Notes: Ohayo! Well this is my second chappie and the only reason I have chosen to update this fanfic is because I happen to have a lot of extra time on my hands. I would really like some positive reviews! Thank you to Kestrelangel! My first reviewer!!! Thank you for your kind review! If you tell me what you would like in a pairing, I'll write a fanfic in thanks!

I am writing a new fanfic named Lies and Truths and it is a crossover fic with the same pairing as this one. It's a one-shot, and I really enjoyed writing it, so I hope you read and leave a review. I like long reviews, but short 'I like this' reviews are perfectly fine as well.

Lies and Truths

Kagome cried out. In the cell next to her was Youko, all beaten and bloody. There were dozens upon dozens of scratches and cuts on him. It was her fault, she was the one who brought him with her! He was pretty much dead in the state he was in. Large salty tears started flowing down her face when a sudden," Why are you crying?"

Looking up startled, she saw Youko staring at her with a grin on his bruised face. He grinned even more," Did I scare you?" But the sight of her crying cut his amusement short. Running down her face were little droplets of water that came from her eyes. Kagome quickly turned around and started scolding herself, " Stupid, stupid! What am I crying for?! Urgh, I can't stop it!" The soft patter of tears going along with her mental scolding. " Yeah I was scared, the thought of Youko not being there…terrified me. When have I been such a crybaby?" she went on berating herself. A sudden snap brought her out of her thoughts.

Not even having enough time to ask what it was, two lean arms encircled her in a strong embrace through the bars of her cell." I…am sorry. Don't cry, I'm sorry. I'm sorry." He mumbled into her neck, openly kissing it as he apologized. "Is this a lie too?" she thought to herself. Breaking away from Youko's embrace she turned to face him.

With every ending there is a new beginning
With every closed door there is a new one that opens

Yoko opened bleary eyes. He hadn't meant to sleep in late, but the sent in his nose was so relaxing. Noticing a black blue head under his chin, he looked down to meet the face of his rescuer.

She was pretty, he was willing to admit. Long lashes and even longer hair with deep blue eyes to match. But pale porcelain skin and a small form made her look fragile, breakable.

He immediately knew when she had woken, cloudy blue eyes opening to meet amber. She blushed; it was odd for her to wake up next to this youkai she had just met. Even odder was the fact that he was cuddling her… wait… aaagh! He was cuddling her! Turning ten shades of red with a few blues in between she stuttered.

"W-w-w-h-hat a-are you d-doing?" sitting ramrod straight. He didn't reply, instead looking at her with deep amber eyes. Suddenly he winced, falling onto her as he collapsed. Kagome looked him over and winced, his back was still covered in gashes. A soft almost inaudible whimper brought her to the man's face. He was pale and sweating, his eyes had an unhealthy sheen to them.

Kagome, being Kagome, forever Kagome, panicked. Her attentions to him didn't work at all the night before so she simply bandaged his wounds again. Kagome huffed, no matter what she did, his long silvery locks got in her way. It was a similar shade to Inuyasha's, but it had more of a silver tone to it than his. He also had two bigger fluffy ears, at least they looked fluffy, and a long tail. A tail! Much better than Inuyasha's only ears.

Aware of his intent staring she looked at him, "Yes?" No reply. Kagome twitched. It seemed as if he couldn't talk, but he didn't have to keep staring at her like that!

"Can you quit staring at me like that!" she ordered.

"………"

"You're infuriating!"

"…….."

"Prick!"

"………."

"Stupid, egotistic, non-social, annoying demons!" she shouted exasperated. He stared at her for a moment, bent over, and did the unexpected, he licked her cheek. Kagome snapped back as though she had been stung. Hand rising up to touch the slightly damp patch of skin, her eyes met gold. She shivered at his intense gaze.

Youko was pleased. The woman, Kagome, seemed shocked by what he had just done. Being the demon he was, he could tell she was a little bit aroused by what he had done to her cheek. A sudden stab of pain went up his side and he hissed. The stupid rat demon had poisoned him, and then the sudden attack slashed his stomach open.

Kagome winced as she saw the gash reopening in his side. It looked really painful, especially since it was bleeding pretty badly. With a sudden gasp she sat bolt straight. She couldn't believe it, how stupid was she?! She had to do something about the cut, and soon. The pretty youkai, Youko, was bleeding and she was just staring at him like an idiot!

Grabbing her first aid kit, she pulled out a few bandages. Youko threw her a wary look. Kagome sighed, "If I was going to poison you I already would have." She pointed out. She bended over the wound, and tried bandaging it up. Noting his stiff posture, she started humming. He bent over slightly, Kagome grinned. He was relaxing! Finished with her treatment of his wound, she started rubbing his back. She started frowning at the sudden tenseness of his muscles; Kagome swore that there was mini tennis balls buried in his back.

