Title: Wishes
Chapter: 1
Note: This is a three-way crossover.
Timeline: After the end of YYH, goes slightly AU from the accepted facts. I also change past canon facts sometimes. IY, I'm betting you all know anything I talk about that's canon. BtVS is roughly early to middle season six, though you won't see a lot of them besides Dawn until later chapters.

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha, Yu Yu Hakusho, or Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Chapter 2 - Introductions

In the Reikai, a room had been set aside for the three from other dimensions with Keiko to watch over them. It looked surprisingly like an ordinary room; two bunk beds set up, one bunk bed against one wall, the other across from it. There were no windows, which made the occupants a bit nervous as they were used to seeing light streaming in from a window. The occupants that were awake anyway. Which currently meant Kagome was the only one nervous.

She sighed and sat up, realizing she wasn't about to get anymore sleep in such a strange setting. The walls were cream colored, not a bad shade, but Kagome wasn't really interested in the room so much as the other occupants. She immediately noticed her brother was underneath her, and that the girl who had previously been in the demon's grasp was across from her in the other top bunk. Dawn was underneath the previously kidnapped girl.

Kagome quietly slipped off of her bunk, reveling in the feeling of being awake. Her energy was still low, but she was awake, and she wasn't going to stay in bed to wait until someone came and told her what was going on. She'd waited for others to decide what to do too many times before.

She checked the room, checking one door and seeing a bathroom, another was, thankfully enough, a closet. It had exactly four outfits in it. She hissed upon seeing the miko's clothes, hakama and kimono almost exactly the same as Kikyou's. Only the difference in the color mollified her irritation. The bottom was a nice green color. Why wear red anyway? It didn't exactly blend in with the forest. The white was no different, but Kagome decided she'd have to settle with it. She wasn't going to take the clothes obviously meant for the other girls. Kagome snickered slightly and wondered what the Dawn would think when she saw her own outfit.

Kagome slid into the apparent bathroom and paused, baffled as she looked at the bath. It didn't appear to have the normal plumbing features. She shrugged and reached her hand towards the showerhead to test it. Perhaps there was something there.

Kagome quickly removed her hand and almost screeched, glad she'd placed the clothes at the edge of the bathroom. The showerhead had sensed the movement inside its domain and focused on it, targeting her. She was glad she was changing out of these clothes anyway. Kagome sighed and got to work figuring out how everything worked.

Back in the room Keiko stirred, hearing water nearby. She opened tired eyes and groaned as she remembered the day before. She'd been kidnapped. That hadn't been fun. Then some people had dropped from the sky and they had saved her. Specifically two who she'd thought she'd heard were siblings before they had made the demon turn into ash.

She frowned and looked around the room. They'd been brought here after they'd gone through the portal, pushed into the room and told to sleep. Well, her and the two maybe-siblings. Dawn had been bandaged up somewhere else, then been dragged in already asleep. Keiko's eyes narrowed as she remembered the Spirit Detectives had basically ignored them after they'd gone through the portal. Arrogant males.

Apparently the general anger radiating from Keiko disturbed the peaceful air in the room, as both younger teens began to stir. Dawn sat up first, managing not to hit her head. Souta wasn't so lucky.

"Ow! Damnit! That was my head!" His swearing didn't go unnoticed as the water stopped and Kagome peeked out of the bathroom, towel wrapped around her as she glared at her brother.

"Souta! Just because Inuyasha was your hero doesn't mean you have to swear like him!"

Dawn instantly perked up upon seeing Kagome's wet hair and Kagome found herself and her miko robes shoved out the door as Dawn shoved her out and locked herself into the bathroom.

"That was rude," Kagome muttered, then shrugged it off. She'd do the same thing given the chance.

Kagome froze as she sensed the auras from yesterday's battlefield approaching. "Shit! I'm not dressed! Damn demons, why can't they have a better sense of timing!"

Kagome ignored Souta's glare and simply smirked at his mutter. "You swear more than I do. I think if anyone picked up something from Inuyasha it's you."

Kagome shrugged and decided to just get dressed under the covers of her bed or in the closet. She quickly checked her clothing and then gave an impressive growl for a human. "Damn it! Where's my underwear!"

Unfortunately, that was when the Spirit Detectives stepped in. All four boys came to a halt upon seeing Kagome in nothing but a towel. Kagome froze and stared at the four boys as they stared at her. Then she narrowed her eyes and walked up to them. Down to the last one they looked her up and down and Kagome's eyes narrowed to slits. She smiled sweetly, grabbed the edge of the door, and said, "Excuse me."

