Hi again. This is a crossover between La Corda D'Oro and Inuyasha. For those wondering about the Kaliedo Star Crossover, I am indeed continuing it, I just lost the USB containing the second chapter which is the problem. Anyway, enjoy!

Disclaimer: Do not own Inuyasha or La Corda D'Oro.

黒い音楽

Our tale begins in the slightly distant past. A young man dreamed of the western world and crossed the ocean. He was fond of western culture, and especially western music. For the young man, everything was new, and it was a wondrous world.

… And on one such wondrous day… He had an extraordinary encounter.

The thing he encountered in the yard was a very small and mysterious creature. The young man was startled, but…

"Are you hurt?"

He felt pity for the creature and saved it.

"I come from a country called Japan. My dream is to one day start a music school in my country. That's why I'm studying here," so spoke the young man.

"I… owe you my life. I like you!" said the little creature, "That's why… I choose to bless the school that you build!"

It was truly an extraordinary, extraordinary, encounter. The young man returned to his country and fulfilled his dream of building a music school. And so… some time has passed and another encounter awaits just around the corner.

OoO

A young girl moaned as rays of sunlight his her body and her alarm clock ringing in what seemed to be a never-ending cycle. In her sleepy, futile attempts to block out the sound, her arms was thrown over her ears and eyes and she tried to dig herself more into her bed, but alas, it was not to be so as her mother went into the room and pulled the blankets off of her. She groaned.

"Kagome, c'mon darling," admonished her mother, "It's your first day at your new school. I'm sure you don't want to be late."

Kagome groaned and looked at her mother with half opened eyes. "Do I have to…" he mumbled sleepily, words almost slurring together, "Why couldn't I stay at my old one?"

Her mother gave her a look and sat on the end of her bed. "You know why you changed schools. Because of your many escapades in the feudal era, the school transferred you to a different one," her mother said, "Don't worry, it's a better school. It's known well for its music."

Kagome gave her a sour look, now fully awake, "You know I wont ever play again, ma. Why did you mention it?" she said as she sat up and then stretched.

Her mother sighed, "I just thought you might have gotten over it already," shaking her head as she realised where this conversation was going, "Anyway dear, c'mon, get ready for school," she said lightly hitting her leg as she got up, "Breakfast is almost ready, okay."

Kagome nodded as her mother left her room. She got out of bed and went to her closet to get out her new uniform, no longer will she be running around in green when she went to the feudal era. Naraku, her main enemy, had already been defeated, but there were still a few shards missing and seeing as she was the one who broke it, she felt obligated to find it all.

Almost dressed in her, now, black and white uniform, she looked in the mirror and fixed her raven coloured hair, her grey-blue eyes staring back at her. When all the knots were out of her hair, she went to her room and packed the essentials she needed for school. Remembering what her mother said, though, she found her eyes wondering to a small darker corner of her room, and it landed on a dusty, black instrument case.

She shook her head. 'No,' she thought to herself, 'I'm not bringing myself back there.' Hearing her mother call that breakfast was ready, she swung her bag onto her back and ran downstairs. After eating her breakfast, she bid her mother 'bye' and walked out.

When she reached the big long staircase that led to the running world and away from her shrine, her home, someone blocked her path. Seeing twitching dog ears and silver long hair, the girl rolled her eyes.

"Inuyasha," she said, pressing her lips together into a thin line, "It's my first day at a new school, there is no way I'm going back right now."

And as usual, not understanding how this was important, argued back, "Nuh uh, we need to finish that jewel. School can wait. You did that for the past few years," he said with his arms crossed.

"And look what it did, not only do I have to stay back another year because of my attendance, I was also transferred to a new school," she tried to explain, trying to do so without losing her temper. When she saw that he wasn't going to move, "Inuyasha, s—"

She let out a small squeak, not expecting this to happen. Inuyasha had just picked her up and thrown her over his shoulder. "Inuyasha! Put me down!" she yelled, her face going red as she kicked and flailed unable to hit him. She would have yelled the 's' word if she wasn't being lifted. Inuyasha had just found a way to stop her from hitting his face to the dirt.

OoO

"I'm sorry to call you in this early, Mr Kanazawa," said the principal of Seisou Academy.

