A New Way of Living
Prologue
My name is Kagome. I am, at first glance, a normal human teenager. But, as much as I
wish for that life, it is far beyond my grasp. Unlike most teenagers and some adults, I know what
it is like to fight for your life. I have dedicated my life to something and plan to follow it through.
I have found out some secrets that would ruin many powerful people if found out. They don't
know who I am since their cronies only report what they can remember. But, to keep their
information secret, they would stop at nothing to silence me.
I found out the truth by accident. I was younger , only fourteen, when I attracted the eye
of a snobby man named Kouga. He was the one that showed me the truth. After that he was
determined to keep me. I refuse to go through the shame of being kept like a pet again. He taught
me many things though. They are the only thing that has kept me alive all this time. I ended up
escaping, but at a great cost. Lets just say I will never see Kouga again and no one else will too.
He is gone. The man, boy really, who showed me that demons were real, is dead now. I was
forced to kill him. The others found out about Kouga's pet. They know that I had too much
information on them to be allowed to life. But every time they tried to kill me I was able to
escape. I moved all over the world with my friend, Sango.
I should have never brought her into this. She was my only friend in school, and when I
started to run, she insisted to come along. I know that she could defend herself against normal
people, but demons...she couldn't. Then one day, while I was out, Sango was kidnaped. A note
explained that in exchange for her life, I was to keep my mouth shut.
For a while it worked. They said that they would kill her if I dare speak of their secret. But
for some odd reason they couldn't believe me when I said that I had no intention or desire to tell.
After underestimating my intelligence, they killed Sango. They then had the gall to lie about it.
Last year, when it happened, I vowed to destroy them if only for revenge in Sango's name.
I have almost succeeded. But I fear I have made a great error. Somewhere along the way
one of the last two left, found out who I am. Though he does not wish to kill me, he longs for
something much worse. He wishes to capture me and make me his. No, I do not mean the foolish
notion that marrying someone makes them yours. This is in no way romantic. What I mean, is that
he desires to make me obey him with heart and soul. To take my desires and destroy them, while
replacing them with the mindless wish to grant his.
Because of that my time is running short. I go after the last demon I know of and pray that
he won't find me. For even god can not save me, if Naraku finds me now.
AN: My prologue is in Kagome's point of view but the rest is going to be mostly narrative with a little bit of the character thoughts....unless you convince me other wise ^-^! Now I need to know the spelling of Kagome's last name and the last name (True or yours) of Naraku, Sesshomaru, Inuyasha, Kikyo (she is going to die, I think), Miroku, and Sango. Thankz! I hope you like this story and I should warn you that I have no intention of making a happy ending. Oh, and please review any great ideas!
