Fan fiction of Inuyasha, purely fan made, is based on the story Untouched. Not copied, and I am not making any profit off of this. I do not own InuYasha; it is kept by the rightful owner Rumiko Takahashi.

Tragedy and Sorrow

Kagome was happy. The sun shone over the fields, the flowers bloomed. Spring had arrived and it was time again to say goodbye to her husband, Mister Kioran Higate. Kagome's husband was a demon hunter; he would go, slay a demon and get paid. Then come home. But today was a lot different than any day she ever had. Only just yesterday she and her husband had been informed that Kagome was pregnant. Her husband was very happy to hear the news and wished to stay, but not this day.

Kagome ran up to her house, kissed her husband goodbye and then watched him go on his horse. He then road away and Kagome did not turn until he was out of sight. But sadly, this was the last time; she would ever see Kioran Higate, ever again.

Some hour's later Kagome was sitting down painting a picture when suddenly she heard the sound of running horses outside. Kagome went out of the house and saw 7 horsemen out front. She walked over and the first man on his horse handed her a scroll. She read it and frantically began pouring tears till she fell to the ground. Kioran Higate had gone. But it never said he died, Kagome then thought. The next day, she demanded a search party to go look for her dearly beloved.

The search went on for months, and all the while Kagome's tummy was getting bigger. She was sad that her lost husband could not join her for these times of need. Everything she would need, he wasn't there for her. She had to do everything herself, no matter the task.

A day later, the officer of the village arrived to her door to inform her that they are calling off the search. Kagome became very angry. "You told me you wouldn't stop till you have found him."

"Miss Kagome, I'll have you know that it has been more then 5 months. There has not been any sign of him."

"You cannot abandon him. His life may be in danger."

"Or maybe was in danger. He could be dead Miss."

"Don't say that." Kagome began to cry.

"Look I am sorry. But we cannot do this. If he is still alive, may god protect him, and hopefully lead him home." He said.

The next few minutes ended with Kagome cursing at the man, and he riding off.

The next few months were a drown. Kagome had stopped eating much, she starved. She became depressed and felt terribly hopeless. She needed her husband, now. But sadly he never came. She then believed he was dead.

Later it was time for labour; Kagome was in the room crying as the pain hurt. But when the newborn came out, its heart was not beating. Kagome looked and saw a dead baby lying on the table. She then cried her heart out. Not only did she lose her husband, she now lost her child, whom she never knew.

The next few weeks Kagome had stayed at home. No longer seeing the villagers, and just kept to herself. Then one day a passer-by in a green cloak came across Kagome's home. The stranger walked up the steps and knocked on the door. Kagome did not even bother to go up. Then another few knocks, Kagome still sat there. Then the door opened. Kagome looked up and saw a hooded person come in. "Who are you?" she asked.

"Kagome?" the stranger asked.

"Depends who you are and what you want with me." She said.

"I have a letter for you; I was going to leave it in through the door."

"Just give it to me." Kagome ordered.

The person came over and gave Kagome the letter, then was on their way. Kagome ripped open the letter and read it.

My dear friend Kagome Higate, how have you been?

These days shine forever but gloomy is the moment. For I have heard the news that Kioran Higate has fallen. I am terribly sorry, but even so, life must go on.

I have received word from my other acquaintances and they have told me about a few occupations that they are willing to offer you. I know that you were once a Summoner of Bathestli and that you succeed in a many skill. Dear Kagome, do not let this offer pass, for I shall tell you of its means.

Perhaps you are familiar of it. A demon Hunter.

Kagome then stopped reading. She did not want a job of danger. A life at which her own husband had passed in. But then she thought, what have I to lose in life now? She read on, the conditions were simple and easy. She shall write back to this person and give them her reply. A yes.
