Disclaimer: I don't own Final Fantasy VII or InuYasha, because let's be honest. If I owned either of these series, then I definitely wouldn't be sitting here making fanfiction about them.

Summary: She was born into the world with purpose; a purpose that would shake the very world around her and disrupt the path for Gaia that Fate had set in place. Her name was Kagome, and she is the blessed child of the Great God Leviathan. Watch as she washes away the tragic fate awaiting the Planet in her wake.


The River

Chapter One

Kagome was born to a lowly fisherman and his wife, on the docks on the ocean. Her cries were powerful as she announced her arrival into the world.

Her father, Tōshirō, had taken the little girl offered to him by the cooing midwife in training with awed eyes and a toothy grin. "Kagome, that's her name."

His wife, Kyōko, only smiled weakly as the elderly midwife of their village and her apprentice fussed over her. "It's a beautiful name anata, though a little ominous…" she trailed off, a hint of fear in her dark eyes.

Kagome was after all a part of an ominous nursery rhyme in their country called "Kagome, Kagome". Just thinking of the times the other children forced her to participate, and the absolute terror she had experienced when she felt as if something had been watching her…it just didn't seem appropriate.

Shivering, she couldn't help but feel that choosing such a name…there was no telling what consequences could come from his choice in naming their daughter.

Chuckling, Tōshirō rubbed his scruffy cheek against the soft pudgy one of his daughter. This caused the infant to scrunch up her little button nose cutely as she squirmed a bit in his hold. Pulling away with a grin, he looked at his wife. "Oh stop, you worrywart! Kagome is a fine name, a unique name."

Pressing a kiss to her forehead, he brought his daughter close to his chest. Resting her head right above his heart, which seemed to calm the little girl down as she drifted off to sleep.

Winking at his wife over his daughter's head, he rubbed his hand gently on his daughter's back.

"If the name is ominous in any way, then it's to serve as an omen, a sign of the change our musume will surely bring to this world!"

As if to agree with her father, the little girl's eyelids slowly rose to reveal two bright ocean blue eyes. Kyōko along with the midwife and her apprentice gasped in shock, and Tōshirō only raised his daughter and locked gazes with her.

"After all, how could we expect anything less from one who has been blessed by the Great God Leviathan?"


Anata: Japanese equivalent of "darling", which women use to refer to their boyfriends or husbands.

Musume: Japanese for "daughter".

So this is just a small little mini-series that I somehow came up with in my mind. It will be made up of short chapters, and usually updated whenever I hit a rut with the other stories on my profile. It is going to be covering the storyline of Before Crisis, Crisis Core, and then Final Fantasy VII. Of course, things are going to be different, but WHAT exactly will be different still remains to be seen right?

Oh well, I hope that this was enough to draw your attention.
