*Hello! This is Ominias, and I hope you are enjoying 'Silver Dawn' so far!!! As I mentioned before, this is my first fanfic, so I'm very open to comments and reviews.

Disclaimer: I own absolutely nothing, except for the idea of the fanfic. It's sad, I know.


The Meji Era

"Sooo.......any ideas?" Inuyasha asked as they walked towards the village. "I bet we'll figure it out once we check things out a bit, maybe ask some people, you know?" Shippo suggested. "Pfft, what do you mean we? Kagome has to figure it out." "HEY!!!! Inuyasha, don't put everything on me!" Inuyasha said "But Kagome, you're the only one who has any knowledge about the future times out of all of us." "Hmmm....that is true......alright, fine."

Just as she said that, they all heard a yelp coming from the village. They hurried over. What they found was a big gathering(probably a market), a man with a knife in his hand, and a red-haired man carrying a pail full of what appeared to be flour. As they got closer, they noticed that the red-haired man had a big cross-shaped scar on his left cheek and deep, amethyst eyes. "That man is probably being robbed by the other one holding the dagger." Miroku surveyed. "Should we help?" Sango asked as she pulled up alongside him."Let him be. We've got more important things we've got to deal with." Inuyasha said stubbornly. Kagome hit him on the head, leaving a potato-sized bruise on it." That doesn't mean we can just ignore this!" "Fine, fine." Inuyasha grumbled.

"Oh, hello. How may I help you?" The red-haired man said as he came to a stop. He was out on an errand for Karou to get the groceries. "What do you think? Hand over your money or else!" "I'm sorry, but if I don't get back to the dojo before I make dinner, Karou-dono is going to be upset with me." "Idiot! It'll be a pleasure stealing from you!"

"Hold it right there!" Inuyasha jumped in between the two men, and the others ran after him, trying to catch up. "Who are you?!" the thief yelled at them "some kids trying to play the hero, eh? Well, I'll teach you all a lesson!" The man ran at them, but stopped abruptly when he saw Inuyasha's dog ears and canine teeth. "What's the matter, old man? I thought you were going to teach me a lesson?" Inuyasha said in a mocking tone as he smiled, showing his full set of teeth including his canines. "W-what are you? Oh, I get it." the thief said as he chuckled silently."Those ears are fake, right?" Inuyasha's eye twitched. "And those fangs are also fake right?" Inuyasha popped a vein, and as he kept thinking about what the thief said, he kept popping more and more veins, until he completely lost his top. But, before he could say anything, Kagome clamped her hand onto Inuyasha's mouth.

"Um.....yeah! They're all fake! Yep!" Kagome sweatdropped, and Inuyasha tried to say some pretty angry words at her, but his mouth was closed shut. "You should be ashamed of yourself, stealing from other people. It's plain wrong!" Kagome said. Inuyasha finally piped down, and Kagome let go of his mouth. "Kagome, let me handle this. I'll take him out with one shot!" Inuyasha pulled out his Tetsaiga, his sword, revealing a hude, white blade with a lump of fur at it's hilt. The thief was terrified, but stayed put where he was. Inuyasha lunged at him, while Kagome shouted" Inuyasha!!! Make sure you don't kill him!!!" "Yeah, yeah I know!!!" But before he could get a swing in, the thief ran away, leaving a dust cloud. Inuyasha accidentally breathed in the dust and coughed a few times before turning to the red-haired man.

The red-haired man stared in awe at Inuyasha during the fight, and said to him"This one is very thankful of you for saving his life. And his groceries."He said with a smile."Naw, it was nothing. Especially since you could have probably handled him easily yourself."Inuyasha said glancing at the red-haired man's katana strapped to his waistband. "Oro? No, really! He is very much in debt to you, that he is." Kagome stepped in. "Oh, no, it was no problem at all!" Inuyasha glared at her."By the way, do you happen to know when and where we are?" "Oro? You are a strange one."he said, laughing."This is Tokyo, on March 11th, 12th year of the Meji.
