PHANTOM FAIRY TALE

A Danny Phantom/Inuyasha Crossover

Written by: Kage Jaganshi and SamuraiSirius

After Danny finished dinner… both helpings of dinner… he walked outside, deciding to get some fresh Tokyo air. His suspicions about Kagome were bothering him, but all he wanted was to ignore them. He wanted to relax, start over, and get to know his new family. If Kagome had some big secret that she didn't want to share, then he'd wait until she trusted him enough.

"I think I'd definitely know better than anyone about keeping secrets from your family…" Danny muttered to himself, gazing at his palm as he stood in front of the large tree in the Higurashi shrine grounds. Usually when he wanted to relax, he'd go ghost and fly around, just because it was relaxing, but that wasn't an option anymore. If he wanted to swear off his ghost powers completely, he couldn't pick out which ones he could or couldn't use. It was all or none.

However, just standing in front of the large tree seemed to be putting Danny's mind at ease. It was like the tree itself was meant to sooth people, to give them a sense of peace and protection. 'Wow, even a tree can do a better job at protecting people than I can… I don't know whether that's exciting or depressing.'

"I see you're drawn to the Goshinboku," A light voice said from behind him. Danny spun around to find Kagome walking slowly over to him. She had showered and changed since entering the house and her hair was now pulled back in a ponytail. She was also out of her school uniform and dressed in jeans and a baggy blue tee-shirt. She smiled as she stared up into the branches of the large tree. "It's over 500 years old and has served as a guardian spirit of the shrine since it was built around the tree hundreds of years ago."

Danny felt his eyes drawn up to the tree's branches. A light breeze blew though the branches and the leaves rustled together. Danny closed his eyes; he decided he definitely liked this tree.

Kagome looked to Danny, ignoring the giant tree for now. "I'm sorry about the way I acted back there. I was kind of stressed and wrapped up in my own world."

"It's alright," Danny replied. He was glad Kagome had come to talk with him… if there was one way to gain someone's trust it was through polite conversation. "So are you feeling better now?"

The shorter girl nodded. "Much better, nothing like a nice hot bath to get rid of the problems and stress of the day."

Danny nodded, his recent experiences compelling him to agree. It seemed that the only place that he could find any peace of mind within the last week was only in the shower… then again, there weren't many other places to find peace of mind in the Guys in White Headquarters.

He then started to think about the bright pink wisp that escaped from his lips after he showered. It felt different from a ghost's, but the possibility alone of finding ghosts way out here were not very appealing to him. "Kagome… have people in Tokyo ever seen… ghosts?"

Kagome blinked; she hadn't expected to hear something like that at all. "Ghosts? Well, I don't know myself, but my grandfather believes in spirits, so if anyone can answer your question it's him. Why do you ask?"

Danny turned abruptly, almost surprised that she didn't know what happened. He was sure that no matter where she may have been, the news broadcast from Amity Park was transmitted to the entire globe. He saw the helicopters himself, and he was almost positive that it was mentioned that the destruction was caused by a ghost. Heck, he was half expecting to be blamed for the destruction.

He exhaled and placed his hand in his pockets, his expression changing to a somber one. "I'm pretty sure you heard about Amity Park, right?"

Kagome nodded. "I was kind of in a rush leaving home that day but I did hear about it... I thought it was a natural disaster." She gave him a sympathizing look but didn't know exactly what to say. It's not like she knew how he felt. 'Too bad Sango isn't here… she could probably relate.'

Danny shook his head, lowering it slightly so he didn't meet Kagome's eyes. "It wasn't a natural disaster… it was a ghost attack." Danny said softly. "Amity Park was destroyed by a ghost attack…" 'And I couldn't do anything about it…'

Kagome's eyes widened. Although she'd seen demons and spirits in the Feudal era, she'd barely seen any attacks of the sort in her time, only once or twice. She would've never thought that something supernatural in her time could be strong enough to completely destroy an entire town.

"Amity Park was known as the most haunted town in America," Danny continued. "So most people were expecting something like a ghost attack… but not even my parents could help against the ghosts, even if they were professional ghost hunters."

