Rurouni Kenshin Fan Fiction / InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The well started it all... ❯ The meeting ( Chapter 1 )

AN: I noe I noe. I have a bad history of not completing stories. My bad. It's just that I had this scenario creeping in the back of my head and I just got grounded off of my TV so … wat else is there to do? Write a story of course! I actually got this kinda idea… I mean the whole rk/inu crossover thing idea… from alandrem. PLEASE DON'T GET MAD AT ME! I LOVE YOUR STORIES! Please no flames and no voting for characters cuz u'll just confuse the heck out of me. I kinda already got all of this story in my head and I'm trying to write it down in bursts before my idea's leak out. Oops. there goes one of them. Newyaz please no flames. Pretty pretty please. but I would appreciate it if u could correct my names and stuff. Have a good read, I'm not sure I'll update if I don't really get a lot of reviews. Maybe I will either way? Okay, no more chitter chatter on to typing my story.

Disclaimer: gosh I'm already tired of typing! This is gonna be hell. I don't own rurouni kenshin or inuyasha.

The trees shimmered emerald as the sun played with the leaves. Birds chirped happily as they lazed about. Even the usually loud dogs were quiet as they basked in the soothing sunshine. The clouds passed slowly across gently waving fields and meadows. All was quiet and peaceful…

"I don't think that was wise Sano…" Kenshin's whisper shattered the calm serenity. You could hear every sound that was made as the dust was disturbed by Sano's retreating footsteps. Around the group of people clustered by the stone well was a seething tension in the air. Kenshin sat lazily on the well watching the scene unfold.

"Why… you…" Kaoru's angry hissing was clearly audible in the silence. Even Kenshin had to agree that Sano had gone too far. When Miss Kaoru had joined them at last for their walk to town Sano had casually remarked on her appearance. 'I think he called her an ugly raccoon…' Kenshin ignored Battousai.

He knew Battousai didn't care much for Kaoru but Kenshin was the one in control, not the ex-manslayer. 'I am still very much the manslayer baka.' Kenshin chose to ignore that insult as well. Sano then had, unexpectedly, said that she should climb a tree somewhere and fuck her own kind. Though Kenshin thought that Sano hadn't meant to say that out loud he knew Sano would still face the consequences.

There was shock first on his face and then wariness. Kaoru had allowed her bangs to cover her face and her slight frame was shaking. At first both Sano and Kenshin had thought she was crying but as she slowly looked up at them she had whispered two words. Why. You. And that was the events that led up to the situation now. He looked at how things had, unfortunately, escalated during his musings and uttered a surprised oro as he saw that Sano was directly in front of him and still coming.

Sano had been steadily walking backwards and was almost upon the unsuspecting rurouni. As Kaoru pushed him with an enraged yell Sano stumbled backwards arms flailing. Kenshin had been sitting on the edge of the aforementioned stone well and as Sano bumped into him they both fell with a surprised yelp into its darkness. That would be the last utterance Kaoru would hear from them for some time.

Kenshin waited for the impact of the water but instead light filtered through his closed eyelids. He opened them slowly and looked at the swirling lights in awe. Even the loquacious Battousai had no comment for this odd turn of events. Unbeknownst to Kenshin or Sano, who still had his eyes tightly shut, Misao was also falling through the well. During Sano and Kaoru's little spat Misao was practicing her ninja techniques. When Sano and Kenshin fell in the well she had gone after them instinctively. Her mouth was stuck in an uncharacteristic o as she fell quietly with them.

~*~*~*~*~*~Feudal Era~*~*~*~*~*

Kagome stood helplessly as she stared, transfixed, at the site of the bird youkai's hand through inuyasha's stomach. They had come, or rather she ran while he followed, to the well and were arguing on the subject of her leaving when suddenly inuyasha was being attacked. This, added with her having no bow and arrows, wasn't a good thing. She didn't worry much at first because inuyasha was doing fine but then the bird youkai had belted out a sinister laugh and got ten times stronger. 'I vow to never leave my bow behind again' she thought and winced as inuyasha crashed to the ground.

