A/N: New story! I've already written a SE/Inuyasha crossover a while ago (Iron Reaver Soul Stealer, if you want to check that out!) I wanted to try and get back in the fanfiction game since I don't really have a lot going on so let's see how this goes.
Disclaimer: I do not own Soul Eater or Inuyasha!
Chapter 1: Trouble in Tokyo
Cold air blows through the empty streets of Tokyo. Of course, they would be empty, it was late at night and no one was out. No one, well except for those who were unfortunate enough to have jobs ending past midnight, or for those who just wanted to relax and party at a local bar or club. Tapping could be heard down a dark street along with some giggling. Two girls hand in hand, now you could easily see that they were intoxicated heavily, they would stumble and slur their words as they tried to speak. Both almost tripping in the fancy heels they had on. A dark shadow loomed over them as they passed a closed ramen shop. The light from the ramen shop flickers. This catches their attention and they giggle and joke about a ghost haunting the shop. They stop when light bulb explodes. The girls shriek as they avoid the shards of glass that fall near their feet. They look at each other before bursting out in laughter, a dark shadow followed behind them as they continue with their drunk laughter, a hand stretches out from the shadow grabbing one of the girl's ankle. She screeches as she is pulled down and dragged away by a shadow, her friend begins to panic as she grabs her hand trying her best to pull her away from the dark shadow mass dragging her friend away. But in her drunk state she falls, the shadow pauses as it notices the other fallen girl. It's voice croaks in delight as another dark hand reaches out of the shadows to grasp the second girl's ankle. Soon they are both dragged away into the darkness, their voices diminishing each passing second.

"Two new bodies have been discovered this morning near a local ramen shop, both women were highly intoxicated and found completely disfigured and violently murdered, officials say it could be a possible serial killer, this new case is another addition to the already ongoing 20 unsolved murders the past two months..."
Ms. Higurashi quickly turns off the television as the youngest of the Higurashi children ran downstairs ready for breakfast before school, with all that was happening in the news, Ms. Higurashi thought it would be the best to walk Sota to school today. The table had been already set and she was finishing up the last of the bacon and eggs. "Good morning Sota dear, eat up! We'll be heading out soon to school" the young boy pouted as he began to eat the food in front of him.
"But mom! I'm old enough to walk by myself!" Sota protested, the last few days had been embarrassing as his mother had been walking him to school and picking him up, this earned him teasing from his fellow classmates who saw the young boy's mother picking him up.
"No buts young men, it's been more dangerous lately and I'm worried!" Ms. Replied as he served her song a cup of hot tea. She patted his head and gave him her best 'worried mom' look. Sota looks away, feel guilt growing at the pit of stomach, he hated when his mom pulled out the "I'm just worried because I love you" card. He groans and continues eating his breakfast.
"Fine! I'll let you take me...hey where's Kagome? Isn't she going back to the feudal era today?" Sota asks as he takes a sip of tea. A loud crash is heard upstairs and a dark-haired teen comes running down the stairs putting on her usual sailor school uniform and hauling a large, overly stuffed backpack. She pants softly as she leans the backpack against the kitchen wall.
"Sorry I overslept!" she chuckles as she scratches her hair. Ms. Higurashi smiles at her daughter's antics. She points to the table where a plate of breakfast is already set for her daughter. She sits down and begins to gobble down her food as fast as she could.
"Whoa Kagome slow down, what's the rush!" Ms. Higurashi gently pats her daughter's back when she begins coughing from all her food intake. Sota chuckles at his sister's behavior as he hands her a cup of tea to water down all the food stuck in her throat. After a few seconds of Kagome trying to not choke on breakfasts she takes a deep breath.
"Mom I have to hurry! I was supposed to be back last night but I ended up falling asleep studying!" Kagome complains, she had wanted to catch up on some homework her friends had brought for her while she was gone, she managed to get it all done within the three days she was back home visiting, but all that work had made her sleepy. She had to hurry before a certain half-demon made a fuss and came to get her as he did in the past.
"Oi Kagome! Where have you been!" A silvered haired man with dog ears on top of his head came through the kitchen making Kagome jump in her chair, once again lodging a piece of toast in her throat. The half demon raised an eyebrow as he watched Kagome cough.
"Inuyasha!" Sota chirped, he was always excited when the dog demon came to visit, well, more like pick up Kagome whenever she was late. But ever since the Noh mask incident Inuyasha was the little boy's hero and he greatly looked up to him and even wanted to be like him when he grew up, of course he couldn't be a demon, but a kid can dream can't he.
"Common Kagome, hurry up eating so we can head back to the feudal era, everyone's waiting for ya!" Inuyasha crossed his arms across his chest as he leaned against the wall, he would have to wait for Kagome to finish breakfast.
"How about joining us Inuyasha, we always have an extra plate for you" Ms. Higurahsi held a plate full of food in her hands as she set it in an empty place on the table. Every time Inuyasha would come she would offer the demon some food. Inuyasha looked at h plate waiting for him, it wasn't his favorite cup of noodles, but any food would satisfy him. He nods and sits down, using his claws he picks up the bacon straps and begins to eat it. His eyes brighten and his ears twitch with delight.
