The Fairytale That Never Happened
Prologue
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The lone priestess called Kikyou was walking along the village with her younger sister Kaede at her side. Both were heading towards Onigumo's cave, where he lay unmoving until the end of his days. Kaede reached there first, being younger than her sister and more faster. She saw the man there lying on the ground, eyes closed and not breathing. She screamed.
Kikyou came running in. "What's wrong, Kaede?"
Kaede looked at her sister with tears. "Onee-Sama! He's dead!"
Kikyou bowed her head in respect, then looked at her younger sister. "It's all right, Kaede. This was not your fault." She then remembered something. "Kaede, go back to the village. I have to go into the Goshinboku forest."
"Will you return?" she asked hopefully.
"Hai, I promise." The miko left and headed towards the forest after paying respects to Onigumo.
On her way to the forest, she noticed something. An evil presence, whether it be man or beast, lurked there. The miko looked everywhere, but found nothing. "Who's there? Show-" the miko screamed as claws slashed her body and she collapsed. But she didn't fall to the ground.
Somebody caught her.
She looked up into the most beautiful amber eyes she had ever seen. The man had long, silver hair that she just really wanted to feel, and - dog ears? Her eyes widened. She had been saved by a hanyou!
"I don't know who you think you are, but you have no right to attack me like that!" the miko cried, crossing her arms over her chest.
"I think you're mistaken," the hanyou retorted. "It was I who saved you. What you were attacked by was not me, but a powerful snake-dragon demon wanting to have you for lunch."
"So... you saved me? A hanyou saving a human?"
"Ironic, ne? Seeing as we aren't supposed to get along," he whispered. "What's... your name?"
"My name is Kikyou and I am the miko of this village. And you?"
"My name is Inuyasha. I don't live anywhere and wander the countryside slaying demons."
"I see... Inuyasha, would you mind accompanying me to my hut?"
