This is only the preview to a new story I'm thinking about doing. Read and tell me if I should keep going. It's an Utena/Inuyasha crossover and the pairing is Touga and Kagome. Also slightly crossed with Black Blood Brothers( just two or three characters)

Warnings: angst, possible character death
The sun started to set against the grassy field as three children, two boys and a girl who were no older than ten, played around. One boy had blood red hair that went to his shoulders and blue eyes. He wore a cream collared shirt with brown pants and brown loafers. The other boy had dark green hair that stopped just under his shoulders with purple eyes. He had on a white polo shirt and black pants with black dress shoes.
"Guys! Come on!"
Both boys looked to where the feminine voice had called to them. They looked over to where thier female friend was waving to them. She was a very cute little girl, with long black hair that fell an inch short of her waist and golden eyes. She had on a dark blue dress that ended at the knee and had sleeves that went to her elbow. Her legs were covered by white knee-high socks and her black mary-janes. The girl ran up to them and grabbed them each by the arm. She then started to pull them in the direction she had came from.
" It's getting dark. We have to get home, so let's go!" she said, basically dragging them in the direction of their homes. Luckily, they all lived relatively close to each other, so it was easier on them.
"Alright, calm down, princess" said thr green-haired boy. The girl looked back at him, a fake glare on her childish features.
"Don't tell me to calm down, Saionji! You know my grandfather doesn't like me outside after dark!" she told him, stopping for a minute to hit him on the arm. Saionji laughed and looked over at the redhead next to him, who was shaking his head at them. He knew they had to get home, and he was sure Saionji knew it too.
"Stop playing around, you two." the redhead sighed, as he started walking again, " Let's go before it gets too dark"
"Don't be a spoilsport, Touga" Saionji replied as he went to catch up with Touga and the girl, who had followed the redheaded boy when he left.
"He's right, though", retorted the young female. The greenette just waved her off.
Saionji's house was first on the way. Touga and the young girl watched the greenette walk up to his front door before they started to leave.
"Bye Kyouichi!" the girl called, waving to him. He just lifted his hand and went through the door and the other two children walked away. As they trudged on to the girl's house, she asked the redhead next to her something.
"Why do two always call me 'princess'?"
Touga looked at her, " Do you not like being called princess?"
"I didn't say that" she answered, walking a bit faster, making Touga speed up as well "I just asked why".
Touga looked up at the darkening sky for a moment. There wasn't really a reason for it, it was just a pet name. But, he decided to give her a different answer.
"Well...because Saionji and I are the princes and you're the princess. It means that we're going to protect you from everything." he told her, looking anywhere but her face. The small girl blushed a little bit and smiled. She knew that probably wasn't the reason for the nickname, but she liked the answer anyway. It showed that he cared about her. They kept walking until the reached the girl's house, where her older brother and Touga's father were standing on the front lawn, seemingly talking. The girl got a large grin on her face when she saw her brother.
"Big brother!" she yelled, running towards him. He looked away from Touga's father and opened his arms for her to jump into them. He got a barely noticable smile on his lips as he hugged his adopted sibling. Her brother was a handsome 15 year old with red hair and eyes. He wore a grey and black track suit with grey sneakers.
Touga walked up next to his father, watching his friend embrace her brother. He felt a small twinge in his chest and briefly wondered what it was, but then brushed it off as his female friend turned towards him.
"Well, , it looks like it's time for these two to come inside" both kids groaned as Mr. Kiryuu agreed.
"Relax. You'll both see each other tomorrow." Mr. Kiryuu told them, leading his son to the gate. Touga looked back to see the girl waving at him.
"See you tomorrow, Touga!" she called to him. He waved back as he walked away with his father. The two Kiryuus walked down the cobble-stone path to thier home, when Mr. Kiryuu stopped his son.
"I noticed something about you, Touga" he started. After seeing his son's slightly confused look, he continued "I think you may have a crush on your little friend. Am I right?"
Touga got a slight blush on his face and answered his father "I-i don't know. Maybe I do." The Kiryuu patriarch narrowed his eyes when he saw his son blush. He didn't like Touga hanging around that girl. She was distracting him from more important things. Touga was the hier to the Kiryuu name, and he had a lot to learn. That girl was getting in the way of things.
"Maybe you shouldn't be around her so much, son"
"Why shouldn't I?" Touga asked his father. He didn't understand why his father said something like that.
"It just seems like you see too much of her. All I'm saying is that you should start thinking about what's important." Mr. Kiryuu replied as he and his son continued home. Touga thought about his father's words, What did mean by 'important' ?
, on the other hand, was thinking about what he was going to do about that girl. If Touga continued to spend most of his time with her, then all of his plans for his son would go to waste. He needed to get rid of that girl. The problem was, he didn't know how he would accomplish that.
