Deceiver's Stone
Introduction

(You can skip the intro if you want It is merely for the people that don't know Inuyasha that well.)
(Life in the Feudal Era was always perilous. Demons roamed the world and no one was to be trusted. These youkai were naturally against humans, save the select few that chose to let their hearts choose the way. This resulted in those called hanyou—the half-breeds. As for any of these creatures, they had a choice. They all had a choice whether to choose love or hate. These relations did not always agree. There were too many differences. Many were deceived, leading them to hate. The deceivers were already consumed with this hatred, and they chose to consume others to suffer with them. The youkai had always referred to the humans as "weak mortals," and thus a mere waste of time and space, whereas the humans thought of the demons as "barbaric, evil devils." Along with this, these demons had certain distinguishing powers: powers that enabled them to defend themselves, but also to use for offense. Some humans were priestesses or monks, and they had certain purifying gifts against the evils of these demons. Some people also chose to become demon slayers to rid the world of the youkai. All this pre-judging and hatred led to great wars and malevolence between the groups. Some demons even rebelled against other demon tribes, believing them to be traitors. Also, it was the differences yet again that separated these beings. Humans were no exception to this rebellion. Many humans deemed each other untrustworthy and resorted to fights and treachery. As for the hanyou, they were shunned from both humans and demons, not belonging in either group. They were never accepted, and they were always ridiculed and made fun of for being a "half-breed." There was one such being in particular that suffered this humiliation just as any other hanyou: The half demon Inuyasha. His main objective in life was to obtain the Shikon no Tama, the Sacred Jewel of Four Souls, in order to become a full-fledged demon. This jewel granted any wish to its owner, and this was Inuyasha's desire. He wanted to become stronger and escape the ridicule of others. His plan backfired on him however as the priestess Kikyo, the protector of the jewel, sealed him to a tree for fifty years by a spell from her sacred arrow. Going beyond reality and the believable, a normal schoolgirl from Tokyo, Japan fell in the well in her family's shrine to find herself in another era—the Feudal Era. In short, she was discovered to be the reincarnation of Kikyo, and joined Inuyasha on their quest for the jewel shards. Kagome was the one who shattered the jewel, so it was her responsibility to help restore it. Their main enemy and competitor was a powerful demon called Naraku, and they had come to find out that he was the one who deceived Inuyasha and Kikyo into thinking that they betrayed each other. This intensified Inuyasha's anger as he sought revenge on this Naraku guy for what he had done. Inuyasha was completely indifferent to Kagome at first, but he soon became rather fond of her. If Inuyasha thought that getting used to Kagome was his toughest task, boy was he wrong! He grew closer to her with time. His heart was softening; yet he was reluctant to let it show. They were always arguing, like here for instance:)

Kagome: Sit boy!
(Whack! Inuyasha fell face first on the ground due to the necklace that Kaede- the younger sister to the walking dead priestess Kikyo, Inuyasha's past lover- placed on him. Inuyasha looked up at Kagome with an annoyed look in his eyes.)
Inuyasha: What was that for!
Kagome: You are such a jerk!
Inuyasha: Yeah. Yeah. Tell me something I don't know!
Kagome: Sit!
(Whack! Again… and he looked up at her… again.)
Inuyasha: I said something I don't know!
Kagome: I'm going home!
(Kagome started to angrily walk away.)
Inuyasha: I already knew that was coming.
Kagome: But before I go…Sit sit sit!
(Whack times three! Ouch… He struggled to get his head up after that.)
Inuyasha: Ow… and that.
(Shippo, the young fox demon, walked over and saw him lying there.)
Shippo: Idiot. What did you do this time?
(Inuyasha sat up and hit Shippo on the head, giving him a lump.)
Shippo: Owww! Inuyasha!
(Inuyasha just stood up and started walking away, acting as if he didn't care.)
Inuyasha: Hn. Save it. It's none of your business anyway.
