If you haven't seen the animes Inuyasha and Fairy Tail, I would suggest watching those before reading this. I don't own Fairy Tail or Inuyasha. But I hope you guys like my first Fanfiction ever written. Please feel free to review the story when your done, and let me know how I did, what ideas you might have in mind for chapter 2. :)

500 years in Feudal Japan

In the Musashi Province of Japan, stood a large village where many Priests/Priestesses, Travellers, and Monks lived in harmony. But the villager who stood out the most, was the one and only half-demon; Inuyasha. After the battle with Naraku, humans have learned to accept demons into their developing lives.

It was the middle of summer, when Inuyasha and his wife; Kagome, found they were having their first child. Inuyasha, Kagome and all of their friends were ecstatic to hear the news. Another Hanyou like its father? Or a Mortal Priestess like its mother?

As everyone started to calm down over the news, Inuyasha and Miroku were called out on a job, far from the village. Kagome and Sango badly wanted to accompany them; they were a team so they did everything together. But in Kagome's condition, and Sango with her family, it wasn't safe and Inuyasha had to persuade his wife to stay back.

"Kagome, I can do this on my own, I'll be fine." Inuyasha encouraged her to stay, his back facing her at the front entrance of their home. Kaede was in the background eavesdropping on the two, along with Sango and her 3 children. They've decided to take care of Kagome and the baby, while Inuyasha and Miroku were gone.

"I know, but-" Kagome couldn't finish her sentence, for Inuyasha turned on his heels and gave her a long goodbye kiss. As he pulled back, he placed - what looked like - his Robe of the Fire Rat against the small bump of her stomach. Kagome just stared at the cloth, wondering...

"It's from mine." Inuyasha answered, turning back towards the door and slightly lifting his arms to reveal the cut outs."Sango and Kaede helped sew it together...I love you, Kagome."

Kagome quickly turned to look at Kaede and Sango; then back to Inuyasha, but he was already gone...

15 years later

The sun was beating down on the village, a sign that it was going to be another hot summer day. The villagers were going about their usual daily routines; except for two figures, as they were running into the Forest of No Return. One of the figures was dressed in all red, and already disappearing through the shrubbery as if something was beckoning them. The second figure, trudged behind as the hot sun beat down on them.

The trees stood tall and motionless in the dry heat; except for when the red figure dashed through the greenery at lightning speed, making themself seem like they were flying through the branches. The flying figure eventually came to a stop on a branch of a tall tree, half-way through the woods. The little light that escaped through the surrounding forestry, made it easier to make out the person's long, silver-white hair, that turned black at the ends; and two animal ears sticking up from the top of their head.

"KAYUME (pronounced: KAI-YOU-MAY) YOU HAVE TO COME QUICK! I SENSE A STRONG DEMONIC AURA HEADING TOWARD THE VILLAGE!" The second figure, a young man, yelled as he followed the red figure into the forest.

The man appeared to be 18, and wore a black kimono that had a mystifying pattern of golden swirls on it. He had big, deep blue eyes and hair that was pulled back into a small ponytail.

A monk.

Suddenly, the red figure landed in front of him from the trees; a girl. She was about 3 years younger than the man in front of her, and wore a plain red kimono, with a white undershirt that only stuck out at the collar. Her big, yellow-gold eyes were fixated on the young man, as she approached him nonchalantly. Her dog ears twitching back and forth, at the top of her head.

A Hanyou.

Kayume had a super sensitive nose, that could smell a drop of blood from miles away. Along with super sensitive hearing; so she didn't sense any demonic aura, or even the slightest bit of danger nearby.

"I know you're lying, Komori." She said to the man, identifying him as Komori. "You should know you'll never be able to get a lie past me." She gave him a smirk as he sighed in frustration.

"Ugh, just come home with me. We need to return to your house." Komori said, before taking Kayume by her wrist and dragging her toward the village below. The hanyou chuckled and rolled her eyes at the pace the monk was dragging her at, so she threw him on her back and ran full-force towards the village.

