Disclaimer: Yeah I know I don't own Inuyasha or the Transformers, so all you lawyers just back up!
Alright so this is my first crossover fic between Inuyasha and the Transformers:
the movie. It was just an idea floating around in my head and as I had read a very teeny tiny amount of Kagome/Transformers fic's and I absolutely enjoyed the concept of her with one of them.
So this is my contribution. I know you guys are probably saying 'what the…' but just give it a chance, hopefully it'll be good.
Though I do apologize for any grammatical or spelling errors as there is no beta for this story…though if someone is interested and knows the transformers 'lingo' drop me a PM.
And a thanks to AmIOtaku for reading it before hand and encouraging me to continue….and to Salty. for her daring first fic's with Kagome and the Transformers…they're great!
Er…one last quick note No I am not abandoning my other fic's I will update those very soon!!
OH…it is rated T for now but I will be upping the category to an M soon. Anyway…
PLEASE REVIEW AND TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK!
Ch. 1 Assimilation
Kagome sat at the bottom of the well. Tracks of tears marred a trail down her dirt covered face marring the sooty texture of grime and dust along their path. Her heart ached and she remained rooted to the soil covered bottom of the ancient portal that had now been sealed for all time. Unmoving except where her chest heaved great big gulps of air as she whimpered and wept with her loss, she remained where she was throughout the night uncaring of the cold that bit into her skin making her shiver and wrap her arms around herself.
The young raven haired woman knew that this time, and without a doubt, she had lost them. All of them, her friends, her family. The jewel having been completed, had returned to her body and merged with her being once more. Although the evil hanyou Naraku had not been killed when the jewel had been put back together, his only chance at making a wish upon the jewel, thus granting himself unimaginable power, had been taken with her to her proper time.
While immediately sensing something strange was happening once the shards had all been gathered, the priestess made her way towards the well and noticed that the magic seemed to be fading. Crying out in alarm she had said goodbye to her family, to her kit, her sister, her mentor, and her best friend. Once the portal had returned her to her home, the magic had faded completely. She had tried, many times in fact, to activate the well that would return her, yet nothing came of it.
With no other way to describe it, other than her heart had been ripped from her chest and left behind five hundred years in the past, she sobbed, broken and destroyed. Fresh tears began to flow down her pale cheeks as she remembered the incredulous and inconsolable faces of her family. Yes her family. Having spent so much more time with them -more than her own flesh and blood, she came to realize that they were indeed her family, created through a bond no other would understand. And now that they had been taken from her, it seemed she would have nothing to sustain her throughout the coming years of her life, but her memories.
So she remained in the well, hiding away from her mother, grandfather, and brother….and from a world where she no longer belonged.
1 year later….
Kagome Higurashi walked through the hallways of her new high school. Her face impassive and void of any expression. Hearing the whispered rumors already going around the student body, she wondered how they had garnered such information in the first place. Were they looking up her file, her history on the internet? She contemplated anger simmering just below the facade of indifference. She could hear the females speculating as to why she had attended so many different schools in the past year, many coming to the conclusion that she must've been some kind of slut, sleeping around with the males of the school. While the males seemed to be checking her out wondering if she was some sort of 'bad girl' who had been kicked out for having affairs with her teachers, commenting on her beauty and body.
'Coming to America was such a waste of time. They're the same here as they were in all of my other twelve schools. At least they don't seem to know I live alone.' She thought with unrevealing emotion.
This was her thirteenth school. She thought bitterly. After having serious physiological and depression issues, her mother had thought to send her to a new school whereby she would hopefully forget about Inuyasha and all about the feudal era. Having no luck, she seemed to only worsen, her grades dropping as well as her interest in school altogether. Her mother became quite frightened when Kagome began to distance herself from those she knew, including her own family. They just didn't understand what she had gone through and what she had lost.
On her grandfather's request, her mother had sent her to a few different relatives throughout Japan hoping that a new school and a new atmosphere would help her forget about her pain and her loss.
She still remembered how fed up her mother had been with her loss of interest, not only in school, but in everything, in life itself. Desperate to reclaim her daughter and send her as far away from Japan -thus the memories of anything to do with the shikon and demons- in a last attempt had sent her to America.
So here she was in this average city, having been given an allowance to live alone and work out her issues. It was apparent that she and her mother had lost their familial connection and she had finally sent her away to deal with everything on her own.
Walking into history class, she sat down next to a beautiful raven haired girl and an interesting boy that seemed to be her boyfriend. He was rather cute in a friendly -but not for a boyfriend- sort of way. His wavy black hair only added to his 'cute charm', Kagome noted.
