Chapter 1: A Tragic Beginning
The crisp summer air blew across ten year old Kagome's face as she kicked her ball against the wall, pretending she was a great soccer player. She loved their summer cabin, but it had never been the same since her mom died.
"She fakes left.right." she said as she kicked the ball into an over turned trash can. "Score!"
"Kagome! Time for lunch." yelled her father.
"Coming," she said running inside the cabin and sitting down at the table as he handed her a PB&J sandwich with a glass of milk.
She watched as her father stood in the living room once again staring at pictures from four years ago. In it was a six year old Kagome hugging her father's leg as his arm was draped around his pregnant wife.
Flashback
Six year old Kagome lay on the floor of the living room watching cartoons as she waited for her mother to come her so they could eat dinner.
The phone rang and her father answered it, "Moshi Moshi."
He saw tears in his eyes as he hung up the phone. Without saying a word he picked up Kagome and drove to Tokyo Central Hospital. She kept asking him what was wrong but kept getting no answer. Soon they were sitting in the Hospital room and Kagome gazed down at her mother's deathly pale form covered in tubes.
"Jim..." her husband towered over her. His face full of worry
"Sshhh you're gonna be ok dear." he ran his fingers through her hair and placed a kiss on her cheek, finding it cold to the touch.
"Mommy?" said Kagome as she walked up to her mother's bedside, her voice almost a whisper.
"Kagome, my dear child...listen to me," she held her daughter's hand in hers. "You may not understand now, but never judge someone for their appearance...it's what's inside that matters."
The last that was heard from the hospital room was a mixture and snobs and tears as the screen flat lined.
Flashback Ended
After finishing her sandwich Kagome returned back outside for the championship finals. She knew her father was caught up in reading the newspaper and would be for a while so decided to go into the woods with her ball. She kicked her ball over fallen leaves and twigs. ('I'm getting pretty good at this.')
As soon as the thought crossed her mind she kicked her ball into the river. Climbing on a huge rock and holding on to a tree limb she tries to reach for her ball but only succeeded in falling into the river herself. She tried to swim out but something held her down, wrapping around her ankle, pulling her under the water.
Kagome struggled as she tried to keep form drowning, "Help!" she screamed, coughing as water went into her mouth. Our favorite hanyou had been walking in the forest and heard the cry and began running as fast as he could when we saw the girl being pulled under water. He quickly jumped in, diving under water as the rivers currents pulled her down. He found a plant wrapped around her ankle and with his claws broke through and swam bringing Kagome to shore.
Kagome lay on the shore coughing up water. She looked up to see who saved her and found him bending down picking up a pair of sunglasses and a baseball cap. He had long silvery white hair and wore a cubs t-shirt and some jeans shorts which were now soaked from his rescue.
"A-Arigato..."Kagome said looking up at him from the ground.
"Daijoubu?" he asked as he helped her to her feet.
"H-Hai..." she said coughing up more water.
"Come on, I'll walk you home," she looking up at him feeling a little dizzy. As she came up to the cabin she turned to him to thank him again but he was gone.
Kagome walked out of her house after lunch the next day, the sunlight filtering through the tree and the wind blowing in her face. She wore a blue shirt with a yellow sunflower on it and some jean shorts. Her father gave her a lengthy lecture to her about being careful and after much convincing she was allowed to go outside again.
She began walking into the woods picking up flowers along the trail when she heard something behind her in the bushes.
"Oi," she heard when she was about to run. It was the boy who saved her. Kagome smiled when she saw him, he wore his baseball cap and sunglasses along with a red t-shirt and some jean shorts.
"Oi," she smiled as he held out the ball to her that had fallen in the river.
"I just came to bring this back to you."
"My ball, arigato..." she smiled up at him. He turned around and waved good- bye, beginning to walk away. "My name is Higurashi Kagome.what's yours?"
He stopped and turned around to face her, "Ayakaiga Inuyasha," he answered, folding his arms over his chest.
"You wanna play?" she put the ball on the ground and kicked it to him, smiling when he nodded and kicked it back to her.
They spent the whole day together running in the woods and playing kick ball. The almost didn't notice when it was getting later. "I better get home.same time tomorrow, I can meet you by the lake," said Kagome looking up at him smiling, holding her ball.
"Yeah...by the lake..." answered Inuyasha, turning around and waving good- bye to his new friend. "Jaaaaaa."
Everyday was like that, they went fishing, on scavenger hunts, anything they could think of. (She's the first one to actually treat me like a real person.')
At home sat Kagome's father as he watched his daughter leave again. (I wonder where she goes every day.')
The phone rang surprising him, causing him to spill coffee on him self. "Damn." He got up to answer it. "Moshi Moshi."
"Hey Higurashi...you have a lovely daughter...it would be terrible if something were to happen to her," he remembered the voice, it was Onigumo.
Onigumo could hear his silence and grinned, "I'm back..."
His wife had been teaching Onigumo's son. One day she went to his house to talk about his son's progress. Onigumo was a very powerful youkai lawyer and very respected. That day she had gotten caught up in his illegal drug ring and couldn't get out. She told her husband everything that happened unable to hide it in anymore and a few days later was killed in a car 'accident.' After his wife died he exposed the drug ring for what it was and the operation was shut down. Now Onigumo had been released from prison and was after him and his daughter. ('How did he know I was here?')
"Ready or not here I come," Onigumo breathed into the phone.
He hung up the phone and began packing as quickly as he could. As he finished with everything he thought he might need he decided to get Kagome. Just then he saw a little boy out side the window about his daughter's age, the wind blew his hat off and his eyes widened at would he saw. Ears. Dog ears. ('It's his fault he knows where we are.')
Inuyasha quickly put his hat back on glad that Kagome didn't see. They played around her cabin as the sun began set.
"Let go! Daddy...what are you doing!" screamed Kagome from around the other side of the cabin.
"We're leaving, NOW!" he screamed at his daughter.
"B-But...why!"
"You'll understand when you're older..."
Just then she saw Inuyasha out of the corner of her eye, "Inuyasha!" He began running to her but was stopped by her father's voice.
"You keep away from her you freak!" he shouted, stopping him in his tracks. He pushed his daughter in the car and locked the door.
"Kagome..." whispered Inuyasha, she was the only friend he had.
"We'll meet again...don't forget about me...promise...don't forget." she screamed out the window.
"I promise...I'll find you...I'll never forget!" he shouted as the car drove away.
He dropped his sleeping daughter off at his brother's without saying a word and drove off. His brother knew what happened between him and Onigumo and said nothing to anyone. In his glove compartment was a poison he created used to kill youkai. He had been a chemist for twenty years and after his wife died decided to create one. He never tested it out but was positive it would work. He knew where to find Onigumo, at his old warehouse.
Onigumo stood there in the doorway entrance waiting for him. "I knew you would come, you...you brought this on yourself." he stated coldly. He came alone, he didn't think he needed any help, not to deal with this human.
"You bastard, leave my daughter out of this." He said as he sat in his car and fired the gun in which held the poison. He only hand enough for one shot.
Onigumo fell on the ground clutching his chest. Fire spread through his insides. "What the HELL! I was defeated...by a human." Those were his final words as his body burst into flames.
Higurashi leaned back against his car seat. ('It's finally over...he's dead...we're saf...')
He was unable to finish his thought as a bullet was fired into his head. Behind Onigumo's ashes stood someone hiding in the shadows. He watched as Onigumo was shot and his body burned to ashes. Thinking only of revenge he came out with a gun he'd found in the warehouse and shot him when he wasn't looking. ('You killed him...you bastard...and now you'll join him...and soon so will your daughter...')
