Prologue

Hey! So, this is my first Inuyahsa fanfiction, and I do know that the chapters are kinda short – but there are gonna be a lot of them, just so you know.

Anyways, if any of you have read my other really bad first fanfics, I apologize for not updating in almost a year, but there were some – uh –complications, and I had to stop for a awhile. But, if for some crazy reason you actually liked those fanfics, I am seriously considering deleting both of them. So if you want them saved from utter destruction; tell me! In review form, or else, by 6/1/11 they are coming down. Anyways, I haven't seen the Inuyahsa the Final Act episodes yet because they don't have them in English yet, so if I screw up anything that's supposed to happen then I'm sorry!So, you know what comes next:

Summary – Kagome is always shown as the weak, defenseless, and helpless one. But after another attack, Kagome meets someone who might just help her get her act together.

So, I'll stop boring you and get on with the story, but I can't start before I say:

A/N: I don't own Inuyasha! :(

Prologue

I couldn't even try to compare who I am now to who I was then. We're almost different people. It reminds me of when I used try so hard to get Inuyasha to see that I'm my own person, that no matter how similar we look, I wasn't Kikyou. He doesn't make that mistake anymore. Now, it's so painfully obvious, no one mistakes us.

No more of those short school uniforms that made fighting so hard –that was taught to me by Kanji, the first piece of good advice she gave and not the last.

My full spiritual powers are now under my control. No longer do I fight with just my bow and arrows. I carry a katana on my hip, one that I am very skilled in wielding. My normal garb is that of a fully trained miko; a kimono that looks identical to Kikyou's. But my warrior wear is much different. I wear it constantly underneath my kimono, much like Sango does. She is actually the one who gave it to me, she said that it resembles Midoriko's, and I was honored to take it.

The katana remains in a silver sheath, while my bow is slung over one shoulder and my arrows over the other. My skills now surpass Sango's, Miroku's, and Inuyasha's, but I don't boast.

I no longer need a protector like I once did. But I don't verbalize it, it reminds Inuyasha of those days, the ones he experienced after I vanished on the field.

He misses having someone to protect. He doesn't say it but I can tell.

And sometimes, I miss being protected.

Well...That's the prologue, I know its super short, but can I get a review? The first chapter is already typed, so all I want is one review and I'll put it up. Make it two though and I'll start the second chapter way earlier than I'm planning. And sorry if any of the characters are really OOC, even though you only heard from Kagome.

REVIEW!It only takes two seconds and there is no charge! :p
