Here is Chapter 3! This chapter will introduce the Inuyasha chracters. I want to give a big thanks to NocturneD for giving me the first review on this story. I would also like to say that you're right, Naraku wouldn't work for Slade for just one jewel shard, but Slade intends to give him all the remaining jewel shards in return for helping him destroy the Titans. Plus, both Naraku & Slade have their own secret reasons for joining forces, as you will see. Thank once again for being the first to review!

Scene 3: Warriors of the Past.
Meanwhile, in a small town in Japan, a young girl packed her bag full of food & supplies & kissed her mom, grandpa, & little brother goodbye.
"Stay safe." Said her mother.
"I will Mom." Kagome replied.
Kagome was a young girl in high school, who seems perfectly normal at first glance, but is really unique from the other girls. One day, as she sat talking to her cat, she was pulled into an old well by a monster from the past. She was able to fight this monster off somehow, & found herself in the distant past. Now she is on a quest to find shards of a magic jewel & keep them from falling into the wrong hands.
Kagome soon came to the old well & jumped in. she became engulfed in a blue light, & when the light was gone, she found herself at the bottom of a dry well. Kagome climbed up a ladder & found herself in a deep forest instead of at her house in the middle of a city. She stepped out of the well & walked up to an old tree where a bike sat waiting for her. She put her bag on this bike & walked alongside it down a little path which led to a small village. As she neared the village, Kagome saw a small boy with pointy ears & a fox tail playing with some other children.
"Hi Kagome!" Said Shippo when he noticed Kagome.
Shippo was a young foxdemon who had lost his parents to evil monsters who were after the jewel shards. But he was able to avenge his family (with some help) & is now one of the people who help Kagome in her quest.
"Hi Shippo," Kagome replied. "Where is everyone?"
"Their over there." Shippo pointed to a man who sat a little ways off. This man was sitting on a rock with a line of young ladies in front of him waiting to have their palms read.
"Oh my," Said Miroku as he pretended to read the palm of a beautiful young woman. "It says here that you will be swept off your feet by a handsome young monk."
Miroku was a monk whose grandfather had been cursed with a miniature black-hole in his hand that would suck anything into it if it was uncovered. This hole remained in his grandfather's hand & his father's as well until it grew so big that it sucked them in. Miroku faces the same fate if he cannot destroy the monster that cursed his grandfather in the first place, but spends more time flirting with women than worrying about his fate. He now uses his wind-tunnel hand to aid Kagome in her search.
The young woman giggled at the young monk's flirtatiousness, but one woman didn't find it amusing.
"Oh Miroku," He heard Sango say behind him. "What do you think you're doing?"
Sango was a beautiful young woman who came from a family of demon-slayers. After her father & the other slayers were killed, Sango & her two-taileddemon cat named Kilala joined Kagome & the others to find the jewel shards & thedemon responsible for her family's destruction. & though she won't admit it, she has feelings for Miroku & will not tolerate his flirting.
"Well—um—you see Sango," Said Miroku, who was more than a little afraid of Sango when she was angry. "I was just—uh…"
"Save it Monk." Said Sango, her anger showing on her face as clear as day.
Miroku gave a sheepish laugh & backed away from the woman whose palm he was reading. Sango's face grew calm again when she saw Kagome approaching. "Hello Kagome!" She said.
"Ah Lady Kagome," Miroku said; glad to be safe from Sango's wrath for now. "It is good to see you."
"Hi guys!" Kagome replied. "Where is Inuyasha?"
Miroku told her & they all went together. They soon found who they were looking for sleeping in the branch of a tree.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome called. But the man with the silver hair & dog ears didn't hear her. "Huh? Inuyasha!?" Kagome tried again, but the dog eared man just laid there. This was beginning to make her mad. "Inuyasha!!!" She yelled at the top of her lungs, but the only reaction she got was one of his dog ears twitching. She started to growl, but calmed herself & simply said, "Inuyasha, sit."
The dog-boy suddenly fell out of the tree & hit the ground, as though he was pulled by the dog tooth necklace he wore.
"What the hell did you do that for!!?" Yelled Inuyasha as he lifted himself off the ground.
Inuyasha was a young half dog demon-half human who Kagome found sealed to a tree when she first came to this time. He had been sealed in a deep sleep by a Priestess named Kikyo 50 years earlier. Kagome released Inuyasha from this sleep when she was again attacked by the monster that pulled her into this time-period. Inuyasha defeated this monster & then tried to take the magic jewel (called the Shikon Jewel) from Kagome so that he could become a full blooded dogdemon like his father. But he was stopped by an old priestess named Kaede who placed a magic necklace on him, giving Kagome the power to subdue him with the word 'sit'. Inuyasha & Kagome didn't like each other at first, but when Kagome accidentally broke the jewel into thousands of pieces which scattered across Japan, they joined forces & grew to like each other (or maybe more).
"It was your fault for not waking up when I called you." Said Kagome, still angry with Inuyasha. "Didn't you hear me?"
"Yeah…" He said, as he dusted himself off. "But I was having a good dream & I was trying to ignore you."
"Humph! Then you deserve what you got!"
As Kagome & Inuyasha continued to argue, Shippo whispered to Sango, "Geez, they have only been together two minuets & they're already at it."
Meanwhile, in another part of the country, a small green creature in traditional vassal's clothing & a large carved wood walking stick was running around in circles.
"Lord Sesshomaru! Where are you?" Jaken cried out for his lord.
Jaken was a small green toad-like creature who was the servant of a powerful dog-demon, & he had lost his way in a thick fog.
"You needn't yell Jaken. I am here." Jaken heard the calm, smooth, aristocratic voice of his lord Sesshomaru behind him & turned to see him.
Sesshomaru was Inuyasha's half brother & Unlike Inuyasha, Sesshomaru was a full bloodeddemon who, at one time, had no compassion for humans. Sesshomaru & Inuyasha each inherited a powerful sword from their father, Inuyasha's sword, Tetsusaiga can destroy 100 evil monsters in one sweep, & Sesshomaru's sword, Tensaiga can save the lives of 100 people in one sweep. Sesshomaru was unhappy with this sword which could not be used in battle, so he tries to take Tetsusaiga from his brother whom he considers unworthy for the great sword.
"Milord," Said Jaken. "I am glad to have found you again."
Sesshomaru looked behind him & saw Ah & Un, his two headed horse-like creature walk up with a little girl on its back.
"Hi Jaken! Hi Lord Sesshomaru!" Said Rin, as she rode up.
Rin was a little orphan girl who had found Sesshomaru injured in the woods & tried to take care of him even though he didn't need her help. Her village was later attacked & she would have died if not for Sesshomaru using his Tensaiga to save her. She has loyally followed him ever since.
Rin tried to get down off of Ah & Un but fell down. She was uninjured however & merely laughed at her own clumsiness. Sesshomaru looked at her. It was hard to tell if he had an expression on his face at all, but if he did it was sure to be a smile. For, even though he would never admit it, he had grown attached to this absurd little human girl.
"Jaken," The little green man instantly snapped to attention at the sound of his lord's voice. "There is something strange happening, something very strange indeed."
"Eh?" Jaken concentrated on his surroundings & sensed something in the air. "Ah, you're right Milord! There is something strange going on! But what could it be Lord Sess—" Jaken finally noticed that his companions had already begun to walk away. "Wait! Don't leave me here Milord!!"
Jaken ran after his master, who was determined to find the source of the problem.

I hope you liked it. I will update as soon as possible. Please review & tell me what you think, & tell me if I got the names of Sesshomaru's horse creature right, I'm a little unsure about that. Later!
