Prologue. Intro.

The sun glowered like a brilliant red lantern as it set into the horizon setting everything alight. A little village nestled comfortably in the heart of the huge green hill.

Far off, a huge intimidating castle towered above the small towns, the sun's red light reflecting from its huge glass windows making it all the more unreal and untouchable.

A huge tree leaned over a small cottage house near the edge of the village.

Something moved in the dense branches of the tree. A natural predator, a demon, something to be wary of.

As the intimidating figure leaned forward, silky strands of shoulder length silver hair shifted slightly to the back baring a masculine male visage. Staring at something delectable or rather someone delectable with its penetrating liquid amber eyes. His eyes raked over the figure in a lascivious manner.

A supple dainty figure hummed quietly in the small green backyard of the cottage, innocently oblivious of the audience she had attracted. Her exceedingly long waterfall of luscious raven hair cascaded down her back, reaching her hips.

Sweet singing sparrows...

Come down to me...

She sang, her mesmerizing bell-like rich voice flowed out of her pouty pink lips. She continued picking the dry linen from the clothesline whilst she sang to her heart's content. Suddenly, a little blue sparrows flew down from the sky, chirping happily at the sight of her.

The raven haired beauty lifted her head up, smiling and giggling.

A small gasp escaped from inside the dense leaves of the tree.

Big dazzling baby blue irises shone from under heavy long sooty lashes. She giggled and twirled around happily basking in the love of the birds as they flew around her appraisingly.

"Kagome!" A harsh voice resounded in the distance "Hurry it up will you! There's plenty of dirty dishes piled up already!"

"Coming, aunt Beth!" The beauty - Kagome - said happily with her incognizant innocence. She picked up her basket of dried clothes, held it to her waist and whispered quiet goodbyes to her little birdy friends.

The birds sung sadly as they fluttered their wings in flight, gloomy at the thought of leaving their friend behind. Kagome bent her head and entered the small door leading to the diminutive cottage.

The silver haired figure sighed wistfully. Golden eyes glowed and narrowed in appraisal as they watched the ethereally celestial girl enter the small home. The girl entered her home safely and the door shut behind her.

The figure rose from its perch and the red sunlight finally revealed him, a tall heavily muscled male demon of an Adonis. He had shoulder length silver hair and intense liquid amber eyes.

He watched through the tiny window as the beautiful girl moved, gathering dirty dishes. His chest rumbled with pleasure and his fist clenched as he closed his eyes to concentrate on listening to her sweet singing.

A white cloak hung from his form sinuously and from his slightly pointed elfin ear dangled a red feathered earring that matched his obi. He wore black leather boots and magnificent clothes fit for an imperial.

Leaping in the opposite direction of the house with an effortless grace that only a Daiyoukai can muster, he ran like lightning cutting the damp air with his speed towards the castle and the full moon.
