Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto; it is owned by Masashi Kishimoto and Shonen Jump. Inuyasha is owned by Rumiko Takahashi. I own nothing here. This story is for fun and nothing else. It does not represent me, my views, or my beliefs. This story is not meant to promote or propagate anything. Everything here is fiction upon fiction.

Author's Note: Hello everyone, here we are with something new, something that will hopefully get my groove back when it comes to writing. I am getting tired of writing for Naruto/Supergirl. I feel I need a change. This story is my attempt to get back my mojo for writing.

I have been flirting with the idea of a Naruto/Inuyasha story, but I have been unable to decide a path for the story or a route to choose. This first chapter is an open-ended test chapter. I am hoping to gather ideas from you all about certain paths and routes to take. I am also thinking of adding the character Shion to this story as well.

Some ideas I had was Naruto being the son of Toga in this story, a brother to Inuyasha. Perhaps Naruto was sealed away as well. It would be funny to see Kagome telling Naruto "Osuwari".

One path can be a Naruto/Female Inuyasha/Kagome story. Another path can be Naruto/Kagome, Inuyasha/Kikyo. Another path can have a female Sesshomaru. Another path can have Naruto taking the place of Inuyasha, thus creating a Naruto/Kagome/Kikyo triangle.

Anyways, without further ado, let us begin. I hope you enjoy the reading and I hope you all can give me some good ideas and suggestions.

Prologue- Change can be good or bad.

Midoriko vs The Calamity and the Birth of the Sacred Jewel

The Heian period was an interesting time. It was a time where the country which would be known as Japan was in the hands and control of the nobility. Humans lived in peace for the most part without a care in the world. Art and literature flourished in abundance.

Despite this era being known as one of "peace", the government could not prevent violence and robberies from still occurring to travelers and many others alike. Power resided in the hands of those that controlled the nobility and to protect their interests; police, soldiers, and samurai were still used to great effect. This era had given birth to the rise of the warrior class and to the eventual rise of the military class.

War had become common and there were many who desires to overthrow those in power to have their chance to sit on the throne. In the end, no matter the era, war and bloodshed and peace and progress were cyclical in nature. However, all this changed with the arrival of a great evil and darkness that had almost consumed and destroyed everything.

The horned, Celestial beings from outer space, the Ootsutsuki were a malevolent, evil race of individuals who conquered and destroyed the lives of many an innocent. They seeded planet after planet with special seeds that would mature and create enormously like "God Trees". These trees had the power to absorb the energy and lifeblood of the planet, turning it into nothing but a husk. And then these Celestial Beings would come to the planet and eat the fruit that the tree would give and gain access to immense power and abilities.

One such tree had made its way past the dimensional barriers and had ended up in the Feudal era with very disastrous effects soon following. Unique energy had begun flowing out from the tree and had affected the surrounding flora and fauna as well as the animal life. Yokai, other wise known as demons, had begun to react to the strange energy that the tree had given off, mutating and becoming more powerful than ever before.

Originally, demons were considered to be nothing but an annoyance, a nuisance at best. Powerful maidens known as Miko or priestess, were able to destroy, subdue, and purify these creatures. Unfortunately, these demons now had become mighty and powerful than ever before. There were many priestesses who had lost their lives to these demons. And then eventually, from peasants to the nobility, no one was left safe. This tumultuous time was then later on known as "The Era of Blood."

One day, a demon had eaten the fruit of the God Tree and transformed into the calamity known as the Ten-Tails, a titanic, monstrous being of untold power that had devastated the country. Bodies upon bodies of both human and demon littered the land. The calamity known as the Ten-Tails was a creature that craved destruction and blood. No one could guess its motives. It had gained sentience and a hungry desire to become the ultimate being of power.

The Ten-tails would have destroyed all of Japan and possibly the planet, if not for a brave priestess who had finally emerged from the shadows to do battle with the Ten-Tails. The Shrine Priestess, Midoriko, an immensely powerful swordsman who could slay a hundred samurai with a swing of her blade and Miko with immense, unusual spiritual power had fought a life and death battle with the Ten-Tails.

The landscape had changed disastrously as wind, lightning, water, earth, and fire had flooded all of Japan. This conflict had rendered Japan almost inhabitable and human and demon kind almost extinct. Worst of all for Midoriko, she was unable to defeat this monstrous beast.

The Ten-Tails was unlike any demon she had ever fought. It was more like she was fighting a horrific, natural disaster that cared for absolutely nothing. After a week of battle, Midoriko realized the cold truth; she could triumph over this monster. There was only one path left.

Midoriko had chosen to seal the Ten-Tails away permanently so it could do no more harm. She was able to buy herself precious time, such precious time to enact a powerful sealing array which allowed her to seal herself and the beast away at the cost of her life.