Down in the Village

Swerving between people, and running past dozens of homes, Kayume and Komori were making their way to the hanyou's hut. She could smell her friend's, and another scent she wasn't quite familiar with. Is that him? She thought to herself, Is that my father!? It had been 3 years after Kayume was born, that Miroku returned from his mission...alone...

Kayume came to a sudden stop in front of a hut, that was slightly larger than the other ones in the village. The scents were very strong now that she was at the doorway, and the mystery scent made her even more anxious to pull back the curtain they used for a door. As Komori rushed in front of the hanyou, to pull back the door for her, she pushed the monk to the side. When she entered the Living Area of her home; Sango, Miroku, and Komori's older twin sisters, were gathered around the fire pit in the middle of the room as they cheered in unison, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KAYUME!"

The hanyou ignored the others and glanced around the room, looking for her mother. She suddenly caught a glimpse of Kagome, coming from behind another curtain to her left, which lead to their Healing Room.

Kagome wore a white flowy top, and red flowy pants. The clothes of her ancestor Kikyo. She had big brown eyes, and her long black hair was loosely tied back by a silk ribbon. She was the most beautiful priestess in the village. Kagome was also very powerful; she could purify peoples' hearts that were tainted with evil, and heal the sick and wounded.

Kayume stared into the room her mother came from, and subconsciously started to walk in that direction. Her mother suddenly put a hand on her shoulder, when she approached beside her. Kayume froze and glanced up at her mom, who wore a sad expression on her face as to answer her question. It wasn't him.

"H-Hey Kayume, come here for a second, I want to show you something." Komori broke the silence, taking his friend by the arm and guiding her to where his sisters sat in the Living Area. Kagome joined her friends, as they watched her come out of the Healing Room.

"What seems to be troubling her? Did we do something wrong?" Miroku asked, watching Kayume with a slightly worried expression.

"Yeah. She seems upset about something." Sango replied, following Miroku's gaze.

"It's nothing..." Kagome sighed with a small smile. She knew what was wrong with her daughter. Ever since Miroku returned without Inuyasha, she has been asking so many questions about her father. Questions even Kagome had no answers to...

That Night

After everyone left - even the mystery stranger - Kagome walked over to her daughter, who was laying next to the dying fire pit, underneath her blankets she called a bed. Kayume wore a sad expression on her face, disappointed to have to celebrate another birthday without Inuyasha.

Kagome layed in front of her, so they were face-to-face, and said in a soft tone, "Don't worry. He's probably just picking a fight, with an even stronger demon he can't take on his own." Kagome tried to sound convincing, but how could she? This is the Feudal Era...nothing is safe or alright.

"Mom, what did dad look like?" Kayume asked. She was always so curious to know more about her father. She had heard many stories of her mom and dad's adventures, and has been wanting to learn more.

"Well..." Kagome started, propping herself up on one elbow. "...he looks a lot like you. You share the same ears," Kagome reached out, and lightly rubbed her daughter's little dog ears. "The same sense of smell, the same claws, the same eyes. You also have the same hair, except the black in yours is from me, and your eyes have little flecks of brown." Kagome continued, grabbing a strand of her hanyou daughter's hair.

It was dead silent for a while, until Kayume broke it. "Can you sing a song for me? Please?" Kagome stared into Kayumes' big eyes and didn't see her daughter, but Inuyasha. She nodded and began to sing a lullaby with her:

"Father once said to me, many moons ago a demon hand will defend,
Mother said one day there is more that you must know, a mortal hand will sustain
Two hands together incomplete alone, balance and union and the gate will open
Go my children go, go to crimson flames
To save our children, the lights of memory remain"

Minutes After They Fell Asleep

The smell of blood filled the area. Kayume perked her ears, and slightly lifted her nose into the air at the scent. Her eyes slowly opened as it got stronger and stronger. The hanyou slowly sat up until she was able to see a figure, right outside her door, behind her mother's back. Kayume began to sweat in fear. Who was it? Why are they in front of their doorway? What did they want with them? She sat up even more, but tried not to be noticed by the shadow figure. The silhouette was one step away from entering their home, and that's when Kayume let out a loud, terrified scream.

