Hello readers, this is your author speaking. I'm proud to announce I shall not procrastinate...I think ((of course I wrote this story, intending to post it years ago...and just got around to it...)) All I ask is that you review...and as the story unfolds I encourage theories and suggestions so I may better please the reader. ((You should be glad I procrastin-waited so long to post cause a few years ago I would have just said 'up yours' and not made many friends.))

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or Kingdom Hearts.

Enjoy

She looked up from the cobbled path her head had previously made the most uncomfortable pillow out of. There where street lamps and plenty of shops, all written in English. She could barely make out what they said, having spent all her high school days five hundred years in the past. She knew the letters, and she knew the pronunciation, but when it came to the meaning, she was utterly lost. Thankfully, there are some words that, even in English, they sound Japanese. It wasn't too hard to locate the hotel across the square.

She didn't get too far before the Shikon Jewel began to pulse alarming the girl considerably. Her hand shot to her heart, where the pulsing seemed to be originating. So that was where it had disappeared to. When she was engulfed in all the darkness, before she passed out and woke up to find herself in this place, all she saw was the jewel. It was then she realized that Kikyo was wrong, even the purest wishes couldn't get rid of the damn thing. Or perhaps her wish wasn't pure enough? Either way, the jewel resided in her heart now, and it was warning her of danger, something she should attend to immediately. She looked about the unfamiliar terrain, wildly searching for a sign of her invisible enemy. Her priestess powers where telling her this presence was obviously evil, but void of anything else. There was no aura, only that of darkness, like a shadow. Could this be Naraku's doing? No. Naraku was dead. She knew that for a fact. This was worse. Much worse. Seeing as how she had little choice, she readied herself for battle. She fell into a stance she had seen Inuyasha use many times before and hoped that in the first attack, intimidation, she would win. The raven beauty cleaned her face of all expressions, just like Inuyasha's brother, Sesshoumaru, and summoned both her courage and what could be salvaged of her powers. The ordeal leading her to this place had apparently taken more out of her than what she was used to. Something twitched in the shadows out of the corner of her eye. Her head swiveled in that direction, but all lay still. The dark pressed her to a light. The small halo engulfed her in its protective circle. She should have felt comforted, but it was all for not. First a foot appeared, then a torso. The body was all black, but not in a void of color way. It was more of a void of light. Finally the head emerged from the night beyond.
She thought she was going to laugh. This shrew of an enemy came only to her waist, and looked so feeble it could drop dead any second. With a flick of the wrist the little creature was purified to oblivion. This was what the jewel had urgently alerted her to? No. It still pulsed. Behind her. A noise? A cackle of sorts. Another of the small creatures broke through her ring of electrically generated protection. Then another. There were hundreds of them, all gathered behind her, well, now in front. She gave a nervous laugh, making a miniscule, sarcastic remark before turning round and running for dear life. There wasn't enough power to kill those things, so it was best put to helping her escape.

Don't worry, I only ended it here cause it seemed like a good ending to the chapter ((yes a good place to end a chapter is at the end of a chapter, I know, I'm no idiot. To clarify, I meant that where I originally intended to end it was less cliff-hanger, more abrupt end)) It's a good thing most people never read what the author truly has to say or I would feel like a rambling idiot, which seems to be the case.