Her eyes looked around the room and though many students stared back at her, she avoided their gazes, hoping they wouldn't continue to be intrigued by the new Japanese student.
"Hey."
A male voice interrupted her inspection of the classroom and she turned to look at a very handsome blond haired boy sitting beside her.
"So you're pretty damn hot. Wanna go out or something?" He asked crassly smiling seductively and pretty self confidently believing she would jump at the chance presented to her.
"I'll take the 'or something.'" She answered turning to look away from him and rudely dismissing him.
"Just like that huh?" He continued looking over at his friends seeing them snicker with his shot down.
Kagome didn't bother to reply as the teacher walked into the room at that precise moment, though she did notice the pretty raven haired girl turn and give her a small smile.
The rest of the day seemed to drag on, and while she did have a few more classes with the girl and her boyfriend -which she later learned were named Mikaela and Sam, the day was still so monotonous and so uninteresting; just like all her other schools.
While she was no longer angered that she was not allowed to return to the feudal era, she was still saddened that she had not been able to get over that fact and continue to live her life. She knew her friends would not want her to waste away in depression and boredom. But really what could compare to such thrilling excitement? Yes it was rather hard on her and having to constantly be running for her life was not always a picnic either, but she still enjoyed the adventure, the exhilaration of living day to day.
Walking out of the building at the end of the school day, the miko sighed wearily. Perhaps this quiet unassuming city would be her new start in life. She could get herself a job somewhere. She was pretty good with computers and technology. She could even fix things, as she often fixed Souta's different game systems and had even fixed a few of her 'used to be friend's' computers.
She almost bumped into someone when the guys ahead of her suddenly stopped. She stepped around them and kept walking only to hear them whistle and make comments about her ass as she passed them by.
About to turn around and let them have a piece of her mind, another female voice suddenly piped up.
"I knew you were just some horny immature boy Trent, unfortunately locked away in the body of a man. How sad."
"Oh don't be jealous my little bunny. Just because she's twice as hot as you doesn't mean I don't have enough love to go around for both of you." He said while rocking his hips forward emphasizing his 'love.' "But its okay, go back to your little boy toy. Since he has a car, I'm sure he thinks that can make up for what he lacks elewhere." He ended with a loud hoot, as his buddies joined in the amusement.
Kagome noticed the girl Mikaela simply ignored the fool and turned to her with a warm smile. "Hey, don't listen to him. He's just doing what stupid ex-boyfriends do best….make an ass out of himself."
"Hey Mikaela…you okay?" Asked the boy known as Sam who now came to accompany them as they continued to walk down the sidewalk toward the parking lot.
"Yeah sure, I'm fine. I was just taking to…" She hesitated waiting for the other blue-eyed girl to answer.
"Kagome." She responded not really trying to be rude, but not trying to be too forthcoming lest they think she wanted to make friends or something.
"Well, I'm Mikaela and this is Sam." She said introducing them with a wave of her hand.
Kagome continued to walk with them toward the row of cars parked in a neat row, when she suddenly felt her miko energy spike in a way that she had not felt for over a year now. Stopping beside a yellow and black camaro, she felt her aura rise up again, and even stronger this time.
Looking around in trepidation and confusion, all she saw were rows of cars and students filling into them. Though as Sam asked if she had a ride home and opened the door to his car, the unknown signature became even more pronounced. She looked at the car, narrowing her eyes at the suddenly strange feeling that were overcame her with its nearness.
The boy Sam cleared his throat trying to get her attention, then motioned for Mikaela to get in telling her that they had a friend waiting for them across the street that they were going to follow to 'their spot.'
Kagome snapped out of it pretty quickly feeling really stupid for thinking that there was a youkai or something hiding in the car. As far as she knew she had never felt any in her time and in all of Japan. It must've of been something else, she thought with renewed sadness.
"Umm yeah sorry about that, I don't need a ride or anything. Thanks though." She answered already walking away, noting how they both got into the car quickly as if really only offering a ride if it was absolutely necessary.
She walked across the street ignoring everyone once again. Suddenly the strange sensation returned to her aura as she walked toward the end of the street. Noticing a beautiful blue and red semi-truck parked along the end of the school zone, she looked around noting nothing out of the ordinary; though the truck had garnered her attention, its slick flames painted over the sides and its smooth exterior seeming to want to be touched.
Walking over to it and looking around to make sure its driver was not present, she ran her fingers along the strange symbol that stood out above the grill, then pressed her entire hand upon the shiny metal itself. An unexpected jolt of electricity suddenly ran through her hand at the contact, the sound of a voice suddenly manifested itself in her mind, as if someone was speaking to her from far away and although it was indistinct and muffled the strange voice laced itself through her aura making her shiver with the sudden exchange.
