Some New Friends
This book is a combo of Yu Yu Harusho, Inuyasha, FLCL, Naruto, Rave Master, Final Fantasy XI, and Shaman King.

This story continues from The Great Adventure. Last time Ash, Hitomi, Joey, Yugi, Goku, Tenchi, Brock, and Misty went to explore the world.

“So where are we gonna go?” asked Ash.
“Let’s just walk around.”
“Hey how about we split up?” asked Ash, after a few days of exploring.
“Sure why not?” said Tenchi.
So they split up.

Following Ash, Misty and Brock...
They walked into a town.
“This looks like an ok place.”
“Yeah it’s not bad.” said Misty.
“Pika.”
Little did they know that a young man and woman were hovering overhead.
“Oh no.” said the boy.
“It’s some new kids.”
“Yusuke what’s the big deal.”
“Botan! New kids are attacked when they come in.”
“Oh well that’s bad.”
“See I told ya.”
Four boys walked over to Ash.
“We don’t take kindly to new kids. So you get your first pounding.”
He cracked his knuckles.
“Botan can’t I help them.”
“I’m sorry Yusuke but you can’t. Your dead remember?”
“Yeah I remember.”
The boys went after Ash all at once. He disappeared.
“Where’d he go?”
Ash reappeared. He beat them up.
“Whoa. That kids great!” said Yusuke.
“Who is he?”
“Um... let me check. His name’s Ash, Age 18, has a younger sister, Saved her life twice, Saved the world once, Pretty Impressive.”
“Yeah, hey Botan why is he lookin’ at us?”
“Quit being paranoid, I told you that they can’t see us.”
Ash flew up to him.
“How can he fly!?” said Yusuke.
“Hiya.”
“You can see us?!”
Ash nodded. "Duh. You’re right there."
“He must be highly in tune with the Spirit World.”
“My names Ash. Who are you?”
“My name’s Botan and I’m the ferrywoman for the River Styx. I’m also called the Grim Reaper.”
“Uh… I thought the Grim Reaper was some skeleton thing…”
She laughed “Nope I’m not a skeleton.” She smiled.
“I’m Yusuke. Nice to meet ya.”
“Same here.”

So Yusuke showed Ash, Misty, and Brock around town. After awhile Ash decided to explore on his own. While downtown Ash passed a beautiful girl. Whoa!
When he turned around she was gone.
“I wonder who she is.”
He went back to Yusuke.
“Well what’d she look like?” he asked.
“Well she had her hair in a bun with spikes in it.”
“What color hair?”
“She’s blonde.”
“What was she wearing?”
“She had a gray uniform on.”
“I know her. Her name’s Krystal.”
“Yusuke I think I love her.”
“For real!?”
Ash nodded.
“Well she is the (second) cutest girl in town.”
“Well I’m going to go look for her.”
“Hey aren’t you already married?”
“No. What makes you think that?”
“Nothing go ahead.”
Ash went looking all over for Krystal and he found her.
What should I do? He thought and ducked around the corner.
“Oh no I forgot my books at school!” she said.
“Well you better hurry up and go get them.” said one of the girls with her.
She turned around and ran back towards the school. She turned the corner and ran into Ash.
“Whoa careful don’t hurt yourself.”
“Ow… Oh I’m so sorry!” She looked up at him and blushed. “Uh…umm…”
“Hi My name’s Ash. What’s yours?”
“It’s Krystal.”
“Would you wanna do something today?”
“Sure! …I mean yeah, ok.”
“Okay I’ll see you around eight?”
“Ok see ya then.”
She left and went over to her friends.
“Hey what took you so long?” asked one of her friends.
“Nothing.”
“Who were you talking to?”
“His name’s Ash. I think I really like him, Keiko.”
“Did you forget about your books?”
“Oh crap!”
She ran back towards Ash and smiled as she passed him. She came back to her friends and left. Ash went back to Yusuke.
“So what happened?”
“I’m gonna see her at eight.”
“Lucky you.”
“She hangs out with two other girls.”
“Who were they?”
“One of their names is Keiko.”
“Keiko!?”
“Yeah. Why?”
“Keiko is Yusuke’s girlfriend.” said Botan.
“Botan! I told you she’s not my girlfriend!”
“Whatever.”
Ash met Krystal at eight and after that they went on a lot of other dates.
Yusuke got his life back and went on dates with Keiko.
“So you do like each other.”
“No comment.”

