Prologue
To lose one life...but gain another.
She couldn't believe it.
'After getting so far, training so hard and chasing after him for so long...we lost.'
Tears fell to the dirt road she had been walking on for the last past thirty or so minutes.
'To make it worse...'
"I'm lost..."
-Sigh-
"How could I have let this happen?" People that she happened to pass on the road stared at her in confusion.
'Probably don't even speak Japanese.'
"Just my luck." She glanced around and kicked a stone in front of her, accidently hitting a child in the leg.
"Ah, I'm so sorry." She rushed forward and the child fell back in surprise, tears in her eyes. So involved in what she was doing Kagome never noticed the villagers gathering around with sharp objects and those coming towards the village on horses.
The villagers started to shout at her in some unknown language which, for her sanity, she ignored. Placing a hand gently on the frightened girl s the ones on the horses arrived, she released some of her healing energy into the child and they stared in surprise as the scrape from the rock started to heal. When she finished there wasn't even a mark left.
Kagome stood up and smiled at the girl who had stopped crying.
'...Shippou...'
Tears started forming in her eyes at the thought of her son being back with the others without her.
The girl said something to her but again, she didn't understand her.
"I don't understand dear." The girl frowned but then took her finger and drew in the dirt two eyes and another line that made up a smiley face.
"Smile? I will, such a sweet girl. I must be on my way now, goodbye." She stood and made her way past a few horses...
"Horses?!" She turned and saw four.
"Hey, you speak Japanese."
"Last I checked..." She looked to the one who spoke to her. He had black short and slightly messy hair. His eyes were black as well, a typical Japanese school boy in her opinion.
"Who are you?" He asked.
"Isn't it customary to give ones name first? Well, it doesn't matter really. The results in the end are the same. My name is Higurashi, Kagome Higurashi. Who might you be?"
"Shibuya, Yuuri Shibuya."
"Shibuya? Is your mothers name Miko?"
She asked in curiosity.
"Y-yes, how do you know her?"
"My mom is apparently a friend of hers. When her son went missing...three years ago," 'A few weeks after the first time I did actually.' "My mother decided we should head over to your house and comfort her. I was a little skeptic though. I thought you might have run away from her. After what she put me through, I figured you'd have to be insane not to runaway."
"Why?"
"Your mother decided that I would make for a perfect replacement doll and started to dress me in dresses, pink dresses to be exact. I pity your life growing up with that kind of mother. That had to have been the most horrifying moment of my life, which is bad since I have been through a lot of shit since then. If you'll excuse me." She turned and continued walking down the endless road.
"Wait, if your from Japan then your going to need a place to stay. I'm the only one here who can speak Japanese, aside from Ken, Conrad and Gunter; but that's it. Also, you will need money, unless you think you can survive without it."
"I have survived quite fine with my hunting skills alone. I'm capable of taking care of myself and...Your boyfriend doesn't seem to enjoy you talking in another language that he can't understand. I think he's jealous." She continued walking only this time with a smirk, as she passed by she whispered to the blonde on the white horse.
"Don't worry, I have no intention of stealing your...boy toy." The brunette next to her stared in shock and the one with silver hair stifled a laugh at the blondes confused look. He said something and though she couldn't speak the language, she was willing to bet her life that he said something along the lines of... "What? What's so funny? What did she say?" but then, what did she know.
She heard them start talking in the strange language again and listened as the voices got further and further away.
She hadn't gotten far when she realized they were following her.
"Yes?" She asked, not looking behind her or stopping in her stride.
"Please, your mom is my mom's friend and I'm pretty sure that your mom must be worrying over you like mine was."
"My mother is used to my long trips away from home. She has been for two years now. She won't start to worry for another two or three months, and even then, she should be fine."
"What do you mean?"
"...nothing."
"Please, we all want you to stay with us." She stopped so unexpectedly and turned only to come face to face with the white horse of the blonde who had to pull the reigns quickly to avoid trampling her. She took a small step back and pat the horse gently on the head.
She glanced at the other men and only the blonde seemed to be against her coming.
"Not every one, Shibuya. Baka Mazoku here doesn't seem to be all too thrilled about the idea."
