Disclaimer: I do not own either Naruto or InuYasha.

Background: What if Kagome wasn't actually from Tokyo but from the same time as Naruto and was on a mission for the Land of Shadows? What if she was a ninja and a priestess?

Kagome age: 14

Teams 7, 8, 9, and 10: 12

Team Gai: 13

Kakashi: 21

Moon Country in the Land of Shadows:

This would be the end…her family was dead along with her clan members, and even as the strongest member everything would be lost.

"You win this time Orichmaru but believe me I will help in your destruction."

"We will see Kagome Higurashi"

The mark on her next spun and turned white before it was released. Her memories went back to her clan and her allies that were killed. Picking up her new items; the fire robe, Sango and Inuyasha's weapons, along with Miroku's sutras and staff and her own silver bow. Hearing a meow Kagome looked down and found Kirara watching her.

"Come on Kirara. We must bury the dead…"

Kirara meowed and jumped onto her shoulder. She looked around seeing all the dead lying on the ground. "I am sorry all of you; I should have been more help; I shouldn't have let you out of my sight…" Falling to her knees. "I'm Sorry"

"Meow"

"Yeah you're right the others may be on missions"

Kirara tilled her head to the side "Meow"

"I will wait 3 months for all the others to return hopefully they're okay." She told her. "First let's go to the office to see who is gone and figure out what to do from there."

Three years later:

Konoha was close; it had to be at the most 10 miles away and still all she could think about was the death of those closest to her. 'Inuyasha, Miroku, Sango, Kaede, Mama, Souta, Ji-chan and all the others I'm sorry, it is all my fault' Kagome could not locate Shippo, Sesshoumaru, Kohaku, Rin, Jaken, Kouga, Ayame, and even Kikyo, though she was very surprised about her she would have thought that Kikyo wanted to follow Inuyasha once again to hell. Her train of thought was broken the moment a familiar scent; 'I thought he wasn't allowed in the village anymore why would he be this close to it' looking around she placed her hand on the tree and using a special kekki genti she found him 40 yards away 'He isn't Orichmaru but he has his scent all over him why? Something isn't right about this; they are watching this village way to closely maybe waiting for the next exam for Genin is coming up and he's looking for his next victim.' Her hand automatically went to her next were she could still just feel the fangs enter her flesh as if it happened only hours ago instead of years of ago. She hid her scent and aura along with Kirara's knowing that he was up to something. As they continued forward she stopped behind a tree feet away from confident that he wouldn't feel or sense her presence there because he wasn't smart enough to hid his own scent from her. Touching the tree she was able to watch him without peeking around the tree.

"Orichmaru's crazy, how does he suspect me to get away with this once again; this will be my seventh year in the exam." He said to himself sighing "Then again he'll also attend"

Deciding to chance it, she stepped out from behind the tree. "Who are you?"

The figure stiffened as he turned towards her, realization crossed his face. "Kagome Higurashi."

"Answer my question, who are you?"

"Well you would have probably realized it later on anyways it's Kabuto."

"Where is Orichmaru?"

"Sorry I cannot answer that." She grinded her teeth together at his response.

"But maybe I can." Another voice spoke turning around the man that she had loathe for the past three years stood before her now.

"Orichmaru."

"What are you doing here Orichmaru, if you are detected then…our plan may not be successful." Kabuto told him.

"Do not worry; I only came because I felt Kagome's presence." He stated as he smiled down at Kagome. "Kabuto leave us for now; I suspect Kagome has something she needs to tell me."

"Yes sir." Kabuto vanished in a puff of smoke.

"Now now Kagome you are way too aware of our plans I must correct that."

"I shall kill you now Orichmaru."

"Oh so violent towards one who only wants to create." He smirked.

"You will not use me in such a way Orichmaru."

"We shall see Kagome." Running forward he kicked her in the stomach only to discover she had become a water clone. She appeared behind him sending both chakra and spiritual powers out of her palm into his back but he disappeared in a puff of smoke. Looking around she felt his eyes on her but couldn't find him.

"Kirara go to the village with this and get help immediately."

