Hello Everyone and Anyone who is reading FEUDAL ERA!

BTW this fanfic adapation of the movie Jumunji staring Robin Williams. I frigging love it:)

I know that the prologue was really short, but I can guaruntee that the other chapters will not be so. I hope that this story does well and the only way I can know that is if people review and remark on it.

Anyway that's not what fanfiction is about. It's not about how many reviews someone gets, its much more than that. It's about creating or writing stories to create ideas, concepts and bring together the people who enjoy certain shows, books, movies, games, manga, anime, etc.

Ok enough with all that. I don't this to turn into a lecture or scare off people who just want to read the frigging story, so on with the show!

Please enjoy the first chapter of this story.

Chapter 1: Ten Years Ago

Eighteen year old Inuyasha Takahashi scowled at his reflection in the bathroom mirror, his fangs poking through a crack between his lips. Sometimes he really hated being a half demon, especially with the way he looked; more doggish looking than his father, who was a full dog demon. Ironic wasn't it?

Half demons were not as common in little Kyoko as they were in the other areas of Japan. Most demons and humans of the small town basically only married or had children with the members of their own race, although they did intermingle quite well with each other.

Even though half demons were accepted by society as a whole, not everyone was very welcoming of the idea, however very small that group was.

Koga Ookami, who was a fully fledged wolf demon was one of those people who looked down upon Inuyasha for his mixed heritage, and shown it in as many ways possible.

Koga was the head tormentor in Inuyasha's life, but it wasn't just because of Inuyasha being half demon. It was because Kagome Higurashi, his girlfriend, was best friends with Inuyasha.

To get to the point, Koga was extremely jealous.

However, the feeling was mutual.

An almost faraway look made Inuyasha's gold eyes unfocused as he thought about Kagome Higurashi. Ever since he could remember he had always had a crush on her. Everything she did or said when they were together only made him like her more, which over the years had built up.

Her smile, her laugh and her big brown eyes were beautiful and sweet.

But he could never tell her that. He could take on a gang of football players, specifically Koga's teammates without a drop of fear and still limp away proudly. He was terrified of telling a five foot three Kagome about his longtime feelings.

It was oblivious that he was terrified greatly of rejection.

"Inuyasha dear!" called his mother from the other side of the bathroom door.

"Yes mum?" he answered, opening the door.

"Your father needs to talk to you about something very important before he leaves for his conference tomorrow. Be sure to be home well before dinner, ok honey?" Izyoai informed him, looking up at her tall son.

"What's so important?"

"He wants to tell you himself, dear" she shrugged, frowning up at his bed-head white hair. She sighed and reached up to sooth it down, minding the pointed white dog ears atop his head.

"I think it's about time for another hair cut soon" she observed, noticing how the tips of his hair reached the top of his shoulders.

"I don't need one. I like my hair long, mum" said Inuyasha, rolling his eyes.

"Oh sweetheart, most girls don't like young man with hair as long as theirs. Don't you want a girlfriend?"

"Don't need one" her son grunted.

"Is that because the only girl you want is in a relationship with that Ookami boy?" she inquired, trying to keep a serious face.

"W-w-w" he stuttered, a blush flaming his face. He had been so sure that no one knew of his crush on Kagome.

"Oh, my sweet boy" Izyoai chuckled lovingly, grabbing his face so she could kiss his forehead. Her violet eyes peered knowingly into his own, "I'm your mother and I know things. It's not just a woman's intuition; it's also a mother's instinct. Kagome is such a sweet girl and even when I see you two arguing I can sense something special. You don't have to tell her today or tomorrow how you feel, but you should do it soon, before the chance is lost completely"

The older woman waited for a moment, so that her words of wisdom could sink into his rather thick skull. Inuyasha was so like his father. He just needed a good nudge in the right direction, if not a kick to the ass.

"Now, go on. I don't want to hear you got another detention for being late again" she shooed out her son, smiling at his dazed expression, the red of his blush still apparent on his face.

'Definitely his father's son, alright'

###############################

Kagome sat at the school's entrance with Miroku, kicking her foot and humming a song she heard on the radio that morning while getting ready. Koga had breezed by earlier, having practice first thing in the morning and gave her a quick peck on the cheek.

"To think, Kagome" piped up Miroku, staring after a pair of eleventh grade girls, "If the girls in high school are hot than the university girls are even hotter"

Kagome's expression was of uncertain amusement at the one track mind of her friend. Thankfully he never groped her or hit on her anymore, especially since he was practically almost her brother in all, but blood.

"Ummmm, Miroku in case you didn't notice, I'm not into girls, so I don't really care"

"Must you destroy my fantasies, Kagome?" he asked, actually sounding disappointed.

*Thud*

"You need to learn when to shut your mouth Houshi" Inuyasha growled, suddenly standing next to a head bowed Miroku.

"Was that necessary Inuyasha?" pouted the black-haired man, rubbing the back of his head and blinking to clear his vision.

"It always is with you perv"

"Inuyasha" the half demon almost cringed at the indignant tone with which Kagome used. With hands on her hips, Kagome addressed him, "Violence doesn't solve everything you know. Besides if you get caught hitting anyone else, you'll have to see Principal Totosai again" she lectured.