Danny breathed in and exhaled a breath; closing his eyes momentarily and opening them back up as he lifted his head to meet Kagome's eyes once again. He tried to smile to try and lift the mood. "Sorry about that, I kind of let my mind wander there."

'He's more like Sango than I thought…' Kagome thought, feeling sympathetic toward the boy. She shook her head. "It must be hard to talk about it." She paused, she didn't want Danny to be depressed like this his first day in Tokyo. She stared up at the sky when suddenly an idea struck her. "I know it's kind of late but would you like to go out and see the sights? I imagine you haven't left the Shrine since you got here."

"Will it be okay with your mom?" He asked, put off by the sudden change in topic.

Kagome shook her head. "Our mom; and she won't mind… I just better go tell her where we're going." With that said Kagome bounded back towards the house, her face set with determination. 'I'll treat him to a night on the town and maybe then he won't feel so bad.' She thought.

Danny walked beside Kagome down the busy and bustling streets of Tokyo, although he was surprised that Tokyo was just as active in the night as it was in the day. He chalked it up to the effects of suburban living. As they walked, Kagome explained that despite the bustle, the Higurashi's lived in a much quieter district of Tokyo than say, Shibuya or Shinjuku. Danny listened intently as Kagome talked about her life at school and the interesting things to do in town. They were passing by an ice cream store when Kagome stopped and smiled. "Let's go for ice cream."

Before Danny could say anything Kagome dragged him into the store and bought them two cones; a chocolate for Danny and a vanilla with sprinkles for Kagome. They sat at a booth looking out a window and began to eat their ice cream. "You know Danny, you're Japanese is really good… where did you learn it?"

"I'm not really that great in most subjects at school, mainly Math, but foreign languages were my best subject so I decided I'd take a Japanese class since it wasn't that common." He explained.

Kagome blinked. "So do you speak any languages aside from Japanese and English?"

Danny shook his head. "I wanted to be really fluent in one language before learning another… besides, I never really had the time." He said sadly.

She opened her mouth to say something but a voice cut her off. "KAGOME?" She looked up and then groaned, approaching them were three girls with ice cream.

"Who are they?" Danny asked.

Kagome smiled meekly. "My friends… Yuka, Eri, and Ayumi."

The group of girls was led by Yuka, a girl with brown eyes and short, shoulder length black hair held back by a yellow headband. She wore denim Capri pants and a yellow tank top with blue flip-flops on her feet.

To her left, a girl with wavy dark brown hair licked happily at the strawberry ice cream. She had soft brown eyes and wore a pink sundress with white tennis shoes and no socks. She was the idealistic romantic of the group named Ayumi.

On the right stood Eri who had the shortest hair of the girls cut in a bob around her ears. Her hair was light brown and her eyes were of the same shade. She wore black jeans and a green baby tee and had been the one to shout Kagome's name.

Immediately the three girls surrounded Kagome, Yuka and Eri casting glances at Danny, checking him out. Kagome groaned inwardly, she knew this wasn't going to end well. "Hey guys."

"It's good too see you're no longer suffering from that case of Cystercosis, Kagome." Ayumi said happily.

Danny's expression changed from mild interest to dumbfounded confusion. 'Kagome was sick?' "Sister-what?" He blurted out before he could stop himself.

Yuka leaned in next to Kagome's ear. "So are you over Hojo now?" She asked on a completely different topic and not letting Kagome answer Danny's exclamation, who felt pretty out of place at this point.

"Wha-" Kagome began but was cut off by Ayumi who gasped.

"Oh, and what about that InuYasha guy? Don't tell me you're cheating on him Kagome!"

Danny was at a lost for words. These girls were fast talkers and were obviously obsessed with two things: boys, and Kagome's relationships to them. They were almost like Tucker, minus the technology obsession.

"I'm not cheating on InuYasha!" Kagome shrieked. Her friends gasped and gave her curious looks as she continued. "This is Danny. He's my adopted older brother."

Ayumi, Yuka, and Eri all gasped and then moved from Kagome to Danny. All at once they began to bombard him with questions about where he was from, how old he was, if he was single, etc.

Danny was shocked by the sudden attention and didn't know who to answer first. He felt trapped, especially since he wasn't used to this kind of attention… at least not all at once. Kagome saw the anxious expression on Danny's face and jumped to his rescue. She started to shove the girls away from Danny, pushing them to the other side of the ice cream parlor. Danny sighed in relief once the chattering stopped.

