The Silver Haired, Priestess.

Prologue

"Get her out of here NOW" Screamed Inutaisho.

All his servants where panicking and running around in circles basically. Damnit why now? I just made a promise to the child's Mother that she will be Sesshomaru's mate but now people are attacking the castle just to get her. Inutaisho knew that he had to send her to the future, it was the only place she would be safe…for now… but when the time comes she will come back.

Inutaisho ran through the castle to aid the servant with the child, he needed to tell her how to get out of here and where to stay till he could transport her to a safer place. Inutashio knew that he had to defend his home and his mate and new born pup. Inutaisho told the maid where to go, and when he would meet her and take the child to a safe place, maybe in the future if any of his swords could help him.

Inutashio ran to the front gates to fend of the oncoming Youkai's wanting to get to the child, for it was rare for a Full blooded Inu Youkai female to be so wanted, but it wasn't her body or her face…it was her power, for it was odd for a Full Blooded Inu Youkai and a Female one at that to have also a small amount of priestess power, normally the child would die but this one seems to be different and thus is why she is promised to be mated to Sesshomaru, but Inutashio was no fool and knew that it would take several century's for them to meet, and probably more than a decade for them to realise they where meant to be.

When Inutashio reached the front gates the sights horrified him, some of his men were half melted and some been eaten alive while venom was liquefying there insides and destroying them on the outside. Inutashio pulled out Tetsusaiga, and ran down to help the rest of his men which where just managing not to die, and the ones who where dying but could be saved. Inutashio was a true leader and never liked to see his men die, or even woman… Anyone under my protection or my roof will survive and if they don't… a proper burial and service it is only fair.

"Wind Scar" Inutashio yelled as he thrust Tetsusaiga down and killed most of the Youkai's that where attacking his castle and men. I will not stand for this! Inutashio said to himself, inside his head. Inutashio got mildly distracted by his own thoughts, I Hope the servant got out of the castle unscathed… What time Era am I going to end up in? I knew the old well contained mystical powers but I don't know how to get through unless I throw a sword, cause of the demonic aura should create a warp and allow me to get the child to a safer haven until she is ready to mate with Sesshomaru.

Inutashio was distracted by his own thoughts, but not enough to get a sword through the chest; Inutashio caught the Bear Youkai's arm, twisted it and then threw him into a crowd of oncoming attackers. Another Youkai was heading straight for him again… when will they learn that they can defeat me with such meager antics? The man ran at him and Inutashio caught him by the face and flipped him over to land on top of the first man then jumped up as the remaining two attacked him from either side, lancing a few steps in front of them and smirked as the pair collided with each other, head knocking against the other's forehead and they both collapsed backwards, unconscious. Pfft stupid… and there Humans what a waste of energy.

Inutashio didn't realise that he was going to have to wait another day to find the maid, and the child. This is much too dangerous, but I can't leave my mate and my newborn son alone. Bathed in pale moonlight Inutashio knew it was a risk to leave the child and his mate, so he would have to be patient and wait another day… The child was only one day old; Sesshomaru was two days old, barely any difference. Ha unlike me and my mate even if she is only a decade younger than me. Inutashio thought to himself.

Once all the Youkai's where destroyed and those who lived killed, only then could Inutashio go back to his mate and pup… Where the hell is that blasted Youkai? I can smell him I just can't see him. Suddenly a man lunged at Inutashio, I knew it, I was right that BASTARD! Inutashio dodged the man. The man looked like a regular human, but infact he was another Youkai, just a powerful one. Ha but his power is meager, it wont kill me… but any other opponent it may.

"What are you doing out here when you should be at home protecting your mate and pup? Or are you just that stupid that you think you could defeat me?" The mysterious man said.

Heh, anyone who's anyone would know not to face me but then again… I may get a chuckle out of this. Inutashio lunged at the man; he had the shits with the guy. He didn't want to waste his swords on such a feeble opponent, Inutashio raised his hand. A few seconds later his claws came in contact with the Youkai's arm, unfortunately it wasn't a killing blow, but it was a blow all the less, the scar would stay with him for the rest of his life… however long or short it be. Inutashio smirked.

