A young woman in priestess clothes made her way through the village, followed closely by a small boy. The boy, no older than five, walked very close to her, trying his best to avoid the glares of the villagers around them. The woman didn't seem to notice however, and merely continued to walk silently.

One of the villagers, finally having enough of whatever it was that was bothering him, yelled, "Begone, demon!"

As if this was their cue, all of the villagers immediately started throwing rocks at the two walking, and the boy cowered closer to the woman.

None of them made contact however, as they all hit a barrier projected by the priestess. The villagers, immediately angered, began yelling at her.

"How dare you protect that filth!"

"What kind of priestess are you!?! Protecting a demon!"

"Move out of the way, wench!"

"That half breed deserves to die!"

The priestess, immediately angered, sent out a mighty aura, instantly shutting all of the villagers' mouths.

"If anyone lays a hand on Jiko, you will pay dearly." With that said, the two continued on their path towards the headman's house, followed by many glares.

"What do you want, priestess? Why have you brought this pathetic half breed filth into my village?"

With a suppressed growl, the priestess answered the headman's questions. "This 'half breed' is my son, so do not insult him."

The headman, now partially appalled, partially curious, continued, "Why have you come here, priestess?"

"I merely wish to reside in this village for a short time. If I am allowed to stay, I will serve as your village priestess. My powers are strong, and my medicines can bring back even those an inch from death."

The headman, now interested, thought for a minute. "You may stay as long as your residence is only temporary. But . . . I would like to know the name of our new priestess."

The woman bowed in thanks. "My name . . . is Kagome . . ."

Okay people, this is only a prologue. That is why it's short. I just wanna see how people like the idea. It's been bugging me for so long that I've decided to screw the only two at a time idea and just go for it! Review telling me whether you like it or not!
