Crossing Worlds

***The Feudal Era***
“SIT BOY, SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT!” Kagome yelled while glaring into the twenty-foot crater that surrounded InuYasha.
“You can't stop me from going home if I want to! SIT, I really need to get caught up on my school work! SIT, I won't be back for a few days so you better not, SIT, try to come and get me.”
Kagome walked toward the well when a little bushy-tailed fox demon lunged at her. “Mommy, please don't go! Don't leave me alone with that meanie-head InuYasha, please Mommy.” Shippo asked as he held tight to Kagome's leg.
“I'm sorry Shippo. I have to go home but I promise you I will bring you back a lollypop.” Kagome said while prying the kit off her leg.
“Thank you mommy but please tell InuYasha to be nice to me.”
Kagome squinted down into the hole in the ground where InuYasha writhed, “InuYasha, if you aren't nice to Shippo, I'll sit you so bad you won't be able to move for a week.”
“Kagome, please do be careful,” Sango said while giving her a hug. Kagome returned the sisterly hug.
“Yes, Miss Kagome, don't hurt yourself.” As Miroku hugged Kagome, his hand wandered to a far too familiar place.
[SMACK] “Pervert.”
“Well, I'll see you all in a few days.” Kagome waved then jumped into the well and went back to her own time.
***In a Park Near Kagome's Shrine***
It was a fighting frenzy as Kurama fought a horde of Demons; one after another fell before his rose-whip. Although they were lower class demons, there were too many to kill. As he killed one demon, another with poison dripping from his mouth jumped on him. The demon's teeth sank into Kurama. With a yell of pain, Kurama grabbed the demon and killed him with one punch but the damage was done. Kurama could feel the effects of the poison. Kurama began to get dizzy. Meanwhile, tons of demons were racing toward him. He fought them as long as he could. Claws, teeth and his whip were flying everywhere. He couldn't fight it anymore. Kurama fell and blacked out just as the last demon lunged at him with every intention to kill.
***Meanwhile with Kagome***
As Kagome jumped out of the well into the modern era, she felt something she promised herself she would never feel in this era: demonic energy.
“But that's impossible” she whispered as she ran toward the energy.
When she got to the energy, she saw a red-haired teen wearing a pink suit fall face first to the ground. A demon was lunging at the poor teen. Not wasting any time, Kagome whipped out her bow and fired an arrow. Within seconds, the demon was dead on the ground with an arrow through his heart.
Ignoring the speared demon, Kagome ran up to the unconscious teen. He was a mess and blood was everywhere. She couldn't tell his blood from the demon's blood. `Wait a minute -- demon blood?' She looked around and saw piles of demons lying dead all around them. `Did this boy do this?' she wondered. She noticed his fist clamped tightly around . . .a vine? No, it had thorns and . . .wow, she had never seen anything like that before.
Getting her thoughts back to the matter at hand she realized she needed to get help. She crouched down and struggled to lift him. As she cradled him, blood from a gaping wound poured onto her skirt. The gash in his stomach was turning slightly green, a sign of poison. She knew no doctors in this time period could cure the demons' poison, `I guess I'm going back to the feudal era sooner then I expected.'
***Spirit World***
“All right toddler, where is he? Where is Kurama?” a very angry black-haired teen named Yusuke yelled as he pounded his fists on Koenma's desk.
“We are trying our best to find him but I tell you, he just disappeared,” a frightened Koenma replied.
“Hn, that's not good enough,” a spiky blacked-haired person named Hiei said icily taking a step toward the prince of the spirit world.
“We are trying but he is just gone. I sent him to retrieve something that was stolen and fight some demons. I realized he was probably outnumbered so I sent Botan to get him out of harm's way. By the time Botan got there, he was gone. There was blood everywhere! Not to alarm you, but we can safely assume he's injured.” Koenma said while inching away from his spirit detectives.
“Let's go find him! What's the big deal? Can't you find him with that compass thingy?” a confused carrot-topped teen exclaimed.
“No Kuwabara, like I said, his energy has just disappeared. That either means he has magically gone into another dimension or he's . . .dead.”
“What!? he can't be dead,” yelled Yusuke as he cracked his knuckles, “I agree with Kuwabara. Let's go look for him. Botan, take us to where he was fighting the demons.”
“Okay Yusuke, there is no need to shout. I'm sure he's fine,” a cheery blue-haired girl answered as she created an oar and flew out the door.
*** The Feudal Era***
Kagome landed at the bottom of the time-traveling well gazing at the unconscious boy in her arms. Kagome then tore her eyes away from the handsome boy and examined the well.
“Oh no, that wasn't smart! I forgot . . . how am I going to get you up the well?” Kagome asked the unconscious boy. Kagome carefully rested the boy on the side of the well. Kagome searched the walls for a vine or anything to help pull them out. Realizing there was no way to pull the boy out, Kagome panicked; “I should have taken you to the hospital, they could have at least healed your wounds. Oh I am so stupid!” Kagome paced around the well, stepping over the boy and tapping her chin.
Kagome froze when she heard familiar voices on the other side of the well.
