Prologue
The Explanation and Intuitive Feeling.
Kagome looked between her step brother, Yuuri and Wolfram...contemplating on where to start her story. Deciding to say a few things first, she turned to Yuuri and Wolfram.
"If I tell you, you two..." She glanced at Ken. "...three, must promise not to tell anyone. I don't want everyone knowing about my past and present life."
Wolfram and Yuuri exchanged looks before turning back to Kagome and nodding in a silent agreement.
"Alright then...try not to interrupt until I finish." Again they nodded. She leaned back against Wolfram's white horse, which had moved behind her once she had given Wolfram back his sword. "I suppose, the best place to start...would be the beginning."
"It would be preferred." Ken said.
"Alright then...I suppose it's safe to say...my story began when I turned fifteen...but the story that led to it...began 600 years before I was born. Actually, it started with a woman named Midoriko...she was a great priestess, the most powerful of her time. Subduing and purifying demons was a daily activity for her...that is...until the Great Demon War."
Wolfram frowned at the story, not liking it already. He hated miko's, priestesses and holy maidens, all of them, it didn't matter which one or who they were. He hadn't cared much or worried about them because they were supposedly...all gone... He didn't even hate them...he, feared them.
"Masses and hordes of demons flocked out of nowhere, taking villages by surprise as they headed towards her village that she protected. She donned her Miko garbs and some old armor, with just a single sword at her side. She fought for three days and three nights non stop, purifying and killing demons. The demons kept coming though, stronger and faster...eating the bodies of the weakened or hurt and dead. Doing so made them better then before...like upgrading. She still destroyed them all...until it came down to her final battle between three of the stronger and more intelligent demons. She couldn't go on any longer..." She fingered the shard of light pink in her hand.
"What happened?" Yuuri asked, his eyes staring down at the diamond shaped shard.
"She pulled everything she had left out and in the end...she met her end. She created a jewel called the Shikon No Tama...since she couldn't defeat these three demons...she trapped them within the jewel, along with herself, forever forced to fight a never ending battle. Then...50 years later...another story started...a hanyou Inu Demon named InuYasha, met Kikyou...the Jewels protector..." She continued telling the story of how both were indirectly betrayed by the other because of the puppeteer spider hanyou.
"Where do you come in though?" Wolfram inquired.
"I'm getting there, well...550 years later, I was in the well house on my family shrine and...was pulled in by a centipede demon. That's where I come in. The well, it turns out, was a portal to the past. It took me 500 years back in time, where I released InuYasha from the seal on the god tree. What's more, I shattered the Shikon Jewel..." She told them of her travels, every meeting, every friend, every enemy, every hot ass...
"KAGOME!" Kagome laughed sheepishly as she looked at her irritated cousin.
"What, there were a lot...most enemies...sadly...but still...anyways, aside from Bankotsu, Naraku, Hiten, Jakotsu—"
"Didn't you say Jakotsu was gay?" Wolfram asked.
"...so...him being gay didn't make him any less cute...as I was saying though, Miroku was cute too but that's about it. I already told you I had an infatuation with InuYasha...but...heh, one can only take so much of being compared to a dead walking corpse whore before they snap. In the end...he betrayed us anyways. We had managed to gain the allegiance of The Great One and The Great Sage. They fought along side of us...but it didn't make much of a difference, as Midoriko decided to intervene. If she hadn't we would have all died. The jewel had been almost completely finished, when I was teleported here with someone else. The Jewel was then shattered apart by Midoriko...so now—"
"Now you have to put it together...again." Wolfram finished.
"Pretty much."
"So...you said that this Sage guy and the Great One helped you?" Yuuri looked at Ken who sighed.
"She knows I am the Reincarnation of the Great Sage Yuuri."
"Yeah...uh, who else here is a reincarnation?" Wolfram and Yuuri raised their hands and she bit back a laugh. "I used to hate being a reincarnation, I always got compared to her, then I found out I wasn't her Reincarnation, I was Midoriko's reincarnation not Kikyou's."
Wolfram glared at her. "So what are you then?"
"Uh...a Demonic Miko?" She looked at Ken who shrugged. "I can't really answer that. I have Miko abilities...but...I'm a demon...so I would call myself a Demonic Miko...but that just makes me sound evil."
"How about a Holy Demon?" Yuuri asked.
"Yeah...I don't foresee that being a possibility. It sounds...glorified."
Ken laughed at his cousins antics.
"Well, I am not sure what you boys had planned for the rest of the day...but...I have a jewel to put back together...again." She stood up and Tebiki followed right behind. Kagome smiled and mounted the horse carefully.
"HEY! THAT'S MY HORSE! FIND YOUR OWN!" Wolfram moved towards her and took the reigns from her.
"...Tebiki...was going to take me back to the palace. I will be making my travel on foot." He stared in surprise but let go of the reigns.
"Wolfram, go with her if your nervous about her taking of with Tebiki." Yuuri said as he helped Ken onto his own horse.
"YUURI!! You are my fiancé! I can not go gallivanting around with some―"
"Soon to be mother of both of your children?" Kagome said bleakly. Wolfram stared at her, his eyes held a tinge of guilt as he watched her look away forlornly. He sighed before climbing on behind her and taking the reigns from her. He snapped them lightly taking her by surprise.
"Hurry up Yuuri!!" Wolfram called out.

Crimson red eyes stared in a sadistic cruel nature down at the struggling figure below him.
"Kukuku..." A malicious chuckle left the lips of the crimson eyed stranger. His crimpled long black hair blew viciously in the harsh winds surrounding them.
"Find the Holy Demon...or die alongside your comrades...you decide...i personally don't care. Either way, your life will end at my hands..."
"P-p-please, s-spare me...I don't know a-any Holy Demons!!!"
"I didn't ask if you knew any...I said find her!"
"Y-yes sir, I'll find her!" The man said in a frightened tenor.
"...good." He took a shard and placed it in the man's mid section, watching the man's eyes fade into nothingness. "Find the Holy Demon."
The man stood slowly, almost robotically before turning and leaving with the one purpose...finding his masters rival...this Holy Demon.

(Elsewhere...Elsewhere???)
It wasn't easy traveling alone through the woods...especially when you are a child, despite your demon heritage. Yet, here a little fox demon was; walking through the grimy mud and crunchy leaves of the forest.
"Mama..." He wood say that word at least once every two or three hours. No coherent thoughts or words surfaced through the haze of this child's mind.
He had a wounded shoulder blade that need medical attention and soon, blood painting a trail down the little fox demons limp arm as he trudged silently through what seemed like a never ending forest.
He had no energy left...with one final step...he fell face forward into the grubby soil of the forest.

Kagome felt a pull at her heart, turning her head towards the forest to her right, she stared.
"Wolfram?"
"Hm?" He looked to see her staring in the direction of the Castle Grounds Forest.
"...can we go in there? I...I think something is wrong...dreadfully...wrong..." He frowned by pulled the reigns so that Tebiki slowed to a trot and fell back with Yuuri's horse.
"Hey, we are going into the forest. Are you coming?"
"Uh, sure."
"Fine with me." Ken responded after Yuuri. Kagome paid no attention to the boys, watching as they got closer to the border of the forest.

(An hour later)
They were about to head back when Kagome jumped off of Tebiki, running off of the beaten path and in a darker part of the forest. She ignored the cries of protests from the three young men behind her.
Kagome wasn't sure why, but something inside said she had no more time to wait, she had to hurry. So...she ran, picking up speed and almost tripping over a random tree root in her hastening. She paused when the wind bustled the leaves of the trees and picked up the scent of...blood...familiar blood.
"Sh-Shippou!"
