I do not own Inuyasha/Bleach. Just the plot. Don't forget to R&R and tell me what you think :D

Outside the Kurosaki clinic

"oh, who's that?"

The orange haired soul reaper looked over his shoulder to see who his friend was staring at for quite a while,

"She's pretty…wait, no, she's really beautiful."

Ichigo lowkey scoffed and shook his head at his friend with his remarks. "I haven't really paid attention…besides, what the hell are you doing here.." He lifted a box and turned his body towards his friend, giving him a 'you need a life' sarcastic look.

"…shouldn't you be scouting Hollows?" Ichigo looked at him 'as a matter of fact'

His red haired friend was in town due to reports of a hollow that reached the soul society. Renji shrugged his shoulders and laughed, "What? I can't visit an ugly friend once in a while?"

Renji said sarcastically before jumping down from the stone wall he was sitting on and decided to help Ichigo by grabbing another box of medicine that had just come in. Ichigo noticed his actions and smiled, unnoticed by his friend as he was still eyeing a girl across the street.

"No, now go away." The soul reaper rebutted, unphased. He was used to Renji stopping by and their insults towards each other was how they showed their friendship.

Ichigo couldn't help but also glance at the girl his friend was talking about, "Mmmm…Now that I think about it. I think she's new in town. She must be our new neighbor."

Ichigo eyed his new neighbor on the other side of the street, who was kneeling, facing her back, shuffling around some items in the box. The only thing they could see was her slim figure and long raven-blue hair.

He immediately looked away. Feeling uncomfortable as he realized that he was staring too much and the fact that his eyes started wandering. Renji didn't care, he was staring away.

"Well, obviously she's new. Hardly anyone around here looks like her…" Renji added before joining Ichigo, who shot him a 'lets go inside' look.

"If you really wanna meet her, let's wait for Orihime to befriend her…We're not really good with introductions…Besides, with your social skills…." Ichigo pointed out.

"Shut up….." Renji interrupted as he glanced one more time before entering the Kurosaki clinic.

The High Priestess stood up and looked over her shoulder, she had noticed the two males staring at her since she came out. They were strange characters for her. They didn't look like anyone from her hometown.

"Do you know them? Have you met them yet?" a deep male voice interrupted her before she could think anything about it. Rolling up his sleeves and tying up his long dark hair. He glanced over her shoulders to the two boys and smirked.

He shook his head at how stupid they continued to be. He would think they would be vigilant at all times even when it came to women. Especially with the training they've had acquired while in the Soul Society.

The raven-hair woman looked towards where her male companion as he was making his way out of the house, towards her. She knew the look in his eyes already….

He was asking out of concern and protectiveness, not because he cared about them, cause he knew them.

"No, I haven't met them yet. Aren't you going to tell them you're here though…" The priestess said casually, smiling; she attempted to grab the box but was interrupted as her companion shook his head and grabbed it for her.

The masculine man chuckled and shook his head, "I am not here for Renji or Ichigo."

She smiled and followed him inside, "I think they're just curious as to who their new neighbor is…" She wrapped her hand around her companion's arm as they walked in, taking their time.

"Well, that is none of their business….and entirely up to you kagome…when you are ready."

Kagome observed him through the corner of her eyes as they kept on talking about their encounters in the past. He matured and grew but the same as ever. He flirted but he respected womens boundaries cause he also had boundaries himself. He is kind and fair when It comes to disputes.

The priestess sighed and rubbed her hair with her free hand, "Thank you for being here…." She looked away from him for a split second and pursed her lips, "…AND for keeping my presence in Karakura town under 'control."

A faint smile appeared on his lips, "Kagome, I'll be back in a couple of weeks, I have some things to tend to in the Soul Society…But…of course, it is my honor and an honor to even have you here…"

They both stopped at the door and faced each other as he looked at her with compassion. He would never ever question her abilities or motives. She needed this move. He was amazed at how young she still looked from since they first met and how much she matured.

Raven haired beauty smiled and turned her attention towards her front yard. Her emerald blue/pink eyes carefully observing her new environment.

"Thank you, I love it here." She breathed in and smiled, her eyes then meeting his. Kagome smiled curiously as he chuckled and broke eye contact.

She swore she had seen a slight blush.

"I'll see you in a few weeks then…" Her male companion smiled and pulled her in for a hug.

Kagome melted into the warmth of him. She took this time to allow her body to take in his masculine frame embracing her.

She closed her eyes and let out a deep sigh of relief. His deep manly voice responded with a faint chuckle. He felt her breath on his neck as he gently stroked her hair.

Her guard was down and she couldn't be more happy. It was always tiring having her guard up constantly in the feudal era, even when they were just 'camping.'

"Thank you….Shunsui."
