Summary: Every idea, thought, or fleeting whim has the possibility to become so much more. This is a collection for such, all are but small ideas that may or may not blossom into full stories. Sinnpets, drabbles, and oneshots. Kagome centered crossover ideas, varying in rating and genre.

Series: Fire Emblem/Inu Yasha

Pairing: Kagome/Ike

Summary: Kagome knows the pain of war, knows it all to well. So when war breaks out in a neighboring kingdom she doesn't understand why her farther, the king, refuses to help them. She for one refuses to sit back and watch as the trails of war lay waste to another kingdom, even if it means picking up arms and joining the fight herself.

Kagome hummed an ancient tune to occupy herself as she tended to her task, mending Ike's cape for what seemed like, and most likely was, the hundredth time. The melody ended on a happy note as she tied the last knot. She held the cape up to light to critic her work, it wasn't the best but it would have to do, beside she doubted the cape would last much longer. They never did last more than two weeks at a time.

He was brash and impulsive, not unlike a certain youth that she knew and loved. But unlike him he was starting to improve his technique. He no longer ran blindly into battle instead he was starting to realize the pros to studying your enemy and accessing the situation beforehand. He was starting to become more like another youth, well he was older then her but he was still relatively young, she knew and loved. Given time he would most likely be just as revered and feared on the battle field as him.

Sadly time was not on their side, it had been a year and a half since Crimea had been lost to Deain, which for a group of mercenaries trying to liberate said kingdom was a long time. Far to long for her tastes, she as an heir to an empire knew how crucial a year and a half could be to a kingdom let alone a stolen kingdom. Not to mention the toll it took on the sole survivor of the royal blood line.

She as she sole princess of her Kingdom, the Kingdom of the Moon, could not even begin to imagine losing not only her kingdom but her family, her Father Inu no Tashio or her elder brothers Sesshoumaru and Inu Yasha, all in one night. She shuttered at the thought, she had already lost her mother and younger brother Souta, she knew all to well the horrors of war.

Her kingdom was not always as peaceful as it was today. Oh she remembered all to the well horrible wars between the minor lords before her father stepped up to the plate and united the land under his iron will. She was not the only one to lose her mother to the horrible wars, her elder brothers lost their mothers as well, they were all bore by different women which was the reason for the somewhat big age gaps between them all.

Sesshoumaru was the first born of Inu no Tashio's litter his mother was a pure bred Inu demon that was killed when the first war erupted, he was five at the time. The war lasted three years. Yet their father stayed out of the war opting instead to watch over his lands, which at the time were those of the West. It was another two years before he took another mate.

Inu Yasha was the second born, his mother was a human princess of a well to do family from the East, she was killed by the minor lord of the South, Naraku, in an attempt to stir up trouble, it worked and they were thrown into another war, Inu Yasha was two at the time of her death. This war lasted five years, yet he still avoided the war at all costs. It was a short five months after his second mate's death that he took another mate.

Kagome herself was his third born, being the only female of his litter, her mother was a very powerful human miko from the Higurashi clan of the North. Next was her younger brother Souta, they were the only two of his litter to have the same mother. Sadly she and Souta were killed when she was four years old; Souta was only one at the time.

It was after the loss of his final mate and child that he stepped into the war with his nineteen year old son at his side. Between the two of them they made quick work of the war and untied the land under the House of the moon, after only four years of war. After five years of peace her father decided that he wanted their kingdom to be recognized by the other nations, mainly the Begnion Empire who controlled the other smaller nations and Gallia.

Gallia was more accepting of them, given the similarity of their more animalistic nature. It only took a year and a half for their alliance to be made. Sadly the Begnion Empire refused to recognize them because they did not worship their Goddess and the majority of their population was nether human or Laguz, they were demons.

Yet their father refused to give up and kept lobbying for them to be recognized. They were refused for three years, yet on the eve of her sixteenth birthday they received word that their kingdom was finally recognized by the Begnion Empire. And so the peace talks between them and the Begnion Empire began. It was three months later that Daein began its unexpected battle campaign against Crimea, thus putting a sudden halt to any and all talks between their kingdoms.

It was two moths latter after much debate that her father deiced that the Kingdom of the Moon should interfere and give aid to the Crimea because after hearing the brave stories of a group of mercenaries that went by the name of The Greil Mercenaries. Of course her eldest brother objected, claiming that it was none of their business seeing as they were once again an unrecognized kingdom in the eyes of the world.

Yet, she feeling for Crimea's plight argued that if they just stood by and watched then they would fall under a negative light in the eyes of the other nations. And that if Daein did conquer Crimea then they would turn their sights elsewhere and eventually they would end up turning their sights on them.

He argued back that if and when that happened then they would crush the Daein army. To which she countered that by the laws of war any nation that is over run by another becomes part of the winning nation, and that if Daein took control of the other nations then they would be at war with the human nations seeing as Gallia was allied with them. This would make it seem as if they were declaring war on the human nations which would no doubt upset their human population thus sparking another war in their lands which would make it easier for Daein to take control.

Their arguments lasted for days on end until their father had grown weary of their bickering and decided to put his foot down. He calmly sated that they both had valid points, but that they would be unable to aid Crimea because if they were to declare war on Daein then it would appear as if they were declaring war on all humans which would as she said spark another inner war, something he did not need nor want. Either way his hands were tied, if he sat back and took no action and if he did take action the results were practically the same. Ashnard had both bases covered.

So sadly they had to sit back and watch as Daein declared war on Crimea and all the horrors that came with it. Yet she did not give up hope she kept in constant contact with Lethe, a Laguz she had met during the peace talks with Gallia, who was also a member of The Greil Mercenaries, so that when the moment came that Gallia announced its alliance with Crimea she would join their cause. Just because she was a princess didn't mean she couldn't fight.

Either way princess or not she was still the pup of the great Inu no Tashio and had a great lineage to live up to. She was quite skilled in the art of war and healing. She was after all a demon miko, a breed so rare that there was one born only every two hundred years. The last one had been a great woman by the name of Midoriko; in fact she was a descendant of her, which was why her healing powers were so great. So she occasionally sent Lethe vials of great healing potions and other various salves to help the cause, not to mention the countless amounts of gold from her own pocket.

In return Lethe sent her information and various trinkets form the front line. All the while keeping her identity as their benefactor a secret, Ike thought she was just a Gallia lord that was aiding them the best he could without rising suspicion from the other lords and often sent his thanks through Lethe.

So it was no surprise when a month later that she received a letter announcing that Gallia had made it known to all that it planned to back Crimea in its campaign against Deain. She gathered her pre-packed belongings and left for the front line leaving behind nothing more than a note explaining that she had gone to join the fray as an ambassador and that once she had made contact with The Greil Mercenaries and gained their trust she would send word.

Yes she knew it was rash and that she would have hell to pay latter but she could not stand by and watch anymore. She had to take action now before it was too late. She knew all to well all the time that would have to be wasted for an official ambassador to be chosen and sent to the front line. It was time that they did not have, besides who better to represent their kingdom then the princess herself?

It took her a month to catch up with the group and another month to gain their complete confidence to the point that they consulted her in the war meetings. It helped a lot having Lethe there to explain who she was and what she had been doing for them since the beginning of their campaign. It wasn't long before she herself began to trust them enough to let her guard down when she was with them. Sure she wanted to help them but that didn't mean she would let her guard down, she was after all a trained warrior and had no illusions that she would just show up and everything would be rainbows and sunshine. Respect had to be earned both ways and it was.
