Well, I've been meaning to write an InuYasha Fruit Basket crossover for some time and since sleep is overrated I decided well why not now?

Kagome cursed her rotten internal compass, in the matter of minutes she managed to the directions. 'And that is why InuYasha led the group for those 8 years we sought the Shikon no Kakera'

Walking past a supermarket she heard the sounds of an argument. Coming closer to the noise she caught sight of a girl around 15 trying to placate a gray-haired guy and a loud carrot top the same age. Kagome smiled at the sight it kind of reminded her of the arguments InuYasha and Sesshomaru would get into when the taiyoukai joined the group the year they defeated Naraku, three years ago. Sesshomaru's icy wit and InuYasha's brash temper were personified in the two. Her curiosity, a direct result of spending all that time with Shippo, demanded that she follow the three. Staying a fair distance back she took in their aura's to analyze, the girl's looked to be a carbon copy of the young ward that traveled with Sesshomaru, 'That can't be; auras are unique to the person, I wonder is this girl Rin's reincarnation?'

Turning her attention to the two guys she stifled a gasp, the auras seemed to posses an animal like shadow that was superimposed over their human auras and not only that the orange-haired man's spirit seemed to house a demonic overtone to it. Reflecting inward on her discovery she didn't notice the fact her steps were subconsciously quickening to the pace she kept when in the Sengoku Jidai. Kagome let loose a small yelp when she suddenly crashed into the people she was following.

Kyo groaned as he tried to stand. Cursing a blue streak he noticed Yuki and Tohru watching the action to stun to move. Kagome quickly got off him apologizing profusely. Kyo froze when he realized the person who had crashed into him was a woman, and he didn't transform. Looking at Kagome he had to admit that she was rather beautiful, long raven hair with sparkling sapphire eyes. His gaze strayed southward to the rest of her body. Kagome snapped, "Curiosity killed the cat so I suggest your eyes stray back up before you join the statistic."

Kyo scowled, "There's not much to see, wench"

Kagome shook her head amused and offered her hand to help the younger boy up. "Name's Kagome, Kitty-cat."

Kyo growled, he was about to lunge at her when Yuki spoke, "Sorry, ma'am, that's Sohma Kyo and this is Honda Tohru, and I, myself, am Sohma Yuki."

Kagome bowed to each and scratched the back of her head, "Sorry about crashing into you but I kinda got lost in thought. Yeah I'm supposed to find my friend his name is Sohma Shigure, is he by chance related to you guys? I lost the directions to his house."

Tohru bit her lip, "I wasn't aware he was having company over, I'll take you to our home and you can see him there, why is it you need to see him?"

Kagome laughed, "I'm his lover."

At everyone's frozen expression she waved her hands in front of her, "Just kidding, me and the pervert, HAH…. I'm an old friend from school and he told to visit him when I came back."

Tohru chuckled lightly, "Come on, Kagome-san"

Yuki and Kyo were standing behind her muttering darkly about jokes that weren't funny, Kagome turned around, "I can hear you, you know. Besides it's an old joke from when the Mabudaci Trio walked the school, I was an honorary member, the only one allowed to touch them."

The three shared a look at that revelation. Kagome chuckled softly, "Those were the times"

Kagome followed the trio into the woods following a well worn path leading to a two story traditional house. The door opened and Shigure stood frozen when he saw her, "Kagome, have you come to grace my bed after so long…wait, where is your friend with the hair, the one who threaten to kill me if I touched you?"

Kagome sighed, "He chose his first girlfriend."

The older man pulled her in a hug, "But she was dead if what you told me correctly."

Kagome's gaze darkened, "Yes he decided he wanted to join her."

Shigure looked at her concerned, "How's the ego?"

Kagome snorted, "Guess, I lost to a 50 year-old corpse, it took a beating."

The dog pulled her inside smiling at the three who were frozen at the information in their head. Shigure waggled his eyebrows, "So now that you're done with a half dog, want to go for a full dog."

Kagome gently shoved him away, "Pervert, say what are Hatori and Ayame doing since high school?"

He sat her down, "They are as well as can be expected, lets have a sleepover, old time's sake. I mean you were so busy with the whole jewel mess, especially when you stayed over there these last three years. You left us three to our own devices."

Kagome smirked, "Yes, I heard about the red light district incident."

