A/N: For those of you who don't know yet, "Kira" starts around the time
when Kouga kidnaps Kagome. I will write a prologue later on, when I have
the time to do so. Be patient, people! ^__^

Kira
~*~
Her name was Kira.
Her goal? To rid the world of all evil. It was this evil that resided in many youkai. It was this evil that had killed her family.
Kira was from the modern world.
One day, Kira had come home from school calling, "Hey, Mom! I'm home!" only to find that her mother, father, and younger brother lay unmoving on the floor. As she neared, she saw a little hole bored into their skulls, with a little dribble of blood coming out of them.
They were dead.
Kira just sat there and grieved. But she wasn't the pathetic kind who just drop into their own little world inside an asylum for crazy people. No, she vowed to seek out her family's murderer right then and there. Then, she noticed a faint phosphorous kind of trail that glowed greenish going down the hall and through the door. She followed it until she came to a shrine. Apparently, no one was home, so she went in, following the trail until she came to an ancient, old well. The trail stopped here. She vowed again to herself that she would devote her entire life over the next year to studying weaponry and martial arts so that she could come back and rid the world of the thing that killed her parents and younger brother.
~*~
One year later, Kira came back, almost a master at fighting and weapons. She went back to the shrine and found the people who lived there to be a small obstacle. True, you don't really ever let some complete stranger into your house, armed with weapons and claiming to be after something. Until Kira said, "Please. Let me go into your well. Something that killed my only family went down there and I vowed to have vengeance for them." Suddenly, an old man pushed past the woman who answered the door.
"Eh? Did you say that something killed your family and went down the Bone- eater's Well?" he asked.
"Um, yes, I did," Kira replied. "Go on, then. You may go through the well."
Kira bowed. "Arigatou. You have no idea how much this means to me," she said.
The woman protested.
"Father! Why are you letting her?"
"It is obvious a youkai killed her family. Perhaps she could meet up with Kagome and help them," the old man said.
Kira wasn't really listening, but she heard the word, "youkai".
"Did you say youkai?"
"Yes, I did, youngling. That well is a passageway for all sorts of them."
"I will be more alert. Arigatou," she said.
The old man just shooed her off. She walked down the passageway to the Bone-eater's Well. When she got there, she took a deep breath and jumped in, feeling as if she passed through some sort of barrier.
She hadn't realized she was holding her breath until she felt herself running out of air. Slowly, she breathed in and out. In and out.
Kira scaled the well wall easily and hopped out. What she saw before her was not an old well house, but a huge forest with a gigantic tree popping up out of the top of it.
"Here we go," she thought, as she headed out into the unknown.
~*~
There we go! All done! Note: There MIGHT be a couple extra chapters soon on Kira's year of weapons training and on when her family died. There might be. No guarantees. ^__^ Gomen! I know that this chapter was REALLY short, but that's just they way things are! The rest will be longer! I promise!
