+Chapter One- Destiny Unfolds+

The loud and sour sound of his siter's voice rung in his still sleeping ears; "Oh dear brother of mine, PHONE!" she sceetched loudly through his plain bedroom door. He opened one dark brown eye and glared at his sister through the door, "Who the hell is it?" He asked dangerously. 'Whoever the hell it is, it better be damn important.' He thoguht to himself, pushing himself off the warmness of his bed. It was a small bed, only covered with basic white flannel sheets, and a blue blanket with a pillow at the head of the bed, nothing fancy at all. He sighed feeling the cooler air hit his still unadjusted body. He walked clumsily to the door, occasionally tripping over some objects on his floor, starting with his kantana and ending with a bright orange converse shoe. he finally reached his door in his half asleep staus, "It's the only girl who always calls!" She said glaring slightly with the dark eyes her and her brother shared. He grabbed the phone from her hand hastily, and shoed her away using his one free hand, alreadying knowing well who it was. "Hello?" He asked, his voice was still tinted from not using it resently, "Hey, you sound tired, did I wake you?" She asked in her usual upbeat voice. He smiled lightly at her concern, "Kind of... But it's ok. What's up?" He asked, walking back into his bed room and closing his plain white door behind him. "Well... it happened again." She said in a soft voice. He already knew what she meant, she had had another of what they liked to call "vision" for months, possibly even years, they had been blessed - - or rather cursed with the ability to get day dreams or sometimes dreams of what would happen in the future; they usually came true. As of resently though, they're visions had be come dark and twisted; the world becoming tainted with evil, and soon destoryed. They had each thought nothing of it, until they discussed it with one another and discovered the other was recieveing these "visions" as well. The most disturbing for each, was when they saw the other hurt of course. They were the best of friends, and not willing to let the other get hurt at any cost.

"Oh... What happened in it?" He asked after a moment. This was his not-so-rude yet disturbing awakening. He didn't mind being awakened by the girl, it was just the fact, that, she was so distressed about this. "Well... that man that keeps showing up, you know the one with long black hair? Well, he came to me... I was helpless, and he leaned foward and whispered something against my ear, before pulling away and smirking at me. I saw he had fangs! He wansn't human.. Or at least wasn't full human, anyways, then he bit my neck and chanted something, something that looked kind of like a ghost surrounded us. He was laughing, I was screaming. Oh, I was chained up, so I couldn't exactly move, but then I don't know how, but with a flick of his hand, he revealed somewhere in the US, and he showed it to me, before clenching his hand into a fist and instantly destorying the city! It was horrible... And I was so weak... I couldn't... I couldn't stop him." She spoke gravely, and began to cry at the end. That, instantly caused him to worry for the girl; he HATED it when girls cried, especcially her. "Hey now, don't cry, it's ok. It won't happen, I'll make sure of it." He said softly to the girl in an effort to stop her tears. He wanted to comfort her then, but, she was temporarily out of his reach. "I'm really starting to get scared." She wispered, "Don't worry, feh, like hell I'd let anything happen, they'd have to fight with me first, and they wouldn't win." He said, his voice was tinted with cockiness. She sighed before speaking, "God, you're too cocky little boy." She said with a small laugh, triggering his growl; She giggled, "I swear, you're part dog or something! Like Inu yasha!" She said jokingly of course. "Feh." He said closing his eyes at the girls comment, "Stupid btich that's impossible." He mummbled, he was then answered with the loud ringing of one of the buttons being pressed on the other side of the conversation. It caused an instant pain to seer through his sensitive ear, he pulled his head away, "Shit!" He yelled touching his ear lightly, before placing his other ear next to the ear piece of his cordless black phone. He prepared to yell at the girl, only to be greeted with silence; she had hung up on him. He growled dangerously; he sat up quickly while almost throwing the phone against the wall, but held back this action. In a flash, he was sitting in front of his computer; he had walked out of his bedroom, down a hall, took a turn and was now sitting at the fairly new desktop computer. With a few clicks of his mouse, he signed onto his AIM, to look for the girl who was always on. Not seeing her screen name listed he growled again, while glaing at the screen, he sighed off and signed on her screen name with a small smirk.

ss4gtmonica: Gr! i really should change my pw!
ss4gtmonica: feh, yeah u should if u dun want me hacking on 2 here ss4gtmonica: w/e... im sorry... i kind of over reaccted.

That instantly hit his concience, making hiim feel guilty for his name calling when she was scared and he had just nearly made her feel better. He sighed, not responding for a moment, before typing,

ss4gtmonica: its ok. im sorry 2. i shouldnt have called u dat. 4give me?

He waited there for five minutes, getting ready to tell off any guy who mentioned something he didnt find acceptable for them to be talking to her about.

ss4gtmonica: ... you're still here. ss4gmonica: ... damn you ss4gtmonica: lolol luv ya too!

ss4gtmonica: psh! psh! psh! psh! psh!

