Hey there. First story up since my last account from when i was a kid. Re-read that and had some major writer's reflection. Lol. I almost didn't recognize it.

Hope everyone enjoys this one. One crossover I enjoy is Inuyasha/Yu Yu Hakusho.

Kagome walked into her bedroom to get ready for her big day. After finding and piecing together the remaining shards of the Shikon Jewel, Midoriko had come to Kagome and told her of the shredding between the dimensions. Kagome had to participate in the seperation of the dimensions and close off the well to preserve the balance and keep the world from splitting apart.

Today was the day Kagome would leave to go get her diploma. She would be strong. She wouldn't cry. Most of all, she wouldn't break down in front of anyone. Kagome got ready and left to go meet up with her friends before the ceremony. Her hair was tied up in a high pony-tail while her makeup was dark. She wore dark blue eye shadow and black eyeliner. Her wardrobe had changed in recent months. She adorned a black spaghetti-strap top with dark blue, form-fitting jeans. She wore plain, black sneakers out of habit due to always being chased by something. Kagome grabbed her satchel and went through it to look for her cell phone. She'd gotten just the day before. She figured, since she'd be in the modern era permanately now, she needed to re-accustom herself with modern technology.

Upon arriving at WacDonalds, Kagome took a deep breath as she prepared for "normal" conversations. She missed being in the Feudal Era. She fit in better there. Ironic, isn't it? That a girl can fit in better in a completely different time period than her own.

Kagome heard her name being called. She turned to see her friends sitting at a table. "Kagome! We got your order for you!"

Kagome sighed. Maybe this was how her life would proceed. Wake up. Pretend your smile is real. Talk to people who don't notice it's fake. Assimilate. Then repeat.

She walked over and sat with her friends. She noticed her food was odd. Since becoming a Kitsune, Kagome had developed a taste for rawer foods and more meat. Well, she was a half-breed. She was still a Miko, which helped her mask her demonic energy, allowing her to stay in this dimension. There was no others of her kind. She needed to have that demonic blood to age with her other half, though. He was everything to her. So why wouldn't she want to age like he did so they'd have a longer life together? If she'd known about the recent outcomes prior to the situation, Kagome would've just stayed human so she could die earlier and not have to suffer as long. There was a part of her missing and nothing, and no one, could ever fill it. Why did fate have to be so cruel?

At the graduation ceremony, Kagome stood in the back, against the wall, and crossed her arms. Instead of interrupting everyone and just walking up, she quietly waited. All of her work would've been for nothing if she didn't get this one piece of paper.

Once her name was called, Kagome, who was the only one not in a gown, walked up to the front of the stage area, grabbed her diploma, and walked out. She didn't wait. She didn't stay. She didn't even bother speaking to anyone. What was the point?

She went out to the park to sit on the swing and clear her head. Just as she was in a peaceful state of mind, Kagome felt something approaching her. Kagome looked up, despite her tears, and saw a familiar woman standing in front of her. "S-Sango?"

The young lady stared in disbelief. "I'm sorry. You must be mistaken. My name is Saiyo. Are you okay?"

Kagome sadly smiled. She must be Sango's reincarnation. Wiping her tears away, she replied, "Yeah, I'm fine. Sorry. I thought you were someone I used to know."

Saiyo sincerely smiled. "Oh, it's really no problem. Come on. Let's go get a burger or something."

Kagome stood up and followed her new friend. "I'm Kagome, by the way."
