Title: Nakama
Scroll 1, Part 1, Passage 1
(This is just an overview of what happened before this story. And this is the part where each character has their profile so you know all the characters and it shouldn't be too confusing.)
Prologue:
Nearly five hundred years ago, a great battle waged. A battle that could destroy the future and change the past. On one side, there was the greater good and on the other, the greater evil. Everyone part of the greater good had pasts clouded in evil, betrayal, sorrow, grief, and curses. All things associated with evil. To be good, you have to experience evil, overcome it, and strike it down. And on the side of the greater evil, their pasts were filled with lust, creating, slavery, disobedience, and power. All things they live with. To be evil, you have to experience evil, welcome it, and let it flow through you.
The people fighting for the greater good, didn't start out as good. They started out worrying about themselves and not giving a damn if they stabbed someone in the back to get what they want. They were evil, to begin with. Evil in the way the people around them taught them to be.
A hanyou who fifty years earlier had tried to steal a powerful jewel from the current protector. A miko. She stopped him, but didn't kill him. This continued for many days. Each came to look forward to it. After a while, they admitted that they had feelings for the other. The hanyou stayed close by to protect her if a demon came by. She came to him one day, with a proposition. She would give him the jewel and he would wish on it to be full human, then her duty would be over and they could live together peacefully. But, that would be too easy. An injured thief that the miko took care of, lusted after her and heard of this. On the day the miko and the hanyou were going to meet, the hanyou mortally wounded the miko and took the jewel. Then, the hanyou, thinking the miko betrayed him, burned the village and stole the jewel out of the temple were it was located. The miko caught up to the hanyou and pinned him to a tree with her last sacred arrow. She told her little to burn the jewel with her body and died right after giving that command.
A strange miko appeared fifty years later and unsealed the hanyou to save her life. A demon was after her, claiming she held the jewel in her body. The hanyou thought she was the miko that pinned him to the tree fifty years earlier and the miko's younger sister thought she looked like her dead sister as well. The jewel was ripped out of her body by the demon and soon after the hanyou killed it and turned on her. The younger sister of the dead miko gave the younger one the ability to subdue the hanyou. A few days later, the young miko shattered the jewel trying to get it away from a demon that had stolen it. Teaming up together, they set out to find the jewel shards and put it back together before any evil demons started doing the same thing. They grew closer and she began to melt the ice that surrounded his heart after his lover's betrayal to him. They had one great journey that would be lost to even history after awhile.
His parents were killed by two powerful demons with jewel shards. A young kitsune was left with revenge burning in him. Not too long after his parents death, he met up with the hanyou and the young miko. And stole their shards. With the help of both of them, the young kitsune was able to have his revenge and the two demons that killed his parents were dead. The young miko, not being able to leave the poor kitsune, forced the hanyou to let the kitsune come with them. The three of them traveled together for awhile before meeting up with the rest of their group.
His grandfather was cursed with an air void in his right hand fifty years ago because of his lechery. The air void was passed down to his father before his grandfather was killed by it. Then the father passed it down to his son, and passed on. The little boy would never forget watching his father be consumed by it, nor would he forget the name of the demon that did this to his family. He grew up to be a monk, but not the best in the vows he took. The monk was a lech, a con-artist, and cursed. Yet, even though all those things may be true, he was good at heart and could always lighten the mood. He met up with the group of three and joined them after telling them his tale and learning about theirs. They all had a common enemy- the demon Naraku.
An entire village of tayaijis was massacred. The best tayaijis were murdered away from home, by a demon taking over the mind of the youngest one there. The youngest one was a young bo of eleven, and he slaughtered his comrades, his father, and almost killed his sister. The demon that did it to him, had him killed soon after. Brother and sister buried together, although the sister soon climbed out of her grave. While her wounds were being treated the demon told her that the hanyou had destroyed her village and killed everyone. The demon went with her and used her to wound the hanyou. After she passed out, the miko made them take her with them as they chased down the demon, who was Naraku. When she woke up, she learned the truth and was taken care of by everyone in the group. In exchange, she told them about the jewel they were seeking and she joined their group. A little after joining their group, Naraku brought back her brother and erased all of his memory. She know lives to free her brother and avenge her village.
A wolf demon who had, had his pack destroyed and had been deceived by the demon Naraku was next to join their group. At first he just wanted the miko because she could see the jewel shards. He soon fell in love with her and became a love rival to the hanyou. It was a year later that he realized he could never be with her because he already had a fiancé, so he decided to protect her like an older brother would. Although, he still fought with the hanyou just because it was what they were used to.
