Prologue:
The Village
Hihana silently drew her bowstring to her ear and aimed for the patch of trees from which the youkai aura was coming from. She had a quiver full of arrows fletched with raven feathers. Her flame-filled eyes glared at the trees as she felt the air tense around her. Hihana strained forward to see what was menacing her village. Bow at the ready, she quietly stepped forward. Suddenly, a young girl tumbled out of the bushes. Hihana nearly let loose her arrow but kept her grip. The girl was about 10 years old and was covered in bruises. She had flashing silver eyes flecked with white and gold and her hair was silver and tied half-up with a leather cord and white eagle feathers. Her white kimono was covered in blood and dirt and she was bare-foot. In her hands, she carried a small wooden box decorated with moons and wings. It was bound tightly shut by a seal of a crescent moon framed by two silver wings. Hihana stared indecisively at the young girl. She was the youkai aura that she had sensed earlier on. But she was so young and she didn't seem to be doing any real harm. But it was never really clear how a youkai would act. The girl looked up and noticed her. She bared her teeth and little fangs showed. 'A dog demon then,' thought Hihana. She slowly walked up to the girl and knelt down in front of her. She drew back, clutching the box. Her head was bent protectively over it in the manner of a mother dog over her pups. Her eyes glared at her evenly and before long, Hihana had to avert her gaze so as not to confront those silver eyes that seemed to see through everything. "It's all right. I won't hurt you. I just want to know why you are here," said Hihana quietly. The girl relaxed a little but didn't loosen her hold on the box. It was as if she expected Hihana to snatch it from her at any moment. "Do you have parents? Are they nearby," asked Hihana. The girl lowered her head and Hihana noticed the tinge of sadness in her eyes before they returned to their normal state of impassive glaring. "So you're an orphan and your parents are dead," concluded Hihana. "If you need anything, you're welcome to come to the village. I'll protect you from the other villagers." She continued in her soothing voice. The girl lowered her head until her hair shadowed her face. "I don't need anything," she said, "I'm just trying to get away from here." Hihana was silent. She too had lost her parents to youkai. From then on, she had vowed to become a miko and protect people from youkai and never again have to see people she knew die. But this youkai girl was different. She had suffered the same fate as she had when her parents were killed. She was alone and isolated, just as she had been when she had wandered through the streets of her burned village, scavenging what she could find and burying the bodies of her parents and friends. "My parents are dead too. But I went on in life. You are meant to be someone but running away if not how to face it. You were left alive for a reason. Maybe you are destined to forever slay youkai and protect people, like me. Or maybe you are destined to do something else. To turn away from that destiny would be disrespecting your parents after all they went through to bring you into this world to survive," Hihana slowly offered her hand to the stranger and said, "Come with me to the village. You don't have to go but I just want to help you, for I have gone through what you have gone through. Not everyone in this world misunderstands you." The girl slowly took Hihana's hand and followed her quietly through the forest toward the village. "We haven't been properly introduced yet. I am Hihana, miko of the village on the mountain of Hakuyama. And you are?" the girl hesitated, then said quietly, "I'm Tsukiyo."
