I do not own Bleach or Inuyasha

Story

Kagome looked down at the ground, a sigh escaping her pale lips. She glanced at the man who was walking beside her, down the broken dirt path. Like always, he was staring ahead with an indifferent expression adorning his face.

"Sesshomaru?" She called his name. He inclined his head, showing he was listening. "I haven't' been able to sense Miroku or Sango anymore…" Her voice faded, showing her worry. "Do you think those Masked Creatures got them?" She asked him.

"Those two are strong, for humans." He told her. "I'm sure they just passed on."

"You really think so?"

"Shouldn't you be doing the same, instead of worrying about others?" He told her in his usual cold voice. "You can't linger in this world forever, Kagome…"

She looked away from him, glancing down at the floor once more. She raised her hand and touched the chain that was hanging from her chest. It gave a rattle, before going back to thumping against her body in a soft rhythmic chime with her moments.

"I know…" She whispered halfheartedly. "I know…"

Kagome stood beside his bed, smiling as memories of the past flooded her mind. How many years ago has it been? She questioned. Looking at his resting form, she couldn't help but wonder if it really has been that long…

"Sesshomaru." Reaching down, she brushed away some loose silver strand that was hanging in his face. "When did I stop wishing to pass on?" She questioned out loud. "It's been so long, the thought of leaving this world faded from my mind years ago." She finally realized. She gently trailed her fingers over his markings, a soft expression on her face. "Just staying by your side, makes me feel like I'm alive again…" She turned her head and looked out the window, a sigh escaped her lips. "Even if I knew how, I don't want to pass on, and leave you, dear friend." She smiled, before reaching out and tugging on his comforter, pulling it up to his chest so he could stay warm.

He'd been getting old, though he didn't want to admit it. She could tell, for he had been sleeping more often then he use to in the past. Being in such a constant strain of stress from work must really have tired him out. A demon, living in the human world, was not something that came naturally or easily. After all, he was the only demon left still in the human realm. All the others had gone to a new and better world that was fit for their bloody and powerful nature. Yet he chose to stay behind, for her…

If he left, she would have no one else to talk to, and she would be once again alone; wondering the world with a grief stricken heart. Being alone and unable to speak or touch anyone freighted her so much. It felt as if she was in a sea of emptiness, trying to swallow her whole. The day he told her that he was going to stay- She was so happy that she cried.

She smiled, looking at his peaceful expression. Leaving him would be like death all over again- Painful and full of anguish. She reached up, and gripped the chain till her ghostly knuckles grew white.

Looking around the room she felt herself relax again, and she lowered her hand. She shouldn't be worrying, she wasn't going anywhere- She sighed before turning, and walking towards the window.

The moonlight bathed into the room, giving it a surreal glow. The image soothed her, but the dark room felt as if she was confined. She sighed, staring out into the night sky. Tonight was a beautiful night, if only she could enjoy it more- Glancing back towards the man sleeping on the bed, she smiled. He wouldn't mind if she just took a calming stroll…

She then took another step forward and phased through the wall. Once her form was completely on the other side, her body started falling towards the ground. She landed without so much as a sound, as her feet touched the floor gracefully. She then proceeded to take a calming walk around the property.

Sesshomaru owned a large piece of land, and had a beautiful garden she could stare at whenever she wanted. Though she couldn't really plant or tend to the flowers, it still made her happy just watching them bloom and grow. Yet at night she would mostly find herself walking through the small forest that was on his land.

He bought the land many years ago and she had long since forgotten the name of the town it was placed near. She sighed, putting her hand underneath her chin in thought. Ko- Hmm.. Karu- Damn, this was going to bother her all night, she just knew it-

"Karakura!" She announced the name as it suddenly popped into her mind. How did she forget? It was a town stationed on the western side of Tokyo, the mansion placed just inside of its borders, which gave him enough space so he could have his privacy…

She sighed, while reaching up and running her fingers through her hair. As she did so her head tilted back and she gazed into the night sky. Her mind was once again wondering into the past, as her ghostly form walked through the calm forest.

