Prologue and Author's Notes

 

*****WARNING*****

What you are about to read contains spoilers for the last episode of Inuyasha (#167). If you do not wish to know what happens, then don't read this fanfic. It picks up where the original Inuyasha left off.

 

Important people and events:

 

Akano and Hakudoshi: Two halves of the same baby created by Naraku. Split in two by a powerful monk while trying to find the last fragment of the Shikon Jewel. Akano is now Naraku's heart and Hakudoshi is a powerful little kid.

 

Ghost Stone: The last place Inuyasha and Naraku faced off (#167). It's a huge demon turned to stone on the side of a mountain. Naraku brings it back to life with his almost complete Shikon Jewel.

 

Steel Blaster: New attack for Tetsusaiga; a diamond shard gun learned after killing Housenki. It is capable of breaking Naraku's new barrier.

 

Housenki: Friend to Inuyasha's father and creator of the black pearl located in Inuyasha's right eye. The black pearl lead to Inuyasha's father's tomb in episode 6. He died and became a part of Inuyasha's father's skeleton in the dead realm. Make up completely of diamonds.

 

Kanna: Everyone should know who this is. She is entrusted with watching over Akano. Last seen fleeing from one of Kikyo's arrows and being caught by Hakudoshi's monster Moryoumaru.

 

Moryoumaru: Hakudoshi's monster. Looks mostly human & contains human spirits (like Kikyo's) but is created by many demon parts. Incredibly difficult to kill considering it can change its shape at will.

 

Obscure Stone: Fist sized blue orb held by Akano. It masks his scent from demons. Originally located in a mountain sized demon that used it to not fight. Inuyasha and the gang meet him, and he gives them scent crystals which turn from green to white as they get closer to the obscure stone. Killed by a group of young demon slayers after Naraku removed it. Kagura is the last person with a scent crystal that we know of.

 

Jewel of Four Souls: AKA the Shikon Jewel. Naraku holds the nearly completed and purely evil stone. Kouga still posses his two, Kohaku has one keeping him alive, and the gang has the last one from the Realm of the Dead.

 

Sesshomaru: Everyone's favorite bad-ass demon. After fighting with Inuyasha in the Realm of the Dead and nearly killing Naraku, he continues his search with Rin and Jaken following behind.

 

Miroku: DUH!! But in later episodes, he and Songo promise themselves to each other. Only to happen after Naraku is defeated. (Yes he used the line and she said yes) A/N: If you don't know what line I'm speaking of, watch any episode of Inuyasha with Miroku in it, and then you'll understand.

 

 

That's if for the notes, we'll wrap up the last episode here to let everyone get up to speed. OUR DISCLAIMER: WE DO NOT OWN INUYASHA, no matter how much we wish it. THIS IS PURELY A FAN FIC BASED ON CHARACTERS FROM THE CREATIVE GENIUS THAT IS RUMIKO TAKAHASHI.

 

*PROLOGUE*

 

The story picks up right after the very last real episode of Inuyasha (#167). After defeating the Panther gang Inuyasha goes to track down Naraku. Along the way, Kohaku reanimates the infamous 7 men group. These mercenaries were put to death before they could get too powerful. They are no seemingly unbeatable thanks to Naraku's generous use of 9 jewel shards (3 for the leader). Eventually all of the members are defeated and Inuyasha and the gang find themselves in Naraku's new breeding pit. He has morphed and combined many demons' to make himself yet another body. This body is almost invincible and his new barrier is immune to the Wind Scar and the Backlash Wave. In the process a baby boy is also expelled and given to Kagura. Naraku finds Kikyo's and almost kills her and of course Inuyasha doesn't want to believe it. The child that was expelled is Naraku's heart. His live essence. Therefore Naraku cannot be killed unless the child is destroyed. This child has the ability to see into people's minds as they die. He is looking for the last jewel shard which is located in the Realm of the Dead. This boy is split into two parts by a powerful monk after he is attacked. Akano (read above description) and Hakudoshi (ditto).

 

Several episodes later, Inuyasha tracks Naraku to the Ghost Stone. There Inuyasha and the gang are trapped in the gut of a demon. In a last ditch effort to escape, Inuyasha uses their fragment of the Shikon Jewel and puts it on Tetsusaiga. This is what Naraku was hoping for, since the power of the evil jewel that Naraku has is stronger than that one fragment, it turns Inuyasha into a full demon. Kagome runs out and embraces him and brings him back to normal. Her proximity to the shard purifies it and it begins to shine bright. Her feet are hurt in the process due to the ghost's stomach acid. Inuyasha powers up and uses the Steel Blaster and rips open the ghost's stomach, nearly taking Naraku with it. Alas they escape and accuse Kagura of leading them there (which she did) but they let her live.

 

This is where the journey ends with the team running into the sunset (Naraku unbeaten), vowing that the adventures are not over and that Naraku must be defeated.