"What are you doing?" Kagome shouted at the girls as soon as they were out of earshot of Danny, who still felt completely out of place, even more so after the bombardment.

Eri blinked. "We were just making him feel welcomed, Kagome."

Yuka nodded. "Yeah, he's your new brother… we were just curious."

"And he's really cute." Ayumi giggled.

Kagome groaned. "You guys don't need to pester him though! He just got in from a long flight and I was trying to cheer him up, before you guys came."

The girls stared at Kagome then leaned in close. "Are you SURE you're not… interested in him?" Eri asked.

"HE'S MY BROTHER!"

Ayumi sighed happily, backing away from Kagome. "Wow… he's just so dreamy. I mean he has that whole… mysterious thing going about him… like his life has just been one big tragedy."

Yuka rolled her eyes at Ayumi's daydreams. They were all used to her being like this, but it didn't mean they had to like it, they just had to tolerate it. "He IS an orphan Ayumi… of COURSE his life has been tragic."

"That's horrible Yuka!" Eri gasped.

Kagome glanced between the three girls before slowly backing away. She knew once they got wrapped up in a conversation about boys like this they couldn't be stopped. 'Sometimes I worry about them…' She walked back over to Danny and took a seat across from him. "Sorry about that."

"It's okay, I've dealt with worse. I had a friend who obsessed over two things: girls and technology. The fact that he acted on his impulses didn't help either." Danny said; chuckling a bit at the memory of Tucker's many screw ups.

Kagome joined in with Danny's chuckling as the two of them continued to lick away at their ice cream cones, discussing a variety of things. Danny's worries eased away the more he chatted with Kagome, letting him enjoy the nightlife in peace with his new little sister.

Inside a hut in the middle of a quiet village, a man with long silver hair wearing extremely baggy red clothing was grumbling impatiently. His legs and arms were crossed as she shifted in his spot on the floor, his grumbling disrupting the other occupants inside the small hut.

The other occupants of the hut were a strange gathering of people. Sitting closest to the silver haired man was a man in black and purple robes. His black hair was tied in a small ponytail at he base of his neck and he sat in a lotus position, eyes closed as if in prayer… or sleep. Sitting across from the two men was a small child with reddish brown hair tied up in a ponytail with a blue bow. The child was sitting in the lap of a woman wearing a simple pink kimono and had dark brown hair that fell to her back. Her hair was tied back but only very loosely. She sighed as the silver haired man's grumbling continued. "You know InuYasha, your grumbling isn't going to bring Kagome back any sooner."

InuYasha opened one of his eyes to glare at the woman with an irritated gaze, revealing golden irises. "Feh, I don't need you to lecture me Sango."

Sango glared back at InuYasha, causing the silver haired man to flinch slightly under her scrutinizing eyes. "Well apparently someone has to, since without us you'd be running around acting like an impatient child. Not that you're doing any better at the moment."

The man in black and purple robes sighed. "Why is it that whenever Kagome leaves back for her time, you two argue the entire time?"

InuYasha glared at the man. "Shut up Miroku… no one asked you."

"It's not like we can do anything anyway." The small child curled in Sango's lap protested.

InuYasha stood up. "Shut up Shippo! Of course there's something I can do!" He stomped over to the entrance to the hut and ran off as Miroku and Sango both stood up, following him before he did something stupid.

"Where are you going InuYasha!" Sango shouted after him as he stormed towards the woods. He didn't stop running, and after he had stormed closer to the woods he leapt high in the air and disappeared into the forest.

Miroku dropped his head and sighed. "Obviously he's going back for Kagome."

Shippo hopped up onto Miroku's shoulder. "That idiot! Kagome's not going to be happy about this."

It was nearly midnight by the time Danny and Kagome returned home, and Danny was still trying to get over how lively the Tokyo nightlife was. It was much different than the suburban Amity Park, where the only source of excitement was most likely the parties hosted by classmates, and that was only if you were invited to them too.

