A.N. I do not own Inuyasha or Doctor Who. It's a short one, but I will have another out within a week.
"So, you think that an alien has possessed the Japanese prime minister and is abducting and/or killing humans for unknown reasons, and is inviting world leaders in order to install more alien life forms into them in order to enact a plot for world domination?" the miko asked, eying the alien in wonder. She believed him. She'd certainly seen and heard weirder things in her travels but still... Aliens.
"Not much different than your Naraku." Smiling a bit, he eyed his young companion. He had done thorough research on her and found mainly legends in human databases, though for the "demon" history, there was a decent amount of information.
"True," she conceded with a slight frown. Naraku had taken over many lives in his fifty years of existence, using the identities of those who could best serve him. It seemed fitting that even life forms that were far more advanced would do similar things. Why mess with the classics? They still worked no matter what the time.
Noting her slightly grim smile, he felt a bit like they were kindred spirits in the moment. Letting her have the time, he squeezed her hand lightly and prepared to touch down.

"Are you sure about this Kagome?" Emiko murmured softly, appraising her daughter carefully. Perhaps it seemed odd. but she was far more worried about her going after the unknown in the modern world than she ever was about her adventures in the past.
Understanding her mother's trepidation, she gave her a tight hug. "I'm sure." Letting go of her, she smiled. "I've been running around the past, making the tough decisions. This will be good, to experience things like the others do." While she worried deeply for her friends, the battles they fought and how things turned out, she had a reprieve. She could go home for a few days and have a relative safety that they did not. Doing something here, in her rightful time would give her a better insight and maybe make her even more dedicated to her quest.
Knocking on the door drew the eyes of mother and daughter as a head popped in. "Are you ready, Kagome?"
Straightening the black knee-length pencil skirt, the teen smiled. "I think so. How do I look?"
Taking in her professional attire, the male gave a slight smile. With the skirt, jacket and blouse, she looked every bit the young reporter he had her portraying. "Excellent. You look the part and I'm sure they'll give you access." She looked like a professional, yes, but they'd also assume her young and inexperienced. "Shall we go?"
"Be careful." Watching the two, the Higurashi matriarch waved as they disappeared down the stairs. No matter where or when her daughter was, she was always in danger it seemed. But just as she trusted Inuyasha, she would trust this Doctor.

"So, I just go in and take a seat with the rest of the reporters then?" Worrying her lip and clipping the badge to her lapel, she shifted foot to foot. She wasn't used to going into a situation like this without the benefit of being from hundreds of years in the future.
"Exactly." He smiled reassuringly at her, and edged her towards the room. "You just go in there and work your magic." As soon as she was seated, he disappeared to go poke around himself. He had his own badge, declaring him an assistant to the reporter from a British network, where Kagome's alias was from.
"Halt." The voice was cool and more than a little intimidating.
Frowning at being discovered so soon, he turned with a polite smile and blinked at the clearly nonhuman male before him. In fact... "Are you related to Inuyasha?"