Back with everyone else...
“So Ash what did you do?”
“Nothing.”
“Well let’s go.”
“I can’t I’m waiting for someone.”
Krystal, Yusuke, Keiko, and Botan (she’s in human form) came.
“Who are they?” asked Goku.
“This is Yusuke, Keiko, and Botan.”
“Hi nice to meet you!” everyone said.
“And this is Krystal.”
“Hi.”
So everyone left with four new friends.

In the next town...
Ash called Serena.
“Hi Ash. How are you?”
“I’m fine.”
“If it’s not too much trouble can you stop by the lookout?”
“Sure. I’ll be right over.”
He hung up.
“Ash she didn’t seem very happy.” said Krystal.
“I’ll go see her.”
“I’ll wait here. I hope everything’s alright.”
“Thanks I’ll be back soon.”

Back at the Lookout...
When Ash arrived Serena was waiting for him.
“Hey.”
“What’s up?”
“Rini told me something I didn’t know.”
“What?”
“Well you remember that she said you were her dad?”
“Yeah.”
“Well she never mentioned who was her mom.”
“That’s true.”
“Well she told me that her mom’s name is Krystal.”
“Really?!”
“Yes.”
She looked down. A tear rolled down her cheek. Ash wiped it off.
“Don’t cry. Serena you’re still my best friend no matter what.”
“Thanks Ash you’re the greatest.”
“Do you wanna come with us?”
“Yeah, Of course.” So they went back.
“Hi! My name’s Krystal.”
“Hi. I’m Serena.”
“It’s nice to meet you.”
“Same here.”
“Ash I don’t get it,” said Yusuke.
”I mean after one date you already love each other. Sheesh.”
Ash laughed.
“Hey Yusuke. Let a pro tell you that Ash is probably the easiest person to be friends with.” said Serena.
They continued walking.
“Um… Krystal.”
“Yeah Ash.”
“I have something to tell you.”
“What?”
Suddenly Rini appeared. “Hi!”
“Wah! Where’d you come from!?”
“Hey who are you?”
“My name’s Rini.” she said. “I’m Ash’s daughter.”
“What!? You have a daughter!”
“Well yeah in the future.”
“What do you mean?”
Ash explained about how Rini got there.
“Well I guess I believe you. You would never lie.”
“That’s nice I’ll tell him that when you’re dead.”
“What?”
He ran up to her and grabbed her by the neck.
“What are you doing!?” said Goku.
“I, Dr. Gero, swore I would kill the one Ash loves so dearly.”
“Dr. Gero!?”

Somewhere in the mountains...
“How are we gonna get outta here?” asked Ash.
Ash and Serena were captured in Dr. Gero’s lab.
“I don’t know but we better get out of here fast.” “Why?”
“I have a bad feeling that Krystal is in trouble.”
“If he hurts her he’s dead.”
Ash powered up and snapped the chains that held him. He went over and destroyed Serina’s too.
“Let’s go.”
They arrived as Gero formed a Ki blast on his hand. Ash flew over and punched him in the face. As he fell the Ki blast flew off his hand and into Ash. He fell to the ground.
“No! Ash!”
Krystal ran over to him.
“Ash no don’t leave me.”
Up in other world…
“Damn it! How could that kill me!? That makes no sense!”
“Now Ash calm down. King Yenma has given you back your life.”
“Really! King Kai that’s great!” said Ash.
“Ok. I’ll be going now.”
Ash used the Instant Transmission. Ash came up above Gero.
“Well I guess I don’t have to kill him now.” He laughed. “Now it’s your turn Krystal. And think of it this way, at least you get to be with him.”
That’s what you think. Kamekame… He smiled. “Ha!”
“What!”
Dr. Gero looked up. The Kamekameha destroyed him. Ash flew down to Krystal. She had her eyes closed and tears were on her cheeks.
”Hey. Don’t cry.”
He wiped them off.
“Ash…?” She opened her eyes. “Ash you’re alive!”
She hugged him and said “I thought you were dead.”
“Well actually I was.”
“Ash I don’t know what I would have done without you.”
They continued on with their adventure.
"Ash what did you mean you did die."
"Well when people die they either go to Koenma or King Yenma." said Botan.
"Exactly I go to King Yenma and he gave me my life back."
"WHAT!!? I had to go through a whole ordeal to get my life back."
“That's the only difference. Koenma has ordeals and King Yenma goes with good deeds.” said Botan.

