AN: When I feel the inspiration to write, it usually comes in the form of a scene, a sentence, that's so right in my mind that I write it down immediately, then let the idea stew for a bit and fill in the gaps later. And sometimes I forget about these snippets until I'm procrastinating on finals and decide to clean up my computer. That's what these are: snippets. Some are a scene or two, some nearly complete fics minus a few scenes, some so short they're more flash fics than drabbles. All of them I like, I just don't know when I'll ever get around to finishing them (for at least half, I have no idea where I was going), and so I thought I'd put them out there and maybe get some input, or give inspiration to others, or amuse you as your imaginations fill in the gaps. Most of these are crossovers, and most of these have Kagome from IY. All of them are unedited, so there will be errors, notes, etc.

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the shows/characters mentioned in this collection of snippets.

Swoon (IY x YYH, Kagome x ?)

Silence, complete and dumbfounded, filled the cavernous chamber as all the inhabitants looked at the young woman slumped against the inuyoukai holding her upright.

Inuyasha snorted, breaking the silence. "Well, congrats, you guys. Apparently Koenma keeps you guys around for a reason."

"Is she, uh…" Kuwabara began to speak, hesitant, for once, to come forward, "supposed to do that?" He pointed at the girl who had, just seconds ago, dropped into a dead faint at the sight of them. By their silence, the question was deemed adequate by the rest of the group.

"Yes and no," came a deep, long-suffering female voice from one of the side passages leading into the chamber. It was a woman—young, but older than the unconscious one—whose aura spoke of power and station. Koenma accompanied her, just a step behind, in his teenage form. Obviously this woman was important. Kurama motioned for Yusuke and Kuwabara to be silent before they could…be themselves. Not that they appeared inclined to say much; this situation was strange, even for them.

The woman came to a stop before them, giving Inuyasha and the girl a once-over. "Is she alright?"

"Yeah, Kikyou. Even combined, these guys aren't as powerful as Sesshoumaru. She should be wake up by the end of the day."

"All miko can, to varying extents, sense youkai. For most, it's a sixth sense, like seeing ghosts"—she looked pointedly at Yusuke and Kuwabara—"—a chill up the spine, a sense of discomfort, a knowing. Some may start twitching, some experience mild headaches, and some become disoriented. Kagome," she sighed heavily, "is powerful and, unfortunately, very sensitive to youkai, as you saw."

"She didn't seem to be affected by the inuyoukai earlier."

"With increased exposure, Kagome is able to acclimatize to species of youkai. She has known Inuyasha, and his elder brother Sesshoumaru, since childhood, and as such is not affected by them. There are others that she has been able to acclimatize to—umayoukai (horse), koumouri (bat), some elementals—but you know as well as I that the population of youkai we have here barely scratches the surface of youkai species. Kagome's talents are wasted here; she should be serving as an ambassador, forging and strengthening alliances, but we can't afford to send her out with a full guard for every mission."

"So where do we come in?"

"You have to admit, Detective, that you've seen quite a range of youkai while fulfilling your duties."

"So what, we're supposed to be her babysitters? She'll just get in the way! Did you actually agree to this, Koenma?"

"Yes, Yusuke. It's true, there will be a bit of a…learning curve for her, but I've seen her in battle simulations. Believe me, she will prove to be an asset."

"You mean after she stops fainting at every youkai she sees?"

"Only for the powerful ones."

"Great, so it's just the big baddies that we'll have to deal with dead weight."

"Think of it as an extra challenge, Yusuke. I'm not changing my mind. She'll prove her worth eventually, and until then, think of the wealth of contacts she'll bring in next time you have to track a runner."
