Avatar Inuyasha: The Jewel of Four Nations

Chapter 1 Mysterious Well

A long time ago, but long enough for people to remember a jewel was born. This jewel united them and allowed them to live in harmony. At this time the jewel was used to balance and protect the people, when the jewel of four nations was used by the Avatar he gained more power and control over the four elements. Only through the jewel were the four nations united and only through its destruction would they be divided.

By the time this story is read, the jewel will be gone and destroyed forever…Until one day…(PRESENT DAY)

"Kagome?" called a trembling voice from the darkness, it was her little brother. "Sota? What is it? I don't wanna be late for school. What is it? Well?" she snapped. "It's Buoyo, he went down by the scary old well; the one in the Shrine," he replied pathetically. "Fine I'll go get him you big cry baby," she paused and rolled her eyes. Kagome slowly walked to the old well. "Buoyo stupid cat, where are you? UGH!"

Suddenly a light appeared from the well. The light danced around Kagome and spoke to her; "Kagome, I've finally found you" said the voice. The light dimmed down and before Kagome's eyes appeared a dragon; not the type of dragon that guarded towers or treasure, but the sort of dragon that seemed friendly and inviting. Kagome quickly trusted the dragon before her, "Where are we going?" "We are travelling back to my time; well at least you are my dear. This old well has been used for time travel for centuries, but only by mysterious creatures such as myself; as for where we are going the feudal era of course. My owner is a mighty priestess named Kaede; she conjured me in order to find you. But all of that will be explained to you in due time," he finished.

As time travel came to an end Kagome felt dizzy and weak. She followed the mighty behemoth across the village. The village was small and filled with odd looking folk. Most of the peasants were farmers and fishermen. The houses were made of long stretched logs that extended outward toward the sky.

An elderly woman appeared, she had a patch over one eye and her hair was held back by a single white ribbon. "Hello Kagome, I am Kaede the village priestess." She smiled with delight and bowed toward Kagome. "I have summoned you here Kagome because the world needs you. You have an important task ahead of you, I have foreseen it. Please come into my home we have a lot to discuss." Then Kagome followed the old woman into her dwelling. Her home was primitive and barn-like. They sat down on mats, Kaede began, "Kagome do you know the history of the four nations?"

"Well I've heard legends and myths but no facts that I can recall why do you ask?" she wondered. "It all began with the four nations living in harmony. Each nation could govern and control a different element; the Water tribes, Earth Kingdom, Air nomads, and the Fire Nation. All of these nations were united through the jewel of four nations, a powerful jewel which was created by the first Avatar to create balance and harmony among the four nations. Only the Avatar could bend and control all four elements, but with the help of the jewel the Avatar could wield his power to its full potential. The nations each gave the Avatar a gift when the jewel was created, these gifts were united together and the jewel was born. When these gifts of water, air, fire, and earth were united in the jewel harmony and balance were achieved. However, years passed and the Fire Nation destroyed the jewel in order to gain power. By destroying and separating the jewel the Fire Nation made it impossible for the Avatar to use his full power; without the jewel restored the Fire Nation will continue to reign over the world. But with your help perhaps we can restore balance, reunite the jewel, and find the Avatar, so we can stop the Fire Nation once and for all," the old woman stopped and looked at Kagome.

"But Kaede, I don't understand how can I help? I am from the future so why bring me here?" Kagome asked confused while gazing into the fire. "Well Kagome I had a vision of you. In my vision, you helped us find the Avatar; my vision told me that the man you fall in love with will be the Avatar. So finding you was essential, for several weeks I have sent my dragon into the well to search for you! And now that you are here you must help us," begged Kaede.

"Wait a minute? You want me to sit around in some primitive time period and fall in love with some boy? I have another life back in 2010, can't you find another Kagome? Even if I did stay what would that accomplish; it could take me years or months to fall in love with someone. I'm sorry but this is kind of crazy you kidnap me from my time period and expect me to fall in love! UGH! I want to go home so if you'd excuse me," said Kagome as she made her way toward the door.

"Kagome I forgot to mention that you cannot time travel until this task is completed, the well is completely sealed off," said Kaede through a sarcastic grin. "But in the mean time you must tell no one what I have told you. If word got out to the Fire Nation that you can help locate the Avatar then you will be kidnapped."

"But I've already been kidnapped by your giant pet lizard remember?" she said while pointing at the dragon. "But if the Fire Nation only knew you could help locate the Avatar, they would use you to hunt and kill him. Please stay with me and Katara," begged Kaede coldly. "Katara?" "Oh Yes! Katara is my maidservant and a Waterbender." "She can waterbend?" said Kagome surprised.

"Yes I can," interrupted Katara. "Hello, I'm Katara let me help you find a room." And with that Kagome was forced to stay and fall in love with the Avatar.
