Chapter 1: Goodbye and Hello
It was a cool summer day in the ancient feudal Japan; Kagome noted all the signs that Fall was fast approaching with sad eyes. Standing there in front of the well with the others, she noted all the small things around her that always escaped her notice before now: the clean air, the sound of the animals in the distance, the wild uncut grass. It would be the last time she would be seeing any of it.
Naraku had been defeated, the Shinkon no Tama was whole once more, Kikyo was gone, and all the things that she needed to do were done. Now, it was time for her to finally go home; Kagome didn't want to know what kind of disaster would happen if she stayed in the past were she wasn't meant to be.
With a forced smile on her face she watched Miruko and Sango turn away then walk back towards the village with a crying Shippo in tow. After a few more moments she was alone…except for him. Inuyasha. Just looking at him, his eyes, his lips, the robe along with the prayer beads around his neck, just looking made her heart shout a hundred reasons to stay in the past; but her brain quickly pushed all those reasons away.
"Inuyasha-"
"If you're expecting me to just run up an hug you and cry, or any other crap then you're wasting your time," he told her gruffly. "Just hurry up and go if you're going to leave. Just give me the stupid Jewel and go. I don't have any likings for weepy goodbyes"
The school girl flinched as if stuck while the hanyou turned his head away meaning that he'd rather drop the subject. In response Kagome frowned at him and let out an annoyed groan. Why did he have to be so difficult and hide his feelings like that? Or, did he really mean it? The insecure part of her mind wondered.
"So that's it?" she demanded in a voice that was slightly lower than an actual shout. "Just 'give me the jewel and go'? Just why the heck should I give it to you anyway? I'm the one that's supposed to protect it!"
"Stupid bitch," Inuyasha yelled back before turning his head towards her. "I said from the very beginning that's what I wanted. Besides, it should stay here with all that non interference crap you've been spouting about the timeline you know it doesn't belong there!"
"So that's all it was this whole time?" Kagome demanded as she felt water forming in her eyes. "Fist it was a shard detector and now that's the jewel's complete all you want is the jewel?" The tears were now falling down her face, and although the image was blurred, Inuyasha looked as if he'd rather be anywhere else right now. "Well then fine take it!"
"No, wait Kagome, that's not-"
Not paying attention to the stupid hanyou Kagome ripped the necklace that held the Jewel of Four Souls from her neck and threw it at the dog demon. "Here's your stupid jewel," she yelled before turning back towards the well. Not looking back and not wanting to let Inuyasha get the final word in she yelled out a 'sit boy' before finally jumping down the hole in the ground and traveling back to her own era.
Picking himself back up off the ground Inuyasha glared at the well for a moment longer, and then his anger at the 'sit' an Kagome crumbled with a loud sigh.
Stupid girl. Why the heck did Kagome always think the worst of him at times like this? After everything she had seen, all the pain and despair caused by the jewel, did she really think that he would just let it go back with her and ruin her own life? It needed to be used, so it could be destroyed forever, not guarded. Why couldn't anyone see that?
After picking up the jewel the hanyou looked towards the well and sniffed the air. Damnit, the scent of Kagome's salty tears were still there, and they in turn caused the ache in his heart to grow by leaps and bounds. Didn't she know what her very presence did to him? Didn't she realize the feelings her absence stirred?
No of course not, she was just so damn naive about so many things.
Well, he sure as hell wouldn't just let her walk off while getting the last word like that. And…think that he hated her Inuyasha realized, albeit grudgingly. Kagome might be made at him for following but screw her! And screw those temprol paro-prda-pandora…those weird time thingies that don't make sense!
"You hear that you stupid idiots in charge up there?" Inuyasha shouted to the heavens. "I don't care about your stupid rules and crap! I'm doin what I wanna do, and I'd like to see you just TRY and stop me!" And with that Inuyasha jumped down the well…only to land on the bottom with a loud thud, and no passage of time.
-2 weeks and 500 years later-
"I'm home mom," Kagome called out as she opened the door to her house and took off her shoes before heading into the living room. Not seeing her mother or Sota around anywhere she went out back and caught Grandfather sweeping the steps to the shrine. "I'm home Grandpa." Of course with the distance between them she had to practically screech his name a second time before he noticed.
"Oh Kagome good to see you're home," he said after she walked up a little closer to him. "Your mother told me she won't be home until late tonight, so she left some money next to the phone so you could order out. I was supposed to wait till you got home to see what you and your brother wanted, but could you call it in since I'm not done yet?"
"Ok," the granddaughter replied before turning around back towards the house, and of course in the process catching sight of the well house.
Even if it was only a glimpse the sight of the building still pulled at her heart. Two weeks. It had been two weeks since she had last seen Inuyasha, the longest time she had ever been without him. I…I guess all he really cared about was the jewel after all, Kagome thought with a touch of sadness.
