Chapter 0: Prologue

 

~~~!~~~

20 years earlier

 

The building was a freakin' maze! No matter how many levels they went up, there was still another one to go, more guards to fight. Inu Yasha was really starting to get pissed at the slow pace they were going. And Sesshoumaru's smart ass comments weren't helping! Stupid Sesshoumaru for making me come.... Inu Yasha grumbled to himself as the two ahead of him slowed before a set of stairs.

 

“What the hell we stoppin' for!?” He yelled as he wiped the blood of his sword before sheathing it.

 

“Shut up half-breed!” Sesshoumaru growled.

 

“The next floor is the labs...” the second man stated coldly. Slowly they creped up the stairwell to the next floor, trying to gauge the resistance they were about to meet.

 

“I can't believe we came all the way here just for some baby.... And not just any baby.... but one half way across the universe!” Inu Yasha fumed.

 

“When an Angel comes down and says that you HAVE to go and save the child from suffering the same fate as her brother, then you do as told and get the damn thing....” the other man was getting really tired of listening to the dog complain about coming. He told Sesshoumaru he could do it on his own with out the help of a demon.... well... that and that he didn't want his half brother's complaining ass slowing him down. “And I never said you had to come....”

 

“No, Sesshoumaru did. Just because-”

 

“Shh!” The floor before them was empty of all life, save a few lab assistants running here and there. Sliding passed the unsuspecting people they made their way farther inside.

 

“I'm not seeing this kid of yours....” Inu Yasha said, sounding like a snotty 5 year old.

 

“They said she was here....” the other man mused, scratching his tattoos as Inu Yasha stared at him like he was about to catch fire.

 

Sesshoumaru suddenly looked up at the ceiling, concentrating on something neither of the other two could hear. “The child is another floor up it seems...”

 

“And I'm guessing this goes up then?” Inu Yasha asked while standing next to a small elevator. They entered the elevator and waited as it lifted to the floor waiting above.

 

When it stopped they were greeted by steel, white walls and the soft cries of a child. There were huge tubes full of a green substance none of them had seen before, which emitted a strange hum. And in the center of the room was the thing they were looking for. The baby, not more than a month old cried. Not the normal wails that children cry when no one is paying attention to them, but in pain. As they made their way over they saw that someone had hooked her up to various tubes, pumping whatever was in the green tanks into her little body. Sesshoumaru and the man with the tattoos went over to the baby and began carefully removing the tubes while Inu Yasha looked around the room.

 

“What kind of monster does this to their own daughter?” the man asked himself as they disconnected the last of the tubes.

 

Inu Yasha snapped around, “Wait, her father did this to her?!”

 

“Yes.” Everyone turned to see that a scrawny looking man standing at the other end on the room with ten guards ready to open fire upon them. “Now if you'll set my precious specimen down, these men will lead you down to execute you.” Running a hand through his jet black unkempt hair, he took a long look at Inu Yasha and turned to one of the guards and said, “Except for the one with the ears.... he should make fine experiment....”

 

“Yes Professor Hojo.”

 

Visibly taking a step back, Inu Yasha pulled out his sword and pointed his huge blade towards Hojo. “Not likely old man!”

 

“The baby is coming with me!” yelled the tattooed man as he clutched the whimpering child to his chest.

 

“Really.... number 2 is still weak from the Mako and the JENOVA injections.... taking her from here now would only kill her...” Hojo acted like none of this was bothering him.

 

Number 2? Inu Yasha thought as they began edging backwards towards the elevator. As they moved the elevator slide down out of view.

 

“Really now? Well that sounds really convenient, but I'll take my chances,” the tattooed man said as Sesshoumaru ripped the door off the elevator shaft and jumped down. Suddenly there was a horrible screech of metal being pulled apart, causing the cables to jump in response.

 

“Now Kevin!”

 

Kevin turned and ran; jumping down in to the darkness, safely landing on the floor below through the gaping hole in what was once the elevator. Even Inu Yasha knew better than to stay and fight, though only because he didn't want to chance becoming some lad rat experiment. It would be two more floors down before they would stop, if only to check on the tiny child in Kevin's arms.

 

“Damn.... all that over a kid....?” Inu Yasha breathed, not really wanting to be caught after all that.

 

“He did say that the child was important....” Sesshoumaru said in a `matter of fact' way. Something caught his eye on the baby's head as Kevin moved the blanket around to see all the needle marks on her arms. “There is a tattoo on the back of her head.....”

 

Both Inu Yasha and Kevin looked at him like he had just grown six heads. “What?”

 

Sesshoumaru sighed and moved over to Kevin and pulled down the blanket more. “Here, where the head and the neck meet. The hair around it has been shaved away....”

 

And sure enough, he was right. A black roman numeral for two was printed on the back of her head. “Damn... that guy is fucked up to do that to his kid....” Inu Yasha stated with a huff.

 

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a small giggle came out of the baby, her bright blue eyes looking over at Inu Yasha.

 

“HA! She thinks I'm funny!”

 

“No... She must think you're a complete moron...”

 

As the two brother fought, Kevin continued to look over the child with interest. Finally seeing that there were no more inflictions upon her, He looked to her arm. There was a small bracelet around one of her tiny wrists with lots of writing on it. “Hmmm... Shinra Labs.... Experiment number two.... `J' Huh?”

 

“Hey... I was thinking” Inu Yasha started.

 

“This must have been hard for you...” Sesshoumaru teased.

 

Inu Yasha turned and glared at his brother before continuing, “if she's number two.... then who's number one?”

 

“Put J down and I'll end your lives quickly.”

 

“My guess would be him....”
