Author's note: Ok, this is the first fanfic I've ever written in my entire life. This is a crossover fic: Inuyasha and Ayashino Ceres. I wrote this especially for my niece but I then decided to share it with other people. I warn you readers though that the characters will be OOC (out of character!) most of the time but 'hey' it is a fanfic…

Disclaimer: I do NOT own Inuyasha or Ayashino Ceres and that's that!

Chapter 1: Friendship

It was just another sunny day. It was spring and the sky was so clear, not even a cloud was in sight. The winds blew softly, passing through every mountain, every tree, and over the lakes and rivers. The wind slowly lost most of its force as it entered the borders of a city. This city is in Japan, somewhere within the boundaries of Tokyo.

At this time humans were not the only ones inhabiting the world. A palm full of demons, mikos, and other mystical beings were living amongst the mortal humans secretly. These beings are not to be thought as cowards in hiding. They hid or blended themselves so that their identities would not be discovered to ensure peace and order. This prevented a state of panic and chaos in other words.

Also, despite all this, everyone did their best to survive and live a normal life. There was corruption, poverty and other issues every single day. Japan also was experiencing these. Among the thousands living in a city, which is to be found near the borders of Tokyo, are two young teenage girls….

Kagome Higurashi is a girl with long ebony hair and chestnut brown eyes. This adventurous 18 year old is very enthusiastic and still a child at heart. She lives in a shrine with her mother and younger brother, Souta. She can be very violent at times but that only happens when she is angered or provoked. She's not good when it comes to her studies but excels in the field of sports especially archery. But she doesn't make her talents known to a lot of people.

Aya Mikage is the same age of eighteen like Kagome. She has long golden hair and sapphire blue eyes. She is a girl of a more mature nature and is skilled when it comes to her studies unlike Kagome. She's a spirited and fun-loving young woman. She lives with her mother and twin brother, Aki. Her house is only a few blocks from where Kagome lives. She likes singing karaoke and hanging out with her friends. She is a good listener and can be a very calm in drastic situations. She is a very independent person with perseverance no one can match.

These two young girls have been together since age five, and are almost inseparable. The two have been together from their childhood, elementary and high school years. They have two other friends: Miroku Houshi and Sango Taijiya. They met these two during their second year in high school. These two are "unique" in their own way. Sango came from a line of demon exterminators while Miroku came from heritage of monks. Sango's a very strong willed and black belt in martial arts. And Miroku, despite his gentleman ways is really a pervert at heart. These two are a couple at present although Miroku still can't get enough of looking at other girls and….ahem….groping Sango's behind.

In just a few weeks, Kagome, Aya, Miroku, Sango and Aki will begin their first day in Tokyo University.

In Aya's house…

The two best friends were staying in Aya's room at the moment. The walls were colored light beige with red base boards. There was a bed at the right corner of the end of the room. A bookshelf full of different books resided at the foot of the bed and next to it was the door. The opposite side of the room had a study table and a closet for keeping Aya's clothes. The room had two rows of windows on the north and east side respectively.

"Aya-chan, I'm so excited", Kagome exclaimed as she jumped up and down on her best friend's bed. Kagome wore Capri jeans and a blue shirt with green bold letters in the front saying: 'Don't mess with me just coz I'm an angel!!', and her hair was up in a ponytail.

Aya diverted her attention from the book she was reading and looked at Kagome. She wore jeans with a red shirt, which was ruffled in the front. Her hair was down and was flowing down her back.

"Calm down Kagome. It's not as if you're going be in the same hyper mood when we do attend the university." She said. "I can imagine you now complaining to me: 'Aya-chan, no more schoolwork please!!!'" Aya imitates Kagome complaining on the floor.

"Hahaha. Very Funny!" Kagome gave a sarcastic look. She then took her favorite manga from Aya's bookshelf and started to glance through its pages.

"But then, if you look at it, we are now independent young women, it's just so exciting. Oh, and we still need to find a dormitory and a room, too, Aya-chan!"