“Come on! I know I smelled Kagome!”
“InuYasha, Lady Kagome just left. There is no way she would come back so soon.” Miroku replied.
Kagome yelled up toward the surface, “InuYasha, I'm down here in the well! I have a hurt person down here! Help!”
As quick as a flash, InuYasha leapt and almost landed on the poor injured Kurama.
“Who is he?” asked InuYasha as he squatted down next to the teen and poked him harshly.
“I don't really know. He was in my era and got hurt and poisoned by some demons. Lady Kaede is the only one who can help him. Please help me get him out of the well.”
“Feh, Whatever,” InuYasha replied as he yanked up the unconscious teen. With one powerful jump he launched out of the well.
He dropped the boy on the grass and jumped back in after Kagome. He swooped her up cradle-style and jumped out of the well. InuYasha set her down and hauled the boy to Kaede's hut.
“Kaede, you old hag, get out here!” InuYasha yelled as he kicked open Kaede's door cracking it into pieces.
“What be ye problem, InuYasha? Ye owe me a door” Kaede said as she frowned at the splintered wood. Her eyes quickly darted to the wounded teen and she beckoned them inside.
InuYasha unceremoniously dropped Kurama on a bed, Kurama moaned slightly with his eyes closed. Kaede kneeled over the boy and examined the poison --it could be treated.
As Kaede concocted an antidote, Kagome began to bandage some of Kurama's wounds. After many long hours of stitching, wrapping, and applying the disgusting poison cure, Kaede and Kagome finished the treatment.
“I have done everything I can do for him. Now we will wait till he wakes up. Leave this hut and give him some space,” Kaede said as she pushed InuYasha through the mangled door.
Kagome gaze never left the injured teen as InuYasha left. “Do you think he will be okay?” Kagome asked while squeezing out some blood-stained rags.
“He is badly injured. He should live but it will take him a while to completely recover. Now child, what exactly happened?” Kaede questioned while checking to make sure the bandages were snug.
“I don't know, I found him like that with dozens of dead demons all around him. I don't know exactly what happened. I realized he was hurt and I knew you knew the remedies for poison,” Kagome touched the boy's head and felt he was hot.
“That I do, I'm not so worried about the poison as the injuries. It was a good thing you brought him to me.”
“Kaede, do you mind if I stay with him until he gets up? He is bound to be very shocked to be in a different era and maybe seeing me in my mundane cloths will calm him down,” Kagome asked as she soaked a rag and gently dabbed Kurama's forehead.
“Of course child, that makes sense,” Kaede said with a smile on her face.
“No Kagome,” InuYasha barged into the room through the broken door. “You have to go shard hunting with us, you're our shard detec --” InuYasha was cut off by a loud SIT ending the discussion. Kagome returned to tending to the boy barely clinging to life.
***At the Park***
Yusuke and the gang searched around the dead demons to try and shed some light on where Kurama was.
“Ewe, ewe, ewe, look at all this blood Urameshi!” Kuwabara screeched as he gagged at the blood.
“Shut up block head, I think I can see it. Don't talk unless you have something important to say. . . Hey Hiei, your a demon right?” Hiei just glared at Yusuke. “Can you smell the difference between Kurama's blood and the other demons?”
“Obviously detective, I can. That's his blood.” Hiei pointed to a trail of blood leading away from the battle and to a shrine. Hiei's focused on a puddle of Kurama's blood. Hiei bent down, touched the blood and smelled it. “Detective, Kurama's been poisoned.”
“What! how can you tell?” Yusuke yelled.
“His blood has a slight green to it. And it reeks of another demon. Kurama has been poisoned and by the amount of blood loss there is no way he could have left this spot on his own. He's been taken by someone.” Hiei said grimly as he glared at the pool of blood.
“Well then let's follow the trail of blood and kill whoever kidnapped him! He better still be alive.” A fuming Yusuke said as he trudged after the blood.
The three followed the blood to a shrine, then more specifically a well house in the shrine.
As they saw the blood splattered against the well Kuwabara shrieked “Did the person throw Kurama in?”
“If he did, don't you think we would see him moron?” A ticked off Yusuke replied as he looked into the empty well.
“There is strong energy around this well.” Hiei said as he touched the wood of the well.
“What does that mean, three eyes?”
“Chances are that they would not take Kurama from his death bed just to throw him down a well. So chances are this well is a portal to another place where they took Kurama.” An annoyed Hiei replied, he had seen many things like this before.
Upon hearing this Kuwabara randomly jumped in the well, only to find a very hard landing.
“Ow, darn you Hiei this bottom is solid! I'm not in another place.”
Hiei smirked as he said, “many portals need a special object or person to work.” He then glared down at Kuwabara “you would know that if you had half a brain.”
“Why, when I get up there I'm going to--- wait how do I get up there?” Kuwabara whined to his teammates.
“Come on let's get the moron out and then we will go see Koenma. We'll find a way to get to Kurama.” Yusuke said as he looked down at the trapped Kuwabara. The orange-haired teen tried to pull himself out of the well only to land on his butt again.
