----Hidden Power Reveals----

A slight stir came from the young woman who had done nothing to deserve this. But the woman, who pondered through the great era, about 60 years ago, still lives inside of her.

"Well… she doesn't seem to be much like the dangerous one you spoke of." A mysterious woman said, behind the blinds as her shadow came about.

A sort of chuckle arose in the demon who sat beside the young woman, closely.

"You don't know her, the way I do…" He replied, rolling his hand into a fist.

"I found her near this same well. I never knew her actual age, but it was close enough to mine."

"Mother; she always told me people were all different, and so I brought her to my mother."

"She had awakened the next day. She wasn't sure as well, where she came from, why was' she here, or even who she was."

"Her eyes were the first thing I noticed. They were fiery, hazel eyes. And I thought… Raine. She liked it, and so did my mother. After a couple of days, we became so close, as if we were siblings. But then again, my mom loved having her around, so she accepted her as her own child. She didn't realize it then, but she meant a lot to me… especially since the people around us were well… different."

"Inu Yasha… why do you think she's a demon?"

"An awkward sorceress was after her, and without knowing I was looking for answers."

"She claimed she was hers. She was her magic."

"Lord Sesshomaru… what did she mean by her magic?"

"Rin, could you please keep your mouth shut for once!"

"Raine was unique, her heart is not human nor a demon's. Heck, if I'm correct she didn't even have one…"

"What..!"

"The witch was after her, because she possessed a 'soul of life'. A power so great they said that it can devour this whole universe. Well, of course, if it fell into the wrong hands. But still… for some reason she had it."

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

"Like the Shikon Jewel, many wanted the soul. But few knew of the great power, or who retained such a capability."

"All that I was aware of was that she lived with him and his human mother."

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

"We were all so normal… like happy. Till that witch came along and exposed herself to Raine. We were still little though, and she was too young to understand what she was even talking about."

"But my mother had the most dramatic expression on her face, her elegant smile became startled by what that witch had told us…"

"The witch tried hard to get Raine, but failed for some reason. An aura she claimed; surrounded the area, protecting me and my mother. I was really sure, it was Raine, she didn't know it, but it was her."

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

"She had developed her powers quickly, which meant the soul of life found its surrounding in her."

"Though the sorceress wasn't too reluctant to give up, she placed a curse on her; a curse that will haunt her forever."

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

"Her chanting was so fatal. My ears were practically falling off because of her disgusting screeches!"

"But what she chanted was even more…"

"Distorted…"

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

"Lord Sesshomaru. What was the curse?"

"That is what I tend to find out."

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

"Don't you guys dare to stop me. I threw her through the well, promising myself that she would never be hurt, but now… she's being held by Naraku and who knows what that creep is up to."

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

"I wish to end what I never started."

"Jaken!"

"Yes. Lord Sesshomaru."

"Take care of Rin and A-Un."

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

"InuYasha… if you don't return within a day… then…"

"Don't worry Kagome. I won't leave you just yet."
