Description

An AU where Kagome never crosses into Feudal Japan, the Shikon Jewel is never burned with Kikyo and Kagome's son is the one who goes down the Bone-Eaters Well.

Inuyasha was pinned to the tree for only thirty years when the seal is accidentally broken by a traveling monk, whom dashed once the demon was freed. He learns of Kikyo's death from a 40-year-old Kaede, who is ready to send him to the after but, allows him to live, and subjugates him instead. He tries many times to steal the Shikon jewel, however, is thwarted time and time again by Kaede - who soon becomes fond of their little game. Soon Inuyasha too becomes fond of the old woman and for the next decade begins helping her guard the jewel with the excuse that he is protecting it for himself. Five years go by and he finds that can no longer stay in the village as he feels he is weaker than the demons that come looking for the jewel. Kaede and the village bid him farewell and a safe journey as he sets off to become stronger. Along the way he comes across an injured Demon Fox and his young son, Shippo, running from a stronger demon -Inuyasha defeats the demon as the fox thanks him and brings him to his home for a day of rest. Much later, he comes passing a village and is mistaken for a demon that has been terrorizing the simple village. The young demon slayer is mistrusting of him, and tells him they don't need a demons help, least of all a half-breed. Soon the real demon appears and begins attacking the villagers as well as the demon slayers. The half-demon protects the young girl from being devoured and with her help slays the demon. Once the job is done the group leaves the village and soon go their separate ways:

"Wait, before you go, you have not yet told me your name."

"Why do you wanna know?" he skeptically asked. The young girl gave a small smile.

"I wish to remember the power demon I fought beside." Inuyasha stood still, shocked by the young girl's words. After a moment’s thought, he answered.

"Inuyasha. My name is Inuyasha."

"My name is Sango. Should you ever require my assistance, you need but all ask." Inuyasha nods. Both finding newfound respect for the other.

"We live in a village not too far from here." she calls out.

"Why tell me that?" he says without looking back.

"Should you ever tire of wandering and should we ever meet again, I would be honored to fight beside you." she finished. Inuyasha turned back and waved, Sango waved back in return.

Later he come across a swindling monk, tricking a merchant into believing his home is under a demonic curse and would dispel it -for a small fee of course! Inuyasha calls him to be a fake, enraging the merchant who has the guards chase after the monk. Though anger at the half demon the monk tell him his name is Miroku and that he was not completely lying when he said a curse covered the merchants home. Once hearing Inuyasha's reason for traveling, the monk reveals his reason. He explains he is trying to reverse a curse placed on his family, two generations ago by an evil demon called Naraku. The two journey together for some time, bonding over time when they come face to face with his brother, Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru, looking for his father's fang and its location discovers it to be hidden with Inuyasha's eye. After a series of events all three jump through the portal and try to claim the sword, it was there Sesshomaru found could not wield it as his little brother could and with it heavily wounded him. After traveling a while more -Miroku and Inuyasha soon parting ways- he returns to the village feeling stronger, worthy enough to maybe someday soon be possessor of the Shikon no Tama. However, not all goes as planned. A demon disguised as a human comes to the village looking for shelter in a terrible blizzard. The young woman is kind but is quite mysterious, leaving Inuyasha uncomfortable and never lets her out of his sight. He soon catches the girl stealing the jewel; he gives chase as she screams, feigning innocence. The villagers watch the scene and all -but Kaede- believe him to be going mad once again and attempt to stop him. Kaede is able to buy him time to flee after the demon. He corners the demon that, before his eyes, changes into Kikyo much to his shock. During their fight, the demon reveals that he is the one who pitted the two against one another and delivers a killing blow. At the same time, Inuyasha critically injures the demon causing him to drop the jewel and flee. 

Kaede having saw the end of the fight rushes to the half demons aid, begging him to be still as the villagers quickly carry him to the village. As he lay in the snowy village square, he tells Kaede the man who tricked Kikyo and him was a demon named Naraku. Kaede places the shikon no tama in his hand telling to make his wish to become a full demon so he may live. He clutches the jewel tightly in his hand and tells her to burn it with his body; it is what Kikyo would have done. The jewel shines warmly and bright, reflecting his pure-hearted request. The villagers begin to mourn the dying half demon, who stares contently at the setting sky:

The half demon softly chuckled as the stars began to shine. "I was born this night...my m-mother told me I-I was the most beautiful thing she ever laid eyes on."

Kaede stroked his head, moving silver hair from his face - a face that now look to have belonged to that of a child. "Yes... More beautiful than the stars."

The last rays of the sun finally left the sky, shrouding the land in darkness. The only light in the darkness were the torches. Before Kaede's eyes the silver hair began to change, stripping the color until the hair was as black as night, amber eyes darkening.

"She-she...mother said that-..." A long pause and then...nothing. Eyes were the color of the night river, dark and dull. Inuyasha was dead.
