Prologue

The well-sealed trapping Kagome in the Feudal Era once the jewel was wished away. She and Inuyasha decided that they were better off as friends then lovers so he traveled around helping any that needed it. Sango and Miroku had returned to the slayers village to rebuild and start their family. Shippo found a tribe of fox demons that were willing to train him so he spent most of his time there.  Kagome made her home in the village of Edo.

It has been ten years since all of this happened. The villagers began avoiding her at all costs about two years ago and she did not know why. She had decided that the next time Inuyasha came to visit she would see if he would take her to see Sango and Miroku for a while. Perhaps she would take her belongings with her and see if she could stay in their village. Decision made Kagome began to pack up her belongings she did not know how long it would be before Inuyasha showed up for another visit so she wanted to be ready.

A week later Inuyasha came into the village with a female hanyo with him. He immediately knew something was wrong. Brushing it off he made his way to Kagome’s hut the female trailing closely behind him. However he was not prepared for what met him when he got there. Kagome’s hut had been burnt to the ground.

He grabbed the villager nearest to him and growled, “What happened here and where is Kagome?”

The villager cowered under Inuyasha’s glare, “The witch was chased from the village and her hut burnt to the ground about three days ago.”

Inuyasha snarled, “Kagome is not a witch she is a miko!”

Akane placed her hand on his shoulder, “Inuyasha let us leave this place and see if we can find your sister.”

Inuyasha turned a glare on the villager, “Which way did she leave?”

The villager pointed in the direction that Kagome had fled. Inuyasha dropped the villager to the ground and stormed away with Akane hot on his heels. When they reached the edge of the forest Inuyasha put his nose to the air and began to sniff.

He turned to Akane, “I have her scent but we have to hurry I can smell her blood. There is a cave in this direction that I took her to and told her that if anything should happen she will be safe there until I could come.”

Akane nodded her head and they both took off at a fast run toward the cave. They both hoped that she would be there and be safe.

Inuyasha called to Akane as they ran, “Her scent is getting stronger I am almost positive that we will find her in the cave.”

Akane nodded and called back, “We should hurry the scent of her blood is strong.”

With that they both picked up their speed trying to reach Kagome quicker. When they arrived at the cave Inuyasha’s eyes immediately zoned in on a blood trail that lead into the cave. With a deep breath he prepared himself for what he would find praying that Kagome was alive. Akane saw the blood trail as well and her hope was slowly fading there was no way a human could lose that much blood and still survive. When they got to the back of the cave they saw a lot of trunks and over in the farthest corner of the cave they saw a bundled lump covered in blood. Inuyasha rushed over and turned it over only to find Kagome’s blood and tear streaked face.

He looked at Akane, “She is still alive but just barely we need to tend to her wounds and get her cleaned up. Will you bathe and heal her while I hunt?”

Akane nodded her head and walked over to him placing a hand on his shoulder, “She will be fine Inuyasha I will use my healing abilities on her after I get her cleaned up.”

Inuyasha nodded his head, “She must have known something was going to happen. All of these trunks where in her hut the last time I came to visit I will look for something for you to dress her in once she is clean.”

Akane took Kagome from his arms and headed to the hot spring outside the cave to the left of the entrance surrounded by trees. Before she stripped herself and Kagome Inuyasha came through the trees and handed her Kagome’s bathing supplies as well as a kimono for Kagome. Akane thanked him then once he was gone she stripped herself then Kagome and entered the spring.
