"That was the last cup of ramen! Inuyasha did you have to gulp it down like a dog who hasn't eaten in a week!" a raven haired girl named Kagome, wearing a green sailor fuku, shouted angrily at her friend. She just got back from her time in the present. You see, she was from five hundred years in the future. Right now, she was in the Feudal Era, brought forcefully by her stubborn companion. Not only that, it was a time where demons existed, as for her companion, he was a half demon. A temperamental one at that. His name was Inuyasha, he had long silver-white hair and golden eyes like the sun. What made him, him, was the cute dog ears that twitched constantly at the fifteen year old girl's shouting.

"What the hell do you mean that was the last cup of ramen wench? We just got back from that strange era of yours. And didn't you pack more ramen in that stupid bag of yours?" Inuyasha retorted with a snort and an enraged voice.

"Excuse me for not bringing more," Kagome stepped towards him and poked him on the chest,"You - brought - me - back- here - when - I - asked - you - to - stay," she said in between words, poking him hard everytime. Kagome's eye twitched dangerously, she turned around and crossed her arms.

"Inuyasha SIT!" she shouted with venom in her voice as she spoke.

With that single command, he was brought down to the ground against his will and hit the ground hard. His face was full of dirt when he looked up to see the girl walk away. "Keh, she thinks she'll get away from me. Wench will think twice about that," he muttered, a bit too loudly.

"What was that?!" Kagome shouted, obviously hearing his words, she turned around. Her face was red with fury.

"Nothing wench," Inuyasha said.

"Sit," the young miko said once more, bringing the hanyou crashing down just as he was going to get up.

"What the fuck! What the hell did I do?!" Inuyasha yelled at her.

"For calling me wench! Sit!" Kagome repeated the command,"That one was for bringing me a day earlier when you knew that I had the biggest exam in my life. Sit!" she screamed. He was sat three times in the ground under two minutes. New record. By the time, the command wore off, Inuyasha was three feet in the ground.

"They are at it again," a monk wearing a purple robe over a darker purple one. He had dark blue eyes that appeared to be navy or an indigo color. His sleek black hair was tied back into a small pony tail. He has a tekko wrapped around his right hand. The nenju seals his wind tunnel, a curse given by one common enemy, Naraku. The wind tunnel is passed down through the male line in his family.

"He's so stupid," a younger voice said in a mocking tone. A young kitsune to be exact, around the age of seven in human years. Shippo was an orphaned fox demon. The young kit had brown-auburn hair, seemingly orangish as well, emerald eyes, fox feet, and a cream colored, bushy tail. Like most demons, he had narrow and pointed ears. His hair is often held up in a ponytail by a turquoise bow. Shippo mainly wore a greenish-blue shirt with a leafy pattern with a tan vest over it, along with a thin belt and blue pants.

"Who the hell are you calling stupid?!" Inuyasha thumped him on the head, thus, creating a bump on the young fox kit's head. This happened very often to Shippo, to think he would have been use to Inuyasha hitting him on the head.

"That's it. Sit boy!" Kagome brought up the command again, making yet another, Inuyasha crater like figure on the ground. "Would you stop hitting him!" the angered miko shouted.

Inuyasha looked up at her,"Bitch, you are taking advantage of these damn beads."

A woman wearing a traditional woman's kimono, the colors of light pink, magenta, walked over to the scenery. Over her kimono, she wore a long green skirt. She also has arm and leg guards, as well as, straw sandals. Her name was Sango, a demon slayer, with brown eyes and long dark brown hair, often tied in a low or high ponytail. When fighting demons, she wears a black jump suit, with pink armor parts made of demon parts and a red stash around her waist. She carries a gigantic boomerang, named Hiraikotsu, that is made from purified demon bones.

"Kagome, I sense a strong demonic aura coming. By any chance do you sense a sacred jewel shard nearby as well?" Sango asked Kagome. Hearing her words, Kagome switched her gaze from the half dog demon still on the ground to the demon slayer, changed into fighting clothes, with her hiraikotsu in hand.

"Yes, I do. What ever the demon is, it's coming pretty fast, faster than Kouga," the miko retorted.

"Keh, that weak wolf couldn't hurt a fly, let's see how strong this demon is," Inuyasha said stubbornly, getting up from his body-crater and unsheathed his Tetsusaiga.

"Inuyasha, don't take things so lightly, we do not know what demon will be coming," Miroku stated.