The hanyou's older half brother and the demon and human that followed him around were the last members of their group. The hanyou's older half brother had been deceived by Naraku and wanted revenge. The demon that traveled with him was a retainer and followed him everywhere. And the human was a little girl who had, had her family and the village she lived at later destroyed by the wolf pack. The hanyou's older half brother had brought her back to life after the wolves had killed her.
The people fighting for the greater evil were few. But, the leader could create an army of demons from his flesh. The leader was Naraku, a hanyou made from the broken body of the thief the dead priestess looked after. It was this demon that made the hanyou and miko think the other betrayed each other through the way of shape shifting. The others that were on his side were his 'children' beings made from his flesh. The first one was Kanna of the Void. She had no scent, aura or anything that showed she was alive. The second was Kagura of the Wind. She was a wind sorceress who made it clear that she despised Naraku and would stab him in the back if given the chance. The last detachment that hadn't been killed soon after it's creation by the greater good, was Hakudoshi. Naraku's human heart that was split in half.
The two sides battled for what seemed forever. The greater evil had been struck down, but just barely. Kagura, Kanna and both halves of Hakudoshi lay in pieces in the ground. The demon army also lay in pieces from the attacks of the greater good. The monk was on the ground, bleeding profusely. His cursed hand had been sliced off by Naraku early in the battle. The tayaiji lay not too far from him, next to her brother's body. Her brother had refused to fight her because he remembered everything, but Naraku had stepped in and taken control of her brother once more. Her little brother's body lie in two pieces, cut in half by haraiikotsu. And her brother's sword was stuck in her shoulder and came out of her back. The wolf demon's leg were cut up badly since Naraku had clawed out the shards in his legs. The hanyou's older brother seemed in fine condition, with only minor scratches. However, the hanyou wasn't in the same condition. The bone in his right arm was shattered and his left was almost to the point of being twisted in a sick way. And he had a hole through his stomach, like he always get sin battles. The miko was in better condition. She had been hit by two of Kagura's wind blades in the front in such a way to cause an 'X'. But, other than that, she appeared fine with the whole jewel in her grasp.
They all knew there was only one wish each of them had at the time. The miko smiled sadly and looked around the area one last time before saying her wish in her heart. Each of them had managed to get up slowly and painfully and watched as she made the wish to end this all, they hoped. The monk gasped as a small pink light covered the stub of his arm where his hand had been removed, before it slowly covered his whole body. The sword in the tayaiji's shoulder was slowly removed and covered the wound before covering her whole body. The light started at the wolf's leg before engulfing his whole body. Then the hanyou's half brother was slowly covered in the pink light like everyone else.
The light cleared around them, showing that they had disappeared. The hanyou's arms and stomach were covered in pink light before it slowly consumed him. Finally, the miko had been covered by the pink light and she too began to disappear. But, right before she disappeared completely, a small ball appeared in her hands and it brought tears to her eyes.

Scroll 1, Part 2, Passage 1
"YUKO-CHAN!! Get up NOW or I will FORCE you out of bed!" Kimiko yelled up the stairs as she stood at the bottom of the stairway. Mariko, Takeshi, Isamu, Ryo, Nori and Kiyoshi were listening to Kimiko from the living room.
"I'm UP! Damn! You don't have to yell when I can hear you perfectly well!" Yuko yelled at Kimiko as she came downstairs.
Everyone sighed in the living room.
"Who wants to stop them today so we can leave?" Kiyoshi asked everyone.
"Not me."
"No way in hell!"
"I'm not stupid enough to risk my life!"
"I refuse to break up a senseless ningen no onna fight."
Was heard from Takeshi, Isamu, Ryo and Nori, respectively. Kiyoshi heaved a sigh, hoping he would not be forced to go out there. Into the lioness's den. PMSing lionesses that is.
"I will!" Was Mariko's cheerful reply before she skipped out of the room to where Yuko and Kimiko were.
"Well, that went better than I thought," Kiyoshi replied happily over the fact that he wouldn't be sent out there.
"How can you say that monk! What if they tear Mariko-chan apart!" Ryo threw at him with something akin to fear in his voice.
"Feh. They may be angry, but they wouldn't harm Mariko. She's they're little cohort that'll grow up to be just like them," Isamu replied to them.
"Say that again, half-breed and I will be cutting you a new hole in your face," Nori told Isamu with a death threat obvious in his voice.
Yuko and Kimiko came in with Mariko, after Nori made that comment.
"Stop it you two! I swear you two fight like little kids!" Yuko told them in an admonishing way.
"Now. We need to hurry to school. Yuko and I will drop off Mariko and Takeshi on the way, Isamu, Ryo and Nori you three better go if you want to make it to the office on time. And Kiyoshi- I believe you have students to teach," Kimiko ordered them all as they all began to run off to where they needed to go.