Then the door slammed in their faces. Souta began snickering as his sister's face went redder than Inuyasha's clothes. Keiko slipped off of her bed and glared at the door. "I'm sorry about that. YOU'D THINK THEY'D LEARN HOW TO KNOCK!"

Kagome and Souta both exchanged nervous glances as the girl went from speaking normally to shouting through the door to the boys who had previously been staring in. Another voice floated back. "WHERE'S THE FUN IN THAT?"

Keiko glared and muttered, "That was Yusuke."

Kagome's eyes narrowed again. "I'll remember that."

Dawn came out of the bathroom scowling, also wrapped in a towel. "Where are the clothes? Oh, Kagome, you left some clothes in the bathroom."

Before Dawn had finished her sentence Kagome had taken her miko robes and gone back into the bathroom, quickly pointing towards the closet on the way. She locked herself in, grinning as she heard Dawn's shriek.

"I am not wearing that!"

Kagome smirked as she got dressed, then searched around until she found a brush. She began brushing her hair as she walked out and blinked innocently when she saw the brunette's furious expression at the formal kimono she had been given.

"How the hell could I fight in this?" Dawn grumbled. Kagome immediately stopped being amused.

"You have a point there. I mean, didn't they see you with that sword? You may not have been the best, but you did pretty well with it."

"It was my first time too." Dawn fidgeted slightly at Kagome's stunned expression and then it turned thoughtful. Kagome grinned to herself. "We'll just have to get you new clothes then. Change into those until then."

Kagome walked to the door and opened it, sticking her head out and glaring at the four boys strewn lazily around the hallway. "Make yourselves useful and go find out where we can get different outfits. Whoever assigned these must think we still live in the Feudal Era."

Kagome didn't wait for their response, especially considering the mix of grins and angry glares she'd been getting. She slammed the doors and waited. Keiko, seeing that she simply had a normal outfit, went to take her shower while Souta took one look around the room, ignored his day old clothes and turned over in bed, attempting to fall back asleep.

Ten minutes after Kagome's order, a quiet knock came on the door. As all three girls had gotten dressed and then started doing each other's hair in the bathroom, Souta got up to open it. The cheerful blue-haired girl stood there, four males in varying stages of annoyance behind her. Souta yawned, left the door open, and knocked on the bathroom door. "Kagome, the weird blue-haired girl who transported us is here."

All three girls came out of the door. Botan stepped in cheerily and tsked at the kimono Dawn was wearing and the miko robes. Then she dropped the clothes in her arms on the floor and smiled at the boys, all holding similar piles. "Drop them here guys."

Keiko turned to Kagome in awe. "How'd you do that?"

"Order them to do something and then shut them out and ignore them until they do it. It works within a minute with Inuyasha." A faint pensive look appeared on Kagome's face. "Or it did."

"Before they kissed," Came Souta's mutter. Kagome went various shades of red before Souta realized his mistake and tried to make a break for the door.

"I'm going to kill you! You read my diaries! Again!" Kagome caught up to him before he even made it a few steps, and despite Souta being almost as tall as she was and quickly catching up, she tackled him to the floor. She stopped and grinned evilly. Souta caught it and looked horrified.

"Oh, C'mon Kagome, I didn't do much I just wanted to see what you'd been doing lately!" Kagome considered his words, rolled off of her brother and grinned at him.

"That's ok. It was more of a him kissing me thing anyway. I wasn't about to get in a physical relationship with the guy who was going to let himself be dragged to hell by my former incarnate. You still owe me though. Next time something happens that requires cover, you're doing it." Kagome smirked at him despite the pain caused by her own words. The siblings looked up to see everyone staring at them.

Yusuke took a quick glance around and noticed no one seemed to want to ask the question. He rolled his eyes and pointed at the clothes. "Look, plenty of choices. Now, what the hell were you talking about?"

Kagome looked up, having almost forgot the males despite the strong youki emanating from three of them. Then she looked at the clothes and exchanged a glance with Dawn. Completely forgetting the previous question, Kagome, followed by Dawn pounced on the unsuspecting pile of clothes and began feverishly sorting through them, throwing things away in disgust sometimes while alternately cooing as she saw something she like. Dawn squealed as she caught sight of clothes she wanted, and both girls sorted out outfits to the side.

