Hello everyone! So writing my first cross over. I always thought it was weird that there wasn't a lot of Samurai Champloo and Inuyasha stories. Then I realized there were actually different time periods hahaha. Annny whoo, hope you guys enjoy, review please! Also, I don't really know if they knew what era's the lived in but I made it so. Also, unlike Inuyasha manga, Kagome is from the 2000's. I also don't know if they have raspberries in Japan, but they were sounding great when I was writing.

Disclaimer: I do not own Samurai Champloo or Inuyasha. That's kind of impossible, no matter how much I would like it.
Unexpected
You a hundred years off.
It was like any other time she crossed through the well after the very first time. It still glowed a sweet blue as she fell through, warming her body, causing her to travel to the past. But this time, something was different, something felt different. There was no Inuyasha leaning over the top, whining about her spending so much time in the future, no Shippo bouncing around on the top. No, actually she could hear no one.
"Hello?" she called out, her soft voice ringing through the well. Slowly she climbed up, her large sun flower yellow back, pulling her down.
"Inuyasha? Sango? Is anyone there?"
"Yeah I'm here," Kagome slipped in surprise as she came to the top, only for a hand to grasp onto hers and lifted her the rest of the way. The arm was tan and muscular, with blue tattoos on it. It lead up to a lean man, his face set in a easy going smile, the ends of his lips coming up slightly, his ink black hair stood wildly and a sword strapped to his back. His clothing were loose and his eyes slightly drooped and blackened. He roughly pulled her out of the well, setting her on the edge as she tried to process everything. She glanced around, still no Inuyasha. She looked back at her savior with a smile.
" Thank you, it would have really hurt to fall back," She started to sit up, as she glanced around. Two other people were standing at a short distance. One was a tall man with ghastly white skin and darkened hair. His hair was held up, long pieces spilling around his face. He wore round glances, making his narrow eyes almost seem large. His lips were thin and set in a line as he watched, a hand on one of his swords strapped to his hip. The other was a young girl, with chocolate hair and brown wide eyes with a pink kimono that fidgeted, turning from Kagome to the man next to her. Her hair was also pinned up, her eye lashes fluttering on her soft cheek bones. Kagome glanced around again, eyes brows furrowing. Inuyasha must have been waiting for her at Kaede's. She sighed before smiling at the tall man and turning towards the direction of the village.
"Hey where do you think your going, wench?" Kagome's eye brow twitched as she turned back to the rude wild hair man.
"First, my name is Kagome. KA-GO-ME. Second, I was just going to the village down that path, my friends should be there."
Mugen watched the strange, delusional girl. She obviously wasn't around there. Not with that exposing kimono. Maybe it was a new whore outfit. But it didn't leave too much to the imagination. He grinned when he thought of her as a whore. An easy free lay. Her legs were long and slim, barely covered with a thin green kimono. Her hair was the color of raven wings that hung loosely at her back. Her skin was a soft cream color with her high cheek bones and round cinnamon color eyes.
"Who said I helped you for free?" he leered at the women, hoping she caught the drift. Her eyes widened in recognition before she smiled softly at him.
"Oh, I'm sorry. Here." she opened her unusual large yellow bag before handing him something. He looked at it questionably before looking back at her. His face was set in a frown as he stared at the crinkling bag. She laughed before reaching for it.
"Here, its food. Inside the bag is food you can eat, just open it up." She ripped it open before picking out a chip and tossing it into her mouth. He followed suit, overwhelmed by its saltiness. Kagome glanced at the other two as they made their way towards the two. She smiled and bowed, repeating her name before instructing how to eat her weird food. The girl was maybe her age, maybe a few years younger, smiled lopsided after munching at the food, calling herself Fuu. The taller man looked over Kagome, eyeing her soft legs and outfit before calling himself Jin. He glanced at Mugen, who replaced his frown with a look of gluttony, devouring the bag of chips rather quickly.
"Well it was nice to meet you guys but I have to get going, my friends are at the village down this path," In between chips Fuu piped up.
"There's no village down there, we just came through. The closest village is about a day's trip. And we're heading to it which is in the opposite direction." Kagomes eyes widen before she looked at both Mugen and Jin, who nodded in agreement.
"That's not possible, was it destroyed by demons? Its not that hard to miss. Its just right there like a week ago," Mugen and Jin glanced at each other, deciding the girl was insane. Cute but completely insane. There was no such thing as demons. They were myths, legends, stories told as children to keep them scared and in line. Fuu's eyes soften as Kagome's fear radiated off of her. She grasped the girl's hand before smiling.
