Okay, this fic is a fic that's been sitting around on my hard drive for a long, long time mostly complete, except for the last two or three chapters because I co-wrote it with brother, and he insisted on not putting up ANY bit of it until it was finished.

Well, finishing is something we never got to do. Yesterday I emailed brother out at Appalachian State and asked him if I could go ahead and start putting it up since all it's lacking is the last two chapters, the ending to it. He gave me permission, provided I go slow with it. As a result, I'm only going to post 2 pages at a time and so the chapters will be multi-parted as a result. This Christmas break, brother and I may try to finish this.

Anyway, this fic, Futuristic Warrior from the Past, was written by us over several months spanning 2005-2006, but like I said, never published because we never were able to completely finish and end it. In terms of placement in the normal InuYasha anime terms, this story happens after episode 84, "Kouga's Bride-To-Be".

Futuristic Warrior from the Past

By: Patriot1776 and Angel_of_Twilight/Gwydon

Chapter I

“Hiraikotsu!” Sango yelled again as she hurled her boomerang at the 7 foot tall, goat legged, horned oni. It had the head of a goat, the legs of a goat, but the torso and arms were that of a man. The boomerang flew at it and hit and seemed to just bounce off, the oni grunted in discomfort from the hit. In response it flung a ball of red plasma at her.

“Sango!” InuYasha yelled as he raced over, grabbed her, and jumped out of the way of the plasma throw. “Kagome, where’s the Jewel Shard located on it?”

Kagome focused on the oni for a minute as she ran, then looked surprised.

“It doesn’t have one! I can’t sense one on it!”

“What? We came all the way out here for nothing!” InuYasha then shouted.

“Then how come it's so powerful?” Miroku then asked as he threw some ofudas at it. To his utter bewilderment, the ofudas dissolved when they approached the creature. “My spiritual powers won’t work on it!”

“Let me try mine!” Kagome shouted as she nocked an arrow and let fly toward the oni. Surprisingly, she was right on target and hit the oni square in the back with the glowing arrow. The oni let out a bloodcurdling roar as it reached back and yanked the arrow out, leaving a blackened spot in its back. It’s hand was burned too from grabbing the arrow.

“Dammit! This bastard just won’t die! Kaze no Kizu!” InuYasha yelled as he slammed Tetsusaiga into the ground, unleashing the Wound of the Wind at the oni. His aim was true and the attack hit home. The oni again roared as it entered its death throes. Miroku was preparing to unleash the Wind Tunnel when it suddenly dissolved into a blood red liquid and sank into the ground.

“What, where’d it go?” Shippo asked from his safe spot in a nearby tree.

“Who cares? At least the damn thing’s dead.” InuYasha said as he sheathed Tetsusaiga.

“I’ve never seen an oni die like that before.” Sango then said, confused. Miroku put a hand to his chin and walked up to where the creature had died, now a small bare spot in the grass.

“Whoa! Get away!” Miroku shouted to no one in particular as he jumped back from the spot, panting.

“What is it Miroku?” Kagome asked as she started to walk up to him.

“I just felt a presence of pure evil from that spot, as if the creature just sank back into the depths from where it came.”

“So you’re saying that wasn’t an ordinary demon?” InuYasha then asked.

“No, it was an oni, but it wasn’t like any kind of oni I’ve ever encountered before. It’s aura seemed much, much darker. I think it would be a good idea for us to remain in this village for tonight in case it comes back.”

Kagome was about to voice her opposition when the village headman ran up from behind a hut.

“You did it! You did it! Thank you so, so much! Stay here for the night as our thanks!” he said excitedly.

“Thanks but--” Kagome started to say, but Miroku cut her off.

“We’d be honored to stay here for the night. I could protect your daughter in case another oni decides to attack. I could--” BAM! Miroku’s acceptance of the offer was cut short by Sango whacking him over the head with her boomerang.

“Can it monk.” Sango said gruffly.

“Follow me then.” The headman then began to lead them back to his multi-roomed hut as the sun began to set, revealing dark storm clouds on the horizon.

-

“We’re not going back tonight, and that’s final!” InuYasha yelled as he slammed his fist down onto the table, causing the plates to rise an inch off the table before coming to rest rather noisily.

“I’ve got a test coming up, and I need three days to study!” Kagome yelled back. “If you won’t let us all go, I’ll just borrow Kirara and go myself!”

“Keh! Fat chance. I won’t let you go on your own if you do. I’ll just follow you and drag you back.”

“You do, and I’ll say 'it' till you’re six feet in the ground!” Kagome snapped back. That shut up InuYasha right then, and he just got up from the table and lumbered over to a corner and sat down, growling.

“InuYasha, please let her go back! We’re almost out of can--” KA-BOOM!!!! “AAAHHH!!!” Shippo screamed as he dove for cover into Kagome’s lap as a loud peal of thunder echoed across the valley.

“Thunder. That’s not good. Kagome, if you plan on going, we’ll go too, but we have to leave now.” Miroku then said calmly.

“Keh. Let’s get going already then.” InuYasha grunted as he got up walked out of the hut. Miroku again thanked the headman for his hospitality as they all then left. Kagome got on InuYasha’s back, the others got on Kiara.

They set out at a rapid pace through the grassy valley, trying to cover as much distance as possible when the first lightning bolt hit. The heavens then seemed to open up literally as torrents of rain began to fall. The thunder and lightning then began to get more intense, lighting the area up and the loudness was such that they were now having to shout and stay close to hear one another.

“Shouldn’t we go back?! I don’t think this was a good idea!” Shippo shouted as he trembled from Kagome’s shoulder.

“Too late now runt! Suck it up!” InuYasha shouted without looking over his shoulder as he bounded over another treetop. As he landed, the tree in front of him exploded from a direct hit of lightning!

“AAAHHH!” Kagome and Shippo screamed as they both nearly throttled InuYasha from death grips. InuYasha almost fell over backwards, but barely managed to regain his posture while flailing his arms around. Sango had to pull hard on Kiara’s fur to keep her from panicking as Miroku wrapped his arms tight around her. They didn’t have time to recover, as more lightning began to make their surroundings explode in flames, almost as if the lighting was being aimed at them!

OMG OMG OMG! It's sounds like an even better fic than what you had told me of before! And it sounded Fan-frick'n-tastic then!!

Please, update again as soon as you can!

Chapter I (continued)

“Take cover over there!” Miroku shouted as he pointed toward a cave opening he noticed thanks to the lightning flashes and the flames. InuYasha and Kiara didn’t hesitate and bolted toward the cave opening, diving into it. Once inside, they all sat down to catch their breath as the thunderous pounding continued.

“Something odd is going on out there, it’s as if it was aimed at us!” Miroku said, looking outside at the numerous flashes.

“No damn kidding, we almost got flash fried!” InuYasha replied, rubbing his ears and throat. His head buzzed from the amount of pounding from the thunder booming, and he felt as if he had been hanged and cut down from the grip Kagome had put on his throat.

Once settled down, InuYasha and Miroku searched around the cave for dry wood and made a fire. Shippo still shivered in fear from the storm and hugged up to Kagome. They all sat and stared outside, watching, until a small, uneasy mew came from Kiara.

“What is it Kiara?” Sango said, standing up. The neko demon stood looking off into the darkness, towards the back end of the cave. “Hey guys, I think she senses something.” InuYasha stood up and walked over to where she stood and sniffed the air.

