Long ago, the world was ruled by three great and powerful warriors. The east was governed by The Great Dog demon, the isles of the south lived in peace under the protection of Princess Mizu of the water demons, but the west was a different tale entirely. Long before the birth of Inu-Yasha or even Seshomaru, The Great Dog demon united the world of demons for the first time under the rule of one demon lord, himself. But as history proves time and time again, days of peace are always numbered. From the lands of the north marched a mighty army led by the tyrannical Yevon Redstone, hellbent on enslaving the world, and slaughtering all who apposed him. For two hundred years the demonic armies waged war upon each other, until The Great Dog demon was forced to retreat to his homeland in the east. Wallowing in own sickening glory, Lord Redstone burned every palace and temple devoted to the former ruler, and claimed the western lands for himself. In the confusion of war, the southern isles were quickly seized by Princess Mizu. The Great Dog demon could only watch helplessly as his once peaceful kingdom divided itself into three mighty nations standing on the brink of war.

"Inu-Yasha..." Kagome said hesitantly " What do you know about this Princess Mizu person?" "Not much." He replied. "How about you Myoga?" Myoga cleared his throat pompously " Princess Mizu is one of the most powerful demons alive, and she is also queen of the southern isles." "Feh." Inu-yasha scoffed. "I can beat her. We had better get going if we want to get to her by nightfall." "Master Inu-Yasha!" Myoga protested " Not even your father could defeat her!" Kagome gasped " Now that she has a Shikon jewel shard, she'll be even more powerful than your father fought her!" "My old man was a wuss" Inu-Yasha spat."Come on...we have to go.
Kagome nodded in agreement. Inu-Yasha sniffed the air, and swore under his breath. "Damn! We have to cross the ocean." "What!" Kagome had forgotten that Mizu was the queen of an island
"How far away is she?" Kagome asked. He sniffed the air again. "About five miles." Myoga cleared his throat. "Ahem. Master Inu-Yasha, there is a bridge that leads to the main island of the archipelago." "Why didn't you tell me that earlier?" Inu-Yasha demanded. Myoga fumbled for a response. "Well...I...uh..." "Never mind" Kagome interrupted "Lets just get there"
After several hours of walking and crossing a disturbingly shaky rope bridge Kagome and
Inu-Yasha arrived at an impressing looking palace. As they approached the palace, the gates swung open and a slender woman in a blue and silver kimono stepped threw them. The only trait that revealed the woman's true nature was her abnormally pointed ears. "Out of my way wench!" Inu-Yasha snapped at her. "You must be the mighty half-breed that I have heard so much about. I am Princess Mizu of the water demons. Welcome to my palace." "Hand Over the Shikon jewel shard or
die!" Inu-Yasha said, drawing his Tetsaiga. "What? Oh, you mean this little trinket? Hmm...I have a proposition for you Inu-Yasha. Have you heard the tales of Lord Redstone? If you can kill his sons and bring me there heads, the shard is your's.
Five thousand miles away Lord Yevon Redstone sat upon his throne watching his foes with minimal interest. "Foolish witch." he said aloud I shall unleash upon her lands a plague, the likes of which the world has never seen."
