Hello, and thank you for taking the time to click on this story. This is an Alternate Universe fic, so I thought I'd make a little pre-story note to explain some things before we dive into the tale.

Something that's going to be a very important factor for my story is religion. In this alternate world that Inuyasha comes from, his country is immersed in war because of a religion. The religion itself is similar to Christianity, (specifically Medieval Catholicism), in practice. Old Testament to the extreme. The best way to describe it is Handel's Dixit Dominus

Dominum a dextris tuis confregit in die irae suae reges.
(The LORD at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath.)

Judicabit in nationibus, implebit ruinas; conquassabit capita in terra multuorum.
(He shall judge among the nations, he will fill them with ruins; he will crush skulls over populous lands.)

Having said that, if you are Christian, PLEASE do not take offense to how I use it as reference for this story. I admire it is a religion. A lot. I mean, back in the day, people were still building wood and mud huts… but then pulled places like Amiens Cathedral out of their butts. It's fascinating, really. I myself was raised Catholic, and I love the ritualistic aspect of it. I am rather open-minded and accepting of every religion, as I am considering minoring in Anthropology. Not one religion is 'wrong', but not one religion is the absolute truth in my mind. Everyone is right, because everyone has different opinions.

So… please don't be offended by the nitty-gritty nature this story takes. There's going to be a lot of unpleasant moments that might make you cringe or get angry, but keep in mind, this is just for entertainment's sake.

After this AN, I'm going to try and not write any more notes, including things before the chapter starts. I feel like whenever I read stories, I usually just skip them anyway. If I do write a note, it will be suggested music or clarification of historical facts at the bottom of the chapter to clarify some things.

Anyway, enough about politics and views and… everything.

Being in the midst of college, stressful family issues, (my parents are divorced), and a number of other events going on, my updates have become a lot less frequent.

…sorry...

I'll try to be better in the future. Again, thank you for reading my story!

A tout a leur,
