Quest: The Beginning

Chapter 3

Kyo snickered. "Let me put it simply. Kyoshiro defeated me 4 years ago after the battle of Sekigahara. He betrayed me, hid my body from me, and entombed my spirit into his body, hoping I would never come out. But I was awakened, and he was put to sleep. Now I control his body. If I fight more then ten minutes, Kyoshiro takes over the body." He sighed. "I need a new kimono…"

Inuyasha let his words sink in as he stared forward at the little village. He smiled. He was going to learn a lot from Kyo.

"Kyo!" Yuya screamed. "Why do I have to carry everything? Argh!" She grunted loudly, and then sighed. 'He's not gonna listen…He always does this…' Suddenly, the weight on her shoulders disappeared. 'Whaa?' she looked back and saw Kyo. She blushed and dropped her gaze to the ground. He had taken the two bottles of sake and slung them on his shoulder with a piece of string. 'I will never understand that guy…I guess I can forgive him for not bringing food today… '

Kyo walked away, with his pipe in his mouth, and his katana in his left hand. Yukimura walked with Miroku, as they'd become great friends. 'Surprise, Surprise! Pervert meets pervert!' Yuya thought. She realized that Kyo's pace had quickened, so she ran ahead to catch up. She soon fell into step beside him.

She looked up at him. His eyes, although still red, seemed softer then usual, unlike when he was fighting. When he fought his eyes sparkled, ignited with passion for the fight. They also seemed cold. Right now they were warmer, more inviting. His gaze shifted to her.

"What are you looking at?" he asked gruffly. She blushed and averted her eyes. She whispered something. "What was that?" he asked, a little softer this time. 'I can't seem to be mad at her for too long. Heh…' She looked back up at him, her eyes sparkling with happiness.

"I said thanks Kyo," she admitted. She blushed a little more. She tried to look away, but his eyes turned to hers. Her face was red, kind of like Inuyasha's haori and hakama.

"Why?" He asked, "And why are you blushing?" He was kind of getting confused. 'Why the hell is she blushing…?'

"I- Uh…" She didn't know what to say, "Thanks for taking the sake I mean." She was hoping he would forget she was blushing. She tried to subdue the blush, but it just got worse.

"Heh…" Kyo chuckled, "Nice avoiding the question." He shifted his gaze forward again.

'Whew, that was close…' she thought. She continued on her walk with Kyo, and looked around. It was dusk, and the sun would set soon.

"We should set up camp somewhere," Miroku suggested. Sango agreed, so of course Yukimura did as well. Inuyasha went ahead a found a nice clearing in a nearby forest. He brought the large group to the clearing, and went off to gather firewood.

Kagome set her monstrous bag down, and sighed. Inuyasha usually helped her carry it, but he didn't today. 'He barely said anything today, and I didn't even sit him!' she thought. Her conscience piped up.

'Don't get ahead of yourself Kagome; the night is still young…'

She sighed inwardly. She figured when he came back, she'd talk to him a little. A loud crack was heard in the distance.

"I guess Miroku found Sango," laughed Yuya. Yukimura laughed at this. Kyo sat down on a fallen tree and smoked his pipe. He cut the line between the bottles of sake, and tossed one to Yukimura. He smiled and popped off the cork.

"Don't drink it all," Kyo said looking at Yukimura, "That's all we've got 'till we find some more. And Miroku said the next village is a couple of days of walk away." Yukimura sighed in despair.

The sun was set when Inuyasha came back with big armfuls of dead, dried wood. He dropped the wood, and made a fire pit. Kirara mewed, and changed into the demon form. With the fire on her tail, she started the fire. Yuya looked baffled. Kyo shifted his gaze to the cat, and looked disinterested. Inuyasha added some wood to the fire, and stared at it a bit. He got up and walked into the forest.

Kagome saw him, and ran to catch up to him. "Inuyasha… What's wrong?" she asked, "You've barely said anything all day." Inuyasha looked at her. He looked in her eyes. She did so too. She could stare into his eyes forever. The twisting colors of gold, yellow and orange intrigued her.

"Kagome…" He whispered. He pulled his eyes off her and stared blindly into the forest. "I… I donno… I just have a lot on my mind lately…" He looked back at her and she smiled warmly to him.

"Like what?" she asked, still looking into his eyes. "You can tell me you know." She smiled again.

"Feh." He said as he turned away. He crossed his arms over his chest.

"You're such a baka!" She fumed, "Here I am, trying to help and you shut me out!" After that, she continued with a few 'sits' and stomped back to camp. Inuyasha sighed into the dirt. He heaved himself out the crater he'd created, and hopped into a tree. He rested his back against the trunk and pulled his sword off his hip. He rested it against his chest and stared over to the camp. Kagome had already lain down in her sleeping roll. He sighed.

'I kind of deserved that…' He thought to himself, 'but Kagome… she deserves better then me… the filthy half-breed.' He winced inwardly. Kagome shifted to look at the sky. He just looked at her and kept looking at her until he drifted to sleep.

Kyo got up a while later. He stretched and walked around. He decided he would go for a walk in the forest. With his katana in hand, he walked slowly in the dense forest. Crickets where heard, and little animals where curled up in the trees. He looked up and saw Inuyasha also in a tree sleeping.

He kept walking until he got to a clearing. At the end of the clearing someone sat, on the edge of the cliff, staring out at the ocean. Kyo walked silently and reached the girl.

"The stars are nice here," she started, "back home, they seemed a little different." Kyo looked down at Yuya, who was gazing at the stars. He dropped down beside her and joined in the stargazing.

"Are we ever gonna get back Kyo?" She asked, "I mean… This place is nice, but it's not home." She sighed as Kyo shrugged. They sat there, in comfortable silence for a few minutes.

Kyo cleared his throat. "All we can do is go along with it, really." He said, still looking at the stars. "Hopefully this jewel can bring us back." He sighed. Yuya looked up at his face. A little smile danced across her features. Kyo finally got up.

"We should get back." He said as he turned around toward the camp. She smiled and ran up beside him. She matched his pace, and a silence accompanied them back to the camp. Yuya yawned, and laid down on the bedroll Kagome had laid out for her. Kyo sat in his spot on the trunk, and laid back. Yuya glanced around the campsite. Miroku sat cross-legged beside Sango, head bent down, his eyes closed. Yukimura was sleeping close to herself, and Kagome was on the opposite side of the fire. Tora and Inuyasha were nowhere to be seen, but she figured they liked to sleep in trees.

She let out a small sigh of relief and laid her head down. Soon the comfortable wings of sleep drifted over her.

Kyo was still awake, when the first lights of dawn crept over the horizon.

Beta Notes

Hmm, finally, fluff…not that it was GOOD fluff or anything, but this baka wouldn't take my advice… Read on fair err…readers, and enjoy the story!

Zach: Feh, Thanks though. And you don't have to call me baka  Hurts my Feelings!

Reviews

I got a review from marnika, he or she said (sorry if I don't know, I'm not good with names :S) I don't think any one has done this type of cross over before at least on this site .Liked the fight between Sess and Kyo. I think I read this as an AU, but I really think SDK time line is like just 15 to 20 years after Inuyasha.

Now this is true, Sengoku Jidai (the era in which Inuyasha takes place) was right before the Edo era, but I can't help but believe they're in different universes. So I used "the door" to bring our friends from SDK to the Inuyasha world. Make sense?
