krystalbabe: (boring monotone) I do not own any of these characters. InuYasha and Yu Yu Hakusho… (normal voice) wish I did though…

"No! No they can't die… let me through!!!" Kagome pleaded, struggling as the fire chief held her firmly in his arms.

"I'm sorry girl, but you can't go in there. The fire is just too strong!"

"It's not a fire! It's a wave of ki!!!!" Kagome screamed, crying as the entire shrine collapsed and the screams of her mother, brother and grandfather filled the air. Kagome broke down sobbing and wailing in spasms of choked deliberation. Her family was gone. The shrine was gone. And so was the Bone Eaters well, she could no longer even visit her friends in the Feudal Era, she could no longer help them on the search for the Shikon Jewel. Her screams of fury and wails of grief filled the air and that was it. Before she knew it, one of the fire chief hit her on the head. Hard.

"Uhh… where am I?" Kagome mumbled as she came back to her senses. She was in a bed. It was so soft… and warm. She drowsed sleepily on the surface of the soft bed until reality hit her sharply. Kagome shot up, startled as she found herself in an elegant room. Tears flowed through her cheeks. Her family… the only family she ever knew were dead.

Well, not entirely.

A man, rather short, with a slicked hair knocked softly on the door, making his presence known to Kagome.

"Father…?"

Yusuke Urameshi blundered into school unwillingly as his closest friend, Keiko, tugged him impatiently along.

"Really Yusuke, I don't know how you manage to keep out of school like, this, you need this. It could really help your future."

Yusuke muttered something incomprehensible behind Keiko's back, causing her to cock her head and stare at him, he growled irritably, "I said, if it'll help me stop Hiei from having his spasms each time he goes near ice cream I'll do it."

Keiko giggled and pulled Yusuke into class.

"Maybe you can figure out a cure for the insatiable appetite of youkai's… You'd be famous then Urameshi!" Kuwabara dropped in, throwing a playful punch on Yusuke.

Yusuke rubbed his arm thoughtfully, "Hm, yeah maybe, or at least stop demons from doing the hula hula." His head shot up as the bell rang. "Great…"

Kagome looked up at her father. It had been 13 years since she last saw him, 13 long years. In fact, she barely even remembered her father. Mikoumi Higurashi never would mention about him. But it still surprised Kagome that her mother did not change back into her maiden name.

"Kagome… are you alright?"

Kagome lifted her head slowly, "They're dead aren't they?"

Shira slowly nodded, "Look, I know this is hard for you to take, but there is nothing you can do to bring them back. You're going to have to live on without them honey. Tomorrow… tomorrow you go to Sarayashki High… okay?"

Kagome stared at him, "You left us… you… left us…" Suddenly her eyes harded… "You left mom heartbroken… then you come back and say here honey, go off to school?" She growled angrily.

Shira gave a look of surprise and started to rise, "Honey…"

"DON'T CALL ME HONEY!"
