Okay, this is going to be another one of my teasers. In fact, I just might turn this into a challenge as time goes on, but we'll see. As always, I find this idea very original in my own opinion. I haven't seen another IY ficcie like this. I hope you all enjoy it, and don't forget to REVIEW!!!
Couple: A little bit of K/S
Disclaimers: The anime Inu-Yasha does NOT belong to me.
Claims: The story plot, DOES belong to me, so DON'T STEAL!!!
Notes: READ THESE!!!
1) Like the episode with the little ghost girl, Maya, (or was it Mayu?) ghost's, or spirits, are somewhat physical. While *normal* people/youkai can't feel them, they can move solid objects and such. But because they are not totally physical, they can still walk through walls and things like that. I guess you could say that my ghosts/spirits can choose when they're "physical" and when they're "spiritual"
2) Also, like in the movie Casper, ghosts/spirits wander the earth because they have unfinished buisness. They don't know what unfinished buisness they have, though.
3) I'm basing the idea for the Cauldron of Rebirth off of Sailor Moon. Basically, when everybody dies, their souls go into the Cauldron of Rebirth (located in the Underworld) to be cleansed and reborn. So, in a way, *everybody* is a reincarnation of somebody. Ghosts/spirits can't go to the Cauldron until they've finished whatever unfinished buisness they have.
4) Like all dogs, Inu-youkai aren't born with their eyes open. However, they open their eyes much sooner than real dogs do. Also, they are born with all of their hair, and they're born in their dog form. They stay in their dog form until they open their eyes.
5) Pups are quite intelligent, and are capable of a little speech after opening their eyes.
Wandering Spirit (Until I get a better title)
Chapter: 1
By: Renangel
She sighed and put her chin in her hands as she sat down on the antique dresser, staring at the tiny pup that had been brought into the world by Inu-Mashiro's mate, Mikazuki, just a few hours earlier. The tiny thing couldn't open its eyes yet, (and would not be able to until a few days later) but that didn't matter, he could still sense her. All new-born pups could, for every inu-youkai was blessed with the gift to sense wandering spirits (they were also refered to as ghosts, but she prefered the title "wandering spirit") at birth. Unfortunately, when their eyes finally open, most pups loose that gift. In fact, in all of her years wandering this earth, about 600 or so, not a single inu-youkai had seen her.
"I have high hopes for you...what was your name again? Oh yeah, Sesshoumaru. It's such a queer name, don't you think? But then again, I guess your mother has high hopes for you, being the son of a taiyoukai and all. I have high hopes for you too, you know. Maybe you'll be able to see me, and then I can finally return to the Cauldron of Rebirth." she said cheerfully. Over the years, she'd developed a habit of talking to herself. It kept her somewhat sane, and no one would be able to hear her, anyways.
There was a moment of silence, and then she sighed again. "Who am I kidding? I've been saying that for the past 550 years to every newborn pup and not a single one has seen me! Arrrgg! What do the gods want from me!?! Why can't they just let me move on!?! I wasn't a bad person! I never did anything wrong! Well...there was that time when I stole Riko-chan's doll, but that doesn't count! I was five for cryin' out loud!" Angrily, she slammed a fist down onto the dresser. There was a 'thump' and the wood cracked. She looked down to see that there was now a mini crater around her fist. "Oops."
The door flew open so violently that it almost fell off of its hinges. At the entrance-way stood Inu-Mashiro, who was looking around the room frantically. Seeing no intruders, he dashed over to the sleeping pup and picked it up. "Sesshou! Are you okay!?! Daddy thought he heard something from this room!" He said frantically while checking Sesshoumaru for any injuries.
She laughed. It was so funny to see all the first-time dad's go beserk over every little thing. At the tinest sound of discomfort, they'd be rushing over to check everthing, acting like the world was going to end. They were ten times worse if their first born was a girl. "Ah, Sesshie," she sighed, still chuckling, "your dad's a good guy, but let me tell ya, he's gonna be providing me with some entertainment for the next few years."
It was almost as if Sesshoumaru heard her laughter, for he turned his head in her direction and mewled. It was a tiny sound, and it had her melting. "Aww...how cute!" Jumping down from the dresser, she walked over to the pup and gently ran her fingers through its snow white fur.
Meanwhile, Inu-Mashiro, who was delighted in the sound, had started yelling for everybody to come hear for themselves. As people came pouring into the room, she stepped back. While they couldn't do her any harm, it was still felt a bit...odd having so many people walk through you. She walked towards the wall and when she looked back, she saw Inu-Mashiro walk through another door that led to his bedroom. "I'm taking him to my mate." was the last thing she heard from the over-excited Lord.

"One-thousand two-hundred ninty-eight, one-thousand two-hundred ninty-nine, one-thousand three-hundred. One-thousand three-hundred and one, one-thousand three-hundred and two, one-thousand three-hundred and three..." her voice droned on and on as she lay on the ground, staring at the roof tiles of the palace. She'd been counting them for the past two hours. "One-thousand three-hundred twenty-three, one-thousand three-hundred twenty-four, one-thousand three-hundred twenty-hey! Watch where you're going!" She shouted suddenly when someone ran through her. "Geesh, I get no respect around here! ... As if I get *any* respect anywhere!"
She grunted and twirled a strand of midnight-black raven colored hair around one finger. "Now, where was I? Oh yeah, one-thousand three-hundred twenty-five, one-thousand three-hundred twen-oh why do I even bother!?!" She cut herself off as another hoard of yokai ran through her. Grumpily, she crossed her arms across her chest and glared at the tiles. Loudly, she started to cuss, that is, until she heard what the other youkai were saying to one-another.
"Really!?! The Prince has opened his eyes!?!"
"Yeah, he did! At least, that's what I heard!"
"You know what? I heard that Sesshoumaru-sama's finally taken his humanoid form!"
"They say he's going to grow up into the hottest youkai around!" Several maids giggled at this.
She wasn't interested in anything but the fact that the young prine had finally opened his eyes. In a flash, she'd gotten up and started sprinting down the hallway, towards the nusery room. For once, the feeling of people walking through you didn't bother her.
When she finally reached the nursery room, she slowed down. Suddenly, she was apprehensive. Would Sesshoumaru be able to see her? Would she finally be able to move on to her next life? Or would this be yet another disappointment? All these questions swirled around in her mind as she slowly entered the room. "Come on. Get a hold of yourself, Kagome!" she berated herself, "It's not like you haven't gone through this before! ... Yeah, *snort* and every time I find out that they can't see me." Still...a little flicker of hope had been sparked within her.
Kagome heasitated a bit before taking a deep breath (not that she really needed to breath, but old habits die hard!) and walked over to the pup. The next moment she would remember for the rest of her life...err, afterlife.
Startling gold met cerulean blue.
Sesshoumaru looked deep into Kagome's eyes for a moment. That moment seemed like an eternity. His molten gold eyes lit up with joy and he clapped his little hand while giggling. "Mi, Mi!" he giggled, pointing a chubby finger at her. "Miko!"

TADAA!!!!
Well, you found out who the ghost was! ^^ I was going to keep you guys in suspense for another chapter, but I decided to be nice.
Why does Kagome need an Inu-youkai to see her?
Why is Kagome dead in the first place?
When will I update?
All this will be answered in the next chapter...IF you people REVIEW!!!!