A sudden rumbling sound made her stop for a second. There was no rumbling sound… it must have been her imagination. Continuing with her massage, until the rumbling started again. It sounded like suspiciously like purring… and it was coming from Youko. Kagome grinned, the hot dude was purring! An annoyed growl caught her attention. Looking down she saw that his eyes were firmly closed, a little growl rumbling from his throat, his fuzzy ears twitching with her every movement.

Her fingers started to unconsciously twitch towards the two fuzzy, cute, adorable ears. When they finally reached their destination she started with a slow little rub. As the purring grew louder she rubbed more. Suddenly a pair of arms pulled her down as they grasped her hips.

Youko felt his eyes starting to sag. The ningen was massaging his back, and it gave him a pleasurable sensation. The loosening of tense muscles in his neck relaxed him even more. He dozed off, not really sleeping, but resting all the same. When suddenly she stopped he gave a displeased rumble. He was still awake, and didn't want her to stop.

Suddenly two small hands latched onto his ears. He would have jumped if he had been any other demon. Staying in a state of dozing, he gave off a pleased rumble once again. His ears were one of the more sensitive parts of him, and it was nice to be getting a rub now and then. Though most who had dared to that the thief found their selves chewed up by various carnivorous plants.

She was causing very pleasurable sensations with those talented fingers of hers. Constantly rubbing and kneading. His ears and eyes started drooping even more than before, his tail beating a steady rhythm against the leg it was currently curled around.

Knowing he would fall asleep if she continued, Youko grabbed her. Dragging her down and giving her a tight embrace. Dragging her down onto the futon, he murmured for her to sleep, and then drifted off into blissful unconsciousness. Even as he slept, he stayed in a state of alertness. Being the thief he was, it was just not comfortable to really sleep. Feeling her shift closer and bury her face into his chest, he gave a content rumble, letting her drift off into sleep as he slept, yet acutely aware of all that went on around him. It was…nice, having this little mortal against his chest and grasping his tunic as if her were an anchor.

True he had seen prettier, but this woman was exceptional. She seemed kind, yet an odd pig-headed sort. She didn't fear him, yet treated him as an equal even though he was a youkai. He liked the girl, she was very interesting. As if sensing his thoughts, Kagome gave a little grin in her sleep. Yes, she was indeed interesting.

Kagome gave a little yawn. She had slept well, though the mattress was a bit too firm. Sitting up, she was aware of a little groaning sound coming from the mattress, looking down at what she expected to find as Buyo only to see… Youko?!

Turning fifty shades of red she jumped up and off of him. Stuttering and gasping, she nearly missed his amused chuckles. Youko was holding his sides and laughing as if there was no tomorrow. Suddenly reminded of how different he looked no that he was laughing and not Sesshomaru like.

Wait…Sesshomaru…Inuyasha…Oh no! She had to get back! What would Inuyasha say?! How would she get back?! Suddenly going swirly eyed she toppled backwards. Readying herself for a hard fall, she surprised when a pair of hands caught her on her way to meeting the cave floor. Turning around she saw Youko holding her up, the faintest trace of a smile on his face.

Kagome stood up and grumbled, embarrassed at what had just happened. Stupid youkai…wait that was the answer! Looking up at Youko with large glistening eyes, "Do you think you could, uh, give me a lift home?" she asked in her most innocent voice. Youko nearly stumbled backwards, and then gave a little chuckle that Kagome was quickly falling for. Hey, it was a cute chuckle! Debating with herself, she missed Youko's response. "Say what?" she asked confused.

"I suppose I can take you to your village," he restated. Kagome blinked for a few moments, then suddenly jumped at him and gave him the biggest hug she had ever given. Inuyasha wasn't going to kill her….well he couldn't anyway. She would've just sat him into the ground, but this was a much better alternative.

"Shall we go?" he asked. Kagome simply stared at him with large glistening eyes. She took it back, he wasn't a prick, he was an angel from the Kami! Nodding her head, she prepared to get on his back when he suddenly scooped her up. Giving a small squeak, she blushed. True, Inuyasha had held her like this before, but not often. He jumped out of the cave and sprinted towards the little village of Edo. Kagome sighed as she buried her head into Youko's chest.

When they finally reached the little village Youko sniffed the air disdainfully. 'Half-breed,' he thought to himself. The scent steadily and quickly got stronger, and closer. Reaching into his hair in case it was an enemy, the aura stopped right in front of Kagome. He was startled when she let out a loud, "Inuyasha!" She obviously knew him, but Youko decided that the hanyou was still a threat.

"Where have you been Ka-go-me?!" he snarled in her face.

"Um…you see Youko here needed my help….and I decided to give it to him" she said sweating all the meanwhile. Youko clenched his fists; it was dishonorable to treat a woman such! Stepping forward he told Inuyasha, "It is my fault if there is anyone to blame, it is not the girl."

"Keh, right, I bet you couldn't just wait to get your hands on her could you fox? Is Kagome even pure anymore?" he sneered. Kagome gasped. 'Why that annoying little, stupid, possessive jerk!' Turning around she started towards the well with Youko hot on her heels.

