The story begins: Part one
My name is Kagome Higurashi. I was born in the middle of the feudal era along with my twin, Kikyo. My mother and father were so happy the day we were born. Our mother, Luna, used to tell us stories of the two most powerful mikos to ever live, Midoriko and Miyako. Both were twin sister and though Midoriko never had any children, Miyako was our great-great-great-great grandmother. Part of the reason our family rejoiced at our birth is because they believed that Midoriko and Miyako had finally been reincarnated. Kikyo and I are the two most powerful mikos of our time and there for are coveted by many. Our mother would tell us these stories to remind us how important it was for us to stick together. Not knowing how important these stories would actually become for us. When Kikyo and I were three, we accompanied our mother to the market. We were there to get medicinal herbs for the village as our mother was the resident miko since grandma was taken to the western castle by order of the great lord Inu No Tisho, to become their healer since the one they had passed away. While we were there we came across a man we had never seen there before. He was selling some herbs we needed. My mother looked at him and smiled. "My I ask your name? I have never seen you here before and since I frequent here often, I surely would have recognized you and this wonderful stand before." My mother thought he was a nice man, but both me and Kikyo felt very uncomfortable around him. "My name is Onigumo." He said with a smile that chilled me and my sister to the bone. "I was banished from the north not too long ago by Lord Naraku because I refused to do his harmful bidding." He was lieing and I knew it, but who would believe a young child like myself. My mother took pity on him and offered to let him live in our village, where he would be well taken care of. Shortly after Kikyo and I turned four, tragedy struck. Onigumo came to us and told us our father was killed by bandits whilst protecting our village. My mother wept for days, as did me and Kikyo. Our hearts broken, my mother tried to give us a family by letting Onigumo become a part of it. They married a year later. Kikyo and I hated our step-father, especially since he insisted we call him father. The first time he made the request, I boldly told him, "We already had a father, and even though he is dead, you will never take his place." His response was to back hand me. Since that day, both Kikyo and I called him father because we did not wish for more harm on either one of us. Tragedy struck again shortly after our 8th birthday, our mother had become deathly ill. Whilst on her death bed she made one final request, "Onigumo, please look after my girls. Give them the life I should have. Love them like their father would. Please, make sure they become the young women they were ment to be." Onigumo gave a half hearted promise to do just that. Our lives were miserable after mother died. That is until that fateful day ten years later. The day everything changed….
