A three-year-old Kagome ran as quickly as her short legs could carry her through the woods with tears running down her face 'I never should have disobeyed Daddy!' she thought franticly. Her father had always told her not to go out of the castle without an escort, but Kagome had been so sure that just taking a few steps out of the castle wouldn't have hurt anyone. So she'd evaded her babysitter for the day and snuck out of the castle, but as soon as she'd gotten out of earshot of the castle, a big snake demon had attacked her. Kagome gave a startled cry as she tripped on a tree root and fell to the ground, she landed on her stomach and tried to crawl away, but the snake demon took this moment to grab her in its coils and begin to constrict her.
All of a sudden a rock came flying out of nowhere and hit the snake straight between the eyes "Let her go!!" a young boy's voice shouted from somewhere to the right. Kagome struggled to turn her head to see the person who shouted. The boy was a little older than Kagome, about six years old if Kagome had to guess. He had black hair that just brushed his shoulders and amethyst eyes that were currently narrowed in anger. But the most distinctive feature by far was the purple diamond mark on his forehead. He was dirty and looked to be hungry, but he still glared angrily at the snake holding Kagome captive. The boy snarled and shouted "Didn't you hear me?! Let her go!!" the snake finally gave a hissing laugh as it tightened its coils around the now struggling Kagome.
The snake gave another hissing laugh as he taunted "What are you going to do about it? You think a brat can sssssstop me?" the boy clenched his fist in anger, but before he could respond someone did it for him.
"Maybe he can't, but I sure as hell can." the voice said and all three of them turned to see a long, white haired man with glacial blue eyes glaring at the snake demon with his arms crossed. The snake demon hissed in fear, having not expected the great general Blizzard to appear. The snake demon released Kagome, who was struggling to breathe, and turned and slithered away as fast as he could.
Blizzard smirked coldly before looking over at Kagome, who was now sitting up while the black-haired boy patted her on the back with a worried expression on his face. The boy jerked his head up and looked at Blizzard in fear when the general walked over and knelt by Kagome's side. The Snow Leopard smiled gently as he asked Kagome "Are you alright?" Kagome looked up and just nodded in relief at seeing her babysitter for the day. Blizzard smirked suddenly and said "Good, because your father is going to kill you when he finds out that you disobeyed him." Kagome gulped.
Kagome got on her knees and begged "Please Blizzy, don't tell Daddy!" Blizzard twitched at the nickname but otherwise sighed and nodded his head in resignation, to which Kagome cheered at having blackmailed-..I mean, convinced her babysitter to keep her little run-in with the snake demon a secret. Blizzard turned his head and blinked at having just noticed the boy was watching the interaction between him and Kagome with wide eyes.
Blizzard raised an eyebrow at the boy before asking "Who are you?"
The boy gulped before answering quietly, very unlike the angry boy who'd stood up to the giant snake demon "My name is Dasios."
Kagome piped up just then "I'm Kagome! And this is Blizzy!"
The snow leopard's jaw ticked before growling "The name is Blizzard!!"
Dasios giggled before remembering who Blizzard was, then he shut up and turned pale in fear. Kagome frowned at Dasios and scolded "Don't be afraid of ol' Blizzy, he won't hurt you."
Blizzard looked at Kagome and raised an eyebrow again as he asked teasingly "Oh? Why wouldn't I hurt him?"
Kagome huffed and said in a matter-of-fact tone "Because Dasi saved my life."
It took a moment for Blizzard to figure out who Dasi was, but when he did he chuckled at the fact that Kagome had given the boy a nickname so soon. He turned serious as he stood up and lifted Kagome into his arms before speaking "Well then, it would seem the Lord of the North is in your debt." Dasios looked shocked and stuttered as he tried to deny it, but Blizzard cut him off by raising his hand and continuing "And Lord Raidon always pays his debts." he smiled as he looked Dasios in the eye and said with a smirk "So let's get back to the castle so Lord Raidon doesn't worry to much." Dasios still looked shocked but nodded anyway and followed after Blizzard when he started walking back towards the castle.
--End Flashback--
Kagome blinked as she was drawn out of her memories. She looked at the black dog in front of her and asked in disbelief -Dasi?- the black dog, now identified as Dasios, perked up and grinned in joy at the fact that she remembered him. He'd been starting to think that Kagome had forgotten him completely since so much time had passed.
He closed the distance between them and nuzzled her fondly as he replied -Yes, it's me, Kagome- he beamed when Kagome tentatively nuzzled him back. Kagome couldn't stop her eyes from drooping, or the jaw-cracking yawn that escaped from her mouth a moment later 'Transforming so soon without the potion Yazi gave us wearing off must've taken a lot out of me.' she dimly thought as the world grew black and she hit the ground with a loud 'thud!' and was surrounded by a black light as she transformed back into her human form.
Dasios panicked slightly when Kagome fell, but calmed down when she transformed back into human form. He too decided it best to transform back, so he concentrated and was surrounded by a purple light. His form shrank until the light cleared to reveal a tall man who stood at about eye level with Sesshomaru. His black hair fell to his thighs, and his amethyst eyes sparkled with joy as he slowly cradled Kagome to him, trying not to look at her naked body. He shrugged off his outer haori before wrapping it closely around Kagome. He picked her up and was about to start walking when a giant emerald green dragon landed in front of him.
Even before emerald flames surrounded the dragon and he transformed, Dasios knew who he was and his gripped tightened on Kagome and pulled her closer as he snarled "Yazi." The dragon nodded as the transformation completed and the flames cleared away. Where a dragon once stood, was now a man with long, emerald green hair that went down to his knees, and ruby red eyes.
Yazi's eyes were wary as he replied "Dasios." he cleared his throat nervously before continuing "I can explain why I stole Kagome and Souta away that night, will you give me the chance to?" the silence was thick in the air…