“You’re right, I smell something strange, nothing I have never smelled before, let’s check it out. Our problem earlier might just be waiting behind us.” He said.

“Yeah, let’s go look. I want to get away from the storm.” Shippo said, still scared. They all stood up, Kagome pulling an emergency flashlight out of her bag, and heaving the bag over her shoulder. They wandered through the cave, walking on for what seemed an eternity until they came upon a metal door, with strange symbols painted on it.

“What the hell is this? I have never seen something like this before.” InuYasha said, walking up to the door. With a metallic groan, the door suddenly slid open, revealing a florescent lit corridor of concrete.

“Its an automatic door, we have things like that in my time.” Kagome said. “But I’ve never seen one with Latin written on it.”

“But what is it doing here? What could be beyond this strange hallway?” Miroku said.

They continued onward, exploring the complex. They never came upon any other living things, but the technology they found was very advanced, far beyond even Kagome’s time. All the others were astonished at the strange lighting, the computer screens with Latin on them, and automatic doors. Kagome was confused, why was something like a military bunker doing in the feudal era? Kagome did what she could to translate the Latin, using her text books, but it was of little use, it was too complex to decipher beyond sparse words.

They then entered a strange circular room, strange blue light flowing about. In the center stood what appeared to be a column of ice and glass, with a person frozen inside! It appeared to be a Caucasian human male, about the age of Kagome, and of small stature. His hair was distractingly white, and his skin was so pale it seemed to glow. The only clothing he wore was a long pair of black shorts. He looked like he was floating in the air, but not moving at all. They cautiously approached him.

“Kagome, what in the hell is that?” InuYasha said, utterly amazed.

“I’ve only seen things like this in the movies, but I think it’s called cryogenic freezing. I think he’s asleep. He could have been like this for years, even decades.”

“So you’re saying he’s frozen? How is he still alive?” Sango said.

“That’s the part I don’t understand. But I want to know why he is here in the first place.” Kagome replied.

“How about I bust him out of there?” InuYasha said, putting a hand on Tetsusaiga.

“NO! That might kill him! We have no idea how this works, and I don’t want to put him at risk.” Kagome protested.

“How do we know if he is even human, by the looks of it, he don’t seem human.” InuYasha said.

“I agree with Kagome, he is completely at our mercy right now, and I'd like to talk to this guy. Kagome, try to get him out.” Miroku said.

“How do you expect me to know that?!”

“Well, you’re from the future…” Miroku replied, uneasily. He was cut off by a loud ZZZAAPPP! FRIZZLEFRIZZLEPOW! Electricity arced across the stasis tube’s surface, and the lights flickered.

“The lightning again!” Shippo screamed, running away. As the lights became bright again, a soft alarm sounded, and a computerized voice said something incoherent.

“Who’s there!” Sango said, readying her Hiraikotsu.

“Sango, that was not a person, but a computer. What is all of this? This is all like something out of a sci-fi movie!” Kagome said, looking around quickly

“Um, Kagome, the frozen guy’s column is cracking.” InuYasha said, confusedly.

I like it!
It's really ineresting!
Love your Sound Effects!
FRIZZLEFRIZZLEPOW!

Futuristic Warrior from the Past

Chapter I (continued)

Kagome whipped around to see the glass tube cracking, squirting blue fluid out in all directions. They all started backing away nervously, when it suddenly shattered. The form inside dropping onto the pedestal with a thump. Kagome started to run up to the human, but InuYasha stopped her.

“Wait, what if he tries to kill you?” InuYasha said coolly.

“But what if he doesn’t? I can’t stand by and just stare. He may be dying!” Kagome then wrenched free from his gasp and ran up to the pedestal, and sat him upright. His skin was extremely cold, almost like touching ice. “InuYasha, give me your haori! He’s freezing!” The human then opened his blue eyes and looked at her. He said something incoherent to her.

“What?” She said. The human’s face took the look to a mask of contrition, and he rolled away from her and sprang to his feet. His posture was not right from just waking up from cold sleep, and he stumbled a bit. He then scanned the others. His eyes fell upon InuYasha, and he bared his teeth.

“Feh, I knew it!” InuYasha said, drawing Tetsusaiga. He then lunged at the boy sized human, sword held back to cleave him in two. But his sword never touched him, the boy back flipped out of the way and landed on his feet. Then the boy ran foward, barreling into InuYasha like a football lineman. “HOOF!” InuYasha grunted as he was knocked all the way across the room into the far wall, smacking concrete. The boy looked to the others and shouted something in his unknown tongue.

“Hey calm down, we are not here to hurt you.” Kagome said, trying to calm him down. He didn’t even look at her, the boy shot at InuYasha with amazing speed and pinned him up to the wall, holding him off the ground.

“Damn he’s strong!” InuYasha said, trying to break his steel-like grip. He stopped though, when the boy started pounding him in the face with his fist. InuYasha’s head started jerking backward into the wall with each punch. Blood from InuYasha’s face began to splatter onto the floor.

‘He hits as hard as Sesshomaru! I’ve got to break free before he knocks me out!’ InuYasha thought.

“I’ll stop him!” Sango said. She ran up to the boy and swung Hiraikotsu at full force, hitting the boy in the back of the head. The boy was knocked a few feet away from InuYasha, landing on the concrete floor, he started to get up but only manage to turn over. Blood began to run down the back of his neck and drip onto the floor.

“Sango, that was way to hard! You might of killed him!” Kagome said. She ran up to the boy again and sat down next to him, pulling out her first aid kit. The boy didn’t stop her from patching the back of his head, he was to stupefied to. InuYasha sat where he had been dropped, in a very similar state. The boy looked into Kagome’s face with his hazy blue eyes and said something to her. “Shh.” She held pressure to the back of his head to stop the bleeding. The boy then reached up to her hand and pulled hers free and cupped it with his own and uneasily stood up.

“No, you are not going to attack him again, you have to stop me first.” Kagome said, stepping in front of InuYasha. The boy turned away from them and staggered down a corridor, not even paying attention. “What?” They followed the boy, leaving InuYasha to sit and see stars for a while. The boy went down the corridor a ways before stopping at a door with a panel next to it. Placing his hand on the panel, the door opened and he stepped inside. They followed to see what appeared to be an armory, with weapons that were extremely advanced. Some of the weapons looked archaic, a gladius with a glowing white blade amongst them. Others looked vaguely similar to guns Kagome had seen out of several sci-fi movies. The human however, walked past them all, instead walking up to a panel-like device with a red cross on it. Kagome recognized the cross as looking like the symbol of the Red Cross from her time, and deduced it to be a medical station of some sort. He put his hand on it, and a strange light flowed over his body and then went out. A strange, metal appendage then came out of the device and clamped to the back of his head where the wound was. It flashed once, then left, the wound having disappeared completely. The others mouths dropped open in shock as he then sat down at a computer terminal and began typing, shaking some of the blood and blue fluid from his hair. After typing for a few moments, he turned to them and then started motioning to them to speak.

“You want us to say something? What?” Kagome then asked. He then suddenly stopped motioning and put out a ‘thumbs up’. The screen then changed and text started to rapidly flow across it. He then reached over to a box, opened it, and pulled out a wire with a strange cap on it. He pulled the cap off, revealing a metal spike and wire ends. Taking the wire, he jammed it into the base of his neck. The strange human then began to fidget and twitch where he sat. Kagome and the others winced just as InuYasha stumbled into the room, swaying about and growling, his face swollen from the blows. Kagome immediately ran over to him.