Inutashio knew that somehow this person would survive a bit longer than he, but he knew he would have at least marked him so his son knew who the enemy was. It was time to retire for the night, to his chambers, to his family. Inutashio decided it was time to go back, it was almost the next day, and he was tired to say the least. Inutashio gathered up all the remains that he thought where fit, and would be of some use.

Inutashio decided he may as well walk home, even if it was a tiny scratch on his shoulder it would heal in no time; also let him see how many of his men he lost, and the services he would have to do tomorrow. Hmm if I haven't lost too many men I may be able to send the girl back to a time that's safer, and if it goes to long it will be an awful risk, but if I don't take the consequences could be dyer.

Inutashio was walking at a stead pace, his long silver hair flowing behind him. Inutashio wasn't really aware of what was happening around him, until he kicked a helmet; when he looked down at the helmet he was grief stricken, the man was his adviser, and his general of his army and his friend. Inutashio bent down and let his long fingers and claws vaguely touch the helmet, he was one of the few people in his house that he could trust and now, deceased.

Inutashio sighed, it would take years possibly decades to get a new adviser and General. I hope two days do not affect the child in any aspect, or the maid who I have set the task to take her to a safe holding until the time is right. Inutashio picked up the helmet; it was covered in blood on the inside, obviously something must have trigged and explosion of body parts or something of that nature.

Once Inutashio stepped inside his castle, a sense of sadness washed over him. The guilt was gnawing at his bones, metaphorically speaking. Inutashio let the sadness and sense of guilt wash over him, this girl better bring Sesshomaru happiness, even if I had to lose a few people close to me on the way, even if my son turns out to be a cold hearted kid in the future; after what my mate has foreseen it seems that will happen. Inutashio wasn't ready to see his mate just yet.

Inutashio went into his study and sat down, he looked about his study… he had a note in front of him from Kazumasa, his general and adviser. Inutashio was grief struck, and didn't want to see his mate like this, or his son it would upset him. Great another thing to do before I get to the child and take her to safe haven, by the way things are going at the moment Sesshomaru is set to be without a mate forever, I will have to have interviews with new advisors and generals and if they can do both it just makes things so much easier.

There was a knock on the door. Inutashio growled then ordered them to come in. It was the one of the soldiers who survived he was a fox Youkai, by the name of Kai, he seemed to be one of the soldiers Kazumasa was most proud of, even if he was a tiny lanky thing, long orange ponytail and was only young…about 170 I think just mature enough.

"What is it boy?" Inutashio growled; he was not only annoyed he was also tired, very, very tired.

"I have some unfortunate news about… the young girl's mother…" Kai said, trailing off.

Inutashio raised an eyebrow, asking him to continue… he knew it was bad news if the informant trailed off before they got to the most important part, the actual information that would be of any help.

"Well, the mother got attacked by a gang of Youkai's, all kinds not just a specific kind, the father was killed before as you know… now she will never know her parents I feel sorry for her, I mean even I grew up with one parent, my father and if it wasn't for him I wouldn't be standing here… Sorry" Kai apologised while bowing about 20 times.

"It's okay Kai, if you keep been useful you will move up in the ranks… did you manage to salvage anything from the remains of the mother?" Inutashio asked with a kind voice.

"Hai, I managed to save this necklace… I'm guessing the mother was wearing it for a while… it seems to have contained some spell, but now has vanished" Kai reported, holding his hand out with a beautiful silver necklace with a tiny blue crescent moon on it.

Inutashio smirked; he knew this would be a good to tell Sesshomaru, when he is ready to know, this will act as an indication that she is who she says she is. It will confirm it once I put the spell on it, only Sesshomaru will be able to see her for what she really is, and who she really is… she doesn't even have a name, well for now to Sesshomaru it will remain a secret except for the necklace.

Kai dropped the necklace into Inutashio's hand, bowed then left the room. Inutashio closed his hand around the necklace. Hmm I will leave it in my study until tomorrow. Inutashio knew it was time to retire to his chambers and his mate. Inutashio got up and walked to his chambers, his mate and pup where asleep. Inutashio lied down on his futon and fell asleep quickly.