"Eh, hehe, please my dear, pay no mind to him. His Majesty wishes for you to accompany us to the castle, so please come."
She wasn't sure when but the silver haired man had managed to get off his horse and between her and the pretty white horse within the time span of just a few seconds.
"Uh, I gu—"
"Please, don't deny him his request."
"I wasn't go—"
"Please, don't say no."
"FINE!!!"
"I have persuaded her your majesty, isn't that just wonderful."
Kagome raised a brow and was taken by surprise when the white horse nudged her in her arm. Yuuri said something to the blonde and after a snappy reply on his part she watched him jump off and place his hands on her waist before lifting her onto the horse. She blushed before jumping back off and watching the blonde clench his fists.
"What does he think he's doing?" She asked in annoyance.
"Taking you on his horse to the castle since the horse has taken a liking to you." The brunette answered for her.
"I was going to run."
"You're a human, you would go to slow."
"For Demon's you sure are stupid. I was a human; however, I was adopted into the royal Inu Taiyoukai family of the Crescent Moon Palace. I am an Inu Demonness now. I just concealed my form so that I wouldn't alarm anyone." She closed her eyes and her body glowed, her black raven hair lengthened past her back and to her knees, her eyes a steal blue changed to a silvery blue and her ears turned elfish while her nails elongated. Her form filled out a bit and she got a little taller but what caught their eyes the most was her new black tail that was hanging over her shoulder, falling fluidly to her hands.
"Wah—" The one with silver hair ran up to her and started to play with her hair.
"You must be a Demon from the original clans, to still have a tail; I have never seen one, they all look human, aside from the godly looks that is." He said to her before taking her tail and causing her to stumble slightly.
"Gunter!" Yuuri shouted.
"Huh, oh, forgive me Lady Taiyoukai." She raised her brow at the name but let it go.
"Are you sure you can keep up?" Yuuri asked her.
"Shibuya, I'd be more surprised if you could." His eyes widened slightly when she took off towards Demon Country.
The others took off too, the blonde jumping back onto his horse and taking off after them. By the time they arrived she was sitting out of reach of the guards, smirking as she laid atop the stone wall, her tail swinging back and forth, teasing them as they tried to take hold of it. The sight caused them to all laugh, including the blonde who tried to cover it with a cough.
"Let her pass, she is with us."
"Your Majesty! Yes, of course, please forgive us." Yuuri nodded and entered the gates once they were opened. She walked along next to them and had hid most of her features now that they were in the village. Her eyes, figure, height and hair all stayed the same, but for her sanity, she hid the tail, ears and claws.
'Don't want anyone using my tail as a plaything.'
"Welcome back papa."
"How was the ride Shibuya."
She glanced up and saw another boy with black hair and black eyes. Though his hair was a little more wilder then Yuuri's and a bit longer too. He had glasses in a spuarish/rectanglish shape.
"...Onii-San?" The boy looked up and his eyes widened.
"Kagome?!" He walked up to her and looked her over.
"Yep, it's me."
"What are you doing here. Has your mother found out about these trips too?"
"Not exactly..."
He sighed and noticed the odd looks he was getting.
"Murata, you know Kagome?"
"Yeah, she's my step-sister. Not blood related, but still, she's family. I wasn't aware she could also travel here like—" He was cut off by a hand and looked at his sister in confusion but nodded in understanding.
"Hey, is there anyway I can speak their language?"
"Gunter hasn't helped you yet?" Gunter seemed to have just realized and jumped from his horse and placed his hand on her head. A gentle glow surrounded her and ended quickly enough. She let a small sigh and turned to the blonde.
"Since it would seem that only you couldn't understand me earlier allow me to introduce myself. My name is Kagome Higurashi, Princess of the Crescent Moon Palace."

Me: I think I may have rushed into this one. I hope not. She will have her flashbacks in the next chapter. I wanted to try this crossover out since I love this series and I FINALLY got the ENTIRE COMPLETE Kyou Kara Maoh! DVD BOX SET LIMITED EDITION! Which actually isn't a box but, it's a case that opens up like a book and the CD's are like pages. I'm so very happy.
