Ray: Hey, I'm Ray and this is my first fan fiction. Saphira-chan showed me this site and now I love it. She's also going to help me a little. This is an original pairing…from Inuyasha and Yu Yu Hakusho! It's our little miko with our favorite perverted bandit.

Kagome: you mean I get Youko?

Ray: Yep! And there's a little surprise, chibi kitsune.

Chapter 1: Meeting

"Inuyasha, I'm going home whether you want me to or not!" yelled a frustrated teen.

"Oh, no you're not! We still have Shikon no Kakera to find and we need to kill Naraku!" argued a hanyou dressed in red.

"Sit, I need to go home. My cousin is coming over and I don't want to miss his visit! Sit, I'll be gone for three weeks and NO COMING TO GET ME, GOT IT?!" she warned to the crater. Muffled agreement and cursing reached her ears and she smiled.

"Oka-san, bring me back some ninja food, will you?" begged a hopeful kit.

Kagome smiled and picked up her surrogate son. "Sure Shippo but promise me you won't give Sango and Miroku a hard time."

"I promise but what about Inu-baka?" he said while looking towards the form of Inuyasha lying in the crater.

"Go ahead, love you Shippo," she said while giving him a kiss on his head.

"Love you, Oka-san," recited Shippo as he jumped out of his mother's embrace. Kagome said good bye to her other friends, picked up her bag, and set off towards the well. The group was heading back towards Kaede's so the well was close by. As she walked along the well-worn path, she thought about the remaining shards they had yet to find. They had somehow got Kohaku's shard without killing, much to her and Sango's relief. He was now residing in Kaede's village where he helped protect it from demons. Kaede was getting weak in her old age so she taught Kagome everything she knew so Kagome could take over the village if she wishes. Now there were only Kouga and Naraku to worry about. She knew Kouga would give them to her so she mentally scratched him off. Naraku had almost all the Shikon and they didn't even know where to find him! She sighed in frustration closed her eyes. She opened her eyes as she felt the aura of the well. It wrapped her in a warm embrace and she stopped for a moment to let it caress her. But her miko senses were tingling and Kagome discreetly got her bow and arrow ready while dropping her bag. She pointed the loaded bow in the opposite direction of which she was facing.

"Come on out, demon, I know you're there! And don't even try to scare me with petty threats, I'm a fully trained miko," she warned as she pulled the string taunt.

The sound of chuckling met her ears as a handsome kitsune dropped down from the tree. Kagome gasped at the kitsune. His silky silver hair ended at his waist while amused, molten gold eyes studied her. The white tunic her wore was baggy and barely showed the muscle that she knew was there. Two furry white appendages twitched at the top of his head while his tail lazily swished back and forth. Kagome's hands fidgeted at the sight of his tail but even more so at his ears. 'Must…not…twitch….ears!' was Kagome's mantra as she stared down the demon. She felt plain as she stood there stiffly. She must look weird to the demon as he gave her an once-over like she did him.

"What's a miko like you doing here this late in this forest?" came the sultry voice of the fox as he strutted up to her, ignoring the arrow.

Kagome's face enflamed as she heard his voice. But she also grew angry as she felt like he insulted her in some way. "I don't see why that should concern a demon like you but I'm returning to my home. Who are you?" she shot back while slowly lowering her bow. She sensed so malice coming from him so she didn't want to seem threatening.

The demon raised his eyebrow at this, but a smirk found its way onto his face. "I'm known as Youko Kurama, fair maiden. May I request the name of one such as your self?" he replied as he bowed and gave her hand a kiss. She blushed as he did so and smiled.

"My name's Kagome Higurashi. Would you mind to talk to me? I'm afraid many people here don't talk to me because I can befriend demons," she admitted while rubbing her neck.

"Very well then, I don't have many people to talk to because they're too scared to come near me." They sat in the shade of the trees as they chatted about their life. Youko told her about his stealing and his partner, Kuronue. She told him about where she lived and her boy-crazed friends. It was about sundown when they stopped talking.

"Well it's been a pleasure meeting you but I have to get home before my over-protective friend shows up," she replied while picking up her bag.

