Long ago in ancient Japan, there lived a woman who gave birth to twin baby girls, Kagome and Kikyo. "My dear children," The mother smiled and cuddled her daughters. "I fear that you will both be in great danger very soon." "You're highness, we shall ensure that the children are kept safe." "Hm...I apprieciate your loyalty, but what is going to happen will happen, whether we like it or not." "How can it be prevented?" "It cannot." "This is terrible!" "Indeed, Kara, it is, but we must not let this get us down, fore things will be just fine." "What about the children?" "Dear friends, things will be fine, in the future." "Hm..." "For now, let us celebrate the birth of these two angels..."
"Beg pardon, your highness," "Yes, Naraku, please come in." A man with an evil pressesnce entered the room. "These are the twins, my friend, Kagome and Kikyo." "Hm..." The door opened again.
"Empress! Empress!" "What is it?" "Ha...ha...demons...attacking the North gate!" "Oh dear!" "Your highness, allow me to guard the maidens," "Of course...hurry, show me where they are attacking!" "Right this way." The woman left the room, leaving the evil looking man, Naraku with the twins. "Hm...that was easy enough." He reached and lifted Kikyo to his face, "Hm...by the time your mother returns, we shall have fled into the night, isn't that right Kagome?" He now held both and attemped to dash away with them.
"Hold it right there Naraku!" "Hm? Ah, Miyatsu, should you not be helping her magesty?" "I am to protect the princesses from danger!" "I see, well, so am I, the palace is far too dangerous for the babes," "You will go no where with them!" "Au contrare, fore I am Naraku, and I will do as I please! Now die!" The attack flew at the monk.
It pirced his hand stright through, "Argh!" "Heh, heh, heh! That curse will not go away or be lifted until I Naraku have been killed. It will carry on through your family, to your son, then to his son and so on, until the very last of your family have been killed." "Wretched bastard!" "Ha, ha, ha! Farewell monk! What!" "Naraku! Release the children!" Shouted a woman who stood before him and the door.
"Lady Kara, I also bid you farewell...Argh! Who the hell was that!" He searched around, then noticed that one of the children was gone. "Shit!" He looked to see where the other child had disappeared to, but found no one and nothing. "Argh! I will have both girls! Mark my words!" He vanished with one of the children into the night.
"Miyatsu! Are you alright!" "It's nothing that will kill me...yet, the children! Where are the girls!" "Naraku got away with one, and the other has disappeared...halt!" Kara stood as a figure stood in the doorway.
"State your name! Are you human or demon!" "Both," "Both?" A boy came into the room, carrying a little bundle. "I am both human and demon," "A hanyou! I thought they were myths!" "There were many at one time, Kara, and it appears that we owe this young one a great deal of thanks." "Hm? Oh!" "Here," Kara now held one of the children, "My word! Thank you young man! You have done a great deed here." "Wasn't just me...my big brother helped to, he's much faster then I am." "Another hanyou?" The boy shook his head, "No, big brother is a full demon." "A demon helped us humans! Why!" "Kara, it is best not to ask, and just be thankful that the child is safe, again thank you."
Suddenly Kara realized something, "Sunali! Where is Empress Sunali!" They headed out to find their friend and empress, "Young one, what is your name?" "Inuyasha sir," "Inuyasha, would you guard this child for us until we return?" The boy nodded and the two headed out. "I guess it's just you and me now...hm...what'd they name you?" There was a tiny necklace around the child's neck that read, Kagome. "Hm? Ka go me, Kagome." The child started giggling and laughing as the boy looked at her, "You're a happy one...hm? Hey! Not the ears!" She latched onto the ears and would not let go. "Man, this may not have been a good idea."
*************************************************
"Sunali!" "Lady Sunali!" Kara and Miyatsu hurried to try and find their friend. "Sunali! Where are you!" "This is terrible! If we can't find Sunali...what will happen to the child?" "Calm yourself, Kara, we will find Sunali." "I hope your right Miyatsu."
Not far from where her friends were searching for her, the empress, Sunali was trying to get back to her palace and her babies. She'd been wounded and was hardly able to walk,but she had to get to her girls, she had to see her babies. "I'll get to you no matter what." She heard a noise behind her. "Sunali," "Hm? Naraku! Thank goodness! I have to get back to the palace, you'll assist me wont you?" "Hm...no." "What...Naraku..." "Sunali, you are nieve, to think that I would help you, after all the demon attack was due to me in the first place, and all to get the children," "My...where are they! Where are my daughters!" "You will never ever know, DIE!" Just as Kara and Miyatsu were getting to where Sunali was, they watched in horror as Sunali was dissolved by Naraku's miazma.
"SUNALI!!" They shouted and attacked the evil that had just killed their friend. "You filthy creature!" "How dare you do such a thing!" "Where are the children!" "Like Sunali, you will never know. DIE!" "Ahh! Miyatsu!" "Kara!" "You may join Sunali in the after life, farewell, oh and as for the child, she will become the ruler of hell." "No...Miyatsu..." "Kara...this is good-bye." They were dissolved as well, "Take care of the child, Inuyasha." Was all that Naraku heard the monk say as he disappeared. "So, Inuyasha, whoever you are, you have my child do you? not for long."
"When are they going to come for you?" Inuyasha asked the infant, half expecting her to say something. "Hm...maybe they aren't coming back..." He looked at the now sleeping girl, "Hm..." Just then the door to the room flew open.
"Why do you still have that child? Inuyasha" "The humans went to find someone, they said they'd be back, and asked me to guard her," "All the humans, other then a few children have been slain," "Then what do I do with Kagome?" "Kagome?" "The baby's name is Kagome." "Leave her here, the humans who still live will care for her...did you not hear what I...hm...get down." Inuyasha hid, the still sleeping kid, as his elder brother stood between him and the enemy at the door.
"Are you Inuyasha?" "Who's asking?" "Me, and I'd like the child if you would hand her over," "She yours?" "Not yet," "Then beat it!" "Or what? You'll kill me? Heh! Fat chance! If that slayer, the monk and the girl's mother couldn't kill me, what makes you think you can?" "Cause I'm a demon, and you are not...not a full demon that is." "Good observation...hm...ah, so you must be Inuyasha," Inuyasha backed away and jumped out the window and ran, sleeping little girl in his arms.
"Dang brat! Hm? Until next time, Sesshoumaru." Naraku disappeared as the palace caught fire and burned to the ground.
*************************************************
The twin daughters were never seen again and the legend was that Kikyo kidnapped by the evil Naraku became the maiden of hell and Kagome the child saved by the hanyou Inuyasha became the maiden of heaven. Naraku himself went into hiding, laying in wait until the maiden of the heavens fell into his hands.
