Hello Simply Hopeless here with a new story for you. I love crossovers and I hope you like this story because it's a Rurouni Kenshin/ Inuyasha crossover over. That said I do not own either animes because if I did I wouldn't be writing a fanfic. OOCness is to be accepted and embraced, better to warn you now then for you to complain about it later. So no suing and I hope you enjoy and review lots.
Down Came Baby
Chapter One
'My name is Kagome Higurashi and I have just newly come to Kyoto.'
"No, no, no that's wrong," grumbled Kagome and balled up the piece of paper she was writing on. "Too formal, too formal and besides they know I'm not a resident of Kyoto," she grumbled to herself.
Kagome was tempted at this point to rest her cheek against the notebook she was writing in. 'I had been trying to prepare the right thing to say since seven o'clock and it was now…' her thoughts trailed off as she looked at the clock.
"Kami," she breathed out and looked away from her alarm clock. She didn't want to see those red letters flash 8:15 for another moment. "I give up okay," she growled and sat up straight. Pushing away the notebook that was missing must of its pages now she stood up.
"So does that mean you're ready for dinner?" asked her mother finally poking her head into the room.
"Mom I give up," she groaned and combed her fingers through her hair. "I can't do it… I don't think I'll even be able to go to school tomorrow," she sighed and pointedly.
"I don't believe it's all that serious," Mrs. Higurashi frowned thoughtfully before opening her daughter's bedroom door wider. "Come outside to eat and we'll talk over it at the table.
"No I think I lost my appetite," she mumbled. She was tempted to just go fling her body against the bed and try to get some sleep but she knew that wasn't going to happen. Nothing for once went as she wanted it too so why would something simple like this be any different?
"But honey we are having your favorite. It is best to start off your night in good cheer if you are to be in a good mood tomorrow," soothed Mrs. Higurashi.
"I… I guess," Kagome mused thoughtfully. With a slow nod of her head she stood pulling her hair out of the scrunchie it was in all day. The soft rustling sound of her nylon sweatpants was clearly heard as she stood and walked with her mother down the stairs.
Working all day to unpack and help move stuff was hard even if she wasn't allowed to move the large furniture. They had left that bit to the movers but things like boxes that were not to awkward or big to carry was left to Kagome.
It had been three days of unpacking starting from Friday when they arrived to now, Sunday night. 'Finally we can have a decent meal,' she thought to herself though she didn't mind ordering out on those other days. It was just she love homemade cooking so much, especially her mothers.
'Maybe I can find some peace here,' she thought to herself as she emerged herself in the sweet aromas of her mother's cooking. She just wanted the soothing chatter of her grandpa and her little brother to wash over her and drown out the doubt. 'I mean everything won't be so bad tomorrow… will they?' she thought to herself before her mother served her a helping of rice.
It wasn't until an hour later that Kagome found herself trudging upstairs to her room. The scrunchie that she was still wrapped around her wrist, her other fingers idly plucking at it. She never fancied herself as a person to leave her black hair up in a ponytail. She had only really did it when she had to do hard work hard like moving or even in gym.
She shook her head shaking herself out of such a dumb thought knowing that now she was really sleepily. As soon as she walked into her new room she laid down on her old bed and fell asleep without even changing out of her small white t-shirt and navy blue sweat pants.
"Sleep," she breathed and lost all consciousness.
But it seemed as suddenly as she closed her eyes she felt them grudgingly opening again. Kagome looked blurrily at the clock beeping insistently before she slammed her hand down on it. She then rolled over in her covers and slept on. 'Dumb clock,' she mumbled to herself.
It seemed a full hour of peace before the Higurashi household was racked with the shouts of a surprised teenager. The three other residents that were already awake looked at each other for an understanding moment before going back to their tasks.
"GGGGYYYYAAAAHHHH! Why didn't someone tell me I needed to wake up!" cried out Kagome as she thundered down the stairs. She finally yanked her school uniform up her waist, which was by the way her uniform from her old school.
"Well we had really expected your alarm to wake you up, didn't it?" mused her mother innocently only earning a blush from her daughter. "Then I had Souta try and rouse you awake but he said you chucked your pillow at his head," continued her mother.
"Yep sis you hit me square between the eyes," Souta pointed at the bridge of his nose. "Thank goodness it was just a pillow this time," sighed Souta before he continued to eat his cereal.
"I have not thrown anything else but a pillow at you," cried out Kagome offended. She picked up a piece of bacon up and began to nibble on it as she glared at her little brother.
"Hey sis I never said you did throw anything else but a pillow. I'm just saying there could a chance that you might…" he trailed off suggestively only for her to pinch his cheek hard.
"I have no time for this Souta. Shouldn't you be going to school? And look at this," she sighed and tugged at her skirt. "It's so embarrassing why didn't they give me the right sized uniform. It's like two sizes two small that even if I managed into it I wouldn't be able to breathe," Kagome grumbled before tugging once more at her old green school skirt as if it would become a little longer and a little bluer.
"Sweetie aren't you late?" commented her mother casually only earning a gasp from her.
"Gyyyaaahh I'm late I don't have time to be eating breakfast," she cried out and tied her red school scarf around her neck before taking off out of the door. With a piece of buttered toast clamped firmly between her teeth she ran. Backpack strap's clasp in both hands as she ran down the street, her oxford shoes making a frantic clipping rhythm against the sidewalk.
It wasn't as if the school was that far away but still she would be late if she didn't hurry up. 'And on my first day too,' she groaned inwardly. Her mind was so wrapped up in her thoughts that she wasn't watching were she was going as she entered the schoolyard. She plowed into someone and nearly fell on her butt when she met with resistant.
