Kurisuta Hikawa swept up her shrine. She was twenty one and she had long dark hair, caramel skin, and bright blue eyes. She was the High Priestess of Hikawa Shrine.
She walked across and sat in front of the altar where the flames danced.
She knelt, gazing into the flames and using her power of pyromancy to divine the future.
In the flames she saw a woman fire an arrow at a yokai with white hair and ears. He was pinned to a tree. The tree faded and resolved again in the flames, revealing it was the Goshinboku behind her house.
Kuri stood. This was all very interesting. It was rare that she would catch a glimpse of the past. But she had. This person, this Inuyasha, she was sure to meet him soon.
"Sister!" Reiko Hikawa rushed in. Reiko was a kitsune, with red hair and green eyes, pale skin and freckles. "Sister you aren't going to believe it."
"Is there a man pinned to the tree outside?" Kuri said calmly.
"Ya know your premonitions make it hard to surprise you." Reiko said, annoyed.
"Do me a favor and prepare something to eat. I will go free him." Kuri said.
Rei paused. "A-Are you going to use...that?"
Kuri shook her head. "Her power will not be necessary for this. However, I haven't used my power in a long time."
Kuri put a large red coat on and went outside. It was snowing, and the man was pinned to the tree. He looked to be about twenty one, decidedly younger then Kuri, who was twenty seven. The arrow was fixed to his heart.
Kuri walked forward and realized the snow was not falling around the tree. Whatever had brought Inuyasha to this place had erected a barrier.
Kuri walked forward, and was repelled. She incanted several choice words, and her shadow lengthened and went outside the barrier, while she, glowing with silver light, entered the barrier and placed her hand on the arrow, incinerating it.
As soon as the arrow vanished, Inuyasha landed on the ground. He looked at his hands, his hair, his body, and cried out. He was human. "What have you done, wench?!"
