The Search for the Blood Crystal

Chapter 1: The Lost Kisho

Back in the Feudal Era the flames of terror had subsided. Like a raging fire losing its fuel the lands were once becoming peaceful. Wars were now becoming mere battles between small towns. The jewel that known as the Shikon no Tama that many Youkai coveted was secured safely with a strong barrier stopping anyone who tries to enter. Naraku was all but defeated by the group led by the hanyou called Inu-yasha. Though many wereoblivious to the struggle against good verse evil the ones who knew honored the group. Though even as things settled against the lands of their time, good cannot exist without the presents of evil. As it is two sides of the same coin without one the other could never exists and so within those peaceful lands was born a new darkness.

The Present Day. . .(several years later more like it)

Standing within the temple grounds stood a young man. He was in medium height while his hair was long and tied back with a tie. What was unique about his hair was it was raven black except for two white stripes that started on top of his head and ran down to the tips. He was staring at a tree that seemed to have been damaged some in the middle. His dark brown eyes studied it some, "This tree. . . has an odd feeling to it. Feels so familiar."

"Hello!"

"Ah!" Jumping about a mile high from the loud greeting the young man stared at his greeter.

"Oh, sorry about that Never seen you before. Like the tree or something?"

He snorted some as he shut his eyes partly as he slung his backpack over his shoulder,

"Feh, I'm hardly interested in some stupid tree. Who the hell are you anyways?"

"I live here, the names Sota. Nice to meet you." The boy shook his hand rather roughly, "Who are you?"

He pulled his hand away after being pulled around from the shake, "Kisho. . ."

"Interesting markings you have there, can I see?" Sota said pointed to the top of his head where the white started on Kisho.

"No, get lost."

Kisho turned around to walk away when Sota grabbed his hair and pulled him backwards which caused him to fall and hit the ground.

"Oh, wow, cool." Sota poked at his head some.

Kisho jumped up waving his fist at him, "Hey what was that for you bastard?"

"Oh yeah I know who you are now. Come here." Sota pulled Kisho along towards the well.

"Hey. . .wait let go of me. What are you doing?! I demand you let me go before I pound you to a pulp!"

"Hehe you are like your father," Sota said with a chuckle.

Kisho looked at him wide eyed as he was pushed through the doors of the well. His stomach hit the edge of the well and he found himself face to face looking down the darkness of the Bone Eaters Well. His heighten senses could smell something odd about this place and yet there was another smell. . .one he use to know, "You knew my father?"

"And mother mind you. You really don't remember?"

Kisho thought about it some before growling. How could this stranger know him already, "Grr. . .How the hell do you know all this? You don't knew me so tell me the truth!"

Sota only laughed as he shook his head, "Silly little dog, for me to know and you to find out." Kisho snorted some as he wrinkled his nose at him. Sota was annoying in fact he'll shut him up right now. Kisho lunged at Sota, trying to get to the door, but was met with a swift kick in the gut. Kisho could feel himself fall back and he stumbled over the well.

All he could hear was Sota's annoying voice, "Have a nice trip! All you need to know is these two names, Inu-yasha and Kagome. You'll find your answers then."

((Eek I bit short, but I don't want to reveal too much about Kisho yet. *Cough* even though I believe people know who the parents are. Well if you review please be easy on me. I haven't written in awhile *grin* I'll get the next chapter up real soon. In a day or so))
