Chapter 1 - Strangers from Another World Part 1
Somewhere in Feudal Japan, in a dark cave, a group of heroes had cornered an evil demon known only as Naraku. Naraku's immense dark powers combined with his scheming mind had managed to spare him defeat many times, but the heroes were confident, as from the looks of it, the beast had nowhere to run.
"Let's see ya get outta this, Naraku!" shouted one. He was Inuyasha, half demon son of a great dog demon. He had silver hair that went down the back at about thigh length, with two lengths of hair that came down the front at about armpit length, with bangs that covered his forehead, not to mention dog ears. He also had yellow eyes, clawed fingernails, and wore a red kimono with a sword sheathed at his side and a necklace made up of beads and fangs around his neck. As he drew his sword, it transformed into a giant fang-like blade with fluff covering the handguard.
"Time to get what you deserve!" shouted another. This one was Kagome Higurashi, the reincarnation of a powerful priestess from Modern-day Japan. She wore a japanese schoolgirl uniform, with a white shirt, green collar with a single white stripe, and a red neckerchief. Along with that, she also wore a green mini-skirt and shin high socks, had brown eyes and flowing black hair at about upper back length. She pulled an arrow from the quiver on her back and aligned it with her bow, taiking aim.
Another, a monk called Miroku, reached for one of his sutras. He had short black hair, and wore a black kimono with a purple cloth tired in a bow and slung from his left shoulder. This cloth reached to about his feet. He carried a golden staff and wore a purble glove one his right hand, accompanies by prayer beads.
Also present was the demon slayer called Sango. She wore a strange, ninja esque uniform, had long hair set in a ponytail, and was accompanied by her companion, a two tailed demon cat known as Kirara. She held a gigantic boomerang and readied to strike with it.
In the back was Shippo, a small fox demon child who wore a turquoise patterned shirt with a yellow sleevless jacket over it, tied with a blue ribbon and clue pants. He had orange hair set in a ponytail with a light blue ribbon and had pointy ears.
"So you really think you can destroy me now, Inuyasha?" said Naraku, with not even a pinch of confidence gone from his voice.
"Watch me!" Inuyasha screamed as he drew his sword back to make a swing. "Wind Scar!"
With that he struck the sword to the ground, and as he did so, a great flash of energy pulsed from the ground and moved twoard Naraku. It was dispelled, however, by the demon's barrier.
"Damn" said Inuyasha, who had failed to remember Naraku's barrier.
"I have important matters to attend to" said Naraku. "I don't have time to deal with you right now, Inuyasha."
With that, he revealed a strange gateway that had been hidden behind him. With a flash of his demonic power, the gate flew open and a strange light eminated from behind it. Naraku wasted no time in jumping through, as the doors began to close.
"You're not getting away this time, Naraku!" shouted Inuyasha, who gave chase, and was followed by his teammates.
They managed to just barely make it into the gate before it closed. As they flew through the strange new dimmension that seperated worlds, they lost conciousness.

some time later..

"Inuyasha..."
"Master Inuyasha! Please wake up!"
Inuyasha finally came to, in the middle of a forest. He awoke to see Kagome.
"Kagome, were's Naraku?" Inuyasha asked urgently
"Neither of us are sure, Master Inuyasha." said another voice other than Kagome's
"What the...?" Inuyasha said quizzically as he spotted the elderly flea demon known as Myoga on his shoulder. He work a yellow kimono with four sleaves, and was very small. "Myoga? Have you been here the whole time?"
"Yes," the flea responded "though I am unsure of what became of Naraku or the others after you rushed into the gateway."
"Where did it take us, anyway?" asked Inuyasha "It just looks like an ordinary forest."
"I'm not sure, Inuyasha." said Kagome. "Something feels weird."
"Yes, I also feel a great sense of displacement." Said Myoga.
"So he's finally awake." called out another voice, which turned out to be Shippo, who had been gathering food. "It's taken long enough."
"Be quiet, Shippo!" demanded Inuyasha
Please, fighting won't do us any good." Kagome interrupted.
"I have to agree with Kagome." Myoga said. "It would be wise for us to seek out some nearby people to get an idea of where we are."
"Oh, Alright." said Inuyasha "Maybe they can help us find the others as well."
Since Kirara was nowhere to be found, Shippo was forced to act of the means of transportation by transforming into his giant bubble form. Soon, they spotted a village in the distance, and decided to see what they could find out about their surroundings. The villagers, though, were a bit puzzled at the appearance of these newcomers. Finally, they were invited to drink tea with an elderly couple at their home.
"So where exactly are we?" Kagome asked, sipping her tea
"You're in an Earth Kingdom village." spoke the old man. "Not a very big one, but a home's a home, and we love it anyway."
"Well, we sorta need help." Inuyasha said. "We got seperated from a few of our friends. One of 'em is a monk, the other is a demon-slayer, and they had a strange looking cat with them. We were in the middle of a fight when we got seperated."
"Were you attacked by Fire Nation soldiers?" asked the old woman
"What? Fire Nation? We just need help finding our friends." Inuyasha said.
"wait, Inuyasha. What exactly is this 'Fire Nation' thing you mentioned just now?" Kagome said
"You don't know?" said the old man "The Fire Nation has waged war on all the other Nations. It's been this way for a hundred years. They're expanding their empire, taking homes, and hurting people."
"That's terrible." Kagome said
"Yes." said the old woman. "It's been a constant struggle. Our own grandson is out there fighting them, and we're not sure if we'll ever see him again."
"I feel so bad for you." Kagome said.
"Don't feel bad." said the old man. "Didn't you hear? The Avatar has returned, and he's going to put a stop to this war."
"The Avatar?" said Kagome, interestedly
"Yes" said the old man. "He is a master of all four elements, and he maintains the balance betwean the nations. He'll put the Fire Lord and his place."
Inuyasha, no longer content to listen to their rambling and in a rush to find Naraku and their friends, stood up. "Well, we hafta get going. Thanks for the information." he said, half-heartedly, knowing that Kagome would be ready with a sit command if he didn't mind his manners.
As they left the house, they were met by Shippo, who was, again, gathering food.
"Hey guys, you oughta try these things! A villager I talked to said they're called "Lichi nuts", they're great!" he shouted
"Maybe later, Shippo" Kagome said
"So where to next?" Inuyasha said "Since the old geezers were minimal help, where do you suggest we look?"
"Inuyasha.." Kagome said "Don't you feel bad for them?"
"What's to feel bad about?" Inuyasha said "War happens, it's part of life. And they said it was getting taken care of"
"Yeah, I know.." Kagome said "but I just feel like we could help them."
"Listen, we have to find Naraku, or have you forgotten? We have to have our priorities in order, and I don't think we can afford to get ourselves involved in a war." he answered. "Shippo, you know what to do."
"Oh man, I'm not looking forward to going through this again." Shippo said, as he transformed into the giant bubble again. "Let's get this over with."
As he climbed onto Shippo, Inuyasha said " I don't know anything about any Fire Nation or Avatar. But both of them better stay outta my way."
They then flew to the sea in search of clues.
