Chapter 1: Brought Forward
"What the-" InuYasha began, looking around.
"Hello, InuYasha. I'm glad to see my summoning worked," Shicanto chuckled.
InuYasha looked up at someone that looked very much like his half-brother, Shessomaru.
"Shessomaru! What are you doing here!?" he raged drawing the Tetsusaiga.
"Um, InuYasha, that's not you're brother," Kagome said, "Can't you smell him?"
"Yes of course I smell him! He smells like…." InuYasha tapered off.
"That's right InuYasha, I'm your reincarnation."
"But InuYasha isn't dead," Kagome murmured.
Shicanto nodded. He proceeded to explain that when InuYasha was imprisoned to the Tree of Ages, he was as good as dead. Therefore, a reincarnation of InuYasha was able to be born.
Just then the sun disappeared over the horizon. InuYasha cursed. The sun had gone down on the eve of the moonless night and as the last light faded from the sky, the silver-white faded from InuYasha's hair. He cursed again.
"Oh calm down you idiot! I'm in the same position!" Shicanto fumed.
InuYasha and Kagome looked up in disbelief. Shicanto had become a night-haired human. The lavender demon stripes had faded from his high cheekbones and his once-long claws had dulled to human nails.
What the-?!" The duo stared in disbelief. InuYasha looked down.
"Well it makes sense if he is my reincarnation…." he shook his dark head, "All this is making my head hurt," he muttered inaudibly.
While InuYasha had been lost in his own thoughts, Shicanto had took the time explaining the process of bringing the Feudal Era couple to Kagome. At that point he staggered, leaning against the Tree of Ages.
Kagome rushed to his side. "What's wrong?" she asked.
"I usually don't do anything major this close to the new moon. I'll be fine," Shicanto said weakly.
"Come on, we'll help you home," Kagome offered.
Shicanto nodded slightly and allowed Kagome to help him up and towards the main house. InuYasha just rolled his eyes and followed.
Once in the house, Shicanto motioned to the couch, then stumbled to the bathroom. He swore under his breath, looking somberly into his now-gray eyes. Ilook half-dead, he thought. He splashed water on his face, sighed, and walked back to his guests.