Continuing along...
"I'm tired." said Joey.
"There's a temple up here we can rest in."
When they got there Tenchi asked if they could stay.
"Sure Tenchi you’re always welcome." said an old man.
"Thanks. Where's Kagome?"
"She's not here now."
Later that night... Ash and Serena were exploring the temple.
"There's nothing in here but an old well." said Serena.
"It's creepy."
Ash sneaked up behind her.
"Boo!"
"Ahh! Ash you jerk! Don't do that!"
She pushed him into the well. She ran over to it.
"Oh Ash are you... where is he?"
She told Tenchi.
"I have no clue what happened."

Back with Ash...
“Ha. If I knew that was gonna hurt I wouldn’t have done that.”
He looked up.
"Huh. Why can I see the sky?"
He got out of the well. It was surrounded by trees.
“Well….Looks like I’m not in Kansas anymore.” he laughed.
"Who are you?" said a boy.
"Huh? Oh my name's Ash."
Suddenly a girl came from behind the trees.
"Inuyasha! What's taking so... Who's that?"
"This is Ash." said Inuyasha. He walked over to her.
"Can we trust him?" asked the girl.
"Yeah. He doesn't seem evil.”
“How'd he get here?"
"How do you think Kagome!? He came through the well. Geez use your head once in awhile…”
“What did you say!?” she said and hit him on the head. “Humph…”
"Um... Hello." said Ash.
"Oh sorry. I guess that was pretty rude. My name's Kagome."
"Hi."
"Hey could you help us with something?" asked Inuyasha, holding his head.
"Yeah why not?"
"We need to get shards of this jewel."
"Ok then let’s get going."
So after many battles and many injuries they got most of them.
"Are you sure my arm will heal?" asked Kagome.
"Yea, you weren't burnt that bad." said Inuyasha.
"Hey Inuyasha. Why don't you come back with us." said Ash.
"Yeah that's a great idea." said Kagome.
"Ok… I guess."
So they jumped in the well and reappeared at the temple.
"Come on Inuyasha we'll show you around."
So Inuyasha met everyone.
“Um… Inuyasha?”
“Ya Ash?”
“How come you have… like… dog’s ears?”
“Inuyasha’s a half-demon. His strength and those ears are what really separates him from being fully human.” explained Kagome.
“If you say so…”

A few days later...
Ash, Misty and Brock were talking when Ash’s mom came in.
“Guys I need to talk to you.”
“Sure what’s up?” said Brock.
“Well I was checking around the internet and found that...”
She paused.
“Let me guess.” said Ash.
“Okay go ahead.”
“You found out another one of my siblings that you lost.”
“Exactly. But you’ll never guess who.”
So after a few guesses she told him.
“It’s Misty.”
“WHAT!!” they looked at each other.
“But she can’t be my sister. She already has sisters.”
“Well actually I was adopted by them.”
“By the way you never said what your last name is.” said Brock.
“Well I guess its Ketchem.”
She smiled.

Note ---- Just for a reminder I’m going to put all the characters so far. Ash, Hitomi, and Misty Ketchem ,Joey Wheeler, Yugi Moto, Serena Sekenu, Goku, Tenchi Muyo, Brock, Boton, Yusuke Urameshi, Keiko Yukimora, Krystal Ataru, Kagome, and Inuyasha.