The others joined the group sitting beside the two, Yuki looked at her, "What jewel mess?"

The miko sighed leaning back onto her arms, "Those were the days traveling free, enjoying nature to the fullest, living off a backpack and the hospitality of strangers."

Shigure wagged his finger at her, "You forgot the demons trying to kill you, the reanimated corpse, and the hanyou slave-driver."

Kagome snorted, "It's called nostalgia, baka inu."

The dog pouted and came up to her, "But you loooooovvvvvvvvvveeeeeee me."

Kagome laughed and patted his head, "You're lucky you're so cute."

Kyo felt his eyebrow twitch, here was this attractive girl he can actually hold in his arms and she was out of it. "What the hell are you two talking about!"

Tohru looked abashed at the boy, Kagome just waved her concern off, "Sorry, I forget you three don't know the truth, the name is Higurashi Kagome and I…"

Shigure interrupted, "She is a legend in our time, haven't you heard of the legend of the Shikon no Tama and the time it was shattered."

Yuki nodded slowly as did Tohru, it was one of the girl's favorite stories after the tale of the Banquet. "Well she is the mysterious miko who helped the group collect the shards."

Kagome flushed, "Yeah, well it was my responsibility."

Yuki watched the girl hiding his interest in the oddity, "Can you tell us how you got involved?"

The girl's eyes closed, "It's been awhile, I had turned 15 that day. My little brother Souta told me our cat was missing and he was too frightened to enter the well house on our shrine grounds. Being the caring older sister that I was I teased him and found the cat. Turning around to leave a youkai grabbed me and pulled me in. Mistress Centipede as she was called licked me…STOP LAUGHING SHIGURE!...and demanded that I give her the Shikon no Tama. I promptly told her I had no clue what she was talking about and I managed to blast some of her arms off. I lost sight of her and found my self on the bottom of the well and climbing up I found myself 500 years in the past. I ran into InuYasha, my hanyou slave-driver as Shigure put it, was pinned to the Goshinboku still under the seal Kikyou placed on him 50 years prior, when she killed him. I did the obvious thing and tweaked his doggie ears…those ears were so cute. I got captured by the villagers who brought me to the elderly priestess Kaede who tried to see if I was a kitsune in disguise. Satisfied that I was human she untied me and that was when Mistress Centipede came after me. I ran away not wanting the village or its inhabitants hurt because of me. I ran straight to the god tree and this time InuYasha was alive. We didn't get off to the best start; he kept saying things like 'why wasn't I killing the demon, like I did him, of course the entire time he was calling me Kikyou.' I blew up at him, my exact words were, 'Kikyou, Kikyou, Kikyou, who ever she is, she isn't me, my name is Kagome, Ka-go-me.' Of course he sniffed and said I wasn't her because I didn't smell as good as her. The demon caught up and wrapped around us squeezing us to death. InuYasha asked if I could reach the arrow and release him from the binding. I did, he had promised that he could get us out of the situation. The moment I did Mistress Centipede grabbed my side and ripped my side open, to my and everyone else's surprise as I was flying in the air the Shikon no Tama popped out. Mistress Centipede ate the jewel and well lack of a better term turned really ugly, her skin split open and she looked like some deformed monster from a slasher flick. InuYasha took care of her with a slash of his Sankontessou. I recovered the jewel only to try and dodge his attempts to kill me so he could claim the jewel. Kaede anticipating this turn in events placed a rosary around his neck designed to subdue him with any word of my choosing, I managed to flee to the bridge where I tripped and the jewel rolled away from me. He stooped to pick it up and his ears twitched, I quickly call out the first word to mind which was 'Oswari'

"He met his soon to be good friend mister ground and later we became friends, though he was pretty pissed when I accidentally shattered the jewel the two days later when trying to retrieve it from a crow youkai. So thus the eight year adventure began."

Shigure snorted, "So how many times were you kidnapped?"

Kagome flushed and whacked him, "Shut up! I just have rotten luck…knew I should have never told you. But to seriously answer your question, including Mistress Centipede and the villagers, I can recall 11 times."

(My list of the people so far: Mistress Centipede, villagers, the bandits working with the crow demon, Thunder brothers, Urasuea, Miroku, Kouga, Panther Devas, Mukotsu, Menomaru, and Kaguya)

The man pulled her towards him, "I was just kidding, no worries. After all you were the Mabudachi Trio's only light."

