Our story starts in a small village in Edo Japan or as more commonly known as the War in States Era. A little village girl, is running through the fields with her friends. Kagome. She is a whole 7 summers old, with the darkest black hair that shines in the mid day sun. Her eyes were the deepest blue that it was like looking into the jewels of her pure, good hearted soul. Her four friends, Sango, her best friend that she considered her like a sister ever since they met. Sango was training to become a demon slayer with her younger brother Kohaku, Miroku was the son of a very powerful monk, by the name of Monk Meyatu. Then there was Hojo, kind, caring, polite and had a secret crush on Kagome ever since anyone could remember. Of course Kagome was oblivious to this because she only considered him as a friend. Then there was the bright red haired fox kit that lived near the village with his father, Shippo.

Young Kagome and her friends were in the midst of playing a game of chase me, when a streak of silvery, white zoomed by them. The children stopped their playing and turned when they heard a shrill cry. The children were scared and took off back to their village. As they were running, Kagome got the feeling of someone was hurt. She changed course and headed in the direction of the forest where she felt the feeling.

When she reached the edge of the forest that surrounded her village, she stopped for a minute. She looked into the dark forest, she was a little afraid to go in by herself. For you see, she wasn't allowed passed the boundaries of the village for evil demons roamed free in there. However she just couldn't shake the feeling that someone or thing needed her. So she took a deep breath and entered the forest.

Kagome walked for little less then half an hour, when she started to hear someone crying.

'I wonder who that could be?' thought Kagome. She approached quietly, hiding her aura and smell like her mother had taught her. When she came to the edge of the clearing, she stopped and gently moved the tree branch aside that was covering her view.

There in the clearing was a dried up well and sitting beside it was a little boy with white silvery hair. He was dressed in a white pants and shirt. His sash was yellow and blue that flowed behind him, and on his shoulder was this big fluffy thing that seemed to be attached to him. The little boy was crying his heart out and Kagome just couldn't stand it and walked out of her hiding spot, only to wrap her tiny arms around his shoulder.

(Sesshoumaru's P.O.V)

(Earlier that day)

Sesshoumaru was with his mother, in her room. She had been very sick and was dying. Sesshoumaru knew that is was because she had given up living because of his father, Lord InuTashio, Lord of the Western Lands, had taken another mate. A HUMAN at that, and got her pupped. His father nowadays couldn't seem to be bothered with his hair and mate. As he was overjoyed to be with his new mate, it made Sesshoumaru sick how his father would pay all of his time to the Lady Izayoi and none to him or his mother. His attention turned back to his mother when he heard her speak.

Sesshoumaru's mother says: "Ah…Sesshoumaru..." she reaches her hand up to her pups face. "A…My handsome son, I'm sorry that I have to leave you, but promise me something". She says in a weak voice.

Sesshoumaru: "What is it that you wish of me to do?" his face showed none of the pain that he was in, but if you saw his eyes they were full of pain. He hoped that she would tell him to go and kill that human, but he was surprised at what he heard. "Don't hate your father and turn into him. I want you to find someone who will open your heart and that you let them into yours. Don't become cold my son and shut yourself off from the world. Live…" and with that she left this world.

At that moment his father showed up at her door. He saw his mate die and his son on the bed with her dead body. He could tell that his son was very upset with the loss of his mother. He entered the room and stood behind his son. When his son finally noticed his presence, he turned and faced him. His son's eyes had gone blood red, in turn he glared down at his son. He watched his son stand and then attack him.

Sesshoumaru was in a blood rage. He knew that his father was there standing at the door, watching his mother die. He was hurt that his father didn't do anything to save his mother and attacked his father. After a while of fighting he managed to score a major hit that would put his father out for at least a few weeks. His father let out a cry of pain and collapsed down on the floor. Sesshoumaru at this point let out a howl, a cry that had all of the sadness of the loss of his mother. He just couldn't take it and when he turned he met the eyes of the woman that had caused it all. Lady Izayoi was standing there with her stomach showing the pup that she now carried. With hatred in his eyes Sesshoumaru left the castle.

He raced from the castle into the forest. Where he was heading he didn't know, all he knew was that he just had to leave. He ran for what seemed forever. He didn't know when he entered a field, or when he passed a strange group of children playing. He just kept on running hoping that the memory of his mother dying would just fade away. He collapsed in a clearing beside an old dry well. It was here that he started to cry, and cry he did.

He was so upset that he didn't even sense the three pairs of eyes watching him. He didn't noticed when a little human girl walked over to him. He did however, feel when she put her small, tinny, fragile arms around him. At first he was in shock then he leaned into her and held onto her shirt as he cried.

Kagome had felt when he started to cry onto her close. She started to rub his back to help calm him down. When she spoke it was in a soft whisper, "Shhh, shhhh, what's wrong that has you so upset?" "My mother is dead." he cried into her shoulder.

Kagome held him closer and sent out a calming aura to surround them as she tried to calm him down. Sesshoumaru felt a calming aura from this person who was holding him. He left his tired head only to be stunned into silence by a pair of bright , blue, angel eyes. Sesshoumaru after a while found his voice again, "Who... who are you?" "My name's Kagome, here."

She hands him a white cloth that has supposedly her initials on it. He just sat there, so Kagome took her hanky and wiped away his tears. "There now, no one should be this sad on such a beautiful day. Your mother is now apart of the earth, and she would most likely not want you to be sad." "But I miss her", he cries out and a new wave of tears came. "Its all that humans fault" he snarls out through clenched teeth. "If she hadn't have come she wouldn't have made father abandon us. She drove my father away from us. It's all her fault."

Before he could utter another word he was once again in the girls arms. They seemed to hold out the emptiness in his heart that threatened to overcome and consume him in darkness. In her embrace he felt a calm and not just by the aura that she was making to help him. He felt calmed by her sent and warmth of her body pressed against his. He was on the verge of falling asleep when a sent came to his nose, a sent that put him on high alert. He stiffened like a board in her arms. She took note of this change but acted like nothing was happening.

"Would you like to come and stay with me for a while? I'm sure my mama wouldn't mind". He looked surprised at her for a minute, but nodded his head anyway. Just then the demons that had followed Sesshoumaru came out and blocked their exits. Both of them were spider demons and they looked hungry. The one with the white strip on its back spoke the two kids. "Well, well, well what do we have here brother. It seems that we have caught ourselves two tasty treats." "Yes I do believe that we have." said the other with the black body. Sesshoumaru was in front of Kagome as if protecting her. She on the other hand just laid a hand on his shoulder and leaned in to whisper something softy, "Don't be afraid I won't let them hurt you." Puzzled by her statement, he looked over his shoulder at her. Her eyes had gone bright blue and her aura grew in waves. She wrapped her arms around him, now it looked like she was protecting him. Her aura grew and consumed them in its protective light.

Soon the light died away and they were now in a small room. Sesshoumaru was sitting on the floor with the little girl lying in his arms. For a second he thought that she was dead then he heard her heart beating. Once he was sure that she was safe, without moving he took in his surroundings. It looked to be like a child's room. There were toys all over the floor and many pictures on the walls of drawings they he supposed we her friends and family. He was torn from his thoughts by the pattering of little feet. To his surprise there standing at the door was...
