Alone
Chapter 1: It Begins
My name is Rain, I have been alone all my life. I don't know who my parents are, and why they left me…was it because I was weak? We're they not proud of me? I hate the fact that I know nothing of myself, I feel lost and empty. I live all by myself, except my pet panther Ray; I live in what is my parent's mansion.
I found it by asking people who they were, and people told me that they were in control of North Japan, until they died. I didn't tell them who I was, I wasn't sure if these people were my parents, only their names were left with me, a note telling me that they had to leave, they did not tell me why though. Kameko and Raidon Higurashi, their names haunt me, day in, day out. I know that after my mother died, my father left to be with another lady, a human to be exact.
I am a Dog demon, a black "blood-lust" dog demon. Blood-lust, they say that my kind killed just for fun, well I'm 18, alone and haven't eaten in a couple of months, so I doubt I'll be killing now and Ray is also a demon, panther demon. I now know how to speak with him, in his language. Every couple of weeks, we run out, just to stretch our legs. On top of the building where no one will see us, only during the night, during the morning, I conceal my true form to all the humans and I will be going to school soon. I only do it so they think that I'm normal, I bumped into the strangest person, she was a priestess, I could tell, but I could also smell demon on her…why? She was too happy for my comfort, so I left her talking to herself, I never smiled towards anyone in my life, only Ray, he is my only true friend, I help him, and he helps me.

My home is on Mount Fuji, very peaceful and very beautiful, there's a view of the city and my backyard is the wild. As I sit on my balcony, I hear the wind pass my ears I could tell it's going to be a nice day. Ray come up to me and says,
"I hope that you got all you school supplies, wouldn't have to kick you out again"
I smile and say,
"Don't worry I got everything, I just don't want to bump into Kagome again, she's a real pain in the neck"
"What if she goes to your school?"
"Then I'll die"
"Well I'll know if you don't come home tomorrow"
I smile, stand up and say,
"I think I should sleep then, I want to meditate before I leave tomorrow"
Ray just nods his head then walks inside,
"This going to be one hell of a journey"
I walk inside and go to bed, ready for school tomorrow.

Kagome's P.O.V
On my way catching up to Inuyasha, Sango and Miroku, I bumped into a girl just about 3 years older then me. She said her name was Rain, when I asked her if she wanted to hang out with me and my friends she just turned and left, talk about rude, but I still had to catch up to the others so I just started to run. When I finally caught up with them they turned around and then Inuyasha said,
"Hey Kags why did…"
Inuyasha walks up to me, he starts to sniff me, everyone around starts to laugh, I push off Inuyasha and say,
"Inuyasha, what are you doing?"
"You smell like a demon"
"Yeah there are lots around, you know that"
"Well, this kind of demon is rare"
I think back to Kita…she's the rare demon, but what kind, I take a step back from Inuyasha and say,
"What kind of demon?"
"I dunno…"
"What should we do?"
Sango and Miroku walk up to us, Sango declares,
"Well if it's rare then we should help right? I mean it's all alone…"
Without thinking I blurted out,
"Her name is Rain!"
Miroku looked shocked and said,
"You talked to her, the rare demon?"
I looked down at my shoes and said,
"Well I knew she was a demon, it's not like she attacked me or anything, she just stood there and listened, her face showed no emotion…"
Inuyasha whispered,
"Sound like a certain ice cube we know"
"Listen I didn't know she was rare demon, I'm not that strong yet"
Sango put one hand on my shoulder and said,
"We know it's not your fault and the important thing is we find out what kind of demon she is, and then we help her"
I stood there and nodded my head, I just ratted out Kita, I'm sure she could have taken care of herself. My friends and I are going to make it harder for her live; we'll probably just make her frustrated.
We started to walk to Inuyasha's house; I knew who we were going to see, Inuyasha's older brother, Sesshoumaru. Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru are both dog demons, there father is Tashio, head of Tashio Co. The most feared demon known and Sesshoumaru second in line.
We walk up to the door, when it opens for us, it was Tashio. He smiles and let's us in, Tashio grabs my hand and says,
"Here's my son's love"
"Um…hel-hello Mister Tashio sir"
"Come now don't be scared"
"Father we have a question to ask you"
"I'm sorry son, but I'm late for a meeting, I'll see you kid's later"
With that Tashio is in his limo and gone. I look at Inuyasha and shrug, we know who we have to see now, and he probably won't want to see us though.
Once we get to Sesshoumaru's room, we don't even have to knock, we hear,
"Enter if you must…"
We walk in and see Sesshoumaru standing at the window, the sun was going down. Inuyasha steps up to him and says,
"Sesshoumaru, smell Kagome"
I roll my eyes and thinks that, he said it the wrong way. Sesshoumaru turns around and states,
"I do not smell any human"
Inuyasha rolls his eyes,
"I mean the sent…"
Sesshoumaru walks up to me and takes a quick sniff at my neck, takes a couple of steps back then says,
"Well, Well, Well…I wonder why she left you alive, I heard that, that kind of demon is dead, the last 2 died years ago…"
I lift my head and looked at Sesshoumaru,
"What do you mean?"
"What I mean is, it's impossible for you people to have found this…certain demon…there are no more"
"But I saw her, in flesh!"
"A female…interesting, she's probably hiding, trying to survive. There are certain people out there looking for her kind…"
"What do you mean?"
"Humans…they know of demons and all kinds, but this female you found, WAS considered the most dangerous demon you could find…they say that they killed for fun, in the most gruesome ways."
Everyone stared at Sesshoumaru with wide eyes; Inuyasha stepped forward and said,
"God Kagome…so you could have gotten yourself killed?"
"She didn't do anything, she just stood there, listening to me, she didn't look at me, didn't talk to me, nothing!"
Everyone was quiet, Kita wasn't dangerous…I could tell she is in pain, she is not harmful or cold, she…she's depressed.
I walked back to the door, but before I left I said,
"I'm going to help her, she's the only one of her kind and I'm sure she doesn't have friends…"
No one's P.O.V
Everyone watched Kagome leave, Sesshoumaru was the first to speak,
"She is possibly right…if that demon is so blood thirsty, she would have killed your human wench Inuyasha"
Inuyasha turned around and asked,
"What kind of demon is she anyways?"
"She is known as, The Black blood-lust Dog Demon…most people call them gods, or goddess because they have certain powers that most demons do not have, wonderful, but dangerous powers…"
With what information they had, they were going to help Kagome, the dangerous powers that demon goddess had might kill Kagome. Inuyasha was a few steps in front of his friends thinking,
"This is going to be interesting…I'm 15 years old and I'm on a search for a dangerous demon, GREAT!"