Tohru smiled, "You must have had great time."

Kagome looked at her, "So you know about the curse, ne, Tohru."

Tohru looked at her hands, "I understand parts of it."

The miko smiled softly, "So have you guys figured out how to break it yet? I may be able to help you, I have some experience with breaking curses."

Everyone gaped at her. Kyo scoffed, "What do you know about curses."

Kagome stared at the ceilings, "I know any curse needs a focal point and once you destroy said focal point the curse is broken, in Miroku's case, the focal point was Naraku. In my case the focal point were three tainted kakera lodged in my neck."

Shigure turned to her sharply, "You never told me you were cursed!"

The miko patted his cheek, "Oh, dear really? I am so sorry; it must have slipped my mind."

The man fumed while Tohru spoke up, "Um, if you don't mind, what was your curse?"

Kagome hid a shudder at the remembrance of the pain, "It was a curse designed by a dark priestess named Tsubaki using the nearly completed Shikon no tama. It was just immense pain that grew strong when she squeezed the jewel until she would killed me. She also tried to use the shards to control my body so that we could replay the final moments of the Kikyou-InuYasha betrayal. Thankfully, I managed a maneuver Kikyou used when Tsubaki tried to curse her fifty-years ago. Tsubaki sent her Shikigami to finish me off but I flung the curse back at her with my bow."

The group sat silently after the story. Kagome broke the silence first, "Your curse if I see it correctly has to do with the possession of select members of your family with the vengeful spirits from the banquet. It appears you, dear Kitty-cat, have also been possessed by a demon, which I can get rid of right now, if you're brave enough to try."

Kyo snorted and stood, "Lets do this now."

Kagome smiled and turned to Shigure, "Do you have a brush and some paper, oh and some ink?"

Shigure went and got the required materials. Kagome took the brush and dipped it into the inkpot. Gracefully she created wards that Miroku taught her to use. Kyo fidgeted at the silence, "Damn it, are you done yet!"

Kagome raised an eyebrow at his explosion, "Calm down, patience is a virtue and we will need these to secure the room the exorcism will take place to prevent the demon from possessing another's body. We wouldn't want that now would we."

Kyo shook his head dumbly (Not as in stupid but as in surprised into silence). Kagome nodded and turned to the others, "So where can this take place?"

Shigure pranced behind her, "Can we watch? Huh, can we Kagome, pleeeeaaasssseee?"

Kagome felt a small tick develop on her forehead, "I guess if I seal the room properly; we can create a barrier to cover the doorway and leave the door open."

Taking Kyo's hand she brought him to the first room she found, "Now, Kitty-cat, I am going to seal this room and do not move regardless of what the demon wants you to do, you must stay in here."

The others stood outside and watched as the wards she carried pulsed with a pink energy and stick to the walls, door frame and the window frame. Kyo fidgeted, he wanted out of the room, he didn't like the caged in feeling. Taking the last ward she stuck it on the cat's forehead. Kyo's eyes widened as his body froze. Kagome frowned, that should have called the demon to the surface. Then the pulsing of Kyo's bracelet told her the item was protecting it. She swiftly pulled it off and watched slightly fascinated as the cat's true form came to the surface. "Kyo, I am going to talk to the demon to figure out why it's possessing the cat of the legend."

Kneeling so that she was level with the demon she spoke, "Demon, I wish to hear the truth as to why you are here."

The demon spoke and every flinched, all they could hear were hisses and yowls. Kagome nodded and repeated what the demon said, "So you were captured by the spirit of the cat and tied together so that it maybe strong enough to defeat the rat who deceived it? Well, I say it's time you return to Makai (Don't own, this is part of YYH world) and live the life you were taken away from the hundred years you've been tied together."

The demon turned its eyes towards her and tried to detangle itself from the cat's claws. Kagome noted the difficulty and pushed her own spirit towards the two forcing the cat to let go. The demon now stood apart from the still frozen Kyo and watched the miko waiting for her to complete what she promised. Kagome looked around the room and found a sharpened pencil, using it like a focal point she opened the barrier and closed it after the demon.

Sorry stopping this story right now, it's isn't going to be long probably 5 chapters, but, I must stop….mmmm cheesecake.
