Away With Alice , Steals The Hare

~ Chapter One ~

Illusions

Authors note : This particular story came to me while listening to a hypnotic tune , one that will be featured in this tale, and gave me a different possible outcome to the loveable, feudal fairytale , Inuyasha. Begining where the battle ends , and the craziness begins upon venturing within the Shikon Jewel itself , Enjoy.

Naraku was playing with them , this they all knew , but for the reasons why the bastard wasn't really fighting , only halfheartedly blocking their attacks, neither of his opponents had a clue. It was only upon the words that was spoken by their miko, Kagome, that any of them gathered that something was indeed off, and furthermore proven by the answers that Naraku gave in return.

"The jewel never gave you what your heart desired , only twisted your wish , hadn't it?"

A moment of silence prevailed as the beast in front of them feigned ignorance to her question , but had regrettably pondered it . Causing his fury, his hatred only breed for the jewel to feed , and silently the words passed the bastards pursed lips , as the jewel granted his corrupt request.

In the end it was for the miko , the one who the the forged hanyou , twisted with greed , and hatred could never begin to understand , but knew with the upcoming battle with her ,within the jewel would give him ample time to try , alas while doing so , as her friends would surely join her in her fate soon enough, Naraku would spend eternity playing with, and torturing them further. It didn't matter to him , as now he now knew in this fight , Naraku would not prevail , for Kikyo's copy was just too strong , with Kagome's new found power, especially with the bitch having known that her friends were by her side, but within the jewel was a different story for it was doused in the vile emotions that were devoured by the now cursed , magical ball of malice .

For the others, now standing , as they fought outside of the small enclosure that Naraku had once entrapped them with his lure , but now in the open , being pushed back by the result of the relentless attacks on the ominous visage in the sky . The villagers had all but vacated the area , as the group of warriors continued to fight, among them was a demon slayer; Sango, a perverted monk with the cursed wind tunnel searing his covered hand; Miroku, a reincarnated miko traveling to , from another time ; Kagome, a brave ,strong but irritably ,confused hanyou ; Inuyasha , a walking dead priestess ; Kikyo, and her sister ; Kaede , all fighting with everything they had to end what had been plaguing there lives for what seemed like a neverending constant , for who knew how long anymore.

It was known until just before Naraku's end had made it fact known , without giving any time to stop it , only hinting to what his wish had given away too to late , and when Naraku's reign did fall , Kagome's disappearance , as well as the magical well , carried with it , then the others remaining, falling unconsciously into the blackened abyss, followed soon thereafter.

This was Naraku's last attempt at prevailing , in a battle that was known to soon end, towards the ones, and the things that had yet still to be conquered , in a world of the jewel's making .

~ Awakenings~

A woman , now dressed in a dress of blue , with trailings of white here and there, with the trim around it's length, the apron , and the collar that came around the slope of her neck. Long black tresses had lifted from the forest floor , as her lightheaded skull rose from the ground floor , when she realized that she was now alone . Pushing up to stand , brushing off that of her attire , and running her fingers lazily through her inky locks , as the female looking through the woods of towering tress , finding nothing but a misty dark. Deciding to walk forwards, instead of staying still in the spot that was chosen , trying to decipher as to whom , or where she was at this point , as the woman went.

A bit father away , within the same forest, a male with ears that were lazily fallen against a hardened surface with that of his head , started to flicker from side to side , as the young creature realized with the confinements of his seemingly new attire that was restricting , and the place where he know rested was certainly not within a tree, but sitting at table instead. For reasons unknown , even to the somber male himself, looking at his watch oddly placed on his wrist , and one that somehow was known wasn't there before , then jumping up from his seat in a hurry because it was realized something was wrong , that there was somewhere he had too be , but as of now couldn't remember. With the words flying quickly from his strained lips , the mysterious creature began then to soar within the trees.

"I am late, I am late! For a very important date !"

The woman awakened prior , still wandering through a unknown forest , then soon coming to a clearing with a table placed strangely in the middle of it , as though it was supposed to be there, but something told her that it wasn't . Although , even so , it was what suddenly flew from the area thereafter , that had the woman convinced that something was definitely wrong , and that wherever , whatever that was now , wasn't was what was supposed to be, but didn't have a clue what that was, only that it was different from the way things stood now. Hearing the creature yell , as it told that he was certainly late for something , and that the male because of it was rushing to get to that unknown place in a hurry .

So , with that in mind that the woman had finally found someone else in this mysterious void , and not wanting to be alone decided to follow , trying to get it's attention , then maybe finding where it was that she truly belonged..

"Hey !Wait , please ! "The woman cried ..

"I am late , I am late ! For a very important date ! " The male's answer was yelled after to trail behind him , as he ran.