Both girls frowned as one and then looked up at Botan and Keiko. The two girls of the Spirit Detective group looked horrified but before Kagome and Dawn could get outfits for them too, Yusuke rolled his eyes and wrapped his hand around Kagome's wrist. It took Kagome a moment to come out of her clothes frenzy and realize why she wasn't pulling one of the other girls into it. Then she growled.

The three boys actually leaned back and Kuwabara leaned over to Kurama behind Yusuke's back. "Are we sure she's human?"

Yusuke ignored the mindless chatter behind him and waited until he was sure that one hundred percent of the angry girl's attention was on him. "What the hell were you and your brother talking about? Something from your dimension? Former incarnate?"

Despite the angry seeming voice, Yusuke's eyes were practically glowing with curiosity. Kagome paused, studying the other three boys before coming back to the one in front of her. She carefully kept her expression blank as she looked him up and down. Then she slipped her hand from his grasp, gathered Souta's normal seeming outfit, stuffed it into her little brother's arms and smiled at the four boys. "You want to know? All right, I'll answer any questions you want, no secrets held, in exchange for a couple of things. One, Information on what's going on and where we are when we decide we're ready, and you boys taking Souta somewhere else to get showered and dressed. We're going to be awhile. Bye boys."

Yusuke didn't manage to voice his protest as once again they were shoved out the door, this time with the younger boy with them. Souta sighed. "You can say goodbye to ever seeing the inside of that room again. Kagome alone will take hours to pick out different outfits. Now they'll be modeling for each other! And doing each other's hair too I imagine! Girls!"

"Too right. Glad I don't have a sister." Yusuke said.

"Me too," Kurama agreed. Both pretended not to notice the glares from the other two.

"Why isn't shrimp agreeing?" Kuwabara asked with a frown, forgetting about the sister he'd long ago heard about. He'd never found out who she was anyway. Kuwabara suddenly found one sleeve of his shirt on fire.

"Because I don't wish to." He stated coldly. Souta's eyes widened at the fire. "That's cool. I like the Tetsusaiga better though."

Yusuke slanted his gaze towards Souta. "What's Tetsusaiga?"

Back in the room, Kagome and Dawn had managed to pull Keiko and Botan into the relaxing job of choosing outfits. Relaxing until they started fighting.

"I wanted that skirt!" Keiko looked on in consternation as Botan lunged for the skirt Kagome held. Dawn had begun snatching clothes from the other's piles to make her own outfits when she wasn't being watched.

After a few more minutes of fighting Keiko spoke up. "If you're all going to fight so much, why don't you just wear the same thing?"

Surprisingly the other three girls stopped and Dawn was the first to search through the pile, finding four pairs of black jeans immediately. She looked hopefully at the others. "Would you guys wear jeans? Or at least pants? Those skirts aren't exactly fighting clothes."

Kagome looked at the skirt in her hand and sighed. The girl was right. She looked curiously at the jeans. "I will. Any matching tops?"

Botan agreed too, and Keiko found herself dragged into it. They found a matching black denim jacket, but were still deciding what to wear for a regular shirt underneath it.

"We can have different things for that. Do you think they'll make copies of this outfit if we want it?" Dawn had picked up a nice baby tee and was looking at it thoughtfully. "But we should all wear a similar style."

"Right." Kagome said absently then decided on a red baby tee. Keiko gave in to the stares the other two girls were giving her and started searching for a nice color. "I don't see why I and Botan should wear this, we don't actually fight."

"You just let the boys fight for you all the time?" Dawn seemed slightly horrified, having spent the couple of year she had actually been alive around a slayer sister and the most powerful witch in the Western Hemisphere. Maybe in the whole world.

Keiko shifted, remembering her own wish earlier and narrowing her eyes. "I haven't had a choice before. Maybe I should try and make it my choice?"

Dawn was staring thoughtfully at the blue shirt in her hand, then the one in Kagome's hand. "We've got the two best colors, red and blue. What do they get?"

"Who said those colors are the best?" Botan protested while angrily shaking the pink shirt she had picked up at them. Kagome rolled her eyes and focused on Keiko. "You should try. Inuyasha fought for me, but I always helped out. It worked out since my miko powers were all that seemed to faze Naraku."