“InuYasha, don’t. He’s stopped attacking us. It seems like he’s trying to talk to us now.” Kagome then said.

“I don’t fucking care! He just pounded in my face and I need to repay the favor!” InuYasha said angrily, starting toward the human.

“Osuwari.” Kagome then said calmly. The kotodama beads glowed and InuYasha slammed face first into the steel and concrete deck. The human looked over at them with a confused look and pulled the wires out of the back of his neck. He stood up and faced them.

“All right. Now, just who are you and what are you doing here?” The boy said in fluent Japanese. Everybody’s jaws dropped to the floor at that.

"What in the…how did you…learn our language that fast? That’s impossible!” Miroku now said, shock all over his face.

“It’s simple to transmit computer data into the brain, all a matter of electrons. But I asked a question, and I want an answer.” he then said, clenching his fists.

“We were caught in a thunderstorm outside and sought shelter in a nearby cave, and we stumbled upon this place. Curiosity got the best of us, I guess. What are you doing here? What about this whole place? Where did it come from? Who are you?” Kagome now asked, flabbergasted.

“I am Galahad, and I was put into stasis until the time came again when I would have to return to face the forces of Hell in battle. What I don’t understand is that you have lightweight demons with you and under your command. They are not the same as the ones I have faced, but similar. They are more like beasts instead of demons.” Galahad then got up and walked into another room, and the others followed.

“Hey, I’m not a lightweight! I can kill 100 demons in one strike with my sword!” InuYasha said angrily.

“100 pitiful demons, maybe, but nothing like the horrors I have faced.” Galahad replied without a glance as he opened up a case containing a fully enclosing power suit of very advanced design. He began assembling it upon his body. At the mention of his name, a light started flickering in Kagome’s head.

‘Where have I heard that name before? I know it has something to do with Western History, but where?’ Kagome thought. Then it hit her. ‘I remember the name Sir Galahad from the tales of King Arthur! This can’t be the same guy, can it? Wait a minute. Those tales were only myth, weren’t they?' “Galahad,” Kagome then spoke up. “have you heard of the tales of King Arthur by any chance?”

“King Arthur, who is that? What do you mean?” Galahad’s face suddenly went blank. “What year is it?” He suddenly asked.

“Well according to the calendar I use, the year is about 1500 A.D., plus or minus one year.” Kagome then said.

“A.D.? What does that mean?”

“A.D. means Anno Domini, or Year of our Lord. It is 1500 years after the birth of Christ.” Kagome replied. The others started giving her weird looks too.

“Christ? Are you speaking of the son of Yahweh?”

“Yahweh? I’ve never heard Kami-sama called that before.” Kagome repled.

“Christ, known as Jesus, was allegedly supposed to come when Yahweh’s people needed a Savior, which is supposed to be long after my ti--” Galahad suddenly stopped. “I have been in stasis far too long then. And you say it has been 1,500 years since His birth?”

“That’s what I’m saying.” Kagome replied.

“Good Lord! I have been frozen for over 6,000 years then! My civilization is probably gone!”

Oo...Damn!!

Jeez, so that guy was....and now he's....and....*still trying to piece it together*

So, they're gonna have to figure out how to defeat these demons form hell then. Oo

Update again, whenever you can!^^

another nice update! keep it comming!

Futuristic Warrior from the Past

Chapter I (conclusion)

The others completely collapsed at that. Kagome got back to her feet first.

“WHAT?! 6,000 years! There’s no possible way all of this stuff could still be working after all that time!” She then said flabbergasted again.

“That definitely beats out my old man then!” InuYasha said in a just as flabbergasted voice.

“Yes it is possible. Everything still works because of how well it was made. After coming to this planet after the Great War that ravaged Eden, we came here to-” He was cut off by Kagome.

“This planet? What are you saying?” Kagome was at the edge of reasoning.

“I’m saying that your predecessors, my people, came from somewhere else in the solar system. After the initial war with the spawn of Hell we had to leave or slowly die from the amount of damage the ecosystem had sustained. So we came here, and since you know none of this, it looks like my people collapsed and we as a race have lost a lot of knowledge.”

“Okay, I am officially freaked out. I still don’t see how this is possible.” Kagome said.

“You can say that again.” Sango agreed.

“No one would remember, it’s been thousands of years anyway.” Galahad replied. Finished with assembling his suit, he picked up the gladius from the shelf and strapped it to his waist. He also grabbed a odd looking rifle off the wall and went into the next room, carrying his fez topped helmet to his silver armor. The next room was rather dark except for the light emanating from the object sitting in a glass case at the far end. Galahad walked up to it and kneeled before it, saying words in his archaic tongue. The case then opened and Galahad reached inside, pulling out what appeared to by a winged figure holding a sword.

“Ah, the greatest of our demon slaying weapons, the Soul Cube.” Galahad said, holding it at arms length, looking it over.

“Some weapon, it looks like a child’s toy.” InuYasha said. Galahad shot a look of zealous hate at him.

“Do not insult me over this, unless you wish to have Yahweh’s judgment upon you. And I can tell you that you would be cast amongst the darkness.” Galahad snapped, rather angrily.

“InuYasha, I think you better apologize for that, otherwise I’ll say the ‘o’ word.” Kagome then said.

“Oh don’t worry, when I’m done with him he’ll be completely vaporized.” Galahad then said, rather cheerfully at the thought. InuYasha growled.

“Just what does this ‘Soul Cube’ do?” Miroku then asked, mostly to try and save InuYasha’s butt, and partly out of his own curiosity.

“The Soul Cubes are among our greatest of artifacts of tremendous power. We created them during the original demonic invasion of our homeworld to drive the infernal horde back into Hell. The reason why it’s called the Soul Cube is because it takes the energy from the souls of slain enemies and uses them as its power. Here, let me show you.” Galahad then touched a certain spot on it, and four wings unfolded, turning into blades. The figure then took a battle ready stance. “Now, if this thing was charged up, all I’d have to do InuYasha is just touch you with it and you would be completely destroyed, all the way down to the last molecule.” Galahad then deactivated the Soul Cube and attached it to his waist. “What about the rest of you, I do not know your names, beyond you, InuYasha, and Kagome.”

“I’m Miroku. I’m a wandering monk in the service of Buddha, and this is Sango, a demon exterminator, but she doesn‘t hunt the kinds of oni you refer to. And that’s Shippo, and this is Kiara. Shippo’s a kitsune demon, and Kiara’s a fire neko demon. InuYasha is half dog demon and half human with a human mother. We’re all traveling together because we are hunting down the shards to a special jewel, and also hunting a powerful evil ourselves.” Miroku then went into a brief explanation of the Shikon no Tama.

“A powerful artifact. But InuYasha is half-human? How could a creature and a human…never mind, I don’t wanna know. Anyway, who is this evil you hunt? Does he wish to possess the fragments of this artifact as well?” Galahad then said, intrigued.

“His name is Naraku. He’s caused much, much suffering in these lands. He’s killed all the others of Sango’s kind, he’s placed a curse on me, and he’s caused InuYasha much suffering as well. He seeks to complete the Shikon no Tama so he can become full demon. He‘s half-demon like InuYasha, but he was created from the merger of countless pathetic demons and a human.” Miroku explained. Galahad continued to walk about the facility, gathering different things from different places, but still speaking to them.

