CHAPTER 0: A monument at the center of the Village
DISCLAIMER: All Inuyasha characters isn't mine!!!
A boy dressed in red and black jacket stood at the center of a village. There's a monument about an incident that happened almost 15 years ago at that village. Under the monument were piles of flowers left by the surviving children.
"Okaa-chan, outo-san… I'm sorry… Since that day, I never had the chance to find my little brother. We were separated during the incident. I hope, even 15 years had passed, I'll find Amar Ma'aruf and if only he remembers me at all…"
Meanwhile at Yamato residence…
Amar's loud sneeze startled everyone, including Mokona who were working on her biplane.
"What was that?"
"I think someone had become the giant sneeze bomb."
Inside his room, Ma'aruf-chan wipes his nose with a handkerchief Tsubasa gave him.
"Thanks, Tsubasa-chan."
"My pleasure."
"I think someone were talking about my name."
That day was Monday, and both Ma'aruf-chan and Tsubasa was walking down to that day's night market. His surrogate mother, Reika Yamato had asked him to buy some grocery there. Since he was at it, he had the thought to buy some snacks for the midnight study.
"What else was have to buy, Tsubasa-chan?"
"Let's see, a dozen of eggs, two whole chickens, a kilogram of vegetables, two packets of sugar cane drink, some 6mm BB pellets and some apam balik (a kind of cake) for Arikado and Mokona."
"Oh well."
When he's done with the shopping, both walked back to the shrine. As he walks, he passes few of his friends. He also passed the same boy in red and black jacket.
"Huh?"
Amar-chan kept on walking. The stranger looks at him, with a startled-look on his face.
He looks pretty familiar…
"Now I got to study, study, study."
"Don't you think it's too much for you, Amar-sama?"
"I gotta wait till its weekends."
"Well, if it's fine for you, I'll be with you, Amar-sama. The holidays are just around the corner."
She gave a beautiful smile, for a persocom…
"That's right… I told Inuyasha that we'll have sword practice at the shrine…"
Just then, Inuyasha appeared in front of them.
"Oh, Inuyasha, nice to meet you. We just talked about you."
"Hey, it's good to see you too."
After putting the goods on the counter at the kitchen, he went chatting with Inuyasha at his room, bringing him a glass of strawberry-flavored milk.
"What brings you here, Inuyasha-sama?"
"I overheard that when he was possessed by Naraku, Amar mentioned that he have a long lost brother of some sort."
"Really?"
Inuyasha nodded.
"Anyways, Naraku is dead now. I just don't have the vague idea about your brother,"
"It's okay."
However, outside the Yamato Residence, the same stranger stood there, listening to every word Ma'aruf-chan uttered.
"Maybe he's the one…"
Inuyasha sensed the stranger's scent, which later disappeared.
"What is it, Inuyasha?"
"Nothing…"
The scent leads to the well, which causes Inuyasha to worry more.
A/N: This is the prologue for my story. What do you think? This story happens before Between Enma Ai and Kikyo, so anyone who asked me the prequel of EAG (Sorry, I forgot her pen name…) could go ahead and read how Ma'aruf-chan found his older brother. TQ.
