The Sands of Time

Disclaimer: Okay you've all heard it before but to avoid the evil demon lawyers I have to say it. I do not own Inuyasha or any of the characters within. Though I wish Kagome and Ayame were real….they're SO kawaii.

Prologue: The Journey Begins

Through the marble halls two young people walked. They both appeared to be in their mid-teens, a boy and a girl and they seemed to be arguing about something. The boy had long silver-white hair and dark brown eyes. The girl had black hair tied in a ponytail and the same dark brown eyes as her male friend.

"I don't understand why you should go Curtis," the girl said in a choked up voice, "I'm just as skilled as you are."

"And that's the very reason why you HAVE to stay here Julie…because is I don't succeed you need to be here to lead the attack," Curtis said, "We didn't choose this, it was chosen for us."

"It still isn't fair!" Julie shouted.

"Look, I'll make a fair…coin flip. Whoever wins will go okay? I'll even let you call it," Curtis flipped the coin and watched it flip over and over in the air.

"Tails," Julie said as Curtis caught it and slapped it down on his hand.

He looked at the coin and sighed, "Sorry Julie, it's heads."

She looked thoughtful and asked, "Two out of three?"

Curtis shook his head and walked with her into a chamber where several old men in robes were chanting in a strange language. The oldest of the men stopped and approached the two young people.

"You have decided?" he asked.

"Yes sir, I will go," Curtis said. The man held out a sword with a shimmery blue blade and Curtis strapped it to his back as a window in time appeared before them all. Before leaving he hugged Julie, "I promise that I'll win, cross my heart."

Julie shed a few tears, then smiled and said, "You better!" As she waved Curtis jumped into the window that had opened before him and everything went blurry in his vision as he was transported through time.
