Yo, Minna-san!!!!! I've got a new fanfic!! It's an Inuyasha/Yu Yu Hakusho crossover!!! You know....... usually I hate stories with O/Cs, but with this story I had to make an exception! Please don't stop reading because of this!! You'll really like the O/Cs in this!! I've only got two O/Cs, just to let you know. So please read it! I'll try to get to the good parts quickly! Well, thanks to those of you who are going on after knowing that this is kind of an O/C fic. It mostly revolves around the real characters though. Doumo Arigatou to you all! Kurama!! Do the disclaimer!!

Kurama: *sigh* It's no use arguing with you.

Me: Aw..... but that's no fun!!

Kurama: Master Ghaleon does not own Yu Yu Hakusho and Inuyasha or their characters. She doesn't own anything but this story. And some other stuff..........

Crossing paths Ch. 1 "You have a cousin?"

Kurama sat on his bed with a dazed and shocked expression on his face. It was a clear, dark night and the moon was shining through his window. He had just had a flashback about his time as Yoko Kurama. He thought that he remembered everything, but apparently he didn't remember that he had a cousin back in the Makai. They had been so close to each other and he just disappeared without a trace, without a goodbye.

He got off of his bed and went to his window. 'I've got to find him', he said to himself.

"I will find him.", he said aloud this time.

"Find who?", came a deep voice from a dark corner of Kurama's room.

"Hello, Hiei. When did you get here?", Kurama greeted without turning his head.

"Hn. You were so busy looking at the ground that you didn't notice my presence.", Hiei stepped out of the shadows and let himself be seen. "Who are you going to find, Kurama?"

"My cousin.", still facing towards the window.

"Why's that so important?"

"No, not a ningen cousin.", Kurama turned his head towards Hiei so that his eyes were covered by his red bangs, "My youkai cousin in the Makai."

Hiei didn't look shocked, but if you looked into his eyes you could see the clear shock that was there. "You have a cousin?", Kurama nodded. 'His cousin........ how powerful he must be! He must be as strong, or even stronger, than Kurama!'

"I want to come too.", he stated simply.

Kurama turned to face Hiei fully. His emerald eyes were questionable.

"Why is that, Hiei."

"I want to see how powerful he is."

Kurama chuckled. "So do I! He's probably more powerful than last time I saw him!", Kurama turned back to the window.

"If we want to get there, we should go now."

Hiei nodded his head in response.

"Let's go!", the two darted out of Kurama's window and before they got to the gate of the Makai, Kurama had transformed into his Yoko form.

In the Makai, Zuro was, once again, fishing! She looked like he was meditating but if you looked closely enough you could see that she had a fishing rod. She was a Yoko, like Kurama, except her hair, tail, and ears were white. Her eyes were golden and the end of her tail looked like it was dipped in gray paint and she wore a blue top that looked like the torso of a kimono. And on her shoulders she wore chain-mail sleeves that attached to her shirt with buckles She also wore white bellbottoms and a white robe around her waist. And, as always, she was disturbed by a loud noise and fell into the lake.

She looked around for the disturbance and sensed Yoko Kurama's Spirit energy moving away from her.

'Hm? It's Kurama!!!!', she jumped out of the lake and ran at full speed in her kitsune form towards Kurama's Sprit energy.

She eventually caught up with them (She found out that Hiei was with him) and kept behind them, concealing her Spirit Energy, and using the element of surprise. She found the right moment and tackled Kurama with all of her force to bring him down.

"KURAMA!!!!", she yelled as she pinned him to the ground. Hiei stopped to see who had pinned his comrade to the ground and put his hand on the hilt of his katana, readying it for attack. When he saw it was Zuro he sighed disgustedly and let go of the hilt.

"Zuro?" Kurama turned as much as he could and saw Zuro's golden eyes hovering over him.

"Konnichi wa, Kurama!", she yipped excitedly.

"Uh.... Hello, Zuro! Um.... C..Could you please get off of me? I need to move!"

"No problem!!", Zuro hopped off of Kurama and helped him up. Zuro was always cheerful around most people, but no one knew that she was most cheerful around Kurama. She was crazy about him and tried to be with him every chance she got. But she thought that Kurama felt differently. He's got all of those pretty girls in the Ningenkai swooning over him. Why would he pick me? That's what she'd always say to herself.

"So, where are you going?", she was very good at masking her emotions with her cheerfulness.

"I'm going to see my cousin."

"In the Makai?", Zuro was confused. She only thought that he had ningen cousins.

"Yes, I have a youkai cousin in the Makai that I haven't seen in fifteen years! I just disappeared without saying goodbye to him or anything.", He started to run in the direction of his destination. He was getting annoyed of her questions. Zuro kept up with him easily.

"Why didn't you go to him before?"

"I just barely remembered, okay!!", he snapped at her. She cringed and stopped talking.

Later that night they stopped to make camp and replenish their energy. Zuro still wasn't talking or looking at either of them while Hiei and Kurama talked. Zuro stood up and walked into the forest by herself. Kurama noticed this.

