In a hospital in London, England a woman screams in agony as her first daughter is born into the world. Hillary Amore Granger is born at 4:00am, her sister Hermione Anne Granger, three minutes later exactly. While the girls are identical twins, they don't really look it except in the hair and eyes. Their faces are different, Hillary's being more angular and Hermione's softer. Hillary growls at the doctor as he takes her away from her mother and sister, surprising everyone, while Hermione kept utterly silent, watching everything.

Very different indeed.

Lady Fate smiles sadly down on the baby girl, growling at the doctor as if demanding to be left alone with her mother and sister. The warrior's blood in the child is already active, but it will be needed soon anyway. That little one is going to have a very hard life, and Fate will do everything in her power to help the child along, for she has a large part to play in a war that is believed to be over, but has actually barely started.

That little one is destined for great things, but also for a lot of pain.

Five years later

Mrs. Granger watches her two beautiful daughters play in the front yard of their modest home with a broad smile on her face. Though Hillary is a trouble maker, she is always watching her younger sister's back and is always protecting her from things that could hurt her. She looks into the dirty dishes that she is washing, but looks up sharply when she hears Hermione scream and Hillary...cursing.

She sees Jack, her long-time ex, dragging the little girl away from Hermione, who is on the ground crying for her sister. Hillary growls and takes a bite at her biological father, but it does nothing except make him hit her across the face, knocking the child out cold. Mrs. Granger runs outside, trying to save her eldest daughter, but she is not fast enough and before she can get to them Jack shoves Hillary into his car and they leave.

Hermione and her mother sit on the grass of their front lawn for hours, just staring at the place that Hillary was last seen. Neither can believe that she is gone, very possibly for good. That is how Mr. Granger finds them when he returns home from work and they explain what happened. The family mourns and cries for the loss of their oldest child and their twin sister, but eventually they have to move on.

And move on they did.

While they never forgot the little girl that would always protect her sister, they did push her to the backs of their minds to try to move on with their lives. When she was 11, Hermione Granger got a letter from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry telling her that she was a witch. That moment in time changed the families lives forever.

Hermione became best friends with Ron Weasley and Harry Potter, the boy-who-lived and her life was never the same again seeing as how she was pulled into a war between good and evil.

Meanwhile in Japan, the little girl stolen from all that she loved became a warrior of unparalleled caliber. She was forced into combat against various demons, both powerful and not so powerful and she was beaten more times then she could remember, leaving her with wicked scars all over her body, but she learned. She learned to fight both armed and unarmed and she learned that not all demons were evil. Along with those lessons she also learned that there was nothing that could stop the determination of a human who wanted to live. She lost track of how many times she was badly injured, injured to the point that there should have been no way for her to survive, and yet she lived through everything. She defeated all of her opponents in the end and slowly gained the respect of the demon world, enough respect to be trained as if she herself were a demon. She rose to the occasion, often times defying the nature of her human body and doing things that no human should have ever been able to do. As this happened so did something else...she changed her name. She became the fighter known as Icy Youko, or Icy Fox and all who entered the ring with her knew that to do so was to take their lives into their hands as an offering to the youngest warrior in the rings. Little did anyone know at that time that death, and the creation of a demon would change everything that anyone in the wizarding world ever believed in...and that the missing Granger would turn the tide of the war against Voldemort.
