Disclaimer- I don't own Inuyasha
Extinction
The bright moon shone upon the bloody battleground. Inuyasha lay hunched over clutching his side. His black hair blew in the cold night air. Just a few more minutes until he'd be demon again, well half demon if you want to be technical. Kagome and Miroku escaped the battle without a scratch. The same could not be said about Sango and Shippo. They were caught in a blast fired by an offending thunder demon and lied unconscious under the watchful eyes of Miroku and Kagome. Demon remains littered the ravaged grounds.
At the precise second the day passed Inuyasha's hair returned to shiny silver. His dog ears shot up out of his head and his eyes turned back to golden. His claws returned and Tetsuiga was usable again. He took a deep breath. It was good to be him again. "Damn that Kagura. I can't believe she got away again," He voiced angrily, clenching his fist.
"Inuyasha. Sango and Shippo are badly hurt we need to get them to Kaede immediately," Miroku called to him.
"No way," Inuyasha shook his head. "Kagome sensed a jewel shard not to far away. I'm not going back now."
"Inuyasha," Kagome said scooping Shippo into her arms. "You heard the man. They need medical attention."
"I said no," Inuyasha said stubbornly.
"Sit boy!"

Naraku sat waiting in his castle. He held the almost completed Shikon Jewel tightly in his hand. It was only a matter of time before he became full demon and be rid of the pathetic fool Unigumo. The door opened from behind him. "What is it Kagura. Is Inuyasha dead yet?"
"No he is not. The thunder demons were destroyed to the very last one."
He turned around and glared at her and she returned it defiantly. His ranks were growing thin. Word must have spread about the immediate expiration of all those who joined with him. Plus the wolf demon tribe. They were located all across Japan and warned all those they came in contact with about him. And then that demon lord. It was harder to find a good pawn these days.
~ In Kagome's Time
Lani Ament glared at everyone who dared to meet her gaze walking home from, what could possibly turn out to be, the worst day of school in her entire pitiful existence. Expelled ten minutes in on her first day. That had to be a record. Her dad was going to kill her.
A pinkish, small piece of jewel swayed on a silver chain around her neck. How was she supposed to know he was the principal's son. Besides, he got what he deserved. So what if he was knocked out, good. So what if she could've done mental damage, even better. That would teach him to keep wandering hands at bay. She ran her fingers through her fiery red mane. It went down to her mid-back and was kept in a high pony tail, braided down.
Stupid zero tolerance crap. Why did she have to move here in the first place. Man was her dad going to go ballistic. She continued to glare out of cold-as- stone blue eyes until they rested upon a medium sized rock. She kicked it as hard as she could and smirked as it hit a wall and left an imprint. She had a tendency to take her frustrations out on in-animated objects. It was better than taking them out on animated objects she always said. She held on to the piece of jewel around her neck. She had it since the day she was born and it was the only thing constant in her life.
"Karrra."
She stopped in her tracks and looked around. "Must be hearing things,"she thought out loud. She continued walking wondering why she was hearing hisses.
"Karrrrrra."
There it was again. This time she was sure she wasn't hearing things. It came from her left. She followed it to a residence that had a temple ground(aka. Kagome's place). She looked around to see if any one was watching. Seeing it all clear she entered.
"Karrra."
She came to a door and slid it open. The room was pitch black besides the light that seeped in through the door. "Hello." she called. There was nothing there but a well. She came up to it and looked down. The bottom was shrouded in darkness. The jewel began to glow. "What the," she screamed as she found herself falling into the well. She braced herself for impact but it never came.
She opened her eyes to find herself sitting at the bottom of the well. Sky could be seen at the top. A little dizzy she climbed out and fell to the ground. Ground? Wasn't she inside? What used to be temple wasn't. Trees coveted the distance and nothing seemed familiar. "Ok this is weird," she secured her backpack and began looking around. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhh," she screamed as the ground caved under. She hit a side and slid down into shallow water. Groaning she grabbed her aching head. As she lifted her head her eyes came upon feet. Then legs, knees, and up into the smiling face of a ghost-like old man. She wanted to scream but she could hardly breath let alone scream.
"So you've finally arrived," he said cheerfully. He laughed at her confused expression.
She stood up. "Where am I and who are you?" she asked. She jumped three feet when two more ghost-like people popped out of nowhere.
"I'll explain everything to you. But you must not interrupt me until I'm finished. Do you understand?" he said. She just nodded her head not knowing what to say. "Good. Now where do I start?" He said thoughtfully. "As to where you are. Feudal Japan, you were brought back in time to help prevent the extinction of demons." He raised his finger as she was about to say something. Demons as are humans, very complex creatures. Why some want the world human free, others wish to live in peace with them. This along with many other differences of opinion causes the demon's to wage war with each other. Eventually, this will lead to their extinction. As in your time, demons are no longer among the living. You with me so far?" he asked. Once again she nodded her head.
"This destiny was foreseen by many. However their fate could not be changed during that time. So they looked to the future and the past. A group of demons and humans sacrificed themselves, preserving their souls and powers to be used to prevent this occurrence. Two of whom stand beside me now," he said.
Lani looked at the two ghostly figures beside the old man. One was a women with chin length black hair and red wings. She had black eyes and wore an all black kimono. The other was a man with spiky brown hair and purple eyes. He wore white baggy pants and a black unbuttoned over jacket without a shirt.
"The extinction can not be prevented without the power of all the sacrifices. Unfortunately, the soul of a very powerful priestess was not freed. She was battling a great number of demons and saw she would not come out alive. She had to release her soul in the middle of battle. It crystallized becoming the Shikon Jewel. You wear a shard of it around your neck. Lani looked at her family heirloom. Great just great.
"Her soul cannot be freed until it is reformed and she is called upon by her rightful master. Therefor the future can't be changed until then. These two are yours," he said pointing to the man and women. The others have gone out to find their masters. Only problem is that they won't even know they have them. That's where you come in. When you come across a fellow possessor your shard of the shikon jewel will glow. You must teach them how to call upon their souls. Once you gather all the possessors your shard will turn black. Remember the priestesses soul is not included. The recipient of her shall already be a possessor and they will know, believe me.
Lani tried to swallow it all down. If only she hadn't slapped that boy this would have never of happened. She lost her breath as the two souls passed into her.
"Are you ready to learn how to call upon their power the old man asked." This was going to be a long, long day.