(Poor Shippo. He wasn't the only travel companion of Inuyasha and Kagome. Miroku, the lecherous monk, and his main target, Sango, the demon slayer, also traveled with them. Miroku was always trying to woo Sango, and he also seemed to enjoy groping any woman in sight.)
Miroku: Ooh, what beauties abide in this village.
(Miroku, with a smirk on his face, popped his fingers.)
Miroku: Okay, I'm goin' in.
(He snuck over behind them and stroked the booty of each and every one of them. They leapt up and shouted, "Woo!" and Miroku walked off dusting his hands off in satisfactory.)
Miroku: My work here is done.
(He felt a rock pebble hit the back of his head, and when he turned around, even more pebbles from the women he had groped clobbered him.)
Miroku: Ow! Ow! Wait! Ow! I just- Ow!
(He ran off to avoid their attacks, and he met up with Sango, breathing hard due to exhaustion.)
Sango: What happened to you, Miroku?
Miroku: I was attacked by… falling rocks.
Sango: Oh, really? Did these rocks happen to fall from the hands of women?
Miroku: …Maybe.
Sango: You're hopeless!
Miroku: Maybe I am, but do you know what you are?
Sango: What?
(Miroku went up to her and took her hands into his own.)
Miroku: You are a beauty. Please Sango, bear my children?
Sango: (blushes) Miroku, I…
(He put his arms around her.)
Miroku: I can't go without you…
Sango: Miroku, what are you –Huh?
(Sango got an anime vein on her forehead when she felt his hand on her butt!)
Miroku: I can't go on without your touch.
(Off in the distance, the impact of her hand across his face was heard.)
Sango: Give it a rest, pervert!
(Sango went storming off, leaving Miroku and his slap proof of failure marked bright red on his cheek. Miroku rubbed the burning handprint with a smile on his face, and Sango smiled as well as she walked off. Kirara, the two-tailed cat that traveled with Sango, hissed at Miroku and ran off to catch up with Sango. She jumped up onto Sango's shoulder where she usually tended to abide.)
Miroku: She digs me.
(Meanwhile, Inuyasha sat up in a tree, his ideal place to be, angry with Kagome. His arms and legs were crossed as he complained to himself about her.)
Inuyasha: Stupid Kagome. Who needs her? Let her go home. See what I care.
(A squirrel was sitting on a nearby branch and Inuyasha looked at it.)
Inuyasha: Do I look like I care?
(The squirrel just tilted its head and chattered.)
Inuyasha: I said, "Do I look like I care!"
(This scared the squirrel and it ran off.)
Inuyasha: Hn. Stupid squirrel.
(Inuyasha's ear twitched, signaling a demon's presence, and he became more aware.)
Kagome: Inuyasha!
Inuyasha: Kagome?
(Inuyasha noticed Kagome running toward him.)
Kagome: Sit!
(Inuyasha fell out of the tree-Whack! and Kagome ran over to him.)
Inuyasha: Why did you do that! You've already made your point!
Kagome: It's not safe to be in a tree during a thunderstorm! You could get struck by lightning!
Inuyasha: (Jumping up) There is no thunderstorm!
Kagome: Not yet, but there are storm clouds approaching!
(Inuyasha looked up and saw the cloud that she was talking about.)
Inuyasha: Stupid! That's not a storm cloud! That's Naraku's cloud of miasma!
(Kagome had a little blonde moment. Her hair may have been black, but she was a blonde deep inside. What do you expect? She's the reincarnation of stupid!)
Kagome: … I knew that. That's why I was trying to protect you.
Inuyasha: Whatever.
(Inuyasha drew his sword, the Tetsusaiga- the fang that was entrusted to him by his father, Inutaisho- and it transformed into its strongest form.)
Inuyasha: Either way, bring it on, Naraku.
(Sango and Miroku came running to them.)
Sango: Inuyasha!
Miroku: It's Naraku!
Inuyasha: Yep, and we'll take him down. He won't escape us this time.
