Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction / InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Against All Evil ❯ Energy Signature ( Chapter 3 )

[ P - Pre-Teen ]

"My baby is special. It's not any other ship you've ever had the chance to see. Connecting you with the harddrive allows the ship to have access to some of your energy, for defense, repairments and attacks. I have programmed it to follow orders according to rank. After its done accepting your energy, the harddrive can use the information do virtually anything possible."

The cloaked figure gestured them to sit in the chairs. "Now, let's get started, shall we?"

Quickly, they all sank into the chairs and awaited instructions from their captain.

"You see these pads?" The captain gestured to the 16 metal pads in the shape of hands. "Place your hands on your pads infront of you. You will feel a little tingle, but don't remove your hands. The hard drive is only taking a sample of your energy."

The team obeyed and placed their palms and fingertips on the pads.A different colors lit up from each pad, depending on theirown individual energy. Some were two colors intertwined while others were multicolored. The energy was slowly being pulled into the machinary and they could hear the whirlings as it processed the powers. The demons in the group could feel miko powers trying to zap at their youki and shieded away, trying not to shiver. The group had a lot of people with holy power.

A flashing light signaled the end of the energy readings and the cloaked figure allowed them to pull back their hands. A whirling sound later, the machine projected the information on its large screen.

Sango Taijiya - Female- Rank: Commander, Warrior-Human age: 21 - Human/Demon Exterminator

Sango stared at the age. "Hey! I didn't know that they put the ages on here!"

Everybody laughed, but silenced when they realized that their ages and information were also going to be projected.

Yusuke Urameshi - Male - Rank: Commander, Warrior -Human age: 22 - Human/Toushin

Some people stared at the last piece of information, slackjawed.

"You're a Toushin!" Shippou and Souta awwed at Yusuke and bombarded him with questions, which the cloaked figure found highly amusing.

Kikyo Higurashi - Female- Rank: Lieutenant, Healer -Human age: 22 - Human/Miko (4.7) -mated

The demons laughed nervously and made a mental note about the energy readings. 4.7 was pretty high on purification powers, and with Kikyo being a fully trained miko, they didn't want to risk being purified.

Hiei Jaganshi - Male - Rank: Lieutenant,Warrior -Human age: 22 - Fire Koorime :Jagen

"Oooooooo...you possess a Jagen eye! Wow!" Even Rin and Kirara couldn't control their excitement as they leaned towards Hiei with a gleam in their eyes. "Can you really read minds!"

"Hn." Hiei looked disgruntled. He wasn't particularly fond of the machine that could tell he had a Jagen. Most missed the smirk that Kirara and Rin exchanged.

Botan ? - Female- Rank: Lieutenant, Healer - Human age: 22 - Grim Reaper/Death

"You don't have a last name!" Someone pointed out.

"Wha-Grim Reaper...and Death?" Inuyasha was stumped and voiced it out loudly.

Botan rolled her eyes. "Yes! I WAS the grim reaper, and yes! I don't have a last name!"

Kurama Minamino/Youko Kurama -Male- Rank: Lieutenant, Pilot- Human age: 23 - Human/Youko

>Hey! They have my name up there!> Youko said.

>Yes. I know that!> Kurama was a bit surprised that the machine knew Youko also inhabited his body.

"Why do you have two names?" Rin asked. "How are you a Youko and a human?"

"Our souls share the same body." Kurama replied, clearing up a bit of the confusion.

Keiko Yukimura - Female- Rank: Mechanics -Human age: 21 - Human:Accursed

"You're an Accursed?" Miroku looked Keiko in the eyes.

Keiko's eyes dimmed and she nodded sadly. "Yes. Naraku has laid a curse on me." She gestured at her attire. "That is why I wear a full body suit. My bare skin can't touch anybody or else I drain their energy. My body can't take it if I absorb too much energy. I'm restained to this specialized suit so I don't accidentally drain energy from power sources or even the life from anything that's alive..."

Miroku Houshi -Male- Rank: Mechanics, Warrior -Human age: 21 - Human/Monk (4.3) :Accursed

Keiko gasped. "You're an Accursed too?"

Miroku sighed and displayed his left palm that was covered with a purple glove. "It's a hellhole that sucks in everything in sight and grows bigger with each year. Kagome and I worked together to create this specialized gauntlet that allows me to use the windtunnel at will. But when the time comes, the windtunnel will overpower it and I will be suck along with it..."

