...Chapter 1: Seal the Child ...
The moon hung high in the sky, casting its light across the world like a blanket of protection from the shadows. Within it's light, a figure moved swiftly through the trees, their speed making them but a blur to the eye. Their cloak whipped out behind them, yet the hood stayed firmly in place over their head. The figure came upon a clearing, stilled suddenly by the sense of purity.
"Come out ningen." The figure called, the sharp yet young feminine voice sounding through the woods. A snicker was heard off to her left, and she jumped, narrowly missing an arrow. Her eyes strayed to that of a miko, her bow taut and readied with an arrow pointed at her.
"You are fast for a youkai child." The miko stated. Her bow did not lower. The cloaked figure regarded her coldly, making no move to disarm the miko. After a few long moments, the figure spoke.
"You cannot kill me Miko." She stated, her voice almost laced with boredom. The miko smiled.
"That would be useful, if I had truly come to kill you. You are the intended mate of the Great Inuyoukai's son, heir of the western lands. As a holy miko, I cannot allow this union to happen, Seykura." A small frown appeared on the hooded figures face.
"You wish to seal me, Miko." Came the reply. Though she appeared to be an average teen, to the yokai she was a still very much a pup. Only three decades old, she was the equivalent to a fifteen year old human. The battle trained miko in front of her may not have the power to seal her, but that did not mean the other three hiding in the brush could not. Seykura weighed her options. Though as strong as she was, a fight with four mikos could prove difficult for her still underdeveloped powers, and running was against her inuyokai blood. It was not that the four mikos were strong, because in truth they were not. There strength held no strength or abnormalities that set them apart. But combined together they made a formidable group against a youkai child. She felt a small inkling of fear settle in the base of her spine, and she thought briefly of her mother, who was eagerly awaiting her return. She silently cursed her stupidity for traveling so far from her mother's protective care.
"It is for the fate of the humankind that we seal you, youkai!" With that, the miko released her arrow. The holy powers flared, and for a second, Seykura was frozen in fear. At the last minute, she dodged the arrow, only to dodge another. The other mikos rushed from the brush, shooting their arrows. Seykura whipped out her hand, her poison whip slicing clean through one of the mikos, killing her instantly. The death of their comrade renewed their strength, and the mikos concentrated their powers. Seykura narrowly missed the arrows, her body fighting back the exhaustion at having to dodge so many times. Her cloak had fallen off of her, landing somewhere in the distance. Her icy silver hair cascaded down her body in waves of silk, her pale smooth skin reflecting the light from the moon almost perfectly. Her cool lavender eyes glared at the miko approaching with her arrow trained at her. Before she could jump out of the way, a miko to her right through something at her. The miko she had met first upon the clearing shot it with her arrow, and Seykura felt a pulse of holy energy as the arrow hit the object. The object disappeared are reappeared around her neck. Immediately her eyes widened in fear. They were sealing her youkai energy with the pendant! The second she felt the energy consume her, she knew she had lost. The strength left her body, and she crumbled to ground. The mikos approached her warily, their bows drawn and arrows held taut.
"Bring her to the temple. There we will seal her in its deepest chamber. No Youkai would dare step foot in this temple." And so was done. The mikos carried to young youkai's body back to the temple, and hid her power under the radiance of purity from the temple. None were to know the location of the youkai named Seykura. It was not long before the inuyokais came to search for the pup, especially a young youkai male by the name of Sesshomaru. He killed the three mikos who had attacked her, yet never found his betrothed. Setkura stayed imprisoned in her seal for centuries. However, though she was sealed, it did not stop her from growing, and aging. Deep within her slumber, her powers grew. Thus had been the miko's mistake. They did not take into account how much the youkai's power would grow, thus weakening their seal. It was only a matter of time before the seal would begin to break.

Worry not fanfic lovers, this is not how short my chapters usually are. I believe, however, that a short prolouge will do for this story, so bear with me. Please feel free to review, even if you wish to tell how truly horrible it is. I have thick skin.
Sincerely;