A few weeks later…
Yusuke got his second big case as spirit detective. In the first one he met two demons who later became friends. There names are Hei and Kurama.
“In your new case you have to infiltrate Maze Castle and defeat the three saint beasts and their leader.” said Koenma.
Koenma sent a tape to tell Yusuke.
“The leader has a special flute that controls demon insects called the Maki. They have already infected a number of humans in your world. Good luck.”
The tape turned off.
“That’s great.” Yusuke said sarcastically.
“Um… Yusuke that’s not everything.” said Botan.
“They’ve also taken a hostage.”
“Who?” asked Kuwabara.
He’s Yusuke’s biggest rival but they decided to team up.
“Well it’s…” she looked around. “Keiko.”
“WHAT?!” Yusuke jumped to his feet. “HOW COULD YOU LET HER GET CAPTURED!!”
“We didn’t know.”
“…… How do we get there?” said Yusuke.
“You can’t go by yourself.”
“I’m coming too.” said Kuwabara.
“You can count on us too.” said Kurama.
“Okay.”
“I’ll go too.” said Ash.
“How did you know?”
“Well I was passing by and I heard you scream.”
“Was he that loud?” said Botan.
“Maybe louder.”
“Well how do we get in?”
“The portal is in an abandoned warehouse.”
So they went to the warehouse and jumped in the portal. Botan stayed out and dealt with the insects. But first she told Kuwabara’s sister where he was. And she told Ash’s sisters and Krystal where he was.
“I wonder if Ash would do that for me.” said Krystal.
“I bet if he heard you disappeared he’d be gone before he knew where you were.” said Misty.
“Yeah, I bet he would.” said Hitomi.
“Yeah I guess so.” said Krystal.

Later…
Yusuke and his friends came back.
“She wasn’t even there.” said Yusuke.
Then Yusuke saw smoke.
“Something’s on fire.”
He ran over. Ash and the others followed. Yusuke froze.
“Tha…that’s K-Keiko’s house.”
He ran over to the officer near the house.
“Did everyone get out of there?”
“No there was one young woman that died.”
“No Keiko.”
He fell to his knees. The others came over.
“I’m sorry Urameshi.” said Kuwabara.
“Where’s Ash?” asked Hei.
Ash ran over to another burning house.
“Krystal.”
He ran in and mostly everything in there was burning.
“Is anyone in here?” said Ash.
He saw something move. He ran over.
“Misty.”
“Ash?”
“Shh. I need to get you to a hospital.”
“Misty,” said Ash after he got her to the hospital.
“Who did this?”
“I don’t know.”
“Well whoever that is he’s dead.”
After a few days Ash finally found out who did it. Ash killed him but he was really injured. Ash stopped breathing.

A few days later…
Misty was on a quest to get the dragonballs with Goku, Gohan, and Yusuke. Ash woke up in a tight box.
“What the heck?”
He punched out the top and dug thru the dirt above it.
“I was in a coffin.” said Ash. “Freaky.”
Ash lost his powers somehow. He went back to his house and got his Poke’mon. He found out from his mom where Misty was and started off in that direction. The next day a strange girl passed by Ash’s house on a Groudon, a dinosaur type Poke’mon, when Ash’s mom called her over. “Excuse me. Is your name May?”
“Um.. Yeah. And you are?”
“I’m your mom.”
“Really?”
“Yes. And you have two sisters and one brother.”
She told her about their death and the dragonballs.
“Ash went that way. Could you help him out?”
“Sure.”
She rode off. After a few hours she found Ash.
“Hey my name’s May.” she said.
“I’m your sister.”
“That wouldn’t surprise me. I’m Ash.”
“I came to help you get to Misty.”
“Thanks.”
He got on Groudon behind May. Groudon ran off. After a few minutes they saw Misty. Groudon skidded to a halt next to her.
“Ash?” said Misty. “You’re alive!”
“Yep I was only unconscious. It takes a lot to kill me.”
“And who’s this?”
“This is May. She’s our sister.”
“Well that’s three girls to one boy.”
“Yeah I never saw this coming.”
Suddenly a guy on a Pigeot flew over them. He jumped off and landed next to Ash. The Pigeot landed next to him.
“Who are you?”
“My name’s Blane. I’m your brother.”
“Geez, How many siblings do we have?” said Misty.
“As far as I know, this is it.” said Blane. “There’s only Hitomi, You, May, Ash, and Me.”

After a while…
They made it to the dragonballs. The dragon appeared.
“Make your wish.” said the dragon.
“I wish everyone killed by Blaze would be brought back to life.”
“It shall be done.”
Krystal, Hitomi, and Keiko appeared.
“Ash!” said Krystal and she ran over.
“A lot’s happened since you died.”
“Like what?” asked Hitomi.
“Well we have two more siblings.”
“Who?”
“This is May and Blane.”
“Hi it’s nice to meet you.”

