I based Sweet Sacrifice off a story I really love. The story that got me on fan fiction really. It's called the Love Legend a Seiya/Serena story. Go read it. It will have some similarities but will be totally different.

I do not own Inuyasha OR Bleach.

As much as I wish, I don't.

Alright~ Enjoy the story. I will update every 2 weeks. :)

Sweet Sacrifice

Kagome is the Princess of the Feudal Kingdom. She was adopted by the king because of her beauty when she was seven.

Ichigo is a Death Lord. He comes the kingdom with his allies looking for the Shikon No Tama. His goal is to retrieve the jewel and destroy it but the only way to destroy it is to kill Kagome.

Chapter 1

Kikyo smiled at her guests as she walked down the hall of the palace. Her father sent her to get her adopted sister Kagome from the dungeon. She was kept in there because if seen, men would try to kidnap her. Like Kikyo cared though. Kikyo's birthday was today. She has turned 19 years old. It was time she found the right man to marry and become Queen of the Feudal Kingdom, or at least some high ranking kingdom. But Kikyo knew once she let Kagome come to this ball it'll be another story. Men would flack towards her, asking for her hand, a dance, anything; Kikyo would be left alone to the 2nd ranks.

Kikyo spotted one of Kagome's best friends, Sango. "Sango!" she called crossing her arms. Sango must've just got back from her training with her father. "What unladylike." Kikyo thought.

"Milady, is something the matter?" Sango approached her. Kikyo sighed; she really did not feel like going down to that dungeon just to retrieve Kagome.

"Can you go fetch Kagome? She needs to be dressed for the ball. We have really important people coming and my father would like to impress at the best cause. Make sure she is dressed well, nothing too revealing because she is still 16. Do you understand?" Kikyo told her.

"Yes. I will do. Is there anything you need?" Sango asked.

"Nope. Just hurry it up. We don't want to waste time." Kikyo told her, turning the opposite direction and leaving.

Sango smiled widely once Kikyo was gone and raced down to the dungeon to get her best friend.

Kagome sat against the wall finishing a new jacket for her. Not that she was able to leave palace grounds at all. She wanted to. She knew it was winter time. And around that time of year she makes jackets just in case the King might let her go out and play with her best friend in the snow.

Kagome knew why she couldn't though. Her beauty was no joke. Her skin was as pale as the snow. Her lips were pink and her eyes were a chestnut brown. Her hair reached her mid back in black curls.

She knew the reason behind her pale skin; she was never able to go outside. Her father made her believe the light was her enemy and she didn't need it.

Her eyes rose quickly as the dungeon doors opened abruptly.

A smile graced her lips "Sango!"

"Hey gorgeous! Let's go, your father wants you to attend the ball for Kikyo!" Sango smiled.

Kagome rose to her feet. "Do you like this?" she showed Sango the jacket she finished. "Yeah, you're really talented baby doll." Sango smiled.

Kagome hugged the jacket "Why thank you!"

"C'mon! We have to hurry. The only one who wants to be late is Kikyo." Sango said.

"Alright"

Ichigo sighed listening to Rukia rant on about the last mission they were on. He will never understand how Renji can deal with her every night.

"AND YOU" she pointed in Ichigo's face. "You just had to show off huh! All those Menos Grandes would not have appeared if you just didn't lay low! Do you know how many innocent people were hurt?"

"If they would have heeded my warnings in the beginning they wouldn't have to worry about getting hurt, now would they?" Ichigo said.

"That's not the point Ichigo! I told you specifically to not interfere in the fight. Under any condition" Rukia sighed.

"Well, if you and Renji weren't getting y'all ass kicked the way y'all were I wouldn't had to interfere" Ichigo looked at her lazily.

"Hey, I was handling it" Renji frowned, getting irritated.

"No, you weren't. I watched that one hollow fling you with its tail. It was sad." Ichigo said.

"Shut up!" Rukia growled "We have a bigger mission anyway".

"I don't think so. I need a nap." Ichigo said.

"Oh no. You'll like this." Rukia grinned. "Urahara sent me a mission about Aizen".

Ichigo and Renji looked at each other before listening.

"So, there is this jewel. It's called the Shikon No Tama. It gives you as much strength as you want and grants any wish for you. Aizen is looking for it. They've said it's in the Feudal Kingdom. The King has it. We have to convince, CONVINCE, the king to give us the jewel for his own safety and then destroy it in the place where it was created." Rukia explains.

"And where might that be?" Renji asked.

"Urahara doesn't know. He has an idea but he isn't sure. So when we retrieve the jewel we go straight to him." Rukia says.

"Isn't there a ball for the king's daughter tonight?" Renji asked.