 

This is where our story begins……

CHAPTER 1 “WHATS FOR DINNER”

 

With hopeful and encouraging remarks, our heroic team run off into the sunset. Not knowing what the road ahead of them will bring….

 

~Night Fall~

 

The group decides to turn in for the night after the long day of traveling.

 

“Sigh”

 

“Inuyasha has really surprised me these last couple of days.” Kagome thinks. “Ever since my feet got burned from the acid in the Ghost Stone, he's almost been…human. I'm glad to know that he does have a softer side.” She smiles quietly.

 

Kagome is sitting in front of a fire and revels in her thoughts as the others set out for food. There was a stream near by, so fish would be dinner. Miroku, Songo, and Kirara set out in one group and Shippo and Inuyasha in another. Kagome, knowing that Kirara would be the only one returning with fish. Miroku, being his lecherous self, would cop a feel and soon after would be rendered unconscious. Shippo and Inuyasha would begin to bicker and forget why they came to the stream in the first place.

 

*Stream Side*

 

Miroku, Songo, and Kirara venture to the north side of the stream, each walking one behind the other.

 

“Must…think….pure….thoughts.” Miroku says to himself as he watches Songo's butt swish this way and that. “Just one little touch wouldn't hurt…would it?”

 

Just as Miroku extends his hand, Sango makes a sharp left and….

 

SPLASH

 

“This looks like a good spot, don't you think?” Songo announces while turning around. She realizes that the monk is nowhere in sight. “Miroku? Where are you?”

 

Song looks around and finds the monk face first in the stream.

 

“How did you get there?” Songo asks innocently.

 

“I, uh, well you see, I….tripped.” Miroku stumbles to answer quickly and as honestly as he can.

 

“Right!?!” Songo replies with concern in her voice. “Well, let's get dinner and get back. I don't like leaving Kagome alone.”

 

“Very true!” Miroku agrees inching ever closer to Songo.

 

~Squeaky, Squeaky~ (Hand groping ass)

 

SMACK!!!!!!!

 

“Bad idea.” Miroku says as he falls to the ground.

 

“That lecherous monk!!!! I swear one of these days he's gonna get hit and not wake up!” Says a blood red Songo. “Kirara, have you gotten anything?”

 

Kirara nods and that is good enough for Songo. She looked at the prostrate monk, picks him up and throws him on Kirara's back. They proceed back to camp with Songo still brewing over the encounter.

 

*Down stream*

 

“Awe….I wanted to stay with Kagome!!!” Shippo whines as he sulks behind Inuyasha.

 

“What are you talking about?” Inuyasha asked incredulously

 

“Kagome would much rather put up with my whining than listen to your criticism!” Shippo snapped back.

 

As the veins in Inuyasha's forehead began to rise, he punched Shippo in the forehead. A tine red lump appeared atop his head.

 

“OWWW, what'd you do that for?” Shippo cried

 

“Because I felt like it squirt…problem?” Inuyasha returned

 

The two stare each other down for several minutes. They begin exchanging blows and running back to camp.

 

*Back at camp*

“So, what for dinner?” Inuyasha asks innocently.

 

Everyone looked at him like he had completely lost his mind.

 

“Inuyasha, do you remember why you went down to the stream?” Kagome asked.

 

“Of course I do!” Inuyasha said and then started pondering the question and thinking up a quick answer, “You told Shippo and me to go wash-up…right?”

 

Kagome sat looking at Inuyasha, astounded at his answer. She softly smiled and curled her finger, urging him to come closer. Inuyasha, thinking he answered correctly, did as instructed and came closer.

 

“Inuyasha…” Kagome said sweetly.

 

“Yes, Kagome?” Inuyasha replied curiously.

 

“SIT BOY!” Kagome yelled.

 

WHAM (Inuyasha kisses dirt)

 

“You were supposed to get some fish for dinner! SIT!”

 

WHAM (Deeper into the ground he goes)

 

“But no, the only ones who brought anything back were Sango and Kirara. SIT!!!!”

 

WHAM (Nice crater now)

 

“I swear sometimes the only person you think of is you!!! SIT!!! SIT!!! SIT!!! SIT!!!”

 

WHAM, WHAM, WHAM, WHAM (Welcome to painville)

 

“I don't think I've heard Kagome say sit quite like that before.” Sango stated.

 

“Well, that's what he gets!” Shippo stated. “All he had to do was tell the truth. Oh, wait, I don't think he knows what the truth is.”

 

“Sad, but true.” Miroku agreed. “It's too bad, because he was doing so well up until then.”

 

Everyone agreed as they ate their dinner and Inuyasha peeled himself out of his newest sitting position.

 

 

Next time….hot springs

That's it for chapter one, don't worry, it will get better I promise. This is our first attempt at Fan Fic, so please R&R this for us. We look forward to your comments.
