A/N: This is a story that has been in my mind for awhile, and I have finally come to the decision that it is time to share this tale.

In order for these two worlds to mesh together coherently, changes had to be made. I thought long and hard about how these two different worlds could come together as one and still make sense. These changes will all eventually unfold and be explained while reading the fic.

A special thanks goes to my glorious beta Fuu43. She is just too awesome for words!

Timeline:

The Slayers takes place two years after Try. Lina is 19.

Inuyasha takes place while Kagome is 17. She is still dividing her life between her present and the past. The group is still after Naraku.

Disclaimer:

I do not own Inuyasha or The Slayers.


The Lesser Kindred

Prologue


Xelloss laid in the arms of his mistress. The demon that gave him life. The being he would serve for eternity. The Beastmaster. Zelas Metalliumelas.

He let her energy course through his body. Savoring the evil that poured through his soul. He would say that it felt wonderful, joyful even; however those are feelings that did not exist in a true demon. A mazoku, the upper kindred.

"Priest," his lady spoke breaking his state of euphoria.

"Mmm. . ." he muttered in response.

"I have a job for you."

"Yes, my master?"

His lady withdrew her power and with it, broke their connection. He sighed.

"What does my lady require?"

"Your friends are going to be going on a trip. Go with them."

Xelloss smiled. It was always interesting with them. This should be fun.
