A/N: Yes I know I'm starting another fic when I haven't finished my other one. I couldn't help it. This is an Inuyasha/YYH crossover with a bit of Rurouni Kenshin. This is actually a story that's been floating around in my head for almost a year now, heck maybe longer, I'm not really sure it has just been there for a long time. . This is just a prologue so it's gonna be kinda short. I'll try to not make it too short but I make no promises. This is written in my OC's POV , but the rest of the fic won't be. This prologue gives you a bit of my OC's background and past. Also I'm not sure how long it'll be till I put up the first chapter, my job tends to suck the life out of me. --; Anyways, I hope I can catch your interest with this. R/R please.

Prologue:

It's been almost five years since that day I was brought here to Feudal Japan. Five years since I've seen my friends, my family,… my brother. Five long years of being lost and losing all hope of ever finding my way. Five years of just living.

My family, I wonder if they are all right, if they are worried about me. I wonder if they gave up and thought I was dead or worse, if they thought I had abandoned them.

Life is tough here, surviving day to day. Unlike my original time period, there are a lot more demons about. The barrier between worlds hasn't been erected yet so demons are everywhere. If it hadn't been for all the training I had done in my time, I probably wouldn't have lived past my first day here.

I am a trained samurai from a long line of samurais. A true samurai is something that is very rare to find in my time. Most who train in swordsmanship in my time don't truly live the life of one. I was taught the code of a samurai at a young age and I live by it. My katana is just another extension of me.

But not only am I a descendent from a long line of samurais but I am also a descendent from a long line of shrine priest and priestess. I am a miko, but not your normal miko. I am a priestess of Shikigami, a type of spiritual energy. Finding a person with the ability to use Shikigami in this time is very rare and it's even rarer in my time.

To learn to control my Shikigami powers, I had to learn how to use spirit energy. I found and studied under a very power fighter who could use spirit energy. She was very strict and tough, nearly killed me a couple of times, but if it weren't for her the demons I keep running into would have killed me long ago.

Like I said before, life is pretty though here. Sometimes I just want to give up…

So who am I? My name is Yukari… Yukari Higurashi Himura, and this is my story.

A/N: Heh, looks like I made it pretty short. Sorry, I'm being distracted by people right now. I hope you get a good idea of what's up. Also, just in case you didn't see it, if you look closely to the name of my OC you can figure out at least to people she is related to. Well read and review please. Sorry that it's so short. ;;
