Two Worlds Crossing
Chapter I
Deep in the ravines of Grandfather Canyon, far away from any civilization, a girl named Kami ran. From her neck swung a silver Pokeball.
“Get away from me!” she screamed back at her pursuers. “Leave me alone!”
“Give us that Pokeball!” shouted a Team Aqua member.
“No, give it to us!” hollered a Team Magma member.
“NO!” Kami turned a corner and bumped into solid stone. She had backed herself into a dead end! Now she was trapped!
The Aqua and Magma Grunts smirked, agreeing on something for once. They had her now. “Houndour, go!” commanded a Magma grunt. In a burst of white light, the doglike Pokemon emerged from its Pokeball. It bared its fangs and snarled at Kami. Bits of fire came out of its mouth.
“Swampert, hold it off!” Kami threw her own Pokeball. A froglike turquoise creature with orange eyes and gray fins appeared. It blew a blast of water at Houndour, who retaliated with a shot of fire. The water overpowered the fire, and Houndour, drenching wet, fainted. The Magma Grunt snorted and recalled it back into the Pokeball.
“This time, girl, we aren't going to play nice with you! Either you give us that Pokeball, or—”
“Ah, shut your yap!” shrieked an overexcited Team Aqua Grunt. “I say we unleash all our Pokemon and see her Swampert against them!”
“Yeah!”
“Let’s kill her!”
“We get new Pokemon in the bargain, too!”
Pokeballs were unclipped from belts and sporadic starbursts of white light could be seen all over Grandfather Canyon as the Pokemon inside were released.
“Swampert, return!” called Kami, pulling it back inside the safety of its own Pokeball with a beam of red light. Now what am I going to do? Wait a sec… the Silver Pokeball! Mother told me before she died to wish on it whenever I desperately needed too! Well, I sure as hell need to now! Kami shut her eyes and closed her fist around the small silver Pokeball. I wish I was somewhere away from here where they couldn’t get me!
In a bright twinkle of multicolored lights, before the astonished faces of the Aqua and Magma Grunts, Kami, who had been cowering in the corner a minute ago, had vanished.
Chapter 2
~*Sengoku Jidai*~
Kami dared to open her eyes again. The creeps who had been chasing her had disappeared! She looked around at her surroundings. This certainly wasn’t Grandfather Canyon! She was surrounded by dark forest on both sides of her. Hastily, Kami checked the pocket of her backpack to make sure all her Pokeballs containing her prize Pokemon were there. Good, they all were. So was the silver Pokeball around her neck. “Sorry about stuffing you in there,” she apologized as she let her yellow-and-blue Minun named Sparky out. “But I had to.”
Sparky cocked her furry little head and replied, “Mi?”
Kami smiled and patted her. “It’s okay now. Where are we?”
“Mi?”
“I guess you wouldn’t know either.” Suddenly, Sparky bristled and growled at the trees. Electricity crackled in her fur. Kami quickly whipped around. Staring at her out of reddish-orange eyes was a two-tailed catlike creature with several darkish stripes in its cream colored fur.
“Wow! I’ve never seen that Pokemon before!” exclaimed Kami. “Let’s capture it! Sparky, go!” Minun bounded at the cat. Jagged yellow bolts of electricity flew out of its fur and blue cheeks. It hit the catlike creature full force.
Kami was in for a shock. The cat wasn’t blown back by the static charges, but jumped at her through the sparks, transformed into a larger and less cute version of itself and poised to attack her!
~*Kagome and crew’s POV*~
“Where’s Kirara?” Kagome asked Sango, hoisting her yellow backpack higher. In front of her, Inuyasha walked with Miroku and Shippo, looking back every now and then to tell Kagome to hurry up.
“I think she went ahead to hunt,” Sango replied.
The air was cut by a piercing scream of “AIIEEE!,” followed by a crunching sound in the forest underbrush and a rustling in the bushes. Behind the scream was Kirara’s growl.
Out of the brush tumbled a girl. Kagome was shocked. She was wearing a modern-day short sleeved light blue hoodie with a denim skort and clunky brown combat boots. Her brown hair was short (A/N: think Yumi-style from Chobits) and there was a look of utter fright in her green eyes. She looked to be about Kagome’s age.
“Kirara, off!” shouted Sango, rushing ahead. The catdemon glared at the girl once more and transformed back into her kitten state.
“I’m sorry!” exclaimed the girl. “I thought that Pokemon was wild!”