He sighed off her screen name with a small grumble. before getting on his own screen name.

he ignored his gut feeling that he shouldn't hav allowed her to walk over to him, and stood up with a small sigh, bringing up a fairly tanned hand and raking it through his considerably long black hair. He smirked lightly and stood... Now, steal the phone back from his siter, grab a few things, and he could leave.

Else where, the girl cawled out of her bed, her laptop at the foot of the large creme blanket covered bed, and her cell phone on the side table. She hummed lightly to herself, her pajama covered body enjoyed the feeling of the morning air hitting her body. She smiled lightly, sh had made her way into a small bathroom and looked into her reflection; her fair skin was fine almost glowed in contrast to her black hair, and the bangs that hit her blue-gray eyes. She had already been through her morning reautines, but applied a bit of dark blue eye liner and black mascara. She then tossed her clothes off of her body and quickly got dressed.

She walked out of her three story house, her cell phone in her knee length black bondage capri pocket, along with some money and pepper spray, which occasionally jingled as she walked down the nearly empty street. The streed was framed by evergreen and cherry blossom trees, along with flowers and various oher plants. The nieghborhood was quiet though close to a place where gands often gathered. She still was humming while walking in her mid calf length combat boots. She paused when she heard something behind her and looked, but found nothing. With a shrug of her shoulders, she continued onward.

She was so close to her destination, she could see it from the bus stop she was next to now, however, suddenly, a hand wrapped its way over her mouth as she attemped to scream, the rough hand jerked her closer and against her attacker's body she moved violently, jerking around madly trying to get loose. He yelled at her, but in her panic, she was unable to process his words. She stompped on his foot, causing his hand to loosen, she moved her head, "Inu boy!" She cried out; it was his nickname. She prayed he'd hear her call.

He had been waiting there for 10 minnutes now, she was really late, usually she arrived around the same time he did. He sighed, "Where could she be?" He asked himself lightly, before hearing the call to him not even a block away. He looked over the crowded parking lot and saw her, the man that hand her captive looking an aweful lot like... He gasped, it was the man from their visions! He reached next to his backpack, whipping out his sheathed katana, he slid the sheath off of it quickly placing it ontop of his bag and running so fast, he was only a blurr. He arrived to the girl in seconds, and was now pressing the blade against the man's throat. "Let. Her. go. NOW." he ordered dangerouly, his eyes almost seemed to flicker red for a moment. The man, carried obvious fear in his red orbs, and he smiled at the boy instantly letting the girl in his arms go. She moved away from him, and in a second was behind the boy that had saved her, touching his shoulders lightly her eyes were brightened with the tears that shined in them, "Who are you?" She asked with a shaky voice, "You may call me, Naraku." He said simply, smirking, before literally vanishing into thin air. Four eyes widened, before the dark brown eyes turned to the pair of blue-grey ones and looked in shock at them. She wrapped her arms around him, before brurying her head in his chest, "I'm so scared." She whispered. He had heard it, even though it was lightly muffled by his clothing. He brough up a tanned hand and laid it against her head, while wrapping the other arm around her waist shyly, still holding the kantana in his hand. "Shhhh, don't worry he's gone now. Let's go get some food ok?" He said in an attempt to get her mind off of the resent event. She nodded lihtly against his chest before pulling away. He smiled down at her, and moved the arm that was previously against her dark hair, to around her shoulders. They began walking to the starbucks. Once they were there, he put away his kantana and they ate and drank with conversation, before heading back, with no unusual disturbances.

Hours passed, and soon it was sunset, the golden light only providing enough light for them to see eachother in one of the rooms on the lowest floor of the three story house. She sighed lightly and rested her head on the boy's shoulder. In front of the two a few eppisodes of Inu yasha was playing, but neither of them were really watching it, they were both too wrapped up in their own thoughts. He looked down at the black hair of the girl resting her head on his strong shoulder. He reached out to the wooden coffee table in front of them and clicked the power off. The screen instantly went black as did the room; in the darkness she looked at him, he instantly wrapped his arms around the girl and buried his face into her hair, inhaling deeply so he could smell her beautiful scent of the usual lilacs. She sighed and wrapped her own arms around the boy, almost nervously. "I want you to be prepared to fight alone... I'll die protecting you, without me... You have to learn how to not be dependant on me." He spoke softly, "N-no. I already saw it... I die first. Besides, you think I'd let you die protecting me?" She asked in a small voice, "What? How?" "We were fighting that man we saw today, don't know how but... I got stabbed and- -" She paused hearing her parents coming down the stairs. The instantly twisted themselves and pulled a blanket over their laps and closed their eyes silently and quickly. The older man and woman walking down the stiars and the strong hand of the older man turned on the light to reveal to two seemingly sleeping children, "Guess they're really tired. We'll leave them, they'll wake up later." The man spoke in a deep and powerful voice, "Yeah, must say so. We'll leave them a note though." the woman next to him spoke in a deep voice for a woman. The two quickly retreated upstairs after turning the light back off and left the teenagers alone in the house. They both opened their eyes but did not move out of the new positions. his arms tightened around her, "Well.. I got stabbed, by someone else, some miko looking chick, I was weak, and then I had a sai next to me, don't know where the other one was though... Anyhow, I pushed myself up, stabbed her and fell foward in death, the last sound I heard was you whsipering my name." She said, completeing her staement from earlier; she had been lying but for his good. He nodded gravely, his lips were tugged down in a frown, "Hn." He said, he closed his eyes, feeling regret wash over him... regret from what though? He shruggged off the emotion and just sighed, "Don't worry... we won't reach that point for a long time... I'll make sure it doesn't come true." He whispered into her ebony hair. She nodded softly, "I feel so safe when you're here it's the only time I can sleep peacefully." She whispered, her eyes became heavy and they fell. "It's the only time I can sleep peacefully too... 'Cause it's the only time I know you're really safe. G'night little girl." He whispered once her breath had evened and the sleeping world claimed her for their own. He held back a smirk, he could never call her little girl, she always got furious at him everytime he did, so this was the one time he could say it. He sighed contently, and waited for several minutes, before he felt safe to allow himself to dwell into this alternate universe.

