AN: The poem is mine but the story is not. All credit goes to Rumiko Takahashi for the Inuyasha storyline. So, this poem is obviously just a reflection from a narrator's perspective, don't read too much into it. And if you like it I'd be happy to hear from you!

Tale of the Dog-Demon

He was killed

And she as well

Then their souls were left in Hell

He, a thief, left her nothing but pain

And in the end by her hand was slain

Fifty years pass

No hope of peace

Before he found a way of release

His savior, a girl from a modern age

Withdrew the curse to keep a monster at bay

This task completed, he turned again

To take the Jewel that had been his end

But a village woman knew well his plot

And instead of a gem, 'twas a spell that he got

So he was stuck with this modern-day girl

Whose arrow had shattered the magical pearl

Now they must search for every last part

Before another can reclaim the Shards.
