Push Mrs. Higurashi she is almost there, just a little longer, push.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhh” screamed Mrs. Higurashi as her daughter was born.

12:00am

October 12th

"Your child was born fine Mrs. Higurashi no complications what so ever. You have a beautiful baby girl." As the doctor handed over the new baby girl to be named mrs. Higurashi confirmed in her mind that she would name her daughter Kagome. She believed it to be a fitting name. Then as her child opened her eyes and gazed up at her mother mrs. Higurashi noticed that the color of her eyes where all wrong. They were blue, but it was impossible to have them because no one in her family or her husbands family had blue eyes. "Interesting"  was the only thought in her mind. curious about what the rest of her daughter might look like she opened the bundle of cloth that surrounded her daughter to find that the childs hair was silver.

Then all of a sudden the door burst open and a man in dark grey and black clothing with silver hair like her daughters walked in. he had piercing green eyes. He glanced around the room before his eyes fell on mrs. Higurashi, but then they looked past her to her daughter and said the one thing that made everything all the more stranger.

"Kagome"

Mrs. Higurashi was speechless. She could not believe her ears how could this stranger know the name of my daughter if I had only just thought of it now that she was born. Impossible, I cant be, who IS this man. Mrs. Higurashi was then brought out of her inner turmoil when the man began to speak. His voice was deep and rich but his face was aged and wrinkled.

“I come with a prophecy for the child Kagome.” As he said this he nodded in the direction of the baby. All was quite in the hospital room, as if everyone was paralized by his presence.

To a time long past

not yet to know her true strenght

meets a man thats not truly whole

strenght and power yes but the cup is only half full

back farther still my flower goes

a slip yet not accident

the flower has yet to bloom

delicate it is yet it does not grow

meets a man not yet grown

a boy more beast then the one before

forward she goes to where she started

to unite two boys whose fight is wrong

they unite to fight a common goal

here the flower blooms and an angel gains its wings

but that is not all

for evil still lurks beyond grave

for she is the cure

to their plague

the flower turned angel to save the day

but be careful where she falls

cus she is the key to their downfall

in the wrong hands she turns

and an end to the world they know

but if the boy more beast then man

smells his scent and takes the chance

then their world might stand a fighting chance.

This is my prophecy to you remember for it will come to pass, train her well and she will not fall.

And with that said he left the building and disappeared into the night.

"Cough cough mrs. Higurashi now that he is gone do you have a name for your daughter yet?" Asked the doctor.

"Umm, yes her name is Kagome, Kagome Higurashi."