Oh, why the hell did she have to be so damn worked up over this anyway? Here she was in a high school, free from all the craziness that came with Inuyasha, she should be happy! Besides, this was what she told him she wanted. If he came here then time would get all messed up because he was supposed to be there, and she was supposed to be here. It HAD to be that way.
So how come I feel so bad about it? A small little voice in her mind asked.
Shutting those thoughts out of her mind, or at least trying to as she had never been very successful at it, Kagome walked back into the house and eventually up to her little brother's room. It seemed that he hardly came out of there anymore except for school or food, Mom really shouldn't have bought him that Playstation 2 for his birthday last week.
After knocking on his door a few times she opened it up and looked inside. Yep, there he was sitting in front of the television that he got along with the system like some kind of zombie. "Hey Sota, we're ordering out tonight," she told him using one of the few phrases that could pull the boy's attention away from his game. "What's your vote?"
"Do we have enough money for pizza?" he asked hopefully.
Kagome opened her mouth to reply, but then stopped before any words actually came out. Actually, come to think of it she didn't really know. "Uh, actually I forgot to check, come on and head downstairs with me. You need some exercise or you'll become a vegetable."
"Ok I'm coming," he replied a bit reluctantly after pausing his game.
A quick trip down the stairs and into the hallway later Kagome stood in front of the phone while counting the bills of yen in her hand that she had picked up. "Well it looks like enough. Just as long as you don't order any of those combo toppings," she added as an afterthought.
"I'll just have cheese then," the boy replied before Kagome picked up the phone and dialed.
"Yeah yeah just give me a damn minute and I'll be right over. Don't go anywhere," a very displeased voice on the other end of the line said before there was an audible click.
Kagome just blinked and looked at the phone.
There was a loud explosion and splinters of wood flying everywhere as a tree toppled in the forest to join about a dozen others already on the ground.
Inuyasha was livid…no, he was beyond that, the level of his anger had risen to a point where it couldn't even be described by words. It wasn't just that the well wasn't working anymore and hadn't been for the past two days, oh no that was only a small piece of wood fueling the fire.
An hour ago when he had brought the old hag priestess out of her village to see if she could sense anything wrong with it after the hanyou spent an entire day of trying to get the damn thing functioning with a variable amount of curses and blows to the ground inside of it, she had told him that she felt traces of a fucking 'divine' aura left upon the damn pile of sticks.
In laments terms a god or goddess had come down and removed the magic from the damn thing that allowed people to travel through time. Of course judging by the time period it had to of been right after Kagome left and Inuyasha made his big speech to the heavens.
Inuyasha knew why too, it was because of that speech. That old saying really was true, and the gods really were petty and cruel. Whatever ones controlled time above the rest.
Damnit! He needed to go back! Just the thought of not being with Kagome, of his last words making her cry made that damn feeling in his stomach hurt worse than ever. He needed to go dry Kagome's tears, he needed to tell her everything was going to be alright…he needed to tell her…to tell her he was in love with her.
Short of breath and with unshed tears in his eyes –he would NOT cry over this, he would not show them his pain- Inuyasha turned towards the tree standing behind him, making the shells on his necklace that held the Shikon no Tama scratch against his prayer beads. It was the holy tree of Kagome's shrine, the one that he had been sealed to for over fifty years. He could still see the remains of the vibes that held him in place near the bottom.
I should blow it up, Inuyasha thought with a frown and his fingers on the sword at his side.
A few days ago, back when Kagome was explain the paradox time thingy, she had used two examples: the well and the tree. "To put it simply I'll say it like this. Lets say that just for the heck of it Inuyasha were to draw out his sword and hack apart the tree over there. Now, since the tree is still standing on the shrine grounds in the future I know that will never happen, but if it ever did it would be a paradox because the past contradicts the future," her words rang in Inuyasha's head. He didn't even want to try to understand when she tried to explain the well, something about her never falling down the well because it was never there, but not being destroyed because she never showed up to free Inuyasha, but then being destroyed because if Inuyasha was never freed then the well would be there meaning Kagome would fall down it, but then being destroyed because she had Inuyasha break it, but not being destroyed…and so on.
Maybe he should just cut it down and make one of those stupid para-whatevers that Kagome talked about just to piss the gods off. But after taking a step towards the thing the sky suddenly started to cloud up and Inuyasha could hear thunder rumbling with the force of one of those loud truck horns from Kagome's time and wind strong enough to make the tree sway because of their force.
Suddenly Inuyasha had a sneaking suspicion that if he should try anything a bolt of lighting might just strike him down dead.
With a snarl on his face the hanyou turned his head towards the sky. "Oh, so you don't like that idea either?" he shouted to the clouds. "Damn you. DAMN YOU ALL!" The sound of thunder was the only response he got followed by a strike of lighting in the distance. "Well if you don't like that idea then how about THIS one?"
