Prologue: Part 1
Kusabana's Fate
Notes: This is my first fan fiction ever and I will try to update this fan fiction every day at 7pm except for on Mondays! Thank you for taking this time to read this! I will add updates and other notes in my profile- like if I missed updating one day, I will notify everyone why and the next posting day on my profile! Thank you and happy reading!
The prologue simply explains how the Elemental Scriptures came to be. And it also introduces many characters into the story.
This story takes place in feudal era Japan. Inuyasha comes into the story later on, this is just his background information and how the whole story started (hence the reason it is called a prologue…) Additional notes are noted at the end of the chapter. I will try to update this fan fiction as often as possible. In this warring era, there are many mythical creatures such as dragons and phoenixes. Enjoy the fan fiction!

Hana happily trotted to Kusabana's side, a bloodstained rabbit dangling from his ivory fangs. Kusabana was a beautifully stunning dog demon, her sapphire eyes shining by the morning glow of the sun. Her immaculate kimono swayed gently in the breeze. She lived in a grand palace with her large wolf god companion, Hana. Hana was a sleek creature, and was as swift as a dragon. She had a long scar on her left ear which was given to her by a giant viper awhile ago.
The majestic front gates creaked open. Hana growled as an old man approached. "May I ask why you have come before I, Kusabana, ruler of the northern plains?" The man neither spoke nor hesitated as he continued to walk towards Kusabana. He sat stock still at Kusabana's feet.
"I see what lies ahead of you, great one," he muttered. Kusabana strained her demon ears to hear. This man was no ordinary man; Kusabana caught the scents of many things lingering on his fragile body. Kusabana scented many secrets lurking around him. Many secrets best to keep secret.
"Oh?" Kusabana questioned, "How is it possible a mere mortal like you could know my future? I though know your future. Since you are in my palace, you have walked yourself into death." She drew out her glittering katana. The man didn't flinch. He took out some parchment and wrote three words on three separate pieces of paper. On these parchments he wrote: 狼 , 郎, and 浪 (translations of the words located at the bottom of the page).
"Your life, it hangs by a thin strand of light. That light turns around these three words. In short, your life is based on these," The old man explained pointing at the parchments. "The first word 狼 Oh dear, this is the one who will betray you. The second word 郎 It is because of him that you will die. And lastly, 浪 This is where you will find him, he whom you will save, but whom will die because of you. How, you ask, is it possible to avoid the second one? Well, if you do not meet the third, you will never see the second." Kusabana stared at the parchments; a tinge of horror froze her dark sapphire eyes.
"But…?" Kusabana looked up as she began her question, but the old man had already gone. Hana growled as she stared at the parchment. The large front gates swayed in the light breeze of the still night.

狼 This is the Chinese character for wolf.
郎This is the Chinese character for young man.
浪 This is the Chinese character for ocean wave.
These 3 words all sound alike in Chinese. This prophecy is actually a play on words.
