This is my declaimer; I don't own InuYasha or Star Wars or StarCraft
But I wish I did.
Before the war, things were different. Hell, back then, we were just making our daily livings, doing our jobs, drawing our paychecks, and stabbing our fellow men and women in the back. We had no idea how bad things would get. We were fat and happy like maggots on a dead animal. There was enough sporadic violence-rebellions and revolutions and balky colonial governments-to keep the military going, but not enough to really threaten the lifestyles we had grown accustomed to. We were, in retrospect, fat and sassy.
And if a real war broke out, well, it was the military's worry. The marines' worry. Not ours.

The ground beneath the Dropship roiled with Zerg, and among them, like knights in medieval armor, the Protoss warriors strode, leaving a wake of dead, oozing bodies. Four-legged mechanical spiders crawled through the ruins, and huge things that looked like armor-plated caterpillars assaulted the Zerg hives. Thin and agile Protoss fighters strafed the hulking scythe-Zerg that swept Protoss warriors aside like they were nothing.
"We got a beacon at Four O'clock, you want I should set her down?" The Pilot asked.
"No," Jim Ranyor answered, "We have to save the people down there"
"Whatever, you're the boss, But I don't like risking my Dropship for some people I don't even know" The Pilot said dryly
"Well," Jim snapped, "I'm not asking you to like it, I'm asking you to do it!"
"Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, I'm goin' down" A little smile played across the Pilot's face "Hold on the your asses"
Kagome sat in a dark corner of the school turned bunker. The ground beneath her rumbled with the vibrations of the war going on out side. She took a deep breath of the dusty, stale air and looked around her, a group of Terran Marines were talking in the far corner, looking for some sort of rescue, and they found it.
"Look," One of them yelled, "It's a Dropship, We're saved!"
Kagome jumped up and out of her dark hiding spot. Running out the destroyed doorway of the school, she took a moment to look back at it. This school had been her school, she remembered her grandpa picking her up and her mom dropping her off.
A Terran Marine yelling at her snapped her out of her memories.
"Look out, kid. One of em', one of em' is right behind you!"
She wiped around, only to come face to face with pure evil. The Zerg Zergling was about the size of a dog that she had one had as a pet. But, unlike her dog, this monster had more claws then any living thing needed. The Zergling's purple hide was glossy and coated with the blood of its previous victims. She just stood there, staring into the Zergling's soul-less red eyes. The Zerg reared back, ready to eviscerate her with its claws. She let a scream that was drowned out by the auto-fire of a Marine's Gauss rife. The Zerg Zergling was tossed half way across the courtyard, landing in a heap. A strong gloved hand reached down to grab hers.
"Who are you?" She asked.
"Why, its Jim Ranyor" He replied with a smile.
The Dropship shot out of the Tarsonis atmosphere. Around them Protoss, Zerg and Terran forces were battling, explosions ripping apart space itself. The Battle for Tarsonis escalating around them, A Victory-Class Star Destroyer blew apart a Protoss Carrier with its 5-inch laser batteries. The massive egg-shaped Protoss ship exploded in a blue-white fireball.
"Yee Ha!" A voice over the communications array crackled "Who knew they could come in so many peaces!"
"Roger that Corsica Fire" Jim said happily over the radio "You wouldn't mind if we hitched a ride with you out of the Tarsonis system?"
"Sure" The voice replied, "We'll use our tractor beam to guide you in"
The Dropship lurched as the Corsica Fire's tractor beam latched onto it. Everyone was quite as the Corsica Fire's secondary launch bay drew nearer.
"Alright, this is it" The Corsica Fire's radio controller said "We are about to dock with you, hold on, this might get a little bumpy.
"Ok, standing by" The Pilot responded. The Dropship bumped and rocked for the Corsica Fire's tractor beam. Until, finally, the Dropship entered the bay. The passengers and the Pilots were rushed out and the Dropship was ejected, but not with out some protest form the Dropship Pilots, for fear that the small Dropship would slow the Corsica Fire down. With the battle turning in favor of the Zerg, most Terran and Protoss ship where falling back. The Corsica Fire met up with a small convoy of Rendili StarDrive Dreadnaughts, with them in tow, the Corsica Fire powered up its hyperdrive and departed the system. Leaving Tarsonis to the Protoss, Zerg and the fools who thought underground bunkers were a good idea.
The Confederacy died with Tarsonis. So much power and prestige had been locked up there for so long that with its collapse the rest of the Confederacy went with it.
Before the last Confederate trooper was digested in a Zerg hive, Mengsk declared the Terran Dominion in order to unite the surviving planets, a shining new phoenix that would rise from the ashes and gather together all of humanity. Only by standing together, the former rebel declared, could we come to defeat the alien menaces.
The first ruler of this bright, shining new government was Emperor Arcturus Mengsk I, ascending to the throne by popular acclamation.
The irony of this last little fact, that most of the acclamation was Mengsk's own, was also missed by most of the general populace. After the fall of the Confederacy, the Zerg still ran rampant across the Terran sector, deciding the that they had had all they could stand, the leaders of earth dispatched their greatest Admiral, Jerard De'galle, destroy the Zerg and subjugate the Terran sector once more. The Combine UED, Terran Dominion and Protoss fleets could not defeat the Zerg at the battle of Char. Now it is 7 years after the invasion of Tarsonis, the Human race is banding together to form the United Human Protectorate, and Kerrigan and her Zerg Broods are still running amok a crossed the galaxy.
