R.D.D.G: Hello peoples I'm going to be attempting a crossover between Huntik and Inuyasha. And I'm in a good mood cause I'm posting the first yaoi story for the show and that makes me happy ^-^. I own nothing in this fic, they belong to their original owners, so no suing is permitted thank you. The pairing is going to be KogaxInu, and DantexLok. It's going to take place before Dante or Lok retrieve the legendary titans of Body and Spirit, and before THE VAMPIRE LOSES ITS FANGS, why cause Klaus is still going to be an ass. (Though they'll already know about Zhalia's past) oh yeah and since this is a yaoi, if you don't like it, please for the love of all things sacred, don't read it, and certainly do not flame it. I hope you enjoy it ^-^
Cherit, Lok, and Dante walked around the minator's labyrinth in search of the amulet containing the titan, Mina-tore. Sophie and Zhalia were at a foundation owned library trying to research all they could about the titan.
Dante led the way with the Holotome activated and displaying a map of the area. Lok followed closely with Cherit hitching a ride on his shoulders. The area looked spooky, and Lok almost expected the minatory to pop out at any second to destroy them. There was a thick layer of fog around the labyrinth which didn't help Lok's uneasiness much either.
Looking around Lok moved closer to Dante, "um…Dante…"
Dante stopped and looked at the young seeker beside him. "What is it Lok? You notice something?"
"No…but um…are we going the right way?" Lok asked.
"We should be." Dante said moving so the younger boy could see the holotome as well. "Judging by the map the holotome created we should be on the right trail…why do you ask?"
"I don't know." Lok answered truthfully. "This place just gives me the creeps. It seems like something's going to jump out at you at any moment."
Dante nodded in understanding. "Yeah, it does seem that way." He agreed. "But we should keep going, the sooner we get the titan the sooner we can leave."
"Okay…" With that the three (mainly two) continued forward. Lok and Cherit keeping an eye out for anything suspicious, particularly if they belong to the organization. With this fog, they could get the jump on them easily.
They walked for about ten minutes before Lok heard a rock move behind them. Stopping Lok turned to look behind him. Cherit moving so that way he could gaze over the blonde's head. "Did you hear that, Cherit?" Lok asked as his blue eyes scanning the terrain warily.
"Aye that I did." The little titan agreed. "Do you think it was a small creature?"
"I don't know, but let's tell Dante." The little titan on his head nodded in agreement, and Lok quickly walked back over to where Dante was; which was at a fork in the road. "Dante, I think something's following us." Lok reported as soon as he caught up with his mentor. Dante nodded as he closed the holotome.
"Follow me," the older seeker ordered. "And stay silent." Lok nodded as did what Dante instructed. As silent as they could they made their way through more winding passages ways. After another five minutes, Lok noticed a shadow move in the corner of his eye. Stopping Lok studied the fog before him; he knew he saw something move. It was too big to be a small creature like Cherit had suggested.
Once more he saw the shadow move, and noticed that it was moving towards Dante, who was studying the wall. What the…? Lok wondered as he studied the shadow in front of him. It looked to be a person of some sort, Zhalia? Then why the heck was she sticking to the fog? Sophie? Same question… Lok then noticed the shadow pick up a thick tube like thing, which reminded the young seeker of a blow-gun, even more so when the shadow aimed it at Dante Vale!
Lok cursed as he rushed over to Dante who was 14 yards ahead of him, since he slowed down to watch for any Suits. He knew he wasn't going to be able to make it in time…but there had to be something he could do. Thinking quickly Lok shouted out Dante's name before adding, "Hyperstride!" hoping to make it to the older seeker's aide in time. Noticing the younger Seeker hurrying towards Dante, the shadow yelled, "Touchram!" in the same direction he sent the dart not only a second ago.
As Dante turned around Lok had already pushed him out of the way, thanks to using Hyperstride, and took the dart, and spell in the side of his chest. Both Lok and Dante hit the ground, and Cherit saw the shadow run off, more than likely to find the rest to his/her team.
Cherit flew around the two a worried look on the little titan's face. "Oh my! Are you two all right?" he asked worriedly.
"I'm fine," Dante said sitting up, while rubbing the back of his head. Then quickly looked over to Lok who hadn't moved since the dart, and spell hit him. "Lok!" Dante moved over to Lok and gently picked him up, looking him over for any injuries. Only finding the dart in the right side of the boy's chest. Being as gentle as he could, Dante pulled out the now empty dart and studied it for a moment. It looked familiar but he couldn't place where he had seen it…maybe Guggenheim would know…either him or Zhalia and Sophie.
"Is he all right?" Cherit asked as he gently landed on Dante's shoulder.
"I think so." Dante said. "We need to move. If there's one suit then there are more than likely more."
"Aye, but should we not wake Lok? It would be easier than carrying him, I say."