The room was silent after the last two showings.

Kirara coughed, breaking the silence and spoke."Rumors has it that Naraku might possibly be the one that overthrew the government leader and commissioned for the pieces of the weapon."

Inuyasha Taisho - Male- Rank: Warrior -Human age: 23 - Hanyou/Inu :Tetsusaiga -mated

"One more reason why we have to get that bastard back!" Inuyasha growled harshly, hugging Kikyo closer to his body. "If we allow him to succeed and make his weapon, then it's over!"

Kikyo rested her head on Inuyasha's chest. "I'm sure Naraku has tons of enemies.As some would say, the enemy of my enemy is my ally. I'm sure if we befriend them, we'll have more than enough to defeat Naraku!"

Many who had experienced the full powers of Naraku smiled sadely. They would need more than just that to defeat Naraku, especially since he held the government's powers in his hands at the moment. They weren't only low in numbers compared to Naraku, they were low in almost everything else...power, money, and strength. They needed to keep Naraku away from his weapon, and possibly using that weapon against Naraku. And that? That would need a miracle.

Yukina Jaganshi - Female- Rank: Healer -Human age: 22 - Ice Koorime

Sango looked between Hiei and Yukina. "Siblings?"

Yukina nodded shyly. "Twins actually."Hiei let loose a 'hn'.

"I can see the similarities...expecially the eyes." Rin said, staring closely at their crimson eyes.

Kazuma Kuwabara - Male- Rank: Warrior - Human age: 22 - Human/Psychic

"Just call me Kuwabara" The lanky red-head said.

"Wow...a psychic! You must have a pretty good sixth sense then..." Souta mused.

Kirara Taijiya - Female- Rank: Recruit, Warrior -Human age: 17 - Neko/Fire/Shadow

Kuwabara looked at Sango and Kirara. "You don't look anything alike!"

"Have you ever heard of the word adoption before?" Sango drawled. "Cause if you did, you see that I'm obviously human and she's obviously a demon!"

Kuwabara muttered in himself. "If you weren't a girl...then I'd pound you!"

"Right..." Kirara was unconvinced, her ears flicked to the side in bemusement at Kuwabara's statement, causing Sango and Rin to snicker.

Shippou Higurashi - Male- Rank: Recruit, Pilot -Human age: 18 - Kitsune/Golden :Shapeshifter

Botan gasped. "A Shapeshifter! Then that means..." The cloaked figure shook her head and Botan quickly sealed her mouth.

"What? Then that means what?" Many eyes narrowed and stared suspiciously at the two. Souta and Shippou exchanged looks with Kikyo, who quickly sucked in a breath.

Rin Taisho - Female- Rank: Recruit, Healer -Human age: 16 - Human/Miko (4.0)

"16! Are you even sure she's qualified for this type of mission! She's a small girl!" Kuwabara was quick to point out Rin's petite figure.

"Don't underestimate me!" Rin was pissed. "Age and gender doesn't matter anymore!"

The cloaked figure's whispery voice broke the argument. "Don't argue! The harddrive accepts her, she is more than qualified for this mission!"

Souta Higurashi - Male - Rank: Recruit, Computer specialist - Human age: 17 - Human/Monk (4.5) :Shapeshifter

"That is NOT possible..." Kurama stated. "Humans were never known to have that ability! It rare that Kitsunes have that ability...how is it possible for this human boy!"

Botan was wild-eyed and currently staring at Koenma and the other leaders for some sort of explanation. "This can't be happening!"

Kikyo, Sango, Souta and Shippou were deep in conversation, whispers barely audible and sharing glances with the cloaked figure. Rin and Kirara stood nearby, seemingly deep in thought.Yusuke, Hiei and Kurama found it suspicious when the huddled girls were enchanging glances, yet never speaking loud enough to carry quite that distance for Rin or Kirara to hear. Even Kuwabara knew something was up.

"Koenma, sir! Don't tell me it's happening already!" Botan was off and ranting quite loudly, striking the interest of many people in the room.

Koenma merely inclined his head. "Yes Botan. It has...regretfully. The prophecy has reached it's final pinnacle."

...waiting final instructions...

The machine beeped urgently. Everybody paused and turned to look at the machines. Botan's outburst was momentarily forgotten.

... Captain Position needed...