"Meow" The cat ran off leaving the two alone before Orichmaru could react she had used the element of wood to wrap around his body. But his body exploded sending her in the opposite direction. 'Damn he attached a bomb to his clone in order to weaken me.' Her mind could no longer control her body's functions. 'What's going on? Could he have made the smoke mix with his poison? Damn I didn't expect that. What did all that training do then?'

"Poor Kagome, didn't expect that, don't worry it's something new I developed with Kabuto so it is to be expect, I have to say though if I hadn't poison you then you might have actually put up a chance."

"Damn you Orichmaru." She spat at him. "Why won't you just fight me like a man instead of using all of your pathetic tricks in order to weaken me you bastard."

"Who could think someone so beautiful could have such a foul mouth." He stated as he walked forward and kneeled down next to her; reaching up he stroke her face as she sat there paralyzed by both fear and the poison running through her system. Removing his hand he took a kunai out of his pocket and swiped it across her cheek so a long thin scar bled he then moved his hand across it and placed it to his lips licking it off. "You do have a wonderful taste to your blood Kagome." His gaze went to her body. "You have developed nicely over the years Kagome; almost ready to be mated with and bear children." He laughed softly then glanced at the right side of her neck. "I see the mark the mark that claims you as mine is gone." Bring his mouth down to the left side of her neck he bite down; the pain was even worst then the first one falling forward he caught her and steadied her. "You will always be mine Kagome do not forget that." He brought his lips to her before he could even touch them her anger caused a surge in her purification powers sending him backwards he broke several trees along the way.

"Don't underestimate me" she said angrily. Although she could still stand the amount of spiritual power she used made her exhausted.

He was heavily injured because of the sheer amount of power behind the blow. "You may have injured me Kagome but I will return you can count on that." With that said he vanished.

Kagome placed her hand to her neck feeling very distinctly Orichmaru's ill will towards her. "I'm not going to be able to purify that for a couple of days but it will keep me from healing as fast as I am normally able to…if only there were no demons in the area then I would be able to…dang they are getting too close, I can't fight demons if my sacred powers are being sealed." 'May as well try' she thought as she placed her hand back on the mark and began purifying the chakra in order to concentrate on something else she grabbed her kunai and stabbed her leg. 'Flesh wounds are easier to heal anyways and it will keep my mind off the pain in my neck.' Not having enough energy to keep going she released the mark noting that only the very insides of each blotch had a small dot of white in them before collapsing on to the ground.

Sometime later a pair of sandals approached her opening her eyes she saw a man standing before her when she heard a meow looking down at her feet she found Kirara standing there.

"Kirara you're safe good."

"So you're the owner of this cat, don't worry I'm from Konohagakure no Sato, I'm here to help you." This man had a strange appearance but didn't everyone these days; he had gravity defying hair his mask hid the bottom of his face while his headband covered his left eye leaving only a onyx colored eye out, the vest was proof of a Jonin.

"Copy ninja Kakashi Hakate."

"You know me?"

"I've heard about you." She replied as she started pushing herself up stumbling forward Kakashi caught her. "I'm sorry; I was attacked on my way here." She noticed that his arms felt warm and gentle so different from Orichmaru; thank Kami; he is most definitely the total opposite of that monster.

'What has she been through' looking down he saw the hair around her neck fall over her shoulder revealing the mark Orichmaru gave his allies and prey. Picking her up so that one arm was under her knees and the other under her back he saw the stunning blue eyes she had. 'No wonder she's exhausted this mark might have been done only hours ago I'm surprised she's even awake let alone move.' "It's alright ms-."

"Kagome, my name is Kagome Higurashi." She replied as she fell back into darkness.

Higurashi? Well there's a name I haven't heard in quite a while, Hokage-sama would love to hear from our old 'friends' he thought with a smirk, looking back down at the girl sleeping in his arms he chuckled "Well Kagome-san it's a pleasure meeting you."

Walking towards the village the first place he went was to the hospital to make sure she was alright before going off to see the Hokage and tell him of this interesting addition to their town.

Okay so this is different then what I usually write but right now I'm in a Kagome crossover mood, there are a couple other crossovers I'm thinking of doing with her including; InuyashaxTwilight, InuyashaxRurouniKenshin or InuyashaxFinalFantasyX so besides this one which other one should I do. I'm not sure on paring yet for any of these crossovers so I will allow you guys to vote when the time comes.
