She walked up to the guy who was signing people up, she looked around to see if there were any other girls there. But no luck, just like every other time, she saw no other girls at this type of tournaments.
She didn't care, she was used to it, she happily said "Hello! I would like to sign up for…" but before she could finish the guy burst out in laughter.
"Kids this days…go home before you get hurt"
" Listen to me you moron I you either sign me up or I'll make you sign me up" she said quickly moving behind him n slowly pulling out a knife.
Slowly she lowered the knife and said " Higurashi Kagome"
"Is 12:30 okay?"
She nodded and walked away.

Kagome was a miko , her and her father were able to control certain elements, Kagome's element of choice was water.
Not many people signed up for this particular tournament since the price was so big everyone was scared of the people that might show up.
There were five swords and five fights, the winner of each would get to choose their sword.
These swords are said to be made by the gods, and had immense powers and they each had the ability to control a certain element, fire, water, wind, ice and earth, they were also to give their owner special powers no one has ever been able to control.

Kagome walked slowly, she didn't know which sword she should choose, ' I know I should pick the water sword…but that would not be much of a challenge.."
She was too deep in thought and didn't notice the person running towards her.
They crashed and both fell flat on the butt.
" I am sooooo sorry!" she said looking up, now standing in front of her was a tall boy with long silver hair but wore a kind of hat and the most beautiful gold eyes she had ever seen, she found herself starring into his eyes and forgetting everything about her fight, the swords and anything else that could have been in her mind.
"That's okay, it was my fault" he said smiling " so…are you here to see your brother, maybe your father?"
She then woke up from her dream state and her smile disappeared into a frown " NO, im here to compete" she walked away thinking to her self "What a Jerk... he's just like every other guy..."

She won her fight with surprisingly no difficulty, the guy she was against didn't consider her a threat got distracted and when she used her special water attack he was caught off guard and went unconscious, Kagome smiled as she was cheered by the crowd and went to take her price.

'Which one!' she thought, she closed her eyes ' Daddy please... help me choose'

She reached for a sword, everyone gasped as she picked the "fire?" she was as surprised as everyone else, fire was the one sword no one had ever been able to control, the most powerful and feared.

Kagome smiled, she decided to stay for the festivities and wait until every match was over, even if she didn't watch a single one.

Everything was over by around 10:30 p.m. she stared to walk home when she saw the guy she bumped into earlier; she glanced at hi and said "congrats".

He was holding the wind sword "Oh yes... congratulations to you too, sorry if I offended you in any way earlier... anyways I was wondering if I could talk to you for a moment?"

'Why... does he want to talk to me?' she blushed and nodded.

The walked for maybe 10 minutes, they got to a big dark house, when they went in she saw all the other winners proudly holding their sword.

"I asked you all to come here because we are now the only ones who could ever stand up to Naraku, no one else has the power or the courage to do it, but if we all join-"

"Wait...you want us to fight Naraku! Inuyasha I think you've gone insane" the guy was holding the earth sword and his name was miroku "You know I would follow you anywhere, I let you enter me in this crazy tournament but there's nothing we can do against HIM"

"I know there are demons out there but hey we can beat'em! We've got the swords! Im going with or without your help so everyone who is willing to fight to protect those they love, we leave tomorrow at 6:oo sharp!"

Kagome sure as hell wasn't going back tomorrow! Why should she? She has to take her of her family.

When she got home she could not believe her eyes, her home was burning in flames, she ran inside to try and help them but she found they had all been killed and on each of them she saw Naraku's mark.

"You're coming right?" Inuyasha asked with a pleading look.

" You know I will..." Miroku smiled "Come on you should know me better than that"

They heard someone come in the door and start running they both turned around and saw that strange girl that won the fire sword.

"I thought I said to come at 6:00 a.m." he stopped when he saw the tears pouring down her face.

"They're dead! All of them! Naraku killed my family!"

"I'm so sorry... I know how you feel, he killed my family too, you can spend the night here, there's a lot of spare rooms up stairs"

"No… I saw you have a gym" she wiped the tears off her face " I'm going to get ready for tomorrow"

Inuyasha went in the gym at 5:45 to see if she was still awake, he found her on the floor sleeping, still holding the sword.

She heard him, quickly got up to face him " I'm sorry I never thanked you for-"

"Oh but you did, you're coming , that's more than enough" he smiled and she got closer, Inuyasha was about to say something when Miroku came in.

"Hey INuyasha they're her- oh... am I interrupting something?"

"Ofcourse not" he said clearing his throat "Lets go then."

Everyone was in the living room, The guy with the ice sword, his name was Kari,he had silver hair like inuyasha but it was shorter, and he the clearest ice-blue eyes Kagome had ever seen.

Hai had the water sword, he was tall , darl hair and brown eyes.

"Well everyone ready" everyone nodded, grabbed their things and left.
