…Prologue…
My mother used to tell me all the time that this wasn't my face. It couldn't be MY face. Oh no. It was my great, great, great grandfathers' face. He had betrayed the family by trying to steal the sacred jewel for himself. But now the jewel is entrusted to me.
--100 years ago--
Itachi Higurashi, my great, great, great grandfather, was a well brought up child. He had everything he could ask for. Born of a wealthy family he was entrusted the title of future king of the Northern Kingdom. This was the only kingdom ruled by humans so it was a huge honor. But as Itachi grew older and gained power all he wanted was more. He soon learned of a jewel that was said to make a man more powerful. And what did he want exactly? To become a demon lord himself. He spent all of his time researching this 'jewel of four souls'.
What he soon found out was that it was entrusted to a priestess by the name of Kohana. So he traveled far and wide past the country side with a band of his soldiers to capture it. After 2 years he came to the outer edge of a small village by the bone-eaters well.
"What do you want?" said the high priestess. "I'm looking for a certain girl by the name of Kohana." He looked at her sternly, almost licking his lips.
"I am who you are looking for then?" He glared at the girl who was not over the age of thirty. His men unsheathed their swords and went after the poor girl. She ran and ran toward the village but she was no match. He had her killed by the time the villagers realized what had happened. They ran toward the home of the priestess and begged Kikyo, the next in line for high priestess, to defeat the man and protect the jewel. Being the spiritual person she was she refused to kill him. He was a man and not a demon. When she faced him he was no match. With her miko powers she took away his memory of the jewel.
The town witch Katsuimi put a curse on the poor man. "The next born girl in your family will be born with the features of a half-dog demon. She will know the cruelty of everything you have done." And he was sent on his way home.

And as luck would have it his wife gave birth to all sons…who had all sons…who had all sons…until me. Kagome Higurashi. Heiress to the throne. Funny thing is not only am I the cursed great-great-great-granddaughter of Itachi Higurashi but I am also the new protector of the jewel of four souls.
This is my story, one that isn't heard of too often, a kind of tragic but bittersweet novel of the sorts.
AN: Alrightyy…what do you think so far? Please review. That would be spectacular!