Inutashio woke up to a hand stroking his hair; he knew his mate's long delicate fingers anywhere. He opened one eye up a slit, he saw his mate there with his son. He decided that he wouldn't have much time with him today, with the burial, and services and looking for a new general and advisor; it may even take two days. It will also take at least half a day to get to the girl, and a day to the old well… I better make the most of this. Inutashio got up and stretched.

"May I hold Sesshomaru for a while? I will not be able to see him for a while so I would like to spend the little time that I could with him, please?" Inutashio asked Sayuri.

Sayuri obliged and handed over Sesshomaru, Inutashio smiled at her then looked down at Sesshomaru. He's perfect, golden eyes, magenta crescent moon, magenta markings… the markings are just like mine… silver hair like stars, I hope it will grow long and be like a silver waterfall of stars. "He's perfect" Inutashio stated in pride.

Sayuri laughed.

"Yes?" Inutashio asked while staring at Sesshomaru.

"Everytime you see him you say that, it's cute" Sayuri told Inutashio with another laugh.

"But he is not the only beautiful thing in this room" Inutashio said with a wink to Sayuri.

Inutashio bent down and rubbed noses with his son, marking him with his scent; so he will be a part of his house forever, bare his mark as such. Inutashio growled at his son, he heard a almost inaudible whimper from his son, which made him growl again this time it was more soothing, than anything else. Inutashio held Sesshomaru a little closer, he wanted to stay and protect Sayuri and Sesshomaru but he also felt that it was his duty to help the little girl.

He growled again at his son, in a soothing manner; if only that little girl's parent didn't die then maybe she could find out who she was a different way, but looking at it now it will be traumatic and she will probably reject it… oh-oh I hope whatever era she ends up she is ready for it. Well she wont even remember what her parents looked like, there is a painting of her family but other than that she probably wont know… if and when she does she will reject I know that much.

Inutashio sighed, and handed back Sesshomaru to Sayuri who immediately started balling, Inutashio bent down and released another soothing growl then stood up, going to attend to his business which would be long and like anguish away from his mate and pup. Inutashio sighed and left his chambers, straight to his study which would give him a couple of hours before the burial and service; what am I going to say out there? How many mates and families have I made lose there mate/father this is tragic I'm glad there was only a few about thirteen at the most… Inutashio was pondering at this for about an hour, didn't know if he should say everyone that was helpful who died for a good cause.

Inutashio sighed; it was time to face the music. Inutashio walked out to the front gate, where families where waiting for the service. "We are we here today to mourn the lost of some fine soldiers and a general" Inutashio said while looking at Kazumasa's family, he had to sons and a wife who was more than distressed, her son was comforting her, he was young but Inutashio knew he would mature now more than ever and faster than normal, losing a father would do that to a pup.

"It was a mistake, no one was supposed to die… but it was for a good cause I assure you, anyhow I truly mourn the loss of some fine soldiers and mates… for this I' am truly sorry but I'm sure you will all forgive in time, until then I await your sympathies… If you wish to for some help for the time I will listen and provide you help depending on the circumstances" Inutashio addressed to the crowd.

Inutashio down to were they were burying everyone, addressing the crowd and everyone else who would talk to him, some just glared at him. He saw Kazumasa's mate approaching him, she was beautiful yes but she was also stuck up, she thought every other female was beneath her, now however she looked like she was suspicious of everyone, and slightly broken. Her red hair was a mess, her eyes were slightly puffy and she looked like she was about to snap.

"I'm sorry, I never meant for Kazumasa to die" Inutashio said sympathetically, to Matoko and her son. Funny enough I have never been introduced to her son… I wonder why… Inutashio's thoughts got cut of by the son.

"I'm sorry we haven't been properly introduced, I'm Yuki, and I have heard a lot about you from father. You're great, famous and very powerful" Yuki beamed, another lanky young boy, he looked very immature and the world at his feet. He's going to get hurt, and that will make him see the world for what it truly is.

