This story is based loosely of Disney's Aladdin. It is a Miroku/Inuyasha fic, which means yaoi, if you don't know what that means don't read it.

I own neither Aladdin or Inuyasha.

For your information, I laugh at flames. I also poke fun at them with a stick. Constructive criticism wouldn't hurt my feelings though.

Enjoy.

Prologue

Diamond in The Rough

It was a dark night, with no clouds. The stars shone like gems in the sky. A tall foreboding man stood in a clearing, with a small demon-like thing on his shoulder. The man had long black hair and he wore a white baboon pelt over his clothing. The demon insect on his shoulder buzzed. A small skittish demon walked over nervously.

"So, do you have it?" The tall pelted man asked, coldly.

"Ye-yes, I got it." came the reply. When the other man began to reach for it the demon pulled it away "What about my payment?" He said grinning.

The reply was as menacing as the question. "You will get your payment. Just give it to me." The item in question was half of a small circular mirror. Once he had the object he took the other half out from beneath his pelt. Once the two pieces were one, the object glowed and moved quickly over the clearing.

The two men had to move quickly to keep up. A minute later the mirror placed itself at the base of a mountain.

With a horrendous growl, the front of the mountain began to lift up, forming into the head of a gigantic dog. It rested its lower jaw onto the ground.

"Finally I have found it! Now," he motioned to the demon "bring me the jewel."

The smaller demon began to walk towards the mountain-dog. Before making it into the mouth the creature began to speak.

"Who disturbs my slumber…?"

The small demon begins to speak. "It is I…" he is cut off by the head.

"Know this, only one may enter here, one whose worth lies far within, a diamond in the rough". When he finished the demon looked back at his retainer nervously.

"What are you waiting for, go on!"

The demon walked into the cavern. The demon screamed as the head roared, snapping shut.

"Find the diamond in the rough" It disappeared. The small insect demon buzzed off the ominous mans shoulder.

"Yes, we must find this diamond in the rough in order to get the jewel. Damn"

The insect picked up the two half's of the mirror and dropped them into the man's hands. In their haste to leave, the pelt flew off. Reveling a menacing demon with long black hair and piercing eyes. The two of them raced away into the dust.
