(Hello everyone! Look whose posting again, yup the person you didn't want! Oh well, so quick update: digimon story will be posted once the first 10 chapters are re-edited because that story is getting a major overhaul. My Twilight Princess fic needs the last chapters complete and also edited but it too will be posted. It's the shorter of the two but because of how much I have to make up in terms of lore it takes longer. Not to mention work is a major distraction. Now this one... ah, okay truth be told I love Inuyasha, always have since I was young, I think I have over 7 different crossover ideas for it already but this one is the best so far so it's what I'm posting.

Couple notes: Akito is male in this, I know he's female (spoilers?) in the manga but I didn't read the manga. I have done research on the manga and I know of the stuff in it... kinda, but I'll mostly be going off of the anime and well, crossing it with Inuyasha. The addition of demons and magic really add lots of possibilities you know. Also, there are pairings in this and if you don't like them well... you don't have to read I suppose. It's Kagome x Kyo and Torhu x Akito. If you have any thing to say about the last pairing I got nothing, I just like it. ~Just wait for my Silent Hill/ FB crossover~ Now the last thing, this is a slow boil. I mean slow, as in the first 5 chapters are all set up really, if you arn't a fan of that kind of pacing you might try a different fic.)

Disclaimer: Now I'm only going to say this once here and never again. I don't own either of the shows or IP in this story, this is where you can't actually post original IP. Seriously it's in the guidelines so nothing is being claimed or owned here. I won't be posting this on any other chapter. None of the characters are mine, none of the worlds are mine, you know who their owned by. That's all, Enjoy~

The afternoon sun was sinking down the sky over the Higurashi shrine, leaving it's golden glow to fall through the sacred tree's leaves. Spring had come after a long winter and the tree was once again blooming with lush, rich foliage. The dappled ground had been swept clean of the dead twigs that had littered it and the dead leaves from the fall before. Few people milled around as they came to say their prayers and give their offerings for the new year. Inside the small dwelling on the large shrine a young mother vigorously washed the dishes for the coming dinner. Arguing with herself as always if it was a good idea to make extra in case her baby girl came home that day.

It had been almost a month since she had seen her daughter, not as long as a few other times but there was no warning. Her girl didn't tell her of the long journey her and her friends were taking so she had thought the stay would be about two weeks as it usually was. Ms. Higurashi would never come out and say it, but she was terrified for her only daughter. While she was here taking care of the home and shrine, Kagome was out fighting demons in the past. It was important, but sometimes her motherly instincts cried out to her to drag the girl back and keep her away from that place, for she knew. She knew in her heart that when their journey was over it was highly likely Kagome would marry that handsome young man who would follow her from the past. The brash half demon with silver hair and adorable little dog ears who loved Kagome deeply.

Holding back an errant sob that welled in her throat, Mrs. Higurashi took a deep breath and stabilized her swaying form by gripping tight to the counter. She wanted her girl to be happy, she wanted Kagome to live with the man she loved, even if it was away from her family. Even if the mother would never see her baby girl again she understood how important it was. How much Kagome would be in pain if she wasn't allowed to follow her heart. For that reason she kept all these emotions hidden. Not only from her daughter but from her own son and her father-in-law. Perhaps that was the hardest part. Though the boys loved and admired Kagome they couldn't understand the deep conflict Mrs. Higurashi had with letting the girl go to never be seen again. Not for the first time she wished that her husband was with her. Her distressing thoughts turned to the day she lost him and finally the tears spilled over. Her family was all she had and it was slowly breaking apart at the seems, but she would not, could not, stop them. They had their own lives to live, their own battles to fight, even if it was far away from her.

As Mrs. Higurashi's sobbing quieted down she turned off the still running faucet and dried her tears with the dish towel. She wouldn't think about that now, she wouldn't. She had wasted enough time mourning today and it was time to get dinner started. Quickly she reached for the fridge only to notice her trembling hands. They quaked with the weight that she tried suppressing and she yanked them back. If either of the boys saw her like this, they wouldn't understand. Nor would they be able to help, she just had to get over it. Swallow the pain as she always did, until a keening wail periced through her thoughts.

Blinking rapidly she looked up and heard it again. A long screeching cry that sounded like...

"Kagome!" She couldn't help shouting as she rushed out of the house. Relief and fear flooded through her as she heard the anguished cries ringing in her ears. Something was wrong, the only other time Kagome had come back in tears was when that freak weather accident happened. She bounded across the shadowed ground as she passed the guardian tree, headed for the old well where the sounds were echoing from.

"INUYASHA!" Kagome screamed with such pain and despair it felt like a knife carving into the souls of any who heard it. Her mother felt her blood run cold as she threw open the old wooden doors and raced down the steps, barely stopping into time before she toppled into the well. Freezing in place she could only watch for moments at the scene below. She heard the sounds of Souta and her farther in law running towards the sound as well, shouting in confusion.

Kagome was clawing at the earth in such a fervored frenzy that her nails were completely ruined, blood splashed along the walls of the well while her tears soaked the dusty ground. Her usual school uniform was in tattered ruins as bruises and cuts littered her body. Her choked sobs echoed up through the well, snapping her mother out of the trance she was in. Without a further thought she lowered herself into the well beside her daughter and tried rubbing her back.

Kagome reacted quickly and spun, knocking the offending hand away, face red and water streaming in rivulets down her face. Her eyes which were puffy focused on her mother, not recognizing the woman at first. Ms. Higurashi could only hold back her tears for a moment before realization hit the teenagers eyes and she was tackled with a strength unfitting of the young girl.

"MOM! MOMMA!" Kagome wailed as she gripped tight to her mother for dear life. Burying her face in her mothers chest as she wept, her grip was tight, as if the woman was the only thing keeping her from falling into the abyss. Her mother could only cry with her, petting her hair softly as she tried to comfort her ailing daughter.

"Kagome, what happened?" She cooed softly, trying to get a coherent response out of the hysterical child. Kagome looked up and her eyes were filled with such pain and loss that her mother had a dreadful feeling that she knew what words were going to come out of her mouth.

"I-Inuyasha..." She choked, Kagome's eyes glazing over as if in memory. Her body trembled with a violent shudder as she bit her lip hard enough to make it bleed. "H-he's dead!"
