Welcome to the prologue of my new story, Scars of My Heart. It is a Inuyasha Naruto crossover, and the pairing is Kagome/Gaara. Other characters will be paired together as well, but this story is solely focused on Kagome and Gaara. There are not enough fanfics about them, in my opinion. If you know of any Kagome/Gaara stories that you think is notable, please, let me know. I'm dying for more good Kagome/Gaara stories to read.
I am not advanced very far in the Naruto anime, and I am as far along in the manga as all the other Shonen Jump readers are. So please excuse any and all mishaps you may find.
Now since that has all been said, please enjoy.

Full Summary: (OC, OOC-ish Inuyasha - Naruto Crossover) Kagome gave Inuyasha the jewel and told him to wish Kikyo back. She knew that it was for the best, because she couldn't keep living a double life. Not only because of the stress, but she couldn't pretend to be sick for the rest of her life, she'd run out of illnesses. Upon passing through the well, for what she thought was the final time, she did not notice that it glowed orange instead of it's normal bluish hue. Nearly a year later, she finds a strange red headed boy in the well, who kept weaving in and out of consciousness. But the mysterious thing about him was that he had sand floating around him, and he wouldn't quit mumbling about a betrayal. Questions flooded her mind, like, where did he come from and how did he get in the well? Kagome/Gaara with slight Kagome/Kakashi, along with other pairings which will make themselves evident eventually.

Prologue
--------
Kagome kicked her feet in the river and turned to look up at the silver haired boy standing beside her. "Inuyasha, what will you do, now that it's over?"
Inuyasha glanced down at Kagome, and then turned to look up at the stars. "I really don't know, Kagome. You know that I had promised Kikyo I would go to hell with her, but since she's gone, I can't fulfill that promise. I'm lost right now."
Kagome stilled, and looked up to the stars as well. "You know, Inuyasha, the stars, they're so beautiful tonight. I feel like I could reach out and touch them." Kagome looked back down into the waters, kicking her feet back and forth once more. "I'm going to miss this beautiful night sky."
Startled, Inuyasha looked down at Kagome. "What do you mean, Kagome? You have the completed Shikon no Tama! It didn't send you back to your time when you fused it back together, so that means you can come and visit whenever you want."
Kagome let out a anguished laugh. Standing up, she took the Shikon no Tama from around her neck, and placed it into Inuyasha's right hand. Inuyasha opened his mouth to speak, but Kagome held up her hand to stop him. "I'm giving you the jewel, Inuyasha. I want you to wish Kikyo back, and for the two of you to live happy, together."
Inuyasha couldn't face Kagome anymore. He could feel how bad it was hurting her, to say this to him. "But, what will happen to you, Kagome? I can't stand the thought of not seeing you anymore."
Kagome couldn't hold back the tears any longer. She knew that this was coming. "I imagine that once the wish is made the well will be sealed, and I will no longer be able to travel back and forth between our two times. Do not worry about me, Inuyasha. Even though it hurts, I've come to face reality. I'm no longer needed here. Now you need to understand that this is my way of saying, goodbye."
Inuyasha dropped the Shikon no Tama letting it hit the ground and wrapped his arms around Kagome, pulling her close to him. "I don't want you to go, Kagome. I need you here with me. Please, Kagome, don't leave me."
Kagome cried onto Inuyasha's shoulder, holding onto him tightly. "Inuyasha please, understand. I'm not doing this because I want to leave, I'm doing this because it's right. I want you to be happy. Remember, fifty years ago, you were pinned to a tree by an arrow shot by the love of your life. She thought that you had betrayed her, and you the same. But it was all lies, you were both deceived. Now, Inuyasha, everything is over and you can finally be together, the way that you've always wanted to be. Make the wish, Inuyasha, and bring Kikyo back."
They stood there, holding on to each other for what would seem like hours to others, but what felt like only a few short minutes to them. Kagome was the first to back away, her eyes downcast. "Inuyasha, I love you. And I'm sorry." Kagome tried her best to give Inuyasha a heartfelt smile, but it was no use. She reached into her pocket and pulled out a picture and handed it to him. Inuyasha looked at the picture and smiled. It was a picture of Kagome and him, standing under the god tree. He remembered the day that the picture was taken, because Miroku had tried to take a picture of Sango's butt. Miroku had said that it was merely in case they were ever separated, so he could still see her loveliness, receiving him a good smack up side the head.
"I love you, too, Kagome. Thank you."
Kagome kissed Inuyasha lightly on the cheek, and whispered, "You're Welcome." She knew that thank you was meant for more than the picture, it was for the Shikon no Tama as well.
"Oh, and Inuyasha, you don't have to worry. I'm leaving Sango all the ramen I have with me, just for you." Inuyasha perked up at the sound of ramen, just as Kagome thought he would. ramen had never failed her before, and it didn't this time either.
"You're really leaving me all your ramen, Kagome? Really?"
Kagome shook her head, he's acting like a puppy who was just given a bone. "Yes, Inuyasha, I'm really leaving you all my ramen." Kagome sighed. It was getting time for her to leave, if she didn't then she'd have to stay until morning, and she didn't want to do that. "Inuyasha, I've already told the others goodbye, and now I've told you. I'm going home now, okay?"
Inuyasha's demeanor changed rapidly yet once again. He looked sadly at Kagome, and nodded his head in acceptance. Kagome turned to walk to the well, then she suddenly stopped and turned back around.
"Inuyasha, I can't believe I forgot!"
Inuyasha saw the gleam in her eyes and slowly started backing away. "Forgot what, Kagome?"
Kagome smiled and said, "I forgot this, Inuyasha. And I hope you're happy knowing you don't ever have to worry about me saying it to you again. SIT!"
Kagome didn't even watch Inuyasha crash into the ground, she had already turned back around and took off running for the well. Barely stopping to grab her backpack, which was considerably smaller without all the ramen in it, she jumped into the well, not noticing the orange glow that surrounded her.
--------
Not trying to give anything away, but I know some of you will think that since the well glowed orange, that means Kagome is already in Naruto's world, but she isn't, not yet.
Thank you all for reading, I hope that you enjoyed it and will proceed on to chapter one now. If you did not enjoy it, I am terribly sorry, and if you want to, leave me a review and tell me why. Or flame me, I don't mind. As I always say to myself in my mind, "All good things come with a downside, but you've got to take punches before you can get anywhere, or be anything. It helps you to be a better person."
Happy
Reading Ya'lls!