“You seem to think he is the bane of the world, but let me tell you, he is not. You sound as you fear him, and my guess is that he uses smarts, not power, to get what he wants. That’s another thing, he has wants, that is very unlike the demons I know. The followers of Lucifer that I faced did not know fear, pain, or death. They slaughtered most of my people, billions in a matter of months, and it took the greatest of our weapons just to contain them. I now know for a fact that you have never seen what I have seen, and be glad for it. As for myself, I was made to fight the creatures of Hell, to send them back from whence they came. I was a soldier trained to drive the demons back into the depths of hell, and the memories of what happened back then are clear to me even to this day.” Galahad sounded sad at those words.

“Wow. So humanity came from somewhere else?” Kagome then said.

“You could say that.” Galahad replied. By this time, they had emerged from the facility and were now at the entrance to the cave. The others got together their belongings and started to exit. Even though the first rays of dawn were just showing, Galahad squinted and rubbed his eyes for a few moments while his eyes adjusted to the outside. Miroku then came up to Galahad.

“You said the demons you faced know no fear of death?” He then asked.

“That is correct.”

“The demon, or oni in this case, we fought the day before was strangely like that. It attacked us without concern for it’s own safety, and we had a very hard time taking it down. It had attacked a village for no particular reason and brutally slaughtered half the villagers.”

“Describe it.”

“It looked like a man, but wasn’t. It had goat legs, and a saber-toothed face with horns.” InuYasha then said.

“Skin tone?” Galahad then asked.

“Reddish pink. It was unlike anything I’ve ever seen before.” Sango then said.

“What about an aura around it’s hands? Did have one of those and what was it’s color?”

“Yeah, it did have one of those. It was red in color. I shot it in the back with one of my purifying arrows and that barely even slowed it down. Only InuYasha’s Kaze no Kizu dropped it. And even then, it just dissolved and didn’t leave a body behind.” Kagome then said.

“A Baron of Hell, higher ranking officer in their armies. You must take me to where you fought it. I need to see if it has been truly destroyed.” Galahad answered.

Shippo, Sylt, and Sonic: O_O WHOA!

Shippo: The thing we fought the other day was a demon Baron?

Sonic: I think Mara and Prometheus have also said something about these types of demons too at the Manor but...

Sylt: I I I'm not so s s sure about t t that Sonic.

Shippo: What's wrong, Sylt?

Sylt: *points behind SOnic*

Sonic: Eh? * turns around slowly* -_- Tcha It's only Jacrose

JAcrose: *from the opposite side of the stage* You called bro?

Sonic: *Looks at Jacrose then at the figure coming up behind him* No. but if you're Jacrose then... Who's that?

( :hehe: My apologies for the little side story there Patriot. I enjoyed the update it was fantastic! The fact that there is a difference in the demons that Galahad and the Inu crew fights is amazing. And they fought a Demon Baron straight off too! ^^ I am also beginning to wonder, like Galahad and the others, if that Demon is truly dead or not. Please continue when you may! :cheer: :victory: :excited: )

Little bit of a visual here.

One of THESE guys are what the Inu group faced in the very beginning of this story:



Those guys are Barons of Hell!

I never thought that the world of Inuyasha and the world of Doom could match up with such ease

Loved the update great. X ]

Galahad = Awesomeness

Great update!!! ^^ Kari loves this story so much. ^^

Please, update again when you can.^^

Chapter II

They hadn’t gone to the village right away. InuYasha and the others had told him they needed to sleep, that they hadn’t gotten to last night. They rested until midday when Galahad woke them up, and they began to make their way back to the village they had fought the strange oni in the day before.

“Is this it?” Galahad said, pointing to the bare and blackened spot on the ground.

“That’s where the oni fell.” Miroku said. Galahad started toward it but Miroku grabbed his shoulder out of warning.

“I know what I’m doing.” Galahad said, shaking off his arm and kneeling right in front of the spot on the ground. Blood seeped up from the ground and burst into flames. Galahad did not withdraw, but drew his sword. The blade to the gladius glowed brightly, even in the daylight. He stuck the sword into the ground and began to twist. A loud, high pitched scream came from the pool of flaming blood, and a talon of a hand came out of the puddle and grabbed onto the blade of the sword. The white light that radiated from the sword incinerated the hand, and the hand turned black and blew away like dust in a phantom wind. The blood evaporated.

“It is no more. It was not killed, only defeated.” Galahad said, standing up. He sheathed his sword and looked over at the villagers, some of whom gave him looks like he was a hero, others like he was a heretic. “They do not accept me. It is in my interest that we leave before they try something.” He said, not taking his eyes off of the villagers. They agreed with him and left for Kaede’s village.

“Kagome, your clothes are different from the others. Explain that to me.” Galahad then said as they walked along.

“Well, actually I’m a bit of a time traveler.” she started. A look of disbelief crossed Galahad’s face.

“How is that possible?” he then asked.

“Even we’re not completely sure, but we believe it has something to do with the Shikon no Tama.” She pulled out her little vial containing the few shards they had. “These are the shards we have. Close to the village we are going to now, there is a dry well called the Bone Eater’s Well. Villagers throw the bones of dead demons in it to get rid of them. I’m actually from 500 years into the future, and my home is on the same grounds the same well sits on in that time. On my fifteenth birthday, I accidentally fell into it and came out in this time. I’m supposed to be the reincarnation of the miko who used to protect the jewel, and the jewel was in my body. I still have a hard time believing it. Anyway, we think I can time travel thanks to the jewel shards. InuYasha can go through the well to my time as well, though we haven’t figured out yet why he can too. Sango, Miroku, Shippo and Kiara however can’t travel through the well.” Kagome explained.

“Is that so? What sort of things do you have in your time? Black powder firearms at least?” Galahad then asked.

“Oh, this land is totally different in my time. A great, sprawling city occupies the land in my time. In my time, the year is 1997 A.D. 28 years before that, in 1969 A.D., we landed a man on the Moon and returned him safely back to Earth.”

“The Moon, you mean the moon of this planet? No further?”

“No further. We have sent unmanned satellites beyond the solar system, but man himself has not been past the moon of this planet yet. We are planning on a manned mission to Mars, the fourth planet in the solar system, but it’s still in the planning stages.”

“The fourth planet you say? And it’s called Mars?” Galahad said, genuinely interested.

“Yes.” Kagome replied.

“My, how much we have forgotten.” Galahad said contentedly, smiling.

“Wait a minute, was Mars originally the home planet you spoke of?” Kagome then asked.

“Well, if things keep going on the track you speak of, then they’ll come across some interesting surprises on Mars, if they find them.” Galahad said. Kagome only shook her head.

“Just who are you really anyway?” InuYasha then asked.

“I am a soldier, just like I said, and my past is little more than training, the war I fought on what you now call Mars, and the little time I have spent on Earth awake.” Galahad said.

“I’m guessing you’re not going into details because you’re afraid of the effect such details would have on us, right?” Miroku then asked.

“No, that is really almost everything. I never had a family, you see, so I have no feelings like that. I never had a childhood either, I was created, not born. So I was created, trained, equipped, and sent off to fight, which I do best. To tell you the truth, it’s almost all I know. I didn‘t think you would be interested, because there is nothing there.” Galahad revealed, rather emotionlessly. The others were absolutely astounded at that, and looked at him. The implications of what he had just said was almost beyond their comprehension.