A little later…
Everyone continued on and then everyone decided to split up. Ash and Krystal went one way.
“Hey Ash did you ever wonder how Rini is our daughter?” said Krystal.
“Yeah she doesn’t look like either of us.”
“In fact, she looks more like Serina.”
Suddenly there was a flash.
“Rini!” said Ash. “You’re not Rini.”
“Ash? Is that you?” said a young woman.
“Yeah I’m Ash but who are you?”
“And you’re Krystal?”
“Yes.”
“I’m Xianghua. But you call me Ryu. I’m your daughter.”
“What!?”
“But we have a daughter named Rini.”
“Rini? No she’s Serina’s daughter.”
There was a long pause.
“Well, Ryu, how old are you?”
“I’m 18 but I’m from the future so it will be awhile.”
“You shouldn’t have come!”
“Why not?”
“Trunks said the next person who came from the future would be stuck here forever.”
“Well I guess I’m your eighteen year old daughter forever now.”
“Heh.”
They met back with the others.
“Ash who’s that?” said Misty. “Let me guess. She’s our sister right?”
He laughed “That would be normal but no.”
“She’s our daughter.” said Krystal.
“B... but isn’t Rini your daughter.” said Serina.
“Actually we got it backwards Rini is your daughter.” said Ash.
“We were thinking she looked more like you before we met Ryu.”
“Ash she came from the future right?” said Trunks.
“I told her is there anything else she should know?”
“Yes if someone comes from the future whatever role they play in history will be filled. This means she will now be your daughter so her present form will replace the one that wasn’t born yet.”

Meanwhile…
Inuyasha and Kagome went back to the past. Ash caught up with them. “Why are we back here?” asked Ash.
“We need to kill Sesshoumaru.” said Inuyasha.
“Why didn’t we do that last time?”
“Don’t you remember?” said Kagome.
Flashback:
“Now it’s time for you to die Inuyasha.” said Sesshoumaru.
“What’d you say!?”
They started to fight.
“Hey Kagome, who is this guy?” said Ash.
“This is Inuyasha’s brother.”
Present:
“But we didn’t kill him.”
“There was no reason too.” she said. “Like now for instance.”
“Kagome, shut it.” said Inuyasha.
“Well there’s no reason to kill him. He’s not as bad as Naraku.”
“Well, well, well if it isn’t my brother.” said Sesshoumaru.
“Inuyasha can’t leave here till he gets all the jewel shards again.”
“Why don’t you meet my new friend? Come Kagaromaru.”
A man in shackles came through the trees.
“You may do as you please.”
The shackles broke and he stood up.
“Bring it on.” said Inuyasha.
He ran over and cut Kagaromaru in the chest.
Then something came out of the ground and went past Inuyasha’s cheek.
“What was that?”
It landed next to Kagaromaru.
“I am Geromaru, I control Kagaromaru and he only obeys me.”
“Well, good for you.” said Inuyasha sarcastically.
Geromaru dug underground.
“Where’d he go?!”
He came up near Kagome.
“No Kagome!”
Ash ran over and pushed her out of the way. Geromaru went strait through Ash.
“Ash!”
“I’m okay just get him.”
Inuyasha killed him after a while.

Later…
Everyone went back to heal. Inuyasha and Kagome got in a fight (like always). She left and Shippo, a fox type half-demon, followed her.
“Why are you going he didn’t mean all that.”
“I know, I’m just making him worry plus I’m going to get more bandages and medicine.”
She came back and Inuyasha had killed a snake, soul stealing, demon. Kikiyo, almost Kagome’s double but in the past, was wounded and Inuyasha promised he’d protect her from then on. She left and he turned around. Kagome was standing there watching him.
Kagome, she was watching.
She turned around and walked away.
“Ash can you follow her please.” he said. “Make sure she’s okay.”
“Of course.”
He left and jumped in the well.
Kagome I’m sorry.
“Kagome what are you doing?”
“He doesn’t care about me.”
“Yes he does.”
She backed into a wall.
“No he does…”
He walked over and banged on the wall.
“Yes he does! He loves you Kagome!”
There was silence.
“You’re right. I’m sorry.”
She hugged him.
“Thanks for the help Ash.”
She jumped in the well.
“Ash you’re really helpful ya know that?” said Ryu.
He smiled.
“Anyway I came her to tell you something I forgot when we met.”
“Yeah?”
“You have another daughter. Her name’s Exire.”
“Anything else?”
“First things first, I told her if I didn’t come back soon to come here.”
“How old is she?”
“She’s my little sister. She’s 16. Also you have a son too, named Bryth.”
“Let me guess coming from the future?”
“Sadly, no.”
She looked down.
“He disappeared a little before I left. Exire went to look for him while I came to you.”

