CHAPTER 1

Five years ago:

Where is that girl!? The eldest member and current King of the northern tribe asked himself about his unruly granddaughter.

‘It is not normal for her to sleep in so late,’ he continued thinking as he entered the cavern leading to her private bedchambers.

‘Even after her parents died, she didn't let herself go for this long.’ He thought. Deciding he had waited long enough, he determined, “I shall go wake her."

He walked into her room and found her and all of her various weapons missing.

On the well kept bed lay a single sheet of paper. He frowned as he picked it up, and read it. After reading the note, he fell to his knees, shaking his head with tears leaking from his eyes, and whispered to himself horrified, "Oh no, What have I done?"

After twenty minutes of wallowing in self pity, he called for the guards and demanded, "You are to go to the eastern tribe and inform their leader Koga, that I need him here- immediately! Tell him that I will explain when he gets here and do not delay." The guards bowed their heads and left to carry out the order of their king.

One week later, Koga, who upon receiving the message, had set out for the homeland of his old comrade, reported to the King and said, "I am here Elder as you requested,” bowing respectfully to the old man.

Noticing the old man’s drawn features, he questioned, “What is so urgent?" The Elder handed him the note and Koga read it to himself.

Grandfather,

I am ashamed that I fell for such a dastardly trick and even more than this, I cannot bear to see the looks of utter disappointment from you anymore.

I screwed up royally and Because of it, I feel as if I would not be able to fulfill my duties to the tribe as leader when the time comes. Please try to understand, I feel that I cannot lead our clan after being fooled so easily. Granted I am still very young, but it should not have been allowed to happen.

I am so sorry for letting you down and I will always hold you dear to my heart! As my only living relative, you are always on my mind.

I can no longer bear to see you disappointed in me. I am however, wise enough to know that it should never have been allowed to happen and I cannot forgive myself for my foolishness; therefore, I have no choice but to leave and survive on my own from here on out.

I must prove something to myself. I take with me one blanket, my weapons, my knowledge and training; which I will be forever grateful for, and my clothes.

Fear now, for I hold complete confidence that my fighting skills will aid me well enough. But I also feel that I will never be able to lead our illustrious clan after making such a folly so easily. So, this is something I must do, for myself, and for the betterment of our clan.

Goodbye my beloved grandfather, I shall forever be grateful for your guidance and love.

With my deepest love always,

Your granddaughter, Leiko.

After reading the note, Koga looked up at the elder asking confused, "What is she referring to?" With a heavy heart, the elder slowly explained the situation she’d been referring to.

FLASHBACK one month ago:

As his granddaughter, who was currently hugging her knees and crying, sniffled, Komo asked concerned, "Leiko?"

"Gra... Grandfather." she flung herself into his arms and started crying harder. "Oh Grandfather, I'm sorry! I’m so sorry," she cried, with tears continuing to fall from her eyes.

"What happed dear?" he asked, trying to understand what had upset her so much.

"Oh grandfather, I can’t believe that I was so stupid!" she replied, crying even harder.

"I... I thought he loved me..." she bawled, clinging to him for comfort.

"Who child?" Komo asked, trying to grasp the entire situation.

"Dr... Draven." She wailed hysterically.

Her grandfather sighed heavily and ordered, "Tell me what happened child." placing a single hand on her head as a means of comforting her.

"We... I... He... he said he loved me and was gonna claim me as his mate- so... I... He lied to me! He only wanted to use me to claim the throne after you...” she broke off crying hard enough her entire tiny body shook. Taking a deep breath she continued, “But I didn't know at the time so... I... I...” lower lip trembling she yelled out, “I gave myself to him! Oh grandfather, please forgive my stupidity!" she begged ashamed of her actions.

Her grandfather sighed heavily again. "Well, I should have seen it coming sooner or later,” he said. Adding in a firmer voice, “but I thought you would have been smarter than that! I am deeply disappointed in you Koneko.” Searching her neck and shoulder, he was relieved not to find a mating mark and said, “He didn't mark you though, so we should be thankful for at least for that much."

Hearing the deep disappointment in her guardian’s voice, she whispered ashamed, "I'm so sorry grandfather..." and the child cried even harder.

Knowing she was already paying for her foolishness, Komo said, "Well child, what's done is done." with pure disappointment in his eyes as he looked down at her.

“I’m sorry grandfather, " she said as she got up and ran into her room, flinging herself on the bed; before curling into a fetal position, crying her heart out and eventually cried herself to sleep.

The next morning an hour before sunrise, she thought to herself, "I should leave here and never come back. Forgive me grandfather."

She carefully wrote a note to him and kissed it, leaving it on the bed. She quietly gathered her weapons, clothes, and one blanket. After packing the few items she was taking with her, she looked around the room one last time, and then crawled out of the cave and ran off into the night.

END FLASHBACK!

Koga slowly nodded his head. The elder spoke up, "I was such a fool Koga, and now, I can't believe she’s gone," sadness in his eyes and regret in his tone.

