A/N: Now give me a break here; this is the first story I've ever written that doesn't involve hardcore comedy. Also, I haven't created a single chapter for this site in over half a year, so be kind while also giving me some constructive criticism. If I don't get enough reviews I shall junk this story and slink away into my shadowy corner. Please allow 3-5 days for updates since I have no idea where I will be going with this story for the middle chapters. Other-than-that, I shall let you read on and hopefully you will enjoy my latest piece of work.

Chapter 1

Inuyasha allowed his mind to wonder as he stared into the endless void of the midnight sky. It had been five years since that fateful day when the group had parted and gone their separate ways. He knew that it had been his fault, or at least he felt it was. If only he could have expressed his feelings before it was too late. Inuyasha thought about why he didn't just go back now, it was not like Kagome had a man in her life. Maybe he was afraid of rejection; after all, he had crushed her heart with his own stubborn attitude.

Inuyasha perched himself onto a nearby tree as he pondered everything that was going through his head at the moment. Slowly, sleep overcame him and he entered a world full of mystery and mystique.

He awoke to find that dawn had broken, and as he wiped the crust and sleep from his eyes, he leaped down from the tree and headed toward the river to wash his face. A strange feeling had overcome him, something wasn't quite right. Yet he did not smell any entities in the area.

"Inuyasha" Inuyasha quickly spun around to gaze upon an ordinary man, at least from the looks of it. He slowly wrapped his hand around the Tetsuiga while wondering why this person had no scent whatsoever.

"Take your hand off that sword if you wish to live another day." Inuyasha released a low growl, causing this mysterious man to let out a cold, cruel hearted laugh that would make anybody shiver to their cores. "I do not wish to kill you now, you're not worthy of such an easy way out. I know how much that Kagome wench means to you, which is why I am here."

Inuyasha felt a surge of pure hatred emanate from him just at that freak mentioning Kagome's name with such disrespect. He loved her, and he would never let anything ever happen to her, even if that meant sacrificing his own life. "When the dagger of the Four Suns pierces her heart, then the ritual will be complete."

His glare shook Inuyasha up until he could take it no more. "Damn you to hell!" He screamed as he drew his sword leaping towards him…and slicing thin air. It was if he had just vanished from the scene.

Inuyasha's mind was bogged down with so many questions, like why had this man let him know his plan ahead of time? He knew he had to try and fix his hot temper; it may have cost him a good deal of answers. At that one moment he uttered out a single word as he began to panic. "Kagome" He knew that he had to reach her before he did, knowing full well that he didn't have much time. Inuyasha quickly took off towards the old abandoned well that hadn't been used in years. It had begun to chip away with age as he examined it closer. Quickly, he gathered his strength and leapt in. As he emerged on the other side, old memories began to flood back to him of all the times he had come here, it seemed so long ago.

The window to Kagome's room was wide open, making it much easier for him to reach it. He jumped through to find her lying on her bed. There was a long moment of silence between them; Kagome had never thought he would ever come back. After five years of waiting and wondering, he was finally there. "Inu…" She started, but was cut off when suddenly the man from earlier burst through another window and stared Kagome down with his fiery red eyes. Kagome was still quite puzzled. "W-who a-are y-you?" She was able to stammer out.

"My name is Techbu; I have been in hiding among the people of your world for many years now. Finally, I have grown strong enough to fulfill my destiny, and it all begins with you." Techbu raised a single bony finger and pointed it straight at Kagome. "I will now take what is rightfully mine."

Inuyasha quickly drew the Tetsuiga in a ditch effort to force Techbu back. Unfortunately, a giant lightning bolt shot across the room and nailed Inuyasha in the chest sending him flying into a nearby wall rendering him unconscious. Techbu proceeded to pick the screaming Kagome up and teleported them out of the room. Inuyasha was left behind, and as his mind drifted back in time he began to dream about the day it all happened.

A/N: So what did you think? Don't worry, it will pick up a lot in later chapters, this was really just kind of setting up the scenario for the rest of the story. If any of you could tell me how to spell all the weapons from the four main characters that would be great, I'll need it for my flashback episode. I would prefer if you e-mailed it to me, but just post it in a review if you can't get through to me. Thanks, also updates won't really start coming until Christmas vacation, which for me is this upcoming Wednesday which at that point I'll be tossing out a chapter every day or two. So please review and thanks in advance! Hoped you enjoyed the first chapter!
