Chapter 2: Chance Meeting...Missed

Inuyasha: Worlds Collide -- Chapter 2
Chance Meeting...Missed
by Mac (ME!! YAY!!!)

Author's Note: Okay I have a few things you all need to know before you read the story. There are a few denotations you need to know. The descriptions will be short sweet and to the point so you can get to the story. Also one other thing...I do not own Inuyasha or any of it characters. The show and everything in it belongs to it's creator whose name escapes (gomen nasai!!) me right now. The only things I own are the two characters not a part of the show...Ami and Omikako. (You'll see don't worry.) So please don't take without permission from me. Thank you!!! And please tell me what you think of my fanfic.

"Ami. Ami, Ami are you okay?" Omikako asked concerned by the auburn haired girl's mute gaze at this monk. She didn't say anything, but she instead started walking towards the small group of people.

"Sango? What's going on with Inuyasha and Kagome?" Miroku asked when he had reached her.

"I don't quite know. Inuyasha meant to grab Shippo and got Kagome instead." Sango informed him as she made sure not to stand to close to the monk.

"Inuyasha?" Kagome looked up at Inuyasha, while a blush spread across her face.

"Kagome, I..." Inuyasha pulled away, his face taking on a deep red. That's when he noticed the auburn haired girl walking slowly toward them. Wait she's not walking toward us, she's walking toward Miroku?? Then for some reason she stopped and just stared.

"Did you do what you wanted?" Sango asked Miroku.

"No." Miroku said somberly. "I can't believe she's not here, that she didn't wait for me. I told her that I'd come back for her." he thought.

"Were you looking for someone?" Kagome asked, now finally over her shock of being grabbed and held by her dream guy. The guy she had come to love more than her own life.

"Yes. She was my only friend, the only one who wasn't scared of getting sucked into the wind tunnel. She was beautiful. She has auburn hair and emerald green eyes. Her eyes always seemed to be smiling at me." Miroku said as he gazed at the sky. "We were betrothed as small kids. Then I left to go after Naraku, I told her that I'd come back for her but it seems she didn't believe me for she is not here."

"Omikako, let's go." Ami said sadly as she broke her gaze away from the monk. Cough, Cough

"Are you sure? It seems you know that monk somehow." Omikako said as he eyed her worriedly.

"Yes, I am sure." she said looking at him. She could tell he knew something was wrong with her health. She couldn't believe how much he had changed. When they had first met, he didn't care really, what happened to her. In fact, he didn't really care for human at all. He wasn't like other youkai either, though. Other youkai went around killing humans, trying to eradicate them completely. Omikako just killed them if they went after him.

But now, he was actually worried about her. He had never worried about her. The only real reason he stayed with her was because he thought he owed her. She had saved him from a youkai-witch. He never mentioned what she had done to him but, ever since then he followed her, trying to find a way to repay her so he could go about his business. At least that's what she thought. Really she didn't know why he'd stayed for so long, but she wasn't about to complain about it. She enjoyed his company and the not-too-often talks they had, and the warmth his fur provided for her on those ungodly cold nights.

"I know a place where we can stay. It stays pretty warm there." he said, breaking her from her memories. He started heading in the opposite direction from where they had come.

"Shouldn't we get some food and supplies?" she whispered low, honestly afraid of his reaction. Usually when she made a suggestion or asked a question he would give her an angry growl.

"We can get fruit from the surrounding trees and I'll go get a deer for our meat. As for any supplies, we have what we need. Your crystal sword is sufficient. Medicine is not a necessity either because, Mages and Youkai rarely ever get sick. Now let's get going, okay?"

She was a little surprised by the calmness and sincerity in his voice. He started walking again and she fell into step behind him.

Miroku never noticed the auburn haired girl, the one he had wished to see again, leave. Inuyasha, on the other hand, did not miss their exit.

"I wonder why Omikako is traveling with that mage--human. He had better not take her to see Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru would kill her. Or maybe..." Inuyasha whispered to himself as he watched the pair leave. "What are you up to, Omikako?"
