"This way!" A little girl with black hair grazing her shoulders in bouncy waves, called out behind her as she ran around a corner. A hand taking hers and stopping her before she could get too much further.
"No, we'll get caught. I can't handle being caught...lady Medusa will be so angry..." This voice came from a slightly smaller child, with blackened eyes and bright pink hair coming just above his chin.
Blue eyes stared carefully into black, "I can do magic too, Crona...I won't let her catch us! Her snakes have got nothing, on my dogs!"
"Kagome..." he stared at her, she was so certain, so sure of herself. How could she possibly be so confident, when they were only kids?! Up against Medusa, a full fledge witch, who was who-knew how many years old, and strong as Lord Death himself, and if not, she certainly seemed like it to him. "Where do we go?" He gave in, asking the girl he'd been following for the past six days or so.
"We will go exploring! Sight-seeing!" She exclaimed excitedly, taking her knew friends hand and pulling him along the way. "We won't ever be separated, Crona. I promise you, I'll protect you, forever and ever!"
Finding a child hidden away in the shadows of fear and despair, Kagome Higurashi, a renegade witch grand-daughter to the elder witch of the Higher Circle, chose to become fearless at six, taking on the world in a way that only the fearless could. ...how long could she remain fearless though...when the shadows clinging so tightly to her knew friend, continued to follow them everywhere.

"Wake up, Crona!" Kagome smiled, kissing the pink haired boy on the cheek as she woke him from his slumber. Compared to the frightened boy he was so long ago, he had gained a slight backbone...slight...really, only a small one. Kagome laughed when he tried to bat her away. They had slept outside last night, and she had placed twelve of her Light Hounds around the perimeter where they slept. It was about an hour ago when one of them was attacked and killed by none other than a snake, and at nine years old, despite her more than prodigal magical powers, she was still a kid, and Crona still wasn't ready to face the snake witch who he said was his mother. "We have to go, Crona...crazy snake-lady should be getting here in another thirty minutes or so...she killed one of my dogs, and Sesshou retaliated quite defensively. The snake is dead, but she'll no doubt figure out the last known location and track us down from there."
"What?! Then let's go, we need to-" a warm hand took his and a warm arm found his shoulder before pulling him in for a hug.
"We are in this together, Crona, please trust me...no, continue to trust me. For I will always protect you. No matter what, I won't let you be alone, and I'll never let her take you away from me. You are like a brother to me, and as such, I'll keep you, my only family, safe from harms way."
"What if she does somehow get me..."
Kagome smiled, "then I won't rest until I have stolen you back from the Cobra Witch. Now, we really should go. It's not just Medusa who's after us now. Ever since I dropped my soul protect to do off the last swarm of snakes Medusa sent our way, the DWMA has been on our case as well."
How she wished her words be true, and yet knew that someday, they would run into a dead end, and the witch Medusa would no doubt be there waiting for them. Head hunting was all the witch could think of, for her son was the biggest key to the success of whatever deranged plan she'd concocted. Kagome knew that she wanted to protect Crona, but she knew that the far more powerful Cobra Witch would someday grow tired of this game of cat and mouse...and she would strike with venom at her fangs...ready for the kill...

In Death City...they should have been safe...but they weren't. It was present day, the day itself however, was insignificant. Was it a Thursday, or a Friday...Kagome couldn't answer if she'd wanted to. The last two weeks, she and Crona had done nothing but run from Medusa and her snakes, and finally, the witch was above them, and while her snakes were kept at a distance by Kagome's Hounds, she herself was descending on Kagome and Crona rather quickly. "For such an old lady, you sure move like a sprightly little girl."
"Faster then, considering you're so slow."
Kagome growled irritably, "leave us alone, you damn Witch!"
"Was that supposed to insult me? Silly little girl, you could have done so much with your life had you just taken to your studies as you'd been instructed. I heard from the old one-eyed bat that you were the Reincarnation of our Greatest Ancestor, the Lady Midoriko of the Shikon Eye. Yet here, all I see now is a foolish girl, who will die a foolish death." She turned her snake eyes to Crona who was hiding nervously behind Kagome, "Such a cowardly creature, and to think, someone would actually die protecting it? Disgusting...Crona, come here!"
Crona jumped, and made to move fearfully, but Kagome snatched his hand and pulled him back roughly, then with a series of hand motions, she yelled out, "Woof, woof, bow, wow, bow, wow! Woof, woof, bow, bow, bow, wow!"
A shadow moved from behind Kagome, and Medusa took a slow and deliberating step back as her eyes examined her knew adversary. "I see, you aren't completely pathetic...but this won't stop me, and I plan to Crona tonight, so...say goodnight to your dog, brat!"
"SESSHOUMARU, POISON BITE!"
Medusa screamed out as teeth bit down hard on her leg as she'd just barely jumped out of the way of losing her head. "HOW THE HELL CAN YOU DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT!?"
"I told Crona, that no matter what...I WOULD PROTECT HIM...FROM YOU!"
The woman lashed out with two of the snakes from her arms, and while Sesshoumaru had managed to destroy one of them, most likely a decoy, Kagome had faced the wrath of the second, as it had coiled tightly around her neck and constricted mercilessly.
"I'll kill her Crona...if you don't come here, RIGHT NOW...I'll kill her!"
Crona tearfully ran to Medusa and pleaded for the woman to release her. "I'll do anything you say, just let her go, please! I'll never leave your side again, please, Lady Medusa, please!"
"...very well, Crona...for my son...I will let this mild annoyance go free...for now at least." A twisted grin found Medusa's lips as another snake coiled into her hand before she through it towards Kagome's still confined form, "...who knows what may happen later. If you come after Crona...I'll kill you in front of him..." The snake slithered into her mouth and Kagome cried out, thrashing as she tried to get away, but to no avail. "Haha, just in time, your other friends are here to see to you. Good riddance, you annoying mutt."
Kagome felt the snake holding her crippled limbs leave her, and despite that constriction disappearing, she still felt trapped. She was left to the mercy of whoever the DWMA had sent, and yet, all her blurry eyes could see, was the furthering sight of Crona's pink hair fading into the darkness of the shadows, once more.
"...Crona..."