“I hope we never, ever start doing things like that in my time. It’s completely unethical, I think.” Kagome then said.

“How can you not have a childhood? People just can’t appear out of thin air.” Sango then said.

“Sango, the basic technology that makes that kind of stuff possible now exists in my time, but its still in its infancy, and thank Kami there are lots of people who don’t want to see that technology unleashed.” Kagome then said to her friend, with a slightly sad look on her face.

“Understand that my people were in need of soldiers. They had not fought amongst themselves for a hundred years before the demons attacked. The common man gave his life while those of us, who could really bring down the demons, where brought into existence. I was made out of necessity, not out of want.” Galahad said.

“Well, that makes me feel a little better.” Kagome then said.

“Monk, you said you had a curse put on you.” Galahad then continued.

“Yes. I do. It’s a generational curse that Naraku placed on my grandfather 50 years ago.” He stopped for a moment and looked off at some trees. Galahad watched as Miroku stuck out his right hand and unwrapped the prayer beads from it. He then opened the hand up and a swirling vortex formed in front of it that started to rip some of the trees out of the ground. Before they were uprooted and sent flying, Miroku closed the hand back up and re-wrapped the beads. “It’s called a Kazaanna. It gets a little bigger each year. The only way to remove it is to destroy Naraku. If we don’t destroy him, the hole will just keep getting bigger and bigger and more powerful until it eventually overcomes the prayer beads and sucks me into it. Both my father and grandfather died from their own Kazaannas devouring them.” Miroku then explained.

“Do you have any estimation as to how much longer you have to live?” Galahad asked.

“I really don’t have any idea. I can gradually feel it get stronger and stronger as the months pass, but I don’t know how much stronger it has to get before it breaks the prayer beads. For all I know, these beads could break either tomorrow or ten years down the road.” Miroku answered, looking thoughtfully at his hand and the beads.

“Then you need to focus your efforts and destroy this Naraku.”

“We’ve ran into him a few times, but the damn bastard’s the biggest coward I’ve ever seen. He’s always escaped us every time because he always planned ahead and had an escape route of some kind whenever we’ve faced him. I nearly killed him not that long ago, but again he escaped, but this time he escaped in such a way that we can’t even find him. It’s like he completely disappeared off the face of the planet, but the existence of Miroku’s Kazaana is the only proof we need to know he’s still alive. We just can’t find him.” InuYasha then said angrily.

“Hey what about me?” Shippo then asked.

“How could I forget the purest and most honest one of us all?” Galahad said, stealthily exaggerated.

“Yeah, that’s right!” Shippo then said. InuYasha started to growl, but a look that could kill from Kagome stopped him real quick. Shippo then continued. “I’m an orphan. My parents were killed by a demon pair called the Thunder Brothers. InuYasha and Kagome found me and helped me avenge their deaths. I’m staying close to them until I can fend for myself. I’m not as powerful as the others, but my illusory magic has gotten me out of some tight spots a few times.”

“Well you and I have some common ground to stand upon, you lost your parents, I have none, it damages and makes us much stronger at the same time. And what about you, fellow demon slayer?” Galahad asked, looking back at Sango.

“I was from an entire village full of slayers like me. It was the main profession of the village. We’d kill demons and use their bones to make powerful weapons. That’s what my boomerang is made out of, demon bone. I say ‘was from’ because Naraku put into motion a conniving plan to get me and the other powerful slayers away from the village so he could ravage it. Meanwhile, he deceived me and the others. He possessed my little brother Kohaku and forced him to kill my father and the rest of the powerful slayers. He tried to kill me too, but somehow, I survived. Naraku then tried to make me believe it was InuYasha that destroyed my village to try and get me to kill him. Later on, he revived my brother using a Shikon shard, and now my brother is simply his servant. He doesn’t remember me, or who he even is. I am now the last of my kind, as far as I know.” Sango tried to fight back tears as she spoke.

“You are grieved greatly because your brother is now possessed, and you cannot bring yourself to strike him down. I can expect that from a normal human. Me and my battle brothers were trained to execute one another if we became possessed, even though we grew up together.” Galahad then said with some concern in his voice. “I suggest that you somehow accept what has happened and move on. If you cannot, find a way to ease the pain.”

“I can’t strike Kohaku down not only because I can’t find the courage, but also because it would make Naraku’s day for me to do it too. I will not be party to his manipulations again.” Sango then responded.

“Look at it from your brother’s perspective. He is doing evil things and is unable to stop himself. Even though it may make your enemy happy, striking him down now will lay your brothers’ soul to rest, possibly even saving it from damnation.” Galahad replied. Sango just sighed heavily at that.

I wonder if Galahad ends up changing in the story and having more emotions

Maybe, but it's not likely. Galahad was trained to keep his mind free of emotions as much as possible so that they do not cloud judgement. Remember too that Galahad is my brother's creation, not mine.

thats some pretty awesome writing you got here.

You still reading GBT, KIML?

i am just starting to catch up again. real life got in the way for awhile. SO i'm trying to get back on my feet here. Maybe even write more on my fic.

Chapter II (continued)

Soon afterward they entered the outskirts of the village where it all started, and made their way to Kaede’s hut. The villagers looked suspiciously at Galahad, but didn’t say anything since he was accompanied by the familiar motley crew they knew so well. Kaede was just returning to her hut when she spotted them. A look of confusion crossed her features when she saw Galahad.

“Who is this stranger you have with you?” Kaede asked them as they approached.

“It’s a long story Kaede-babaa. Don’t worry though, he won’t bite.” InuYasha then said.

“I am Galahad, a soldier of Yahweh.” Galahad said, giving a formal bow to Kaede. “Though I take the look of what you call a demon, I am human. I have awakened from cryogenic slumber to protect humanity from its enemies.”

“Cryogenic slumber? Kagome-sama, what does he mean by that?” Kaede asked.

“I will answer that question, my Lady. I have been in slumber for over six thousand years, and I have been recently awakened.” Galahad answered.

“Six thousand years? How could a man live for so long?” Kaede sounded confused.

“I was actually frozen, held in stasis until they found me. That is how.”

“Well if you say you are here to benefit humanity, then you are our ally,” Kaede said, walking toward her hut. “Come inside, we have much to talk about.” They walked into Kaede’s hut and sat down. There Galahad revealed his story about being created and fighting the spawn of Hell. The group also told about how they had found him and what he could do. After awhile InuYasha lost interest and went outside.

“How do you possess such strength, Galahad?” Kaede asked.

“My genetic engineering made me so. In your terms I have much more strength than a common man. My mind has been advanced, and I think at a higher level, also through the process of genetic engineering.” Galahad answered, sipping on a cup of sake.

“Genetic engineering? You didn’t tell us that!” Kagome said.

“You did not ask, and Lady Kaede did. I also figured that if you saw me fling InuYasha across a fifty foot room, you would figure it out.” Galahad answered.

“Enlighten me. What is genetic engineering?” Kaede asked.

“It is where they take the genes in our bodies and modify them. They basically flip switches in what makes us what we are. We are just starting to figure out how to do it in my time.” Kagome said.

“Another thing I’d like to know is why ye look different than the rest of us here, is it too genetic engineering?” Kaede asked.

“I am not from this land, and where I lived before everyone looked like me. But my white hair is not natural, it is a flaw in what I am.” Galahad said. “Now I must go and meditate.” Galahad then stood up and left. As he walked outside, InuYasha stood there, watching him.

