The Fated.

Hi Guys! Second story coming from me. I'm not finished with Family First, but this little bugger wouldn't let me write any more of FF till I got it out. So if you can't tell, it's a cross over with YYH/Inu but I will be mentioning other animes! There will be a lot of cross overs cuz it goes with the theme of the story.

Of course, I own nothing.

Summary: Creatures never seen before have emerged in the demon world; they are neither human nor demon. Nor are they mortal. Very few people have ever seen their power before, but these creatures are slowly tearing at the fabric of the demon world. When the Detectives are asked to find a woman of great power, told of only in the ancient legends, they are suddenly thrown into a whirlwind of mystery and worlds unknown. Along with some very familiar faces, they go on the hunt, searching for the one woman who could reveal the mystery, the one woman they knew who could stop the collision of unknown horrors coming their way.

Kagome.


Chapter 1: More Than Before.

Four sets of disgruntled eyes landed on the underworld prince in disdain. Not only was it three in the morning, but the prince did not bother with any sort of greeting before grilling them on their lack of timely arrival. Instantly, the fight was on between the young ruler and the brazen youth that led the group.

With a sigh, one of the redheads set himself into a chair while the other one plopped down ungracefully and the black haired demon stood in the corner, leaning on the wall.

As the two fought, a loud knock at the door interrupted their banter.

Straightening himself, Koenma eyed Yusuke viciously and popped into his teenage form.

"Come in." he called.

Yusuke shot the prince an equally deathly look before he leaned against the large desk nonchalantly as four people strolled into the room, all of them rolling with regal power. Instantly, the spirit detectives were on edge.

Leading the way was a tall, silver haired demon with piercingly cold golden eyes, a crescent moon engraved on his forehead identifying him immediately to the group as royal.

Beside him to his left was a man that was unmistakably related, despite him being only half demon. Although his triangle ears on top of his head made him look more like Yoko than the man strolling in front of him.

On his other side was a likewise tall demon of a different breed, his blue eyes shined vividly against his tan skin and pitch black ponytail.

Bringing up the rear was a copper headed demon with lively green eyes, inquisitively searching the group as he came through the door.

Kurama couldn't help but admire the rare occurrence of three different breeds of canine walking together.

But everyone in the room couldn't help but admire the amount of power rolling off the four.

For a moment there was silence as the two groups sized each other up, trying to determine rather or not this interaction would result in bloodshed.

"Lord Sesshomaru, how nice to see you again. And right on time. Allow me to introduce my team-" Koenma started, standing to greet the newcomers.

"We have done extensive research on your team, Koenma, we are well aware of who they are." The silver haired demon spoke, smoothly cutting the young lord off.

The tension in the room jumped as all of the spirit detectives eyes narrowed at this man who had 'done extensive research' on them.

"Why, yes. Okay. Well I have not had a chance to explain their new mission so allow me to introduce you to them." Koenma sputtered nervously.

"Team, this is Lord Sesshomaru, he reigns the lands to the west of the spirit lands in the demon realm. Beside him to his left is his brot..-er- half brother, Lord Inuyasha," Koenma stumbled over his introduction at the two growls that came from the dog demons when he introduced the two as full brothers, "On his right is Lord Koga, he reigns the lands south of the spirit lands. And behind them is Lord Shippo, the head strategy general for both Lord Sesshomaru and Lord Koga's main armies."

The four demons nodded their acknowledgement when they were introduced, their lack of interest in titles was clear on their scowling faces.

Koenma cleared his throat. "I have been informed that they are looking for a human woman. And since I can not grant them access to the human world, I ask that you four find her in their stead." Koenma addressed his team. Instantly, Yusuke piped up;

"Yea? What the hell for? What do you need a human woman for huh?" He growled defensively.

For their part, the four demons seemed unphased as Koenma tried to do damage control on his mouthy detective.

"Yusuke, it is quite complicated, but they are looking for a human woman that is quite dear to them and is needed most urgently." He hissed at him.

"May I ask what is so urgent? And how complicated are we talking?" Kurama interjected, his green eyes narrowing on the demons standing across from him.

"It's none of your damn business! This isn't up for discussion, just go fetch her for us!" The smaller silver haired half demon exploded, throwing his hands into the air in frustration.

"It is our business! You want us to just go 'fetch' a human for you?! No! I have no idea what you're going to do to that poor chick once you get your hands on her!" Yusuke yelled, starting forward towards the four newcomers. Inuyasha grabbed his sword handle and started forward too, but was stopped by Sesshomaru's outstretched hand. Likewise, Kurama placed a steadying hand on Yusuke's shoulder, despite his narrowed gaze on the four lords.

Glancing at his older brother, Inuyasha fehed, and crossed his arms, turning away from the angry youth.

"Shippo." Sesshomaru said without further explanation.

With an easy smile on his face the copper headed man from the back started forward, pulling a big black book from his satchel.

"We're looking for the Shikon Miko. She was a time traveler who should have returned to her home in the year 2003. We have been unable to find her, it is as if she vanished." He started, setting the big book down on the large desk by Yusuke.

"THE Shikon Miko? As in, the one from the demon lore of hundreds of years ago?" Kurama asked, disbelief tainting his voice as he scoffed at the copper headed fox.

"The very one. She was very real, and she did all the amazing things that are accredited to her." Shippo stated easily, not bothering to look up at the skeptical demon questioning his story while he sorted the papers out.

