Important Author's Notice by Starlight - Wild Koneko

There is a few things I would like to establish before beginning the posting of this story, the first and foremost is that I do not own any of the Inuyasha characters that I had used for this fiction. Another, is that the Inuyasha world is also not mine to own though this being fan fiction I have changed a few things to suit my story.

Another thing that I would like to establish is that this will be the only author's note that I will write. As I have stated in the paragraph above, I do NOT in any way shape or form, own the Inuyasha characters or world, but this plot and storyline is mine, not including past factors dealing with the anime or the manga. As I have not read much of the manga and only managed to read the ending, I will tell you this, please do not take out any differences between the two out on me, I just like to write and will state again that though I do not own the characters or the Inuyasha world, the story is mine and I can do with it what I like. THIS IS THE ONLY WARNING I GIVE TOWARDS MY REVIEWERS. I WILL NOT GIVE ANOTHER DISCLAIMER OR AUTHOR'S NOTE! You have been warned.

So now, on to another point altogether, during this story there will be many different situations, many drawn out moments, but I do not intend to rush this, for I wish to make this my best story until another comes my way. This idea came to me while writing up the preface that I will post after this, so please be kind and give me wonderful reviews stating how well I did or did not do. I do not care about flames, in fact, I love constructive criticism so please whatever you wish me to fix or look at, inform and I will see what I can do.

Also the rating is rate M because I tend to put too much emotion for most people into my story and can sometimes get a little too graphic though I suppose if you are reading this, that is what you already expect, especially if you are familiar with my other stories. I'm not a tame writer, so do not read if you are not mentally, and emotionally prepared for one of my words. You may cry, you may get angry, you may be aroused (though I find that highly unlikely), and you will curse until you are blue in the face. More importantly, while I doubt I will have any lemons, there will more then likely be limes. At that time I will indicate a section with such possible lemon, though lime content for me will be mighty tame so there will be no worry there for any true notice.

Another note, Kagome is my main character and there will be many OC's through the story because it is her journey on her own to gain allies, to gain new companions in a world that she is trapped in. Banned from her own world, this is what she must do to gain her sense of self back after loosing everything. And no, this isn't another one of those, Everyone-dies-leaving-her-alone type fics, nor is it a Kagome-goes-to-the-western-lands-to-stay-with-Sesshoumaru fics, and while I admit to having romance happen between the two, I am an unpredictable writer who likes making many plot twists and unexpected or suspected things happen that you don't expect to happen, happen. I like trying to be unique and must say that I do a fine job at it, so while there are similarities to the usual plots that many have come up with over the years, this is also quite different as well so please give it a chance.

On to another note, and hopefully the last, this story is divided into parts, and while I have only planned for thirty five chapters, I can assure each and everyone of you that it is possible it will be a bit longer then that. You will understand as you read this story though, what I have done and how I have divided it all up.

And so now, I go onto my last words before the story, again stating that I will give no more disclaimer as it is tedious to keep reiterating a fact that we all know well by now and just stick to this one note that will be placed at the beginning of the story for all to know.

So without further delay, here is the summary of the story and then the preface to begin the adventure.

Summary

It began with the death of the greatest enemy we've ever faced, and ends with the battle for our lives against an even greater foe with many more tricks up his sleeves. We had separated, and I had lost my only way back to the future, but gained a life that despite everything I was sure to love. I traveled and gained companions, with my son by my side, and came to a great city in the northern lands where youkai, hanyou, and humans could live in peace together. I trained and learned much there and succeeded in becoming something that has not been seen in many a year, but this was only the beginning. Darkness seeped into the lands, treachery was afoot and the great city of the south was burned to the ground. Allies are sought, new pacts are made, and a war brews on the horizon. I am not sure if we can win, but I will not give up the hope I have gained and the friends I have loved. This is only the beginning…