As the two of them walked up the stairs, Danny began to recollect the awkward way Kagome's three friends greeted her. "Hey, Kagome?" Danny asked. "Were you really sick before I got here? I mean, you don't look sick at all…"

Kagome blanched slightly, and decided to go with a half truth. "Well, sometimes I have to go and do some… important errands which take a while, and grandfather is usually the one that informs the school about my absence, but he just calls me in sick… and makes up the weirdest diseases."

Danny nodded, remembering his first meeting with his grandfather, if you could call it that. "Makes sense, it seems like something he would do."

"What do you mean?"

"Well…" Danny began explaining as they reached the top of the stairs. "When I first got here, he tried to exorcise me… at least, that's what I THOUGHT it was."

Kagome couldn't help but chuckle as she imagined the encounter between the two. "Yeah, that's more common than you think."

They both shared a laugh until they entered the house, where they quieted down. All the lights were off and they assumed that everyone else was fast asleep. They both took off their shoes and set them on the tiled entrance as they made their way toward their rooms.

"Hey," Danny whispered as they went up the stairs. "Thanks for the night out… it was pretty cool."

Kagome genuinely smiled at him, and surprised him by giving him a hug. "Don't mention it… oniisan."

Danny smiled and after a few seconds' hesitation hugged back. After a few minutes they broke the hug, heading into their separate rooms. Danny changed out of his clothes and put on some light blue pajama bottoms, crawling under the bed bare-chested. As soon as his head touched the pillow, he was out like a light. He wasn't conscious enough to notice the blood red wisp of smoke that trailed out of his mouth a few minutes later as he slept.

Kagome was dead tired and couldn't wait to curl up in her bed and sleep. She opened her door and stepped in her room when she stopped, something was off. She glanced around her room then flicked the light on to get a better look. Everything was as she had left it, including her yellow pajamas at the foot of the bed. That's when she noticed that her pink curtains were billowing in the wind. 'I didn't leave my window open, did I?' She thought.

Suddenly a figure appeared in the window and landed on her bed. It was a silvery haired boy dressed in all red. He squatted on her bed like a dog but instead of a cute puppy face he glared at her. "Where have you been!"

The girl clenched her fists. "InuYasha! What are you doing here?"

InuYasha slipped off the bed and walked over to Kagome. "Feh, I came for you of course, and what's that strange smell all over you?"

"What! Oh… you must smell my brother."

"Sota doesn't smell like that."

Kagome blinked, remembering that InuYasha didn't know about the recent addition to her family. "No… my NEW brother, Danny."

"New brother? Why does he smell funny… it's not a human scent." InuYasha stated, his eyes narrowing.

"It might be because his entire home was destroyed by a ghost… of course, that was over a week ago." She muttered. She wasn't sure how acute InuYasha's senses were so it was possible that he could still smell the residue from the attack, or whatever's left of it.

InuYasha's ears perked up at this bit of news. "An attack… in the present day? Are you hurt Kagome?" InuYasha asked, grabbing her roughly by the shoulders in concern.

Kagome smiled. "I'm fine InuYasha… it WAS in another country after all." She said.

"Oh, well then you can come back with me tonight, right?" He said, grabbing Kagome's wrist and dragging her towards the window. Kagome stumbled forward a bit before catching herself and breaking InuYasha's loose grip on her wrist.

"No, InuYasha! I want to get some rest, alright?" She shouted at the impatient man.

"Feh. You can get rest back at Kaede's hut stupid woman!"

Kagome felt a vein throb in anger. She gritted her teeth and shoved InuYasha towards the window. "K-Kagome… what are you doing?" He asked as she got him near the ledge.

Without a second thought, Kagome shoved him out and whispered. "Osuwari."

"AGGH!" InuYasha screamed as he plummeted to the ground.

Kagome pulled herself back inside and slammed her window shut. She hoped Danny was a heavy sleeper… that would be a hard thing to explain this late at night. She glanced at her clock and realized what time it was, she groaned and without changing into her pajamas fell onto her bed and drifted into sleep.

To Be Continued…

A/N: Here's chapter 3, some Danny/Kagome sibling bonding time, probably my first written attempt at some fluff near the end there, but I think it turned out pretty good. It's kinda disturbing that Kagome's grandfather always thinks of such deadly and rare diseases. The fact that the school believed his excuses didn't help their case either…
