(Hey all, I have another story to put up. This one isn't along the original story line but I kidnapped the characters and placed them in here. I hope you like it.)

(Just make things clear, in my story, the Western Lands have been divided into separate tribes of different type of youkais. There are two kinds of Inu youkai, the Silver Inu youkais and the Golden Inu youkais. The Silver Inu youkai tribe rule over a fairly large portion of the Western Land, about 45 percent. The Golden Inu youkai tribe own about 35 percent, while other tribes control the remaining 20 percent. Naraku owns the neighboring lands north of the Western Lands. I hope this will help. Now onto the story.)

Chapter 1: Prologue

Deep in the forest of the Western Lands lived a very powerful tribe of Golden Inu youkais. When not out fighting, they lived a very comfortable, normal life. Some even settled down and had children, but were prepared for battle when called upon. Everyone in the tribe helped during the battle, especially the lord and lady of the tribe. The Lady of the tribe was a unique youkai, for she was the Guardian of the Sacred Shikon No Tama. She helped out a lot, even when at time her husband told her to stay. She wouldn't listen and said, "They're my people too and I want to make sure they get through this." The Lord had a hard time arguing with her, so he let her help. Then the Lord restricted the Lady from fighting when he found out that she was pregnant. She hated knowing she couldn't help, but she knew that it was for the good of the baby. The Lady then gave birth to a beautiful baby girl a few weeks later. The tribe celebrated with the news of the new heiress. The Lord place around the baby's neck a metal sun necklace that had her given name carved on it. "Kagome, my beautiful Kagome."

One day, the proud new parents were walking through the village with Kagome, who was laughing and smiling in the Lady's arms. They had reached the edge of the village and they both looked at beautiful she was. Just then, a bell rang out alerting the tribe that there were intruders approaching. The Lord looked at his wife and said, "Go back to the house." She shook her head and said, "No, I'm going to help. Kagome will be safe with her barrier." (Note: Kagome has been able to put up her own barrier ever since she was two weeks old and now she's a month old.) The Lord sighed and said, "This isn't a good idea." The Lady placed Kagome in the bushes, kissed her forehead, and then she placed her hands over her eyes and said, "Kagome, bad people." Immediately, Kagome closed her eyes and erected a barrier around herself. She opened them and saw her mother stand back up. The Lady looked back at her husband and said, "Don't worry, she will be safe. And you can't change my mind, I'm helping." The Lord sighed and then the two went off to fight off the intruders. Two hours went by, but the Lord and Lady never returned to Kagome.

A bit away from the tribe, a pack of wolves was heading back to their den when they caught a whiff of blood. One of the wolves called up to their leader named Mira, "'Mira, you smell that? Fresh blood. Should we check it out?'" A big, brown female wolf stopped and turned around and nodded. So the pack turned and headed toward the smell of the blood.

When they reached the tribe, there were blood and bodies everywhere. Mira looked at everyone in the pack and said, '"Search the place and look for survivors. Do not hurt them if find any. Understood?'" The pack nodded their heads and then spread out and began searching. Mira was the last to start searching when a sound came to her ears. She followed the sound through the village until she came to bush at edge of the village. She saw a faint light blue barrier around the bush.

Mira went around the bush to a hole and looked in. She saw a little inu youkai baby, who was a bit fussy. Then the baby turned her head to Mira and starred at her for a bit. The baby turned it's headed a bit and then smiled and giggled. Mira then noticed that the barrier had gone down, so she slowly moved closer. Mira gave the baby a small lick on the cheek and then looked at her again. She told herself that she couldn't leave this baby here alone, so she very gently gathered up the blanket around the infant and then carefully picked the baby up in her mouth and headed back to where they had arrived.

The other members of the pack came back to her and reported that there weren't any survivors. Mira gently put the baby down and said, "'Well, then this little one will come with us. Since there's no one to care for her, we will.'" No one dared to question her, so they also agreed to take care of the baby. Then one of the wolves came up to Mira and placed next to the baby a small lavender sphere and said, "'This was found around the neck of a female that smells like the baby. We should keep it until she is ready to have it back.'" Mira nodded in agreement, so the wolf picked the jewel back up while Mira carefully picked the baby back up in her mouth. The pack then left the village and headed home. A man came out from behind a tree and watched the wolves leave with the last of the Golden Inu youkais. 'Those damn demons missed one youkai. I guess that means it's time for plan B.' He disappeared from the deserted village and headed deep into the Western Lands.

10 years later

A spunky little inu youkai jumped up onto a rock and looked out over the valley. Mira caught up to her and sat down next to the rock the little inu youkai was on. "'Look at the view, Momma'". The little youkai had long dark, dark brown hair that looked almost black hair that blew in the wind. She turned her head and smiled at Mira. She had sparkling gray eyes that looked silver, two pale gold stripes on each cheek, and a small gold sun on her forehead and both her sun and stripes stood out a bit against her pale skin.

Mira smiled and said, "'Kagome, how can one little girl have so much energy?'" Kagome jumped down off the rock and hugged Mira and said, I don't know. Kagome then, still hugging Mira, went to her knees and said, "'Momma, why am I so different from the family?'" Mira sighed, trying to think of what to say to her. She then said, "'You're not different, you're special. And no one treats you differently, do they?'" "'No, but I look different from them.'" Mira licked Kagome's head and said, "'The family loves you and we don't want anything to change. Now let's go home.'" Kagome smiled and jumped up and climbed onto Mira's back and then Mira took off toward the den.

Well, that the end of this chapter. I hope you liked it and I will try to post the next chapter ASAP. Don't forget to review.
