Hey, this is my first story and I must admit, crossover between OHSHC and Inuyasha is pretty exciting.
I'll leave the paring to you guys, so please vote and enjoy the story...


It was one of those days. The days where he would find me seated before the grand windows of my chamber, with the most perfect posture, hands folded neatly on my lap and a solemn expression adorning my face. Those days happened quite often.
The maids and servants of the house would panic in futile horror of my whereabouts. Jaken would waddle around with his tiny, green, toad feet as he stomped his staff to regain peace in the mansion. Their emotions would clash against my little barrier, begging to let itself into my short-term solitude. It won't be long till he would come out of his study and head straight towards me. He knew where I was. He knew I wasn't missing…just lost in my past; trapped in darkness not knowing of how to escape. I was my own cage. Ironic, no? I became the Shikon jewel itself.

After the jewel had been completed, Naraku defeated, no one expected the sudden betrayal of Inuyasha. Nor the fact that Sango was his accomplice. Yet, I knew. I knew of their little affair. I knew they would turn on us, demand for the jewel and wish upon a selfish wish. Didn't anyone know? A wish, no matter how good-natured, is selfish in its own way. Wishing for my friends' happiness was selfish. What about the happiness of others who were affected? What about those who were truly in need? Disappearance of the jewel was long out of reach. It was my own burden to shoulder. And to add to that, Inuyasha became my worst burden. His death was on my hands. And then Sango. It was then darkness consoled me. I chose to drown in my own pain and never forget that day, to keep as a reminder that never again will I be betrayed.

Only when his aura flared out, seeping through the small corners and into my room, shattering my barrier in seconds, was I snapped out of my sentimental stupor. I didn't wait long for him to enter, closing the door shut and creating a stronger barrier than mine, leaving us to our privacy.

"Why do you torture yourself." Like always, whatever he said was a statement, not a question.

"You know my reasons."

"You are a fool."

"Indeed." There were no pauses between our replies. I was accustomed to this routine. It was always the same. He would go back on his words of never repeating himself, and ask me the same questions every day in search of maybe, just maybe, I answer differently.

"You shouldn't worry too much." I said as I stood up to face him. Sesshomaru was perfect as ever. In times like this, would he strip away his stoic front and show me what he really felt. His golden orbs reflected emotions that did not match his cold public persona.

"This Sesshomaru will find you your light."

"There is no light. As the Shikon-Miko, I was born to be alone."

"Hn…You dare contradict this Sesshomaru? This Sesshomaru is never wrong, Kagome." I could feel the light smile form itself onto my lips. In quick three strides, he was standing before me, breaths apart. He laid his callous hand on my cheek, softly caressing my skin as if to comfort me.

"Come on, your new school awaits you." Feet pivoted, Sesshomaru left, disabling the barrier.

Ouran Academy, a school for the rich who have way too much time in their hands. But apart from that, it was a good elite school. No matter how many times I have graduated from high-school and college, to prevent suspicion, I have been enrolled again. Today was just any other tour.

Upon arrival, it was clear enough the school had ended for the day. The chairman of the academy was waiting patiently before the accurately designed gates. He was clad in a crisp white suit, no crease in sight, his hands clasped behind and an expression of hard seriousness. But when he saw us, he broke out into a crooked smile, almost forced even. Either he wasn't a natural happy-happy guy like Sesshomaru, or he was intimidated by Sesshomaru's demanding presence and status. Everyone else was. In the centuries humans begin to over populate, Sesshomaru made sure to never let his power erase from the face of the earth. To say the least, he was still the powerful demon he was as before, if not more. And in time, he became the most influential man in the world (and the richest). Dealing with him was dealing with the devil himself.

"Taisho-sama, it is an honour to meet you." The chairman greeted politely, bowing before coming back up, holding his hand to shake. Obviously, Sesshomaru would ignore his hand and just nod in acknowledgement. Unfazed, he turned towards me, letting his eyes take in my appearance.

I wore my usual; a black gothic dress, a corset plastered against my body with a little peak of cleavage, ribbons wrapped around my waist and tied into a bow at my lower back, and frilled skirt reaching my mid-thigh along with embroidery stockings to hide the excessive skin that would have been exposed. My tamed, wavy, black-ink mane flared out down my back, some over my shoulder- His smile never faltered.

"And you must be Kagome, it's a pleasure to meet you." I bowed in return.

Tone low and husky, I replied. "Pleasure is all mine." I couldn't help but smirk when I saw him shiver. He forced his hues away and back onto Sesshomaru.

"Wonderful sister you have, Taisho-sama, she'll fit right in." I doubted.

Half way during the introductory and tour, we separated ways. Sesshomaru and the Chairman headed towards his office for further discussion about my being here and I continued my tour to the upper levels of the school.

Walking around, I couldn't help but silently show my distaste of the female uniforms. It was bright yellow and puffy. Sure, my once travelling pack was the same colour, but this was a dress, and not being mean, since I do not know the female student body, but they looked like yellow cows. It was an eyesore. The male uniform was vastly more appealing to the eye.
They would all stop and stare, not bothered to hide their looks of awe. In all honesty, their gawking did not faze me at all, but it did surprise me how easily these yellow cattle's were drawn or distracted, sighing in affection- the guys were no different. Ignorance took over as strolled pass as if they never existed, but the walls and interior of the academy.

