Disclaimer: I do not own anything in this story, except possibly the plot...although, of course, many other people have used this idea too. I wonder why I never saw one of these as a crossover...
A/N: This is my first crossover. I don't know how far it'll go, as I'm making it up on the spot. I know it's short, but it's a prologue chappie. Anyways, the more you review, the farther it'll go, and the longer I'll make my chapters! Please Review!
Edit: This has now been Beta-ed by Crazy idiot who is really Herman. Thanks a lot! X3
Rain pounded the windshield, unrelenting. It had been the same for the past few days, so why would today be any different, especially when it was the beginning of autumn.
Kagome sighed from the driver's seat. Her least favorite driving weather, and her stuck on a washed-up country road.
"Just my luck," Kagome leaned over to turn up the radio. Hikari, the song that was currently playing, began to echo through the vehicle. "At least the radio is still working."
Kagome glared at her beat up red Toyota Nova. The paint was peeling, the window blades needed changing, it was running low on gas...Kagome was surprised that it was still holding up.
Hikari finished, and a new song began to play. Kagome listened and determined that it was a pretty fun song. Her fingers began to tap on the steering wheel, keeping in tempo with the fast paced song.
Her mind began to wander slightly. She began to wonder if her best friends, Sango, Kikyo and Rin, were still out with their respective boyfriends or not. She remembered that Sango and Miroku were out at a dance club, Kikyo and Koga were at a movie...probably...maybe...okay, probably not. Rin and her new husband should be in Mexico still, as they were newlyweds and still on their honeymoon.
Her mind then traveled to the amazing wedding that they had.
Flashback
Kagome, wearing a spaghetti-strap lavender dress and carrying a bouquet of sterling roses, walked down the aisle. She was the only bridesmaid that walked alone. After a long and exhausting fight with her best friend, Rin, she felt a great triumph. After all, it was rare and far between that anyone could win a fight with the raven-haired model.
Kagome turned to the left, and walked up the stairs to stand by the priest and await the others.
Sango and Miroku were next, Sango wearing a strapless, pale blue gown. The skirt was the latest kind, that of a rag style, and she wore fingerless gloves to complete her ensemble. It had taken Sango far longer to convince her cousin to allow the gloves, but in the end, Rin gave in. Miroku looked smashing in a midnight-blue tux.
The parted at the staircase, Sango detangling her blue carnations from Miroku arm.
Kikyo and Koga were next. Koga looked very annoyed, and Kagome giggled at his tux. Kikyo had almost strangled him, trying to get him into his pale yellow outfit. He heard the giggling and looked up, giving Kagome a look that reminded her of a lost puppy. Kikyo saw this and lightly hit him with her daisies. Her sunshine halter dress floated with her movements.
They, too, came to the staircase and parted, Kikyo scrambling to pick up her trailing skirts.
Next, and probably the best looking according to Kagome, was Rin's childhood friend and current flower girl, Yukina. Yukina's dress was a sea-green, off-the-shoulders type. Unlike the others, who had their hair down, her hair was done up in an elegant knot in the back of her head. Her escort, the best man and groom's brother, wore a deeper forest green tux. Yukina sported a basket of ferns instead of flowers.
Parting at the stairs, Yukina flashed a smile at her husband.
Kagome glanced at the nervous groom. Rin had, somehow, talked him into wearing white. It certainly brought out his golden eyes, and his white hair helped the entire ensemble.
"Calm down, 'Yasha. It's not the end of the world," Kagome whispered to her friend.
"Yes it is." Inuyasha shifted nervously and gulped audibly. Miroku glanced at him and sniggered, earning a glare from the bridesmaid's. "No more bachelor parties or strip clubs."
Kagome covered her mouth to stifle her laughter as the organ player began the bridal song.
The ornately carved wooden doors groaned as they opened, and Rin was revealed to the audience.
Her dress was a blood red, full skirted, and sleeveless, in opposition to the 'tradition' of white gowns. Her velvety dress was decorated with scarlet glass beads in intricate swirling patterns. The candlelight from the church's chandelier danced off of the beads, giving the illusion that Rin glowed with some otherworldly aura. Her ebony hair, usually kept a side pony, had been curled earlier and now tumbled out of a black hairnet. Her ears held a ruby eardrop each, and a single tear-shaped red diamond adorned her neck.
