InuYasha Fan Fiction / Sailor Moon Fan Fiction ❯ Journey through the past ❯ The Jewel Shard and the exterminator. ( Prologue )

"I WON'T LET YOU LIVE EVEN IF YOU BEG FOR FORGIVENESS!!!" She shot her arrow hitting her target right where she wanted.

'The only one with power like that was the priestess' Naraku felt the arrowof the mortal girl pierce the body of the shadow image he made. He then disappeared taking Kohaku with him and the phantom castle. The Shadow heard their gentle voices.

'Kagome hit him, she did it!!' Those were the voices of the Monk and the keeper of the Tesusaiga. Naraku felt his shadow drifting father away, but shrugged none the less it was just a shadow… it had no real importance. As of now Naraku had to worry about his next plan to lure the group to him.

The shadow felt him traveling through time and space. He'd have to poison the Jewel shard he had in his possession and bring it back to his real self. An eye peeked open and he realized he was floating through time and space… into the future most likely. One he closed them again he closed his eyes and hit something hard, he assumed it was the ground and just laid there.

"Are you okay??" a feminine voice kneeled next to him. He felt her move to push back the head of the Baboon's fur he wore and he grabbed the wrist of her hand and hard. He looked at her face and she was neither hurt nor scared just by looking at him. In fact her crystal blue eyes held concern from what he saw form under her silver-gold locks. "I know who you are." She said gently as he released her prepared to attack her. "You come from the warring period right?" He kept silent but getting closer to attacking her. "A trusted protector and friend of mine guards time and space. She had warned me about a man coming from the warring period appearing. That was all she was able to provide."

"…" He said thinking that her childish innocence would be the easiest to corrupt, if she was right about the time and space thing she might fall perfectly into his plan.

"Well, I am Neo-Queen Serenity… Welcome to Crystal Tokyo." She said watching him glow for a moment and smoke surrounded the area and when it died down he stood there grinning at her shock. His hair had turned long and was white; he had gorgeous orange eyes and ears that sat like dog's ears. He no longer wore the baboon fur but wore a Kimono type of outfit made from Fire Rat.

"I am Inuyasha." He said. She smiled warmly.

"Pleasure to meet you." She said.

"Serenity." A Deep manly voice interrupted the conversation.

"Inuyasha I would like to present you to the love of my life, Neo-King Endymion. Endymion this is Inuyasha. The one Triste said we should expect. I'll go tell the others." She said running off excitedly.

"She is very lively for a queen." 'Inuyasha' pointed out.

"I know… She has always been that way." Endymion agreed with a strange look at the one called Inuyasha. Just then Serenity came back.

"Ah forget it come with me!!!" She grabbed his arm and walked inside the crystal palace.

Many hours went by and everyone but Hotaru and Serenity could sense something was off about this man named Inuyasha. Aside form his rough appearance he seemed to have an evil air around him. Something wasn't right and they couldn't tell their queen differently because she was right most of the time, when it came to people. If she trusted them when everyone else thought negatively then there either had to be a copy of the person else where or the person was being under some sort of control.

"Serenity-sama…" The princess of Mars came into the queen's quarters accompanied by the other protectors.

"Hmm??" Serenity looked away from the conversation she was having with 'Inuyasha'. He had been telling her all about the warring periods and mildly suspicious of her when she subconsciously said things like… 'I remember hearing something like that' or something one would say trying to remember something.

"We need to talk you…"

"Excuse me for a moment, Inuyasha." Serenity said.

"Take your time." He said as she stepped out of the room leaving Hotaru there.

"Serenity-Sama… Please excuse my opinion, but there is something seriously wrong with that young man." Rei said. "Something is terribly off about his personality and the air around him. I've been getting vi-" She started only to get brushed off by the queen.

"You mean aside from the fact that he's half dog-demon, and comes from a time where demons originated?"

"What?!?!" The girls asked.

"Way back in the past there was a world where demon exterminators and priestesses with strange and unusual powers lived. They were needed because the land was inhibited with demons. Inuyasha comes from that time and had been sent through time and space by accident while fighting a demon for power. Inuyasha says he was separated from his friends all of them human. They were on a journey to destroy the greatest evil there... his name is Naraku. I already have Triste setting up a portal for him to go back to his friends; any worries will diminish just after dinner okay??" She said and the girls nodded with uncertainty but left none the less. She entered the room as Inuyasha was telling about a story including a man named Sesshoumaru. He spoke of the fight the real Inuyasha and another demon had after Naraku had given him the human arm to use the Tesusaiga with.

"So he took the…" Inuyasha noticed the Queen had returned and looked mildly troubled for a moment.

"Please continue don't stop on my account." Serenity said sitting down with her hand folded in her lap.

"He took the Tesusaiga and told me that I could never bring out the Tesusaiga's true power and to prove his point a he called out one hundred demons. He raised the sword and killed them all with one slash." He said almost wincing at the fact he's calling himself Inuyasha.

