Author's note: Yes, I have discovered Inuyasha. I have an idea for this story to be quite long. This is only the prologue; I know it seems really short so far. Have fun reading! And please leave a review!
Disclaimers: I own nothing related to Inuyasha.
Prologue
He knew he shouldn't have spared the little homeless girl a second glance. Her huddled form on the sidewalk garnered none of his sympathy. Her piteous eyes swimming in clear tears only made him view her as pathetic. As he proceeded down the street, she half crawled over to him and held out her little hand.
"Please, sir. I haven't had anything to eat all day." She whispered, her hand trembling. She only looked to be about five. The man felt an unexpected pity towards this girl.
"Where are your parents?" He asked in an emotionless voice.
She looked up at him, her face stained with dirt and grime. "I don't know." She answered in a small voice.
"Well," He responded, "The streets are no place for a girl your age." Reaching into his bag, the man pulled out a sleep cell phone.
The girl's eyes grew wide. "Sir?" She asked uncertainly, "What are you doing?"
"I'm calling the authorities; it is better for you in an orphanage." The girl could not believe her ears. "An orphanage?" She asked, her eyes filling with terror.
Within moments, social workers approached the girl. She turned around and tried to run as fast as her little legs could carry her. As one woman grabbed the little girl by the hand and started to drag her into the car, the girl glanced back at the man.
"Why did you do this?" She cried, tears streaming down her cheeks. The car slowly pulled out of reverse and began to drive away. The man mutely stared after the retreating figure. A small ornament on the floor caught his attention. It was a simple charm that girls often wear on their wrists. It was small and held only one word.
"Kagome."