A slight blush touched her cheeks, and her scarlet gloves tightened around her bouquet of poinsettias. She had her arm threaded through her father's arm, who just happened to be one of the richest men in the world. They started towards the platform, Rin looking like she was floating towards her fiancée, rather than walking.
Kagome snuck another glance at the groom, and smiled at his lightening-struck expression.
End Flashback
A ringing phone broke Kagome's chain of memories and caused her to jerk the wheel to the side.
Straightening the piece of junk, Kagome took one hand off of the wheel to put it over her racing heart. "What the hell!" Reaching to the passenger's side, she dug through her purse to pick up the ringing contraption.
Flipping it open, she pulled up the antenna and pressed the green phone button. "Hello?"
"Hey Kag," Rin practically sang, splashing in the background. "It's Me!"
"Rin, you idiot," Kagome scolded. "You almost caused an accident!"
"Oops. Well, anyway, guess what!"
Kagome rolled her eyes quickly and shook her head. It was exactly like Rin to be hyper for no reason and brush off major things as if they were nothing. "I give up."
"No, you've gotta guess!" Kagome could practically see Rin jumping up and down with energy.
"Rin, unlike you, I'm driving in the middle of the dark, on the back roads, in the rain! You know how much I hate this type of weather, so spit it out!"
"Fine, fine, you're no fun. Alrighty then, gonna tell you now. Yup. Now."
"Rin! Now!"
"Fine, I found you the perfect guy down here. His name is Jose, and he has the greatest ass!"
Kagome nearly dropped the phone as Rin continued to rant. Rin's one goal in life seemed to be to get Kagome hooked up, as she was the only single one of all of her friends. "Rin, you little brat! You know I don't want to date right now, and that I have no time for guys! My job takes up too much time! And, putting that aside, this had better not be all you called about!"
"Oh, fine. But that's not all. Kagome...I'm pregnant! Inu and I are having a baby!"
Kagome once again almost dropped the phone, but this time for an entirely different reason. "What? When did you find out? Is it a boy or girl?"
Rin giggled on the other end. "We just found out about an hour or so ago. And Inu and I want to keep it a surprise, so we don't know what the gender is."
"Congrats! Who else did you tell?"
"Sango and Miroku know, along with Kikyo and Koga. I'm going to call my sister after this."
"Yukina will be ecstatic. You had better prepare for a shopping spree or two. In fact, I suggest you move and not tell her where."
Rin laughed again, and Kagome heard Inuyasha inquire about the joke. Rin moved the phone to tell her husband what Kagome had just said, and within moments Inuyasha's laughter rang into Kagome's ear.
"Inu says that's too true and that if we want to catch her before she leaves for work I have to hang up."
Kagome laughed slightly and shook her head again. "I understand. I'll see you when you come back, 'kay?"
"Alrighty! Adios!" Kagome heard more giggling from her best friend before the line was cut off.
Kagome closed her phone and used her chin to push the antenna down, and threw the phone back into the purse.
Turning her attention back to the radio, the rain began to pick up. Kagome immediately scowled, and shifted her wipers so that they moved at the fastest speed possible.
"Damn wipers," Kagome breathed, as the offending blades began to trail streaks of water across the glass.
Nearly screaming with frustration, when the windshield began to fog up, Kagome leaned over to the radio and turned on the air. She cranked the heating dial to the warmest setting, and then sat back.
To find that she was about to hit something. Panicking, Kagome again jerked the wheel to the side. The animal in question took one look at the oncoming vehicle and tried to dodge, but failed.
Kagome's car hit a patch of slick leaves on the road and her car spun. She tried to brace herself, but nothing could be done. She held her breath and began to pray. Seconds went by, but to both the animal and Kagome, it seemed like eternity.
Kagome let out all of her breath in a scream as her car ran over the creature. A sickening crack was heard as lightening flashed. Kagome continued to spin and went off the road. Her car hit a tree, and she knew no more.
