Disclaimer: I don't own Inu-yasha. I do own a bunch of Inu-yasha stuff, and hopefully I'm going to have a bunch of Inu-yasha plushies soon to go along with my calendar, but I don't own Inu-yasha. I do however own any original characters or poems that show up in this story and this story line, for the most part. I got some of my ideas from other fanfics that I have read, but this story line is my own.

On Unequal Footing

Prologue

Kagome had seen the dark priestess. Kagome knew what would happen. It was fated to happen, but it hadn't always been that way. It wasn't supposed to happen, but it would, and it would change everything. Kagome knew what would happen, even if she hadn't quite realized it yet. The day had started as just another jewel search. Inu-yasha had woken Kagome up at dawn when she rather have slept longer, but that, of course, didn't matter to Inu-yasha. They had argued and, as always, that argument had ended with Kagome saying one word and Inu-yasha crashing into the ground. Just a normal day it started out as, but it wasn't a normal day anymore; definitely not a normal day.

The day may have started out as normal, but normal is boreing and the present is always changing. Normal is never normal for long and how things are now may not be the same tomorrow. All this is true to life and this is where the present and fate get warped. Fate is change forever in a way that no one could have predicted, except Kagome that is, but she didn't realize that she could predict it and therefore did nothing to change what would possible destroy her and Inu-yasha forever and risk a love that trespasses time itself…
