'What's going on?' A small girl thought as she tried to see through the flames that surrounded her. She blinked back tears. 'My Eyes burn!' The small child thought. She huddled in a corner, in her small bedroom. The intense heat started to become unbearable for the girl, and she tried to hide herself from the heat. The girl heard a shrill scream coming from outside, it was her mother! 'Mommy! She's in pain!' With that last thought, the girl pushes herself up from the ground and struggled to reach her mother, through the smoke that blocked her sight, and sense of smell. The girl finally reached outside, to see her mother arguing with two men. She noticed here mother had a split lip. Her eyes widened and, she rushed to her mother's side. She tugged franticly at her mother's red skirt.
The woman froze, turning her wide brown eyes to her daughter. "Kagome?"
The two men turned to look at the soot-covered girl hiding behind her mother's skirt. "That's her!" They yelled. "Hurry, get her! We must get her while we can, before the little demon slips away, like her father!"
The girl's mother raised her hand to them and whispered something that the young girl couldn't quite understand. Her eyes widened when she saw something that looked like a ball of fire shoot from her mother's hand. She giggled, when she saw the too ugly, mean men scream, and start running around like chickens with their heads cut off. She suddenly felt herself being jerked, as her mother pulled her into the dark, gloomy forest. The girl stumbled over small logs, and twigs, that were hardly visible through the darkness. Her mother stopped suddenly, and the girl ran into her mother's legs. The woman knelt down to face her daughter, trying to hold back tears that were threatening t flow.
"Mama?" The young child whispered, as she raised her hand to brush away her mother's tears. Her mother grasped her hand, pulling the girl into a hug.
"Listen to me, you have to run from here Kagome. Those men back at the house were after you. I can't go with you, but please, be safe, my small phoenix." The woman whispered into her daughters ebony hair, which was streaked with red. Tears finally fell down the woman's face as she released her daughter.
"Mama, where are you going?" The girl asked, as her mother stood. She started to follow her mother, but was stopped by some sort of barrier. "Mama! Don't leave me! Please!"
The woman froze. "Kagome, I have to do this! Please run away from here, and don't return!" She then rushed off, leaving her small daughter standing in the small opening.
"Mama?" The girl whispered. She stood there for ten minutes, before doing as her mother told her, and running. She didn't know how long she ran, or how long it was, before she fainted. The girl felt something tickling her nose, so she slowly opened her eyes, finally waking from her blissful sleep. Blue eyes stared back at her. The girl let out a yelp, as she scooted away from the watchful eyes, when she got a good enough distance away, she got a good look at the owner of the blue eyes. It was a girl about her own age, maybe a year older. She had long, silver hair that was pulled back into a messy braid, with a few strands hanging in front of her face. The other girl smiled, and she slowly smiled back.
"Hi! I was walking around, and I saw you lying on the ground, so I brought you back here. Are you aright?"
"I... think so..." The girl whispered.
"That's good, so what happened? Why were you in the forest?"
"I...um..."
"You don't have to tell me now, if you don't want to!"
"A-alright."
"Well, lets start it out this way! What's your name?"
"I'm Kagome Higurashi." The girl with brown eyes, and the red streaked ebony hair whispered.
"I'm Ashiru Tamahashi! Nice to meet ya Kagome! Don't worry! I'll take care of you!" The girl with silver hair, and sapphire eyes, chirped. "You'll see we'll be great friends! I bet that once we get to know each other better we'll be like sisters even! Now at least, lets get some dinner! I'm starved, and you're way too light for someone your size!"

Ashiru froze, when she heard a small gasp. She turned to look at Kagome, who was trying to sit up. "Kagome!" She rushed to her friend. "Kagome! Are you all right?" At Kagome's nod she sighed in relief. "Don't you ever do that again! Do you know how stupid that was! Honestly! Don't EVER worry me like that again, or else, I'll KILL you!"
Kagome let out a pained chuckle, before, looking at Inuyasha, and smirking, at his stunned gaze. "You honestly didn't think I'd fall that easily did you? Well, come on! This fight isn't over! This time however, it will be a real fight! All I want is my staff, and Ashiru's katanas; we'll make this fight two on two! Besides, I work better with my partner, and I'm sure you want a real fight!"
Inuyasha let out a small growl, before turning to his brother. "Well, what do you say? Let's put these two in their places!"
Sesshomaru smirked, one that looked exactly like Ashiru's. "I'm for it. This time however, let's get a doctor, so they don't pull any more stunts like that. After all, we still have to make their lives a living hell!"
"Alright, let's get Miroku and his hanyou nurse, Sango. Although, I'm sure Sango will end up killing Miroku." Inuyasha laughed. "Anyway, I'll go get them, think you can handle these two for awhile brother?"
"Of course I can! Hurry up idiot! Bring Tensaiga, and Tetsaiga with you as well!" Sesshomaru snarled to Inuyasha.
"I know!" Inuyasha growled back, as he walked out the door.
