Shadows of a past

A/N: To the wonderful AnimeHuntress, thank you. Your work on my stories is deeply appreciated. I could always say, I couldn�t have done it without you, but that just wouldn�t be true. I could do it without you . . . It just wouldn�t be as good.

Ch.5

Ash paused outside the door, thinking. Without even knowing it, that girl had given him a gift. She had taken the small amount of comfort he could give to her, without fear of her rejecting it or him. In return, she had only asked one thing of him. His name. Most people would have demanded answers of him right then and there. They always did, that was, until she came along. It had been a very long time since someone had not asked something of him, or demanded he give them something more. Even if it had only been a few words and a touch of hands, she had not asked for them. He had given them freely. It was something that had made him feel good.

�Enough of this.�

He started walking again, he had work to do. He couldn�t just sit here thinking of some woman that he did not even know, even if she did make him burn. The only reason for her not rejecting him, was because she didn�t know what he was, what he could do, and that she should fear him.

He stopped Mama Lo, on her way back to the room he had just come from. �Can she stay here, just for the night? She needs rest and it will give us the chance to learn more about what happened tonight, if she�s here still it�ll make it easer to question her if need be.�

Mama Lo nodded her head at him. �I already thought of it, had a room made up for her well you were in there. Now if you don�t need anything else, I�ll go help her get cleaned up and relocated.� she went to walk down the hall, then stopped as a thought struck her suddenly. �Do you think her family will wonder were she is and worry when she doesn�t come home tonight?�

That was something he had not thought of. Did she have a family? A husband? That thought made him sad and angry for some curious reason.

�She didn�t wear a wedding band,� his mind whispered, easing him some. �You�ll have to ask her. I don�t know,� he continued down the hall, leaving her to question Kagome on her family status.

Talon was waiting for him at his customary table when he entered the main area of the bar again. The blond haired man held a cell phone to his ear, speaking into it quietly. The sight sent a painful stab of longing threw his gut; he wanted what the ex-dark-hunter had, a growing family, someone he could love and be loved by. Nevertheless, that would never happen, he wasn�t lovable. He wiped the thought from his head, numbing himself. He was dark and scary, just like everyone thought, this was the way he preferred it.

Acheron took a seat with his back to the wall. �Tell Sunshine I said hello.�

Talon gave him a curious look before shrugging his shoulders casually. �Hey babe, T-Rex is here, he�s doing that funny �I know all� thing again, and he says to tell you hi,� Talon gave him a smug look, in which he answered to, by flipping the man off. Talon laughed, and then said. �Okay I will, I love you too. Bye�

�She said to tell you, hi.�

Ash raised an eyebrow at the man, �I know.� Talon rolled his eyes.

Acheron was a man who was always on the lookout for trouble. He let his eyes travel the room slowly, taking in anything and everything around him, before once again coming to rest on the man sitting with him.

�Tell me what happened out there tonight,� it was not a question.

Talon sighed, ignoring the tone of his friend�s voice. It was something he had gotten used to a long time ago. Playtime was over and T-Rex wanted answers, now.

�I was out for a cup of coffee. You know how Sunshine hates the stuff, well since she has become pregnant; the smell gets to her too. She can�t even be around the stuff without throwing up everywhere. She has no problems sending me out to get it though.� Talon snorted. �She says that when I don�t have my coffee, I turn into a grump,� he took a sip off the steaming cup of coffee that was currently sitting in front of him.

Ash raised an eyebrow, but said nothing. The man�s wife was right of course.

�Anyway, on the way there I spot these Daimons walking up on the girl, so I head over,� Talon grumbled under his breath. �Bastards are always trying to come between me and my coffee, I swear.�

Ash made his voice sound as innocent as possible, �now why would your wife ever think you grumpy without your coffee?�

Talon glared, Ash smirked.

�The way the Daimons were acting was strange though,� Talon had a thoughtful look to his face. �It was as if the girl was the best thing they had seen in years. They actually stayed around and tried to fight me for the girl. Hell, their leader didn�t even wait to fight me before biting her.� He took another sip from the coffee cup, �you think they�re getting more balls?�

Ash snorted loudly, �more stupid most likely.�

�Seven of them tried to keep me from the girl. That�s another thing that wasn�t normal about the hole thing, they were traveling in more then their normal numbers. One of the bastards even got a good hit in on me. I really wish I could have splintered his ass.�

�Why do you think the girl is�� he trailed off as an image of Kagome flinching came to mind.

�Not human?� Talon lowered his voice some, �I�ll tell you why, I don�t know of any humans, normal or not, that can expire a Daimon, much less eight of them, by glowing.�

Acheron sent him a skeptical look. �Glowing? You�re sure?�

�Very,� Talons deadpan voice matched his facial expression. �She would make a lovely street light,� Talons eyes narrowed slightly. �We were lucky we weren�t seen tonight. It could have turned out a lot worse then it did. I mean, how exactly would you explain a girl that can substitute for a night light?� Talons voice became heavily laced with a fake awkwardness. �Oh, you see miss, we had this radiation leak and well yeah this girl stepped into it. Yup, and the people you just saw turn to dust, that was a tanning bed experiment gone horribly wrong.�

Ash couldn�t help the slight twitching of his lips. He had always liked the Celtic-man, even if he did insist on calling him by that ridiculous nickname.

Ash�s eyes, always on the move, traveled to the hallway area that led to the back rooms. He silently agreed, it could have turned out a lot worse then it did. Kagome could have died. He didn�t like that thought in the least.

�What are we going to do with the girl?�

Ash stood up, tossing a couple bills on the table. �We will just have to see. Enjoy your coffee. I have to run.�

Talon nodded to him in appreciation, lifting his cup to him and taking a drink.

Acheron found Mama Lo at the bar, talking to Cherif, another one of her quadruplets, and also, bartender slash, part time bouncer.

Ash crossed his arms over his chest. The were-bears both looked over at him, Mama Lo excused herself to come over and talk to him.

�The poor thing, she was so tired she fell asleep on the table in there. You know it was funny though, I didn�t have to wake her up. She came awake the minute I came near her, like she knew I was there,� she dropped her voice as a couple tourists walked by, insuring privacy. �Funny a normal human doing that don�t you think?�

�Not really, maybe she just sleeps light.�

The look Mama Lo gave him said she believed otherwise. He shrugged it off. It didn�t matter if the girl was normal or not, she knew nothing of their world, his world. And if he had any say in the issue, it would stay that way. It was better off for the girl this way. Safer. The look of horror and self-loathing the girl displayed earlier, when she thought she had killed eight people, flashed in his mind. No this way would certainly be better for Kagome.

�Let her stay the night, but keep an eye on her, in the morning replace her memories of us and her wounds, then let her go. Our world is not her own, it should stay that way. It�s for the best, we know nothing about her and she knows nothing about us.�

Mama Lo nodded her understanding, �are you staying?�

He shook his head, �I have some things I need to do. I�ll see you later�

A/N: To all the readers of this story, and my other Inu Yasha /Dark-Hunter crossovers �How the Mighty Fall�. WOW! Thank you! Thank you! And thank you!!! I honestly was not expecting the reviews that I did receive. Simply because it is a rather unusual crossover. Nevertheless, I thought I would try it anyway and see how it was accepted. You have proven to me, beyond all else, that there are open-minded readers out there that will try something new and different.

Again, thank you!
