Worlds Collide
A/N; I'm late, I'm late, I'm late again! Here's me running after the NCIS/Inuyasha bandwagon hoping to get a lift. Actually, I'm so late I can't even see the bandwagon anymore. The last crossovers for this were made years ago. So so late.
Pairings:
Kagome x ?
Tony x ?
Ziva x ?

(Pairings mostly undecided.)
Prologue:
Hot tears streamed down Kagome's face, as she knelt before the old well. She ran her hand across the ancient oak beams of the well, reminiscing about a time when things were far simpler. She still remembered the day, the day when it was finally all over. It was a great but terrible day for her.
Naraku had been destroyed, through a combination of the Wind Scar, Meidō Zangetsuha, and one of her own sacred arrows. But it came at a terrible cost. Before he died, Naraku sent a miasma-infected tentacle straight at Inuyasha.
Kikyo took his dying body to hell where he could live with the woman he loved for all eternity. The jewel took her home, and the well had not worked since.
That was three years ago to this day. Time had not healed those wounds, the pain is still as fresh as it was the day she had to leave the feudal era. All she could do now was hope and pray everything turned out alright for each and every single one of them.
She hoped with all her soul Miroku and Sango had long lives, that her son enjoyed his time on earth even with no parents left to guide him, and that even Sesshomaru found happiness in someone else.
But hoping wasn't enough. The burden of not knowing was destroying her inside.
During those three hard years without the feudal era, she had graduated, being able to catch up with the rest of the school despite missing years of her education. She worked at the shrine, unable to leave home, in case one day the well opened for her.
Over the years, she had honed her miko skills to perfection based on each and every scroll they had at the shrine that was useful to her.
She found herself able to charge any item she had with her miko ki, and even make physical embodiments of her ki, like a shield or sword. She thanked kami-sama for her new abilities, wanting to learn all she could about them was what drove her now.
Wiping away her tears, she slowly walked up the steps to the grounds of the shrine. She took a look at the well from over she shoulder, before closing the doors and walking to the house.
Kagome ran a hand through her hair, her sapphire blue eyes scanning the grounds. She frowned that was not supposed to be there.
A sleek, elegant black limo was parked at the foot of the steps to the shrine. They rarely got rich visitors, and when they did, it was usually someone trying to buy the grounds. She shook it off, assuming it was people here trying to buy the grounds.
She opened the door to the house slowly, expecting to find her grandpa yelling at some buissness executive about how they'll never sell. Instead she found her family eating peacefully at the table.
Sakura Higurashi looked at her daughter.
"There's someone here to see you honey. I sent them in the lounge to wait for you." She explained, going back to eating.
Kagome nodded. "Thanks mom."
Sakura just smiled. Her daughter was in for a surprise – a big one at that.
Kagome made her way to the lounge, wondering who was here to see her. Maybe Eri? She stopped dead before the door. What if it was Hojo? Not him again. No, no. She wasn't going back to letting him fawn all over her, enough was enough.
She took in a deep breath, and opened the door.
"Hojo, I'm really sorry but I just don't like-" She stopped, eyes wide.
"How..?" She whispered.
Before her sat two males. One with orange hair and bright emerald eyes, the other with long silky silver hair and golden eyes, both in suits.
"Don't gape miko, it is not becoming." The silver-haired man snapped.
"Mama!" The other exclaimed, a smile lighting up his face.
"Sess, Shippo?" She asked nervously, afraid. They couldn't be – it was over five hundred year ago.
"I dislike that name, miko."
"Ignore him, Mama, even after all these years he still has an icicle up his ass. It's really us." Shippo smiled.
Kagome rushed forwards, wrapping her arms around her son.
"Shippo…" She whispered, tears welling up her eyes.
"The reunion is touching, but we must get back to business." Sesshomaru recited in his cold voice.
Kagome pulled away from the hug, wiping her eyes.
"After all these years why now?" She asked quietly.
"We weren't sure. You never told us the year you came to the feudal era, and we didn't want to create a different timeline by appearing too soon." Shippo explained, putting a reassuring hand on his mother's shoulder.
"But now miko-" Sesshomaru started.
"What happened to them?" Kagome asked, looking his straight in the face.
"Be more specific miko." Sesshomaru glared.
"Sango, Miroku, Rin, Shiori, Jeneji, Kaede and Kirara."
Shippo sighed. Of course the first thing his mother would ask was about them, not the business they were here for.
"The slayer and the monk were married, with three children, Rin still lives, I adopted her into my bloodline, the hanyou's were married, the old woman died at the age of one hundred and fifty, and the cat still lives." Sesshomaru summarised, his gaze unwavering.
"At least they were happy." Kagome whispered.
"They were." Shippo reassured her, nodding his head.
"Business miko." Sesshomaru commanded.
"Unfortunately, this isn't just a reunion mama. Over the past few years, youkai activity has increased dramatically, particularly in the US." Shippo told her.
"If you have not lost your touch, we would like to send you over to America to investigate these disturbances."
"Why me?" Kagome asked, sapphire eyes ablaze with confusion.
"Mama, you're the only miko left. Sure, we have demons, but they can't dispose of the bodies like you can. We can't risk humans finding the bodies, or our demons being killed." Shippo put it softly.
"Why haven't I sensed any demons then?"
"Simple. I ordered them to stay away from you." Sesshomaru answered.
"Ordered?" Kagome tilted her head to the side.
"Do not underestimate this sesshomaru, a lot has changed."
"Tell me everything." Kagome begged.
