Ami: Hello, my friends. Now I will venture into the world of INU-YASHA. However, this will not have any of the regular characters in it. Except maybe Sesshomaru, Koga, or Naraku.
Sesshomaru: Why do you involve me in these petty (disdainfully) stories?
Miroku: You don't want me in your story? But any INU-YASHA story requires me in it.
Inuyasha: NO FING WAY!!!!! This is MY STORY! MINE!
Ami: (Frightened) Thank you Inuyasha. Now to begin.
Prologue: A Curse is Laid
A loud noise permeated the calm of the forest, What had once been a calm, peaceful, glen was now a battleground between two great demons, Inutaisho, and Nejisuke. Inutaisho swung his great sword, Sounga intent on sending Nejisuke to hell, along with the onyx key he carried. The gem was not ordinary, because it wasn't a piece of onyx; it was a crystallized collection of damned souls. The Gateway of Damned Souls, one of the most evil objects in the world. Nejisuke had stolen it from its shrine, and had attacked Inutaisho. Nejisuke now sought the Gateway's counterpart; the Gateway of Innocent Souls. If the two keys were invoked together, the bearer would gain the power to control every single soul in Heaven, Hell, and on Earth.
"Give me the Gateway, Inutaisho! I will control all souls…" his voice trailed off as he saw the Gateway. Like the other, the Gateway of Innocent Souls was a key, but it was made of pearl, because of the soul's pure hearts. He lunged for the key, his desire for it evident in his blood red eyes.
Inutaisho avoided the attack, now spying a young woman in the clearing, her appearance mortal. However, her aura was similar to one of a priestess, scaring him temporarily.
"Who would dare interfere?" Nejisuke had also spied the newcomer. The intruder had deep red hair, and blue eyes. However, her eyes were not just blue; there were also streaks of gold present.
"Nejisuke, Inutaisho, I am not a priestess. I am Azima, one of the Three Demon Fates. Your fight has now gone too far, so I have been sent to end it." Both of the demons flinched. Demons had no ruler, but instead had guardians of the powerful relics. These guardians could also control any event involving a demon, thus the name Three Demon Fates. They rarely intervened in demon affairs, unless the three world's peace was at stake.
"Nejisuke. You have committed a terrible act. None are meant to wield the Gateways, not even the Fates. For this act of treason, you will die, and be sent to Kokuhyou." Azima now turned her glare towards Inutaisho. "You will also suffer a..," her voice trailed off as Nejisuke lunged toward her. She whirled around, pulling a blood red sword inlaid with gold in the center of the blade. Inutaisho could only stare as the blade found its target, burying itself in Nejisuke's chest.
"I will get the Gateway, you damn b…bastard. And you, dog, will die, and your human bitch." Nejisuke's eyes fluttered, and shut for the last time. Her task now completed, Azima turned back towards Inutaisho.
"Inutaisho. For your actions, and good intentions, I will spare your life. However, one of your two sons will have to guard my descendant. However, your son will have to wait 500 years, then he will fulfill his duty. Do you agree to these conditions?"
He only stared blankly at her for a moment; their eyes talking for them. "Though I do this unwillingly, I do agree, Lady Azima." The last he saw of her, was her disappearing back into the void
