A/N EDIT!PLEASEREADPLEASEREADPLEASEREAD Please read this.

Okay, So I like, just reread this, and noticed that chapter one is like, REALLY WEIRD. Like Legit. Super weird. I wrote that chapter so many years ago, honestly. It just contains a whole lot of weird. HOWEVER. After this "I-don't-even-know-what-this-is" The story and writing style DO actually get a LOT better. So PLEASE don't drop this story just because the first chapter is really weird. It'll make me sad. I only noticed because I was looking at the stats and it said that literally half of the people who read chapter one didn't read chapter two. I'm so sorry this starts out so strange, but please don't give up on me!

A/N EDIT EDIT!

So the POV changes a lot in this story, and it's generally labeled pretty well. Not always, especially in the first chapter. But you will see why and who it is, later on. I do apologize if it switches, I generally try to keep it in third-person omnicient but I occasionally switch to first person.

ALSO

Yes, this story contains OC's, BUT they are not meant to be Mary-Sue's or major characters or anything, I just use them mostly as plot devices. And for backstories. Backstories are important. But I won't bog down the story too much with too many OC's.

ALSO ALSO,

Keep your eyes peeled for references! As the story progresses there will be more and more references, but if you don't get them all, that's cool, you can still understand the story without knowing them. I promise :3

A/N I sooo wanted to do an InuYasha fic. I worked really hard on this chapter; it took me about three weeks. I'm writing names with the First-Middle-Last format, to avoid confusion.

Reviews would be greatly appreciated. My review box is open, so tell me what you want in the story! I'm open to any ideas, so send them in! Reviews will be recognized!

Disclaimer: I do not own Ouran or InuYasha, but I'm hoping to become rich and famous someday and eventually own them! Unfortunately, that will probably never happen. But one can dream! X3

I just edited the first chapter so maybe it isn't so weird now...

Set: A hospital room.

Pain flashed across her face. Gasping, she twisted in on herself, contorting her features into an unrecognizable mass of person. An average woman.

"GET THIS FREAKING THING OUTTA MEEE! NOW!"

Well, an average woman during labor.

"I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE SIDE EFFECTS! Give me that morphine NOW, BEFORE I RIP YOUR ARMS OFF AND SHOVE THEM DOWN YOUR THROAT!" The woman was bellowing at all of the staff. There was a complication with her delivery, and she was stuck in a near-constant contraction that hit in long waves. The doctors were scuttling around frantically, upturning furniture as they searched for the correct medications. "I'M WAITING! AHHH!"She yelled, wincing.

"I've got it!" A petite little nurse shouted, upon recovering a syringe that had rolled under the counter earlier, when the flailing mother had accidentally flipped the table on its side. She had wanted a natural birth, originally, but she had caved after about 10 minutes of contractions.

"Inject it now!" She yelled, and the nurse shivered, nervous. This woman was just plain scary. "Darling," The woman panted. "I need you to STAB me with that needle right NOW, or SO HELP ME SWEET JESUS I WILL DO IT MYSELF!" After quickly disinfecting it, the nurse injected the painkillers and sedation mixture into the veins running through the woman's wrist. She finally calmed down, though she still was in terrible pain. Something was terribly wrong here. She shouldn't be this calm so soon after the injection, it hadn't even had a chance to circulate.

"We're losing her! Her heart rate is dropping too fast! Emergency C-section!" Were some of the things that could be heard shouted over the deafening silence of the suddenly silent woman.

The woman blurrily opened her eyes and noticed the nursemaids' name-tag. The woman spoke, slurry now, in a slightly sedated voice. "Linda M-Milda-Yaki, huh? Lady Milda, allow me to th-thank you. I-I just wanted to say-to say thanks for helping me out. I knew that this…child w-would be a hard b-birth. I-I wanted to intr-introd-tell you, m-my name is...Iza...yoi." She whispered, clutching onto the nurses outfit.

"You are gonna be okay!" The nurse answered her, upset. "We are going to take good care of you!"

She didn't even get to see her child before she died.

(Later in the day, Nurse Milda-Yaki PoV)

I lost her. She almost made it, and I lost her. Shit.

I kicked a can on the sidewalk, silently berating myself for my insolence. This is all my fault. If only I had been quicker, we wouldn't have lost the mother. Sure, the child is alright, but I lost the mother! I walked alongside the gutter, having flashbacks to my own quick motherhood escapade. I saw me, ten years younger, laughing, my face free of the wrinkles earned from years of grieving and anguish. I saw the soldiers, lined outside my doorstep to tell me Harold wasn't going to come home. I saw Abigail, my beautiful Abigail, cold and still in the coffin, a result of a rare heart condition undiagnosed until it was too late. I saw my tortured, weeping body, broken from pushing too many hours working at the hospital, trying to ensure other mothers wouldn't go through what I had.

