A/N: Hey guys!!! Okay, so this first chapter of UltraViolet is kind of experimental. I really don't know, as I am writing this author's note, how it is going to lay out. I am really going out on a whim. So, don't lash out on me as you read this. When this chapter ends, read the author's note, and - hopefully - I will have figured out what I am doing with myself in this story. Once again, I appreciate reviews!
Disclaimer: Aww… I still don't own Inuyasha… or Kagome… or Sesshomaru… or Shippou….. Wow. I'm a sad little thing.

Mr. and Mrs. Higurashi were - to say the least - surprised when their old-time demon friend came knocking on their door. They were even more surprised when he had handed them a tiny baby wrapped up in a black blanket.
Their friend had told them that he would get all the paperwork taken care of, and that he did. The papers were mailed to them not three days later, with her new name, "Kagome Miyako Higurashi," printed in black ink on each paper.
Hitomi and Akane went straight to work, spending a whole week of their time, making their new daughter a room. The theme was pink, black, and blue, with fake flowers and plants all around in her room. Those seemed to be her favorite themes.
The parents also bought Kagome a little bed that had high walls, so that she would not fall out of the bed in the middle of the night. The bed had a black frame, with a tiny black and blue comforter. There were two little pink pillows that were as long as her body.
Kagome was also given three medium-sized teddy bears, that she had attacked lovingly the first time she had seem them in her little bed. At that moment, she had looked up at her parental figures, and smiled at them. Something in her face showed a look of appreciation.
But not everything was all that happy with the Higurashi family. A week after their demon friend, Nagasaki, visited, he was found dead in his house. The funeral was going to be in a week's time. Hitomi and Akane both knew that Kagome was not old enough to understand.

There were not very many people at the funeral. Nagasaki was not a social butterfly, as everyone knew. He was so devoted to his work.
At the sad burial, the Higurashi's - Kagome sporting her new little black dress in her black blanket - and a few of Nagasaki's colleagues were giving their wishes. The demon had no family; they had all died when he was twenty.
It was a sad day for all, but most especially for the youngest Higurashi that was hidden in her mother's arms. Hitomi and her husband had never seen their little girl cry. However, this was the day that she decided to.
Kagome cried and cried. She cried softly, but she let her little tears fall from her ocean blue eyes. She knew of the great sadness she felt in the room. Her little heart was hurting, and the Higurashi family finally decided to head home, believing that it would help Kagome's sadness if she were not at the funeral.

Three months after the funeral, Kagome was back to her old self. She was laughing and cooing again, always wanting to play with her stuffed animals and parents. And that was also the day that she had said her first word: "Kagome."
She said her name as her first word, and them giggled at her mother's face, cooing again, and then lifting her hands up to grab onto the older woman's hair. It pulled her back into reality. It also made her think.
'Why would she say her name first?' Hitomi asked herself. She decided not to ponder it for very long, and went back to playing with her baby daughter.

Six months later, Kagome was saying things left and right. She always said the more complicated words. Some examples were: humorous, excited, and happy. She picked them up quickly, and was eating regular food instead of the usual things babies ate at only six months; even if she born four months too soon. She had all of her teeth already, too. She was way past the teething stage, and had not even cried of screamed during any of it.
Hitomi recalled, 'The only time she was ever seem crying by anyone was at Nagasaki's death. Did she know something?' She once again let it go, thinking that her baby was just off that day.

Eleven months: Kagome knew how to walk and run. She was way past the stage of crawling; she had learned that when she was seven months old. To her, it was old hat.
A this stage, she was demanding her mom that she could handle herself, and that she should have the walls taken off her bed, so that she could move a little more freely.
Kagome was growing: fast. She already looked like a toddler. She was two feet tall now, but she still only weighed around twenty-one pounds. The doctor said that it was abnormal, but she was healthy, nonetheless.
Kagome still had large, dark ocean blue eyes that could make any person's heart melt at the sight of her eyes. Her hair grew fast; it was already down to her lower back, threatening to touch her small, round butt. She had a habit of tying it up, even though she insisted that she didn't want to get it cut.
Hitomi thought it was cute of her little daughter to act so mature at such a very young age. She was always friendly, and she still never cried. She would pout, and stamp her little foot, but was never really angry or upset. She was a very easy going little girl.

It was the day before Kagome's first birthday. Kagome was excited, and was bustling around her house, trying her best to help her mom set everything up. She was have a few of her friends, and some of her cousins that she had never met come over to celebrate.
And that was also the day that Kagome saw a huge moving truck, sitting in front of the house that sat behind hers on the large hill in Tokyo.

A/N: Kind of a crappy place to let off on. Sorry about that. I couldn't think of what I else I was going to explain. I really had no idea what was coming out of my brain when I finished writing this. Mind you, it is twelve thirty at night, and I am actually thinking about writing the third chapter already. But, I don't think I am going to. I think the next one is going to be really long. You'll meet most of the main characters in the next chapter. There will be more later, but I only need the basic characters this chapter. It wouldn't be fun if we met ALL the characters in the story next chapter. I need to write another twenty-four, and make them INTERESTING. How and I supposed to do that without some extra characters and drama??? Oh, and the age thing is the time this chapter takes place. So in this one, it was between the time she was two weeks, and one year. Next chapter it will be one year to two years. And so forth. And the height, and weight are what she weighs and how tall she is at the beginning. She DOES grow, mind you. I tell you how much she grows in each chapter. Don't worry, I will never miss something to put in. Everything will come together eventually. Like I said, I HATE writing flashbacks, so I am just going through each year to explain all that happens. MOST (not all, some is just for fun) will be needed for the rest of the story, and it has to happen for the story to go on.
Yes, I think that when Kagome reaches age twenty-five, I will do a time stop for a few chapters (like, 10 or 20) and I may move on, or I may stop. OR, I may make a sequel. But no one ever knows with me!!! ^-^
Anyway, I do hope you will review. I do put a lot of time into this story (I like this one better that all my other ones I have going right now). I will try to update "Losing You" as soon as possible.
Wow. Okay, I am too tired to look for mistakes. You all will have to review and tell me where they are, and I'll fix them later.
But before I go, here are some name meanings (I thought this would be a fun trat for all of you) :
Kagome - a pattern in a basket (hexagonal)
Miyako - beautiful night child
Higurashi - Sunset (is that why everyone calls it "Sunset Shrine in their stories?)
Hitomi - Star
Akane - deep red
Hope that is a fun little educational experience for you! (Yes, I am on summer break too, for some of you, but your brain is ALWAYS growing!!!)
Love,

P.s. I just took up a whole page for my author's note, and about 500 words of this chapter is the author's note. *Sweat Drops* Oops, like I said though, I am making the next chapter really long! Don't hate me! *Runs away*
