A/N: thank you very much for possibly reading this story it is my first so yay ..

Disclaimer: I sadly so not own Inuyasha i wish i did but i don't. (sob)


running away is never easy especially when you live in feudal japan. first of all there are demons everywhere wanting to kill you and eat you. second there are plenty of thieves/bandits, killers, rapists, and so on. third when your a young girl whose weak and helpless you might as well just go back home or you can go ahead and be eaten, killed, raped, kidnapped, and whatever else that might happen. but if you just happen to have powers like say you can shoot sacred arrows and be able to fend for yourself then you just might have a slight chance of living in the forests of feudal japan but its a very small chance.

but before you read on like most people do i must warn you you may not like what happens for it may become quite gruesome but it may also be quite sweet you may never know well i know but you don't so I'm giving you a fair warning now. if you don't like feudal japan, demons, love/romance, mikos/priestesses, hanyous/half demons, mercenaries, demon slayers, or possible action then i advise you to turn away and look for another story now. last chance im warning you if you don't like it its not my fault…ok you asked for it I'm going to start the story of kagome the young miko apprentice of lady kikyo the great miko protector of the shikon jewel.

now this young girl named kagome was born far away from lady kikyo's village but on her travels she found the infant abandoned left for the demons to devour her but what was strange was that the demons didn't try to eat the child instead they were keeping her warm. they were being kind to her which is quite strange for demons for they are usually quite hostile to any who dare trespass their territory. lady kikyo knowing this was astounded by how tame the demons were but she worried for the infant so she took her from the demons so that she could raise the child herself. she was surprised when the demons didn't attack her. lady kikyo returned to her village the next morning with the infant fast asleep in her arms. she looked at her smiling and whispered "i will name you kagome." she went to her hut where her sister kaede was waiting for her with breakfast ready.

"good morning sister and welcome back. how was your tri- what are you holding? is that… is that a child??"her sister asked astonished.

"good morning kaede and yes this is a child and from now on were going to take care of her" lady kikyo replied smiling at the child.

" oh OK whats her name?" kaede asked resisting the urge to yell at her sister but she knew she would only get into trouble if she did so she stayed as calm as she could.t not tell

"her name is kagome and yes i know its strange for me to bring an infant back to our home but i couldn't help it she was abandoned in the forest full of demons."

"oh i see um if you don't mind me asking sister but how are we going to feed this child?" kaede asked trying to absorb what her sister was doing.

"i believe i will be able to find milk for the child don't worry my dear sister i will take care of her myself but you must not tell her that we found her in the forest. don't ask why just don't it's for her own safety"after saying this kikyo left with kagome to find some milk for her when she wakes up.
