Chapter one: Reborn

She stared down at her reflection. Long black hair with bangs, emerald eyes, tan skin and purple half moon print on her forehead indicating she was a part of a strong bloodline.

The shimmering blue waters of the lake gently brushed all around Hiromi's bare thighs sending shivers up her spine. The night was ice cold, breathing out she left a trail of fog. The trees were still there wasn't a sound, scent, or slight breeze weaving between them.

A single tear ran down Hiromi's right eye. The hot tear fell from her cheek and landed in the water creating ripples... Hiromi never cries so a tear was a huge deal, she was thankful no one was around to witness its fall. She would never admit the pain that single tear carried. The loss of family, friends, her master, father, all the many guards, and maids roaming about the palace floors... all gone.

Hiromi continued to look at her reflection staring at those sad eyes. No light, not a single bit of happiness expressed through this girl's face. Filled with anger, sadness, and pain... new emotions she had never felt before. All of it was hurting her... scratching against the tender. 'What now?' was all that she could think of she wasn't told to take care of her four siblings but knew it was the right thing to do. How is she supposed to live her life without the ones she loved, the ones who loved her back. Waking up in the mornings with no master for her teachings.

Hunting without her escorts, sleeping without a single goodnight from her two older sisters. Hiromi's life was to change right here... right now. For three months she struggled but now she knew that all changes would happen here and now. She had to come clean to start all over. Forget about being courted to her now dead soon to be mate. Forget the painful screams that haunt her. And focus on the task at hand. To forget... to just burry all the things that hurt her, the only nightmare she'll always see and remember will just... disappear.

Hiromi turned only her head to look over her shoulder. She looked at the path she took to get to the lake. Just beyond those bushes... down that very path is her new mission her task... lifelong task. All four of them sleeping, all four depending on her. She knew what had to be done. Without taking the time to hold her breath Hiromi ducked under the water.

The dirt will be washed away, laughing, smiling, feeling warm... it'll all be washed there is not a reason to smile anymore... there is not a reason to smile or laugh. Now there is only concentrating on the last spark of light she had. And once they are gone... she'll be a nothing and can die to be with the ones she cares for again.

Morning came all too soon. Matsu blinked a few times before looking around; the brush came as one green blur. But as his eyes adjusted he noticed that Hiromi was missing. Careful as to not wake the others he hurried into the woods. Using his sensitive nose to find her. "Hiromi," he all but called.

Hiromi heard him but didn't want to move. She felt so sick and tiered... it felt good to lay on the log that was half way on the dry bank and half way in the water. 'I just want to sleep forever.' She said mentally but as the heartbeat of her brother quickened she knew it was time to reveal her newborn self.

Matsu looked frantically around "Hiromi, where are you." A branch snapped and Matsu snapped around with a gasp. He was relieved to find his tall beautiful sister standing in front of him. "Geez Hiromi don't scare me like that." Hiromi looked in the direction the others were and began walking. Matsu followed in pursuit "Everyone is sleeping, are we going to wake them up?" Hiromi didn't say anything as she gracefully stepped out into the clearing where all four of the children slept. She looked down at each of them and then swiftly walked over to sleeping Namie, Hiromi's identical little sister. Tucked in a blue blanket under cradled in Namie's right arm was baby Hogai, Hiromi's brother.

Hiromi tilted her head to the side in awe. She loved looking at Hogai sleeping he looked so peaceful. Hiromi leaned down careful as to not wake Namie then gently pried the sleeping babe away from her. Every morning Hiromi would take Hogai with her on her hunt. To care for him, if he didn't get the attention every baby needs he'll cry and wake the others. Hiromi cuddled the baby in her arms then turned to face Matsu... "Keep things quite here." Matsu nodded and watched as his beloved sister walked into the woods still holding Hogai.

Hiromi stared down at baby Hogai. He was seven months old and absolutely adorable. He has short silky black hair and no youkai markings... which meant he wasn't going to be a lord. That was fine though... he will make a fine hunter or guard one of these days. Matsu doesn't have a moon print on his forehead but he does have the dog youkai stripes on his wrist, ankles, and the sides of his neck. Which means he is not dominant but he does come from a strong bloodline such as Hiromi, Arisa, Hiromi's baby sister who is two years old doesn't has dog youkai stripes nor moon print, and either does Namie.

Hiromi sighed; this is why she must take care of them. None of them hold the dominant blood of a taiyoukai which means they'll need protection and to be taught how defend themselves until they're old enough to be on there own. Hunting like this every morning with Hogai was one of the usual things that was on Hiromi's 'to do' list. Hogai every now and then would cry and scare away Hiromi's prey but she had to deal with moments like that, she couldn't leave a baby with her siblings by themselves... Namie shouldn't have to deal with him.

Once cornering Hiromi's prey she'd often place Hogai down under a brush or in a bed of grass while she ran. If the prey runs too far away Hiromi lets it go so she can go back to Hogai... she hates to leave him alone.

"Stop it!" Namie cried as Matsu splashed her. Matsu laughed and waited for her to lean down again. Every time she made an attempt to wash her face Matsu splashed her again and again. She growled and bared her under developed fangs at him, she'd move around the bank away from him but he would still continue to somehow annoy her. It was as if he was somehow put on this earth to annoy her.

Namie perched herself up on a log, cupped water in her hands and... SMACK... Namie gasped looking down at her reflection she saw mud completely drenching her face and hair. Matsu had guilty written all over his face. The second he threw the mud ball he couldn't help but roll back and laugh. Namie leapt at him with a hiss. She landed on her brother's chest, taking him by surprise. Then snapped down biting hard at the top of his pointy ears. He withered in pain and somehow by miracle managed to kick her off of him. They leapt at one another claws extended, fangs baring.

Little Arisa entertained herself by picking up pinecones and rocks studying them then throwing them. Yep this is the type of morning the siblings shared every day.

Matsu jumped high into the air and landed perfectly in a fighting stance. He and his sister were staring one another down with stoic emotionless masks. Namie studied her prey, her claws extending eagerly. That's when her eyes widened and her mouth gaped... she suddenly became lost of words. "M...m....mat...Matsu" Namie stuttered her eyes fixed on the massive black snake youkai behind her brother. Matsu laughed, "Yeah that's right, you better be shaking with fear 'cause when I'm done with you you'll run off with your tail between your legs!" Namie's knees began knocking together. "M...m...MATSU!" Namie extended her arm forward and ran towards him as if planning to grab him in her hand and throw him far over the trees. Matsu slumped out of his fighting stance and cocked his head to one side in confusion. "huh?" he watched as his sister ran toward him tears falling from the corners of her eyes. "Tears?" Matsu whispered. That's when everything went black... so fast too fast... not enough time for Matsu to process what had just happened.

Next chapter will be longer and better... this is the first time I wrote in English... so flaming me about grammar and spelling will be pointless. But I don't mind flames, ice, cookies, donuts, blah... blah... at all.

PLEASE ask questions if you have any and I WILL answer so yeah... see ya next chapter. I made this fanfic my own but I promise it has to do with Inuyasha characters to... so don't worry, I just wanted to introduce MY characters first.
