The road of life.

Summary: Kakashi had always walked along his path of life, not expecting to ever have his heart stolen by a wandering miko of all things, but alas the path of life is a long winding road, and ninjas should always expect the unexpected, especially when the shikon miko is concerned.

Note: This is a drabble series meaning that chapters will be 100 words. There may be a few exceptions later on but they will be far and few. If you belive that a good story can't be told with chapters on such a small scale, please leave now. For everyone else, I hope you enjoy.

Also, Please note, English isn't my first language. If you see any spelling mistakes please let me know!

Chapter 1: Legend.

There once was a time when demons ruled and roamed the land alongside the humans. It was peaceful for the most part, and prosperous, but it all changed.

An evil hanyou called Naraku had caused terror amongst all the peoples, human and demon alike. Fuelled by the shikon shards he carried, Naraku caused havoc and anguish wherever he went.

Out of fear, there were few who opposed him. An unlikely group formed, Human, hanyou and youkai, all seeking the shards to re-create the shikon no tama to finally take Naraku down for good.

Higurashi Kagome, Miko, was one of them.
