Disclaimer: I don't own Bleach or Inuyasha. A/N: this one of my older ones-date: 7-9-2007. So…yup it's really old.

"Ichigo, there's a report of Hollow," Rukia said, poking him on the arm. Looking annoyed, he glanced at her," where at?" he asked. "Near the Higurashi shrine, about a mile away," she answered. "Fine then I'll see you later!" Ichigo said, running off. "Ichigo, wait!" Rukia called out, "damn him!" Frowning slightly, she thought, 'there's something strange about that Hollow…its energy is totally different than the others.'

Ichigo transformed into a Soulreaper as soon as he was out of sight of the school. After giving instructions to Kon for him to go straight home. Ichigo headed toward the shrine, running up the stairs he finally reached the top. He paused, concentrating on any spiritual pressure in the near vicinity. "There you are," he muttered, running toward a small building at the edge of the property. As he passed an ancient tree he got the feeling it was watching him.

Entering the shrine, he frowned there was no one around and no Hollows. Thinking Rukia's Soulpager was screwing up he turned around to leave. But something stopped him…a pulsating energy seemed to be coming from the old well. Walking down the steps, he looked in, "hm…nothing." Ichigo glanced around making sure Rukia hadn't followed him, then he jumped into the well. Instead of hitting bottom he descended slowly, Ichigo landed on his feet. Looking up he could see a clear blue sky and he could hear birds singing.

Climbing up the side of the well, he cautiously crept out. "Where am I?" he muttered to no one in particular. Suddenly a giant whump came from the woods behind him. Reaching for his Zanpaku-to, he tensed ready for battle. A girl with lustrous black hair hanging down her back walked into sight. She was wearing a high-school uniform and appeared to not notice him until he was only a few feet away.

Kagome was startled. A young man with short spiky orange hair and wearing a black kimono and hakama pants, stood in front of the bone eaters well. A large sword scabbard hung over his shoulder. "Who are y-you?" Kagome's voice quavered. "My name is Ichigo Kurosaki, I'm a Soulreaper. What's your name?" he asked. "Er…Kagome Higurashi…um I guess I'm what you'd call the reincarnation of a priestess," she answered.

Silence reigned then a crackling sound came from the distance, Ichigo sensed the energy of a Hollow. Running forward he pinned Kagome to the ground. Just as a crackly ball of demonic energy struck where she had just been standing. Pulling Kagome to her feet, he asked her if she was alright. "Yes, thank you, Ichigo," she replied. "Okay stay behind me, I'll slay this thing…whatever it is," he told her. The thought crossed his mind, 'how can she see me? And just why do I feel so strongly about protecting her?'

The thing looked like a giant snake, flicking its tail at him it hissed," give me the jewel shard and the wench!" "Not a chance," he muttered pulling out his Zanpaku-to. Ichigo swung his sword at the snake slicing the tip of its tail off. A sudden yell of "Kagome!!" caught him off guard. Turning around he saw a young boy with long silver hair come jumping over the trees. Landing near Ichigo, Inuyasha went running to Kagome. "Kagome, are you alright?!" Inuyasha asked. "Yeah," she blushed faintly,"thanks to Ichigo," she replied. Somewhat forgetting about seeing Kikyo and Inuyasha together, she huddled behind him.

"What is that fool think he's doing!?" muttered Inuyasha irritably as he watched Ichigo attempt to slay the demon like a Hollow. Drawing Tetsusaiga out, Inuyasha yelled,"move outta the way!!" Ichigo heard as he saw the boy wielding a sword as large as his come running forward. "Ahhh!," jumping out of the way, Ichigo watched Inuyasha destroy the snake with his Windscar.

Running over to Kagome, Ichigo gripped her by the shoulders, Inuyasha turned. "Hey what're you doing to Kagome?!" Kagome ignored aforesaid half-demon and said to Ichigo, "come on, I'll show you around and then you can tell me your story." Smiling up at him, she clasped his hand and led him towards Kaede's village.

As they neared the village, Miroku and Sango came into view, "who's this Kagome?" Sango asked her. Kagome replied," Ichigo Kurosaki, he's a Soulreaper." "Oh I see," Sango and Miroku exchanged a look. "See you later, Kagome, have a nice time with your friend," Miroku said putting extra emphasis "friend". When Kagome and Ichigo went into Kaede's hut, Miroku said to Sango, "do you think Kagome's using that guy to make Inuyasha jealous?" "Maybe. Because of what happened earlier," Sango whispered. Inuyasha walked up looking grumpy like usual, "where's Kagome?" he asked. "Uh…she's in Kaede's hut…with her friend," Sango said hurriedly.

Inuyasha's scowl deepened, he started to walk back the way he had come. Miroku and Sango loked at each other and then went to go rest under a tree. If nothing but the fact that they had traveled a long time with Inuyasha and the experience gained was that if Kagome and Inuyasha fought-to just stay out of it. Inuyasha snuck back to Kaede's hut, listening to the conversation coming from inside.

After Kagome had finished questioning him, Ichigo relaxed listening her talk to Kaede. He gazed at her quite often thinking about how pretty she was. Kagome herself, blushed when she realized Ichigo was looking at her. Kaede noticed this and with a mischievous gleam in her eye, suggested they go take another walk around the village. Kagome agreed. Standing up, Ichigo extended his hand to Kagome helping her up. He didn't let go of her hand as they walked out.

Inuyasha glared at Ichigo from his hiding place. Sango leaning against Miroku, saw Ichigo and Kagome walk by holding hands. Miroku muttered, "there goes Inuyasha." Sure enough a fast shadow followed behind Kagome.

Nearing the bone eaters well, Kagome said to Ichigo," you should…go back now." Glancing at the well, he replied, "you're right. Rukia's going to be furious." Clutching her hands in true Kogaesque style, though he didn't know it, Ichigo was about to say goodbye when Inuyasha came flying out from behind a rock. Slugging Ichigo in the face, Inuyasha yelled, "stop getting fresh with Kagome!" Ichigo fell down the well, hitting bottom he looked up. A wooden roof was above him, climbing out, Rukia accosted him," where were you?! Inside the well?!" "Rukia, shut up. I don't want to talk about it now!" Stalking out grumpily, Ichigo wondered if he'd dreamed it all.

On the other side of the well.

"Why did you do that to Ichigo, Inuyasha?" Kagome demanded to know. "Hmph," Inuyasha ignored her by walking away. Frustrated with him, Kagome took one last look in the well before turning and following him.

A/N:yaawwnn, well that's part one. There's supposed to be regular chapters after this...er not for a while though. Hope you liked it considering this was my first Bleach fic ever and it was a crossover at that! Please review.