"And I' am Inutashio, a powerful dog Youkai, but not the most powerful Youkai I assure you" Inutashio said with a laugh. "Is there anything I can help you with Matoko?" Inutashio asked kindly.

"I…I… need a place…to…to" Matoko choked out between sobs. Yuki started rubbing her back in an attempt to settle her. "Thank you Yuki" Matoko said with a wave of her hand. "As I was saying, I need a place to store my husband's scrolls, and information about his previous assignments and I was wondering if you could possibly store them for me… I really have no use for them" Matoko said kindly.

"Of course as long as you will forgive me for your husbands tragic demised, I'm very sorry" Inutashio said with regret in his voice. He knew it was his fault, but he always thought Kazumasa could handle himself, he never thought he would die from a simple poisoning, a poison which triggered and explosion or something of that sort.

"Of course, thank you" Matoko said with a bow. "I will drop them off in two days" She told him with another bow.

Inutashio knew it was time to head back, to interview the people who where going to try for his advisor and maybe General otherwise if they couldn't make the cut for both, that would mean double the interviews for him. Inutashio sighed, as he was exiting the burial place he felt sadness wash over him once again…I don't like this feeling, I haven't felt it in at least 300 years, and I do not like it one bit.

Inutashio was sitting in his office three hours later, he had, had over 30 interviews so far and only on person stood out in all of them. Geru, he was a Boar youkai, he had long brown hair in a ponytail and was buff, but to an acceptable point, he was perfect to be the General of his armies. He even told him that, out of the thirty people he interviewed he was the best.

Now it was time for the Advisors, it was almost the next day, he decided this was going to be the last interview; to Inutashio's delight he was the best candidate so far, his name was Akira, he was young probably just a little over two hundred years old, he was a Rabbit demon… and odd one at that, he had pink hair, and did not look that strong. But something about him just told Inutashio he was born to be his counselor, and if he survived hopefully to his son.

"I hope I have made a good impression on you, Lord Tashio but it looks like I have bored you…" Akira said trailing off.

"Oh no of course not boy, I was merely think, my apologies… I believe you have acquired the job" Inutashio smiled at Akira.

"Thank you my lord, Thank you" Akira said happily over and over before bowing and leave Inutashio's study.

"Oh… Akira" Inutashio yelled behind Akira. Akira popped his head in the door.

"Yes, what is it my lord?" Akira asked politely.

"You will start tomorrow okay?" Inutashio told Akira.

"Yes my lord" Akira said respectively.

Inutashio waited till Akira left the room, then sighed today was a long day. It was the next day and he had much to do the next day…Hmm once again I shall retire to my chambers but this time, I will not be able to hold Sesshomaru in the morning. Inutashio thought with regret. Inutashio got up, and opened his door to his study, outside he saw a maid been groped by one of the soldiers, Inutashio was not only tired, but at the moment he was extremely outraged that one of the soldiers would do this.

Inutashio flexed his claws, and then suddenly the soldier who was violating the maid was suddenly nothing but blood. He looked at the maid, she was crying and she smelled like she was distressed. "I'm very sorry about that… how would you like some time of to recover?" Inutashio asked the maid while going to rub soothing circles on her back.

"Thank you my lord" She said with a sob. After a few more reassuring words she walked back to her chambers for some rest.

Inutashio was disgusted that something like this would happen in his house. Inutashio sighed and walked back to his chambers tomorrow he would be storing the scrolls from Matoko in his house then going to put the girl in a safe place. I have to do it tomorrow, demons are probably close to snatching her, and I don't want another death on my shoulders.

Once Inutashio was outside his chambers he thought of nothing better than lying down on his futon and getting at least a few hours sleep. Inutashio felt as if he hadn't slept for at least a week. Inutashio opened the door, and his mate was sleeping against the wall with Sesshomaru in her arm's he smiled and lied down on his futon. He was staring at his mate and child, and quickly fell asleep.

Inutashio woke up, a ray of sunlight flooded over his room; it bathed his mate in soft sunlight… she looks like an angel Inutashio thought vaguely to himself. He managed to sit himself upright, he sighed once again. Inutashio laughed at himself "how many times have I sighed to myself this week"

He heard a light laugh, He looked over to Sayuri she was laughing while rocking Sesshomaru gently in her arms. "I think about 12 times so far these two days" Sayuri said with a little laugh at the end of her sentence.

