Rogue by Itsumademo

Prologue

This is actually my second fanfiction but the first one i'm having put up! As things are being a bit slow for my first one, but anyways, I'm quite excited. *giggles* Also, much love to my beta who is patient with me and my quirks! ^ 3^

The prologue will seem very "okay, what just happened?" and "that was short?" and it's supposed to be that way. Just bear with me and hopefully you'll find my tale interesting and compelling. I do warn that there will be dark themes later on, as well as mature relations. So no minors sneaking in *taps your noses*

All characters of InuYasha belong to Rumiko Takahashi and i in no way own them or profit from this fiction.

The sun’s warmth leaked in through Kagome’s deep blue kimono with evergreen layering beneath and a silver sash across her petite waist. The peculiar pattern on the outer layer had caught her attention immediately when she has noticed it in the infirmary.

True, technically she had stolen it, however she believed the previous owner would have forgiven her for the theft. He had been a dying member of the place, no known or given family; the man would not even tell her his name. Kagome had opted to call him whatever name happened across her mind when near, and before his death she had become quite fond of calling him Kei. Though the man never stated any will for his few possessions, she did not think he would have been against her keeping the delicate fabric. She merely hoped no ill will would fall to her for it.

Her eyes squinted in the light reflected off of the river she now crossed, small feet stepping carefully across the red and gold bridge that separated the great village in half.

The bright glare gave her raven locks a blue highlighted appearance, glinting off a few intricate silver hairpins holding bits of her long thick hair, cascading curls of loops flowing every which way. Staring up at the brilliant light, she let her skin revel in the warmth, grinning to the clear sky.

With eyes shut, full black lashes tickling her cheeks, Kagome felt a darkness fall over her, the comfort of the sun vanishing instantly in its wake. Searching for the cause, her lids flew open, where she saw a great terror heading for the village, heading for her.

Armored in deep crimson scales, gleaming sharply in the blocked glow, was a large dragon barreling towards her, its great wings beating with ease. Breath caught in her lungs, her heart almost stopped its pace in her fear.

A sudden blue energy struck the being in the side, causing it to break out in a piercing shriek, luminous embers dripping from its mouth due to the unexpected attack. Before the raging beast was able to fight back, a separate deep green energy ruptured a hole within its wing knocking it off balance.

From the corner of her eye, Kagome saw a man begin heading her way; unsure what to do, she faced him and prepared for the worst.

“What are you doing!?” Eyes inspecting her swiftly “You must be new,” he sneered, “but come now; there is no time to stare! Hurry and call on your powers!”

Blue eyes blinked several times. Before she could blurt out her confusion, a large exploding blast struck them, shattering the wooden pass entirely to send each into a tumbling fall for the deep waters below.

Kagome flailed, looking for something- anything to attach her limbs too but found nothing sturdy and instead closed her eyes tightly, bracing herself for the drowning impact.
