"speaking"

'thoughts'

FD: any author notes (A/N) are the voices in my head interjecting their thoughts into the story.

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas or the movie from which this quote was taken.

Pairing: Kagome and Jack Skellington.

Background: Kagome completed the Jewel Quest and this is after the movie somewhat of Nightmare, but with out the ending scene of Jack and Sally. If you're not familiar with Nightmare, i don't think it will be too confusing for you, but idk. Now go forth and read and enjoy.

Sauna

"Stupid Inuyasha," Kagome mumbled to herself as she attempted to catch up on her school work. After about a half hour of getting nothing done, she decided to take a walk to clear her head. As she raced out the front door she yelled back, "Mom, I'm going for a walk."

She walked until she got to a park. When she found a decent place to rest, she settled down. She then proceeded to think about the past few years: her adventures, her friends and her broken heart. 'Stupid Inuyasha and how could Sango…' Shaking herself out of her thoughts, she finally took in her surroundings. As she looked at the grove of trees she was in, she noticed that every tree had a door. There was a shamrock, an egg, a turkey, a Christmas tree, a heart, a fire cracker and finally on the tree she was leaning against, there was a pumpkin. Being her usual curious self, she opened the pumpkin shaped door and was somehow pulled through.

"Not again," she said.

When she landed, she took in the dark and eerie place. "Well, it looks like I'm not in Japan anymore." She continued walking until she got to a sign that said, 'Welcome to Halloween Town.'

"Definitely not in Japan anymore."

As she got further into the town she heard singing. 'Sounds like they're wondering about something.' The further she moved towards the singing, the colder it got and she realized that it had snowed. When she finally reached the place where all the noise was coming from, she saw an assortment of creatures: a werewolf, vampires, witches, a ghost dog, a rather handsome skeleton and more. It was the dog who noticed her first. She watched as the dog came over to her.

"Well hello there boy. Aren't you a cutie?"

"Woof."

"His name is Zero," said the skeleton.

"Oh."

"And who might you be?"

Instead of answering Kagome muttered, "This is not real, this is just a dream."

"And hell is just a sauna," the skeleton replied.

"Well, then where am I and who are you?" (A/N: clearly she didn't pay attention to the sign.)

At this point, they were the only people around, everyone else had gone off.

"Well, I'm Jack Skellington and you are in Halloween Town. Now again, what is your name?"

"I'm Kagome."

"You don't seem afraid. Why not?"

"I've seen things far scarier than this place."

"Like what?"

"Demons."

"Ah, I believe there are none of those around here."

"That's good."

Kagome and Jack looked down when they heard Zero bark.

"Yes, yes, alright Zero," Jack said as he took one of his ribs and tossed it.

"You can't feel that?"

"No, I'm dead."

"Ah. Sorry, that was probably a stupid question."

Chuckling Jack replied, "I don't think so. You're in a place that you didn't think was real, it's only natural to be curious."

Before Kagome could respond, Zero came back with the bone.

"May I?" Kagome inquired.

"Sure."

Kagome took the bone and tossed it. Smiling as Zero took of floating after the bone, she turned back to Jack.

"Would you like me to show you around town?" Jack questioned.

"Yes, if you could."

Jack offered her his arm, which she took and began showing her around, as well as introducing her to the other residents.

"What are you thinking about?"

Kagome turned to the man next to her and smiled, "Oh, just how we first met, Jack."

"I'm glad you stumbled upon our little town," Jack replied.

"I am too."

Jack then leaned in and gave Kagome a sweet kiss. They reluctantly broke the kiss when they heard a scream. They both turned to see their daughter Kari playing with Zero in the pumpkin patch.

"She looks happy," commented Kagome.

"Of course, who could ask for more than to have horrible parents like us?" (A/N: and when I say horrible, I mean wonderful….if you've seen Nightmare Before Christmas, you know what they mean when they say it.)

"Yes, that's why. It has nothing to do with the fact that she's playing with Zero," Kagome replied with a sarcastic tone to her voice.

"Hey, I'm a lot of fun."

"Yes, yes you are," Kagome said with a knowing smirk.

"Not now dear."

"I know."

"Later."

"Of course," Kagome replied as she cuddled up to his side, "I love you, Pumpkin King."

"And I love you, as well, my Pumpkin Queen."

They then shared a sweet kiss, before going back to watching their daughter and Zero.
