Chapter One - The Midnight Forest

High above the midnight forest, a streak of silver light briefly illuminated the darkness. To any ordinary human it would have appeared as nothing more than a shooting star. But to the miko below, it was anything but ordinary. Her keen eyes caught the flash of light as it passed by her unnoticed by most - the great taiyoukai Sesshomaru.

She stopped long enough to note his passing, then turned and continued her walk in to the distance, a trio of soul catchers floating behind her on the breeze.

Indeed this was anything but ordinary. Sesshomaru moved with great speed, being driven along an unknown path by something disturbing. The night breeze carried the scent of jasmine and honey - a scent that had becoming comforting to him. But this perfume was now laced with the overwhelming odor of blood and tears and death.

From above the trees, Sesshomaru could see the clearing below where the bone-eater's well lay. This was where the scent was leading him. The taiyoukai's normally cold, composed face broke momentarily with the shock at what he saw.

Curled in a ball, a mass of trembling flesh, hair tangled and matted with blood, Kagome struggled with consciousness. Blood soaked what remained of her clothes.

"Miko...," he spoke with surprising gentleness.

"Onegai......iie." The words barely passed her lips, each breath she took more shallow than the last.

"What..." he began with uncharacteristic confusion tainting his voice. "Where are your companions? Where is my brother? I can smell him on you - why is he not with you?"

As Sesshomaru reached for her broken body, blessed darkness swallowed the miko, giving her temporary peace, but leaving the great taiyoukai with no answers.

In his arms, the damage became apparent. The greatest amount of blood seeped from a wound to her chest. With cold clarity, Sesshomaru realized that the Shikon no Tama, the powerful jewel guarded by the miko, was gone, ripped from her very flesh. A deep cut from the left side of her neck to the base of her shoulder left a trail of blood running down her side.

Questions plagued his mind as he lifted Kagome into his arms and carried her into the cool night air.