“I still need to repay you for what you did back in the cave.” InuYasha said, popping his knuckles.

“I attacked you at first because of instinct and training. It will not happen again. Step aside, I must meditate.” Galahad said.

“I still owe you, and I don’t leave debts.” InuYasha said, snarling.

“You seem stupid. At first I was off balance from cold sleep and now you wish to fight me while I am fully conscious? So be it.” Galahad drew his white bladed gladius and InuYasha drew Tetsusaiga.

“I will enjoy this.” InuYasha said. Galahad put on his helmet and took a fighting stance. “Die!” InuYasha shouted as he leapt into the air, holding Tetsusaiga to do a downward slash. InuYasha swung at Galahad, who nimbly deflected the massive blow into the ground next to his foot. InuYasha was in the process of pulling the blade out of the ground when he felt an uppercut to the jaw. InuYasha was flung into the air, and landed a short ways away from Galahad. InuYasha snarled and charged again, rearing back with the Tetsusaiga. Kagome appeared in the doorway to Kaede’s hut.

“Osuwari!” Kagome shouted. InuYasha slammed into the ground, the Tetsusaiga falling from his hands.

“What in the hell was that for? I could have had him!” InuYasha said from his place on the ground.

As they argued, Galahad turned and walked away, taking off his helmet and sheathing his sword. He walked about the village, looking for a spot to meditate. He picked out a spot, a large hill that overlooked the village. But before heading there he went back to Kaede’s house and took off his armor. Wearing only his shorts, his gladius, the Soul Cube, and the plasma rifle strapped to his back, Galahad started up the hill.

Upon reaching the summit of the large hill, he looked down, scanning the view of the entire village. He sat down and took the plasma rifle off his back. He laid it on his lap, stripped it, and began to clean it. After cleaning and reassembling the weapon, he set it aside and pulled his gladius back out. He pulled a small laser torch out of his pocket and started running the beam over the edge of the blade, sharpening it. It took him longer to sharpen the sword than it took him to clean the plasma rife, the blade had been used a little over twenty minutes ago. After sharpening it for a while, he turned the laser off and picked up a rock off the ground. Holding the rock in his hand, he smoothly cut it in two with the sword. Dropping the chunks of rock, he sheathed the sword and set the Soul Cube before him. Now it was time to meditate.

Does Inuaysha ever learn?

Chapter II (conclusion)

After arguing with InuYasha, Kagome went back inside Kaede’s hut to get her books. Sango and Miroku had went off to gather information about jewel shards, Shippo leaving with them to keep Miroku safe from Sango‘s wrath his wandering hands would bring. Kagome had to get back to her time, that test was getting closer, and she still hadn’t prepared a bit. Gathering all her gear, she set out for the well, hoping that she could cram enough to pass the test. As she walked, she continued to think about Galahad, and what he had said.

"I was created to fight the spawn of Hell if they were to attack again." Galahad’s voice echoed in her mind. What confused her is that he had not said a thing about daily life, or about the government of his civilization, or even its name. ‘What does he have to hide? Almost nothing remains of his time, besides himself. Is it fear of what we will say? I can’t understand this guy’s motives.’ Kagome thought as she crested a hill. To her surprise, she saw Galahad sitting there cross legged, without his armor on, chanting in Latin. His Soul Cube was sitting before him, the four wings unfolded out of its back.

“What are you doing up here?” She asked, rather tentatively.

“Praying, now. I was meditating, but now I am finished with that. Why are you up here?” He asked, not moving from his stance, his eyes still closed.

“I’m heading back to my time, I have a test to study for.”

“Oh really? What subject?” Galahad had still not moved.

“Geometry, and I know I am unprepared.” Kagome said.

“Geometry? Fifteen and you're learning geometry now? My people learned that while still in childhood. Tell me what are you working on, I am sure I can help you.” Galahad said, finally opening his eyes.

“Really?!” Kagome asked, ecstatic.

“Yes.” He said, turning his head to look at her.

“Good! I’m working on the surface area to spheres.” She said, sitting down next to him. He continued watch her with his piercing stare as she told him the problems and formulas she didn’t understand. He was so odd looking, with those blue eyes that seemed to see right through her. He probably knew a lot more about her than she would wish, by the way he looked at her. But after every question, he knew the answer, even without using a calculator. As they worked, her eyes wandered over to the Soul Cube standing before them. Galahad wasn’t watching anymore, he was looking out into the setting sun, his pale skin seeming to glow softly.

“Galahad?” She asked.

“Yes?” He answered.

“Who is that, the figurine that is the Soul Cube?” Kagome asked.

“It represents the single greatest warrior of Yahweh, the Archangel Michael. He led the angels of Heaven in the fight that it took to get Lucifer out of Heaven. Why do you ask?” He said.

“Just wondering.” She said. There was a short pause. “Galahad, how come you never told us about your civilization? You got the point across that it was powerful, and technologically advanced, but not much else.”

“I don’t really know that much. I was kept isolated from them during my training, then I was sent straight off into battle. During the time the technology of the Soul Cube was being researched, we were fighting a losing battle, having to constantly retreat across the surface of Mars. Before then, we had no holy weapons. We were relying only on technology to bring them down.” Galahad then gestured to his strange rifle. “Then Yahweh gave us a boon and placed a great blessing on our close combat weapons and directed us to use them. He said that they would now be much more effective. A couple months later the Soul Cube technology was perfected and immediately incorporated into our armies. We immediately saw a change. Demons 150 ft. tall and greater were now being brought down with minimal casualties. The tide began to turn. We began pushing them back to the demonic portals they had come from. Once we reached them, we found that they were impossible to destroy from this dimension. An elite group was selected to enter them to destroy them on the other side. I was one of them. I will not describe what happened next. It was beyond reason. But I will say that we decimated their leadership and destroyed the portals. How we got back was pure luck. We had to fight our way back up from the depths, but their unification had been lost, making things easier. The lucky part was that we didn’t come across Lucifer. Once we returned to the surface, we finally saw what the invasion had truly done. Mars was wasted, the ecosystem ruined. Within a few years, the atmosphere would become inhospitable. We came here, to Terra. Once here, we rebuilt our civilization, and not long after, we started fighting amongst ourselves, our unity gone. Me and the other warriors were frozen so we couldn’t be used as weapons. We were only to be awakened if another demonic incursion had come. From what I’ve now seen, it seems my civilization destroyed itself.” Galahad then got up and started down the hill without saying another word.

‘He’s all alone in the world now, just like the others. Maybe he could join us in hunting Naraku down and gathering the shards?’ Kagome thought. She then shook her head. 'Get a grip girl. You haven’t got time to dwell on that. You’ve got a test in two days and you haven’t finished cramming. Get going!’ With that, Kagome then ran into the forest to the well, and jumped in.

Uh oh..... I think Kagomes getting a crush on him

Chapter III

“Mama, I’m home!” Kagome yelled as she opened the door to her house and came in.

“Your back sis!” Souta said excitedly as he ran up and hugged her.

“Hello Kagome.” Mrs. Higurashi said warmly as she came from the kitchen and hugged her daughter.

“What happened this time?” Souta then asked eagerly.

“Well, running into this strange warrior was the highlight of it. He’s wasn’t evil, just really, really strange.” Kagome then replied.

“Ooh! Was he a samurai?” Souta then asked.

“No, he wasn’t one of those. He was the strangest looking warrior, not to mention person, I‘ve ever seen. I’ll tell you all more about it later. Right now I need to get to studying!” Kagome then raced up the stairs to her room.

