Prelude - Who am I?

There were bright lights. First, gathering together in a ball of light before scattering about my eyelids. I could feel my body being strangely twisted as if two giant hands wrenched at my poor defenseless body. The pain was unbearable.

A soft wail escaped my lips. Or at least I thought it did. No sound whispered from me. I tried to open my eyes but it was like they were glued shut. Why couldn't the pain just go away?! I cried out in agony for it to stop.

Thrashing at my captor, I crashed my body about but my claws and teeth sunk into nothing but air around me. What the hell was going on? The hands started the pain back up again before tearing something from my soul. What was he doing? What was I losing? No! I felt the desire to hunt that being down and tear him limb from limb. He stole something from me and I would never forgive him for it.

Energy surrounded me as if swooping me off to some distant area. Wind whipped in my hair; a sense of loss filled my heart. I didn't want to go there. I didn't want to leave the only place I knew was safe. I had no choice.

Quickly I dropped into a forest. Though I didn't know it till I actually attempted to open my swollen eyes. The air was thick and foggy. Anything visible still wouldn't be seen. I tried to use my voice but…nothing came out. I started to sob silently in a mute howl of my miserable life. Why had this happened to me? Why did I feel so alone?

A cold chill whipped around me, burrowing into my skin. This rattled me to the very bones. A voice in the darkness…whispered in my ear…

"You're lost…you can never go home…"

At first I didn't know what it meant. I must have looked pretty dumb with that silent, dumbstruck face. Spending several minutes of sitting on the cold and damp ground, I began to hallucinate. I AM lost I told myself but the voice was right. I could never go home. What home did I even have to go to? I shook myself uncontrollable to get the thought away then stared off in la la land.

Wha? Where am I? What happened?…

There came no reply but the wind in the trees. I guessed I sat in a forest and I could tell I existed to be alone. Not even the birds sang around me. Kinda creepy, if you ask me. Wobbly I got up on all fours and stared at the darkness. I tried to think what happened before I woke up. I wanted to know what happened to me. There's nothing you can do, I told myself. I wondered, was my true self this depressing? Heck! I didn't even know my name let alone anything about myself.

"INUYASHA!"

Oddly enough I turned around. InuYasha? Is that my name? A woman stood on just the other side of the clearing. She was tall and lean and good-looking too. Her attire consisted of those Shinto priestesses. She aimed a bow at me. Directly at my heart. Why was she aiming at me? Maybe I'm some sort of murderer or something.
