InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ To Modern Tokyo And Back Again ❯ Chapter One ( Chapter 1 )

Chapter One

//------------------//------------------//------------------//-- ----------------//------------------//

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the original InuYasha characters, but I do own all my original

Characters which will be introduced in later chapters.

Sorry if some of the things I write here contradict things that have been said in the show, Such as Miroku not being able to go through the well, but I have to change it in order for my story to make sense. I also haven't watch all the episodes, so I'm no expert about any character…

//------------------//------------------//------------------//-- ----------------//------------------//

"Would you ever go to Kagome's time?" Asked InuYasha, curious.

"I would most likely go. I'd like to see how diverse it is from our era." Miroku replied.

"We could go, actually. Nothing's really stopping us, you know."

"Where are you going with this, InuYasha?" Asked Miroku, doubtful.

"Nowhere," Said InuYasha dryly.

He would not tolerate Miroku suspecting him, as he usually did, very much like he always figured out what InuYasha was trying to hide.

"InuYasha, you are obviously hinting something. Just tell me, you know I will figure it out eventually, not that I already have, of course…"

"Shut up you monk."

"You want to know what I think?"

"Feh."

"I think you really want to go visit. And honestly, I can't say I blame you. We're all a little curious…"

"Especially you."

"…So you really think we should go?" Continued Miroku, pretending not to have heard.

InuYasha nodded.

Something that didn't happen all that often these days was the fact the InuYasha and Miroku were agreeing voluntarily about something. They both got up and headed for the Bone-Eater's well and jumped in. Soon after, they found themselves in the bottom of it in modern Tokyo, near Kagome's family's shrine. The first thing InuYasha's ears picked up were the sound of cars driving by and he could smell all kinds of fumes and scents, most of which he was very unfamiliar with. Keen to discover what was producing all of them, he quickly climbed out of the well.

"InuYasha, wait one moment, where are you going?" Asked Miroku, a lot more hesitant.

"Going to check out this place, aren't you coming?"

"But I just though of something. We come straight out of the middle ages, we won't exactly blend in, what with my staff and your ears, and our clothing."

"I guess so… But where are we supposed to find clothes?" Said InuYasha, not taking the time to think about it.

"I'm sure Kagome must have some spare ones…" Suggested Miroku.

"She's a girl, stupid monk; you just want an excuse to look through her closet!" Snapped InuYasha, jumping back into the well.

"Well let's go see anyway…" Insisted Miroku, an eager grin on his face, as he began to climb out of the well.

A few minutes later they we're inside Kagome's room, InuYasha keeping a close eye on Miroku in case he tried to steel something. Meanwhile Miroku was rummaging through every drawer. Afterwards, when InuYasha had finally convinced him they couldn't wear Kagome's clothes, they went through the rest of the house, looking for something to dress themselves with, but ended up with nothing.

"I have an idea. There has to be somebody who lives near here with clothes that fit us. Let's go look in other people's houses." Decided InuYasha.

This being there only option, the decided to try the closest house. Miroku soon found himself dressed with metal spikes around his neck and wrists and baggy pants and shirt. To complete his look, he soon found some gel in the bathroom and styled his hair in the most bizarre way. He'd gotten this idea from the people on the magazine cover he'd seen in the boy's room in which they were stealing his clothing. InuYasha was wearing a tuxedo, a long black jacket and a large straw hat with a few plastic fruits attached to it to hide his ears. Where he'd gotten this idea, nobody would ever know.

Assuming they'd blend in just fine, they left the house and set off aimlessly. People soon began to snicker at this odd pair (more specifically, at InuYasha) walking through the streets of Tokyo. Miroku had forgotten to somehow hide his staff, and out of habit, often found himself hitting InuYasha with it for various reasons.

"So what do you think of this place so far?" Asked Miroku.

"Smelly. Noisy. Not for me. I think we should head back soon." Said InuYasha worriedly.

To be honest, Tokyo made InuYasha quite insecure. He often found himself spinning around, mistaking things like machinery for demons. He kept his hand close to Tetsusaiga which he'd hidden in his jacket, just incase.

"Yes, it is getting a quite late…" Agreed Miroku, and with a smile, added "Sango's must be worried about me."

"I'm sure… Hey, is that what I think it is?" InuYasha suddenly stopped.

To his left, in the window of a small gift shop, shards of the Shikon Jewel hung from a metal rod, each one individually tied to it.

"Look at all those jewel shards!" Said Miroku. Both of them were amazed at this.

At that moment, an elderly woman inside the shop took down a few of the jewel shards and proceeded to go buy them.

"Oh no you don't!" Yelled InuYasha as he stormed into the shop, drawing his Tetsusaiga and knocking down the woman.

`That woman must be a demon!' Thought InuYasha. `Good thing I brought Tetsusaiga.'

The woman screamed and covered her face with her hands, letting the shards fall to the grown. "Don't hurt me!" She begged.

Miroku, who had obviously thought the situation over, grabbed InuYasha's arm and pulled the Tetsusaiga as far away from the woman's face as possible.

"InuYasha! Wait! Those are not jewel shards and she is not a demon!" He cried.

"What are you talking about, monk?! Let me handle this!" InuYasha snapped back.

"InuYasha! Stop and think for one moment!" Miroku pushed InuYasha against the wall, preventing him from attacking, even though he could easily have done so if he had wanted to. "If she was a demon, not only would she be in our era, not in Kagome's, but she would have taken all the shards. Besides, she would be in demon form as well. I strongly doubt demons are able to pass through the well." Miroku stepped back and grabbed one of the shards, snapping the string that held it to the rod. He then bit into the shard. "This is plastic, InuYasha. Nothing more that a souvenir." He said, much calmer this time.

"Hang on one second. How do you know what plastic is?" Asked InuYasha.

Had Miroku secretly traveled to modern Tokyo before?

"Kagome explained it to me." He simply replied.

"So you've been flirting with her then eh?!" Accused InuYasha, over protective of Kagome.

"InuYasha, I think we have bigger problems at this time. Those machines with the flashing lights can't be good."

"Hmph. Fine then, let's head back to the well."

Not paying much attention to the huge scene they'd caused or all the people they'd left terrified, InuYasha and Miroku ran back to the well, only to find they did not know the way.

"Where the hell is it?!" Yelled InuYasha in frustration.

The had easily outrun the police so they both stopped to catch their breath.

"I do not know. We should have thought of these inevitable problems before coming here, InuYasha." Said Miroku.

"So you're blaming all this on me then?!" Spat InuYasha.

"No, I am not. I'm just saying we should have planned a bit more first. We should've asked Kagome to come along."

"You leave Kagome out of this!"

"That's not important now anyway. We need to figure out a way to get back to our era, or else…"

"Or else what?" Said InuYasha crossly, sitting down.

"Or else there is a good chance we will be trapped in here forever."
