Prologue- What once was...

"Ring around the rosey,

Pocket full of posies

Ashes, ashes

We all fall down."

The sudden scream, from beyond the trees, interrupted the five children who had been playing in the flower meadow. In the blink of an eye they were gone. The only remaining object was a small marble, the color of pink topaz.

☻♥Crying♥☻

"Mother? Father?" a young girl, with a short brown ponytail pushed upon the wooden door. Sango had just been initiated as a demon slayer. Not only was she the youngest taijiya ever, but the strongest, even among the adults. Some whispered that demon blood ran through her veins, for her senses were far superior to those of normal humans. Her mother just cast it off as jealousy, but it never stopped Sango for wishing she was normal; nor, did it stop the village children from teasing her constantly.

The strong, pungent smell of blood seemed to tease her nose. As she ran towards the haunting smell, it grew, so much that it seemed to engulf the poor child. Throwing the door to her parents room open, she spied her mother and father curled up in agony, lying in a pool if blood. The cries of her little brother brought her out of the sudden shock.

"Sango...run...do...not...look...back." Her mother's lips moved, the voice carried to her, but Sango's mind couldn't accept the concept or the sight.

"SANGO!" her father's voice pierced her mind and she moved like lighting. Gathering all that meant something, she threw it in the bag next to the door. She picked up her little brother, Kohaku, from his crib, and looked back at her parents. Her father was standing now, barely, but the sight of her mother brought tears to her eyes. The loving eyes where now glazed over with darkness.

"Daddy?"

"Sango, take care of you little brother, my brilliant slayer. I love both of you." With those last words, her once beautiful home burst in flame. The force of the explosion thrust them backwards to the cold, hard ground. Lifting her ashen face, Sango checked on her crying brother before looking back at the burning house. The fire sent heat down her ice-like body. A figure, just merely a shadow standing in the flames, its hands wrap around a neck. This person wasn't human--this thing was a beast. And this person had taken everything that had ever meant something to her. Revenge sunk into her mind.

'I will revenge you, my father, my mother. Know that I will.' With that promise she ran, towards the second place she could call home. Making sure to never forget the promise, to teach her brother that very promise. Most importantly, to train for the day that she would revenge her family, her name, and everything that was ever taken from her.

☻♥Crying♥☻

She ran, not caring about the smoke that was coming at her from all sides. Nor caring for the feeling of guilt she felt at the pit of her stomach. She ran, because she had been told to. She ran because she had to live. She had to continue living; the sacrifice that was made could not be wasted. Tears ran down the face of the child. Her once long, shining black hair, burnt and only as long as her ears. Her robes barely clung unto her body. Tears created paths down the bloody face. Her demon ears could not take the screams. The smoke was burning off her nose and, even though she was a demon, she couldn't run any longer. Her legs were tired and her breath was coming out in short pants. She hid behind a grove of trees, but then the memories flooded her mind.

"NOOOOO! Daisuke! Emi!" the child screamed into the darkened sky.

○Flash Back○

"My lady, please go back to the meadow!" Daisuke yelled at the approaching girl. His long blue hair was drenched in sweat. The elegant black and gold long-sleeved Chinese suit he wore was ripped everywhere. As if he had already been fighting. He stayed standing strong, and tears blurred her vision as he began to cast his spell. A huge demon stood behind her guardian. She could hear the screams coming from the throne room, and among other places in the castle.

"I won't! I won't leave! I love you!" the princess screamed back, watching helplessly. It was as she if she was frozen. Arms grabbed her small waist and ran away from Daisuke. She couldn't struggle, all she could do was watch as the man she loved fought for their survival. A stinging slap brought her out of her inner thoughts.

"Stop acting like a scared bitch! If you're going to be ruler one day you have to learn to stand up for what you believe in! You have to show a person who's the boss! Fight to protect or fight to live! Either way you're fighting for something!" Emi stood in front of the princess. They were in a different part of the castle. The yells were almost impossible to hear. The pink hair that belonged to the mage in front of her was tangled. She was panting, bleeding, and a total disaster. And even with all that, she still was beautiful. As her name stated. The sleeveless black and gold, tight-fitting Chinese dress that was meant to constrict her movement, made her even faster.

