Affinity

by Forthright .

He was the last thing Kagome expected to discover in the modern era... a youkai. When Kurama cannot turn his back on the loneliness in her eyes, she’s slowly drawn into his world... and he into hers. An InuYasha and YuYuHakusho crossover. [Kagome & Shuuichi Kurama/Youko]

Disclaimer: Affinity is an Inuyasha x YuYuHakusho fanfiction. I don’t profit from this story, but fandom friends can still get credit for reading it. ::twinkle::
Author’s Note: I suppose I was fascinated with the differences between a hanyou like Inuyasha, who is half of two things … and someone like Kurama, who is both two people and one person.

[Tomoe · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a really sweet story about real love and sacrifice, about longing and belonging.
But with enough action to keep us on our toes.
The possibility of a relationship between Kurama and Kagome is rarely explored, and here is a bittersweet and utterly touching rendition.

My absolute favorite fanfic featuring Kurama and Kagome. Literally followed the story since the beginning and was so happy when it was completed.

This was a mixing of 2 fandoms I had never thought about but which makes perfect sense. And Karama was always one of my favorites.

[LadyIsmene · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is such a touching story about healing and friendship. The parallels connecting the two stories are wonderfully done. I appreciate how, in the end, Kagome stays true to her heart.