Kagome rolls her eyes and continues to finish her breakfast, even asking for second along with Inuyasha, they were going back to the feudal ear to fight demons so they would need all the strength they could gather.
~o0o~
After breakfast, the demon and priestess pair headed off to the well and back into the feudal ear where all their friends were waiting for them. Kagome grunted as she struggled with her huge yellow backpack. Inuyasha shook his head and carried Kagome bridal style and jumped out of the well along with her bulky backpack. "You know I still don't understand why you're still carrying that thing, just bring the instant ramen geez" Inuyasha grumbled as he jumped through the air making his way back to the village.
"There are more important things that your noodles Inuyasha" Kagome chuckled. She covered her face as they ran through the forest, Inuyasha would always go so quick that every single time they stopped she had leaves in her hair or even worse a fly in her mouth. She shuddered at the thought of that happening again. Within a matter of seconds, the two arrived at the outskirts of Kaede's village. They were greeted by their friends who were already on their to the well to start their long journey once again.
"Oh Kagome! I'm glad your back!" A woman with her hair tied back carrying a huge weapon on her back walked up to her. "How was your trip?" She asked her friend. A little twin tailed cat jumped up her owner's shoulder and mewed, as if she was greeting Kagome.
"It went well thanks for asking Sango" Kagome smiled as she greeted her friend. She reached into her backpack and took out a couple of things she had brought back from the future as she always did when she returned to visit home. Sango thanks her and takes the snacks.
"Ah Lady Kagome we missed you so!" A monk had appeared next to Kagome, a small devilish smile on his lips formed. Kagome had known that smile from past experiences and backed away from the monk.
"Good to see you too Miroku" Kagome said in an irked tone. Despite this she rummaged through her bag to take out Miroku's gifts from the future. The priestess hands him the tea and sutras from her grandpa to him, although Kagome's grandpa's sutra didn't really do much, it served as inspiration for the young monk to create his own, he enjoyed the old man's sutras.
"Kagome!" A small voice exclaims. A blur of fur rushes at Kagome and jumps into her arms. The teen giggles as she cradles the young fox kit in her arms.
"I missed you to Shippo, don't worry I got your favorite cherry lollipops!" Kagome once again rummages through her yellow bag of wander to pull out a bag full of candy and a noticeable large rotatable lollipop Shippo loved so much. The young kit hugs Kagome as a thank you and grabs the bag, going for the rotating lollipop as he usually did.
Kagome turns to her half demon companion and hands him the usual loot of instant ramen. Inuyasha grumbles a small thank you before taking it. His nose twitching as he smells the new flavor through the packaging, at this Kagome giggles. That concluded the souvenir distribution and everyone was officially ready to start traveling.
~0o0~
It had been hours since the group of demon hunting shard hunters had started traveling. The sun was starting to set and it was time to start setting up camp. The group had found a spot in the forest with enough clearing for a fire place and sleeping bags. After setting up the fire Kagome had brought out her pit to boil water, tonight's dinner, instant ramen, much to Inuyasha's delight. The night went on as the friends ate dinner and chatted.
Suddenly Inuyasha's ears twitched. He shushed everyone one and stood up, his hand on the hilt of his sword. He stared into the forest's darkness. He didn't notice the dark shadow moving along the trees as they blew softly. Kirara hissed as she noticed the shadow moving towards Inuyasha. A dark hand came out of the shadow ready to grab his bare ankle.
"Inuyasha look out!" Kagome yells. She pulls her arrow against the string of her bow and shoots a glowing purple arrow towards the hand, it immediately stops and retreats as it hisses in pain. Inuyasha turns around surprised that he didn't see the attack. He looks down and follows the shadow as it retreats into the shadows. Quickly the rest of the party follows behind in case the half demon needed back up of some sort. They run through the forest and arrive at a cliff where Inuyasha is already in battle with the shadow. The sword clashes against the shadow making a clinking noise, the sword didn't seem so affective so Kagome grabbed another arrow. She carefully aimed at the shadow, when the perfect spot opened she sent the purple arrow of her priestess powers flying, hitting her mark. She cheered as she saw the shadow collapsed. Everyone ran over to it.
The shadow soon disappeared to show a sickly humanoid creature with a big mouth. it almost looked human. Kagome gasped as she noticed its attire, they were modern. The body glowed and soon disappeared, leaving only a bright red floating orb.
Miroku placed a hand on his chin, "A human soul?" That was the first time anyone had seen a red soul, and it was big. Kagome frowned as she stared at the ground where the thing had died. She bit the bottom of her lip as she pondered.
"It was pretty powerful, Inuyasha's sword couldn't even make a scratch" Sango noted. Inuyasha tsked annoyed at the fact that his sword could'nt do any damage. He decided to walk off as it seemed there wasn't a jewel shard anywhere. He shook his head as everyone left the red floating orb to go back to their camp sight. Kagome stood there dumbfounded, still thinking about the ripped modern clothes, it even seemed familiar, it was a t-shirt Hojo had worn once when they had gone out for a 'date'. That shirt in particular was pretty popular and almost everyone had one. The dark-haired girl shook her head a decided to drop the subject and caught up with her friends.
A while had passed since the jewel hunting group left. A glowing snake like entity flew near the red orb. It grabbed the soul with its little claws before flying back into the forest, taking the soul with it back to its owner.
