Please Enjoy, this is my very FIRST attempt at writing an Inuyasha and Yu Yu Hakusho crossover. Gomenasai if I mess up the storyline or anything. =
Chapter 1: Finding Him
It was pouring down rain as Kagome walked home from school. She sighed and opened her pink umbrella to cover herself from the rain. She had a headache, there had been a rather difficult algebra test today and she hadn't been prepared at all! Kagome was pretty sure she failed…she had after all just returned from the feudal era yesterday for her monthly week off at home.
Even besides the algebra test Kagome had been having a rather bad day. Hojo had pestered her all day for a date for a date (no matter times she had said no!), she had done horrible at soccer today in gym class, and she was still upset with Inuyasha.
Right before she had left the feudal era her and Inuyasha had the worse argument yet. Since they had gotten the last shard from Kohaku (who had gone to travel with Rin, Sesshomaru, and his mate Kagura) completed the jewel… they had done nothing but fight with each other about what to use the jewel for. Inuyasha had wanted to use it to become a full youkai, or, even worse, to use it to bring back Kikyo.
And since Kagome was Kikyo's reincarnation… if Kikyou was brought back to life it was most likely that Kagome would die. She loved Inuyasha and would do most anything to make him happy, but she wouldn't do that.
Kagome wanted to wish on the jewel for everyone that had lost his or her lives in fighting the evil that was darkness would be given a second chance at life. That would mean Sango's entire village would come back, Koga's pack would be revived, Kagura would get her sister Kanna back (Kanna had died protecting Kagura in the final battle as her last will), and countless others would be back. Kikyo couldn't come back if that wish was made, due to the fact that the jewels protector (Kagome) had Kikyo's soul and the jewel wasn't going to sacrifice it's own guardian for a former one.
So the only way for Kikyo to come back is to wish for it directly, hence what Inuyasha wanted; but Kagome refused to wish for that. And so, they had been fighting whenever Kagome had been in the feudal era. She had just left yesterday, after dealing with Inuyasha and tens of tens of demon fights, and wasn't planning on being back to the feudal era for a week. She had been looking forward to it, even though it had meant being away from her friends and her kit.
Speaking of her friends, Sango and Miroku had just been married and expecting a child, even though it had been only a month, her kit, Shippo, was training hard with a elder kitsune, and Inuyasha was just being his ass self.
Her older brother Lord Sesshomaru, he had adopted her into his family, was ruling the Western Lands with Kagura and their daughter Rin. Jaken was with them too, being completely annoyed by the wind sorceress and Rin. Kohaku, like Kagome said before, was with them to. He had developed a huge crush on Rin, much to Sesshomaru's dismay at times when thinking about his little girl. Kagome thought it was extremely cute. Last she had visited them, they were all very happy with each other.
She smiled, thinking of all her family. She almost missed them, but she would see them again in a week. It wasn't like anything was going to happen to keep her here in the present.
Or so she thought.
She closed her eyes, trying to think her troubles about today and with Inuyasha away.
BOOOM!
Kagome's eyes popped open. What was that? She suddenly felt a strong influx of demon energy in the park a little bit away from her current position. Her eyes widened. There wasn't supposed to be any demons in the present!
The young priestess took off running toward the park. Suddenly she saw a huge flash of light in the distance and she ran to that direction. The light died down as she approached the spot.
'Behind the tree!'
Kagome went around the tree just as the light disappeared. She looked around, and groaned in frustration. It was dark (She had stayed at the school later than usual making it way pass when the sun went down) and without that strange light…it would be nearly impossible to find anything none-the-less that demon energy!
She walked a step and felt her foot catch on something. With a surprised yelp she fell face forward into the dust.
'Great job Kagome!'
She sat up and rubbed her face where she had fell. She looked around angrily, what had she…
Her eyes widened as she saw what she had tripped over.
On the ground, there was a boy, who looked around her age, clad in black clothing and has equally black hair with a white starburst in the middle. Her soft brown eyes met harsh crimson red ones and she almost flinch from the pain, anger, and sadness in his.
Her eyes widened as his narrowed at her. She could see a long katana beside him coated in a red liquid…blood. She gasped as she noticed that he was covered in bruises, cuts, and blood. Though she could tell that it wasn't all from him…
He was a demon. Kagome could tell this. This strange man was a demon. The young miko could feel the immense demon energy pouring off of him and she almost felt tears come to her eyes. Not from sadness or fear though, but because she was happy. She had thought that all demons had been killed in the present and none remained. Never before had she been so happy to be wrong.
Suddenly she heard a rustle of fabric and saw him trying to get up, but obviously was in too much pain to get up. She rushed forward to try and help him but was was stopped momentarily at a strong influx of his demon energy.
/LEAVE Onna!/
She almost flinched back. This demon could speak through minds, and most likely read them. She had dealt with those types before, but usually they were a lot more trusting due to the fact to be able to read anyone's thoughts. That apparently wasn't the case with this one.
