Jaken's Protector: Konnichiwa! I'm Jaken's Protector!
Kiky: And I'm Kiky!
JP/Kiky: And together, we're the paradox bro....erm, wrong anime. Sorry.
JP: We're here to bring you our first joint fic, One Heck of a Flashback.
Kiky: And you'd better review! Or...
JP: Jaken-Sama, toast!
Jaken: Nin-tojou! ~FWOOSH~
Kiky: Exactly!
JP: Now for the disclaimer stuff. Jaken-Sama?
Jaken: Arigatou. Ahem. DISCLAIMER: Jaken's Protector and Kiky do not own
the anime Inuyasha or any of its characters, including me. JP is my only
worshipper! Rumiko Takahashi owns everything we type here, except for
Kougawa High School, Taishou Antiques, and the teachers/secretary/principal
in the school. Thank you.

~~~One Heck Of A Flashback – Prologue~~~
Kagome Higurashi awoke with a start, sitting bolt upright in her bed. Sweat beaded her brow. She rubbed her eyes and glanced over to the digital clock on her bedside table. 4:19 AM. 'Wonderful,' she thought. 'Now I'll never be able to go back to sleep.' Yet she attempted, fluffing up her pillow and snuggling warmly under her comforter. True to her thoughts, though, she couldn't sleep again, no matter how hard she tried to lure the sandman in.
It had been two years since the defeat of Naraku. Two years since the well had lost its power with the destruction of the Shikon no Tama. Two years since she had last seen Inuyasha. To her, it might as well have been twenty years. She highly suspected that she loved him, and having to go back to her own time was the hardest thing she'd ever had to do in her life. Ever.
Finding no solace in slumber, as it were, she gave up. Yawning mightily, she rose, went into the bathroom, and started a nice, hot shower. As soon as she was clean and ready for the day she got dressed for her first day at her new high school, and was all set. But it was 4:52 in the morning. So she contented herself by going downstairs to whip up a breakfast in order to distract herself from her thoughts.

Meanwhile, a most uncommonly-dressed man in a white business suit, blue shirt, and golden tie was attending to the inventory of his small antique shop. He adjusted his round, silver-framed eyeglasses and raised the current object of his attention to eye level, almost reverently, holding the ancient sword with both hands. Carefully, meticulously, he set it on its intended rack, making certain that it was in perfect order. His eyes snapped to the back door of the shop, where a loud rattling was coming from the living-quarters room. "Eric!" The man snapped. "Calm yourself!" And so the rattling ceased. His eyes flickered briefly from their normal deep brown to a light golden color as the yellowish lighting caught them, then returned to his everyday hue as he returned to the sword. He murmured a single word as he polished the worn scabbard. "Tetsusaiga..."
JP: Ooh! Spooky! Kiky: Who is the man? JP: And how does he know Tetsusaiga? Kiky: And why are munchkins so underrated? They're people too! (Munchkins in the Wiz, I mean. No offense ^_^) Jaken: I command you to review! JP/Kiky: Flames will be added to Nin-tojou's wrathful blast. Ooh, that was good. Anyway, please review. Ja ne!