"Don't worry about it, so what seems to be the problem?" a man said looking bored before the principal. His hair was grey with tints of purple from the hitting sun and it was tied back into a ponytail, his eyes a light brown.

"Well actually…" the principal paused for a bit, "I'd like you to hold off announcing the contestants for a little while."

"Huh?" he looked almost incredulously at the principal, "I thought we were going with those five?" Not to say, the music teacher was only a little bit confused.

"It seems we're waiting for one more," he said, putting his pals together, "One more that can see it."

"Huh? Well, this is… inconvenient," he said letting out a sigh.

"Mr Kanazawa! Please!"

OoO

"Why can't anyone hear my voice!"A little small creature said as it went around both campuses, "Just one more! Oh!"

The little creature flitted about, hearing how the music talked amongst them about the upcoming music competition and how the Gen. Ed. kids heard and saying that the competition wasn't for them.

"That's not true!" The creature said a little desperately, "You're guaranteed a spot if you notice me!" But no one did and they walked on, passing the little creature, "N-nothing! How rude!"

Now Seisou Academy isn't your average school. It was a school divided into two: Music and general. They even had different uniforms for the two of them. The music students stayed out of the general educated kids' way and the Gen. Ed. kids stayed out of their way. It seemed like a different society, like riches and the poor. They stayed out of their way, while the other did the same. It was strange, but it happens all the same.

"Oh no! I can't believe the warning bell's ringing already!" A girl with brown-red hair said as she ran into the school grounds, "Ahh, and why is this school so spread out!" she exclaimed in frustration as she ran past the statue of a fairy.

Running into classroom marked '2-2' she was greeted by her friends. "Hey Kaho!"

"Mornin'…?" she said a little confused to why they were just lounging about and the teacher wasn't there yet.

"Did you run all the way here, Kaho?" said one of them sceptically, "First period is study hall."

"What?" she said as she slouched down by the door, exhausted, "I wasted all that energy…" she mumbled to herself.

"Hay, Kaho! Check this out. This girl here…" her dark haired friend, Yuki, began.

"Hey you don't have to say it like that!" her other friend, Kisa, defended herself.

Yuki sighed and waved her arms around as she explained, "she's going on about fairies, violins and romance."

"You don't know the story about the competition?" Kisa exclaimed, looking horrified at the idea.

"…Competition?" Kahoko questioned as she sat down with them, flicking her brown-red hair back lightly as it got into her eyes.

As soon as she said that, Kisa went into her own world as she imagined a story of romance and started to tell Kahoko about how fairies secretly live at the school and the competition that this school holds every few years and how the fairy was the bridge of romance between rivals.

"I don't know about fairies," Kahoko said as she rubbed the back of her head, "But isn't the competition only for music students, anyway?"

"No," Yuki said, since Kisa was still in her little world of romance and Kahoko looked at her surprised, "It just ends up being that way. The winners end up being internationally famous too."

"Wow, so it is a big deal then."

"What happened anyway? You came to school late," Yuki asked, abruptly changing the subject, "You're never usually late."

"Yeah, I forgot to set my alarm… and that's right," Kahoko said as she moaned in horror, "I didn't finish my English homework last night. Aw, and I hate the teacher too! And to think that people working everyday towards a dream like that competition."

Her friend Yuki just shook her head.

OoO

Kagome climbed back over the well to her own time, her clothes slightly dishevelled. She was not going to miss her first day. Once she managed to get free she had managed to 'sit' Inuyasha a million times before running to the well. But before she had arrived, she had asked Sesshoumaru to especially remember this date so he could stop Inuyasha if he came for her again.

She mumbled under her breath angrily as she stormed down the steps. She was already late as it was, she didn't feel the need to rush to school and waste a lot of energy. On the bottom of the steps, she blinked in surprise to see a black limo waiting. The door opened and revealed to be Sesshoumaru of the future. She stared at him blankly before she went into full fits of laughter at seeing Sesshoumaru in a suit. Sure, she thought of him as a rich man if he made it this far, but she had never imagined him in a suit.

"I'm sorry," she said wiping tears off her face as she grinned at his annoyed features, "So you remembered."

