The air smelled of smoke. Night had long since fallen and a shallow breeze blew through the rubble.
Tears stung at her eyes. Why had she done it? Why had she brought such trouble to her people?
"R-run away...Kagome. Please, start a new life somewhere you can be happy." The man she held in her lap began to cough furiously.
"No, you'll make it. You have to. I love you." She said pulling him closer.
The young man smiled. "I love you too Kagome, but you have to move on."
"But all of this was my fault."
There was no response. She looked down at the man's handsome face. There was a small smile tugging at his lips, but he gave a blank stare. She looked back at the village. Survivors were already beginning to recover.
She gently laid the man on the ground and stood. If she didn't leave they would surely kill her.
Three Years Later
"Sesshomaru I will not allow it! You are too valuable. If you die only Inuyasha will remain to take over the thrown and he is much too young." Inutaisho said to his son.
"Our troops need help. They can not continue as they are. They need a stronger leader to be out on the battle grounds with them!" Sesshomaru said banging his fists on his father's desk.
"And they will have one. Tomorrow I ride out to meet our enemies."
Sesshomaru kept his cold stare but the surprise was evident by the look in his eyes.
"You want to keep the youkai valuable to this kingdom alive yet you the king are going to go out yourself? Your life is much more valuable than my own."
"Sorry son, but to me it's not. If I shall fail I will need someone with strong composure and will power to continue. I would not be able to do so if I lost my son."
"I see I will not convince you to change your mind, but I do not agree with your decision."
Sesshomaru rose to his feet. And left his father quarters.

She held on tightly to the reins. She could only hear the sound of the whistling wind and the fall of her steeds hooves hitting the hard ground.
Kagome wasn't sure where she would go now. She was a traveling priestess now as no place felt like home to her anymore. She couldn't bear to stay in one place for too long.
Shadow Fangs, her solid black mare, stopped in her tracks.
"What's wrong girl?" Kagome whispered to her only family.
Sliding off quietly, she listened closely to the sounds carried by the wind. The familiar sound of swords clanking reached her sharp ears.
Kagome signaled Shadow to sink in to the shadows while she investigated.
She walked north and the sound grew stronger. She could hear two male voices and the screaming of a woman.
"Please don't hurt my husband!" She screamed.
"You should have thought about that before you turned me down! Whore!"
The woman began to cry. Kagome kneeled behind a bush and watched as a muscular man charged at a much frailer man.
It was obvious the smaller of the two was the husband and it was obvious that he had little skill with the sword.
Kagome stepped out into the clearing. Both men stopped and looked at her.
"Hmm, you and your husband might just make it out this time. This wench here is much finer."
Kagome crinkled her nose in disgust as the man approached her. She mouthed 'run' to the peasant couple and they didn't hesitate to do so.
"So this is what this land has come to? A fine warrior lowering himself to attacking men and woman for sport?"
"Feisty aren't you? Just the way I like them."
Kagome rolled her eyes as the man charged at her. She reached to pull out her sword and realized she had left it with Shadow as she hadn't expected to be stopping.
"Ah, forget you weapon? Good, women aren't supposed to carry them anyway. It's unlady-like."
The man reached her and Kagome tried to defend herself but without a weapon she was easily over powered.
The man straddled himself over her. Kagome thought she was doomed until she heard the familiar sound of horse's coming their way. The man looked up.
He was thrown off her and she quickly jumped to her feet.
She saw the man was unconscious as he had apparently been thrown into a tree. Kagome looked up at the rider. It was obvious he was a youkai. He had long, silver hair and amber colored eyes. She could see nothing else. His face was covered by his black helmet.
"Ah, a knight sent to rescue a damsel in distress?" She mocked.
"No, a man that just happened to ride upon a foolish human woman that thought she could defeat a much stronger man." He answered coolly.
A chill ran down Kagome's back but she ignored it. "Humph, I had it under control."
"Right." The rider answered riding off into the forest.
Kagome whistled to Shadow. Maybe he had been a knight, but she didn't believe it. He had been different than any knight, but it was also obvious he wasn't just some villager.
Kagome mounted her mare. It had been so long since she felt curious and she would not let the chance to discover something new pass her by. She had promised to move on.
