A.N. I do not own Inuyasha or Doctor Who.

"So, you are already here to take care of the threat, know who I am as well as Kagome, know the outcome of her adventures and you insist that I leave without telling her that I've seen you? Are you sure you know who I am?" the Doctor asked with a grin.

"Quite certain. And you would be wise to follow my instructions, Doctor. Or else there might be, 'spoilers'." False brown eyes bore into the human looking alien with a certain undeniable knowledge.

Frowning, the curly haired male looked a little put out. "Oh, fine." But what would he tell Kagome? He turned and walked down the hall to collect the priestess.

As soon as he left, a curly haired woman sighed and stepped from the shadows. "He won't leave. Not really. It might be better if I left. He's still far too young for me to meet." She looked troubled, very troubled that they could have run into one another and disrupted the flow of time.

"If you're sure, Doctor Song." Appraising the woman, the white-blond man appeared quite displeased. "The priestess is here as well."

"Ah, and you already told him, rightfully so, that she can't know about you, Sesshomaru. Spoilers are more than irritating, they're dangerous. Wait in the wings as the emperor won't let you leave, but wait. You should be able to hide yourself from her. She's not strong enough to find you when you don't want to be found, yet." With that, the woman disappeared in the opposite direction as the Doctor.

"So we're just going to leave? We can't! I mean, world leaders are going to be here. We're not wrong about this." Blue eyes bore into the alien with absolute determination.

Not able to tell her why he was saying what he was, the Doctor looked thoughtful. Maybe his future self was here and that was what the demon meant? But then, his future self wouldn't have come knowing he would be here, unless he remembered and remembered being sent away, but then why come at all if he knew he would have to send him away? Oh, it all gave him a headache. But... "You're right, we're not wrong. Let's dig a little more."

Walking in the shadows, the disguised youkai did as the alien woman told him and merely observed the two as they investigated the files. Mainly that there were none. All operations from the Prime Minister's office had essentially ceased and the members of the payroll were dwindling.

"How can no one notice this?" Kagome asked in horror as she looked it all over. "They're not even doing the jobs of government."

"Bureaucracy doesn't change no matter where or when you are," the alien intoned dryly as he studied the disappearance pattern of the different employees of the office from the payroll as well as the disappearance of people at large.

Footsteps sounded nearby as voiced got closer to the office.

With a quiet 'eep' the blue eyed Japanese woman ducked underneath a desk, dragging the alien with her. Being in here had to be a felony at the minimum!

"Oh, Mr. Prime Minister, in here? Why can't we just go to a motel?" a feminine voice asked, a hint of a pout in her tone as the door opened.

"I could never allow you to face such scrutiny should we be caught, Kumiko." The voice was masculine and very proper.

"Bureaucracy never changes," the Doctor repeated softly as they watched the older man kiss the young girl.

Disgusted, the teen watched and then tensed as she sensed something. "No... It's not just a tryst... Look!" Horrified, she leapt to her feet, knocking over a chair when his hand began to glow, burning through the young woman's clothes.

"What's going o-AAHHH!" the young woman screamed as she was turned to ash, the pain white hot and unbearable, then nothing at all as she disintegrated and was then absorbed.

"Well, nosy reporter, aren't you?" the Prime Minister commented, eyes flashing. When they landed on the Doctor, behind her, he smirked. "Oh, well now, that explains much. Come to stop me, Time Lord?"

"Don't let him touch you, Kagome. He is a Cinsquantum-He wants to turn the world to ash so that he may feast," the Doctor cautioned, tugging the teen behind him protectively.

In the shadows, Sesshomaru's hand twitched over his weapon. If she died, it could all unravel...

"You just..." Looking at where the woman had been seconds before, she felt her stomach roll. She had seen death many times, but somehow, for it to happen here, was infinitely worse. "You killed her."

Snickering, the disguised alien looked her over. "Yes, and her ash was delightful... I wonder what yours will taste like?"

Sensing a change to the air, the Doctor looked back at her, seeing pink light around his companion. The hair on the back of his neck stood on end. "Kagome..."

She was frightened. This man was planning on destroying the word, feasting on the ash of all life. Her mother, her brother, grandfather, everyone... He was like Naraku. And then she felt tremendous guilt that she was here and not preventing this destruction from happening in the feudal era, the shards of the jewel empowering many to be just as dangerous. Trembling, she felt her power building up, boiling. "Doctor... Get out..."

Eyes widening, the alien did not think. He fled. And if he'd seen the flash of fear in the hidden demon's eyes, he would have bolted faster.

"You want to turn the whole world to ash?" The pink light built around her. "Let's start with you!" Power, long dormant, surged forth and slammed into the Prime Minister's body and throughout the entire building, turning any and all nonhumans to the ash the alien sought to feed on.

Just outside the perimeter of purification, Sesshomaru released the Doctor so he could stand on his own feet. "Wait until the light dies, then retrieve her."

"Who are you? She'll tell me if I ask who Inuyasha's brother is anyway, so just tell me!" he demanded, turning the the demon in a human disguise.

"She will only know me by my first name, Doctor, and it will be no use to you in the future. Hold your tongue, for you know how fragile time truly is," the demon told him firmly. Not waiting for an answer, he disappeared.

Turning back to the building, watching the glow recede, the Doctor frowned. She was far too unstable to accompany him. Even if she would go before her quest was over, it was dangerous to anything not human she could come into contact with.

Sirens began to blare and he walked back inside, finding her where she'd stood previously, passed out on the floor. "The time isn't right for us yet, Kagome." He picked her up and called on the Tardis.

Moaning softly as she woke, her head throbbing, the miko sat up in her bed. She spotted a piece of paper on her desk and plucked it up.

Kagome,

A time traveler never says goodbye, only 'see you later'. So, see you later.