"The pleasure's mine but may I meet you again sometime?" he asked while giving her a begging look. She flashed him a smile that sent his heart soaring and she nodded yes. He smirked again and pulled a lavender rose from his hair. As he tucked it behind her ear, he said, "Until we meet again, Kagome." He stole a kiss before he pulled back and smiled. Kagome blushed from his forwardness. He jumped away, leaving her to her thoughts. She gently touched the soft purple petals of the rose. But naturally, Inuyasha just HAD to come and ruin the peace and quiet. He came barreling through the woods with Tetsusaiga drawn.

"I smell fox and it ain't Shippo," he said as he sniffed around the area and ended near Kagome's head. She blushed because she knew he could smell Youko on her. Inuyasha growled at the thought that someone had kissed HIS Kagome. 'Whoa, where did THAT come from? I have Kikyo, not Kagome,' he mentally berated his-self. Kagome just stood there staring at the ground while scuffing her shoe nervously.

"Kagome, who was here and WHY does he have his scent all over you?" he snarled as he put Tetsusaiga away.

She jerked her head up angrily. "Why should it concern you, Inuyasha? I'm not aloud to meet other guys without your permission?" she huffed. Inuyasha growled and snarled.

"In case you haven't noticed, you are MINE, got it? No one else owns you, especially the wimpy wolf," he barked out.

Kagome rubbed the bridge of her nose in impatience and anger. "Inuyasha," she said sweetly. "SIT, I DO NOT BELONG TO YOU! I can see who I want, when I want, and I want to go home to see my cousin. Bye, sit, and stay," she grounded out through gritted teeth. The plants used vines to lash Inuyasha down. Kagome shrugged off the plants' unusual behavior. It's been happening a lot lately. She jumped in the well to familiar blue and purple lights.

As the weightlessness disappeared, she got out of the well while momentarily sealing it so Inuyasha couldn't come to get her. She smiled at her handiwork and jogged towards the house. "Oka-san, I'm home!" she yelled as she took off her shoes. Kagome cocked her head, listening for signs of her family. 'Where are they, I wonder?' she thought as she went into the kitchen. A note on the counter caught her attention.

Dear Kagome,

Your brother, grandpa, and I decided to visit your aunt in Hokkaido for the summer. We will be back a week before school is back in. My credit card is in the 'special place' and there's some left-over oden in the fridge.

Love you,

Mom

'So they left me the house for almost the entire summer…YES!' Kagome mentally cheered as she raided the fridge for the oden. The phone rang after she took the oden out of the microwave.

"Moshi moshi, Kagome speaking," she said.

"Hello Kagome how's my favorite cousin?" answered a smooth voice.

"Shuichi! I'm fine, how about you?" she squealed into the phone.

"I'm fine but I have some bad news."

Kagome gasped and said, "No one's hurt, are they?"

A sigh was heard and he answered, "No one's hurt but I can't come over as planned."

"Why not, Shuichi? We've been planning this since the middle of the school year," she whined.

"My job has me doing something with my team-mates so I can't get out of it. I'm really sorry Kagome," he said with an apologetic tone.

"Its okay, Shuichi. I understand but you must come over sometime before school's back, all right?"

He chuckled and said, "Very well, I'll try. Talk to you later, Kagome."

"Bye Shuichi," she said before hanging the phone on the receiver. She pouted since she wanted him to see her before she left for the feudal age again. She went to the table where her forgotten oden stood cooling. She dug into it happily. All other thoughts went away as she slurped the noodles.

Ray: So how was it? I've already typed up the next chapter so it won't be long until it comes out. This is something Saphira-chan doesn't or won't do.

Saphira: (looks down guilty) IT'S NOT MY FAULT!! It's Inuyasha's fault. (Points in said hanyou's direction)

Inuyasha: how's it always MY fault?!

Sesshomaru: because, otouto, you're an idiot.

Inuyasha: come on, Sesshomaru-teme! (Battle ensues)

Saphira: why am I stuck with a cold twin and immature half-brother?

Ray: at least you don't have a perverted dad.
