Chapter 1

Kagome

"Run!" That was the only warning I had before a demon crashed into the village. The demon was huge, almost as big as Sesshomaru in his best form and was the shape of a crow. In front of it, the one telling us to run, was Miroku.

"Inuyasha!" I called turning to look at my husband

"Got it." He answered and unsheathed his sword.

"No Inuyasha, run! Even you can't kill it." Miroku shouted over the screaming villagers but he was beyond listening.

"Wind scar!" Inuyasha shouted and swing his sword, creating a light that slashed the demon. It didn't even faze the monster.

"Inuyasha, we need to run know!" I yelled

"I'm gonna get Sango." Miroku called and veared away.

"Right, Inuyasha!" I shout in exasperation.

"What?" He answered as he ran past.

"I can't exactly run in this condition." I said and gestured to my pregnant body.

"Oh, right." The half-demon shrugged and picked me up.

"Hurry." I said as I looked behind us to see the cross getting closer.

"Shut up. I know." He growled and picked up the pace.

"Kagome, Inuyasha." A voice shouted and I saw Miroku and Sango run next to us.

"Where's your kids?" I asked.

"With Kaede. They're hiding in Onigumo's, we need to get you there."

"No, go to the well."

"Why? It doesn't work anymore." Sango argued.

"Just trust me." I answered.

My husband looked at me for a moment then nodded. "Okay."

Smiling in thanks, I let Inuyasha carry me as fast as he could. When we reached the well, I turned to my friends.

"Jump in." I said and they did so without a thought. "Ready?"

Inuyasha didn't say a word as he jumped in, but he was surprised to suddenly be surrounded in a rusty, red light.

"Kagome?"

"No, we're not returning to my time. We're traveling to a whole new world." I told him.

"How do you know?"

"I was told so. You'll see." I answered and the light began to fade. When it faded entirely, we heard fighting above us.

"We need to stop them." I said and Inuyasha jumped out to stand next to Sango and Miroku.

"Kagome, what's going on?" Sango asked as she blocked a sword with Hiraikotsu.

"No time." I said as Inuyasha sat me on the edge of the well. "Try not to hurt them."

Here," He said and handed me Tessaiga. "I won't need it."

"I know." I answered and he ran to join the fight.

It didn't take long to realize that it was going to be slightly more difficult than we thought. The armor they wore was strong and difficult to cut. Only Inuyasha's Blades of Blood seemed able to do it. I hardly participated because of my bloated body, but I did use my priestess magic to prevent them from getting close to me. As I sat there I noticed that the soldiers were slowly backing away. But it wasn't us forcing them back, it was more like... Oh no.

"Inuyasha, Sango, Miroku! Get back!"

Only the humans heeded my warning but Inuyasha pressed forward.

"Inuyasha! Sit!" I shouted and he froze, waiting for the impact. I had removed the beads a long time ago but instinct made him forget and brace for it. "Get back to the well! It's a trap."

That time he listened and stood next to me as I created a shield around us. I was just in time because once I finished, a mist of violet soaked itself into the ground and began to shake.

"Hold on." I said as the shaking grew stronger and then stopped. When the dust finally cleared, we were surprised to see a huge crack in the earth that completely encircled us and stopped right where my shield was.

"Is everybody okay?" I asked and when they all confirmed their health, I turned to face the army, although, army might have been too strong a word. Only ten people stood in front of us, all on horses. One of them, the smallest, still sat on his golden horse and didn't seem to even breath. His face was covered by his golden helmet but I was sure that his eyes were purple.

"Who are you?" The purple eyed boy called. Inuyasha prepared to shout some insult but I silenced him with a glare.

"We are friends." I told him as I stepped forward. "The Mother Goddess and the Green Lady sent us."

"Kagome." Sango whispered. "What are you talking about?"

"I promise I'll explain later, for now just follow along." I whispered back.

"How do we know we can trust you?"

"The Goddess asked me to tell you that Faithful is with her, happy and misses you."

The boy pulled off his helmet and jumped off his horse. "Stand down, they're friends."

Nodding to Inuyasha, I let him pick me up and jump across the chasm. Miroku and Sango followed close behind. When my feet were back on the ground, I began to sway so Inuyasha grabbed my shoulders and growled at the purple eyed knight but there was something off, his voice was to high for an adult and his ears were pierced with amethyst earrings.

"My name is Alanna of Pirate's Swoop and Olau." He said.

"I'm Kagome Higurashi, this is my husband; Inuyasha, my friend Sango and her husband Miroku."

"I would like to ask you some questions but we are in a hurry. A friend is in trouble and he needs my help."

"That's okay." Miroku said. "We'll come with."

Alanna looked at me suspiciously. "Are you sure you can keep up?"

I rolled my eyes. "I'm pregnant not weak. Inuyasha can carry me."

"Alright." She said and mounted her horse. "Everyone mount up."

The other knights did so and I felt Inuyasha's arms wrap around me.

"I don't like this." He whispered. "This world smells different and so do the humans. Especially the one we were talking to. His smell made my nose itch."

"Alanna's a girl, stupid. And she has magic. That's probably what is making your nose itch. It's normal here."

"And how do you know so much about this world? Have you been here before?"

"No, not really. It's hard to explain and it will be easier to tell it when we're alone. I promise I'll tell once that happens."

Inuyasha nodded. "Fine but after that, no excuses. I don't like not knowing what's going on."

"Alright." I agreed and let my husband run in silence.

##########

We traveled until the sun reached it's highest point where we stopped at a large clearing with a string of horses and two women standing in the middle of it. The youngest with curly brown hair stood next to the older black haired woman with awe written on every inch of her body.

