Protologue

In Japan 500 years ago when demons existed, In a valley, where the sakura trees flowered, and scattered pink petals drifted in the wind, It looked beautiful, perfect for a picnic or festival. A group known for the defeat of Naraku, and for restoring the Sacred Jewel, was using the very scene as a rest stop. However, for them, this beautiful scenery did not change the 'mood' for their group.

Chapter 1

"Maybe we don't need you in this group anymore!" Kagome screamed.

"Well maybe," Inuyasha argued "you do!"

Kagome and Inuyasha had been arguing for as long as I could remember, and I was growing tired of it.

"Miroku," I called to my husband trying with all of my might to sound as calm as ever. "Could you please do something about those two?" Miroku answered me even calmer, but I knew he was as agitated as I was.

"Sango, you say that as if they are our children." He said while bathing our youngest at the river's edge, "There is nothing we can do , and nothing we could have done in the first place to prevent their fighting." Miroku paused and looked at the two.

"Fine! I don't need you! I'll just leave! We'll see how long it takes for you to come back to me!" Inuyasha screamed, turning to leave into the thick forest. Shippo immediately jumped onto Inuyasha's shoulder.

"Inuyasha please! Don't leave, we need you!" He squeaked, his high pitched voice even higher than usual.

"See Kagome, Shippo knows I'm right! One day without me and you guys'll be dead before ya' know it!" Inuyasha said still screaming.

"We don't need him Shippo, he can leave if he wants to!" Kagome said.

"Kagome, Inuyasha!" I pleaded "Please see reason!". This was the first time Inuyasha had ever 'really' been about to leave! The two would always threaten each other about seceding from the group, but never had they actually been about to! We all were important members to the group, and we need each other most now! Something was bringing back the dead. It had brung back Naraku and with him the Band of Seven, and all the other villains that were alive within his time. Without Inuyasha and we would have died fighting Naraku!

"Ya' know," Inuyasha shouted "I don't even care OK? You can stay here and believe all you want. But mark my words! I'll show you why you need me!" With that he stormed off. We lost him. He was gone now.