Yuko grabbed Takeshi's hand as they ran out the door and Kimiko grabbed Mariko's hand and ran off with her. They had about five minutes to get those two to school, and another five minutes to get to their school. Fortunately, they managed to get Takeshi and Mariko to school right as the first bell rang. They said their goodbyes and made sure Takeshi and Mariko got in the building before sprinting off towards their school. Once again, the first bell rang as soon as they arrived at the front gates.
"We might as well get our schedules and a map to find our classes," Yuko told Kimiko as they walked into the building.
It didn't take them too long to find the office, since a boy told them where it was. Kimiko smirked at the way he was looking at Yuko. 'Time to play match-maker with my darling sister,' Kimiko thought as they walked into the office.
"Umm.. Excuse me," Yuko called out to a secretary.
"Hai? What can I do for you?" she asked them kindly.
"Do you know where we could get our schedules?" Kimiko asked before Yuko could.
"You must be the transfers we were getting.. Follow me and I will get them for you," the secretary told them as they followed her over to a filing cabinet. "Your names?"
"Nakamura, Yuko," Yuko told her with a smile.
"Nakamura, Kimiko," Kimiko told her right after Yuko.
"Ah! Here they are!" The secretary stated after a few moments of looking for them. "Would you like a guide to show you around?" She asked them after she gave them their schedules.
"No, just a map please," Yuko asked her nicely.
"Alright. I hope you'll enjoy this school!" She told them with a smile as she gave them a map of the school.
"Thank you," Kimiko said to her as they left the office and set off to find their class.
Kimiko and Yuko ran to their first class, hoping they wouldn't be too late. Their first teacher was nice and told them that they would be excused for today only since they were new.

Scroll 1, Part 2, Passage 2
"So, why'd ya call us here pacifier breath?" Yusuke asked what appeared to be a toddler.
"Yusuke! What did I say about calling me names!?" Koenma yelled at him.
"You said I couldn't call you toddler, you didn't say anything about pacifier breath, pacifier breath," Yusuke answered him.
"Yusuke, I don't think you should upset Koenma-sama anymore. He's been under a lot of stress lately," Botan told Yusuke seriously.
"Hmm.. Really?" Kurama asked Botan.
"Hai, ever since he received some message from someone," Botan answered him.
"Keh. It's probably nothing. How much do you wanna bet that he lost something or something got stolen from his vault and he just found out that his dad's coming back," Yusuke told them as Koenma's eyebrow started to twitch.
"I'M STILL HERE YA KNOW!!!" Koenma screamed at them. Everyone stopped talking and immediately looked over to the chibi ruler.
"Hn. Make this quick," Hiei replied from the shadows.
"Whoa! When did shorty get here?" Kuwabara asked no one.
"He's been here all along moron," Yusuke remarked at Kuwabara.
"Who're you callin' a moron, baka!?" Kuwabara yelled at Yusuke.
"You, ya dumbass!" Yusuke yelled back.
"STOP IT RIGHT NOW! THIS IS IMPORTANT!!!" Koenma screamed at them again, effectively getting everyone's attention. "Now, I have just received word that a powerful jewel called the Shikon no Tama has just reappeared after being gone for nearly five centuries. It is said that it's protector back then is it's protector now. We don't know how this is, but we want you to keep an eye out for it's protector and her group of friends."
"Her, Koenma-sama? Kurama asked.
"Yes, her. It's protector is a miko," Koenma answered.
"Hn. Who are they?" Hiei asked.
"It's protector is Higurashi, Kagome. Her friends are: Sango, Miroku, InuYasha, Shippo, Kouga, Sesshoumaru, and Rin. None of them have a last name given. And we have no pictures of them. All we know are their names and that they will possess a great amount of power," Koenma told them.
"Gee. Thanks for the great descriptions... toddler," Yusuke said as he walked out of Koenma's office.
Everyone soon followed, not wanting to be near Koenma when, "I TOLD YOU NOT TO CALL ME THAT YUSUKE!!!" that would be yelled.
"I can't believe that toddler gave us a mission so soon after that last one," Yusuke mumbled under his breath as Botan made us a portal to the human world.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
This is my very first fanfiction. I read all of my cousin's stories and she told me to make one. Well, review and tell me what you think about it. And I know that name thing might be confusing, but it will go away in the later chapters because their identity will be revealed and they will have no reason to uses aliases. Also, if you see any updates for Kurai Mori, it's most likely being posted by me since my cousin got herself a computer ban. Until next time!
