saw a man that was raising an identical shot in toast towards him. Eddie's insides went cold. It was the Capsule Corp guy. The one he thought had gotten blown up by his charges. Eddie quickly stood, knocking the drinks on the bar over. He backpedaled away, bumping into people as he made a hasty exit out the bar's back doors.

 

Once outside he took off into a full sprint. He had no idea how he had been found, but he wasn't going to find out. He ran as fast as he could, changing directions on each block. He didn't stop for a full five minuets until he came to a stop in an alley way. He retreated into the shadows and watched the entrance, trying to calm his breathing. The alcohol he had consumed now gone due to the adrenaline.

 

A few minuets later the security officer walked past the alley way. He didn't even look like he was looking for anything; he calmly sipped on a drink he had picked up somewhere. Eddie held his breath until he disappeared. He held it again as the man reappeared.

 

"It's not too late to give yourself up." he called into the darkened alley. Eddie cursed him silently. He wasn't sure how this guy knew he was in here but he didn't look like he was going to leave. He watched as he put the straw up to his lips and drank again. When done he spoke once more.

 

"Don't say I never gave you a chance."

 

A low growl started behind Eddie and his blood ran cold. He quickly turned as a loud thump echoed on the dumpster behind him rang out. He tried running but was knocked off his feet, pinned to the wall by an arm. He tried struggling but the arm remained. He looked up into the golden eyes of a man. A man with white triangular ears, silvery hair, and large sharp canine teeth. The man brought his other hand up and instead of fingernails, this guy had claws. He leaned closer and spoke.

 

"I remember your smell. You were near the shrine. You're the one that endangered a girl there with your 'bomb'." The last word was said as though this person was unfamiliar with the term. The growl started up again as Eddie was slammed harder into the wall.

 

"I should kill you for that." the man that had a hold of him threatend. Eddie looked towards the alley entrance to see the security officer walking towards them, throwing the drink away.

 

"Now now, Inuyasha, We don't want to tear him to shreds in this little alleyway. We want him to rot away in jail." he said. The one called Inuyasha snarled at Eddie.

 

"No! I want him dead. He could have hurt her." the last was said in a whisper as the clawed hand smashed into the brick wall beside Eddies head. His face paled and his heart raced as he heard the brick crumble.

 

"But he will suffer more in jail, trust me." Lennex replied as he walked up even with Inuyasha and glared at Eddie. "And if he does anything else again like threaten people or steal things..." He left the threat hanging as an invisible wind swept up around him, his hair flashing gold for a few moments and a golden light seemed to surround him, "Then we can kill him, you found him once, you can find him again." Lennex finished, powering down. Eddie looked like he was about to have an accident. His eyes were bugged out and he was starting to babble. Inuyasha leaned in close again and growled louder before tossing the man into a pile of boxes and trash.

 

Eddie was so freighted that even when the two left and the police officers arrived ten minutes later, he had not moved an inch. The officers helped him up and listened to him babble about the 'golden and clawed men'. The officers threw each other a look as they smelled the trash and alcohol all over the man and put him into the back of the car. The look clearly said that the man was a loon.

 

They drove off with Eddie, taking the career criminal to justice, and two men watched from the rooftops.

 

"Thanks again for the assistance, Inuyasha."

 

The half demon snorted. "You were just lucky that his scent was still on the last crime scene. I had a hard time tracking it with all these different smells."

 

Lennex shook his head in agreement and looked out at the city. "This really is a different place in this time isn't it?" he asked. He didn't expect an answer as Inuyasha stared out towards the city with him.

 

"Keh, this place stinks, lets go back to the shrine, I do have shards to find." he said

 

Lennex smiled and asked. "You know the way back?"

 

The half demon nodded and Lennex said "Race you back."

 

Inuyasha grinned and jumped from rooftop to rooftop as fast as he could. Lennex laughed bringing his power equal to Inuyasha's; he could have flown, but wanted the contest to be legitimate. He quickly followed his friend across the rooftops of Tokyo, the moon and stars the only witness to their friendly game.

 

 

 

Fin.

 

 

Well everyone that was my wild ride in the crossover universe. I hope you enjoyed the read as much as I enjoyed writing it. I hope to finally put the prequels to this story on paper and get them out there soon, but a sequel to this one has already begun to form so we will have to see. Thanks to all those that reviewed and to my friends who kept on me to finish this.
