Chapter 1

"We can't hold him back!" A man yelled as a battle waged on. "We have to evacuate the children!"

The children where all huddled in the corner, there where at least 10 of them. "Evacuate us? Has it become that bad?" A little girl asked, looking to her brother for an answer.

"I guess it has." Her brother answered in return looking at her with saddened eyes. She could not bear look at him.

"What if this means the end?" She asked again looking at the battle in front of her.

"Will you stop talking of such nonsense freak!" a little boy yelled. The girl looked at him startled but she then knew all to well why he had yelled at her. The children where not mature as her and her brother where. They knew death was there and they flocked to a corner and cowered, awaiting their time.

"Children!" a woman spoke looking at them with a small smile but the smile showed no hope. "I will get you out of here so that you may live on."

The little girl looked at her brother as he scoffed at the woman. "Brother, we may as well."

"I don't like the sound of fleeing from a battle!"

"We have no choice in this; we are too young, no matter how mature we are." Her brother sighed at the comment, he knew she was right.

"Then lets go," he said in defeat. She smiled at him and hugged him.

The woman watched the two and shook her head; she could never get why they acted so mature. They where only six for crying out loud! She shook her head again and set her mind to the task at hand, if she couldn't get the most of the children out safely then at least she had to get those two out.

"Children lets go!" She whispered hastily gathering them towards her. Once together the woman led them quietly to through the village, or at least what was left of it. The children kept going not looking at the surroundings, except for the little girl and her brother. They wanted to remember every inch of it so that once day, if things didn't go well, they could rebuild it.

As the other children went along with the woman, the two stopped at what use to be their house. They smiled sadly as they remembered fond memories of their years as little babies. It seemed the woman didn't even notice that they where missing and to the little boy, that was good. He never really liked her.

"Brother?"

"Yes?"

"Do you suppose we act too mature for our age?" Her brother smiled at her taking her hand and leading her to a different way out of the village.

"We might just be . . ." was all he said looking at the sky. She smiled and then looked at him strangely as he led her into a dark forest.

"What are we doing here? Where are the others?" She asked looking at her brother fearfully. The other children weren't with them because he had taken the forbidden route through the forest.

"We're not supposed to be here!"

"Sister, that woman works for that evil man! If we followed her then we would be dead as well, no matter what her mind told us."

"How did you know that?"

"Her eyes gave it away, it was the colour." His sister laughed at him as they continued their way down the path of the forbidden route. As they continued down the path, the sky got darker, the trees got thicker and it became quieter by the second. Soon it was too quiet for their liking, especially the girls.

"It's too quiet!" she wailed as tears began too pool into her eyes as she clung to her brother.

"Sister, be quiet, I'm trying to listen," he said trying to soothe his crying sister. He looked around; waiting for someone to attack but what he saw wasn't what he expected. There was a little boy, a bit older then them by a year or so, standing in front of them. "Do you live here?" He got no answer; the boy just kept staring in astonishment. It was as if no one had been here before and that was probably true.

His sister looked around and saw the boy too and titled her head curiously as the tears came to a sudden stop. "Hello," she whispered softly hoping he would here her.

The little boy looked at the two of them and smiled sadly at them as his little hand began to wave at them. Before anything happened though a big wave of miasma came into through the forest.

The little girl ducked and began to crawl somewhere, trying to find safety as her brother stood tall and proud. "Brother!" she yelled looking at him, trying to get him to safety as well. He wouldn't budge; he was standing his ground, waiting for the evil man too come and fight him. She began to cry gently as she made her way to the bushes where the little boy they had just seen was. Assuming he was still there.

The evil man got there and looked at the two of them with a smug smirk on his face. The boy looked at the man with a confident look in his eyes which made the man's smirk get a little bigger. What made his day was the little girl cowering near the bushes and the other little boy darting away. "You two are perfect," he whispered to them and himself as he looked at them with eyes of greedy thoughts. As he walked closer the boy in front of him stood his ground and started looking at him with vengeful eyes. "You will need to be shown your place in this world."

"What place!" The girl yelled looking at the man, regaining her posture. The boy looked at his sister, startled for a bit but then smiled, knowing now that they where going down together.

"You will shut your mouth!" The man spat looking at the girl and using but his powers to throw her into the nearby tree. She hit the tree forcefully and her eyes drifted closed, everything around her turned black. She was unconscious.

"DON'T HURT MY SISTER!" The little boy screamed as he charged at the man; only to be flung into the tree next to his sister. He tried to stay conscious as he latched onto the tree and started to get up but it was a sad attempt. His world was spinning and his eyes felt heavy.

"Your attempt is futile, give up now and I'll let you and your sister live." The boy could not hear any of the words the man was saying to him as the world blacked out.

She woke up, as her head pounded in her small head. She didn't know what was going on, all she could remember was yelling at a strange man, nothing more. She tried to move around, the position she was in was uncomfortable, but found she couldn't. Something was holding her back and what ever it was, was cold.

"You're awake, finally." A voice drawled. It was the voice of the man that had followed them into the forest.

"Where am I?" She asked looking to see where the owner of the voice was.

"Call it, your new home." He came into the light as he said this looking at her with a smug smirk. "My name is Naraku, though of course you already knew that but you will be calling me master from now on."

The girl looked at him with strong eyes as her vision became less blurry and her thoughts where reorganized. "Master? I think not!" She spat on the ground looking at him, venom lacing her words. "I listen to no one!"

The man walked briskly up to her and placed his hand at her throat, choking her. "That mouth of yours will be the death of you if you don't shut it!" He released her as she coughed. "You may talk big but you're only six so for your loud mouth you're going to be punished!"

He walked away from her and flicked another light on, showing her, her parents and her brother who was chained to the wall across from her. She was in shock as she watched the man with narrowed eyes. "You better not be planning on hurting my mommy and daddy!"

"Oh I'm planning on more then that. I'm planning on sending them some place special." The effect of the sentence was shown when she watched Naraku sharpen a long sword. "Maybe this will show the both of you who your master is."

Once done sharpening her got up and walked towards their parents. He smirked as he began his torture on them. He began by chopping their dad's limbs off before actually killing him. He then took pleasure in killing their mother as he carved out bits of her skin before finally severing her head from her body. He then wiped the sword clean looking at the twos' crying faces. He smirked and walked towards the girl.

"You monster!" she yelled as tears poured from her eyes.

He smiled as he took the sword and cut her garments open, revealing a corset. "Why wear a corset my dead? You have nothing to put in it."

She sniffed and spat angrily at him, "you wear pants don't you?"

His eyes turned red as he punched her face. "As I said in the forest, you will learn your place!" His words held venom and promises that made her cower. "That's better."

He then turned away from her and made his way to her brother. He looked up and down the boy then asked, "What are your names?" The boy did not answer, instead he spat in the Naraku's face. He punched the boy's gut, "I asked you a question and I expect you to answer it."

The little girl chuckled from behind Naraku as she said quietly, "I think your expecting too much from us."

"One day, you will bow done in respect!" Naraku yelled as he left the room in a rage.