“Excuse me?” asked Sango. “I don’t know what a Pokemon is, but Kirara’s a cat demon.”
“Wh-where am I? Is this the Viridian Forest?”
“No,” said Kagome. “This is the Forest of Inuyasha.”
~*Kami’s POV*~
She didn’t know who these people were, but they all had weird-looking clothes, except for the gray-eyed girl in the sailor uniform. “How did you get here?” she asked Kami.
“I…just appeared here,” she said. No way was she going to tell about the Pokeball.
“Maybe you should talk to Lady Kaede. The village isn’t far from here,” said the other girl kindly. “We were just on our way there. My name’s Kagome, by the way.”
“I’m Kami.”
“Sango,” said the owner of the cat creature. “Nice to meet you.”
“Inuyasha.”
“Miroku.”
“Shippo.”
“Um…” Kami walked over to Inuyasha. “Are those ears real? Can I touch ‘em?”
Kagome laughed. “Everyone asks that.” Inuyasha looked pissed. “Not funny, Kagome.”
They all started again towards Kaede’s village.
~*Naraku’s castle*~
“Kanna, come here.” He beckoned towards the small, white-haired girl. She obeyed. “I’m sensing an incredible power eminating from that vile half-breed’s domain. Show me what you see in the mirror.”
Kanna waved her small albino hands over the slightly cracked looking glass. The image of Naraku that was reflected wavered and then dissolved, showing a pretty young girl wearing the same type of clothing as Kagome and the others. The thing that really drew him was the silver orb that hung around her neck on a black cord. “That is the source of the power! It has a similar aura to the Shikon no Tama!”

Chapter 3
~*Naraku’s castle*~
“What could it mean?” Naraku asked no one in particular. He paced around and around on the wooden floor.
“You’re going to pace a hole around yourself at that rate,” said Kagura, amusing herself by playing with puffs of air.
“SILENCE, you impudent wind witch! Remember, I always hold your life in my hands.” Naraku glared at her. “I’d like to see you have any idea of why that silver ball has the sort of power the Shikon no Tama does.”
Kagura fell silent.
“We must get that ball from her…if it really does hold the same aura as the Shikon, it must also have the ability to grant wishes.”
“What do you want me to do?”
“What else, fool?! Get that ball!” Naraku slapped her. She flinched. “All right, all right! I’m going!” With that, Kagura headed out.
~*Kaede’s village*~
The old woman looked up from her cooking as Kagome and Kami entered through the bamboo door. “Kagome,” she said with a smile. “Welcome. Who is this?”
“Kami. We found her out in the woods, or rather, Kirara did,” replied Kagome.
Kaede stood up and bowed. “It’s a pleasure.”
Kami bowed back.
“Lady Kaede, we were hoping you could tell us about where Kami came from and how she got here,” said Kagome.
“All right. I shall do my best. Sit, children.” Kaede knelt down on the wooden floor and they joined her. “Before I answer Kagome’s question, I need you to be honest with me. What is that thing around your neck?” Kaede asked Kami, nodding towards the silver Pokeball.
“I-I it’s…” Kami stammered. But then, the words of Mother entered her head. *Always trust your gut feeling.* Well, she’d better trust something here where she didn’t know anyone or anything… “It’s a Pokeball that can’t be opened, or so Mother told me, unless the Pokemon inside chooses to, for good or for evil.”
“I see…and what is a Pokeball?”
“A device used to keep the captured Pokemon in. I’ll fill you in on Pokemon later. Anyway, Mother said the Pokemon inside is a wish granter that can make all your dreams come true.”
“May I touch it?” asked Kaede. Kami nodded. Kaede gently ran her withered fingers over it. “It’s aura is remarkably similar to that of the Shikon no Tama.”
“Then how come I couldn’t sense it?” asked Kagome.
“Possibly because you can only sense it if you touch it. Did you touch it before?”
“No.”
“Then that’s why.” Kaede gave Kami a grave look. “If the Pokemon indeed has the power to grant wishes, then it’s very dangerous. All the demons will covet it as much as the Shikon no Tama. And if Naraku finds out…”
“Knowing him, he probably already has,” said Kagome, looking worried. “Kami, it’s going to be too dangerous for you to travel alone. Want to come along with us?”
“Okay,” said Kami. She didn’t think she’d have stayed here in the village anyway.
Just then, shouts and screams could be heard from the outskirts of the village, proceeded by a huge gust of wind. Shippo came barreling into the hut on all fours, whimpering for Kagome, who scooped him up in her arms and gave him a hug. “What’s going on?” cried Kami. She and Kagome ran out of the cottage with Shippo perched on Kagome’s shoulder.