"Sorry" he mumbled, not wanting Kagome mad at him.

"Don't apologize to me. You hit Miroku, remember?"

"Fine. Sorry Miroku" he said, not meaning it.

The rather loud chime of the morning bell signaled the start of the day.

"See you guys at lunch" waved Kagome, walking briskly to her first period.

"Yeah, bye" replied Inuyasha lowly, watching her leave.

###############################

Inuyasha was competitive by nature and it was shown in every physical activity he performed, especially when he was up against Koga. Gym was the ultimate battle field for these two rivals, the chance to take on the other without interruption from anyone. Besides no one really wanted to get in the middle of a fight between two demons, well one and a half, save of course the older demons of the school.

Today was the last of the kendo training unit and everyone was paired, preferably with people who had the same strength level as themselves. Unsurprisingly it was Koga and Inuyasha who chose to fight first.

The two seniors squared off, shoulders tensed, and fighting gear covering the stern expressions they both wore.

"The one who scores three strikes will win this match. There are penalties for inappropriate hits and a deduction of points. Ready? Begin!"

Inuyasha took the first step towards his opponent, who took a step back Inuyasha smirked behind his mask.

"What's a matter wolf? Scared of me?"

"Nah, I just can't stand the smell of dog, muttface"

"Keh, yeah ok. You're just a wimpy cub" Inuyasha scoffed as he continued to advance, "What's a matter, am I too demon for you?"

"At least I am a demon. You basically a wannabe" Koga snapped, smacking his jp-stick on Inuyasha's left shoulder, with a fast lunge. Inuyasha stumbled back slightly, grimacing at the hard hit.

"Not demon and not human. How can you fit in? Face it Takahashi, you're nothing"

Another wrack on the left shoulder, caught Inuyasha off guard, causing him to gasp. Koga was now ahead by two points. One more strike and it was over.

'Gotta think of a strategy' Inuyasha thought grinding his teeth and fangs. However, all rational thought left at Koga's next words.

"I bet that's why Kagome picked dating me over you, dog breath. No one wants to be with something that can't decide what it is" provoked the blue eyes male.

Growling menacingly, Inuyasha charged, his wooden sword, raised to hit the wolf demon's head. Koga simply avoided Inuyasha's attack by stepping to the side.

Inuyasha fell face down, wincing as Koga's third and final blow fell across the left shoulder again.

"Match goes to Koga Ookami!" announced the teacher, as everyone cheered for the wolf demon. Taking off his helmet, Koga waved at the crowd of students, a smug smirk stretching his lips.

"Damn" Inuyasha cursed, bringing his fist down on the floor. Pushing himself up, Inuyasha stalked out of the gymnasium, fuming angrily. The moment he entered the boys changing room, he hastily stripped off his kendo equipment and unceremoniously threw it into his locker.

"That dirty, underhanded bastard" he swore profusely, slamming the metal door shut. It wasn't just the fact that Koga won that pissed him off. It was what he said, bringing Kagome into the conversation like that, boiled his blood.

Looking at the clock, Inuyasha saw that it was already two and four period was almost over anyway. Deciding that it would be best if he had some time to himself, Inuyasha left the school.

##############################

"Inuyasha dear, you're home earlier than usual" Izyoai stated suspiciously when he son sat at the island counter in her newly cleaned kitchen, "You didn't get suspended, did you?"

Shaking his head, Inuyasha grabbed a green apple from the fruit basket and bit into it.

"Then why are you home so early? Were Miroku and Kagome absent today? Usually you walk with them and don't get back till at least five"

"No, I finished early and the teacher dismissed me" Inuyasha partly lied. Hey, it wasn't like the teacher stopped him from leaving.

"Alright then. Oh your father and I are going to visit your brother and Kagura tonight and we're going out for dinner. Would you like to come with us?"

"Why ya going there?"

"Because they just found out that Kagura is pregnant and want to celebrate" Izyoai replied, almost giddily. Even though Sesshomaru was only her son through marriage, she had been like a mother to the full demon and now she felt like she would now be a grandmother.

"Not a good night to go mum. Night of the new moon, remember?" he pointed out, very glad that he had an excuse to not go out and spend the night with his ice cold brother and fiery sister in law. Honestly dealing with two such extremities would drive anyone crazy.

The night of the new moon was the one time of every month that Inuyasha became completely human. Not wanting people to know about his night of weakness, especially demons like Koga, Inuyasha chose to stay home.

Only a handful of people knew about his secret, his family of course as well as Kagome and Miroku, and they were the only ones who could spend that time with him freely in his home.

"Hmmmmm, perhaps we could reschedule for tomorrow?" Izyoai wondered aloud, drying her hands.

"Hey don't do that on my account. It's not like I can't stay at home by myself" he scoffed.

"I never said that you couldn't Inuyasha" she reprimanded him, batting at one of his ears playfully.

"I just thought that it would be nice to celebrate the fact that there will be a new Takahashi in the family soon"

"Tell ya what. I'll celebrate with everyone when the pup's born, ok mum. I had a crappy day and I just wanna relax tonight. Please, just go with dad and have a good time" said Inuyasha trying to ease the guilt his mother invoked at rescheduling just for him.

