Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha or any of the other characters. I actually feel sorry for him when Kagome sits him, even if I think its funny.

Prologue
A scene of lush green trees with beautiful sakura bloosoms flowing gracefully to the ground, surrounding the ebony haired girl, faded into view. The girl was twirling, laughing and enjoying the day in all of its glory. Her emerald green eyes were bright with happiness and life. Magic began to gather around her, as if coming as its mistress called.
The day was bright and beautiful, with birds singing and the wind's light breeze making the sakura bloosoms dance around the ebony haired girl. All was peaceful and perfect, in the eyes of this girl no older then 5. It was one of the rare moments where she could escape her world of shattered dreams and darkness. She could finally enjoy the simplest things that she usually missed growing up.
Yet as if to ruin her one moment of magic and peace in a long time, a cruel deep feminine voice called to her.
"Sakura!! Its time to go!!! And don't dottle! I have better things to do then to wait for a silly little brat like you to ruin my day!!!"
The magic disappeared as the ebony haired girl stared at her stepmother, her eyes now dull and lifeless mirroring the pain and torn heart inside her. Her name was Asano Sakura, only daughter of Asano Inuyasha and his deceased wife, Asano Kagome. Her father then married a woman by the name of Nishiki Kikyo, who had been his mistress while he was married to Kagome. She hated her father and stepmother, missing her real mother terribly.
Her mother had been the only person that had truely loved her. She knew her father loved her deep down, though it seemed that he loved her younger brother, Touya, more then he did she. She hated yet loved the little brat, even if he was the one who killed their mother.
Asano Kagome had died giving birth to the Asanos' second child, Touya. Her father hadn't even mourned his wife's death, since he was only happy thathis wife had been good enough to give him a son. Kagome had seemed to figure this out, as she watched her husband just smile at his son, not even giving her dieing body a second glace. So with her last once of strength, she named the child Touya, meaning something that Sakura will never know, and gave her miko powers to Sakura, who already had some of her own. This only made her daughter even more powerful, scaring Kikyo even more as well as her own daughter, Naoko.
So Kikyo made the little brat her stepdaughter, despite the protests of her own daughter. She was even scared to make Touya her own son, since he reminded her so much of his mother. He had the woman's ebony black hair and hazel gray eyes, that the daughter didn't possesse. She hated the little boy, since she couldn't claim him as her own son without Sakura knowing, so she was stuck calling him her stepson. So with that, she was made the wife of Asano Inuyasha and was pregnant with child, hopefully a son so that she could get rid of both Sakura and Touya. Her own son then could be heir to the Asano fortune and she could get rid of the two little brats once and for all.

Sakura whimpered slightly, bowing her head. Her eyes were downcast, as she waited for the slap that her stepmother would surely give to her. She knew that her stepsister Naoko was smirking at this, since she loved when Sakura was yelled out for anything. It brought the other 5 year old joy to see her most hated and worse enemy be hit by her own mother.
A loud noise of skin hitting skin could be heard in the early afternoon's air with an acommpanying cry of pain that followed. Asano Kikyo smirked at her stepdaughter, knowing the little brat deserved it for running off like that. She let her hand slide to her side, as she sternly staired at the two 5 year olds with the 1 year old in her arms. She then spoke, her voice as cold as ice. "I will have no disobidience in this family. Now off with yah to the car. I don't care what you have to say, just get to the car!"
Both 5 year olds ran quickly to the car, one whimpering quietly and holding her cheek while the second was smirking and trying not to laugh at her stepsister's pain. The 1 year old just gurgled in happiness, wondering what was going on. He pulled at his stepmother's ear, bringing a slight frown to Kikyo.
Sakura sighed and opened the car door, looking sadly at her brother from a distance. She wished he knew their real mother. She wanted him to. He would just never know how wonderful Kagome had been to them and how much she missed her. Her only wish for her birthday, which was only a week away, was to have her mother back or at least get a friend. Someone who she can relate to.
Climbing into the car, she leaned back against the seat and shut the door. She looked out the window, not even noticing her stepmother and stepsister climb into the car. The car started up and Sakura still looked out the window. The whole way home, only one thing was on her mind as she looked out the window to the setting sun and coming night. 'Mama, where are you?'
