"Run my child, you have to escape or he'll get you!" a mother told her daughter.

"No mother! I can't leave you here."

"Go, my time has come, you still have your whole live ahead of you."

"Mother!"

"Don't worry, I will always be with you, watching over you. Now go before he finds you!"

"Goodbye mother."

"Goodbye sweetheart... for now." The latter came out in a whisper.

With that the little princess ran as fast as she could with tears in her eyes, knowing that she will never see her beloved mother the Queen and father the King again.

She had seen her father being slashed over his body, trying to safe his kingdom from the one who caused this al, but was too injured to fight and so died trying. And when she turned around once more, she saw someone rip her mother's heart out and stab her in the back multiple times.

Kagome woke with a start. Her midnight blue hair clinging to her face. Breathing heavily in and out.

'Mother, father, one day I will find the one who killed you and avenge your deaths. You can count on that! He will pay dearly, making him wish he was never born!'

Her hatred making her aura grow black and making waves of dark energy role to the floor and disappear with a crackling sound.

KNOCK, KNOCK

"Come in." Kagome breathed.

A young man with icy-blue eyes and long black hair put in a high ponytail walked in.

"Good morning Kagome-chan." He said.

"Good morning Kouga-kun."

"Have you slept well?"

"As always since the assassination of my parents."

"Damn, must be frustrating, ne?"

Sigh "Yeah."

"Hey, I know what can get your mind off of the past."

"And what may that be?"

"Let's spar!"

"Sure! And then I can beat you again as always." Kagome said in matter of fact.

"No, I've got a secret weapon." Said Kouga and then laughs like a crazed monkey.

After the assassination of the lord and mistress of the eastern lands, 49 years ago, Kouga had found Kagome in the woods unconscious. He was mesmerized by her beauty. She had knee length midnight blue hair; two identical indigo stripes on each cheek and on her wrists; and a pink circle on her forehead. He couldn't see her eyes yet, for they were closed.

He brought her to his soon to be pack of wolves. The prince ordered some females to tend to the princess's wounds. When she woke up the next mourning the first thing that met her eyes were icy blue eyes, now locked with her stormy blue, gray and violet eyes.

She screamed bloody murder, which made the prince wince and cover his sensitive ears. Then she began to cry for her parents. He tried to calm her down but she didn't want any of it. And when he didn't stop his calming her, she shot a blue ball of energy at him which rendered him paralyzed.

She was so shocked at what she had done that she ran to a corner and cried herself to sleep. The next mourning Kouga came to apologize to her, but the instant he spoke to her she began to cry again, saying that she was sorry, that she didn't mean to hurt him. He said that it was his fault and that he mustn't have kept on pressuring her. After that they became friends. But secretly Kouga hopes that they would be more than friends.

Block, slash, kick, block, slash, block...

This went on 'till Kagome had Kouga pinned to the wall with one of her youkai swords, Kyasarin, while her other sword, Takara, was ready to slice up his throat.

"Surrender, you know you've lost." she said.

"Sou da ka?" he said with a mocking voice.

"Face it, you've lost... again."

"I still have got my secret weapon."

"Oh yeah, and what, pray tell, may that be?"

Grins "TASUKETE!!! She's trying to kill meee!!!"

After he said that, some of his pack came to help their master in need. They were trying to pry her off of their prince.

"Huh? Hey, what is the big idea?! Is this some sick joke, 'cause it isn't funny. Let go of me this instant or face my wrath!"

They immediately let go of her in fear of becoming chop-soy for lunch. They never forgot what she did the last time.

"You're such a wimpy wolf, to let your men do your dirty work!" Kagome yelled at Kouga, who was laughing.

"Your... hahaha... your fffaa... hehehe... your face... priceless... hahaha... ooh, it hurts!"

"Why you! I'm going to beat the HOLY SHIT out of you! You better run this instant." She gave him a you're-dead-if-you-stay-here-so-face-my-wrath look.

He began to run for his life was at stake. He ran like he never ran before. He knew that he was dead, no matter how fast he ran, she would always be faster than him. Good thing he came prepared this time, to block her attacks.

"MODORE KONO TORI! You'll be on the menu for lunch today you chicken!"

"Anou, I think that I still have some chores to do."

"You have nothing to do but run for your life." Kagome licked her lips, liking the thought of a roasted Kouga for lunch.

Fortunately for him, his father came to stop the ruckus.

"Listen up, I don't want to hear anything from you two for today. I've got a splitting headache at the moment and don't need you two to worsen it. And before I forget, a messenger came with an important note. It said that the lord of the western lands is coming in the afternoon. I want you two to behave." With that Okami-sama turned his head and walked away.

Okami-sama was a great leader in his days. And also the second in command of the army of the lord of the western lands. Together they have won war after war from the other lords for land. Now the western lands are bigger much more wider than the eye can see and it's still growing. Thanks to the strong alliance they have.

"You're lucky you chicken, but next time you're going to get it. Mark my words."

"Does anyone have some ink?" he asked mockingly.

"Very funny."

"Yeah, I try." He shrugged.

She just ignored him and went to her room to get her bathing stuff and head for the hot springs nearby.

"Ah, this is the life, unfortunately only when I'm bathing."

Sigh

'Mother, Father. Why did it have to be like this? If that creature never existed, we would be drinking tea and enjoying each other's presence.'

Unbeknownst to her, a man in white with spiky armor spied at her between some bushes.

'Where have I seen her before? She seams awfully familiar. But from where? That symbol; could it be? But they said that she was dead, though they've never found her body.'