She approached a step further and saw him narrow his eyes even more, but she saw no fear. She was impressed, most people would be afraid if they were on the ground unable to move and someone comes near. Of course, he was a demon so he probably wasn't use to fear and she didn't find her self that terribly frightening.
"I just want to help…" She tried gently. She knew that anything else but caution would get her severely hurt. After all, that sword definitely didn't appear to be just a decoration; even if he was injured.
His eyes widened slightly but then went back into his angry glare. /Mind your own business Onna. I do not need a pathetic mortal's help!/
At that she narrowed her eyes angrily. She wasn't a pathetic mortal! She was about to have this demon have it when he blinked his eyes and then closed them, falling unconscious.
Her eyes widened and she stopped in beginning sentence. What was she doing trying to argue with him? This demon obviously needed help! She got closer and found him to be indeed knocked out cold. The strain had been too much to stay awake, that wasn't good.
She bit her lower lip. She didn't know what to do! This man obviously needed immediate medical attention but she wasn't sure how to take him home… she knew she would have to carry him. That was the only way since she didn't have a wagon or anything, and she knew that the longer she thinks about what to do the longer he would be in the rain. And rain and injuries and demon or human alike usually do not mix very well.
She tried to pick him up bridal style but despite his small form (not like Kagome should talk, he looked to be a few inches taller than her!) he was a bit too heavy for her to carry that way.
She blushes. This was not working out. She decided she would have to half drag and half carry him in able to get him to her house. Her house was only a couple blocks away but a couple blocks plus carrying someone and already being exhausted from the tons of demon fights yesterday… She shook her head. She wasn't going to back out now and leave this poor, defenceless man (A/n It would be funny to see what Hiei would say to that!) to fend for himself!
She put the strange demon man's arm over her shoulder and picked him up that way. In this position, she was able to carry/drag him and that was all the encouragement she needed.
She carried him out of the park, when she realized that she had forgotten her umbrella and the both of them were getting soaked to the bone. She sneezed as if on cue. She couldn't go back now, so she just ignored the bone chilling rain and freezing wind that had just started. The News didn't say there would be a tropical storm!
She grumbled under her breath, even if they hadn't predicted she should have. Murphy's law seemed to follow her everywhere…
After what seemed like forever she made it to the bottom stairs of the shrines. She gave a loud groan. Why did her family have to own a shrine again? She was tired already, she wasn't sure if she would be able to get up-
The black haired man on her shoulder gave a ragged breath and Kagome found a sudden burst of determination. She began to climb the stairs and ignored the burning in her legs. It felt like acid was burning through all her muscles and eating her away. But every time she thought about stopping even for a second, she remembered the strange man on her shoulder in critical condition and kept going.
Finally, after what felt like eternity, she made it to the top of the steps and dragged herself and the demon man into the house. No one was home. Souta, her mother, and Gramps were at a "Sacred Artifact Museum" in upper Japan and wouldn't be back for another week. She felt a bit sad that despite it being her week off from the Fuedal Era she wouldn't be able to spend it with her family, not like she could help it though. And besides, she wasn't sure she could explain all of this…
She nearly collapsed in exhaustion as soon as she passed the threshold but held strong, walking into the living room. She dragged the man over to the couch and laid him down upon it. He didn't stir.
She almost closed her eyes, tempted to sleep right there on the floor, but she forced her eyes open. She knew she had to care for the dark demon before she could even think about resting. Well, maybe not the thinking part…
She dragged her feet to the bathroom and got a red towel and her medical kit out it, coming back to the still unconscious man. He was still out cold. She felt his skin, it was really clammy feeling but warm. Good, it meant that he didn't have hypothermia; yet.
She blushed at what she realized what she would have to do. With a red face, and not from her rigorous workout, she peeled off his cloak and shirt (Which luckily were almost shredded making it easier for her to get off). She left his pants on; she wasn't sure if she could do that.
She wiped off the rain droplets from his upper body, carefully avoiding all the cuts and bruises. She set the towel aside and began working on all his injuries. She blinked, her eyes drooping heavily; she was so tired…
Kagome shook her head, desperate to stay awake longer. 'C'mon Kagome! You have to stay awake just a little longer!'
She yawned again, and bandaged the rest of his wounds on his body. Most of them were rather serious, but Kagome could tell that most of them would be healed in a few days (A long time in Demon Days but short for Human Days). She especially wrapped his stomach where there was a medium sized hole, as if a large sword had plunged through his stomach many times.
She wearily finished the rest of his cuts. She sighed, wiping the sweat and remaining rainwater from her brow. She was done. Well, not quite.
Kagome stood up, her legs buckled almost immediately but she held strong, and picked up the blue blanket at the end of the couch. She carefully laid the blanket on top of the black haired man and gave a tiny smile. She slumped down to the floor beside the couch, too tired to do anything else. She knew that she should go take a shower and change…
Her eyes drooped. She knew she should go take a shower and…
She blinked. And…
Her eyes closed and she fell asleep.
