A/N: Hello, this is Momo, some of you may know me from other Inuyasha crossovers, or other fanfic's. If not, it's a pleasure to meet you and if you want to know (some) things about me, just hit up on my profile. Back to the topic in hand, this is my first Inuyasha/Durarara! Crossover just to let you all know. It's going to be a chapter story (I haven't decided if it'll be really long or just long yet) and I'd appreciate it if you'd review on the chapters. I'm saying this because I live for reviews, if I don't get enough, I might lose confidence in the story, so please review. Most of my A/N's won't be this long (so don't fret) and I hope you all enjoy the story. Let the Journey Begin~

Summary: Ikebukuro, a place filled with mysterious but interesting people. Kagome has heard many stories about the place, but never did she imagine she'd be apart of it. And every now and then she wouldn't regret it, but how long will she feel like that? A Drama/Action & Adventure/Slight Romance

A New Life

Chapter 1: A New Beginning

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Asked Kagome's mom. They were driving down the road, about to enter Ikebukuro. Kagome who sat on the passenger's side, looked over at her mom and smiled. "If I wasn't sure, we wouldn't even be going here," she told her, looking back out the window. Her mom sighed, her eyes back at the road. "We're going to miss you Kagome. You'll be coming back to visit though right?"

Kagome nodded, looking down at her lap. "Of coarse, you're my family after all. And if I don't, the last thing I want is for Inuyasha to come looking for me." They both laughed silently. If I ever want to be successful in life and grow up healthy and well, then this might be the best thing to do, Kagome thought.

She felt it was time for a change. It was unhealthy to keep going to the Feudal Aura; if she stayed there any longer she might not come back, and she never belonged there any way. When she graduated from middle school, no one could express the shock she felt. Her grandpa thought it was pure luck. But, Kagome knew if she had all these absences in high school, she'd never get anywhere in life. So she decided to go far away from the well and start a new life as a healthy high school student, where no one knew who she was.

But even if she goes to a new school, that won't stop her from going back and visiting. Never will Kagome forget the adventures she's had. This will be good for me, that way my life can go back on track. If I ever want to be normal, then this is the right thing to do. Besides, Raira Academy seems like a good school, and a good school is everything I need.

They finally arrived in Ikebukuro. The milk colored full moon was in the sky, looming over the bright town. Kagome marveled at all the building and street lights, cars driving past them. The streets weren't that crowded but the sidewalks were filled with all sorts of people. It was an amazing view, she's never seen Ikebukuro in person before, only in movies.

Kagome couldn't believe she was about to live here, it was like a dream come true. She couldn't help but smile brightly as they sped down the street. "Amazing," she said, looking over at her mom. "This place is so cool!"

Her mom smiled at her. "Well, I hope you like it here, Kagome," she said. Kagome nodded and continued looking out the window. I wish Inuyasha were here to see it, she thought. Ikebukuro is even better than I imagined. I don't know why people say it's a bad town. I could believe if there were gangs, but everything else seems like a lie.

After another thirty minutes of driving, they arrived at a three story apartment. They pulled into the drive way and trudged up the stairs until they were on Floor 3, Room 21B. Kagome's mom pulled a key out her pocket and unlocked the door.

They walked into the already furnished apartment. There was a brown couch against the wall and a lounging chair next to a big window, tan curtains keeping the light out. There was a coffee table perched on the tan carpet, and an ordinary TV with nothing on it's shelves. To the left was an average kitchen with a refrigerator, stove, counters, microwave, sink and dish-washer. The white tiles glistened as if they were recently waxed. To the right was a closet for coats, and a deeper inside it was a washing machine and a dryer. The other door was her bedroom which had a bed (with not sheets or covers) and an empty dresser.

Kagome walked inside, smiling as she brought her suitcases inside. "This place looks so nice. All I have to do is hang up a few pictures and put my things away, then it'll be just like home!" she said, setting her suitcases down so she could spin around, the blue sundress she wore spinning beside her.

Her mom handed her the key and Kagome set it on the counter. "You make sure to call us OK Kagome?" Kagome gave her mom a hug. "It's alright mom, I promise I'll call. You can count on that." Her Mom started towards the door. "See you soon, Kagome."

Closing the door with a soft click, Kagome walked over and locked it. She sighed, looking around her room. "I guess this is the new beginning I've waited for."

Well, that's it for this chapter. This is no different than a prologue, or something to get things started. I'll be posting things again probably tomorrow/today (if I'm not busy). Don't forget to R&R.