"Well my dear, I believe I have to go now…" He said trailing of. He walked over to Sayuri and placed a delicate kiss on her lips, I will miss her for the next two days.

"See you later my love" Sayuri said planting another kiss on Inutashio's lips. Inutashio smirked and left the room. I believe Matoko's son, Yuki and a few servants will be here in an hour or so…Inutashio though vaguely.

An hour and a half later Inutashio was standing outside his house, Yuki was talking to Inutashio about how he would be in charge for two days until he got back… Inutashio wasn't listening he was watching Yuki's servants hand over the scrolls to his servants, one more left. Inutashio smirked it was time to leave, he grabbed one of his servants and told them they where to escort the maid back to the palace.

Inutashio rushed of to where the maid and the child were residing, he looked at the maid, she was happy he was there. "My lord, I'm glad you're here, I've been attacked twice… I was worried for my safety and hers" Said the maid looking down at the child.

"I shall take her now; I will transport her to a safer haven and return… in the interim this young boy will accompany you back to the palace" Inutashio said in a kind manner. Taking the child from the maid. The child opened her eyes to reveal a pair of sapphire eyes staring up at him, although they only stayed open for a few seconds before closing again.

Inutashio smiled down at the child and said his farewells to the servants until he got back; he rushed out of the hut and towards the forest. He slew many demons trying to kill him to get to the child.

Two days after he left Inutashio arrived at the old well, My I hope I can get through the well otherwise I'm fucked, and so is the future of this child and possibly my son. It was almost nightfall. Inutashio jumped onto the edge of the Bone eaters well, he looked at the bottom of the well it was black and he could feel the aura of magic wafting off of it. Inutashio jumped, and the Tenseiga reacted with the magic of the old well, he waited until the blue aura stopped and he found himself in a hut of some sort.

Inutashio jumped up and realised this was a very well built hut, not formed by mere peasants, he opened the doors to the hut, he wasn't anywhere near the time he knew. Inutashio pulled out the Silver necklace with a blue crescent moon on it and said an ancient incantation, it glowed bright blue then faded back. Inutashio smirked he knew the necklace would only react to him or Sesshomaru… Inutashio knew that he wouldn't survive long enough to see the young child again.

Inutashio had a letter in his pocket; the child was wrapped in a blanket, then another blanket of purple silk. He walked up to the door, he placed the child down and put the necklace around her neck, he knew she would never take it off for some reason, maybe somehow she would know that these people where her real parents… in any case he placed the letter on top of her and knocked on the door loudly three times then he ran back to were the old well was situated, he heard the door open then jumped… her life was up to her know he had done all he could for her.

Mrs. Higurashi opened the door to find a child sleeping soundlessly; she was barely a month old. She bent down and picked up the child, she had black hair and she opened her eyes for two seconds and Mrs. Higurashi saw the most beautiful eyes she had ever seen, she saw the crescent moon necklace on she knew it was probably from her parents and one day will tell her how she was found.

"For now you will be my daughter until I feel its time for you to know the truth" Mrs. Higurashi said kindly to the child.

Mrs. Higurashi went up stairs and placed the child on the spare bedrooms, futon. She was staying up for her husband; she thought the knock was him for he normally forgot his keys. Oh now maybe I can read the letter Mrs. Higurashi thought to herself after placing the child gently on the Futon and sitting by her. She carefully opened the envelope, she saw the writing it was exquisite and seemed to be written in ancient Japanese.

"I'm glad I took that class in University" Mrs. Higurashi thought to herself.

Dear holder of this letter,

I am here to inform you that , this child has been in trouble for a while, so I ask for you to take care of her for now please… and her name is Kagome .

Thank you

I.

Mrs. Higurashi smiled, whoever this was knew that the child was a valuable one and she would take good care of her until the time came for her to face her destiny.

"You have your whole life ahead of you Kagome, I hope you live it to the most" Mrs. Higurashi said to Kagome.