Kagome shot up from where she was laying, yelling "SIT BOY!" from the dream she was having. The silhouette suddenly fell face-first into the ground, as if it was a bird shot from a tree, at Kagome's command.

"Ka...go...meeeeeeee!" The silhouette moaned into the ground.

The Priestess whipped her head toward the figure, who called out her name. That voice! Kagome thought, Is it? It has to be! I'd know that voice anywhere. "Inu...yasha...? INUYASHA!" Kagome screamed, as she ran toward the collapsed intruder.

Kayume stopped screaming and just stared at her mother. Inuyasha? She thought, That's the name of...Kayume's head was swirling with confusion, is that really her dad? How did he manage to come back smelling so heavily of blood?

Inuyasha tried to push himself off the ground where he laid, but he was too beaten up. Instead, Kagome helped him and laid his back against the wall.

"Inuyasha..." Kagome whispered, as tears flooded in her eyes. Inuyasha had blood everywhere; on his mouth, all over his hands. He had bruises all over his face, he could barely keep his eyes open to look at his wife. But he managed, and stared at her with a smile.

"I-I'm home..." He said weakly, then looked behind Kagome to find a wide-eyed Kayume. Inuyasha tried to sit up on his own again, but instead let out a grunt and collapsed in Kagome's lap.

"INUYASHA!" Kagome yelled. He was still breathing, but not very well.

"I-I'm so glad... y-you're safe..." He mumbled into Kagome's lap.

Kayume's ears suddenly perked, as she heard screaming from the villagers outside. She rushed to the back window, only to witness her entire village being engulfed in orange and yellow. "RUN!" Kayume yelled to her parents, as she gabbed them and dragged them out.

A wave of flames suddenly ate up their house, shortly after they evacuated. Kagome managed to grab her bow and arrows, that were in the corner of the doorway, just in case something were to happen. What was going on? Where did that flame come from? What's going to happen to the village? Kagome and Kayume were so confused and filled with fear, while Inuyasha just laid motionless on the ground where Kagome placed him.

"It's here..." He said so quietly that the girls barely heard him. Kagome plopped herself next to Inuyasha trying to heal his wounds, but they were too deep, there was nothing she could do. "Kagome... You need to get yourself...and everyone else out of here..." Inuyasha said, glancing at the terrified hanyou standing behind her.

"NO! NOT WITHOUT YOU INUYASHA! I'M TAKING YOU WITH US!" Kagome yelled at Inuyasha, frustrated at him for talking such nonsense.

Inuyasha pulled himself into Kagome's ear, with what little strength he had left and whispered, "Live...Long..." Saying that, Inuyasha suddenly went heavy in Kagome's chest, his body turning cold and pale.

"Inuyasha...? INUYASHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Kagome yelled at the top of her lungs, tears running down her face like waterfalls. Kayume just stood behind and watched the scene before her.

Their entire village was burning to a crisp; her mother grieved over her father's dead body. The smell of smoke and burning flesh filled her nose, and the screams of the villagers pierced her ears. Suddenly, a loud roar echoed throughout the village and everything went silent. A giant monster was approaching behind the wall of flames. Kayume could barely make out the shadowy figure standing just feet from her and her mother. She was brought back to reality when she saw her mother standing in front of her with her bow and arrow loaded, aiming at the beast.

"RUN, KAYUME! YOU CAN STILL MAKE IT OUT ALIVE!" Kagome demanded, tears still staining her face.

Kayume obediently ran back, away from her mom and her father's body. However, she came to a sudden stop and turned around, just in time to watch as a beast with 4 legs, a long neck, and red flame-like scales, with 3 horns on its head, stood in front of the smoke screen. Then, a sudden gust of purple light was shot at the creature; but missed. Kagome's Sacred Arrow. After she shot the arrow, Kagome ran up next to her daughter, where she stood frozen in her spot.

