Prologue:

Kagome walked into the shrine with a sigh of relief that she could come home and relaxed. She dragged her body up the stairs and knocked on her mother's door.

"Come in." Kagome's mother yelled.

Kagome walked in and sat on the edge of her mothers bed to find her mother holding her baby brother, Souta. She smiled lovingly at her baby brother. She had always wanted a baby brother ever since she was little. Kagome was a mature nine year old who always helped out her mother.

"How was your day at school sweety?" Mrs. Higurashi asked.

"Fine, is there anything I can get for you Mama?" Kagome asked politely.

"Well I do need some things at the grocery store; do you think you could get them?" Mrs. Higurashi asked.

"Sure, of course Mama, I'll be back soon!" Kagome said with determination.

Kagome ran out of the house down the shrine steps and down the block to the grocery store. She got everything on the list and was walking home humming the tune her mother always sang to her before bed. While she was walking up the shrine steps she heard a faint scream. Kagome hurried up the stairs and put the grocery bag on the counter. She walked up the stairs to her mother's room to find her mother covered in blood and her brother Souta on the floor crying. She grabbed her brother and ran down the stairs, crying along the way. Kagome ran down the hallway to the family safe she grabbed the money and turned around to find her self face to face with the killer. She attempted to run away but there was no hope. The stranger pointed the blade to her face.

"Please have mercy on us." Kagome yelled with tears pouring out of her chocolate brown eyes.

"And why would I spare your life?" the man said making a deep cut across her cheek.

Kagome screamed and yelled but it seemed nobody was there to save her. The man took her brother from her and starting removing her clothes. She just wished he could just kill her now. She yelled and screamed as the stranger molested her.

Just then the hanyou walking by the shrine heard a little girl scream. He ran up the stairs into the shrine to find the little girl crying in the corner. The hanyou dug his claws into the stranger killing him in an instant. He then gave her a blanket and Kagome wrapped up into it.

"Hello 911 I need an ambulance at the Higurashi shrine." The hanyou said.

Kagome couldn't hold in her tears as she hummed the tune her mother use to sing from her. The hanyou turned around and looked at the little girl. The hanyou hummed the rest of the song to her and told her everything would be all right. Just as the sound of the ambulance came he rushed out of the house not leaving a trace behind.
