Chapter 1: Prologue and the Escape

Prologue- A young kage hanyou shoujo, who looked at least 16 in human years, watched as her father, the leader of the kage youkai tribe, battled with a different kage youkai, who wanted to be leader of the tribe. It looked as if her father was winning until the other kage youkai pulled out a smaller sword from his kimono repeatedly near the heart. Her father staggered back holding his wounds. He then dropped his sword and fell to the ground. The shoujo screamed and ran over to her father's body.

"Otou-san," she whispered as she lifted her fathers dieing body off the ground a bit.

"Taka," he said as he opened his eyes and said his daughter's name, "My musume, run away quickly far from this place," he said as he stroked his daughter's cheek.

"Nande otou-san?" she asked as she began to cry, "I don't want to leave you."

Her father closed his eyes again, "You must Taka. That youkai that just defeated me hates hanyous and I wont be here to protect you from him," he opened his eyes again when he heard his daughter crying, "Nakanaide Taka," he said as he lifted his hand to wipe her tears away.

She looked up when she heard footsteps walking towards them. It was the youkai.

"You two can finish your talk in hell," he said as he raised his sword to kill them both.

"Run Taka!" yelled her father as he pushed Taka away.

She fell back but stood quickly and started to run as fast as she could. The last thing she heard was her father's death cry and the youkai shouting out orders. Tears ran out of her golden eyes as she ran, with her raven black hair flowing behind her. A raven youkai flew over her. It was Kalis the only friend she's ever had. She continued running until sunset. She ran into a cave with Kalis close behind her.

"What's wrong Taka?" asked the worried raven youkai, "why have we come so far?"

Taka slumped back into the corner of the cave and answered, "My otou-san died and the new leader hates hanyous. He was about to kill me but I ran,"

"Oh… gomen," croaked the raven sadly.

"It's ok," she said as she brushed off her kimono (which was black with red flowers), "As long as they don't find us we'll be fine,"

"Would you like me to go find something for us to eat?" asked Kalis as he hopped around.

"Hai, dozo," replied the starved hanyou.

And with that Kalis was surrounded with feathers and when the feathers cleared Kalis was in his larger form (about the size of Kirara) and he flew out to go find something to eat.

Kalis returned. But he didn't have any food and he looked exhausted and worried.

"Taka we must go!" he said panting as he transformed into his smaller form.

But he was too late. At the entrance of the cave stood a kage youkai warrior.

Taka gasped as the youkai ran towards her. Kalis tried to stop the warrior but he got thrown aside. The youkai grabbed Taka and put his arm over her mouth and nose so she couldn't breathe. But Taka opened her mouth and sunk her fangs into his arm. The youkai screamed in pain as he released her and held his wound. When she was released she fell to the ground but instantly stood up and ran out of the cave. Kalis who had gotten up from his fall flew after her as fast as he could go for he injured his wing when the youkai threw him against the wall. Taka could scent that the youkai was still following her.

"Otou-san!" she screamed as she ran. But she knew he wouldn't be there to help her this time.
