Sometimes, the Glass just breaks
Illustrious Sorrow
Author's Note: This is an Inuyasha/ Yu Yu Hakusho crossover. It will feature a dead Inuyasha, Kikyo, Sango, and Miroku, and there will be nearly no time spent in the Sengoku Era. It will Feature romance, Ka/Kur, Ka/H, or Ka/Y. I haven't decided yet. If you don't like that most of the Inu characters aren't there, don't read the story, I don't want flames over it.
Chapter 1: When somebody asks you if the glass is half-empty or half-full, you say: The goddamned glass is just going to break anyway, so why bother trying to figure it out?
Kagome lay at the bottom of the well with a now human Shippo asleep in her arms, and a deep arrow would in her shoulder, just above her heart, which bled profusely. The few insignificant cuts that Shippo had retained where quickly healing themselves, it seemed that they small boy had retained is yokai powers despite his human form.
Kagome smiled wearily at her adopted son, remembering the horror at the final battle with Naraku, happy that her son at least, had survived.
**Flashback
Sango and Miroku had died in the battle; Miroku had been swallowed by his wind tunnel just before Naraku had been defeated, never experiencing life without the hole in his hand. Sango too was killed, though she by her brother's hand. Kohaku, after killing his sister, had been granted his memories back and, unable to comprehend the horror of what had been forced to do, plunged his own hand into his chest and pulled the jewel shard he was in possession of out of his body and died instantly.
As she watched her friends die, Kagome unlocked some of her powers as a miko and in a great blast, purified Naraku, killing the thousands of yokai locked in Onigumo's body. She then sent an arrow into the heart of the man who had ruined the lives of so many people. As he died, so did his many forces, all of which had been controlled by Kana, a child born of his flesh, one who died as Naraku was purified.
Calling out in an ethereal voice, Kagome summoned the shards of the Shikon no Tama from where ever they resided. As they glowed above her head, Kagome clasped her hands together, as if reshaping a ball, and when she unclasped her hands, the shards of the jewel, were whole, and pure, shining a brilliant pink.
To Kagome's shock, Inuyasha past her and grabbed the jewel out of the air and held it cupped in his hands. Staring down at it intently, he spoke to it, "I want Kikyo to be alive again." He looked around, surprised when nothing happened.
"You fool, I cannot become alive again while my reincarnation lives!" Kikyo shouted as she notched an arrow in her bow. The arrow are charged with purifying power and Kagome had only enough strength to begin to dodge the shot, having it catch her in the shoulder, just above her heart, where Kikyo had aimed.
Kagome lay still as she listened to Inuyasha and Kikyo speak. "Inuyasha, come with me to hell, Naraku is dead." She stepped up to him and before he could speak, she opened the portal to the world of the damned and as she and Inuyasha sank into the ground, the agonized shrieks of the dead rose around them, until they were gone and the shrieks faded into silence.
Suddenly, a bright light caught Kagome's attention, Shippo stood, bathed in the pink glow of the jewel, and as she watched, he transformed. She watched as he grew taller, his hair more flat and a dark shade of auburn, the fangs and claws fading. Now before her stood a five year old human boy.
"S-Shippo?" "Hai, Kaa-san?" "Wh-what did you wish for?" "I wished to be like you Okaa-san!" "Oh, Shippo." "Will I get to go home with you Kaa- san?" "Of course baby." "Good." Shippo sat down on the floor, "Wake me up when we leave, ok, Kaa-san?" With that, the little boy lay down and went to sleep.
**End Flashback
Kagome wearily hauled herself and her son out of the bone-eaters well, staggering across the yard and into her house. She could tell that she wasn't going to be able to stand much longer, the loss of blood from her shoulder wound getting to her. As she was a miko, she couldn't use her healing powers for herself, only for others, so she was going to have to find someone else to heal her, or do it the slow way with medicine and such.
As she slid the door open to her house, she heard voices in the kitchen. 'Oh crap, Okaa-san has vistors.' "Okaa-san?" She called in a weak voice. "Kagome?" "Help Okaa-san!" As Kagome staggered, her mother came into the hall and managed to keep Kagome and Shippo from hitting the floor to hard.
Kagome felt herself being lifted and clamped her arms around her sleeping son. "Kagome, let go of the boy, we need to get you into bed." "Iie! You can't have him!" She yelled, half delirious. She heard a sigh above her, "Ok Kagome, I won't take him." She was half dragged, half carried down a hallway and then laid in a bed she soon recognized as her own. With a bleary look around, she saw the worried face of her Okaa-san and another strange woman. Bearing her teeth, Kagome growled at the unfamiliar woman, who she now sensed as having a strange sort of power. "You stay away from my son." And then she drifted into sleep, feeling the warmth of her son in her arms.
TO BE CONTINUED.
Ok, hope you liked it. The cross-over will become apparent in the next chapter. It has already begun, but.yeah. Cookies to the person who can guess who the 'strange woman' is. Yup.Well, tell me what you thought! Review!
