A/N- I don't often like to go along with the bunch of crossovers that everyone seems to be doing (ex. YYH/IY HP/IY) But I read some of them, and they were really lame and boring. Kagome gets sent to Hogwarts for no good reason, and like she and Harry (or Draco or whoever) fall in love at first sight. So I decided to try and write a Harry Potter/ Inuyasha crossover to see if I could do better. Hope I do:)

By the way, if I offended anyone who is actually writing a HP/IY crossover with the author's note above, I'm really sorry. I didn't say that all HP/IY fanfics were lame, just some of the ones that I had read.

Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter or Inuyasha. They belong to J.K Rowling and Rumiko Takahashi. The rest of this story however, does belong to me.

Chapter 1- Ending to a Journey

"Kagome-chan, watch out!"

Kagome whipped her head around and jumped away just in time to avoid a tentacle which struck the ground where she had been moments ago. Hiraikotsu whizzed through the air, slicing through it. Sango came running in.

"Kagome-chan, are you ok?"

Kagome smiled. "I'm fine, Sango-chan." A flash of movement at the corner of her eye caught her attention.

"Sango-chan, look out!"

Kagome threw herself in front of Sango and held up her hands subconsciously. A blast of blinding white light shot out from her hands. It hit a mass of tentacles, which had been aiming at them. They were purified instantly.

Sango stared at Kagome.

"Wha-"

Kagome stared at her hands.

"Discovered some of your powers, haven't you?" An emotionless voice said as an arrow zipped through the air, purifying a clump of tentacles.

Kagome whirled around. "Kikyo!"

Kikyo stood, surrounded by her shinidamachu, and holding her yumi. A full quiver of arrows was slung across one shoulder. "Hello, my reincarnation."

"What are you doing here?" Sango asked heatedly.

"To help defeat Naraku, of course." Kikyo replied.

They all turned towards the battle scene.

Inuyasha was attacking Naraku furiously with Tetsusaiga. On the other side, Sesshoumaru was doing the same with Toukijin. The Taiyoukai of the Western Lands had joined them a few weeks ago, right before the final battle. Of course, he had been met with an angry and extremely stubborn Inuyasha, but after few "sits" and some negotiations, he had grudgingly accepted Sesshoumaru and his companions.

Miroku was fighting against Kanna, who strangely enough, was unwilling to suck Miroku's soul into her mirror. Perhaps another spawn of Naraku was gaining a mind of her own.

Kirara and Shippo teamed up together, soaring through the sky filled with miasma. Shippo fired out foxfire tirelessly while Kirara bit and slashed at the bloodthirsty youkai that swarmed the sky.

Rin and Jaken sat on Ah-Un's back, fighting off the saimyoushou. Jaken fired streams of fire from his staff while Ah-Un blasted the saimyoushou and any youkai that got too close, with beams of energy.

Kouga and his wolf pack were fighting against Kagura. He had given the shards in his legs to Kagome, and was now trying to fight without them. However, Kagura had no intention of actually fighting, so she purposely sent her attacks just a little bit behind Kouga. He sensed this and put on a great show of kicks and punches that always seemed to halt just before they hit Kagura.

Sango, Kagome, and Kikyo leapt into battle. They fought their way through the masses of tentacles until they were fighting side by side with Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru.

"This is it Naraku!" Inuyasha cried. "You're going down!"

Naraku laughed a sinister laugh. "Fool, did you really believe that I would let you bring me down so easily?" A purple barrier flared around his body.

"Kaze no Kizu!" Inuyasha shouted. The Wind Scar headed straight for Naraku, but was reflected back.

Naraku chortled. "Pathetic hanyou, your Wind Scar will not work on my barriers." However, his laughter turned into a cry of anger when he saw two arrows zipping through the air, heading straight at him.

The two arrows pierced through the barrier, one headed for the nearly complete Shikon no Tama, while the other headed for his heart.

"Noooo!" Naraku howled as he felt his body become purified by the holy energy in the two arrows. A blinding white light engulfed him. When it cleared, all that remained of the once mighty Naraku was the chunk of Shikon, resting on the ground.

Kagome walked slowly over, and taking her sliver of the jewel, fused it with the chunk that Naraku had. Immediately, two things happened.

Dead souls flew out of Kikyo's body as she collapsed onto the ground. One of them flew back into Kagome who glowed briefly as her soul returned to her body.

And a pure pink aura flared out from the complete Shikon, engulfing Kagome, and lifting her off the ground.

"Kikyo!" Inuyasha cried, sheathing Tetsusaiga and catching her in his arms. He gently brushed away her windswept bangs. "Kikyo…" He hugged her lifeless body tightly.

A dull ache came over Kagome's heart as she looked upon this tender scene. She had long accepted that Inuyasha's heart belonged to the undead miko, and so the pain was now nothing more than an ache, a longing.

The Shikon no Tama pulsed in Kagome's hand as her hair whipped around her face. She could sense the two souls in the jewel. The youkai's soul was trying to influence her with its evil, while Midoriko's soul seemed to just be patiently waiting for her wish.

Kagome turned to look at each of her friends.

