Hello everyone, here's a new story for all my Inuyasha lovers out there! So i'm unsure if this is going to be a Kouga, Sesshomaru, or Bankotsu story so review and give me some ideas. Just remember I don't own Inuyasha, just my personal touch to the plot line and Mai :) thank you please Review and Private message me with who you think shouldbe the stars of the romance.

Chapter 1

I arrive Haneda Airport anticipating the new school year in Tokyo, Japan on the Foreign exchange program from Oregon State. Oh! How rude of me, My name is Mai Katsuko I am an 18 year old college student from Oregon in the United States. I know my name is confusing both of my parents are fascinated with the Japanese culture seeing as they are both martial arts instructors on the side of their everyday jobs. I have been trained in the martial arts and have two weapons that i like to carry then everywhere but unfortunately I had to mail them to Japan seeing as I could carry them on the plane. Sigh, but I digress. I have blonde hair with blue eyes i'm short about 5'3'' and have a slim figure, and can usually be found in my normal clothes consisting of skinny jeans and graphic tees.

Anyway so I make my way towards baggage claim where I see a Japanese family with my name on easel. So that must be the Higarashi family that i'm to be staying with. The family consists of a kind looking woman, elderly man, a young boy, and a girl in her teen years. I can tell easily that they will be very kind and welcoming. I walk up to them smiling, and then when i reach them I bow as is custom in japan.

" Hello you must be the Higarashi Family, it is a pleasure to meet you." I speak in Japanese.

The woman bows in return and smiles, " You must be Mai, welcome to Japan."

" Thank you for allowing me to stay at your house while I attend school here."

" Its not a problem at all, but I must say you have excellent manners for a American."

" Well thank you I appreciate it." I smile and then we shake hands as I move to the elderly man

" Hello my name is Mai, its nice to meet you all."

" Just call me Grandpa." Says the elderly man.

" I'm Sota" Says the young boy

" And i'm Kagome its a pleasure to have you stay in our home." I smile at the girl

" Well thank you." I reply

" Well then everyone lets get home so Mai can unpack, Oh! Am we received a couple of packages for you at the house a couple of days ago they are waiting in your room."

" Oh! I know just what they are thank you so much!"

We all get into the car and travel through the city I stare in awe at the amount of people and buildings that tower over the city. We arrive at the shrine that the Higarashi family lives at , I walk up the shrine steps and look around the place watching the family walk into the house. Kagome stays by my side and looks towards me.

" So how are you liking Japan so far?" Kagome asks.

" I like it very much, theres so much history here and I feel somewhat at peace here, like I almost belong here." I reply smiling.

She grins and laughs a little, " This shrine seems to do that. I believe its the sacred tree that does that."

I smile, " Maybe."

We walk into the house and Kagome shows me to my room. I walk in seeing the two packages on my bed, thats covered in a blue blanket, I set my luggage down and usher Kagome inside.

" Ah my babies have arrived, come please see, I know that it must be strange to see but i feel better with them present." She smiles at me as I open the shorter package.

Inside the package is a white hilt and sheathed sword with the elegant carving of a Dragon etched in gold into the hilt of the sword. I then take the sword out revealing the Coal black blade and then place it back into the sheath.

" This here is my sword Ryu, the great dragon blade. It has been passed down my family for generations, once the heir to the family becomes of age and completes their training." I smile

I expected a look of fright on her face but she just kindly smiles , " It is a beautiful sword, and the other one?"

I smile slightly laughing , " Well i'm surprised your so calm about this but here's the other one." I open up the next box, a lot longer but wider than the other one, it contains a scythe on a long pole its blades are blood red and the hilt is coal black. It contains three blades the longest one on top. (think Hidan's scythe from Naruto).

" This one is called the demon slayer, this has also been passed down."

" Demon slayer?" She asks with a confused look.

" Yes, I know its a little strange, but that's its name, it was have said that the blood of one thousand demons stainded the blades red but its just a old family legend." I laugh.

Kagome appears to have this strange look on her face as she looks at the blade then she smiles, " Well they are both beautiful, Oh i'm going to be gone for a few days to a friends house so I hope you enjoy your time here."

" I will thank you."

Kagome leaves my room and I hear her talking to her mother and then she leaves the house, I watch from the window as she goes into another building in the shrine, and then a few moments later I see a bright pink light.

Hmmm, thats strange , well maybe she had some business to do inside there before she leaves?

I shrug to myself and proceed downstairs as i hear Mrs. Higarashi call that dinner is ready.

I proceed to eat then head for bed, this jet lag is killer on me. I then proceed to a dreamless sleep.

^ 4am^

I wake up with a start hearing screaming, coming from the well.

Oh no! Kagome!

I rush towards the shrine realizing that i'm still dressed in my regular clothes from last night, I picked up my sword and scythe before hand and open the shrine doors. I see a bright light coming from inside the well where the screaming is coming from.

I wonder if she fell down the well?

" Kagome? Are you in there?"

I hear a cry "Help me!"

I rush down the stairs and end up tripping into the well.
