Demon Child

a.n/

Hi! Ok, I'm going to be very frank with you people, this is my first fanfic, so it may suck to an extreme unimaginable, but I've worked really hard and a few kind words would be greatly appreciated…before we get started, let me just say, this fic may seem a bit AU at first but I'm trying to stay as close to cannon as I possibly can with this very complicated storyline…

If any of the personality changes scare and or annoy you, don't worry, it's all part of the plan, and I'll try not to get OOC…

Thanks for your time! If you have suggestions put them in a review! It's that simple people!

Summery: Kara Higurashi isn't your everyday Tokyo 15-year old…her family's not normal, her home isn't normal, over all…she just isn't normal…but with the discovery of an old photograph and the unknowing aid of her uptight, secretive mother Kagome, will Kara discover just how abnormal she really is?

Disclaimer: if I were Rumiko Takahashi do you really think I'd be sitting on my fat ass writing this story!

Chapter 1.) Epilogue

The sounds of running footsteps echoed through the forest, their owner trying desperately to reach the safe haven that was the portal through time. Salty tears mixed with a cold seat made the warm night seem cold…or maybe that was the way she felt inside…this frigid, empty feeling…the feeling you get before you die. "You know you can't run!" the eerily familiar voice echoed through the trees, making Kagome's heart seem to close in upon itself…why was this happening?

"You know I'll find you…are you as stupid as you are useless?" he was closer…the young girl felt her breath catch in her chest at the words…maybe it was true… "I'm not afraid! Show yourself!" Kagome's voice echoed in the darkness…the fear was indeed in her words…but maybe if she didn't let it show…it didn't matter, she was going to die anyway…he was going to kill her like she had seen him kill countless others…

"Idiot wench…you really thought you had a chance, did you?" the hanyou chuckled darkly as he stepped calmly out of the shadows… "Ah, well, ignorance is bliss" he mumbled as he leaned against a tree casually…this was old hat to him…"Why are you doing this?" the miko whispered…it wasn't a question…it was a plea for understanding… "Why? InuYasha! Why are you doing this!" before Kagome realized it, she ran to him…only to be knocked swiftly to the ground…

"pathetic…what I said earlier is the truth, you're a useless fool, a shard detector…a stubborn one" she looked up from her place on the ground…not a speck of the demonic red could be seen in his eyes…he was doing this on his own accord…"at least Kikyo put up a fight…" he smirked at the cowering Kagome "naïve, stupid, pathetic Kagome…"

It was at that moment she knew she was going to die, right here…500 years from home…in the same forest they had met in…

She was going to die before she got a chance to scream.

Kagome sat straight up in her bed, her breath came as shuddering, gasping sobs…it had been a little over a year since the events that tortured her sleep had been the reality…she had only just survived. The scars were still there; criss-crossing her arms, long, now healed gashes on her back and side…with the scars…came the memories. Her attention turned to whatever it was that had awoken her. With a grim face Kagome made her way down the hall, her light footsteps echoing in the silent house, only the loud whimpering cries emitting from her old bedroom seemed louder… "silly little Kara…" she had to smile when her baby daughter's little round face lit up as Kagome entered the nursery… the little black-haired girl was Kagome's only reason for living now…The day she found out she was pregnant with the little amber-eyed baby was a bitter-sweet memory, she loved her daughter more than anything…and if that meant lying to the child all her life…then that's what Kagome would do.

Kara smiled up at her mother as she tucked her in her crib and rubbed the two tiny, triangular, jet-black ears atop the little girl's head. "I love you Kara…go to sleep" she whispered as she closed the nursery door. "feh." Kara mumbled as her amber eyes were claimed by sleep, and a tiny, clawed fist wrapped around the edge of her blanket…

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!- THUNK! "score one for team Kara…" mumbled the figure currently wrapped like a mummy in her scarlet sheets and comforter, as the offending alarm clock hit the wall… "Three…two…one…" "KARA! Time to get up!" "Damn." 15 year-old Kara Higurashi thought, as she lay in her bed listening to the familiar, brisk footsteps coming down the hall. Soon, her perfectly good lazy time would be ruined…wanting to avoid conflict she decided to just cooperate this morning…yeah right. With a melodramatic flourish, Kara rolled off the side of her bed and landed in a heap on the floor…

"Kara I thought I-"Kagome stuck her head in the door and shook her head at the pile of crimson sheets and ebony hair currently residing on the ground… "What ever gets ya moving…" she mumbled while closing the door…

Kinda short, I know…but it's just a prologue… I promise the chapters will be longer if I get 5 reviews!

Come on! It's my first fic! Show a girl a little support here!

This fic is dedicated to the 3 best friends in the whole world; Yura, Hanna, and Kikia…without you guys I probably would still be thinking this up instead of actually writing it down! And also too my beta and friend FamingRedFox, our pointless idea discussions have helped me so much!
