The Demon and the Priestess

Chapter 1

"Stop Naraku!" the girl tried to get out as her friend continued to tickle her.

"Not until you admit that I'm the greatest most bestest person ever in the universe!"

"Never!" she squealed and pounced him backwards onto the ground.

"Oh, you're going to get it now!" he playfully threatened.

"You'd have to catch me first!" she jumped up and started running around the garden.

Mean while……

Inside the castle the two children's guardians watched as Naraku succeeded in catching the girl.

Kagome's mother sighed.

"What's wrong?" the man asked.

"Look at them. They're so happy with each other."

"Now, we knew that the day would come eventually. It has to stop sooner than later," he said. Even though he acted tough he was actually sad about taking his son's friend away from him. There wasn't anything he could really do anyways.

"I don't know how Kagome's going to take it. That's a lie. I do know. She'll cry and cry until there's no more tears in her body, and then I'll cry for her," Jade, Kagome's mom, said.

"Come now, we both knew that it was a mistake from the first day," he said, trying more to reassure himself than her.

Flashback

"Wait here Naraku. I'm going to go wait for Onigumo," Kono told the boy as he placed him on the bench in the park.

"He's probably waiting for you!" Naraku smarted back to the man .

"Waaaaaaa!" was the cry that came from the little boy's right side.

"Hey!" he started out in a mean voice but when he saw the pretty little girl who was crying his voice softened. "Why are you crying?"

Sniffling the girl pointed to a group of demon boys who were making faces at her and then showing her a doll. "Th-they-to-o-ok my dolly!" she whined. She put her head down and continued crying.

For some reason he didn't like seeing this girl cry. He went over to the boys and said, "You better give that doll back and apologize to her."

"Or what? You going to hurt us?" one of the boys, who looked like a tiger, taunted.

Naraku's fist was in his face five times before the boy hit the ground. "Dang right I am. Now apologize and give the doll back!" he hissed at them. Needless to say the boy gave the doll back and apologized.

Naraku sat back down on the bench and the girl sat next to him. "Thanks for getting my doll back for me," she said.

"I didn't get it back for you. I was just tired of your pathetic whining. It was hurting my ears," Naraku said, looking away.

"Wow, you're hairs so long!" the little girl said and started to ruin her fingers through it.

Naraku froze. No one touched him.

"Kagome, I've got your ice--" Jade started.

"You were right Naraku, your brother was--" Kono began.

But when they saw the two kids together they both stopped.

"Look mommy! He has longer hair than me!" Kagome turned around and told her mother.

Naraku was giving her a death glare that she obviously wasn't getting.

"Kagome! Stop that right now and come here!" her mother chastised.

"Look Kono, I made a new friend." Naraku said to his father while trying to push the girls hand away.

"Yes, it seems you did," his father said when the girl did not stop petting his son.

"Kagome!"

"Oh, sorry."

"Is that your name? Kagome?" Naraku asked. He thought that it was a pretty name.

"Yes."

"Would you like to come over and play tomorrow Kagome?"

"Ya!"

"Can she dad?"

"Can I mom?"

The two adults looked at each other, not sure what to say. It wasn't normal for demons and humans to associate with each other, but the children didn't know any better.

Finally Kono broke the silence. "You'll have to ask Kagome's mother Naraku."

Naraku went up to Jade and said, "Hey, Kagome's going to come over to my house so that we can play tomorrow."

"Naraku!" Kagome hissed.

"What? I asked didn't I?"

"Ya, but you don't have to be so mean!"

"I wasn't being mean. I was just letting her know that you are coming over."

While the two children fought the adults started to talk.

"Well, what are we going to do about this? They're not supposed to interact with each other!" Jade asked.

"I don't think that there's any harm in encouraging their friendship for now. We can always break it off and explain the rules to them later." Kono's son didn't have many friends and he didn't want to take away his chance at his first real friend.

"Are you serious!" when he nodded his head she said, "Okay then. We'll stop it when they're ten and have to go to school."

End Flashback

"Huh. If only your daughter was a miko. Then we wouldn't have to go through this," Kono sighed.

"Yes. Instead it was Kikyou who got the purifying genes. Oh life isn't fair!" she said.

"Well, it seems that it is time," Kono said and Jade nodded. They both went outside to collect their children.