It seemed forever till the trio touched the ground. Kenshin had long ago sensed Misao and cursed his stupidity. 'I wouldn't have made that mistake' was the undeniably smug voice in his mind. He looked at the old crumbling wooden planks of the well and then up at the cloudless sky. Then he smelt the blood in the air. He glanced towards Sano and Misao and gave a small smile as he saw they were still asleep. He leapt out of the well and took in his surroundings.

His eyes rested, then feasted, on the back of a girl. Her hair reached the top of her but, and a very nice but it was. His eyes lingered there for a moment and then drifted down her uncovered shapely legs. They looked smooth to the touch and, oh, how he longed to touch them. Too easily he could see those legs gripping his hips in ecstasy. But when she cried out a name in panic he was forced to access the situation.

There was a young man dodging what looked to be a bird's dangerous talons. Except this bird had the features and the form of a man. He could see the gaping hole in the young mans… wait were those ears on the guy's head? 'Yes, yes they were… and? Any more questions' Battousai's voice rang with sarcasm. He heard the woman yell again and decided to join the battle.

Kagome watched Inuyasha fight and wished Sango and Miroku were there as well. 'If only I had greater powers' she thought glumly. A red blur passed her to join the fight. 'Where did that come from? I should have been able to sense if there were more demons' 'You didn't sense the bird youkai' said a nasty voice inside her. She chose to ignore the stab of guilt the statement caused and concentrated on the fight.

The red blur was just that, a red blur. It was even faster than Sesshomaru and Kagome felt unease at the thought of what would happen after the fight was over. Is this a good demon or bad? The bird youkai let out a final yell as it's eyes glazed over and it slumped to the ground. 'He didn't kill the youkai' was the incredulous thought as she felt trust spread through her. The red blur was finally still and she had her chance to take a look at their savior.

He was short, but taller than she. His clothes were clean, though ragged and the faded top he wore had seen better days. Their eyes connected across the cratered field and she almost gasped at the sight of such beauty. 'Even more so than inuyasha's' whispered the traitorous voice in her head that insisted her love for Inuyasha was just a mere infatuation.

They were violet with swirls of amber in them and utterly breathtaking. Her eyes finally drifted to the cross-shaped scar on his left cheek. It should have detracted from his beauty but it just added to his sexiness. 'Sexy?' she shook her head at the odd thoughts and looked for Inuyasha. He lay bleeding on the ground, but his wound was already healing as she carefully walked to his body.

'She's beautiful' Battousai said in awe and Kenshin agreed wholeheartedly. His eyes traveled over her body as she picked her way to the form on the ground. He didn't once think that his scrutiny was out of character. As she continued on her way to the dog-eared man he felt a stab of jealousy. 'She will be mine' was Battousai's firm voice.

"Hey, Kenshin! You here … what the fuck! Where are we?!" Sano's voice ripped through the quiet. Kenshin looked towards the well and saw Misao by Sano sitting on the edge of it. Misao's hair was tousled and mussed but Sano looked like he had been strolling through the woods and decided to take a little rest.

"I have no clue Sano." Said Kenshin lightheartedly and began making his way to the lovely lady. His eyes went to her backside and he felt heat move through him.

"Hello Miss, can I be of assistance?"

"What? Oh." She turned towards him in surprise and blushed cutely as she looked him in the eye.

"Could you… pick him up for me? If you can that is…" her voice trailed off and she gaped in surprise as he fluidly went down and picked up the unconscious form. He smirked at her surprise and again she blushed. She was amazed at his strength, and the way he moved. It was like watching a panther, or what she imagined a panther would move like if she could watch him that is.

'It was…' Kagome let the thought trail off. She seemed to be doing that often lately. She led the way to Lady Kaede's house. As she picked her way through the path she asked questions to fill the silence.

"So… What are all your names?" was Kagome's first question, asked in a cheery voice.

"Sano."

"Misao."

"Kenshin" her breath caught at the sound of his voice so close to her and her heartbeat sped up. 'Get a hold of yourself Kagome!"

"My names Kagome" was her reply.

"Where are… or should I ask when are we Miss Kagome?" asked Kenshin when he drew level to her on the path.

"Kagome is fine. And we are in the feudal era." He caught her eye and she almost tripped as she became engrossed in them. 'They were violet with amber in them last time!' She tore her eyes away from the now purely violet eyes and wondered if she had stared too long. Kenshin hid his smirk under his bangs.