Over the years, humans became more intelligent. So intelligent they had developed a way to kill youkai. This was a worry for the youkai society, so they went into hiding and put about the rumour the entire demon race had been killed by a plague. They used powerful magics to disguise themselves, the ones that were too weak to generate their own human appearance were either killed or protected by the kitsune's who could cast illusion over others.
They reformed their society completely, with the youkai that lead the most prominent lives as humans in charge. As the decades passed, humans had forgotten about their way of killing youkai, and they in general were thought to be a myth.
Instead of re-emerging and risking their lives again, the youkai remained disguised as humans. The humans of this day and age were smart – they could easily find an even more brutal way to kill them. To stop other youkai from exposing themselves, or creating a mess in public that could result in the exposure of their race, they created their own government to handle and prevent those situations.
They created the YPS, lead by none other than Sesshomaru Tashio. The YPS (Youkai Protection Society) was among the most secretive of organisations ever to exist. It consisted of youkai, those with holy blood (Though there are few remaining), and those that still held the practices of demon slayers.
Any youkai that was attempting or had come close to exposing their race was either given a sanction or death penalty. It was harsh but that was how it worked. It kept the entire race away from humanity. Only those with clearance were allowed to know, and those with clearance were rare.
"And you want me to become one of the agents?" Kagome asked.
"Precisely. You will travel around the world, fully paid, to kill youkai that cause harm to the human race." Sesshomaru told her.
"But, the shrine-" She started.
"Will receive monthly payments from YPS, and you will be allowed to visit home in between missions."
"I don't know.."
"Mama. Please, we need you- you'll always be allowed to visit home, and it's like a paid vacation." Shippo tried to convince her.
"Kit, it may be too much for her. She probably isn't what she used to be anyway." Sesshomaru sneered.
"What? I'm just as strong-STRONGER even. Want to take me on old man?" She challenged, flames practically rushing off her.
"As amusing as that would be, no. But, if you're stronger you'll have no problem completing our missions?"
"Of course I'd have no problem! I'm strong! I could take you both on."
Sakura heard her daughter's shouts from the other room and smiled, her daughter had her fire back. And, she could use that extra money. Maybe the trips around the world would do some good for her heart.
Who knows, she might even meet someone. Then she would become a grandma for real! Shippo didn't count, she never knew him as a child, and she wanted to knit some baby clothes.
Before she knew it, Kagome found herself signing that contract and becoming a part of YPS.
Three months later
Kagome had undergone serious training, and seventy mock missions and twelve real missions in Japan, in preparation for her first mission outside of Japan. Every day at noon, she would meet with Sesshomaru to spar, and today was her final day before jetting off to America.
"Miko, you should be careful." Sesshomaru warned.
"I can take care of myself fluffy." She huffed.
"Never address me with that infernal name again." He growled.
Rin, now a beautiful woman who looked to be in her twenties, strolled into the dojo.
"Hey fluffy." She greeted, waving at her adopted father.
Kagome smiled and shook her head.
USA
Tsuki held her boyfriend's hand. He was on leave, spending the time with her. They strolled through the dark streets of Washington hand-in-hand, oblivious to everything but each other.
Tsuki was immensely happy. She had just gained clearance to tell her boyfriend that she was a cat demon, and an agent for YPS.
Brad Smith was a marine, had been, and always intended to be. Three years ago he met his beautiful girlfriend Tsuki. She was Japanese, working in the American branch of her agency. It was love at first sight for them, and he couldn't be happier.
They were walking back to their shared apartment from an unfamiliar part of the city after a party with their friends. He turned into an alleyway, thinking it was a shortcut.
They stopped in front of a wall. Something about the very air seemed off.
Tsuki snuggled closer to him. "Brad, I think we've taken a wrong turn."
"Me too." He agreed, subconsciously wrapping an arm around his girlfriend's waist.
They heard a loud clang.
"W-What was that?" Tsuki asked.
"I'm not sure." He narrowed his eyes, looking for something.
Then, Tsuki smelt it. The stench of another demon. Another demon that was drenched in human blood.
"Stay close to me." Brad told her, pulling her to his chest.
"Brad, this is something else."
"I know it's scary, but we'll make it through this, I'll protect you." He promised.
"No, it's actually something else, it's.." Tsuki trailed off, her expression turning to one of horror.
Dark, topaz eyes stared at them. It was too dark to see the body, just the glowing golden eyes.
"Monster." He finished for her.
"No, demon." She paled.
The eyes drew closer and closer.
"Kill." A cold, sharp voice commanded from the edge of the alleyway.
A growl was the voice's only response, as sharp claws shredded the couple to pieces.
Tsuki screamed, dropping her illusion.
Brad screamed, pulling her closer,her tail getting in the way.
She felt so happy, in her last moments, that despite her furry appendages he still loved her. She wanted him to see her even in their final moments as the girl he knew her as, and used her last strength to put the illusion back up.
"I love you." He whispered.
"I love you too." She told him, sobbing.
The pain was immense for the few seconds it lasted.
The cold voice laughed from the back of the alleyway.
"Our love is the only true one. Come here." It whispered.
And so, the duo made their way off into the night.
NCIS bullpen
Gibbs strolled through the bullpen, coffee in hand.
"Grab your stuff, we have a case." He barked.
"Grabbing my stuff boss." Tony replied.
A/N; So, my first NCIS/Inu crossover is here. Please note, chapters won't normally be this long and update's will probably be slow.
PLEASE REVIEW!
I would love to know if there's anyone out there that's reading this. If you are please put something just so I do know you exist, even if it's just a random full stop.