The next day, Saionji had went over to Touga's home, and suggested they go and pick up the female of thier group. A suggestion that Touga agreed to. As they walked down the stone path, Mr. Kiryuu watched them from the window. He had no idea what those saw in that girl. What made her so damn special? As he pondered this, he noticed said yound girl coming to the gate from the opposite direction with her brother. He smirked sadistically. This was the perfect opportunity. If he was going to kill her, he had to do it know, while his son was away and her brother was leaving from the house. She was nothing special when they'd first been introduced five years ago, and she was still nowhere near as special five years later. He watched as she walked up to the front door, knocking a couple of times. He went to the door and opened it, seeing the dispicable girl's smiling face.
" Good morning, Mr. Kiryuu. Is Touga awake yet?"
"He just left to your house with Saionji. You'd might as well stay here. I'm sure your brother saw them and sent them back here." he told her, holding back a grin. He watched her nod and step into the foyer. Little idiot, he thought, a sadistic smirk finding it's way onto his face. She had no idea what she was getting herself into. The Kiryuu patriarch led her into down the hall to his study, after saying that he wanted to talk to her. The man sat her down in one of the chairs while he leaned against his desk.
"Tell me something. You love my son, don't you?"
She blushed, and he knew he was right.
"W-well....I....I might. M-maybe" she said, looking away from the older man.
" Then, that may be a problem." he sighed, moving around his desk to get the knife he had in a drawer.
The girl looked confused for a moment. " W-what do you m-mean by that?" she stammered nervously. He looked at her, an evil look in his eyes. A look that scared her badly. She stood up from her chair and started to back up a bit.
walked away from his desk and finally started to answer her question. " It may be a problem....seeing how your about to lose your life." he finished, showing her the knife in his hand, loving the terrified look that came on her face.
The young girl started for the door, fearing for her life. Unfortunately for her, the older man was a bit faster and managed to grab her by the arm. She struggled in his grip, desperately trying to get away.
"Let me go! Please don't hurt me!" she cried and plead, not wanting to die. " Why are you doing this?!"
The Kiryuu chuckled, turning her around to face him. " Why? One simple reason. I can't stand you. I don't see what my son sees in you. What the hell makes you so damn special? As far as I'm concerned, you're just a regular, stupid little girl who deserves what shes about to get." he told her, his tone getting darker with every sentence.
"Please....p-please d-don't do t-this" she plead, tears streaming down her face as she tried to free her arm from his grip. Mr. Kiryuu just narrowed his eyes and lifted the blade. The girl's eyes went wide and she screamed as loud as she could when the silver blade descended.
"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!"
Blood splattered on the floor as the blade went through the child's chest. Her eyes started to go dull as the Kiryuu patriarch let go of her arm. As she quickly hit the floor, the door to the study swung open as two figures looked in on the scene in horror.
(Touga's pov)
Saionji and I walked to our friend's house, knowing that when we got there, she'd open the door with the cheerful smile she always had on her face. As we neared the iron gate in front of her house, I heard someone calling out to us. We turned around to see the girl's older brother quickly walking up to us, an unlit cigarette in his mouth. Wasn't he only fifteen?
" What are you two doing here?" he asked us, taking a box of matches out of his pocket.
"Getting the little princess from her tower" Saionji said sarcastically. I just rolled my eyes at him, watching the redhead in front of me light his cigarette. I still can't believe he's smoking at his age.
"Why? Is she not home, Zelman?" I asked him. Zelman shook his head, saying that he just dropped her off at my house.
"Oh, thanks. See you later, Zelman" I told him, walking away while dragging an upset Saionji. He really wanted to say that 'princess in the tower' bit to her face. As we got to my front gate, we heard a glass-shattering scream coming from my house. I got scared. Why did that sound like the girl we were looking for? Saionji and I shared a look before we ran into the house. I thought I heard the scream come from my father's study, so I raced there, knowing Saionji was right behind me. As soon as we got to the door, I flung it open, my eyes widening in horror at what I saw. There was my dear little princess, on the ground and covered in blood, her blood. And my father, standing over her, a bloodied knife in his hand. At that moment, all I could do was scream.
"KAGOME!!!"
Touga's blue eyes snapped open as he sat upright in his bed, sweat dripping from his face, panting like he hadn't had a single breath of fresh air in hours. He covered his face with his hands, thinking back to his nightmare. Seven years later and he still couldn't stop thinking about what his father had done. He uncovered his face and reached over to his nightstand, flicking his desk lamp on. The 17 year old then grabbed the small calendar that was on his nightstand and looked at the date. He sighed, flopping back on the bed, covering his face with his pillow. Of course it had to be around that time. September 20, a day he would never forget as long as he lived. The day his father killed the love of his life. His sweet Kagome.
This was just to show my general idea for the story. Tell me if I should finish it from here or a different way. Hope you enjoyed it. Also, I updated on Love of a Maou, so look for that. Please R&R!