Dante nodded in agreement, before looking at the teen in his arms. "Lok," Dante said as he gently shook the boy. After a moment of shaking, said teen slowly opened his eyes.
"Dante…?"
"How are you feeling?" Dante asked in concern; he was still trying to figure out what was in that dart.
"Groggy, sore, sleepy…" Lok replied as he moved to stand up, and managed to do so with Dante's help.
"Hang on to me, all right?" Dante said moving Lok's right arm so that it was around his shoulders, while Dante's arm wrapped around his waist in order to keep him steady. "We need to keep moving, there maybe more suits."
Lok nodded as the two began to walk once more through the fog. None of them talking for fear of alerting any Suits to their location. Lok was obviously in no shape to fight, and that just left Dante. And one thing both of them knew about suits, they always traveled in large numbers. Annoyingly enough.
The two walked for a while longer, no sign of suits or the organization to be seen. The suit may have been a scout or something. Finally they entered a large chamber, more than likely where the king may have kept the titan, when it wasn't in use. Wary for any traps the ancient king might have set the three began to search the room.
After ten minutes of searching Dante and Lok began to think that the titan wasn't there any longer, until they heard Cherit yell out, "Hey I think I may have found something!" while still supporting Lok Dante walked over to Cherit who held a bag in his hand. Using his left hand, Lok reached into the bag and suddenly his body turned into a bluish-green color, reaching out he held a dark brown amulet in his hand. "Good work, Cherit." Lok said smiling at his best friend as the titan sat down on his shoulders. Beaming Lok looked over at Dante. "Mission accomplished."
Dante smiled in return. "Yup, mission accomplished. Now let's go back I have a hunch the girls are starting to get worried." The two nodded and they began to walk back through the maze with titan in tow.
As they walked throughout the maze, Lok's head began to feel light, and his chest began to hurt; and when the hell did it get so hot? Cherit noticed that the young seeker wasn't feeling well and poked Dante in the head to get his attention. "I think we might want to rest for a bit." The young titan said motioning to Lok, "the lad doesn't look so well."
Dante nodded and he gently moved Lok so that he was sitting propped against a wall before placing his hand against the younger's forehead. Cursing as he felt heat radiating off of the pale skin. Pulling out his water bottle, he opened it and handed it to Lok. "Here, Lok, drink this." He said. Lok nodded before taking the bottle weakly into his hands, and moved to drink it, nearly succeeding in choking via water as he drank too fast. "Drink it slowly, Lok." Dante said gently as he took the bottle from his hands, but then noticed that the boy had fallen asleep.
Sighing, Dante pulled out the Holotome and activated the map. They needed to get out of here, and quickly. But Dante didn't want to run into any suits, trouble always has a tendency to find them as soon as they thought they were in the clear. "Holotome, scan for any signs of the organization." Dante commanded as he studied the map carefully, since he couldn't hold the activated holotome and carry Lok as well.
"Scanning… … No sign of organization members." The holotome beeped.
Dante sighed in relief. That was at least some good news. "Call Zhalia and Sophie." He ordered.
"Calling… …" then Zhalia and Sophie's faces appeared on a hologram screen.
"Dante how was the mission?" Zhalia asked.
"It was a success," Dante answered, "Lok bonded with the titan, we're on our way out of the maze…but…"
Now Sophie decided to speak. "So where is Lok? Trying out his new Titan?"
"Not exactly." Dante answered. "On our way to the chamber there was a suit hidden amidst the fog. It fired a blow dart at me, but Lok noticed it and pushed me out of the way taking the dart himself, as well as a touchram spell. He was groggy after me and Cherit woke him up…but we managed to get to the chamber well enough…" Dante looked towards the sleeping boy beside him. "Now he's out like a light. Whatever was in that dart is starting to take more of an effect."
Zhalia now started to look worried. "What kind of dart was it?" she asked. Dante pulled the dart out of his pocket and showed it to the two female seekers, and noticed Zhalia pale slightly.
"What is it Zhalia?" Dante asked. If she was paling then it wasn't going to be good for the young Lambert beside him.
"Get him back here and soon." Zhalia ordered. "I'll explain it when you get back."
Dante nodded. "All right, I'll see you guys soon." With that he ended the call and placed the holotome back into his pocket, before moving to pick up the young teen. "Com'on Cherit we've got to keep moving."
"Aye." Cherit agreed as he moved so Dante could pick up the teen and place him on his back. With that the titan and the seeker began to walk through the maze once more. It didn't take much longer before they reached the exit, luckily enough without an ambush from suits. As they exited the maze a blinding ray of sunlight blinded both Cherit and Dante to the point they had to cover their eyes. It was so much darker within the maze.
