From: Carolina Palma To: RK Fanfic Mailing List Subject: [kff] Icka's Battle Date: Wednesday, May 10, 2000 1:56 PM Icka wrote this one for the Inu-yasha mailing list, which she is on. I figured since it's half Kenshin, people would injoy it on this list. So injoy... Author: Icka! M. Chif Title: Fic-that-needs-a-better-name-but-is-tentatively-called-Battle Type: Cross-over Kagome studied her opponent carefully, then selected her first choice. Across the strangely marked field, her pony-tailed opponent did the same. This was going to be a tough battle, both Kagome and Karou were the best at what they did. The moment stretched into in an eternity as they stared each other down. Then, almost as one, they pulled out an object from behind their backs and threw them on the field. "Inuyasha! I choose you!" "Go Oro!" Twin bright lights blinded them for a second. When it faded, a snarling half youkai and a red-haired rurouni stood in the middle of the field. The red-haired man blinked, looking disoriented. "Oroo?" Inuyasha lunged forward, fore going insults for the moment to try to get a quick victory. Instantly, Rurouni Kenshin snapped to attention, dodging the larger youkai's blow. The two sparred for a moment, then jumped clear, sizing each other up. "Inuyasha! Steel Claving Fang!" Kagome called from the sidelines. Inuyasha nodded, drawing the enchanted sword and transforming it. "Kenshin! Reverse sword!" Karou shouted. Kenshin also pulled out his sword, holding it in a defensive position, watching Inuyasha guardedly. The half-youkai smirked. "My sword is bigger than your sword." Kenshin blinked, taken back for a second. "Oro?" Karou stamped her foot impatiently. "It's not the size that counts!" She shouted, "It's how you use it!" Sano, just entering the stadium from the sidelines, sweatdropped remembering the huge sword he used to carry around. "Good one Jo-Chan." He called, taking his seat in the second row as Karou turned red. "That a way to cheer him on." Kenshin glanced back nervously for a split second, turning slightly pink. Inuyasha noticed. "Bossy female?" He remarked conversationally. "She means well." Kenshin shrugged. Inuyasha snorted. "Don't they all?" He paused for a second, then added "Wanna trade?" Kenshin tilted his head slightly, a slightly puzzled look on his face. "Temporarily." Inuyasha added. "You take my place and I take yours. Just take good care of Kagome. I need her to find the shards." "And you'll guard Karou-dono?" "Yeah." Inuyasha glanced down at his necklace. "She doesn't say 'sit' a lot, does she?" "No. But she may chase you around the dojo with a shinnai." "I think I can handle that." "Just don't hurt her." Kenshin warned, the threat of steel in his voice. Inuyasha merely snorted as if hurting a mortal female was beneath his dignity. Kenshin nodded, accepting this. They both calmly stepped to the side and walked over to the opposite side of where they had started. "What are you *doing*?" Karou shouted. "Trading." Kenshin said calmly, taking his place next to Kagome. Kagome stared at him with wide eyes. "Is that even legal?" All eyes turned to the nameless, faceless and really unimportant referee. "No. This match is declared a draw." It declared. Inuyasha and Kenshin looked pleased by this as they sheathed their swords. "Good. The Steel Claving Fang won't work on yiffin' humans anyway." Inuyasha remarked. On the other side of the field, Kagome slapped her head, having forgotten the fact. "Would the non-battling contestants please leave the field?" The referee called. Kenshin and Inuyasha shrugged and wandered off. "Never mind then. Know any places to eat around here?" Kenshin asked, heading for the exit. "No." Inuyasha admitted as the two disappeared from site, presumably to find dinner. Kagome and Karou watched them leave in surprise. "Next round." The ref called, drawing their attention away from the men. Karou pulled out another pokeball. "Yahiko-chan! I choose you!" Kagome pulled out a second pokeball and threw it. "Go Shippou-Chan!" Yahiko appeared, steam coming out of his ears. "DON'T CALL ME 'CHAN'!!!" Shippou popped out of the pokeball and landed at Yahiko's feet. He looked up at the angry