Lunny: Okay, so here's the deal. BEFORE I finish up "Renewed Time" I am publishing the Prologue for each of the five stories I have in the works…based on the votes in the poll the following TWO WEEKS, dictates on which story will take the spotlight first… (For example if The Phantomhive Opera gets the most votes it'll be the first to be completed….) So, vote based on the Prologue and the Summary given in my Profile...please.
Solarius: Your input and cooperation is greatly appreciated.
Cold: Now…the Prologue for "There's Something Wrong Here"…

Prologue
In a city run by demons, Izayoi found it dangerous to follow your heart. She married one demon out of necessity and then after six children (some of which weren't even by her) she finds the man that she truly feels love for. After a passionate courtship between them; her husband granted her a divorce convincing her that he wasn't as heartless as everyone thought.
She dated the other man for two years before finding she was with child; keeping the child secret from all involved she was safe. Her ex-husband showed his true colors after five years, she received a threatening letter and knew it to be a guarantee.
Izayoi West* glanced back quickly at the Saimyosho, slender men with wasp like wings folded along their backs as they stalked her and her 5 year old son, InuYasha. The woman glanced down at the innocent child who was the spitting image of his father. He had silver hair with a small pair of puppy ears and amber-gold eyes all traits he inherited from his father.
The women stopped as she walked into the cities darker area, the Saimyosho were right behind her stalking her movements. Clutching her young sons hand she knew that those men wouldn't stop until she and her son were dead.
"InuYasha, when I tell you too…run and don't look back. All right?" she muttered down to him. The child looked up in wonderment.
"Why momma?" he asked.
"Just please, do as I say." her voice was trembling and pleading.
"I will." he promised.
Izayoi smiled at him and as they came to a corner she knew, she let go of his hand. The Saimyosho acted as they started to charge forward. Pushing him gently into a nearby alley Izayoi watched as the child stumbled forward.
"Tractus! I know you're here…watch out for InuYasha! Please!" Izayoi cried as the Saimyosho came upon her.
InuYasha turned and saw his mother's last moments, feeling hands grab his shoulders the child looked up into bright violet eyes in a whirl of black. Tractus picked up the traumatized child and whisked him into the darkness of the city that even Naraku Nether would never step into.
~2 years later~
7 year old, InuYasha sat as he looked at a newspaper picture of his father; Taisho West**, elder half-brother Sesshomaru and step-mother Inukimi. Tractus walked up next to the young child, her short black hair sweeping to the left side of her head and bright violet eyes focused on the child. She sat down and looked at the picture.
"Tractus, what's my Dad like?" the child asked.
"A lot like you. He's headstrong, stubborn and never gives up." Tractus said with a smile.
"So…he misses Mom too?" InuYasha muttered.
"I would assume. What brought that question on?" Tractus asked looking at him from the side.
"I'm not going to reveal myself…I found out that the Saimyosho work for some guy named Naraku Nether. I wanna get back at him for murdering Mom." InuYasha said with a slight growl. Tractus noted the red hue to his bright eyes.
"Really?" she inquired.
"Yeah." Was the flat answer she received.
"Then my idea will work." Tractus sounded proud.
"What idea?" InuYasha asked looking at her.
"The best way to get back at someone in power around here…is to steal from them bit by bit until they're most prized thing is uncovered. I'm working on a list of things that will reach that goal…it'll take time, but-" Tractus smiled in surprise as the child jumped in his seat in excitement.
"Let's do it!" the child cried.
"We got to gather our group and we need to train you up some kiddo." The elder female said playfully ruffling the child's long hair.
InuYasha looked at the picture of his Dad, "When I get back at Naraku…then I'll reveal myself to my Dad. Wonder if he even knows I exist?"
Tractus never answered the child, for she knew that Taisho was searching franticly for the child that was revealed to him by Izayoi's Will. It took all of her connections to keep him hidden and frankly she was getting irritated by Taisho's constant search.
"All right InuYasha…" she walked away and turned to see the child smile at the picture of the family he never knew, crossing her arms she muttered to herself "There's something wrong here…"***

Lunny: Whew…side notes:
*Leave me alone…I don't know what the Japanese word for West is…
**Its part of his title! I know it's not his real name, but I never learned it!
***What do you think she means by that?
Solarius: These Prologues are getting shorter I think…
Lunny: STFU!