Later…
Ash, Hitomi, Blane and May decided to go see Kasumi. (She had left two years before to find her brother.) They came to a big house.
“Man! This is where she lives?!” said Ash. “She rich or something?”
Hitomi laughed “No silly, she lives with her aunt. Her parents died before we met you.”
They went up to the door and knocked. A young girl came and answered it.
“Yes?” she said. “Ash!?”
“Do I know you?”
“It’s me Kasumi.”
“Kasumi?! You’ve really changed. Oh this is May and Blane.”
“Come on in.”
“So how’s it going? Did you find your brother?”
“Yeah I did. How have you been?”
“Fine. A lot has happened since you left.”
“Like what?”
“Well, Hitomi, Misty, and May are my sisters and Blane is my brother.”
“Wow I guess a lot has happened. Are you still dating Serina?”
“No I’m dating a girl named Krystal.”
“Is Rini still your daughter?”
“No she’s Serina’s daughter. But I have two daughters named Ryu and Exire. The former is 18 and the latter is 16. We also have a son named Bryth who is Exire’s age.”
“How?!”
“Ryu’s from the future but everyone that comes back from the future stay’s here forever. The others didn’t get here yet.”
Then a butler came though the door.
“Sorry for the intrusion madam but you have a message from your aunt.”
“I’ll look at it later.”
“It’s urgent madam.”
“Ok I’ll look at it.”
It read:

Kasumi, dear, I have some strange news. It is from a woman I met while shopping. She said her name was Mrs. Ketchem. She brought to my attention that you we’re not your patent’s child. You are also a Ketchem and a sister to her son Ash. This surprises me as much as it must surprise you. But it would be even stranger if he happened to be your friend. I wish you a happy life.
Love always,
Aunt H.

“What does it say?”
“It says that I’m your sister too.”
There was a long silence.
Ash laughed “This gets more ridiculous every time.”
Hitomi sighed “Well I guess we should go then.”
Kasumi packed up and then was ready to leave.
“How many times has this happened?”
“Six times counting you.” said May as she smiled.
“Yeah I guess this is getting annoying and stupider ever time.”
“It depends on who it is. I was really shocked when my mom said Misty was my sister.” said Ash.

Three weeks later…
“We’ve waited too long for Exire to find Bryth.” said Ash. “I’m gonna go see if I can find them.”
“Let me come with you they’re my brother and sister.”
“Fine. It’ll be easier to find them with someone else anyways.”
So they went to the future. They arrived in some type of forest. Suddenly a dagger flew past and got stuck in a tree.
“What the hell?” said Ash.
He saw an opening in the trees. There were some buildings around.
“Go around to the other side, I’ll continue this way.”
Ash saw two boys fighting and a boy and girl standing near them. One boy lost, said “not bad” and disappeared. The girl spotted Ash and said something to the two boys.
“You over in the trees, show yourself.” said the one boy.
Ash looked over at Ryu and nodded her to stay put.
She nodded.
He stood and walked out of the trees.
“So how’ve you been Ash?” said a man as he emerged from around a corner.
“Master Kakashi!?” said Ash.
The three kids turned around and looked at Kakashi.
“What you know him?” said the girl.
“He’s an old student of mine.”
He walked over.
“Let me introduce you all. Oh and by the way you can come out too young lady.”
Ash nodded to Ryu again and she stood and came out of the trees.
“This is Naruto.” He said as he pointed to the blonde boy.
“Nice to meet you.”
Then pointing to the pink-haired girl and finally to the black haired boy, “This is Sakura and Sasuke.”
So they continued back to a house and then decided their next mission.
“I think the best would be to go with Ash to help him find Bryth and Exire.” said Kakashi.
“Alright when do we leave?” said Naruto.
“Tomorrow.”

