Well...first thing's first. Disclaimers. I do not own any of the characters in the following, save but the few I have made up. As for the song in the following fic, lyrics were written by Amy Lee, from the band of Evanescence, the song titled, "Going Under".
Full Summary: Prologue starts as a songfic, "Going Under" by Amy Lee of Evanescence. A young inu half-demon named InuYasha Taisho was betrayed. Betrayed by the one he thought he had loved. That priestess, Kikyo. They had a conflict in the forest, InuYasha's forest, where his life would never be the same. That very day, his life was a complete turn around, and he lived in misery and fury for the next fifty years. That is, until he meets a young girl. Will she be able to help him, this hanyou? He is no longer himself, for Kikyo put a spell upon him, an enchantment that lasted even after the woman's death. This young woman, Kagome Higurashi, just may be able to heal his icy heart. Inu-Kag, Mir-San. R&R!

Prologue: Going Under
"Now I will tell you what I've done for you
Fifty thousand tears I've cried
Screaming, deceiving, and bleeding for you
And you still can't hear me...
Going under"
He backed against the tree, golden eyes wide as he felt the shaft pierce his chest, blood splattered on the bark's surface and in his long, silvery hair. Dog ears swiveled forward at the sound of her menacing cackle.
"Don't want your hand
This time I'll save myself
Maybe I'll wake up for once
Now tormented daily, defeated by you
Just when I though I've reached the bottom"
"I cannot risk it," the voice said. "It's either the Shikon no Tama, or you. My loyalty lies with the village, half-demon." He felt his strength drain from his body as amber orbs were now clouded and half covered with dropping lids.
"I dive again
I'm going under
Drowning in you
I'm falling forever
I've got to break through
I'm going under"
The woman in front approached. A priestess. "Kikyo..." he muttered. "But...why...? I thought...I thought we..." he said in a pained, hoarse whisper. She silences him with her fingers on his lips.
"Blurring and stirring, the truth and the lies
So I don't know what's near and what's not
Always confusing the thoughts in my head
So I can't trust myself anymore"
"You, dear InuYasha," she hissed venomously, "will no longer be a threat to me, or that of my jewel and village." His hand attempted to stray towards his battered sword on his waist, he himself still hanging from the tree by that single sacred arrow.
"I dive again
I'm going under
Drowning in you
I'm falling forever
I've got to break through
I'm..."
He was too late. She waved her hand with a chant, and he felt pain throbbing in his chest. Hands curled into talons, feet into paws, face into a fanged beak. Eyes narrowed and were rimmed in black, though still holding their furious gold. He watched as she took his sword and drove it into his already wounded torso.
"So go on and scream
Scream at me
I'm so far away
I won't be broken again
I've got to breathe
I can't keep going under"
He watched as his father's heirloom disappeared into his body, and he felt power surge through him. He took his taloned hands and wrenched out the enchanted arrow free. Her eyes were wide in shock, her taunting voice at a stand still. He raised that clawed, scaly hand, growling, baring the fangs in his beak.
"I dive again
I'm going under
Drowning in you
I'm falling forever
I've got to break through
I'm going under
Going under
I'm going under"
He felt hot, sticky blood in his grasp as she screamed in agony. Her cold, gray eyes stared hatred at the silver creature of fur and feather. The creature was now a creature of the demon sword. This one was now the foretold beast of legend, the half-demon to be fused with Tetsusaiga the Cleaving Fang. She laid there, motionless, and he growled triumphantly. Then he, too, fell over, right next to the dead miko.
"Going under"
