Disclaimers: Inu-Yasha is mine.
Rumiko Takahashi: Excuse me…
Lady Sage: Yes, oh Great One?
Rumiko Takahashi: Um, gomen, demo…Inu-Yasha is mine.
Lady Sage: Awww…damn. But I can keep Catherine, right?
Rumiko Takahashi: Of course. You invented her.
Author's notes: My first Inu-Yasha fic! Yay! Happy, Kaze-chan? ^_^ And I'm writing it to "Change the World"! I've been playing with this idea for more or less a year, but for some reason I never wrote it down. It's a semi-self-insertion fic. Meaning, it's OC, and the OC kind of based on me, but I changed a few characteristics. But she speaks about as much Japanese as I do, though. Hey, where are you going? As anyone who has read my FY fics, my OCs are not perfect, so don't use that as an excuse not to read! And there's no Sango because I don't know her character very well. No offence to her or anything. Oh, by the way, has anyone heard about the seiyuus for the Inu-Yasha dub? There's Richard Ian Cox as Inu-Yasha (Ranma's second seiyuu), Moneca Stori, a.k.a. Monica Gemmer as Kagome (Sally Po/Catherine Bloom from Gundam Wing), Willow Johnson as Kikyo (Kasumi Tendo from Ranma ½), and Saffron Henderson as Sota (the original Gohan from DBZ and Kentaro Ichinose from Maison Ikkoku). There's a lot of talent going into it, that's for sure. Kinda disappointed that there's no Brad Swaile or Kirby Morrow…

Kagome stood alone in a battlefield littered with dead bodies. "Ew," she commented, and began to pick her way through the corpses. "Damn it, where did everyone go?" She was slightly (meaning very) pissed off at being abandoned in such an unsavory place. She began to pick her way through the corpses. "Oh, GROSS!" she cried as she stepped on one. She looked down, and her blood ran cold. "No…" The body was small, half human, half fox, with auburn hair tied back into a ponytail and pointed ears. "No… Shippo…" She picked him up, praying for a sign of life. But all she saw was a trickle of blood running from the mouth and blank, dead blue eyes. "No…it can't be." She searched frantically for Inu-Yasha and Miroku. She found both of them in a similar state. "No…" she cried once again. "NO!!!!!!!!!!!!" The scream tore itself out of her.
"How sad," she heard a voice murmur. She looked up, tears streaming down her face. The voice belonged to a girl with long, straight hair like molten silver. "How very sad," the girl murmured once again. "They all died." She knelt, and lifted up a body, held its head in her lap. "They all died." Tears began to gather in her eyes. "Why? Why did they have to die?" She looked at Kagome. "Why? It's all my fault…" Kagome was startled to see that, although she heard Japanese, the girl's lips matched another language entirely. The face of the one the girl held became startlingly clear – it was Sesshoumaru!
~**~
Kagome woke up in a cold sweat. Inu-Yasha turned and looked at her scornfully. "Dreaming *again*?" he asked sourly.
Kagome glared at him. "Yes. I dream. Learn to deal with it." The image of him lying on the ground, dead and cold, popped into her head. Tears gathered in her eyes, and she hugged him.
"What the hell…?" The dog boy was completely mystified and slightly flustered by her behaviour.
"I dreamed that you were…you were…" Kagome was unable to finish, so she just sobbed into Inu-Yasha's robes until the dream slowly faded, leaving her only with a terrible sense of dread. She became aware of a familiar sensation. "A Shikon shard!" She jumped up and tried to follow the source. She saw someone, but when she yelled out "Hey!" the figure only jumped and began to run away. Kagome chased after her for a stretch, but she tired soon. Inu-Yasha was, of course, only too willing to continue the chase.
"Damn, she's fast!" he cursed after a time, and switched to another tactic. "If you don't stop now, I'm gonna hunt you down and kill you!" The figure immediately stopped. "Now, let's see who you are…" He grinned evilly and flexed his claws…

Kagome was studying when Inu-Yasha came back. He was carrying a struggling, yelling, silver-haired girl clad in bluejeans and a turtleneck sweater under his arm. He dropped her roughly on the ground, and she released a yelp of pain. She snatched up a stick she had fallen on, and began to beat him over the head with this. Kagome stared as Inu-Yasha sweatdropped.
"So…she has the…Shikon shard?" Kagome said dubiously.
"Yeah. I don't know where she's keeping it, though." A growing look of irritation appeared on Inu-Yasha's face. He snatched the stick out of her hand, broke it in half, and threw it somewhere off in the distance. She yelled with rage and continued to pummel him, this time with her fists. Inu-Yasha's look of irritation continued to grow. "WOULD YOU CUT THAT OUT???????!!!!!!!!" The girl just stuck her tongue out at him.
"Um, excuse me." Kagome had decided to attempt to restore order…at least, as much order as there ever was in the little motley crew.
The girl turned around and smiled. "Yes?"
"Do you have a Shikon shard?" Kagome asked. A look of total non- comprehension came over the girl's face. Kagome showed her a shard. "Like this."
"Oh! Yeah," the girl nodded. She dug into her pocket and produced, wonder of wonders – a Shikon shard!
"Give it to me!" Inu-Yasha yelled and tried to snatch it out of her hand. The girl pulled it away and stuck her tongue out at him again, then daintily placed the shard in Kagome's outstretched hand.
"Thank you," Kagome said.
"Hi, I'm Katherine," the girl introduced herself. "You?"
"I'm Kagome," Kagome replied. Silently, she noted that there was something vaguely familiar about the silver-haired girl…she just couldn't place it.
A thoughtful look came over Katherine's face and she said haltingly, "Do you…speak… English?" The look she gave Kagome was half hopeful, half pleading.
"Only a little…" Katherine's face fell, and she muttered something that Kagome could only presume was in English. At the end, she said quite clearly in Japanese, "Sh!t!"
"We have the shard…now go!" Inu-Yasha told Katherine. She obviously didn't understand what he was telling her, but she got the message from his tone. She just gave him a look of pure attitude that plainly said, "It doesn't matter that I can't understand you because even if I did, I wouldn't do a thing you told me to."
"God damn it…" Inu-Yasha *really* didn't like this girl.
"She's coming with us," Kagome told him flatly.
"What the hell? Why?!"
"Because she doesn't understand Japanese and obviously is from my time." Kagome pointed out Katherine's clothing. The look on Katherine's face was so forlorn and helpless! "She'll stay with us until we get to the well. Then she can go back." They began to walk away, but Katherine remained where she stood, looking heartbroken. But when Kagome motioned for her to come along, her face lit up and she eagerly ran over to join them.
