Chapter 1: Grains of Sand

She was a chubby, happy baby, who laughed a lot and cried very little. She was the perfect baby for the new parents, particularly for a father that was frequently on call. She was especially active for her age, crawling early and taking her first wobbly steps well before reaching her first full year. It was like she was on a mission, a happiness mission, spreading joy and laughter to all those who met her.

It started fairly early on, her mother noticed. A peculiar thing. No matter how clean she washed the sheets, or how recently Kagome was bathed, every time she roused from sleep, there would be sand on her hands and feet. Not a whole lot, it started as just a few grains here and there. But it was persistent and Mrs. Higurashi became gradually more and more obsessed, critically checking the laundry after washing, gently probing her daughters hands when she woke. It was always there and she could never find the source. All the while, Kagome would giggle and laugh and make odd, gleeful noises and Mrs. Higurashi couldn't help but love and adore this little bundle of joy that tumbled into her life.

And then it happened that one day, after Mr. Higurashi had left to save more lives at the hospital, that Mrs. Higurashi swept in to scoop up little baby Kagome in her arms, to discover the most peculiar thing. Kagome's tiny little baby fist had sported a trophy, somewhere between last night and this morning. In those little, chubby, tightly closed fists, several strands of long, silver hair glittered in the morning sun. Mrs. Higurashi frowned, more confused than ever, while Kagome happily waved her little fists, giggling gleefully.

"Ah! Ah! Ah!"
