:) Another fun little writing activity that may be ff.net worthy after some further development: an Inu-Yasha-Stargate crossover. (Set VERY early in the Inu-Yasha series and somewhere before, during, or after the Stargate series.) Like with the last one I actually wrote a substantial amount on, sorry for the redundancies. (The Department of Redundancies Department made me do it!) And I didn't mean to make Teal'c seem so dense! Really! I like Teal'c! NO! Don't put me on the wrong end of the Jaffa Revenge stuff... please? Pretty please!? Hello? Can anyon-- *silence* *You are glad she finally shut up so you can go about reading.*



Inu-Yasha found himself in a furball, so to speak. Invisible hair tugged on his arms and legs, preventing him from moving.

"Ah..." cried Yura, "what a lovely fly I've caught. You're Inu-Yasha, aren't you?"

His eyes narrowed. "And you're Yura of..." He stopped in mid-epithet as his surroundings changed without warning. The young demon before him and the ball of hair behind her faded to another place like a bad scene change in some cheap scifi movie, but he wouldn't know that. All he knew was that another woman now leaned over him, preventing him from properly taking note of his surroundings. "...the hair?"

The woman had short, blonde hair and a strange face. She said over her shoulder, "Colonel, he's coming to!"

His eyebrows furrowed as she backed away to be replaced by a middle-aged man with abnormally short hair. "Who are you?"

He looked away to see a row of beds in line with his that ended in ugly white drapery. "Why should I tell you?"

"Because," the stranger began, becoming a little frustrated, "you--"

"Jack," interrupted a third voice from behind him that the half-demon could not see. "He's probably confused. Obviously, he's not from around here."

"Then what can you get out of him, Danny?" Jack rebutted.

Danny came up on the half-demon's right, which was when he realized that his normal clothes were gone and replaced with thinner, white clothing. Unfortunately, he still wore that cursed necklace of prayer-beads.

Danny, like the other three that Inu-Yasha could now see, did not look right, something about how their eyes were shaped and how short they wore their hair. How distasteful! Anyhow, he spoke, pointing from himself around the room to the woman still standing on the half-demon's left. "I'm Dr. Daniel Jackson, that's Teal'c, he's Colonel Jack O'Neill, and she's Major Samantha Carter." He looked back to the figure on the hospital bed. "Who are you?"

"My name's Inu-Yasha."

Daniel frowned. "Sounds oriental."

"I wonder if he knows anything about Yu," said Major Carter.

The half-demon raised an eyebrow. "I've never met any of you before!"

Most of them smiled or even laughed--how dare they--while Teal'c only showed the faintest hint of a grin. "That's just like you when you heard about him, Colonel," Sam offered.

"You did it, too, when Jacob came before the System Lords' party," Jack reminded her.

Most of the smile dropped off her face. "It was a joke."

While they carried on, Inu-Yasha took the time to get familiar with his surroundings. He could see two exits: one directly across from his bed, where he could see two other uniformed humans, and one at the end of the room with shelving and supplies visible on the other side. He could not understand where the light was coming from; it was not from the sun or from fire or magic. But he had seen something similar once before at Kagome's house.

"--asha? Inu-Yasha? Are you all right?" Daniel asked.

"Of course I am!" he snapped.

Daniel frowned. "Well, Janet, the doctor, says that you're going to be fine, but she wants to keep you here overnight."

"Who are we to argue with the almighty doctor?" Jack inquired sarcastically.

"Fools," the half-demon muttered under his breath. The three men left, leaving Sam alone with him. She didn't say anything for a while, but just kept staring, not even looking into his eyes. "What's your problem?" Inu-Yasha finally asked.

She shook her head, as if trying to clear it after a bad dream. "Sorry. I just can't get over how weird your ears are."

He looked straight out the door again, exasperated. "Why does everyone seem to have an obsession with my ears?"

Sam shrugged. "They're different from everything we've seen. And they kind of remind me of my cat Schrodinger's ears."

"Dog ears," he said. At her baffled expression, he explained, "They should look more like dog ears."

She shrugged and smiled. "Okay. Janet says you should get some rest, so I'll leave." With that, she stood and walked out the exit, closing the metal door behind her.

Then he noticed that the air smelled extraordinarily clean. Yuck! He glanced around and smelled the air again, this time ignoring the sterile scent, to find that the room was lifeless. He jumped out of the bed, immediately noticing how drafty these human clothes were, and scouted around the infirmary until he found his clothes.

Once he had changed out of the abominable garments into something decent, literally, he checked the unguarded exit to find that it was only a closet. With only a tiny measure of reluctance, he incapacitated the two guards and followed the distinct trail of the tall, dark man--Teal'c--to a slightly larger room than the one he had been in before. This one held food of some sort, or at least that's what it looked like since many were eating it. But it didn't smell at all appetizing to the half-demon. (Except for the neon green stuff that wiggled, of course, and the soft, cold, creamy stuff and the...) Well, maybe some of it smelled appetizing.

Just then, an alarm went off, causing whirling red lights to glow and spin. Teal'c jumped up from his peaceful and rather large meal and began running towards the control room without thinking. Long before he could get there, however, when he had only gotten to the door, he slammed into Inu-Yasha and noticed that the half-demon was out of place.

***************************

Inu-Yasha paced back and forth in the cage. He had already tried to use his claws to escape, but not only had his claws not gone through the metal, which was no surprise, but two armed and annoyed guards had run in. So now he paced, not really doing much of anything until the metal door flew open to reveal a very unhappy Colonel O'Neill.

"You killed them?" he nearly yelled.

Inu-Yasha shrugged. "They were in my way."

"What are you, a Goa'uld?" His eyes narrowed slightly in suspicion.

He shrugged. "I'm a half-demon."

Jack's voice got loud again. "I knew it! You are a Goa'uld!" Then he took a look at the ears, and it was obvious that he reconsidered the statement.

"I don't know what you're talking about; just take me back to where I was."

The colonel rolled his eyes. "Like that's going to happen; we pulled you off of a Goa'uld mothership!"

"A what?" His brows furrowed again. What in all the hells was a mothership?

"You were on one of their ships and you don't know what a Goa'uld is?" Jack asked incredulously, moving closer to the bars that separated them.

Oh, so a mothership is some kind of boat... he thought. "I don't know what you're talking about."

Jack frowned and decided to back off a little for once. "So what's the last thing you remember?"

How much should I tell him? He obviously wouldn't know what I'm talking about. "I was fighting Yura with Kagome," he replied, deciding that if he told all, the stupid human would still be none the wiser.

Jack frowned. "You were fighting I'm a with gag on me?" he repeated, bringing forth a rather large grin from the half-demon. "Which is the Goa'uld?"
