Author's Info: This one is a bit different from my other stories. I don't know how this is going to go, but I figured I might as well see what everyone thinks of it. As you can tell, it's a crossover of Inuyasha and Yu Yu Hakusho. I started it over a year ago and just now revisited the idea. One more story to juggle, right? This one depends on how inspired I feel with it, as well as how well you readers respond.

The "what"s: Listening to a playlist for my final exams. I've been thinking about school for hours and needed a break. What better way to take a break than publishing a story, right? Really, though, all I want is for it to be the weekend. By that time, I'll be home free, and there will be much more time for stories.

Disclaimer: I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho, and I don't own Inuyasha. They are the animes I grew up with, but that's the extent of it. I do own Tsukiame, and I own the current plotline. Enjoy.

Chapter One: What's the Big Deal?

"Kagome? Is your fried always this weird?" a girl asked, looking to her black-haired, brown-eyed cousin. Kagome looked to the girl sitting across from her and sighed. She watched as the brown-haired, green-eyed cousin of hers eyed their guest with obvious disdain.

"Inuyasha, do you think you can show more manners?" Kagome hissed, not liking the criticism of her cousin to fall so cruelly upon the silver-haired, golden-eyed man she had come to spend so much time with.

"What are you talking about, Kagome?" he asked mid-bite. Her cousin made a noise of disgust. Kagome sighed again. Ever since her cousin had spent more time at the Higurashi shrine, she had been more suspicious of their behaviors. She had to be far more careful about trying to find a way to get to the Well. The last thing she wanted was to have to her cousin realize what was going on. If she did, she'd probably think they'd all finally gone mad.

"Tsukiame, are you going somewhere?" Kagome's mother asked when she saw her rise from the table.

"I think I'm going to go back home. Thank you again for dinner," she said as she bowed and prepared to leave.

"So soon? You've hardly been here, Tsukiame."

"Yes, it wouldn't hurt for you to stay a while longer," their grandfather goaded. Kagome didn't understand why they were both pleading for her to stay. In truth, she was glad to be rid of her. It meant she wouldn't have to deal with her cousin's attitude or suspicion any longer.

"I really appreciate you wanting me to stay longer, but I have a lot of homework to catch up on if I expect to ever gain anything." She knew by the look on Kagome's face that they all knew exactly what she was talking about. She had a rival at her high school and was determined to show that she could do better than him. It didn't matter that she was good at soccer, vice president of their class, and had the second-highest grade point average in the school. What mattered was showing that pretty boy, Shuichi Minamino, was seemingly too perfect to her. It didn't seem possible, natural… at least, not to her.

"All right, I hope you do well on your exams, Tsukiame."

"Thank you for your time." She then turned to Inuyasha and bowed. "It was…interesting… to have finally met you, Inuyasha," she added, giving one final look at the baseball cap the clashed miserably with his old-style kimono. She turned and walked out the door, wondering if they had anything to hide.

"That was close," Kagome said, breathing a sigh of relief.

"Why don't you just let Tsuki know about Inuyasha?" her little brother asked; his brown-eyes were innocently looking at her.

"You know Tsuki. She's always so suspicious," Kagome said.

"It might help if you tell her," her mother said seriously.

"What's the big deal with her, anyway?" Inuyasha asked crossly. "I don't see why you're making this into such an issue. She's just another girl."

"Tsuki is my cousin. She's a genius, or so everyone says at her school. She's on the soccer team, vice president of her class, and is one of the top students at her school. She's also very aware of things that go on; it makes her suspicious of anything that seems out of place. Grandpa thinks she can sense youkai, although it didn't seem like it."

"Tsuki has just had a rough time. We've been trying to help her adjust. Still, she's seemed rather strange since her parents died," her mother added thoughtfully.

"Do you think there was something to do with youkai?" her little brother added.

"Get real, Souta, why would youkai go after her?" Kagome asked.

"There's something weird about her," Inuyasha said. "She smells weird, like she's been hanging around youkai." Kagome looked at him, obviously shocked to hear that. Inuyasha began to get irritated. "Are we going to go or not?"

"Alright, let's go then." Kagome turned and looked to her mother and grandfather. "See you later!" she said, waving cheerily as she did so. Her family waved back as turned around to head for the well.
