Chapter 1

Disclaimer: I own nothing!

NOTE: This is gonna happen after the last episode of InuYasha. Kagome will be 18 or so while Yuki and the rest will be only a year older. Kagome, Yuki and Kyo are all probably the same age, but the boys are oder still. There's a little surprise here as well.

On with the Story!

Hiro and Kisa were taking a soothing stroll down a road that leads to Shigure's house. Things between them were going quite well and Akito hadn't found out about them just yet. Hiro, however, was a little annoyed at the moment. It was obviously not his idea to go there of all places but Kisa had firmly 'requested' it. She wanted to see Tohru again, it's been a while now. The only consolation he had was that he got to be with Kisa. She still barely spoke but when she did, he made sure to listen and to be grateful for that small blessing. This was one of those times,

"Hiro-chan...thank you for coming with me." she said shyly. Hiro blushed and looked away and replied in a gruff voice,

"It's no big deal, you know." Hiro didn't notice that they were walking straight into a green light. Both didn't notice until they heard honking cars, in fact one was heading straight for them. Hiro did the only thing he could do and shielded Kisa's body with his. The two waited for the deadly impact but instead of a car's weight, they felt wind brush their faces. It seemed that they were hit and were pummeling straight towards a brick wall. They heard a crash and the wheels of the car were screeching loudly...but, Hiro and Kisa didn't feel anything connected to being hit. There were gasps and shrieking all around them which was kind of confusing. Both of the Sohma's expected to be dead but the panicking noises around them seemed to deny it. Someone had yelled for an ambulance before everything was tuned out.

Both were completely unconscious...

With Hiro...

Hiro was the first to open his eyes. He was rather confused to find himself in a traditional-looking room. Then something shifted on his right. Tohru was dipping a wet towel in a basin before squeezing out the excess water. When he groaned at the slight headache, the girl's attention turned to him and on her face was a huge smile of relief,

"You're finally awake. I left some food on the side table, it's still hot so eat up. I have to tell Shigure-san that you're ok."

The boy had wanted to ask what happened but Tohru was already out the door. This is why he doesn't like her that much...she barely listens when he wants her to...

Outside in the hall...

"Shigure-san, Hiro-kun is conscious." reported Tohru dutifully. The tall man nodded as he looked absently on the floor. Yuki appeared behind them. Yuki spoke,

"What do you make of it, Shigure-san?" There was no immediate reply, instead, the silent writer strode to another room and opened it silently. The other two followed him as he went inside. None of them said a word as they all sat around a sleeping person.

Black hair flared on the pillow and a still body lay on the mattress. They could only tell that she was alive with the steady movement of her chest.

Shigure sighed slightly and looked at the girl. He, Hatori and Ayame had been on their way to his house. It was Yuki's monthly check-up when they heard a commotion and someone calling for a doctor. Hatori had announced himself to be one and the crowd stepped aside. The three of them gaped slightly at the picture. Two of their family members were on the ground protected by another woman...Actually, girl, she wasn't even a woman yet. A car had hit a post and the driver was all right except for some minor injuries. He was on his knees crying in guilt. He thought he had just killed three people.

Then an ambulance came. It was from the same hospital, Hatori had told them to go to straight to Shigure's house, gave directions and assured them that he would take care of everything there. Thankfully, none of them asked further questions and just obeyed. The girl was put on a stretcher by medics while Kisa and Hiro were carried by Ayame and Shigure onto their own stretchers, making sure that no one would touch them accidentally and reveal the Sohma curse. Even after the past year or so, Tohru wasn't able to break the curse just yet.

When they had arrived at Shigure's home, Tohru was there to greet them and was a bit shocked to see a whole medical team take out three stretchers from the back. Yuki also came out and had the same reaction as Tohru's. Kyo wasn't around yet so no need to worry about him. Then there was a sudden announcement on the radio in the vehicle, there was a fire a little ways of from where they were and the one on the speaker had requested help to come soon. The medical team had packed up leaving the patients to the care of the Sohma's and Tohru. Hatori however, was also on duty so he was forced to go with the ambulance.

He gave instructions to Yuki and Tohru seeing as they were more reliable than the other two before leaving. Ayame went to buy bandages while Shigure took care of the three with Yuki and Tohru assisting him. Even if they were unreliable at times doesn't mean that they are all the time.