The fact that she was now dead, a lost spirit wondering the land, mostly escaped her thoughts from time to time. Being dead wasn't all that different from before, really. The only thing that changed was the chain that extended from a hole in her chest. That, and the fact that her Miko powers were absent in this bodiless form.

But that didn't prove a problem for her. She was strong without the use of her abilities. Even in this weak ghostly body, she was able to do physical harm to things, which proved to be quite enough when it comes to dealing with those weak 'Masked Creatures.'

After she died those strange beasts had appeared. They started spewing things like 'I want to eat you.' Or some nonsense. Yet right away she realized that she never seen them before she died, and no one else who was living, besides Sesshomaru, could see them either. So she wasn't sure what they were, other than the fact that they couldn't be demons.

She lost count how many of them her and Sesshomaru defeated in the past 500 years- but it was a lot.

She paused in her light walk and looked around. Realizing she walked far enough, she turned around and started going back. She didn't want Sesshomaru to wake up and yell at her when she returned for wandering off again. She gave a soft laugh. That old demon always got upset over something so small. She huffed. What could possible go wrong-

"I finally found you!" A loud and pleased laugh slithered into her ears, as a large shadow fell over her form. "You smell so delicious!" The creature croaked out. "It took me a while, but I found you!"

Kagome gave a tired sigh and turned around, facing the masked beast. Right away she noticed that it was animalistic in appearance, standing on four legs, yet she didn't care about that. She was more interested in the fact that it looked out of shape. It was breathing very heavily, as if it just ran for hours on end, and it was sweating profusely- She didn't even know these beasts could sweat.

"What's wrong with you, are you sick? You look horrible." She questioned it with a smirk.

"Shut up!" It roared. "I had this guy on me all night- And now that I found you I'm not going to let you get away!"

"Well, I must say that I am impressed." She told him. "You seem to have a better vocabulary then the others I have come across." The others just gurgled out 'food' or something close to it. So finding one that spoke to her in sentences was quite surprising.

"I told you to shut up!" He roared again.

"How rude." She snorted at him. "You should learn some manners."

"And food shouldn't talk!" He replied.

"I guess I'll just to defeat you real quick before you wake up Sesshomaru."

"You? Defeat me?" He laughed. "Fat chance!" He then reached out with his hand, trying to grab her.

She smirked, and got ready to- The beast suddenly gave a painful gasp, and she watched as its body got split perfectly in two. It gave a loud roar as its body slowly disintegrated into nothing and its floating particles got carried by the wind. She raised a delicate eyebrow at the spot where the creature once stood, confused. What was that?

She looked around, as if expecting to see another magic trick, but was greatly disappointed when nothing else happened. What is going-

"Tch!" Someone gave a pissed snort. "Damn thing, had me chase it halfway across town." An irritated voice spoke up. Turning her head towards the sound, her eyes widened at the image.

"I-Inuyasha?" She whispered in disbelief.

"Inuyasha?" He repeated. "Who's that?"

Slowly the image faded, leaving behind the true figure. A man clad in black, with orange hair. Though his posture was the same, an over-sized sword resting onto his shoulders, with a pissed off expression, it was definitely not him- She sighed. She must be getting senile to confuse the two like that…

"Hey!" She called to him. He just glared at her in annoyance.

"What?" He called back.

"What do you think you're doing?" She asked. "He was mine! I could have taken him!"

"Tch." He tried not to laugh. "You? Yeah right!"

"You got a problem with me, carrot-top!" She glared at him. Who he was, and why he was here, she didn't care. She didn't even bother to question how he was able to see her- Right now, she was pissed…

"Carrot-top!" He repeated her words and blinked in surprise. He then growled, a vain showing on his forehead. "Look here-! I just saved your life- Soul- Spirit- Whatever! And all you can do is call me names?"

