Ok, so, basically, this is an NarutoxInuyasha crossover. The gang must cross the Ninja controlled Highlands of suna, and the Lush forests of Konoha to follow Hakudoshi's trail as they make their way to the last shard of the Shikon Jewel : the border between this world and the next.

Review please!

Passage, Chpt 1

Kirara was moving at top speed, thought slowed by the weight of Kagome, Sango and Myoga. They had rode for hours to cross the great marshes of the Chugoku Region. Inuyasha scouted about half a kilometer in advance, sometimes clearing a few demons out with a slash of the Tetsaiga. Miroku followed below them, running at full speed. Shippo was asleep in Kagome's bag, and myoga, well, was nowhere to be seen. Again.

« Kagome, We must proceed throughout that large grassland on foot. I'll tell you why when we reach groundside. » The demon slayer said over the harsh wind that just seemed to get stronger.

Soon, they caught up with Inuyasha and miroku.

« so, why'd we have to run all the way trough these plains? It's a drag! » Inuyasha bellowed.

« I think I know why, but my lack of knowledge on this matter will not help me here. Sango, if you would? » Miroku said in a calm tone.

Another gust of wind roared past them, and for a split second, the gang had a feeling they where being watched. It subsided soon enough, thought, so They didn't show any signs of discomfort in any way.

« thanks, Miroku. Any way, we are about to enter ninja territory, and I can tell you they aren't like the frontline village we saw when those two kids stole my weapons » she said.

The group winced at the thought of the ninja twins and Inuyasha's sword hand twitched, remembering all the killing. He was, a Hanyou, after all.

"they are highly secretive and we will have to be escorted throughout the Countries. I don't know much except that. We are going to walk, because we are approaching the desert, and the winds are too strong for Kirara."

"so we're walking then? sigh , Kagome, you coming?"

The young Miko jumped on Inuyasha,s shoulders and they where off. As the hours trailed, The Feeling being followed only worsened. At the fall of dusk, the group settled int a crevice formed in the harsh Landscape. Nothing was left of Japan's forest, and they had come to the desert outskirts. The heat rose several degrees and the earth was dry. Only a couple of small bushes dotted the plains, and nothing was seen in the horizon except a faint light that betrayed the location of an outpost.

"The patrols are in at this time, or so it looks like. I've heard tales of carnivorous beasts in the desert. Althought I doubt they make it this far, It would be wise if we established sentry-duties. I take the first shift. Inuyasha, I'll wake you up at midnight. We leave with the dawn." Sango explained.

After a couple of complaints from Inuyasha, and a single 'sit' command to shut him up, the group fell into a deep sleep. Kagome didn't sleep well that night. She had a nightmare, where she was pursued by a thing that looked like a giant Raccon, but with a demonic aura. It repeated 'I shall feast upon your blood, wretched priestess', and then A blurry image of a young adult in his early twenties flashed to her. He had blood red hair and was wearing some kind of stone on his back, and he had Black eyeliner that didn't cover a scar he bore upon his forehead.

"…go…me" a voice muttered.

"ka…go..me" there it went again… was it calling her name?

"KAGOME!" Inuyasha's voice yelled.

"KYAAH! SIT!" She screamed without conscience. Only then she saw the two weird strangers and everyone(except Inuyasha, who was looking like a frightened ostrich with his head in the sand) with they're weapons unsheated.

"arms down, people. Welcome to Suna no Kuni. The name's Mikadori Kanna. I'll be your escort along with Tajori Jo, over there."

The ninjas where here.