Keiko sighed and looked thoughtfully down at her choices, finally deciding on just a regular white long-sleeved shirt. Dawn's head snapped up disapprovingly and the long-sleeved shirt was quickly replaced with a white baby tee. "Same style remember? We'll look cool."

Keiko sighed and Kagome looked up. "Ok, can I get some explanations now? What happened after I fell unconscious?"

"I thought you were going to ask the boys that? In exchange for telling them about your life?" Keiko questioned curiously.

"You notice the cutie didn't actually agree, I just said it and pushed Souta out to them. I'll tell you guys though."

"Cutie?" Botan and Keiko questioned at the same time. They exchanged small smirks and Kagome's eyes widened as Dawn began to giggle. "No way! I know that look! It was a slip! I really didn't mean it! And hey, isn't he the one who shouted through the door? Sounded like the same voice, so I'm mad at him. Angry. I don't think he's cute at all. So there."

"If it was a slip, how could you not mean it? People don't exactly slip out lies." Kagome squeaked as Botan questioned her again then straightened her back and crossed her arms across her chest.

"I think if I said I don't think he's cute, then I'm telling the truth. I'm going to change out of these miko robes and into our new outfit." Kagome walked into the bathroom, but found herself stopped. "Ok, ok, we're sorry. Don't be like that. Let me introduce myself. I'm Botan, a guide to the spirits of the dead. You're in the Spirit World. By the energy signatures and the portal colors the boys described, you're also probably in another dimension. Dawn came from a different one than you two. It was because of two beings called the Travelers."

Kagome stopped and then sat down on one of the beds. "The Travelers? Different dimensions? Ok, maybe I can get the different dimensions; this place does feel different. But what are the Travelers?"

Botan hesitated and noticed both Keiko and Dawn had inched towards the two to listen. "No ones quite certain. They seem to just randomly grant wishes for fun, but a few have studied it objectively, and while some are quite random, they will often tie a group of people together, through dimensions and across space, to save the world. Or to save a whole dimension, or all of the dimensions. How they came across their powers no one knows. We named them the Travelers because they would appear randomly in different dimensions, traveling wherever they wanted, or where they felt they were needed."

"Tie a group together?"

"For fun?"

"Needed?" Dawn, Kagome and Keiko asked at the same time. Botan sighed. "I'm sorry, but that's all I really know right now. Koenma has people researching you three now, as well as observing Keiko and the boys, considering the boys made wishes too, and by the energy cascading around Keiko, we're guessing she did too."

Dawn exhaled at the expression flying across the older girl's faces and then got up, trying to move towards the bathroom. She made it two steps before she finally got frustrated with the formal kimono. "You know what? This thing suck. How does anyone wear this? How do you walk in this? And where can I get some proper shoes?"

Even as she spoke she was taking the kimono off. She breathed a sigh of relief as she got into her jeans, shirt and jacket. Who cared if she'd been half-naked in front of the other girls anyway? There were no boys in the room, and Kagome would probably have started tensing up if anyone was coming near the room. "So, how do I look?"

Kagome studied her as the other girls gave quick exclamations of approval. "It looks good. Can you move in it?"

Dawn frowned, but realized what she meant and stretched a bit. Despite the denim, it was flexible enough. "Yeah, I'll be able to do well in it. Now, shoes? I'm not wearing any funny slippers."

"Oh, there are regular shoes buried somewhere in the clothes," Botan said breezily, going to the bathroom herself with her clothes. "You three don't mind if I use the shower do you? I may be a spirit guide, but I'm also a clean one."

The three girls waved her off and Keiko eyed her own outfit warily while Kagome switched out of her miko robes and into her new outfit and then grabbed the brushes that had been left out after they'd come out of the bathroom. She sat down and began to brush her hair again while Dawn buried herself in the clothes and found the shoes. Somehow, despite the clothes being thrown around, none of them wrinkled, and it was the same with the shoes. Dawn shrugged and slipped on some socks and a pair of sneakers. "Eventually I'll find some nice boots, but sneakers will do for now."

As the girls continued talking and dressing in their room, the boys were attempting to grill Souta after his shower and dressing in simple jeans and a T-shirt. "So what's your home like?"

"Oh, it's home like, that's about it," Souta said, enjoying the annoyance growing on their faces.

"All right, off the general information questions. What about your sister? She's a miko right?" Yusuke asked, trying to get anything out of the younger boy.

"A miko? She's the best miko! She's the Guardian of the Shikon no Tama!" Souta's eyes widened as he revealed that little tidbit but didn't see any looks of realization, only more curious looks.

