A/N: Okay, I know I took down my other two stories and I'm sorry , to those of you who read them. But since only a few ever really did then I will wait for later to post them again. Besides I was stuck on how to go foward with them and no one was giving me any ideas. This a Bleach and Inu yasha crossover, with Ichigo's dad being Kagome's mother's brother, if that made any sense, if not tell me. I have no idea what will happen in this story I just grabbed an idea and ran with it, unlike my other two stories which I had tried to plan out and didn't go so well. I'll explain what is majorly happening in this story in this first chapter and go into details in the next chapter. If I ask for help please help me, I help the authors who ask reviewer's for help why won't you guys help me! pouts Its not fair damnit! (sorry for the swearing, if it offendeds you, well to FUCKING bad! HAH!) Sorry, had a crazy moment there, well I guess I better let you guys alone, a whole paragraph worth of me must get anoying.

Ja Ne,

P.S. - "talking" , 'thoughts', and telepathy ----Kaggy, Shippo, others, and Sessh have telepathy because... You have to read to find out! ;) -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-Summary- I'm Ichigo Kurosaki, 17, and this is my cousin Kagome Higurashi, 19. We are more alike then we ever thought, contradictions to ourselves.We both carry pain in our hearts, scars that will be there for ever. I call these Hollows because they'll never leave and the will never stop coming. As she is starting to merge into my world I am into hers and the simularities are astounding. We're helping each other to get through our pain, the hollows of our pasts and of our futures. We're as much of best friends now as we were back in our childhood, and I hope that will never change.

Prologue

Kagome sighed as she and her son made their way throught the train station to find her uncle, he and his family owned a clinic in a town about an hour away from the shrine in which she had lived in for most of her life. At least up until her fifteenth birthday when most of her life began to revolve around a sacred jewel that was ripped from her hip. She carried her precious little son, Shippo, in her arms, he had been able to come with her when her journey had drawn to a close. It had been about three weeks since the final battle, since they had beaten Naraku into nothing but dust on the wind, she was now ninteen and had barely made it through highschool with all the time she missed, but she had done it.

During all of that she had figured out how she really felt for the hanyou that was so close to her heart, he was like her brother. In the end both he and Sesshomaru adopted her with a demon ritual as their sister, with that she became a full inu youkai and was able to adopt Shippo as her own son. She had been one of the best fighters on their side with their many allies, they had won but barely. The battle had been long and bloody, friends and allies had died and many wounded, in the end though it came to just Naraku and herself. Her purity and the pain that she held for all of those his evil had touched helped her win.

Though Inu Yasha had loved her, albiet like a sister, he still decided to go to hell with Kikyo. Though this action gave her back the rest of her soul she was still crushed that her brother decide to die instead of live in order to see her in her time. The wish she made was for everyone that she had met have the happiness that they deserved, unknown to her, her friends, Sango and Miroku, wanted to be alive to see her, thus were given the life span of demons to be able to see her again. They had found her after five hundred years and though it was a heart felt reunion, they had jobs to do and she needed a long break from life for a while. Thus here she was, sitting on a bench out in front the train station, if she gained anything from being around and becoming related to Inu Yasha then it was little patience for waiting for people to hurry their asses up... And the swearing, she had learned how to keep to a minimum though, she mostly did it in her head now a days unless she was beyond being polite.

"Hey, who's the runt?" her head snapped to the side at that comment towards her son, a snarl planted firmly in place, that is until she saw who said it. "Hey Ichi, long time no see, ne?" Kagome answered easily standing at the sight of him and her uncle who was trying to lift her bag, while one held clothes in it so as to not look suspicious, the back pack that was slung across her back carried weapons, fighting kimonos, and anything else she would need, for you see this bag had a spell on it, it could carry anything and everything she put into it with out getting heavy or running out of room. She would be living with her cousins and uncle for a long while, she had just had to get away from the life she had led the past four years.

She was now a battle worn warrior, she knew how to kill, to fight, everything, death was not knew to her. Neither were ghosts for that matter, she had been able to see them since she was four and could see hollows after she saw her father die. She wondered if Ichigo could sense the ghost hovering around him, it just kinda watched him, waiting it seemed. Her eyebrow raised lightly as she watched him give a glance to the ghost and shake his head muttering later beneath the hearing range of normal humans so that the ghost would come back when he was less busy. She sighed it looked like life wouldn't be normal here either, oh well she didn't think she could settle for normal anyways, she would have gotten fidgity.

