Inuyasha: A TRUE Fairry Tale

Ch 1
It all started over fifty years ago. Well, the time frame is kind of messed up what with people hopping back and forth through that well. Didn't think i knew about that did you? I'm the 'villain'; I have connections. Anyway, fifty years ago...
I was a junior detective in Kyoto. The job was fairly cushy and the pay was all right. I was engaged to a girl from a good family; I didn't know her, but the match was advantageous.
My life was common, normal, routine. I assumed it would continue that way until the day I died. It would have been a good life, but I was still young and wanted to live a bit before settling down. True, I was a detective, but I had a desk job. Even if I had been a real detective...well law and order weren't exactly common in the Sengoku Jidai. It's a good name for a chaotic time.
So, basically my entire exsistence was unbearably dull. Sure, there was the constant threat of war, but it was constant. War was part of the routine. Then, with one word, my destiny was altered.
Inuyasha
My superior, Watakari-san, was assigned to the Inuyasha case. Everyone knew about Inuyasha; his exploits were legendary. Wherever he went, destruction and ruin followed; he stole, murdered, seduced, and ran amok in general. And all this he did brazenly, as if daring someone to try and stop him. Rumor had it he was part demon, but that was probably just peasant superstition. Part-demon hah! He was just a criminal who had eluded capture so far. I had faith in Watakari-san and hoped he would allow me to help him.
Watakari-san at first refused my pledge to follow him as long as needed to capture Inuyasha. "Onigumo, this will not be an easy case. My family all ready mourns me as lost. Surely, you know that no one sent to capture or kill Inuyasha has ever been heard from again. Please, I do not wish your death on my conscious." But I was persistent and he gave in at last.
That night at dinner, I told my father the news. Disgustedly, he threw down his chopsticks."Fool boy! I will not have you follow that disgraceful Watakari. He has angered someone in a position of power or else he would not have been sent after that thug Inuyasha. You will bring ruin to us if you go; and what of the Moritoki and your intended? Shall I tell them you are a walking dead man? No."
"Father, if I capture Inuyasha, I shall only bring honor and greatness to our family. Watakari-san has accepted my pledge; I cannot turn my back on that!"
All night we argued, and by morning I had been disowned. I can say that calmly now, but then I was distraught. If I ever wanted to see my family again, I would have to defeat Inuyasha.
Only my pride and the belief that I was right kept me from returning to beg my father's forgiveness. So, with only a small pack of personal items, I left my old, stable life behind. Watakari-san and a new life of adventure and uncertainty waited.
AN: Okay brief history lesson. The time when Inuyasha and Kagome are wandering around is definitely the Sengoku Jidai since they mention Oda Nobunaga. However, since this is 50 yrs before that, this is prob still during the time of the Ashikaga shogunate. So there were still wars and what not going on, but for simplicity I'm sticking with the name Sengoku Jidai.
I chose Kyoto as Naraku's place of origin because it was still a place of importance and frequently the capital depending on who was in charge at the time.
Man! Looking at the map of Japan, Inuyasha couldn't have gotten much farther away from Sesshoumaru if he tried. If their father set up his base in Kyushu, the western island, and assuming Sesshoumaru has the same lands, then Inuyasha and the future site of Tokyo are on the totally opposite side of Japan. The only way he could have gotten farther away was if he went up into the northern island of Hokkaido. That's brotherly love for you.
Anything else...uhm yeah. Those other character's names are just sounds that popped in my head. I could try to use actual names but we're sticking with those. Not that they're necessary or anything...
