Prologue

"Please don't hurt my father. Don't let him be taken away from me again. He's all that I have … I beg of you, please!"

The shadowed figure let out a grating chuckle, shaking the man that IT held by the neck like he was a rag doll. The look of horror and fear etched upon the young woman's face was exciting to IT. IT was eager to have fun with this one; while IT made sure that she got what IT wanted.

"You prayed for your father to be alive with you once again. You said that you would do anything, to have him with you once again. I went out of my way to answer your prayers, exhausting all of my energy to bring your beloved father back to you. Such great works do not happen without a price, you knew that. You knew that very well and yet you are insolent when I ask a favor of you! I should snap his head off and leave you to suffer in misery, once again."

"Please no! P-please. I-I beg of you, I will do ANYTHING! J-just d-don't… please don't hurt my father."

"No." The man, the young woman's father, feebly coughed out. "Daughter, no! Leave me and save yourself!"

"Silence old man." IT shook him with such power, it was a surprise the man's neck had not just snapped off.

"Anything?" IT asked returning IT's attention upon the girl.

"Yes. Yes, I swear it!"

"NOOOO!"

"I said SILENCE!" IT chuckled once again, that grating sound off a misused engine.

"You are as smart as you are beautiful. You will serve my purposes well. Very well, indeed." The figure started to recede into the pitch darkness of the alley; her father the only the thing not shrouded by the unsettling black, as if to act as a last reminder.

"But what about my-?"

"Not to worry as long as you bring to me the Shikon No Tama he will not face death again. However if you dare to fail me I will not hesitate in killing him, and then I will take pleasure in finding your beloved brother and your mother …. Must I finish that thought? No, I did not think so." IT said as the young woman shook her head 'no'.

"Bring me the Shards of the Shikon Jewel and all will be fine."

"Wait! How am I supposed to get it! I don't know what you want me to do!"

"Anything necessary to bring me that jewel and to save your family. Just do as I told to do."

"No, wait!" But the figure was already gone. And so was her father.

The girl just fell to the ground; anger, despair, fatigue all catching up to her. But she refused to cry. She hadn't cried when this whole mess started and she wouldn't cry now. Crying solved nothing and would waste what little energy she had left.

She was determined to do whatever necessary to save her father.

She had to keep her brother … even her mother from that monster.

She had to find the Shikon no Tama.

She had to find Higurashi Kagome.


Author's Note:

So how was that? This was my first ever published fanfic, that was probably wrong grammar or whatever. Anyways if you more be sure to review!

Adeu!

Oh and one question. Does anyone know the names to Kagome three friends from school? I really need them for what I am planning for the first upcoming (I'll write faster if you review) chapter.

Thanks, Grazie, Gracias, Merci, Arigatou!