"Shigure-san, may I ask what happened?" inquired Yuki as he eyed the girl on the mattress. They listened as Shigure explained everything. Tohru was agape and Yuki was purely speechless. The black-haired girl on the mattress had not only saved Kisa and Hiro but also engaging full contact but Hiro didn't change. The curse hasn't left him yet, Tohru proved it when she accidentally touched him. He had turned into a sheep before turning back into a human. So...what was wrong?

Yuki stared at the girl. She was about their age and there was nothing very special about her...Wait, what's this blue light surrounding her? Everyone in the room gasped and backed away. The light grew brighter and brighter before disappearing as if it were never there. As it faded, the girl was already in a sitting position as she examined her surroundings. She looked like she didn't even go through getting hit by a car and hitting a wall.

"W-Where am I?" she rasped out. Her voice was a little rusty from lack of use. Before anyone could respond, Kyo had announced his return and Shigure knocked himself out of his daze and said,

"Tohru, come with me, we have to explain to Kyo before he does something rash. Yuki, look after her for a while, would you?" The dog didn't wait for a reply and went out the door, the brown-haired girl followed suit.

Yuki stared after them, looking helpless. He sighed, 'Why does this happen to me?' A pained moan diverted his attention back to the girl...She seemed to have a slight headache. 'But I guess you couldn't avoid it when you're in a situation like this.' mused the boy.

"Um...you still haven't answered my question. And who are you...exactly?" Yuki offered a reassuring smile,

"You're in an estate that belongs to Shigure Sohma. He was the one that you saw earlier. The girl who was also here was Tohru Honda. I'm Yuki and also a member of the Sohma clan. First of all, I would like to thank you for saving Kisa and Hiro earlier though it is a miracle that you are even alive." Yuki watched as she tried to process everything.

"Ah! You mean those children that were almost run over? How are they?" she asked with sincerity. Yuki's mouth slightly parted in surprise. It seems that this girl cares more for others than herself. A very rare trait that he has only ever seen in Tohru. Nonetheless, he smiled,

"One is already awake and the other is still resting." The girl sat back down and let a sigh of relief escape her lips,

"Thank goodness..." The gray-haired boy then asked in a polite tone,

"May I know your name?" Kagome seemed to miss one of his accidentally dazzling smiles and instead just smiled back,

"Sorry 'bout that. I'm Kagome, Higurashi Kagome." After saying that, the door to the room opened revealing a small boy at the door.

Hiro already had Shigure explain what happened. He was really grateful that Kisa didn't get injured so he decided to thank their savior personally.

"Um, t-thank you...for saving us..." he stated shyly. A mean blush was on his cheeks. This was the only time he had to thank somebody for something. When Kagome smiled, Hiro blushed even more.

"You're Hiro-kun, right?" The boy nodded. Yuki was staring at the interaction between the two, Hiro had never blushed unless around Kisa nor did the boy show any signs of gratitude for anyone.

"Well, Hiro-kun, I'm glad to see that you're fine." Hiro looked at her,

"Um..H-How about you?" Kagome's smile became warmer and replied,

"I'm fine for the most part but my legs are a little bit stiff." He nodded before saying something about checking on Kisa and he left. Kagome turned to Yuki,

"He's such a cute little child. I wish Naoki will grow up to be a little like him." Yuki noticed a slight pain in her blue eyes at the mention of that name. He tilted his head a little bit,

"'Naoki'?" Kagome nodded and smiled sadly,

"My son."

TBC...

Author's Note:

Gomen to everyone for not updating for so long. Even I'm stressed out about it. Well, to keep my imagination running, I've decided to start on a new fanfic before going back to the old ones. Don't worry, I won't stop, I just need to collect my thoughts and turn it into something worthy to write and worthy to read.

I'm currently working on a new chapter for "Alternate Tournament" to start ending it. Maybe it'll have a sequel, who knows? :) I've tried to start planning the new chapter for "New Life, New Adventure" as well as "Moving On" and "Obliviously Wanted".

I'm also trying to see if I can do a MAR Heaven/Inu Yasha crossover and a Rurouni Kenshin/Inu Yasha, too. It might be fun. Gomen for the trouble. Any way, still hope you enjoy. Tell me what you all think about this one and I'll see if I can continue. If not, I'll just delete it and start over.

As always, read and review! Forgive the errors as well. ^-^
