Chapter 1

~~~~Five Hundred Years into the past~~~~

"Are you sure this is for the rest my love. Do we really need to place the spell on our only child." Sadly spoke the man's voice.

"Yes my dear, if the visions I have been having are true then our daughter' life is in great danger." Said Midoriko as tears escaped from her eyes.

She laid their infant child upon the rock slab in the lowers chambers of her beloved's dwellings.

The child watched them with fascinated eyes. A white aura began to form around Midoriko as she began the enchantment to put her beautiful daughter Mikilai to sleep forever. More tears fell from her eyes as her daughters beautiful green eyes slowly began to close. When the deed was complete Midoriko feel to her knees. A pair of strong arms wrapped themselves around her petite waist and hoisted her up into the chest of the man she loved.

They do not know how long they both stay in that room just holding each other, crying for the child neither would get to know. The spell that was cast upon her she would never age a day. They slowly made their way upstairs to never see their daughter again.

~~~~~A Few months later~~~~

I will go in search of this monster that wants our precious child dead. I do not believe I will return after this journey but always remember I love and our child. Protect her for me always." Whispered Midoriko into her sleeping beloved's ear.

And as quietly as the wind she left.

~~~~~14 Years before Present day Feudal Japan~~~~

A Little year old girl awoke from her bed screaming. The lord came running into his daughter's bed room.

"What is the matter, daughter." As he hugged her tiny body to his chest.

"I had the dream again daddy. The one about the miko that creates the shikon no tama." She wails! "I don't know why but it makes me real sad when I have this dream."

He gently lifts her up and carries her to his room. It has become a nightly ritual for her to have these dreams. She can never seem to get back to sleep. As he lays her upon his bed he lays beside her, he quietly hummed the song that her mother sang to a few times before she died.

~~~~~Present Feudal Day Japan~~~~~

The little girl was now an eighteen year old woman. She gracefully walked to her father.

Her father turned from his seat on the balcony that over looked the garden.

"Father, I am leaving. I want to learn of the world outside the palace walls." As she placed a hand lightly on his shoulder.

"I know daughter. I knew this day would some time come." As he turned his face towards her.

They just looked at each other. She closed her eyes as a single tear fell from her eyes. She turned swiftly and walked away form her father, never knowing if she would see him again.

A few minutes after she left her father summoned a maid.

"I wish for you to send for Kouga the wolf Prince. Tell him that I wish to have an audience with him." As he turned towards the gardens. Tell him it is of the utmost urgency."

"Yes my lord." Quietly replied the maid as she bowed and took her leave.

"My daughter I wish you well on your journey. Come back to me safely someday." He whispered to the wind.