"Alright, if you're sure dear" she sighed, grabbing the broom to begin sweeping the tiled floor.

The pointed ears on Inuyasha's head perked up at the sound of a car pulling into the driveway.

"Dad's home" he announced off hand as he finished his apple, throwing it into the garbage can that resided by the cupboard. Izyoai sent him a disapproving glare that made her son smile back sheepishly.

The back door to the kitchen opened and in stepped Inutashio Takahashi, the head history professor of the University in Onchi which was an hour away. The Takahashi family was by no means rich, they were of an average middle class family.

"Welcome home, love" Izyoai smiled warmly, abandoning her broom. Mrs. Takahashi went over to kiss her husband. Inuyasha glanced away, not really caring to see how his parents greeted each other.

"Hey dad" spoke up Inuyasha.

"Ah, just the son I wanted to see"

Inutashio nodded towards the living room and everyone made their way over. Inutashio and Izyoai took their seat on the couch, while Inuyasha occupied the comfy chair. Resting his arms on his knees, Inutashio looked his son in the eye, a smile lifting his lips which raised the twin blue demonic slashes on his cheeks.

"Do you remember your great aunt Sakura? Well she got a hold of me yesterday on my way home. She has decided to take it upon herself to pay for your education" pausing Inutashio watched as Inuyasha's amber eyes widened.

This was seriously good news. For a long while Inuyasha had been worried about getting enough money to attend the same University as Miroku and Kagome for next year. Sure, his dad was a professor at the University that they all wanted to go to, but that didn't mean that it was possible to be accepted and pay next to nothing.

"Wow, so wait. You're telling me that I can go to Onchi University and not have to use my money?" Inuyasha asked his excitement barely contained. This meant that he could use his savings from working part time at the dojo to buy his own car! Now, maybe he could purchase something that would really impress Kagome.

Inuyasha was so busy imagining what he could do with all his money that he didn't see the expression on his father's face falter. Izyoai, sensing her husband's uncertainty, placed a small hand on Inutashio's shoulder and called back her son's attention.

"Unfortunately, Aunt Sakura told me that in order for you to receive anything she wants you to also accept her terms"

"Terms? What does that suppose to mean?" Inuyasha questioned becoming suspicious.

"You will be going to the University in Tokyo for the new semester after you graduate"

Silence descended upon the usually warm and comfortable living room.

"Tokyo? But that's practically on the other side of Japan! What is she? Senile?" Inuyasha exclaimed angrily, jumping to his feet.

"Calm down Inuyasha and sit down, dear" said Izyoai, surprised at her son's reaction. She had thought that he would be pleased to move away and be independent.

"I'm not going to Tokyo! I'm going to Onchi with my friends! I'm not gonna let some old decrypted hag tell me what to do!" the half demon ranted, clearly not calming down.

"Enough! You heard your mother, sit down!" Inutashio bellowed.

Inuyasha's mouth shut. His father rarely ever raised his voice in the house, but when he did it was wise to just do as he demanded.

"You will not talk about your aunt that way, Inuyasha. The reason she requests that you go to Tokyo is because she wants to make it up to your mother. Your mum wanted to go to school there, but your grandparents didn't have the money. When they asked your great aunt, she refused. She believes that by sending you to Tokyo, she will be forgiven"

"I don't care if she feels guilty it's her fault that she's such a greedy hag. I'm going to Onchi!" Inuyasha declared.

Inutashio rose to his feet like a powerful war lord, who had been challenged. Inuyasha would have backed down if he wasn't as stubborn as his father.

"You have just been provided an opportunity that not many can have, boy. You will be going to Tokyo University and you will be living there with your great aunt and you make something of yourself. That is final" Inutashio growled, empathizing his authority.

Izyoai looked between her husband and her son knowing how much alike their personalities were she already guess how things would turn out.

Badly.

"Fine. I'll go, seeing as how you don't want me here" Inuyasha snapped, turning heel. Half a moment later, the front door slammed shut.

"All that pup does is think of himself. He doesn't want to go to Onchi so he can learn. He wants to go because his friends are going there. Ungrateful whelp. Doesn't he realize that he'll never have a future if he messes around like that?" Inutashio grumbled, pacing back and forth from the chair to the couch.

"I think he's just scared, dear"

"Scared of what, Izyoai? Doing work? Well tough luck, he's gotta put in some effort to get what he wants"

Sighing, Izyoai stood up and reached out to grasp his arm so he would listen to her. Sometimes men (and demons) needed to be guided in the right direction when it came to emotions.

"It's not the work he's scared of. He's scared of. He's scared of losing the people he has here, or to be more specific, Kagome. If he leaves and she stays with that Ookami boy, he might lose any chance he has with her" Izyoai clarified.

"Then he definitely won't have a chance with her, if he doesn't focus on his studies. He's going Izyoai, whether he wants to or not"

Inutashio walked out of the room and headed to the garage, leaving Izyoai in the house so he could cool down.

Izyoai could only shake her head.