boy and swallowed. He could just tell this was going to be painful. "Uh-oh." It was the wrong move to make, for it caught the attention of one pissed-off Yahiko-chan. "Kiaaa!" "Ahhhh!" Shippou did what usually worked when Inuyasha was mad at him. He turned and ran. Yahiko stared after him for a second, not expecting that reaction. "Get back here!" He roared, taking chase after the small kitsune. Shippou had enough sense to ignore Yahiko's shouts and keep running. Right up into the stands and over Sano's lap. "Hey!" Sano let out a string of explicative that would have surprised Inuyasha if he had been in hearing distance. He was more than ready when Yahiko tried to do the same trick. Sano grabbed Yahiko's collar and threw him at Shippou. The kitsune dodged the flying stick boy easily, but then found himself trapped at the end of the stands. "Gotcha now!" Yahiko cheered advancing. "Shippou! Use the leaf!" Kagome called, watching worriedly. Shippou pulled a leaf out of his shirt and put it on his head. There was a small 'poof', then a 7 foot tall purple and green dinosaur stood there, giggling. Yahiko wasn't sure what it was, but it sure looked evil. He retreated a few steps as the creature advanced on him, giggling merrily. Finally, he just turned and ran, running over Sano's legs in the process. "Yaah!" The big purple thing followed, somehow managing to put it's feet exactly where Yahiko's feet had gotten Sano. Sano cursed, tucking his legs under the bleacher seats. "Yahiko-chan! Use your shinnai!" Karou shouted, catching the running battler's attention. Yahiko saw red. "Die! Kyaaaaa!" He turned, bringing the shinnai down on the shapechanger's head. Pop! The tiny kitsune re-appeared, a bump on his head. "Hey! That hurts ya know!" He grumbled, rubbing the sore spot. Yahiko looked at him like that was the most idiotic thing he'd ever heard. It was a shinnai. It was *supposed* to hurt! "Oops." Once again, Shippou realised he'd made the fatal error of gaining the angry boy's attention. "Yaaaah!!!" He ran past Yahiko, down the bleachers and back over Sano's lap. "Uph!" Sano re-sumed his cursing. When Yahiko moved to follow Shippou's footsteps, he decided enough was enough and moved to get out of the way. Right on to the battlefield. "Sano! What the heck are you doing?" Karou yelled at the chicken head. "Safest place to be!" He hollered back, waving. "Nothing happens here!" Karou stamped her foot angrily, and started to call Sano names he'd never even thought of before. All things considered, it was a good thing Kenshin wasn't there, or he'd probably turned as red as his hair. Kagome decided to use the distraction. "Shippou-Chan! Turn into something else!" "Right!" Out came another leaf from Shippou's shirt. *Poof!* Yahiko came to a screeching halt. "Nani?" Shippou-Chan blinked his big blue eyes at the boy. "Jiggly?" Out on the battlefield, Kagome sweatdropped as Yahiko started laughing. Shippou glared at Yahiko as the boy doubled over laughing. "Puff!" He pulled a marker out from behind his back and pulled off the top. "Puff-puff!" In an eye-blink, Shippou-Jigglypuff was in Yahiko's face, the marker moving in a blur. The boy didn't even have time to react before Shippou finished and jumped down. Yahiko looked like a circus clown. A sad clown at that, complete with large tear under one eye. Now it was Shippou's turn to double over laughing. Which he did. Until Yahiko raised his shinnai again. "Eep!" Shippou-Jigglypuff dove between Yahiko's legs and began trotting off as fast as his small balloony body could go. Which really wasn't all that fast. "You look like an idiot!" Yahiko shouted, chasing after. Shippou-Jigglypuff made some obscene gestures with his flipper-like arms at Yahiko. "What?!" Yahiko barked, then burst out laughing. "Say that to my face ya little twerp!" His only response was a loud raspberry, followed by Shippou laughing. "Come back here!" Yahiko called, a hug grin on his face. "Jiggly puff! Jiggly puff! Jiggly jiggly jiggly puff!" Shippou sang, bouncing out of eyesight, Yahiko still chasing him. Moments later, they re-appeared, a giggling Yahiko being chased by a banana with legs and some really ugly nightclothes. As