LOOK AT THIS: There is one thing that has been brought up since I was writing this fic. Yes, everyone in this story keeps their original Japanese names. I did do some Internet surfing to find a Japanese-to-German or Japanese-to-Polish translations of the names but I couldn't find squat. I hope that it doesn't get too confusing when I start getting the characters to talk like they are from central Europe. If you read the Maus books then you know what kind of angle is being used for this story. Review please!

Chapter One

Krakow, November 1940

The dropping temperatures brought silence to the busy Krakow Ghetto. Unknown to the Jews that resided there, the Krakow Ghetto would soon be sealed off so no Jew could ever leave again.

Sesshomaru was working with the Einsatzgruppen out east terrorizing occupied lands and killing every Jew in sight. He got to take leave and came to Krakow. The last batch of deported Jews from Germany, his homeland, would be arriving to the ghetto to be sealed off with the others. Now Germany would be free of the vermin.

He found only the Gestapo and their dogs roaming the ghetto streets for some Jew to torment only to find no one. Some of Gestapo became too impatient and went into a few random homes shooting everyone and then came back out.

Like children stopping an ice cream truck, the Gestapo rushed to the main gate where a massive truck was pulling in. Sesshomaru took his time and slowly walked over to the crowd. Fearful Jewish eyes peered out of the truck as officers began to unload their cargo. They roared at the Jews like lions forcing them out into lines set up in the main street to distribute new ID cards and Stars of David.

Sesshomaru walked up and down the registration lines till he heard the name he had been waiting for.

"Inuyasha…"

Immediately, Sesshomaru went over and grabbed the man slapping a worker's patch on his arm. The man at the registration table nodded and soon two guards took Inuyasha by the sides over to one white building on the left. It was the Ghetto Administration Office where no regular Jew was allowed in. Inuyasha was taken to the main hall. Sesshomaru came up behind him.

"I just saved your life, half-brother. Why don't you try thanking me?" Sesshomaru kicked his half-Jewish brother in the back and walked out of the Ghetto.

Krakow 1942

The Jews in the Krakow Ghetto were shocked that they have been sealed off from the outside world. Now the people began to starve and perish. The Gestapo became in charge of the food supply. Which consists of only 300 calories worth of soup and bread a day.

Inuyasha got work distributing food to the people, but it was no different than living like everyone else. He would just get better food. He couldn't believe this was what his older brother called 'saving his life'. He hated having a Jewish mother and now he was suffering for it. After one Jewish girl collected her soup and bread she caused some commotion by accidentally dropping her large bowl of soup on the street causing it to spill everywhere. Some the food line broke up and lots of people began bending to the ground licking all the soup they could. The Gestapo had to come in and break it up. The girl who dropped her bowl of soup fled the scene in fear of being severely punished. She knew she wouldn't get anymore food that day.

Inuyasha quickly ate his dinner after work and went outside. They wouldn't let him sleep in the Administration Office and there were very few places to live. It was still awfully cold to sleep outside and most of the Jews that did got tormented by the Gestapo on night watch. He found a quiet alley with no one in sight and settled down having only his coat to warm him. Once in a while he saw a Jew near the Ghetto wall getting smuggled goods from the outside. It was the perfect place to do so, but most Jews did not have much knowledge of getting smuggled food without getting caught.

"I told you. I don't want to eat!" A female voice was screaming inside a building somewhere. Inuyasha lifted his ear towards the noise.

"Kagome, please don't shout."

"It's my fault I dropped my soup today, and I have to take responsibility. So eat your bread mother!" Kagome stormed out of the back of the building. "And I don't care who hears me," she muttered to herself. There were no backlights, so Kagome heart stopped when she saw a shadow to her right. She sighed when she saw the Star of David on his arm.

"Hey, aren't you cold?" She asked him

"Feh, I think it's obvious that I am," Inuyasha said to himself.

The back door opened to reveal a woman over Kagome.

"Kagome, please come inside. You'll freeze to death."

"Mother," said Kagome. "Can he come in?" She was referring to Inuyasha sitting on the ground. "Of course he can," her mother said. "Please come in." Inuyasha followed the two women inside.

"Would you like some bread?" Mrs. Higurashi asked Inuyasha. "Nah, I had plenty to eat today. You should have it."

Inuyasha sat in a broken chair at a table. Most of the people in the building were already asleep. Only Kagome's little brother Souta was in the kitchen asleep. Mrs. Higurashi went to get a blanket. Kagome sat across from Inuyasha. "You don't look very Jewish."

"I'm half," he muttered.

"Oh? I'm sorry. It must be bad to not have any pure blood."

"Not the end of the world. My full-blooded German bro thinks he's helping me out. But I'm just wastin' away like everyone else." Inuyasha leaned back. "No offense. I'm not really proud of being Jewish."

"None taken," said Kagome.

Inuyasha had his hands fiddling around in his pocket and found some ration cards he collected from people today. He put them on the table. "Here, you guys should keep these."

"Wha? Are you sure?" she asked him.

"Well they don't give out many I can tell you that and who knows how long we will be here."

Kagome took the ration cards with a smile of gratitude on her face. Then she looked to Inuyasha. "Hey, do you think things could get any worse than this?"

The half-Jew paused in thought. "I dunno. But, we may have to brace ourselves for the inevitable."

Warsaw, December 1942

Sango walked along the walls in wait. Most of the guards were in the Ghetto square drinking. Finally a bag titled from the top of the wall. Sango quickly went to catch it. She went into an alley to open the bag. It contained a good amount of shells, ammunition, and a couple of rifles. There was also a note inside which she read:

Hello friend,

I am merely a monk at a nearby Catholic monastery. I know this is going against every commandment but I am strongly sympathetic toward your cause and found some distributors to donate their weapons for you. I am also providing some food if it will help you survive. If you run into any trouble our church provides sanctuary to everyone, including Jews. Good luck with your cause and God Bless.

There was no name left on the note. She quickly took the bag back to her home where the food inside was stored and the rifles and ammunition were sorted out among the people inside. They were a Jewish Resistance Group who planned to fight off the Nazis in hopes of gaining their freedom.

Sango's father was the first to speak. "I say about half of the entire Ghetto has already been emptied out and shipped off to the camps. Soon they will be coming here. We have enough weapons and food, and now we shall barricade ourselves inside this house."

Sango and her brother Kohaku grabbed planks to woods to nails onto the windows. Their "pet" Kirara played with a ball of yarn on the ground. They worked at night and as quietly as they could. They would have to ration the food very little by little and prayed to live to see their uprising become a success.

Okay so we understand what's going on here? Inuyasha is a half-Jew who was sent to live in the Krakow Ghetto where Kagome is at and Sango is at the Warsaw Ghetto where her family is planning to take part in that famous uprising. Man, I am so sick. I'm supposed to be doing a paper hahaha. And I have other stories to update, but we were learning about the Holocaust in History so BAMN I got a muse. R/R please!