She hadn’t been studying long however, when she heard a familiar thump outside her window.

“InuYasha, what are you doing here? You know I can‘t come back right away.” Kagome asked unenthusiastically without looking up as he opened the window and came inside.

“Keh! With Sango, Miroku, and Shippo gone I have nothing to do except maybe try to fight with the metal-clad warrior, and I know you won’t let me to do that.” InuYasha said gruffly.

“His name is Galahad, and you know absolutely nothing about him. Besides, you could’ve gone with Sango, Miroku, and Shippo.” Kagome then replied.

“And leave you to find us on your own when you return? Woman, what’s the matter with you? Don’t you remember Muso?” InuYasha reminded her. Muso had been another incarnation of Naraku. He’d attacked while Kagome had been gone. When Kagome had returned and found them, Muso had gone after her. InuYasha continued. “Besides, there’s danger on this side of the well too.” Kagome rolled her eyes at that.

“Of course I know that. You don’t have to remind me a thousand times. Now let me get back to studying, or I’ll ‘sit’ you. Go play video games with Souta or something.” she then said as she turned back to her Geometry book, the ‘mysterious book of spells’ as InuYasha called it.

“Feh.” InuYasha said as he got up and sauntered out. Descending the stairs, he started looking for Souta when he passed a table with a telephone (denwa) on it.

RRRRIIIINNNGGG! The telephone rang, and InuYasha jumped from the assault on his hearing.

“Ouch! What the hell was that?” he then said, flattening his ears to his head. He then heard the ringing again, and this time knew it was coming from the strange contraption Kagome and her family called a telephone. His curiosity then got the better of him. He’d seen how Kagome one time picked up part of it after it ringed and started speaking into that part of it. He reached down and picked up the receiver, holding it the same way he’d seen Kagome hold it. “Hello?” he then asked.

“Hello? Kagome? Are you there?” Ayumi’s voice squawked from the other end of the receiver. InuYasha was dumbfounded.

“S-s-she’s busy at the moment. Uhh, hold on a second.” InuYasha stumbled out. He then dropped the receiver to the floor and raced back up the stairs. “Kagome! Somebody’s on the...denwa? That’s what it’s called ain’t it?” InuYasha yelled into the door.

“Thanks InuYasha.” he heard from the other side. Kagome then opened the door, went down the stairs and picked up the phone. InuYasha meanwhile, opened the door to Souta’s room and saw him sitting on the floor in front of one of those ‘moving picture boxes’ and holding some funny looking rock with sticks poking out of it. A string seemed to run from the rock to another strange rock on the floor. Souta also was wearing a strange set of headgear that InuYasha could easily hear some very weird music coming from. InuYasha walked up and bent down to better hear the sounds coming from the headgear. Souta was moving a stick on the rock, pressing spots on it, and watching intently what was happening in the moving picture box.

“Oi kid. What are you doing?” InuYasha then asked. Souta hit a button on the rock, and the movement on the box stopped. He then took off the headgear and looked up.

“Oh, InuYasha! I’ve been wanting to show you my Play Station 2! Just sit down here and I’ll show you how it works!” Souta then said happily. InuYasha then sat down nervously.

-

Galahad finished eating, tearing right through it without a word. He sat the dishes aside and muttered a quiet prayer in thanks. Kaede looked at him oddly when he said the words of his tongue.

“You speak more than one tongue?” Kaede asked.

“Yes elder, I speak four.” Galahad replied.

“You are quite an interesting foreigner, even though you are of a heritage I have never seen. What are you called again?”

“I am a albino Caucasian.” Galahad said, sipping on a cup of tea. He suddenly set the cup down and stood up. “I sense evil drawing near.” He said. Galahad went over to his rifle and picked it up.

“I don’t sense anything, what is it?” Kaede asked, standing up, getting her bow and arrows.

“They are what you call oni, and there is about fifteen of them.” Galahad said, cocking the rifle. It began to hum and the barrel produced a soft blue light.

“What!? Fifteen of them?! I must rally the villagers!” Kaede said in a hurried voice, but Galahad had already sprinted out the door into the night air.

‘They are searching for me. They want no one else. I must deal with this myself.’ Galahad thought as he ran to the eastern side of the village, where the feeling of evil came from. He stopped about twenty five yards from the edge of the forest, where red eyes glowed out of the darkness at him. The villagers amassed behind him as he put on his helmet. A loud bark sounded out, followed by snarls and snorts. ‘Bull Demons.’ Suddenly a distinct roar ruptured the cacophony of the lesser demons, and silence followed ‘And a Knight of Hell.’ A green tinted version of a Baron of Hell stepped out of the forest, holding a sword of green flame.

Shippo: Eeep... More of those freaky oni?

Sylt: *sighs* Even if I were there my Shardspray would hardly be able to do anything besides anger them

o_o the demons from Galahads word are rallying the demons in Inuyashas world

*shakes head* Nope. Let me just say that the Bull Demons are from the true Hell as well. I'll post a screenshot of them after the next update.

okay, and sweet

Chapter III (continued)

“[Who is the one that is called Galahad?!]” the Hell Knight spoke in the black speech. The villagers began mumbling in fear.

“Villagers, you have no part in this, leave now, and spare yourselves.” Galahad said to back to the villagers. He then addressed the Knight. “[I am the one called Galahad. It is I you seek!]” Galahad said in black speech. The Hell Knight bared his teeth, showing his incisors and four inch canines.

“[He is the one! Bring him down!]” The Knight shouted, pointing his sword at Galahad. Galahad quickly sheathed his sword and pulled his plasma rifle off his back. Fourteen pinkish, horned oni burst out of the forest and began charging at Galahad. The villagers listened and fled from the scene. The oni were hunchbacked, with a large head full of large teeth, and large claws on the paws and hooves. They stood upright on two legs and ran at a blundering lope.

BLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBLAM! The area lit up in blue light as five shots flew out of Galahad’s plasma rifle, the sun-bright blue bolts ripping through the flesh of the lead demon. It collapsed in a pool of blood as the others tromped over its corpse. Galahad began running backwards, letting loose with his plasma gun. The villagers were screaming and holding their ears at the thunder-like blasts of the gun. Galahad played cat and mouse with the Bull Demons most of the way across the village before the last fell to his weapon. Steaming from the amount of heat it was producing, Galahad swung the instrument of death back over his shoulder and redrew his sword. The Hell Knight was in no hurry, he was simply walking toward him, the ground setting afire at his feet. The villagers had forgotten the fighting and now were trying to put out the fire that was raging around a few huts due to the Hell Knight's walking.

“[Now that your plasma gun has been subdued, we can begin.]” The Knight said. Galahad simply shrugged and flew at the Knight, his blade a blur in the air. The air crackled as light met darkness in the form of swords. The Knight parried the blows Galahad sent, his skill with a blade nearly matching Galahad’s. With sudden force, Galahad knocked the blade of flame out of the Hell-oni’s hand, the burning magic blade landing on the ground behind him. The demon immediately responded with a swing of full force, his demonic strength punch sending Galahad flying through the wall of a hut.

Galahad no longer saw a Heads Up Display, his helmet had been knocked completely off. Wiping the blood from his temple, he got to his feet and ran back out of the hole he had made. The demon had picked his sword up again, and was taunting Galahad.