*~*~

Later that night just before Dinner Serenity was putting in her signature hair style and closed her eyes trying to remember a face. One that had been so important to her so many years ago… Why was it that she could only remember the smell of him and the warm breath he breathed when teasing her with light kisses?

"You miss him still don't you??" Hotaru asked.

"I will always miss hi m Hota-chan… kind of like how you miss the kistune." She said as Hotaru blushed.

"Even though Shippo and I were both too young to fully grasp the meaning of what it meant to be betrothed to one another we always seemed to connect perfectly."

"Your mother knew that when she approached his father with the deal. She just knew that despite he was a little fox-boy you two got along perfectly." Serenity sighed. "Sometimes I wish I could go back and be with my family… Kohaku, Sango… I miss them both." Serenity sighed. "And father… he could always see the fighter in me." She sighed putting a mask to her face. "Kohaku was only four when I left."

"So why don't we go back??" Hotaru asked. "I mean it wasn't fair that they took us from what our lives were supposed to be to play the part of what they wanted it to be."

"I wish it were that simple Taru-chan. We don't have a good enough reason to go." She said placing the old mask back in her subspace pocket, unaware of the ears that heard the whole conversation.

"I see… the queen is from the warring period. The imperial crystal of hers would do nicely to my true self's power." The false Inuyasha left his perch above the Queen's window and headed back inside the palace just outside of the Queens Quarters staring at one of the few jewel shards in his possession. When the door opened he immediately caught the woman's attention.

"Serenity-sama, as a token for inviting me into your kingdom I have a gift for you." He said.

"You don't have to do such a thing. Just knowing that you'll be back with your friends safely, to defeat this Naraku character."

"Please. It will make me feel more comfortable with myself." He said holding his hand out as she did.

"Serenity-sama, No!!!" Triste stepped out of her portal and watched the shard embed itself into her hand. "No…" She said watching how almost immediately the queen's stance fell into a less poised one and she took off running to where the Silver Crystal was. She rushed into the room and destroyed the glass covering on it, once in her grasp her clothes changed to her demon exterminator one. The part that covered her legs and arms were black and the rest of it had a silverish color to it. And she pulled the mask out of her subspace pocket and placed it on her face. Finally out of almost no where a huge star blade occupied the space on her back. With out a second's thought she rushed into the dining hall where the others had been waiting for her.

"You all must die..." She took the blade off her back and threw it slicing the dining table in half all the way down the other end of the room. When it returned it sliced right though Mercury's arm leaving only the bone sticking out of the wound. She caught the bloody blade and turned her sights on the other outers.

"Serenity-sama you must snap out of it!!" Triste yelled bring shocked faces to the others in the room. What were they supposed to do? Kill their best friend and Queen or let her kill them all? No time to think because the blade was returning hitting all of her targets… all but Hotaru who only smacked the blade back with her glaive. The blade came back and she perched it on her back and turned on Hotaru who was doing all she could to not hurt the one who knows her best. A swift kick to the gut and Serenity fell on the floor. She got up and the blade on her back had disappeared again. Screams of anguish finally snapped the psycho queen out of whatever she was under and she caught the blade in a manner that would've tried to cut her hand open if the silver crystal hadn't decided to protect her from flesh wounds then.

"No…." She fell to the floor eyes wide. She then saw the sadistic smile that played on his lips. Her eyes welled up with tears as she scanned over the motionless bodies. Amara had her back cut open and Michelle was bleeding from the scar trailing all the way up her leg. Rei had her stomach cut open so deep it looked almost irrevocable while Mina had what seemed her chest cut open and Ami's arm was hanging like a hinge. She looked at 'Inuyasha' with her eyes burning with hatred.

'Go on… hate me.' His smirk widened. 'You'll only power up the jewel inside of you' he thought but got struck from behind.

"SILENT GLAIVE SURPRISE!!!!" The energy hit him but being the shadow he is, felt almost nothing. He held his claws to Serenity's neck.

"You there… time guardian… I want a portal and I want it now." He threatened digging the claws into her necks drawing a minimal amount of blood. Triste looked at him and tapped her staff once as the portal opened and he took Serenity with him inside. Hotaru growled and was ready to storm in there.

"Hotaru…" Triste closed her eyes.

"Is she going to die??" Hotaru became afraid.

"No, but this might be the end of Neo Queen Serenity's reign." She said. "If you go back there you seal the original fate she was to have and the crystal will disappear and come to the new queen… me."

"What?!?!"

"When Selenity-sama saw that I had torn her from the life she had to live after the White Moon incident she knew that somehow she would have to return to that life… since I never had much of a chance at life it will be given to me when you go."

"Neither of us can come back??"

"No."

"I see…" Hotaru sighed and walked to the portal. "Just one step could decide it all. See you around Triste. Take care of everyone."