"I'll be right back, Hiei."

"Well, hurry! I need to know more about your cousin!", Hiei was anxious to know about this mysterious cousin of Kurama's.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Zuro had found a lake in a clearing and decided to go fishing. She took off her chain-mail sleeves and the robe around her waist. She stepped into the water, the cold liquid surrounded her feet and ankles. She would have gone in further, but she was interrupted.

"Zuro? Zuro, where are you?", Kurama's soft voice came from in the forest. He came out from behind a few trees and looked around the clearing. He hadn't seen her yet.

Zuro stood completely still.

Kurama finally spotted Zuro standing in the shallow end of the lake.

"Hello, Zuro.", he smiled sweetly, expecting her to jump on him enthusiastically.

"Hi.", she said flatly and turned to the water. Kurama frowned and walked to the edge of the lake.

"Zuro,", he began, "Are you mad at me?", Zuro laughed at the end of his sentence.

"Hahahahahahahahaha! Why would I be mad at you?", she turned to him with a what-on-earth-were-you-thinking look.

"Well, probably because I yelled at you earlier today."

Zuro's look faded. "I'm not mad at you.", she turned back to the water, "You're mad at me."

"What?!", he walked into the water so that he was standing next to her and turned Zuro to face him with his hands on her shoulders. His golden eyes were sparkling with disbelief. "I am not mad at you! I'm just very sentimental when it comes to my cousin! He is very special to me and I never wanted to share him with anyone!", he started whispering, "It's a miracle I even brought you and Hiei."

Zuro looked up into his eyes. "Then...... you're not mad at me?"

"No.", he didn't realize how close his face had gotten to Zuro's while he was talking. Now his body took over and he leaned in to kiss Zuro. But before Kurama got anywhere near to doing that...........

"Kurama!! Hurry up! You said you'd tell me more about your cousin!", Hiei's voice broke the silence and the moment they were having.

"Coming, Hiei!!", Kurama sighed. He took one last look at Zuro and walked out of the water, back to the camp.

Zuro stood there, watching Kurama leave. She just recalled what had happened then and fainted. She fell into the water and woke up. Then she just sat there and thought to herself.

"Kurama is not mad at me, he doesn't hate me,", she got more cheerful with everything she said, "He's sentimental about his cousin, kinda like I am with my sister, and he almost--", she stopped and jumped up.

"Hold on!!", she ran out of the lake and back to camp.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

".....And that's his name!", Kurama stated. Happy that finally Hiei was done with his questioning, he hoped.

"Ah ha...... So his name is--"

"Hey, Kurama!!", Zuro came running into camp and jumped down next to Kurama.

"Hey, where exactly are we going?", Hiei looked at her, she had just asked a question that he forgot all about.

"Well,", Kurama sat back and closed his eyes as if he were thinking, "The last place I saw him, fifteen years ago, was...... back in the part of the Makai that ningens live in as well."

"The northern half of the Makai?", Zuro asked.

"Yeah. Why did you want to know?"

Zuro smiled "No reason. Good night!", she ran back to the lake to get her stuff.

"Wait!", Kurama yelled to her, "Why are you all wet?"

"Goodnight, Kurama!", she yelled back.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Zuro was settled down in a tree near camp. 'Yes! We're going to the Northern Makai!! I'll finally get to see you again, Mika! It's been so long............. about........a couple hundred years? Anyhoo, I finally will see my half-sister, my half-breed sister! I can't wait, Mika!'

Kurama was also settled, but he was next to a tree. 'I'm so sorry, it's been too long. Have you forgotten me? Have you moved on? *Sigh* I hope you haven't', Kurama looked up into all of the night sky that he could see. 'Please. Please still remember me, Shippo.'

~How was it? Too long? Too short? Just right? Basically, is it good or bad? I've asked my sister some questions about the stories I write and she says that I have two problems! 1. My chapters are too short! 2. I don't keep the reader's attention well. Anyhoo, I wrote this story after my sis, KHearts (For all of you who have seen her in my other story), told me those things. So I hope it's better! It's gonna be a little hard to update if the Bat Lord keeps putting the Internet down for me. So if I update slow, blame the Bat Lord.

Bat Lord: Are you blaming this on me??

Me: Yup! ^_^

Bat Lord: ^_^ Well, it really is my fault!

Me: T_T I just don't like the fact that you haunt my steps and dreams.

Bat Lord: Yay!! Hahaha!!

Me: You are very hard to get mad, huh?

Bat Lord: Yup!

Me: Shoot........ But that's good! I've never seen you mad and I don't want to. I bet you don't look cute when you're mad.

Bat Lord: *Grins widely* But I'm always cute!

Me: True. But cutest when you go psychotic. Anyhoo, Buh-Bye minna-san!! Please R&R and tell me what you think!! I love your reviews, Keep 'em coming!~ Legop-- Dangit!! I keep mixing up my Fanfiction and Fiction Press names!~ M.G. aka Master Ghaleon aka 1337 |\/|4573r |\/|||
