"Two Worlds, Two Loves, and One Adventure"
                     A Pokemon/Inu-yasha crossover
               Chapter Two: "Meeting for the First Time"

          "Listen. We'll find a way. So just quit crying, okay." Inu-yasha
said in a somewhat comforting voice. "Okay." Kagome whimpered.
            Elsewhere, "Did you hear someone crying Ash?" Misty asked Ash.
"Yeah. It's getting louder. We must be close. Misty, stay behind me, I'll
protect you." Ash said, listening hard all the while. "Thanks Ash." Misty
said, a pink tinge coming to her cheeks. "Don't mention it." Ash said,
blushing. Ash bravely walked into the clearing where Kagome and Inu-
yasha were. Misty stepped from behind Ash and knelt down beside
Kagome, while Ash and Inu-yasha eyed each other apprehensively. "Are
you alright?" Misty asked, concerned. "Yeah, I guess. What's your
name?" Kagome questioned. "It's Misty. What's yours?" "Kagome
Hiragashi" "Nice to meet you Kagome. So why were you crying?"asked
Misty, again concerned. "It's a long story. By the way, this is Inu-yasha."
introduced Kagome. "Oh yeah, this is Ash." Misty said, nudging Ash,
wanting him to go shake hands with Inu-yasha. "Er . . .  nice to meet you."
Inu-yasha said awkwardly, extending a hand. "Nice to meet you too, Inu-
yasha." Ash smiled and said, taking Inu-yasha extended hand and shaking
it. "Why don't you come back to our camp?" Ash suggested. "Thanks."
Kagome shakily replied, not giving Inu-yasha a chance to say no. Just then
they heard crying.
                                Ash and Misty looked at each other. "Togepi." Ash
muttered and took off, while Misty shouted to Kagome and Inu-yasha to
follow them. They ran for roughly two minutes before they came to the
camp. They immediately saw the problem. Togepi was clinging to a branch
fifty feet above the fastest part of the river that ran into the lake and
Pikachu was having trouble getting Togepi down. "Togepi." Misty quietly
said, falling to her knees. "Don't worry Mist. I'll get Togepi for you."Ash
calmly declared. Meanwhile Kagome and Inu-yasha were completely lost
as to what kind of creature Pikachu and Togepi were. Ash was about 25 to
30 feet in the air. He got up to Togepi, grabbed it, and slipped. Thinking
fast, Inu-yasha jumped, grabbed ash and Togepi, and landed safely on the
other side of the river. "Jeez, that was close. Thanks Inu-yasha!"Ash said.
"That's okay. It was pretty brave of you to climb up that tree." Inu-yasha
commented. "I'd do anything for Misty." Ash said sincerely. "Ditto. [Ha
ha! I couldn't resist. Please excuse my wacky sense of humor.] Kagome's
everything to me, of course I don't intend on telling her that." Inu-yasha
said. "Me neither."Ash laughed, referring to his own feelings for Misty.
They traveled back across the river to where the girls were waiting. Back
at the camp, after the fire was started, Misty and Kagome, with some help
from Ash, cooked dinner. They chatted idly for a while as they ate. Ash
and Inu-yasha were become good friends, as were Kagome and Misty.
After dinner, the girls insisted that Ash and Inu-yasha do the dishes. After
the dishes were done, the conversation turned serious.



           Disclaimer: I not own Pok'emon or Inu-yasha, so get off my back.



               Author's notes: There, now that I have that off my chest.
First I'd like to say that I know Inu-yasha's character is kinda weird at the
moment, but he sound better in the third chapter, at least in my opinion.
And may I also state that I do intend to make Inu-yasha and Kagome into a
couple, along with Ash and Misty. You just have to wait until chapter 4b
for the romantic stuff. Oh and one last thing. Togepi and Pikachu won't
appear much in the story from now on. I needed to get them out of the way
so that the couples can get together. My e-mail is
thesagefive@snowcrest.net, and as always, reviews and e-mails would be
nice. See ya!
