A/N: Hai, hai, you all are about to kill me, aren't you? I haven't updated
DDiO; TR; DitM; or A,HnY. Instead I'm starting a new story! But I will
start on those soon. I've been kinda upset for the past week. My cat Jaydi,
the one who was sick a while back, died. She was my favorite cat of all
time. And everytime one of my cats die, a piece of me dies with them. So
far I've had four cats die, seven given away, and two run away. Ugh.
Anyway, this story is about an orphaned Kagome. Kouga's pack took her in her when she was six and she's ran with them since then. They hunt for her, protect her, care for her. One pack member, Ayame, is like a second mother to her.
One day, when she is fourteen, she wanders away from the pack's cave and meets Inuyasha and his pack. It takes a long time for him to gain her trust, as it was another dog youkai that killed her family. (hint hint... Sesshoumaru!) They fall in love.
But Kouga has already claimed Kagome for himself. He did this when they found her. When he finds out that Inuyasha whisks her away every night, he is not pleased with either the orphan or the inu youkai...
An AU.

The whole village was in turmoil. A very powerful dog youkai had come that night and destroyed half the town, the people along with it. The villagers were running helter-skelter, searching for the ones who might still be alive.
Near the outskirts of the little town, a girl who had not been discovered, ran through the forest as fast as her six-year-old legs could carry her. She didn't realize where she was running to, her eyes were blurred with tears. She had seen, from a safe distance, her parents bravely stand up to the corrupted inuyoukai, Sesshoumaru. And, like the other half of the village, they had perished at his hands.
She no longer wanted to stay in the village that her parents were killed in. She knew that the forest she was running through was dangerous and, for all she knew, Sesshoumaru could be lurking behind the tree that she just bolted by. She was escaping to a nearby clearing that her family had taken her to many times. It had cascades that she loved to slide down, they plunged her into a bubbling brook. She had loved to chase the salmon that dwelled there. During their breeding season, the girl's parents would bring her down so that she could watch the salmon jump up the cascades.
The place was beautiful during the summer. It was partially shaded by Sakura trees, the grass was luscious and soft. The sun would sometimes float through, creating dapples of golden yellow light on the petals of the Sakura.
Sometimes the blossoms would float down. Her parents would catch them with their hands and place them on her head, off to the side where her ear was. The beautiful pink petals brought out the dark brown strands in her raven hair. They would call her, 'kawaii sakura Megumi.'
Tears came to her eyes as she thought back on old memories. Right ahead of her she saw a cave.
"That'll make a nice safe place to rest for the night. Tomorrow I'll go home, I suppose." She said thoughtfully. She looked around her cautiously then bolted towards the abandoned cavern.
She looked around the place. It was larger than she thought it to be. She set her meager belongings down and pulled a tattered old blanket out of her small bag. It was decorated with cranes and falling sakuras. Her mom had given it to her when she turned four years old. It had been well-used.
She laid down on the ground and pulled the dirt-smeared quilt over herself. She reached over to her bag and pulled out a stuffed doll that she had received from her dad when she turned five. She replaced the bag back to the corner and snuggled herself into the beautiful blanket and fell into a beautiful deep sleep, where her every dream came true.

The red sun was rising slowly when the wolf youkai crowded around the mouth of the cave. There was a strange scent lingering there, the scent of a human. A female human, and a young one at that.
Kouga, the leader of the wolf pack, stepped forward first.
"I'll go in first. This is my cave, and I'll kill whatever is in there. Okay?" The other okami's nodded their heads in agreement. Kouga turned and ran into the cave.
*
The girl awoke to find herself being held up by a wolf youkai. There were other okami youkai there. She began to squirm nervously, ever since that attack on the village she had became wary of any youkai.
She gasped slightly when Kouga tightened his grip on her.
"Itai!" She gasped, pushing her tiny fists against his arm, which was locked tightly around her midsection. One female youkai stepped forward.
"Kouga, give her to me." She stated simply. Kouga released the fighting human girl and handed her to Ayame. Ayame put her finger to the girl's lips and shhh'd her. Her tiny arms stopped flailing haphazardly through the air and she looked fearfully up at Ayame. The youkai's golden amber eyes locked with the human's midnight blue ones and they stayed like that for a while.
"What is your name, child?" Ayame asked, breaking the silent tension. The girl opened her mouth to answer, but then closed it and kept it that way. Ayame smiled.
"So you won't tell me, huh?" She said, smirking playfully. "Well, I'll just call you... Kagome."

A/N: There's the first chapter minna-san! I hope you liked it and the next chapter should be up in a week or so because I'm going to church camp! Yay! I'm tingling in excitement! Another week of fishing, swimming, hunting frogs and snakes, hanging with my friends that I only see during this event, telling ghost stories at one o'clock in the morning... sigh. I can't wait! Please review!
