DISCLAIMER: We do not own anything related to Inu-yasha: the characters,
settings, etc. However, the characters known as Liyana and Jynx are own by
us (Nefaratoiel and Angel of Shadow).
N/A: Nefaratoiel and I have come together to co-write this story. We hope you will enjoy it and will enjoy the two characters we have created for this story to spice things up. If you must know, Nefaratoiel has created the character Liyana and I, Angel of Shadow has created the character Jynx. As well, we take turns to write each chapter. Just to take note Nefaratoiel has written the Prologue, so every second chapter is done by her and that goes for me, too. I began with chapter one. If you like a certain style of writing, please feel free to check out the other stories we have written. This is Angel of Shadow and Nefaratoiel signing off. Enjoy!
Among Darkness and Shadow
Prologue

"Hmm . . . Those girls could be useful. Such power . . .It's settled, we'll draw them through the well."

"Why Grand-mama, must I go?" A young child asked an elderly woman.
"You will learn a lot in Japan. It will do you a lot of good." The old woman replied.
"But I want to stay with you Grand-mama." The little girl pleaded.
"No. Now remember what you were told. Keep our secret from everybody no matter how much you trust them." The old lady warned.
"Yes, Grand-mama. I'll remember. But why must we h..." The little girl was cut off by the old lady.
"Because we must! Stop asking questions. You'll be staying with different people throughout Japan. By ten you'll go to the boarding school and eventually, you'll come to see the famous place where the Shikon Jewel once rested. You should be honored that our clan has chosen you for such an education and not one of the other children of the clan."
"I am Grand-mama. I'll learn everything, I promise." The little girl made that promise solemnly and never forgot it. Throughout her entire life she strove for excellence and managed to put herself two grades ahead. Being only seven when she had been sent to Japan, she was now fifteen and a senior classmen at her boarding school. Eight years had passed since she had last seen her beloved Grandmother. The child's name was Liyana [Pronounced Le-yana]. Her short black hair and odd ruby coloured eyes caused her to stand out in a crowd. Unlike everyone else in society she saw nothing wrong with standing out. She was dressed in long, loose silk forest green pants. She wore a black tank top and over that she wore a forest green net-like top. She hardly wore any shoes but when she did, she wore black flip-flops.
"This is so boring," she hissed from the back of the bus. Her school was on a trip to visit all the ancient shrines in Japan as part of their study of the feudal era. Liyana ignored her classmates and settled back with her goth 'friend' beside her. They weren't exactly friends, they were just the only two that would tolerate the other's presence.
* * * * *
"So you are just going to split us all up?!?" A 17-year-old screamed. The girl had shoulder length black hair accompanied with red streaks. Her eyes were an icy blue that flashed with built up anger.
"Calm down Jynx! This can't be helped. After the decisions you've made, this is the last option. The boarding school is famous for coming out with well reputable young women." A guidance officer said.
"Shut your trap dorkshit! You have no idea what I've been through! I am NOT gonna go to some pricky school on the other side of the world and leave my brothers!" Jynx yelled.
The guidance officer sighed, "You have no choice. You've left your guardians no place to live after you burnt down the house. And after THAT, you go and set fire to your school! You're lucky no one was hurt. Your brothers are being placed in another foster home not too far away from here. We'll give you the address. YOU are going to the boarding school in Japan. END of discussion." The guidance officer stood up and left.
Jynx kicked the side of the desk and yelled, "FUCK!" But Jynx could do nothing to change her fate. After a tearful farewell with her brothers Jynx was sent to the boarding school in Japan. When she was told about her roommate, the first words out of her mouth were: "Great, the school smart ass is my roomy."
She heaved a great sigh and cursed softly. Jynx arrived right in time to go on the field trip with the rest of her class. They would be touring around Japan visiting ancient places, where historic events took place back in feudal Japan.
On the second day of the trip, they were supposed to go to some museum to learn more about the feudal era. Jynx sat at the back of the bus with her roomy. Jynx had been surprised at the 15-year-old girl who had skipped two grades. She was a diligent student but outside of the classroom she was almost as bad of Jynx. Almost. Jynx heard her hiss, "This is so boring."
"No shit," Jynx hissed back.
The 15-year-old glared at Jynx, "Fuck you."
"Nice to know just how you feel about me Liyana." Jynx replied smoothly, "But before our relationship goes any further you should know that I'm straight."
Jynx's head turned about quickly as Liyana punched her. Hard. For one so young and seemingly small, she sure could pack a punch. "Whatever." Jynx dismissed what had just happened and returned to brooding in silence.
