"My little precious child. You are promised with many things throughout your lifetime. Wealth, love, and beauty." Her mother looked inside of Kagome's crib and smiled out of gratitude to have such a lovely child. Her large brown eyes looked up at her mother in such joy. Kagome let out a giggle as she reached up her little hands. Her mother's lithe index finger stroked her soft tiny ones. Little Kagome held her mother's finger. That made them both smile even more. The connection between the two of them was strong.

Kagome inhaled her mother's heavenly scent as she was held against her soft bosoms. Her slow and steady cradling made the innocent infant drift off into her sweet dreams. For awhile, her mother was worried deeply for both of their safety. Lately, someone was invading their home while they were both asleep.

One night in Kagome's room, a shadowy figure lurked its way inside without making a noise. The figure had long tresses of the silkiest silver hair ever. His golden amber orbs beamed through the darkness. The shadows prevented anyone from seeing his true form.

He saw the baby sleeping in her crib.

"You have your future set in my hands. One day, you shall grow..."

Those words echoed in Kagome's head while she dreamt. She tossed her head slowly from side to side. Then she turned her little body over to the side to get more comfortable. After that, she let out a soft coo, smiling. She had a sense of what that person meant but did not understand it completely. One day, they will have ample meaning to her.

Suddenly, her mother walked in the bed room and gasped. Her heart began to thump harshly.

"Who...who are you?" she cowered against the door.

The person looked at her with glaring eyes before he stroked little Kagome's cheek with one of his long clawed fingers.

"Don't you dare touch her! What is wrong with you?! You're sick!!" Her mother screeched. A hot tear ran down her cheek. Something inside of her sparked with fury. Quickly, she walked over to this murky person and reached in her crib. She looked down at the baby and checked for any scratches or bruises. "Thank goodness, you're okay..."

Her eyes angrily shot up to see nothing.

"What in the world?! Who is he--How did he--" She felt like she was about to faint.

Kagome just woke up and looked up at her curiously. She turned her head slowly towards the window and pointed in that direction while giggling.

"Don't worry, I will keep you safe." Her mother held her close to her heart.