Standing on the top of a low hill, with winds swirling all around her and villagers falling in bloody heaps right and left, was Kagura and her demon fan.
Chapter 4
“Who’s that?” cried Kami. She ducked as a chicken came flying her way. Miroku and Sango hurried up to her and Kagome’s side.
“It’s Kagura!” exclaimed Kagome. “What does she want? The Shikon shards again?”
“No! Naraku wouldn’t try the same tactic twice!” Miroku called over the flow of air. “Kagura! I’ll pull you into the kazaana!”
“I wouldn’t try that if I were you.” Flying up behind Kagura was a flock of Saiyashamo. Miroku glared at her and replaced the seal on his hand.
“You again, bitch?” snarled Inuyasha, jumping up to where Kagura was on the hill. He was using the Tetsuaiga for endurance against the winds. “Haven’t you had enough of being beaten?”
“I haven’t come for the shards, you half breed!” said Kagura, grinning evilly and keeping him just out of the reach of her. “I’ve come for something just as powerful, though! That girl!” She pointed at Kami. “That silver ball is what Naraku wants! And what Naraku wants,
Naraku gets!”
Inuyasha had finally made it within arm’s length of Kagura. He grabbed her by the neck, ceasing the jagged blades of wind she was doling out from her fan. “Talk! Why does Naraku want her?”
“Fool…you can’t even feel that the power emanating from that ball has the same magic as the Shikon no Tama!” Kagura smirked.
“What? You’d better explain before I kill you!”
“Heh… that ball…on that girl’s neck… my master Naraku sensed the same type of magical power as the Shikon…and he’s betting that it can also be as corrupted as the Shikon!”
Inuyasha was shocked. Why hadn’t anyone told him before? “That’s what we were in Kaede’s hut for, Inuyasha!” called Kagome up to where he was standing.
He snorted. “You could have told me!” he snapped back.
Kagura felt Inuyasha’s grip loosen slightly as he talked to Kagome. She chose that moment to duck under, out of the way and pull a feather from her hair. Another strong wind kicked up.
“Naraku will get the jewel!” she yelled downwards toward the group before she coasted away on the enlarged feather with the Saiyashamo flying after her.
“Kagome! Why didn’t you tell me?” he asked as soon as they had retreated back to the safety of Kaede’s house and were all sitting on the floor. Sparky the Minun cautiously trotted over to Kami and hopped onto her shoulder.
“I was going to, after Kaede took a look at Kami!” she said indignantly. “I’m not as distrustful as you make me out to be, Inuyasha!”
“Feh. You’d better explain this to the rest of us, old woman,” said Inuyasha to Kaede.
“Very well. Since Kami’s Pokeball—” There were looks of confusion from Miroku, Sango, Shippo, and Inuyasha. “It’s a tool that they use in her world to keep their Pokemon pets in,” Kaede explained. “Anyway, Naraku was correct to say that it had the same magic as the Shikon, as I tested it myself, and he wants to use it to grant his own wishes since he can never seem to get a hold of the shards.”
“What kind of ‘pet’ is in this ball?” asked Inuyasha.
“Um…” Kami felt a little intimidated by this silver-haired dog demon with his seemingly continual scowl. “I haven’t ever been able to open it. Whatever it is it has to be a Pokemon with wish granting powers. I’ve checked my Pokedex. It says nothing about it.”
“You’d better check harder or I’ll—”
“Inuyasha, SIT!” commanded Kagome. He fell flat on his face. Kami and Sparky giggled. “You’re scaring the kid even more. And is that any way to talk to your future traveling companion?”
“Traveling?! Now wait a second!”
“Shut up! Kami’s coming with us whether you like it or not.”
“Feh.” Inuyasha turned away.
“I don’t want to trouble any of you,” mumbled Kami. “I mean, if he doesn’t want me…”
“He does.” Kagome gave a yank on Inuyasha’s ear. “He just doesn’t want to show it.”
They all laughed. “Kami, can you show us all your Pokemon?” Shippo asked from his place on the floor where Sparky had wandered and was now nuzzling his cheek.
“Okay.” Kami dug into her backpack and pulled out the remaining five Pokeballs. “Swampert!” The froglike Pokemon popped out and nearly squashed Shippo and Sparky. “Vileplume!” A purple Pokemon with a large blossom for a head let out a cloud of sweet-smelling powder happily as she saw Kami. “Flareon!” All fire colored fur and charcoal black eyes, the Pokemon looked around nonchalantly and started preening itself. “Beautifly!” The bug-and-flying Pokemon with vibrant wing patterns latched itself onto Kami as soon as it saw her.
