Roses of Ice

*~Prologue~*

A crying sound pierced the air surrounding the castle. Everyone stopped and listened.

"Queen Sakura has had her child!" They whispered delightedly. Inside the castle, a man and his wife cradled the newborn. Long black hair already adorned her head, and her teeth were snow-white. As they watched she opened her eyes. Stormy grey-blue with flecks of luminous ice-blue.

"A ten-tail!" The King whispered. Happiness filled his eyes as her stared at the child.

"Her name is Kagome…" A voice said. The two didn't flinch at the voice.

"Kagome… Thank you, Ice…" The two stared delightedly at the child…Their child.

However their happiness was short-lived. A crash sounded from the outside. The family looked up in panic. A giant rat glared down at them with a smile. On its head was a mischievous-looking man. His skin was a sickly pale green, and his eyes were a disgusting brown. Greasy olive-brown hair adorned his head, and curled around his elf-like ears.

"Akunin!" The King snarled, and drew his sword. The man chuckled.

"Remember me do you?" He said in a silky voice.

"Quick! Take Kagome, and run away!" The King ordered Sakura.

"But…"

"Do it!" The Queen nodded, and raced out of the castle. Demon-like creatures raced after her. She pounded through the forest, and reached a clearing. In the center was a well. She ran to the well, and stopped.

"The bone-eaters well… Sister… Take care of my daughter…" with that she flung Kagome into the well. A blue light flashed as Sakura turned to face the demons. She watched them as they watched her. Then they struck.

And 500 years in the future, Mrs. Higurashi found a crying Kagome in the well.

What do you think people? My first fan-fic ever! Not bad, hopefully. Anyway, you probably hear this all the time, but Reviews please. I need them to keep writing. And I don't own Inuyasha of course. Chapter 1 is being worked on right now.
