Prologue: The Hanyou Named Inuyasha and the Maidens that Overcame Time Itself

"Come on, get real you guys! You don't honestly believe what Sota says about our well being cursed, do you? What happened to the oh so brave Kagurai sisters?" the fifteen year old girl with raven hair asked, raising an eyebrow. The two Americans exchanged a worried glance.

"Well. . . It IS kind of creepy in here, Kagome." ts he red haired girl stated, eying the well behind her friend warily. The blonde girl next to her nodded in agreement.

"Too true! So can we please just get the cat and go back up to the house, please?" she said, her sapphire eyes also fixed on the well. Kagome scoffed.

"I told you! Trinity, Alina, there's nothing to be scared of, so will you please get down here and help me look for Buyo? That dumb cat has to be in here somewhere." Trinity, the red head, rolled her blue-green eyes and sighed.

"Fine. But if anything freaky happens, I'm blaming you, Higurashi." she stated matter-of-factly. Kagome rolled her eyes in a "whatever" sort of way as Trinity came down the steps, her sister in towe.

"Trin, I have a bad feeling." she mumbled.

"Lina, chillax. I'm sure we'll be fine. Kagome's right. There's nothing to be afraid of. We were just being-" Trinity didn't have a chance to finish her speach of reassurance, because something broke through the boards sealing the top of the well and grabbed all three of them, yanking them into the well. That something was a centepede demoness. It tried to devour them, but somehow, Kagome had managed to push it away, allowing them to escape.

When they surfaced from the well, the three were no longer in Kagome's storeroom, but in the middle of a deep forest. Trinity gave Kagome an annoyed look.

"This is SO your fault." she stated. Of course, she was ignored, as Kagome decided to climb out of the well to look around. Alina sighed and helped her sister out of the well.

"Come on, Trin. Look at the bright side. This place is beautiful. Plus, who knows? Maybe we'll end up having a great adventure here." she said. Trinity snorted.

"Adventure? Yeah, right."

Of course, the beginning of this so-called "Adventure" wasn't quite what Alina had in mind. The three of them ended up getting captured by a group of hunters and taken to a nearby village. There, they were met by the village's head priestess; an elderly woman named Kaede. When they had explained their situation, Kaede told them of the legend of the Forest of Inuyasha. On the tree that Kagome had been standing on, there was an inu hanyou; a half dog demon sealed by the power of a sacred arrow. He had been trying to steal the Shikon no Tama when the previous head priestess had stopped him. But because of an injury she had obtained, she died. And for fifty years, the half-demon boy had been sealed. When Kaede had finished her tale, Trinity kept thinking back to the young man with the long silver hair and dog ears, his haori red like blood. In a way, she felt sorry for this Hanyou called Inuyasha. However, she didn't have long to dwell on her sympathy, because the demoness from before had returned, and was attacking the village.

It hadn't been long before Trinity, Alina, and Kagome had found themselves back in the forest of Inuyasha. While they were running, Kagome had fallen to the ground. Trinity and Alina wasted no time in rushing to aid her.

"What's the matter Kikyo? Normally you would have no problem with a demon like her." the trio looked up to find out where the male voice was coming from. What they saw was a pair of golden eyes staring down at them, their owner smirking coldly.

"I'm not Kikyo! My name is Kagome!" Kagome snapped irritably up at him. Before Inuyasha could make a remark back to her, the body of the centepede coiled fast around them, pinning all of them to the tree, against Inuyasha.

Despite how the situation seemed, the centepede was defeated by Inuyasha; who Kagome had set free from the fifty year old seal. This didn't bode well for Trinity, however, as when she picked up the sacred jewel (which had somehow shot out of Kagome's side) Inuyasha began to chase her, determined to end her life and take the Shikon no Tama. If it hadn't been for the power of Priestess Kaede, he would have succeeded. With her power, the old priestess had managed to place a set of magic beads around the hanyou's neck. To Kagome, she said,

"Quickly child! Subdue his fury!" And so, Kagome shouted the only thing she could think of. And those subduing words that saved Trinity's life were:

"SIT BOY!" With a *WHAM!* a very confused (and extremely aggrivated) Inuyasha faceplanted into the bridge that he had Trinity cornered on.
