Who would have ever thought that a child no more then 3 years old would wind up having an interesting life that some can only dream of. Maho Mamoru or Kid as most called her was a full Inu youkai with many secrets. She was found drifting in the water covered in a soft blue aura. The person who found her was named Mamoru and he was an assassin and a healer. He took her in and raised her until he died on her 3rd birthday. Now she lived alone in his home.

Mamoru had long silver hair and wore a simple male Kimono and had beautiful winter ocean blue eyes.

She lived just out side the capital of the Western lands. She made a living stealing, killing people for money and whatever else she could do to live. She had been given many swords from Mamoru before he died and she always carried two of them at her sides the rest remained hidden at Mamoru's home that now belonged to Maho.

It was a cold winter day and Maho was walking alone the river hopping to find a hole to catch some fish to eat. She walked for along time until she came across a young Inu Youkai playing near by. She recognized who it was immediately; it was the Prince of the Western Lands, Sesshoumaru. 'What is he doing out here alone?' she asked her self as she hide herself in the trees shadows and hoped she was not seen.

"Is someone there?" Sesshoumaru asked, he looked around 9 years old. Sesshoumaru looked around as he thought he had herd something. 'I could have sworn I herd someone,' he thought walking out on to the ice with out really noticing it. 'Oh great, he's going to fall through,' Maho said as she heard a crack in the ice. A second later the ice had broken and Sesshoumaru fell only to be carried off by the fast current water unable to get back to the surface.

Maho jumped down and followed him down the stream until she could find a place to dive in after him. She found her place, about a few meters away from where the ice had broken. She dived in just as Sesshoumaru's body past her. She swam fast as the water was cold and she would not last long. She grabbed on to Sesshoumaru's hand and held on to him while she pulled them both out of the river. Sesshoumaru was blue as he came out of the water but started to warm up instantly. 'I will not do that again,' she said to herself trying to ignore that fact she was freezing.

Sesshoumaru woke up and looked around, the last thing he remembered was falling into the river. "What happened?" he asked himself not expecting an answer. "You fell through the ice and I dived in and pulled you out," a feminine voice said. "Thank you, who are you?" he said thankful the person had saved him. "I'm no one you need to know Sesshoumaru-sama," she said standing up she was small but she was strong. "Your Inu Youkai so why do I not know your face," he said taking him the scent of metal and blood and the underlying scent of fall. "I am nothing really, I live alone and you probably will never see me again, good day Sesshoumaru-sama," she said bowing before walking off. She had no shoes or anything warm on but the cold never bothered her until now.

"Sesshoumaru! Are you alright?" Sesshoumaru's Mother said seeing him sitting on the riverbank. "I'm fine thanks to a girl who dived in and saved me," he said looking in the direction she went. "I'm glad you're alright and what was the girls name?" she asked her song holding him close to keep him warm. "She didn't say but she's full Inu Youkai and she lives alone. She's very young," he said holding on to him mother as they went back to the castle. "Are you sure my son? There are no children like that in the area," she said trying to figure out who saved her son; her scent had been washed off in the river. "She lives alone, Oka-san I want to met her again she was nice," Sesshoumaru said happily even though his face remained unchanged.

Maho entered the house it was quiet big and warm. She removed her clothing and changed into something warmer before starting the fire and falling a sleep. She awoke when she heard a knock on the door. "Anyone home?" a voice came. Maho got up to see whom it was and was surprised at whom the visitors were. "Excuse me child but are your parents here?" the male youkai said. "I have no parents but if you wish to talk come on in," she said bowing and opening the door.

The man nodded and entered followed by Sesshoumaru and his mother. "Are you all alone child?" she asked looking at the small Youkai in front of her. Maho nodded and sat by the fire. "From what my son told me you saved his life, is it true?" she asked sitting in front of the child. "Yes I was in the area when I noticed him and I dived in and got him out," she said pulling her knees to her chest. "Thank you for saving him, Tell me why are you all alone?" she asked noticing that the house showed only signs of her living there. "Mamoru found me when I was a child he died recently, I will stay here as he asked me to," she replied hiding her face under her hair.

"Mamoru was a good Youkai, the news of his passing is sad," the guard that had come with them spoke up. "Poor child," Sesshoumaru's mother said feeling sad for the child. "How old are you?" Sesshoumaru asked. "About 3 years old," she said quietly and Sesshoumaru stood up in shock. "What type of parent abandons their child when there first born?" he said loudly. "I don't know where I'm from or if I have parents. I was found drifting in the Ocean with a glow protecting me," she replied looking at him darkly. "I'm sorry," he said quietly after seeing the pain in her eyes. "Don't be I'm use to it and it does not both me that I have no one to help me," she said poking at the fire. "Oka-san can she live with us for a while?" Sesshoumaru asked looking at his mother. "If she wants to, she did save you after all," she said calmly looking at Maho. "That would be nice," she smiled before adding. "I'm called Maho, Maho Mamoru. Most call me Kid," she said bowing low.

"Maho that's a nice name, call me Aura and you know Sesshoumaru already," she said looking at the eyes of a happy child wondering how long that happiness would last. "Maho! Get out here!" a bunch of voices yelled. Maho stopped smiling and opened the door only to have rocks thrown at her. "What do you want?" she yelled. "You gone, you're only a pain. You little bitch," one of them said throwing another rock, which was caught by Maho. "You think you I will leave? Get real!" she said charging at them full speed with two swords, killing most of them easily. "Leave me I do not wish to be disturbed by meaning less things," she said turning as they picked up the dead and went back inside.

"I believe that child needs to be taken care of and trained don't you think Aura-sama?" the guard asked as they all watched her move and kill. "Yes I believe she can be use full when she is older," she replied as Maho stepped in. "How did you learn to do that?" Sesshoumaru asked standing in front of her. "Mamoru taught me," she replied and that was her answer to many questions as it was true Mamoru had trained her at a young age to protect herself.

The three Youkai decided to learn more about this young child and stayed for the night.

After a night of talking, Maho moved in to the main castle where she lived and trained for years becoming stronger and more powerful. She had gown up beautifully she had a thin body, strong muscles and a very intelligent mind. She still lived in her old place as it was important for her and it was a good place to go to be alone. She would go home and sit and reflect on her past. She had respect of everyone in the whole area and more of the surrounding area but few people respected her, on number of occasions when she was still young people would though stones at her and try and chase her off. Even with the people always changing, most were humans, she saw hundreds of years pass in there time and there always was a time were she was hated, she never knew the reasons nor did she want to know.

She would live along side Sesshoumaru until she vanished for 5 years. She was sent into the future 500 years to set everything in motion. Sesshoumaru had once wanted to mate with her but discovered that she could never bare an heir and that she did not return his feelings as strong. Maho had what someone would say Emotionally challenged, as she really had no emotion. She had never shown attraction to any other male Youkai in the area. Sesshoumaru had watched her grow up and felt sorry for her not being able to want anything, she rarely asked for things like clothing, food, power, and affections. It saddens many people because she saw suffering everyday and she was drowning him her own world of pain.

Kagome was the next female to attract him like Maho; she was strong, smart and very kind. "I may not have a lover but that does not mean I can't help my friend fall in love with someone else close to me," Maho said watching from the trees as a battle started between the brothers.

There I fixed what I could find, which was, quiet a lot well next chapter ne?