Stumbling back she righted herself quickly and shifted her backpack more comfortably on her shoulders.
"Gomen, gomen," she cried out in apology. She bowed repeatedly not even bothering to look up until the last moment her cheeks tinged a slight pink. When she did focus her brown eyes on the person she bumped into she just simply gapped.
'Hot,' was the first thing that came to mind and 'Dangerous' the second. Unconsciously she tucked a flyaway black lock behind her hair and looked up at the guy who had been bumped into. "I… Hi my name is Higurashi, Kagome," she breathed and gave a nervous laugh.
"Himura, Kenshin," he commented calmly before turning away from her. Not an 'Are you okay?' or a 'Oh it's okay I'm fine,' just his complete silence before he walked to the school.
Kagome stood there for a moment and watched as a girl wrapped her arms around him, a big grin on her face. "Kenshin," she squealed before latching onto his arm. "Did that girl injure you? I'll talk to her right away if she did," was clearly heard by Kagome before the girl tugged Kenshin into the school.
"Karou please it was nothing!" he said sighing in frustration as he disappeared from sight.
Kagome could only let out a heavy sigh before she made her way to first class, which was health. It was hard enough coming to this school in the middle of the school year and even worse when she saw people looking at her old uniform. The girl's skirts much longer then hers and was a nice teal color not her like her short dark green school skirt.
'Kami let me get through this,' thought Kagome and fixed herself with a smile. As soon as she found the right room she was handed a questionnaire that requested her family illness and character traits.
"I… thank you," she said and quickly went to the only seat available, which was thankfully right by the door.
She quickly marked off the things on the questionnaire like what were hereditary illnesses they had and such before she was interrupted. "It's time for you to introduce yourself," said the teacher kindly and Kagome nodded her head weakly. She then handed the questionnaire to the teacher completely filled out before standing in front of the class.
"Hello class my name is Kagome Higurashi. I've just transferred from Tama High to this prestigious school. I have a small little brother whose now been relocated to the primary school here. My favorite color is forest green and I love to eat oden. I have a calico cat named Buyo and I live in the old shrine up in Sakura Tree Hill. And of course I really do hope that we have a great school year together," Kagome announced before blushing b
"Kami this isn't the love connection we didn't' need her whole bio," laughed Megumi as she nudged Karou's side.
"Oh leave the poor girl she's a newbie," Karou commented loftily dismissing the issue and the girl.
"Well aren't you bighearted this morning," Megumi looked at her friend in amusement who rolled her eyes and focused her blue eyes on a certain red head. "You're so see-through Karou,"
"What do you mean?" asked Karou suspiciously glaring at her best friend.
"Well look at you. You nearly drooling over Kenshin and you know that he is…" then she whispered the rest in her hear. "Taken."
"A minor thing," scuffed Karou and was about to continue only to be interrupted by the teacher.
"Now as for the pairings class I want Misao to be paired with Miroku. And you Megumi… yes you will be paired with Sanosuke… Ah, ah no buts missy. Karou you are to paired with Inuyasha and Kagome you are to paired with Kenshin," the teacher continued only to be interrupted by an angry howl.
"What! This is an outrage! I would make a better mother for Kenshin's child then that… that thing," she spluttered and pointed her finger at Kagome until the poor girl turned as red as a cherry tomato.
"Miss Karou if you want to stay a member of my class and not receive attention I suggest you sit down this instant," grounded out the teacher slamming her hand down on her own desk. "This kind of behavior will not be tolerated."
"Of course Ms. Miyazawa," Karou grumbled and rolled her eyes as she sat back down.
Kagome felt like an insignificant insect to ruin the royal pair that was Karou and Kenshin. She groaned inwardly as the male classmates slowly took up their things and moved to sit down to their new life partners. She couldn't stop herself from looking at Kenshin even as she tried as he moved with confident strides towards her before sitting down. He looked at her thoughtfully once, smiled then looked towards where Karou was.
Kagome buried her face into her book trying to hide the deep blush that tainted her cheeks. 'This is not my day. Not my day at all,' she groaned in her head.
"So we are new parents it seems, that we are," Kenshin mused making small talk.
"Well yeah. I guess so," Kagome murmured half-heartedly as she lifted her head up then smile. "I mean I'm glad that you're going to be the father of my baby. It's just… it's just," she began to stumble before groaning and blushing once more.
"You shouldn't worry about this. I am sure we will do okay," Kenshin nodded his head before focusing his violet eyes impatiently on the clock.
It seemed to her as if he couldn't wait for this class to be over as much as herself. But that might also means he actually wants to be away from her. She groaned inwardly and wanted to thump her head against the desk but that would give everyone the feeling she was weird which she clearly wasn't.
"Tomorrow you will be receiving your new children. Based on the answers you plugged into the worksheet I gave you at the beginning of classes you will receive as accurate a child as possible. Please note that it's best to stay with the other parent of your child. That way you can form a more accurate bond of parenting," advised the teacher strictly as the students got up to leave.
"Yeah right like Kenshin really needs you," Karou laughed. The girl quickly wrapped her arm possessively around Kenshin's arm. She didn't even notice as Kenshin gently pulled his arm away from Karou and walked to his girlfriend who was waiting patiently outside of the class. The pale girl allowed Kenshin to kiss her before he took her hand and they walked off.
"I hate that Tomoe," Karou howled under her breath and clutched her notebook all the more tighter to her chest before flouncing off. Megumi of course was quickly behind Karou trying to sooth the wounded girl.
After what seemed a lifetime, which was in actuality a few heartbeats, Kagome spoke. "But it's my child too," Kagome mumbled weakly.
To be continued…