"Why don't we walk that way and check it out, ok?" Kagome nodded and started walking with the group, glancing over her shoulder at the well as she left. It didn't take them long before Kagome to gasp in surprise. Mugen slightly jumped as Jin laid a hand on his sword. Mugen smiled smugly as he understood.
"Its not there," Mugen snorted before lifting his hands behind his head.
"Of course it isn't, we just passed through," Kagome collapsed on the top of the hill, it overlooking a soft green field.
"Its not there," she whispered again from her seat. Fuu plopped down next to her, her head tilted as she watched Kagome.
"Its ok, we could look for them, if you want. You could come with us for a bit till you find them." Kagome wiped at the escaping tears with a smile. Fuu kind of liked the weird girl. She was fun and had food. Plus it would be nice to have a girl around. In seconds Kagome's eyes changed from extreme sadness to realization, to utter depression. She brought a thin hand to her eyes, covering them.
"Inuyasha," she let slip out from her lips before she knew it. Fuu tugged at Kagome with a smile.
"Cmon, lets make a fire for the night and we'll go to the nearest village and see if they've seen your friends tomorrow." Kagome smiled wearingly before nodding her head. Its possible that during the week she was gone, that village was moved or destroyed. Or maybe she was wrong and Kaede's village was in a different direction. They were unlikely situations but not totally off.
Mugen laid lazily on his side by the fire which Jin had built as he sat by a tree. Fuu slept on her back, soft snores coming from her lips. Kagome sat up, restless as the sun slowly set behind the rolling hills. Kagome mumbled along the lines of getting some water before disappearing into the woods with two empty water bottles. Jin stood up as well, slowly making his way in the direction of Kagome.
"Where the hell you going?"
"Its dangerous for a young women to be alone,"
"Then I'll go, she would be safer with me anyways,"
"Highly unlikely, you probably would attack her,"
"You say anything just to piss me off, don't you ass hole?" They frown at each other, Mugen's eye brow twitching as Jin's eyes narrowed. Both stood, grasping at their swords.
"I'm back!" Kagome called out, walking back with her bottles filled and her shirt brought up in a make shift basket filled with raspberries.
"Damn, where you get the food?" Kagome softly laughed as she pulled a towel out and laying the raspberries on top. Jin eyed Kagome as she pulled out all the weird items from her bag.
"When… Where I come from, we had to scavenge a little more then normal. "
"When did you come from?" The soft spoken Jin asked, his eyes set on her. Her eyes widened at his question before recovering. She laughed, sipping from a bottle before handing one to each man.
" Don't you mean where? Either way, its none of your business." She felt a soft blush coming onto her face as she felt his gaze. He didn't miss her slip up but would let it slide. Mugen grabbed a handful of berries, stuffing in his mouth as he spoke.
"So got any more food in that bag?" Kagome scrunched her nose in distaste.
"Don't talk with your mouthful, its rude. Geeze your just as bad as Inuyasha.."
"Who's this Inuyasha person you keep talking about," It was silent as she smiled to herself.
"He's this guy, I know... He's one of the people I'm searching for,"
"Is he your lover?" It was silent as Jin spoke up. Mugen was watched as her emotions ran across her face so easily, it was unusual for him. Sorrow passed her face then, almost like regret.
"No, he's in love with someone else. Her names Kikyo. She's actually… well related to me sort of .. But she's a better Miko then me."
"Miko?" Both boys said glancing at her, who's face was ablaze.
"Yeah, she's had more practice then me. She was raised one and I only started working on my powers when I was 15." Again they were caught off guard.
"How old are you?" She huffed before glaring at Mugen.
" 17 now, and a much better Miko then I used to me," She waved her hand around, indicating the end of that conversation.
"But what about you guys? Just wanderers? Why are you wandering with Fuu? You both obviously aren't related to her."
"Na she saved us, so she asked up to be her body guard so she can find the sunflower smelling samurai."
"And you actually stayed?" Mugen snorted before answering again.
"The sad thing is that we tried to get away but fate led us back together. She's always getting into situations and needing saving, its really annoying. Plus its not like I got anything else to do," Kagome smiled sweetly at him, covering her mouth as she laughed.
"That's too cute, you care about her but just wont say it,"
"What wench? You deaf?" She laughed again. Her eyes softened as she looked at him, showing a vulnerability he has never seen.
"Just like Inuyasha," she whispered as she pulled out a blanket. At that the look was gone, fading behind another smile.
"Well good night Mugen, Jin," They both mumbled a goodnight before drifting off.
"Hey," She whispered only to get a groan from Mugen.
"What now?"
"What era is it? Sengoku?" Mugen raised an eye brow and looked over at her.
"It's the Tokugawa era now. You're a hundred years off,"
