Star Wars

The Inuyasha Story

"My young padawan, you will resume your training once you reach Earth and find Master Taisho. He will be the one to continue your training. I promise he will take very good care of you. I am very sorry that I could not finish your training but as you know, the Sith are gaining power and the wars have no end in sight. Master Yoda has for seen the fall of the Jedi by the end of this war. Death of all Jedi is what he said. I wish to protect you, for you to live and become a master like I know you will be. Unfortunately, I will never see the day that you become a master for I and all the other Jedi will be dead, extinct. Complete your training my young padawan. Then, go and defeat the Empire and let the Jedi live again. May the Force be with you, my young padawan."

The hologram faded as Kagome set the messenger back in her closet where she had hid all of her Jedi related things. Like her Lightsaber and her Jedi uniform. She sighed heavily as she pulled out her Lightsaber and held it within her hand. It was not as heavy as it had been when her Master had given it to her, but, she was only 4 when she was given her weapon. She had grown very quickly while upon earth. Upon landing, she was captured by the native primitives and raised under them. Though she may have changed, she was still the eager Padawan she had always been.

Kagome had searched high and low for this "Master Taisho" but there were none to be found. She lost hope that she would ever be a Jedi Master. She placed her Lightsaber into her new, smaller, Padawan backpack. She also placed her training cloths into it with some Ramen and her Hologram Messenger. She buckled all the straps and set it onto her floor. She went back into the closet and pulled out an outfit that was more suitable for traveling and fighting than her school uniform. She had thrown that thing away the minute she dropped out of high school. Once she was dressed, she called her backpack to her with the Force and placed it upon her back. She then ran down the stairs and out the back door. Dodging her "Mother" and "Grandfather". Jumping the cat and her "Brothers" soccer ball. She used the force to open the well doors so she could just jump in and be free.

Kagome jumped into the well, hearing the cries of her "Family" fading behind her as the well's magic transported her to the past. To a place she could train and meditate in with barely any disturbances. When she landed at the bottom of the well, she looked skyward to see that it was around mid day. She also saw that Inuyasha had cut all the vines within the well so she could not return. She sighed heavily as she Force jumped out of the well.

"Sure clad Inuyasha wasn't around to see that. He would have a fit if he knew I was more powerful than him. Then again, I could always use the Jedi Mind Trick on him to make in forget what he saw and why he was angry with me. I think he's simple minded enough for that trick. Even though Master said never use the Force for greed, only self preservation and the saving of others, that would be a form of self preservation. I mean, I would be saving not only myself but my friends from his wrath."

Kagome thought upon it a moment longer before she sensed a great disturbance in the Force. Reaching into her pack for her Lightsaber, she scanned the area for any life. She followed the Force to the disturbance and readied her weapon for attack. She calmed herself and concentrated on isolating the disturbance. She felt some one with a great connection to the Force approach her. She turned in that direction and waited. Her master had always told her to let the Force guide her opponent to her, never her to it, for that is the path to the Dark Side.

"Using the Force for self gain is still greed, even if you are saving yourself and others. A choice like that will lead you down the path of the Dark Side."

Kagome opened her eyes to see non other than SesshoMaru standing on the other side of the clearing. She didn't understand, why was SesshoMaru lecturing her about the Force? He was a Demon Lord, not a Jedi. It didn't make sense. She held her Lightsaber in attack position and readied herself to kill the Demon Lord. She watched in fear and surprise as he drew his own Lightsaber and readied it for battle.

"Do not fear me, Padawan, fear leads to the Dark Side. Once you start on the path to the Dark Side, you can never get off of it. You will forever be changed into a Sith and never be a Jedi Master."

SesshoMaru stated this bluntly as they began circling each other.

"You are surprised that I know the ways of the Jedi and that I carry a Lightsaber. I can sense your feelings. I am strong with the force, Padawan. Unlike you, I am a veteran of many battles and have trained my entire life under a Master. You can not defeat me. Back down now an I will let you live."

Kagome looked at SesshoMaru a moment. His stance told her that he wasn't kidding. She had only seen her Master use that battle stance. They had been on the moons of Degoba. She placed her Lightsaber back in her pack and waited for SesshoMaru to put his away as well.

"How can you be a Jedi SesshoMaru? This planet is too far out of the range of the Council, you couldn't have been sent here on a mission."

"Padawan, I am a Jedi Master because of my father, Master Taisho. He and my mother were banished here when the Council found out that my mother, Master Shishio, had become pregnant and that my father was the cause. My father trained me to be a Master and I surpassed him. Then he had to let Inuyasha be born and die trying to save him like the weak hearted fool he was."

"Can Inuyasha use the Force?"

"No, the hanyou is oblivious to its existence and to the fact that I, as well as our father, Master Taisho, are powerful Jedi."

"Wait! Did you say Master Taisho?"

"Yes, he was my father. Why do you ask Padawan?"

"I was sent here by my Mater to train under a Master Taisho!"

"Prove it."

Kagome quickly pulled out her Hologram Messenger. Handing it to SesshoMaru, she started the message her Master had left in it. They listened to the message very carefully. Once it was done, SesshoMaru handed it back to her and pulled out his fathers Messenger. He played the last message it had received. To his shock, the Padawan was right. He stopped the message and put the messenger away. He looked at Kagome a moment before speaking.

"You were the Padawan that never came."

"What do you mean?"

"We waited a century for you to come. Then we lost hope and my father died."

"So, that means I'll never be a Jedi Master."

"No, it means I must train you."

"What!"

"I made a promise to my father that if you arrived after he had become one with the Force, that I was to train you in his place."

"Now how are we supposed to do that? I travel with your brother and we are enemies!"

"If I train you at night while the idiot is asleep and we act like enemies when we meet otherwise, Inuyasha will not suspect a thing."

"I could also convince him to let me leave for extra training and practice."

"Are you ready, my young Padawan?"

"Yes, I'm ready to become a Jedi."

"Good, then meet me in a clearing after dark. The Force will guide you to my location. Make sure that no one questions why you are gone. Understand my young Padawan?"

"Yes my Master, I understand."

"Good, good. Until then, may the Force be with you."

"Yes and my the Force be with you as well my Master."