"You stole my kill!" She stated, while storming up to him and poking him in the chest.

She usually wasn't like this. 500 years had changed her into a more calm and serious person, but this man- She didn't know why, but looking at him pissed her off. It ignited an old flame, that she believed was lost long ago- In fact, she hasn't argued like this with anyone since she died…

"Stop complaining!" He then brought his sword down and stamped the hilt's butt against her forehead. "You should be more grateful…" He mumbled to himself and turned his head away, lowering his voice. "Just go ahead and rest in peace, alright? Gees, trying to be nice and this is what I get…"

"What are you going on about-" Suddenly a blue lighted symbol appeared below her, and her body started to glow. "What's going on!" She questioned while looking down at her hands in worry, seeing that they were starting to become even more transparent than usual.

"I just helped you, so you can finally pass on to the spirit realm, where you belong." He told her, a smile on his face.

"P-pass on…" She repeated in fear. W-what? "No…" She whispered. She raised her trembling hands to her cheeks. "No…" Her eyes dilated and started to tremor back and forth, showing just how freighted she truly was. She tried to move, but her legs were paralyzed. Her knees buckled and she landed on her bottom, onto the grassy floor. "NO!" She screamed in horror, and tears burst from her eyes.

"Hey- What's wrong?" He questioned, while raising his hand towards her in confusion.

"SESSHOMARU!"


A loud roar sounded throughout the area, waking the once slumbering demon lord from his dreamless rest. Snapping his eyes open, he quickly sat up and looked around the room. Noticing a familiar ghostly woman was no longer present, he sighed and threw the covers off of him, getting out of bed.

"What trouble has she gotten herself into now?" He questioned while walking towards the balcony and going outside. "That woman, she purposely finds ways to infuriate me…" He slowly scanned the area with his piercing golden orbs. "I would kill her myself, if she wasn't already dead."

Of course… he meant that in the kindest way possible- Or not…

"…" He then gracefully jumped off the railing and landed onto the grassy floor below. Not even bothering to change out of his Pajama bottoms, he ran through the forest as is, shirtless, and extremely irritated form being woken up from his rest…

His form whizzed by the trees in an intangible blur. At his demonic speed, he was at the area within a few seconds. He paused, glancing around with his cold and uncaring façade.

"Hmm…" He thought for sure the sound originated from this location-

"SESSHOMARU!" Kagome's horrified shrill thundered into his ears. He quickly whipped his head in the direction.

"Kagome…" He whispered her name and flew towards the noise, his eyes pulsing red.

Seeing a blue-ish glow shining ahead, he sped up, bursting through a thin wall of brush. What he saw made his cold heart cease beating, and his eyes widened in surprise.

"Kagome!" He called for her.

Her head shot up, and she looked towards his direction. Tears were tumbling down her eyes in waves, and what was still visible of her body was shaking in fear- As she was slowly disappearing into nothing.

"Sesshomaru!" She shouted to him franticly, while stretching her hand out for him.

He was by her side in an instant, and reached out to touch her. Yet his hand went clear through her body, and on contact it burst into tiny particles of light. He watched helplessly as they slowly floated into the air, and the blue symbol disappeared from the ground.

"…!" His eyes turned into slits, as they stared at the spot where she once was.

A small shifting by his side caught his attention and he spun around, hoisting the man by the throat. The orange haired man gasped in surprise, and raised his hands, gripping his wrist, a failed attempt to try and free himself from his hold. Sesshomaru just dug his claws deeper into the man's neck mercilessly, while he growled, fangs slowly enlarging.

"Foolish human!" He hissed out. His eyes bleeding into red from rage, his control slowly slipping away- "What have you done!"


Story Note: Hey guys, ShadowFoxMoon here. I know I usual don't have multiple multi-chapter stories going on at the same time, it's not my style, but I thought I would do something different.