It made me think back to today, to that mother's thin face as she whispered her last words to me. "Call him…*cough* call him…InuYasha."

Nurse Milda, continued.

I arrived home. Home sweet home, I thought to myself as I glanced warily around my 1 bedroom apartment. I felt so terrible, I couldn't bring myself to worry about how I was going to pay this months rent, where I was going to get back the money I borrowed from my neighbor, daily. I couldn't even bring myself to get up when the doorbell rang. All I could think about was the kid I delivered today. InuYasha. He was so cute. But…there was something odd about him. I mean, what day-old already has a full head of hair? I mean, I've seen it before, but not like this. Not down to the chin. And certainly not white. I'll admit, I thought something was odd about that kid, even before I noticed the ears. The ears… They stuck up... on top of his head. Not like any baby I'VE ever seen before. Like a little fox. Or a dog. Or a kitty. They were so unnatural. But…not, at the same time, like they fit him perfectly. It was only when I checked up on him at the NICU that I realized something even more strange. Had he... changed? His hair was jet black, and his ears were gone. Or so I'd thought. Later I found small, perfectly normal human ears on the correct sides of his head. Odd. I swear I remember him looking different.

I shook my head. I must be getting old.

(Scene: A different place)

It was an easy birth. It was natural, no complications. Kun-Loon wanted her birth to be perfectly natural, and it was. She wasn't pumped full of chemicals either. She came out clean and easy. The birth took place next to a spring in the woods. Her mother always liked animals. A forest meadow was a suitable place for birth, she thought. And games. She always loved games. Especially one. Kagome Kagome, it had been her favorite as a child. かごめ かごめ. Kagome, it could also be used to symbolize star. Or light. Such a pretty name. It meant "lost." If she had a girl, that's what she would name it. If a boy transpired, she would name it Akihiko. 明彦. It meant, quite literally, "bright prince." At the moment of birth, Kun-Loon was blinded by a sudden flash of light. It came from everywhere and no-where all at once. Kagome, she thought. Light. Lost. And then she was gone.

(Another different place)

"WAAAAAHH! WAAAAAHH!" The little boy screamed out of his lungs. Wisps of beautiful auburn hair adorned the crown of his head. The birth was over. So why was she still feeling pain?

"AAAAAAAAAARRRRGGGHHH!" The mother yelled as pain ripped through her stomach, and she doubled over.

"There's another one!" A nearby doctor shouted. Her face would have clouded in confusion if not for the pain. Another one? I have a second child? A few minutes later a second baby was born, identical to the first. She named him Kaoru meaning fragrant, and the eldest Hikaru meaning radiance. They had to keep them in separate bins in order to keep them straight. Even the mother had trouble telling them apart. To make it easier, she dressed Hikaru all in pink, and Kaoru all in blue.

As they got older, they grew increasingly close with each other and away from everyone else. They knew loneliness, but didn't understand true loneliness because they always had each other. They always had someone to sit with at lunchtime, a recess partner. But even so they were cut off from the rest of the world.

No one understood loneliness like Umehito Nekazowa. Born the only son of two rich, never-at-home parents, he spent his early years playing with the young blond maid his parents employed. Miyako-Chan, as he called her, (even though she was a maid) died a quick but tragic death one day, after being struck by lightning as she did the family's washing one day. Umehito had lost his only friend. Stricken with grief, he began spending more and more time in his room, isolating himself from his family, even refusing to let the replacement maid tidy up his room while he was in there. He began to linger in the darkness, refusing to come out even for family meals. Though "family" meals usually consisted of him, sitting at the end of a big table alone, with maids scurrying around him doing this and that. Sometimes he wished for a friend. Seeing his loneliness, one of the younger maids notified his parents, who then attempted to replace Miyako-Kohai with a chain of young maidens. Unsatisfied, with his current "friends" Ume-Chan set off to make his own friend, one who wouldn't stay with him only because of his parent's finances. So he crafted a little puppet made of felt to be his forever friend. He christened it Beelzenef. When he was finished, he softly muttered "Watashi no Sukoshi Neko." Oddly enough, this was the same thing his mother muttered at his birth. Watashi no Sukoshi Neko. My little cat.

A/N I worked so hard on this chapter, but it still seemed to be much shorter than I wanted it to be. I'm not sure exactly how this story is going to play out. I know where I'm going, but I'm not quite sure how to get there. The next chapter is probably going to be the hardest for me. I never seem to be able to get the story going. This is the story I talk about in my poll, which would make me very happy if I were to have some votes. Let me know what you think! Until next time-Kisses! ~FanGirl~
