Prologue: The War of Heaven
Thunder roared and Lightening flashed in the heavens. A great battle was raging against all of the Heavenly court and one lone demon.
"HAHAHAH!" the brazen youth cackled as he struck down yet another golden armored warrior. His mighty sword pulsed as the youth channeled his yokai through the great blade. A blade that had once belonged to another as fierce and dangerous.
The boy, dressed in the red robe of the fire rat and red hakamas landed in the destroyed courtyard of the celestial palace. His golden eye, glowing in the fire around him, surveyed the destruction he had wrought.
"Come on out old man!" The boy yelled his fangs bore maliciously as he walked closer to the main hall where the Jade Emperor held court.
A war cry came from the left and without so much as a glance the demon slashed the-would-be threat and ended his life.
"Are you scared old man?" the boy asked no one as the chaos raged around him wonderfully. He loved it, it was in his blood, the blood of a demon. He then raised his sword and the large weapon crashed back down to earth.
"Jade Emperor prepare yourself. WIND SCAR!"
Once the dust cleared the demon boy looked up and saw the shimmering golden robes of the Jade Emperor. the old deity looked down with dark blue eyes that held distain and disgust.
The silver haired boy smirked as he lifted his demon sword, his inheritance from his great and terrible father.
"Hello beloved grandfather," the demon taunted. "I've come to claim my rightful place in heaven."
The Emperor sighed. "You are no grandson of mine, half breed." The Jade Emperor declared. "You are just the bastard son of a whore that I had once called daughter."
The demon snarled as hatred glowed from his golden eyes like the fires of hell itself.
"Don't." the boy growled. "Don't you EVER talk about my mother!"
then he slammed his sword onto the ground. Destructive light raced across the earth of heaven and slammed into the Jade palace. The first wall crumbled and the Jade Emperor floated down from his high perch and landed before the wrathful youth.
"Before she was your mother she was my child. Your father tainted her and turned her from her place in the heavens. It is only her blood that runs in your veins that keeps you from suffering the same fate as your sinful father."
Then the Emperor lifted his hands and made the gesture of the Buddha while chanting an entrapment spell.
The boy had no chance to retaliate or protect himself before he was thrown to earth and sealed to tree.
The Emperor landed in front of the tree and simply looked into te face of the half demon that dared to attack the heavenly host.
The demon glared. "Well what are you waiting for you old bastard? KILL ME!" Never had InuYasha felt so angry or so betrayed. "Kill me like you killed her, like you killed my mother."
"InuYasha, Son of the demon king, I here by decree you will remained sealed to this tree, this sacred tree, until the time comes when you have found the desire to protect and not destroy."
Suddenly InuYasha's eyes got heavy and as the Emperor walked away another person came into the half demon's line of sight. A woman, dressed in heavenly robes.
"Ki-Kikyo." The half demon slurred. The woman smiled and then laughed.
"You stupid half breed. You fell for it."
Then another person, a man, a demon, came up behind the woman and as he embraced her small wait the woman's celestial appearance melted away to reveal a dark kimono, a demon lady's kimono.
"Na-Naraku?!" Suddenly something clicked and InuYasha knew he had been tricked and betrayed, he had been used.
"You ba-bastared,"
"Now I will be King of the demons and you," Naraku then lifted Kikyo's chin and kissed her mouth. "You will be my queen."
Kikyo turned to InuYasha and smiled. "Have a nice rest half breed."
And as InuYasha's eyes drooped closed the couple walked away and suddenly smoke appeared and engulfed the pair and they disappeared.
His last thoughts as the sun set and his eyes closed forever was one of self-hatred.
"A fool," he snarled at himself mentally as emotional pain racked his paralyzed body. "I'm a damned fool."
A/N: Okay so I haven't written in a while. My last computer crashed and I had to save for a new one and, it's just been crazy okay. This is an idea I've played around loosely based off of the tale of the journey to the west crossed with beauty and the beast. I'll do my best to write and update but it might take a while to get chapters out. Please let me know what you all think of this first chapter.
I make no profit from this work and all characters belong to their prospective creators.