"Well...It seems you've all been accepted. Excellent!" The figure exclaimed rather brightly and rolled up the sleeves, placing them on the pad.

Many people leaned foward in anticipation of who their captain was. When the rather small hands were placed on the last pad, a flourescence of color whirled around the hands and was sucked into the machine. Inuyasha and Miroku's eyes widened comically, much to the girls' amusement.

"Seriously Inuyasha...Miroku! After spending so many years with her, you'd at least recognize her energy." Kikyo smirked.

"Don't tell me you just figured it out!" Rin and Kirara managed to choke out, clutching their stomachs in amusement.

"Her..." Yusuke trailed offwide-eyed and Kuwabara went off ranting about how he was suppose to protect woman and not the other way around. Inuyasha and Miroku were still in shock. Souta and Shippou rolled their eyes. Hiei didn't like this development at all and Kurama had a slight frown on his face. All eyes whipped to the cloaked figure when the information was finally displayed.

Kagome Higurashi - Female - Rank: Captain, Specialist X - Human Age: 20 - Human/Miko (5.1)

The cloak rippled and slid off, revealing a slender body fitted into a rather tight suit and the intricate armor of the highest Rank in the FCC.

Yusuke's eyes bulged out at the sight. "Holy shit...your our Captain!"

The other males weren't in better conditions either. Kurama and Hiei had a look of disbelief in their eyes while Kuwabara almost drooled a puddle on the floor. They trailed their eyes over her body and peered closly at her face. Her cerelean eyes shone brightly and she smiled widely at them. She looked so innocent and sweet! How did she land position as their captain?

"Mama!" Shippou cheered and enveloped her in a hug.

"Kagome-chan!" Kikyo and Souta said at the same time. "Great job on the ship, sis!"

"Hey Kagome!" Sango clapped the smaller girl on the back. "How ya been? I almost didn't recognize your voice there!"

"Ka-Kagome? Oh! Kagome! How nice of you to join us!" Miroku wrapped an arm around Kagome; his arm slid downwards. Sango and Kagome both delivered a mighty whack and bashed Miroku upside the head.

"Hentai! That's our Captain, you baka!" Sango screamed angrily. Botan, Keiko and Yukina stared at Miroku before backing away slowly.

Kagome laughed and patted Sango's arm. "It's okay. I've missed you guys! Sorry for not getting back to you sooner, but I had important stuff to do with the FCC."

Sango calmed down and the room hushed when the machine beeped once more.

...Rankings accepted! Information has been transfered to harddrive. Printing IDs...

The machine whirled and printed out the information, then shut down. Kagome picked them up and slid them into a folder.

"Good! Now we've got that done...onto the next part of the test!" Kagome smiled and dragged over the large box.

"What's the next test?" Souta asked, eyeing the rather heavy looking box that Kagome was draggin towards them rather quickly.

"Wait a second! You'll find out soon...when I get this box open." Kagome heaved and lifted the lid off, revealing plush white fur and stuffing. Cushioned in the middle was a clutch of large and dull-looking rocks.

"Rocks?" Inuyasha stared wide-eyed at the plush cushions and the lackluster rocks. "Why would be need common stones!"

Botan growled and looked at his clueless expression. "Not rocks! These are worth a lot more than just common stones! In fact, they're worth more than even precious stones! These are Eggs of the Mystik Gardein!"

Kikyo breathed outwards harshly. "Mystic Guardians! Very rare nowadays...only people with enough knowledge of these creatures can hope to obtain one! How'd you get so many...15! Even getting one is rare...!"

Miroku, Hiei and Kurama were in aww; recieving one was obviously of great honor. The younger adults were leaning eagerly into the box, wanting to recieve their eggs. A few tried to remember what they had learned about them during their training.

"Nevermind how we got them..." Kagome cleared her throat and inclined her head towards Sesshoumaru, Shizuru, Genkai and Koenma. "This isn't exactly a test, but a gift from you leaders. This last test will affect your life forever. Are you willing to sacrifice your soul?"

A few hesitated. Sacrifice your soul? They watched as Kikyo and Botan nodded firmly, followed by Souta and Shippou. Rin and Kirara shared alook and nodded with Sango. The rest weren't far behind.

"Good. I was hoping you'd say that. Genkai, Sesshoumaru, Shizuru and Koenma? Would you like to help me do the honors?"
