Prologue
I was just a baby when it happened. Not even a year old. I guess I never really understood why it occurred, and I can't even ask my parents. My mother died because of it, and my father got sealed to a tree because of it.. I never really had the chance to meet them. I frequently find myself listening to the stories the villagers tell of them. My father was a proud hanyou, and my mother was a beautiful priestess.
For most, the past is something we want to put behind us. For me, it's something I long to remember..
"INUYASHA!" The sharp arrow whizzed through the air at it's fast moving target, and silver haired dog demon. In an instant, the arrow pierced his chest and sealed him to the giant tree, his hopes of using the Shikon no Tama broken with his heart.
"Ki-Kikyo! How could.I thought.." The injured hanyou hung limply from the tree, and for a moment, his eyes were almost pleading with the woman in front of him. Only for a moment, the moment before he drifted off into his eternal slumber.
Before him, a tall dark haired priestess dropped her bow and arrows and limped forward to pick up the dropped Jewel, dark puddles of blood trailing behind her.
"Big SISTER!"
"Lady Kikyo! What terrible wounds!"
The villagers gathered around her as she held the small jewel in her hands, and turned to her younger sister Kaede.
"You're hurt! Really badly sister!"
Kikyo winced under the pain of her wounds and opened her mouth to speak. "I- I forgot who I.and now see what-" she gritted her teeth and looked down at the jewel in her hands, " and all for this.the sacred jewel which-" she winced again, and shook under the immense pain.
"You're in pain!" Kaede pleaded, reaching out to her elder sister, "Please, let someone-"
"I won't be alive much longer." Kikyo said, determination filling her words, " So I'm giving this to you. The Shikon no Tama which you must BURN with my body."
Kaede looked up to her sister with pleading eyes, praying hoping that this was all a dream.
"It must not fall into the hands of those who would abuse it," Kikyo winced once more," and please.please make sure that Oyumi.make sure that Oyumi-" she shut her eyes in pain and whimpered her last breath before falling onto the ground before her.
"Sister Kikyo! SISTER KIKYO!"
Tears streamed down my pail face as I recalled the stories the villagers had told me. The Shikon no Tama, Jewel of Four Souls- it was the reason I was without parents today.
Eddie: WOW! This is a shocker! THIS ISNT A TRIGUN FIC!! **Gasp**
Andy: Yeah, and since its NOT- **grabs Inuyasha** you get to sit with me while I write this story, instead of Knives.