“[Ha ha ha. Without your plasma gun, you don’t stand much of a chance against me. Those underlings were a good diversion for that weapon.]” The Knight said. Galahad grinned. The Knight gave him a strange look.

“[You must not remember what I can do. I must remind you!]” With one sweeping motion, Galahad pulled the now charged Soul Cube off his belt and flung at it at the oni. The wings on the figure unfolded and flew into the oni’s chest. There was a bright flash, as bright as an atomic explosion. The demon didn’t even have time to scream before he was little more than a puddle of evaporating blood on the ground. The Soul Cube continued flying, returning to Galahad’s hand, and he attached it to his belt.

The villagers looked at Galahad, as he stood there catching his breath. His temple was still bleeding, and his armor was blackened in spots from running through fire. He walked back in the hut he had flown into and retrieved his helmet. He now saw that some of the villagers had been killed by the Bull Demons during their rampage. The corpses of the Bull Demon oni were turning to ash and evaporating into nothing, the spirits nothing more. Parts of the village were still ablaze, the villagers still putting them out. Galahad went back into Kaede’s hut to remove his armor, it was difficult to put out fires when your armor heated up like an oven.

-

“Game Over again, I win! WOOT!” Souta shouted.

“That’s it. I’ve had enough.” InuYasha said as he dropped the video game controller. Souta had been handing his ass to him in a fighting game every time for over two hours now.

“I’ve got a few more games. Don’t you want to try them?” Souta then asked.

“No. They’ll all be just as hard as this one! Besides, looking at the box for so long is making my head hurt.” He then went out and opened the door to Kagome’s room. Kagome jumped up from her desk at the sound of the door opening and quickly looked in the direction of it.

“InuYasha! How rude! Didn’t you ever hear of knocking!” She yelled at him.

“Feh! We don’t have ‘doors’ on the other side of the well! Are you done studying?” he then asked gruffly.

“No. Don’t you remember I’m staying until after the test. I’m going to be up all night cramming anyway.”

“Damn. I can’t stand to be here that long. I’ll be waiting in Goshinboku on the other side then. Head straight to the well house after your ‘test’ is over.” He then said as he opened the window and jumped out.

‘Hmph. For him telling me to not even say goodbye to my family before coming back, I’m not heading back until nightfall then when I do have to come.’ Kagome thought as she went back to studying.

InuYasha lumbered over to the well house and lazily jumped in. ‘No use being in any hurry. I got nothing to do until she or the others return.’ he thought as the time slip accepted him. When he jumped out on the other side, the strong odor of smoke stopped him. In a split second he had determined the direction of the scent and his thoughts immediately went dark as he then took off as fast as he could toward the village, bounding from treetop to treetop.

Futuristic Warrior from the Past

Chapter III (conclusion)

The sight that greeted him when he arrived horrified him. Several huts were aflame, with villagers running with buckets of water desperately trying to put out the fires. InuYasha saw the strange warrior, Galahad, without his armor amongst them, assisting. InuYasha dashed toward Kaede’s hut, not finding the old miko there. He grabbed a spare bucket from inside and joined in the firefighting as well. He noticed Kaede was directing the villagers. He filled up his bucket from the nearby ponds and started running a loop from the ponds to one hut after another, heaving the water on the fly as he passed them. After about an hour and a half of fighting the fires, they were finally all out. About half of the huts had been badly damaged, but fortunately none had completely burned to the ground. Returning to the old miko’s hut with her and Galahad, InuYasha plopped down against the wall.

“Will somebody now tell me what the hell happened while I was gone?” he then asked.

“Some oni came for me.” Galahad answered.

“Damn it! I shouldn’t have followed Kagome through the well then! I missed a rumble!” InuYasha then said, growling and clenching his fists.

“Oh don’t worry. None of them had any of those shards you all are looking for. They only ravaged the village and tried to kill me.” Galahad said, closing his eyes and putting a hand to the cut above his right eyebrow.

“Galahad, you must truly be some kind of Kami to have such spells as those you used.” Kaede said in bewilderment as she thought back to the battle.

“No, I’m not what you call a Kami, I am simply a servant of who you call Kami-sama.” Kaede’s single eye opened wide at that.

“Uh, what exactly happened?” InuYasha said in a confused voice. Kaede then proceeded to explain in detail how the battle went. She was interrupted when a villager walked in, followed by his daughter.

“Thank you, kind sir for rescuing my daughter. To give you my thanks, I offer you her hand in marriage.” He then said with a deep bow to Galahad. Galahad walked up to the girl and looked at her. She looked at him with wide rimmed eyes, telling him that she was ready to drop to her knees and worship him at any moment. He looked her in the eyes.

“I thank you for the offer, but I must decline.” He said, then looking at her father. “Find her someone who would be a better husband than I. I am a soldier of Yahweh, nothing more. It is my choice to live and die alone.” He then turned around and sat down.

The villager was agape and speechless. His daughter was one of the most beautiful in the village, having been the object of the amorous monks affections a lot. He simply motioned for his daughter to follow as he walked out of the hut. His daughter took one last look at Galahad, then left pouting, then breaking out into sobs after they were out of the hut.

“Well, it’s good to see the women of this village won’t have to worry ‘bout you fondling them.” InuYasha said with a smug grin. Galahad gave him a razor sharp look, and shook his head. InuYasha continued. “Still, even if you did waste all the oni and didn’t need my help, I still would’ve liked to have been here to see you wield that magic stick Kaede was talking about.”

“Oh, the plasma rifle? On the morrow I shall let you try it out. When will Kagome and the others be back?” Galahad then asked.

“Kagome won’t be back till dusk tomorrow. The others should be back by noon. If they aren’t, we’re both going after ‘em.” InuYasha then said.

“That depends on whether I wish to accompany you or not. You may order the others around, but you shall not and will not order me around.” Galahad then said with an edge in his tone.

“Keh!” InuYasha then said as he got up and walked out of the hut. After hearing of Kaede’s story of the battle, InuYasha had finally realized it was not a good idea to anger the holy warrior. Galahad and Kaede then heard a thump on the roof as InuYasha lept up there.

“Interesting. I’ve seen few do that in my lifetime, offer their daughter’s hand in marriage to a complete stranger like that, but what really surprises me is that you declined. You really upset her you know. Explain your reasoning behind it.” Kaede then said, rubbing her chin.

“Well, when she really got to know me, I don’t think she’d like what she thought of me, and also the fact I’m probably going to get attacked again and again over the next few days or weeks wouldn’t sit well with her or her father either.” Galahad answered. He was halfway through the last word when InuYasha came back in through the doorway.

“Did you just say that what happened tonight is probably going to happen again?” He asked, giving Galahad a hard stare.

“Well, I am a solider of Yahweh - Kami-sama - and they are the forces of Hell. We are more than just sworn enemies and they know that I have awakened. What do you think?” Galahad answered.

“You know what? Now that I think about it, I’m starting to think that going into that damn cave to escape that storm wasn’t such a good idea.” InuYasha said grumpily.

“I would have awakened sooner or later anyway. And it wasn’t you who awakened me. It was a power surge.”

“Wait a minute? Are you talking about that lightning that arced across your column before it busted?” InuYasha then asked.

“It’s called a cryogenic tank, and yes it was. You all just happened to be there at the right time to see it happen.” Galahad explained. “Besides, it will be a few days before they notice their entourage didn’t return.”

InuYasha then “keh‘d” and left the hut again.