"Emi, I'm scared. What am I going to do?" the pleading silver eyes struck a cord in the young mage's heart. She and Daisuke were lovers. All the princess had done was make sure that all their plans were ruined. The child loved Daisuke and wanted him for herself. She hated Emi for being with Daisuke, but she still owed her guardian, both of them, her very life.

"You will stop being selfish. And you will live," the mage's rose-colored eyes latched unto the silver ones, "and most importantly, Yukio, you will stay strong and won't cry when this is all over." She picked up the frightened princess and flung her through the open window, as a demon plunged into room, knowing the child would remain unhurt from the fall.

"You will not touch my child!" Emi's body launching towards the boar demon was the last thing the young princess saw before plunging into the cold river that ran along the east side of their castle.

The two brothers who were much alike in looks, but not in behavior, jumped from the tree tops to their home.

"Father! Mother!" both boys yelled in unison. Their demon father was fighting the mortal men that had dared to attack his home. Bodies of those humans already dead, layered the ground. Sesshomaru's mother stood in front of Inuyasha's mother, defending the wounded mortal. The female demon cut her attacker in half with her whip, before picking up the frail women. She leapt away from the battlefield and landed in front of her sons.

"Sesshomaru, take Mitsuko away from here. Please, my darling son. Protect her and Inuyasha." Aya kissed her son's crescent moon, rubbed Inuyasha's cute little doggie ears, and smiled to both, her son and her surrogate son. She flipped backwards and landed behind their father, fighting side by side with her husband.

"Goodbye, mother," Sesshomaru whispered knowing that he would never see her again. He tightened his hold on his new mother, and looked at Inuyasha. Nodding their heads, they turned around and ran.

It wasn't till later that they heard the roaring of their father. They understood then and there, as they cleaned the wounds of their mother.

"I'm sorry, Sesshomaru." Inuyasha's voice spoke softly over the roar.

"We will endure," Sesshomaru stated, his eyes concentrating on healing the still-bleeding wound. Inuyasha nodded, but never saw or smelt the tears that had run down Sesshomaru's face. His mother was dead, but they still had Inuyasha's and they would endure.

A child in a an large kimono, sat in the abandoned flower field, throwing the marble she had found up and down. The rain began to pour down hard and quick. She looked around with coco-brown eyes, trying to find her mother. Nothing could be seen but trees and flowers. Her breath quickened and tears welled up in her eyes. Sniffling and mewling sounds spilled from her lips. The child was slowly overtaken by a blazing pure white light that surrounded her body. Screams of pain began to ring out from every corner of the world. The sounds so painful, that they made the little girl scream with them.

"Kagome? Kagome!" the child dropped from her place in the sky, the light no longer engulfing her body. A women carrying a baby and an umbrella, calmly walked over to her crying girl.

"Oh dear, see this is what happens when you run away." The sky's clouds had almost dispersed as if no storm had ever been there. The only evidence were the drops of water, dripping from the grass. The child smiled innocently to the older women, and she could only sigh.

"Well, come along. Your father won't keep waiting for us. What do you have there? A marble? Kagome you shouldn't pick stuff up from the ground, okay? Now, come on." Her mother began to walk away from flower meadow where the child sat. Holding the marble to her chest, it quickly sunk in, before Kagome even realized it. Following her mother, she gave a last, longing look at the flowers before running after her mother.

5 Months Prior

"Duck. Duck. Goose!" a girl child tagged a dog-eared boy before running around the circle.

"Not so fast Kagome," he yelled as he scampered up and ran after her. She sat down before he was able to tag her head.

"Alright, Kagome!" the two girls beside her cheered. The boy in front of her sent a simple smile before getting up and tackling his brother, for daring to tag him.

The laughter that the children produced rang through out the forest.

A/N- Yay! I hope you all enjoyed the story. I will be posting my next chapter in what I hoping is a week. Yes it was a weird ending but remember it is a Prologue and they never tend to make sense till you actually read more chapters. Trust me writing this was difficult, especially with some characters screaming into my ear: glares at Inuyasha: but I got it done thanks to the lovely invention of duck tape. So I shall be taking my prize to bed now for some lovely sleep cause it's like 1 o'clock and I'm tired.

Lets go Yashie :enter evil laugh:

Bye Bye People Have a fun Night, I know I will.

Now I just need to hunt down Sesshomaru.....
