Author's Note – Recently, I have gotten back into Gravitation and have become a bit addicted to InuYasha and Gravitation crossovers. A bit sad by the few stories posted in this section, I decided to give it a gander and write one of my own. I hope you enjoy the story, and do not mind the three OC's who will appear in this story.
Pairing: Ryuichi Sakuma x Kagome Higurashi (my favourite pairing)

Prologue
After a long day in the office, Kagome was happy to be home. Sliding off her shoes and white lab coat, she trudged towards the kitchen and attempted to prepare something to eat. "Let's see, what should I make?" She opened the fridge and poked her head inside.
I see that Marian restocked the fridge, she beamed, thankful her housekeeper went grocery shopping. Kami only knows I wouldn't have found enough time to head down there. Kagome worked full-time at the local hospital; she was one of many elevated doctors in the pediatric department at Sakura General Hospital. It was a full time job, and Kagome regularly found herself coming home tired after a long day's work.
It's so nice not to have to walk in those heels anymore... well, at least for today.
A yogurt and apple in her hands, she shut the fridge and grabbed a spoon before heading towards the island counter and sitting down in the nearest barstool.
"Mmm…" she removed the yogurt's covering and inhaled a large amount of strawberry flavoured goodness. "My favourite~" Hearts hovered around her.
"Mommy, are you finally home?"
Kagome's head snapped up. "Yes Maddi, I'm home," she spoke softly. Watching her daughter stumble her way into the kitchen, Kagome couldn't help but chuckle as Maddi dragged her favourite brown bear, Mr. Bear, behind her.
"Where are Kiki and Coco?" Kagome voiced, stunned that the two dogs weren't loyally present behind their favourite person.
Maddi stopped before the stool. "Kiki's sleeping and Coco didn't want to come downstairs." Kiki, a white toy poodle, was one of two dogs Kagome and Maddi owned. Kiki was a relatively small dog who had loads of energy. In comparison, Coco, their white terrier, was a bit more reserved… to put it best, he was lazier than Kiki only by a smidge.
Occasionally, Kagome found the two dogs antics to be annoying. When they first got Kiki and Coco, the two dogs decided to explore their surroundings; however, in exploring, several documents Kagome needed for work and a pair of her favourite heels were torn and ripped to shreds. Kagome still mourned the loss of those shoes from time to time.
They were so easy to walk in and didn't hurt after six hours of continuous wear, she thought to herself, already feeling water lining her eyes.
"Mommy, is something wrong?" Snapped out of her thoughts, Kagome looked down and saw that Maddi had climbed into her lap and was watching her curiously. Chuckling, she leaned down and ran her fingers through her long black locks.
Maddi giggled. "How was your day, Mommy?"
Kagome comically tapped her chin. "It was long, but turned out great."
Maddi looked intrigued. "Why?"
"Because," she leaned over, their foreheads touching, "I get to spend the evening with my favourite daughter."
"Mommy, I'm your only daughter~" Maddi blushed, leaning her head against Kagome's shoulder. Shutting her eyes, she murmured, "I love you."
Kagome softly stroked her back. "I love you, too, Maddi."
Early Saturday morning, Kagome was out of bed and ready for her morning run. Wearing her usual gear – a blue tank top and matching track pants – she had her music player and pedometer attached to her pants and began to jog on the spot. Thankful that few people were outside at such an hour, Kagome extended her arms forward and bent down, her hands touching the gravel pathway.
Breathe in, breathe out; she exhaled before returning to standing position. "Here we go." And she was off. Adjusting her ear buds to maximum volume, she sung along to the lyrics of "Sleepless Night," one of her favourite songs performed Nittle Grasper, Japan's most successful and famous band.
"Tooku de me o hikarasete mezameru monotachi matte iru…" Running down the pathway, she could visualize the lead singer, Ryuichi Sakuma, performing the song on stage. Unbeknown to many, Kagome was an avid fan of Nittle Grasper. She had all their songs on her music player, and all the albums safely tucked away inside a drawer in her home office.
"Yoru no jouheki sasowarete utsurisumu mure no nukegara ni…" She never admitted to anyone that she liked the band. Given her position in the hospital and her stuck-up colleagues, most people in her department found the band to be childish—especially the lead singer.
"I don't understand why he carries that bunny around with him?"
"He's thirty one and still acts like a little kid."
"When will that boy grow up? He's not setting a good impression for anyone."
Whenever the band was brought up during work, she always heard similar comments directed towards the lead vocalist. Because of such, she never dared confess her true feelings about the band. Instead, she chose to remain silent and concentrate on her work rather than discuss or listen to them mock and criticize one of her favourite singers.
"Deguchi no nai shougeki ni taeru tsumori nara… (Kuzureru hodo) itsuwari o misete…" Kagome was rounding the bend of the park still lost in thought. Eyes locked downward, she failed to notice a figure walking alone in the distance.
"Umarekawareru anata yo hitori—Ouch!" she and the person went down with a loud bang. Eyes swirling, Kagome slowly sat up, one of her ear buds falling out. "Watch where you're going!" she said and stood up. Dusting herself off, she noticed that the man's sunglasses and hat went flying during the collision.
Sighing, she bent down and scooped them up. "Here." She thrust them forward.
"Arigato!" a chirper voice spoke.
"Eh?" Looking up, Kagome saw a handsome young man flashing a brilliant smile. Jaw dropped, she pointed a finger accusingly in his direction. "Don't tell me, you're—"
"Ryuichi Sakuma," he spoke quietly, interrupting her. "It's nice to meet you…" he trailed off, unsure of her name.
Kagome gulped and said, "K-Kagome." She stuttered and paused the song before the chorus.
Ryuichi continued to smile. "That's a nice name, Kagome-chan."
Kagome felt her face drain. Ryuichi Sakuma thinks I have a nice name! She thought gleefully. Suppressing the urge to squeal, Kagome cleared her throat and attempted to maintain some composure. After all, Ryuichi was most likely used to people overreacting around him. Kagome didn't want to come across as a usual fan girl like her two friends Eri and Yuka would had they been in her position.
"I, um, believe these are yours." Kagome still held the pair of sunglasses and hat in her hands.
"Ah!" He nodded and took them back. "Again, thank you for picking them up."
Kagome licked her lips and looked down, "You're welcome." She felt the tips of her ears beginning to turn red. Knowing she couldn't stay in front of the superstar for much longer without giggling, she politely excused herself.
"I'm sorry for, um, running into you before. I didn't mean it." With a nod of the head, she began to jog on the spot. "I will continue on with my run. I apologize for any inconveniences I may have caused." Without allowing the singer the chance to speak, Kagome took off down the pathway leaving a massive dust storm behind her.
Ryuichi walked the girl run off and blinked, stumped. Rubbing the back of his neck, he looked down towards the ground and noticed a small black wallet. Mouth opening, he bent down to retrieve the item and unzipped the front compartment. Pulling out the first piece of identification, Ryuichi read the following piece of information.
Sakura General Hospital,
Kagome Higurashi,
Pediatric Department
"Oh." Ryuichi looked up. "This seems very important. I had better return this to her."
Author's Note - To clear up any confusion, the ages are as followed.
Ryuichi – 31
Kagome – 29
Maddi – 7
Everyone else is his or her respected age. Also, Kagome still travelled back in time to Feudal Japan. I will explain more in the chapters to come. If I get three reviews for this story, I will post up another chapter tomorrow afternoon because I am super excited to continue writing this story.
Thank you for reading,