In her dreaming world, she was floating in an endless plain of black. She opened her eyes and gasped, and heard it echo for what seemed like endlesss miles. She looked around with silence ringing in her ears; she looked down, she was in some weird outfit. A short pleated and tattered grape purple, her top was a silver belly shirt, it would've been sleeveless if it wasn't for the off-white see-through fabric sown into the shirt for sleeves, they went down to her elbow. She looked to her shoulder, expecting to see her fairly long black hair resting on her shoulder, but it wasn't there. She moved her wrist length black gloved hands go up to her head, to find her hair was tied up in a high bun. She dropped her hand back down to her side and looked to her feet; they were covered in knee length black boots. She bit her plain pearl pink lips and looked around again expecting to see nothing, but prayed she'd see someone or something. Her prayers were answered when she saw a familiar but unfamiliar character floating ahead of her. It looked like.. a human version of Inu yasha, down to the fire rat red haori and hakanma... But, he was just... a legend... wasn't he? She somehow began almost swimming towards him, it seemed the only way for her to move. She was soon floating in front of the ebony haired boy, he was still asleep from what it looked like, his breathing was even and he looked relaxed. She touched his shoulders and shook him lightly, untl his dark eyes opened a minute later, she reconized those dark eyes... they belonged to her best friend, "Inu boy?" She questioned lightly, her voice continued to echo. The boy looked at her with wide eyes and a slighly parted mouth before looking into her still blue-grey eyes and relaxing, "Yes it's me... Sango-chan is that you?" He asked softly.

She nodded, "Yeah... it's me." She responded softly; originally her nickname had been Kagome since how they were with eachother, but ever since they met their other best friend, she gave up her nickname to her friend, who wished to have the nick name belonging to the long deceased miko. The girl nicknamed Sango, instantly wrapped her arms around the red fabric colored waist, "Where are we?" She asked lightly; somehow, in one way or another, the world began to twist and blend, it swirled, and soon they stood on a beach, their feet were planted on the cool yellow sand. It was night, only lit by the full silvery moon that was overhead. The beach was perfectly empty execpt for the two and a man that stood before them. The boy peeled the girl off of him and placed her behind him while galring at the man, "What the hell do you want with us?" He askd bravely, instinctivly, his hand went to the hilt of his kantana. the man only nodded at him, signaling the boy to draw his kantana - - which was old and rusty. He grasped inadiuably, while watching a gold magic wash over him and his sword. He instantly felt ten times stronger; his eyes changed to the color of the honey magic, that had tansformed his sword into a huge fang, which somehow was effortlessly for him to hold. His perviously long and black hair was now shinning a bright silver. He tossed a look back to the girl who stood shocked while looking at him, in her hands, instantly appeared a dark green bow, and a qiver full of arrows appeared as well, slung over her shoulder. He looked back to the man, who looked slightly shocked, but he quickly masked it, looking stoic; "I want the girl she has what I want... the shikon no tama." He spoke in a sinisiter voice, "Like hell she does! Leave her alone! If you even want to touch her, you'll have to get through me first." He spoke with a deadly tone. He felt an instant heat arraise in his hip it burned and seered through his body, he instantly fell to his knees, refusing to allow the scream to part from his lips. A chunk of half a silvery pink gem flew out from him and into the hand of the girl. The girl was already holding the other half, and it instantly united and became the complete shikon no tama. The man before laughed him, previously hidden in the shadows, but he stepped foward, showing he was the man he had told them to call Naraku. The boy growled dangerously; and the girl began paniking. She began thinking instantly, as Naraku began running towards them; everything seemed to move in slow motion from that point on. She looked down at the gem and began focusing all of her energy, soul and strength into the gem and prayed. It began glowing and soon shattered, the shards lit the night sky and flew all over. Naraku froze, the boy turned back to the girl who was falling to the ground, with almost soulless eyes. in a flash he caught her and grabbed her and closing his eyes. His kanatana was now resting on the ground next to them.
