Prologue

Taneka ran for her life. The village, her home was engulfed in flames. She had run away once she found the chance. She had been separated from her mother and brother in the melee. Taneka, who was barley five years old, took a glance back toward the village. The sight frightened her even more. Why was the Demon punishing them? What had they done to deserve this?

Taneka found that she could run no father. She looked frantically around for some place to hide. During that time, she heard the roar of the Demon and a piercing scream from the village. She leapt into a berry bush by the forest path and held her legs and head close to her chest. She was so scared and tired from all that running. All she could hear or think about was the scream that she had heard from the village. Mommy… Mommy… It had reminded her of what she had seen the Demon do...

She saw her mother in the huge claws of the Demon. She saw her mother's desperate pleas for her children's lives. Her mother had tried to save her and her brother. But the Demon had not cared to listen. Her brother, Mako, had hastily picked her up and had pulled her to safety. Or what they thought was safety. But there were so many people from the village running around that Mako had lost his grip on Taneka's hand. Taneka was soon lost in the sea of people, afraid and alone. So, Taneka had run around the village looking for her brother. When she finally found him, or a piece of him (his head and one arm), she had shrieked and run from the village. The blood was still in her mind.

Then, Taneka heard a sound that she dreaded to hear, a roar emanating from above as the Demon crashed down from the sky. Taneka realized the Demon was looking for her. It would not stop until all from the village were dead. She was too afraid to even breathe for a moment. Then, out of instinct, Taneka got up and plunged out of the bush and began to run. But she did not make it very far.

She looked up into the malevolent eyes of the Dragon, yellow mixed with red flame in madness. Then, Taneka knew no more as the soft tinkling of a flute being played tolled her death.


Hello Inuyasha fans! Here is my first Inuyasha fanfic! Or at least the prologue… the actual story hasn't started yet, of course! I hope you guys like it. I think it's a good change from all my stories about Teen Titans. Although my first love will always be Teen Titans. Reviews would be nice!
