Prologue: Nightmare

-Beginning of Nightmare-

"There she is big sister." The little girl whispered to her older sister. Both girls were spying through the crack of a shrine door on a woman. Both mesmerized on what she was doing.

"Big sister, what's momma doing?"

"Kagome, you're such a dummy. She's purifying great great greeeeeeeeeeat great grandfather's sword, the Tessaiga!" Kagome clasps her hands and stare at her big sister with big a bid smile and a twinkle in her eyes.

"Wow Kikyo, you're so smart! I want to be the best priestess, just like you!" Kikyo stared at Kagome and smiled. They didn't realize that they were caught red handed spying by their own mother. She got up and walked to the door, opening it to see her two daughters admiring one another. She smiled.

"Kikyo, Kagome, were you two spying on me?" she crept closer to both their face and kissed the on the forehead. Both girls blushed and giggled.

Both girls ran inside and sat down by the sword,

"We just wanted to hear the tale about our ancestors Kagome, how she came from a different world and how she fell in love with Inuyasha and how they save the world together by finding the jewel shards of the Jewel of Four Swords!" Kagome said with such excitement, throwing both hands in the air

"And, how the Powerful and beautiful Priestess Kikyo help them as well and how she was grandpa Inuyasha's first girlfriend!" stated Kikyo with such prop. Both girls began to settle down. At the same time, they both pull out a necklace, each with the half of the jewel itself

Their mother walk to them and sat in between them. She wrapped her arms around them both and brought them closer.

"You Kikyo, you are the reincarnation of the Beautiful Maiden Kikyo" she said smiling her.

"And you Kagome, you are the reincarnation of Kagome, who was also a reincarnation of Kikyo as well, and she was our ancestor" she looked and smiled at her too. Mother's face became serious all or sudden. She hugged the children tighter

"Also remember that grandpa was half demon as well, so we have his demon blood inside us three. So, remember what I said, it's our little secret, kay?"

Both girls looked up at their mother they saw a white, pure around embellished around her and she looked down at them. She smiled faintly and sighed. Their mother proceeded to open her mouth as she was struck through the chest from behind. The aura that was once white as snow, is black.

Both girls back away from the women, scared. They saw a figure behind their precious mother, a shadow of a man, with the eye that yearned blood. The beautiful priestess fell face first on the ground, blood all around her.

"Momma?" Kagome asked, stretching her hand out for her mom, sobbing. Kikyo looked at her little sister and she knew she had to protect her, and there it was, she saw a bow and arrow by Kagome. She grabbed the weapon, stood in front of her and got into position, aiming straight at her mother's killer.

"Stay back Kagome!" Kikyo yelled as she shot the arrow. The arrow was heading straight for the man when all if a sudden, it went straight through him. Kikyo was in shock the she dropped the bow. To them, the sound of the bow, echoed through the building. The man was walking closer to the girls.

"Now, to bring you both in, the sword," the shadow told them

They stared helplessly at the scary man. They thought they were done for when the door slid open. Three ninjas and a monk barged inside

"Lady Miaka!" the monk cried out as he saw his beautiful priestess lifeless on the floor/ the two ninjas. The monk caught eye of her daughters in the corner of the room and he ran up to them

"Young priestesses, are you alright?" he asked calm but to no response. They were both in shock. He knew he had to get them out and in a safe place. He overheard the enemy state that he wanted to take them and the sword.

"Chiriku, our mom was…" both girl began to tear up. Chiriku didn't know what to say he just grabbed Kagome and the sword. Kagome was surprised as to what was going on.

"Sarutobi!" the monk yelled as the other ninja turned around to stare at the young Kikyo.

"I understand." He ran to the other girl and lifted her up, placing her on his shoulder. He grabbed her bow as well and both men carrying the young maidens ran out of the shrine. Outside the shrine, was the same story. The snow around the village was red from blood. The stench of death and both felt the presence of evil eluding the air. It was hot, fire engulfing houses and their home. The two men were running as far away as they can. Together heading for the carriage at the bottom of the hill.

"Let me go Chiriku!" Kagome kicked and yelled, crying out loud. The monk wouldn't listen to her, he kept running.

The view from was awful. The Miko sisters were facing the destruction of their beautiful home. From afar, the sky was painted red from the bloodshed in that village.

"Fire. Burning. Inside my chest…"

Kagome turned to look at her sister. She didn't know what she meant by those words. Her eyes, she's never seen her with such fearsome and hate. Kagome was sure that that was not her sister. They arrive to the carriage and were placed inside. Kagome saw her sister sitting with her hand in her laps, quiet, not saying a word. Kagome saw that they were riding away from the shrine, she looks outside on the window

"Momma!"

-End of Nightmare-

Kagome gasped as she woke up. The sun was shining through the opening in the curtain, down on her face. She sat up and held her jewel necklace in her hand. Momma, I miss you, she thought to herself. She was stuck in thought as she heard her sister panting in her sleep in the bed next to her. She got up and ran to her big sister, shaking her to wake her up.

"Kikyo, wake up, it's just a nightmare!" she yelled. Her sister woke up and quickly sat up. The Miko turned to her sister with a sad face

"Kagome, did you see what I saw. What we saw back then as well?

Kagome sat on her bed and nodded. Kikyo walked to the window and opened the window. The view was beautiful, vegetation everywhere and if you looked closely, you could see the Village Hidden in The Leaves. Both girls decide to do their bed and they were both quiet, too quiet, until big sister broke the silence.

"How long ago was that? Kikyo asked in a serious manner, not turning to meet eyes with Kagome. Kagome stopped what she was doing, she felt tears falling. She didn't want Kikyo to see her. She envied her, she was strong and she was weak. A flashback in her mind played of her big sister protecting her after their mothers' death.

"Ten years maybe?" Kagome wiped the tears of her eyes and finished her bed. She got up and stood next to Kikyo, staring at the distance.

"That long huh? You were five and I was Six"

"Yeah…." Kikyo said faintly that she can barely be heard.

Kikyo picked out her clothes and went to the bathroom to change in to her training gear. Kagome did the same, instead she changed into her priestess uniform. Kikyo came out of the bathroom and was brushing her hair. Kagome just gazed at her with sparkled eyes.

"Big sister has always been better. She's prettier, smarter, and the most talented. I want to be like her. Even her priestess powers are far more advanced than mine. Not only that but her ninja skills as well." Kagome thought.

Kikyo was putting her hair in two braids when she noticed Kagome staring.

"What is it Kagome?" she stated

Kagome was startle but really did have something to tell her.

"Chiriku wanted to speak with you yesterday but you left training early. I remember he said something about a mission in Hidden Leaf Village?"

"alright." She finished her braids and got up, heading to the door.

"Behave yourself, okay little one!" Kikyo said a smile and that gave Kagome encouragement

"Yes!" Kagome said and she saw her sister walk through the door
