Okay so my previous InuYasha stories have just been little one shots for ha-ha's and giggles but now i'm writting a legit story with an actual plot. Not sure how long it'll take to finish this but im happy with the beginning of it so far. I'll have more up soon once i read through and determine whether there's any more i can do to it.

MAJOR SPOILERS! The prologue has spoilers in it. It's just a big spoil fest. So if you have not seen the end of the Final Act (i.e how they killed Naraku etc.) then just skip to the next chapter because if you don't you'll be mad at me.

The Prologue takes place over the last few episodes of the Final Act (i wanna say last three or four). Enjoy!

Prologue:

The Final Battle

Inuyasha's POV

I ran away from the village with the Shikon no Tama in my hands. How dare she betray me this way? I trusted her and she did this to me. I'll make her pay. I would become a full fledged demon at last and never give my heart to another woman.

"Inuyasha!"

It was her voice. The voice of the woman I loved. I jumped into the air almost making my escape, but then something sharp hit me in the chest. I was thrown back into a tree and the jewel slipped out of my hand. "No." My arm dropped and my eyelids became heavy. "Kikyo…why…I thought…" I blacked out.

These were my thoughts as I walked through the dark inside of Naraku. Demon blood pulsed through my veins, my only instinct was to find something and kill it.

"Inuyasha."

"Kagome?" Her voice, but where was she? Suddenly it all came back to me. We were trying to find the tainted Shikon jewel inside of Naraku but I was turned into a demon. I remembered seeing her fall off a cliff. I could smell her blood. I looked down at my hands to find them stained red. No, I hadn't done this…

"That's right, you did it," said Naraku's mocking voice. "You turned into a full demon, cast away your heart, and tore apart your beloved with your own hands. You've done it again. Instead of protecting them you let them fall victim of your weak heart. Kikyo and Kagome."

Their names echoed over and over again. This wasn't happening, Kagome wan't dead, I refused to believe that. "Shut up!" I began slashing my claws at everything I could find but then realized it was no use. I couldn't protect Kikyo, but I could protect Kagome and that's what I intended to do.

"Inuyasha, I can save you from your pathetic half demon heart."

I suddenly fell to my knees. I had no ontrol of my body. I was being turned into a full demon.

"Forget your human heart."

I soon found myself wandering around inside of Naraku and came across Rin. I didn't recognize her; all I did was try to kill her. But before I could, the evil spirit of the Shikin no Tama Magatsuhi possessed me just as Kagome and Sesshomaru arrived. We began to fight but I had no idea what I was doing, Magatcuhi had consumed me and I didn't have my Tetsusaiga. Suddenly Kagome threw it to me and I regained my consciousness. I saw her falling and ran over and caught her. At the same time, Sesshomaru killed Magatsuhi and Kagome purified me.

"I'm glad you're okay," she said.

Okay didn't even begin to summarize how exactly I felt. "Yeah, thanks to you're purification powers. Let's go find Naraku."

Kagome's POV

We were all now outside of Naraku's body. After realizing he was falling apart and those parts of him were destroying Kaede's village, we hadto start fighting from the outside. This fight had gone on too long; too many lives were almost lost. I wanted to end this for good, now.

Naraku had already been severely damaged by Sesshomaru's Bakusaiga. I figured with one final blow I could end this; end all of our pain and suffering and the suffering of others. Nothing would stop me. "Miedou Zengetsuha!" Huge glowing black blades that reflected the underworld shot out of my Tetsusaiga causing an explosion. I looked trying to see through the dark Miasma but when it cleared away Naraku still hadn't been completely destroyed.

I was so mad I was about to scream every swear word I could think of damning Naraku to hell.

Before I could Kagome shot her arrow and there was a blinding white light. Something was coming towards us and I picked up Kagome and ran as fast as I could. We ended up by the well and when the light faded we saw Naraku's head floating over it and Kagome's arrow pierced through the jewel.

"I made a wish on the Shikon Jewel," Naraku said as we all athered around. "That wish, was the wish of the Shikon Jewel itself." Then he disappeared.

We all stood around silently for a moment watching that spot, expecting Naraku to reappear. But then Miroku pulled back the cover on his Kazaana and broke the silence. "It's gone."

That meant we had won. We had finally won! Naraku was gone, out of our lives forever. But before we could start doing a victory dance, a Miedou opened up behind Kagome and started to pull her in. I was suddenly filled with panic. "Kagome!"

"Inuyasha!"

I jumped up and tried to grab her but before I could touch her, the Miedou closed and I fell on my face in the dirt. I stared in disbelief, shocked into silence. Naraku dying meant all of our problems should be over. We should have been able to sit down with some fresh Ramen and relax. But we couldn't. She was gone.

I was back in my era. I was in high school now with my friends. We went through the days as any normal freshman girls would. We went shopping and to WacDonalds. I even ended up going on a date with Hojo. Just the normal life of a Japanese teenager.

But something was seriously wrong. I felt like something was missing. When I asked Sota about the well inside of our shrine, he acted like he didn't know what I was talking about. I couldn't put my finger on it though. Then one day I went to the sacred tree and found the scar on it was gone. That's when I remembered. Inuyasha, my friends, Naraku, everything.

"The well has been shut."

I looked around and saw that I was now surrounded by darkness. The only thing there was the glowing Shikon Jewel with my arrow in it. It was talking to me. "But when I went home, and went to school…?"

"It was all an illusion. This is the life you should be living. Would you like to return? All you have to do is make a wish. Wish on me and return to that world. Or you'll spend eternity in this darkness alone."

Tears welled up in my eyes. Here, alone, for the rest of eternity without my family, or friends…or Inuyasha? I became afraid. What should I do? I didn't want to stay here, but could I go back to the Fuedal Era if I made this wish? I put my face in my hands and started to cry.

"You never belonged in this world. Go back home."

"Kagome! Kagome, can you hear me?"

That was Inuyasha! "Inuyasha?"

"Don't wish for anything! Wait for me!"

"Do you want to see Inuyasha? All you have to do is wish," the jewel said.

I wouldn't do that. What if I did and the jewel deceived me and didn't bring us together? Inuyasha has always come for me in the past, I knew he would again and I would wait for him. My grandpa once told me, that someone must make the correct wish on the Shikon jewel. At that moment I understood.

"Make your wish."

"I won't make a wish. Inuyasha will come." And just as I said that, he appeared in front of me. I was so surprised and relieved all I could do was look at him for a moment. He floated closer to me and all I could do was look into those amber eyes. My eyes filled with tears again and he pulled me into a tight hug. He was here; he really had come for me. I trusted him; I knew he wouldn't leave me alone in darkness for the rest of my life.

He looked into my eyes and I into his. I had been afraid that I would never see these eyes again. Eyes that I had come to fall in love with. I leaned towards him not caring whether he would push me away or not, this moment was right. I could feel it. Our lips touched and he didn't push me away, he pressed his mouth to mine and I melted into his arms. I had wanted to this for so long. We had been through so much to get here. I had imagined our first kiss so many times and questioned time and time again whether he would ever want this as well. And now I knew for sure, he returned my feelings and he wanted this just as much. This wasn't an illusion, it was real.

We reluctantly broke the kiss and looked at the jewel. "I will make my wish," I said and the jewel glowed brighter. "Shikon no Tama, disappear…forever."

As i said, huge spoil fest. If you didn't see this part and i just ruined your life...well...you were warned.
