Disclaimer: No, I do not own Inuyasha, if I did, muhahahahahaha… Kikyo would die! And Inuyasha and Kagome would have had a family by now!

Inuyasha: ….Your crazy.

Kagome: ….Do you not love me then, Inu? (Starts sobbing hysterically)

Inuyasha:…Shit. Of course I love you, Kags!

Kagome: (Sniffs) Really?

Inuyasha: Yes. Now, on with the story!

Prologue

"Mother... Mother? Where are you?" A young girl called, fear pulsing through her little veins. Dead silence seemed to mock her, scare her. "Mother!" Her cries grew louder, more frantic.

"K-K-Kagome…" The little girl gasped at her name. "I-in here, c-child." Kagome ran to the sound, and burst through her mother's bedroom door.

Time itself seemed to stop. As Kagome stood, rooted to the spot, her frightened eyes roaming over her mother's mangled body. Knife marks penetrated her once smooth skin, blood staining the carpet. Her eyes were growing more hollow by the second, her face draining of all colour, fear now replacing the hollowness.

"Run K-Kagome! Before h-he finds y-you! Run!" Kagome jumped, startled, but did as her mother said. Her little legs raced down the stairs, but she didn't get far.

"Well, well, well! So the woman lied to me." Kagome gasped as a man grabbed her. "I don't like being lied to." Kagome shuddered as he moved his filthy lips across her cheek.

"Let go of me you filthy animal! AHHH!" Screaming, she threw out her right hand, and as it struck him, pure ribbons of purple light illuminated his twisted face. He shrieked in agony, hands now clutching his face. Angrily, he struck her, dragging his long nail across her left cheek.

Then, he dropped. Kagome was crying now, tears streaming down her face, mingling with the blood that dripped from her cut cheek. She ran from the house, ran far, and never looked back.
