Introduction

It started out on a dark stormy night. A holder of an ancient power source rapped on the door hoping to get an answer out of the old man inside. To his luck, the door opened to reveal a small man that seemed of the age of eighty five.

"Totosai, it's great to see you. How have you been?" The holder asked. The small old man, named Totosai, looked up. "Just fine, Keade, just fine. What brings you here?" The holder, a women, marched inside forgetting about her manners.

"There seems to be a girl I've heard of...she possesses the power to rid of the famous ring. Correct?" Totosai raised his eyebrows. "Correct. I've heard of something like that. Why does it fancy you?" Kaede dug in the pocket of her old wool cloak before pulling out a tiny red velvet bag. She slowly opened the bag and pulled out a chain with what seemed to be a pinkish ring looped onto it.

"This, is the famous ring which gave the evil Onigumo power. She shall destroy it...before this word encounters a dangerous war. Do give it to her on her sixteenth birthday."

Five Years Later...

The young Kagome Higurashi rushed up the small grass-like steps to the town's forger, Totosai. She immediatly knocked on the door and got an answer.

"Kagome! Happy birthday to you girl. I've got something for you, come along." Kagome smiled brightly and hurried into the small little home.

They walked to the back of the house into a small room. Totosai rummaged around for quite a bit before pulling out a small black box. He then handed it to Kagome.

"This, your sixteenth birthday present, is from a good friend of mine. Your going to take up a huge duty which I don't want you to fail on. I want you to also be careful. There's a note in that box you hold to help you understand. Now, run along now. You don't want to keep your grandfather waiting any longer." Totosai smiled once more while getting a curious look from Kagome. She then rushed out and ran down the dirt road.

She soon arrived to the house where her grandfather and her lived. It was really a peaceful town, considering wars were going on every here and there. Some evil demons and humans getting mixed up in wars that were never intended to start. The date was May 2nd, 1868; her birthday. Her grandfather greeted her with a pleasant smile which she returned. Kagome immediately rushed into her room to open the small black box.

Hopping on her bed, she took off the lid and a small brown colored piece of paper fell out. Probably from all the years it's been in here. She thought. She took the piece of paper and unfolded it, looking at the writing.

Kagome,March 23rd, 1855

I shall be long gone and in a peaceful place by the time you read this. I'm sorry to leave you with such a burden, but, this object could end a war soon to come.

This ring, is the one ring that would rule the world and cost many lives if used incorrectly. If this ring falls into the hands of evil, hell will await us. I shall give you the job to go to the famous mountain, Mount Hakurai, to destroy it.

This ring brings pure evil and I must insist that you do not let anyone see it for they might want it for their greedy little minds.

Best of life and luck to you.

Kaede

Kagome set the letter down silently as she lifted up the silver chain. On it was a large, pink ring that would seem to fit her thumb perfectly. She gazed at it before trying to slip it on. It would do much better as a ring than a necklace.

With that thought, she slipped it on, not realizing what she got herself into. She would be the cause of the deaths in her once peaceful town.

Author's Note: Sorry it's short. It's just the basic introduction to the story.

It's been such a long time since I last wrote on Let's see...about a good year I think. I'm not even used to writing either and I'm trying to find things to write about. Hopefully, if this gets good reviews, I will continue this and maybe even start a series of short stories for you guys.

This story will be more in-depth as it goes along. Trust me, the plot will unfold real soon. Happy deer hunting!

Please review! They are all appreciated. XD