"What the hell do you mean she's a time traveler?" Yusuke asked, looking over the demon's shoulder to the book. The book was filled to the brim with sketches, old pictures, and portraits of a young woman.

The other three detectives filled in the empty space beside the copper headed fox as he spread his work over the desk.

"Just that. The Shikon Miko was originally from this time. She was transported back in time five hundred years and she accidently broke the jewel while trying to save it from a demon that stole it from her." He said, caressing one of the sketches lovingly.

"She traveled back and forth between the two times, making it her mission to put the jewel back together. But when it was finally back together... she was forced back to her time." He stated sadly, pulling his hand away from the picture.

Turning to look at Yusuke he continued his story; "Or at least we thought. We waited for her to come out of the well. We sent search teams when her family said she never came back. When we were caught and asked to return to the demon world, we waited for word from her. That was ten years ago." He looked down.

"While ten years is not a long time to us, we are unsure if she is mortal, but if she is, she will be pushing her third decade this year. We have come here to ask you to help us find her." Shippo stepped back to his comrades. He stood still in front of the other demon lords, looking at the spirit detectives with sincerity written all over his face.

"We were her traveling companions in the past. Not only does she mean the world to us," Shippo held out his hand to indicate his silent partners, "but with what is going on in the demon world right now, we believe only she can help us get to the bottom of it." He finished with a grimace.

For the first time, Hiei spoke; "You mean the barriers and appearance of unknown races of demon?" He asked quietly, his arms crossed and his gaze narrow as he spoke.

"Yes. We have all personally encountered these humanoid creatures. And none of us are too sure that they are actually demons, although they fight like 'em." Koga finally spoke, his blue eyes getting an angry gleam in them.

"You're not sure they are demons? Then what the hell are they?" Kuwabara asked, scratching the back of his head.

The four demons shared a look of concern.

"We're not sure. But we have seen them use their powers. And it's always the same power. The only time I ever felt that power before was in her." Inuyasha nodded toward the desk where the pictures of the Shikon Miko lay.

"So these are holy men and women that have gotten into the demon world?" Kurama clarified, knowing that the Shikon Miko was known for her unique holy powers that exceeded any other holy power ever known to demons.

"Yea that's what we thought too." Inuyasha scoffed, gripping his sword tightly.

"But then... They don't die." Shippo finished seriously.

A moment of silence and then-

"They don't die? What the hell do you mean they don't die? Everything dies!"Yusuke exclaimed, looking from face to face, expecting some sort of clarification.

"We tried... and just like way back when... everything that should kill a human, or even a demon, never killed Kagome. She always recovered. It's the same with these creatures." Koga finished, cracking his knuckles nervously.

"Wait. So you mean to tell me," Kuwabara started pacing as he tried to put it all together, "That this old chick, who is not really old, cuz she time travels, disappeared after she came back to this time." Kuwabara looked to Kurama who nodded in affirmation. "And now, she is needed because these mysterious creatures show up in the demon world with powers like hers, but they're not human, nor are they mortal?" Kuwabara looked to Shippo this time, who also nodded. "And no one knows where this chick is, or how to find her or if she is even an actual miko or maybe something else, like these new creatures? No one knows what these creatures are or where they came from?" He said as he stopped pacing. "Well then, how do we know that they aren't all from the same place?" Kuwabara looked to Shippo again.

"That's what we're trying to figure out, detective. While these creatures are like her in power, they are unlike her in manner. Kagome was one of the most kindhearted, gentle souls I have ever met. But yet, these new creatures terrorize and disrupt the peace, nothing like Kagome." Shippo said, confirming the detectives thoughts and adding to them.

"I have never heard of anything that sounds even remotely like what you are describing. Is it possible for there to be a whole new 'creature' that we don't know about?" Kurama asked, turning to Koenma, who shrugged helplessly.

"Anything is possible fox. We assumed she was a simple miko, because she carried the jewel, and the only known carriers of the jewel were mortal mikos. However, that does not eliminate the possibility that she and these new creatures are something entirely different. Her power to time travel and the unique forms her power took, along with the fact that nobody could teach her to control her powers, not to mention her mysterious disappearance or her ability to survive even the most brutal attacks; it all points to something that we might be missing. Something we do not know or understand." Sesshomaru spoke again, looking toward the fox pointedly.

"Well hell, so she might not even be human! It's pointless to go to the human world looking for her." Yusuke spoke up from his spot, leaning against the desk.

Silence met his comment as he stared at the ground. Looking up to Sesshomaru who was watching him closely, he said instead; "We need to check with Enmma first, see what he knows about Kagome or these creatures. Something tells me that if there are 'creatures' running around that are not mortal, only another immortal would know about them. And it's something that he wouldn't be willing to tell anyone, not even his own son." He stated, standing up to full height.

Nobody said anything for a long moment.

Then Koga broke out into a full on grin, smiling like a fool at Yusuke. "Damn. I knew we had to have you guys help us. I never thought of that. To King Enmma we go!" He clapped Shippo on the shoulder who was grinning just as foolishly.

The two dog demons looked at eachother for a moment before they both nodded and their eyes took on their own little gleams of excitement.

Yusuke looked back at his own comrades; by the looks that were exchanged between the four of them, it was clear that something was about to change.

And it started with finding this woman of legends,

Kagome.