Alanna, using only her hand, signaled us to stop but her horse didn't listen, instead it walked up to the awed girl and butted it's head into her chest. The girl crooned to the horse while the woman laughed lightly while pushing the horse back.

"Are you camped here?" Alanna asked while lifting her visor and the woman nodded. "Hakim, this is it."

The brown man that rode next to Alanna nodded and began calling instruction.

"Inuyasha, help me to Alanna, I want to know what's going on."

"You're the lioness?" The girl exclaimed when we reached the group.

"Don't tell me," Alanna said. "You expected someone bigger."

The girl took Alanna's offered hand and the other woman finally noticed us.

"Alanna, who are they?"

"Onua, this is Kagome and her husband Inuyasha. Her friend Sango and her husband Miroku are over there building a fire. We ran into them on the way here after getting your message. They're friends."

At that the girl perked up. "Can you help him? Nothing I do works. He won't eat and he's always dizzy."

Alanna's eyes flashed. "How would you know that?"

"I just do. I've-"

"A knack with animals." Onua chorused along and grinned.

"Is someone injured?" I asked.

"No, an animal." The girl answered and I saw Onua fidget.

"I might be able to help. I know herbs and how to patch someone or something up."

"That's okay." Alanna cut in. "I can do it." And she walked up to a large hawk I hadn't seen before. The Lioness lifted the bird carefully and avoided the splinted wing. The hawk blinked, looked at her and buried it's head against her chest. "good he knows me." Was all she said before carrying him into a tent with Onua following close behind which left us standing in uncomfortable silence.

"I better move our horses away from the others. " The girl said and walked off.

"And I think I need to sit down." I sed as I felt my child give a strong kick.

"You okay?" Inuyasha asked as he helped me down.

"Yeah, she's just restless, and strong. Kind of like you." I answered. "Go ahead, feel." I grabbed his hand and placed it on my stomach.

"It surprises me every time." He said as he felt her give another kick.

"Same here." I agreed

"That wasn't a normal bird." Inuyasha said out of the blue.

"I know." I agreed but didn't have a chance to say anything else before an explosion erupted from Alanna's tent.

"Great merciful Goddess! Of all the gods-cursed, simpleminded-"

The girl gasped and Hakim smiled. "The Lioness has a temper." he explained. "Sometimes she can't control it."

The knight stomped out in tan breeches and a white shirt, at her throat sat a red gem that burned like a warm coal.

"I can't see-" Her eyes lit on me and the girl. "You two, come here."

Inuyasha and the dog at the girl's feet growled, not liking Alanna's tone. That caused the knight to pause and take a deep breath.

"I'm sorry. Daine, Kagome, would you come in please? I need your help."

"With Inuyasha's help, I followed Alanna and the girl, Daine, into the tent. "Daine, Onua says you were the one that found him. How did you do that?"

"Honest, Lioness I listened for him is all. I just listened."

"Would you do it know please?"

Daine swallowed. "But he's right there."

"Turn you back if it helps."

Daine still looked nervous so I grabbed her shoulder.

"It's okay, we're all here for you, both human and beast."

That seemed to work and the girl sat down then closed her eyes.

"I hear him" She said after a few moments. "He says he's trapped but he's just on the bed-"

"Call him Daine. His name is Numair."

"Alanna- maybe Arram's better." Onua said. "He's been Arram much longer than he has been Numair."

"True. Call him as Arram, Daine."

"Why?"

"Call him" Alanna ordered gently and Daine sighed.

"Arram? Arram-come on. You're too far off. It's all right, Arram-it's safe."

Suddenly the hawk changed and his wing brace snapped as he became human. Daine opened her eyes and turned around just as Alanna covered him up.

"Inuyasha." I said as Onua encouraged the girl out. "Get me a long stick and strips of cloth so I can set his arm. Alanna move away, I need to look at his wounds."

"No really there's no-"

"Alanna, I know what I'm doing so get out!" I ordered and pushed her away then began pulling bottles out of my sack that I always carried.

The man looked at me weakly. "Can I get something to eat?"

"Not yet, I need to set your bones and that will make you sick. No point in giving you food that you'll waste. But you can drink this." I said and put one of the vials to his lips. "It will dull the pain and flush out the poison."

"Was that Alanna you ordered out?" He rasped not yet trusting me.

"Yes, now drink." I answered and he did.

"I think it killed me." He coughed as I put the empty vial back.

"If it did you wouldn't be talking now hush."

Inuyasha walked in and handed me a large stick that I used to splint his arm.

"That should do it." I said. "Do you hurt anywhere else?"

"Just my pride. Thank you."

I need and let Inuyasha help me up. "Get some sleep. I imagine Alanna has a lot of questions for you."

Arram chuckled lightly then fell into a deep sleep. When we left the tent I was surprised to see Alanna standing in my way.

"Why did you kick me out?" She demanded. "I have the Gift. I could have counteracted the poison."

"And waste it on something I can do? Trust me Alanna this is better." I said and walked over to the fire Sango and Miroku were at.

"Okay Kagome." Miroku said as we sat down. "We waited, we're alone and we're together. What's going on?'

I sighed and looked at them. "Alright. It started with a dream."

I am really, really indulging myself by publishing this chapter. I am working on three other stories and I should really be focusing on them but I was so excited about this one that I decided to put it out anyways. I actually got this idea of another fanfic that was this kind of crossover. I really loved it and am sad to see that it hasn't been updated since 2013 so I decided to do one to. This starts in a completely different area than from the other one so I'm not copying. Anyways I hope you like it and please review. It really means a lot to me and motivates me to work on it. Also look at my other books. I'm kind of stuck on them but I'm working on it.