"Shaddup monk, I don't need to hear words coming out of your mouth right now. I'll just deal with this demon like I did the others," Inuyasha clarified.

Shippo jumped onto Kagome's shoulder and hid behind her long wavy hair,"Do you think this demon will be strong than Inuyasha?"

"Quiet you little runt! That demon isn't that strong!" Inuyasha shouted from feet away from them. Kagome sighed and shook her head,"I don't know Shippo. But if this demon is cocky like-" A figure came out of no where and knocked the miko backwards. It sent her flying yards away from the hard impact.

"Kagome!" Inuyasha shouted. He readied his tetsusaiga, pointing it to the demon. It was an Oni.

"Human, you have the shards, the others shards are not here in this world, where are the rest," the demon said sharpening it's claws in front of Kagome. Shippo trembled from fear of dying at such a young age. Kagome hurriedly, readied her arrow onto her bow, pointing it to the Oni. She let the arrow fly and it hit the Oni on the forehead, thus, destroying the demon before her very eyes.

Inuyasha growled and walked over her,"Keh, you could have done that sooner before you were hit," he said turning his back on her. Kagome narrowed her eyes at him, but before she can open her mouth, she notice him turn around to look at her with caring eyes. "You aren't hurt are you?" he asked, in a concerned tone. Shippo popped out from her shoulder,"No we are fine."

The half demon eyed the ashes of the demon that was once there. "Inuyasha, you heard it as well. Didn't you?" Miroku asked him. "Mhm. It confuses me even more. What the hell did it mean by the other shards weren't here...in this world?" Inuyasha questioned aloud.

"I can answer that question," a voice said from above. A ghostly figure of the priestess Midoriko was floating in mid air.

"Midoriko-sama, can you please tell us what is going on?" Miroku asked her.

"It's as much of as a surprise to me as to you, young monk. For what I've seen, a force of evil, a demon named Naraku managed to ripe a dimension hole. What you have there young priestess is two shards of the Shikon no Tama in that jar around your neck," Midoriko said, looking over at Kagome.

"Those and the ones that are possessed by the young demon slayer and the wolf demon are the last shards that are in this world. I've heard myths of people saying there were more than one dimension, other worlds. Completely different than where we are standing, different times and mysteries," Midoriko explained.

Inuyasha scratched his head,"That's confusing." Midoriko smiled a little,"What I mean to say is that "Every world or universe is different out there, in others unknown. In one, you, can be a full demon or a human. Your life is completely different from the one you live in today. In some universes, you don't meet the people you know now or you meet them by pure fate. You can be good, you can be evil. It's as easy as that. "

Shippo nodded in understanding,"But how does that affect the shards?"

"Naraku, the demon who is your enemy, tried to cross dimensions, but when doing so, the jewel piece he had in hand broke and separated. Now, he can not pass through without a sole shard. You, young priestess, as well as your friends can pass. Each time you collect one shard of the Shikon no Tama it will transport you to a new world. Although, there will be enemies in other dimensions as well," Midoriko said.

"So we get the shards from the other places and we can make the jewel whole again," Kagome whispered.

"Keh, this is a whole lot of sh-" Inuyasha said, but was cut off by the command.

"Dammit woman, would you take off these damn beads?!" Inuyasha shouted angrily.

"Are you ready to pass?" Midoriko asked,"The only way is for me, even though I may not be alive, my soul is connected to the jewel, I can let you travel to other dimensions. It will be similar to that of traveling through the well," Midoriko said.

"How do you know about the well?" Sango asked her.

"Young demon slayer, I know because it's the only way for the priestess to travel back and forth from," Midoriko explained with a smile. Sango nodded and didn't ask anything else, wanting to hear what other things were needed to be said.

"Well then," Midoriko began to say, channeling her soul and her powers through the shards inside the jar that Kagome had tied around her neck,"You are set to go, but I must tell you this. The other people that would seem similar to you, are not the ones you've come to know. You will look different from the eyes of the other people from the other dimensions, but you will look the same to each other. You may as well meet your other selves."

The group nodded, but Inuyasha let out his trademark,"Keh."

"It's settled, good luck and travel well. Beware of the dangers," Midoriko said. The last thing the group saw was a blue mixed with black tunnel and that was it.

Author's Note: Well that was the prologue, the next chapter is going to be long, so I'll have to see when I have to post it. I hope you liked it. Now, I can use this free time to update my other stories. Until then! Thanks for reading and don't forget to review!