"RUN!" Kagome snapped her back to reality, as the beast let out another loud, ear piercing roar.

"What is that thing!?" Kayume asked her mother, as she threw the priestess on her back, just like she did with Komori earlier.

"It's called a Dragon. They're mostly found in Fairy Tales, from the Era I grew up in." Kagome answered, knowing that her hanyou daughter knew about her and her father's time gap.

They were almost at the Forest of No Return, when suddenly Kagome threw herself off her daughter's back. The hanyou froze in shock, and turned back towards her mother. Before she could say or do anything, Kagome wrapped her arms around her daughter in a big hug, and whispered in one of her little dog ears, "I love you, Kayume. Live long." Kayume was suddenly lifted into the air by a flying, 2 tailed, demon cat that came out of nowhere.

"MOM!" Kayume yelled back at her mother, but it was too late. The priestess had already walked right into the dragon's flames, leaving no trace of her body. "NOOOOOO!" Kayume screamed in horror, as she was being pulled onto the demon cat.

"KIRARA!" A man's voice yelled in front of her. It was Komori. Kayume didn't see his parents, or his sisters. Did they...? She thought, but quickly pushed it away. Kayume buried her face into her friend's kimono, and began to sob. Her mom, her dad, her home, all of it was burned down to nothing. What was she going do now? She had nowhere else to go.

2 years later

"Kayume, we've been through a lot together... Kirara went back to my Uncle Kohaku, and I heard my sisters are safe in another village... What I'm trying to say is, I think it's time for us to go our separate ways, Kayume. My sisters have their lives they need to lead, and I'm going to go find my Uncle. I hope you understand..."

Komori's words stuck in her head. It's been months since she split up from him. Since she last ate or drank, anything. Since she last slept. Ever since the dragon destroyed her village, Kayume has spent the last 2 years trying to find a new home that would accept her. She tried the villages that were close to her previous home, but they just shut their doors in fear of her demonic appearance. Clearly, these villages didn't accept demons like hers did...

This happened every time she came across a new village. So, Komori decided to make a hood for her out of his Kimono, to keep her ears hidden, before he abandoned her.

The hanyou gave up on looking for a village, and decided to just keep on walking. She walked day and night, farther and farther away from her homeland. Until she found herself in the middle of a Town Square. The people didn't even notice her, they would just walk right past her or drive their carriage around her, some even ran right into her. Kayume just stood motionless, hungry, tired, thirsty. It took a while before she pulled herself together, and continued walking through the town.

She turned the corner, and the smell of freshly baked pastries filled her nose. Kayume's mouth began to water as she walked towards the smell, until she came across a small bakery. She pressed her face and palms against the window, and inside she could see a entire row of buns, croissants and danishes. The hanyou slowly entered the shop, and let her mouth hang as she walked toward a silver tray with different deserts. She was brought back from her fantasy, when a small man in a tall, white chef's hat appeared in her face.

"You like what you see?" The chef asked in a thick French accent. Kayume immediately nodded, unable to speak."They're 10 jewel each, but I'll give you a special discount, 2 jewel each." The chef said, as he was examining Kayume's perfect curves.

A deep frown spread across her face. She didn't have any 'jewel' on her, or even know what they were. She even ignored the fact the chef was examining her like a lecterous perv.

"No jewel?" The chef asked, noticing her gloomy expression. Kayume just looked up at the chef with sad puppy dog eyes. The chef just looked at her, unimpressed. "No jewel, no food." Kayume hung her head and walked out of the shop.

She kept walking around town for awhile, until she couldn't take it any more. She stopped in front of a tall, brick building with a banner that hung from the top. The banner had a funny symbol on it. Her breathing got heavier, and her eyelids fought hard to stay open from lack of sleep. She lifted her head from where it was hanging, and noticed a sign on the entrance way in big bold, fancy letters.

"F-Fai...ry..." She started to read the sign, but suddenly lost consciousness and collapsed. She wasn't able to finish reading the sign that read 'Fairy Tail'.
