:Prologue:
The woods of feudal Japan were still and quiet beneath the darkness of night. The only sound was the slight rustling of tree branches in the gentle evening breeze. The scents of the forest carried on the breeze to the waiting nose of a man out for an evening walk.
The demon lord strolled easily through the forest, a man at ease in his own territory. His head was held high with the slight arrogance of one aware of his power and nobility, and his long strides were purposeful. Black hair was caught by the breeze as keen gray eyes pierced the surrounding darkness. The demon lord had a destination, and was eager to get there. She would be waiting…
Then he was there, and she was standing where she always did, beneath her favorite oak tree. Her eyes met his, and the beautiful smile he yearned for all day spread across her face. She pushed a lock of dark hair from her face and stepped toward him. In an instant the demon was there and holding the human girl in his embrace.
"I love you, you know," he whispered. The girl replied by pulling his face down for a kiss.
"And I you," she murmured after their lips parted.
The demon tenderly brushed another errant stand of hair from his beloved's face. "I fear for your safety. My rivals of other tribes would be only too eager to use my love for you against me," he said softly, concern darkening his features.
The girl rested her head on the demon's chest and sighed. "I know…"
"I am certain that they already know of you. I have to take you somewhere safe," he said.
The girl looked up at him. "I… I have to tell my family that I'm leaving. They will wonder what has become of me, and I couldn't live knowing that they were worried about me," she said, her voice pleading.
The demon considered. "I do not wish to risk your safety any longer than possible, but one more day should be acceptable. I will meet you here again tomorrow night, and take you to my home."
The girl beamed. "I am so glad you want me in your life, even if I am just a human. You must be crazy," she said, eyes shining. The demon grinned. "Crazy or in love, I believe they are synonymous. But how could I not love a woman with such an incredible spirit and beauty? I would be crazy not to," he said and picked her up. She squealed and put up a pretend struggle, kicking her feet and giggling.
The demon growled and caught her lips with his own. Their play found its way to the mossy forest floor, and they embraced in their love and passion for one another.
Unknown to them, a terrible conflict occurred far away in a small village. The hanyou Inuyasha and the priestess Kikyo faced each other for one horrible second, and her arrow flew. It pierced the hanyou's chest and pinned him to a massive tree, the object he had stolen flying from his grasp. He descended into a slumber that would last fifty years. The priestess was mortally wounded, and as she died, a new life was conceived in the belly of the demon lord's lover.
The next day. . .
The dark haired girl walked eagerly through the woods, a pack full of her most important possessions slung over one shoulder. It had not been easy for her parents to accept that she was leaving, but they knew when she had her mind set there was no stopping her.
She was unaware that her village was now burning, her parents murdered. And her beloved was far away, trapped into a terrible battle. . .
When she reached the meeting place, a demon who was not her lover was waiting. He grabbed her before she could even cry out. Her human strength was no match for that of his youkai power… Tears ran down her cheeks and she looked about desperately for her mate. Why was he not here waiting for her?
"You are beautiful, for a human. I think I shall play with you before gutting you and hanging your corpse in this tree," the disgusting demon hissed into her ear.
The girl screamed with fear and anger, and then with surprise when a blue glow surrounded her. It seemed to start at her stomach and encased her entire body. She found herself flying through time and space, and fell into unconsciousness.

"Mama! I'm home," Kagome called as she ran through the front door. Her mother shook her head as if she had been deep in a daydream.
"Hello, dear. Are you hungry?" she asked her daughter, smiling a welcome.
