I kind of posted this on a whim and spontaneous choices. Hopefully you enjoy it, and please make to leave me any feedback or comments, so I can continue it.

Disclaimer: I wish I was amazing enough to own Inuyasha, but alas, I'm not Rumiko Takahashi, so no.


PROLOGUE


"Are you sure you want to leave her here?"

"Yes."

"But Hiroki she just lost her mother. Kagome needs to be with her family, not away," The woman insisted in polite tone as if that would be enough to convince my father to change his mind. But I never better. Father had made his choice long before my mother passed away. Having demons attack our village and kill innocent people simply because they are attracted to the power of a six year old miko on daily basis was reason enough to send me away.

I understood that. He was doing to protect everyone, but that didn't mean it hurt any less.

I glance down at my hands lying lap and pushed back any tears that threatened to fall.

This was for the best, I reminded myself.

"The demons want her!" I flinched at my father's words as he exclaimed. "There will be no family - no Higurashi - no village left for that matter if she returns,"

Peering through my bangs, I saw the woman unfazed by father's words. Body posture and lips were calmed.

"That is not fair Hiroki," the woman said. "You cannot blame the child for something she has no control over. A miko is born with spiritual powers. Young Kagome only needs to learn how to control it,"

"That's why she's here," my father answered. "You are the only one who can teach her Lady Midoriko,"

Suddenly, I could feel Lady Midoriko's gaze boring to me but I kept my eyes cast down shamefully. Lady Midoriko is a well-known miko and one of the most powerful ones. I couldn't bring myself to meet his gaze because I was afraid of what I might see. Too many already pity me. I didn't needed other person making that same judgment.

"Very well," Lady Midoriko said after a brief pause. "I will take her in, but Hiroki, you must know that Kagome cannot leave the shrine or the village until her eighteenth birthday,"

"I understand,"
