Hi, I'm Katerina9978. And, I love the Sesshomaru/Kikyo pairing and think it is terrible how few stories there are that are complete and those that aren't complete haven't been updated in forever. But, don't worry I'm not gonna leave you, and I already have a few more chapters ready. I'll try to update each week, but my chapters may be kinda short because I'm not good at writing long ones, but I promise to try to make them longer. They'll probably be varying sizes because I've already got a plan for this story and when I feel there's a good stopping point in the story, I'll stop. I'm not sure how many chapters there will be, but I'm pretty sure it will be under 20. A few set 50 years before Inuyasha. A short tidbit on the 50 years that have passed. Then, the rest during the Inuyasha series. And, an epilogue of course. Not sure if it will end in tragedy or happiness. And, I haven't decided if I'm going to have Naraku in this. I may add him as a small part in the first few chapters, but I don't have big plans for him. Yes, most Inuyasha characters will make an appearance. Sorry for the long rant lol, the rest won't be this long.

Disclaimer: I don't Inuyasha or this story would be the reality. (Looking back, I wouldn't make this the reality

Chapter 1:

It was early in the morning and screams could be heard throughout the village. Women ran into the hut. A young girl, about seven years old informed them of her mother's labor.

"I have to ask you to leave, Priest." A young woman said.

"Of course, I'll see you after the labor, honey."

"Yes." The woman breathed out.

"Kikyo, get some towels and a bucket of water." The young woman from before commanded.

Kikyo ran to get a bucket of water and several towels, then ran back into her home and wet a towel. She sat it on her mother's head.

That afternoon was a busy bustle around Kikyo's mother. Then evening came, and men approached Kikyo's father outside bringing news that a small group of demons was attacking and his assistance was needed.

Before he left he called inside, "I do not know when I will return, but when our child is born, name her Kaede."

A short while passed and Kikyo became worried. "I have to go." Kikyo grabbed her bow and arrows and was off.

When she arrived at the battle it was obvious who was winning. What had started as half the men in the village was now about 5 men skillfully hunting the demons and dodging attacks. About 8 demons remained alive and several were dead. She took out her bow and grabbed an arrow. She shot about 10 arrows and only 3 hit demons, but those that did completely disintegrated the demon it hit. The villagers had slain the other five and only Kikyo, her father, and one other man remained.

Suddenly, the ground began to shake, a huge demon appeared from the forest. Kikyo aimed her bow determined to kill the beast. Then, it swung at the 3 of them. "Run!" her father turned and yelled to Kikyo.

Kikyo attempted to move but wasn't quick enough, her bow snapped in half and she flew into a tree. Blood oozed out of her wound, and the demon moved towards her. It raised its claw and Kikyo cowered.

A young boy appeared, about 9 or 10 years old, only a little older than Kikyo. "Move you're in my way." he said calmly.

"What a cocky little kid. I'll kill you and the girl!" the demon roared.

A whip of green light appeared between his fingers, he flicked his wrist and the demon fell, vanquished. "I said to move." he spoke to no one in particular. He looked curiously over to the young girl under the tree who stared back at him in wonder and awe.

Kikyo couldn't believe her eyes, this boy had saved her, even if it wasn't intentional. She took him in, long silver hair, golden eyes, his face cold, but still curious as he looked at her. He wore a white hankimono and hakamas with fur and armor over them, as well as a sash with a single sword inside it. She stared momentarily taking him in before moving her eyes to her father. She knew it was already too late, but for some reason she still moved towards him and shook him, begging him to wake up. Then, everything went black.

Sesshomaru watched the girl, she was obviously a miko, as she wore miko dress, a white haori, and red hakamas. Her haori was stained crimson from blood and he could smell she was still bleeding. They locked eyes for a few moments then her eyes moved to one of the dead men. Her eyes held an immense fear and knowing and he watched as she crawled to the man and begged him to wake up, her father he realized. A pang of sadness and anger hit him as he remembered his father's death, but it was gone as soon as it had come. The girl sat up, then fell, she was unconscious he realized. He thought of leaving her there, but something made him pick her up and move her.

He lay her down and left to get supplies. He returned and dressed her wound. He left once again, this time returning with water and fruit. He lay it beside her then walked away. Why did I do that? He thought to himself. He decided to let it go and continued walking.
