Disclaimer: I don't own Danny Phantom or Inuyasha. Butch Hartman and Rumiko Takahashi do.

AN: First off, about the title. Inuyasha can be considered a hybrid just as Danny can. Second off,this is my first crossover ever.

Two Hybrids Meet

Blue eyes met brown across the camp fire. Where a pair of dog ears would normally be perched swiveling around to catch the faintest sounds instead was a pair of human ears on the moonless night.

Inuyasha was confused. They had been battling what this newcomer called ghosts earlier during the day. It was the closest they had ever come to losing a fight before. Only Miroku's spirit sutras had had any effect and there were simply too many enemies and too little sutras. Inuyasha had felt his youkai leaving him even before the sun had went down and he had turned human so when the familiar pulse came they all figured they were all as good as lost. Then just when they were about to give up hope a swirling green portal appeared and a strange boy with hair as white as Inuyasha's usually was came flying through clad in some strange tight black and white suit with a foreign white symbol on the chest.

The portal behind him closed once he had fully come out and the boy had taken one look at the situation before turning toward the spirits that were attacking and giving them such a beating as easily as if he were simply fighting normal people. After they had all received their beatings he pulled out a shiny metal container and puller off the lid encasing them all in a bright blue light before it sucked them all in.

Now while the appearance and fight were all shocking they were nothing compared to what the boy did next. Everyone gasped in shock as a bright white ring formed around his waist before splitting into 2 and one moved up while the other moved down replacing the strange warrior of earlier with a shy weak looking kid with midnight black hair and piercing ice blue eyes wearing clothes that looked similar to those that the boys in Kagome's time wear.

Danny Phantom or Fenton depending on what form he was in was what Kagome had managed to translate from him. Kagome was apparently taught english in this 'school' of hers, and from what she said he was American and therefore spoke english. Once she had realized that he spoke english the 2 had immediately gone into conversation with Kagome speaking in a slow start stop way of broken english and Danny patiently listening before replying in a smooth and calming voice.

He would be stuck here for at least a week at best according to what Kagome translated from his confusing talk. After a bit of talking amongst the group they had agreed that he could travel around with them until it was time for him to leave. Until then he would have to tell them his story and explain everything they had not understood. He agreed but in return he wanted to know Kagome's story since he knew she was from modern times from the clothes that she wore.

'He's like me.' Inuyasha thought as he watched the boy from across the dancing flames of the fire. 'Only half human.'

The being in question was hesitantly trying a fish that had been roasted by the fire while telling a story about one of his friends to Kagome who in turn was translating it into Japanese for the others.

Inuyasha couldn't help but think how this strange boy belonged neither to death nor life but instead was one of both and could easily switch between his living body and his spiritual one.

Inuyasha had found his story interesting but not as much as Kagome had. According to her this boy, Danny, was a hero in a foreign country known as America. She had also said how the rest of the world in her time knew nothing of Phantom being Fenton. How the world saw them as 2 different people. She explained to the inutachi how if anyone from her time had ever found out about it, then Danny would likely suffer a fate worse than death itself being trapped in some place called a lab and guarded by a youkai called a scientist who would put him through all sorts of horrible tests that would be excruciatingly painful.

"So...Danny?" Kagome began slowly in her heavily accented english.

Inuyasha perked up when he heard the boy hum in reply.

"Why... do-you... think your parents... won't accept you?" Kagome asked before turning her head to repeat the question to her friends so that they would all understand. Blinking he sat there for a minute and the others had started to think he wasn't going to answer while Kagome was silently panicking thinking she had said something wrong. After a few seconds he told her and Kagome relaxed and told the others what he had said.

"He says it's because his parents are ghost hunters." Kagome said and at the sight of her friends' confusion elaborated. "They're like taijiya Sango. It's their job to hunt ghosts down and they believe that all ghosts are nothing but evil memories of people that took form and exist only to harm others."

Upon hearing that Inuyasha felt sympathy for Danny.

Almost a week had passed seeing as how tomorrow Danny would be leaving. Danny had been mildly surprised the next day and had given a bit of a shout when Inuyasha transformed at sunrise since he had only come after the sun had set and had therefore not been there to witness Inuyasha in his usual coloring and dog ears.

Over the course of the few days Inuyasha had built up an immense amount of respect for Danny and considered him a friend if not a brother. Soon after the sun had rose the group plus Danny headed out to continue their journey in searching for the shards. By the end of the day Kagome had told Danny everything she knew about Inuyasha including the way he was often treated for being a hanyo. Danny didn't seem too surprised when he heard because he told Kagome how the humans and ghosts treated him and how if it weren't for his human-half he would be almost totally isolated. After a while a friendship seemed to form between the two hybrids and pretty soon they were almost inseparable. They no longer needed to speak to really understand each other either, a look in the eyes was all that was required and both were content with the silence that stayed between them.

'A great friend.' Inuyasha thought as his left ear twitched in the direction of his friend and he saw Danny's legs shift into a tail in what was probably a subconscious move.

When the last night that Danny would be in the feudal era or even in Japan finally rolled around the two had stayed up to watch over the others as they slept and to spend some time together before Danny left. Danny was sitting by the fire and watching the skies while Inuyasha watched the flames themselves and in silence the two sat until dawn. When the sun rose up everyone started to wake up and just as everyone had gotten up a large swirling green portal opened up and a young ghost child came floating through draped in a purple cloak and carrying an intricate staff. Suddenly the young child shifted into a young man and dressed Danny.

"Daniel."

"Clockwork." Danny responded with a nod of his head before explaining to Kagome who the other ghost was.

"Are you ready to go home?" Clockwork asked Danny who again nodded before asking if he could say goodbye first.

"You may but keep in mind that this is not the last time that you will be seeing your friends." with that said the other ghost drifted into the portal and disappeared.

Danny turned around and said his individual goodbyes to Sango, Miroku, Shippo, Kagome, and even Kirara with Kagome translating as always before coming to a stop in front of Inuyasha and doing the last thing anyone would have expected. He hugged him and thanked him for being like an older brother to him.

"Oi! Don't you let anyone pick on you." Inuyasha said as Danny pulled away and Kagome again translated as that being her new job of the group.

"I won't" Danny shouted as he jumped through the portal not knowing who he would be seeing later on the other side.

The inutachi watched as their friend disappeared into the portal before the portal itself evaporated and once it was gone Inuyasha made a silent promise to see his friend again someday.