they watched, the Kitsune-Banana tagged Yahiko and took off running out of the eyesight again, Yahiko chasing him. Their battle had turned into a bizarre game of tag. All eyes turned to the faceless referee. The ref scratched its head. "Draw?" Karou and Kagome shrugged. Made sense. The ref added, "Your champions really are very poorly trained." The girls battle auras flared, scaring the referee. "Um, next round?" It squeaked. "Miroku-sama! I choose you!" Kagome threw her final pokeball out on to the field. It bounced a few times, then the monk popped out in a blaze of light. Karou pointed. "Chicken head! I choose you!" Sano turned and stared at her with wide eyes. "WHAT?!" Karou put her hands on her hips. "Well, you're already on the field, aren't you?" "Humph." Sano crossed his arms. "I ain't being bossed around by no little missy, thank you." Karou's eyebrow twitched. "You wanna eat tonight or not?" "Who's cooking?" "Kenshin." Sano popped his knuckles, looking at Miroku, who had been watching the scene with some amusement. "All right, Bouza. Lets get this over with. I got some ladies waitin' for me at the bar." Miroku calmly sized him up. "Feh. I could drink you under the table." "Come again?" Sano blinked, taken back. A monk was claiming he could drink an ex-gangster under the table?! "I could drink you under the table." Miroku slowly repeated. Sano sized him up for a moment. "You're on." Both nodded and walked out of the stadium, discussing the best ways to drink sake. The girls and the nameless referee watched them go in stunned silence. "Don't tell me." Kagome dead panned. "Draw?" The Nameless Referee scratched it's head and nodded. "I still say those have to be the worst trained champions I've ever seen." Both of the girls glared at him with murder in their eyes. "I got an idea how to solve this." Kagome said, raising her right fist and resting it in her left hand like she had just gotten an idea. Karou nodded and they both approached the ref. Both of them held out their left hands and slapped the side of their right fist into their left. In unison, they chanted "Jun... Ken... POW!" Kagome leaned back, a foot sliding out behind the ref as Karou turned and slapped it. The ref fell backwards. "Never insult our guys." Karou informed it bluntly, as Kagome crossed her arms and glared at it. The ref just stared at them in shock. No one had ever done that before! The girls turned around and companionably began to walk out of the stadium. "Fishbone?" Kagome puzzled. "Think he uses it to comb his hair." Karou sighed. "You can't get him to get rid of it." "Ah." Kagome nodded. "So where do you think they're at?" "Eating, most likely." Karou grumbled. Wasn't her fault she wasn't a very good cook. At least she tried. "Ah." Kagome nodded. That made sense. She smiled. "What are you planning to do to them?" Karou paused, thinking it over. "Think I'll go pick up some miso, some rice and some soy sauce. Trade us, indeed." "Aren't those extremely heavy?" "Well..." Kagome's smile grew into a grin. "Need help?" Karou grinned at the girl, mischief sparkling in her eyes. "Sure." Both girls giggled. This was not good for the men folk. "Question." Karou asked after a minute. "Those were youkai, weren't they?" "Half youkai, kitsune and human." Kagome nodded. Karou frowned. "How-?" Kagome sighed. "It's a long story..." "We got time." Karou grinned as they walked out of the stadium. The ref sat up, rubbing his head as he watched them go. Finally, the insanity was over- One of the stadium walls exploded, Sesshou-maru flying through. He landed in the middle of the stadium, growling at a figure in the distance. Saitou stepped through. "Aku Soku Zan!" He shouted, attacking the dog youkai. "Dokkasou!!" Sesshou-maru attacked back, the two of them crashing through the other side of the stadium, leaving a huge melted gaping hole in it. The ref stared at the hole for a second, then turned and let out a long suffering sigh. "I gotta get a new job..." Fin! Notes: Aku Soku Zan: "Sin Swift Slay" or "Kill Evil Instantly" Dokkasou: Is Fluffly's attack where he melts stuff with his claws. What does Viz call it? (Aaahh!! Gotta get my Viz versions back!!!)
