Chapter 1: The Slayer's Story

She felt so alone in the world. After everything that happened to her why shouldn't she be confused? Her parents were taken away from her when she was a mere infant and though it wasn't long enough for most children to have memories of their parents, she did. When she was frightened or lonely as a child she could still hear her mother's singing coming back to her as if it was yesterday she had sung.

When she felt that she couldn't go on in a battle when she was younger she imagined her father holding his mighty staff to shield or help her and it always had gave her more strength.

But something wasn't right.

Although she had crisp memories of her parents when she was really young, there was a blur after that, when she was a child. She wasn't sure how she had survived childhood alone and perhaps at one time after her parents' death she wasn't alone. She had a small feeling that there were people who took care of her afterwards, where they were now or if they were alive anymore was the mystery, part of the blur. How could she only remember her parents?

She stood proud on top of a hill that overlooked a village. Her deep blue eyes scanned the village calmly, but yet anxiously. She wore a purple and black slayer outfit that she had made herself in a village that she felt so connected to, the village her mother had grew up in.

Strapped to her back was a huge boomerang that she wore with pride. It was the only object that connected her with her mother. There were other weapons her mother had, but she never knew what happened to them and instead found her own extra weapons in the village she called her home.

She also kept in the village her father's staff, the only thing she had of her fathers, but she couldn't use it properly. She had inherited some of her father's spiritual powers, but never took enough time to learn them. She wanted revenge and she felt she could succeed more if she put her demon slaying skills into use, she was more a fighter anyway. But she kept 'learning the ways of her spiritual energy' on her list when she got the time.

As for her demon slaying weapons she had plans for them. She had a certain demon to destroy, the same one that had killed her parents sixteen years ago.

The village she now focused on was a calm little place with happy people. The slayer wished a little that she could be a part of it. Suddenly the wind started to pick up stronger, blowing through her long brunette hair that fell gracefully down to the middle of her back, going well with her bangs. She kept her eyes on the village below, a demon was coming and she was prepared to take whatever it was out. Summoning all her courage she ran as fast as she could down the hill and to the village because a huge bear demon had made its ugly appearance roaring and slashing through huts.

"Hiraikotsu," yelled the mighty slayer letting go of her boomerang.

The boomerang hit the demon in the side of its head causing it to stumble and roar angrier. The slayer put on her breaks skillfully as she caught her weapon in one hand, looking up at the beast.

The slayer looked her foe over, thinking of a way to destroy it. She placed the boomerang in the earth and drew out two ninja daggers from her outfit. She twirled them artfully in her hands before throwing them at the bear. The demon growled in pain and started to chase after the slayer, which is what she wanted. She didn't want anyone to get hurt or their village even more destroyed.

The slayer took her victim up the same hill she had currently stood from. As she almost reached the top, the demon had closed in on her at the bottom and simply reached up and grabbed her leg, causing her to fall hard on her front. Wincing slightly she knew she had to do something or the bear would pull her further towards him, causing more damage.

Figuring it was her only option and with much difficulty, she tried unfastening her Hiraikotsu from her body. The demon pulled her further towards him making her task harder. Finally she freed herself from the weapon and hit it as hard as she could against the bear's claw that held onto her leg. The demon snarled for his injured paw and quickly let go of the slayer.

Making it all the way up, the slayer turned challengingly towards her opponent, determined to finish the job. Raising the trusty boomerang up in the air she called out its name once more as she let it go fiercely. It hurdled through the air and smacked right into the bear again causing it to fall to the ground with a final growl.

The slayer shot her hand into the air, keeping her eyes on the demon and caught her boomerang in the air as it returned to her as though it was a loyal dog playing fetch.

She let out a relieved sigh then went down the hill towards the dead bear. She took back her daggers from the demon and grabbed traveling cloth from her outfit. She cut pieces from the demon that she could use for weapons and things. This was something she had learned from slayers she had met over the years. Changing back to her original kimono garments, which was designed just like her mother's except light purple instead of pink, she collected her things and headed to the village, she might just receive some money or shelter for her services.

Entering the village she heard cheers and thank yous. The head elder came up to her with a huge smile, "Demon slayer, thank you so much for slaying that demon for us, what is your name child," he asked.

The slayer smiled and replied simply, "Kohana."

"What a lovely name," replied one of the elder women, apparently the head elder's wife.

"Well," spoke the head elder again, "if you are in need of shelter tonight you are certainly welcomed to stay here in our finest inn and eat to your heart's content until you are ready to leave."

Kohana bowed gratefully, "Thank you," she said following the elder. She was never one to turn down free things.

A/N: I know it's a little short, but I hope you liked it so far, I think it was an ok start and don't worry Kohana's not the only main character in this story and of course there won't be any Miroku and Sango because, well you know.

Just so you all know Kohana is going to have her own unique personality that ties in with her parents so see if you can see the likeness and uniqueness, her character should be fun along with a few others I intend to bring in.

ok, enough of me rambling, if you would hit that button that says submit review and put in some words about the new story I'd really appreciate it;) thanks
