I would like to dedicate this story to a friend of mine who passed away on December 11, 2003. He will be missed greatly. May he rest in peace.

Prologue

With a quick slash of her sword, the girl struck her mark with practiced ease. She moved soundlessly in the darkened room, leaving no trace as to how she got there and as to who was there. No fingerprints, no footprints, not break-in, no stray hair, no car, no witnesses, everything but one stroke of a sword that left the authorities baffled as to how it occurred. It was obvious the target was murdered but there was no evidence to betray who the killer was. This attack like many before of uncanny likeness left investigators perplexed, not even a pattern could be discerned.

In cat like grace she moved within the shadows disturbing nothing. She melted into her background like a chameleon would a twig or leaf. No sound could be heard from her, not the rustle of her clothing or the sound of breath. She silently wondered how long this time it would take the police to find the body or for someone to realize that they're missing at the least. Last time it was a couple days, before that a month. It makes you wonder how much people care for you and it shows in the speed of how long it is noticed you're gone and found.

Making her way through the shadows she changed out of her black work gear and into a pair of loose fitted jeans and a dark blue tank top when she was of sufficient distance away from the scene. Moving unnoticed, she made her way through the nearby woods. Nothing in the trees or the floor of the woods betrayed her passing.

After a while of walking the sky was starting to fade into day. She came up to a shrine and entered the house. She lived at the shrine alone taking care of the history it held and passing on the legends of the past where there were demons around. Walking up the stairs she went into her room and turned on the computer. With that she began her report. She knew that she was better off prepared for publicity of the recent kill than stuck trying to keep up with the authorities and their investigations.

ok, I'm going to leave it off there for a prologue. I'm not really sure where this story is going to go yet but it is going to be a cross over I can tell you that. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

As for my other story 'A Trip Through the Well' I'm in the process of writing the second chapter of the second story. For those who didn't know, I decided to not leave you all hanging like that. I'm not sure how often I'll be able to update though, this year I'm really busy with work and school. Anyways, I hoped you liked the prologue. Please, reviews are always welcome so don't be shy and review! Reviews are what keeps me writing!
