I've just been full of new ideas for fics lately; here goes the first chapter of my first Bleach Inuyasha crossover.

Kagome lay on her bed, her face buried in her arms and pillow. Her door was cracked slightly and concerned brown eyes peered in at her.
It had been a week since Kagome had come back through the well. She had been scraped up and tears were filling her eyes. In her hand she clutched a small pink jewel that had sparkled unnaturally in the dark well shrine. That same jewel now lay on her desk as she mourned for her friends, not having moved since her mother helped her get to her bed that week ago.
Her friends had come over several times since she had gotten back but her mother had told them that Kagome was not feeling well and that she was sleeping whenever they came over. Not exactly a lie, but the reasons were not for the cold that she told them she had, but a broken heart.
Mrs. Higurashi had been checking in on her daughter regularly and made sure that she at least tried to eat, but this was wearing on her. She was completely unable to help her daughter and felt horrible for her helplessness. Closing the door with a soft sigh she goes to the phone in the hall and picks it up.

A phone in a semi traditional Japanese home rings in a hall. A young girl picks it up with a soft click. "Hello Urahara-ha, how can I help you."
"Is Urahara there, this is Kasumi Higurashi."
"Yes, I'll get him right away." She lightly sets the phone down and walks hurriedly down the hall in search of her difficult boss. She finds him in a back room lounging about, pretending to sleep. "Urahara-sama, you have a phone call." She stands there waiting for the man to answer her. After a while with no response she withholds a sigh and speaks up again, "Its a woman named Kasumi Higurashi."
The man falls from his lounging position, which was hard to do since he was already nearly laying on the floor. The girl in the door to the room looks at him curiously as he gets to his feet and hurries to the phone muttering about not wanting to piss her off by keeping her waiting, he seemed almost afraid of that outcome.
"Ah, moshi moshi Kasumi-chan."
"Urahara, what took you so long?"
"Ah, sorry about that..."
"You weren't napping in one of your backrooms again were you? Urahara, you need to be more responsible and not be so lazy."
"Mah mah, I'll try to from now on."
There was silence for a moment before Urahara spoke again.
"Kasumi-chan, why are you calling though? Not that I'm not glad to hear from you, its just you haven't called for a while and the last time you did was when Kagome went missing a little more than a year ago..."
He heard her sigh on the other end of the line. "Well it's about Kagome. When she went missing we found her a few days later at the bottom of the well." She continued to tell him what had happened to Kagome and about her adventures in the feudal era. "She came back for good last week, The well is sealed and the jewel is complete, but having been torn from her friends so suddenly... She hasn't been taking it well. I don't think staying here at the shrine is helping any either."
Urahara suddenly realizes what she is hinting at and starts to object. "I know what you are thinking Kasumi-chan and you know that she can't, it's too dangerous. If someone were to find out..."
"I know, but I'm sure Kagome can handle herself. She did very well in the feudal era with her friends. Besides, both her and the jewel are letting off massive amounts of reiki, I'm worried about her Urahara."
Knowing he can't argue with her he lets out a sigh, "Alright, I'll make the arrangements here for her. When do you think she will be able to get here?"
"I can have her ready by the end of the week. I know how fast you can get the paperwork for her transfer done." He could almost hear the smile he knew must be on her face now.
"I'll be there to pick her up at the train station this Saturday then."

Mrs. Higurashi hung up the phone with a smile on her face, though her eyes were still sad. She now had to go and bring her daughter out of the state she had been in for the last week, if only enough so that she would be able to go to one of the few places she could think of that would be able to help her.
"Kagome?" She slowly opens the door and steps in. Kagome shifts slightly on her bed. "Kagome, you need to get up."
"No."
"Kagome, you knew this was a possibility. Your friends wouldn't have wanted you to be like this. They would have wanted you to be happy."
Kagome sniffles, but continues to keep her face buried in her pillow, "I know mom, its just... This place holds so many memories, so many memories of them and everything we've done..."
Mrs. Higurashi sits beside her on the bed and places a soothing hand on her back. "I know. I called your father this afternoon. He said it would be alright for you to come and stay with him, at least until you finish high school."
Kagome sits up a bit and looks at her mother with confusion, "Dad? But I thought he left us and didn't care..." A look from her mom shut her up.
"I don't know where you got that idea. I know that he may have had to leave suddenly and hasn't been able to contact us, but that doesn't mean he doesn't care about us. Kagome he loves us, you, very much. Trust me when I say that he left for a very good reason."
"What reason could cause a man to leave his family?" She looks at her mother with wide eyes.
"I think that that is a question you should ask him. Just be prepared for anything, alright dear?"
Skeptical Kagome nods. "Alright mom."
"Good, now I need to go and call your school. You'll be leaving this Saturday for Karakura."