The Sacred jewel, other known as the Shikon No Tama, the Jewel of the Four Souls was a traitorous weapon. It had passed from the hands of many a demon to eventually being safeguarded by the Priestess Shion… and then passed on to the Priestess Kikyo. Many desired the Sacred Jewel, from demon to human like. Demons and humans coveted its great power and its so-called ability to grant wishes.

Neither did Midoriko, nor Shion, nor Kikyo, as well as the scores of great demons that possessed the Jewel learned of its true purpose. The Jewel could not grant anything that the person or demon desired. It only desired to destroy and ruin the lives of many. It truly was a weapon that could only be kept in check, but not truly overcome.

Neither did anyone truly understand what the Ten-Tails was in reality. It was not something that could be comprehended and understood by normal means. And this mindless creature had gained something that would horrify those who were truly wise- sentience.

The jewel was simply the weapon and anchor of the Ten-Tails. Using the Jewel, it could corrupt its user into doing what it wanted and granted the user unique and powerful abilities based off of its own physiology to entice it to desire it more and more. It was a traitorous bitch that desired to fulfill its own wishes and desires, nothing more.

Even Shion and Kikyo did not fare well when it came to the jewel. Both suffered misery and misfortune in their lives because of said jewel. Both had suffered and both had died, with betrayal being the final memory they were forced to see.

Both had desires to purify the jewel and make a pure wish that would see the jewel disappear. Both wished to be with the man they loved with all their hearts. Unfortunately, neither of them truly realized that the evil inside the jewel would prevent even a wish made with noble intentions succeeding. No one truly knew the correct wish to make that would send the jewel into its rightful place- oblivion.

Once again, the Sacred Jewel of the Four Souls was sought again, this time by a vile, sick human being who became a half demon. He had hatched an evil plan to obtain it and the lovely maiden Kikyo. Of course, his plan had backfired, but the being known as Naraku was patient and would wait until the jewel that Kikyo took to the grave brought itself back to the land of the living.

Naraku was known as the ultimate incel. Of course, that term did not exist back then, but you could call this freak the prototype for the definition. In fact, if one looked in the modern dictionary, one would find Naraku and Incel joined at the hip. Naraku was a prideful, vile, cruel being who desired power and immortality. He ruined and destroyed the lives of whomsoever he wished on a whim. He spared no one.

He desired to possess the lovely Kikyo's heart… and when he discovered that she had fallen in love with a half-demon named Inuyasha, he chose to ruin their lives by pitting the two lovers against one another. Unfortunately, Kikyo chose to seal Inuyasha away and took the jewel with her to the grave. Naraku also failed when Kikyo chose to seal Inuyasha rather than kill him; she still loved him.

For the next fifty years, Naraku plotted as he increased his own strength and ruined the lives of many. He had inflicted a generational curse upon a family of monks as well as keeping an eye on Kikyo's village from a distance. Such was his hunger and lust for the jewel, that Naraku did not realize that if he ever did come to possess it, he too would be nothing but a worthless pawn and victim.

However, good will always find a way to triumph over evil. The vile demon Naraku and all those who desired and coveted the Jewel would find themselves receiving a justified and brutal end. A rag tag group consisting of a blonde-haired, blue-eyed man, a half-demon, a lecherous monk, a demon slayer, a fox demon, a transforming cat; this would be the group that would one day contribute to the brutal end of Naraku and to the end of the Jewel itself.

This is a story of good triumphing over evil. This is the story of women finding love. This is the story of a blond and a half-demon finding peace in their hearts. This is the story of Uzumaki Naruto, the mightiest ninja ever, and his friend, Inuyasha, the greatest half-demon ever.

Stick along for a ride of epic proportions.

Chapter End

This is the end of the Prologue. I hope you all enjoy it. Please read and review generously. I am in desperate need of ideas and suggestions as to what kind of paths to choose. Please do share your ideas and suggestions.

Two Fisted Kitsune and Naruto the Protector of the Feudal Era are inspirations for the story. Imagine seeing Kagome and Naruto, and Kagome giving Naruto sit commands; funny stuff. I might also cover the movies in this story.

This is my first time doing something like this, so I hope to do a good job. Remember, depending on your ideas and thoughts, this prologue might have to be changed and rewritten. Naraku himself will stay evil to the core and will die as a villain with no sliver of happiness. He is a pretty good villain, and will stay as such. Unlike Orochimaru, there is no redemption for Naraku.

Perhaps, Naruto will gain a sword or a staff as a weapon. This story has the potential to show interesting, powerful villains with unique abilities. We may even see a different Ryukotsusei, a different Entei, etc.

Once again, I look forward to your ideas and thoughts. Apart from religion and family, writing is the only thing giving me comfort these days. I hope everyone enjoys the rest of the year and I hope all is well with your loved ones. Stay safe and well wishes.

See you all in the next update.