It was beautiful in its own nature. Everything was polished to shine, the red carpet stood out against the light pink walls. Chandeliers sparkled sending lights of gems across the stairways or the hallways setting a magical scene. People would laugh and giggle about without a care in the world. If I wouldn't have long ago created my strong-will, I would've crumbled into jealously. Wanting what they have, attaining something I could never have. I sighed.

"Ex-excuse me…?" I stopped. I turned. I was faced with one of the yellow cows. Nodding, I waited for her to continue.

"Are you part of the Black magic club? Your dress is hauntingly beautiful." She was complementing me. I was surprised to say the least. Plastering a fake smile, I shook my head.

"I apologise, I am only touring the academy. I am not due to attend till the beginning of next week." The girls face flushed in embarrassment. She apologised and scurried away before I could kindly ease her mistake.

Following the hallway I was already in, I came across a strange room. The sign above read, 'Music Room three'. But that wasn't what had me come to a sudden halt. It was the auras inside. There was admiration, flocks of love and absolute happiness radiating from the inside. Curiosity got the better of me. My hands touched the door knob, I was shocked to see them trembling. With nothing to lose, I opened the door.

Bright light shone, causing my eyes to close before blinking to adjustment. Without a pause, a blonde male suddenly caught me in his arms as one of his tilted my chin towards his unusual twinkling blue hues.

"It seems we have a newcomer," he said in a voice like silk. "Welcome to the Ouran host club, princess, before you stands Tamaki, your knight-in-shining armour." It has been centuries since I was last speechless. From my senses, the room had quieted down and every pair of eyes was on us. Took me a while to regain reality. My body hummed in response, I was intrigued and without thinking I wrapped my arms around his neck, bringing his smiling face closer towards my own.

"Knight-in-shining-armour, huh?" I purred, displaying my pain before him. "Will you save me from my own darkness? Fulfil my need? Sate my sinful desires?" The man before me opened his mouth, but nothing came out. His eyes widened as he stumbled out of my careless hold. The yellow cattle in the room gasped, their awe and raging emotions crashing against my calm state- they were like unsettled, mindless animals. The slightest things, being unsual, could set them off.

"Guess not." I chuckled lightly, stepping back into my emotionless façade. Nodding towards the now speechless male, I exited the room, as if I was never there. Smirking at my own sadistic nature, I closed my eyes searching out for Sesshomaru. I wanted to go home before I let my intrigued victim get the better of me. Sesshomaru's aura sparked back as he let some of his youki enter me. A sigh of contentment escaped my lips and I followed his lead.

"Does this school do you any justice." Sesshomaru said. I tilted my head, thinking for a while before replying.

"It is…interesting."

"Hn… seems you enjoyed your self-tour." I passed him a side glance. Guess he felt it.

"He's the chairman's son, isn't he?"

"You seemed to have attracted unneeded attention to yourself, no surprise."

"When am I ever unpredictable?" A deep rumbled coursed through Sesshomaru. His golden hues sparked in amusement.

"You are always unpredictable, Miko," there was a moment where Sesshomaru thought his next line of words. "Maybe we shall find your light within the academy walls." I hummed, finding it better than to retaliate.

As we reached the mansion, the staffs had already departed along with Jaken. Like every day, Sesshomaru and I would automatically head towards our private dojo where, as supernatural beings, we would release our pent up energy in a series of battles. Like every day, Sesshomaru would win and like every day I would heal his and my own injuries, some severe. In the end, we would depart ways to our own chambers for the night. I would be back in my little chair before my window and stare out into nothingness.

No matter how many times Sesshomaru spoke of taking me out of my darkness and into the light, I shrugged it away. It would never come. It was not that I didn't believe, I desperately wanted to, but I looked through the eyes of reality and in the long run. I hated to think it, but even Sesshomaru would eventually succumb to death. I was the immortal maiden, time meant nothing to me- I was lost. No one could share my burden; no one would even want to be a part of my disastrous dilemma. I know Sesshomaru meant well, but I had long stopped caring, silently witnessing the changing world, pondering if I will ever change. Maybe I did have a rare miraculous chance, maybe today's actions had told me I wasn't totally lost yet, but, I wasn't going to give myself hope. Inuyasha and Sango may have cracked my world, but I won't let myself break and shatter.

Sesshomaru helped me this far, helped me into my original era where I was able to meet my family again. But even they couldn't bring back the old Kagome. Sesshomaru protected me all these years, taking the role as my guardian, my beloved brother willing nothing in return but my own happiness.

With a forlorn sigh, like I ghost, I stepped out of my room and slipped into Sesshomaru's. He was awake, sitting in his bed, eyes already headed towards me. Even this was part of our daily routine. He would patiently wait on the left side of his bed, waiting for my arrival.
Smiling, I climbed in next to him, and in unison, we both lay, facing each other with the utmost peace, for the moment that lasted. His arm opened and I, like a toddler, moved in close, curling up next to him. Sesshomaru closed his eyes and soon, sleep took over him. I watched his serene face, it was the only time I saw Sesshomaru at ease, and to be honest, it calmed me. Watching his chest rise and fall was my own personal lullaby. And, like every night, the sacred words once spoken by Sesshomaru himself, would be my drug that rested me to a nightmare-less sleep.

"If you don't fight, Kagome, then this Sesshomaru shall fight for you, and he will fight till the day you realise that you are not forever alone. This Sesshomaru is always here, and he will never let you go."


Was it any good?