"Oi Kagome, where do you think you're going?"

"I'm going home!"

"Who said you could?"

"I do!"

"You sure as hell are not going!" he shouted leaping up after her not wanting her to leave him again.

Turning around quickly she snarled, "Sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, SIT!" Kagome kept on walking they were a good distance away from Inuyasha when a loud chuckle made her turn around. Youko was holding his sides laughing so hard that tears started to well up in his eyes. Kagome stared stunned, true he had chuckled once or twice, but never like this!

She suddenly smiled. It was nice seeing him smile and laugh as if he had no care in the world. He was beautiful when he smiled, and was even prettier when he laughed. Youko stopped and stared at the little miko smiling so gently at him. It had been a long time since someone smiled at him like that. The last time was before… his clan had been slain. His eyes darkened, it had been years since than, but it was still one of the more… sensitive memories. Jolted out of his dark thoughts by the gentle touch of Kagome's hand pressing against his forehead, which was quite a feat considering how much shorter she actually was than him. Kagome was worried; Youko had suddenly gone from happy to a bit depressed. She was removing her hand from his forehead when he snatched it and pressed it against his cheek. He marveled at how soft her hands were, and how small they were compared to his.

Kagome blushed as Youko held her hand. When he finally let go of her hand, she took a step back. Smiling at him she told him that she had to go home. Nodding his head he followed her. Kagome blushed; she forgot to tell him her home was five hundred years in the future. Coming to a stop at the well she waved a goodbye while laughing at his confused expression. Jumping down she missed his startled face as she fell down the well, five hundred years into the future.

________________________________________________________________________

Youko ran over to the well in shock. She had just jumped down a well that was possibly very deep. He noticed as he got there that she had disappeared with nothing left but her scent. For some odd reason there was a silent aching in his chest, a wanting for the miko from the future.

Ignoring the slight ache he turned towards the little village, deciding that he wanted answers.

Kagome sighed as she reached the well house. A warm bath seemed like a good idea at the moment. Upon entering the house with a loud I'm home her mother peaked around the corner with a smile on her face. "Kagome you remember your brother from a month ago right?" Kagome paused…. Oh!

"He's back?!"

"Yeah, apparently he just got back from a vacation and wanted to meet up with you. Something about introducing you to his friends, and he'll be staying over for about…forever."

"What?!"

"Well, he's an orphan now. Kyoko (unfortunately I don't know her name) was murdered by an unknown object. Poor boy, but that's why he's staying with us."

"But his friends are staying here!"

"Oh, they all made it to the new high school. And I think that one of his friend's sister has decided to move in with us, while another's mother was also murdered. Poor boys, they must be so sad…"

"Wait, you never said there was going to be more than one! Are we running a boarding house or something?!" she shouted while her eyes slowly turned swirly from all of her confusion.

"Yes Kagome, and don't forget we currently extended the house so it'll be fine. Oh, and he requested for you to come get him at the station. Something about 'Tokyo's a huge city, how do you expect me to find your house?'"

"When do I have to go?" Kagome asked a bit panicked. Her cousin was coming back! Sure he was a jerk, and swore like a construction worker, but he was awesome! They were related by the fact that her father had married his mom first, and then divorced her for her mom. Oddly enough they were born in the same year, though he was born during the winter, in January, while she was born in May. They had met a month ago and were nearly inseparable. He was a bit over-protective of her seeing how she was his only sister, he would not tolerate guys being within a two foot distance of her… unless it was him that was. She quickly grew to consider him her real brother along with Souta.

"Uhm, about seven."

"Seven?! I only have one hour, and I'm a mess! What'll I do?! Oh, I'll take a quick shower! That's it! Ohhh! I gotta hurry!" she panicked. He was rarely ever available because he was always traveling to some place or another. This last week, he had gone to Hawaii. Kagome worried over them finding out about them finding out about her secret. What if they were there when Inuyasha tried to pick her up? How was she going to cover that up? Taking a quick bath she put on a white turtleneck with a dark blue cami-hoodie to go on top of it. Leaving on her bracelets that Youko had sneaked onto her, and putting on a longer skirt that went a bit past her thighs.

Snapping on her shoes, she ran out the door. He was back! Getting to Tokyo Station just as it turned seven. She waited a bit impatiently as her brother got off the train. What was taking him so long? What if he was kidnapped? No, he was too tough for that. What if he had been killed? No, he was too stubborn to die like that. A sudden shout brought her out of her musings.

"Yo, Kagome!"

"Yusuke!"

So, what do you think? I know I just killed off a lot of characters, but hey, it's what's needed to keep the story going on. I'm not sure when I'll put in a third chapter… but hey, one comment made me write an entire six paged chapter! I am a beginner so I know I write pretty short chappies, but I'm getting better at making longer chapters with just as good writing material. I just posted two more stories, one of which is actually a crossover with Roruni Kenshin. I really like a lot of pairings, so some of the pairings may seem a bit odd at times. I already have the next chapter written, so if you want it, review!