Shippo was awed. He couldn’t decide which one to play with first. The sunset was filled with sounds of child laughter and Pokemon growls.
~*Naraku’s POV*~
Kagura landed in the courtyard of the castle. “So,” said Naraku from the dark depths. “Kagura, you have failed me again.”
“No! It was that blasted half breed Inuyasha! He—”
“Shut up.” A blob of flesh materialized in Naraku’s hands. It turned into a human heart. “Next time, Kagura. Next time I will not be so nice.” He squeezed the heart. Kagura fell to the ground, a sharp pain in her chest. “You are so completely stupid that I shall go fetch it myself. That girl…that ball…shall belong to Naraku!”

Chapter 5
~*Kikyo’s POV*~
Kikyo stood at the top of the hill leading to Inuyasha’s forest at sunset, listening with envy to the happy sounds coming from Kaede’s hut. Her dark eyes widened with surprise as she sensed a new aura that joined them; another girl. Kikyo grew even more astonished as she probed deeper into the girl’s aura and found that she, like herself had been before, was a keeper of something hugely powerful, and the aura of the item itself was remarkably similar, almost the same, to the Shikon no Tama.
But wait. If that was indeed true, then…
Then Kikyo could wish herself back alive, for real. She could make Inuyasha hers once again. Now all she needed to do was to make sure that the girl would listen to what she had to say. A faint smile formed on her lips as a devious plan began to take shape inside her mind.
~*Kami’s POV*~
Kami spread out her sleeping bag on the wooden floor. It was really crowded tonight in Kaede’s hut. Inuyasha and Miroku were going to sleep on a pile of straw, Inuyasha nearest the door; Kaede would be in her usual place nearest the hearth, and Sango, Kagome, and Kami were sleeping on the far side of the room, as far away from Miroku’s groping hands as possible. Shippo and Kirara curled up on another, smaller pile of straw near Kagome and Kami. Shippo had insisted that Sparky sleep next to him.
Finally, everyone got situated and one by one pairs of eyes closed and slipped deep into the Dreamtime.
“Kami… Kami…” A voice called out at her through a blanket of silver mist.
“Who’s there?” Kami clutched the Pokeball protectively around her neck. “What do you want?”
“I am someone very much like yourself, Kami. Forced to hold and protect a dangerous item that nearly took my life for it. I want to spare you from the same fate as me.”
“Who are you?”
“Call me…Kikyo. Come, Kami. Awaken and head to the hill near Inuyasha’s forest. I shall be waiting for you.”
“What are you going to do?”
“You’ll have to trust me on that one.” A face loomed at her through the mist, with long black hair and ebony eyes, a face that looked very much like Kagome’s. “Awaken, Kami!”
Kami sat up in her sleeping bag. A long, silvery object flew stealthily through the flap of Kaede’s hut. A closer look showed it to be like a cross between a snake and an insect, with six legs near the front of its skinny body. “Kami…follow the soul skimmer.” The voice rang out inside Kami’s head, regal and commanding. “And do not waken anyone else to go with you. This is something they will not understand.”
“O-okay,” she whispered to herself. Getting up quietly out of her sleeping bag, Kami silently pulled on her boots and gathered her Pokeballs, glancing nervously every now and then at Inuyasha, who’s ears were twitching slightly with each little noise she made. The soul skimmer waited patiently for her.
As soon as she was dressed, the small demon flew out of the hut, Kami trotting after it, trying not to step on any twigs or trip on rocks. They made a strange sight, a young girl and a silvery demon walking together under the moonlight.
Kami followed the soul skimmer all the way up the hill, to where a girl in a red and white kimono was waiting for her.
Chapter 6
“So you’ve come,” said Kikyo, surveying Kami. “You are from Kagome’s world, are you not?”
“No. I…” Kami hesitated, wondering how much to tell her. *She looks like she can be trusted. How bad can this girl be?* “I’m from another world, I think I wished myself here.”
“Indeed.” *So the thing she is carrying does have the same powers as the Shikon. Excellent.* “Tell me, what did you use to wish yourself here?”
“Um…” Kami wordlessly pointed at the silver Pokeball.
“Oh. May I see it?”