Sango was crouched over Kohaku, sobs racking her body. Kohaku, after regaining his memories, had taken out the Shikon shard from his back and given it to Kagome. During the battle, a barrier Kagome had put up with the help of Miroku had protected his body. Now, the barrier was gone and Sango's tears spilled freely onto his lifeless form. Miroku stood over Sango, his happiness at the Kazaana having disappeared clouded with his sadness for Sango. Kirara stood protectively over the two of them but her ears were drooped. Shippo was curled up against one of Kirara's legs, exhausted. He had seen bloodshed before but somehow, this battle had sobered him.

Sesshoumaru was standing as emotionless as ever. His usually spotless kimono was splattered with blood. Rin clung tightly to one of his legs. Jaken and Ah-Un sat next to them, worn out from the fight.

Kouga knelt by his pack, tending to their wounds. Ginta and Hakku's breathing were shallow, and many of his wolves had deep gashes in theirs sides.

Kagura and Kanna stood off from the rest of the group.

And Kagome knew.

She knew what her wish would be. She had come to know all of her friends from this era well, and she knew that deep down, each of them held a desire, a wish.

She would grant that wish.

The Shikon pulsed again and this time it picked up on Kagome's innermost thoughts. It began to glow.

Tendrils of pink energy stretched out from the bubble Kagome was encased in. They headed for Inuyasha and Kikyo.

Kikyo's body began to glow a soft pink, which stretched out and enclosed Inuyasha too. Magenta stripes appeared on each side of his face and blue stripes ran down each wrist. His puppy ears disappeared, only to be replaced by elegant elfin ears. A blue crescent appeared on his forehead, marking him as royalty. Yet he did not notice any of these changes as he happily hugged his love.

Kikyo still looked the same, but her human ears had disappeared and were replaced by elfin ears. Her nails had turned into claws, but she did not have a symbol on her forehead, marking that she was not of noble birth. Pink stripes ran down each cheek.

The two lovers looked at Kagome, their eyes thanking her for bringing happiness to them. But she was not looking at them anymore.

Her eyes now rested on the woman who she had come to regard as her sister. Sango was still crying, but this time, the tears were of joy. She hugged her brother tightly, as if she was afraid that if she let go, she would lose him again. Miroku smiled and Kirara, now in her smaller form, trilled happily. Shippo was snuggled up against his father's pelt, surrounded by a glowing foxfire. She wished that she could have brought his father back, but Kami seemed to not allow it. They all turned to Kagome with looks of gratitude and happiness.

She looked away and smiled when she saw Sesshoumaru's group. Sesshoumaru was staring at his right arm, as if in wonder. He looked directly at Kagome and a brief flash of gratitude flickered across his face. He nodded, almost in acknowledgement. Kagome smiled, and accepted that, knowing that the Taiyoukai would not go farther than that.

She looked away to Kouga and grinned. She had granted Kouga's speed again, as he had been quite miserable without it. He was now laughing and whirling Ginta and Hakku, whose wounds had been healed, around. His wolves howled joyously and ran around the three.

Kagome turned to Kagura and Kanna and smiled. Kagura had her hand on her chest in amazement. She could feel her heart beating again. Kanna was emotionless but Kagome saw gratitude in her eyes. Kagura smiled, a real smile now, at Kagome and her scarlet eyes shined with unshed tears.

Kagome smiled softly and closed her eyes. Her task here was done. Her journey finished, and she was standing at the end of her path. She knew that she would never able to return to this era again, and knew that she must say goodbye.

"Kagome."

She opened her eyes.

Inuyasha was standing up now, one arm wrapped loosely around Kikyo.

"You're going?"

She nodded sadly, wishing it were not the answer, wishing she could lie.

His eyes glistened. "Will we meet again?"

Kagome looked around at all her friends. "Maybe...if Fate is kind...Maybe we will meet again."

Her eyes now fell upon her human friends. Sango and Miroku. She knew that she probably wouldn't ever see them again. Her other friends were youkai, and they would live to see her in the future. But her friend the taijiya, and the houshi, would not live that long.

"Sango… Miroku… maybe I will meet you in your future lives…"

Sango was crying again, but out of sadness now. Miroku held her tightly, but his eyes were also sad. Both had come to love the girl from the future with her kind and forgiving ways.

Kagome gripped the Shikon a little tighter. Two tendrils of energy spiraled out from it and entwined themselves around Sango and Miroku. They glowed briefly as the energy seemed to be absorbed into their bodies. Kagome did not know what the jewel had done, but knew it had done it for a reason.

A tear slipped down Kagome's check. She knew this was it. It was time to go.

The Shikon pulsed again in her hands and it glowed even brighter. The energy Kagome had been encased in started to whirl, and the portal to the future opened as the power from the jewel whirled faster and faster.

"Kagome!" The last thing she heard was Inuyasha shouting her name.

Well... 1st chappie done. How do you like it? I didn't touch on Harry Potter at all in this chap, I was wrapping up the end of Kagome's travels in the past. The next chapter will do a bit more explaining.

Oh and the final battle with Naraku, I haven't watched the parts in the anime about Hakureizan (sp?). So this chapter was written without those episodes in mind. And yes, in this story, Kagura is still alive.

Review please! I usually review your stories if you do mine.
