Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction / Fan Fiction ❯ In Omnia Paratus ❯ The Dream ( Prologue )

DISCLAIMER: Okay, I'm only gonna say this once: I don't own any characters from Supernatural, Yu Yu Hakusho, Buffy the Vampire Slayer OR Angel. I also don't own any songs you might find later in this fic. Naming who they DO belong to would take an OUTRAGEOUS amount of time, though. What I DO own is the plot…and nothing else. And this is the ONLY disclaimer you will see to this story

 

AN: Okay, so this is going to be the first crossover I have ever written (on my own) and it's also my first Buffy the Vampire Slayer / Angel fanfic. So please excuse any out-of-character people and / or inaccuracies in the story—and try not to be so overly critical that you ruin the whole thing! That would make me very sad…

 

Oh, and also, I have no way to block flames, but I really hope that you people have enough common sense not to waste your time. I won't lie—flames DO give me a real good laugh—but I really, really appreciate CONSTRUCTIVE criticism and would like it MUCH more than flames!

 

Oh, and ravings about how wonderful I am wouldn't go amiss either…LOL, I promise, I'm joking about that!

 

Anyways, enjoy!

(Prologue)

 

It was night. A very black night, and silent. There were no stars in the cloudy sky, and a gentle, quiet rain fell. The trees didn't move, the wind didn't whistle. It was as if the night were holding its breath, almost as if it were waiting for something. And there was nothing to be done but wait with it.

 

And then, after many long moments…movement! A small shape emerged from a cluster of trees, black on black. The features were nearly impossible to make out, but it looked like a very short human man. He moved carefully and silently, doing nothing to cause the slightest noise. He moved close and stopped, and stood utterly still. Then he reached up and around the back of his own head, and a moment later, something—a long white bit of cloth—floated into the harsh yellow pool of light shed by the only nearby lamp, drawing all attention temporarily to itself.

 

Next there was a quiet hiss of steel, and the figure stepped slowly, deliberately, into the light.

 

And it became clear that he was not human at all.

 

Humans had only two eyes.

 

This thing had three—the extra one was right in the middle of his forehead, glowing purple, shockingly different from the other two, which were red and in the right places on his face.

 

He bared his teeth in a grin, and here was something else that made him different from humans—he had fangs.

 

Vampire?

 

No. Vampires had bumpy faces to go with their fangs, and they had the same number of eyes as humans.

 

This was a demon.

 

And now the thing was raising a long, white, glittering sword. He had a bandage on his right arm, wrapping it from hand almost to shoulder, and yet he used the arm as if it was no problem at all, and leapt in for the kill, fangs still bared in that awful smile.

“NO!”

 

“Hey, wake up, man!”

 

“Don't…”

 

“Don't what, you idiot?” Smack. “OW! What is with you? It's me, you moron!”

 

At those words, the nightmare gave way to fuzzy reality, and brown eyes snapped open to stare at the concerned face of the man hovering over him.

 

“Good, you're awake. I think you woke the entire motel.” The voice was rough and short and the concern was instantly replaced by badly-feigned annoyance. “You okay?”

 

“I had a dream.”

 

“Huh. I never woulda guessed.”

 

“It wasn't the usual one.”

 

“…Vision?”

 

No answer, and that alone confirmed it.

 

A sigh. Then, reluctantly, “What happened? And where is it? It'd better now be Kansas again.”

 

“Nooo…it's not Kansas…”

 

A pause. Then, “What's up?”

 

Sam Winchester looked up from the blanket he had been staring at and met his older brother's eyes. He couldn't believe he was about to say this. “Dean…we have to go to Tokyo.”

AN: Okay, that was the shortest chapter of any story I have ever written, but hey, it's a prologue. I know it may have been a bit confusing, but all will make sense in time! Please, please review, and if you have questions ask them!