Aya stop reading her book and rolls her eyes. "O' contraire, you find our dormitory and our room. I already fixed your room for four months straight. You owe me!"

Kagome pouts. "Fine. So when are we suppose to get one?"

Aya sweat drops. "Do I have to do everything for you?"

Kagome winks and sticks out her tongue at Aya.

"OK, let's talk about the first day of school. It's a free day given to us to organize our stuff. Also, we don't have much to worry about for the two days after the 'first day' of school. I guess it's like that so the students can settle in. And at most, only three persons can share a room. So you should get a room within the next two weeks if you want to make sure that we get at least a decent one. After all, about one million students enroll in the university each year."

"Oh…..Hey do you think Miroku and Sango will be roommates?"

"I doubt it, co-ed roommates aren't allowed. It's most likely that Sango will be rooming with us, although those two are inseparable as Miroku's hand on Sango's butt."

Kagome clutched unto her stomach while laughing. "You have a point there, Aya-chan."

Aya then stops laughing as a thought came to her. "Kagome, I heard Kikyo's going to the same university as us."

Kagome stiffens at the sound of Kikyo's name and her laughter dies down as well.

"Really?"

"Don't let it get to you, Kagome."

"I don't think Kikyo's a totally bad person. It's just that I can't stand the fact that when she was our classmate throughout highschool, I was always compared to her. She was always better in nearly everything I did and she always manages to make me feel miserable. It's as if she hates me for some reason and I never did anything bad to make her feel so. I don't mind all that as much though." Kagome pauses for a moment and continues. "But she also degrades you just because you're my best friend. I can't forgive her for that. If she degrades you again, I will not hesitate to hit her for all she's worth." She clenches her fists and narrows her eyes.

Aya gave a soft smile. Her best friend had always been overprotective of her. That's why her brother didn't need to worry much since if you got Kagome mad, you would really regret it. Also, it was a good thing Kagome never really displayed her real talents in archery. If Kikyo knew that Kagome was skilled in archery, she would do anything in her power just to beat her friend. Losing to kikyo in archery would inflict real damage to Kagome's self-esteem. She would no longer have any talent to be proud of. And despite Kagome's confident and strong exterior, Aya knew that she could be really fragile and sensitive. She also knew that she played a big part in Kagome's life. She was her pillar, the source of Kagome's inner strength when she would feel down and in the pits of confusion.

Aya didn't want to depress nor upset her friend any further so she decided to change the topic. "Aren't we supposed to meet Miroku and Sango at the mall in an hour?"

"Gosh, I almost forgot" The two exited the room and headed towards the garage. They owned a red Mitsubishi car. They bought it with their graduation money and took turns driving it.

"Isn't Aki coming with us Aya-chan?"

"No, he's still busy helping mom out with something."

"I wonder what your twin's helping you mom with? It's been forever since he last hung out with us."

"I don't know. I tried to ask him but he always manages to dodge the subject."

"…. Hey, can I drive?" Kagome asked with puppy dog eyes as they boarded the car.

"No! Last time you drove, you nearly made our car run over an old man crossing the street and it's my turn to drive anyway."

"Not my fault he was so freakin' slow and the light turned green." Kagome replied as they went inside the car.

"Ya, uh huh, whatever Kagome." Aya started the engine.

"But Aya-chan, you drive so slow!!" whined Kagome.

"You're just looking for an excuse to drive and besides I SHOULD have a turn since it's OUR car. So deal with not driving for today, you greedy little girl."

"You're mean Aya-chan."

"Why, thank you."

Then they drew off. What they didn't know was that their friendship and they themselves would be put to the ultimate test. They will face things that they have never expected and their lives would be changed forever.

Author's note: There it is. I hope it's pretty good at least. In my opinion I rather go straight to the plot then the beginning of this fic. I'm an amateur at writing so don't expect much from me right now. Reviews please…