Once their eyes adjusted to the light, along with Dante putting on his shades. They noticed Zhalia and Sophie waiting with a boat to take them off of the island. Cherit flew happily over to the boat and landed on one of the couches in the back. Glad to be rid of that maze. Following the small titan, Dante jumped onto the boat, and placed Lok on some couches that were hidden in the shade of the "roof" that stood above the driver's seat. It wouldn't help his temperature any if he was lying in the sun.
Zhalia was the one driving the boat while Sophie acted as the co-driver. Looking back at them via the rear view mirror, Zhalia asked, "How is he doing?"
"He's developed a high fever." Dante answered, then looked up at Zhalia. "Do you want to start explaining now?"
"Not out in the open." Zhalia answered. "Once the transformation's complete, the Organization will be scouring the world for him. We need to get to a safe house and call for some help."
What Zhalia said made everyone's eyebrows raise. "Transformation?" Dante asked.
"yes." Was the only answer that the female seeker would give. For fear of the Organization overhearing them.
After twenty minutes the Huntik gang walked into the safe house they were using for this mission. Placing Lok on a couch, Dante looked at Zhalia. "Now do you want to start explaining?" he asked, hoping this time to get some answers.
"You know how there are free titans known as the Daemon, right?" Zhalia asked, which made Dante raise an eyebrow.
"Of course, there are some of their Seekers working for the Foundation." He answered. "I've met a couple of them."
"Well while I grew up, Klaus has been developing a serum to change humans into half-breed Daemons." Zhalia said, "I'm sure you also remember Guggenheim warning all Huntik operatives about it."
Dante nodded, but Sophie cut in. "Yes that's all very interesting, but what does this have to do with the dart that got Lok?"
"I'm getting there." Zhalia said in an annoyed tone, Dante seemed to place the pieces together.
"Is he…?" he asked.
"There's only one way to find out." Zhalia answered. "The dart you showed us looked different than the one Klaus showed me as a kid, but it still holds some of the unique properties that the original had." She opened the holotome. "Holotome, scan for any free titans in this room." She ordered.
"Scanning… …" the Holotome beeped. "Cherit; strength-3, defense-4, type- free titan, size- small, special abilities- beams and charging (I don't know his actual stats so leave me be)…" the holotome beeped again. "Lok Lambert; strength-5, defense-5, type- inu daemon, size- average, special abilities- unknown…"
Dante cursed as he leaned against the side of the couch. A feeling of guilt making its way into his gut. If he had been paying attention, Lok wouldn't have pushed him out of the way and gotten that dart stuck into him.
"Well that answers that." Zhalia said solemnly. "We need to call Guggenheim. He has some contacts within the Daemon. He could call someone to help Lok with the transformation."
Dante and Cherit nodded while Sophie shook her head, since she was confused as hell. "Hold on a second, are you telling us that Lok is turning into a type of free titan known as daemon? That's absurd, how is that even remotely possible?!"
"Klaus is a twisted bastard." Zhalia answered. "You already saw the proof for yourself, Sophie, he's turning and there's nothing we can do to stop it."
"So the organization will be hunting him down to try and force him into an amulet…" Dante muttered as he looked over to the sleeping teen on the couch. Zhalia nodded, before calling Guggenheim.
"Guggenheim here," Guggenheim answered via the TV. "Ah, Dante, Zhalia, Sophie…what can I do for you? Was your mission successful?"
"Quite." Dante answered. "Lok, here, bonded with Mina-tore…but that's not why we called."
"What seems to be the problem?" Guggenheim asked.
Quickly Dante explained what happened in the maze, showing the dart as well, Zhalia cutting in occasionally to say some of what she knows.
"Are you certain?!" Guggenheim asked in shock.
"The holotome confirmed it." Zhalia answered. "He's turning into an inu daemon. Do you know any?"
Guggenheim stroked his chin in thought. "I know the eldest son of Inutaisho, who was a Huntik operative before the incident. I can call him." He said after a moment.
"Please?" Dante asked.
"I'll give him a call, and I'll call you back with his answer." Guggenheim answered.
Making the four smile. "Thank you, Guggenheim." Zhalia said and the connection was cut off.
"Now we wait?" Sophie asked. Zhalia nodded.
"Now we wait." She confirmed.
R.D.D.G: okay there's chapter one. I hope you guys like it. I've been bored over the summer and I want school or at the very least Senior pictures to show up so that way I have something to do. Oh and if any of the characters seem a bit OC, I'm sorry 'bout that. It's kind of needed…occasionally.
Daemon- is the proper name for Demons. They were originally called Free Titans, but they didn't wish to be called that so they went with Daemon. The only reason they respond to the term Demon is because the mortals call them that based on their mythology. And a lot of daemons don't like the term so they ignore it half the time. Cherit would not be considered a Daemon, and the reason why will be explained later in the story.
