Chapter One-"Memories"

"Forget about me! Save yourself, Kurama!"

"Kuronue!" The name tore from his lips as he watched in stunned horror as his friend and partner being impaled.

He saw red as the culprits came after him. Forgetting the mirror he headed straight for his comrade's assailants.

Centuries Later

Slowly a drifting bright orb began emerging from the bamboo forest, pulsing a bright almost white blue.
The orb stopped as if frozen, a meager moment passed before it shot off into the sky.
Back in the forest lay a sizzling ward wrapped box, sparking unnoticed by any whom passed the sight.

Crying was heard in the bleach white halls of the hospital. Agonizing sobs were enough to make any wince in sympathy.
The owner of those sobs was seventeen-year-old Higurashi, Kun-Loon.

The young teen gripped tightly the hand of her dying lover as she cried over his bloody and battered body.
His ragged and rasped breathing were drowned out by her wails of remorse.

"Please…d-don't leave me! Not like this! I can't do it alone!"
An aged hand landed upon the sobbing woman's shoulder giving it a comforting squeeze.

"Kun-Loon…I am sure he will make it through, the boy is arrogant and too thick in the skull to let this kill him." An aged and fatigued voice stated. The woman seemed to take slight solace in the man's words.
Nodding the teen fallowed her father out of the foreboding building that reeked of ammonia and death.

Kun-Loon stared at the phone in her iron grip with horror. The seemingly harmless object was the equivalent to death knocking on her door asking to have a tea party with her and Satan in hell.
It was the object that brought her the news of her lover's death.
The fake sympathy from death's little messenger hadn't done anything to ease the pain of her loss, instead it had increased her anger and hurt.

She clenched her teeth as the seemingly caring woman called out over the line asking if she was still there.
She slammed the receiver back onto the hook and grabbed the object tearing it out of the wall and threw it across the room getting slight satisfaction out of the large crash she heard. It did nothing to ease the pain but it eased her anger.

It wasn't merely the fake tone that caused her ire it was the underlying pity and the second bout of information that had made her mad.
The woman had thought it would cause some of her pain to ease if she informed her that she was pregnant on top of her lover dying.

Were all people idiots today?
Kun-Loon felt her anger ebb and the pain fully take over.
She drew her knees to her chest and buried her head into them and let her heart mourn.

In sleep, oblivious to the world Kun-Loon tossed and turned, unable to keep her nightmares from plaguing her.
She never noticed the glowing orb enter her womb.

Sixth Months Later

Kun-Loon stared in fascination at the growing bulge of her stomach.
The swell of her womb was maturing rapidly, she had never been pregnant before, but she knew it never went this fast.The shrill of the phone echoed through out the house, causing her to jump to her feet and run to the phone.
yanking the phone off the hook she rasped a greeting into the phone.
She was getting to old for this.

"Hello, is this the Higurashi residence?"
"Yes!" She raped between gulps of air, her pregnancy was draining her of all energy.
"I am Sorry but your father has had a heart attack. He is in the hospital."

Her already raw nerves and mending heart burst. A sudden pain shot down her legs and the feel of liquid pouring down her legs caused her to come back to earth, and pain.

"Holy Shit!" She screamed as the pain once again began.
"Miss? Miss are you alright?" The worried and frantic voice on the other end brought her back to the situation.
"Hell no I ain't okay! Fuck! My water just broke!" Kun-Loon screamed as another searing pain shot through her body.
"Fuck!!!" She screamed.

An ambulance shrilled as it raced down the streets warning any and all to get the hell out of the way.

Kun-Loon stared at the small child in her arms the baby was a scrawny 4 pound 11 ounce baby. She wanted to glare at the new born that slept soundlessly in her arms, but the child was so innocent.
Kun-Loon knew that this beautiful child she cradled so closely to her bosom was the child of her and Eita, the man she so dearly loved.

"Kagome…" She whispered the name to the baby.
She ran her fingers through the soft black hair that covered the child's head.
A smile graced her features for the first time in months.

Kagome gave a brief glance around the clearing before running to the tallest tree she could find.
As of late the young girl couldn't seem to get enough of heights. She grabbed limb after limb climbing the tree with excitement.

A sigh of contentment escaped her lips, a relaxed smile making a home on her lips. The view was breath taking and heights made her feel free.
She loved feeling like she was on top of the world where all her worries couldn't reach her.

Her friends either didn't know of her love of heights or found her absolutely insane for liking being so far from normal people, shopping and ground. She wished she could live in a tree and never come down.

She felt the urge to scream out, but refrained, it would destroy the beautiful peace.

Kagome decided when she was younger she never wanted to be the princess in a fairy tail; she wanted to be the prince.
'I don't want to depend on anyone; I don't need to be saved.' She had said to her mother, but now she was constantly being attacked and saved.
She hated it, but she wouldn't quit.

A sudden roar caused her to jump nearly jumping off the tree.
"Kirara! You nearly caused her to fall!" Sango scolded the fire cat.

"Heh, its okay Sango-chan, it is not her fault." Kagome grasped the offered hand of the taijiya and was promptly pulled onto the fire cat's back.

"I didn't know you liked heights Kagome-chan."

"Yeah, I have loved them for as long as I can remember, when I got upset I would always go to the highest place I could, but it caused my mother to worry about me like crazy."

Sango smiled, it seemed the exterminator and young girl had more in common than first thought.

"Well you are always welcome to ask Kirara for a ride, I am sure her only catch is a good rub and some food."
Kagome nodded.

"I'll be sure to remember that." Kagome stated.

"She might also want you to remember cats are better then dogs." Sango laughed.

"Yeah, but nothing beats my favorite animal." Sango looked at Kagome puzzled.

"What is your favorite animal?" Sango couldn't help the curiosity that showed in her voice.

"Koumori."
Sango nearly let her jaw drop, that had been the last animal she would have ever pinned to be Kagome's favorite.

"If I ever meet a bat youkai Inu Yasha would just have to come last, I like dogs, but they are a bit, thick."

Sango was stunned.
"Don't act so shocked." Kagome giggled at the absolutely stunned expression Sango displayed.

The three landed near the camp smiling, when something caught the demons noses.
"Blood, lost of it and…Naraku..." Inu Yasha growled.
Kagome felt a chill run sown her spine. Something was going to happen that would change the group, for better or worse, she knew not.
