Disclamer: I Do not own either Inuyasha which is owned by Rumiko Takahashi or any of the Final Fantasy series which is owned by Square Enix
I started writing this story a long time and never finished it but the idea of a FF and Inuyasha cross-over just seemed so fun ^.^ The story is set up to possibly chronicle the lives of both Sesshoumaru and Sephiroth before they become who fans know them as today. I was hoping for feedback on the idea and figured this was a good place to start, so please R+R !
Chapter 1
His breathing grew even more labored as he ran from his pursuers. Gun shots reverberated about him and one of the bullets pierced through his back lodging itself between his ribs, narrowly just missing his heart. He fell to the ground in a pained hiss as his body spasmed from the impact of the bullet, his fall only aggravating the wound. He looked painfully behind to see his pursuers running closer. As fast as his body would allow him, he got up to try and make up lost time and distance. "You idiots, I said stop him not damage him!" an irate voice shouted, "You're ruining my experiment!"
The young Sephiroth recognized the voice of that as Professor Hojo's. 'That's all I am to them. An experiment.' he thought to himself wincing from his wound, 'Nothing more than a precious experiment.' He ran to the forest as his asylum, listening as the boots of the soldiers ran by. Shinra SOLDIERs. The monsters that the Shinra President wanted created, super humans…superior warriors. 'Not so much human anymore,' the boy thought. Once the sounds of the heavy boots faded away from his hideaway Sephiroth let out the breath that he unconsciously held. He staggered through the forest as quietly as he could. He crunched through dried foliage and under wood making the creatures of the night fall silent as if he were a predator spotted hunting.
His breathing became ragged with each step that he took. The forest was thick with trees; it was difficult for him to maneuver around them with the added effort of his injury. But he had to keep going. The further he went the further he was from Shinra and their abuse. The walk was agonizingly slow in all sense of the word. His wound bled out profusely even with his mako treated body doing its best to repair the damage. He almost regretted running from his scheduled mako shower, but thought better of regret. His body would've regenerated the loss of blood before it got too bad. However, death was better than being a weapon and experiment for Shinra. He no longer knew which way he was going, his focus on trying to remain conscience enough to at least die in peace. Sephiroth realized he was out of the dense forest after falling over a raised root. Though his sight was hazing and his body shutting down from over exertion, and his heaving chest began to slow from agonized breathing to barely noticeable and he managed the quiet thought 'What a beautiful place to die.'
'Something is wrong' the young girl thought. A young girl of twelve years stood outside of a sweets shop watching as the men ran by. One of them shouted to his cohorts "If we don't find that kid our necks are on the line!" The young girl wondered who they could be possibly looking for. From the garb that they wore they must have be with neighboring government that were supposed to be peacefully occupying their land. 'What did father call them? Soldiers of Shinra?' she was unsure what made them so different from the soldiers that were commanded in her father's army, but her father said that there was no need to worry about them just only not to bother with them. Still, why would they be looking for a child here?
"Milady," a stern voice said beside her, "I believe it is time to depart from here to home now." She looked to the regal figure next to her a frown marring her face. "But Maru it's still early, can't we stay a bit longer?" the girl pleaded. "Milady Serene if the Shinra SOLDIERs are involved with a matter here it would be best to keep a distance till they have finished their business. Sesshoumaru said as sternly as he could be with his young ward. He may not have been able to command her directly but he could get his point across when he felt there was a necessity for Serene to be removed.
The young girl frowned and sighed. 'Well, papa did say to stay away from them,' "Yes, I suppose you're right," she agreed with reluctance, "but can we at least go to one last place before home?" Sesshoumaru thought for a moment. He knew of where she spoke of, the two of them would often go there whenever he and his father visited her family. It was their sanctuary from the tedious and troublesome lives that their positions carried. He allowed a small smile to grace through stoic façade, though no matter how minute it was he knew she could see it. "I do not see why not," he offered her his arm and she happily accepted it.