He looked right at Koga and said, "You two were best friends- practically since you were pups, before your tribe moved away four years ago. You two were even trained under the same teachers.”

Casting his pride aside, he pleaded, “Find her for me Koga. Please, find my granddaughter and bring her back to me!"

Still looking Koga in the eyes and now crying, added, "Koga, whatever it takes, I want you to bring me back my darling grandbaby."

Koga nodded his head and vowed, “I will set out at first light. Rest assured honorable elder- I will find her no matter how long it takes." with sheer determination in his eyes and voice.

Relieved that he had the best possible being out there searching for her, Komo said, "Thank you Koga, you are an honorable man- I knew I could count on you!" He added, "I will write a letter for you to hand her when you find her too."

Sitting down the elder wrote the letter, folded it into an envelope, and handed it to Koga after sealing it with his royal seal. "Make sure she gets this letter Koga and bring my grandbaby back."

Koga nodded his head said, "Rest assured, I will bring her back to you, oh honorable one." The elder nodded his head. Respectfully Koga bowed and took his leave.

Outside Koga called for Ginta and Hakaku and they came to him. "Ginta, Hakaku, Ready the wolves, we leave at first light!" he commanded.

They both replied, "As you wish Koga." The next morning at first light the trio all set out to search for Koga’s missing childhood friend.

Present time:

"Kaede, Kaede, please don't die on me," begged the young demoness as he lightly shook her mentor.

Kaede looked up and said, "Rest assured child, I will not be leaving this world just yet." as she weakly smiled at the younger female.

The distraught woman exclaimed relieved, "Oh Kaede, I’m so glad!” adding in a softer tone, “You scared me there, for a minute I was afraid that..." unwilling to voice her fears out loud.

Kaedee smiled, “I am fine Leiko. I am just an old woman and I was resting till ye came back. So, how did it go? Did ye find the ingredients I asked for?" as she slowly sat up with the younger woman’s assistance.

Leiko handed Kaedee the basket, brimming with freshly picked herbs and replied, "Yes Kaede, I found them."

She smiled and Kaede nodded her head. "Good, now we can prepare the food, so that when Kagome and the others return tonight, we will have plenty to go around.” as she slowly moved to her feet, carrying the basket.

Together they set about preparing the meal for their friends. After the food was finished, Inuyasha and company arrived. "Ah, I see ye have made it just in time for the food as usual Inuyasha." Kaede greeted amused.

Inuyasha laughed, "Great ‘cause I'm starving!" giving them a goofy grin.

Knowing his famous appetite, Leiko laughed and replied, "So why doesn’t that surprise me Inuyasha?"

As the savory aromas assaulted her nostrils, Kagome added, "This sure smells great you two, thanks!"

Leiko grinned and said, "You’re welcome Kagome." preparing their plates.

Sango smiled and said, "Nice to see you two again as well." as she sat her gigantic demon bone weapon against the outer wall of the small hut.

Kaede smiled and said, "It's is good seeing ye again as well." Happy the young travelers had returned relatively safe.

Miroku piped up, "Leiko, you are looking healthy as always." admiring the sheer beauty of the demoness.

Leiko smirked and replied, "Thanks Miroku, but you had better remember to keep your hands to yourself, monk!" she warned. Everyone laughed.

Shippo jumped into Leiko's lap as she sat with them, and informed her excitedly, "I helped a lot this time! I got three of them all by myself." giving her a proud grin.

Leiko smiled rubbing his head affectionately and said, "That’s great Ship- Ship!" Shippo beamed at her praise and Leiko hugged him, before he jumped back into Kagome's lap.

Leiko picked up the cloak Kaede had given her four years ago as a birthday gift, and announced that she was going for a soak in the hot springs. Kagome and Sango decided to join her.

At the hot springs:

"So how did you all fair this time?" asked Leiko, curious to hear of their latest exploits.

"Not too bad actually," Kagome replied, while stripping of her clothes.

"Yeah, we added three shards this time out." added Sango, placing her boomerang against a sturdy tree.

Leiko removed her cloak and her garments, before climbing into the steamy water and said, "That’s great!"

"So, when will you be ready to resume your training with Kaede?" Leiko asked the younger priestess.

"Really soon I hope." replied Kagome, as she glided into the warm soothing water.

"Hey Leiko, how long have you trained with Kaede now?" Kagome asked curiously.

Tapping her chin thoughtfully, Leiko replied, "Hm, let’s see… about four and half years now."

"With Naraku gone now, all we still have to do is find the remaining half of the jewel." added Sango.

"Good luck," said Leiko as she released her hair to flow around her tanned shoulders.

"Thanks." Kagome and Sango replied in unison. The trio of females bathed and soaked a while enjoying the stress free atmosphere.

An Hour later:

"Well, I guess we better head back to Kaede’s for the night." suggested Sango, rising from the water.

They all agreed and after drying off in the moonlight, they dressed and walked back to Kaede's hut together.

That night while sleeping at Kaede's, Leiko dreamed about her grandfather, and woke up deciding to go for a walk to clear her head a bit.
