Category: Inuyasha x Hellraiser

Pairing: Kagome Higuarshi x Pinhead

"There's my favorite little girl!"

Kagome ran up to the blonde haired blue eyed man that was her father and happily jumped into his arms. He was always traveling usually to the Americas or different places in Europe but he always returned, never soon enough for her tastes but always soon enough. Momma was staying in the hospital cause her sugar was messed up and she'd have to stay at the hospital, and Gramps had gone with her until daddy showed up so now it was just the two of them.

As the man placed her down, he reached into his bag and dug around in his bag until he finally fished out what he was looking for.

Kagome cocked her head to the side as she stared at the small little metallic box.

"What is it?" she questioned slightly quickly grabbing it from her father's hands curiously. "It seems bad." muttered the eight year old quietly.

"Can't be that bad, little one. It's only a puzzle box. Usually if you figure it out it'll open and there might be something in their for you if you manage it."

He couldn't even finish before Kagome let out a girlish shriek of, "Yatta!" before running off into the shrine house, the puzzle box never leaving her side.

She had been there now, moving different dials and knobs around for hours trying to complete this stupid box but it still wouldn't open.

'Meeeeeeeoooooooww.'

Kagome jumped as a small tabby curled himself around her short legs, rubbing his head against her knee in hopes of gaining her attention.

"Buyo!" the little girl exclaimed startling the young kitten scurried off into one of the smaller houses of the shrine.

As she began to chase after the cat, the puzzle box completely forgotten as she threw it to the other side of the well house, never noticing that it clicked open in retaliation of hitting the wooden well.

"Buyo! You shouldn't run off like that, silly." exclaimed Kagome finally finding the feline in one of the storage rooms.

However as soon as she looked around the grounds she noticed that it was not as it was when she first awoke that day. Her joy at finally seeing her father again quickly crushed at the carnage before her now, Buyo dropping to her feet at scurrying to the only pure thing left on the shrine, the Goshinboku.

"Daddy! Daddy!" the girl screamed running into the main housing area of the shrine.

Kagome found her father on the floor of the kitchen and slowly made her way to him with tears streaming down her face, though before she could reach him a figure blurred in front of her and she let out a small shriek falling back onto the floor a few feet away from her unmoving father.

"You … are different. What is your name?"

The man's voice was eerily calm, it was quiet yet it echoed around her head, as she horrifyingly looked at the being crouched in front of her. Nails were placed strategically in his head, his eyes were pitch black and his skin was a sickly white color. She never even realized she answered him until he began speaking again.

"Enjoy your time now, when you are ready we shall come for you again. Guard the box with your life, for we will take it in the end, Kagome."

Kagome fearful and just wanting to get to her papa nodded her head hurriedly and watched fascinated as the man and three other strange looking people disappeared and she curled into her dad's warm blood covered body.

She fell asleep like that never noticing that a dark shadow still watched over her.