"What's the Shikon no Tama?" Kuwabara finally asked. Souta's eyes grew wide and then a smile lit up his face turning into a grin. They didn't know. Of course they didn't know. How could they, this was a different dimension. When he began to laugh, they gave him strange looks, but he didn't care. His sister was free.

"The Shikon no Tama? That? Never mind, it's just a silly old jewel. Nothing for you to worry about."

-

In another dimension, a half-dog demon presently going by the name of Inuyasha was practically tearing Kagome's home shrine apart. "What do you mean she and her little brother disappeared? They're human, they can't have just disappeared, they must have left something! You must have heard something!"

Mrs. Higurashi sighed and watched the hanyou's frantic actions with sorrowful eyes. There was nothing there; as she'd known there would be nothing there. Finally, she sighed and offered an explanation she knew not to be true. "Perhaps she went back to the feudal era and you some how missed her scent?"

Inuyasha's glare intensified, but, just incase, he sped off into the well house, looking for his lost miko. Mrs. Higurashi leaned against the house and let her tears begin to fall. Her daughter was gone, she didn't know where, but she did know who did. She waited patiently for them to come.

"I'm sorry I was so rude to you back then," a familiar voice said from behind her. She turned to see both of the inu brothers standing awkwardly at the shrine steps. Well, the black-haired one looked awkward. Sesshoumaru was simply watching curiously as his brother apologized.

"Inuyasha. I didn't think you were really still alive in this time, despite your message," Mrs. Higurashi said.

"Yeah, well, I am. I even have this nice little illusion that makes me look human, unlike Sesshoumaru. He finds the illusion spells odd, but as long as he covers up his tail and markings, no one seems to notice. People these days, they're so strange," the older looking Inuyasha said, not meeting her eyes.

"Where is she?" Mrs. Higurashi asked quietly. The brothers looked pained and shook their heads. Her eyes narrowed in a way reminiscent of Kagome before she would blow up.

"She's in another dimension, and she's safe! That's all we know. We weren't told anything else," Inuyasha said softly.

Mrs. Higurashi trembled and her eyes blazed. The brothers were suddenly very glad that she didn't have the purifying powers of her children. "And my son?"

"He's with her. He has powers like her I guess."

Mrs. Higurashi glared at them and hissed, "Get out of my sight."

"Wh-what?" Inuyasha looked confused. He didn't think she'd take it like this. "Why?"

Sesshoumaru looked on in understanding and took his brother's shoulder, trying to nudge him backwards. Unfortunately, his brother was stubborn, and wouldn't move. Mrs. Higurashi wished she did have the powers of her children. "You tell me my children are safe, but how do you know? You were supposed to protect her! You aren't even trying! Now my son has been mixed in with demons and this dangerous world too! You've taken away my children! Until you can either bring them to me or me to them, I don't want to ever see you again. I'll kill you myself if I do."

The stunned Inuyasha was pulled away from the shrine, and both of the brothers paused to look back up as the sounds of sobbing reached their ears. Inuyasha moved to go back. Sesshoumaru gripped his shoulder tightly and shook his head. "No, those are a mother's tears. None of us can impede upon them. Let's go tell the others what's going on. Perhaps the Travelers will stop in and give you some more news."

"Travelers. What a silly name for those two children."

"They aren't children anymore Inuyasha. I should know. I raised one of them."

The two demon brothers walked off, leaving a mother to cry alone in an empty house, only her own father able to attempt to give her comfort over her lost children.

Ok, another chapter. Review please everyone! Responses to those who have!

Winged Knight: Not as many answers as you might like, and responses to the different heritages of the demon boys might have to wait a couple of chapters. Depends how much I can fit into the next chapter. I assure you they'll all be Impressed.

VB: Thanks! I'm glad you liked it! Please review again!

FoxylilRaven: Did I make it that obvious? Darn me. Well, everyone knows one's Rin by the last part anyway. Just shush about the other one. grins Though I'm sure a lot of people know that one too.

C4n4di4nG1r1535: Always. All my stories are Yus/Kag, and I doubt I'll ever do anything different unless it's a gift for someone.

MirokuLuvr: Nope, no Spike. Yet anyway. Most Buffy characters won't be in this for awhile, and tghen only for a few chapters, but a couple will stay behind for the rest of the story. Probably including him. Don't quote me on that, though.
