This is my first fan fiction ever. Please comment and let me know what you liked and didn't like. I am planning on writing and drawing out my own series of anime soon, so I am using this as a tool to help me get ideas. I will put up drawings of the main character of this fanfic as soon as I color her.

I know this is frustrating but this chapter to me is the most essential. I wanted you guys to get a feel of the character before I threw her out into the feudal era and into Sesshomaru's arms. As annoying as it may be, please read this first chapter to get to know her a bit. Thanks

I have no intention of making profit out of this story, since the anime Inu-Yasha and all the characters in this fan fiction do not belong to me (except for the protagonist, her mother, and Damian of course). Enjoy.

-Cast…

Chapter 1:

A New Beginning

"The room is cold and dark. I'm wearing a hoodie and some boy shorts. Hail is falling violently as if it were the end of the world. I'm guessing it is cold, but I am numb to the pain...

If you ignore pain you don't feel it. Is cold pain? I sit motionless in front of my bedroom window...staring...hoping to see the same people that passed by that day. The day that I lost

Damian. No, I didn't lose him. He left me...I know my heart is breaking... but, where are the tears?"

"Stop moping and get out of here." her mother said throwing a pillow at her.

"I'm not moping . I'm just...tired." She stared at the wall full of martial arts trophies that she received during her life as a martial arts student in China.

"...and broken hearted." Her mother says as she stares into her blue eyes.

"I know that look. Why don't you hang out with May today? That's what best friends are for." She caresses her daughters' dark brown hair.

"I don't want any friends." She said as she dug her face into the pillows.

"The girl that I thought was my friend is dating my ex-boyfriend. Shoot me now!"

Her mother reaches into her pocket as if she was looking for something.

"I have something for you."

"Is it a gun?" She says through the pillows.

"Lena! I was going to give this to you after the photo shoot with Damian, but it seems that that won't be happening." She pulls out a little paper and waves it around her daughter's head.

"One week in Tokyo!"

Suddenly, the Lena jumps up.

"Japan?"

"You have to promise to call."

"When?" She had a huge smile on her face.

"Tomorrow."

"I'm going to start packing! You're the best mom!" The young girl scurries through her room. Her mother smiles. The girl stops, turns to her mother and hugs her.

"I love you mom."

"I love you too, Lena."

Lena arrived in Japan exhausted yet excited. She picked up her belongings and called for a taxi to take her to her hotel. She checked in and was escorted to her room. She went into her room and slowly unpacked. The room was nice. A king size bed all to herself. A huge bathroom, a walk in closet and a balcony with the view of…

"What!" she felt her heart shribble.

Her balcony had the view of a huge poster of "Dark Passion" cologne and the gorgeous male model Damian Clark.

"Damian, why have you come to haunt me? If you no longer love me, then why do you follow?"

She closed the doors to the balcony and sat on the bed. Suddenly she had a sudden urge to explore. She decided that she wanted to start out fresh and purify her soul.

"I can't be miserable. Not here in Japan. This is MY vacation from reality. I'm sure nobody knows who
Damian is. Even if he is one of the hottest celebrities in America."

She put on her high wasted black skinny pants, black equestrian boots, black t-shirt and her favorite beige leather jacket that she bought with the money she made at her first modeling photo shoot.

She walked around Tokyo and found a little incense shop.

"This should be nice. A little incense and a lucky charm to help me move on to the next chapter of life."

As soon as she said that people started staring and pointing at her.

"What the hell? I thought people in Japan were nice." She said to herself.

"Hey, you're Damian Clarks' ex girlfriend!"

"Ex-girlfriend? How…?" She was shocked that the news had spread out so fast in less than 48 hours.

"He made it public. See?" the young girl turns around and points to the giant TV screen on one of the tall buildings.

"AHH!" Lena's mouth drops.

-It's only been a couple of days.-

On the screen was Damian and May embracing each other during an interview. Lena's heart shatters.

"Love Charms! Love Charms! Want to fall in love?" The lady from the incense shop dangles a couple of weird charms and gems.

"Love Charms? Do you have anything that will take me away from this cruel world?" she frowns.

"What could be so bad to make you feel that way child?" Lena pulls the charm lady out and points to the repeated interview of her beloved.

"That man..is my love."

"Yes." The charm lady nodded.

"and that was my best friend." The lady looked at Lena and mimicked her frown.

"Oh yeah, there is nothing here for you." The charm lady said as she walked away.

"Huh? Thanks for the inspiration."

As soon as she was about to walk out, she is stopped by the owner of the shop.

"STOP!" an older woman calls out to Lena.

"Come here. Don't listen to her. She is crazy. Too much incense." She leads Lena into the back of the shop where the old lady takes out a box with a dragon engraved on the top.

"We are in Japan, but I believe in Chinese Zodiac. What you be child?" she turns her gaze to Lena.

Lena takes out her dragon necklace that she received from her martial arts master while in China.

"Dragon."

The old lady smiles.

"I knew you were dragon. I felt you coming." She pulls out a pendant from the dragon box.

"This is dragon amulet used in ancient times by monks and priestess. It is said that its wielder has power to reveal time. I am dragon too, but amulet only brings bad luck." Lena raised her left eyebrow.

"Then why do I want it if it brings bad luck? I already have it bad as it is." She turned around.

"No! I know you're the one. For 100 American dollars I give to you. Take it! You will be happy Dragon."

"Happy?" Lena looks at the screen again. She sees Damian kiss May.

-Anything will do at this point.-

Lena thinks to herself as she searches her purse for her wallet.

"I can't believe I'm doing this. Here, 100 American dollars like you said." She hands the old lady the cash. The old lady ties the amulet around Lena's neck.

"Keep it close to your heart and you'll see!"

Lena sighs, thanks the old lady and leaves the shop.

"Are you really getting rid of that thing?"

"Yeah, it's useless." The owner says to her partner.

"So, the story is not true?"

"Bits and pieces. Most of it I made up as with the accent."

After 3 hours of exploring and evading Damian fan girls; Lena returns to her hotel room.

"Why do I feel like this amulet is a fake? Urgh! I'm returning it tomorrow. Why am I torturing myself over a boy? Over a stupid boy with gorgeous green eyes, tempting lips, sexy voice, ripped body and a God in bed? AAAGH! ENOUGH!" Lena Waltzes into the bathroom and looks into the mirror.

"He'll never have someone love him the way I did!" she leaned over the counter to look closer into the mirror.

"You'll never break me Damian! Never!"

Lena laughs uncontrollably and then her laugh turns into a sigh.

"Who am I kidding? I probably deserved it."

Lena takes hold of the Dragon amulet in her right hand and presses it to her heart.

"Urgh! Get me out of this world!" In that instant everything turned black.

"What's going on?"

The darkness turns into a blue light and then…

"Aah! Ugh! Lena tumbles into a tree and falls into a field of grass. She lifts her head up to take a look at her surroundings but her attempts are in vain as everything turns black completely.