~*Inuyasha and crew’s POV*~
Inuyasha woke up. He’d been hearing little noises all night in his sleep and they were starting to drive him crazy. He was going to tell the one making the noise to shut up or he’d bash them, but a pungent scent hit his nose before he could open his mouth.
The faint scent of earth and demon. Had Kikyo been there? Inuyasha’s eyes then fell upon an empty sleeping bag. Kami’s empty sleeping bag. Her scent lingered out the door, mixed with that of soul skimmer and earth. Was she going to see Kikyo?
“Kagome. Kagome.” Inuyasha poked her, bending over her sleeping figure.
“Wh— AIEE! Pervert!” she screamed, slapping him and waking up everyone else. “Oh. It’s you, Inuyasha. What is it?”
“Inuyasha, you must never sneak up on a woman like that!” declared Miroku. “I’m not even that bad.”
He glared at her and Miroku, a hand mark on his face. “Shut up, Miroku. I was going to say,” he stated in a heated tone, “that your friend has gone missing. Her scent is mixed with that of Kikyo’s.”
*Oh, no,* Kagome thought. *What would Kami have to do with Kikyo?* Had she really been to see her? “Inuyasha,” she said aloud, “can you track Kami to Kikyo?”
“Feh. Easy.” He glared at Kagome again, then started snuffing the air again. “This way.” Out the door he bounded, followed closely by Kagome, Sango, Miroku, Shippo, and Kirara.
Kaede stood at the mouth of the hut. *My sister, why do you wish for Kami? What are you planning?*
~*Kikyo and Kami’s POV*~
“May I see it?” Kikyo asked again.
Kami looked at Kikyo’s tall profile, her dark eyes and hair and the queenly way in which she carried herself. *She’s so beautiful she can’t possibly be bad…can she?* Slowly, her hand reached towards the Pokeball, preparing to lift it off her neck.
“Hold it right there!” Kagome had gotten ahead of Inuyasha in her worry and was running as fast a she could towards Kami. “Kami, don’t give her your Pokeball! She stole all my Shikon shards to give to Naraku! Don’t let her do the same to you!”
Kami flinched and pulled away. Kikyo glared at Kagome. “You. You always spoil everything!” But even as her brown eyes glowered, Kami could see…a trace of sadness in them. “This was my one chance, Inuyasha,” she said, looking at him behind Kagome, “my one chance to wish myself alive again so I could be with you! But no, that girl, she had to come up just as I was receiving the silver ball! Farewell, Inuyasha.” With that, Kikyo disappeared, riding on the backs of the soul skimmers, into the night sky.
“Wait! Kikyo!” Inuyasha called, gazing into the sky.
But there was silence. She had disappeared.
“What’s with him?” asked Kami as they traipsed back to the village. “Why is he quiet all of a sudden?”
“It’s because of Kikyo,” Kagome told her in an undertone. “He used to love her.”
*Does Kagome sound bitter or is it just my imagination?* wondered Kami. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have listened to her.”
“Don’t worry about it. You couldn’t have known,” said Kagome, still looking, in Kami’s opinion, rather sad.
They were greeted back at the hut with squeals of joy and occasional jolts of electricity from Kami’s Minun. Kami laughed and petted Sparky. “I missed you too.”
~*Naraku’s Castle*~
Kikyo walked up the steps of the cold house, vengeance coursing through her blood, or rather, her body of earth and bones. She was angry. No, she was beyond angry. She was so furious that she was ready to make a pact with Naraku about something they both wanted. And something they both had to get rid of.
*What’s she doing here?* Kagura wondered as she saw Kikyo walking down the hallway. The wind witch opened her fan, ready to strike. “What do you want, Priestess?” she snapped.
“To see…Naraku,” was Kikyo’s response.
Kagura was surprised. “Why?”
“Unless you want to die tonight you’d best show me to Naraku!”
Startled and just a little frightened (after all, she had been nearly killed by Kikyo once before) Kagura led Kikyo down the hall to where Naraku was sitting.
“So. Kikyo. What brings you here?” Naraku asked while playing with a blob of flesh from one of his containers (A?N: O_o gross, I know).
“Naraku. I will make a deal with you,” said the priestess.
He looked at her out of blood red eyes. “Oh? What is that?”
“That new girl traveling with Inuyasha and his companions possesses something of extraordinary powers, much like the Shikon no Tama.”
“Yes, yes, I already know about that,” said Naraku, absently twisting the blob into the shape of a heart.
“If you will help me get that ball, I shall promise to seek out the remaining jewel shards and give them to you.”