The next day…
The six of them set off and continued towards a big city.
“So Kakashi how ya been?” said Ash.
“Fine, but Ash you never told us who this young lady is.”
“Huh? Oh! This is…”
“Ryu?!” said a voice from behind them.
They turned and saw brown-haired girl and a silver-haired boy coming towards them.
“Elie… and Haru too, it’s good to see you again!”
“We’ve been worried. You just disappeared then Exire did too.”
“Well…I went…”
“Who’s this?”
She stared at Ash and smiled.
“He’s kinda cute.”
Ryu laughed “I don’t think it would work Elie.”
“Why not he’s not your boyfriend, is he?”
“No, and I wouldn’t want him to be. Not that I don’t love him.”
“What do you…?”
“Because…” she continued “he’s my dad.”
“B-but that would mean…”
“Yeah he’s your dad too.”
Elie stared at Ash and started to cry.
“No way! I never thought I’d see him again.”
She ran over and hugged him.
“Oh and Ash, Haru’s your son too.” said Ryu.
“Oh great it’s my brothers and sisters all over again.” he laughed.
“Well…can we continue?” asked Kakashi.
“Let’s.”

That night they stopped to rest at the entrance of a large cave.
“We’ll rest here tonight.” said Kakashi.
“I’m gonna check out this cave.” said Ash.
“Ok we’ll be here.”
Ash went into the cave and continued through until he came to a large opening. There was a large stone sticking out of the ground. As Ash got closer he noticed it was a grave. The stone read:

Here Lies Sir Raiden,
The last of the Dragon Knights.
May he rest in peace.

“The Remnant of Dragons Lies Beneath”

“Poor guy. I wonder how he died.”
He stepped to the side of the grave and fell through the floor.
“Ouch… maybe like that.”
He looked around.
“Huh? What’s this?”
It was a very white round object.
“I guess I’ll take this with me, it might be worth something.”
As he got out of the hole the moonlight came through a hole in the roof. It hit the object and after a second the object cracked.
“What the…?”
The object began to split apart and out of it came a dragon.
“That must have been a dragon egg!”
He looked at the tombstone.
“’The Remnant of dragons lies beneath.’ It was saying a dragon egg was buried under it!”
He stared at the young dragon. His blue scales glittered in the moonlight.
“What should I call you, how about Raiden?”
I like that.
“Y-you talked?!”
In a sense. We are able to talk to each other using our minds. But only we may do this.
“So I guess this makes me a Dragon Knight.”
They are also called Dragoons.
“Let’s head back to my friends.”
He headed out of the cave with the wyvern flying next to him. Sakura saw Raiden first.
“A-ash there’s s-something next to you!”
He laughed “It’s ok, this is Raiden. He’s a dragon.”
“So another dragon knight has come.” Kakashi said.
“Dragon Knight?” asked Ryu.
“The Dragon Knights were warriors known for their partnership with the dragons.” he explained. “The dragon chooses its partner and fights alongside them for as long as the human lives.”
These are respectable friends you have.
Ash smiled.
“So…what’s for dinner?”

Back in past…
“How come Ash gets to do everything around here?”
“Inuyasha nobody’s keeping you from going back into the past. We just came for you to heal more.”
“Well then, get Shippo and let’s go back.”
And they did just that.
“Well, well, looks like Naraku’s been having fun…”
As they got out of the well hoards of demons were in front of them.
“How do we get past them?” asked Kagome.
“There’s too many of them.”
“Why not let me help.” said a boy behind them.
“Ugh…Miroku great. Get outta here, we don’t need your help.”
Just then a demon shot an arrow into Inuyasha’s chest.
“Inuyasha!”
“Yeah you sure don’t need my help.”
He uncovered his hand and shouted “Wind Tunnel!”
All the demons were sucked into his hand.
“Come on, let’s get you back home Inuyasha.” said Kagome.

