During the feudal era of Japan, there were many wars/battles. Man against man, Demon versus Demon and so on.

There is a group that travels, that tries to bring peace and to collect the shards of the Shikon Jewel. There path has been smooth, but there is a bump or two. This time there is a boulder in the way...

Ch.1 The Troubles

"What? What do you mean closed off?" yelled the half breed boy.

"Sadly it's true," said the old man, "we had quite a quake, and the hills crumbled down."

"AAARRRGGG! I GUESS WE WILL JUST HAVE TO CLIMB THE RUBBLE!" He continued to rant and rave.

"Sorry about that. Inuyasha can be quite a hot head..." Kagome was interuppted.

"who are you calling a hot..."

"SIT!" Inuyasha pummeled to the ground.

"thats alright... I guess." the old man glanced over at the newly planted Inuyasha. "You can try but I highly doubt you will succeed." He gave a sinister grin. "well have a good day!" he smiled and walked off.

"that guy was kinda c..cr..creepy!" the young fox said as he hid behind the monk.

"Now now, he might just be insane or something..."

"yeah that really helps ." whispered the demon slayer to Kagome.

"Well lets go already!" the group followed the angry Inuyasha.

Meanwhile...

A village beyond the forest where the travelers are was in a uproar.

"My daughter! She is gone!" Cried a beautiful young mother. "Mia where are you? Mia!"

A man ran through the village with a sack over his shoulder. A muffled voice came from the bag, "LMET MEF OUFT!"

"Shut up you brat!" he yelled.

"There he is!" the whole village ran after the man. He ran and hid in a broken down house.

After the man saw it was clear, he ran towards the bank of the river.

He trudged throught the water and stood in the middle and waited. A canoe picked him up with 2 other people in hoods. "did you get her?"

"of course i did. Now lets get out of here!"

The little Mia was able to tear a hole, 'Where am i?' She saw the man who took her and the a person in a hood. 'These guys scare me! I want my momma! I want to go home' They continued down the river .

We are almost...there.." Inuyasha said, he became tired from moving the rocks and rubble.

"Let's take a rest and setup lunch here." She put her bag down and started taking things out.

"great idea Kagome!" he moved towards Sango.

"Don't you dare try anything you lecherous monk." She got her hirikos ready. (her boomerang thing. SP?)

"heh heh. Whatever are you talking about?" he scooted away.
