Chapter One: The Return of The Jewel

Authors Note: Welcome, readers and authors! I want to introduce my new story (well, one of many) Inuyasha: The New Generation. I apologize if the title seems similar to Boruto, it was the only thing I could think of at the moment. I'm using two new OC'S in this. Yes, one of them will be the child of Inuyasha and Kagome. This is actually set twenty years after The Final Act so you might see some familiar faces in later chapters. Leave a review telling me what you think and if you want the story to continue or not.

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha (although I wish I did)

Asuka P.O.V.

I sighed after walking out the front doors, relieved that school had finally ended for the day. Kami, that was a boring lecture, I thought as I waited for the light to change. When it did, I was about to step into the cross walk when I heard the engine of a motorcycle come up behind me.

"Hey, Asuka!" Someone yelled over the roar of the exhaust. I turned around and saw the rider was my best friend, Kumori. He was wearing the standard uniform for our high school (At the end of final act, not the original), along with a beanie that he always wore despite the dress code. His black hair was short but always stuck out beneath the hat and his eyes were a hazel/gold color. He had a familiar grin on his face as he held out the helmet. "Get on. I'll give you a ride home."

I sighed and shook my head even though I was smiling. "You're lucky my parents like you otherwise they would never approve of you driving me home on your motorcycle."

He smirked even though he knew I was right. Me and my parents had moved into the old Higurashi shrine after they moved away. My father used to be a monk and my mom was raised as a priestess. It was going to be my duty to watch over the shrine after we graduated high school and I had already adavanced in my priestess training. Grabbing the helmet, I put it on and climbed on behind him, my arms wrapping around his waist.

"Hold on!" He yelled and drove out of there like a bat out of hell. I tightened my grip and I felt him tense up. For a second, I thought I saw his beanie move but maybe it was just the wind. "I guess it's a good thing you live far away from the school, huh?"

I resisted the urge to smack him as he slowed down because we were close to my house. Once we pulled into the driveway, he switched off the bike and climbed off, holding his hand out to help. Once both my feet were on the ground, I took the helmet off and was immediately swept off the ground from behind. I shrieked in surprise but Kumori kept his arms around my waist as he swung me around a couple of times.

"Kumori! Give me a warning next time, will ya?" I said when he put me down. I turned around and saw that he actually looked sheepish.

"Sorry, Asuka. Guess I got a little carried away." He said, his face flushed.

Kumori P.O.V.

Damn, why do I keep screwing this up? I thought as I watched her. We've been friends for as long as I can remember but I think that's all she wanted to be. Her expression was pretty scary so I'm guessing I was still in the dog house, literally. Walking over to her, I slipped my arms around her waist and hugged her, resting my head on top of hers since she was a couple inches shorter than I was. "I really am sorry. You know I wouldn't do anything to scare you like that."

"Yeah, I know." She said and hugged me back.

This close to her, I could smell her perfume but I caught her scent under that. It reminded me of roses and cherry blossoms, her to favorite things. I pulled back slightly to look at her. She looked back at me, a small smile on her face. I smiled back and leaned down towards her. She must have known what I was about to do because she shoved me away, a horrified look on her face. I couldn't tell what that look was for but I didn't want to find out. I hope I didn't do anything to show what I really was. I checked to make sure my hat was still in place and looked away from her. "I should go."

"Kumori, wait..." Asuka grabbed my arm but I shoved her away, almost knocking her into the ground.

I didn't look at her. "Just stay away from me. I don't want to be around you right now."

Shit. I just put my foot in my mouth because her green eyes narrowed. "Fine. If that's the way it is, don't come back. Actually, you can do me a favor by dropping dead."

I felt a jolt go through my body and I climbed onto my bike, the engine revving to life. Asuka had a strange look on her face, as if she realized what she had said but it was to late. I put the kick stand up and sped out of there, my vision starting to blur. There was something I wanted to give her, at the request of my parents, but it would have to wait. I swerved in and out of traffic, running through a couple of red lights. It wasn't until I saw the truck up ahead that it happened. It was not even ten feet away and not having much time to get out of the way, I tried to avoid it by going around it but it didn't work. The impact didn't hurt at first but after what seemed like hours, the pain kicked in throughout my whole body.

The edges of my vision started to go black as I heard people yelling around me, the sirens of an ambulance far off in the distance. The only thing I thought of was my best friend, the one person I cared about more than anything. "Asuka..." I managed to whisper her name before the darkness washed over and everything went black.
