Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha, it belongs to Rumiko Takahashi. But if I did I'd be rich! Only people I own are the OCs (which should be pretty obvious who they are.)

Prologue

Before the times of the Inu no Taisho, Inu demons and some of the minor gods who resided in the western lands fought over who would rule over the lands for many centuries. One day two powerful gods saw the fighting upon the western lands. One was a Goddess of protection, the moon, and love. The other, whom was her Twin Flame was a God of creation, the earth, weapons, and together they are protectors and creators of souls.

Both were worried about the war between the Inu demons and the minor Gods and decided to intervene by making a treaty. They gave the Inu Demons the right to rule the lands, in exchange, their next heir to the lands must bear a child whom would contain a soul that the two gods chose. Agreeing to this, peace between the minor Gods and the Inu demons was established.

Centuries passed and a new Lord of the West took over the pack. He and his wife bore the foretold child and under his reign the west prospered. Until one day an army of demons led by rouge Inu demons attacked the minor Gods in defiance. They felt they were the superior and should not settle for a treaty but rather should rule over all. There was a war between the rouges, the minor Gods, and Inu demons of the west. Many perished, the rouges were completely destroyed and the inu demons became almost extinct.

After the war it was clear to the minor Gods that the Inus of the west were not the true cause of the war, however they were still weary of them due to the treaty being broken. To reestablish the treaty between the Gods and the Inu, another soul, a celestial spirit specially chosen by the two powerful Gods was sent to marry into the Inu family. None but the two powerful deities at the time knew that the celestial spirit's own Twin Flame awaited her, for they had always intended for the first soul they sent to find love. So the spirit went out of duty, intent on helping the Goddess she served and adored.

Many suitors attempted to woo the little spirit but the young Lord of the West caught her eye. In the end she too caught his eye, they mated and were expecting a child.

But all was not at peace for in the shadows lay a powerful rouge whom they thought to be dead. Pledging allegiance to a terrible entity feared by many, he was granted a blade of terrible power. Kowatama, the Soul Breaker had the power to completely kill a soul, stealing it's energy and wiping it from existence. Working in the shadows he hunted those with powerful souls, demons and those of holy power fell to the wicked blade in order for him to get to his ultimate goal.

Gathering enough power he challenged the Inu demons and minor Gods with an unearthly army granted to him by his master. Many went into battle including the Lord of the West and his son. Those not strong enough hid in the castle walls, waiting patiently for their loved ones to return. In the rouges wake, fires burned and souls were shattered, but in the end he was stopped by unknown means. Laying alone in a small room of the western castle lay the dead body of the rouge, a shattered blade purified of dark intent, and a pile of feathers belonging to the young lords love. His pregnant mate was never found and young lord mourned, closing himself off from the world and becoming cold hearted.

The young lords father, the current Lord of the West, found the left over blade's powers to have altered, it now had the power to bring back life instead of destroying it. In honor of his sons late mate, he absorbed the power into his own blade, the Tessaiga, intent on giving it to his son one day.

But things don't always happen as planned for we all know how the next great tale of the Inus demons turned out. This chapter of the Western Lands tales may have ended, but a new tale was fated to happen. The story of Inuyasha, a Feudal Fairy Tale.

Author's notes/Me babbling: Those of you who have already read some of my story so far are probably wondering why I changed everything around to put this in. Well I had felt like since the beginning that my story was kind of out of context. A lot of stories start with a prologue so that you understand some of what is going on and I felt my story needed. As for new readers welcome and thank you for checking out my story! I hope you enjoy it and please leave comments about what you think. This story is without beta so if you find mistakes or maybe want to point out some things I can improve upon, please let me know. Thanks again for reading, TTFN!

P.S. I would like to make a special shout out to Ninjagirl2211 who recommended the Japanese version of the swords name! It's so awesome! 3
