Authors Note:

Hello people of the internet who love Inuyasha Fan-Fiction as much as me. Welcome to my story. Before I start, however, I would like to properly introduce myself. My name is SmedTheVagabond or Smed for short and I'm a new author to Fan-Fiction. While I have never actually written a story of my very own and have never really published any of my own stories, I have read many; far to many to count.

Anyways, now that we've met, I would like to proudly announce that I'm here with a brand new Inuyasha Fan-Fic. I am overly excited to start this new journey and I hope all you lovely reader's out there over the inter-webs will stick with me through the whole process.

This story was inspired by episode sixty-two of Inuyasha when Tsubaki casts that evil spell on Kagome and she forgets about Inuyasha and the gang for a little while. I was watching that episode late on night and it was one of those things where the story just magically pops into your head all of a sudden.

I honestly don't know how long this story will be. I have it all planned out in my head, but I'm not sure how long that will take. I'm planning on at least Twenty to Twenty-five chapters. Probably even more.

I wrote a preview for the story to see the reaction from my readers. I want to know if I should continue. If nobody likes it and nobody wants to read it, I don't want to continue with it.

So, without further ado, I present for you ladies and gentlemen (mostly ladies) The Five-Hundred Year Difference. I hope you enjoy!

This preview is a bit confusing I know, but trust me when I say it will all be explained in due time.

Alright then. Carry on all of you little Cottonheadedninnymuggins. Carry on.

Story Preview: The Death

It was like drifting in suspended space. Or floating in water. Dark water with no beginning and no end. Though it wasn't water at all. It was...the end. Or what she supposed was the end. The ending to a beautiful journey.

This was it.

Unavoidable darkness continued it's onslaught; enveloping her completely, sending Kagome and her already fatigued mind into a deep state of utter confusion and uncertainty. A million questions bursting inside her all at once. Where was she? Why was it so dark all of a sudden? Where had she been before the darkness had consumed her?

These questions, followed by many more, went unanswered. The only thing she was positive about was the small nagging feeling in the recesses of her brain. It urged her - no demanded her to remember….Remember something she couldn't properly grasp with her mind strings.

The color crimson suddenly danced before her eyes, shortly followed by a distinct streak of silver and a flicker of gold, momentarily surrounding her with a unknown warmth and serenity.

The bright color's flashed vividly beneath her eyelids and she reached out a hand to touch the familiar shades, to hold them close to her heart. But all she caught was empty nothingness. The colors faded all too quickly and she was consumed by utter darkness once more.

What was that? she wondered idly. Moreover why did those colors feel so…comforting to her? Familiar?

Again her mental questions went unanswered as she continued to let the obscuring darkness entrap her in its inky web. She didn't fight or resist it. She was the darkness's willing victim.

Why? She didn't know.

What little she did know was slowly fading away; something to do with a...pink pearl? A gem? Something about four souls? Like that made any sense.

She was trying to get away and escape from something. Or rather someone.

"Kagome don't leave me!"A sudden voice, a gruff voice that was just as surprisingly comforting as the colors she'd seen, somewhere in the unending darkness called, pleading. "Don't go!" She opened her mouth to reply to this but no words came, only a garbled sound that resonated from the back of her throat, vibrating through her chest. "DON'T LEAVE ME, DAMN IT! KAGOME!"

She wanted to answer the all to familiar voice but still her vocal cords refused to cooperate. I'm sorry, she thought solemnly, unable to answer the person aloud. I have to go. Her response was a still quietness as the voice faded away.

All of it was surprisingly peaceful. The outside world around her was hushed, quiet, and everything slowed into a calming rhythm of nothingness. It was like a very surreal dream that she just happened to be immersed in.

She didn't even flinch as she felt her lunges begin to collapse - her heart beginning to slow dangerously as oxygen wasn't circulating through her blood anymore.

So, her mind mused, coming to the impending conclusion. This is what it feels like to die. Its...peaceful.

And it was. Her death was a peaceful one.

A/N:

So what did you think? Good? Bad? Fantastic? Horrible? Im sorry it was short but I couldn't give too much away.

Well if you liked it let me know! I'd love to see what ya'll think so far. And if you didn't like it...well then...this conversation just got awkward.

Anyways this preview is a little confusing, I know. Its supposed to be that way though. I want you to be confused. Confused is good. Embrace the confusion. *Congratulations!* The confusion is now your best friend.

I'd feel like I failed this chapter if you understood what exactly is going on. You might feel the same way about the first chapter as well. But after that, it won't be so, for lack of a better word,...weird.

So review if you want. Tell me what you think. And if you don't, well then...Inuyasha might just have a little, shall we say,...'accident.'

*Rubs palms together and grins evilly.* MUWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!

Ok.

Im done.

Im sorry Im so weird.

I cain't help it.

Its hereditary.