"Kagome. Beautiful." Misao and Sano exchanged bewildered looks. He hadn't persisted in calling her Miss was the thought that passed between them. Kenshin's acting weird mouthed Sano and Misao nodded quickly in acknowledgment. In unison they turned to the amusing pair. During their exchange Kagome was busy blushing prettily and averting her eyes from this handsome charismatic man. She longed to run her fingers through his fiery red tresses that were as long and as silky as hers.

"Thanks for helping with Inuyasha" Kagome smiled for the first time without restraint or hesitation. It was Kenshin's turn to blush and Battousai didn't like that very much. 'Bah, your blushing as if you were some willing virgin' and decided to punish the poor rurouni.

"The… pleasure will be all mine." Came the suddenly husky voice beside Kagome. She looked towards him, eyes wide and cheeks flustered. 'His eyes are mostly amber now with violet swirls' She couldn't decide which color she thought was more appealing. The shiver that ran the entire length of her body caused her to close her eyes momentarily, breaking the apparent trance she was in once again. 'Those eyes are definitely dangerous. No matter what color they are.' She once again averted her eyes from him and decided to fill them in on where they were and what was going on.

"Your in the Feudal Era. It's filled with many dangerous demons good and bad. I came here through the well with the shikon no tama. A jewel that is very valuable for its strength increasing ability and, when complete, the wish it can grant. I met this hanyou here. His name is Inuyasha. A hanyou is a half demon half human. He has an older brother that wants Inuyasha's sword, the tetsugai. Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha's brother, is a full demon. They're half brothers. I'm a miko, which means I can purify demons among other things. I'm also protector of the Shikon." They looked at her in amazement as she took a deep breath and continued.

"We travel with a lecher priest named Miroku and a demon slayer named Sango. Sango also has a fire cat demon named Kirara. I have an adopted son named Shippou he's a kitsune demon. Both are traveling with us to get their revenge on Naraku, he is also a hanyou. You'll have to ask them why they want revenge though. And you'll have to ask Inuyasha, when he's conscious, too." By the time she was done they were at Kaede's house.

"Kagome why are you after Naraku?" Kenshin asked interestedly but she pretended she didn't hear his question and bustled them in the house. 'I can't tell him how I broke the jewel into a hundred pieces' for some reason the thought of Kenshin thinking badly of her was appalling. Kenshin gently placed Inuyasha on the straw mat and Kagome marveled at the ripple of muscle through the stretched top. Sano looked at Kagome and decided to clear the path for Kenshin.

"Kenshin's an ex-manslayer formally known as Battousai. I'm an ex-fighter-for-higher. And Misao is a trained ninja orphan." Kenshin looked apprehensively at Kagome to gauge her reaction to the manslayer comment.

"Oro?" she wasn't even paying attention to him. He was expecting fear not indifference. But there she was petting what looked to be Shippou.

"Kagome? Did you hear what Sano said?" She glanced up and gave him a slight smile. He wondered why he wanted to see one of those brilliant smiles instead. He wondered why he wanted to be the one to make those brilliant smiles come to her face.

"Yes, I heard. You ex-manslayer, him ex-fighter, her ninja girl." She waved a slim hand at him in exasperation. He hadn't known he was holding his breath until he let it out. Relief poured through him as he realized she didn't care about his past. A groan came from the corner as Inuyasha slowly got up. It became hushed as he surveyed his surrounding and rested his eyes on Kenshin and Sano. He began to growl threateningly.

"What the fuck are you guys doing here and who the hell are you!" was the loud yell that erupted from the hanyou's mouth.

"Inuyasha?" said Kagome in a sticky sweet voice. Kenshin arched his eyebrows at what it implied. Inuyasha looked fearfully at Kagome already knowing what would happen.

"Sit!" Kagome's yell rocked the tiny hut followed by a loud scream and thump. There was silence and suddenly Misao's delighted laughter rang through the forest.

AN: I have NEVER NEVER NEVER wrote such a long chapter in one sitting. My back is killing me. Merry Christmas ya'll!!!!!!!
