AN: Hiya! This is a story about Kagome and InuYasha. Just thought I'd clear this up, Kouga and InuYasha are cousins, they're all eighteen when the flashbacks stop and please R&R. And I also blanked the names out but I'm sure you can guess who they are in the first flashback. ^,~ Disclaimer: I don't own any of the InuYasha character sadly.

Chapter One Memories Not Forgotten ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Flash Back~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Mama!" A young girl cried. "Mama where are you? Mama!" The young girl was running around franticly trying to find her mother. The village she lived in was under attack. Men and demons were chasing villagers and killing them. "Well aren't you a cute little thing." A demon with knee-length white hair said. She noticed that he had a half moon crescent on his forehead. "Kagome!" The little girl named Kagome turned around and saw her father. The demon looked at him and smiled. In one leap he was beside him. The demon raised his hand and brought it down. Blood splattered everywhere as Kagome screamed. "Heh, pathetic human." The demon snarled. "Sessh_____ c'mon!" A younger demon about Kagome's age said. "Coming little brother." He said. "Sessh____!" A human said. Kagome recognized him as the village blacksmith. "Lets go! There's no one else here but her." He pointed to Kagome. "Okay, come _________" The demon said. Kagome turned around and just caught the smaller demon jumping out of sight. He had white hair down to his waist and was wearing all red. Suddenly, she heard someone behind her. She turned around and saw the blacksmith holding a piece of wood high over his head. "I've always wanted to do this." He said bringing the piece of wood down over her head. Kagome blacked out immediately. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~End of Flashback~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kagome sighed as she remembered that horrible night. She watched those men and demons kill her family and couldn't do nothing about it. She was only five at the time and that memory haunted her for thirteen years. "C'mon toots." A guard said. Kagome was in a small bedroom and was being auctioned off to be someone's slave. She remembered how she got to be there quite well since it happened couple months ago. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Another Flashback~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (AN Kagome's thirteen now) Kagome was now working-happily-as a slave to an old nice couple. They were very nice and treated her as if she was their daughter. One day, the old lady died from a heart attack. Kagome and the old man were devastated. But, they carried on with their lives. Then, when Kagome just turned eighteen, the old man died. In his will he said that Kagome was to be sold off to the highest bidder. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~End Flashback~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kagome grumbled a 'coming' and followed the guard out into the village square.