Kagome quickly pulled her hand away as if she had been burned and held it to her chest securely. She hastily walked away unsure of what had just occurred and not wanting to get into any sort of trouble….or danger. Yes she had missed the excitement -and fright- of so many near death experiences, but she had been with her protector then, a sword yielding inu hanyou who always protected her from everything…and well she also had the rest of her friends who always watched out for her as well. Kagome had even been able to wield a bow and arrow, but here…in the modern times and in America no less, it was unheard of to be walking around with a weapon of any kind -unless you wanted to go to jail of course.
So it was best to just leave and think about what just happened from the security of her apartment.
She continued to walk down several blocks that were busy with traffic and commerce. Much to her annoyance, she was getting whistled at, and several men had even stopped and asked her if she needed a ride -even going as far as hinting at a different ride all together.
She wasn't too shocked though. This happened in Tokyo as well, although not as often as it was happening here. Kagome knew she had grown up since leaving the feudal era -in more ways than one. Yes her body had taken on more of a womanly shape, a small waist, bigger breasts, wider hips, and while all that traveling and fighting had also shaped her up making her muscles toned and her skin sun kissed. Her mind had also 'grown-up' much more than a regular and normal teen her age; having to deal with so many dangerous and life-threatening situations on an almost daily basis did that to a person. Though, the more she thought about the more she thought that perhaps that hadn't been the case with Inuyasha -he always acted like a spoiled child.
She giggled remembering his temper tantrums.
Deciding to take a shortcut through one of the ally's -yes she knew it was mildly dangerous, but this was the middle of the afternoon, people where everywhere and the alley was not dark so she took her chance. Her apartment wasn't the best around but it was in a decent neighborhood and she was only a block away.
Shouldering her school bag to a more comfortable position, she made sure to look around, not wanting a dog or something to come out of nowhere and try to bite her. She almost laughed again. She couldn't believe she was more worried about a dog biting her than a potential mugger coming out from behind some trash can or something.
Almost at the end of the alley now, she noticed a police cruiser beginning to slow down and finally come to a stop before her.
'Great,' she thought humorlessly, 'he's probably going to give me some lecture on the dangers of alley ways for a young girl like me.'
The sudden agitation of her aura caused the young woman to look around her in confusion once more. Could there be something wrong with her? She wondered unsure of these strange new sensations she was beginning to feel this day. She had already been in America for about a week before starting her new school, and in all that time she had never once felt this way.
Feeling slightly disoriented she placed her hand upon the hood of the car to regain her equilibrium and steady herself. At her touch, her senses reeled, the same strange exchange took place, yet this time it was to a much lesser degree and she didn't hear a voice speaking, but some strange deep resonance echoing through her mind giving her one killer headache.
She looked up to find the peace officer stare at her oddly, though making no move to get out of the vehicle.
Feeling his questioning stare upon her, she felt rather stupid and slightly embarrassed at his obvious perusal of her as if he were contemplating taking her in for questioning. Flashing him a somewhat timid and small smile she quickly gathered herself and walked away. If he was still thinking about getting out and talking to her, it was best to just leave now before he could. She didn't think she could possibly make it through a lie detector.
Finally making it to her small apartment, she locked herself in and took out a couple of aspirin for her headache. She was prone to migraines and she could almost feel one coming on.
Groaning, the young woman threw herself upon her soft bed and decided that rest was definitely in order. Pulling a cover over herself, she soon feel into a dreamless sleep.
After showering and dressing, and eating her usual toast and juice for breakfast, Kagome made her way down the stairs to the first floor of her apartment complex. Having thought that perhaps her body was overtaxed with all of her previous emotional stress and depression, she had come to the conclusion that her mind and her holy powers were malfunctioning. It was safe to say that she had not spotted any youkai, even if they could have possibly been using some sort of magic spell to cover up their real identity.
Perhaps, America was going to be good for her after all, mused the Japanese woman. She had already decided to try to put her past behind her and start anew. No one knew her here; no possibility of running into someone who knew what she was like before she had gone to the feudal era, and who would compare her to what she had now become.
Besides she knew Inuyasha and the rest of her family would not want to see her waste away and have her soul slowly die out with regret and longing for what could never be.
Maybe, once she found herself a job, she could even find a couple of friends to actually hang out with. Well…perhaps it was too soon for friends but she could at least consider being a little bit more sociable, she could even….
The miko trailed off. Having cut across the alley way once again, without incident, she came to a stop at the sidewalk noticing the same Peterbilt semi she had just seen yesterday parked a few cars away.
Looking around her discreetly, the miko didn't see anyone in, or around the truck. Could this trucker guy be following her or something? She briefly wondered at the chances that this could just be a coincidence.
