A New Way To Live by Wandering Gypsy

Prologue

My name is Kagome. I am, at first glance, a normal human teenager. But, as much as I wish for that life, it is far beyond my grasp. Unlike most teenagers and some adults, I know what it is like to fight for your life. I have dedicated my life to something and plan to follow it through. I have found out some secrets that would ruin many powerful people if found out. They don't know who I am since their cronies only report what they can remember. But, to keep their information secret, they would stop at nothing to silence me.

I found out the truth by accident. I was younger , only fourteen, when I attracted the eye of a snobby man named Kouga. He was the one that showed me the truth. After that he was determined to keep me. I refuse to go through the shame of being kept like a pet again. He taught me many things though. They are the only thing that has kept me alive all this time. I ended up escaping, but at a great cost. Lets just say I will never see Kouga again and no one else will too. He is gone. The man, boy really, who showed me that demons were real, is dead now. I was forced to kill him. The others found out about Kouga's pet. They know that I had too much information on them to be allowed to life. But every time they tried to kill me I was able to escape. I moved all over the world with my friend, Sango.

I should have never brought her into this. She was my only friend in school, and when I started to run, she insisted to come along. I know that she could defend herself against normal people, but demons...she couldn't. Then one day, while I was out, Sango was kidnaped. A note explained that in exchange for her life, I was to keep my mouth shut.

For a while it worked. They said that they would kill her if I dare speak of their secret. But for some odd reason they couldn't believe me when I said that I had no intention or desire to tell. After underestimating my intelligence, they killed Sango. They then had the gall to lie about it. Last year, when it happened, I vowed to destroy them if only for revenge in Sango's name.

I have almost succeeded. But I fear I have made a great error. Somewhere along the way one of the last two left, found out who I am. Though he does not wish to kill me, he longs for something much worse. He wishes to capture me and make me his. No, I do not mean the foolish notion that marrying someone makes them yours. This is in no way romantic. What I mean, is that he desires to make me obey him with heart and soul. To take my desires and destroy them, while replacing them with the mindless wish to grant his.

Because of that my time is running short. I go after the last demon I know of and pray that he won't find me. For even god can not save me, if Naraku finds me now.

AN: My prologue is in Kagome's point of view but the rest is going to be mostly narrative with a little bit of the character thoughts....unless you convince me other wise ^-^! Now I need to know the spelling of Kagome's last name and the last name (True or yours) of Naraku, Sesshomaru, Inuyasha, Kikyo (she is going to die, I think), Miroku, and Sango. Thankz! I hope you like this story and I should warn you that I have no intention of making a happy ending. Oh, and please email any great ideas!
