CHAPTER 1

"Kagome! Just where do you think you're going?"

"Faye! Kagome said startled as she turned away from the window she had been trying to climb out of to find her oldest sister standing in front of her. Kagome quickly thought of lie that would keep her out of trouble. "I saw something rather large move out there and I trying to see."

"Don't you lie to me! You were trying to leave the palace walls weren't you?" Her sister yelled. When Kagome didn't answer she started yelling again. "Why is it that you insist on trying to leave when you know that doing so would put our village in jeopardy!" Her sister scowled at her, "I can't believe you! You would sacrifice our village for your silly, little, need! How can you be so selfish! Get out of my sight you disgusting child."

Kagome opened her mouth to say something but thought better of it and turned and left. When she got to her room she sat down on a chair in front of a small desk. Kagome glanced down into mirror sitting onto top of a bunch of papers. She stared down at her self. Kagome knew well that she looked nothing like the rest of her family. She had long black hair while everyone else were blondes. Her eyes were a beautiful emerald green color. Her sister's and father's eyes were gray. Her three sisters never hesitated to point out the fact that she looked so different. They said that if it weren't for the fact that Kagome had the mark of the Chosen they would have thought she was adopted or laughed at her saying that she was found laying in the street one day.

Kagome was use to such treatment. Ever since she was little her family treated her like this. The yelled and hit her, they stole her things, they even mistreated her dog. A tear fell down her face as she thought about Inuyasha. His fur was a beautiful silver and his eyes a deep gold. He brought her things from outside worlds including the beautiful jewel she now wore around her neck. He was the best dog anyone could ask for and sometimes he seemed almost human. He was her best friend. Then, they took him away. Just like they took away everything else

They all blamed her for their mother's death and they were right. If she hadn't fallen into the lake outside the palace her mother would still be alive.

FLASHBACK

"Come Kagome, let's go for a picnic near the lake" her mother said offering her hand

"Yay! A picnic!" A five-year-old Kagome cried as she ran to her mother.

They walked down to the lake and enjoyed a delicious lunch. When they were finished they went for a walk around the lake and then they went over to the pier.

"Wow! Look Mommy! Look at all the fish!" Kagome said pointing to the water at the edge of wooden deck. Her mother smiled and she sat down at the edge

"I see, they are so pretty." Her mother said and looked over at her daughter and gasped. Kagome was leaning over trying to grab the fish. "Kagome! Stop!" Kagome didn't even look up as she continued trying but they swam to far away and Kagome decided to try to reach even further.

"AHHHHHHHHHHH!" Kagome screamed as she fell into the water. "Mommy! Help!"

"Hang on Kagome!" Her mother yelled as she jumped into the lake after her. She managed to grab her daughter and get her to pier. Kagome held on tight to the wooden planks as a few fairies that were near by pulled her up. But while they were doing so Kagome's mother had drifted away. She tried her best to swim closer but to no avail. Her body soon gave up and she drowned in the lake. They never found her body

END OF FLASHBACK

"It's not fair. If I had listened to you in the fist place then none of this would have happened. You would have been alive and so would Inuyasha" Kagome cried, "Inuyasha, even if it were just you that could come back to me I would be happy" she said. She wiped the tears off her cheeks as she stood up leaving the chair to walk over to the window. Night had come and her wings were glistening in the moonlight. She looked down into the forest and gave a little gasp as she saw what looked like silver hair. "Inuyasha? Could that really be Inuyasha?" She leaned over the window trying to get a better look. She saw that it was not her beloved dog, but a man. His hair flowed down his back and at the top of his head were two little ears that strangely resembled a dog's. "He's a demon" she whispered to herself captivated by the handsome demon walking at the forest's edge
