Disclaimer: Don't own Inuyasha or Yu Yu Hakusho, the only thing I own are a few original characters and the plot.

Prologue

Long ago friendship was forged, but those friends were separated for each had their own journey to begin – though one day they promised to return to each other and pick up where they left off. Their was also a legend that went with them: one who had walked the earth for a long time – one who could be considered an ancient, a spirit who had traveled for some time before being born into a physical body and a creature that had a mane and was feared by most. These three would be guardians, but of what it was not exactly known. They had guides and friends to help them on their path, but that is not yet come, first they must find their way to each other again. Fate and her siblings claimed these three as theirs and as such were under their protection.

She crouched in a far corner of the cell that she was locked in, working on building her power enough to break her chains and free herself from this cage. She listened intently for her gracious host to return and vowed that he would pay for his treatment and imprisonment of her. She had forgotten how long it is that she had been kept here, she had nearly forgotten her name and had taken to whispering it to herself Alectoi Chandraii Mnemeiiishe would not let her name be forgotten, even if the only one listening were the shadows. So she waited and gathered her power and endured the torture of her captor as she waited…

"Botan, get the team in here NOW!" a toddler looking person said

Botan nodded and disappeared through a portal; she appeared in Yusuke's room and yanked his blanket off.

"WHAT THE HELL!" Yusuke yelled.

"Yusuke, Koenma wants the team in his office now. Hurry up."

Yusuke stumbled out of bed and grabbed his communicator to alert Kuwabara and Kurama, figuring Hiei would be somewhere close Kurama's house. They all met at Yusuke's twenty minutes later and stepped through a portal to Koenma's office.

"What d'ya now toddler?" Yusuke asked annoyed.

"Shut up Yusuke, this is important. Recently we have caught activity of a demon in a remote forest. Whatever he's doing it's not good, we also suspect that he may have one captive – possibly more. You guys need to go stop what he's doing and free those trapped by him. Go now."

A portal opened up under them and the landed in a forest clearing.

"Just great, we don't even know which way to go." Yusuke grumbled.

Kurama shook his head slightly and pointed to where smoke could be seen rising "I think that over there would be a good start." So they headed off through the forest and shortly came to a large cabin, sitting on the front step appeared to be an old man who stood as they approached.

"You boys are a long way from anything. What are you doing all the way out here?"

Kurama answered before any of the others could "We were looking for someone and told that this was the place."

"Hm, well I'm the only one living out here and I don't know what you could want with an old man."

Just then there was a small burst of power from somewhere within the house and something could be heard shattering.

Kuwabara looked around "What was that?"

The old man smirked slightly "Stubborn pet, always testing her restraints. When will she learn that she can't escape." Suddenly the old man shifted into a Hyena demon and lunged at the spirit detectives. "Guess you found who you were looking for."

Sengoku

Kagome had stopped on the path and looked around, it felt like something was going to happen soon but she didn't know why she felt this way.

Sorry about the shortness and the cliffhanger. Hopefully the next chapter will be out soon. Please let me know what you think.
