Chapter 1: Sadness

Kagome sat, huddled against the God tree, as if she was trying to draw strength from it. A cold

sad aura was felt by the forest and the air itself. Any youkai nearby would have sensed an

the source of the voice. The voice that, in one word, lured a powerful and emotionless lord to

pursue it. As Kagome quietly sat against the God tree the wind returned. But not alone...