Reaching up Inuyasha grasped the Jewel of Four Souls in his hand then ripped it from its resting place, causing the shells to fall to the ground. "You know what this is right? Because if you do then you'd better be trembling in your boots right about now. Originally I was just going to use this stupid thing to become a full demon, and after you sealed up the well I was going to use it to go back to Kagome.
"But you wouldn't like that would you? You'd just find some way to push us apart again, or just be so damn unoriginal and kill me! So I'm just going to go back to my first plan, but it's not going to be that simple!" he shouted before looking down to the pink marble sized gem in his palm. "Ok you stupid marble listen up
"I wish for you to use your powers to turn me into a full demon," he commanded. "But not just any demon. I want to be stronger than my brother, stronger than Naraku, and more powerful than my father ever was! I want to be a demon unmatched in power! ONE THAT CAN MAKE THE GODS OF TIME TREMBLE IN FEAR!"
The sound of a phone ringing brought Inuyasha out of his dream before he fell out of his cushioned chair and onto the floor below. Stupid chair, and stupid room with its stupid black motif and crappy evaluator music in the background. Why the hell was he at this section of the network anyway?
Oh yeah, sleeping on the job and letting that soul escape from confinement. But I caught it before it got back to Earth didn't I? Stupid Boss, the demon thought.
Muttering a curse Inuyasha picked himself off the black marble floor and looked up onto his equally black colored marble desk to pick up his black colored receiver. "Yeah, yeah just give me a damn minute and I'll be right over. Don't go anywhere," he said before hanging up the phone.
I can't fucking believe this, Inuyasha thought before calling up a computer screen in front of him. I'm one of if not the best damn warrior in this hellhole and she has me doing fucking WISH duty like some damn fairy godmother or something. He really missed the good ol' days before that stupid doublet system was implemented, when you could slaughter gods left and right. Now the only thing he was really good for was guarding crap or causing trouble on Earth. The last option was of course out of the question since Inuyasha actually kind of liked humans, and he didn't know if he'd ever really run into a relative of an old friend and ruin their life.
"Ok let's see here," he mumbled before bringing up the reasons why his new client was getting her little twisted hearts desire fulfilled. "Temporarily caused much unrest in family as well as school, and the main reason is…hey multiple temporal incursions into the past. Well isn't that nice, must be giving Urd one hell of a headache," the demon mumbled with a slight smile on his lips.
Inuyasha really hated the three goddesses that controlled time, not just out of principle thanks to the fact they were the whole reason for his ascension into a greater demon, but Urd and Skuld in particular were just really, really annoying. The fact that he was pretty certain one of those two was his doublet partner just seemed to make that fact even worse.
His little joy on whatever pain this mortal caused the goddess of the past was cut short however when a beeper on the side of his jeans started to go off, reminding him that he had a job to do. "Ok, I'm going," Inuyasha, demon 1st class, mumbled before making a little motion above his head and disappearing from the demonic dimension with a puff of smoke.
A second later he reappeared in what looked like a modern Japanese house through the smoke. Oh hell, he hated Japan, too many memories that he couldn't forget thanks to what he was. When the smoke cleared Inuyasha found himself standing behind a girl with long black hair in a blue high school uniform. "Hey could you turn around, I really hate explaining this twice. So…" he just trailed off when the girl actually complied.
Staring at the phone for a moment Kagome wondered if she had dialed the wrong number, or if the person on the other line was just the rudest person ever. No wait, that title had been taken about five hundred years ago.
"Hey could you turn around, I really hate having to explain this twice," a man behind her said making the miko jump before turning around with a jumble of thoughts going off in her head. Someone was in her house, and had jus managed to sneak up behind her no less. Was it a burglar? A murder, or…"In-Inuyasha?" the schoolgirl said with a massive amount of confusion and surprise in her voice.
Well, the person in front of her certainly looked like Inuyasha…more or less. He was the same height, same golden eyes, same fangs judging by his open mouth, same necklace of prayer beads, and had the long white hair behind him tied back into a ponytail. Although there were some major differences: the dog ears were gone, on his forehead there was two diagonal red colored slashes, and since when did Inuyasha wear jeans, shoes, and black T-shirts, and was that a pager hanging from his pants?
"Kagome," "Inuyasha," they both said at the same time right over one another. "What are you doing here?"
AN: Well there's the first chapter is complete. And if you haven't already guessed this is a crossover with Oh My Goddess. Tell me what ya think.
Preview of next chapter: Inuyasha sits Kagome down and gives her some disturbing facts about some of the ways the universe works as well as a brief explanation of just what he's been up to for the past 500 years (and two weeks). It's a tearful, sweet, oh what am I saying it's going to be loud with a lot of shouting with a high school girl throwing things at a certain demon. Oh yeah, Kagome makes her wish too.
Inuyasha: If you want to, I can make it all go away. All the pain, all the memories, everything that's making you feel this way. When this is over you'll never have to see me again and you can go back to being a normal girl, all you have to do is ask for it.
Next time on Inuyasha: Don't I Wish.