During the night…
Elie and Haru decided to take a walk. During the walk a strange man appeared. He carried a large spear and shield.
“I’ve come for the girl.”
“Elie stay back.”
He pulled out his sword.
“If you want her you’ll have to go through me.”
“Heh, my pleasure, I shall fulfill Master Naraku’s wishes…”
They started to fight but he overpowered Haru. He stabbed him through the chest with the spear.
“No Haru!”
“Too bad I didn’t need him too eh girlie.”
He took the spear out of Haru and turned it around.
“Now will you co-operate?”
“Never!”
“You know, your little friend here isn’t fully dead…but I could change that.”
Elie looked down at Haru. While she was looking down the man hit her in the side of the head with the end of the spear.
“Heh very good.”
He picked up Elie and flung her over his shoulder.
“Oh my god, Haru!”
Ryu ran down to Haru.
“Who are you?! Let her go!”
Ash ran down after Ryu and stood in front of her.
“Ryu stay behind me.”
“How very fortunate. The girl is here. But who is this boy protecting her?”
He dropped Elie to the ground and got the spear ready.
“Boy who are you?”
“The name’s Ash.”
“Haha this is perfect!”
He put the spear away and stood Elie up and leaned her on his body.
“I’ll make a deal with you.”
“Go ahead I’m listening.”
“Well… I really wouldn’t call it a deal.”
He pulled a bow out from behind his back, strung it and shot the arrow into Ryu’s chest.
“Ryu!”
“Now you have three choices.”
He took a knife out of his pocket and held it up to Elie’s throat.
“One you can fight me and most likely kill me to save Elie but let Ryu die from the poisons on the arrow.”
He grinned.
“Two you can move even the slightest bit towards Ryu and have me slit your daughters’ throat thus having them both die.”
He knows I can’t do either of those.
“And finally let me have both girls thus letting both of them live… at least for now.”
“Fine... Just don’t hurt them.”

A little later…
The man took both of them.
“Ash we’ve healed Haru now all he needs is rest.” said Kakashi.
“Thanks…”
“Ash we can’t let that guy get away with this.” said Naruto.
“You think I am? I was waiting for Haru to be safe.”
“We’ll come with you.”
They followed the path the man took and found a type of tower.
“We can’t go any further at the moment.” said Sazuke.
“There’s a forcefield of some type.”
“Look!” said Sakura.
The man came out of the tower about a mile or two away. He seemed to just stand there but then summoned some type of portal.
“Come on let’s get closer.”
They proceeded closer until they could see the portal clearly.
“Where’d he go?” asked Naruto.
“He must have gone inside it.”
A few minutes later a body came out of the portal.
“I-It’s Krystal!” said Ash.
Next came Hitomi, and May.
“Come on we need to get in there!” said Naruto.

Back in the past…
Kagome was getting some medicine for Inuyasha. The man had already taken the four girls.
“All that’s left is Misty and Kasumi. If only we had information on that last one.”
Kagome came into the room.
“Ok this should… who are you?”
Then Misty came into the room.
“Hey Ka…”
Just then the man grabbed them both.
“Very lucky, Misty and Kasumi.”
“What!? But I’m not Kasumi.”
He threw them both through the portal. Then Kasumi came into the room.
“Did someone call me? Who…?”
The man grabbed her too.
“So you are Kasumi.” he said and he threw her into the portal.
“Perfect no opposition here.”
He was about to step into the portal when Miroku showed up.
“Kagome did you get the medicine yet?”
Inuyasha popped up next to him,
“I told you I don’t need any medicine!”
The man stepped through the portal.
“Hey come back!” said Miroku.
“Kagome? He must have taken her!”
Inuyasha jumped into the portal followed by Miroku and Shippo.

The next morning…
“Hey what’s going on over there?” said Sakura.
There were two boys fighting.
“What, is that all you guys do here?” Ash said, joking.
“Very funny.”
“I’m trying to lighten the mood to help us think of a way in there.”
One of the boys left.
“Hey Yoh… some people have been watching the fight.”
“Let’s go see them then.” he smiled.
They walked over.
“Hey my name’s Yoh and this is Anna.”
“Um…hi I’m Naruto.”
He introduced them all.
“So what are you guys up too?”
“Well…” he started.
Ash explained all that happened. “Well there’s gotta be some way in there.” said Yoh.
“Now one second. You said that he was just taking girls?” asked Anna.
“Well…yes.”
“Then who are those three?”
Ash turned around and smiled.
“It’s Inuyasha and Shippo too. I don’t know the third one.”
Over to Inuyasha……
“Inuyasha look!” said Shippo. “It’s Ash!”
“Well let’s go get him.”
They walked over to Ash.
“Hey Ash need some help?”
“There’s a forcefield. We can’t get in.”
“Really?”
He stuck Tetsusaiga through the forcefield.
“Well there isn’t one here.”
So they all went through the hole in the forcefield.
“So why are you here Inuyasha?”
“I should ask you the same thing.”
So they both explained all that happened.
“Well I think we should get started.”
