Prologue

"…it is my fault…"

Koga bent down and kissed her gently on the cheek.

"…I killed an entire village…"

She stared up at the Sunset Shrine, her golden blonde hair billowing around her and catching the sunlight.

"…I sat back and let it happen…"

She swung her leg, placing a swift kick to Miroku's groin and he doubled over in pain.

"…I let him kill those villagers…"

She balanced on the edge, and then dived headfirst into the well.

"…I stopped fighting…"

Time seemed to slow as she fell toward the ground. She hit the dirt hard, feeling the blood flow down her neck and the world faded away.

"…I killed an entire village…"

She flung the sword, tip first and silently prayed for it to strike its mark.

"…I sat back and let it happen…"

Just as he was about to slam the sword into the ground, a dark shape flew over him and knocked the Tetsusaiga out of his hands. It landed behind her, the tip imbedded into the ground.

"…I let him kill those villagers…"

She kicked his legs out from under him and he landed on his back, winded. She bent down over his chest and stared into his blue eyes.

"…I stopped fighting…"

She whirled around, drawing her blade in the blink of an eye, and letting go of it. It flew though the air towards his head, a look of shock plastered on his face. He dodged it at the last second and the sword sank into the wood of a nearby tree trunk.

"…it is my fault…"

Bright red eyes glowing behind a mask of red…the scent of death strong in the air…

"…it's all my fault…"

--------------------------------------

Okay, how'd u like it? Okay, before you yell, I know its short, but the next FULL chap will be up in a few days….or maybe a few hours! You never know……..

And this short dream-like sequence is very important to what is going through Serena's mind, and it WILL be essential later on. It is also a convenient flashback to some of the scenes from the first story.

Lastly, I'd just like to thank my friends BloodyOrchids and slipnot4349 for threatening me with chainsaws to get this story started!

Now, REVIEW to your heart's content!