Rukia smiled. "Yup! And guess what boys? We are going!"

Kagome watched Sango apply red lipstick to her lips. "Red makes you look even prettier." Sango said, finishing up.

Kagome wanted to ask if she was sure. "Alright, done. Let's go." Sango said. Kagome nodded taking Sango's hand and they waltz out of the room to the ballroom.

Kagome separated from Sango so she can greet her father. The King was sitting watching over the citizens' dance happily. Kagome walked in front of the king and curtsied gracefully. "My Kagome, your beauty will draw attention, come sit next to me." He smiled. Kagome returned the smile and took her seat beside her father.

Even though the comment was meant just for a compliment, Kagome could already see the men's eyes looking toward her stun.

"Father" Kagome whispered, nervous.

"Don't worry" He took her hand "You will choose who to dance with."

Kagome nodded. Then, the doors opened revealing Kikyo. She was wearing a red low cut dress. Everyone moved, clearing the way for Kikyo to walk up to her father and take her seat beside him. The King rose, as well as Kagome, and greeted her with a loving hug.

Kikyo and Kagome locked eyes before they returned it to the king as he spoke.

"My darling Kikyo has made the age of marriage. Tonight, she will find her groom." The King told the crowd. Applause rang through the ballroom.

People called out things like: "She will make a beautiful Queen." "Lady Kikyo you look amazing tonight." "No one can outshine you tonight."

The King looked to Kagome to speak.

"Please, enjoy tonight ladies and gentlemen. Make this night my sister's best. It is well deserved." She spoke.

And with that, the party truly began.

Kikyo danced with many men. She laughed and enjoyed her night.

Kagome looked through the audience and spotted Sango with her brother Kohaku. Kagome smiled seeing her friend finally united with her brother after 2 years of him training aboard. Kagome then spotted three people walk in the ballroom.

Two men and one woman. The first man had long red hair with weird eyebrows. He seemed to be accompanying the young woman who was extremely short with black hair. But the man with them really caught her attention. His hair was orange and he had the most beautiful chestnut eyes she has ever seen. Kagome found him, interesting looking.

But he seemed bored. The girl with them seems excited, which made Kagome smile.

He must've felt her gaze because he looked in her direction and held the gaze. Kagome blushed and looked down at her hands and looked up and he was gone. Kagome searched the crowd and spotted him over by the drinks. Kagome placed her hand to her lips nervously, on the urge to bite her nails. Kagome stood up. "Father." She prayed he'd let her.

The King looked to her. "May I step outside, by the tree in the courtyard?" she asked.

His eyes soften, understanding. She might be overwhelmed by the people and it wouldn't hurt for her to go out in the dark. And it's in their yard anyway.

"Do you need anyone to come along?" he asked.

"No sir. I just, need to step out for a while." Kagome explained. "Very well. Don't be long." He told her.

Kagome smiled and took her leave. Unknowingly, two pairs of brown eyes watched her.

Kagome regretted stepping outside, feeling freezing air against her skin. It was snowing lightly. Kagome looked at the sky amazed at the sight. She forgot the cold as she looked at the stars. She placed her hand out wondering if she can catch the snow like Sango explained. The flakes flew into her palm but melted against her warm hands.

Kagome shivered strongly. She didn't want to step into the yard by the tree because of the snow. Her shoes weren't appropriate for it. But she knows when she gets her chance, she'll make snow angels with Sango someday.

She flinched when she felt someone place a coat over her shoulders. She turned to see, the man with the orange hair.

"Your attire isn't fitting to be outside, princess." He said.

Kagome looked at him seriously. Who was this man? What did he want?

She chooses to ignore it for now.

"This snow…Why did it melt in my hand?" she asked, curious. He looked at her weirdly.

"You've never played in the snow before?" he asked. Kagome shook her head.

"Well, the snow is water, just frozen. Your hands are warm, so it was going to melt regardless." He told her taking her hand in his, rubbing it to keep it warm.

"What about it on the ground? Can I touch it? Or will it melt?" Kagome asked.

"I wouldn't recommend you do it without gloves. Usually it doesn't melt." He said. Kagome made an 'ah' sound understanding.

"Who are you?" she asked.

"Ichigo. And you are," he said. "Kagome."

Kagome nodded. "Are you enjoying the ball, Ichigo?"

"Now I am."

Sooooo? What did you think? I hope you enjoy the first chapter. I haven't updated a story in a while. Reviews make me more excited to update. So, REVIEW. I take harsh reviews, but not reviews like, "This sucks, you're a failure." Give me reviews telling me what I should and shouldn't do! By the way, this is my first crossover.

Thank you for your time!

xoxo,