She smiled at her cousin, coming out of her thoughts," Ichigo, meet my adopted son, Shippo, I saved him from his parents murderers." Ichigo raised an eyebrow at this but didn't say anything, His cousin was always like that, infact that was how they had gotten her cat buyou, he shook his head a smile on his face, she was the only other person in their family besides Karin that had as large as spirit energy as him, in fact, she had about the same amount as him, if not more. She had been able to see, hear, touch, talk and even purify ghosts since she was four. Her father had died in a car accident wehn she was nine, she had been in the car as well. He remembered that he, Karin, Pop, and Yuzu had to come stay with his aunt for a couple months. Kagome had seen how her father died, It hadn't been a pretty site from what he was told. She was two years older than him, and she had seen her father beheaded from glass and loose shrapnel that had been thrown places during the crash. She had been the only survivor of the accident, yet she never allowed herself to become sad about it. He respected her for it and he tried to be like her, protect what family that was left. Kagome was a strong girl and had done all she could since her fathers death, though he suspected that, that may have been cause for the many illnesses she had been experiencing for the past four years.

Looking at her though, no one would think she had ever been sick at all, in fact he didn't believe in them, at all. She had a healthy glow about her and she appeared as though she had been through rigorous training for her muscles were lean and compact, he held no doubt in his mind that she was even more powerful than when they were kids. He smiled to the boy resting in her arms as they made their way to the car, his red hair and tan skin suggested many hours in the sun, as did his mothers. He wondered when they had the time to be in the sun . Not to mention he looked stronger than your average child, Shippo shifted and sighed getting comfortable in his suragate mothers arms, a smile playing a his lips.

As they drove towards the clinic and her families home, she sighed, life might not be exactly normal here, but hopefully it won't be as nerve wreacking as her previous adventure had been. Getting to the Kurosaki clinic only took half an hour, but Kagome was still ready to drop. She hadn't been sleeping well the past couple of weeks, nightmares of the last battle, pain from Inu Yasha's decision to go to hell, and all of the emotional stress that had been building up. And now that she was away from where some of the painful memories of Inu Yasha and her adventures stemmed, her exaustion was appearent. She would probably go to her appointed room and fall face first into the bed, Shippo beside her, for he seemed just as tired.

Ichigo could see how tired she was and feel how stressed her aura was, he'd have to convince dad to leave them alone. 'She must have really needed to get away from the shrine' he thought. As soon as they got there, Kagome grabbed her back pack and left to say hello to Karin and Yuzu, leaving the two of them to grab her suitcase. As soon as he picked it up he sweat dropped and realised it wasn't that heavy at all, "Wow dad, you must be getting old if you couldn't lift this without trouble." His dad had an indignant look about his face and tried to hit Ichigo, but his reflexes had grown even faster since he had become a shinigami. " Hah, I'm getting even faster, but then again, exorcising hollows would do that to you wouldn't it?" Ichigo chuckled under his breath, finding out that his father was a soulreaper was a blessing and lifted the burden of keeping it from his family.

His father had been slightly surprised that he had been doing all of that behind his back. Where as Yuzu and Karin had wondered why Ichigo had acted weird sometimes that was now explained as Kon had taken over while he was off purifying, releasing, hollows. "Hey, dad leave Kagome alone for a while, she seems tired so don't be all dorky and wake her up for something stupid, let alone wake her like you do me," Ichigo stated looking at his older cousin, she used to be so innocent and happy, now she was tired and weary. His father looked at him then her, them both watching after her as she went to her determined room for her stay. The boy was defensive of his family that was for sure, and he had grown a lot over the years. Being seventeen now he was still a shinigami and took orders from the soul society for the hollows in the town, but Rukia and his friends helped him with it as much as they could and wanted to, he was strong so the normal hollows were easy. As much as he wanted to deny it his son was growing up, in fact all of his children were.

Sighing again, Ichigo went and ate dinner, it being peaceful for once so as to not wake Kagome or her son. School would be very trying, Kagome was going to be the martial arts and archery teacher, he could hear Ishida now, griping about how an untrainned priestess would be the new archery teacher, and Ichigo's cousin at that. This was going to be an enormous headache he could hear it now," Ichigo, how is it that your sickly cousin is the one that is going to be teaching both martial arts and archery, wont she tire out quickly, why couldn't they ask me, a straight A student who excelled in archery teach it? I wouldn't have minded." Is what her could hear Ishida saying, the others would be checking her out, asking how the hell he was related to a babe like that. Yep, this was going to be an enormous headache that was for sure.