Walking slowly over to the truck and taking another look around, noting nothing out of the ordinary, she placed her hand only inches from its side door hesitating and questioning whether it would be wise to touch it again.
A very curios creature by nature, she placed her hand fully on the passenger door after only a few seconds of deliberation. She gasped; the same electrical shock running throughout her entire body, and while the sensation was not deathly frightening it was unexpected and somewhat unpleasant.
It was the strangest feeling she had ever had and the priestess decided that her hand would remain where it was, this time not removing it until she could figure out what was happening. Well…that is until she felt as if the truck shuddered beneath her soft touch… then she yanked her hand away immediately.
Swallowing several times, trying to get her heart back into a steady rhythm, Kagome stepped away from the semi. Deciding that all the pills she had been forced to take for her depression and emotional and psychological distress were finally getting to her. They have to have had a hand in causing her aura to crack and her mind to hallucinate. There was just no way that she could be hearing strange unidentifiable voices in her head.
Seeing and dealing with youkai was one thing but this…this was a bit much.
Deciding to consult her doctor before taking so many aspirin again, hoping she hadn't somehow overdosed with the mixing of different types of medication, she walked away, almost jogging to school in her haste.
Kagome almost laughed then. She really was becoming slightly insane. This was the first time in over a year whereby she was actually hurrying to school and running towards it, instead of away from it.
Well, at least it was a change for the better she thought cynically, it was her last year in high school after all.
Classes continued much the same way as they had the day before. The only difference seemed to be that the boy Sam seemed to be looking at her more often which made her slightly uncomfortable. Perhaps he had heard some of the rumors about her now too?
She decided to go off campus for lunch that day, still too uneasy with the student's constant starring and whispering, to eat in the cafeteria.
Though she had no car -being used to walking anyway- she made her way to an old-fashioned burger place a couple of blocks down.
She almost turned around and went somewhere else when she saw the same blonde guy who had tried to ask her out standing there beside his black hummer talking to what seemed like the rest of the football team.
Having already been noticed by him -and everyone else- she walked to the order window and ordered a salad, knowing she would look like a complete chicken if she backtracked now.
"Hey, so Kagome, that is your name right?" He questioned as soon as she turned around from the order window. "Is it true?"
She stared at him not bothering to answer. This guy just got under her skin. And she thought Hojo was bad. Jeez.
"You don't care what they're saying about you?"
She turned her face away from him intent on finding an unoccupied table or spot to eat even as he continued.
She suddenly went pale. There only a few cars away was the same red and blue truck parked inconspicuously close to the boy Sam's yellow camaro.
"You're a real bitch you know that? It really isn't too hard figuring out that all those rumors about you are probably true."
That particular comment garnered her immediate attention making her turn her azure eyes away from the vehicles and toward the now smirking 'Trent.'
"Look, I'm sorry I'm just not into feminine looking boys, and just because you're not my type -I only like males…" she whispered, then continued, "…doesn't mean you can't make someone else happy." She finished just as they called out her order, turning away to retrieve her food, hearing the hoots and howls of laughter from those who had heard her putdown.
Deciding to take her food somewhere else she walked away not noticing the smile upon Sam's face and the soft song that floated through the air as she walked on.
Baby please be mine,
I won't ever let you go
Just let me show you
What I can do for you
Baby please be mine.
"So what do you think Bee, she sure is different isn't she?" He whispered to the car he was leaning on quietly.
Not waiting for a reply he continued. "I still don't know how she could possibly sense you guys though, I mean-" He paused and nodded to an unknown student who passed him by and gave him a strange look. "Hey how's it going?"
Used to some pretty odd looks by now he continued on. "I mean Optimus says that she had somehow connected with him right? That it was like he could almost feel everything about her. I mean don't you think that's weird, be-because I think its weird…and kinda freaky too. But don't get me wrong, I'll keep on eye on her. Not that it will be too difficult to keep on eye on her, I- I mean….come on Bee have you seen her? Just don't tell Mikaela okay. She'll have my head. Anyways, come on…its time to go back to school." He said while getting into the driver's side of the black and yellow camaro.
"Maybe we can get her to touch you too, that way you can tell me exactly what you feel." Sam volunteered after a few seconds of silence thinking it was a good idea.
Another song filtered through the car's stereo making the boy laugh nervously as he heard the lyrics.
Let's get it on…ahh baby…lets get it on.
Don't you know how sweet and wonderful life can beI'm asking you baby to get it on with meI ain't gonna worryI ain't gonna push, won't push you babySo c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, babyStop beatin' 'round the bushLet's get it onLet's get it on.
"That's….pretty disturbing Bee….you know that right?
