Kagome Higurashi danced with her father the King at the Royal ball, having the time of her life.
When she saw her Grandmother, Kaede she started to go to her only to be picked up and swung
around my her father. The King set his youngest daughter down and watched as she ran to his
Mother. Laughing he started dancing with his eldest daughter Kikyo, named after his Aunt who
died two days after she was born. Glancing around he saw his only son, Sota, being held by
his wife.
Kagome meanwhile ran up to her grandmother and threw her arms around her hugging her like her
life depended on it. Kaede smiled and pulled away from her grandaughter pulling out a small box.
Kagome knew that it was a hollow box with something inside it, but had no idea what on earth it
could be so when her grandmother pulled out a necklace Kagome stared.
"Grandmother Kaede what is it?" Kagome asked, taking the box.
"Open it and find out." Kaede said, smiling, handing her the necklace and showing her where the
key and hole met.
Kagome put the key into the keyhole and spun it. When the box opened Kagome stared, it was the
Shikon jewel her grandmother had said that she was to protect when she became 8. Now that she
was of that age she felt that she wouldn't be able to do it.
"Grandmother Kaede, I don't think I can do this..." Kagome said.
"Well then I'll just give it to Kikyo to protect." Kaede said smiling and counting in her head
when the retaliation would come.
"NO! I'll do it Grandmother Kaede." Kagome said shooting a death glare Kikyo's way.
"I knew ye would child." she answered back and slid the necklace around Kagome's neck while the
young child put the box into a fold in her dress.
"Inuyasha, back into the kitchens with you." came a voice causing Kagome to start.
Looking up Kagome saw a boy maybe one year older than her being dragged back into the kitchens.
As she looked at him the young boy looked over at her looking into her eyes causing the young
girl to start, his eyes were an amber color. His hair was unkept and fell past his shoulders in
a silver-white mane.
"Let him stay, he is doing no harm here." Kagome said going over to the boy being dragged back
towards the kitchens by a servant.
"Your Highness-" the servant started but stopped from a death glare by the youngest princess.
"You will let him stay or I'll have my father put you out of work." Kagome said, taking the
young boys hand and freeing him from the servant's grasp.
"Yes you Highness." the servant said and bowed deeply and then dissappeared into the kitchens
once again.
"Thank you, your highness." the boy said.
"Call me Kagome, if you don't I'll personally make sure that you are back to the kitchens." Kagome
said smiling softly.
"My name is Inuyasha, would you like to be friends?" the young boy asked, getting Kagome to smile
broadly.
Before Kagome could answer, however, a shout came from her father. Looking over quickly Kagome
recoiled and grabbing Inuyasha's hand for support. Inuyasha looked to where Kagome was staring
and felt himself shake in anger.
"Naraku! You are not welcome here, leave now." the King said, glaring at the man who used to be
his trusted advisor until he saw him hurting his daughters.
"Ku ku ku ku, I think your wrong. You're not welcome here." Naraku said and in came one woman
came in for support.
"Leave, before I call for the guards." the King said again.
"Fine, but you will all be plagued in two days. I will not rest until all the Higurashi's are
dead!" Naraku shouted and then left before the guards could be called.
Kagome looked at Inuyasha with fear in her eyes and he wished he could help her but was stopped
when Kaede grabbed Kagome and ran to her room where she started throwing things into a bag for
when their train for Tokyo was to leave. Kaede lived in the city of Tokyo while Kagome and her
family lived in Northern Japan. Kagome started wringing her hands and felt fear started to
creep its way up her spine.
The train leaving for Tokyo didn't leave for two days, when the threat was to be fulfilled. Kagome
was so scared that she wouldn't leave her bed chambers and had to have her food taken to her by
the one person in the kitchens she trusted, Inuyasha. Each meal time he would bring her her food
and they would sit together, finally Kagome called for her grandmother to come to her room.
"Grandmother Kaede, could we please take Inuyasha with us to Tokyo? I would feel safer with him
there." Kagome asked, she wanted Inuyasha to be with her, he was her only friend.
