"I'm proud of you, rest well in peace… my daughter." The kind, gentle, and caring man whispered to her, she closed her eyes and drifted off into darkness, a warm light engulfed her and she slept peacefully in her father's arms.

Her name is Kamiko Haruko, meaning "Little goddess spring child", her father is Mikage, the god of Mikage shrine located on Mikage mountain, his familiar is Tomoe the wild fox demon, Kamiko has knee length blonde hair, bright blue eyes, she always is wearing beautiful kimonos that have lovely flower patterns, but on special occasions, she will wear her dragon one which is red with a black and white dragon on it. She is unique, she is over 400 years old, she has an elegant beauty that not even the gods can compare to her because she is half-god, and half-Yokai, although she's half demon, not one person can tell, even Yokai say she's full god. Kamiko bears a brilliant striking resemblance to her father Mikage; the only thing that she has inherited from her mother is her blood, attitude, looks, body shape, and her eyes, such a lovely bright blue. Even though Kamiko has always lived with her mother, when he father came to visit, Kamiko always enjoyed being with him, even more than her mother, he was the one who brought light into her lonely and dark world that she lived in with her mother. Kamiko would often run away from home when he mother brought men home, ever since she was little her mother had been doing that, even when she was with her father. Mikage took custody of Kamiko for a short 3 years but he lost custody when Kamiko had been abducted when her father was busy with work as the Mikage shrine god, it was in the middle of the night, her father had just returned from the God Summit. That night they had a celebration for his return, Kamiko was only 6 years old at the time, she fell asleep in her fathers' bed, next to him sleeping soundly, a guest at the shrine had leaked information about Kamiko being the deity's child, and so a powerful Yokai had abducted her when Mikage had went to the bathroom. They kept her in a hidden realm, away from all others, and never fed her; they played with her like she was an object, and occasionally beat her when they claimed she was annoying, her mother broke through the barriers and found her. Kamiko cried on her mother's lap, Tomoe and Mikage just arriving at the hidden place, her mother chewed Mikage out and took Kamiko with her, back to her home and for 194 years, so Kamiko was now 200 years old, Kamiko had to put up with her mother's job.

Although her mother wasn't one of the girls that were in the shop Tomoe often visited, she still worked in a similar environment, seducing clients in the shop, making sure she did her job well enough and she got paid well, her mother tried to get Kamiko to join her and become a whore like her, but Kamiko refused. Her mother locked her in her room, right in front of one of her customers, she ripped her clothing open and beat her, Kamiko's mothers nails sharp and she made Kamiko bleed form wounds all over. The men from different rooms gawked at Kamiko's body, she was left there bleeding and dying, her mother turned a blind eye to her, never admitting she was in the wrong, Tomoe and Mikage happened by the shop, overhearing the excitement. They heard "Miss Kumina's daughter is there. She's one of them now. Let's go see how well she does her job as a whore just like her mother." Tomoe went in, realizing that something wasn't right, he saw men surrounding her, trying to get their way with her, and she was fighting them as hard as she could and he stepped in to help. Mikage waited outside to treat her wounds, Tomoe put the kimono that was over his shoulders over her, tied it close and picked her up. He brought her out to Mikage and they went back to the shrine, Kamiko's wounds weren't that deep, but her mother's nails must've had poison on them, she was desperately clinging to life, Mikage touched her forehead and she immediately started healing. Mikage looked sadly at Kamiko sleeping so soundly, yet in a tremendous amount of pain, he kissed her forehead gently, making sure not to give her the deity mark, and Kamiko slept like a child in his kind, gentle, and loving embrace.

"You are indeed strong, you've done well Kamiko, I'm proud of you, rest well in peace… my daughter." Mikage whispered in her ear, she let out her breath in relief and drifted off into darkness, a warm light engulfed her and she slept peacefully in her father's arms.

"Mikage, how's Kamiko-san doing? Is she alright?" Tomoe asked as he walked past the doorway and stopped to collect the sake bottle and cups.

"She's fine, it's actually a miracle that she's still alive, Kumina has always been like this I guess, and she's always so forceful, so direct, and hurtful. I won't be able to forgive her after doing this to Kamiko-chan, her own flesh and blood, then letting her lay there in a pool of her own blood, dying, and the men all trying to use her to fit their needs. Tomoe, promise me… that you'll always protect this child. She's still young and is still new to the way in the world, guide her and be her strength; this is my final request if I ever have to disappear or if I die. Promise you'll protect Kamiko no matter what, alright?" Mikage said sadly, he looked at Tomoe with a painful expression on his face and looked down at Kamiko's sleeping face, still looking painful, and stroking her lovely blonde hair gently, lulling her to a deep sleep. "Tomoe, you may not know this, in fact only Kumina and myself know it, nobody else, but the reason Kamiko is often targeted right after gatherings is simple… she's a deity's child, also Kamiko in particular is something you don't see every day. Kamiko is Half-god, but she is also Half-Fox Yokai, Kumina is a full blood Fox Yokai but at the time, she was weak and I found her dying on a hill, so I took care of her, and a few hundred years later Kamiko was born into this world, being a special being as she may. I have never told her this, she's always thought that she was full god, but since Kamiko isn't at all like a deity, Kamiko has grown up like her mother, learning right from wrong in only a matter of 5 years, by the age of 16, she had already done so much. Although she isn't a god, Kamiko already has a familiar, he's been alone for quite some time but he is also a pure white snake, his name is Mizuki, it is official but I have a feeling that Kamiko reminds him of Yonomori-san, the deity of Yonomori shrine. Tomoe, the thing is, they haven't made a contract by the traditional way, but one day when Kamiko got lost and happened by Yonomori shrine, she spotted Mizuki sitting all alone, staring at cherry blossoms, frozen in time, lonely and yearning for Yonomori to return. Tomoe, this child is… the only thing that is keeping me from disappearing, this child depends on me and so I will remain here, just, when she finally leaves here, protect her. I'm asking this not as the deity, but as her father, please Tomoe, take care of Kamiko in my place." Mikage said sadly and Tomoe's eyes went wide in shock, he couldn't believe Mikage's words, Mikage looked at him, and smiling painfully and Tomoe knelt by his side.

"Yes, Mikage-sama." Tomoe said with his head bowed, he picked up Kamiko and took her to her room; Mikage smiled and noticed that Kamiko could open his heart to new possibilities and make Tomoe happy.
