Anyways, I'm sorry that this chapter took a while. And yeah, this is WAY before Sess gets Tokijin. Heck, before Inu's even born! But it'll eventually get to the part where Kagome comes. Here's the full summary:
Sheik returned home one night only to learn about a shocking new truth. His Mother tried to help him escape from their village, but only to begin to see the root of Impa's evil plans. He plunged through a well to Feudal Japan, and met a young Demon Lord. The question is, would he be a friend or foe? There was a reason why Sesshomaru was so cold, and after 100 years (The time Kagome comes to after all of this stuff.), Inuyasha and the others would learn the shocking truth… Would this new face be able to help them defeat Naraku? If so, how would they be able to find him? And, why is he suddenly gone?
I hope I didn't give too much away, but, I have a feeling that this'll be an awesome story. And for the people that just went to this chap to read the full summary, you can go back to chapter one, that way you'll understand what's going on. But for now, you can see it's still in development. It will get better, I promise you. Also, you might want to get familiar with Din, from The Legend of Zelda, Oracle of Seasons. Also, Link will be in here, too. But much later. On with the chapter.

Sheik's mask was able to filter the smoke, and that was one less problem he had now. All the villagers managed to escape, so the only thing left for him to do was to slay the dragon.
(Sheik's POV)
Huts where crumbling after contact with the raw, searing power of the flames. Ash blackened the area, with the scent of fire wafting for miles at least. I barely managed to dodge a falling beam, which caught me off guard. All of the flames dancing around my form made me concentrate on trying to avoid being burned. The dragon's screech was so deafening, I fainted. I should have known better of what that monster was capable of. The fire was inching closer every second, and I couldn't seem to get up.
It was hopeless… I should just die and give up…
"When there is darkness, there is light…"That's right… Those where the words Mother had told me before… And… If I don't try to live, the Sheikah race would be doomed! I should have listened to her more carefully. But, I couldn't wake up. The bindings of my sleep didn't allow me to awaken. I still couldn't do it! Just when I though all hope was lost, a clawed hand picked me off the ground, and leaped into the air. The sudden rush of fresh air let me come to my senses, and that's when I saw the person's face. It was…that boy… His face was wrinkled in disgust with the sleeve of his kimono filtering the smoke. He landed a safe distance away from the village, and I finally came to.
"Are you honestly that dense?" The boy asked.
"Wha-?"
"How could you underestimate you opponent? I thought you where stronger than that, but I suppose I was mistaken…"
H-how COULD he? I was dumbfounded, but there was a village BURNING to the GROUND that I needed to save.
"Don't you realize what is happening?" I asked, outraged.
"Yes, a pathetic human village is turning to ashes while we stand here and argue."
"Do you even care?"
"Why would I?" He asked.
"Their homes and very ways of life are being destroyed! And you're saying you don't CARE?"
"Yes. I just said I didn't."
That was it… I had no time for this. How could he simply overlook something this perilous?
"Fine, if that's the way you want to be, I'll go confront that dragon myself."
"I'm coming with you."
Once again, he surprised me.
"Excuse me? Didn't you just say that you didn't care for this village?" I asked.
"That pathetic excuse for a dragon stole my blade." He replied.
At looked at his waist, and his sword wasn't there anymore. Well, at least he was telling the truth. But I would've liked to have heard a different explanation.
He seemed to be getting annoyed, "What are you waiting for? My patience is running low." Yeah, I was zoning out a lot today. Who could blame him?
"Then if you're going to help, let's go already!"
His expression didn't waver, but he nodded in response. We immediately made our way to the heart of the village, the dragon in waiting. The creature's blue menacing eyes where then laid upon us. The beast screeched once again, and we both flinched at the volume. Locks of flames danced along his neck, his scales shining from the fire. His mouth opened wide at us, and we barely dodged its flames. If I tried to attack it head-on, I would surely be burned. My needles wouldn't affect him, and my chain wouldn't have the power, so that left my blade, Kumori. (A/N: Or 'Shadow' in English.) The dark powers of Kumori created a dark purple glow. I then unsheathed Kumori, surprising the dragon, who slightly was taken aback. The boy's hand began to glow a deep green, and he lunged at the flaming lizard with poisonous claws. He clawed the beast's eyes, and the dragon howled in pain, throwing his head in anger. We moved once more, for the demon spewed flames in his pain.
(The Boy's (Sesshomaru's) POV)
The boy soon figured out how I distracted the dragon in hopes of him taking a shot at it with his blade. The dark glow from the sword seemed powerful, and he seemed to know how to use it to its full potential. He seemed to be waiting for the right moment, and when he did, the blade cut the demon's head off, coaxing one last shriek from it before its body fell to the ground with a large thud. Blood didn't seem to mar the sword at all.
Most knew how a soul would leave the body after death, but I could actually see it as it entered the boy's blade. For a brief moment it glowed as the soul entered it, but then returned to a normal silver. He sheathed his sword, and returned his gave to me.
(End of POVs)
The dragon's body turned to dust in the wind, and in its place was the boy's (Sesshomaru's) blade. The demon slowly walked to it, and returned it to its place at his side.
"What is your name?" The silver demon asked.
"Sheik."
"I see, I am Sesshomaru, Prince of the West. It seems as though I misjudged you a while ago."
Sheik was slightly angered by this, "I'll say. How'd you get your blade stolen, though?"
"Well," Sesshomaru began.

Eh, I know this was short, but I'm going to work really fast on the next chapter. Yes, fear the cliff-hanger! Bwahahaha! But if there weren't cliff-hangers, what would make you wanna read the next chapter? Where would all the excitement be? Sure, this may not have been the best cliff-hanger, but it still is one. Thanks for the reviews! But for those who never did, please do so. 'Til next time.