"Of course," he said slightly annoyed, making room for her and gesturing her to come in, "This Sesshoumaru never forgets the promises he makes. So, where to?"

She grinned. "Seisou Academy."

He looked at her surprised, "You're going to quite a prestigious school, especially for those who want to become musicians."

She scowled at the mention at the word musician. "Yes, I know, my ma told me it was quite famous for its musicians."

Sesshoumaru looked at her surprised, surprised at her cold tone towards musicians. "I take it that you don't like them."

She sighed and shook her head, "No, I don't mind them…" she said as she looked out the window, "It's just, every time my ma mentions it, its like she's pushing me towards it. You see," she towards him, a sad smile in place, "I used to play an instrument, but I stopped a few years back."

Sesshoumaru frowned. "Why did you stop?"

She looked out the window again, not showing that tears were close to falling. "For personal reasons," she said in a strangely strained voice. Sesshoumaru didn't push the issue further.

Arriving at the school she grinned at him and bid him bye. Sesshoumaru stopped her before she could make her way to class. "Here," he said handing her a note, "Use this as an excuse. I'm well known in the country, so they would have no doubt heard of me. The note just states that I asked an audience with my adoptive, younger sister before you went to school."

Kagome smiled, "Wow, thank you. Will you be here to pick me up, or will I be making my own way home?"

Sesshoumaru gave her a soft smile, only reserved for her and Rin, "Unfortunately, you have to make your own way back, but I will visit in the weekend. Make sure to warn your mother."

She laughed. "Thank you, again. I will be looking forward to the visit."

Biding 'bye's to each other, Kagome walked into the school, slightly disturbed that is was so spread out and quiet, but it was understandable since everyone was in class. Seeing a sign that pointed towards the office, she made her way there.

OoO

Kahoko cursed as she carried one thing too many towards the music area, her hands growing clammy with so many things in one hand. She cursed her English teacher under her breath, wondering if it was all right for a teacher to use her to her advantage.

"I'm definitely going to be late just getting back from the music building," she mumbled to herself. She blinked as someone pushed past her, making her lose her balance and books, sheets and other stuff fell down stairs before her and she felt her body following after.

She shut her eyes tightly, waiting for the impact, but it never came as she felt something come around her waist, stopping her from falling down the stairs. "Wow, that was close," a male voice said from behind her. Her heart was still pumping from the adrenaline from the close accident.

"Sorry about that," he said, still from behind her, so she couldn't see his face.

'What the heck…?' she thought as she answered him, "I-I… I think… so." Her eyes roamed to the steps that she was sure she could have died from or gotten into a serious accident. Her eyes stopped at a girl who was on the floor rubbing her head from getting hit from the cylindrical poster. The girl looked up at them, her blue-grey eyes blinking in somewhat surprise.

"Oh my God, I'm so sorry!"

OoO

"I'm sorry for making you two help," Kahoko said, feeling a bit guilty.

"Don't worry, it was my bad," the green-haired teen said and Kahoko couldn't help but look to his chest where his tie resided. 'He must be in the same grade.' How ever when she looked at the mysterious girl who had decided to help without saying anything, her tie was not there.

"Uh, where's you're tie?" she asked curiously.

"Huh?" she seemed to be out of it before she followed her gaze down to where her tie should be. She blinked and suddenly cursed, surprising both she and the boy next to her. "Inuyasha might've taken it when I 'sat' him…." She mumbled under her breath, confusing both Kahoko and the guy, but they didn't ask further.

"Uh, my name's Kahoko Hino from class two, year two. And you both?" she asked.

"…Me? I'm Ryotaro," he introduced, "Ryotaro Tsuchiura. I'm in class five." He said with a smile.

The raven-haired girl looked at them before she looked ahead and just stated. "Kagome. Kagome Higurashi."

Kahoko just gave her a smile. If she didn't want to say what grade she was in, who's to push her?

"Hey, we're here," Kahoko said pointing to the door stating '2-A'.

"Hmm," Ryotaro said looking around as students dressed in white uniform whispered amongst themselves wondering why three General Ed. students are in the music campus. "I've never been here before, but I can't believe how different it feels."

"Yeah, you're right. The building itself seems a lot older and… they have different uniforms, so," she said as she glanced back at the whispering students, "We definitely stand out here."

