Chapter 1

Missy was simply eight years old when her youkai family was murdered. Since then she lived in a forest feeding off wild fruits, because she was still young and had no idea how to hunt. It was pure luck that she was alive and hadn't been taken as pet for another youkai…

She lived in a small cave by the riverside and spent the day walking around the forest searching for food. However, it was winter and the trees were bare. She was starving and had lost all the weight she had gained in the long summer months. If the weather kept up this cruelty she would die soon, because in addition to the food problem it was snowing, and the only thing Missy had to keep her warm was her tail, and seeing as she only had one and it small for her age it couldn't do her much good.

However, she kept her hopes up and walked through the forest collecting the last of the berries off the tree branches, the snow high enough that it made walking difficult. She stopped when she saw something shinning on the ground, something silvery white. Missy crept closer and saw a big demon lying on the frozen snow, completely covered by the blanket of white. He had long silver hair and big fox ears just like her! Peeking out from under the snow she could see his tails, all four of them!!

She moved closer and saw the reason why he was lying on the cold ground. He had a huge wound on his chest, staining the snow that covered him and lay under him red. She leaned over him looking into his face, and at that moment his eyes opened faintly and she was able to see their golden hue

"Help me" he implored her, his voice rasping out in an almost an undetectable whisper.

Missy let the berries she had collected fall from her skirt deciding she would help the youkai. After all he seemed nice and he had asked her for help. Her mother had always told her to help those in need, as long as they were good. This weird man with the gentle voice couldn't be so bad.

Missy placed her small hands over the hole the youkai had in his chest slowly feeling the healing process begin...

After she was done healing his wound she felt exhausted, but he youkai still didn't wake up. She grimaced at the thought of pulling him all the way to her cave to protect him from the falling snow. She couldn't help but hope he wasn't as heavy as he looked…
