Hi! This is my first time writing a crossover and I know I'm not too good a writer, but what would it hurt to give this a shot? Besides the worst people could do is come over and bash my head continuously with a baseball bat telling me that they hate my fanfic. Since I am very sad about the fact that these two animes do not belong to me, I'm going to make a disclaimer once and that's it. See you at the bottom of the page! *grins*

Lost Souls

He stood there, leaning against the wall, watching her as a father watches over his newborn daughter. But it is not the same. Yes, the feelings of love and protectiveness are there, but it is altered. Deciding that she looked far too lonely, he silently made his way towards her. When he was close enough, he wrapped his arms around her, feeling her relax and lean back into his embrace.

She sighed in content. Oh, how she loved this man. Right then, she felt as though nothing could separate them. If only time stood still, so that this moment might last forever... after all, he wasn't one for showing emotion. She could feel the darkness coming closer and closer... and there was nothing she could do to stop it. She was forbidden to intervene for fear of alternating the future.

Feeling the woman in his arms shiver, he held her closer.

"Cold?"

Hearing no response, he was about to ask again when she whirled around to face him. Startled, he could only watch as she stared into his eyes, searching.

"Do you truly love me? Without a doubt?" She asked her tone one of seriousness that she rarely used.

"Why do you ask?" He looked at her oddly, wondering what had brought this on.

"Just answer my question." She said forcefully.

"Hai."

"Promise me you'll never leave me. That you'll always be by my side."

"Hai...." He said hesitantly.

"Give me your word."

"I give you my word, by my mother's grave."

"Hurry up, wench!" Inuyasha leapt from branch to branch, impatient to get moving once more. "Feh, humans are so damned slow."

With a murderous look on her face, Kagome said, "Osuwari!"

"What was that for, BITCH?!" Came Inuyasha's voice muffled by the dirt.

Deciding to ignore him, Kagome turned back to Kaede to get all the supplies they needed. "Kaede, do you by any chance have another one of those beads so that I may give him another command as well?"

Kaede chuckled. "Unfortunately, no."

Kagome sighed in disappointment. "Oh well, one could always hope." She said, shrugging her shoulders.

"Let's go, Kagome-chan." Pointing to Inuyasha, Sango said, "He's getting impatient."

Kagome looked towards the half-demon and giggled. "When is he not impatient?"

"Too true, all too true."

"Get moving already! The shards are not going to be waiting for us, damned! If it weren't for you being able to sense the shards, I wouldn't-"

"Shut up already! We've been listening complain all morning non-stop and I don't have any Advil for my headache right now." Kagome said, raising her hand to rest on her forehead.

"Are you alright, Lady Kagome?" Miroku asked his voice laced with concern.

"I'll be fine. Nothing a little rest can't fix." Kagome said reassuringly.

"If you say so."

"Hey! There's a demon approaching." Inuyasha gave Kagome a questioningly look. She gave a sigh before closing her eyes in concentration. Stretching out her senses, she could feel a shard coming their way. Giving him a look of affirmation, she climbed onto his back so that they could go faster, while the others got on Kirara.

As soon as she was on, Inuyasha took off. Jumping from tree to tree with a grace of a cat, running when he needed to. He sniffed the air constantly as his ears twitched, catching as many sounds as possible.

Suddenly, he made a sharp turn, just barely missing the attack thrown their way. Setting Kagome down on the ground, he drew his Tetsusaiga, which instantly transformed as he ran towards the demon. With the sword in his hands, he felt as though nothing could stop him. Stopping directly in front of the demon, he smirked before hacking into its shell.

Giving a horrid shriek of agony, the demon lashed out in anger at the one who caused it the pain. Leaping back deftly, Inuyasha dashed forward again only to have the demon spray venom at him. Quickly, he moved aside and spared Kagome a glance to see if she was caught in it. He caught her scrambling away from the shot just as a blast of fire hit the demon from above.

Giving a roar to announce their entrance, Kirara dropped off the two extra passengers before taking off into the air with her mistress on her back.

"INUYASHA! THE TIP OF THE SHELL!" Kagome cried as she saw a glimpse of the shard when it was turning away.

Nodding in acknowledgement, the hanyou jumped into the air and brought his sword down onto the back of the other demon as hard as he could, therefore breaking the shell that protected its back.

Giving a howl of rage, it turned to attack when it was hit by the staff of a certain monk.

Up in the air, the demon exterminator threw her boomerang at the back of the demon's head, knocking it unconscious.

Sango leapt from Kirara and landed on the ground with ease as Kirara transformed back to her smaller form, seeing that the fight was over.

Inuyasha dragged Kagome over to the unconscious demon for her to extract the shard from with her protesting the whole way.

"Why can't you do it?" Kagome asked, scrunching up her nose in disgust.

"Because YOU are the shard detector." Inuyasha said smirking.

"Well, YOU'RE the high-and-mighty demon." She retorted.

"YOU are the one who broke the Shikon no Tama, so YOU are the one who has to collect the pieces back. I'm only helping you out, since you can't do it."

"Ha!" Kagome scoffed. "Are you forgetting that YOU are the one who wants to make a wish on it? Huh? So that YOU can be a full youkai?" She poked his chest with every word she said, forcing him to back up.

"How long are they going to take to argue over this? They've totally forgotten about the shard." Sighing, Sango turned to the kitsune beside her and attempted to ignore the pair. Attempted was the key word.

The houshi came up besides them and said, "They argue like an old married couple."

Shippou sniggered when he heard Miroku's words.

Inuyasha bristled at words. Since his hearing was much better than humans, he heard their words despite the fact the he and Kagome were yelling at each other.

"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!" He launched at the monk, hands stretched out to strangle.

Miroku quickly ducked behind Sango, hoping to escape Inuyasha's wrath.

"HEY! THE DEMON'S STARTING TO REGENERATE!" Shippou cried out.

"Hurry up and grab the shard already, wench."

"Why you little-" Deciding to ignore him for the time being, she gingerly stepped forward and pick out the shard before the demon could fully heal itself.

Still cowering behind the exterminator, he unwrapped the beads from his hand and let out the air rip that proceeded to suck up what remained of the demon.

With a devious glint in her eyes, she softly said, "Sit." Causing the unsuspecting hanyou to fall to the earth cursing colorfully. Repeating it two more times for good measures, she headed back to the village with Shippou in tow.

Shaking her head Sango was about to follow her friend when she felt a hand on her bottom. Her eyebrows ticking, she whirled around and punched the hentai monk, leaving him dazed on the ground.

Having regained his composure, he raced after the very girl who gave him the black eye.

Growling, Inuyasha waited until the spell wore off before getting out of the small hole of his imprint.

"Damned wench. Sitting me for no reason. When I get back-" Pausing in his rant, he spotted one of Kikyou's soul snatchers and was about to follow it when he was hit with the scent of strawberries mixed with sakura.

Deciding that he could find the dead miko another time, he followed the scent till he found a body lying in the ground, motionless.



Hey! Nice seeing you back here. Hope you liked the beginning of my story and would send me lots of reviews. That'll really make my day. One thing that I love to do is read, so you can stop by any time and let me know of any good fanfics, books, or authors. Thanks for reading! Ja ne! ^.~