Kagome just shrugged. Having only being in the school for half an hour, it was a surprise that no one realised she was a new student. She didn't hold the same feelings the Gen. Ed. kids had for the Music students, but she did feel a bit out of place amongst the whispering that people give out.

"But I tell you," Ryotaro said as he looked back at the students that were staring, "It doesn't feel good to be treated like such an outsider. The Gen. Ed. School and the music school each have a strong sense of pride. I wonder if it just feels like we aren't part of the school."

"You've got a point."

Kagome, yet again, shrugged. At the moment she felt like an outsider in both schools with how they were talking, like they were quite knowledgeable, which they probably were. She knew nothing of the school. Why it was so spaced or even why they decided that they should have different uniforms even though it was the same school. She would have to ask later if she still was very curious.

"Well… I'm just glad we don't have to wear the same uniform," remarked Ryotaro as they faced the classroom, but not entering it. Kagome briefly wondered if they were just scared to enter the classroom.

"Why?"

"That tie that's all ruffly like a scarf? I wouldn't be caught dead in that." He said with humour behind his voice.

"That's terrible, but I do agree," she said.

"You three," a voice said behind them. Well, behind Kahoko and Ryotaro. Kagome was standing off on the side waiting for the two of them to enter patiently. "Will you move?"

"Eh?" Kahoko said turning to him in surprise, not quite expecting it, even though they really should have since they were blocking the way to inside the classroom.

"You're in my way," he said simply as they quickly moved out of the way to the classroom.

"I'm sorry," Kahoko said.

"Perfect. We were asked to bring some stuff to this class," Ryotaro said, "Do you mind taking it in.

Kagome tilted her head to the side cutely as she pondered on why the blue haired teen looked familiar before a smile lit up in her face as she realised that she did know the person.

"Why can't you take it in yourselves?" he said coldly, "Why should I do it?"

Before he walked into class, and Kagome didn't know why she was possessed to do so. He was apart of a certain time in her past that she wanted to definitely forget. "Len…" she said softly, effectively stopping him since he didn't know he was known among the Gen. Ed. kids and looked at her, before familiarity dawned in his features.

"… Kagome?" She blinked before she realised what she had done and dumped the stuff in his hands and looked at the other two, "It was nice meeting you two," she quickly bowed before running away. Len blinked and looked at the stuff in his hands.

He looked at the other two, and glared. "What class is she in?" his voice cold, not the soft, surprised tone he had spoken upon seeing Kagome.

Kahoko shrugged. "I don't know, she never said," she answered.

He gave them a cold look before entering the classroom. "What the heck? Who was that?" Ryotaro said as they put the stuff away. 'What a jerk,' Kahoko thought as they walked away, 'He was good looking though. I hope I won't ever have to deal with him again.'

OoO

Kahoko sighed as she leaned on the rail as she stared at the cat. 'Oh, they were talking about a contest this morning, weren't they?' she thought to herself, 'I wonder if it's a big deal to the music students. The fairy…' she sighed as she remember Kisa's ramblings, 'I guess that ridiculous statue of a fairy in the school up front sparks those ridiculous rumours.'

She stared at the fat cat, all curled up in the sun's heat. 'Don't they know fairies… don't exist,' she thought. "You're one fat cat," she said to herself despite her thoughts being somewhere else, "I wonder who feeds you?"

"Time! I'm running out of time!"

Kahoko jumped as she heard a voice and she looked about her. 'That was weird, I swore I heard—'

"Soon! I have to be discovered soon! Why doesn't anyone notice me?"

"Huh?" she looked up and her eyes widened.

"Ohh? Ohhh…! You can see me? You can see me right!?"

"What?"

"This is fabulous!"

None of them noticed. No one could see a raven-haired girl who was safely in the shadows staring in wide-eyed shock as she saw the fairy come into view and talk to a frightened Kahoko. She took a step back and ran away to where her classroom was supposed to be. There was no way in hell she would get herself involved with music again.

Hi again and that is that for the first chapter. I am well aware of the fact that a lot was from the manga, but I needed that starting before actually changing it to my plot and a completely different story. Anyways, I hope you like it, and please review. It's nice to know my work is appreciated.
