Chapter 1: First glimpse of the demon

"You are no longer welcome here Kagome, the temple is for people to worship not to be scared away by your hideous form. Leave." A Miko said, drawing an arrow in a bow. She pointed it at the creature that cowered before her, dressed as a Miko herself. The girl was not, however, human in a sense that she was covered in red/gold scales, had massive leather wings sprouted from her delicate back, and a long whip-like tail that ended in a blade that curled like a scythe, she was a mutant.

"But. Hikari.. Where am I to go?" the girl mrewled back and the older Miko folded her arms.

"I have heard rumors of a place in America, where freaks such as yourself are with your own kind. Go there for all I care." Was the dark reply, and she watched as the dragon-girl spread her wings and took to the sky, flying to the Pacific Ocean, knowing not what to do.

~At the Xavier Institute~

"What have you found Professor." A dark haired boy asks, sunglasses shading his eyes.
"A girl, Scott. She's heading this way in a very particular way. I want you, Jean, and Kurt to intercept her at Hawaii and bring her here before Magneto finds out about her." The man in a wheelchair responded, Scott nodded and motioned that they should go.
"What do you think the Professor means by 'in a particular way'?" Kurt asked the two older mutants, "And why did he want just me to go with you?" he finished, walking on all fours.
"I don't know. maybe she's swimming?" Jean said, shrugging her shoulders.
"Well. We'll soon find out." Scott said, sending the Nightwing into the sky.

~Meanwhile over Hawaii~

The winged mutant girl landed on a deserted beach and sat with her knees pulled to her chest, her tail around her protectively. A tear slid along her scaled cheek and she rested her head on her knees.
"Well well, what have we here? A mutant on MY Island? I don't think so." A deep male voice said from behind her. Kagome turned her head, her blue eyes wide with surprise. She saw a man standing there, in his hand was a long spear. "No mutant comes to my Island and lives. Prepare to die, freak." He hissed and Kagome dug her three-fingered hand into the sand, scrambling to get up so she could take flight. So far, she was only making herself fall quicker.
"Please." She said, her English quite bad and hard to understand, "Please do not hurt me. Please." She pled, beating her wings hopelessly in an attempt to get away from the man before her. As if he did not hear her, the man strode towards the girl a grin on his face as he noticed the look of fear on the mutant. "PLEASE!" she cried as the spear was raised above his head. She closed her eyes and shielded herself with her wings.
"Don't touch her." A voice said, a German accent heavy. Kagome looked up to see a mutant much like herself, furred in blue, standing in front of her, by his side was a woman with fiery red hair and a man with a visor over his eyes. The furred one turned to her and held out his hand. "Come on, we will help you." He said and slowly Kagome took his hand. He pulled her up and noticed her giant, leathery wings. "So that is what the Professor meant." He said in awe, "Follow me, I'll get you to safety." he started but crumpled to the ground as the blunt end of the spear struck him in the head. Kagome looked fearful for a moment, and then realized that she had to trust these. people.

"Get. back." She said softly to the two older mutants and they stepped from her way. She closed her eyes, concentrating, and then fire erupted from her mouth, speeding at the attacker. She turned to the other two while the man was preoccupied; she picked up the furred one and spread her wings. "Show me the way." She said, flapping them and taking to the sky. The other two ran to a grand plane, and turned towards America. Kagome soared by the cockpit, the furred boy in her arms. Her wings flapped occasionally but she mostly just soared. They soon started down towards a massive mansion; she followed the plane through a waterfall, shielding the one in her arms by spreading her wings wide.
"Where are we?" Kagome asked, still holding the one in his arms who had shielded her from her assailant. A large group had appeared and Kagome looked at them, fear showing in her eyes. The group merely smiled at her. "Um.. Konnichiwa." She said faintly, setting Kurt on the floor then sitting, her tail wrapped around her.

"Man. I feel like I was hit by a truck." Kurt said, waking and rubbing his head. He sat up and looked at the group. "Oh, hey guys. Where is the girl?" he asked and they pointed behind him. He turned his head and smiled at her. "Guten tag. I'm Kurt, who are you?" he asked.

"I... I am Kagome." She said, trying her hardest to speak clearly in English. "Is this the place where mutants are. we...wel... welcome?" she asked quietly as the man in wheelchair walked forward.

"Welcome Kagome. I am Professor Xavier." He said, "Welcome to the Xavier Institute."
