Prologue
Inuyasha and the five others are on an adventure for the sacred Shikon Jewel Shards to restore the Shikon Jewel and set things right. Their search takes them far to the west. Farther then the Western Lands which belong to the great Lord Sesshoumaru. At the forest where all animals are giants just as they were in the dawn of time, there are wars of good and evil, of man and beast. The demons there are very different than those of the northeast. This land is a place of gods......... and of demons.
Part 1
San and Ashitaka are in the forest enjoying a secret, but nice picnic. Accompanying them are Yakul, Moro, and San's two wolf brothers. Ashitaka brought, food, and meat for the carnivores of the bunch.
Ashitaka offers some of his pork fried rice to San, "Here, try some of this. It has pork in it. I know you like pork, San."
"Sorry, you know I'm against eating human food." She declined.
"But San, it's the same things you eat only, made a different way." He urged.
"You know, San, he's right." Moro told her daughter
"Oh, fine, I'll try it. But only because mother said so." She caved in.
She took a taste, and paused. A big smile appeared on her face.
She turned to Ashitaka in a burst of enjoyment, "This is the best food I've ever tasted!!!!! Thank you, Ashitaka for opening my eyes and showing me new food!!!! What do you call it?! I must know!! It's delicious!"
Ashitaka wasn't prepared for her reaction. He was in a bit of a shock. She did almost jump on him in her excitement.
He managed to find the words that he was searching for, "Um...................I think it's......um........well I don't know what it's called, but it's rice, fried pork, and some vegetables.
And taking advantage of him at this half-dazed state, San took almost half of his meal. She wasn't sure how to eat it. Ashitaka noticed all this after a second or two. He was a bit peeved but had an extra set of chop sticks. He showed her how to hold and use them. San wasn't too great with them, but she learned quickly, and scarfed down what was left of her share of food. It already had a name but because it was the first cooked food she had, and with Ashitaka, she decided to call it wolf rice. The night grew cold, so they decided to go to San's den. It was all right with the wolves that Ashitaka spend the night there. The next morning Ashitaka and San woke up early. They had sensed a new presence in the distance.
Part 2
Inuyasha and the group, were on their way in the direction that Kagome sensed a jewel shard. They stopped before entering a large forest. Inuyasha could smell something. He knew it wasn't demon. It was a new scent in the air. He'd never smelled anything like it. He also caught a whiff of a male human, and what sort of smelled like a human, but a little different. Shippo smelled it too. And he realized what it was.
He went up to Inuyasha and tugged on his pant leg, "Inuyasha, do you smell that? I thinks it might be a god of some kind."
Stunned that it might be true he replied, "Yeah, I smell it. But I don't know what it is. Maybe. But, I also smell humans near by. Maybe it's a different kinda demon. Or a demon that can mask it's scent. It kinda smells like wolf."
"Yeah. I think you're right." Shippo said a little uneasy.
A monk as walking the path along the edge of the forest. (AN: You all know that's Jigo right?? You BETTER know!) He turned and looked at all their strange out fits. Especially Kagomes.
"Don't you people know what in there? There's big animal gods, and a wolf girl. Not to mention demons!" He advised
"Who are you? And why are you butting into our busine--" Inuyasha began but was interrupted by Kagome.
"Can you tell us where? See we're looking for the jewel shards, and we really don't know anything or anyone here."
"Sorry, but I don't know. Most anyone who enters in that forest usually never come back out again. To enter is certain death. But if you want I can take you to a place to stay for a while." The Monk offered.
"Hmm. That would be a wise decision Inuyasha." Miroku said, and soon after they all agreed.
The monk's name was Jigo. And he served under the emperor. Who ever that was. He had many questions for the bunch. He was especially interested in Inuyasha and Shippo.
"So, let me get this strait. You, Inuyasha are a half demon. And the demons where you are, are not animal gods who've been corrupted. And, this girl with you named Kagome is a reincarnation of a powerful priestess, but from the very far off future. The other woman, is a demon slayer, that small cat thing is her companion, and that young man is a monk, such as myself, but with a wind tunnel in his hand. Hmmm.....interesting.... You people aren't from around here, are you? And what are these things called "Jewel Shards"?" The monk was very confused and he didn't believe half of it but went with it anyway.
Sango took it from there, "Yes. I'm Sango, that monk is Miroku, my companion is named Kilala, (AN: I spell it KILALA! I don't like spelling it KIRARA! So deal with it!) That young fox demon is Shippo, and you already know of Kagome, and Inuyasha. We've come from the northeast. A long time ago the priestess Kikyo, protected the Shikon Jewel. An evil being named Nuraku tricked her to try and steal it. A long time passed. Inuyasha tried to stop a demon and get the jewel back from it. She shot at it but hit the jewel. Kagome shattered the jewel a few months ago with her sacred arrow. And now we're trying to recover the shards."
A look of pure confusion came upon Jigo's face. Then he realized that the fortress was in sight. Just beyond the hill and across the lake. Everyone except Jigo was shocked at it. They went down a hill and onto the docks where they had small boats to cross the lake. When they arrived on the shore everyone was there waiting. The leader of the place, stepped down to greet them. It was a woman leader, who looked as is she commanded a military of some sort. Her eyes fixated on Inuyasha, as everyone else. 'Those ears, and silver hair.....' She thought.
