The Quill and the Frame
Chapter One [ The Destruction of Forest Seasons
All characters of InuYasha belong to Rumiko Takahashi. The character Kisetsu is a character created by me the author and is completely fictional. Please enjoy the fanfic.
On side note the chapter names make no sense so don't take to figure them out. But if you find the connection let me know. Let me know if you like the fanfic and feel free to ask any questions, maybe I'll write more or add another character.

"Seeing the future wasn't enough for the powerful demons of my time. The power to control time was more of an ultimate weapon for any powerful demon. That dream became a reality. Mikos and their obsession to be rid of us demons created the tool they call 'The Quill'. With it any human can control time provided they knew how to use it but what the humans didn't know was that demons can use this monstrous tool as well. My family destroyed it seeing the both human and demon can live in harmony. But just like time it escaped to the future hoping that someone will bring use to it."
Naraku escapes from InuYasha and his friends with the help of a special shard. This was no ordinary shard, and it came from no jewel. InuYasha instantly knew where it came from as Naraku made his escape in a flash of light.
"Dammit! I was so close!?" InuYasha shouted banging the ground with his feet. Kagome could only watch as InuYasha had his fit.
"But what was the strange light Naraku escape in?" Sango asked looking at the spot in the sky where Naraku once stood. InuYasha's ears twitched and turned towards his friends.
"That was a shard from the Mirror of Time." InuYasha stated with a grim look on his face. Kagome looked up at him and asked, "How do you know that?"
"The demon who owns that mirror is Lady Kisetsu; she was a friend of mine when I was a child. About one of the few demons that accepted me for who I am." InuYasha said looking up at the sky reminiscing.
An image of a young girl appeared in his mind and the words 'friend' echoed in his head.
"Is she still alive, InuYasha?" Miroku asked walking up to him as Shippou hung on to his shoulder.
"I wouldn't know only one person would know, her fiancée." InuYasha said his eyes lowered in a thinking pause.
Kagome concerned, wondered then finally asked. "Who could it be? It would never be Sesshomaru would it? "
InuYasha gazed at Kagome at her question and gave a nod as Miroku, Sango and Shippou were surprised to know Sesshomaru had a fiancée.
The trio buzzed with questions as to what, why and how, but InuYasha stood silent and Kagome broke them off from him. "Let's just find Sesshoumaru so we can find this Kisetsu person!" Kagome shouted at them.
The group agreed, Kagome hopped onto InuYasha's back as Miroku, Sango and Shippou hopped on Kirara's back and they began to race off. Kagome had a sad solemn look thinking about InuYasha's reaction to Kisetsu's name. 'He must of loved her at one time and when Sesshoumaru and herself got engaged he must have been heart broken' Kagome thought.
InuYasha sniffed the air constantly, trying to locate his brother still thinking about that day when he first met Kisetsu the far away day.
A little InuYasha playing with a ball bouncing it happily as the people around buzzed about nonstop. InuYasha was in his family garden minding his own business, dancing about on the bridge. He finally fell forward towards the water until a graceful hand grabbed him and he found himself in a young woman's arms. InuYasha looked up at the young woman in awe as she smiled.
"T-thank for saving me, I don't know how to swim yet." InuYasha said as the young woman put him down.
"Your welcome InuYasha, just be more careful." The young woman said her face still blurred, for InuYasha can't remember what she once looked like that day. "We are friends…"
"InuYasha!" Kagome called as they were running straight into a tree and InuYasha gave a huge leap to dodge then a released a deep breath.
"I'm sorry Kagome I must of, lost myself in thought." InuYasha apologizes.
Not too far Sesshoumaru was walking with Rin in his arms. Rin was shivering and red hot with a fever. Rin took a hard grasp on Sesshoumaru's arm, he felt helpless not being able to help her. As he walked into a empty spot of forest he whispered words and a mansion temple began to appear.
"Do not worry Rin, help is near." He said as the doors opened for him to enter and as he entered the doors closed behind him. The mansion disappeared once more.
Lesser demons watched as Sesshoumaru walked towards the main building in the mansion and they begun to talk amongst themselves. "Silence!" Sesshoumaru echoed and every demon quieted. A woman ran out of the main building wearing a beautifully decorated kimono with black lilies. Her hair was dark but medium for length her skin fair near pale. She ran towards Sesshoumaru and Rin taking her from his arms gently. All she did was hold her head and she finally turns to look at Sesshoumaru with eyes the color of emeralds with crimson makeup that only made her eyes more beautiful. Three mirror floating behind her shining brilliantly as she stood holding Rin.
"Rin has a high fever and the chills, I don't know if I can help her Sesshoumaru." The woman thought and her eyes just widen a bit then said, "Find your half brother, he is searching for you." Sesshoumaru gave no response only did what she said and disappeared. The woman held Rin tightly and took her inside as the lesser demons followed closely to help her.
InuYasha stood looking around in the forest dumbfounded. "He was here then his scent stops."
"Maybe jumped to a high place." Kagome exclaimed.
"Impossible. There are no cliffs or trees high enough for him to hide in" Sango said placing her weapon to the side. Miroku walked examining the area they were in as Shippou still stood his left shoulder. "What are you looking for Miroku?" Shippou asked.
"This area in the forest feels different then other there." Miroku says pointing where Sango stood near the trees. "And this area has no trees, it quite large as if something stood here once before." Miroku said examining the ground carefully. "And there is sand here."
"Sand? Why sand in the middle of the forest?" Sango asked as she and Kagome walked up to Miroku. InuYasha stood still watching from a far.
"You're a very pretty today Kisetsu…" InuYasha said with a blush holding on to the young woman's hand.
"Why thank you InuYasha, I think you're pretty handsome yourself." The young woman said with a smile. 'This girl treats me nice not like the other demons or human slaves we have here.' InuYasha thought. The pair continued to walk as InuYasha's mother; Lady Izayoi walked out and noticed them. "Kisetsu, your father beckons you" She said softly noticing InuYasha's hold on Kisetsu's hand.
"Is it that time already?" Kisetsu breathed deeply then smiled. "You ready InuYasha?" looking at InuYasha who just nodded and followed Lady Izayoi into a room. There sat Lord Taisho accompanied by his other son Sesshomaru, Lady Izayoi took her place behind her husband as Kisetsu let go of InuYasha's hand.
"Go with your mother InuYasha." Kisetsu said with a smile as InuYasha took her smile and sat by his mother. Kisetsu sat by her father looking at Sesshomaru then looking down.
"Don't lose yourself in thought half breed." Sesshomaru voice rose from the shadows then he finally appeared.
"Sesshomaru." InuYasha said angrily. "You just the person I need to see sadly."
"The feeling is mutual half brother." Sesshomaru said walking towards them.
"Wait you were looking for InuYasha, Sesshomaru?" Kagome questioned.
"Kisetsu requires his presence at her castle." Sesshomaru stated as InuYasha's eyes widen.
"Lady Kisetsu is still alive?" InuYasha asked his half brother."
"Of course, a demon of her power cannot be easily put down InuYasha, you of all people should know that." Sesshomaru covered his mouth as if he was going to whistle but whispered words instead. The mansion walls appeared behind the group and InuYasha blazed in as the others followed closely.
"They come." Kisetsu silently says.
( Thanks for those who read it this far. I'm sorry the chapter is so short but I'm getting into the motion of things. The next chapter will be short as well but anything after that will be long enough. )