"I'm sorry child. I can not take him with us. If he stays here for a while longer though he will
be able to come to us in a few days after we leave, I promise. Now get some rest, we leave tomorrow."
Kaede said, kissed her grandaughter's forehead and tucked her into bed.
Meanwhile Inuyasha was in the servants hall listening intently to what had been said in the room.
Feeling his heart shatter he stayed in the secret hallway leaning against the door that opened
into Princess Kagome's room.
The next day as Kagome was in her room making sure she had everything for her train trip to leave
she heard a scream come from the hall ways. Running to her door she opened it a crack to see
her Grandmother running to her, blood spattered on her kimono. Inuyasha, who was still in the
servants hall heard the screams and opened the door to Kagome's room.
"Grandmother Kaede whats happening?" Kagome asked, fear filling her eyes and voice.
"Hurry, we must leave. Naraku and his forces are here. We have to find a way out of here."
Kaede said grabbing Kagome's hand and her bag in her other.
"Hurry, out the servants hallway. There is a door leading to the back streets where its clear.
Hurry!" Inuyasha said ushering them out of the room into the hall.
"Inuyasha, the box, I must have that box!" Kagome screamed pointing to where the box holding the
Shikon Jewel sat on her bed.
"Go, I'll get it to you, just go!" Inuyasha promised closing the servants door and running to where
the box was just in time for the door to be busted open by a gust of wind caused by one of Naraku's
people.
"Where are they boy?!" the woman asked, holding her mystic fans that controlled the wind.
"Leave!" Inuyasha yelled picking up a chair and throwing it at her. The woman dodged the chair
easily and growled her eyes flashing dangerously.
"This ought to teach you to mess with Kagura!" the woman yelled and used the mystic fans to throw
Inuyasha across the room into a wall where he hit his head not remembering anything but his name
and the promise made to his only friend.
The box containing the Shikon jewel fell out of Inuyasha's hand and infront of where he lay
unconscious. Kagura left the room and searched for Kagome and Kaede, determined to kill them so
she wouldn't face Naraku's wrath.
Kagome and Kaede were running across an ice covered river where there was a bridge over it. Kagome
ran as fast as she could to keep up with her grandmother's strides. The old lady ran faster but
stopped when Kagome screamed. Naraku had jumped from the bridge landing on his feet infront of
Kagome, grabbing onto her. The ice under Naraku wasn't strong enough from the jump and he fell
through, the icy current under it freezing his legs making them immobile.
Kagome let out another scream as Naraku grabbed ahold of her feet trying to drag her down with him.
Kaede used Kagome's bag and hit Naraku over and over with it causing him to grab at it and let
go of Kagome. Kagome kicked Naraku in the head hard enough to knock him out so he fell into the
ice where he drowned.
Standing up Kagome ran with her grandmother to the train station where they had to run to reach
it in time. Kaede reached the train faster and jumped being helped onto it by some men on the
back of it. She turned and held her hand out to her granddaughter who ran as hard as she could and
just reached Kaede's hand. Kaede held her hand as hard as she could but one lurch of the train
caused her to accidentally let go of Kagome's hand and Kagome fell onto the ground hard.
"KAGOME!!!" Kaede yelled trying to get to her but was held back by the men who helped her up.
Kagome layed on the ground for many hours, memories leaving her mind as she did. When she finally
awoke she was alone at the train station, no one was around, it was midnight. She couldn't remember
anything but for part of her name, 'Gome,' and a pair of amber eyes pleading with her. Standing
up she wandered around for hours until she came to a house that was filled with kids voices. Going
to it she knocked on the door to have it roughly opened by an elderly woman with a stone face.
"Well come in, are you an orphan?" the woman asked as Kagome stepped inside.
"I think so. I can't remember too much." she answered.
"Well, you can stay here until someone comes to get you. Do you know your name?" the woman asked,
her voice filled with a bit of kindness.
"Gome, my name is Gome." she said, and from that moment on she was known as Gome to the people in
the orphanage.
