Kagome was born and raised in feudal Japan. She and her sister Kikyo were the daughters of the samurai Lord Higurashi who was Shogun of the southern region. Unlike any of the other princess of Japan, Kagome and Kikyo were training to become priestess, It was there fathers wish that would learn how to defend themselves and discover there spiritual power that has been past through the women of there family for generations. There days included archery and the art of sword play. Doing things like this never really bothered Kagome, But she also wished she could be like other girls, like running free without a care in world. But she also knew that this was her fathers wishes and he duty to continue the heritage that was bestowed upon the House of Higurashi.

One beautiful spring morning, Kagome and Kikyo were out doing target practice in the main court yard. Kagome pulled back the bow and released the arrow. It flew with great speed but landed on edge of the centre of the target. Kagome shrugged with disappointment. Kikyo then placed her hand on Kagome's shoulder.

"It's alright sister, You almost had it. And your posture and strength is getting better" Kikyo said with encouragement.

Kagome smiled "Thank you Kikyo, and I know I'm getting better but I'll never be at the same level as you. I mean your a prodigy both spiritually and physically"

This made Kikyo frown a little. As the eldest sister things like this came naturally to her but for Kagome it took a lot more training a patience. Every since they were little Kikyo was always the one looking out for Kagome since there mother past away and there father had little time to spend with them. But she wouldn't have it any other way, she loved her little sister and will do the best she could to make her as strong as she is. But she also wanted her to be happy and to have a blessed life.

"Kagome do ever wonder about having a different life. I mean that of normal women?"

Kagome sighed, she should have know that Kikyo wouldn't have missed a chance to ask about what she wanted. The truth was that Kagome dreamed of finding true love like in the stories she and Kikyo use to read when they were young. But like all stories they are just stories to help children sleep. But stop her from dreaming a dream of a child.

"Kikyo, I don't mind this life. It's cool that we learn how to fight like father and to reach a strength beyond ordinary humans. And this important to father and I don't want to disappoint him"

"I'm not asking what father wants. I'm asking what you want. I know that you could have a blessed life. Not having to worry about what other people want you to do with your life or having to tell you. Listen to me I sound like mother."

"You always sounded like mother, Buts thats why I always feel safe when I'm with you and feel like mother hasn't truly left us"

Kagome put down her bow and arrow and walked away leaving Kikyo to continue alone. Kagome made her way to the stable, There lying in the hay was a giant sleeping two tailed cat Demon. Kagome walked over to the demon and lay on the torso of the cat. The cat then placed it's tail on Kagome to keep her warm.

"Thank you Kirara, Your such a good girl."

Kirara gave a low purr and licked Kagome's face. Kirara was founded by Lord Higurashi and his Vassal Tonraq when the girls were babies. Tonraq kept Kirara for a year to tame her before giving her to Kagome and Kikyo just to be safe. Kirara became the closet think Kagome had to a friend, Being a person of high class it was hard for her to make friends. Kirara became both a friend a protecter for Kagome and Kikyo. And she would always protect them in times of grate need.

There came a sound of men on horse back coming from out side the stable. Kagome walked out and saw her father riding back from his falcon hunt followed by two of his Vassal's, A man and women named Tonraq and Korra. Lord Higurashi was a tall strong man in his black Hakama with black hair and beard on his face, He also had brown eyes which Kagome inherited from him. Tonraq was a strong man with brown hair and beard, He had blue eyes and was wearing a midnight blue Hakama. Tonraq and his family had served under the Higurashi clan for generations not just because they were skill swordsmen but they also had the power to control water with the minds. From Father to son and sometimes father to daughter they would learn the art of the sword and waterbending. Tonraq had no sons so he decided to put his only daughter Korra through way of the samurai. Korra looked like her father in some ways. In eye colour and skin but she wore a dark blue Hakama.

Instead of riding a horse like her father Korra was riding a polar bear dog Hybrid. Kagome couldn't help but stare at Korra, she was a beautiful women with a strong heart and will to fight. Since Kagome was a child she was always drawn to Korra like there was some great and beautiful power about her. Lord Higurashi saw his daughter and waved. Kagome waved back to her father and ran over to them.

"Hello father. How was the hunt?",

Lord Higurashi dismounted from his horse and gave Kagome a hug.

"It was a successful hunt my dear, with the help of Tonraq and his daughter Korra"

Korra and Tonraq both dismounted and bowed there heads. Korra eyes then met Kagome's, it was almost as if the whole world stood still for a brief moment.

" I thank you and your family for you service and protection of my father. Please protect him with you life" Kagome thanked them

Korra smiled a warm smile that warmed Kagome to the bone.

"As You Wish My Lady" Korra said bowing again.
