Chapter 1

"Kagome, for my final wish, I wish for..." a voice filled with anticipation started. What ever the speaker wanted fell on deaf ears as a lovely young maiden sighed.

Said maiden had pastel cerulean eyes that stared at the mortal before her with a jaded expression on her countenance. She donned a white kimono that was embroidered with red dragons. The obi was pure crimson. Kagome sat in the air listening to her "master's" wish. Raven locks cascaded freely down to mid-back as she brought her left hand up in the air.

As she brought her hand up, the sleeve of her kimono lowered revealing a creamy alabaster wrist. It was at that moment that her hand began to glow a pale indigo.

Kagome sighed when she felt an influence that was pulling her towards the small jewel known as the Shikon no Tama. However, before she was sealed away, Kagome caught the expression of happiness that was manifested on her master's face and she smiled. As long as she had made someone happy, she was content. Slowly, she closed her eyes disregarding the empty feeling within her.

Before she could open her eyes, Kagome felt the cold brisk air surround her. She blinked once before taking in her surroundings, or rather, lack there of.

It was a vast wasteland shrouded in an eerie mist. That was his third wish, Kagome thought absentmindedly to herself, I wonder who my next master will be.

"I will sell this amazing jewel to you for five bags of rice," a traveling merchant stated to a silver haired kitsune who was wearing a plain white haori and a pair of white hakama pants. "They say that there is a beautiful maiden that is trapped within this jewel, and she will grant three wishes to the one who releases her," the merchant added in hopes of making a sale.

The kitsune stared at the merchant with tediousness in his amber orbs. However, when he looked down at the small boy by his side, he saw a look of astonishment in those green eyes.

"Did you hear that, Kurama?" the red haired kit questioned. Youko Kurama, Lord of the Southern Lands, gave a curt nod in response, although on the inside, he loathed this man for regaling his cousin with such ludicrous tales.

"Merchant, be on your way. I do not need your worthless trash on my lands any longer." Kurama said impassively.

Shippou looked up with apologetic eyes, before turning to the kitsune beside him, "Kurama, maybe you should buy the jewel and give it to Sesshoumaru-sama as a gift."

Kurama entertained the thought for a few moments before he turned to his friend and advisor, a bat youkai named Kuronue. He donned a navy outfit. Upon his back rested two bat-like wings.

Neither the kitsune nor the bat youkai believed a word of the human vendor. However, Kuronue only shrugged as he said nonchalantly, "Saves you the trouble of finding the right gift for 'his majesty'."

Nodding, Kurama paid the man and stared at the tiny bauble in his hand.

Sun-kissed orbs stared around the room with disinterest. Today, he was twenty summers in youkai age, but he was around five-hundred summers in human age.

"Another year older, Sesshoumaru," the Lord of the North, Sephiroth, stated impassively. The Taiyoukai turned to the Northern Lord with a blank expression manifested upon his countenance.

Sephiroth, equal in power and strength to Sesshoumaru, stood there clad in a black haori and a pair hakama pants. Silver hair cascaded down past his hips. Emerald green eyes glanced around the room with disinterest. He could hear what others were saying about his wing.

Less than half a century ago, the four Lands were engaged in a war with a neighboring country.

In the battle, Sephiroth had lost his left wing while Sesshoumaru had lost his left arm. Neither of the two allowed this to hinder them in any way, therefore the two had trained rigorously to compensate for the missing wing and arm.

The two were brought out of their memories when a loud clank was heard followed by jarring voices of two familiar nuisances. The Western and Northern Lords turned to find Inuyasha and Sephiroth's younger brother, Kadaj arguing over something that the Lords thought would be petty.

Sesshoumaru deemed that he was the fortunate one when he saw four silver haired young men not too far away; two of which were arguing. While, he had to suffer Inuyasha's presence, Sephiroth had three brothers, Kadaj, Yazoo, and Loz.

"Here," Sephiroth, ignoring his brothers and the hanyou, said as he produced a sword, "Kaijinbou made this. He called it Toukijin."

In response, Sesshoumaru only nodded when another silver haired figure came into his line of vision. The Southern Lord appeared before Sesshoumaru with a small pouch in his hand. Behind him were his cousin, Shippou, who came into his care after the death of the kit's parents in the previously mentioned war, and Kurama's advisor, Kuronue.

On the bat youkai's shoulder was a small hanyou female with white hair and a tanned complexion. Shiori, as Kuronue had once introduced her, was the daughter of Kuronue's brother and Tsukyoumaru's human mate. Tsukyoumaru died in battle while Shiori's mother died of child-birth. When Shiori came into Kuronue's care, he immediately formed a bond with the hanyou girl. He did not allow the prejudice of this era to hurt Shiori.

"This is for you," Kurama stated impassively as he watched Shippou and Shiori run off. Kuronue seemed to have sauntered off towards the still arguing Inuyasha and Kadaj.

Sesshoumaru opened the pouch to have a small lavender jewel fall into the palm of his hand. At this, an eyebrow rose as Sesshoumaru eyed the small bauble, "And this is?"

Kurama shrugged as he responded, "There's supposed to be a wench inside that tiny little thing and if you're able to release her, then she'll grant you three wishes."

"Supposed to be?" Sesshoumaru questioned skeptically. Sephiroth chuckled at the absurd notion while Kurama only fiddled with a red rose that he had been holding. It was then that the Eastern Lord appeared.

"Sesshoumaru, Sephiroth, Kurama," a self-important voice greeted. The three lords turned to find the Lord of the East, Kouga, clad in his usual attire. His companions, Ginta and Hakkaku, were trailing tiredly behind him, and as soon as Kouga came to a stop, they collapsed.

The Western Lord nodded towards the Ookami youkai, who returned it with a bow. As soon as he straightened, Kouga moved to the side revealing a few of his wolves carrying what appeared to be fur. "In honor of this day, I present to you the grand fur of our most difficult killing."

"You gave him fur off of a dead carcass," Kurama commented.

Kouga immediately bared his fangs as he stated, "Any one in my pack would be honored to have such fur, for your information, Fox-boy." In response, Kurama bared his own fangs, already prepared to put Kouga in his place.

"Enough," the baritone voice of the Western Lord commanded, and immediately, the two youkai backed away from each other.

Late into the night, Sesshoumaru sat on his futon staring at the small jewel that Kurama had given him. Out of all the gifts that he was given, he considered Toukijin to be the most useful, but the Shikon no Tama was the most intriguing... were he to believe the legend.

After he established that he did NOT believe Kurama's tale, Sesshoumaru tossed the small bauble aside and allowed sleep to overtake him.

However, when a violet light began to glow, Sesshoumaru immediately sat up with Toukijin in hand. When the light faded, Sesshoumaru came face to face with a stunning young female who appeared to be no more than sixteen summers age sitting on the floor while shaking her head from side to side slowly.

Slowly, Kagome opened her eyes to find a familiar pair of amber orbs staring at her. Immediately, she stood up and shouted, "YOU! I already granted you your three wishes, Touga! Don't think tha--"

Before she could continue, she felt the tip of Toukijin at her neck. Slowly, Sesshoumaru brought the sword upwards causing Kagome to tilt her head up so that he could examine her.

Upon closer inspection, Kagome gasped, "You're not Touga..."

Coldly, the Touga-look-alike stated, "Indeed, I am his son, Lord Sesshoumaru."
